London, August 25.—The man in effort to shake hands with him. Johnson was almost smothered by the mob that got on all parts of the car, and the police had great difficulty in clearing a pathway for the pugilist to the entrance. Cheered by Theater Crowd. Johnson and his friends marched in under the leadership of Manager Loxer of the hall. The lights were down, but the audience got a glimpse of Johnson and cheered frantically for several minutes. They also shouted words of encouragement to the pugilist, a few dissentients vainly protesting by hissing. Johnson stood smiling and bowing for several minutes. Then he left and tried to escape the crowd by taking a taxicab at another entrance. This was useless, however, and the police had another job in ridding the car of those who were clinging to it. When at length the car was free and started hundreds ran alongside of it for some distance. "My only crime is that I beat Jeffries." When he left there were scenes similar to those at his departure from Euston hall. Seeing that he was standing under the flag of the United States he stopped talking and had it removed, and the French flag was hung in its place. tion of good music, so intellect must feel its reception, and to appreciate this music it must be studied intelligently. After the coming season Mrs. Hackley will devote her energies and time towards educating the masses of her people in music. She will have a Memorial Normal School Voice Culture institute in Chicago, especially to train vocal teachers for the colored schools, and she will hold vocal institutes in various sections of the country. Nearly the whole of last year was given to her Musical Mission. She instructed nearly 64,000 in her method of voice-culture, in one day teaching 3,000 school children lessons in breathing and the elements of voice culture. Even in the rural schools the children grasped every point that she presented, and the teachers report that the lessons will never be forgotten. Mr. R. J. B. Ellington, 3515 Rhodes avenue, recently went to Colorado Springs enroute to Yellowstone Park on his vacation, but was suddenly called back to this city because of the illness of his son, whom he finally removed to a Michigan resort in quest of health. While in Michigan, Mr. Ellington is indulging in fishing as a pastime and as evidence of the fact, The Defender editor received a large alligator from the lucky gentleman this week. Paris, Aug. 29.—Jack Johnson wants to become a real Frenchman. Through his counselors the champion heavy-weight pugilist today filed declaration of his intentions to become a French subject. The Eighth Regiment, I. N. G., will leave for Springfield tonight. The regiment, under the command of Col. John R. Marshall, will leave over the C. and A. and will reach camp early, Sunday-morning. The band, which is in Baltimore, will join them in Springfield. The only music on the get-away night will be from the drum and bugle corps. London, August 25.—The man in the street showed tonight in an emphatic manner that he does not share in the hostility to Jack Johnson, the American pugilist. He regards the Champion as the victim of persecution which is due to color prejudice. Notwithstanding the announcement that Johnson's appearance had been postponed, the Euston music hall and South London music hall, where he had been billed to appear, were densely crowded tonight, and there were great mobs outside of each. Johnson's first appearance was at the Euston. Here there was a great uproar from the moment the curtain went up. The audience was determined to have Johnson, and stood up and shouted for him. "Boo" Women from Stage. They refused to listen to two comediennes who had refused to appear if Johnson did, but in consequence of the announcement of the postponement of his appearance had agreed to go on. The audience drowned the efforts of these two young women with whistles, cat calls and hisses, and they were obliged to retire, and the whole show was held up. Presently a roar of cheering outside the hall announced that something was happening. Johnson's car had arrived with the big Negro, who was all smiles. The crowd yelled with delight at Johnson's appearance and climbed all over the car in an MME. HACKLEY AT HAMPTON Open Great Summer Music School with Battle of Voices— When Battle Smoke Cleared Away There Were No Casual- ties—All Sections Stood Ready the Great Big Cann- doring. Having Visited All Cities in U. S. A. She Has Decided That Chicago, the Home of Culture and Refinement of the Race, the Place to Have Great Voice Culture College—Has Instructed More Students Than Boston Musical Conservatory in Its Sixty Years of Existence. Hampton, Va., August 29.—Mrs. E. Axalila Hackley is at Hampton Institute for a month to conduct a summer class in Oratorio, concluding with an "Oratorio Demonstration," which will include a musical "Tug of War" between soprans, altos, tenors and bassos in oratorios, recitatives and solos, a musical "Spell Down" between the boys and girls on the oratorios "The Creation" and "The Messiah." Mrs. Hackley has made six-foot charts of the music and matter to be taught, and the students will have absorbed a great deal of information with very little effort through these. As the study of arithmetic cultivates habits of thought, so the intelligent study of music for the Negro as well as other races cultivates abstract mental habits which will control thoughts and emotions, to say nothing of the employment of the idle hour. There is no people so completely under the power of music and no people who could be so moulded through the power of music. She recommends the study of oratorio especially because the religious character of oratorio music appeals to the masses of Negroes. They sing this class of music with marvelous feeling when they have absorbed its beauties and conquered its difficulties. An intellect is put into the construc- There were similar scores at the South London music hall. Here Johnson made a speech in which he said, among other things: R. J. B.

The band entered, dressed in white uniforms, and were given an immense ovation which lasted for ten minutes. When Bandmaster Berry raised his baton for the first number he was greeted with an ovation that has never been given any musician before. Some of the best musical critics were present and all were unanimous in pronouncing the band the greatest aggregation of musicians ever got together. KNIGHTS TEMPLAR BANQUET.

It probably will startle the world when it realizes that the race has acquired over $1,000,000,000 in real estate.

ILLIOIS FEDERATION WOMEN'S CLUB RE-ELECT PRESIDENT Mrs. Ida M. Lewis Re-elected President of Women's Clubs for the State of Illinois—Dr. Mary Fitzbutler Chairman Executive Board—Many Vice Presidents: Mrs. Althida Moore of Rock Island, Mrs. Ella Groff of Monmouth, Mrs. Arzella Taylor of Danville and Mrs. Ella Woods of Moline. "DOWN WITH JIM CROW" THEIR MOTTO First Rec. Sec'y, Mrs. Emma S. Kennedy, Chicago; 2nd, Mrs. D. Lash, Monmouth; Con. Sec'y, Mrs. Carrie L. Hamilton, Springfield: Treasurer, Mrs. Julia Gibson, Peoria; Editress, Mrs. Carrie Horton; and Mrs. E. S. Davis, Nat. Organizer—Were All Unanimous in Denouncing the Jim Crow Government at Washington. The Illinois Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, which closed its 14th annual session at Springfield last week, showed splendid growth and progress. One hundred and eleven delegates from seventeen towns were present aside from many visitors. Two hundred and fifty-seven dollars were paid into the treasury, from dues and the Ways and Means department, Mrs. Belle Tayler, Rock Island, Chairman. The Federation endorsed unanimously the Lincoln semi-centennial celebration to be held in 1915, and its commissioners, four of whom, i. e. Bishop Fallows, Mrs. Susan L. Lejeroe-Dahl, Senator Dailey and Major Ford, made splendid addresses before the convention. Mrs. Mary F. Waring, Ch. Executive Board, responded in a very pleasant manner. The Federation sent letters of protest against the unjust and uncalled for segregation and increased prejudice at Washington to each Illinois senator, congressman, the President and Mrs. Wilson. Two hundred copies were printed and placed in the hands of every delegate with instructions that every club in the state follow the example of the Federation. Ex-Senator T. T. Allain was unliving in his efforts to make the visitors feel at home, not only in his cordial address of welcome, but in getting full reports published daily in the Illinois State Register, also in distributing hundreds of copies of valuable literature to the newly enfranchised delegates, for which he received the hearty thanks of the convention. Mrs. Joergen-Dahl threw open the doors of her beautiful home on Wednesday afternoon, and bade the delegates and visitors-welcome in an informal reception. The next meeting will be held at Moline, Aug. 19, 1914. FREE TO CHJCAGO DEFENDER SUBSCRIBERS.

