Hatcher Makes Speech of Her Life—Great Throng Cheered to the Echo—Ladies From Every City in State on Hand—Master Masons Flock to Meetings. The thirty-seventh annual session of the Grand Court of Heroines of Jericho, convened in the Masonic Hall, Tuesday morning, at 10 a. m.—Mrs. Jennie A. Hatcher, Grand Mast Ancient Matron, presiding. Mrs. Connie Curl (owing to the death of Mrs. Katie Berry) acted as Grand Secretary, Representatives were present from Springfield, Unity, Decatur, Galesburg, Harrisburg, Belleville, Lovejoy and East St. Louis—seventeen courts, together with all the grand officers. After the usual formalities of opening, Mrs. Hatcher appointed the different committees and delivered her annual address; which was a beautiful recital of her official acts during the year, full of encouragement and of vital importance to the order. The reports of other officers were well rendered. An invitation was extended by the Knights Templar and Master Masons to the Grand Court to be present Wednesday evening at their reception, which was accepted. The Grand Court delegates were tendered a reception at the residence of Mrs. C. A. Curls, 3523 Vernon avenue, Tuesday night. The decorations were in accord with the colors of the order. All enjoyed themselves, refreshments were served, and a beautiful program was rendered. This entry is composed of the wives and daughters of Royal Arch Masons, and is the oldest society known among ladies of the Masons, founded on the book of Joshua in the Bible and the fall of Jericho in Rahnab's time. They closed the session Thursday, after electing the following officers and installation being held Thursday night. JONAH IS FORCED TO LEAVE LOOP JONAH IS FORCED TO LEAVE LOOP After securing the Garrick theater, and later receiving a message of cancellation of contract, I proceeded to look around for another place where I could hold noonday meetings. Finally, after looking over every open door, only to find them close in my face, I found the First Methodist church, on Clark and Washington streets. But two meetings found another obstacle in my path. It was the charge made by the tenants under the Methodist church building in that vicinity that the singing and speaking interfered in their business. It is peculiar that two songs should disturb them so, but it did. But while the police and my enemies were busy hounding me out of the loop, I was silently arranging a place where I cannot be disturbed for one year, in the belt of the Colored district, where a co-operative store, 3123 State street, will be opened and lectures will be given by several prominent people, teaching the system of co-operation. It will be a hard blow, but there is a worse one coming soon. Be patient, and watch The Defender next week and you will be surprised just what we are doing. Just watch. God is going to take care of his people, no matter what plans the devil hatches out. Yours, JONAH. NOTED INDIANA PHYSICIAN IN CITY. Dr. A. Bethea, M.

Makes Col. R. D. Ruffin Its President and Is Confident the Colonel Will Forward It to Success. The Haynes Coal & Briquetting Company of North Dakota held their first directors' meeting at the office of the attorney, Mr. Justus Chancellor, in the Pullman building, on Sept. 8, 1913, at 12 o'clock. Col. R. D. Ruffin, president of the company, had the pleasure of presiding over the most distinguished representatives in business, mon who represented millions of dollars. The president, Col. Ruffin, named large holdings in coal, oil and timber lands worth millions of dollars of his own. The president of one of the wealthiest companies in this city or the West sent a message to Mr. PETER J. President, Col. R. D. Ruffin. Chancellor, the attorney, that his company was in full sympathy with the organization of which Col. Ruffin is president, and that his company would stand back of it, which means many millions of dollars back of this company. This is the first financial organization of the kind in this country where a colored man, through his energy and growth in wealth, was able to hold his own among such a class of men as surrounded him, all of whom seemed to be proud of their president. There was $28,000 pledged for this company's improvements to start with. The question was asked as to whether this company would be consolidated with the North Dakota Coal Company. The president stated that it would not be. While the North Dakota Coal Company is a large one, he wished to have some of the officers of this company connected with that one. The secretary of this company is also secretary of the North Dakota Coal & Briguetting Company. MR. AVENDORPH AND DR. WILLIAMS CAUGHT. About 6:20 Monday night, while one of our reporters was strolling in front of the Union station, he spied a large touring car with two passengers drive up and hurriedly unload. Much to his surprise it was the noted surgeon, Dr. Daniel H. Williams and Mr. Julius Avendorph, the Beau Brumel of Chicago, in the act of slipping away on a fishing trip for a couple of weeks. After they were comfortably seated in their compartment on the famous Minnesota Limited of the Burlington, we interviewed Mr. Avendorph, who said they would spend two weeks fishing at Camp Du-McGee, which is about 67 miles from St. Paul, in the woods of Minnesota.

