Therefore, it must not surprise the public if their sympathy should turn to any nation who would give them better justice than what they are receiving today. It was the Black Regiment of France that gave France her possessions in Africa. The Black Regiment of Germany that gave her possessions in Africa. The Black Regiment of England that gave her power in the equatorial climate. It was the Black Man who climbed San Juan hill when the heat broke the white man down in his march. It is the Black Man that we depend upon to help us out in Mexico and all land which is now in dispute "in equatorial regions." If we lose this part of our nation, it may be the totering of our governmental walls. I will close now. For further information, you may write me at 3519 South State street. The book, "New Freedom," will tell what tongue may not be permitted to speak. Watch The Chicago Defender for more pictures. --- carless, NEST CHAMPION of the People By Jonah. In my tour of the Southern states, speaking before large audiences of colored people, churches, colleges and other assemblies. I have been able to feel the pulse of the colored people of the South, and to my surprise, when I mentioned the name of Japan, there was—and in many cases colored men were a larger part of the audience—a great demonstration. As I journey North I find the antipathy against our flag to equal that of the South. The pictures that you see in The Chicago Defender are but a few of the many pictures that I have in my possession which show you that thousands are cheering my message. In the city of Indianapolis, where I spoke for three days, nearly three thousand assembled and signed the petition which is published in this paper. The question may arise, Why is this sudden outbreak of colored sentiment spontaneously arising? I will answer that question thoroughly if you will read my publication in the book known as "New Freedom," which I am putting in the hands of the public at the publisher's price—ten cents per copy. The reason I proceed at such a low price is that the public may get hold of the facts and understand the conditions of the South, for thousands are saying the book is a valuable one. The colored people of the South are only asking from us what we asked from King George the Third. It is "taxation with them without representation" and without justice. I have seen the Negro men working on the levee of the Mississippi and near the end of the month a dispute would arise with their contractors and they would be told to "heat it" down the line and the contractor would pocket from twenty-five to thirty days' pay of these poor men. On the convict farms and mines there are Negro men trapped by policemen on technical arrests serving from ten to thirty-six years in there and hire out by the state for thirty dollars ($30) per month and work from sunrise to sunset. I have seen the Negro farmer forced to sell his cotton at the white man's price. I have seen the white man plan to keep the Negro farmer in debt so that he would have him in slavery again. I have seen bloodhounds follow the man that would run away from his debts. I have seen the Negro pulled out of the car seat and when he went to ask for justice in the courts get a rebuke from the judge and the costs of the case. I have seen the white men take the better looking colored women, use them for their devilish purposes and their husbands. have no power of redress. Then again, I have seen another class of colored people who are the white man's tool. They make their money by smothering down these evils, withholding the facts of the true conditions from the public. I have seen white men hug the Negro farmer while he had his cotton and those same men to lynch the white man that would bring that Negro farmer Bible and true religion. It is the whiskey men, tobacco and cocaine agents that make it difficult for the broad minded Christians to mingle in a Negro district. White women found in a saloon will be arrested, but colored women are the bait used by the saloonkeeper to entice white men and the opposite color. These are a few statements of the man that I could give to astonish you of the injustice and the oppressive conditions under which the X Shows where ten Negroes have been lynched in the past two years and where a number have not been given to press, having been shot and killed by individuals.

CHICAGO, IL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1813. RACE'S FIRST NATIONAL BANK IN NEW YORK CITY FORMED Doors to Be Open in New York City on or About January 1, 1914, at 9 O'clock Sharp, All Eyes Looking at Clock and All Hands on Doorknob to Open Door on Day, Date and Hour—Attorney Rufus Lewis Perry to Be President. New York, Aug. 15.—The recent announcement that New York City is soon to have a banking institution devoted primarily to members of the Negro race has aroused widespread interest. The idea has been pronounced a good one, both in financial quarters and by the general public. It is believed that a representative element of New York citizenship, so numerous as the negro, will be greatly benefited through the establishment of a bank that will cater particularly to the requirements of its special clientele. In fact, there can be little question of the economic value of such an enterprise with the evidence of many successful Italian, Hebrew and German banks now in operation throughout the city. Neither do these institutions have a tendency to segregate their patrons as a race, the fact being that there are so many diverse nationalities in the metropolis that the organization of these semiracial banks is a hopeful sign. It encourages the more ignorant to become depositors of a reliable institution and enjoy the facilities attached thereto, while the better element naturally rallies around the cornerstone of racial achievement. Lastly, these banks visualize the measure of success achieved by the different races of the city and are accepted as a criterion of their worth as citizens. The new Negro bank is to be located in Brooklyn, and will begin business about January 1, 1914. Neither a title nor the scene of its location has yet been chosen, but it is expected that both of these details will soon be disposed of. The main fact is the bank is assured, and its sponsors are enthusiastic as regards the outlook, having already received many assurances of support. The charter to be applied for will bring the institution under the supervision of the state banking department either as a trust company or as a state bank, with a capital of not less than $100,000. The moving spirit in this enterprise is a familiar figure in New York's legal world, being none other than Rufus L. Perry, long identified with civic affairs and always an active worker in the interests of the Negro. His record of achievements in this regard lend emphasis to the prediction that the new bank will be a complete success. He brings to the promotion of the undertaking a thorough equipment in the way of practical experience and possesses that larger factor of broad mental horizon, which many years since brought him prominently forward as a counselor. If rumor is to be believed in this respect, Mr. Perry will be the first president of New York's first Negro bank, and, in that event, will have its future destinies under his immediate supervision. The career of this possible new addition to the group of New York bank presidents is both unusual and replete with interest. He was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., May 26, 1872, the son of Rufus Lewis and Charlotte Handy Perry. The elder Perry was a Baptist minister and enjoyed some distinction as a scholar and a student. He was a master of Sanskrit and the author of a work known by the name of "Cushite," which sought to prove that the original man was a Negro and that the Egyptians derived from this source. His family was well worked out and has been accepted as one of the possible avenues for tracing man's early origin. NEITHER PHYSICALLY NOR SPIRITUALLY DEAD Mrs. Hattie Edwards-Pryor wishes to state that the report of her death while visiting at her home in Columbus, O. is certainly not true, but wishes her mourning friends to know that she did die spiritually, having been beautifully converted while there, and 's just now beginning to live.

Hampton Trustee for Twenty Years or More Died at His Summer Home —Great Friend of Race—The Ogden Party Which Each Year Pilgrimaged South to the Various Summer Schools Proved a Bigger Friend-Maker Than All the Magazine Articles. Kennebunkport, Me., Aug. 15.—Robt. C. Ogden, the former business partner of John Wanamaker, head of the General Education Board, close associate of the late Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong and trustee of Tuskegee Institute, died Aug. 6 at his summer residence here. Mr. Ogden was a veteran of the Civil war as a member of the 23d regiment of the New York National Guard, a member of the Legion of Honor and in politics a Republican. Mr. Ogden has perhaps done more, personally, for education in the South than any other Northern man of the last generation. HON. T. G. NUTTER MAY BE SELECTED. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Baltimore, Md., Aug. 15.—T. Gillis Nutter, grand esteemed leading knight of the World Benevolent and Protective Order of the World, is being urged by his many friends to enter the race for grand exalted ruler at the next grand sitting at Atlantic City. This appeal has come practically from every section of the country and is being made by the members of the order who have its best interest at heart. Mr. Nutter is one of the leading members of the order and has worked incessantly for the uplift and progress of Elkdom. His voice has ever been raised in defense of the order and he has permitted no opportunity to pass to help unite the different elements of the order into a solid phalanx. YOUNG PHYSICIAN OF RACE GIVEN GOOD POSITION Dr. Earle Williams of Brooklyn, Ill., has recently been appointed assistant county physician in this prosperous little town. Dr. Williams is a graduate of Meharry Medical School and has been successful ever since he finished several years ago.

Christian, a prominent Kalamazoo citizen, visited our city this week. Although his trip was a business one, Mr. Christian succeeded in calling on a number of his friends. The Defender considered the call a treat as Mr. Christian is one whom we would term a booster for race progress and advancement. Mr. Nathan Lane returned home a few days ago after having made a delightful visit of two weeks to his sister and friends at Nerosa, Mo.

(Special to The Chicago Defender.) New York, Aug. 15.—A news article dated at Columbus, O., July 19, and published in The Sunday Sun of July 20, is interesting to one who has the cause of the triumph of true democracy at heart. The state auditor in his monthly news letter on state finances expressed surprise that in white colleges money is the basis of aristocracy, and that poor white students are ostracized and debarred from fraternal societies and social circles, whereas in Wilberforce University, an institution devoted exclusively to the training of colored students, true democracy predominates. One wishes that it could truthfully be said that the spirit of true democracy predominated all institutions for the special and exclusive training of colored students; but unfortunately this is not true. It is to be hoped that the day will come when true democracy will be found in all American institutions of learning, as the state auditor of Ohio found it in Wilberforce, the colored university at Xenia, O. $45,000 PAID FOR RACE RIOT Merchants and Property-Holding Citizens Are Being Relieved on Their Funds to Pay for the Sins of Our Fathers; Illinois Is the Only State That Has Paid Relatives for the Death of Their Kin Fell at the Hands of Artistocracy of Color In some of the leading colored institutions in the South the spirit of aristocracy of "color" predominates, and black students are often denied many privileges granted to students whose complexion in some cases does not distinguish them from white people. I wish to emphasize the fact that there are all shades of "color" among people of African blood and descent. But the lighter the skin the more advantages and privileges are granted in some institutions for the training of colored students in the South. Aristocracy of "color" among colored people is by no means confined to the schools. It is rampant outside the schools, and is fostered by some of the most prominent leaders of the colored race. Documentary evidence can be produced to show that during Col. Roosevelt's and Mr. Taft's administrations at the White House, Dr. Booker T. Washington dictated federal appointments of colored men. National records fall to show where Dr. Washington ever indorsed a real black man for a federal job. All of his indorsements were given to very light colored men, or men of light brown skin. Impeaches Tuskegee. No real black man holds a high position in Dr. Washington's school, Tuskegee. Tuskegee is not as democratic as Hampton institute. Major Moten, a very black man, who travels in the financial interest of Hampton, is highly respected by the principal, a white man, and all the white authorities of Hampton. Black boys at Hampton are more ambitious than black boys at Tuskegee, because they think, as Major Moten, a black man, has been elevated to a high place, they may some day rise to some place of honor. Wilberforce Clean. Wilberforce University is democratic because it was founded by black men who drew out of the white church and went for themselves, and who believed in their own power and ability. Wilberforce has always been controlled by black men of the African Methodist Episcopal church, which is the freest institution for colored people in the United States. The atmosphere about Wilberforce is free. Bishops and ministers of the African Methodist Episcopal church manage and control the institution and dictate the policy absolutely. The most independent and democratic colored men in the United States today are Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church. They are supported entirely by colored people and don't have to beg rich white people for money with which to buy bread and butter. Our Leaders Slaves. The recognized leaders of the colored races today are not free and cannot teach freedom and democracy to their people because they have to beg for money to carry on the institutions with which they are connected. No man can fight with one hand and beg with the other. na Charta AMOUNT OF BLOOD IN WEINS GIVES ING IN RACE SOCIETY of Brown University of Provie South—Tells Experience from Race Must Have Certain Percent Rise in Social World—If Charges er Would Ask Leaders to Call a ly 20.

