Millionaire Is Made to Marry Colored Girl Avenue Theatre Draws Color Line of the Firemen. This will be the first ME VIII NUMBER 36. Milliona Av MILLIONAIRE MARRIES COLORED MILLIONAIRE MARRIES COLORED HOUSE MAID The judge dissents from this and said that law was for working men, but the child of a millionaire calls for more. Its station in life required more to raise it. The judge refused to reduce the bond and the money allotted to the unfortunate young woman. This case is a celebrated one and one that our daily papers ought to give big headlines after the way they cut up over the Jack Johnson case. This case will not reach the light of day as far as the papers are concerned and the poor, benighted heathen will see that the king can do evil and he must answer for his evil-doing. We are glad to live in a city and a state where the respect for law and woman stands so high. Springfield, Ill., Sept. 5.—Incorporation papers have been issued by the secretary of state in Springfield for the Federation of Pullman Conductors and the Federation' of Pullman Porters of America. These two branches of the railroad service never have been able to organize heretofore. An effort will be made for increased pay. If all the men in the service will take hold at once there will be hope for the conductors and porters to succeed. Just as soon as the organization is perfected we want all Defender readers in the service to make a petition to the company to have the word "porter" changed or substitute a more progressive one. Be gentle about it and we are sure the company will act. Monday all day three companies occupied the rifle range, under command of Captain Wm. T. Jefferson. Some excellent scores were made and all the boys are showing high interest in the work on the range. Other exercises during the day consisted of drills and schools for both officers and enlisted men. The weather has been very warm here and the good old lake breeze is much missed. Quite a few of the men have suffered from the heat, among them our very efficient Quartermaster Captain James S. Nelson. He was stricken Monday night and has not been able to report for duty up to the present writing. His duties, however, have been ably handled by the regimental quartermaster sergeant, Calvin J. Chambers. Sergeant Chambers took up the duties and the entire work of the quartermaster has been most satisfactorily executed. Our efficient and genial commander, Colonel John R. Marsbail, is more than sustaining his reputation as the ablest as well as the best appearing colonel of the National Guard. The same routine prevailed Tuesday as was executed Monday with the exception of the work on the range, three companies of the second battalion shooting instead of the first, who were on the range Monday. Dress parade and guard mount each day drew large crowds, who remained for the concert in the evening. Lieutenant Walter Pointer of the first battalion met with a very painful accident Tuesday evening as he was riding from the parade grounds at the conclusion of dress parade. A stirrup broke, causing him to fall in attempting to dismount. He was carried from the field by the hospital corps to the --- Tuesday was an awful bad day for millionaire George Willis (white), a grand boulevard millionaire, who for three years had in his employ Ethel Smith, a young, comely woman of 27 years, as maid in his bachelor apartment. As water wears away rock, it seems this cultured gentleman's prejudices had vanished and before he was aware of things he was nearing the state of fatherhood and the maid the mother for his child. Tuesday the climax came when he was hauled into court and made to marry the woman he had wronged. Many a colored man is serving time in Joliet for such acts and this gentleman can consider himself fortunate that he was sentenced to marry this young woman and pay her $25 per week until the child becomes of age. The judge that tried the case made him give a bond of $25,000 and pay the money into the court each week or month, as he so desires. While in court, his honor in rebuking the man of wealth said: "Look at you, a man of intelligence, in silks and satins, hair of the ages, taking advantage of this poor, illiterate, ignorant girl in this manner. If you were living in the South you would walk off from your prey and not give her a dine if you disposed to do so. But the time is here now when all judges, to get the respect of his community and nation, must give the law as laid down and not as he so feels. The judge sent the prisoner's brother for a gold ring and performed the ceremonies in his chambers. Mr. James Carter, 3025 State street, professional bondman, was best man and main witness to the marriage. As we go to press the millionaire's attorney said his client need not pay any 'tore from $8 to $12. THE EIGHTH REGIMENT'S CAMP Major R. R.

By Regimental Sergeant Major Fred M. Waterfield. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] The regiment arrived in Springfield at 5 o'clock Sunday morning and immediately went by street car to Camp Lincoln. Colonel Marshall Joined the regiment at Chicago, arriving just before departure for Springfield, but the regiment proceeded to camp under command of Lieut. Col. James H. Johnson. Within one hour after arrival in camp every department was in full swing and gave the camp the appearance of a much longer occupation. Many visitors were present during the day Sunday but were disappointed the evening when it became known the usual band concert would not rendered on account of the band's music not arriving from Baltimore. The band did not arrive in camp until 5:30 Sunday afternoon. Guard mount is being done by companies. C Company was on guard coming down from Chicago and the first company to do guard duty in camp was F, under Captain Arnett. Adjutant Louis B. Anderson and Sergeant Major Fred M.

Boston, Sept. 5.—The National Independent Political League requests that every clergyman in the United States observe Sunday, September 14, 1913, asEqual Rights Sunday and have special prayers and sermons for equal rights for those denied them—the colored Americans, denied even by the federal government itself. Petition Almighty God and appeal to the people against this sin. Rev. Byron Gunner, president; Wm. M. Trotter, secretary. Every colored church, every literary association, every lodge, every equal rights society in the United States is urged to send a delegate to the sixth annual meeting of the National Independent Political League at Boston, Mass., September 15, 1913, also citizens of every city. Act at once. CHICAGO, N.L., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1913. MRS. SHREEVES REPRESENTS SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR VETERANS—DELIVERS FINE ADDRESS. Mrs. Joseph Shreeves, of 7242 Wentworth avenue, has won for herself a lasting honor by nobly and ably representing the Spanish-American War Veterans at its annual convention at Buffalo, N. Y. Mrs. Shreeves was the only female delegate, white or colored. There were delegates from all parts of the country—men of intellectual attainments, successful in business affairs and others holding high positions, but no one received greater honor nor was given a bigger ovation than the female representative of Illinois. When she arrived on the scene there was something doing, for it was her determination to do her part well. When Illinois was called for she delivered one of the most far-reaching and effective speeches during the session. Her husband is mail dispatcher at the post office. CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION IN CHICAGO Negro National Semi-Centennial and Exposition Assured. August and September, 1915, at Chicago, U. S. A. On the return to the city this week of Hon. Beauregard F. Moseley, president of the Negro National Semi-Centennial Exposition Association, renewed efforts were launched to insure the holding of a National Negro Exposition by the Negroes themselves, here in this city in August and September, 1915. The constitution and by-laws to govern the national undertaking will soon be ready for the printer; in the meantime, some definite arrangements will be made at Tuesday (Sept. 5) meeting, to be held at 2320 State street, for state organization. All members are requested to be present. The Chicago Negro Press Bureau is especially invited and will attend, and the best thought of the best Negroes of the race will be given and, we hope, acted upon, for it is up to the Negro race to prove by their conduct in this matter their worth as men and women in managing and controlling an exposition of the product of the Negro's hand and brain in the last 50 years. Let the race get together and give, in fact as well as in name, a national exposition by a concerted movement all along the line by Negroes. MRS. T. WEBSTER BROWN. Wife of the Attorney, Visiting Relatives and Friends in Ohio. Mrs. Brown is having a delightful time with her mother and a host of friends in Cincinnati, Ohio. One continuous round of pleasure is the program daily and the evenings are crowded with events that will cast a lasting impression upon the mind of the visitor from the Windy City. All are making every effort to show how hospitable the people of the Buckeye State can be. The visitor will have a large storehouse of good news to relate when she returns. This is a further evidence of the increasing ability of the colored Americans to mingle in different parts of this land. MAKES HIT IN FULL-DRESS SUIT. Mr. Banks, a comely young man, said to be a very swell dresser, and who buys all his clothes from Capper & Capper, was at the University Society's reception in honor of the visitors at the Carter villa last week. Mr. Banks is a member of the society and was on the reception committee. He wore a dress suit for the occasion. It looked as though it was made when Noah built the ark. It was silk both from age and pressing, and certainly did fit him quick. A younger lady there looked very charming to this "gent," and he asked for her company home, but she was heard to say: "You can't draw that coat on me." The Defender reporter overheard this conversation and cannot be responsible for the truth of the statement.

RACE DISCRIMINAT BARRED IN WHY Hotels, Theaters, Restaurants and All American Citizens—The Many Working Plans to Island Families Back of Prog [Special to The Chicago Defender.] New York, Sept. 5.—The "equal rights" law passed by the last legislature becomes operative tomorrow. The act forbids a hotel, restaurant or theater to discriminate against any person on account of race, color or Richey-Anderson Nuptials a Thing of Grandeur. A wedding of much interest was that of Miss Margaret Rosa Richey, only daughter of Mr. Anderson Hoyt Richey, 4544 Evans avenue, and Mr. John Logan Blount of Houston, Tex., which was solemnized Thursday evening at 8:30 o'clock, at St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. John Wallace Robinson, pastor, officiating. A color scheme of pink and white was carried out in the decorations and costumes of the attendants. Preceding the ceremony Miss Maude Roberts sang very beautifully Hardelot's "Because," accompanied by Miss Ash. Then as Mr. Henry C. Boram played the stately strains of Lohengrin's "Wedding March" as the processional, the bridal party marched slowly down the alces, forming a semi-circle at the altar. The bridesmaids, the Misses Mame Charlotte Mason, of Cincinnati, Celestine Cornella Marshall and Robbie Tobias of Chicago, wore exquisite white frocks with pink sashes and white shadow lace hats with pink streamers. Following the bridesmaids came the two matrons-of-honor, Mrs. George Luther Riffe of Mundel, Inc., and Mrs. Begie Mason, Boyd of Chicago. Mrs. Riffe wore a pink creation of brocaded musiln de sole with shadow lace. Mrs. Mason wore her wedding gown of white satin, lace and pink rose buds. Little Miss Louise Logan of Tuskegee had a white silk frock with a pink sash and large hair bow and carried the ring in an immense pink ```markdown ``` FIRE COMPANY 21 EXHIBITS BRAVERY AND HEROISM AT BIG FIRE. Among the twenty or more firemen who were overcome by smoke at the State street fire on Tuesday in the loop district the members of the famous Fire Company 21 showed their bravery as did the whites. In a big cosmopolitan city like Chicago there should be no separate company—colored men should be on any company, like police traveling out of every station. Lieut. J. C. Wickliff was cheered by large crowds as he faced death to rescue a fellow member of his company. Other members of the company who risked their lives to save white men were Harry Sumbert, Charles Jones, Robert Hudson, James Harris, Newton Curry, B. Ranssey, John Jackson, James Cross, Matthew Kreer and Geo. Jones. Mrs. Joe Wickliff, on hearing of the dangerous condition of the men, went to the fire house and remained all Tuesday evening with her husband. The men are all right today and are ready for the ball game Thursday. JONAH AT LUX. Cor. 35th Street and Michigan Ave., Sunday, 2 P. M. All theaters have closed their doors against Jonah in the loop.

