It may be hoped that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is needlessly exercised over the effort to bring about the segregation of Negroes in the federal service at Washington, so that they shall not work with the whites who serve the government. That organization has appealed to the presi- known as the dry drink. It is cocaine dope. This will make the Negro do almost anything, and when he is under this drug it is the Negro who is written up, and not the drug. Is it not sad to see how these wicked trusts have blindfolded the church of Christ, and how they have gagged her mouth? But Zion will awake to her duty very soon. It has been God who has protected me in securing this information. I know at first in investigation of the Negro settlements you will see some things-which will make you believe that the Negro is to blame, and the devil is sure to convince you if he can. But get in that inner circle like I did—no matter what it costs—and you will learn that the trusts are back of all this Jim Crow and this white slavery, and I will assure you they have their interests pretty well protected. And as long as they can have their say in the hire of the preachers and teachers they are safe and secure to carry on their hidden crime.

This has its white and colored repare run by white people and white bartenders. What can you expect of the black man who lives daily among this environment, and then wherever you see that sign, "For Colored Only," they are only gambling and cocaine pits, and if you do not believe me, smoke your face and live around there for a while. No man knows the powerful combination which protects this wickedness. I have no time to dwell on the evil of colored women who can give birth to children without searching investigation being made as to who is the father of the child, and if it would be investigated some Negro would have to be the father. I have not the time to expose the evil of the colored jantresses, and of other colored women which are used at will in business offices at night by Court and released because there was no case against him. The white people then had Mr. Thompson tried in the Federal Court and he was convicted by a jury who were prejudiced because he was colored. He is now in the county jail and unless his appeal is perfected in a couple of weeks he will have to spend three years down at Fort Leavenworth. The man was formerly lieutenant in the U. S. Army in the Philippines. He has three young children by his first wife, who died a few years ago, and they are now with Mr. Thompson's sister at 5520 Lafayette avenue, who would be very grateful for any contributions that would be sent her, as she is looking after her brother's appeal and has no money at the present time.

She had been a patient sufferer since March, and, though her death has caused much sadness among the friends and relatives, death was a sweet visitor to her, as she had been ill so long. She was the wife of General G. M. Lawrence, who is well known in Pythian circles. Mr. Rollie Green conducted the funeral, and it is said by those in authority that it was well conducted and managed. Mrs. Lawrence leaves a daughter, Mabel, to mourn her loss. --- A Fearless, HONEST CHAMPION of the People Jim Crow Government Not Wanted It may be hoped that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is needlessly exercised over the effort to bring about the segregation of Negroes in the federal service at Washington, so that they shall not work with the whites who serve the government. That organization has appealed to the president not to permit action of this sort to be taken. When a Negro attains to a position of trust and honor in the nation's employ, though the position be of a minor nature, his success is in the face of racial handicaps that make his progress unreasonably difficult. Courage and force of character are required if he is to win his way. It would be shameful to add further handicaps based on the color of his skin and ignoring his moral and intellectual qualities. To establish a Jim crow standard of government in Washington would be, of course, to violate the canons of true democracy. Further, the injury to the self-respect and natural ambi- Mother Jackson, speaking Tuesday evening, where fully five thousand frantic men and women applauded when she told of how colored men were shot down in the streets of her tion of American Negroes would be serious. The Negro is a patriot. Shall the government to which he gives his allegiance thrust him aside as at best a second rate patriot? Segregation would probably have the injurious effect, as the Negroes themselves suggest, of limiting their chances for civil service promotion.

It provides you with a card to give to any one asking alms at your home. The out-of-work man later finds he is walking into the arms of an agency connected with the police department. These "so-called vagrants" are then gobbled into the net and sent down to work on the levee for contractors for $1.25, some working 15 hours per day. The colored persons (for those are the desired ones) will be drawn into a controversy with the contractors around pay day, and then told to beat it. Most of them would be then arrested, and sent to southern states prison farms and mines, on complaints which will put them in slavery for from 1 to 25 years.

HUNTINGTON HAS MODERN HOSPITAL Huntington, W. Va., Aug. 22.—The most thoroughly modern private hospital in Huntington, W. Va., is the Barnett Hospital, owned and managed by Dr. Clinton Barnett, a Negro physician of that city. Dr. Barnett built and equipped his hospital at an expense of $25,000. Dr. Barnett is a member of the Negro Business League. LIEUTENANT GEO.

Mr. George Thompson, who was convicted of white slavery before Judge Geiger in the Federal Court two months ago, has decided to appeal his case, and he is sure, as are also the lawyers who represent him, that the case will be reversed.

C., under the presidency of Daniel Freeman, has become a potent factor in that city, and the opening of many new and diversified business places there is largely due to Mr. Freeman's inspirations and interest. Every man has enough power to become powerfully weak.—Waldo Baston. COLORED ALDERMAN FOR 2ND WARD Great Fight Now On—White Friends Feel That There Should Be Colored Man in City Council—Many.

Entire Strength Will Be Given to Democrats—No More Judge Barnett Affairs and No Saloon Hangouts Are to Be Permitted as Judges and Watchers—Pick for College and Working Citizens to Be Used instead. Referring to the article published in a local publication August 16, 1913, under the dead of "Major R. R. Jackson, a Modern Gollath," will say I am in a position to state that Major R. R. Jackson has no part in the Second Ward Citizens' Aldermanic League and knows nothing of its origin, except through a conversation which we had together on Tuesday afternoon, August 19, after the article appeared in the paper, but Major, like all other good citizens with the highest interest of the race at heart, is in sympathy with any movement that has a tendency to elevate any citizen. The officers and members of the Second Ward Citizens' Aldermanic League will bear me out in saying that Major Jackson has not been identified with the movement in any way, either in person or by communication. The men who originated this movement and have united themselves in THE PREACHER FOR THE UNITING ACES AND CAUSES IN YOUR LOVE AND AS A VILLAGE LAD Is this head and his hides scared white like wool, as white as snow, and big eyes scared as all flame of fire.

They are men who are making their daily bread by the sweat of their brows and by the success of the business enterprises which they are conducting. They are not looking to any one for a dollar. They have no personal interests to gain, but the interests of the race, and have done no more than other good citizens of other races have done. One thing they have decided upon, that is with the officers and members of the league, and that is "no backward steps will be taken, but the forward march." Our motto is "No criterion but success." Every other nationality and race in the city is represented in the city council, and why not our names be written there? We believe this is one of the best movements that has ever been made in the city, and feel confident of the co-operation of all the best citizens of the Second ward, as well as of the press, and believe success will crown our efforts. If the writer who submitted the article in question desires further information it may be obtained readily at the treasurer's office, 3638 State street, second floor. Yours respectfully, M. T.

Mrs. Wilson is a very fine hand paint artist, but she is very modest in displaying her work to the literary world. She is a teacher at the State Normal school in the Modearn school, and she is a well versed seamstress. Miss Willie Bell Stevenson, a very attractive young lady of Lexington, and directress of music at the Paris high school is a graduate of the Channell Normal music department, and is among the few young leading musicians of the state. Miss Stevenson is very popular, her politeness has made those who know her really love her, for at all times she is cheerful and with a smile of kindness extended to all.