Great Excitement Wednesday Night at 32d and State Streets—5,000 People Gather to Hear Jonah Tell About Jim Crowing the Negroes—Jonah Is Doing More and Not as Much as Socialists to Stir the Colored Man to Demand His Rights—Jonah Not Even Doing as Much as the Irish in Ireland to Secure Home Rule. POLICE MUST RESPECT FREE SPEECH. Police Want to Try Jonah for Treason—Why Did They Not Try Ben Tillman When He Incited Riot in Chicago Five Years Ago?—Why Did Not the Federal Government Impeach Blease When He Said "To Hell with the Constitution"?—Big Mass Meeting Sunday Afternoon and Evening—Prominent White Women and Men Will Speak at Lincoln Garden, 29th and State Streets, at 2 p. m. and at 7:30—Brass Band to Accompany Singing. MOTHER JACKSON AND JONAH WILL SPEAK. Wednesday evening when Jonah and Mother Jackson were speaking to an audience of about two thousand people at 32d and State streets, telling of the damnable crimes committed on the black man, and how right here in Chicago you can't buy a first class ticket over the railroads going South, etc., two plain clothes officers climbed into his wagon and asked him to show them his permit. These officers knew well that permits were suspended since the first week in August and one has only to go to the station in which district he is to speak and ask for permission. Jonah did this and told the officers so. robbed by the railroads and steam ship companies taking their hard earned dollars and giving them in return second class accommodations for first class prices. Jonah is right for his stand, as he said to a reporter of The Defender. If that is treason let them make the most of it. Statement by Jonah: For five or six times the police have been constantly giving me trouble by asking me for a permit, and chasing me from corner to corner. I left every corner when they told me to do so. At last. I went down to see the chief of police. He said that the per All his speeches at this corner and other corners were simply speeches like those made in Ireland asking the British crown to give them their rights. Our Irish police should remember their condition in the old sod; they should remember the Orangemen; they should remember Robert Emmet and others of their countrymen, and remember that the Negroes feel the sting just as much as they. We are demanding our rights and we will have nothing less. President Wilson slapped the Jim Crow signs down in Washington and the Negro race will slap them down in the South. The Jews in America Many bonehead American Negroes will tell you what's the use to fight for our rights; we will ask the question what's the use of the American Jew fighting for the Jews in Russia? If they can afford to stand here and fight the Negroes living in the North where conditions are a little better can afford to ad the same. Tired of Being Robbed. The Negroes are tired of being PHYLLIS WHEATLEY GLIDE SEPT. 8. By Edward Lewis Davis. Miss Jennie E.

Jonah is right for his stand, as he said to a reporter of The Defender. If that is treason let them make the most of it. Statement by Jonah: For five or six times the police have been constantly giving me trouble by asking me for a permit, and chasing me from corner to corner. I left every corner when they told me to do so. At last, I went down to see the chief of police. He said that the permit business was done away with and that it was free speech as long as there were no other charges made. I told him that tonight the police would lock me up if I did not have a permit. He said just tell them to call me up or go ahead and let them arrest. When the police came to me they said nothing but asked for the permit. I told them what the chief had said. He replied all he wanted was a permit. I replied I would like to know who is chief of police. If you are over the chief I will obey you, and if the chief is over you I will obey him. All I want to know WHAT IS THE CHARGES TO STOP SPEAKING? THIS IS MY RIGHT TO KNOW, and I suppose the "wagon" is the only thing to find this out. The victory achieved by Dr. C. E. Bentley and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with Mr. O. G. Villard and others, for the removal of Jim Crow signs in Washington will be celebrated by a praise meeting, thanking God for His wonderful work. We hope to have Dr. Bentley present.

The National Negro Business League, ropresenting twelve state leagues, G00 local leagues and 3,000 Negro business and professional men {n all parts of the United States, takes this occasion of the fourteenth annual ineeting to call he attention of the people of America and of the world to the substantial progress of the Ne- "gro race In these frst fifty years of its freedom. Starting fifty years ago, with a population of 4,500,000, of whorn 3,960,000 wore slaves, we number to- day more than 10,000,000 free people— a nation within @ nation, separate in ts peculiar racial Interests, but inex- irleably interwoven with “all other races and peoples in all that concerns the progress and welfare of our com- mon country, Starting half a cen- tury ago, without experience, without education andywithout property, we to- day own and pay taxes on 20,000,000 acres of land, an area as large as the state of South Carolina; we own and control 100 insurance companies, 300 drug stores, sixty-four banks, 450 newspapers and more than 20,000 other businesses of yarious kinds, and the total wealth of American Negroes in land, nomes, schools, churches and other forms of property amounts to more than $70,000,000. Ia submitting this brief record of our material prog- ress We do not overlook the advance made in other directions. Fitty years ago mote (ran 99 per cent of the race was wholly illiterate.

The program rendered by the student teachers attending the University of Chicago was excellent. The people from now on will look forward to these meetings annually. Professor Hughes spoke very encouragingly of the work being carried on in Hyde Park. Work is necessary because of the fact that home training of children is now neglected. The sewing school will begin its "regular course of instruction the second week in September. All women and girls who are really desirous of improving their condition in the struggle for a livelihood have advantages offered at this little institution that are not given any place else in the city. Every race-loving man and woman should visit this place and take pride in what is being accomplished by a young woman of the race. Race-promotion education is very badly needed, however. There are men and women who know how to appreciate such efforts the wonder is that they are so slow in taking an interest in this work. Miss Clottee E. Scott, president.

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.

Mr. Anderson thinks harder of the affair from the fact that he had sat in a dentist chair for two hours and 20 minutes after his accident. When seen by a reporter he was resting well. MRS.ED WRIGHT GIVEN BIRTH- DAY PARTY. Mrs. E. H. Wright returned from her trip to Benton Harbor, Mich., where she has spent a month at the western Michigan resort.

On being presented by Mr. Frank Hamilton, who presided, Mrs. Wright made a witty speech, in which she thanked her many friends for their remembrance of her, and hoped she would have the pleasure of meeting them again, as she was not above having a birthday every year. Mr. Hill of Indianapolis, and had a son "My Opinion of the West Michigan Miss Nora daynes sang two beautiful solos. Mr. William Cowan made a very pleasant address suitable to the occasion.

The probability that we get snatches of sleep at odd moments when we suppose ourselves to have remained continuously awake is supported by the phenomena of dreams. Mark Twain accounted for his own appearing visitor" by the belief that he had seen a short nap; and many have explained visions of ghosts as due to dreams during such short naps.

THE CHICAGO DEPENDER BRAVE OHIO WOMAN WHIPS VICIOUS DOG Animal Bites Her Maid and Threatens Daughter in a Railway Station. Cleveland, Ohio.—In the dim interior of the Union Station Mrs. T. H.