Summer hotels which advertise that persons of certain classes and races are not desired will be the hardest hit, as the law provides a penalty of from $100 to $500 for inserting "undesirable advertisements and makes the proprietors liable to damage in civil actions. Illy. The maid-of-honor, Miss Ruth Mackle Logan, also of Tuskegee, wore a gown of pink crepe meteor with trimmings of shadow lace and pink rosebuds, and a picture hat of shadow lace with a large pink rose. Immediately following the maid-of-honor came the bride on her father's arm. Her gown was of white silk charmeuse with a chiffon tunic with bugle trimming and a deep bertha of shadow lace. The bride carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and the other attendants carried pink asters. Mr. A. Christopher Richey, brother of the bride, acted as best man and Mr. W. E. Jackson of Houston, Texas, and A. M. Johnson of Chicago, were groomsmen. The impressive Episcopal ring ceremony was used. Following the wedding a reception was held at the home for over 150 friends. Mrs. Blount is a graduate of the Chicago schools, Tuskegee '07, and has attended the Burton School of Domestic Science, taught in a branch school of Tuskegee at Eatonville, Fla., and taught domestic science in Langston University at Langston, Okla., for two years. Mr. Blount is a young man of the Sunny South, residing in the Lone Star State, where he and his bride will make their future home. He is a graduate of Bishop College, and is identified in the teaching world, having charge of manual training in the Houston Public Schools. IN A HURRY.

The Avenue Theater, located at 31st street and Indiana avenue, has opened its doors, and from all reports will cater to white people on the first floor and sell tickets to colored people for the balcony. This discrimination must not be tolerated in Chicago. It is done nowhere else and must not be started on the South Side. Write to Mayor Carter H. Harrison and Chief of Police McWeeny. Both are fair and honorable men and will see that this dirty piece of discrimination is "hipped in the bud." There is no theater on the South Side or in any other part of Chicago that keeps its doors open on the policy that it caters to whites only. There can be no truth in the statement that this house secured its license on the ground that only Jews and white people will be allowed to sit on the first floor. Will Mayor Harrison give license to such a theater with such a policy? Two of our most representative people called at the theater on Tuesday evening and were told at the box office that "balcony only for colored people." This disgrace and discrimination must not exist any longer. Illinois and its laws do not stand for such; its officials do not endorse such, and a few conniving Jews of the lowest strata must not be allowed to humiliate the race. Luther Hall, a well deserving "and capable man, wanted $2 a night to fire marshal and all the Jews wanted to pay was $1.50. Hall would not work. He found it was different there than at the Grand Theater and he began to spread the news. "Let there be no color line in any public place in Chicago!" Write the mayor and police! DR. BOGER'S RODAPLANE Makes Trip from Chicago to Indianapolis in Two Hours, Two Minutes, Two Seconds and Two Degrees. Dr. Harry Boger, the "prince of good fellows" and popular clubman, went the local chauffeurs one better the first of the week by making a trip to Indianapolis in his new automobile. Dr. Boger was accompanied by his tailor, Mr. Wm. Adams, of 2939 State street. "Bill," as the boys' call him, was a little dubious about making the trip, but the doctor showed him where he had plenty of "accident medicine," so in he jumped. With Dr. Boger at the wheel, with plenty of lunch and oil "on board," they passed through town after town with not the slightest accident. Adams, on account of his business, had to hurry back by way of "Hoosler Flyer," while Dr. Boger remained two days. A telegram reached the office Friday night that he was within a few miles of the Windy city. A phone message states he is here safe and sound. MRS. MILDRED BERRY'S BIRTHDAY Mrs. Dolly B. Savage of 50 Forty-fifth place entertained in honor of her mother, Mrs. Mildred Berry. Having reached the glorious age of 79 years, she wished to have all her children and friends help rejoice. A lovely supper was served. The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers. Mrs. Berry received many nice useful presents. Mr. George Brown made a very appropriate speech. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Bowels, Mr. and Mrs. M. Weaver, Mr. and Mrs. George Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Harper, Mr. and Mrs. Smith Mrs. Washington and Grandson, Mrs. Oscar Edwards, Mrs. George Rice, Mrs. Jamieson, Mrs. Susie Hendrix, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Levy and mother of Louisville, Mr. Willie Berry, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Berry. MISS MARIE JOHNSTONE Philadelphia, Sept. 5.—Miss Marie Johnstone, a graduate of Provident hospital and an employee of the city of Chicago as a trained nurse, died here Monday of a nervous breakdown. She had a large funeral and many floral designs. Her parents are grief-striken. Her many friends in Chicago will be surprised to hear of her demise. IS IT POSSIBLE? One of the best things about being good is to be still about it.—Waldo Baston. --- Mayor Harrison give license to such a theater with such a policy? Two of our most representative people called at the theater on Tuesday evening and were told at the box office that "balcony only for colored people."

Educational day at our church was a red letter day in point of services. The sermon delivered at 11 o'clock by the pastor was enjoyed very much by the large audience present and proved very helpful along many lines. The regular educational sermon at 3 o'clock, by Rev. H. E. Stewart, was a masterpiece. Although the audience was small, Dr. Stewart seemed to be at his best. The practical truths enunciated regarding education, reinforced by the spirit of inspiration, were uplifting and enlightening to everyone present. Dr. Stewart is always welcome to our pulpit and by our people. Our evening service reached its climax in the splendid paper on education, commendatory of Livingston College, delivered by Mrs. Fannie Barrier-Williams. It was a rare treat and the audience listened with an interest whose intensity was noticeable. We were charmed by the music rendered by the choir and especially so by the solo with which Mrs. J. T. Holland favored us. Five persons united with the church during the day and our offerings passed the sixty dollar mark. It is pleasing to note the increase in attendance upon our Sunday school and the growing interest manifested. The school meets at 1:15 p. m. Mr. C. J. Jackson, the superintendent, is putting forth every effort to make the school what we believe it should be. Sunday services will be as usual. The pulpit will be occupied morning and evening by the pastor. The evening services will begin in the future at 7:45 p. m. instead of 8 p. m. Sister Viney Bates is sick in the Provident hospital. Brother J. H. Holland is confined to his home, 2734 Arnour avenue. ST. MARY'S A. M. E. CHURCH. 5251 Dearborn St.—Rev. Jas. Higgins Pastor. Services, 10:45-7:45. Sunday school, 1:30, C. E., 6:45. The pastor preached to a large congregation Sunday morning. Dr. George Scott of Louisville, Ky., preached to an appreciative and crowded house Sunday evening. Rev. E. T. White of the Ohio conference will preach Sunday morning. The pastor is collecting his conference claims and dollar money. Monday, Sept. 8, the pastor's aid will give a dinner. WAYMAN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH The closing service of the conference year will be held at Wayman Chapel the second Sunday in September. Next Sunday morning the pastor will preach from the subject, "The Christians' Refuge." The entire boards of the church will turn out and occupy special places. The morning choir will take up its special work again and will furnish a short musical at the morning service. The services will begin promptly at 11 a. m. Marching up in order. The sermon at 8 p. m. will be illustrated. Life-size views and illustrated songs will be a special feature of the service. In order that the entire scenes might be enjoyed it will be necessary to attend the service early. The Sunday school, under the direction of Miss B. Watts, will begin Sunday at 1 p. m. Next Sunday light refreshments will be served to the entire school. Also a good program will be rendered. THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH 3825 Dearborn Street. Rev. A. J. Carey, D.D. Ph.D., Minister and Warden. The revival meetings started Sunday with every indication of great success. Rev. R. A. Adams, D. D., who is conducting the meetings, has thoroughly drilled a large and earnest choir in the latest "gospel songs." His sermons Sunday were beautiful, touching and profound, filled with the spirit of the Christ and wonderfully impressive. There were four accessions during the day. The meetings during the week have been well attended and very interesting. A raised platform accommodating one hundred singers lends to the impressiveness and beauty, as well as to the effectiveness of the service. Tomorrow Dr. Adams will conduct three services. The pastor leaves on Monday and hopes that every member will pay his or Conference claims at once, as the Conference will convene immediately after the pastor's return, and he is anxious to make a good report. HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH After four weeks' absence the pastor, Dr. C. Lee Jefferson, returned from his vacation and was greeted by a large congregation on Sunday. He spent the time in Ohio and Cleveland, visiting his sister, Mrs. W. J. Nelson. The Sabbath school was well attended and much interest manifested by both teachers and pupils. The C. E. service was led by Elder A. J. Watkins, who gave an interesting talk upon the topic. The pastor stated that one of the church trustees, Mr. H. A. Midgett, continued dangerously ill with lung trouble. Mr. Washington Craighead, who has been confined to his room for several weeks, is able to be out. Mrs. Jeffries, mother of Mr. H. M. Jeffries, of May street, left for her in South Beno, Ind., after spend- two months here. Mrs. Jessie Wobb and daughter, Miss Lillian, are visiting in Benton Harbor, Mich. The Englewood Lyceum reopened its fall program with a reunion social on Friday evening. The president, D. W. Johnson, set forth in pleasing manner the alms of the association. Then all were served with ice cream and cake and spent the time in a social way. Dr. C. Lee Jefferson and family were aroused from the arms of sweet slumber on Saturday night by the sudden coming of fifty-odd of their many friends ladened with a practical solution of the high cost of living.

The president was also pleased and promised another good speaker for Sunday, Sept. 7. Attorney Parker's talk on opportunity was highly appreciated. We hope to have him with us again in the near future. Remarks by the pastor, Rev. Edw. R. Lewis, and President Caldwell were instructive as well as enthusiastic.

On last Sunday Dr. Roberts preached morning and evening. Both of his sermons dealt in a general manner with racial conditions. At the morning hour his text was taken from Acts 23:9, subject "Christianity Lends Vision to the Soul—Optimism." He advised his audiences to be of good cheer, holding out to them the belief that God with right would yet triumph. At the evening service his text was found in Matthew 16:26, subject "Profit versus Loss." Here he urged the developing of Christian character above everything else, reminding his hearers that God with one is a majority. Dr. Roberts' firm stand against dancing, theater going, etc., is indeed commendable. The Allen C. E. League was favored with the presence of the pastor, who spoke at length on prayer as one of the essentials of missionary work. Do not fail to hear Miss Brown, an African princess, at the C. E.

The reopening of the Wabash ave- nue Y. M. C. A. building with all its full and complete equipment Labor Day seems to have stirred the colored population of Chicago from the bot- tom, for every minute from 2 to 10 p. m. brought a fresh flood of astonished and interested visitors. ‘The reception committee was well nigh helpless, and the guides talked and explained until they were hoarse, but so great was their enthusiasm they struggled and squeaked out their information, that the ladies might find out all the de- tails of the men's new home and understand what the subscribers were subscribing for. At 2:30 the boys’ division gave an exhibition in the gymnasium, showing the kind of body-building exercises the boys are given to strengthen their muscles and properly set them up. They had calisthenics, a wand drill, and elephant vaulting, which proved to be very interesting and at the same time amusing to the spectators, who cheered the efforts of the boys en- thusiastically. Their work was very creditable for boys who began only a month go to attend the class. The exhibition was conducted by Mr. H. W. Hammond, boys’ work director. In the basket ball game the high schoo! boys defeated the grammar school boys, 16 to 10, After this show the guides led the first lines into the $10,000 natatorium, where every soul sighed with regret that they could not then and there plunge into the big white lined lake with its watts walls and perfectly clean water. Mr. Allison, who stood guard on the banks, could convince visitors that the pool was four feet at one end and eight feet at the other only by using a nine- foot pole, which he inserted ‘every time a visitor expressed doubt.

