lot to Assassinate New Register of Treas'y --- ME VIII. NUMBER 31. nined Effort on Foot to Slay Negro Who Accepts Jim Crow Job of Registrar of Treasury. RACE'S HONOR MUST BE FIRST. Who Accepts Office Stands in Danger of Life—Young College Men Have Put Foot Down to Kill First Race Man by Shooting or Poisoning if He Accepts Segregated Job. WOMAN MAKES GOOD AFTER 15 YEARS OUT OF COLLEGE This is the Kind of Women the Race Wants—Women Who Will Work for an Education and Then Work for the Sake of Humanity—Passed Highest Examination of All, the Two Ahead of Her Having Finished School in 1912. July 3 brought the 4th ahead of its time at the office of The Defender when a reporter picked up the Civil Service News and saw third among a list of names that of Mrs. Marie E. Thompson Holmes, 3S27 Wabash avenue, who is on our subscription list. Not letting her know our object, a reporter was sent to her house and through a ruse got her photo and had a cut made of her in order that our young women may look and learn. Many of our girls quit high school and say, "The reason I quit is because I did not intend being a teacher." If this young woman had had such thoughts in her mind she would not have been now employed by the county as trained nurse at Oak Forest Sanitarium, which is owned by the city of Chicago. Mrs. Holmes, who claims to be a sufrager, was born in Charleston, W. Va., about 34 years ago and graduated from the above college in 1893. She then came west to Kansas City, Kan., with her two brothers, who are doctors—Sol H. Thompson and Jos. R. Thompson, dentist. She studied nursing and has made it a success. Coming to Chicago she entered the service of the city and has been in it ever since. Mr. J. H. Holmes, a traveling man for the C. B. & Q. corporation, was so proud of the success of his wife he bought her a beautiful diamond brooch. Winking at our reporter he says, "That's love on first sight, too." She told him, "Wait until I get you, home." But they just laughed. The following is the standing, the two former names having graduated HILTON in 1912 while Mrs. Holmes came out 15 years ago. She has given ten years of service in Dunning and Oak Forest and she says if Mr. Holmes would allow her she would put in ten more years. The score: Attending Nurse, Tuberculosis. Held June 6.

The colored people, very naturally, wish for the confirmation of Mr. Patterson, as they would regard it as a calamity if the Registrarship of the Treasury should be lost to the Negro race. Cleveland Young Men Angry. Cleveland, O., August I.—The young college men whose secret mission met here July 31 have decided to run to death any Negro who will accept the office of Registrar of the Treasury when he must take it as a Jim Crow proposition. We have avowed to God to kill the brute who disrespects our race and takes such a kick from the Democrats. COLORED ALDERMAN FOR SECOND WARD The Fight Is to a Finish—Rumor Has It That Ward is to Be Split Again to Curb Colored Citizens' Strength —The Poles Have One, the Jap-erese Alphabet Have One, Why Not You? The race citizens of the Second ward are organizing for the purpose of having a race man as alderman from that ward, believing that as citizens they should have the proper representation in the city council, as well as elsewhere. They intend to select a representative member of the race for alderman, then ask a place for him on the regular ticket at the primaries, then plect him. Furthermore, we need a member of the race on the school board. There are Catholics on the board who have no interest at stake, yet we as a race have no representation. A GREAT MAN AND REAL ESTATE. Wm. Jennings Bryan has said, "Real estate is the best investment for small savings. More money is made from the rise in real estate values than all other causes combined. To speculate in stocks is dangerous, but when you buy real estate you are buying an inheritance." Why not make your rent money work for you. See Bartlett's ad on the last page. The great steel steamship was crowded to its utmost with over one thousand jolly people who sought relief on Tuesday night and who took part in the annual moonlight excursion given under the auspices of the members of St. Thomas' Guild. It was a very enjoyable evening and from what the Defender reporter could observe every one was having a fine time. Everything went off as arranged. The younger set had an enjoyable time dancing to the strains of Prof. Garfield Wilson's music. LOOK OUT FOR CONFIDENCE MEN. A white gentleman, palming himself off as agent for the United States Publishing Co., walked into the store of Mrs F. Francis, 3409 Street street, to sell her some cases to put magazines and newspapers in, also to send her each week all the colored papers from all over the country, but that she must pay 700 for express on the cases, which would be delivered the next The week has passed and the ry has not come yet. Now Mrs. is anxious to have the scamp hended and given into the hands law as well as warning the al public against the monster. MISTAKE CORRECTED.

During the past six months, he has not only so appointed him, over the head of the chief of police, who made so many bluffs at his appointment, must feel cheap at the wrist of the police, but he also sun shines; we are in hopes more of our college men will seek advancement along this line—the police as well as the firemen holds his office in the Bureau of Identification. He still holds his office in the Bureau of Identification. Colored Waiters Draw Color Line on Woman of Race White Dining-car Conductor Forced to Rebuke Brutes to Their Sense of Duty—Men Were from the South, and Illiterate at that—They Claimed They Were Not Used to Waiting on Colored People—Such Negroes Should be Let Out of Service. Miss Myrtle Witherspoon, Who Had Been Visiting in Los Angeles for the Past Six Months, Passed Through Chicago on Her Way East, and Related Horrible Treatment at the Hands of Colored Men Over the U. P. Railroad. Last week one of the outrageous treatments that could befall a young lady was forced on Miss Myrtle Witherspoon on a Union Pacific passenger train. Having spent the winter in the balmy climes of California, she boarded a train for the east. Having Pullman accommodations she was shown her seat and was given the courtesy that one could wish by porter, and both train and Pullman conductor, but, on entering the dining car her journey had to be marred by the illiterate southern brutes who try to lorate a lady to white men as in the south. She was seated at the table by the steward and given a bill of fare and check. Pausing long enough to write her order she noticed that none of the waiters came near to serve her. Waiting patiently, thinking that they might be busy, she said nothing, but the situation began to become strained, for these brutes began to make remarks not only to one another but to the white steward in charge. Finally this gentleman, seeing that his crew were not men, got them in the pantry and cursed them, telling them that a dog could not have been treated worse; that no Irish, Jew, German, nor any nation ality on the face of the globe but a cowardly "nigger" would try to, much less treat a woman who has proved herself a lady as they had—that on the end of the trip none would ever leave the station with him again. "Woman is a woman, and you have all had mothers, many have sisters and to do as you men have done proves to me that you are not fit to mingle with the class you are hired to serve, of which this lady is one. She has a ticket, she is a passenger and under the law and while I have charge of this car you must serve everyone the same—black, white, yellow or brown makes no difference to me." AL. TEARNEY APPROVED, JACK JOHNSON DIS- APPROVED. Will the American Negro Now Open His Eyes? The swift course of justice has again been shown in the case of the City vs. Al Tearney. Tearney was discharged in Judge Robinson's court after the city, as the judge claimed, had not proved their case.

M'CRACKEN SUED FOR $10,000 Son-in-Law Wants $10,000 of the Doctor's Religious Funds for Taking Back His Wife's Affections—He Declares to Defender Reporter He Will Write Another Book and Sue the Old Gent if He Don't Come Across.

Oscar Micheaux, of Gregory, S. D., came into Chicago from his ranch this week and filed suit in the Circuit Court of Cook County in the sum of $10,000 against his father-in-law, Rev. N. J. McCracken of 3235 Vernon avenue and presiding elder of the Cairo District of the A. M. E. Church. In his complaint Mr. Micheaux states that his wife, Orlean, and he lived together in perfect peace and harmony, with no thought of separating. That Rev. McCracken came on two visits and pretended to be highly elated with their home and success in the west. He states that the elder, however, had never liked him on account of his ideas, and that while parading as a friend of his he chose a day when he was away; had his wife forge his name to a check for $50 and brought her to Chicago. He claims that the reverend circulated false reports that his daughter was mistreated in order to justify his action. Mr. Micheaux in his complaint further alleges that he bought his wife a homestead before marrying her, but that on account of his wife being taken away by her father the claim was contested. He fought the case through all the land courts in the Department of the Interior in behalf of his wife and finally won before Secretary Lane. In a statement to a Defender reporter Mr. Micheaux said: "In my book, 'The Conquest,' the experiences of the 'Negro Pioneer' quite resembled my own. The man who contested my wife's claim was a banker and about the time my book came out his bank failed, paying 25 cents on the dollar. "Now the fellow who had contested the claim bought a copy of the book—which had a tremendous sale in South Dakota. He read it; got an idea; came to Chicago; saw my wife, and tried to have her sell. This she refused to do. The banker then sent for Rev. McCracken and paid his way from Cairo to this city, so I understand. Then, acting under her father's advice, my wife signed the relinquishment and the banker returned and secured a filing on the land. I do not know what she received, but am told $300. I paid $2,500 for the land and $500 attorney's fees for winning it before Secretary Lane of the Interior Department. "I am sorry. I do not care for the financial loss. I have sustained through Rev. McCracken's hatred for me, but I know my wife loves me and would be living happily with me if it was not for her father."