Springfield, Ill., Aug. 15.—The city of Springfield Aug. 7 began the payment of approximately $45,000 in judgments, costs and interest growing out of claims resulting from the race riots of August, 1908, to meet which the citizens recently voted a bond issue of $45,000. Comptroller Clapp disposed of fifty-five of the eighty judgments obtained in the Circuit Court, disbursing $32,000. The remainder of the claims will be taken up tomorrow, as well as approximately $2,000 of judgments in the County Court, obtained on personal property loss claims. The largest settlement made today was with Harry T. Loper, a former restaurant proprietor, whose judgment of $7,750, with interest and costs, totaled $8,259.20. BUCHANAN IS BETTER. Noted College President Convalescing at His Home After a Three Months' Illness. Normal, Ala., Aug. 15—The many friends of Normal will be glad to learn that President Walter S. Buchanan, of the A. and M. College, is satisfactorily convalescent after a sudden and serious attack of peritonitis. It will be several weeks, however, before he will be able to resume the numerous duties of his office. In the meantime, the official work is being attended to through his able secretary and other teachers who are on the grounds for the summer. Plans are complete for the opening of school in October. NEGRO SEGREGATION DECLARED VALID Maryland Court Holds Action Would Be Constitutional. Baltimore, Md., Aug. 15.—The Maryland court of appeals, in a preliminary opinion, holds "that the mayor and city council of Baltimore may, in the exercise of their police powers, validly pass an ordinance for the segregation of the white and colored races without conflicting with the provisions of the constitution of the United States or the state of Maryland." The opinion, however, declares invalid on technical grounds an ordinance approved by the mayor in 1811. An ordinance will be drawn up to meet the legal exactions.

KILLING COLORED MEN BECOME GREW- SOME TO PAPER So Many People Killed on Streets of Memphis and in the State of Tennessee That It Taxes the Garbage Departments of City and State Each Morning to Their Utmost Capacity to Haul Dead Bodies, That the Memphis Appeal (White) Set Up a Howl to the Fiends to Stop in a Recent Editorial, which Reads as Follows: The killing of Negroes by white people in order to fatten an average ought to be stopped, and killing Negroes just because one is in a bad humor ought also to be stopped. Two apparently inoffensive Negroes, good farm hands, real wealth producers, were assassinated near Germantown a few days ago. The Negroes had furnished no possible motive for the deed. So far as anyone knows they were quiet and orderly, as country people of their class usually are. They worked and played and loafed, just like other country Negroes. Now, the Negro is about the only dependable tiller of the soil in these parts. Competition for existence is not keen enough to force many white people into the harder work. The Negro also is very useful as a distributor of money. About all he gets goes through his fingers. Commercially, then, he is a very valuable asset. It is not good business to kill them. When the Negro enters into the contest with the white man he is already at a disadvantage, and therefore the truly brave white man never seeks a quarrel with Negroes. He knows that the Negro is at a disadvantage, and he does not desire to take advantage of him. Furthermore, the white man of courage can most always control the Negro without being compelled to resort to violence—The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn., July 29. CABARET AUTO PARTY. Visitors Entertained in a Novel Way. It is left for Chicago boys to invent novel ways for entertaining the visitors who yearly honor us with their presence. Last Wednesday a party composed of the Misses Grace Gordon and Josephine Brown, of St. Louis, Bertha Baumman of Boston and Elenora Curtis of Washington, D. C., and Mr. Alfred Anderson were the guests of Mr. Cary B. Lewis. Accompanying the party in the large automobile was a musical trio who when they had reached the suburbs entertained with vocal and instrumental music. They also furnished the music when the party stopped at a Lake Shore tea room to be served. A circle of the park' system brought the enjoyable afternoon to a close. They will doubtless go back to their respective cities with a favorable impression of Chicago and its citizens. The car of Mr. John Carter was used with an experienced chauffeur. G. S. GORDEN GOES EAST Oakland, Cal., Aug. 15.—Mr. G. S. Gorden, a native son, left here August 10th on an extended trip to attend the Elks' convention in Atlantic City, N. J. While he will visit all the principal cities, he will also attend the Knights Templar conclave in Denver and return home about the last of September. Mr. Gorden is proprietor of the Oakleaf Cafe of this city. MR. RILEY MARRIED? Mr. Riley, 330S Indiana avenue, left the city last week quietly to visit in Minnesota. It was learned there is a certain pansy blossom he hopes to bring back as a bride. Mr. Riley is associated with Mr. Jesse Binga in the banking and real estate business. MRS. ROBERT A. JACK SON'S MOTHER DIES. Richmond, Va., Aug. 15—Mrs. Margaret Hamilton, mother of Mrs. R. A. Jackson, of Chicago, died here on Wednesday night.

Corner 30th and Dearborn Sts. The pastor delivered a very forceful sermon from St. Luke 17:5. At the evening hour Rev. Smith of the Illinois Conference preached. A series of conventions are being held at Bethel this week. The Sunday school was well attended Sunday. The Allen C. E. hold three meetings Sunday, one at the Old Folks' Home, one at the County Hospital, and their regular evening meeting at Bethel, which was well attended and all present enjoyed the talk by Miss Amelia McDonnell. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Rev. H. H. J. Callis, Pastor. Corner 38th and Dearborn Sts. Despite the inclemency of the weather the services at our church were well attended both morning and evening. The ten minute talk given by Rev. J. R. Riley, D. D., of Knoxville, Tenn., was especially helpful and highly appreciated. The sermon by the pastor was up to the standard. This new feature of our evening service, the short addresses preceding the sermons, is growing in popularity. Our Sunday school, which convenes at 1:15 p. m., deserves more appreciation from the fathers and mothers of the church. The superintendent, Mr. C. J. Jackson, is putting forward every effort to bring the school up along all lines. Our Christian Endeavor is doing a splendid work. It meets at 6 p. m. Our services for Sunday will be as usual. The Union Methodist outing at Glenwood Park was a splendid success. Four hundred people attended the outing and everybody reported a pleasant time. Mr. William Rhodes of Chicago and Miss Lucille Pullins were quietly married on the 10th inst. at the home of Mrs. Osa Hayes, 3656 State street. Mrs. C. J. Jackson, our organist, is convalescent. Mr. H. Arthur Callis is in the employ of the American Bible Society and is in a position to supply Bibles at prices much below the average. Mr. Callis worked for the society in Philadelphia. ST. LUKE'S M. E. CHURCH. 558 35th St.-Rev. Edwin R. Lewis, Pastor. The literary was addressed on last Thursday evening by Mr. B. H. Callis; subject. "The Negro and Public Opinion." Those present enjoyed his talk very much. Our literary will hereafter meet on Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. You are invited to visit us. The good ship St. Luke arrived in port Friday night and landed at the parsonage pier loaded with all the good things of life. It was a great gathering, showing the appreciation of love of the membership of St. Luke's M. E. Church for their pastor, Dr. Edward R. Lewis and wife. We pray that they may be spared to come often, and love of pastor and people may become stronger each day. ST. MARY'S A. M. E. CHURCH. 5251 Dearborn St. Rev. Jas. Higgins, .Pactor. The presiding elder, T. Reeves, preached to a large congregation last Sunday morning and evening. At 3 o'clock Dr. W. D. Cook of Quinn Chapel preached the sacramental sermon to a large congregation. The pastor will preach Sunday. Rev. Mrs. Della Carey will preach Wednesday evening, at which time the evangelists will hold their union prayer meeting. QUINN CHAPEL NOTES. Despite the severe storm of last Sunday Quinn Chapel seemed to have been the shrine for hundreds of devout worshipers. The Rev. R. A. Adams, evangelist, filled the pulpit during the day and delivered two excellent sermons, in addition to a most practical lecture in the afternoon. The pastor, Dr. Cook, gave way to the "Progressive Club" and permitted the ladies of the club to make choice of the preacher who should serve them in the interest of their rally, and they selected Rev. Adams, who did excellent service. There were several conversions and accessions to the church during the day. The services were highly spiritual and as a natural sequence the financial efforts which followed the sermons were pleasing to all concerned. Dr. Cook is asking each and every member and friend of "Mother Quinn" to pay the conference dollar money this Sunday if possible and many will do it. Only a few more weeks and the annual conference will meet in Evanston. Quinn is determined that her pastor shall make a good report to the conference. The band concert given on Tuesday night was a most enjoyable affair and the ladies displayed wonderful ability in handling the various instruments. We only regret that the attendance was not larger. Mr. George W. Thompson of Chicago and Mrs. Alice Davis of Chicago were united in matrimony at Quinn Chapel parsonage Tuesday, July 29, by Dr. Cook. Mr. Hannibal B. Black of Chicago and Mrs. Estelle Williams of Chicago were married Sunday, August 10, at the Wellington apartments, Dr. W. D. Cook officiating. Memorial services in memory of Miss Jessie Smith and Mrs. Elizabeth will take place Sunday, August 24 4 p. m. in Quinn Chapel, under the direction of Prof. Edward Morris, the organist and choir master, assisted by united choirs of the city. Brief addresses by Messrs. J. W. Fisher, Albert George and Julius Avendorph. Special music for organ, plano and vocal. Officer Lee, who departed this life Tuesday, August 12, will be buried from Quinn Chapel Sunday at 1:45 p. m. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH. Sunday morning service, 10:45 a. m. m. Sunday school, 1:15 p. m. Intermediate C. E., 6 p. m. Senior C. E., 7 p. m. Evening service, 8 p. m. Remarkable has been the success and progress at St. John's thus far this conference year. But there still remains a most important duty, which every member and true friend is requested to perform, and that is the paying of dollar money and assisting in the raising of other important claims to be reported at the annual conference. Up to this time all efforts were directed toward the raising of a fund to pay on the $1,600 indebtedness of the church. Now that almost, if not half of this debt has been wiped out, it is quite evident that each member and friend by reason of the great joy which was theirs upon hearing the final report of the rally and its great help to the church, will in these last days of preparation for the conference rally together and supply their able and enthusiastic leader with a sufficiency of means. Dr. Wilson puts his whole soul and mind into his work and one who departs from any service at St. John's is sure to feel inspired. Each auxiliary is progressing nicely, the choir rendering special music each Sunday. CLUBS AND SOCIETIE The Billiken Needle & Hoop Club met Thursday, Aug. 7, at the residence of Mrs. Hattie Hadnott, 32229 Vernon avenue.