The battle, in which Mrs. Street had no weapons, but her hands, was wilt 20 Gripped His Throat. nessed by a crowd of passengers from a New York limited train and several hundred persons waiting to depart. Diamond finished and costly milestone was bedraged to her mair. Street wrestled with the dog, upon whose throat she fixed a grip that did not relax until Patrolman Skala came to her aid. The maid had fled screaming, and Mrs. Street's daughter, a girl of about ten years, was trying to help her mother when the patrolman arrived. The owner of the animal, Lucy Doris, who is housekeeper for a family of the name of Frazer in Salem, Ghio, added her shrill protests to the bedlam. She declared that her "Maje" was hoffessive and that he should not be choked. By this time "Maje" was test losing his interest in life. Mrs. Street's grip was slowly but surely choking the life out of him. "Maje" was sent to the health department, where he was placed under observation to see if he develops rabies, and Mrs. Street drove her maid, daughter, the patrolman and the owner of the animal to headquarters. The party scrambled into Mrs. Street's automobile in the presence of a crowd which jammed the roadway. Formal complaint was locked and Mrs. Street drove off, seeking a physician to attend the maid's injury. "IT AIN'T ME." SAYS KEILY Slater Thought Corpse Was Brother, but Happy Reunion Proves She Was Mistaken. New York.—When Mrs. Christina O'Brien read a notice in the newspapers that James J. Kelly, sixty-one years old, had died in St. Michael's hospital, Newark, she went to the hospital and identified the body as that of her long-lost brother and had it sent to her home at 619 John street, Kearney, N. J. Mrs. O'Brien called a priest and an undertaker, sent out notices and telephoned to all friends and relatives that the wound would be next day. Among those to whom she sent a notice was John Thompson, a contracting painter for whom her, brother had worked. When Thompson received the notice by mail he went over to a house his men were painting and called James J. Kelly off the job. "I guess they have you dead up at your sister's house, Jim," he said. "We better go up and see about it." So they went up to Mrs. O'Brien's house and the servant ushered them into the front room, where several women were moaning over the coffin. Kelly tiptoed in and took a look at the corpse. "That ain't me," he said, just as Mrs. O'Brien entered the room. Brother and sister fell in each other's arms and later the body was sent to the morgue in Harrison to await a claimant. FIGHTS SNAKE; SAVES MASTER Dog Seizes and Kills a Rattler as Reptile is About to Clearfield, Pa.—Tippy, a little mongrel dog, saved the life of his master, Frank G. Harris, one time county treasurer, the other day while the latter was on a fishing trip to Moose Creek, near here, by attacking a big rattlesnake that was about to strike Harris in the face. Mr. Harris, desiring to reach the other side of the stream, started to run, and he reached the far end of the log a big rattler raised his head directly in front of his face and drew back to strike. "Tippy," who had swam the creek, darted at the snake and obtained a hold just back of the head. His keen teeth made short work of the rattler. Dodging Snake, Cyclist is Hurt. Lawrenceburg, Ind.-Bernard J. Knepke, aged twenty-one years, was coating down a steep incline on his motorcycle as a large blacksnake crawled across the road. Knepke attempted to make the machine jump over the snake to avoid getting its body tangled in the wheels. The motorcycle went over a 25-foot embankment and Knepke had both wrists broken. HOME OF MAD KING Place the Most Enchanting of Fairy Castles. Residence of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria is Grand Court But Withal is a Very Sad and Lonely Place. Berlin.—Neuschwanstem is a dream tale, a fairy tale castle of the most tautless kind, the only thing lacking is the memories of the beautiful knights and ladies and the court fool who no-one ever lived here but a lonely, mistress, Ludwig II. of Havaria, called the Mad King. Although he was so lonely, he loved solitude and it was very seldom that he ever had guests and then they were mostly men, for Ludwig hated all women except two, one his cousin, Elizabeth of Austria, who was shot in Geneva a number of years ago, and the other was Marie, Antoinette, to whose memory Ludwig was devoted. We left Munich early in the morning and we arrived at Fussen at noon. The distance was not great, but the train goes in a circle' instead of on a direct line. It was a wonderful ride and all the way along we saw the Bavarian Alps sometimes on one side of the car window and sometimes on the other, for they switched about like magic. Fussen is a funny little village situated at the foot of the mountains. Here we hired a rig that was to take us to Hohenschwangan, where the castles of Hohenschwangan and Neuschwänstein are situated. Our driver was a mountain peasant with a huge goiter on his neck. This disease is very common in all the highland regions of Bavaria and Switzerland, and comes from the water of the country. Our rig was not exactly dashing. It was intended for two horses, and as our driver only possessed one horse he hitched it on one side and the horse had to walk sideways to keep the rig from tipping over. The country from Fussen to Hohen- schwangan was perfectly flat, and we NEAR, FUSSEN NEUSWANSTEIN crossed over several little streams and passed several beautiful lakes. The driver explained everything to us in a language that even a northern German could not understand, and he flourished his whip around and tossed the feather in his Alpine hat. When we came near Hoehenschwangan we caught our first glimpse of Neuschwainstein, standing white and dazzling against the green of the mountains. It is a much smaller looking castle than one would think from its pictures, but it looked so complete, so compact that it seemed exactly the right size. We lunched at the inn before starting up the mountain and our waiter got into that he did not think we could get into the castle as it was an off season. However, we determined to try and we started up the little ziggle foot path up the mountain. After we had climbed and climbed we came to a fine boulevard, which led directly to the castle gate. Looking over the wall built at the castle gate we got a splendid view of all the surrounding country. It was a flat country dotted over with shining lakes and small villages. The castle of Hohenswangan looked old and jaded besides the glory of Neuschwaustein. Away in the distance we could see the faint outline of the Alps. We sounded the castle bell several times before we got an answer, but finally a spruce looking young German opened the gates and explained that we could not be admitted. But a five mark piece made him change his mind and he said that he would show us part of the castle, the part that Ludwig occupied during his three years' residence there. We went through one splendid room after another, and everywhere we saw swans, and nearly every room was done in blue—royal blue. This blue was Ludwig's favorite color and he always had his bed chamber hung in it, no matter where he lived. It is so rich a color, it affects the senses like the sound of music. The swans were beautiful, long and woolly patterns, on the ceiling, on the draperies, and curved on the chairs. In the center of the state dining table was a great white swan, that was meant to hold fruit and flowers. COFFIN TOO BIG FOR DOOR Body of an Enormous Man is Left Outside the Church During Mass inside. Pottsville, Pa.—John A. Reith, Pottsville's heaviest man, who weighed 500 pounds, was buried here. Owing to the immense, size of the coffin required to hold the body, it could not be gotten in any hearse, nor could it be taken into St. John's Catholic church. Mass was therefore celebrated without the presence of the body. The monsoon of the walls of Reith's home would have to be torn down to take the casket out, but by taking the front door off its hinges twelve men, who acted as palebearers, succeeded in getting the massive body out of the house and on board a wagon, which bore it to a cemetery.