CHARLESTON HAS BIGGEST TEN- CENT STORE Only One of Its Kind in America —$20,000 Raised by Dollar Subscriptions—Building Four Stories—Twenty-five Young Men and Women Given Work. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Charleston, S. C., August 2.—What is reported to be, of the largest commercial ventures of the race in the Southland is a four-story ten-cent store owned and operated by the race. This is the outgrowth of a small company that started years ago and by dollar subscriptions raised twenty thousand. Recently they have enlarged their space and are now covering four floors. It is patronized by both races and gives employment to twenty-five members of our race and to two white girls, who have been employed in other ten-cent stores. These white girls act as managers in different departments. The store is well kept, and the grade of merchandise that is sold is equal to any for the money. It is not only the largest but the only one of its kind in America. It proves to the world that if the race would unite throughout the United States they would be successful. One of its kind could be made to pay in any of the large northern cities, namely New York and Chicago. There is a vast field in the latter city and as the young men and women are denied a place to work in the stores of the other race it would give employment to the otherwise idle. MR. B. G. COWDEN STRUCK BY AMERICAN BASEBALL. One of the balls that should have gone on the score board at American Giants' park on Sunday, bounced back and went the other way, striking the ankle of Mr. Oberdler Woods, the window polisher, who sat on top of the grandstand, glanced off and struck Mr. Cowder, 2637 Dearborn street, on the nose, breaking same and injuring his right eye. It seemed strange, but it's true, a reporter for The Defender sat next to him; but he didn't know the ball had struck Mr. Cowden until he fell over in his lap—the reporter was so busy laying Rube out. Our reporter assisted him to his home, where, after the care of the doctors, was resting easy. It is likely Mr. Scollin will have to use some of the money he has saved from not advertising in colored papers and pay a few weeks' wages to Mr. Cowden. M. E.

NEGRO WOMEN ASLEEP. Says Mrs. Francis When They Will Go to the Merrit Theater as Long as such a Vulture is Permitted to Hang About the Place—Theater Should Have Colored Young Lady in Ticket Office—The Merrit, the Only House on the Biroff That Refuses to Give Colored Young Women Work—White Girls Don't Need Job, They Have All the Work at Higher Wages Than Our Girls, Says Mrs. Francis. Thursday morning a reporter for The Defender dropped into Mrs. Francis' place, 3409 State street, to see her about the rumor of a confidence man which is told elsewhere in this issue, when she began to tell about the insults given her by Slonaker, labor union official, and how colored women flock to the house where race women are not considered; Mr. Francis, cutting in, said: "Take it from me, I am ready to lay down my life for my wife. I am ready and willing to go and teach such toughs that because my face is black I am no less a man. I am not speaking this way because I live in the North, but if a Southern, white or black, gentleman, insulted her, I would fly for his collar. The judge on the bench threatened to fine Slonaker $250 if he was brought there again. Mr. Reporter, you can tell the Defender people I thank them from the bottom of my heart in the way they have treated the case, and if we had more race papers to fight our battles as that dear little paper has done, we would not have to worry about insults. "Then, too, Mr. Reporter, do you know that there are colored men about these theaters who are not acting right. They think they must insult our women and girls, for, it is claimed, to hold their jobs. When it comes to this, no man should permit himself, for the sake of a job, to lower his manhood, because if a man has a white face he has a chance to get a job where you cannot; be men, all I can say, to the men of our race, and if necessary lay down your life for the protection of any woman, white or black, who is wantonly insulted by the human beasts that rove among intelligent people of this great city." IN DEFENSE OF MAYOR JACKSON. I Feel It My Duty to Strike Back at Attempts to Weaken the Run- There appears in one of the weekly newspapers of last week a cut and a write-up, covering the proposed candidacy of a gentleman for the next legislature, in the place of the present incumbent, who, by the way, has hardly gotten his feet wet, so to speak, in that he was compelled to contest the seat. The paper essays to establish, what it styles as "ugly rumors," should the present member make the effort to be returned, and again, it says that he "got in bad" when he championed the passage of the bill which carried with it $25,000 for the purpose of holding an exhibit among the colored people. Be that as it may, "through our glasses" the man whom the paper would replace him with, under the circumstances, would have done likewise. Had he failed, then the hue and cry would have been to the reverse, and so it goes. If the colored people do not press the present representative to aspire for a second term, they will be guilty of a very grievous error, and if the newspaper thinks that it can serve the race by striving to inject another into his place, we desire to say that they are only serving to make the breach wider, and race lovers may regard, as they will, that both the paper and the candidate are simply satiating their own greed in the hope that no colored men will be chosen. Just how, under the law, the governor could have helped himself in naming the present member, he being the only colored man in the legislature, is not clear. That he wired the governor as they report is not to be for an instant considered, because it is not true, and since the man whom the newspaper has centered upon has been heard to say that the present member should not have the nomination for a second term even though he stood himself as a candidate, in order to defeat. It comes with poor grace now for him to make such an announcement, but rest assured the present member should stand as a candidate, and should be defeated, thereby serving to defeat race representation in the next legislature, that they, in common with us, all will be the sufferers. Touching the private life of the present member, his lodge connections will compare as favorable as that which the newspaper would have us believe that the person whom they are boosting, and, as they think, poisoning the minds of the people, unnecessarily, when as a matter of fact it is nothing but a phantom grievance. We reserve the right to say more along this line and have carefully eschewed the names used by the newspaper, and if the paper in question is avowed in destroying rather than in building, all we can say is, "Up and at 'em."—Frank De Volin.

Notwithstanding the fact that the temperature was high and the mercury hovered around the hundred mark, a large audience was out last Sunday afternoon at Hope Presbyterian Church to hear the special program rendered by the Englewood Lyceum. The Lyceum continues to maintain the high standard which it has set, and every program rendered adds merit to the work and endears it more to the hearts of its patrons. Every effort is made to give those who attend the meetings something of merit in return for their time and encouragement. It is the aim of the Lyceum to set a higher mark each month, by raising the standard of its literary work, making it more attractive, more beautiful and more artistic; to do this it endeavors to secure the best talent attainable. Last Sunday was "Lawyer's Day" and a splendid program was prepared. The Lyceum was fortunate in securing, besides other excellent numbers, the Entre Nous orchestra, which rendered several classical numbers. Cello solos, "Evening Star" and "Dearest Memories," were beautifully rendered by Mr. Oscar Holden, Trombone solo, "Perfect Day," was rendered by Mr. Harry Swift, and so charming and delightful was its effect that by special request it was again played for the offertory. "The Rosary" was rendered by the orchestra, with Mrs. Florence Clark at the piano, while Mrs. James Edward Smith, its affable manager, was greatly in evidence. Besides the above named, Messrs. Oscar Tower, William Randels and Hugh Swift helped to swell the chorus with their necessary instruments of music. Mr. Wadsworth Holmes, with his usual captivating melody, enshrined himself in the hearts of the audience in his rendition of "Face to Face" by Herbert Johnson. Mr. Isaac T. Yarboro, accompanied by Mrs. Yarboro, sang an excellent baritone solo, "The Garden of My Heart," by Ball. The addresses of the day were made by Mr. Jerry M. Brumfield and Mr. Albert B. George, attorneys at law. Mr. Brumfield is a young lawyer just beginning what may be termed a successful practice; he is a brilliant young man of sterling qualities, embued with a high moral sense of honor and duty. His subject was: "The Law and What Not to Do." Mr. Albert B. George, the principal speaker, delivered an address on "The Law" and gave the audience much valuable information in regard to the profession. Dr. C. Lee Jefferson, the pastor, made a few remarks, in the course of which he commented upon the excellent rendition of the program and heartily thanked those who participated. WABASH AVE. LIKE OLD FIELD.

Alone Twenty-Four Years. It was stated at an inquest on a woman at Newington, England, recently that she had been a tenant of Ponsonby buildings, Blackfriars, for 24 years, and the porter said he had never known her to have a visitor. Her sister happened to call, and at her request he burst the door open and found the woman dead. Further evidence showed that the cause of death was bronchitis, and that the woman had been dead for two days.

Polk, our pastor, arrived home safely Sunday evening from Alabama, where he had been for the last thirty days. He reports having a grand time with his friends and relatives, whom he had not seen for some time. It is understood that he is back on business and those who would be coworkers with him must mean strictly business. The Missionary Circle gave a social gathering in honor of their pastor's return on last Monday night. They had a fine time and were well pleased with the sum they raised, which was good for the attendance. Mrs. Henry, our organist, is able to attend church after her illness. Mrs. M.