The Phyllis Wheatley Woman's Club extend their heartfelt thanks to their many friends who helped to make the joint picnic Aug. 2 a financial success. The social evening at the Phyllis Wheatley Home Tuesday evening, Aug. 5, was a very enjoyable affair. One would have to go far to find a pretty bunch of girls or a more gallant set of young men. All expressed the highest appreciation of the Home, which means so much to so many of our girls struggling to make their way through school and in other avenues of life who come to this great city to earn money to defray expenses during the winter months. The regular meeting of the Club was held at the residence of Mrs. Jessie Johnson, 3025 Vernon avenue, Wednesday, Aug. 6. After the regular routine of business was finished an interesting program was rendered by the visitors present.

Coles, New Mexico, Aug. 15.-Mr. Fon Holly, popular cartoonist for The Chicago Defender, passed through our town recently, en route to the Raton mountains to spend his vacation. The location that he has selected to pitch his tent is the most picturesque on the mountains, being 8,000 feet above sea level. He will spend the most of his time hunting mountain lions, bears, and fishing for mountain trout. He is thirty miles from a railroad, but will receive his mail by pony delivery every other day. When Mr. Holly arrived here he immediately donned a native cowboy suit, which was very becoming. He is to pass through the town the first of September en route to his home in Chicago. WANTED TO KNOW THE WHERE-ABOUTS OF MISSING BROTHER. Hotel Buenos Aires, Esquina AV. 5 De Mayo y Motolinia, Mexico, D. F., July 14. Dear Editor of The Chicago Defender: A friend in this city has acquainted me of having seen an ad in your paper of one Mr. Daville, who was offering his services to teach Spanish. Presuming him to be my brother, whom I have not seen or heard from in many years, I take this means, of asking you the favor of putting me in communication with him. Thanking you in advance for all interest that you might take in the matter, I beg to remain, yours very gratefully, Louis Daville. The above letter was received at this office this week, and we published it as an effort to locate Mr. Daville, as it has been four months since he advertised with us and since that time has changed his address. However, he is very well known in this city and some of his friends may be able to give the desired information, should he not read it himself.

THE DEFENDER AUTO DELIVERY So great has been the demand for the Defender at the various news stands the management of the Defender was forced to put auto service into play, in order that the railroad men who are leaving the city on a 9 or 8-day trip may be able to get our paper early Saturday morning or Friday night. In our next issue we are in hopes of giving our readers and friends a cut showing our auto driver and the 90-h. p. machine that we use for our service. Look for the big machine with two boys on either side on running board, who make their delivery as fast as the daily paper boys. The Defender has the distinction of having the only auto delivery in America, service furnished by Russell Bros. You should subscribe for the wide-awake paper, the only one of its kind in all the Americas. The doll is who is certainly crazy about "married men?" M.

Early Thursday evening, Aug. 9, the Stork Limited stopped at Station A, 3322 Vernon avenue, and delivered a fine boy to Mr. and Mrs. Echols. Mother and baby are convalescing nicely, father is smiling and smoking in the characteristic way, and Grandfather Johnson—well, in short, he is just so happy he is quite beside himself, for he begun at 4 a. m., Friday morning, to apprise friends of the new arrival, in order that he might get through by 7 a. m., the hour for his downtown duties, and although he has proceeded to take up where he left off each day, and, although Little Master Eckolis is almost a week old, grandfather is "still informing." Another stop of the limited was at Station W, 4522 Evans avenue, and there a fine boy was delivered to Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Williams. Mother and baby are doing nicely, and father is on the verge of bankruptcy, having spent so much for treats for friends, all to the health of the newcomer. Meeting Led by Jonah Over the the Treasury Jim Crow Laws. --- [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Washington, D. C., August 19—Dr. George Cleveland Hall, the widely known physician and surgeon of Chicago, addressed an overflowing audience of men last Sunday afternoon at the 12th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. and delivered an address that will stand out as one of the very best to which the association has listened since its organization. Dr. Hall's theme was "Successful Life," and for more than an hour he developed the thought that the life that counted for most in the world was a career built upon the foundation of Christian principles, backed by the spirit of helpfulness to humanity and a desire to translate into practical service the gifts of mind, muscle and heart conferred by the Master. He emphasized the value of the Y. M. C. A. as of the country in pushing forward this work, and commended in the highest tern the results that the men of Washington had wrought in placing within the reach of the young people of the capital the newly-appointed $100,000 building, seen by him for the first time. The unselfish labors of Secretary Louis E. Johnson were especially praised, as competent leadership means so much, even when followers are earnest and energetic. Dr. Hall told of the $200,000 structure the Chicagoans had reared up and dedicated to the uplift of the colored men of that community. Dr. Hall was able to speak of this splendid work, as he is the chairman of the governing board of the Chicago Y. M. C. A. and was foremost in securing from Mr. Rosenwald and others the nucleus of funds that made the erection of the mammoth building possible. The speaker is also surgeon-in-chief of the famous Provident Hospital in Chicago, one of the best equipped institutions of its kind in the country, and his many successful operations in major surgery have earned for him an international reputation. He has been called to all parts of the country to perform operations of the most difficult character, co-operating with the best white surgeons of the land, and in all cases he has met with phenomenal success. His expert clinics have been notable features of the annual meetings of the National Medical Association. At the Y. M. C. A. Sunday Dr. Hall was introduced in happy fashion by Dr. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, Mr. Louis E. Johnson presided. Others who lauded the cause represented by the speaker of the day and added to the enthusiasm of the occasion were Dr. A. M. Curtis, Judge Robert H. Torrell, Dr. C. W. Childs, Dr. G. W. Cabaniss, Hon J. C. Napier, Mr. Jas. A. Cobb and Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson. Dr. Hall is the guest of Dr. A. M. Curtis and is spending the week with the latter and his family at their summer camp at Arundel-on-the-Bay. The eloquent Chicagoan will take in the Philadelphia meeting of the National Negro Business League and its affiliated bodies and will then go on to Nashville to attend the sessions of the National Medical Association. REGISTER NAPIER STILL AT HIS DESK: Hon. J. C. Nanler is still discharging the duties of Register of the Treasury, although his resignation is in the hands of the president, subject to the qualification of his successor. The nomination of Attorney A. E. Patterson of Oklahoma was withdrawn, at the request of Mr. Patterson, and now the name of Mr. Gabe. E. Parker of the same state has gone to the Senate for confirmation as register. Mr. Parker is said to be a full-blooded Indian, of the Choctaw tribe. Like Mr. Patterson, he was sponsored by Senator Gore of Oklahoma. WANTED—INFORMATION CONCERNING COLORED INVENTORS. Mr. Henry E. Baker, an expert examiner in the office of the United States Patent Office, has been detailed by the government to obtain information concerning patents to colored inventors, in compliance 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 among the fifty years following the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. The exhibit is to be held in Philadelphia, Pa., in September of this year. A general letter has been sent out, signed by E. B. Moore, commissioner of patents, asking the aid of the citizens, newspapers, and everybody in possession of the facts, to send to the Patent Office, in a franked envelope, the names of any colored inventors they may know, together with the date of the grant, title of invention and patent number, so that a list absolutely correct can be prepared for the Philadelphia exhibit. The filled-out blanks will be turned over to Mr. Baker for tabulation as rapidly as they come into the Patent Office. Mr. Baker is in receipt of a large number already, but it is his belief that many more patents have been issued to colored inventors than appear in the records he has thus far obtained, and it is his desire that any persons who know of other grants shall feel free to write him at once, giving him the data required. As a refutation of those who have contended that "the Negro has never invented anything except lies," it is important that a full and complete exhibit of the Negro's practical inventive genius be made at the Philadelphia Semi-Continental Emancipation Exposition in September. Patent attorneys can be especially helpful in this work. HYDE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD SET- TLEMENT. The student teachers of the U. of C. will render a program at the H. P. N. Settlement Monday evening, Sept. 8. This meeting has become an annual affair and serves to inspire the youth of this city. C. E. SCOTT. Winston's Spicy Gossip of Men and Events in the Railroad World. By John R. Winston. The writer's attention has been called to the fact regarding the entertainment and music at the new North Western Cafe, 4546 State street, by Mr. Thomas Whoton, who claims that this cafe is sadly in need of entertainers. He claims that "Snoopy" have not got any parts of it. In order to get the public no doubt but what Mr. P. D. Campbell will put on some high class vaudeville and it is "Snoopy" move and those alley rat sisters and coffee and roll dudes. Mr. E. L. Booker, 3350 Wabash avenue, the Chicago fashion plate Pullman porter, has engaged box 27 at the baseball park for Sunday. Well, I guess the automobile won't bump up. Mr. John W. Hightower, 37 West 45th place, is still on the same job as usher at the Illinois Central station 12th street and Park Row. The Hazel Hurst Railroad Men's Club should get in line and subscribe to The Chicago Defender. President Daniel F. Carter and P. D. Campbell are lying very still here of late. The railroad men want to hear something through The Chicago Defender as to your charter from Springfield. Mr. H. Tuck, 5239 Wabash avenue, is in Pullman service to St. Louis, Mc., over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois out of the Polk street station. Our old friend, Mr. Spencer Watts, the old ex-railroad man, is still doing business as a tailor and pressing and cleaning at 12th street and Indiana avenue. Mr. Watts is an all around man and spent 20 years in Pullman service. Men, take your uniforms to Mr. Watts. Nearly every colored railroad man in Chicago reads The Chicago Defender and there are a great many of them who are good timers who go around where music and songs are put on. Why don't you ask the owner why don't he advertise in The Chicago Defender? There are not ten colored business places in the belt that spend 10 cents towards placing their business before the public. WILL THE RAILROAD MEN HELP? The Defender would like every railroad man who runs into Chicago to stop by its office and get 25 or 50 papers that he may give to his friends in other cities where, he runs in order that the people may see what we are trying to do in Chicago. Help build your home town paper and make it the greatest in the west. We have lots of back numbers that would be of use to those who are not near our big cities. Will you take some out to them? HON. WALTER S. THE TRUE REFORMERS. The lawn party and barbecue given under the auspices of Rosebud 590 at 38th street and Wabash avenue, on Tuesday night, was a marked success. The delegates are being elected in the subordinate fountains who will represent Chicago Division in the Grand Fountain September 23-25, in Richmond, Va. Chief M. T. Bailey visited Morgan Park, Lake Forest and Evanston during the week and instructed the subordinate fountains relative to the annual meeting in Richmond, Va., and also beseeched each and every member to attend the public meeting at the Mt. Zion Baptist church in Evanston, on Monday evening, Aug. 25, and at the First Baptist church in Lake Forest, Ill., on Tuesday evening, Aug. 26, at which time Mr. Floyd Ross, of Richmond, Va., and other representatives of the Grand Fountain are expected to be present, Mrs. W. W. Daniels of Atlanta, Ga., one of the leading catereses among the race, as well as a representative of the Grand Fountain, is spending a few days in the city en route to Colorado Springs, where she will spend several weeks. While in the city Mrs. Daniels spent some time in conference with Chief M. T. Bailey and other representatives of the Grand Fountain, and expressed great hope for the organization in the southland. Miss Charlotte E. Roberts, of Waban, Mass., one of the leading True Reformers of Chicago. Dj.ion, has spent several weeks visiting her summer home with Mr. and Mrs. George Anderson at Roscommon, Mich. While there, she was highly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, as well as by several white families in that community. Miss Roberts left for her eastern home on Wednesday evening, Aug. 13. Mrs. Fannie Ross, of Rogers Park, also a member of Chicago Leading Light Fountain, has spent several weeks at Roscommon with Miss Roberts and Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. They are delighted with the location they have selected for the future. She has returned to Chicago. Slander.