I will build Solomon's temple here in Chicago and give my people the religion they ought to have, that religion that our forefathers had given us by the God of the Universe. He will lecture three times a week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, on the Abyssinian people, their customs, their army and their country; also the exterior and interior of Solomon's temple. Itzoch International Peace Movement. The International Peace and Brotherly Love Movement, advanced by the Abyssinian Jews and M. C. Thornton, will be fully outlined through lectures three times a week at 11 West 32d street. Peace and brotherly love between all men regardless of creed or color, for the betterment of humanity, will be their object, and it is hoped all will join in giving their full support to the good cause which we are promoting. The Itzoch brothers will teach languages especially to the black American Jews, and will prove to the more learned Jews of Chicago that the Negro is the right Jew and the white ones will witness the same if they will only be fair, and we hope they will come and acknowledge facts and they have done. We hope that not only the black Jew will confess his identity with the white Jew, but that the Chinese Jew, the Japanese Jew and the red Jew will do likewise. We also hope that the race will join in this movement and come and hear the arguments, and help us uplift down fallen humanity. DAVID BENITZOCH, HENRY ITZOCH, 1 believe a statement is. due my many friends who have read the charges and verdict rendered by the civil service commission of Chicago against nine smoke inspectors, including myself. All were discharged for insubordination, loafing and making false reports. Politics and revenge were the prime factors in the case. Several years ago Alderman McInerny started an investigation of the heads of the department, and some resigned. Again this spring he (McInerny) caused an investigation that caused some uneasiness in the department. For these investigations the little men, including myself, were charged with insubordination and numerous other offenses. For political and other reasons we were shadowed. "Stool pigeons" and other devices or methods were used to find some excuse to discharge us, especially me, knowing that I was a Republican in politics, except local affairs. Eight of us were discharged August 14, 1913. In the near future I shall take up the real estate, newspaper or some other business or profession. Thanking my fraternal and political friends for past and future favors, I am yours respectfully, J. E. Blish, 5821 Wabash avenue, Chicago, Ill. MALLORY BROS. DOING LARGE BUSINESS Jacksonville, Ill., Aug. 22—Mallory Bros., Edward and Frank, are conducting a very successful business at Jacksonville, Ill., handling almost everything possible from diamonds to stoves.

ELLA FRAZIER PASSES AWAY, The funeral of Mrs. Ella Frazier, 3504 State street, sister of Mamie Browlow Davis, who departed this life Friday, August 15, 1912, after an operation for appendicitis at the Provident Hospital., was held Sunday, August 17, at Mrs. C. Johnson's chapel on State street and was largely attended. Interment at Lincoln Cemetery. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. The writer thinks it timely to commend highly Rev. Rayborn, who officiated on this occasion. Being a young, aspiring preacher of the Gospel, he deserves the help and co-operation of people. His eloquence and broad knowledge of time and events make prophecy easy as to his future career. With Mrs. Frazier at her death was her life-long friend, Mrs. Lillian Wilkinson of Windsor, Ont., who looked after her every want and fulfilled to the last her dying requests. Though having to come a long way, record time was made, and she was able to find Mrs. Frazier conscious and happy, her last words being: "Our blessed Savior's mercies endure forever." Mrs. Wilkinson, though choked with grief and emotion at the bluer of her best friend, sang most beautifully that deeply pathetic hymn, "My Farewell." Too much praise cannot be given Mrs. Johnson for her excellent management and directing of funerals given to her care. Her place of business is a credit to her race, and she rightfully deserves the loyal support that Chicago gives her. WASHINGTON BUSINESS MEN FORM LEAGUE Washington, D.

The Poet Johnson then sang a few cf his verses from different scores. “What Mr. Robin Says" (dialect), “My Ra. chel," “Liebchen,” “Abend” and “When I Die” were a few of the ‘strains presented. “The Lost Sum mer,” by Peyton and Johnson, was a “Meteoric Flash” of a pathetic sweet: ness. i ‘The Fisher Sisters.

We are not looking for bis politics, but we hope to elect a good man, But women as well as men must stand together as one if we hope to be successful. /_ Every week some one gives instruct ive talks. If the colored women do not take advantage of the franchise they may only blame themselvés when they are left out of overything All other natlonalities are studying how to vote. Clubs are being organ: fzed among foreign women, ever those who don’t know the English language. Why should not the col ered women who are natural born Americans not be interested in our own welfare, : : ‘Thosofin other wards should organ- ize their respective wards.

In Corea there exists a very od dellof about protecting a person from evil and from the results of commit tng a crime or misdemeanor. First of all, when the Corean real izes that’ he has committed a sin, he hunts up a sorcerer who sells various “charms.” ‘The sorcerer makes for the penitent person a life size straw man, con cealing therein a number of smal coins, and then proceeds by incanta tons to lure the evil spirits out of the real person's body into that of the straw man, The buyer then takes thi: straw man home, dresses It in some of his cast off clothes, and throws fi into the street, All passersby help to destroy the straw man, partly because they be Heve in helping the penitent man tc get rid of the evil spirits, and parth because they know thero is money hid den within.

The finishers and electricians are putting the last touches on the top floor dormitories, and the marble work is done all over the buildings, except in the main entrance where the men are working now. The official opening of the natatorium will occur September 1. The committee is planning the first members' social to which all members will be invited that they may meet their 300 new brothers. Ladies' day will very soon be announced in this paper. The Sunday meetings continue to be well attended. The membership in the boys' division is constantly increasing. The intermediate gymnasium class, consisted of working boys and high school boys, was begun last week. Their hours are Mondays and Wednesdays at 7:30 to 8:30. The junior classes are held Mondays and Thursdays at 4 to 5. Both classes are taking to the gymnastic work very readily. Mr. Hammond, the director of the boys' division, will conduct these classes until Mr. Jeffers, the physical director, returns from his vacation late in September, Mr. Dore of the University of Wisconsin will assist him. The boys' baseball team has won eight games and lost four so far this season. They took two games from men. The players are Frank Legore, captain, catcher; John People, pitcher; Robert Anderson, first base; Paul, second base; C. Bernice Manning, shortstop; And. Hubbard, third base; Floyd Hardwell, left field; Lloyd Hubbard, center field; Perry Parks, right field; with John Beck with and Harvey Lewis utility infielders, and John Hines, Ralph Woodward, James Diggs and Lincoln utility outfielders. The Thursday night lectures in the boys' department are well attended every week. They will doubtless be more so hereafter, for the boys have a new picture machine now, which will add a great deal to their gatherings. The boys also have some new pictures on their walls and some decorations in their club room, which make their quarters very cozy. Some of the boys say they are having a hard time saving up to get enough to join the Y. M. C. A. I. If any of them want to use Mr. Hammond as their banker so they can leave their savings with him until they get their fee he will be glad to accommodate them with the understanding that no depositor can draw his money out to use for any purpose; it must be applied to membership in the association. Misses Bessie and Ethel Baker of Glencoe, ill., have had as their guests at a house party during the last week the following out-of-town visitors: Mrs. William Fielding Waters, Mrs. F. D.

A reception dance at the Evanston Auditorium Tuesday evening by Miss Bessie Baker and Miss Lillian Perry in honor of the St. Paul girls, the Sedalia girls, and Miss Clarice Jones and Georgina Richey ended the festivities. The dance reception was a delightful affair. The hall was a beautiful little place and attractive in every detail. With the orchestra on the stage completely concealed by palms, which ran the entire length of the stage, offered an attractive decoration. The receiving party, which consisted of ten charming young women, stood in the far corner of the hall, separated from the guests by a ribbon which was held in place by two beautiful bay trees. The two hundred guests enjoyed the sweet strains of Professor Garfield Wilson's orchestra. Mr. Julius N. Avendorph was master of ceremonies.