There have been many a sad happenin in large cities such as Chicago, but one of the saddest in Chicago in recent years was the death of Edward Hawkins, a young man who for the last twenty years had made his home in Chicago, like many other young men of good families and standing who was stricken with pneumonia ten days ago and was taken to Provident hospital where he died just one week from the day he was taken here. His body was sent to his dear old mother whom I knew very well in Georgia, whose arms will be open to receive his blood, the she received him in life. Ed. was a brave man with a big heart and as proud as a peacock, and all the harm he ever done was to himself. If ever there was a lesson that ought to have its effect on the average young man, it is the death of Edward Hawkins. But the saddest part of it all is that a young life should be sacrificed to teach the lesson. R. R. MEN'S BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION. The railroad men are crowding the rooms of the Benevolent Association at 3458 State street, asking information from R. J. Holloway, president, and R. Delaney and others about the aims and object of the organization. The real object of the new organization is to break down prejudice in the industrial field and to open the door of opportunity for the young colored boy and girl. The Railroad Men's Benevolent and Industrial Association is destined to be one of the strongest institutions in the country operated byOLOR, the nation in which the men are taking hold, it will not be a far-distant day before the organization will be of great help to the race. R. J. Holloway is the president, C. H. Hunster, secretary, and E. D. Lindsey, treasurer. Dark Hair and Greatness Dark brown to black is the prevailing hue on the heads of great men. A list of fifty names has been compiled in which the color of hair is given by blographers, and ninety per cent. are dark brown or black. There is not, strange to say, a single mention of premature grayness, nor a single case of that ashen brown color known as "singed" or "mouse colored." Produces No Finished Products. Egypt is solely a producer of raw material. Its entire needs of manufactured goods and prepared material are met from abroad. Raw cotton represents four-fifths of the total value of its exports and cotton and seed four-sevenths of the remainder. The public debt of Egypt amounts to $430,634,014 and is almost wholly of foreign holding. Jam While You Walt A unique record was recently made by a well-known English jam concern. Adjoining the factory is a strawberry plantation which produced the berries for this year's jam. The space is one hour the strawberries were picked, boiled into jam, and placed into jars ready for packing. Bank Notes That Talk: Bank notes that speak have been patented by an English inventor, to baffle forgers. The edge of the note is perforated so that, when placed in a phonograph, the rough edge generates sound waves that form words. A dispenser placed on the note would say, for instance, "I am a genuine five-pound note." Weather Forecast: When the horns of the moon are clearly discernible by the naked eye, it means that there is nothing in the atmosphere to obscure them. An atmosphere as clear as this generally indicates that it has been swept by the winds in the upper ether, and these winds will probably reach the earth before long.

Call Douglas 7298 WOMEN DOING LESS TALKING French Scientist Makes the Assertion and Gives Reasons for the Somewhat Strange Change. M. Dubudout, a French scientist, has recently given out some startling facts, which appear to show that the tendency of woman to talk is actually growing less, and that if this alarming decline keeps up the woman of a thousand years from now may be man's silent partner, speaking seldom and only when words are absolutely necessary. "This strange change," he says, "can be explained in several ways. For that there has been a change I have no longer any doubt, after my extended observation, France, but in America, and England, and Italy, and Spain. Women are not the persistent, animated conversationals that they were 20 years ago." "Take, for instance, women in restaurants and at public places of all kinds, where they are seen freely moving about with men. Everywhere you see the men taking not only their own share in the conversation, but even leading it in many cases. At receptions, too, and at public dinners, the fair sex seems, for some time now, to be letting the reins of conversation slip from their hands. "One explanation for this queer state of affairs is that women, with their growing interest in outside doings, in business and politics, and in the strenuous pursuit of careers independent of men, are becoming more woman whose mind is absorbed with some burning question of the day, or who is greatly concerned over the success of her next business venture, or the popular approval of her latest book or picture or song, is not nearly so likely to keep up a running fire of light conversation as her more carefree sister of 20 years ago. "If the man she is with shows an inclination to talk she is more than willing to let him. It gives her greater opportunity to follow out her own train of thought, while outwardly she pretends to drink in every word that he says. "The old-fashioned woman was not interested in self-adventure. Neither did her own affairs absorb her. She chatted on constantly, sometimes interestingly, cleverly, occasionally, even brilliantly, but always more or less superficially. Now she is interested more deeply in things, she does not seem able to talk about them so readily." M. Dubudut claims to have spent over a year studying this question, and to have gathered actual statistics, first hand, from watching men and women in different parts of the world. She Removed Her Hat. Senator Overman, a baseball fan, tells this story of a trip to the Nationals' park: "Near me sat a young man, and behind him was a young woman who wore one of those single plumes, the long, flapping variety. Every time the young man moved the young woman moved also. He tried to crane his neck around that plume, but every time he attempted a strategic move the young woman apprehended and forestalled him. "Suddenly the fan began to clap his hands wildly and cheer. "What's the matter?" his friend asked him. "I'm seeing more of this game than any three people," replied the fan in a glad voice. "Every time that young lady moves her head I see a three-base hit knocked out." "After that the young woman removed the objectionable decoration." Close Corporation. Josephus Daniels, Jr., son of the secretary of the navy, has been receiving nearly all of his father's presents to the exclusion of the other sons in the family. Because his initials are the same as those of his distinguished father, he has a sort of a right of enment domain to the property. Recently the secretary of the navy received a gavel which Josephus, Jr., without to appropriate by and with his father's consent. "This will not do," announced Mrs. Daniels. The secretary of the navy inquired why. "Because," said Mrs. Daniels, "I don't want you to forsake your lifelong principles and establish a close corporation in the family at this late day." Josephus, Jr., gave the present to Worth Bagley Daniels and the close corporation was forever broken. Profitable Dreams. Authors and musicians are not the only dreamers of profitable dreams. St. Augustine records that a discipline of his, having to lecture on Cleoar's rhetorical books, was baffled by a certain passage. He slept, and in a dream his master, who was really far away and unconscious of the whole thing, appeared to him and expounded the passage. In 1893 Herr Hiprecht, professor of Assyriology in the University of Pennsylvania, was worried over two small fragments of agate found at Babylon, of which he had received drawings. In his dream a tail, this Assyriian priest told him they "belonged together," being portions of an inscribed votive cylinder which had been cut up to make earrings for the statue of a god. The professor found next day that the fragments did fit and make a continuous inscription. Gypsy's Van His Castle A curious incident occurred in connection with a case before the magistrates at High Wycombe, when a traveling gypsy named Amer was charged with drunkenness, while his daughter was proceeded against for obstructing the police. It was stated that a constable at Stokenchurch arrested the defendant, and it was alleged that his daughter obstructed the police. Amer succeeded in liberating himself, entered his caravan and locked himself in. The police thereupon seized the van, which was driven, with the accused inside, to the police station at High Wycombe, five miles distant. Amer and his daughter were both fined £1, including costs—London Eve 31st St. Garage 12 East 31st Street BARBER SHOP PORTER Increase your income, make every call TAN LEATHER C. B. McFARLAND, A.