We were pleased to note the increased attendance at our class meeting on last Friday, July 25. The reorganization of classes is proving by attendance and collections the wisdom of this step. The regular services on Sunday last were well attended. The talk given in the evening by Attorney T. Webster Brown and the solo by Mrs. Lou Ella Lyle Smith were much enjoyed and greatly appreciated. Our pastor is busy organizing the church for an anniversary rally, which will take place some time in the fall months. At our service Sunday morning Dr. M. C. B. Mason will preach. Dr. Mason is one of the best known speakers of the race. The holy communion will be administered at the evening service. This change is made to accommodate a number of members who can neither attend the morning nor afternoon communion service. It is hoped that this change will be appreciated by all the members. Our No. 2 Stewardess Board, of which Mrs. M. J. Green is president, was highly entertained by Stewardess Board No. 1 of St. Paul C. M. E. church at the home of its president, Mrs. Jones, 4014 Dearborn street. Both of the boards were well represented and a delightful evening was spent. Encouraging remarks were made by Rev. T. L.

Jenifer was to have preached at the morning service, but was delayed by an accident in coming to the church. However, the service was beautifully carried out, Dr. Wilson delivering the morning sermon and Dr. Jenifer adding words of encouragement and fatherly advice as he extended the invitation to come and join, to all unsaved and belonging to no church. At the evening service a large audience greeted the Rev. Philip H. Watson of Milan, Tenn., Dr. Wilson's brother-in-law, who delighted his hearers with an able discourse, taking as his theme "Revealed Knowledge." Text, Job. 19th chapter, verses 26-27. Sunday, August 3, is rally day. Tuesday, August 12, is the day the trustees must meet the mortgage and make a fair payment. How large this payment will be depends upon the interest taken and the financial assistance given by each member and friend. The last Sunday in August will be our last quarterly meeting service for this conference year. All are looking forward to this day with great anticipation. A hallelujah time a $100 contribution is the slogan. The annual conference is drawing near. Every St. Johnite knows what this means. Dr. Wilson is now ready to accept the meaning in full.

It wil and must be a surprise to many who have been too busy doing their qh Me's work to give much if any attention to what is going on around tiem, to learn that Sl” Mark has nearly G00 members now. The Rally. Most any church in Uits city wilt congratulate itself when it hus organ- ted anit successfully carried forward a financial campaign in which more Gin $1,000 has been ratsed. St. Mark, under the leadership of its energetic anid capable pastor, the Rey.

The children were organized into the Onward Club, About one month was devoted to organizing and Q¥a months to cunpaigning for funds. Preliminary rallies were Neld, Litue by little the interest and enthusiasm was enkindied. Men and women whe decided at first w give $5, changed their mind and gave $10 to $60. Mem- bers who siniled significantly when tie pastor and a few zealous ones sliquted the slogan of $2,000, sume few who spoke derisively in hushed whispers where they felt they could afford to speak thelr minds, soon be- gan to realize that St. Mark was never more in earnest about anything than this $2,000 rally. Doubt surcen- dered to faith, Scorn and incredulity retreated before the advancing col- umins of confidence. That which the pastor and the committee said must and can be done, soon everyhody was conceding that it would be done. St. Mark believed that it would raise $2, 00H Suaday, Tuly 27, 1913.

When the day was done, St. Mark had made good its word’ and the $2,000 was an accomplished fact ---$9,000 had been paid into the treas- ury of the building committee. While Mrs. G. F.

The jhome, located at 2265 East 40th strect, is a beautiful three-story building qwned by St. John’s A. M, E. eburchl as its parsonage, but is leased by the association for a period of years. rs, Levi T. Schofield, one of Cleveland’s wealthy and most phil- anthropic fvhite citizons, president of the Y. W.|C. A., being detained in the East by a daughter's illness, was sub- stituted by Mrs. Laura S, Goodhue, who gave la very interesting sketch of the life of Phillis Wheatley and praised the association for having named its organization after so grand and noble a woman. Addresses were also made by Miss Jesste Angell, who extended greetings of the Y. W. C. A. as a sister organization, Hon. John P. Green, Miss J. Edna Hunter and others. Miss Hunter, the general secretary, has worked most earnestly for nearly three years to accomplish this grand undertaking and is being surfeited with congratulations from all sides for her creditable work in behalf of the home. Miss Hunter Is a professional nurse, having received her training and education in Charles- ton, S. C., and“at Hampton Institute.