She came to the city some two years ago. He wined her and dined her and went to the show; Then back in a taxi to her house they flew (From a ten-dollar William he had left but two). She came to the city some two weeks ago. He took her to see a five-cent movie show. And bought her some peanuts—they had a good time (From a twenty-five cent piece he had left a dime). Now, wouldn't you feel cheap to be arrested by a woman "cop"? Well, the folks from home are here; put an extra chicken in the pot. It's a hard thing for the home boys to lay away any money for a rainy day as long as the town is full of visitors. Speaking about the weather of last Saturday--99 in the shade--made a trip to West Michigan resort took very inviting. The man who said the world had gone baseball crazy evidently got mixed up with the crowds at the American Giants' ball park. If there is anything derogatory to the race that the Chicago Tribune doesn't make capital of it is because it has not been brought to their attention. Blaming the weather man if it rains on the day you were to give your picnic is a good way of letting off surplus steam without doing any particular injury to anybody. President Wilson's silence regarding the all-absorbing question is becoming oppressive. Can it he be is leaving such trifles to such estimable gentlemen as Blease and Vardaman? We are certainly a popular people, "September Morr" created such a stir that we had to get in on it, and now the art dealers are displaying "September Night," and the young lady is very shady. We feel sure that the Eighth Regi- ment band will make as big a hit in New York City as the Tuskegee band did in Chicago. There are a great many leaders, but few that compare with Sergt. William Berry. The white merchants on the "Stroll" find it pays to advertise the fact that they employ colored help. It is no more than right, as the colored people are their support. They know what side their bread it buttered on. As Bert Williams would say, "This is a fast, fast world," and we were quick to realize that a horse and wagon delivery was far too slow for The Defender customers, hence our new auto. Watch for it every Friday night. It will bring you the best race paper ever published. PRAISE FOR THE DEFENDER Benton Harbor, Mich., Aug. 15. Dear Editor of The Chicago Defender: Will you please forward my paper? I have left the city for a two months' vacation at my summer home. I consider The Defender one of the best and most interesting papers of the race and, therefore, could not afford to be without it.—Respectfully yours, Priscilla Shoemaker. Ralph W. Tyler has a little way about him of speaking right out in meetin' and calling a spade a spade. The situation in Washington is becoming very grave, and unless a concerted effort of the sober-minded is put forth to stop the indignities that are being heaped upon us we will be as bad off as we were before the war. From a long-distance point of view it would seem that the government is fast becoming the tool of such rascals as Blease and Vardaman, a fine commentary of Democracy. AN EX-PRESIDENT OF THE U. S. AND REAL ESTATE. Ex-President Grover Cleveland said, "No investment on earth is so safe, so sure, so certain to enrich its owner as realty. I always advise my friends to place their savings in realty. There is no such savings bank anywhere." Are you a real estate owner? Read Bartlett's ad on the last page; tells how to start. Dr. Booker T. Washington has hit upon the plan of advertising every lynching that occurs as the most effective weapon of stopping it. During the three months, April, May and June, mobs in the South murdered about three dozen colored men, and remarkable to say only one of the number was accused of their old hobby, committing a crime against a white woman. In that God-forsaken land they need no excuse for crimes they commit; they have no fear of the law, for they are the law. But let us constantly hold them up to the world and perhaps shame will finally overtake them. It is said the orthodoxy of the Baptists of the South today was due principally to the fact that nearly all the white Baptist preachers had been raised by "black mammies," who had less trouble in believing the supernatural than did the white race, with its more analytical mind, due, of course, to ages of learning. There is no question but what the mammies influenced not only the Baptists, but even other denomination. When they "came through" they came through right and got all the religion that was in sight. There remains in the breasts of many who apparently are antagonistic to the race a warm spot for the black mammies of yester years. DR. WILLIAMS' WORK APPRECH ATED. The Chicago Defender is doing a very commendable thing in engaging the services of Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams to write on health topics and answer questions relating to medical science. The old maxim, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of curc, can easily be realized in his articles and should be read carefully by every reader of The Defender. The Defender has subjected discussion in the papers more vital and of more interest to the welfare of the public than the preservation of health. To this end Dr. Williams, through the columns of The Defender, is devoting his time and talent. POLICE HONORS. We should like to know what influenced the Civil Service Commission when they awarded the Harrison and Tree medals for doing the bravest act in the police department in 1912. We are told Officer James M. McDermott captured an armed Negro murderer hiding under a house. If our memory serves us rightly, this "terrible" desperado was as weak as a kitten when captured and appealed to the officer not to shoot. Perhaps if such vailant, brave and fearless guardians of the peace as "Big Six," "Deacon" Jones, Officers Scott, Jackson and Price had been scrutinized and might add in passing not colored—deeds more praise worthy could be discovered than the mere arrest of a poor, half-frightened wretch under a house pleading for mercy. We have some Civil Service Commission, eh? CONTEMPTIBLE CURS It is extremely painful to chronicle to what depths some of the members or our race will stoop to incur the good will of their employers. A case that recently came to our notice is but one of many. A young lady employed downtown had been in the habit of taking her lunch at a certain cafeteria on Wabash avenue and experiencing no trouble, doubtless due to the fact that she was able to "pass." Now comes the villain on the scene in the shape of a colored elevator man. While attending to other people's business was not among his duties, yet he found time to slip into this cafeteria and inform the cashier that they were serving a colored woman. This contemptible, cringing traitor who never was imbued with one lofty thought or one speck of manhood has no business in a city like Chicago; he should be in the backwoods of Mississippi pickling. It is men, or rather mongrels of his lik, that have made the progress of the race so difficult, and this paper stands ready to hold them up to the light, that the finger of scorn may be pointed at them. Is it not enough that we should have enemies outside of our camp? BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS State street, especially between 29th and 30th, is becoming the Mecca of thugs and holdup men. They go in twos and threes, ride on the back platform of the cars, usually late in the evening, and pick the pockets of the crowds as they wait to pay their fares. A stop can and must be put to these thefts. It is not hard to detect these rascals, as they are hold and brazen, and plain clothes men would have no trouble in picking them up. It is a disgrace for the police force for such robberies to take place in such a congested thoroughfare. State street in the past has had none too savvy a name, and we are ashamed to admit that the lower element of our race are responsible for it. A committee on men have been told to wait. Chief McWeeny and have this nuisance abated. They will also urge that the colored policemen who at one time kept the bystanders moving at the cross corners should be instructed to keep up the good work, and by so doing there will be no racial friction and fewer insults to respectable women offered. These robberies and misdeemers have occurred because of a lack of police protection which we believe could be easily remedied. MAJ. JOHN R. LYNCH, HISTORIAN. "The Facts About Reconstruction" is the title of a new book that will soon be from the press. The author, Maj. John R. Lynch, needs no introduction to the citizens of this country. He has been in public life since the birth of the Republican party, having represented the Sixth district of Mississippi in Congress. He has been honored with the positions of Auditor of the Treasury and paymaster of the U. S. Volunteers during the Spanish-American war. Since his retirement on account of age he has devoted his time to literary work and his forthcoming book should, with his vast fund of experience, political and otherwise, be one of the most remarkable contributions to the literary world of today. It will be remembered that Maj. Lynch was elected temporary chairman of the Republican National convention held in this city in 1884, defeating Gen. Powell Clayton of Arkansas, who was the choice of the national committee. This signal honor to a member of our race did more to endear C. Roosevelt, who supervised the president's life. Judging by the proof sheets, the value of the book from a true historical point of view is worthy of a place in every library. When the book is out there remains nothing to be done but judicious advertising, for in this day and time the public soon forgets unless constantly reminded. Every encouragement should be extended members of our race who embark in the literary field. It is a big step forward, for from the pen of our own people we can expect the truth. SEGREGATING MAIL CLERKS. Senator Clapp of Minnesota is vigorously fighting the proposed order to segregate the white and colored mail clerks, and he puts it up to Postmaster General Burleson to explain the grounds on which a department order providing for such a separation was in contemplation. The Senator argues that the two races have been working together for the past fifty years amicably, and he sees no reason at this late day why they should be separated. It is the railway mail division where all the complaint is coming from. It is represented on long runs white railway mail clerks are often compelled to cat and sleep with colored clerks (think of it, and then think of some of the other things they voluntarily do in the glorious?) South, and you can begin to realize how consistent these parasites on decent society are. Very little complaint has come from employees in the post offices throughout the country, where perhaps ten times as many men are at work. Now that the Democrats are in power, there will be no limit to which they will not go to humiliate the race. President Wilson promised—but it matters not what he promised, it was before election—to be the President of all the people and to mete out justice as he saw it. Some of us are beginning to think his eyesight is failing him, or that the pupils only react to light or white things. If it will aid any in the cause, we will head with a substantial sum a list of donors to purchase our President a pair of colored glasses, so he may see things in their true light. Right-Handed Plants That there are right-handed plants and left-handed plants has been reported to the Cambridge (England) Philosophical society by R. H. Compton. In an examination of eight varieties of two-rowed barley the first leaf was found to twist to the left in 58 per cent of more than 12,000 seedlings, and an excess of left-handed growth was found also in millet and in oats. In corn there seemed to be no marked tendency either way. No evidence of hereditary peculiarity appears to have been obtained and no special significance of the results is pointed out. In a Pinch. The old fashioned idea of a good pinch hitter was a man who could clean up a cotton patch with a weeding hoe before the rain came—Dallas News. Heaven as a State of Mind. The kingdom of heaven is not a place, but a state of mind.—John Burroughs.