THE CHICAGO DEPENDER RELIC OF HEATHENISM RELIC OF HEATHENISM BELIEF IN VAMPIRES IS MANY CENTURIES OLD. As Strong Today in Russia and the Balkan States as It Ever Was—Superstition Leads Frequently to Violation of Graves. Proofs of the persistence of the belief in the reality of vampires are to hand from a small Russian village. Some three years ago the head of a family resident there died, and since that date nine other members of the family have also died. Believing that their deaths were the result of the roving spirit of their chief, the remaining surviving members of the family assembled together a few evening since, disinterred the remains, and cut off the head, again burying the body. They hope by this means to prevent any further evil happening to the family. The belief in vampires can be traced back for more than two thousand years, yet there is not on record a single authenticated instance of a vampire having been seen by a human being, and there are no data available by means of which the origin of the belief can be ascertained with any degree of certainty. These blood-sucking apparitions, or "living, mischievous, murderous dead bodies," as-one writer quaintly termed them, were common to all countries, whether Occident or Oriental, but it was generally agreed that the phenomena of vampirism were to be seen only in persons cursed by their parents, excommunicated by the church, the illegitimate offspring of parents themselves illegitimate or people attacked by vampires after death. Quite recently there was reported in the daily press the story of a Hungarian farmer who had dug up the corpse of a supposed vampire, stuffed three pieces of garlic and three stones in the mouth and then driven a stake through the body. Servia and Bulgaria follow closely in the wake of Hungary, and in the eighteenth century an official examination of many graves was made, and the report of such examination embodied in a public document. It states that a large number of undecomposed bodies, undoubtedly those of vampires, were discovered. In 1863 there was an epidemic of vampirism in a Bulgarian village. The inhabitants became so frightened that when night set in instead of retiring to rest in the usual manner, they all assembled together in one central hall to pass the night, in company. While they were away from their houses, however, the enraged vampires entered them, turned everything topsycurve and smeared all the pictures, ornaments and furniture with blood and dirt. The Russians hold tenaciously to a belief in the reality of vampires, but they attribute the birth of a vampire as due to an unholy union between a witch and a werewolf, or a devil. In many parts of Russia watchers remain by the dead right through every night until burial. Testing Wool Fabrics. Two good ways of telling whether or not the cloth you buy for "all wool" is really what it is represented to be are given by Miss Anabell Turner of the home economies department of the University of Wisconsin in the Rural New Yorker. "Unravel a sample of the material exposing the warp and weft threads separately," she says. "Wool fibers are more curly than the cotton. Then burn some of the threads; if cotton, they will burn quickly; if wool, more slowly with an odor like that of burning feathers or bone. "If cotton and wool have been spun together in the same thread the above test is not reliable. In such a case, the alkall test should be used. Mix together one tablespoonful of Lewis lye and one pint of water. Place the sample of goods in a granite dish, cover with solution, and boll for five minutes. At the end of this time all the wool will be dissolved out leaving the cotton intact, so that it is easy to see how much cotton was used to adulterate the 'pure wool' fabric." Couldn't Call It Stealing. "Whether you believe or don't believe in the tariff, you'll admit that we'd have fewer multimillionaires if we'd never had high protection." The speaker, Representative Abercrombie, lighted a cigar and resumed: "This sort of thing reminds me, just a little bit, of old Calhoun Clay. "Is this your first theft, Cal? the old man's mistress asked, after she had caught him walking off with a bottle of beer. "Yas'm,' Cal replied. 'Yas'm. I reckon dish-yere's mah .just theft, mum.' "Now, Cal, be careful,' said the mistress, smiling, for she lifted the old man well. 'Didn't you sometimes use to take a chicken from the 'ole massa' when you were a young fellow down south?' "Why, yes'm, mebbe I did take jez one chicken,' Cal agreed. 'But dat wan't no steallin', mum. Dat wuz jez' propty takin' propty to suppt' propty."—Washington Star. Recularities of English Peculiarities of English Law. Women cannot be lawyers in England, but they can be queens, marshals, champions of England, sextons, church wardens, constables, workhouse governors, returning officers, overseers of the poor and sheriffs of assizes. And yet the objection of the law society to a woman entering the legal profession is that she is not a "person." Certainly when English law entitles her to fulfill so many functions she cannot be called a "nobody."—Rochester Post Express. Literally So. He—That's old man Driver who just went by. He makes me tired. She (reprovingly)—That expression is not only slang, but very stale slang. He—No slang about it. He's the man I work for. WHEN THE SEA TAKES TOLL Lone Survivor of Gallant Crew All That the Life Savers Might Bring Through the Breakers. The vessel fought in that last half hour as it had fought all day—gamely, but without hope. Those who watched from the lee shore saw the wheelhouse, like a smashed match box; saw the crazed, demented movements in the cauldron, drifting here and there, but always terribly shoreward. Sea followed sea in wild confusion, a great jungle of mad monsters, foaming white at the mouth, roaring, snarling, snapping with vicious teeth. It was nearer now. Only a few minutes to live. A great, shaggy brute, bigger and wilder than the rest, charged it, caught it as it were on the tusks and threw it high to where it struck, beaten at last, with its nose on the outer rocks. The first rocket was true, but as the line fell across the deck a great green monster sprang forward and downward. Only two men remained where there had been seven. The second line fell clear, but the third landed, and the survivors made it fast to a wince. The chair was half way out to them when the next cruel charge came. It beat one of them for, when the shining cataracts rolled from the deck it was a solitary figure that clung with arms and legs to the slippery metal. The buoy was waiting for him, but he dared not move. He chose his chance well, topped across the perilous deck and got himself into the seat. Blinded and stung, he gripped the rope and was dragged through the welter of waters. His look was the look of a drowned man and his chilled hands held the rope with what seemed a death grip. It was only by force that the rescuers could unloosen the stiffened fingers and carry him to the station. He gave no sign for a long white, and even when he breathed again an hour passed before he found his tongue. He lay there with blank eyes, his mouth half open, his jaw loose, no look of comprehension on his face. Not a word did he speak until, outside in the shed, the station mascot set to barking at the wind. The man moved uneasily. "On de ship," he said, very slowly, each word apart. "On de ship I haf had von little dog." And he wept, unrestrainedly, as a young girl weeps.—San Francisco Chronicle. When Is a Boat Not a Boat? Harbor officials are in a quandary over this question: "When is a boat not a boat?" It all comes about through the popularity of the hydroaerplane, and so far there is no one connected with the government service who seems to be abel to answer it. The officials whose duties include the enforcement of the harbor regulations maintain that it is a boat and as such comes under the regulations governing power boats and therefore must comply with the laws by carrying the stipulated equipment of signal horn, lights, life preservers, etc. On the other hand, the officials of the Aero Club of America as stoutly maintain that it is not a boat, but an aeroplane, and for proof point to the fact that it must have Aero club sanction to participate in competitive events and that its pilots must operate under an aviator's license, just as though it had only wheels instead of a hull for water maneuvering. Even the tentative court of last resort, the American Power Boat association, confesses itself "stumped." Zeppelin's Adventurous Career. "Let us resolve to live long," said a German cavalry officer, addressing comrades who had assembled to celebrate the seventy-fifth birthday of Count Zeppelin. "The evening shadows were already gathering when this man surprised the world with his work. That sometimes happens to a man whose morning and noon were quiet and devoid of adventure, but his has not been a life of that kind. In the Civil war in the United States he barely escaped with his life, in the war of 1866 he plunged into the River Main, horse and man fully accounted, and swam the stream; in the war of 1870 he risked his life by riding unaccompanied into the camp of the enemy, and as a retired general of cavalry entitled to rest he appeared in a new role, allowed himself to be laughed at and then, with a great leap into the air, became the most popular man in Germany." Inspiration Suggested a Way Out. It was the morning after, and he was telling the fellows at the office about it. "Tom and I spent last evening with some friends and were returning to our hotel at a rather late hour. We walked in the middle of the street, for we felt so good we wanted room in which to expand. At a place where some work was being done there was a pile of dirt about five feet long and about ten inches high. Arm in arm we made an effort to step over the obstruction. We met with utter failure. Try as we might, our feet seemed to be too heavy to lift over the obstruction. We were about to give up in despair and resign ourselves to being marooned on that lonely street for the rest of the night, when I had one of those rare inspirations that come only to men of genius. 'Tom,' I exclaimed, 'we are saved; we will go around this pile of dirt.' And we did."—Kansas City Star Perfect Diamond Bare It was demonstrated at the jewelers' exhibition, Agricultural hall, Islington, which closed the other day, that the perfect diamond is rare, writes a London (England) correspondent. One dealer produced a very large diamond which he was prepared to sell for $300. "If nature," he said, "had not tinged is with that that of yellow the stone would be worth $30,000. "To those who have no knowledge of gems I would say: 'Do not buy as real for $25 a diamond that is pure crystal without blemish, for it would not be real.' "Women are the best judges of the value of precious stones because they treasure them more than men. It is a matter of instinct."