Jack Johnson may have a chance yet to be great if his color is not against him. Unless something is done to check the flood of letters of praise that The Defender is receiving we will be compelled to ask for a donation for a larger hat. Many of the society lads stayed up August 31 to see September morn, judging from the lot who were seen playing tennis in Washington Park the 1st inst. Now that 35th and State is fast becoming the busiest and most popular corner on the south side, we trust that it will not be possible for the police to inform the citizens of the underworld that their presence is not wanted. People are saying the same things about you that you are saying about somebody else. Now if what you say is true, why may not what they say also be true? Don't you see why you ought to shut your big mouth and keep it shut? Doubtless there is very little the colored people of the state of New York can do to aid Gov. Sulzer in his present difficulty, but he has shown a friendly interest in their welfare that at least letters of sympathy and encouragement could be sent him. Three things above all others do: I keep Chicago out of your system. If he not rush the can. not eat pig's feet, pork shop sny. this may not keep you out cry, but if when you come yine. People smile and grin before your face, but just as you leave them to walk away if you but only knew what they are thinking or saying at your back you would not be half the fool they think you are. Of course all such people are too common for decent consideration. This week has seen an exodus of visitors, the school bell being responsible for their reluctant departure. Never before has Chicago seen such a galaxy of beautiful girls from all parts of the country, and never before has such efforts been put forth to make their stay a pleasant and enjoyable one. There is but one real summer resort, and that is the "Windy City." Listen! Obser7or, in speaking of Brazil, in the Tribune, said, in the northern section there are 23,000,000 Negroes, one-half full blood, the other half are half and quarter blood, but he did not observe that 95 per cent of all Brazil are Negroes, nor that Negro boys are in the government naval academy as well as the military and they enjoy the distinction of admirals in the navy and generals in the army. Surely our government would not seek trade with a "nigger" republic? Now that school is open it is the duty of every father and mother to see that their children attend and not wait until they are forced to by the truant officer. The Chicago schools offer exceptional advantages in the way of education and it is imperative in this day and time to have a good foundation to embark in any profession or business. "Back to the farm" is a slogan that might appeal to some, but even so, agriculture has become a science, and the best results are attained by men who use brain and not brawn. What would happen if the Negroes of this country would resort to the same methods the suffragettes of London are using to right their wrongs? They are only a small band of women, comparatively speaking, but they are doing as much damage as an army. They are now taking up rife practice, preparatory to enforcing their demands for ballots. The Negro has heretofore been only humbly pleading for his rights and has in return received but kicks. He is waking up and when he does fully realize what has been done to him somebody will hear about it. It seems a very difficult matter to find out by whose order the objectional signs of discrimination were placed in the government buildings at Washington. Each man higher up seems to know less than the preceding one. It appears to be a third rail proposition. Perhaps our old "friend" Vardaman will step out in the limelight as the culprit, when he hears of our quandary. However, they have been removed and, we trust, to stay. When such things are permitted at the Capitol, the very seat of the government, what can be expected of the states that have given evidence of their hostility towards us. If the vice commission continues to be as active as they have in the past Chicago will be as model a city as Zion. The closing of disreputable houses and rum shops and keeping them closed was a big step forward. A how went up when the denizens of the redlight district were driven from their old stamping ground, 22d street, because it was feared they would locate in residential sections and be more obnoxious and detrimental to the community than if they were allowed in a proscribed territory. While it is true those people must live some place, it is also true they will be less bold and more easily regulated when they are not bunched together like a colony of lepers. While it is recognized the evil cannot be entirely abolished it is possible to so control it to give the least offense and keep it under cover so it will not be a pitfall for our young men and women. DO NOT BE MISLED BY THE WHITE MEN'S UNIONS GONNED, CONFERRED Do not allow yourselves to become excited over the agitation in the daily papers relative to the Pullman porters being used as a cat's paw for the prospective union of porters and conductors. The Pullman porters are too wise to be led into any such a movement. A burned child dreads the fire. If that is true then why should the colored man be a part of any movement that is only fostered to use him for the time being. It is possibly true that the conductor cannot get along without the porter in such a movement, but on the other hand, the porter is better off without the conductor, as his motive is to fight the capitalist, which means the taking out of the mouth of the colored man his bread and meat. -Julius N. Avendorph. AMERICAN PREJUDICE But for the fact that public sentiment is constantly at work antagonizing the interests of the Negro nobody would ever think of acting improperly toward us as a people. Public sentiment has made the world too cowardly to act brotherly. The Negro is not despised because his conduct is any different from other people's. He is hated because it is contrary to the popular notion to do otherwise. No one would ever think that the Negro could corner any kind of monopoly in anything. The trouble which comes upon the Negro in the main is when he is trying to do what other people do who enjoy special privilege. And then prejudice is the child of ignorance. Not that to be ignorant is to be prejudicial. But to be ignorant of one's noble principles, pure habits, mode of living, tastes, customs, etc., and their intellectual natures, and then to show indifference to become acquainted that the Negro enjoys such forces of character is the rankest prejudice, and the most barbaric ignorance. If the white people of America were honest they would eliminate the color of one's skin from the proposition of manly qualities; and womanly attributes. Produdice has only hindered the pre- world; it has nev- from some ulterior motive other than that anything is wrong with us, but rather that it makes them popular, but popular only in a short lived sense. The cheap benefit accruing makes the heart narrow, gives a snarl to the features and a twang to the voice; it turns the spirit of eudemonism into the artfulness of Satan, and makes earth, which should be man's heaven, a bell of horrors. Prejudice is some symptom of dishonesty, especially when it comes to giving the Negro fair play, and most people are guilty of this kind of human deprivation. BLIND BUSINESS MEN TO WHAT an absurd extent prejudice will lead a man is illustrated by an occurrence that happened in Springfield. A leading physician was desirous of purchasing an automobile, finding that a dealer's one to his liking ordered it sent to his home. Some bushybodies, learning of it, went to the dealer and threatened to boycott him if he sold a car to—well, what they usually call us—so this chicken-heated dealer refused the sale, thereby cutting off his nose to spite his face. It is hard to conceive of a man being such a fool. This is a great big world and it isn't hard to find people who think the colored man's money as negotiable as the white man's. There seem to be races other than our own that lack business ability. The Defender up to date hasn't refused to accept subscriptions simply because the applicant was a pale face. NOW IS THE TIME FOR DISCIPLNE. Don't watch your girl or your boy; if you need to correct them, do it. If they are ugly and inclined to talk back to you, if you don't snatch a table leg and knock it out of them they'll knock dollars out of your pocket in paying fines to keep them outside of high walls. Train your children. Don't let them train you. If a girl is sassy, collar her and floor her, and give her those old time gentle reminders that your mother used to give you. This may make her respectable; that is, if it had that good effect on you. They are using the same old methods to tame horses. Why should there be any change in breaking children? "Spare the rod and spoil the child?" Your child may not need it, but is your child any great improvement on those in the best families that have gone astray? MAKE FRIENDS The onrush of business which will necessitate well educated clerks, stagegraphers, canvassers, collectors, bookkeepers, solicitors, writers of advertisements, accountants, operators of machinery by steam and electricity, gives the notice to the world that the Negro is keeping step in the rapid march of civilization, and those who have preceded him by a few short centuries are beginning to act as though they can hear his steady, thundering tread as he plants his footprints on terra firma. It is well that no opportunity should escape to us all the more firmly entrench ourselves in a better public sentiment, nor lose sight of the benefits to be assured by keeping up a warm friendliness with people of other races, out of whose hearts a neighborly fellow feeling may take strong root and grow. Nothing we may do will survive the flight of years in a hundred different activities if while preparing ourselves to fill responsible places of usefulness we should forget to cultivate the heart feeling of those who can antagonize, oppose, combine and obstruct us. Prejudice need not afflict us while race loyalty flourishes. No one need be hated as our race love grows and thrives. The world is not so bad when we can see very much goodness. Life is not so dreary to those who can catch a whiff of pleasure here and there. People in fact are not so mean as when we strive to be charitable and noble. The Negro in fact is not so objectionable when he is doing his best to add to the world's output his full quota of patient, earnest, sober endeavor. SOME SOMBRE HOT STUFF FOR GIRLS. The Chicago Defender deplores the tendency of the girls of the race now entering high school in their mad scramble for a good time to overlook the deep and serious import of real knowledge, how it is attained, and absolute forgetfulness of some fixed notion about life in general, and the noble purposes of life, busy with hearts and hands to be useful in the world. We have all been young and we may drop a hint that we know the trend and tendencies of human nature of the young. The risk in assuming that the bright and promising may be regarded as an asset is frequently in the balance, and when the parents show but little concern about the fitness of things and life's high purposes there will be seen some leaning toward their lines of least resistance until all resistance to forms and habit of disregarding right living is lost as a result of right people being seen only in fine lamination, feathers, powder, and a cunning sneer, and some condemning contempt for people who counsel modesty, purity and goodness. You readers of The Defender, mother, father, sister, brother, guardian or friend, see to it that your girl of fifteen, sixteen, seventeen or eighteen now in school be awakened from the hypnotic spell of a "good time," that is if she is fit to go to school; that she is fit to counsel and advise. You had better tell her that her good name is more the niches or splendor. You had better tell her that once she is deceived she will be lost to goodness and respectability, and that decent people will blush with shame when her name is called, and that she will be cut off by her own sad conscience from good associates that might influence her to reclaim the nobler attributes of decency and good order. You had better tell her to still obey the mother whose heart bleeds in food expectancy that she will continue pure and good. You had better tell her that it is enjoined upon her to keep your family name out of the mud. --- THE CHICAGO DEFENDER The schools of our city opened September 2 and it is estimated that over 310,000 children of school age would be registered in the various schools of this city. With the opening of school will come crowding, less ventilation, confinement in the house, increased contagion, and sickness among school children will become more prevalent. There will be some careless parents who will allow their children to be disease carriers and thus endanger other children. With the change of habits of activity, such as playing on the commons and in the parks, to a life of less activity and confinement will also come increased responsibility for careful inspection in order to be ready to prevent and detect any of the diseases of childhood, such as scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria, tonsillitis, smallpox, tuberculosis and adenoids. All these diseases are to be considered in changing from habits of activity in the open air to sedentary habits in bad air in the school room. Every parent should have pride enough in his child to have a careful examination made of it before the opening of school of during the first week of school in order that the child may not be permitted to enter upon its school work handicapped. Children's teeth should be examined and cared for from the time the child is 2 years old until it is out from under your parental care. Decayed teeth are often sources of infection and often responsible for the backwardness of children in school. The teeth should be examined and cared for every six months. The child should be taught early to use the toothbrush in cleansing its teeth after each meal, using ordinary warm water. Have the child cultivate the habit of regularly cleansing the mouth and teeth and it will add to its good health and do away with dental bills. The hr man teeth, if properly cared for, wi. remain in good condition as long as one lives. In order to be ready to detect enlarged tonsils and adenoids children's throats and noses should be frequently examined by a competent physician. Adenoids are a great hindrance to mental development. They are often inductive to improper breathing and, in fact, in many instances they entail obstruct the nasal passage and often hinder not only mental development but physical development. Many a child, apparently stupid, backward and slow of intelligence, undersized physically, will show a reverse of these conditions if the adenoids are properly removed. Chronically inflamed tonsils will often lead to swollen glands of the neck, ear trouble, rheumatism and general systematic infection. In fact the tonsils are the most prevalent source of rheumatism and inflamed joints. Moral: Have your child's tonsils properly treated or removed. Swollen glands of the neck are often due to tuberculosis or syphilis, and should be properly treated. Tubercular glands of the neck can often be cured in children by the proper use of approved hygienic methods and the proper use of O. T. tuberculin. Don't wait until the glands get soft, burst, or break down, and cause a running sore before you seek medical attention. Give the child a chance. Every child has a right to be well born. We should endeavor to give a child a clean bill of health. Eyes of children should be regularly examined and cared for, avoiding at all times reading by a poor light. In reading the light should always fall over the shoulder and never from the front. When the child complains of its eyes burning, running water or paining, the eyes should have a rest, and a physician should be consulted. Never force the child to study when tired. The eyes should be bathed often in clear cold water and protected by using a soft, mild light. Flickering gas light or brilliant electric light are never good for studying. We plead for more attention to be given to the general conservation of the physical health of the future mothers and fathers and the citizens of the state. Don't confine children too much in the house. They should have plenty of air and room to romp and play. Do not confine a child too much in starting in school. It will take time for its muscles and nerves to get accustomed to the changed conditions. Children under 14 should be compelled to do very little studying at home of nights. Ten hours' sleep is best for them. They should be given a generous, good, mixed diet for breakfast every morning. Don't send the child to school on a cold breakfast consisting of sardines, bananas, crackers or something of this character. Don't buy knicknacks to take the place of good, regular, wholesome meals. This is extravagant and injurious to the child's stomach and teaches habits of irregularity as to eating and the care of the home. The health, the education and the general well-being of your child should be your deepest concern. very voice of God in active warfare with Satan who would destroy her. As you know who would destroy her. You had better tell her that stealing away down back streets in order to get to walk with the boys will corrode her conscience until she will begin to break confidences with her best friend on earth, her mother, and finally it will be easy for her to lend her nature to the condemnation and fury of the damned. PREACHING VS. PRACTICING: One of our wise leaders has declared that the only way to solve the eternal questions pertaining to the Negro race is to accumulate money, property, and the rudiments of education. Another thunders forth the advice: "Agitate, fight!" We stand midway between these two extremes and say, blunt the two and sooner or later we, like the pioneers of California, will cry out in rapture, "Eureka!" we have found it; the solution of the question which, like Banquo's ghost, will not down. "Tis never wise to wink hard to keep from seeing a fact that stands out as prominent as a boll on the back of your neck. For years we have endeavored to tell our better senses to sleep with the thought that there was a common platform upon which the Negro and the white man could stand without any feeling of race, color or previous condition; but in these later days we have been rudely awakened to the fact that the average white religionist, the "Fatherhood God" and the Brotherhood of Man" are beautiful in the abstract but hideous in the concrete. There is on Michigan avenue and imposing structure of stone and mortar dedicated to the worship of God and the service of humanity, with its spire pointing heavenward. Over the entrance the words, "God is love," shine forth by day and night. On a convenient sign board the words, "If you are tired come in and rest." Beautiful sentiments these. They sound Christlike and inviting—but alas they are only sentiments, only sound and nothing more. There once attended that same congregation a Negro and his family, who for reasons best known to themselves preferred attending a white congregation. The pastor of the church said to them in conversation, anent the Negro question, "I wish you would attend a church of your own color, because I think a man of your mentality would be a valuable adjunct to a Negro congregation, whereas he can be of no particular service here." That was a diplomatic way of saying that the presence of the Negro family was not wanted in that white congregation. It chanced several weeks later there was a rally held in the same church to raise money to meet a certain obligation. The Negro in question place, offering it to the table and the pastor handed it back to him with the advice to give it to some Negro congregation. "Twas a brutal thing for that pastor to do, but it had the effect of awakening the Negro to the fact that the theory of the Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God was a myth as far as that pastor was concerned. And it was not long after this that he united with a Negro congregation. But, you say, this is an extreme case. No, it is a typical one. The average white minister does not want Negroes in his congregation, and like pastor like people. A white minister said not long ago no one knew the origin of the Negro. It was suggested to him the text "God hath made of one blood men of all races." No, said he, that quoting is wrong. It reads "That God has made of ONE, men to dwell upon the earth." And, continued he, the ONE referred to pertains to a spiritual birth as experienced in Christ. Granted that his interpretation of the above quoted text he right, his practice is wrong, for he can no more endure a Negro than a man with wax legs can endure the flames of hell. Whether we admit it or not the fact remains that the same prejudice that exists in the industrial world, in the realm of society and commerce, anent the Negro, permeated the church that Christ died to establish. The Utopia is still in the dim distant future, and its realization depends largely upon the white men recognizing their obligation to teach and practice that God hath made of one blood men of all nations, and that there is a universal fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man. Until then let us blend the two extremes as represented by that splendid leader of Tuskegee and that ripe scholar who monthly edits the Crisis. THE POET. In a small city flat all alone with the cat He wrote on such topics as these: "Does spring ever spring?" "Why some birds sing." "The reason the fly sometimes flees." The editor read the MMS. and said As he tossed them to the breeze: "We can't use that stuff; here's a dime, that's enough To get you some crackers and cheese." DR. CAREY TO DELIVER ORATION Dr. A. J. Berry, minister and warden of the Institutional Church and Dearborn Settlement, leaves Monday for Put-in-Bay, O., where he goes to deliver one of the centennial addresses on September 10 at the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of Perry's victory on Lake Erie. This is one of the most notable events of the year. President Woodrow Wilson, ex President William Howard Taft, the British ambassador, and Dr. J. H. McDonald of Canada are the other speakers. A monument costing $250,000, erected by the United States government, will be unveiled, and the bodies of the soldiers and seamen buried a hundred years ago will be exhumed and re-interred in the crypts of this magnificent monument. Mrs. Carey will accompany the doctor, and they will be guests of the Hotel Breakers, where the presidential and diplomatic parties will stop.