Whether shen a law 1s enacted In Tinots or not it is to the hest interest of all concerned to give this matter serious consideration. LABOR DAY. Labor Day is one of the few really legal holidays we have, and it is gen- erally observed all over the country. What it was meant to be and what it really is are two different questions. ‘To most people it simply means a day of from work. Why, they never ques- tlon, It doesn't matter, and they should worry. ‘The unons use it as fa day to show their strength, to show, by parading, the vast numbers of workers; that they hold the key to the prosperity of the country in the palm of their hand, And yet, each year thelr’ strength Is on the wane; men and women are dropping from their ranks because of the hard and fast laws regarding strikes that are laid down to them. 3t is impossible for the untons to be the dominating power when they are shortsighted: enough to oxclude their fellow worker, the colored man, from their organtzations. Under these conditions he will always be, though whwillingly, a atrike-break- er. He must eat, he must live, and to do these things he must work. Why the unfons cannot see, even with all thelr prejudices, that they are cutting off their own noses to spite their faces is a mystery. Let us hope they will wake up before It is too late. EE Ce A number of residents of Akron, O., got it in thelr heads that they did no! want colored people to live ina cor tain section of that city, so seventy: five of them took it upon themselves to visit the homes of three colored seople and order them to sell out and eave the neighborhood, ‘This is what he ralders have to say, “We know hat we haven't wy legal method of rlving the Negroes out, but we tntend 10 rely on public sentiment to prevent ‘hem settling in this locality.” This ‘h what the police say, “The Negroes Wave a right to stay there, and It Is air evorn duty to protest them, re wrdless of race or color. ‘Tho ltl bus have a right to assemble peace: thi, but they haven’t any right to visit thelr homes and order them to move. We'll prevent that in the future.” And ‘his is what the Negroes have to say, “We cannot be bluffed; we are not Soing to leave and, If tiecessary, wo are going to, prove that we can shgot just as, straight. as any white man.” From our viewpoint it Would. seem: as it wo had a shade the batter of the argument. In the first place, we have right on our side; in the second place, the law fs with ua; and in the third place, we have the determination to protect with life, t necessary, what rightfully belongs to us.

FIGHTING OUR WAY. | Some of the Southern press take exceptions to the Northerners lectur- ing them about theif shortcomings ia the way of thelr treatment of the col- ‘ored people, and get back by saying, "You had better sweep around your own door.” There in a great deal of logic in the remark, but it is a ques- tion whether the discriminations in the North are not a result of the great Inux of Southerners to this part of the country. ‘True, the Negro is per- mitted to work at menial labor in the South and that {s as far as it goes, outeide of that there are no rights that they get or from the white point of view, should expect.

Civic pride consists In doing all one can for the upbullding of his city, deautifying, purifying and making your clty the best possible one on earth. Many of tho colored people have been accused of not taking the proper amount of Interest in civie affairs; that they are too much commercially inclined and not publicapirited enough. : ‘One who has elvic pride has also community pride. He wants his com- munity or locality to bo the cleanest and the most beditiful part of the city. Ho sets a good example by keeping his sidewalk, front and back yard clean, freo from weeds, trash and old pleces of paper, ete. Home pride, elvlc and community pride also begets self-pride or vice versa. Home Pride. A man’s home ts his castle, and it 1s the ambition of every sane man to make, and maintain, a clean (both physically and morally) heelthful and beautiful home, both inside and out side. Tho kitchen, the sink, the tee box, Kitchen stove, bavement, wash-tubs and all parts’ of the house will be looked after and kegt as scrupulously clean and free of dirt as the parlor or sitting room. He will not be content with the back gate broken down or hanging on one hinge, the fence dilapl- tated. He will make a generous'use (in or- der to keep the place healthy and beautiful) of the whitewash and paint brushes both on the.inside and outside of his property. Selt-Pride. parts. There is. seltpride consisting of the good opinion of your own self You want to know and feel within yourself that your mouth is clean, your breath sweet; that your body {s clean, that your under or hidden gar- ‘ments are just as clean as your outer garments, “A true lady and gentleman will not be satisiled to have on dirty, ragged under garments. Some people feel all right with dirty, stinking hose, dirt between thelr toes and with feet whose odor ts so foul that one must often leave the room when the shoes are off, provided they have on highly polished, up-todate shoes to cover up his neglectful use of plenty of soap and water. ‘The second solf-pride is the pride for the good opinion of other people. People will dress, bathe themselves, clean the house, ete., from the view: point of other people. They are con- stantly in fear that someone will pass an unfavorable opinion upon their self grooming or upon the way in which they take care of their home. ‘They do not eare how badly thelr teeth are decayed, how foul the breath is, com- ing from a dirty nose or stomach, how badly the body may need & bath, how dirty the under garments are, Just 60 they make a neat outward appearance, or, in other words, putt up a “good front.” ‘They often ask the question, “How do I look?" never car. ing about “how do they fect?” Cleanliness. Cleanliness is one of the most im- portant elements in securing good health.

Let us begin now and continue during the remaining days of our lives to preach, teach and to educate old and young, the impor- tance of cleanliness in elty, in the home, in the body and mind as the most’ essential elements to good health. ‘ Let each fellow systematically look after the cleanliness of himself, of ‘his surroundings and encourage his nelghbor to do the same, but let him first remove the mote from his own eye by his example of self and civic pride, and then assist his nelghbor to remove the bean from his cye.

WILLIAM F. CODY. (Copyright, by Dally Btory. Pub: Co.) My old pard, Bill: Hickman, was am odd character.’ For years he had been my companion and faithful fo lower on the plains, and on moro ‘than gue occasion I had witnessed his superkeinan cotrago in hand-to-hand contie~ with tho Indians and border FEC Tut he was As sensitive as ‘8 EEX aid as sympathetlo, while he Was as eagerstitious as an Indian, Ho saw sign That he accopted as warn- ings and messages in about every- ing, and by theso he was s0 strong: ly Intluenced that to sway him waa an utter tmposaibitity. Hie told me once that there was only one thing on earth that he feared. This was his meeting with Kate Co dars, a woman whom ho had formerly known in Denver, and whom he had deserted. But he had dono this in no undethand way. He had frankly told her of hie resolve, and the reason he deemed separation better. ‘An he turned to leave her, she ex- claimed: “I have but one wish to live for, and that is to cut off your ears! That will be my revengo; mark my words!” : Such an idle speech as this coming from a woman should scarcely have any influence over the average man. But from the day Kate Cedars, in her anger, expressed it ax her desire, Door Bill had never been tho fame fellow. More than onco he had told mo that he had seen the woman, not alone in the dreams that had visited him in his sleep, but In those that had come to bim'in the daytime, and that at theso perlods she looked ‘tully capable of gratitying her desire. Strange that a man who had faced death In a thousand different ways, and who otherwise did not know the meaning of fear, should be £0 #lngu- larly impressed by tho iropasstoned ut- terance of a thoroughly unscrupulous woman. However, I knew this to be the cage. DBI had repeatedly told mo that tough he felt that he would dle with his boots on, ho was equally cer- tain that at that period bis eara would come off. But six years had passed now since he left the woman, and 1 hoped that she and her inhuman wish had passed from his mind forever, It was in the memorable summer of "76, soon after the Custer massacre. | had joined Cook's command and had gone up to the Yellowstone, Terry had & command In the fleld, also Gibbon. ‘The Indians had split ‘up and scat tered, and there seemed to be little chance of a fight. While encamped on the Yellowstone, Crook was anxious to get important Aispatches to Gibbon, who was about 160 miles away. I volunteered to be the bearer, but was forced to abandon tho underlpking to my pard Bill, He came to me and sald that he bad a presentiment, and that ho absolutely must enry te dispatches, Seeing that hhe was thoroughly in earnest, I gave way to him, ‘This journey was beset with danger.

It could only be accomplished, it accom- pfished at all, by riding in ‘the aight, and hiding in the bush and chaparral during the day. Bill started without giving me any hint respecting the na- ture of the presentiment. } Five days later, while camping on the Powder river, » courier from /Gibbon's command rode up to me jand said: = } “BIN Hickman js badly of at our camp and wants to see you.” “What's the matter?” 1 asked, with sincere concern. “The Indians must have Jumped him im the canyon,” was the reply.