No Cases will be Diagnosed and No Prescriptions will be Given in This Column. By Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams. Clean Ice Box. One of the most useful articles in any well regulated household is a good clean ice box or refrigerator or food chamber, as it is sometimes used. A. Good Ice Box. It is very difficult to name the best ice box on the market, as there are many good ones. Some like the automatic, others like other makes, but any good ice box or refrigerator must possess certain qualities. It must maintain a temperature below 55 degrees when there is plenty of ice in the box, with the box placed in the kitchen in any ordinary location. The box must possess good insulating qualities, and must be waterproof. To give a cleanly appearance, the inside box should be white, with adjustable shelves, which are very desirable and easily cleaned. Weekly Cleaning. The ice box should be thoroughly cleaned once a week, and a good housewife will look over her ice box every day. To clean an ice box, remove the drain board, and often scald the drain board, and clean well with borax, allowing it to cool before replacing it. Never allow the drain pipe to become clogged with jelly, sour milk and other filth that gathers in it. Often run a wire through the drain pipe and don't keep stale food in the ice box, as it will give the ice box a bitter odor and cause food to mould and become unhealthy, and those who eat it are subjected to poison. Many cases of diarrhea, colic, and stomach disturbances are caused by the consumption of musty, sour and mouldy food which is kept in a dirty ice box. Clean Ice. Never put dirty ice in your ice box. Always wash your ice off before putting it in the box, and always before using it in your water or ice tea. Purchase small ice blanket. They are found in the department stores, and will prove very useful. It is better to purchase ice. In large quantities such as 50 or 100 pounds gotten at once will keep it in better condition than buying it in smaller quantities such as 10, 15 or 20 pounds at a time. Never allow the ice to get too low in your ice box. Food is not so apt to spoil where the temperature of the ice box is kept at a regular point as where a fluctuating temperature—for instance, one time at a temperature of 60 or 75 degrees and then another time at 55 or 60 degrees. The drain pan under the box should be emptied every morning. Only careless and open housewives will allow the drain pan use, and wet the floor. Use place of box in Dutch cleaning powder and clean the box side and out once every week. Get the habit of keeping the box properly closed. I have seen housewives permit the box to stand open from the time they start to prepare a meal until it is placed on the table and caten, and they are ready to place the butter, milk and other things back into the ice box. Leaving it open, disturbs the temperature of the ice box and causes you to use more ice. Diagnosis of T. B. Q. Mrs. C. writes: "I have great fear of tuberculosis. I am tired of mornings, although I go to bed early. My appetite is poor and I am losing weight. I have lost ten pounds in ten months. I have a very little cough. Do you think that I have consumption? What would you advise?" A. You have some of the most common and reliable symptoms of consumption. Any one of these symptoms should be considered as suspicious signs. Cough is very often absent in the early stages of the disease. Then too, cough may be due to many other things such as heart and stomach troubles. No, I cannot say that you have consumption, based upon information just given, but you have need of being very careful. My advice is, first, that you seek a good physician and have a careful examination made of your chest, sputum, and have the tuberculin test made. Get a good reliable thermometer and take your temperature for two weeks at regular, definite intervals—say, at the hours of 8 and 12 o'clock in the morning and at 4 and 8 o'clock in the evening. If your temperature is 97 or 98% in the morning and from 99 to 100 late in the afternoon and early evening—in the absence of anything else, would say that your condition is dangerous and you had better consult your physician immediately. FROM DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. Good Neighbors. It is a fundamental principle of community life that no one should be permitted to keep or maintain his premises in a manner that will work harm to his neighbors. Nothing is more true than the fact that bed neighbors make a bad neighborhood, and even one bad neighbor in a community can do it a great deal of harm. People who are interested in their neighborhood are not, as a rule, those who do the things that harm their neighbors. Of course, when it comes to property matters, every man is interested in things that are likely to affect his property—this is right and proper, but it takes more than property to make a good neighborhood. There are many things that people may do that work harm to their neighborhood, and which, if persisted in, may react so as to affect property values, and, generally these things are those that have to do with human health and comfort. The selfish or thoughtless mother who allows the child, that has a suspicious sore throat, to play with her neighbors' children, is doing something that may lead to terrible consequences. The best neighborhood is that where the people composing it are neighbors in the broadest meaning of the word. This means that they are kindly and thoughtful of each other's interests; that no person will knowingly do anything that would injure his neighbors. Of course, a community of this kind would be ideal, but that is what men and women are working for in these days, the highest and best ideals of community life. This means that right thinking people want all those conditions that make for community beauty, safety and comfort. The only trouble is that in nearly every neighborhood there are those who have not yet been brought to see the good that comes from earnest intelligence and well directed community work for community good. When people are better educated as to their civic duties and responsibilities, then we will have better community conditions. Here is an example of the kind of carelessness or thoughtlessness that works for neighborhood harm. A mother writes the Department of Health and complains of a neighbor woman whose child has the wheoping cough, and its mother takes it to public gatherings and thus exposes her neighbors' children to the disease. Now, the mother complained against not only violated the spirit of neighborly kindness and justice, but she violated the law that is made to protect people against the spread of the contagious or communicable disease; and had this same careless, indifferent mother possessed the educated civic conscience, her neighbor would not have found it necessary to complain to the health officials and to ask their help to protect her children from a disease that she feared and dreaded and very naturally did not want them to have. We should all help to spread the kind of knowledge that will enable people to make their neighborhoods better and safer places to live in. THE WASHINGTONS "WEEK-END" IN WASHINGTON. Dr. Booker T. Washington, accompanied by Mrs. Washington and their spent. Dr. Ernest Davidson Washington, spent the "week-end" very pleasantly here as guests of Register of the Treasury and Mrs. J. C. Napier at pictureque "Hillside Cottage," 2225 4th street northwest. The historic home of the Langtons, in the intellectual atmosphere of Howard University and amid a rare environment of culture and helpful activity, was a center of attraction during the stay of the distinguished visitors. Hundreds of callers paid their respects and Dr. Washington held a number of conferences with well known men on matters of national interest. Dr. Washington is deeply concerned with the problems that affect the District of Columbia, because of the immense colored population where welfare is to be considered, and the influence exerted upon the country at large by the condition that obtain here. The Tuskegee educator listened attentively to all that was told him by those in touch with the situation. On Sunday afternoon Dr. Washington and Mr. Napler addressed the congregation of the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church and received an ovation at the hands of the people, into whose midst they came unannounced and unexpected. Monday night Dr. Washington left for Buffalo, N. Y., to fill a speaking engagement, Mrs. Washington remaining in the vicinity for a few days. Dr. Washington is immensely pleased with the outlook for the Philadelphia meeting of the National Negro Burial League, August 20 to 23, and expects a record breaking attendance. Advance sheets of the National Negro Newspaper Directory have been received here and the comment upon the book is highly favorable. The volume, the first of its kind ever issued, is being prepared by Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., the energetic corresponding secretary of the National Negro Press Association. It will be circulated at the Philadelphia institution of the association on the 18th edition of its work. It will bring the people and the press into close communion by reason of the valuable information it gives to the world trucing the newspaper and its workings. Miss Mary Gee of Newport, Ky., is spending a fortnight here with her sister, Miss Lottie Gee, of the vaudeville team of King and Gee, who are filling engagements in the city. Miss Jennie Mason, a society belle from Jacksonville, Fla., is visiting her sister, Mrs. A. S. Johnson of 903 S street northwest. Miss Kate B.

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." Lincoln Daily Star-"A big story of Northwest development and love." Sioux City Tribune-"Does not bore you with so much rot about the race abuse and 'Negro problem' but is the problem of each and every individual."

Everybody and his brothers, sisters, cousins and aunts are preparing to put in the week of August 18 at Philadelphia. Along with the Business League, the men of the press, the undertakers, the bankers and the lawyers will hold their annual powwows. It will be an event of a lifetime. Don't miss meeting your friends in the Quaker City. Miss Carolyn Steward, daughter of Editor B. H. Steward of the American Baptist Louisville, Ky., is in the city, the guest of Editor and Mrs. Henry P. Slaughter of 2236 13th street northwest. Mr. Charles H. Marshall, one of the founders of the Boy Scout, is going some gilt-edge work as the Washington agent of the Baltimore Times. Send word to him at 1203 K street and get the Times as a regular visitor at your home. Mrs. Mary Church Terrill and daughters, Misses Phyllis and Mary, are at Arundel-on-the-Bay. Lawyer L. M. King is pushing the organization of the Malachites. He is grand supreme governor. He recently visited Panama and the Canal Zone in the interest of the organization, accompanied by Miss Henrielle Vinton Davis, grand supreme lieutenant-governor. Dr. S. S. Wormley has returned from a delightful season at Buckroe Beach, Virginia. Many pleasure seekers from the capital are making week-end trips to Harper's Ferry and stopping at W. W. Martin's admirably appointed "Mountain View Summer Resort," in connection with picturesque Storer College. The season runs until September 15. SECRETARY JOHNSON'S ACTIVITIES Mr. Louis E. Johnson, secretary of the 12th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., has been a busy man during the past few weeks. After celebrating the first anniversary of the dedication of the home association's new building, he attended a state Y. M. C. A. convention at Durham, N. C., then went to Chicago to witness the dedicatory ceremonies of the new Y. M. C. A. building there, followed by a visit to Indianapolis, Ind., for a like purpose. On both occasions Dr. Booker T. Washington was the orator of the day. He put in a week at Arundel-on-the-Bay with a school for the instruction of Y. M. C. A. secretaries, delivering a special address on the value of practical training for spiritual work. The Y. M. C. A. here is prospering beyond the expectation of its most optimistic friends and is the social and intellectual center of this community. Dr. G. W. Cabaniss, one of the district's whelchors for uplifting labors, has been elected chairman of the governing board of the Y. M. C. school, and fortunate in being able to secure so capable a man for this responsible post. MR. TRIGG "NOT THE MAN." Mr. Joseph M. Trigg, a writer of national note, desires it to be understood that he is not the Washington correspondent of the East Tennessee News, published at Knoxville, Penn. The Tennessee paper's alleged correspondent at the capital has been saying some pretty "raw" things about prominent people of this city and has gotten himself "in bad" all around. Mr. Trigg, who formerly contributed matter to the Knoxville sheet, several years ago, and now absolves himself from his responsibility for anything appearing in. Mr. Trigg has never been guilty of writing "rot," nor of maliciously misrepresenting individuals under the guise of furnishing "news." Evidently Ready for Him A gentleman who had been in town only three days, but who had been paying attention to a prominent belle, wanted to propose, but was afraid he would be thought too hasty. He delicately broached the subject as follows: "If I were to speak to you of marriage, after having only made your acquaintance three days ago, what would you say to me?" "Well, I should say never put off till tomorrow that which you should have done the day before yesterday." — Life.