This great big hustling city is full of visitors from all parts of the country, and while there are hundreds of places of amusement to take our guests, somehow it doesn't matter how short their stay is, they must find time to take in the Grand, which goes to prove in what high esteem this playhouse is held. The offering the first half of the week was only mediocre. Steele & McAlvany, roller skaters, opened the bill, and that's about all they did do. Harlow & Rollinson played a number or so on accordions, but couldn't arouse any enthusiasm. Capt. Jack Morrissey in his lariat throwing and western stunts was exceptionally good. Orpheus Comedy Four, billed as "that somewhat different quartet," just got by and that's all; by a long stretch of imagination all one could consider them funny. Then came Joe Jordan in his song review. Have you ever heard Joe sing? If you have, then you will understand why he had such talented artists to interpret his songs. Joe is a crackerjack when it comes to writing songs, but as a songster a mud hen has him skinned a city block. But anyway Ethel James, Lizzie Wallace, Mamie Carter, Ada Smith and Ethel Cole, ably supported by Henry Allen, Arthur Malone and the "Turrible Villain." Jerry Mills—not to mention the kings of fun making, Miller & Lyles—made the act a knockout, as evidenced by the gate receipts. ```markdown ``` Everyone was glad to see George Smith, son of the proprietor, again on the job after several weeks' vacation hunting and fishing in Michigan. He is a wee bit tanned, but so are most of the patrons of the Grand, so he is right in line. LOUISVILLE, KY. Ruby Theater. The Royal Hawaiian Duo opened Monday night to a most appreciative audience and was well received, getting rounds of applause for each number and taking three bows at the close of their act. This team is in reality a novelty, as there is no other act like it in vaudeville. The lady is none other than Madam Rosa Lee Tyler, the perless colored operatic soprano, able assisted by Mr. Gerwood, a sweet voiced Hawaiian tenor discovered by her while she was on a tour of the Islands last year. They play native instruments and sing those songs that are sweetly weird, which seem to lull and drift you away into the land of harmony. They also dance the hula-hula, a graceful movement of the body accompanied by music and chanting peculiar to the Hawaiians. After their stay here they go to Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City and return to Chicago, as they are booked by the Colored Consolidated Vaudeville Agency to play their time, which, as Messrs. Dudley & Klein have proposed, will give them twelve or fourteen weeks and take them to Norfolk, Va., around the circuit. The Royal Hawaiian Duo have pleased everyone who has seen them work, for they have music that soothes, songs that cheer, and dancing that pleases the most critical. To see this team perform is to enjoy a good time. They are also doing promotion work for the island city of Honolulu and will be pleased to give any information and answer all questions about the advantages of a trip to the "Paradise of the Pacific." --- The Monogram. Considering the heat the attendance at the Monogram for the past week was exceptionally good. Goodloe and Delk seemed to have little difficulty in putting over a few live jests and their line of talk on the whole pleased the audience. Mason and Oliver were forced to respond to several encores, their selection of songs being pleasing. Thelma, a female impersonator, and the Green Trio also came in for their share of the honors. An exceptionally good bill is promised for the coming week. The State. If you haven't heard it we want to break the glad tidings to you gently. Joe Jordan and his famous Pekin Orchestra have been signed up by Manager Tank (and right here let us state we saw the contract and the price staggered us) to furnish the music for the newest of "The Stroll" theaters. Everybody knows what that means. Mr. Jordan's reputation has long been made here, in Chicago. Seven big features are being put on at this house and the man in the box office is still only asking you ten cents to see it all. It is a big, cool, artistic and inviting place to spend an evening at a very nominal price. The bill for next week is a hummer. Miller & Lyles will soon bid farewell to the "Windy City" and start on their annual big time trip. We are sorry to lose them but glad we have such clever artists to represent us on the vandeville stage. Making good is a mild way of putting what they are doing; in the language of the late George Washington Jr. they're a scream. Thompson, Cooper and Thompson filled in a house recently where they were short an act—and, by the way, a house where colored performers have heretofore been barred—and made such a hit the management made them a flattering offer for a week's engagement. It pays to deliver the goods, and it also pays to know something else besides ragtime. THE PEKIN BENEFIT. In our write-up of the benefit for Mr. Columbus Bragg, the name of Mr. Williams Cole, was left out through an oversight of the committee on arrangements. We will state that it was Mr. Cole's efforts which brought about the success of the affair, and it does seem strange how some people will let petty jealousy creep into their beings to mar the worth of others who are trying to do good for others. When others on the program committee were sitting at ease at the cabaret tables, he, through rain and sweltering sun, pushed onward and upward to the place where he planted his flag; besides this, he managed the affair throughout, as well as making the announcements of different facts and introducing Mr. Bragg to the audience. THE PHILAMATHEAN DRAMATIC CLUB. ENTERTAINS. The Philamathean Dramatic Club gave their first outing and picnic Saturday afternoon at Jackson Park on Wooded Island. The affair was very successful, with the attendance of about 12 girls and 6 boys and the chaperone, Mrs. E. Moody. After dinner they played such delightful games as: Last Couple Out; Run, Sheep, Run; Handball, etc. The Philamathean Club has been organized for the past two years and is very highly distinguished among boys and girls of the South Side. ROSAMOND JOHNSON RUNS LONDON WILD. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) London, July 31.—The performer and composer, J. Rosamond Johnson, once the junior member of the team of Cole and Johnson,imitators of Williams and Walker,has just participated in London in what is thought to be the first race wedding ever celebrated in England. Johnson is in London as the supervisor of the music at the London opera house, where tunes of his are played and sung in the revue, "Come Over Here!" Prosperity prompted him to send to Florida for his finance, who had the name of Nora Floyd, and they were duly married upon her arrival in the British capital. HAVE A LAUGH WITH ME By Waldo Baston. Do you believe in honesty? No. I am too poor for that. "How do you expect to find work unless you get outdoors and look for it?" shouted Mrs. Yeggs at her husband. "Well," he replied, "I can very easily explain that. You see I'm looking for inside work." Tramp—Lady, will you give me something to eat; I'm a cripple? Lady—Where are you crippled? Tramp—In the stomach. "That baby across the street hollers all the time." "Yes, he was born on a holi-day." Doctor—Why do you think your wife is losing her hearing? Husband—Because when we first married she used to answer when I called her early in the morning to get breakfast; but now she just lies there and never answers. Doctor—Oh, that's easily explained. She's not losing her hearing; she's losing her love. AT THE Y. M. C. A. HEAD QUARTERS. Y. M. C. A.'S ORCHESTRA Causes New Interest in Activities About Their Center. Business generally at the Wabash avenue department of the Y. M. C. A. is flourishing. The membership is daily increasing and the interest constantly becoming more intense. The gymnasium classes in all departments are well attended and the rivalry in the baseball games and relay races is making for a great deal of excitement. The restaurant has had a high mark week, so more men are talking about the good cooking. The association enjoyed the treat of having Mr. Robert Weidensall, a pioneer Y. M. C. A. man and one who has been in the work 47 years, visit the building last Saturday and speak at the men's meeting Sunday afternoon. Mr. Simbini Nkomo, a native African, spoke to the boys about Africa and native customs last Sunday. His African songs greatly delighted the youngsters. Mrs. Gidley delivered a highly dramatic and instructive lecture on Lincoln to the boys last Thursday evening. A patrol of the Boy Scouts from Evanston swelled the number of boys who heard the lecture to fifty. Prominent speakers will address the boys every Thursday evening at 7:30. The first installment of six boys from the choir have been entered by the St. Thomas church. Since last week the boys' team has won four baseball games and lost one. Now they are getting ready for the first member's feast. The very latest thing about the association, though, is the Y. M. C. A. Symphony orchestra, consisting of fifty of the leading musicians in town. Mr. Joseph Jordon, formerly of the Pekin orchestra, is the leader. Lieutenant J. E. Hawkins is the manager. The orchestra meets at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesdays and Fridays at 3 o'clock. Overvalued. There are many people who get disgusted with their work if they can't get more than they are worth.— Waldo Baston. MUSICIANS WANTED Wanted—Violinist for reputable concert company. Some experience in solo and orchestra work required. Long season and right salary to right party. Address "Musté," Defender. By Ar-W-Tee. "Some show town" is Washington. T. Spencer Finley, James Yaughn and Will A. Cooke have abandoned their plan to collaborate in the writing of a new musical comedy. Miss Gertrude M. Ryan, well known in the "smart set" of the nation's capital, now presides gracefully in the box office of the Howard Theater. During the past season Miss Ryan served quite successfully in a similar capacity at S. H. Dudley's theater in Newport Va. Misses Effie King and Lottie Gee, the original "Ginger Girls" are putting on a high class "sister act" at the Fairyland and are drawing big houses nightly, made up largely of admirers from all sections of the city, who disregard distance when the appearance of this charming duo is announced. They have a repertoire of new songs and are wearing some new Parisian "creations." Manager Kearney announces that their engagement is for an indefinite period, which fact pleases them and everybody else, as Washington is "peaches" for the Misses King and Gee. They call it "home." Miss Ida Day, who sings about "Campbell's Soup" with the Porto Rican Girls, is a splendid advertisement of the healthful properties of that delectable food product. Miss Day belongs to the May Irwin class of plump femininity, but is one of the most graceful dancers on the stage, and as a terpsichorean artist can make all of her slenderer sisters "sit up and take notice." If some of our topnotch performers—as well as others—would just remember that songs are supposed to convey a meaning and that words are written to be enunciated, their offerings would go better. Further, a lot of them would please their audiences by singing and dancing more and indulging less in foolish and unnecessary talk. And still further, if any team visits the capital and gets off that ancient chestnut about "how are you going to act at the party," the perpetrators are going to "get the hook" good and strong. Our folks have had all of that they can stand. Word comes that Miss Emma Griffin, of the Griffin Sisters, is rapidly recovering from the effect of an operation at St. Mark's hospital in New York City. She has been the recipient of many cheering messages, flowers, etc., for which she returns sincere thanks to her many friends in various sections of the country. She is spending her convalescent period at the home of Mrs. William Davis, 113 West 131st street, New York. She expects to be able to resume her stage work at an early date. Dr. Charles Sumner Wormley, the favorite baritone, is to fill a number of concert engagements during the month of August. Al Watts and Miss Estelle Cash (Mrs. Watts) won many plaudits for the excellent act they pat on here at the Howard a week or so ago. Mr. Watts is a natural comedian and gets out of a situation all there is in it, and Miss Cash is a winsome singer and graceful dancer and wears some stunning gowns. It was recalled that Mr. and Mrs. Watts were married on the stage of the Howard Theater about two years ago in the presence of a monster audience, and it is not surprising that the place should have a sentimental charm for them. For several seasons they have been members of the Black Patti Troubadours, but will not rejoin the show this year, preferring to remain in vaudeville. While here Mr. and