BRILLIANT PLAYS FEATURE THROUGHOUT Large Crowd of Society and Professional People Turn Out—Dr. Plummer Due Much Credit—A Word of Thanks to Others. --- A few showers in the early morning helped to keep a few away. The great benefit game was staged under the management of Dr. Plummer, at the American Giants park, last Saturday afternoon. A throng came and they went and most were satisfied that they had their money's worth, with the exception that the umpire in the first game might have given the medical men a little more of an even break in the decisions. However, through the efforts of Dr. Plummer and his aides the Old Polkers, the Old Sol showed himself about 1 oclock and at 2:30 when the first game was called the diamond was in good condition. The Emergencies scored first, when, in the second inning, they shaved across two runs, to DR. PLUMMER, the Tireless. the delight of the ladies. in the third, both went scorceless, while the fourth saw the Emergencies pile up three more. The Doctors tallied one in their half, but in the fifth their opponents put two more across. By this time the substitutes had taken the places of many of the medical men. These lads have practiced faithfully with Dr. Plummer throughout the summer, filling in the places of the doctors that failed to show for practice, and they showed the result of practice, for, in their half of the fifth, they scored three times. The game ended in the sixth to give way to the main attraction, the Grace-2nd U. P. game. Grace was there, heart and soul, and so were her rooters, Mr. Bronson, the Connie Mac of the diamond, was there, for it wouldn't have been Grace without his honorable being there. It was some game, and Grace brought home the glory of not only winning, but of doing her best in the interest of an institution of the race. The white lads played like hends and it was not until the closing innings that the two-time champions of the Presbyterian leagues of Cook county made a rally that no team could have stood under without faltering. The crowd applauded both teams, for more than once did those pale faces scamper back and pull down hits that seemed like they would have been good for extra bases. The score ended 9 to 5 and our heroes on the long end. All deserve the most heartfelt thanks for their work. Dr. Plummer deserves more than words can express, for he organized the team, coached it and was practically the whole works. There was a committee formed, but somehow they failed to meet and the work was thrown on his shoulders. They have won three and lost three games, and will try to redeem themselves next year. Thanks from Dr. Plummer. We thank Mr. Schorling for the use of his park, Mr. Andrew Foster for the use of his suits, Mr. Chas. A. Comsiksy for the use of the White Sox suits, Mr. Reeder of the Rothchild's elevator nine, also Mr. A. G. Spalding & Bros. for the donation of new balls. We thank our many white friends for contributing for tickets they did not use. We thank the friends that helped us to sell tickets. We thank all those who came out. This report would not be complete without a word of thanks to the 2nd U. P. team and its managers, also to Mr. Bronson, Mr. Rube Thommasson, Capt. Baker and the whole Grace team. We also thank our opponents and their esteemed Captain Avendorph for his many good suggestions and friendly advice. We thank the non-professional young men who, by their loyalty, their sacrifice of time, and their regular practice that made the game possible. We refer to the substitutes that filled the places of the doctors during the latter part of the game. The total receipts to date is $155,055, out of which was expended $48,058, the same going for car fare, stamps, stationery, stenographic work, advertising, ball chasers, sign painting, hauling of ball suits to and from owners, cuts and placards and other incidentals. We saw an announcement in one of the daily papers which we wish to correct. Dr. J. H. Plummer was not only manager of the ball team but had the entire affair in charge. Young Defends Men. In the last issue while I was in Denver Mr. Avendorph undertook to explain the cause of their defeat by my men. They lost and should take it like men. We have lost and the ones that whipped us we shook their hands and offered no excuse. Mr. Avendorph claims we refused to put a new ball into play, so we did because the agreement was that two new ones would be used, and they brought one that had been used and recovered. Again, I do not know whether there are two Mr. Avendorphs or not, but I received a letter accepting my challenge for a game and saying that they would play from one to ten and signed by the gentleman. As for my not playing I have not played in weeks and do not intend to do so. To break up a winning combination, for we have won 18 out of 19 games played. I have two men for every position, and at first base four. We challenge any team for a three-game series and are afraid of none. We will be willing to play Grace, the only team that we think can really beat us. I will let the public judge for me, I ask no more than equal break, but take every man at his word until I find him otherwise. I will stick by my men, as they have been loyal to me. Next year we will have a team in the managers' league and one that is be worthy of representing the race. Now that each side has aired its seeming wrongs we would suggest that in future these matters be taken up on the baseball field and settled by the umpire. The Defender will not carry any more stories of this nature, as its readers are looking for manly acts on the ball field, and especially so from the two teams in question. The American Giants Losers The Chicago Giants took advantage of the hard series that has been wearing the American Giants out and took them into camp 10 to 3. After their hard struggle with the Lincoln's Giants went to Cincinnati and there played a three-game series with the Cuban Stars, jumping back home in the game with the Chicago Giants. They showed the effects of the trip. Seven hits, two errors, a base on balls and Strother's steal home in the fifth netted the Chicago Giants seven runs in the fifth. The Americans hit Crawford hard enough to win, but could not bunch their hits. The score: R.H.E. Amer. Giants ...000 1 20000 3113 Chicago Giants ...000 0 120 10 122 The Defenders Win Again Defenders Win Again. The Defenders won again this time. They had to play baseball. Drake was back into the game and his finger is in good shape. The Forest Giants were the victims of though we have some respect for them, for they held us one to nothing for five innings, when Henderson hit a home run with two on. Drake singled and Crawley singled, then Thompson, the former captain of Quinn, cleared the bases with another homer. The game ended 8 to 5. Richards, former Quinn pitcher, pitched the entire game. There was a nice crowd out and it was a clean game. The Defenders will be out of town Labor Day, but are open for new games this season. None but those who will talk business need apply.

BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETS Chicago Praised as the Best City for Educated and Trades Colored Men in America—Statistics Before National Colored Business League Show Race at Disadvantage in Big Cities. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 22.—Today's sessions of the National Negro Business League convention was devoted to a discussion of general merchandising, the development of insurance business among Negroes, the Negro inventor, and the forward to the country movement among member cities. Statistics were presented to show that the Negro is crowding into the large cities, to the detriment of his material advancement and health. Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York were mentioned as having an excess Negro population measured by the opportunities the colored man has in those cities. Chicago was eliminated from the discussion because it stood in a class by itself. Most, and a great majority, of men and women coming to Chicago are educated and have trades and are better prepared for the job. Chicago is therefore his first impression is a lasting one on the Chicago public. They have all the advantages and are represented in every phase of life. Knights of Pythias Leave Tonight. Good-by will be the password tonight to wives and sweethearts when the K. P.'s, headed by Gen. R. R. Jackson, leave for Baltimore for the conclave. K. P.'s from other cities west will meet here: the depot and join the Chicago boys on their march to the sea. The Eighth band, loaned to the K. P.'s by the citizens, will furnish music. The Defender would like to have it understood that the best of care must be given our band. At the same time we would warn our men against Jim Crow cars and public street scenes, and we must be used by us patriots if we are not white. Be careful not to go to drug stores for soda water, and be careful not to bump up against a white person. It seems strange that a Catholic city like Baltimore is such a hell, but it is. You free Chicago Americans, be cautious. We wish you Godspeed. GIVE UP WORK GRAUALLY Man Accustomed to Regular Duties Makes Mistake When He Suddenly Causes All Labor. Many business men at the age of fifty or fifty-five work eight hours a day and enjoy it. They will tell you they feel as young as they did ten years before. Then some of them conclude they have enough of this world's goods and retire. It is a well-known fact that brain or muscle work forms in the system a poison, and if we keep on working a condition which doctors call auto inactivation is produced. Which means that the antitoxin nature has produced in our bodies has not been enough to offset the poison of our burned up energy. Rest and deep sleep are supposed to clear the body of all poisons and waste. But it has been proved in the cases of persons who use drugs that after they have taken into their system a certain drug in increased amounts for some months they can stand an amount which would kill a dozen persons not accustomed to the drug. From the minute the drug was in their system nature started to work to produce in that body an antitoxin to fight the poison they were taking. Nature gets many habits of her own, and she gets into the habit of expecting to form an antitoxin to battle with that poison or drug which that body has been taking daily, and she produces it daily. Now suddenly let that same body stop taking into it the drug it was used to; nature does not stop forming the antitoxin. No indeed; she goes right on for weeks and months foaming the antitoxin she has been accustomed to form, and the little fighting army to fight and being of a poisonous nature themselves, turn from litter workers, when they have their own works to do in the workers, with no work, and start fighting the good cells of the body, producing a self-poisoning which is likely to cause death. If a man has been working daily for years and the energy used up by work has produced a sort of poisonous waste, enough to cause auto intoxicating if not cleared out by rest and sleep, would it not seem reasonable that nature had daily in that man's system been forming an antitoxin to offset the poisonous waste when when he suddenly stops work the condition takes place as with a person who thinks poison? The antitoxin cells, finding poisonous waste to work on, turn and work on the good cells of the body, causing auto intoxication and sickness and many times death. It would seem that a man giving up work should do so gradually. Sacrificed All for Hobby At ivry, a Paris suburb, has just died a remarkable old man, a seepigencanlan, named Frissard. He died in poverty, but he chosen he could become one of the most famous European sculptors. As it was, he finished life as he began it—more or less penniless. When a boy he was apprenticed to a marble cutter, and he at once discovered his powers in this direction. For fifty years he had continued to execute the most beautiful works of art, mostly in mosaics. M. Frissard's masterpiece took him nearly twenty-four years to perfect. It is a black marble table. In the middle is a chessboard, on either side of which are playing cards arranged as fana. On the table are dominoes and dice, cigars and cigarettes, and several coins in gold and silver. All these are, of course, inlaid. The materials in the table, beside the black marble, are agate, onyx, porphyry, malachite and lapis lazuli, the tones of which are black, red, orange, blue and white. Ninety different kinds of marble were also used. Eloped by Aeroplane An elopement by aeroplane which has yet some features of the old-time elopement is reported from Nlort, France. Two months ago a good-looking young airman was giving exhibition flights at Nlort. A pretty governess fell in love with him and begged him to take her up in his aeroplane. A few days later the airman eloped with her in the machine, and did not descend until he reached lasy, 250 miles away. The girl's father has now lodged a complaint against the airman, whom he accuses of having abducted his daughter and detained her against her will. The governess, when she appeared before the police commissary, said that she had eloped with the airman of her own free will and declared that she would be eternally grateful to him for flying away with her. She added that, as she was of age, she was free to do as she pleased. The father's complaint was dismissed.