MERELY A POPULAh Scholage Question Whether Was the "Forbidden Fruit Garden of Eden. Why and how it has happed to the apple has been spoken, of as fruit that was forbidden" in the Garden of Eden is one of the great priests of Biblical scholars. The fact that in Genesis 3, where the incipient of the eating of this fruit of the "Trir of Knowledge of Good and Evil" mentioned, no name whatever is given to the fruit. All that is said is: "An when the woman saw that the tree was good that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat" (verse 6). In fact, scholars doubt very seriously by whether it was the apple at all. They suggest that all evidence points to it having been the quince, fragrance of which was held in the highest esteem by the Orientals. Another point in favor of the quince is that it is the fruit which was sacred to Venus, the goddess of live, and in a great many of the ancient writings the quince is very frequently mentioned in this manner. In Babylonia ishtar took the place of Venus in the Roman mythology in which the goddess obeyed the story of the creation originated with the Babylonians. All evidence seems to point away from the apple having been the "Forbidden Fruit," and towards the quince as having been that fruit of the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil." OWNERSHIP OF LAND ACCESSOR The title of an owner of land to any accretions to the land was the question presented to the supreme court of appeals of Virginia in Eagerness Smith, in which interesting decisions on the point involved are cited. In the Virginia case the plaintiff insubstant for a consideration permitted a railroad company to deposit rock and earth on land owned by him during double-tracking work, under contract that all such material not removed before the work was completed should remain permanently. The owner executed a deed of trust of the land without serving the material so deposited, but on the day the property was sold under foreclosure of the trust deed he attempted to convey the material as personality to the complainant. The court found that the complainant had made no claim to the property until five years after its deposit, when it was overgrown with vegetation, and held that "the material was reality and not personal property, and passed to the purchaser on foreclosure of the trust deed." Dicker Marly Possible After Intr Dicker Hardy Possible After That. In the haymarket one afternoon a couple of farmers stopped to talk crops and horses. "Are you in the market for a good horse?" asked one. "Always ready to dicker," the other answered. "Ever see that little bay of mine? I think I know the critter. 'How'd you like to own her?' She's your son's dick-bottom price." Gathering up his paratory to leave the spot, the other farmer replied: "Well, John, I'd buy her this morning, but I hate to bust a dollar." Heady-Witted Maeeman: Some salesmen are equal to almost any emergency and do not spare the "other car" when occasion requires. "But the Blank car is guaranteed for life," protested a prospective purchaser to a salesman of the sort. "Yes, I know it is." retorted the quick-witted but our car is guaranteed for a whole year. It required several moments for the prospective purchaser to see the point. Sold Manufactured "Mummy." An imitation mummy, constructed mainly from the bones of a calf, was recently sold in Carro to a tourist from the United States as the remains of a palace diginary of the third Egyptian dynasty. The fraud was never detected and the native who made the sale was placed under arrest. Happiness. Those who have the most of happiness think the least about it.

Miss Berry Captures the Capital. ‘The stately “queen of song,” Miss Kittle Berry, bas been drawing packed houses nigitiy at Dudley's for the past week. Miss Berry is quite © favorite here, and the music- Tovers of the capital are turning out en masse to give her a reception be- fitting her merits as a singer of quality. Besides possessing a voice of wide range, of resonant timbre, combined with’ sweetness and dra- matic power, she is a woman of strike ing personality, gracious demeanor and rare social accomplishments. Richly.gowned and bearing herself as the true prima donna that she is, Miss Berry presents a stage pleture that pleases tho eye and leaves a lasting Impression upon all beholders. One of the evening gowns worn by her was a salmon pink charmeuse, made en train,.with all the modern effects, and attracted much attention at the hands of the fair sex. Others not less notable evoked flattering comment. Miss Berry's selections invarlaily abound ia tender sentiment and grati- fy the ear by her mellow intonation, intelligent interpretation and artistic shading. Her offeotive rondition of “My Cavalier" and “The Garden of My Heart" this week left nothing to be desired. She may be persuaded to fill other engagements here befare resuming her tour northward. She has been the guest of honor at a number of social functions by the “smart set.” with automobile rides and dinners galore. + It will be an Interesting surprise to Miss Berry's many Washington ad- mirers to know that sinco her last visit to the city she has become a bride, having been led to the altar last April at Jacksonville, Fla., by Mr. George B. Hamilton, a wealthy and influential business man of tnat Place. While Mfr. Hamilton is direct- vimg‘a large commercial enterprise in North Carolina this summer, Miss Berry (using. her familiar | stage name), yielded to the entreaties of a umber of theatrical friends to fll a limited season of “farewell engage- ments,” On account of continued f-health Mr. Frank Kearney has been com- pelled to retire from the management of the Fairyland Theater, one of the bestpaying stands in the city, and one in which colored performers have always been given a square deal.

That fish possess a certain power of reason is affirmed by many who have studied them. They often learn to recognize the voice of the one who feeds them. Fish will congregate in places where food is habitually thrown to them. If a morsel proves too large to be swallowed, they have been known to divide it on a sharp stone.—Harper's Weekly. LOOK! LOOK!!

Call Douglas 7298 THE ONE GREAT THING By GUY MARKHAM. "Ah, roses! and I love them so," and the girl lifted the great armful of fragrant and beautiful flowers and crushed them almost roughly to her swelling bosom. "Oh, why, why, cannot Will send me such things?" she whispered passionately to herself. "I like him so much better than any other man—yes, yes, indeed I fear I love him; but I cannot, no I cannot face life of 'love in a cottage' and know that I must always do without all the nice things of life." Then she smiled a wonderful smile—the smile which had made her the most sought after girl in her set; and she blushed a rosy little flush and whispered still more softly to herself: "But I'd rather live a year with Will in a cottage than a lifetime in a palace with any other man. Besides they say Will is bound to rise and all the men say he will some day be an ornament to the bar and—and all that sort of thing. Even papa approves of Will along with all the other men." Then she shivered a little shiver. "But mamma does not take any stock in Will," she thought soberly, "and mamma is the practical one in our family." The girl burled her face in the great bunch of roses—they cost the sender a cold twenty-five dollars—and looked up defiantly. "Well, why should I not marry Mr. Hadley?" she soliloquized. "He is a man who has demonstrated his ability and is not an offensive person in any way." Then, without apparent excuse she cried out, aloud: "Will never could have sent me these roses—and I love them, I love them, I love them." Then exercising her woman's pre-operative, she sat down and had a good cry. Then she arose, glanced at the bit of pasteboard which came with the roses and which bore only the words "Nell—from W. T. H. Wear them tomorrow night," and went to her dainty desk to acknowledge them. The note Hadley received at his office the next morning puzzled him not a little, but delighted him a great deal. He never had been able to pierce the reserve of the girl he desired so carnelty to marry, and being a keen judge of human nature he detected a warmer and more receptive ring to her words than there had been any others she ever had addressed to him. "Roses," he exclaimed in a puzzled way to himself. "There's a mistape somewhere, but inasmuch as it seems to have warmed her toward me I reckon the way is to say nothing." The incident so interested him that he lost all track of the market and made so many mistakes during the day that he came out a considerable loser—an unheard of thing for Walter Hadley. In the meantime the young man who had gone broke to send the roses to the fair Miss Nell, ate his heart away in disappointment at receiving no word of acknowledgment. Before night he had decided that there was no use trying any longer and had planned a campaign in the Klondike, where he would acquire a fortune or leave his bonus to bleach. Miserable as he was, however, he could not refrain from sliding into his evening /clothes; that night and attending the ball at the Price's, where he was assured to see the idol of his dreams and his despair. Hadley appeared at the ball early, easy and confident and proceeded immediately to take possession of Miss Nello Ross, whom he found as gracious as her note indicated. Hadley knew well how to avail himself of an opportunity and before he had talked to her five minutes she knew that the great question was to be asked and that her answer was to be demanded that night. And she knew what the answer was to be. She was vagely glad that Will was not there. It was about midnight, when, after walking through a quadrille with her Hadley decided that the propitious moment had come and turned to lead her to the conservatory. Pale and trembling with excitement, for she, too, saw the moment had arrived, she turned to take his arm. At this particular time Will Hunter, who had just come into the room, appeared before them in a state of more or less suppressed excitement. He had arrived late and with the instinct of love his eyes had rested at once upon the object of his devotion. With a start he observed that she wore the roses he had sent. "As you wear my colors I think I may claim a waltz," he said with easy assurance. And before Miss Nell fairly knew what was going she found herself swinging round and round in the clasp of a strong arm. "Did my roses bring any subtle message with them?" he whispered. "Your roses!" she repeated, puzzled. "Yes, I see you wear them," he replied in cestasy, "and I hope they conveyed all I meant them to." "You great goose," she said softly, looking up at him with swimming eye. "You know you could not afford to. Besides, don't you know any better than to sign initials when so many men have the same initials. You deserve—" "Let's go out on the veranda a moment and cool off," and Nell found herself whisked through the French windows onto the broad veranda overlooking the moonlit lawn; and of a sudden it came to her that it mattered not at all about an establishment and relations and position in society and flowers and all other inconsequential things so long as she had the one great thing in the world.