Mrs. Watts were the guests of Mrs. Watts' uncle, Mr. Floyd A. Roman of the Southern Hotel. Rufus G. Byars, the Howard's assistant manager, makes an ideal notion-store keeper on Wednesday nights and presides with life-like naturalness at the country store on Saturday nights. He gladdens the hearts of many Howard patrons by handing out glassware and household necessities on one of the evenings, and passing out pork and beans, cabbage and fatback, bales of hay, chickens and watermelons on the eve preceding the Sunday dinner. Things do not seem "right" at the Howard if there is no speech forthcoming from "Orator" Byars, who never misses his cue, no matter how "dicty" the audience he faces. Miss Daisy Martin, assisted by Lawrence Chenault, was the "scream" of the Howard bill last week. Miss Martin is an electric spark and gives a striking example of perpetual motion while she is "on." Her vigor and animation are the talk of the town and more than one has asked, "How can she keep up such a whirlwind gait?" She is a human cyclone and can give Eva Tanguay cards and spades and win hands down in a contest of nervous energy and endurance. Mr. Chenault is a competent partner and it is often remarked that Miss Martin "makes him earn his salary, all right, all right." Lew Henry, the erudite manager of Dudley's U Street Theater, is writing a series of able articles on stage life and is showing a flood of light on the richness of the material with which the race is now blessed in all phases of the theatrical work. Mr. Henry is one of the best posted authorities in the country on the theatrical matters, and has "a memory like an elephant" on the happenings of the past—well, it wouldn't be parliamentary to tell how many years. A long time, anyhow, Ask Mr. Henry. Down the Lines Jones—"Does he belong to the four hundred?" Smith—"Yes; he's one of the ciphers." Must Learn In Hard School No man can learn patience except by going out into the hurly-burly world, and taking life as it blows.—Henry Ward Beecher. Strange. Strange things happen. The other evening we were kept awake for an hour or so by two men arguing a certain question and for once the man with the loud voice was right. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER SCRAP OF CONVERSATION GAVE HIM PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. As it Turned Out, He Was Mistaken In Conclusion Arrived at, but It Resulted in Capturing the Order Looked For. There is a silk merchant in the Fourth avenue district who never tires of telling how he got a certain retailer in one of the smaller New England cities as a customer when he was a knight of the grip, says the New York Times. This is the burden of his tale: "All men on the road have the experience of bumping into a stone wall when it comes to selling a bill of goods to certain retailers. That was my experience with Smith, up in Haverhill. No matter what I had or at what it was priced, Smith would want anything. Still, I don't regularly from several companies. He wouldn't go to lunch every day nor would he accept any of the retailer attentions that are usually received good buyers. "I had practically decided not to try him any more, when one evening I overheard two other salesmen talking in a hotel office. I didn't catch the name of the man of whom they were talking, but when I heard one salesman say that he never would accept a lunch I felt sure that they were discussing Smith. "It's a funny thing about him,' the salesman went on, 'but he always goes home to lunch, no matter how busy he is. Jones told me the other day that it was because his wife was the boss of the household and made him do it. She is very fond of display, too, and often makes him do things for her that he doesn't want to do because he is unwilling to spend the money." "Thinking that I had something on Smith I dropped in to see him the next day right after he had come back from lunch. He hadn't had time to tell me to get out when Mrs. Smith came in. "No more business today, Henry," she said, ignoring me. "Order up a good team and take me for a ride." "Smith didn't want to do it, but there seemed to be no way out. Then I made a bold play. I told him by sign language that I would take her for the drive. The effect was surprising. With a glad smile he jumped to his feet, saying, 'Let me introduce Mr. Brown of New York, dear. He travels for Blank & Co., and is an old friend of mine. Would you mind if he came with us?' "Then I came into play again. 'If Mr. Smith is busy,' I said to Mrs. Smith, 'may I volunteer to take you for the ride?' Almost blushing she asked Smith's consent. "We went for the drive. The next day Smith gave me a good order, and he bought goods from us regularly until he retired a few years ago. The best part of the whole thing was that the men talking in the hotel office were not discussing Smith. I learned afterward that they had been talking about another man, a merchant up in Lowell." He Kept the Day. "Say, you," said the policeman, as he crossed the street to head off a tramp that had just been driven away from a basement door, "what's up around here?" "I can't tell you," was the reply. "There's something loose around here, but what it is I don't know." "Nor I." "Were you asking for something to eat back there?" "I was. I braced up to the cook and asked for a hand-me-out, and after looking me over, she says: "Do you keep Sunday, sir?" "I surely does, says I. "What do we have Sunday?" "Ah, I see," said the officer. "You couldn't tell her that." "But I did, your honor." "What did you tell her?" "Why, what should I say except it was because Christopher Columbus discovered America. She went for the broom and then went for me, and if you can tell me where the joke comes in I'd like to hear it. I don't want to go around having my feelings hurt this way." Baltimore American. Settled the Bet. "I woke up suddenly the other night and thought I heard a burglar in the room. I sat up in bed, and that awoke my wife." "What did she do?" "She accused me, as usual, of having a burglar dream. Said I'd never hear a real burglar if I lived a thousand years. I said I'd bet I would. She said she'd bet I wouldn't. And just then a shadowy form rose from behind the dresser and a hoarse voice exclaimed: "He wins, mma'm!" "Did you catch him?" "Catch him? I didn't try. I just laid there and laughed, and heard him slam the door and run down the stairs. And my wife was so mad she didn't speak to me for a whole day. But I'll bet one thing." "What is it?" "I'll bet that burglar was a married man." Hearth-Hunger. "Beyond the need for bread, a woman's needs are two; deeper than all cravings save the mother's passion, firm-rooted in our endless past, is the hearth-hunger. The trees that sweep my chimney have their roots at the world's core! The flowers in my doyard have grown there for a thousand years! What millenniums have done, shall decades undo? We are not so shallow, so plastic as that! We will go into the mills, the shops, the offices, if we must, but we know we are off the track of life. Neither our desire nor our power is there."—Cornella A. P. Comer, in the Atlantic. Might Be a Way. Miss Ancient Wantiman (suddenly awakening)—I see you have my pocketbook; but there's very little money in that compared with what I have in the bank. Burglar (grumfly)—Well, there ain't no way to git that! Miss Ancient Wantiman—H'm! Are you a single man?—Pack NOT FOR HIM TO INTERFERE Constable Could Not See Breach of the Peace When Men Were Fighting "Mongent Theyselfes." A traveler was recently making his way on horseback through the mountainous section inhabited by that class known as the "Free Staters." Turning a bend in the peaceful road, he came upon a strange gathering. In an adjoining meadow were half a hundred or more natives engaged with sticks, stones, flats, and feet in a battle royal, while on the fence hard by sat two-score females cheering them on. The battle was in earnest; and even while the traveler, reining up in astonishment, stood fascinated by the sight, several of the combatants bit the dust. Looking round for some one that might explain this fierce war in the midst of such peaceful surroundings, he spled, sitting on the fence, about a hundred feet from the battle-ground, and apart from the on-looking "ladies," a lank aborigine, contemplatively "chawin" tobacco. As he spurred up to him, he saw, gleaming upon his breast, the star of a constable. "What are these people fighting about?" queried the traveler. The constable looked up languidly, surveyed the traveler at length, and then spake. "They's jest some Free Staters havin' er picnic," he replied. "But they are not picnicking," protested the traveler, "they're fighting." "I reckon they is," replied the constable, slowly uncolling his legs and carefully colling them again. "But," still protested the traveler, "why don't you stop them? You are a constable, I see, and you are sworn to preserve the peace. That's a fragrant breach of it." The constable gazed off into infinite space awhile; then slowly turned to the stranger and, in the disgusted tones of one who must needs explain the obvious, said: "They ain't committin' no breach o' the peace; they's jest fightin' 'mongst themselves!"—New York Evening Post. In Berlin Restaurants: Not long ago the Boston Herald discussed the cookery of futurists in Paris. We now, writes Philip Hale in that newspaper, hear of orders given in restaurants of Berlin: Caviar and whipped cream, mutton with Benedictine sauce, Bismarck herring with strawberry ice, apples and bananas with ground cheese, liver in absinthe, roast beef with pineapple chunks dipped in kennelm. But pepper with strawberries is known in London among the conservative. Dr. Johnson ate cream with his berries and visited friends whose berries were famous. That Germans have had strange tastes in cooking is known to all American students that have sojourned there, and other foreigners have wondered in times past, as the chronicler of Charles V.: "I saw such kinds of meats eaten as a roasted horse, a cat in jelly" (today beware of jugged haro), "little lizards in hot broth, frogs fried and divers sorts of meat, which I never knew what they were till they were eaten. And, for God's sake, what is he that shall read my writing, that see what is commonly eaten at feasts, that it will not in a manner break his heart?" Soap Eater Like Critic. Alfred Noyes, the English poet, tossed aside with a bitter laugh a roast of his last book. "This critic," he said, "reminds me of the old gentleman with the cold—only this critic's cold is permanent—and, by jove, he's not aware he's got it! "At a club, one day, I was taking a wash and brush-up, when I noticed an old gentleman nibbling a cake of soap. After each nibble he would chew the soap thoughtfully, and then, smiling and nodding his head, he would say: "Thank heaven, it's all right." "I asked the old gentleman what on earth he was up to. He explained, as he nibbled away at a large pink cake: "Well, you see, I have had such a rotten bad cold for the last fortnight that it's quite taken away my taste. Every day, to see if I was improving, I've nibbled soap. This afternoon, for the first time, I find that the soap has a quite distinct taste." He took a large pink mouthful. "Um—m yes—quite distinct. Therefore I shan't go home this evening. I shall dine here at the club." Ambitious. A dusky porter of religious inclinations was employed in a downtown brokerage office. His name was Sam. One day he thought it was about time he had had a raise, so he presented himself to the boss, cleared his throat, and began a little oration he had prepared. "Pardon me, suh, for interruptin' you, suh, but I find that with this here high cost of living, and endeavorin' to keep up my regular church contributions, I can't support my family properly. I just got to have more money, suh." The great man grinned. "Well, Sam," he said, "I see your trouble, and I'll give you that raise, but remember, it is far better to give than to receive." "I knows that, boss," replied Sam, "but I likes to get on that reception committee mahself once in a while." —New York Evening Post. Importance of Being Married Men are nothing but overgrown children. They always love to eat and drink what is not good for them. You scarcely ever meet an unmarried man over forty who hasn't something wrong with him, and it would be the same with all the married men if their wives were not constantly on the watch to see that they only eat the things, that agree with them.—The Gulf Between, by P. Y. Redmayne. Seek Appreciation of Others. Mark Twain once said: "Be good, and you'll be lonesome." Nevertheless, most of us try in our own fashion to achieve that brand of loneliness. It is a characteristic of the average individual to "put the best foot forward." We wish to deserve well of our associates, and the desire to be, or at least appear to be, what others expect us to be is an underlying fact of civilization.