By R. W. Tyler. Washington, Sept. 12.—At a caucus of Democratic congressmen, Friday night, to decide on the patronage policy, it was voted to dismiss all the Negro employees at the Capitol, and give their places to white men. This is to include the barbers and waiters, who are employed at the Capitol building and in the Senate and House Office building, as well as the messengers and laborers. From time immemorial the Negro barber and waiter have had undisputed monopoly of the barbering in the Senate and House barber shops, and of the waiting in the Senate and House cafes. These are, however, now to be dismissed and white men put in their positions. During the caucus, one Southern Democratic congressman referring to places held by Negroes which, in his opinion, should be filled by whites proclaimed that "the niggers are all Republicans, and I never in my life saw a nigger Democrat."

Once more we are sorry to call the attention of the parents of the young people who are attending school. It seems a pity that in this great day and time we have to call this matter to the attention of the mothers. The actions of the girls are beyond all reason and those poor, ignorant mothers who have all the confidence in the world in their innocent daughters would turn on them with rage if they would only spy on them once in a while on their way home from school. We speak of Wendell Phillips High in particular. Swearing isn't anything, but the vilest of smutty phrases are used, ones that they hear in the cheapest of the motion picture houses, Along Forest avenue at lunch hour it seems as though it is a regular meeting place for those unemployed young ruffians (that are too lazy to try to find work who, the main portion of the day, frequent the cheap pool and billiard hall), and the young women that are attending this school. All such loving names as papa and daddy dear are used. We are going to break it up, for it is a disgrace to the decent children who are forced to go there and are looked upon as no better than the indecent ones by the white pupils and teachers. Not only around school but as far west as State we find them in the doorways of apartment buildings. Mothers, do you think that this is the proper place for your daughter to meet her boy friends? If they are not good enough for the home they are not good enough for them to be with. At Sunday School we are more than sorry to state that many of the young men feel that they are too good to attend, but meet the young girls as they are let out, and there on the corners of 35th and State, which is bordered by four saloons, we see every Sunday girls, some of the best looking and the best dressed girls of this city, in groups chatting with these young men. Is it right? Answer for yourself. Do you think that the thousands and thousands of white men and women who throng to the White Sox ball grounds pass these young people up without noticing them? Do you for a moment think that these girls can and will be respected by their other man, when our own will hold them so to our side corner?

In consequence of the Democratic caucus decision to make a clean sweep of Negroes employed by Congress there is consternation among the several hundred of them employed, many of whom have grown gray in the service. That it will work a hardship on many is known, but the Southern Democrat is in the saddle here, and he is rapidly recovering all he fought to preserve, and all the Northerners fought in the Civil War to take from him. It is but a question of a short time, it is believed, when this same Democratic anti-race policy will extend to the Negro Civil Service employees. Already one young colored woman has been dismissed from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving for refusing to accept and abide by the segregation rules, and three Negro male clerks in the Secretary Department were threatened with dismissal if they again used other than the Jim-crow toilet rooms.

We have known girls of tender age to have frequented the family entrance of saloons, and, more than that, we find that the unsuspecting mother allows her daughter to go to Mrs. So and So's house without the knowledge of the party's reputation. Every one in this town that uses the prefix of Mrs. is not married, and many that are using it are doing so because a landlord will not rent to ones that are not married and they use this as a get by. Many of these demons are running what are known as buffet-flatts and it is here that the unwary mother allows her daughter to learn the ways of vice, and it is here that she learns to drink, from that to a misleading act, and the rest is known. Once on the downward path the way is smooth until the bottom. Then the disgraced family, sometimes the forced marriage, now and then a child before the marriage or one a month or two afterwards. These things we call and urge upon you to think of before it is too late. The family's name, the daughter's virtue is at stake. It is up to you.