E. Pastor at Evanston, Ill.—Rev. Jones is Well Known in Chicago and Any Word Spoken by Him to a Chicago Audience Takes Deep Root. Peoria, Ill., Aug. 15.—Recently a link was taken from the chain of progressive young ministers of the African Methodist Episcopal church, by the death of Rev. Horace S. Graves. He was a young man of high ideals and noble ambition. I first met him fifteen years ago in the city of Chicago, at which time we formed a lasting friendship. As a friend, he was loyal to the core. No duty was too burdensome for him to perform, no sacrilege too great for him to make. The high esteem in which he was held by the members of his conference, was attested by his two elections to the coveted honor of a seat in the general conference. His studious character, linked with his gifted natural ability; his zeal for the success of the church, and keen observation of men and measures, brought him into prominence as an aspiring Connexional character. There is no doubt in my mind that he had been spared a few more years, his ambition to fill a general office would have been realized. When we met in Kansas City last May, his activity gave promise of many more years among us; but when in the spirit of happy anticipation for the future, he was marked for the grave. He is gone, but as a loving husband, an ideal pastor and churchman, he built a monument that will ever stand in the hearts and memories of those who knew him. When the news of his death was flashed over the Connection, the saying of Pericles was again fulfilled: "Not to those chambers where the mighty rest. Since their existence, some a saker Since their foundation, came a nobler guest; Nor e'er was to the bowers of bliss conveyed, A purer spirit or a falrer shade." MRS. VIRGINIA FLEMING IS ENTERTAINED. Mrs. Virginia Fleming, Washington, D. C., mother of Mrs. John J. Peterson, 6022 Aberdeen street, who has been spending two months with her daughter and who has been lavishly entertained by many friends, will leave the city Sunday morning for her home, accompanied by her granddaughter, little Miss Alma Minor. She will spend a week in Harrisburg, Pa., with relatives before going home. Mrs. Fleming was entertained by Mr. R. S. Abbott, editor of The Defender, with a motoring party through the Park links and the business section of the city. NEWS FROM SOMEWHERE. No Post Mark—Aug. 15. Messrs.

Tickling a shark in order to make the fish amenable to capture is a singular practice among the natives of the Island of Tahiti. A writer in the New York Sun, who watched the hazardous sport while seated in a canoe manned by two natives, thus describes it: Peering into the clear water, where you can see to a depth of five fathoms, you catch a gilmpse far down among the sea ferns and coral cups of the long, lithe tail of a shark, and of a huge pectoral fin that awses continually with a sidewise motion, and sends up little ripples to the surface. The native diver picks up a coll of cocoanut fiber with a silipnoose already tied in it, seizes a knife in his teeth and quietly slips into the water. It is done with wonderful skill. The native keeps close to the reef, and lets himself down through the water by means of the sea growths till he is right over the wavling tail. Slowly a black hand stretches out, and starting behind the pectoral fin, begins to stroke the sea tiger. There is a falt movement of the body, and the fin sways more rapidly. Again the hand moves forward, and as it strokes the fish the other hand leaves the slipknot hanging loosely near the spread of the tail. Then the native comes quietly to the surface, and the spectator breathes freely again. The sail is set, the steersman takes his place on the outrigger and the diver in the bow, with a yell of "Hulla!" pulls hard on the rope. On the occasion that I speak of the shark splashed about the wild frenzy for a moment or two, and then settled down to a tour of the lagoon. Twice he circled about, and the canoe plowed along, with the water bubbling and frothing at the bow, where the keeneyed native intently watched the tightening rope. Suddenly it slackened, and the diver went over the side like a flash, with knife in his hand. A minute later the surface of the water was a brilliant red, and the native was scrambling back into the canoe. We towed the shark to the beach and measured him. He was 16 feet long. Employer's Right to Discharge. Employer's Right to Discharge. The United States Court of Appeals, Sixth circuit, laid down rules governing a master's right to discharge an employee for misconduct in Carpenter Steel company vs. Norcross, a suit for breach of contract of employment. The court held it to be a sufficient defence that the employee was guilty of the misconduct charged, although such misconduct was not known to the employer at the time of the discharge, which was based upon other alleged acts by the employee. The court held that the servant owes the master the duty of faithfulness, whether expressed in the contract or not, and any conduct showing an unfaithful disposition is sufficient to justify a discharge. The acts proved were that plaintiff was manager of the defendant's branch warehouse, where high grade steel was sold to the automobile trade, and that in entertaining purchasing agents at the automobile show in New York he was guilty of excessive drinking and committed other acts of dissipation and made advances out of his deposit account to employees and customers. The court ruled that such acts did not constitute misconduct warranting his discharge as a matter of law, but raised a question of fact for the jury. London's First Charter The first charter of the city of London was granted by William I. in the year 1079. This document, written in Saxon on parchment, is still preserved and reads as follows: "William, the king, greeteth William, the bishop, and Godfrey, the portreeve, and all the burgesses within London friendly. And I acquaint you that I will that ye be all there law-worthy as ye were in King Edward's days. And I will that every child be his father's heir after his father's days. And I will not suffer that any man do you any wrong, God preserve us." The "portreeve" referred to was the chief officer of London, the name signifying chief governor of a harbor. Afterward the chief officer was cailed provost, and in the reign of Henry II. the Norman title of maître, soon afterward changed into mayor, was brought into use. The first London official to hold the title of mayor was Henry Fitz-Alwyn, who assumed the office in 1189, and continued to hold it 24 years. The prefix of "lord" was granted by Edward III in 1354. Will All Live Century? "If a man lives properly he can carry the spirit of youth to the end of his days. "I am on the way toward ninety, but I feel entirely young. The secret is simple. A man must submit himself to mental and physical discipline and eat wisely and not too well." Dr. Oldfield went on to give this set of rules for avoiding middle age: Think big thoughts and cling to noble ideals. Live on the fruits of the highest minds. Do not waste time over petty things and do not take narrow views. Eat fruits, vegetables, oils, eggs, butter and bread; drink pure wine and milk. Avoid shoddy, second-hand food of all kinds. Bathe every morning and rub the skin hard with a towel. Change underclothing every 24 hours. Know yourself. "Valet" Was Once Simply "Varlet" We have only ourselves, or, rather, our forefathers, to blame for the trouble about the pronunciation. "Valet." If they had stuck to "varlet" there would have been no difficulty. "Valet" and "varlet" are the same word, meaning, originally, just a boy, the diminutive of "vassal," a man. Unfortunately, when our ancestors applied a word meaning a boy to signify a servant, they went on to make it bear a scornful sense. And so "varlet" degenerated helplessly, just, as did "knave", which is simply the German "knabe" boy."—London Chronicle. ALONG THE NORTH SHORE AFFAIRS IN MILWAUKEE.

Writer In Woman's Magazine Goes In to the Question Somewhat Deeply and the Result Is in a Measure Surprising. What right does your husband possess in his home? Be honest! Has it ever occurred to you that he has any special rights? I think I know what will be your first reply—your snap judgment, a writer in the Mother's Magazine says. You will tell me that your husband is like most men and doesn't feel he has many rights, but that if there ever was a man who was master in his own house, he is the one. You will back up your statement by illustrations. You don't like pork and beans for supper Saturday night, but John does, and so you always have them. You would prefer polished floor and rugs in the front hall, but John insisted on a carpet; and you like a lamp in the library—a soft light is so 'becoming'—but you have to use an expensive burner, for John will have a bright light to read by! Well, that is a fair beginning. Is there anything else? While we are on material details, let me ask you a few more. I will be most complete. Has John a bureau or a chest or drawers of his own? If he shares one dresser with you, how many drawers has he and how many have you? Has he a clothes press or closet into which you never intrude? If there is one closet between you, what proportion falls to his lot and what to yours? Of course, your gowns take up more room than his coat and trousers, but does he own absolutely the section allotted to him, or have your best frocks a trick of straying over to his pegs and draping his Sunday suit? And if he ventures to protest, don't you consider him very unreasonable? Let us go a little further. You have said that the hall carpet and the Library lights are concessions to John's preference. Are there other like instances in the establishment? Does the paper in the parlor and the dining room and the pictures on the walls represent his preference, or the heavy draperles that exclude the light from his Sunday paper, or the delicate little reception chairs that are your pride? If so, he is an exception to the majority of men. "I wish we could ever have beefsteak and onions at home!" a man sighed to me a short time ago. "It may be vulgar, but it's my favorite dish, and when I want it I have to go to a restaurant. My wife tells me that onions make the house smell dreadfully!" So they do, but if that husband had his rights, don't you think that once in a while, on a stormy night, when there was no danger of company, a dish of beefsteak and onions might rejoice his palate? You may tell me all these are trifles and admit it, but the trifles are items which make or mar the comfort of a home. Pass them over and let us look at some of the less material but equally important rights of the husband and see if he is any better off there. Too Far Away. Senator Thomas Sterling of South Dakota remarked a few evening ago that it is a mistake to imagine that every person on earth has seen a moving-picture show, and cited a case to prove his contention. One day, according to the narrative of the senator, a farmer who didn't often get to town broke into the metropolis to lay in supplies and look over the city scenery. Along the main street he stacked up against a moving-picture show, and lured by the intensely dramatic show bills, he fished a nickel from his crop proceeds and bought a ticket. The only available seat was one in the rear. Apparently it didn't meet with his approval. "Say, mister," he remarked, going back to the box office, "hain't there no way you kin fix me up with a seat on her front row?" "Yes, I guess so," good-naturedly replied the ticket seller, "but you can see just as well from the rear." "Yaas, I know I kin," rejoined the agriculturist, "but you see I am a leetle bit deef."—Philadelphia Telegraph. Ortolans as Food. The ortolan, a bird smaller than our quail, an inhabitant of southern Europe in summer and of Africa in winter, is highly prized, especially among French epicures, for the delicate flavor of its flesh. These birds are netted alive, kept in a dark place and fed on millet, oats and other seeds until they become enormously fat, when they are killed for the table. This artificial fattening of the ortolan dates back to ancient days of Rome. A Parisian paper tells of a financier who invited four friends to a dinner at his country place and sent to Paris to a famous restaurateur to provide a feast for six persons. When the account was presented it footed up 1,200 francs; that is, $240. "Outrageous!" said the financier. "Monsieur," said the restaurateur, "you have had twenty ortolans at 25 francs each; that alone is 500 francs." This would be much like paying $5 each for well fattened English sparrows. There Are Names—and Names. What's in a name? Sometimes almost the entire alphabet, according to the long-distance operator at the Planktonk hotel. "The other day a man wanted to call up a friend in Chicago, and I asked him to give me the name and I would try to locate him by long distance. This is what he wrote down on the slip of paper: Peter Constavbipauloupolous, Chicago. It took me 15 minutes to translate the name to the Chicago operator." And still we wonder why the wires sometimes are crossed and telephone operators are always willing to consider an offer of marriage.—Milwaukee WI: onlin.