Only by referring to the calendar were we convinced that the past month was July. If there is any city, county or state that hasn't planned on having an exposition, will they kindly stand up and be counted? The Broad Ax should not be so broad in its statements and ax the reverend gentleman could be take a fling out of him and family. If Sam T. Jack had his leg shows going nowadays he would get out injunctions on Chicago women for further preventations and a suit for damages for using his stock in trade. Maj. R. R. Jackson held up by real black hands for only $75. My, but you are a cheap bunch. Why not have him deed you one of his three flat buildings? The American Giants are going some when the Important News considers their games important enough to install a telegraph operator to report them. We've been on the ground for sometime. The Board of Trade of Nashville, Tennessee, is one of the busiest organizations in the country. They seem to be the prime movers in everything that has for its object the uplift of the race. Let the good work go on. Now comes up a new legislator who served notice on the people that he will run; still another one from *Amor avenue* who wishes to run; but if the rumor is true, Mr. James T. Brewington will also run. Great Scott! What will the harvest be? "Guess who" the young lady was at the police station explaining why she nightly was found loitering on the "Stroll" is right—and if heed isn't taken to the warning many more young misses who should be tied to their mother's apron strings will be doing the same thing. The following advertisement appeared in *The Tribune* of last Sunday: "Wanted man; must be polite. black and submissive." To make real sure that it was the Chicago Tribune we were reading, we put our glasses on. There is no excuse for some of us being out of employment now. We told you there was nothing small about the people of Illinois, not content with the appropriation the state legislature gave them for the immigration celebration by the decided to ask Congress for a good sum. Well, it takes coin of the realm to do things right, and we never do things by halves. Senator Kee of Georgia, realizing that he must do something to make his name near-famous, as did Vardaman and Blease, hit upon the new idea of "Jim Crow" cars, so introduced to the effect, as the liberty is still out we await with breathless silence the outcome; for further particulars subscribe for and read this paper for a year. There is a lively controversy on in Kentucky as to which was the first county to employ a colored supervisor of public schools. It can be readily seen that this is a grave question, but there is one way of settling it as far as the colored people are concerned, and that is to have a supervisor in each county and give it a ribbon to the one making the best record at the end of the school term. Just why they speak of the Negro and the Indian in the same breath is a mystery, but the daily press invariably do so. Some wise one writes to inform an nxious public that both races are dying out. He might hope so, but figures prove to the contrary, ten years later, the Indian increased 20,000 and the colored increased 1,000,000. We know this isn't pleasant news to some of our friends, but we will speak the truth, even if it hurts. Nipping Evil in the Bud. EVENTIVE Jury, Commissioner Prochaska, of Detroit, is in a fair way of losing his position, while in Judge Phelan's court the other day, and doubtless dreaming that he was in the glorious "Q" (?) Southland, declared he would not "pick a nigger as a juror." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People immediately got busy and already have secured a long list of names to a petition which is to be sent to the governor, asking for his removal. It is only by this persistent chopping off of the enemy's head can order come out of chaos. And this association is doing an inestimable amount of good in every city where there is a branch. Evidently, their motto is, "Let no guilty man escape." Women at the Polis. The magazine section of the Sunday Record-Herald has a two-page cartoon depicting a beautifully gowned, refined suffragette standing in line in front of a polling place waiting her turn to vote. Surrounding her are the typical ward healers and cheap politicians; she is edging away from a tough character and leaning against a colored man. While the designer of the cartoon doubtless did not mean to leave the impression that she was depending on the colored man for protection, that is the first imitation that is given looking at the picture. It's risky to want things—You wanted to vote. It is not too much to say the women will need protection many times at the polls and they will find no better champions of their rights than the man of color, the ideas of cartoonists notwithstanding. Wilderforce University. The state auditor of Ohio, speaking of Wilberforce University, declares that this institution has the best normal and industrial departments in the state, and no other school can offer such advantages at twice the expense. The state levies a university tax which exceeds $000,000, of this sum Wilberforce receives but $17,000, the rest goes for the support of Ohio State and Miami universities. Where they should receive approximately one-third, one-thirty-sixth is allotted them. Still they are expected to receive a large number of students from Ohio pay nothing for tuition, room rent or incidentals. Their only expense is for clothing, books and a fixed charge of $2 a week for board, $130 a year being the average expense of a student a year. While we are thankful for the small amount of $17,000 we are entitled to and should have much more, if for no other reason that we pay more than that proportion of taxes. Some of the big men in Ohio should get a university. Wilberforce University is doing a very truthful comment itself to every truly American citizen, and the /hundreds of graduates who have left its doors have reflected nothing but credit on their alma mater. Col. John R. Marshall. The boys of the gallant 8th regiment are busily preparing to go to camp the latter part of this month. Their trip to Springfield is made later than in previous years owing to the fact that a number of the officials belong to other organizations which meet earlier in August. Illinois, and, in fact, the entire country, is proud of the record made by the 8th regiment, and too much praise cannot be given. Col. John R. Marshall, who, for many years, has guided and directed the troops, has contributed to the high state of efficiency they are today. To manage any large body, and manage them successfully, requires tact and diplomacy; one must be a good reader of human nature, kind, considerate and just, yet firm as the rocks of Gibraltar. A man who can mingle with people in every walk of life and especially with the powers that be in order to secure appropriations for the much needed Marshall possesses, as in the cases of the loyal support given him by his officers and men, by the citizens of this great metropolis and by the executive of each and every administration. The new armory upon which construction will soon begin will be a fitting monument to the unselfish, untiring efforts of the greatest army officer of our race, Col. R. Mar- Athletics an Entering Wedge. In the athletic world whenever members of the race are given an opportunity they generally come away wearing champion medals. Perhaps the greatest of present day athletes is Howard P. Drew, who has twice won the national 100-yard championship. Irving T. Howe of Boston ran away with the 200-yard champion at Harvard University has two great athletes in Theodore Cable, who has twice won the intercollegiate hammer-throwing title and is capable of doing 23 feet in the broad jump, and A. L. Jackson, who won points for the crimson in the hurdle races this spring, and is considered one of the best hurdlers in the country. In the baseball field we have many men who play the leagues, but prejudice keeps them out of the race. These athletes make high averages also in their studies and where they can deliver the goods for the universities or schools to which they belong little prejudice is exhibited. All of these achievements by the student body of our race makes the path but smoother for the next fellow; contact means everything, and as the future depends upon the coming season, we attack towards the darker brother, our best efforts should always be put forth, whether it be in the school room or on the athletic field. We have set a pace for ourselves and the world that we must keep up. N. A. A. C. B. Fighting for There is no sane man or woman who is not willing to admit that nothing material can be accomplished except by organization. What organization will do is demonstrated daily in hundreds of ways, on a single pair of shoes, or garments, on everything to eat, to wear and to use; perhaps dozens of hands have been pressed into. It has been said and doubtless truly so, in the past, that we lack confidence in each other, that all wanted to be leaders and we were more destructive than constructive. We must plead partly guilty to the charge and earnestly work with the morance. Today the reaction has set in, organization is one thing uppermind in the minds of thinking people, people who can forget self for the time being and work heart and hand for the good of all. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is an organization of joy, earnestly influential men and women of both races with a unity of purpose that is so well known that comment here is unnecessary. On August 10, at 3 p. m., at Olivet Baptist Church, with the help of the St. Claude Literary Society, the second of a series of meetings in Chicago will be held, and the program is especially enticing. Opening remarks by W. R. Huff, barbone solo by Mr. Willem Murray, address by Hon. Robert Mc Murdy, duet by Mrs. Blaunch Stroud and Mrs. Nelle Gregg, address by Dr. Charles E. Bentley, followed by remarks by the pastor, Rev. E. J. Fisher. The ever increasing race prejudice that is manifesting itself in many ways in this city should be incentive enough to join and aid in the work of the church that is making such a successful and determined fight for justice and fair play. That the church will be filled to overflowing there is little doubt. THE EDITOR'S MAIL Dear Editor of Defender: Your good paper is promptly at hand every Monday morning. I do truly and heartily admire your effort to lift our people and place them on a higher plane before the world. For God's sake, get it into the mother's mind to keep her darling girl off the streets at night when not properly attended. At present, I have as my house guest Ms. Etta Terry, one of the leading teachers of the public schools of Nashville, Tenn. I miss Merry Terry a woman of sterling qualities. Mrs. J. H. Lewis, 77 Bedford St. Battle Creek, Mich Pocono Lake Preserve, Pocono Lake Pa, July 24, 1913. Dear Mr. Abbott: I have just sent to Miss J. E. Davis, who is now at Hampton, a clipping from your paper, telling about the formation of a Hampton association. Personally, I wish to congratulate you and your co-workers for your initiative and vision in forming an association which will do a great deal, I am sure, to give white and colored people of Chicago a better idea of Hampton institutions as a training station for efficient leaders, not only in country life, but also in the more difficult field of the city where competition is so exceedingly keen and where all but the strongest must be more or less submerged. You will have plenty of interesting work to do. To Hampton graduates and former students, north and south, the best white people are constantly turning, I know, for suggestions as to the best methods of solving difficult and perplexing racial problems. The wholesome sanity and common sense of many a Hampton man or woman have often relieved at some critical moment a situation which demanded quick and effective action. Through your excellent paper you have done much already to tell the people of Chicago the story of General Armstrong's pioneer and lasting educational work at Hampton Institute which is not for red men and black men, but which is for all men who wish to develop character through work and true Christianity applied to every phase of daily life.