(Continued from page 1. white men who make all kinds of noise against them in daytime. No matter what protection the court will grant, it is the daily environments and the making of bread and butter which seals their mouth. I overheard a conversation on a street car between two men. The one talking was or had been a motorman on the street railway in Memphis, Tenn. He was rejoicing in the fact that he had killed "two niggers." Then he told his companion that his conductor and him had it arranged when the white passengers had all boarded the car, and then he would give the "two bells" and that he let the niggers stand. Now when the persons rush to get on before the white passengers then the cry is raised they are impolite and overbearing. This is a system which is extensively carried on among the street car men of the South, so I am told. But I did hear that conversation for myself. In large cities of the South you will see saloons with the sign "For Colored People Only," and run and owned by white people. The argument they advance that the colored people are not competent to run a saloon in these overcrowded districts, but the truth of the matter is they are only gambling holes and cocaine pits, and under the Jim Crow plan the white Christian is barred from going in to learn the truth, and the colored man dare not tell. In my experience in the Southland, going through several of the worst of the Southern states, I find that the colored race is held in the same bondage in which the miner of the Northern coal fields some years ago had to go through. The miner had no trouble getting work from the mines, if the miner bought everything from the company's store, which included his working tools and household expenses, and the profits derived from the com- JONAH BEGGING THE AM HEAR JONAH TO WARNING ME In my tour of the Southern state I do not take it before the court.

In the audience can be seen men and women with uplifted hands, pledging that they will petition the pany's store were equal to those which the company derived from the sale of coal. So it is in Dixie. The colored farmer can get all the farms he wants to work, if he buys his cotton seed and household necessities, also that he sells the cotton to the white planter or owner of the land. These owners own and control large tracts of land as mining companies do their mines, and this is the net in which the Negro is lured to be their slaves once again. Time and space will not permit me to go into detail with some of the tricks of these supposed charitable planters. I have been convinced, personally, on a few occasions acting as a friend to the planter and an enemy to the Negro. Let me quote you one illustration. A surveyor is sent as if he was coming from the department of the state or county, to tell the Negro farmer that there had been a mistake in his acreage. Of course the next move in settling up with the Negro's cotton he would find that he had about forty or fifty acres to pay rent on, and the charitable offer in which the Negro has rented the farm "per acre" would be skillfully made up. The Negro may have all the wisdom necessary to go and get the land surveyed, but if he is a wise Negro in the South he won't bother with that end of it. Another plan is to get the Negro in debt by adding a few extra clphers on the indebtedness and getting the sheriff and his deputies to harass him with owing a bill wherever he goes. Another sad feature is the fact of unjust environments to the Negro if he makes improvements in his home or dwelling. Many times in the South his land is taken away. The law in Tennessee, forfeiting all payments on a business proposition, especially in real estate, if failing to meet one payment on time. This was made with the purpose of taking the land from the Negro at the time he had it very near paid up. But I must stop here. Holey. To the Beloved Bishop and Officers and Members of your Annual Conference now in Session at Clarksdale and at Corlith. Misa: In writing your distinguished body of God-fearing and God-loving Christians, I do so with no motive of hatred or prejudice whatever, but I do so hoping that you, as a body of leading and Christian people, will make some kind of open protest to the world for the open and inhuman treatment of our fellowmen. I am and have been an humble Negro teacher, but for the past two months have visited every county in the Mississippi Delta, representing a Missouri insurance com- pany. And as such I have had the chance of my life to see the dreadful plight in which our people are now placed. Sir, 80 per cent of them are but slaves. In Coahanna county, the boasted home of the governor of Mississippi—yes, the home of one of the supreme judges, the home of one of the circuit judges and the district attorney—I say in this county itself, "I have ten months" six-ix Negroes have been open murders and not one of the white murderers has ever been even arrested. This is not only a fact in Coahanna county, but in all the Delta counties. Sir, I cannot really see how your ministers can make the reports they do. Fully 75 per cent of the landlords, when finding that their colored tenants are to make a little money, won't settle with them unless such tenants make a contract to work another year, and if such a request is not complied with not one cent will such tenant get. Again, 80 per cent of the landlords in the Delta no longer recognize a single right of the Negro, but considers him more chattel. To prove this, the cotton crops raised by the colored people are taken at price. Even the cotton landlord sees fit to give. Even if the cotton is worth 25 to 30 cents, the landlord only allows 10 or 12 cents all there is to it, notwithstanding the fact that the landlord has made on these poor people per cent on all things sold the poor colored people all the year. Now, sir, to prove these facts, ask every preacher attending your conference, sir, ask them of these open and flagrant murders of our people by the officers of the law and by agents on the plantations. If such a minister is from the Delta he will at once sanction all that is written herein. The past three years have found and are finding every right taken from the Negro in Mississippi. No use denying the facts. We, as a body, should in some way make an open protest against this action. Send it forth in AMERICAN NEGRO TO SAVE the great day of his come, and who shall stand? States, I promised the (oppressed) in the South unions of the leaders of church and state, the old people of the North, and an God's Mess investigation which I have been silently aud U. S. Government to relieve the South of Jim Crow cars and give the Negro the same privilege as he gives the an open declaration to the world. The shorter the better. I am, from this on, going to raise my voice and by words and with the pen for the rights of my people. I am going to visit the Delta part of Arkansas for the coming two months. Men, He is generally the big Negro telling us to be quiet. They never denounced these actions in a public declaration to the world. Brother, go in prayer for our race. We ought to patronize Negro papers that defend our rights, not those that are afraid to publish our slavery. Fraternity yours, H. C. HARRIS. Mrs. Henry Jones Lost in Subway. New York, Aug. 22.—"You, Henry! Where is Henry? Where am I? Oh, dear me, dear me! Pearl, oh my! oh me! Where is Pearl?" were the cries of a beautiful, diminutive, well dressed lady away down in the subway near the Brooklyn bridge. When an officer approached her she said, "Have you seen Henry?" The policeman told her he did not know Henry, but he would like to know where she was going. She said, "I was going with Henry!" In this time Mr. Jones had the whole underground system alarmed, and while Mrs. Jones was talking to the officer the stationmaster came up and asked if this was Mrs. Jones. "Yes, this is she! Where's Henry?" "Why, he's at 125th street, where you started from, and says to get an officer to show you the way back," which she did; but she had to be taken to the lost and found station first. He found they left there. Mr. Jones arrived, and seeing him she fainted in his arms, and said, "T-a-k-e m-e-e back to Chicago, Henry." When the Joneses were seen at their hotel by a Defender correspondent, they refused to discuss the incident, but said, "We are enjoying our stay and won't leave until after the Elks' convention."