EXAMINATION. NOSE AND THROAT. EYES WHOLESOME FOOD NEEDED. PRESS SERVICE. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. A fly's foot is dalynt enough as to size, but it can hold enough typhoid germs to make it a big factor in spreading disease. The death rate of a community is largely affected by its housing conditions; for if these are bad the death rate will be high. In these health notes we have frequently called attention to rats as carriers of disease, and to the importance of ridding our communities of these dangerous pests. Here, however, are a few concrete examples that illustrate quite forcefully the damage to property on rat-infested premises: An Iowa farmer reports that in one winter rats destroyed 500 bushels of corn, of which he had 2,000 bushels stored in crubs. Another farmer in one summer lost over 400 chicks by rats; still another admits that his losses due to rats in one season would pay his taxes for three years. But the most remarkable story is told by a merchant in Washington, D. C., who had 100 dozen eggs in a tub stored in a basement. Inside of two weeks rats had carried off 71 dozen without leaving shell or stain or any marks of their depreciations save the hole they gnawed into the tub. People are sometimes slow to act in matters of health and sanitation unless the danger is apparent and threatens immediate harm. In matters affecting property, however, they are more inclined to adopt prompt and vigorous measures for protecting themselves against loss. It would seem, too, that with both health and property at stake there should be a strenuous and unrelenting war of extermination waged against rats. It may safely be predicted that with the steady advance of sanitary knowledge the next twenty-five years will see many of the common diseases of today wiped out of existence. Time was when whole cities were practically decimated by the ravages of epidemic diseases that today can not only be controlled, but absolutely prevented by the application of the sanitary knowledge we now have. Cities of our present time are studying community health problems as they were never studied before, and, while there is yet much progress to be made, the present-day conditions as affecting human comfort and safety are so far ahead of those of fifty years ago as to warrant the highest hopes as to their continued improvement for centuries to come. In fact the efforts of men to make this world a safer, more beautiful place in which to live will not cease until the dawning of the millennium of bodily health and comfort shall be heralded and known to all the races of the earth.

Determining Current of Electricity Determining Current of Electricity. There is a very simple manner, which is not generally known, of determining the character of the electricity which one may happen to want to make use of. It is well known that implements which are made for the direct current are not available where the current is used, and in order to ascertain which kind of current is passing through the wires it is only necessary to hold a small horse-shoe magnet up to one of the lamps. If it is alternating current the filament will vibrate, but if it is direct current the filament will lean toward the magnet. Ornamenta Worn by Dancing Girls. An interesting collection of silver pieces from India, including numerous ornamental objects formerly worn by dancing girls, has just been placed on exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History. It was presented to the museum by J. G. Phelps Stokes. There are altogether more than forty examples in the collection, representing various types of native work. Thought Cows Were Mourning. It was Tommy's first day in the country, and everything surprised him. About sunset one day a herd of cows returning from pasture came following their leader slowly and solemnly in single file along the forest path within sight of Tommy and his mother. After watching them for some time in silence the little city boy exclaimed: "Oh, mother, is it a cow funeral?" Odious. Aln't It? Bing—The way these colleges scatter around their dee-ces is absolutely nauseating. Every Tom, Dick and Harry with a little cheap notoriety can figure on getting one.

Campaigning Station Found a Reason for Primitive Tare They Encountered in Noble Mansion. 1 "When I was making my campaign last fall," said Representative Fields of Kentucky, "I started out to cover a county in which I was but little acquainted. Believing, like Polonius, that a fine front was a valuable asset, I arrayed myself in my best. When I got off the train at the county seat, whence I was to make my start, I met the candidate for judge on my ticket, and, making known to him my views, I found he agreed with me. "Accordingly, after putting up in the best quarters at the best hotel in the town, we next morning engaged the handsomest rig the best livery stable could boast, and, with a haughty driver on the box, sailed forth to conquer. "Night overtook us some miles from the village at which we had expect ed to put up, but soon after it fell we spied through the gloom an imposing looking mansion with many lights agleam. "Ringing the bell, we announced ourselves; whereupon a hospitable gentleman came out and ushered us into a parlor whose modest furnishing seemed out of all keeping with the dignity and size of the mansion. "When, later, we went to a belated supper, we were astonished to find a spacious dining-room furnished as barely as the parlor. "It's the true yeoman spirit! explained the candidate for judge, and we got through a most meager meal as best we could. "We were up betimes next morning, after sleeping in most primitive quarers, that did injustice to the noble man, after a breakfast or a par with the soup in our rig and started away. Reaching the summit of a hill some half a mile away, we paused to look back at our night's resting place. Just then a horseman drew up beside us. "What place is that? I queried. "That? he replied. "Why, that's the county poorhouse!" Safe Topic. In his book, "The Balkan War," Philip Gibbs, the war correspondent, says that the official regulations for war correspondents who were sent out to the Balkans were appallingly severe. Mr. Gibbs found that he is forbidden to describe the disposition of troops, to give the names of generals, the names and number of the wounded, the success or failure of Bulgarian troops, the state of the soldiers health, the conditions of the climat and so on. When the censor had to him dit this, Mr. Gibbs asked pilitely: "Will you tell me, sir, if there anything about which we shall allowed to write?" The censor thought deeply for moment and then answered qu gravely: "There is much interest in I garian Literature." "Perhaps," Mr. Gibbs suggested; casically. "I may also be permit to describe the song of the birds?" "Yes." Canadian Nicknames Our overseas brethren are knicknames, remarks the Lc. Chronicle.

One of the most remarkable illustrations in all history of the ill effects the disappearance of forests may served in Palestine, says the Christian Herald.

SCRIPT OF MAD “EMPEROR” Relic Presented to San Francisco Mu- seum a Reminder of the Early Dee ur hat cit, ‘The old days of San Francisco—that period about twenty years ago when the “Guttersnipe,” ““Topay-‘Turvey,” “The Great Unknown” and other f2- mous street characters were daily sights in the city—are recalled vividly by @ donation made Inst week to the Golden Gate Park Memorial museum. Chris W. Smith gave the muscum a pleco of script Issued by the far-famed “Emperor” Norton, the millionaire plo- neer, whose reason went with the loss of hls money by unwise speculation. It was in the Isto seventies that ‘Bmperor” Norton held forth In all hie glory. Ho had come to Californta in 1849, had endured all the hardships of that early date, and retired to San Francisco. when his wealth hed Teuched the million mark. He was not violently Insane, stmply possessed of the hallucination that this was one Vast empire, over which he ruled, and that those whom he daily passed on the streets were hfs humble subjects. The plece of script presented to the Park museum §s perhaps tho only relfe of one habit of “Emperor” Norton. Striding into a store or into a place of liquid refreshment, the “emperor” would, Ina dignified manner, order whatsoever he wighed. In payment be would give a piece of script such as that received by the museui, or may- hap @ personal check. More than once, say the old-timers, a $5,000 check was given in payment for a small glass of minera} water. “Hmperor” Norton's script is printed on x blank piece of paper slightly larger than a bank note, and worded as follows: “rhe Imperiat Government of Em- peror Norton [ promises 40 pay holder hereof the sum of ten doliars In the yeur 1889, with interest at five per cent, per annum from date, the prin- cipal and Interest to be converted at the option of the holder at maturity into twenty-year five per cent. bonds, or payable In gold coin.

Che Man tatty ‘Why don't you make more use of your left band? It has been estimated that 97 per cont. of the English-speaking people aro right-anded whou they grow up. Seventeen out of every. hundred are born right-handed, but the remaining 83 are born without any inclination to use one hand more than the other. end, therefore, become right-handed owing to influences brought to bear om them during their childhood days. It is impossible to calculate how much men lose by neglecting thetr left hands. Formerly—in primitive times, that Js to say—everyone was ambt- doxtrous, and the sooner people be- come ambidextrous again the better.

Recent astronomical werk suggests that the sun and its planets form a single unit in a vast aystom, the stare In which, though separated by enormous distances, have a com- mon center of gravity, and in response to gravitation all move in unison like a stupendous machine. The paths of these stars, instead of being nearly clroular, like those of the planets around the sun, are much like the os- ailiations of a pendulum. ‘The calcula- tions show that on hia clongated course our sun must travel 400,000,000 years before completing a revolution, and that it passed near the center less than a million—perhaps-not more than 800,000—years age, and is now on the outward stretch.