If there is a fly-breeding manure pile in your vicinity and the owner will not remove it, send in a complaint to the Department of Health and it will be given attention. During these summer days when the country is more than beautiful and inviting, city dwellers should manage some way to take an occasional day's outing in the woods and fields. There are many of the trolley cars that will take you far beyond the city limits for a 10-cent fare. So pack your lunch basket and take the children and all take a trolley ride. You may come home tired, but the kind of weariness that comes from a day spent under sun and sky is the kind that will make you sleep good collections of a day spent in close mumentation with birds and trees and flowers and in breathing the clean, fresh country air. Besides, the little ones, a day amid such surroundings is worth a whole week in school in the new and instructive lessons they will get from the greatest of all teachers. Nature. So, we say, try the trolley for your day's outing. Of course, on Sundays and holidays the cars are nearly always badly crowded and traveling for women and children under such conditions is not at all pleasant or enjoyable. But on week days the cars are not likely to be crowded and the outing on such days can be made without discomfort of any kind. And that's why we say again, try the trolley. Then for those who cannot possibly go to the country, even for a day on the trolley cars, there are the city parks. Chicago has many beautiful and spacious parks, anyone of which can accommodate thousands every day. Our city parks are splendid and the ones we are about to visit of God's country brought right into the city for the benefit of those who dwell in sections where air, sun and elbow room are hard to get. It is a good plan to visit the parks in the foremenon; in fact, as early in the day as possible; for then they are almost deserted and there is plenty of room for the children to play and have a good time generally. Of course, the trolley rides and city parks is the importance of getting out of doors as often as you can. The month of August is usually a hard month on babies. Of course, bad food and wrong feeding have a great deal to do with causing sickness among the babies. It is most important then that the baby's milk be clean, fresh and pure. It is scarcely less important, too, that along with good milk and proper feeding that babies have plenty of good air and exercise. By exercise we mean the kind that babies like to take when they are loosely and lightly dressed and given a chance to lie and kick on the floor or under the limbs sort of freedom and exercise helps to make them grow strong and vigorous. So don't keep the little ones swathed in long clothes and confined to the crib or baby carriages all the time. Make a pallet on the floor and let them have the ease and freedom that they enjoy and that will keep them good-natured and well. It is a good plan, too, to take the babies out of doors, being careful not to expose them to the direct rays of the sun. Sense of Smell as Aid to Diagnosis- Get the Bathing Habit, Dr. Robert E. Coughlin of New York in writing for the New York Medical Journal in the issue of July 19, 1913, claims that he can diagnose or tell the disease that one is suffering from and also race or nationality in which the disease is found by the odor of the person. Some of us, most of us, are agreed that certain races or nationalities, have an odor peculiar to themselves, but, that you can tell the nationality or race and the disease that an individual has by the odor coming from that individual, without seeing the individual, is questionable. We believe that girls and women have a finer sense of odor than men and boys. We doubt whether female children have more acute sense of smell than male infants. We believe that habit cultivation has more to do with the sense of smell than sex or age. Dr. Coughlin also claims that red haired women and men with dark skin have a peculiar odor which is different from that of men and women with other color of hair; and that old people have an odor of dried leaves. While we do not agree with all that he has said regarding the odor of people, we do, however, know that the Jew, Italian, Irish, the poor white man and the rich white man and the Negro often have about them a very peculiar and offensive odor. We know that some people, black and white, have the odor of a billy goat and wet dogs, but I do not think this is due so much to race or nationality as to occupation and lack of cleanliness. Occupational Odors. Cooks, painters, painters, creamers, doctors, nurses, and an odor peculiar to their work, trade or profession. I am certain that the butch, or in the killing department at the stockyards' will not smell as pleasing as the clerk in the candy shop or perfume shop. It is my opinion that cancer or abscess of the appendix or pus in the chest will give as foul an odor in the resident on Lakeshore Drive or Michigan boulevard as in a resident on Armour avenue or Dearborn street, provided the personal sanitary conditions are the same. It may be that that some Negroes have a peculiar odor, so that one might be able to tell him in the dark or with eyes closed from anyone else, or it may not be true, but it is true, passing true, that some of us need an introduction to soap and water, and that some of us need to renew our acquaintance more often with these articles of cleanliness. Get the habit of bathing. You may use hot or cold water, but just get the regular habit. If you get the regular daily habit of bathing, using plenty of water and soap, you will enjoy it, you will find plenty of time to do it, feel refreshed and have a better opinion of yourself. Hot bath is better for cleaning purpose, also for quieting one's nerves. It is restful and soothing it taken just before, or before or before the usual time for the after-school meal. A cold bath is better taken in the morning before breakfast, an hour before leaving the house. A full tub bath should not be taken on a full stomach. It is always best to bathe head, face and neck with cold water before taking the full plunge. During this hot season bathe twice a day. It will not be too often. Take a good full bath, using plenty of soap and hot water at night, then a cold sponge, plunge or shower bath, in the morning, to remove the sweat and hot water at night, completed during the night, completing the bathing act with a good vigorous rub with a rough towel. Don't use much sweet-scented powders and perfumes as they often produce a very unpleasant odor mixed with the odor emanating from the body. You can use ivory soap or auditorium bathing soap, as none better is on the market. LITTLE STORIES OF SUCCESS NO. 2. Mike Kager (Special to The Chicago Boiler) Tuskegee, Al., August 2—Have you ever been to Boley? If you have not you have, of course, heard of this prosperous town out in Oklahoma. It has some three thousand inhabitants, all Negroes. This is an up-to-date town. It has banks, first class dry goods stores, drug stores, groceries, cotton gins, steam laundries, bottling works, paved walkways, electric lights and a telephone system. It is on the main line of a railroad. The ticket agent, telegraph operator and other persons connected with the business of the railroad in Boley are colored. It has been often said that no considerable number of Negroes could live together without bothering to stuff their business. Boley is the refutation of this slender. It is the universal testimony of the time traveling salesman that Boley is one of the most orderly towns in Oklahoma. In fact the town has no need for constables and police officers. One of the reasons why Boley is such an orderly, prosperous town is because of the high character of the people who have settled there. Caughey W. Roberts, the subject of this sketch, is a fine example of the class of people who are making Boley famous and demonstrating to the people who can bind a prosperous and orderly community. Roberts runs the leading bakery in the town. He is up to date in the conducting of his business and is one of the most progressive business men in that progressive town. The net profits from his business amount to from $1,200 to $1,600 annually. In addition to what he makes of business, he is also actively engaged in church and Sunday school work and in other activities which make for the moral uplift of the community. Roberts attributes much of his success to the hustling spirit of work and of thoroughness which he acquired while a student at Tuskegee Institute. In doing what he can for the general improvement of the community, he says is only carrying out the "Tuskegee Jubilee Valdosta, Ga., but after his graduation in 1860 he followed Horace Geely's advice and went West to grow up with the country. Although he has been in business but a few years he has accumulated considerable property in Boley, Taft, Clearview and other Oklahoma towns. The success of Roberts in the bakery business is an example of what can be done along this line in all parts of the South. In this field Negroes have an opportunity much greater than they had in the field of catering twenty to fifty years ago in northern cities. As long as there are people in the world just so long must they be fed. There will always be a demand for bakeries. In the South they must be fed to be a greater demand than ever for them. Here is the opportunity for him who will take advantage of it. Caughey W.