Reese was held up the other afternoon by a special police man. He had driven over to the First National Bank on some business and was about to enter his car when a pale face in citizen clothes walked up to him and said: "Is this your car?" He informed him that it was not. "Well, you're driving it, ain't you?" He said he was. "Where's your license?" The tenor said, "What kind of license do you mean? I have several licenses at home. I have a marriage license, a dog license and several other kinds. Tell me what you have reference to." "I mean your chauffeur's license." "Oh. Look on my cap and you will see it." "I don't mean that one. I am a police officer," he said, pulling off his cont and showing an Illinois license, "and you show me one like that or I'll run you in." "Well, I haven't one." "You'd better come with me over to the Harrison street station." By this time, Mr. Reese became provoked and said, "Now, look here, what do you suppose that they want me over there for?" Do you suppose that I have got to have a license for every town I drive in? Can't you open your eyes and see that this is a New York car?" "Well, I swan, I never thought to look at that machine license." And Mr. Reese drove away. We may all speak of William Lloyd Garrison, the cradle of liberty Wendell Phillips, the seat of justice, Charles Sumner, the pure essence of culture, but it is reserved for this judge who perceived that decision of justice to this colored girl to blend all these men in one. Like that masterpiece of the Grecian artist, he exhibits them into one gloom of the associated beauty, for like is the pride of every motto, and perfection of every master, for the tide that bears nations on its current never stands still, and when the smoke of battle was cleared away victory rose in the colored race by this judge extending justice to each and all, even though the heavens fall. Judge, allow me to say to you in behalf of the Negro race of this country, it matters not what office you run for, or what ticket you run on, I am satisfied that you will get all broad-minded men's and women's vote in this country. The speech made by you in this case, was equal to Portia's "Mercy Speech" in the Merchant of Venice, and should receive the commendation of every fair-minded citizen, whether white or colored.—W. W. Talley. DISGRACE TO THE RACE AND THE CITY. What we consider a disgrace to the race in this city is the way that the unemployed, the dope flends, the drunkards, the thieves, the gamblers, the pickpockets, the prostitute women and their lovers line 18th street. Unmolested by the police they lounge along the sidewalk to the disgust of all the decent people of this town. They need to be cleaned out and it is certainly up to the police department to do so. It is a living hell hole, a breeding spot of evil, a breeding spot for contagious disease and filth. This seems to be the landing place for the coloured trumpet and hobo who makes this city his home in the summer and breaks for a warmer clime in the winter. He is a mischief-maker, for it is at his door that many crimes are laid and it is this class of laziness and filth, indolent scamps that has caused the race to suffer many setbacks in Chicago. On 47th street, between Dearborn and Armour avenues, the situation is much the same, and every respected citizen should write to the mayor to have these holes cleaned out. Javanston, Ill., Sept. 12—A. H. Edmonds has the distinction of organizing the first company of Negro Scouts in the world. He was commissioned May 6, 1911.