In a raid on a buffet flat on the west side of Wabash avenue, near the 32d block, sixteen white men and sixteen colored girls were hauled to the station house last Saturday night, the men being charged with rape. Each of these innocent girls was between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years, under the age of consent. So young were the girls and so beastly had been five of the men that the judge held them over to the grand jury. headlines in every daily paper and sympathy would have gone out toward the "white angels." But when it comes to colored girls, they put the lid on the press and close their eyes to the lust of white men. Thank heaven when it reached court there was a judge who believed in law and justice—said crime is crime in the eyes of the law white and black alike. The five white brutes who had assaulted the girls in the most unbecoming manner were held over to the grand jury for rape. This house on 32nd and Wabash has been a mecca for white men to assault colored girls at the tender age, and the crimes committed there became so numerous and dastardly that the police grade the raid. Although it was known within an hour on the South Side, not a reporter for the white dallies appeared on the scene nor a line the next day in the papers. 1 Had it been white girls and colored men there would have been glaring MEDICAL AND DENTAL MEN'S CONCLAVE Many Wonderful and Successful Operations Done by Physicians from All Over the South and North—Much Good Derived for the Poor as Well as for the Young Practitioner. (Special to the Defender.) Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 5.—A surgical operation by Dr. Dalley of Chicago, a dental clinic of an unusual order conducted by Dr. Chapman of Kansas City, Mo., and an address by Dr. W. F. Penn of Atlanta, the election of Dr. A. M. Brown as the next president, and the decision to hold the next annual meeting at Raleigh, X. C., were among the main features of the recent meeting of the National Medical Association here. The usual round of social life attached to these features completed the program. 1 The opening session was held at Spruce Baptist Church on Monday night and Dr. J. H. Hale, president of the Rock City Academy of Medicine, presided. The mayor of Nashville, Secretary Ira T. Bryant of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, and John I. Watson were the main speakers in delivering the addresses of welcome on behalf of the citizens of Nashville, Dr. William F. Penn of Atlanta, Ga., delivered a response to these addresses that had a telling effect on the entire meeting of the association. His address was a message of progress and was flavored with history, science and sound advice in matters of health, education and happiness. It was easily the best speech delivered during the entire meeting. After the addresses of welcome Dr. Kenney and Tuskegee delivered the president's address, which included statistics and information regarding the past work and future possibilities of the National Medical Association. The administration of Dr. Kenney has been unusually successful and the affairs of the organization were never in better shape than at his retiring. Fifteen operations were performed by local and visiting surgeons during the meeting. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, Dr. Dalley of Chicago, Dr. J. T. Wilson of Memphis, Dr. W. F. Penn of Atlanta, Dr. J. H. Hale of Nashville, Dr. F. A. Stewart, Dr. J. A. McMillan of Nashville, Dr. Perry of Kansas City and Dr. R. H. Burt of Clarkesville were the surgeons present and assisting in these operations. At this writing the patients are all reported as doing well and having hopes of recovery. The entertainment of the visiting ladies at Hubbard Hospital, the siag supper at Greenwood Park Wednesday night for visiting physicians and their friends, and the banquet at Meharry Auditorium on Thursday night were the math social features of the meeting. There were a number of other smaller affairs given throughout the city. Nashville people did their best to make the visitors welcome and they all went away singing the praises of Nashville citizens and their hospitality. Roman Laws Against Suicide Roman laws, permeated with stoic doctrines, looked indulgently upon those who took their own life and frowned only when this means was employed to evade punishment for some capital offense. Retribution, however, followed the suicide, for his goods were confiscated unless some measures were taken to placate the reigning and angered Caesar. Interruptions at Meals Never disturb a man when he is eating. Not only does it irritate him, but it actually interrupts his digestion. No-man who knows anything about dogs will ever disturb an animal at his meal. To call away a dog when he is gnawing a bone is cruel as well as dangerous. A cat that is worrying a mouse will scratch and bite if interrupted. True Wealth. There is no wealth but life, including all its powers of love, of joy and of admiration. That country is the riches which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings; that man is the richest who, having perfected the functions of his own life to the utmost, has also the widest helpful influence.—Ruskin. Copper Sulphate to Destroy Bacilli. A method involving the use of copper sulphate has been perfected in Burham for destroying bacilli which injure tobacco plants through the twigs. Does your wife get up when you call her in the morning? headlines in every daily paper and sympathy would have gone out toward the "white angels." But when it comes to colored girls, they put the lid on the press and close their eyes to the lust of white men. Thank heaven when it reached court there was a judge who believed in law and justice—said crime is crime in the eyes of the law, white and black alike. The five white brutes who had assaulted the girls in the most unbecoming manner were held over to the grand jury for rape. There are still white men who believe in the equality of the law—that young womanhood, virtue and honor among colored women should be protected as women of other races. Mothers should pay more attention to the actions of their young daughters—men should find out the women who are leading young girls astray and selling their birthright. If needed, let there be more raids. Bearded the soundrels in their den. THE EIGHTH REGIMENT'S CAMP.

Lieutenant Lester J. Henderson reported for duty Sunday afternoon, just arriving from Baltimore. Camp Nips. The most popular men in camp are the ones whose wives are at home. The boys say they always did like spring chicken, but Springfield chicken has got him. Sergeant Major Robert A. J. Shaw is the "J. Hamm. Lewis" of the camp. Private E. A. Harper, author of "At the Front," a military play which made such a hit at the Pekin about a year ago, has made arrangements with Company H of Springfield to produce the play in this city this fall. Captain White of the Hospital Corps has justly won the title of Broncho Chloe. If his mount refuses to b jump over a tent he lets him go through it. Lieutenant L. W. Lewis has won a new title. Any of the boys can tell you what it is. Lieutenant Harry W. Jones was regimental adjutant just once, and he never will forget it. For rent signs will be placed on several officers' quarters before the tour of duty ends. The band appeared in white uniforms at dress parade Wednesday evening. They made a fine appearance. Sergeant Berry of the band is all in-too much Baltimore. The band gave a concert at the State Arsenal Wednesday evening which was largely attended. Queer Fable About Cotton. When cotton first came to Europe to make its principal center in Lanchashire it was the subject of the quaint and wonderful table of the "Vegetable Lamb." The fluffy white fibers of the bursting cotton pod so resembled sheep's wool that travelers reported that in Tartary there grew a shrub the fruit or boll of which contained "withnine a lytle Beaste in Flesche, in Bone and Bloode, as though it were a lytle Lambe with outer wool." After the lamb had been eaten the wool was made into cloth, continued this story, which is the earliest European account of the manufacture of cotton. Wallpapers. Paper for screens and partitions of rooms was common in China as early as the fourth century. In the sixteenth century the use of wallpaper became fashionable in Holland, and soon afterwards it was commonly seen in English housef. Originally Chinese papers were printed from blocks, handpainted, or stamped, the designs being exquisite. Modern printing and stamping machines made the manufacture of continuous rolls of wallpaper possible. Father's Parting Words. "Father," announced the young man who was crammed full of undigested education, "I cannot accede to your wishes in this matter. I feel, as the poet did, that I am the captain of my soul." The father gazed silently at the egotistical young cad and then replied: "Very well, son. But you are headed for the bread line and the true captain of his soul wins that title on the firing line." Flnd Right Thing to Do There are many failures because there are many persons trying to do the wrong things. We have no right to repine at a limit until we are sure that we have touched it. In reality, there is always enough for each to do, to accomplish, a plot of land for each to till; the narrowest capacity has something, and that something is enough, satisfyingly and usefully, to fill a lifetime. Extreme of Industriousness "Loafin," said Uncle Eben, "is sumfin' to be discouraged. But what is you g'neter do wf de wman dat is so industrious dat he'd rather be in trouble dan doin' nuffin?" Daily Reminder Immodesty, in itself, wouldn't be so bad, if, in addition, it wasn't always making a fool of itself generally. Father: Well, son, did you make much money during the vacation? Son: Yes, sir. I made enough so I wouldn't have to bother you for anything except my tuition and spending money. --- TRANCE LASTED LONG Awakened in Perfect Health and With Complete Possession of Her Faculties, With No Memory of Her Sleep. There are many cases on record of people remaining in a sleep-like trance for several years, these trances being often caused from injuries to the head, but no one has had so long a sleep as a woman named Caroline Allison, who lives in the little island of Okuo, off the coast of Sweden. The sleeper of Okuo was born in 1861; she was a perfectly normal child, and for the first 14 years of her life she was strong and healthy. She did not go to work till just before her fourteenth birthday. One day she came home complaining of toothache and went to bed. Soon afterward she fell into a deep trance, which lasted from 1875 until 1907, a period of 32 years. While in this state she did not seem to see or hear, nor did she show any trace of feeling, for though her arms were pricked with pins, needles and other sharp instruments she was not once observed to whine. Only once or twice did she seem to wake from her lethargy. On one occasion, in response to a cry from her mother, she moved her lips as if to try and speak. When her mother died Caroline must have been conscious of the fact, for she burst into tears, though there was no other change in her condition. Two years later, when her brother was drowned, she also had a fit of weeping. For 30 years and more her only nourishment consisted of two cupfuls of milk a day. After the death of her brother she was left to the care of a housekeeper, and then gradual signs of awakening intelligence began to dawn. Once she was left alone for several hours with tood near her, and the food was seen to have gradually disappeared. There was no doubt that her trance had been broken. A few months later she regained consciousness, asking for her mother. She did not recognize her brothers at all, for she only remembered them as tiny boys. Gradually she regained possession of her faculties, until at the age of forty-six, she had completely recovered from her trance, being in perfect health and well and hearty in every way. She only remembers her early life, but nothing that happened during her long illness. Her case has completely mystified the doctors, who cannot explain it in any way. Farmer's Fear of Good Methods. A farmer was questioned about buying phosphate and ground limestone to increase the fertility of his farm. This was the way he answered: "Now, see here. Suppose everybody did as you advise, we would be raising so much that prices would be clear down to the lowest notch." "Who are you farming for, your self or the rest of the farming community? You know that if everybody else should do the right thing it would take twenty-five years to get them all into it. In the meantime their bad farming is lessening production and that keeps up prices. You have the chance if you improve it to increase the producing power of your land, take advantage of high prices and get rich before 'everybody' walks up to the situation. Don't it about time you saw these things in the light of your individual interests as a farmer? How absurd it is to go on impoverishing your land for fear that 'everybody' will catch on sometime and reduce prices."—Hoard's Dairy man. Rebate on His Jail Sentan A San Francisco lawyer tells of the following quaint administration of justice in a sparsely settled district in Arizona. A man was sentenced to pay a fine of ten dollars or spend ten days in jail. Inasmuch as he possessed but three dollars, the court accepted that amount in lieu of three of the days of imprisonment. Now, by some carelessness on the part of the jailer, this person was detained in the lockup for the full ten days. Naturally the man filed a claim for redress. When this was presented to the court the presiding judge admitted that the man should have some "allowance and return," but his honor could not see any way to accomplish this. But after due reflection he made the following suggestion: "You might get sentenced again for something. Then we could give you three days for a kind of rebate. That's the only way I see to fix up the matter." Myaticism of the East You hear a great deal of the "Mysticism of the east," writes Ed. W. Howe in his Travel Notes. This mysticism is as foolish as the doggerel used by children when they count the buttons on your coat: "Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief," and so on. Mysticism never means anything. The west solves riddles and discovers how to produce a hundred bushels of corn to the acre; the east pays great attention to mysticism and has more poor, dirty and ignorant people than any other part of the world. When the plague breaks out in the east, as a result of foolish pilgrimages to Mecca or Benares, the pilgrims say the plague is part of the mysticism of the east, and continue to drink holy and dirty water. But the men of the west have a better doctrine. Its chief tenet is, "Clean Up," and the plague disappears before it. Ready. "Why. Mrs. Parkinson, whatatever in the world induced you to buy that dead block dress pattern? Surely, you don't think of giving up bright colors at your age?" "No, but it was a bargain, and I got to thinking it might come in handy, too. Your husband's going deer hunting in the Addrondacks."