NowThird Edition The Great Narrative of the Year "The Conquest" BY A NEGRO PIONEER In these chapters (as told by himself) is the story of a young sleeping car porter who was discontented; that is, he possessed energy and a desire to become more than just "George." To have a part in American progress, or to be "a cog in the wheel," was the big idea. "Go west, young man, and grow up with the country" was the final ultimatum. What followed this advent makes up the story of unusual interest. A thrilling tale of homestead development and town building with a strong human interest and a strange outcome to a love affair. It is truly a story of conquest. Des Moines Register and Leader—"An unpretentious narrative and should prove an inspiration to young men, both white and black." Western Laborer—"A revelation."

The Woodruff Press, Publishers LINCOLN NEBRASKA (Third of a series of articles written expressly for The Chicago Dealer. In the article last week the week of March 14 have been read instead of four.) By Elder W. D. Forde. In the article of last week it was clearly proved from historical evidence that the Hamitic branch of the human family has preserved and passed on to succeeding races in the development of civilization, and of that branch the Egyptians were foremost. But they were not single in performing this mission, for the sons of Cush, the Ethiopians, whose territory approximately that of the Egyptians, shared in performing this mission. The history of the two nations is very similar, so much that in many cases it is difficult to separate the one from the other. Much that was true of Egypt was equally true of Ethiopia. If much of the history of Ethiopia had not been unfortunately lost, the world would probably be appalled at the illustrious deeds performed by this once great people. Nevertheless, we have sufficient handed down to us that reveals the fact that this race was renowned for skill and learning and possessed a high type of civilization when as yet the nations of Western Europe were either unknown or in a state of barbarism. The modern Ethiopian or Negro can look back upon the aged past with the satisfaction that in a direct way he has witnessed the nations of the earth those dignified, social, and civic qualities which assist in making nations great. From the pen of Goodrich we receive the following excerpt: "Ethiopa presents a subject peculiarly embarrassing and unsatisfactory. Its mighty monuments, now surrounded by deserts, and many of them buried in the encircling sands assures us that here was the seat of powerful monarchies and a great population, in the remotest ages. Oriental his well as tradition furnish us with all kinds of these. But after every degree of improvement impossible to make out any connected narrative of the size, progress, and fall of the empires which anciently flourished here. It appears that besides other less civilized states, there were two kingdoms famous for their control over the caravan trade of Africa, and, in connection with this commerce, for their extensive influence in moulding the religious rites of Eastern Africa and even Egypt. These two kingdoms were Meroe and its offshoot. Adul is the port of Axemus of the Axemus in ivory. Axume, the capital, still exists, and contains remarkable antiquities. Among these there is in the great square an obelisk eight feet high, beside forty others of less size. Some of the ruins at this place are believed by the inhabitants to be as old as the time of Abraham. * * * Meroe whose capital was the same name, comprised the peninsular region between the Astapus and Astaboras, now called the Blue Nile Tile, was the elaphus of the center of the ancient Egypt as the center of the listing pyramids surpass, those of Egypt in architectural beauty—History of All Nations, Goodrich, Vol. 1, p. 106. Hereen adds his testimony in the following language: "In the earliest traditions of nearly all the more civilized nations of antiquity the name of this distant people (the Ethiopians) is found. The annals of the Egyptian priests were full of them; the nations of inner Asia, on the Eurasian coast, and in the fiction of the Ethiopians with their own traditions of the conquest and wars of their heroes; and at a period equally remote they glimmer in Greek Mythology. When the Greeks carefully knew Italy and Sicily by name the Ethiopians were celebrated in the verses of their poets; they spoke of their the remotest nation the most just of men; the favorites of gods and heroes Historical Research Vol. 1, 1983. Volney is fearlessly liberal in his compliment to the Negro, in setting forth the historic truth relative to his true place in history. Says he: "How we are astonished when we reflect that to the race of Negroes, at present our slaves and the objects Institute. If he had not learned a trade he might now, instead of having a business notting him from $1,200 to $1,500 a year, he a day laborer-earning only three or four hundred dollars a year. the contempt, we owe our arts, science and even the very use of speech."—"Witchcraft," I, Chap. III. How profoundly the historic evidences concur in giving the Negro his rightful place in history among the nations, how inspiring to the Negro should these historical evidences be, revealing the eternal fact that his present progress is not, therefore, an evolutionary state, but a resumptive condition. From "Baldwin's Prehistoric Nations" we have an augmentation of the above facts. "The ruins of Thebes, that ancient and celebrated towns, these heaps of ruins, laved by the Nile, are all that remains of the cities that gave lustre to Ethiopia. We were there that a people since forgotten discovered the elements of science and a time when all other men were harbours and when a race now regarded as the refuge of society explored among the phenomena of nature those civil and religious systems which have since held mankind in awe. "That universal power of imagination, which we see enveloping and penetrating the primordial civilizations, came entirely from the ever increasing infusion of blood from the black race into that of the white." Again: "The Negro possesses, in a high degree, the faculty of emotion from the sciences without which art is not possible." "It will be said that I am placing a beautiful crown upon the deformed head of the Negro, and doing him a great honor by thus associating him with the harmonious choir of the Muses. But the honor is not so great. I have not associated him with the highest, though the superior is superior to passion. And finally, I am able to indispensable to the development of the genius genus in a race."—De Gobineau's Work, Book II, Chap. VII—Baldwin's Prehistoric Nations, p. 319. We now pass down through the decades and centuries of time and the world behold this once illustrious race held in uninwild bondage. A half century has winged its flight in the onward path of time since the bugle note of emancipation blew its clear blast. Within this short period of time the race has made remarkable progress, having accumulated millions, real estate, built up banks, schools and colleges, also churches. Ability ministers of the gospel have been produced, physicians, lawyers, educators, poets, artisans of every type, teachers, unique progress has aroused and their neighbors of the opposite hand. The solution to this unparalleled progress is that it is a state of racial evolution as a result of the Negro's contact with Western civilization. But the historic evidences quoted above, along with the scores which cannot be quoted for a lack of space, prove this theory to be both unreasonable and unphilosophical. The historic facts concerning the Negro prove that he is not evolving from a state of barbarism into that of civilization, but to the contrary, he is resuming a condition which characterized him when the present nations of Europe were barbarous; like a backslider who fell from grace, the Negro fell from his high position among the other races. He is simply now returning like a prodigal child; climbing up from whence he fell. It is the Caucasian that is evolving, improving upon the things passed on to Ethiopia. Were it not for the unity and confidence on the part of the Negro today, his progress would be twice as great, and his influence tenfold what it is. Let the Negro learn the indispensable necessity of unity, confidence, and co-operation, and many of his present problems will vanish like the smoke before the north wind. Origin of Two Old Savings "Going to the dogs" comes from the east, where dogs are scavengers of the streets, and become so fond as to be unit to touch; while the expression "Tell it to the marines" used to show disbelief in the truth of a story, arose from the fact that when the marines first went about they were naturally rather "green" concerning nautical affairs, and someone who related a very tall yarn was told to "tell it to the marines," the idea being that they could be more easily guttled. --- Pellagra Due to Flint In Water Pellagia Due to Flint in Water. Professors Seala and Alessandrino of the University of Rome have announced the discovery that pellagia contains the iron that forms the trichs, which contains colloidal solutions of flint.

However, It Caused Mrs, Carrick to See Things in a New Light, and There Was an End of Worrying. = Bveryehing in the Carricka’ apart- ment was beautifully clean, for young Mrs, Carrick was a careful housekeep- @r and she found her greatest pride and pleasure in her sparkling glass, spotless curtafns and speckless floors. ‘Tom Carrick submitted to his wife's rules of order with smiling good na- ture and when a.pair of slippers on the top of his chiffonter or the scat- tered pages of a newspaper on .the parlor floor proved bim a transgressor he received her general rebukes with @ comical display of penitence that quite disarmed her, according to the ‘Youth's Companion. It was with genuine joy that Mrs. Carrick prepared a room for her fa- ther when the breaking up of his old bome made ft necessary for him to come to live with her. She lay awake at night planning little comforts for him, but the labor she put into the ar- ‘Tangement of these conveniences was ‘a6 nothing compared with her efforts to, make him use and enjoy thom. ‘Father, why don't you hang your coat on one of your hangers?” she asked one day, whey, she found bie Sunday coat suspendéd by the collar from a hook, “I bad these hangers Put in your closet so that you could Keep your clothes nice.” “That was real thoughtful of you, but you know, Maggie, I never was much of @ hand for fussing about my clothes.” “Don’t you like that shaving stand, father? T not{ce you never use tt.” "Yes, it’s a real clever contrivance, but I've always boen used to hooking my Httle hand glass on the window sill and hacking away.” He laughed ag he displayed a small cut in his cheek and then sighed. “Your mother said long ago that I ought to go to a barber to be shaved, but I'm no hand for {unovations, Magefo.” Matters became worse rather than better, and it required all Mrs. Car tlek's loving patience not to be cross When she found neckties and collars scattered about the dressing caso, in- stead of Delng laid away in the holders She had made for them or the shoe dlacking brush on the top of the wash- stand, instead of In Its proper place be- neath, There came a time when she felt she could no longer suffer her. fa- tber’s untidiness in silence and sho went to her husband almost tearfully. “I don’t know what to say to fa- ther,” she-said, “He keeps evorything in bls room fn a dreadful muss, but 1 ean stand that, for 1 gb in often and put things to right, but 1 don't know what to do about tho rug." “Tho rug?" repeated Carrick. “Yes, you know, Tom, he has an ointment for the rheumatism in his ankles and ho rubs It on so carelessly that that nico big rug in his room is getting simply covered with ‘grease spots. I just don’t know what to do about It” “Well, Margaret, 17 tell you what we'll do.” Carrick assumed the ait of 2 conspirator and lowered hile volce to a whisper, “We won't ever breathe ‘4 word about it to him and we'll stand the rug as long as we can and when we can't endure the greaso spots any longer, we'll buy him a now rug.” -— Margaret’s voice was a little un steady. “Tom,” she sald, “you make ‘me ashamed.” Unlimited Absorption. The capacity of the United States for the absorption of objects of virtu would seem to be unlimited. The val- ue of American imports of this char- acter Increases yearly by leaps and bounds. The latest figures for 1912 show an increase of 60 per cent. upon those for 1911. In 1910 objects of art of the value of $22,000,000 were tm- ported. The figures for 1911 are $36,- 000,000. The distribution of the amount among the various European countries is instructive. First comes France, from which America takes $17,000,000 worth; next England, with $15,000,000. There is a drop of over $13,000,000 to the $1,254,088 of Ger- many. The efficacy of the stringent Italian regulations {s shown by the fact that only $740,592 worth comes from Haly—or not quite so much as comes from Canada. The imports of modern works of art into the United States in 1912 only reached the com- paratively insignificant total of $1, 042,036, 35 per cent. less than the cor responding fgureg for the previous year. ‘apiece ice a ‘Wood, under the chemistry of time and the elements of nature, has often turned to stone, but st does not often turn into precious stones, as in the de- posits of the Western paris of the United States.