For the benefit of the people who are constantly wanting to know why there are not more colored acts on at the Grand, we will, simply say, the management has endeavored to present from time to time as many good—mind you, we say good—colored acts as they can find. This city is full of barrstormers who know as much about stagecraft as a bull knows about Durham tobacco; yet they are killing time in some of these would be vaudeville houses. How long would the patrons of the grand stand for that kind of talent? Just long enough for them to make their first appearance. It is an easy matter to sit in the front and tell how a show should be managed, but another thing to manage it. Well, speaking of the bill the first half of the week, we find Dreyer and Dreyer, who do some very classy dancing and carry a pretty drop. Those Three Fellows, who admit they are good singers, so there is no argument about that. Harry Holman & Co. in a little playlet entitled, "The Town Constable," in which there were some very clever lines and acting above the average. Link and Robinson in "Advanced Vaudevillians," made some noise that sounded good over the footlights. But Sigsbies comedy acrobatic dogs took the blue ribbon for the evening. They were the best trained dogs that have appeared in this house was the consensus of opinion. There are some corking good ones billed for next week. States Theater Everybody knows Ada Banks and likewise Perrin and Crosby, and likewise, again, Joe Jordan, and everyone seems to enjoy the moving picture stories told by Foster, so that is the reason why the people have been crowding the States the past week. As Perrin and Crosby would say, "Did you get me?" Ada Banks was in excellent voice and gave to the public for the first time a new composition written by Alfred Anderson and Joe Jordan, entitled, "Since Then, Dear." Critics say it is going over, as it is one of the prettiest ballads of the season. Perrin and Crosby were great. They sang a number of original songs cleverly. They are especial favorites on the "stroll," and could make good there for an indefinite run. Monogram. Lawrence Chenault and Bessie Martin brought to the Monogram a class of people that perhaps the house has never seen before. It was a big time act and created quite a surprise when they were billed to appear at, this house. It will be remembered that Lawrence Chenault was a big favorite with the old Pekin Stock Company, since which time he has been identified with most of our first-class productions. T. Spencer Finley, in a single, put over a few hot ones, and as a hindo vocallist, gave the audience quite a treat. Perry and Perry and the Nugent Sisters made up the balance of the bill. The week was marked by an unusual large attendance. The Stroll. It is seldom that Frank P. George, the Blink Belasco of the race, disappoints his friends. The big beneficial which was scheduled for Aug. 28 had to be postponed because Mr. George was called to New York City, to attend to some very important business. The show will be given a little later; bigger, brighter than ever. Wait for it. --- It is surprising the number of baseball fans among the profession. Nearly every actor and actress are making preparation to attend the firemen and policemen baseball game at Comiskey Park, Thursday afternoon, Sept. 11. "Bert" Williams; the great comedian, is soon to be starred in a big musical production and will be seen here, it is said, early in the fall. The company will be all white with the exception of the star. As a movie artist, Miss Lottie Grady is a howling success. She is the leading lady for the Foster Film Company and soon her name and her face will be as familiar in every household as Sapolio. Our first thought was the Gold Dust Twins, but there is only one of her. ```markdown ``` William Foster, better known as "Jill Jones," has done more than any one man to promote theatrical enterprises. His latest venture is a moving picture studio and already he has produced at an enormous expense four or five two-reel pictures that compare favorably with any pictures on the market. There is no doubt that his business will develop wonderfully, for there is a great demand for photo plays, especially those in which colored people are the actors. Mr. Foster is to be congratulated and every encouragement given him. It is always gratifying to see a member of our race embark into a new field of endeavor. Long live the Foster Film Company. One of our most charming visitors who, by the way, could give Paderewski, cards and spades when it comes to piano-playing, was offered by one of our largest vaudeville managers $150 per week to appear at their house. The lady refused on the grounds that she was here for a rest and not for work. Guess who this graduate of the Boston Conservatory is?—B. B. is right : The Pompel is celebrating its first anniversary this week. Mr. Joe Shoecraft, the genial manager, has corraled all the availabie talent from Bowling, Ky.-key, to Podunk, wherever that is, and such entertainment as he has been giving the patrons of this popular cafe has never before been seen in Chicago. There is one thing about Joe, he doesn't give a rap about expense, just so they can deliver the goods. Miss Elvira Johnson, often called the Mary Garden of the race, is entertaining at the Elite nightly. It will be remembered she was the bright particular star that held the crowds with her, wonderful voice, when Jack Johnson's cafe was in high favor. Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Lillerson of the Elite cafe entertained a number of their friends last week with a lunchcon and automobile party. PROF. MUNDY'S RECITAL AT GRACE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SUNDAY. Depicting the Songs and Singers of the Bible. On Sunday Prof. Mundy, the well-known singer, will give one of the most interesting recitals at Grace Presbyterian church, of the season. The songs are all taken from the bible and that of itself should foretell something rare. Therefore all lovers of good music must be sure to attend. THEPOMPEI CARNIVAL FANTASTIC FEASTS OF THE GODS OF MIRTH The Greatest Two Ring Show on Earth—All Aquarium Animals Will Be Seen, From the Hippo to the Catfish—Before the Doors Are Opened Each Day a Free Outside Show Will Be Given. CHICAGO JUDGES OF ELECTION TO BE PRESENT The Celebrated $10,000 Beauty, Mr. Mort Shoecraft, Will Positively Appear in Greek Kilts in the Afternoon and in Scotch Kilts in the Evening, and Will Show Little Egypt a Thing or Two About the Afro-Americano Tango—Special Defender Reporters on Scene. Beginning Tuesday of the present week the Pompei Cafe, 20-22 East 31st street, has been conducting a carnival, the first ever given by any cafe in Chicago. A change of program daily is the arrangement which insures variety, and the best talent, both musical and dramatic, has been engaged and is daily entertaining record crowds at this popular and handsome cafe. Messrs. McCain and Shoecraft have spared no expense in making the carnival of such magnitude and the entertainment of such excellence than it is bound to be an affair that will longer in the memories of all who attend. The beautiful cafe and grill rooms are handsomely decorated and appropriate souvenirs are being distributed to all. The waiters are all costumed, representing a variety that at once makes one sit up and take notice, and ten additional waiters have been engaged to insure accurate' and rapid service. Peyton's famous orchestra. Jordan's orchestra, Wm. H. Dorsey's organization of musicians, the Pekin Trio and Finney's great orchestra of Detroit. Mich. are some of the well known organizations that are delivering the musical services, while the best vocal talent in the country renders the very latest song hits. The list of vocalists is probably the greatest that has ever been brought together, and includes such artists as George Hall, Lizzie Hart Dorsey, Lawrence Chenault, Ed Goodbar, Leon Diggs, Kinky Do. Cora Green, Harry Bernard and so many others that we lack space to name them. Lectures and speeches are a nightly feature, being delivered by such gifted scholars and speakers as Wm. H. Clark, Charles Hinds, Thomas McCain, Tony Langston and others; in addition to monologues by Joe and Mort Shoecraft, and dramatic readings by Mr. Frank George, the peer of all colored readers. Tuesday, Sept. 2, will be the closing day and Caldemus Van Buskirk of Paton Rouge, the great slack wire artist, will make a slide for life from the elevated station into the Pompei Cafe door with Mr. Mort Shoecraft on his back. A grand musical review is the program for Sunday. By special arrangement with the management of the "Little Miss Brown" company, now playing an indefinite engagement at the Princess theater, Mr. Tom Lemonier, the great librettist and composer of such famous songs as "Just One Word of Consolation," "Dear Luzon," "Is Everybody Happy?" and other great hits, will conduct the recital on Sunday afternoon, introducing the new songs, "Hello, Mr. Moon, Hello," "All Day Long" and the great touching ballad, "You're Up Today and Down Tomorrow," accompanied by Dave Peyton's celebrated augmented orchestra. Remember, no seats reserved for the Sunday concert, which begins at 3 o'clock sharp, so arrive early.