Buried in Christian Scientist Falth. Miss L. Hortense Berry, beloved sister of Mrs. Henrietta Saparo of S12 East Forty-first street, departed this life Sunday, September 7, at 4:30 p.m. Miss Berry was born in Montgomery, Ala., December 26, 1890; was left an orphan at the age of 3 years. Her sister, Mrs. Saparo, who has been a mother to her, reared and educated her in the Smith's Seminary of Montgomery. She came, with her sister, to Chicago July 4, 1907, and from the day of her arrival she began by her sweet disposition to win a host of friends, which was shown by the large number of sympathizers of both races. One of the wealthy Caucasian neighbors expressed the sentiment of all when she said, "The flower of our neighborhood is gone." Miss Hortense Berry was to have been one of Chicago's June brides, as she was engaged to Mr. Alex Webb, who has been so devoted to her during her long illness. Mime, Hosac, with whom Miss Berry was employed as buyer for the past four years, repeatedly asked that every wish of "Little Hortense" be gratified. Having been a constant attendant of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Forty-first street and Drexel boulevard, the Christian Science burial service was read at the late residence Wednesday, September 10, at 1 p. m. Interment was at Oakwood Cemetery. Miss Berry leaves to mourn her loss a sister, Mrs. Honrietta Saparo; three brothers, Mr. Larry Berry, Mr. James Berry and Mr. S. Berry, and a nephew. Mr. Hooper Berry. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. The honorary pallbearers were Miss Helen Earle, Miss Mabel Lee, Miss Wanetta McNealy, Miss Evelyn Anderson and Mrs. Hullett Barnett. The active pallbearers were Mr. A. Mason, Mr. Thomas Davis, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Edward White. MRS. SHREEVES WINS VICTORY Great Plea Brings Delegates to Their Feet and Results in the John R. Tanner Auxiliary Being Transferred to the Department of Illinois. MRS. SHREEVES THE HERO Mrs. Joseph S. Shreeves, 724J Wentworth avenue, proved to be one of the brightest women at the Tenth National Convention of the U. S. War Veterans. Mrs. Shreeves was a delegate from the John R. Tanner auxiliary, and returned from Buffalo with flying colors, for she went to ask the convention to place them in the department of Illinois, where they belong, instead of the department of the Potomac, where they were, and this department is made up of the Southern veterans and is located in Norfolk, Va., and the way things were the auxiliary was separated from the camp, which is in the department of Illinois. When Mrs. Shreeves spoke she showed them where they were wrong in separating husbands, sons, and brothers, and "inasmuch as you have done that, in the name of the John R. Tanner camp, in the name of the auxiliary, in the name of the Holy Father, I ask you who have the power to unite us." When she finished every one was standing cheering, waving the Stars and Stripes, many having tears in their eyes, and they voted unanimously to place them in the department of Illinois. The ex-post commander, Mr. Sieble, National Judge Advocate of the convention, wrote the resolutions and sent them to the National Auxiliary requesting them to be put in the department of Illinois. Mrs. Nannie Robinson of Pennsylvania was elected admin. tratrix of the National Council, the first woman of her race to hold an office.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ervice BUSY WEEK WITH THETRUE REFORMERS OF CHICAGO Mr. Floyd Ross, grand worthy master of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers, arrived in the city of Chicago in company with Mrs. Lou Ella Young, state deputy, from Indianapolis, Ind., Friday afternoon, Sept. 5, and was met at the train by M. T. Bailey, state deputy of Illinois, who directed him to 3556 Forest avenue, where he remained until Friday, Sept. 12. On Friday evening, Sept. 5, he organized a fountain at 3638 State street, with a large number of new members, and held a union meeting with the True Reformers, at which time he explained the present status of the Grand Fountain and the progress the organization has made in the last twenty-two months. The True Reformers were very much encouraged and pledged themselves to do their full duty in helping to bring the organization to the front. He explained that the organization had collected more than $275,000 from the members who had remained loyal for the last twenty-two months, paid Hon. Floyd Ross, G. W. M. more than $140,000 in death claims and kept up other expenses, has added more than 29,000 new members to the organization, organized 315 new subordinate fountains, reinstated 100 old fountains and restored the confidence throughout the United States. At the same rate, he predicted that in less than twenty-two more months the Grand Fountain would have met all of its obligations to all parties concerned. He stated that at the present time the organization was in a better condition than it had been for ten years before. Following this, a large and enthusiastic meeting was held at the First Baptist church in Lake Forest on Sunday afternoon, where telling speeches were made in the interest of the order by Grand Master Floyd Ross, Rev. Mrs. Anna Brown, Rev. W. D. Venerable, Rev. H. E. Johnson, Rev. Ricks, and Mrs. Lou Ella Young, state deputy, as well as M. T. Bailley. Many persons agreed to reinstate their membership and help build up the organization. This meeting was followed by a public meeting at the Mt. Zion Baptist church on Monday evening, and by a public meeting at the Betheden Baptist church in Morgan Park on Tuesday evening, Sept. 9. At all of these meetings, resolutions were introduced