Next Saturday the champion Grace Sunday School baseball team will play the fast second U. P. team and the Doctors and Dentists will meet the Emergencies in a double header for the benefit of the Old Folks' home. Through the kindness of Mr. Schorling the American Giants' park has been donated for the occasion and a fine crowd is expected as many seats have been sold already. It is to be the hit of the season as a great society event. Also the proceeds are to be turned over to the Old Folks' home to help enlarge their present quarters which the medical men deem as too small. It is to be worth seeing also, for the Grace nine is the best of its kind in the country and is two time winner of the Cook County championship. The Doctors have been practicing for months. The Emergencies, under their leader, Mr. Avendorph, will try to prove themselves the better team. Dr. Plummer will lead the Doctors, playing in left field. Dr. Moze will catch, Dr. Smith, formerly of Rush, will be in center. Halfacre will start in the box. Dr. Trapp will be at third, Dr. Dailley will be on second, George Porter will quit mixing drugs to be at short. The Illinois grad is a wonder and many others will help. The game will start at two o'clock and the greatest ball manager in the world, Mr. Andrew (Rube) Foster will umpire. The business and fraternal men are to be in full force and the newspaper men are to have a box. Box 23 will be the press box. The boxes are being rapidly sold, as many are going in parties.

They don't flirt around here; they take your order and that's all." HYDE PARK NEIGBORHOOD SETTLEMENT The Right Thing in the Right Place. If there is any institution in the world of which the Negro ought to feel proud it is the Hyde Park Neighborhood Settlement. Although it has not been in existence eighteen months it offers to every one opportunities that other institutions give after years of existence. More than three hundred men, women and children use the reading room each week. The supply of books were found to be inadequate, so the public library kindly sent more than four hundred volumes of good books, both for adults and children. A class in fine Irish Crochet opened Monday evening at S o'clock with a good attendance. The dressmaking classes that meet every Thursday afternoon at three and Tuesday evening at eight are still progressing. The officers are opening a new field for our young women and girls who desire to earn an independent living. We guarantee work for those who become proficient in the art of good dressmaking. Here is an excellent opportunity for those who complain about lack of chance to be engaged in anything except as laundresses and housemaids. Miss Luna M. Scott still has charge of the classes in piano. There has been a ready response in this department of work as music is almost a necessity in any home. Monday evening, August 11, a free illustrated lecture 'will be given to the boys at the Settlement, 5623 Jefferson avenue. Everything good that is possible is being done to lift the stigma that formerly rested upon the Negroes in Hyde Park. Much of this has been done already. Two years ago much prejudice existed, even among the children. For one year both white and colored have attended the Settlement, sitting at the same reading table, singing side by side the same patriotic songs and exercising with the same American flags, thus expecting to become good citizens of the same country, governed by the same equal and just law. Many claim that the Settlement has been so beneficial to the community that the moral tone has been raised 50 per cent. All workers for humanity are invited to visit the Hyde Park Neighborhood Settlement, 5623 Jefferson avenue. Miss Clotee E. Scott, founder and president. MRS. BLACKWELL At the Appomattox Club House. Tuesday from 2 to 5 p. m. the Apponattox Club House was a scene of gaiety and splendor. The luxuriant partors simply swarmed with a bevy of beautiful young ladies and matrons. The occasion was the whist party given by Mrs. B. G. Blackwell in honor of Miss Susse Brent of Quincy, ill., and Mrs. John Hall of Boston. The prizes, which were very beautiful, were designed and made by the hostess. The first prize was won by Miss Brent and Mrs. John Hall received the second ogn. Mrs. Lottie Cooper and Mrs. Rush Yerby were also numbered among the prize winners. A splendid collation was served to 42 ladies present, during which the guests were charmed with the soft strains of a piano symphony, artistically rendered by Miss Bowman of Boston, after which the many guests departed thanking their charming hostess for having spent such a delightful afternoon.

Has Done Much to Aid in Their Uplift—Friends at Times Were Afraid of His Being Impeached for His Humanitarian Work—But He, Being a True Yankee of the John Brown Type, Defies the World. At Judge Pinckney's court room Thursday afternoon, August 7th, the first general committee meeting of the officers of Amanda Smith Industrial School for Girls was held and the occasion marked a new era in the work of educating, training and generally promoting the welfare of dependent girls in Chicago. It was a splendid meeting of representative men and women who are working together with enthusiasm to see that dependent girls are given an equal opportunity with all other girls to be educated and trained in manual and domestic arts. for its own girls, but our people did consider it unjust to have their own plan and dependent girls of the Protestant faith "jim crowed" into a Catholic school, which was given thousands of dollars by the County for the care of these girls. Our people insist that if our girls are to be "jim crowed" at all we prefer to have them sent to an institution organized maintained and controlled by our people, who are directly interested in the welfare of these unfortunate. If we must be segregated, we want to segregate ourselves; we do not want to be "jim crowed" by white people and then pay them for doing it. For years our citizens have felt the need of such a work. Neither State nor County have any public institution for dependent girls; both depend upon the schools and institutions founded by private charity, and these generally refuse to accept girls of the race. The result has been that the dependent girls have been denied the benefits of school advantages calculated to educate and fit them for making their way in the world. Both Protestant and Catholic institutions draw the color line against our girls, and having no suitable place to send our orphan and dependent girls, it became necessary at times to send dependent girls to the State School for delinquent girls, when they should have had the care and training of dependent girls. That is a most unjust condition of public affairs which gives to a white orphan girl care, education and training in a school and then instead of caring for an orphan girl either farms her out in private homes or sends her to prison. Finally the Catholies organized a training school to receive our girls. They would not receive our girls in their schools already established but this new school furnished a place for colored Catholic girls. As it was the only industrial school which would receive our girls, both Protestant and Catholic race girls were sent there from the Juvenile Court. The race keenly felt the injustice of this system of segregation. They did not presume to complain because the Catholic Church saw fit to draw the color line and establish a school NATIONAL PETITION AGE AND COLOR SEGREGATION GOVERNMENT AGE Read Citizens, Sign Your Name and of Boston Guardian, 21 C —Get Several Nai PETITION To the President of the United S Hon.

There, at the evening twilight, away up above, the din of the streets in the beautiful apartments of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Allen, 3433 Wabash avenue, Sunday, August 10, Mr. Hanabal Black was married to Miss Estelle Williams, one of Chicago's artistic dressmakers and society belles. Rev. Cook of Quinn officiated. The wedding was one of the most beautiful of the season and we must say it was the first this year to take place at the time set. Exactly half-past seven, the light orchestra, which was in the front parlor, pealed forth the Coleridge Taylor Wedding March, the bride and groom began that great journey which leads on and on forever more. The house was packed with only immediate friends, who were greatly pleased at the beautifulness of the occasion. The bride was dressed in white crepe de chine, trimmed in pearls and forget-me-nots and carried a large shower of white brides' roses; Mrs. Allen, bridesmaid, wore a dress of cream yellow marquise, trimmed beaded gold carried white roses; Mrs. M. D. Wiley, crepe chine, trimmed with hand-made silk flowers and forget-me-nots; Miss Laura Sample, white silk poplin trimmed with chiffon and forget-me-nots. Miss Rodwell King, Nashville, Tenn., nice of the groom, came up to attend the wedding.

If we must be segregated, we want to segregate ourselves; we do not want to be "jim crowed" by white people and then pay them for doing it. Hence the public interest in this new work. The Amanda Smith Orphan Home at North Harvey has kept its doors open twelve years for our orphan and dependent children. The splendid work was founded and during twelve years was supported by Amanda Smith, without county or state support. This well known institution, splendidly situated upon its own grounds and in its own buildings, appeals to all thoughtful race people as the logical place for our dependent girls, and when the Board of Directors applied for a charter which would enable it to take girls directly from the Juvenile Court of Chicago and County Courts all over the State, the public gladly approved the movement. Leaders in the social, civic and religious life of Chicago race people have joined in the new work and pledge their best efforts to make the school a success. The meeting Thursday showed the strength of this movement by the large number of representative persons present, and their conference with Judge Pinckney and Chief Probation Officer Hunter was full of encouragement and gave assurance of hearty co-operation and good will. Addresses were made by Judge Pinckney and Mr. Hunter, then by different officers of the school and representatives of auxiliary organizations. Public dedication exercises will be held at the Home buildings in North Harvey on Labor Day and friends of the new work will have opportunity to become fully acquainted with the details of work and the plans for future development.

SENATOR CLAPP FIGHTS FOR RACE Monday the Following Startling Revelation of Postmaster General Burleson's Intentions Came Out in the Press of the Country. Washington, Aug. 4.—Opposed to segregation of the races in the Postoffice Department, Senator. Clapp of Minnesota was prepared today to insist that Postmaster General Burleson explain the grounds on which a department order providing for such a separation of the white and Negro employees was in contemplation. The senator contends that the two races have worked together for a half century and he does not believe any greater need exists for their separation now than at any time in the past. The proposed plan, Senator Clapp says he has been given to understand, would increase the expenses of the department by approximately $150,000 a year. While there have been no very strong complaints from employees of postoffices throughout the country, officials admit that vigorous protests against working with Negroes have been filed by employees in the railway mail division. Rest not a moment until you have written Hon. A. E. Burleson, postmaster general, Washington, D.C. expressing your surprise, and appealing and protesting against his class distinction and race prescription. Write to President Woodrow Wilson to prevent it. Then write to every Democratic congressman from your state to see it that such a dastardly order is never carried out, that otherwise colored votes in your state must resent it at home. Then write the chairman of the Democratic state committee to oppose it, then your Democratic governor and mayor. Strike now to save your race from degradation. Write! Write! Write! Get ready for the annual meeting in December, perhaps in Boston. The fight is on. Yours for freedom and equality with no separation. TELL IT AS IT WAS THOUGH WE SHOW OUR OWN WEAKNESS. Mr. Frank Young, sporting editor of the Defender and manager of The Defender baseball team, showed the selfish and unsportsmanlike side of his nature in his writepup of the game between his team and the Emergencies on Sunday morning, August 3, at Washington Park, which I will admit was one of the worst exhibition of baseball I ever saw, on both sides. Mr. Young succeeded in bringing out all the weaknesses of the Emergencies, but he failed to mention his own. He spoke of how long my pitchers lasted, but he failed to say anything about Davis Carey, one of his best pitchers, being knocked out of the box in the fourth inning. He also failed to say anything about his players refusing point blank to pay for the new ball he had brought out because the Emergencies would not play for a side bet, the result of which, in order to have a decent ball in play, the Emergencies willingly allowed their new ball to be used. Mr. Young showed that he was somewhat concerned about the playing ability of the Emergencies, because he did not fill his position on the team, giving way to a stronger player. Just half of my regular team played and I never had the services of either of my regular pitchers. I am a good loser in any game, but I like things told as they were.