Winston. Self-respecting colored railroad men will fight against all monkey men of the race on the road. We have a right of personal expression to our up-to-date railroad men and large circle of acquaintances, and we take no exception to the exercise of this personal privilege, but we are astonished to learn that the Pore Marquette Railroad Company has two monkey parlor car porters. We hope that he has been misinformed and will be happy to learn so. Read the Chicago Defender, men; Mr. Edward Baker, of Detroit, Mich., has returned to his post of duty as a parlor car porter between Grand Rapids and Chicago from his relief. Mr. Baker is a man who is a straightforward gentleman, plays Uncle Tom for no one, just simply a man who works on his merits, and if a passenger wants Mr. Baker that word George or "San Boo" doesn't go with him. He directs them to the name on his cap (Porter)—that's all. Mr. John R. Winston, 4015 Cottage Grove avenue, Chicago, who is on the Pentwater run in service of the Pere Marquette Railroad Company, will take your order for the Chicago Defender, and remember this, pay in advance—no credit. The paper is $1.50 a year, six months $1.00. Have a good time, but remember the Chicago Defender is the paper that is read by all the people of the reading world. We have some characteristics among our colored railroad men. I will say A. E. Pinkney, George Ward, Allen H. Bruntley and a great many more which space will not permit me to insert. These men are over on the P. M. R. R. in dining car service. Mr. J. A. McDonald, of Jersey City, N. J., was in Chicago last week in dining car service of the Erie Railroad Company from New York City. Mr. McDonald is a regular subscriber to the Chicago Defender. The writer notices that Miss City Fuel is cutting quite a figure with some of the railroad men. High brown is leading, and for some cause or another, Miss High Yellow is in the rear. Buffet flats must not be doing a land office business any more. Well, it is time that the railroad men should open their eyes and get wise that five minutes to two booze will cut steel out of a shovel and it is bound to put you on the hog. Read the Chicago Defender and keep posted. Messrs. Maupins and A. H. Miller are still in the service of the Illinois Central to St. Louis, Mo. Also Chas. Hobbs to New Orleans, La., on a buffet smoker. Mr. T. M. Smiley, 2078 Wabash avenue, is now on trains 1 and 2 as train porter to Minneapolis, Minn., in G. S. Jones' place while Mr. Jones is taking a vacation. Mr. Smiley belongs on trains 4 and 5 in service of the Chicago Great Western R. R. Co.

Way out on Winnemac avenue and Robey street the Grace nine took the first game of the Cook County championship from the Buena Parks. ) On a strange diamond, on a bad day, with the crowd against them, they came from behind and made those North Siders realize what they were up against. Eight of our boys stole bases. Lewis, Hardy, Jones, Radford, Peacher, Motley, Thommasnand Baker pilfered sacks at will, while Jones only allowed three of the Buenas to steal, his throws to Radford being perfect. "Mat" Washington whiffed eight of the palefaces, and only walked four of them. Our boys struck out six times, but there were two pitchers against them. Herbie Lewis hit for three bases, both Jones and Motley got two base wallops. Today the same teams meet at Washington, for the first time, one, for the Buenas are trying to redeem themselves while the boys from Grace will try to end the series by taking this game. So interesting has the series become that The Defender will have a representative on the grounds to report every detail. We are still of the opinion that Grace should withdraw from championship games for two years. Buena Park .. 1 0 1 2 0 0 2 0 0 - 6 Time of game - 1:50. Gallagher - Gallagher and Jensen. Scorekeeper - Baler. American Giants Coming Back. The American Giants won two and lost one in their series with the St. Louis Giants. In the Sunday game they bunched hits off of the visiting pitcher in both the fourth and the eighth innings. Pete Hill had a wonderful day at the bat, getting five hits in as many times up. Wonderful catches by Moore and Bennett saved a much larger score. Hannan hit for a home run in the third inning that gave the visitors their only fighting chance. The final score was 11 to 6. Foster pitched for the Giants. Monday they won again, this time Louis Johnson doing the mound work, and the Giants taking the game 6 to 3. Tuesday's game was the hottest of the series, ending 8 to 7 when a star catch by Moore with the sacks full and two down saved the game for St. Louis. Although the Commonwealth-Edison team, champions of the Commercial League, hit Johnson freely, the Giants won, 5 to 2. Chicago Giants 6; West Baden 0. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] [Speech to The Chicago Decider] West Baden, Ind., Sept. 5—West Baden opened a four-guest series with the Chicago Giants of Chicago at West Baden Springs Park Wednesday.

Doctor Plummer evened up an old one when a picked team under his leadership defeated the Emergencies later the latter had fought them to a handstill.

Varied Causes of Suicide. Causes of suicide vary. In the Oriental patriotic and religious reasons present themselves. In the west the reason is one of a more personal nature. There are many classes into which cases may be divided. For example, the lonely, the slack and inurable, the unemployed and financially embarrassed, victims of nervous diseases.

[Special to the Chicago Defender.] Boston, Mass., Sept. 5.—Sam Langford, the Boston heavyweight, has been matched with Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship of the world. The bout will be staged in Paris December. The bout will be played by the same Delmore and will be held in the Cincinnati Grand Prix. Final arrangements for the match were closed yesterday by cable. Johnson agreed to the terms for the contest several days ago, while Joe Woodman, acting for Langford, closed with the Parisian promoter yesterday. Johnson and Langford have already fought once. The meeting took place in Chelsea in 1906, early in Langford's career, and Johnson won the decision after rounds of fighting. At that time Johnson was a heavyweight while Langford was only a welterweight. Langford is scheduled to meet John Lester Johnson in New York Sept. 9. He will also probably box Joe Jeanette before he sails for Paris early in November in order to prepare himself for the trip. He will start hard training immediately, and he will weight 175 pounds when he enters the ring with the champion. REORGANIZED ROTHSCHILDS DEFEATED THE EMERGEN- CIES LABOR DAY. One of the most interesting baseball games of the season among amateurs in class C was played on Labor day at Washington Park between Captain Avendorph's Emergencies and Dr. Plummer's reorganized Rothschilds. Ganaway, was in the box for the first four innings for the Rothschilds and did fairly well, but was relieved by Ellis, who held the Emergencies the balance of the game. Whorton, for the Emergencies, pitched good ball but was fortunate in having a substitute catcher and passed balls had a bad effect. Holson in center field, Plummer in right field, and Winston at third played a star game for the Rothschilds. For the Emergencies Louie Thompson was the star, his stab with one hand of a line drive being the feature. Captain Avendorph did not play as good a fielding game as he usually does, but he got a three base hit and went into the crowd and made a one-hand catch of a fly. S. Thompson at second played a fine fielding game and old man Haddox was on to his job at first. The final score was 8 to 6 in favor of Dr. Plummer's team. YOUNG-AVENDORPH DEBATE. Since Mr. Frank Young, sporting editor of the Defender, made a deliberate attack of my veracity in his letter in the Defender of the 23d, I am going to ask him to publish my letter at my expense, that is, providing he has, as he says, a letter signed by me saying positively I would play his team for one to ten dollars in order that the public can be the judge as to whose veracity is questionable—Julus N. Avendorph. Simple English! "A certain quality of force and directness, owing to its simplicity, would seem to be unattainable through any other medium, and a realization of this is probably the inclement to the dialect story, so uniformly unsuccessful, because the writer is an limitator and not writing his native language."—A philologist heaping encomiums on simple English in the New York Sun. Wonder Who She Mear'. Miss Carter had not been successful in bringing young Dodge to her feet, and in consequence felt a little spiteful toward him. One evening they were having quite a serious talk in the library. "Do you think," asked the young man, "that men progress after death?" "Well," responded the girl, "if they don't it would almost seem useless for some of them to die." Early Days of Cigarmaking At one time in the early history of this country cigarmaking was an important industry in Germany and large quantities of German made cigars came to the United States. The first separate tabulation of cigar imports was in 1804, and in that year 4,000,000 were brought into the United States, nearly all of them coming from the West Indies. Hookworm Disease The hookworm disease is so named from a small parasite which fastens itself in the intestines and preys upon the system. The name hookworm relates to the peculiar structure of the parasite (which has been named Necator americanus) and the disease is attributed to low nutrition and unsanitary conditions. --- Dried Planta Shown In Millions Kew gardens, London, England, possesses one of the biggest collections of dried plants in the world—a collection which is constantly being added to by travelers and scientific institutions in all parts of the globe. To show how huge this collection really is, one bequest, that of Slr W. G. Hooker, contained no fewer than two million specimens of dried plants. Value of Proper Spelling Good spelling and intelligent punctuation are the accomplishments that keep many gray-haired women drawing good salaries as stenographers in downtown offices.