by the people present, endorsing the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R. and its present administration, and urging everyone who has any ambition and desire for the success of the race, to fall in line with the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R. and help carry it on to success. Mr. Ross, in company with Chief M. T. Bailey and State Deputy Mrs. Lou Ella Young, made a flying trip to Milwaukee, Wis., on Wednesday, where they spent the day and mapped out future plans for the organization in that state. He left Chicago on Friday, Sept. 12, for Richmond, Va., by way of Pittsburgh and Washington, highly pleased with the success of the organization in Chicago division. He spoke encouragingly of the future success of the Grand Fountain, and paid a tribute to the present representatives in the state of Illinois. In all of these meetings, Mr. Ross praised The Chicago Defender for its splendid columns and stated that he had traveled all over the United States and that it was the only paper of the race that delivered its paper in an automobile, like the daily white papers, and that everyone of the race should encourage its editorial staff and help to Keep The Chicago Defender where it has been successfully carried by hard work. CHICAGO DENTAL CLUB BANQUET Drs. Chapman, Bassett and Lawyer Chas. S. Cuney. Saturday night all night until the small hours of the holy Sabbath morning when all nature was on impatient tip toe in glad expectancy of old Sol's golden promise of the day the Carter Villa at 1512 Rhodes avenue, the hostelry made famous by gorgeous festivities, in fact the most sumptuous among the finest places in the country, was the scene of possibly the most extravagant and decently hilarious affair ever attempted to make jubilant the souls of men. Drs. Bassett of Alexander, La., F. C. Chapman of Kansas City, Mo., and Hon. Chas. S. Cuney of Washington, D. C., were the honored guests of the happy occasion. The hostess, Mrs. Carter, was in every way equal to the occasion. The table setting presented a glorious scene difficult to describe, and the elegant, spacious dining room presented such a picture as you might see in some great cut glass emporium. Every one at the table was gauged to a tension described by Dr. Holmes in "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table." This tension of course was modified upon this occasion by the flavors of the choice, delectable preparation wafted into the dining room from the kitchen, like the coming of events that cast their shadows shortly before. These dentists were indeed a happy set. Wit that would have put Artemus Ward and Josh Billings out of the game flowed from the souls of these professionals who can extract teeth without pain, etc. etc. You'd have known them to be dentists by the merriment that sparkled in their eyes. In fact you can get anything of the sparkling variety at the Carter Villa, with the privilege of hearing the cork pop and all the sizzling if you go down in the jeans deep enough. They went. There were no "soft eyes to love love" into other eyes, for this was indeed a banquet of the stag variety. Dr. Thoo. R. Mozze acted as toastmaster, and like a prince of good fellows drew from his phosphorescent mentality much of the goods to dispense in oratory, as a sublime line or two from some prehistoric writer percolated his clear vision made all the more clear by the clear things in the menu. All wont merry, although there was no music to arise in a voluptuous spell. Dr. A. C. D. Barnes, the president, sat at the extreme end of the table, while between on either side sat lawyers, doctors, editors, grocers and a brilliant array of other distinguished dentists, local and visiting. The visiting gentlemen, honored thus by this occasion, spoke in terms of praise of Chicago, its chivalry, and last but by far more important, its beautiful women. Hon. Chas. S. Cuney, a young legal luminary of Washington, D. C., emphasized the fact that upon the pulchritude of the fair sex alone he might become one of those visitors who might "stick around." FRANK BYRON VALUABLE ASSET TO APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE. Washington, D. C., Sept. 12. At a meeting of the Naval Affairs Committee E. S. Theail was re-elected clerk; W. L. Padgett, assistant clerk, and Frank A. Byron, messenger. Mr. Theail is the only committee clerk of the House aside from James C. Courts, of the Appropriation Committee, who retained his place after the change in the political complexion of the House. Mr. Theail has held his position for eight years and is recognized by the members of the House as an expert on naval affairs. He is a graduate of Annapolis and a member of a very prosperous law firm in Washington. Mr. Byron has been with the Naval Affairs Committee for twelve years, during which time he has had charge of all committee documents. No employee around the House has such a detailed knowledge of hearings and other documents on naval topics as Mr. Byron. It will be remembered that Mr. Byron is the Senior Brother of the Byron Bros. Musical house and is well known in Chicago society, that city being his home. MRS. W. J. MOLETTE ENTERTAINS Mrs. W. J. Mollette gave a whistle party Sept. 3 at her residence, 3345 Vernon avenue, in honor of Miss Annie Lott, of Chattanooga, Teen. The affair was quite a success and all of those present enjoyed themselves very much, indeed. The ladies were elaborately gowned. Those present were: Mrs. Charles Johnson, Mrs. M. Gordon, Mrs. Tom Allen, Mrs. E. Fitzgerald, Mrs. A. R. Goldstein, Mrs. J. O. Hawkins, Mrs. J. W. Warfield, Mrs. Samuel Hudson, Mrs. A. Dorrill, Mrs. A. Basen, Mrs. George Curry, Mrs. M.