A party of women were being escorted through the statehouse by a bowling and scraping guide. The women were of the enthusiastic type and raved over this and that and said, "Oh, simply too gorgeous." Finally they were shown the portrait of a former governor. "Oh! superb, isn't it?" said one of them, and "an excellent likeness, too. A portrait of whom did you say it was?" Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 29.—Rev. Z. P. Hamilton, a white minister of Louisville, financial secretary for the National University and Seminary, a purely Negro national institution, which is contemplating to be the largest one of its kind among Negroes in the world. Rev. Hamilton is one of the best specimens of the Anglo-Saxon race, who is devoting his energy to the development of mankind, regardless of race or creed. He is asking the support of one and all, regardless of its mite for this great educational work. This is an undenominational campaign, but a campaign for the good of all the people. This institution will be an honor to the unborn and rising generation. Lawyer Dulin Moss, an aspiring young attorney, deserves much credit for escorting Rev. Hamilton to the various business houses and introducing him to the governor and other white and colored people and also to The Defender's correspondent. He is touring the state in the interest of this seminary, and will go into several other states, so don't be surprised when he comes to your door. The twenty-seventh annual opening of the State Normal, Sept. 3, is looked to as a bright future to the institution. There is a large number of young men in the city from throughout the state, waiting for this time to come. President G. P. Russell has been on the alert all the summer, addressing large gatherings of our people in various cities, and meeting conventions, which has had a great effect upon the institution for a much larger attendance this year as there has ever been. The Clinton street high school will open the first Monday in September, Prot. Wm. H. Mayo, editor of the "Masonic Herald," and for over thirty years the pilot of the Clinton street high school when it was hardly a respectable log cabin, which is now a unique edifice.

The costumes were exquisite creations beyond description. One could shut his eyes and pick blindly, awakening to find he had a veritable fairy by his side. Whoever says we haven't the prettiest set of young ladies in the country should have looked in on this human bouquet and been convinced. The house was beautifully festooned with green, and Chinese lanterns added to the garden-like effect of the scene. The music was furnished by Mr. Will Brown's orchestra, which accounts for its excellence. After a dainty repast the party broke up and one more social affair de luxe passed into history. THE UNIVERSITY SOCIETY EN TERTAINS. In the brilliantly lighted and attractive rooms of the Carter Villa nearly two hundred handsomely gowned ladies and gentlemen assembled on last Monday evening in response to the call of the University Society to its third annual reception in honor of visiting teachers and students.

The most carefully chosen program was rendered under the colors of the University Society, and the pennants of various schools and colleges throughout the states; at its close, the guests were ushered into the dining hall of the villa, where the exquisite fragrance of abundant cut flowers produced the effect of a fairy enchantment. Here the caterers served ices, punch and cakes. SUFFRAGETTES' CONVENTION. September 11, 8:30 p. m., Grace Presbyterian church, 3409 Dearborn street.

From there they visited friends and relatives in Mrs. Buckner's home town, Arlington, Ky., and on their return stopped at Paxton and Lodie, the latter being the home of Mrs. Buckner's mother. At each place they were given a cordial welcome and friends were sorry to see them leave. POE'S LITTLE WHITE COTTAGE Recent Removal of House In Which "The Raven" Was Written Aroused Criticism. New York.—The recent removal of the little white cottage in which Edgar Allan Poe wrote "The Raven" aroused great interest, and in many instances strong criticism on the part of admirers of America's poet and fictionist. The cottage stood on the Kingsbridge road in the borough of the Bronx and was removed from the original site to a new foundation prepared for it in Poe Park at One Hundred and Ninety-fourth street and Valentine avenue, g. c.ant about two blocks. The park covers two blocks and the cottage was placed at the northern end, preserving in all the Poe's Little White Cottage. details its appearance on the previous site. Although Poe has been dead many years there can still be found here and there a very aged man or woman who declares he or she has seen the poet in life, walking about in musing mien amid the rural surroundings of the Bronx of those days. Whether this be so or not the two generations that have followed the poet's time still treat the spot with the greatest respect. Those who have been most energetic in the preservation of the cottage and instrumental in the establishment of the Poe Park declare that the vicinity has been a literary impetus to thousands of near-by residents as well as to those who make frequent pilgrimages to the scene. The cottage will be turned over to the city and maintained as a memorial to the American author, who in his writings made famous the wild scenery of Fordham Heights. Edgar Allan Poe lived in the cottage from 1845 to 1849 and it was there his wife died. The building is a story and a half with a gable end toward the street. On the gable is a picture of a raven with the inscription "Poe Cottage," which would give the idea that the famous poem was written within its walls. As a matter of fact "The Raven" was written in an old house in West Eighty-fourth street near Broadway. SAVES CHOKING LEOPARDESS James Crowley, Keeper, Braves Pain-Racked Animal to Take Bone From Throat. New York.—James Crowley, keeper in the Central Park menagerie, lava Touche, the "musical leopardess," from choking to death on a bone. Crowley was outside when a man told him that the leopardess was choking. Crowley entered the cage door, closing it to protect the throng of persons behind him. The animal swirled about her cage, snarling and writhing. Crowley got the animal in a corner, flung himself upon her back, and, shutting off her wind with one arm, reached his free arm between the big cat's jaw and down into her throat. He drew out a beef bone six inches long. William Snyder, head keeper, who had been notified, then entered the cage with Crowley to protect his retreat. But there was no need. La Touche coughed. Then she raised her head and licked Crowley's hands. EAGLE MOTHER FIGHTS MAN Huge Bird Battles Defending Young Until Crippled by the Most Severe Clubbing. Oroville, Cal.—Deputy Sheriff Alvin Faul had a thrilling experience with a huge eagle near Stirling City when he captured the bird's fledgeling. Faul was compelled to beat back the mother bird with a club. Faul was driving along in his auto from this city and noticed the bird circling around its nest in a tall pine. He decided to make a try for the young bird. As he approached the nest the big bird rushed him and he had to break off a rotten bough and use it as a club to protect himself. He struck the bird several times and wounded it so it could not fly. He brought the eaglet, which is about the size of a chicken, back to this city, and now has it in captivity. FAITHFUL DOG SAVES YOUTHS Red Lake Falls, Minn.—A leopard, which has been at large since escaping from a circus at Crookston, attacked two children of William Wageman at his farm house near here. The lives of the children were saved by the family dog, a Scotch collie, which charged the animal, diverting its attention while the children escaped into the house. After it had killed the dog the leopard escaped into a corn field. Awakes to Find Rattler In Boom. Hermosa, S. D.—To sleep all night with a huge rattlesnake as a roommate was the experience of Miss Tilley Hesnard, who lives with her brother on a homestead in the eastern part of Custer county. When the young woman awoke she was horrified upon glancing upward to discover the snake clinging to the wall at the head of her bed. Her brother was summoned to the scene by her screams and killed the snake with a pitchfork.