Scott, director of exhibits and head of the emancipation office in western Pennsylvania, with offices at 1317-19 Wylie avenue, Pittsburgh, was arrested last Monday night for refusing to be jim crowed at a small theater in the famous Soho district of the Smoky City. The owners of the property have long since made a very considerable fortune from the patronage they have received from Negroes in this section of the city. After hearing of the incident, it is alleged that the Johnny Elmore crowd pleaded with Mr. Scott and his friends not to make a political issue out of this matter, and said that they rented the theater to a Jew and according to the lease they had no power to say how he should run the play house. Director Scott gave the following statement to a reporter Tuesday morning: "I feel some statement is due my family, friends and the race. On Monday, August 18, I went into a nickeldeon on the Elmore property on Center avenue, near Soho street, and without being offered assistance by an CRISPUS ATTU Crispus Attuck's old 'olks' home and orphanage, located in St. Paul, was organized in 1906 with Mr. J.

A few seconds later some one tapped me on the shoulder and ordered me to the Jim Crow section. I quietly refused to change, and was arrested, 'because this man says he has a place for colored people, and you must sit there if he, tells you to,' said city officer No. 862. Of course this ridiculous charge was quickly changed to 'disorderly conduct'; but after a trial lasting two minutes I was discharged. "Naturally I dislike this sort of notoriety, but I bring it to the public to direct attention to these facts: "1. If one colored man can be insulted, Jim Crowed, and then falsely arrested, as in the above instance, without protection of our law, how do you know what you, or your wife, or your mother, will be the next one to be insulted, Jim Crowed, and falsely arrested, 'because this white man says you must do thus and so.' "2. This being the case, I appeal to my friends and co-workers to give this matter of the rapidly growing local discrimination serious attention, and not rest, until like the_Negroes of New York State, we cause laws to be made that will brand as crimes the humiliations that are daily being heaped upon our people in the playhouses, restaurants, etc., of this city. "Further, I wish to express the deep regret that my work calls me away from the city, permanently, thus making impracticable the prosecution of such a good case against the management of the theater in question. I wish to thank my many friends in the Fifth ward for volunteering to raise a fund for the purpose of pushing suit, and to assure them that if conditions of my work within the next few weeks make prosecution possible, I will gladly battle with them in a cause that I believe is not personal, not political, but racial.

St. Louis, Aug. 22.—The ability to wipe out an indebtedness of $14,000 in a short period of less than two years is a rarity of which few men can boast. The feat has been actually achieved by the wonderful work of Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, pastor of St. Paul Chapel A. M. E. Church of St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 20th. About eight years ago he was pastor of St. Steven's Church, Chicago, on the west side, where he showed the same ability of lifting a church above the mire of indebtedness that he revealed in his work here. For the first time in twenty-five years the St. Paul Chapel breathes a breath of freedom from financial thralthd. The burning off the mortgage marks an epoch no less in the history of its advancement than in the able career of its pastor.

His Official Introduction An English treasury official was once sent over to Dublin to inquire into the courts. He was received politely by the late Lord Morris, the famous Irish law lord and wit, who said he would put him in communication with the proper person, and rang the bell. When the elderly female who acted as court-keeper appeared, he remarked, as he left the room: "Mary, this is the young man that's come about the coals." Offered a New Experience "Supposing I give you your supper," said the tired-looking woman, "what will you do to earn it?" "Madam," said Meandering Mike, "I'll give you do opportunity of seen' a man go 'tro whole meal wilt'out findin' fault wilt a single ting." The woman thought a minute, and then told him to come in and she'd set the tble. Worth Knowing. If a package of value is to be sent a great distance, it is an excellent idea to provide the box with a cover of unbleached muslin securely sewed in place. If the shelves and floors of closets are wiped with water which is hot with cayenne pepper, insects will be kept away. Borax and alum are good to put into the cracks. Word of Popular Origin. Gob is an old English word, meaning a lump or chunk of something, and was sometimes applied to money in a slangy sense; a gob of money, as we now sometimes hear a wad of money. Gob is of uncertain origin, but the word gobble, as to gobble one's food, or to eat by chunks, evidently has the same root. Shake speare speaks of cutting something into gobbets, meaning small pieces.

It {s to be hoped that every year the students of the University of Chi- cago will become thoroughly acquaint: ed with tle work in Hyde Park, for they exert an uplifting influence over the race members located here. Since the program a year ago two brothers, very nice young men, have entered a good business, have a nice clean office and are prospering. ‘This institution stands for everything that means the upbullding and the saving of not only Negro youth but any that need to be saved. It is democratic, socially. The sewing school estab: lished here will make the young wom- en and girls independent. The cro- chet class is taught by a competent teacher. What ts needed here is the same as any institution whose bead is of the race, namely, appreciation and the hearty, unprejudiced support of the race, foremost and first of all. Women In Haly and Guein. Even tn the middle classes the wife in Italy or Spain fs often made to feel that she is an Inferior creature, whose only proper sphere is the home al- though she is allowed to share her husband's pleasures to a greater ex- tent than the German frau. But, as a rule, her home life Is by no means unhappy, for both Spaniards and Ital- Jans of the middle and upper classes spend much of their leisure time with thelr families. Old Lady Some Pedestrian, In 1851 an old Cornish fishwite of eighty-four, named Mary Callinacky walked from Penzance to London to see the great exhibition in Hyde park. The distance fs nearly 300 miles. ‘The old Indy created a scusation and was noticed by Queen Victoria, She had vowed to call on the lord mayor be- fore returning, and she carried out her intention, but, of course, was not ‘permitted to walk back, Judges Have to Listen to This.

Interesting Relle Now In the Possee -slon of the Sole Survivor of the Crew of Missouri River Freight- 6 GF the Keng Ado. __A thrilling story of life on the Mis- sour! river when Omaha was a young -elty and a river of much significance was retold the other day -by Capt, Roger J. Teters, first mate -of the river steamship Stephen A. Bell, which caught on fire and was burned on a sand bar just across from Qmaha in the summer of 1859. ‘The name Plate of the boat, a valuable relic of silver, was found [by workmen grad- ing up a boulevard on the low land just east of Omani, in Council Bluffs. Captain Teters came from his home at Marshall, Mo., to get the relle. “I was a young ian then,” sald the captain, “but I had lved on the river all my life. I was born at Miamf, Mo., on the banks of the river. That was my first trip up the river. We came from St. Louis with a boatload of knockdown houses for Sloux City. ‘They were houses built at the yards and put together on the frontier much Ike a puzzle, “We got as far kts Omaha without trouble, making a fast trip of it. We stopped several hers there. Omatim was a lively, grow{og efty’ then, Our captain, a man noined Sullivan, met a friend of his tn|charge of another bort, and we decided to race to Sloux City, a trip of a little more than a day for us. We had just started when there was a muffied explosion in the ‘engine room and the crew rushed out with a ery of ‘Fire! “Wo beached the boat on the bar across the river and a little above Omaha. By that time the boat was a mass of flames and we had to escape the best we could. | The boiler explod- ed and killed twd of the heavers, The explosion had been caused by too hot fires, prepared to get up steam for the race. Dofpre we caught a down-rlver boat {he captain disap- peared and we never heard what be came of him. Hel was to blame for the loss, as freight boats were never to be raced, that| amusement being left to the passenger crafts. The boat was beached ih seven feet of wa- ter and we never tecovered a thing.” Teters, who latbr became a cap- tain and was for fears on tho river, fs the only living|survivor of the Wreck, he sald. When he heard of the charred remains of|a boat being found by the graders ho|immediately came to Omaha to obtain the name plate {€ possible. ‘The plate was found, the workmen gazing dt it with interest for a few minutes land then throwing it aside as a worthless plece of rusted metal.