PITCHERS ARE BLAMED Better Opportunity to Kill Time Than Other Players. League Officials and Umpires Making Efforts to Solve Problem of How to Make Games Shorter—Contests Made Tiresome. The rules of baseball permit the umbre to call a ball whenever a pitcher holds the ball for more than 20 seconds. He can continue to call balls for each such offense. This rule was adopted to shorten the length of baseball games. It is a good rule, but it is one that might easily and with the approval of "fandom" everywhere be improved upon. There is no reason why the pitcher should be allowed 20 seconds in which to make his delivery. Fifteen would be ample. It is admitted that it is quite a task to pitch nine innings, when every pitch is a well defined action and frequently—such as in the case of curve balls, spit balls, and the like—puts a tremendous pull on the wrist and the shoulder. But it must also be taken into consideration that it is seldom that a pitcher is asked to work oftener than every third day at most. This is cited because of the time consumed in the playing of ball games, particularly in the American league, this year is a topic that has demanded the attention of the public more than ever before. Many a well played game has not appeared as such because the time consumed has made the play monotonous and irksome. It is a peculiar thing that almost without exception the games played in the National league have been fast-paced, the games played in the American league in the year prior this should be so is a problem, to decide So far as can be judged, the players are equal merit and the umpires are just as earnest and uniring in their efforts to hustle play, but there have been few contests in the Johnson organization that have been disposed of in less than one hour and forty-five minutes, and many that have taken two hours and more before being completed. In reference to these games only nine innings affairs are taken into consideration. The fact that the majority of the clubs in the junior major league have proved better road clubs than they have stay-at-homes may have something to do with it. By this is meant that it is true that most of the teams in the American league have done a majority of their winnings while playing on the games to go nine full innings in order of eight and a half. This, however, would scarcely account for the delay. Ban Johnson's attention was called to this tardiness early in the season, and he immediately issued an order that a new ball be thrown out every time a foul was knocked. He thought this might save minutes of time in every game, but it has not. In the games played by the Yankees at the Polo grounds it has appeared to retard the progress, if anything. BASEBALL NOTES BASEBALL NOTES Outfielder Kommers of Columbus seems to have recovered from his recent batting slump. Manager Bill Dahlen of Brooklyn has landed Pitcher Pfeffer of the Grand Rapids team. San Francisco fans are all worked up over their ball club and have the pennant won already. Otto Hess, the veteran pitcher of the Braves, says the easiest team for him to beat is St. Louis. The friends of Catcher Smith of the Yankees, who lives in the great metropolis, contemplate a Smith day. Manager George Stallings of the Braves says his team will lead the second division teams, if nothing else. There is no chance that the Reds will have the services of Rube Benton, their star twirler, again this season. Tuck Turner is playing a great game at third for Cleveland. He is batting and fielding with the best of them and helping the Naps to the top. It is said that Jake Daubert, the star first sacker of the Dodgers, can reach nine feet in the air for a thrown ball when necessary, and he goes up like an airship, too. Manager Stallings of Boston is carrying 25 men—the limit—and would like to sell one of his pitchers. But everybody wants only Perdue or Tyler, so there is "nothing doing." St. Louis rumors are to the effect that Manager Stovall is at odds with most of his players, owing to his insistence upon attention to business and his brusque way of enforcing obedience. . . . The chief fault of Dan Griner, the young Cardinal finger, is said to be his super-extensive windup, which makes it hard for the catcher to prevent base runners from getting a good lead for a steal. Youth is being served in the American league race for batting laurels, but in the National league the old-timers are crowding near the top, with such names as Cravath, Crandall, Kling, Wagner, Huggins and Titus in the front ranks. Catcher Roche of Calgary in the Western Canada league, for whom half a dozen major league clubs made bids, is another of those French-Canadians, and Bill Hurley declares him to be the best young player he has seen in ten years. --- BUSTER'S AND STICKER'S CLUB ORGANIZED. On last Monday evening there was formed at the Y. M. C. A. a Sticker and Buster Club. The members number among those who have always been ardent supporters of Y. M. C. A. They were on hand last Monday at the opening for Ladies' Day, and did much toward making things pleasant for the callers. Chiefly among the members are Messrs. R. B. Ellington, M. E. Wimes, J. F. Williams, G. R. Arthur, M. Finn, C. H. Davis, D. S. Johnson, W. A. Graham, A. M. Johnson, E. J. Walton, R. B. Towers, C. W. Pierce, J. C. Nelson, A. D. Brown and C. A. Davis. THE HYDE PARK SETTLEMENT. The Hyde Park Neighborhood Settlement offers to the Negro what no other similar institution offers in the city of Chicago. One may come to read the very best literature without charges. The public meetings held each month serve to inspire anyone who desires to look for the higher things in life. Classes in plano, sewing, and the very best instruction in fashionable dressmaking is taught by Mrs. Ida V. Jones, a very competent teacher. All these opportunities are given to the Negro to encourage him in his life struggle upward. The young Negro girl will not always be compelled to hunt for work as laundress if she will only grasp the opportunity to make an honest living by becoming a competent dressmaker. The hotel waiters are beginning to appreciate the little reading room by coming in to read instead of spending all of their leisure hours in the poolroom, as formerly. The boys who left school at an early age are returning so that they may enter the new Hyde Park high school. There are no more rowdies now in the community since the coming of this institution. Out of a large attendance of children that once lived on the streets 65 per cent are white. It is to be hoped that in the very near future Negro parents will see the good of encouraging their children to attend the settlement instead of living in the streets and alleys while the parents are at work. All who wish to enter the dressmaking class for the year should enroll their names at once. Address Miss Clotee E. Scott, president. CALL AND OPEN INVITATION. Boston, Mass., Sept. 5—An invitation to every colored citizen interested in equal political, civil and social rights, who believes the colored race should get together in defense of its welfare, to meet in national conference in Boston, Mass., September 15, 16 and 17, has been issued by President Byrne Gunner of the National Independent Political League. This will be the sixth annual meeting of the league. The local committee of arrangements has aroused the citizens of Boston to give a royal welcome, with mass meetings in Faneuil Hall, excursions, sight-seeing trips, receptions, etc. The colored churches of the country are asked to observe September 14 as equal rights Sunday with prayers and sermons for equal rights. The Boston committee hopes that our readers will go on without interruption in invitation to this meeting. Every church and lodge is asked to send delegates. The convention will be held in the big Twelfth Baptist Church. Each city of our state should club together at once to send a delegate. The call condemns the apparent segregation policy at Washington under President Wilson. It declares that ever since Lincoln's emancipation proclamation have the civil and social rights of colored Americans been so imperiled. THE PEERLESS. The Peerless Club held its regular meeting Tuesday, September 2, at the residence of Mr. Robert Ray, 3715 Dearborn street. Owing to Mr. Bazel's work he has found it necessary to resign his office as secretary. Mr. Harry Greenlee was elected secretary to succeed Mr. Bazel. Mr. Ray served the club a delicious repast after the meeting. The club will hold its next meeting at the residence of Mr. Raymond Green, 4443 Langley avenue. Albert Pearmom, president. Harry Greenlee, secretary. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB The mortgage committee will give a reception Wednesday, September 17, 1913, at the home, 3530 Forest avenue, from 3 to 8 p.m. The fourth and last quarterly payment is due and sub-tenant will tend and pay their obligations.

The next meeting of the club will be held at the residence of Mrs. Miller.-Mrs. J. Crawford, pres.; Mrs. F. C. Jackson, secy. THE SAMARITAN CLUB The Samaritan Club met Thursday evening, August 28, at the home of Mrs. Jessie Woods, 3852 Vincennes avenue. Next meeting will be held Thursday evening, September 11, at the home of Mrs. Titus, 3858 State street.—Mrs. Gazella Williams, secy. The Gaudeamus Charity Club will meet September 8 at the home of Mrs. Georgia Allen, 3841-Prairie avenue. Seldom does a more representative body of young men meet together than those who filled the spacious reception hall of the Phalanx Club Monday evening, Sept. 1. There was a splendid program rendered by members of the club. Mr. Alonza J. Bowling, who is a graduate from several of the most reputable colleges in the United States, delivered an eloquent address, selecting for his subject the life of Lincoln. The Phalanx Club promises to fill a longtweat want in the life of the government employees in Chicago. The object of this is to promote the welfare of its members and advance the interest of the service by making themselves more useful and efficient. The present officers are earnest, enthusiastic workers. Mr. G. L. Jamison, president; Mr. Ford S. Black, vice president; and Mr. A. L. Weaver, secretary, promise to make the organization a power for the good of the employees and the government service. BUSINESS LEAGUE ECHOES Aftermath of the Race's Great Commercial Congress at Philadelphia, August 20, 21 and 22—Paragraphic Points About People and Things. By B. W. Thompson. "Editor" W. Calvin Chase of the Washington Bee, was conspicuous by his absence at the meeting of the Press Association. He was "skeered" to face the drawn swords that he knew awaited him. That veteran pen-pusher and erudite thinker, T. Thomas Fortune, was the cynosure of all eyes. He made a "bell-ringing" speech at the Press convention. Everybody from everywhere was there, and all of them went to Atlantic City on the Sunday following the close of the meeting. The affiliated bodies, the Press Association, the bankers, the lawyers, the insurance men and the undertakers all had profitable sessions, and much enthusiasm was manifested by the followers of each. Next year the doctors, dentists and pharmacists will join the procession of business league auxiliaries. And then will come the manufacturers. The more the merrier. Emmett J. Scott, though far from well, was as busy as a hive of bees from start to finish. As a secretary he ranks with Daniel S. Lamont, Geo B. Cortelyou, and William Loeh, making America's Big Four in this line of helpful endeavor. The handsomest ladies in the world were in attendance and they wore garments that set them off to the best advantage. At the great reception at Horticultural hall they formed a picture taken from fairyland. It is worthy of remark that no one got into trouble with the police and no one was robbed of money or valuables. Philadelphia is "no mean city." The people of Quakerville simply outdid themselves in the cordiality of their greeting and lavishness of their hospitality. The visit to the mammoth store of John Wanamaker—the first time such a privilege was ever extended to our race—will stand out as a red letter event in the history of the Negro people. J. H. Blodgett, of Jacksonville, Fla., was a whole host in himself. His speeches at the Academy of Music, at the Wanamaker store, and at the League hall were full of irresistible humor and his story of he who rose from poverty to the ownership of a beautiful mansion and more than a hundred other houses, besides a $5,000 touring car, invariably brought down the house. His quaint way of saying the things that everybody wanted to say, but dared not, brought storms of laughter and cheers whenever Mr. Blodgett took the floor. When Mr. Blodgett he wore a Jacketville some years ago he was arrested as a trump because he wore a straw hat in the winter time. Now, look at him! If anybody now calls him by the nickname they called him then, he would have the fellow arrested and put in fall, says he. Majestic Charles Banks, growing stout with the prosperity that comes of being the executive factor in the thriving city of Mound Bayou and the moving spirit in a $100,000 cotton oil mill, acted as Dr. Washington's righthand man and presided with dignity over several of the sessions. One of the notable figures of the convention was G. W. F. Sawner, a wealthy lawyer and cotton broker of Chandler, Okla. He spoke ably and earnestly of the progress that the Negro is making in his state, and described the glories of Boley, where the colored people own everything and run everything. He was accompanied by his charming wife, Mrs. Lena L Sawner, who is principal of the high school at Chandler, with five assistant teachers. Mrs. Sawner, who is a constant attendant of the league meetings, paid down $25 and became a life member of the organization. At Muscogee next year Mrs. Sawner will be one of the "official hostesses," and right royally will she perform that important task. Bishops B. T. Tanner and L. J. Coppi honored the convention with their inspiring presence. Dr. Washington's tribute to the power and value of the press as a race builder and its potent influence in promoting the welfare of the business league was the cleanest-cut deliverance on the subject ever heard on a platform in this country. The Press Association is highly elated over this emphatic endorsement, coming from such an authoritative source. The address preceded his introduction of R. W. Thompson, who presented the annual statement of the Press Association to the league. The high-water mark in life memberships was reached at Philadelphia. 28 being recorded as against 26 last year, the highest up to that time. The silver-haired and silver-tongued publisher of the Indianapolis Freemen, George L. Knox, attracted widespread attention. The wonderful singing of Mat J. R. Moton, of Hampton Institute, was a feature that pleased everybody. A league meeting without the major would not seem like itself.