SPORTING GRACE WINS CHAMPIONSHIP OF SOUTH SIDE Takes the Pennant in the Presbyterian League for Third Successive Time—Play for County Title Starts With Grace the Favorite. CAME FROM THE REAR WITH A DESPERATE ATTACK THAT WON. Out-Hit by Opponents, They Take Deciding Game from Bethlehem Before Rosters of Both Churches—Hardy's Catch with the Sacks Loaded the Feature. Grace and all their rooters assembled at Washington Park last Saturday afternoon to battle for the deciding game in the race for the championship of the Presbyterian League of the South Side. Along the third-base line was Botheleh and their followers. They pulled for their team and a great applause went up in the first inning when Williamson's hit was too hard for Captain Baker to handle. Yowell scored soon after when Jones let one by him after making a bad peg to second that Radford made a pretty stab. There were lots of pretty plays and there was a lot of inside ball used by the winners. Never once did they slack up. They went out to win, and they won, and if ever a team and its managers deserve credit these young men certainly do, for in all the years that they have played in the park, they may have received the praise that they received the praise of the residents from all over who journey not only to see the play but the sportsmanship and the gentlemanly way they conduct themselves. It was a great day for a game, although our friend, Mr. Lewis, was off in the rear, he pitched a good game. He was touched for eleven safe swats but managed to keep them far enough apart to keep out of danger. After the second, it looked pretty bad for Grace, but they started an attack that would have defeated the best team in the world, and when Bethlehem awoke from their bewilderment, Grace had scored seven runs. Again, in the fifth, they put four more across. The sixth looked bad for us, for there were three on the bases and two out, with the call of three and two. The batter hit one of Lewis' benders straight towards centerfield, and it looked like a homer. But Hardy had started back with the drive and turning around he gave one leap; the ball struck his glove and there it stuck. It was the last out and Bethlehem's chance went a glimmering. They threatened in the eighth, but after two runs were across they were shut off for the day. The final score was 13 to 6. Hardy got three of the eight hits Grace had, one going for an extra base; Lewis also hit for two sacks. The Defender suggests that Grace still remain in the league, but for certain reasons withdraw from compet- ing for the championship. That is, the games that will be won by her will not count in the league race for the honors for about two years. In so doing will show the others that they are true sports. The score: Grace. R. H.

The American Giants won from the Spalding Sunday 6 to 1, two new men doing the twirling for Foster, and the game was a walkaway: Saturday—the Giants went on the West Slide and Louis Johnson struck out fourteen men. A good many of the fans have been dissatisfied with the outcome of the series of the Lincoln-American games, but we must admit, although the boys were defeated, the best teams in the country have lost, and again that many of us that sit in the stands and watch the games do not understand the rules. Many remarks have been passed that Mr. Goeckel favors the Americans. Well, we will see. In the first game here on Sunday the volcans had a man on first and a man on second. Grant hit an infiel fly, which Munroe dropped. Grant overran first, but sled back safely. The base umpire called him safe, but the ever-ready Goeckel called him out. According to Rule 51, Section 3, Mr. Goeckel, the "ump" in charge, was right. The American Giants have more inside baseball in their "nuts" than many of the big league teams. The Giants, who have scored again equaled Bernie Wefa's record for 120 yards, is going to cast his fortunes with Brown University, where he enters this full. The Defenders won another practice game when they defeated their opponents 17 to 9. Foster pitched the game and the scrubs were not entitled to but five runs, for Drake and Cousins twice started some exhibition stunts with two out each time that did prove successful and let in two runs in each case. Two games will be played Sunday, one Monday and the following week we go against the Alco automobile team, mostly white. Henderson and Cousins will be out of the lineup, as they go to Springfield with the Bighth. The police and firemen will play a game for the benefit of the Provident Hospital. They have been practicing for weeks every day at the American Glants' Park. Munroe and Pierce have go to New York, where they will play with the eastern teams. The Lincoln left here and went home to be humiliated by the Royal Glants 15 to 1. What will their followers think here? Sam Langford celebrated his return to the ring in New York city, after an absence of nearly two years in Australia, by knocking out Dan (Porky) Flynn, his old sparring partner, in the fourth round of their scheduled twelve-round bout, at the A. A. in the first session Flynn landed a right on Langford's jaw and sent him to the mat. In the second round Langford started right after his opponent and could have put him away if he had cared to extend himself. The third round was all Langford's. In the next Sam beat up Porky, and just before the bell sounded he sent across a short right-hand punch to Porky's jaw that sent Flynn out for the count. CLUBS AND SOCIETIE . THE ALPHA SUFFRAGE CLUB. By Mrs. K. J. Bills. BETHEL LITERARY CLUB TO OPEN SEPT 7. Bethel Literary Club will open its meetings Sunday afternoon, Sept. 7, at 4 o'clock, and will continue every Sunday afternoon thereafter at Bethel Church, 30th and Dearborn streets, at 4 o'clock.

Formal Opening of Amanda Smith Industrial School Labor Day—Public Cordially Invited. Next Monday, Labor Day, at 10 o'clock, the public is invited to attend the formal opening of Amanda Smith Industrial School for Girls at North Harvey, at which time appropriate exercises will be held. This event should be considered well worth the attention and approval of every friend of orphan and dependent colored girls and all should show their interest in the new work. After years of unselfish effort for the benefit of colored orphans, the institution at North Harvey has received the endorsement of the State Board of Charities and is now officially recognized by the Juvenile and, County Courts of our state. Having received public approval, it is now up to the colored people to show such an interest in their orphan and dependent children that our courts will be justified in sending to our own teachers these children to receive tuition, moral and industrial training. We will receive help in that work from our white friends in the measure that we show interest and ability to discharge the duties assumed under the authority of the state charter. Already the school is making the most favorable impression. Ten girls have been sent to the school by the Juvenile Court Chicago and all are being well cared for. All friends of the cause are invited to attend the exercises, which begin with an inspection of the buildings at 1 p. m. Refreshments will be served at 2 p. m. and exercises which include addresses, reports, music, etc. begin at 3 p. m. THE Y. M. C. A. OF CHICAGO. Wabash Avenue Department. 3763 Wabash Ave. The Y. M. C. A. building has all the air of finish about it. Everything about the swimming pool is finished except the window factions. The public is invited to examine the building and equipment in every detail Labor Day from 2 o'clock to 10 p. m. At 2:30 the boys' gym class will entertain. In the evening there will be music and entertainment in the parlor and typical Y. M. C. A. sociability all around. This is the best chance the ladies have had to enjoy the Y. M. C. A. and see what is in it. They are cordially invited. Admission will be by tickets which may be had by gentlemen calling for them. Mothers and sons will be especially interested in the boys' class in the afternoon. The boys have invited their mothers to a 5:30 reception in the boys' rooms. They will show pictures with their new machine between 8:15 and 9:15 in the evening to their young friends, while the older folks are rejoicing upstairs. This, therefore, will be the association's great day. LEAVE IT TO NATURE. Nature generally makes a fool out of a person if he doesn't make anything out of himself.-Waldo Baston. Many men hate to work because it spills their chances to become idlers.-Waldo Baston. POLICEMEN AND FIREMEN TO CROSS BATS Firemen Put Out Put Lies Like Fire and the Cops Hope to Chase Grounders Like Robbers—There Will Be No Fights—If Umpire Gives Wrong Decision He Will Be Arrested. Perhaps never before in the history of Chicago has such interest been shown by city and state officials and prominent citizens as in the coming basement game between the Policemen and Flippen at Conforty Park, 86th and Shields street, on the afternoon of September 11. Already something over a thousand people have signified their willingness to act as patrons and to assist in making it a huge social and financial success. Mayor Carter H. Harrison, Gov. Dunne, Ex-Gov. Deneen, Chief of Police John McWeeney, Fire Marshall Chas. F. Seyferlich, Senator Lorimer, Ald. Charles Merriam, Ald. Harding, Senator Ettleson, Col. John R. Marshall, Representative Robert R. Jackson, County Attorney Louis B. Anderson, State's Attorney, Major Franklin A. Denison, Ion. E. H. Morris, Hon. B. F. Moseley, Andrew "Rube" Foster, Jesse Binga, Major John C. Buckner, Editors R. S. Abbott, Julius F. Taylor, B. S. Turner, and thousands of other citizens will be present in boxes to witness the game. The winning team will be presented with a silver loving cup. Charles A. Comiskey, the "Noble Roman" and greatest of all baseball magnates, has donated his park and will pitch the first ball. The policemen and firemen have been excused by their chiefs for the day. They have been playing all the season and this will be the final championship game. Although they are firemen and policemen, they are ex-professional players. The Y. M. C.