B. Kilchenmann| a Swiss engineer, finds that trains going with current encounter less resistance than in open air up to 15% miles an hour, but at higher speeds or in the oppoalte direc- tion the resistance fa much greater than outside. Coasting by gravity down the 7 per 1,000 maximum gradient, a train, even though going with the cur- rent, ‘cannot exceed 35 miles an hour on account of the braking by the air. Witv:a: Banian: Aihiavkiann Out of mere curiosity I asked a wide- ly known Philadelphia banker who keeps an advertisement in the news- paper every day, year in and year out, why he did it? “W'm interested in a street raflway company,” he aaswered, “and our en- gineers prove to me that a vast deal of power is wasted In stopping ané starting the cars. ‘That jerky motion {s a source of great expense. 1 apply that principle to my banking busi- ness. I get farther.and go faster by a steady pull than by a snecession of Jerks. I spend money for constant rather than for occasional publicity, because steady pulling hauls tho big- ger load.”—Gerard in Philadelphia Ledger. Women in Turkey. Dr. Mary Ellls Patrick of Boston, president of the American College for Girls in Constantinople, who is now in this country, says that she finds Turkish girls apt pupils and yery anxious to learn. As many wom- én are now being called to take the places of men who have fallen in Dattle, the value of an education is botter appreciated than ever before. Today there are several thousand Mohammedan gipls and women at- tending the university. One of the girls who left the school less than a year ago 1s now chief editorial writer on the Tannin, the leading Young ‘Turk publication. She has written two novels dealing with the political aituation in Turkey. Her Interpretation, At a certain school the mistress, feeling well disposed toward her class during a hot sfternoon, sent one of her puptis to buy a pound of plums from a frult vender. “And be sure, Nellie,” she remarked, as she handed a dime to the little girl, “to pinch one or two of the plums be- fore buying any|to see if they are ripe.” Prezently Nellip returned to the classroom, her | face wreathed in emiles and presented the mistress not only with a large bag of plums but ajso with the dine, For some time ‘she could do nothing but talk incoherently, Then: “Instoad of pinching only one ot two as you suggested,” she sald, laughing, “I waltéd till the man wasn't looking, and pinched a-whole bagtull” Sist St. Garage and Repair Shop ee Ores gu aeney ya tau on ar 12 East Sist Street CHICAGO | a BARBER SHOP PORTERS AND SHOE SHINERS Increase your income, make every caller a customer by using Fred H.

Seeking a Husband In 1775, A gentleman of honor and property, having in his disposal at present a young lady of good family, with a for- tune of £60,000, on her marriage with his approbation would be very happy to treat with a man of fashion and family, who may think it worth his while to give the advertiser a gratu- ity of £6,000 on the day of the mar rlage—From the London Post of Jan- wary 21, 1775 MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC "All Passes, Art Alone Endures" JOTTINGS THEATRICAL AND OTHERWISE. The Grand "Have you been to the Grand?" is a question that immediately follows "How do you like Chicago?" to the hosts of summer visitors. Perhaps it is because there is no other theater like it in the country, or perhaps it is because Chicago people are always sure of showing the visitors a pleasant evening. It is because of this loyal support, the Grand is not only able to keep open during the hot summer nights, but is always crowded. The Three Juggling Jordans opened the bill the first half of the week, and did some clever club work. Claus and Radeliff sang a few songs passably well and danced much better. Cliff Dean Company presented favorably a little playlet that has been seen at this house before, entitled "The Burglar's Nerve." Brown and Barrows, in "The Girl and the Pearl" were nifty and refined. Their line of talk and songs was far above the average. A man in the balcony offered the only criticism when he yelled: "What are you whispering about?" They had a hard time throwing their voices over the footlights. The Japanese troupe was great. They are a wonderful people when it comes to acrobatic stunts. The one big feature of the evening was Foster's "The Railroad Porter," which kept the audience in convulsions of laughter. Too much praise cannot be given Mr. Foster for his enterprise, and we trust that he will keep up the good work. The States. "Seats all sold for this performance," was the sign displayed many times last week at the newest of Chicago theaters. The States, and the reason for this great rush was the excellent program offered for the small sum of ten cents. Two or three big time acts were on the bill, besides five reels of interesting pictures, to say nothing of the superb music furnished by Joe Jordan's famous Pekin orchestra. If there ever was a doubt as to the success of this house it has vanished long ago. The States is here to stay, and keeps getting better every day. The Monogram Every once in a while the management of the Monogram puts one over on their competitors, and this week there is a laugh every minute, and sometimes more. Can you imagine anything funnier than to see "Casey Jones," familiar to all Chicagoans on the South Side, as he can be seen nightly walking up and down the streets with his accordion and little tin box filled with sandwiches, singing, and crying out "I have fish sandwiches for five cents and I have egg sandwiches two for five cents." He is in a big act that Billy Crumly is presenting with such howling success. Barton and Picks put over "The Minstrel Band," "Robert E. Lee," and do some buck dancing worth while. George Jones could have given Hermann the Great some pointers in the magical art (if Hermann would have stood for them). Purcell and Thornton sang some old favorites, such as "Late Hours," "Rag Time Violin" and "Back to Carolina," and were well received. All in all it was the best bill the Monogram has had for some time. The Lux. Lovers of first-run pictures have long ago wended their way to the pretty Lux Theater, where even on the hottest nights it is pleasant and something homelike about the place bids you to come night after night. The music is far above the average, and the class of entertainers is the best in the city, and all of this for five cents. Who wouldn't be a "Luxite?" Benefital at the Pekin. Benefit at the Pekin. The "Benefit" is the newest creation by the peer of theatrical managers, Mr. Frank P. George. What does beneficial mean? Why, it means the gathering of the greatest array of artists to be had on the afternoon of Thursday, August 29, at the Pekin Theater. The object of this monster entertainment is to show to our visitors that Chicago is the musical center of the country; and to that end Mr. Frank P. George has secured the services of such eminent artists as Will Dorsey and Company, twenty people, presenting "A Night in a Cabaret," Miss Sinclair White, violinist; Fenton Johnson in readings, Marie Burton-Hyram in songs, Porter and Dewey in an original musical skit, Lottie Grady in impersonations, Lizzie Wallace in the "Dance of the Sphinx," Hugh Buchannon in a pianologue, Rena Blunt in songs, Miller and Lyles in nonsense; Pekin Trio, Davies and Walker in a comedy sketch, Abbie Mitchell, queen of song; "Kid" Brown in musical ditties, Zook and Bernard, rapid-fire artists, George Hall, Byron Brothers, and ten other big acts; and, for good measure, Frank P. George, better known as the "Black Belasco," will appear with Joe Sheoarcry, the incomparable monologue, in a laughable skit entitled "Pals"; Rankin and White are now being besieged for tickets, and by the time the doors are open there will not be an available seat in the house. Is it to be wondered at with such an array of talent? YOUNG LADY WANTED AT ONCE.

On last Tuesday evening Mime Brown was the hostess to a large concourse of friends invited in honor of Mrs. Elnora McGwine and Mrs. Agnes Walker, both of Salt Lake City. Whist and music were the pleasures of the evening. Nine tables were pressed into service for one and a half hours, after which a musical program was rendered. Among the contributors were Mrs. McGwine, Mr. George Garner, Jr., Mrs. Delpha Boger Anderson, Mr. Charles Reese and Mine. Brown. Miss Marion Garner, with much skill, presided at the piano. Then came the awarding of prizes. Mrs. Kelly of Los Angeles, first prize for ladies; Mr. J. J. Hurd, first prize for men. Mr. S. C. Hall of St. Paul believed some prize better than none and captured the booby. At a late hour with a seeming reluctance all departed for home, promising to gather all of their friends together for the fall's chief musical by Mine.