It's as cute a little convivence as one can find in a day's travel, and will have to be seen to be appreciated. Well, our heavy-weight reporter happened to be standing at Michigan boulevard and Thirty-fifth street when "Doc" was seen heading south on the boulevard. At the same time the traffic officer threw up the white-gloved mule, which is the usual signal to stop north and south travel, and a six-ton coal wagon, drawn by two raw-boned mules, came slowly east on Thirty-fifth. Limousines, touring cars and racing machines all stood impatiently awaiting the clearing of the crossing, but not so "Doc" and his white colored miniature. When the officer looked around he was surprised to find that "Doc" had disappeared, machine and all. The officer dropped to his hands and knees, the better to get a clear view up the line, and was astonished to find "Doc" crossing Thirty-ninth street. "Doc" had driven his spinabout in. under the mules and was on his way! Going some? Chess! And the mules never knew. He Got Hla.

Standing on the Front of Locomotive Pillet He Tecces Baby Clear of the Rushing Train—Shoe Became Wedged on Top of Rail. Bristol, Tenn.—The attention of the Carnegie Hero commission has been called to James H. Johnson, aged twenty-seven, of this city, who saved a child's life in a notable manner. Johnson is a locomotive. freeman. His double-header freight train was rounding a curve near Chilhowie, Va. on the Norfolk and Western railway when the engineer saw a small child on the track ahead. Both engines were reversed and the airbrakes applied, but too late. Johnson sprang through a window of the cab of the forward engine and sped along the running board to the pilot. Clutching the pilot bars with both hands, he slipped his right foot down to the level of the rails, intending to catch the child up and hurt it from the track, but the weight of the child pulled his foot under the pilot, the toe of the shoe being wedged under the upper part of the rail. The engine ran the length of a rail, with his dragging in the groove and the child balanced on his foot. Its curly A boy sits on the train tracks as the train pulls away.

Then, suddenly, Johnson's toe was released and, with a switch, the foot he buried the child of the truck, uninjured save for a few scratches. The child was the two-year-old son of the widow of Henry Baker, who was killed last fall by the bursting of an emery wheel. BOY'S BROKEN NECK HEALS Youth Who Suffered Spinal Fracture in Chicago Recovers in West Virginia Hospital. Wheeling, W. Va.—Complete recovery from a broken neck is the rare experience that has fallen to George H. Arbenz, twenty years old, son of John P. Arbenz, prominent Wheeling attorney, who sustained a fracture of the fifth spinal vertebrae in an automobile accident in Chicago several weeks ago. He was rushed to a hospital, but the doctor pronounced the case hopeless. Understaffed, he who had hurried to Chicago, ordered him removed to Wheeling, although physicians declared that he would not survive the trip. But young Arbenz lived through the trip. For weeks he lay in the North Wheeling hospital, his head, neck and back rigidly encased in a plaster cast. At the end of six weeks he had so far recovered that it was deemed safe to remove the plaster cast. By that time he paralysis which had afflicted almost the entire body was gone. Since then the young man has been out every day, enjoying excellent health and feeling no ill effects from his experience. Members of the Wheeling medical fraternity declare the case to the one of the "seven wonders" of the surgical world. Husband Finds His Meal Prepared, But Wife Dead From Light- ning Stroke. Carnegie, Pa.—Lightning played a fatal prank the other night when it ziggagged down the chimney to the kitchen range in Henry Waters' house in tiff city, killing Mrs. Waters and broiling a steak which she was placing on broiling irons at the time. The woman evidently was about to light the natural gas burner when a terrific peal of thunder shook the house. Every stitch was burned from her body. The steak was browned perfectly. When the woman's husband arrived home he found his supper ready, but no one to serve it.

INVESTIGATING THE RECORDER'S OFFICE [Special to The Chicago Defender. J Washington, D. C., August 23—The investigation of the office of the recorder of deeds has been completed and the result will soon be announced by Attorney General McReynolds. The investigation has been under the direction of the Department of Justice, and the authorities have had the earnest co-operation of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the recorder, who courted the fullest examination of conditions there since the recent episodes growing out of the activities of the so-called Democratic Fair Play Association. The recorder's office is a District institution, nominally under the Interior Department, although practically independent in its workings. Its employees are both colored and white, and number something over forty. The administrative duties are in charge of Mr. Dutton, the deputy recorder. The salary of the recorder of deeds is now $1,000 per annum. Formerly it was a "fee office" and it is said that at one time it was worth $20,000 a year to the treasurer since the days of B. K. Bruce it has been a salaried office, the surplus fees have been expenses being covered in to the treasurer who colored recorders have been Frederick Douglass, James C.

New York, Aug. 30.—So far as the jcolored people ‘are concerned, they are already deeply stirred by the ac- tion of several of Ir. Wilson's cabinet oflicers in segregating the negro em- ployes within their departments—in some Gases they are being screened off in corners as if even their aspect were contaminating. As usual in such cases. the excuse fs that it is all for the negroes’ wel- fare that it is being done, That they are thoreby rendered more safe in the possession of their offices, and are less likely to be discriminated against, is the sincere belief of some who have had part in, this innovation. What they do not ‘see is that this for the first time officially establishes a caste among the citizens and employes of the federal government; that within a short time ‘the negro sections will be pointed to as the “nigger depart- ments" and made the objects of the derision and hate of such men as Vardaman and Hoke Smith and their Jess conspicuous Imitators; that the “nigger sections” will become as “de- spiced and neglected as the Jim Crow” car. So far from helping the negro to re- jtain office, it will soon make it im- possible for fine and able negroes of self-respect to enter a service which begins by classitying them as inferior, as people. who must be sot off lest mere contact with them result in some kind of moral contamination. In the far /South every fresh act of diserimination, every additional effort to ‘degrade and to humiliate, will al- ‘lege its justification by this action of the federal government. Needless to say, those cabinet officers who have begun this shocking segregation pro- cess took great care not to ascertain in advance what the wishes and feel- ings of those to be “Jim Crowed” might be. It was the point of view ot thore who had the power to act which -prevailed. ‘That all of this will go without challenge 1s not to be expected.