The lecture for the boys last week was by Mr. Thompson of the Light Bearers. The department's new picture machine was run by John Evans and John Peoples, showing a very laughable set of comic pictures. The boys will hear a lecture each Thursday night by different prominent speakers, and see pictures when good ones can be bad. All boys are invited to come at 7 o'clock Thursdays to hear these men and women and at 3:30 on Sundays to the Bible class. The religious committee is securing first-rate speakers for the Sunday 4 o'clock services. Men will hear helpful messages and refreshing music if they will come here at that time. It seems to be very fashionable nowadays for all the men to come out of the meeting and parade to the dining room for one of those good dinners.

When seen by a reporter for the Defender Mrs. White said: "Yes, she's married, and we—well, I'm happy. Her father does not know, as he is out on the road with a paving company and it is impossible for us to reach him, but he won't mind that." "How long did you know the barber?" "Not long, I guess; about two months." Miss White is the violinist who won a gold, a silver and a diamond medal at the Chicago Musical Collage, where she was educated. The barber is "just a white man," it is said, not well educated in his native tongue. People will generally take their troubles to God if they haven't enough money to drown them.—Waldo Baston.

RACE DOING WELL. Young People Pride Themselves on Having More High School Students Than Any Other City in the State. By Mrs. Fields. Peoria, Aug. 22.—Mrs. Sarah Richardson, of 521 W. Douglas street, gave a beautiful birthday party on last Wednesday evening in honor of her little son, Fuller Eliga, it being his seventh birthday. A long table was set out on her beautiful lawn beautifully decorated with flowers. The invited guests were: Joseph Fields, Marshall Page, Earnest Page, Vance Boon, Charley Boon, Daniel Boon, Russell Page, George Dudley, Bruce Journey, Marguerite Dudley, Muriel Journey, Julia Fields, Della Page. Mrs. F. D. Banks returned home from Omaha, Neb., a few days ago, where she had been visiting friends. Freddie, her little son, who has spent the summer in the west, returned home with mother. Mrs. Birdie West and Mrs. Blanch Bailey left Sunday morning for Benton Harbor, Mich., where they will remain until late in the fall. We are delighted to announce the wedding of Mr. J. W. Martin, of Litchfield, Ky., and Miss Wanna E. Boon, of Peoria, Ill. Mr. Martin is one of the leading young men of Litchfield, Ky., and Miss Boon is one of Peoria's most highly respected young-ladies. The marriage will take place in early fall. The Defender wishes the young couple a long and prosperous life. Miss Wanna Boon, Miss Gladys Page, Miss Sophia Gibson, Miss Jessie Bailey were very pleasant callers at Mrs. McCullough's Sunday evening. Miss Gladys Page gave a slumber party at her mother's residence, 506 Douglas street, Sunday evening. This is a beginning of a progressive house party by Miss Gladys Page, Miss Wanna Boon, Miss Sophia Gibson, Miss Jessie Bailey. Mrs. Thomas Walters of Galesburg, Ill., spent a few hours in Peoria last Sunday, the guest of Mr. E. P. Richardson. Mr. Walters met Mrs. Walters in Peoria. Mrs. Walters was in the southern part of Illinois, attending a convention. Mr. Walters has been on the police force 18 years and is well liked by all who know him. Mr. Albert Ford returned from the east for a few days last week on business. Mrs. U. Shoats and Mrs. A. L. Davidson of Hillsboro and Mrs. H. Ford spent last week in Galesburg, Ill. Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Shoats both reside in Peoria. Miss Grace Hagan of Jollet, Ill., will arrive in Peoria next week. Authoc of "The Rubalvat." Edward Fitzgerald was utterly careless of his fame. He lived to be an old man, yet not one in a million of his fellow countrymen regarded him as a poet, even if they had heard his name mentioned as an old chum of Alfred Tennyson. Yet he wrote "The Rubalayat of Omar Khayyam" long years before his death. He kept it "chucking about," apparently not thinking it worth publishing, and when he did print a few copies nobody took any notice of it. Today "Omar" is one of the most famous poems in the world. FEMININE CONTROL. A man very often gets so drunk that he can't talk; but a woman never goes this far.-Waldo Baston. --- CALL: FOR LEGIBLE SIGNATURE Business Concerns and Hotels, as Well as Legal Firms, Find Themselves Compelled to Insist on That. "Kindly favor us with a legible signature," is an appeal now often encountered. It appears on the letterheads of many a legal firm and is conspicuously printed on contracts and other important documents. In hotels this request is sometimes used as a heading on each page of the register or printed on a card. It hangs in plain view of the counter. A room clerk in one of the big hotels declares that the task of deciphering signatures has reached a crista. "It has got to the point where we couldn't bluff on names any longer," he said. "In these days of constant telephoning and telegraphing we've simply got to be sure that every guest's name is correctly entered on our books or there's bound to be trouble. "Of course a successful hotel clerk must have a gift for deciphering bad signatures just as he must have a good memory for names and faces, but when a man we've never seen before comes in and scrawls a long wavy line on the register without a single letter plain enough to even guess at, how are we going to call him by name the next minute? He may have important mail waiting for him or he may be telephoned for any minute, so our request for a legible signature arises out of a necessity." A member of a law firm on whose letterheads is printed "A legible signature is requested," says that these few words have saved his firm much trouble. Papers no longer have to be returned for resigning, as was formerly the case, because the first signature could not be read. Before this request for a legible signature was made important legal documents often had to be entirely rewritten because one of the parties refused to accept the signature of some of the others on account of their illegibility. A large employer of labor has made it a rule recently to have all applications for work brought to him. He orders each letter folded so that the signature alone shall show. He goes over these, picks out the signatures that appeal to him and gives these applicants precedence over the others. Brief But Neat. During the journey of a royal train from Balmoral to Windsor the ordinary passenger traffic was very much disorganized, and express trains were suddenly "drawn up," to the no small annoyance of commercial men and others, who could truly say that with them "time was money." An express train between Perth and Aberdeen was a great sufferer in this respect, and a certain commercial traveler was quite boisterous in his denunciation of the frequent stops. At last when he had tired his fellow-passengers with his grumbling, he flopped down the window and shouted: "Guard! I say, guard!" "Yes, sir," answered the official addressed, approaching the compartment. "Oh, guard, this is simply disgusting! Why all these stops? What's up, man, what's up?" said the commercial traveler, in bantering tones. The guard's reply was brief, neat and certainly to the point, for he simply answered: "The signal." The "commercial's window was closed with a bang. It Happened In the Suburbs She was running across lots to catch the 1:25 train for New York. It was precisely 1:24½ and the train already was panting into the station. At her heels was a youngster making as good time as he could, and he was crying. By the time she reached the station steps she was a good one hundred yards ahead of the little boy, but he kept at it, crying louder and louder. The conductor was holding the train for her. "Madam," said the conductor, as she climbed up the car steps, "who is that little boy?" "My youngest," she said perfectly breathless. "What's he crying for?" "I didn't have time to kiss him goodby." "Well, you get right off this train and kiss him. We can wait better than he can." The conductor stood with his hand on the signal cord while the operation was performed, and then the train went off, leaving the youngster happy and smiling.-New York Sun. Makes Body Transparent. A new method of giving medical students instruction which, it is said, will largely obviate the necessity of dissection, will be put into practice at the Hahnemann Medical college, Philadelphia, at, the beginning of the next term. Physicians and surgeons connected with the department of anatomy are now perfecting the process, which originates through the recent discovery by a German scientist of a fluid by the use of which the human body can be rendered transparent. The fluid, which is composed of several oils, turns the flesh into a sort of transparente jelly when injected, enabling the student to study the veins, muscles and bones far better, it is asserted, than if they resorted to the dissecting knife. It is said to be one of the most valuable discoveries in medical science of late years. Guard the Tongue. If anger arise in thy breast, instantly seal up thy lips, and let it not go forth; for, like a fire when it wants vent, it will suppress itself. It is good in a fever to have a tender and smooth tongue; for, if it be rough and distempered there, it is an ill sign, but here is an ill cause. Angry passion is like a fire, and angry words are like breath to fan them; together they are like steel and filmt, sending out fire by mutual collision—Jeremy Taylor. Warm Epitaph for Ingersoll After his lecture on Robert Burns, on one occasion, the colonel was approached by a Scotchman, who said: "Colonel, the title of your lecture should be 'The Epiphant of Your Tombstone.'"