Jenkins and Mrs. Brown of Pittsburgh. The first prize was won by Mrs. A. Dorrill, second prize by Mrs. C. Johnson, and the third prize by Mrs. Chester Tanner After the whist party, Mr. and Mrs. Molette gave an automobile party, their guests being Miss Annie Lott and Mr. and Mrs. John W. Hall.

CHURCH, 1948 West, Railroad Avenue. Rev. W. Y. Bell, Pastor. Sunday was an interesting day at our church. It was rally day and was well up to the occasion. Two hundred dollars of the required amount was raised, and with the rally continued next Sunday all that was expected will very likely be raised. Many of the subscriptions are yet to be collected, and the contributions that are expected from other charges throughout the South are yet to come in. One of the features of the day was the order of the table collections. The usual noise and board of trade style that usually more or less characterize church rallies were replaced by a quiet, orderly, business-like manner. Not more than ten minutes was spent in taking the collection at each service. Rev. W. Y. Bell, the young but hardworking pastor, deserves the lion's share of the pastor for the general success of the rally. He worked night and day, going from door to door, putting his work before the people. The ministry is blessed with young men of this type. Much credit is due the members of St. Paul C. M. E. Church for their efforts; also some of the loyal members of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, the most prominent being Prof. W. W. Fisher, who infused life into the meeting by his usual timely remarks filled with logic and fire. There were three services during the day, at all of which preaching was had. At the morning service the pastor filled the pulpit and preached an interesting sermon from the subject "What think ye of Christ?" In the afternoon Rev. T. L. Scott, the "phenomenal" pastor of St. Paul C. M. E. Church, preached to a large audience, using for his text Prov. 4:8: "The faith of the just is as a shining light." Rev. W. H. Parker was the speaker at the night service. Despite the long drawn-out services that had characterized the day he held his audience well in hand, talking from Acts 9:6: "Lord, what will Thou have me do?" In the rally the following ones gave $10: Mr. C. M. Moody, Mr. and Mrs. William Y. Bell, Mr. J. D. Smith. Those giving $5 were: P. A. Bryson, Mrs. L. Ethridge, J. W. Bell, Mrs. Tony Parrish, Rev. R. B. Hawkins. Miss Hannah Wood, Mrs. Leah Thomas, Bishop I. Lane, Mrs. L. Matthews, Rev. J. G. Williams. The following gave $3: Mrs. B. Boyd. The following gave $2: Mrs. Carrie Williamson, Mrs. Katie Sharp, Master Leslie B. Grant, Rev. T. L. Scott. Rev. J. N. Goddard, G. W. Trice. The following gave $1: Miss Bessie Covington, Mrs. Isola Lumpkin, Mr. P. H. Howland, Mrs. Eva Carter, Mrs. N. C. Walls, Mrs. I. Overton, Rev. W. H. Parker, Mrs. Sallie Wilson, Mrs. H. R. Shater, Mrs. I. Tidwell, Mr. J. H. Webb, Mrs. M. L. Bryson, Mr. Marshall Jefferson, Mr. Samuel Cannon, Mrs. L. B. Smith, Mr. J. Overstreet, Mr. J. Moore, Mrs. H. Benson, Mr. A. T. Stewart, Mr. J. R.

Sunday was covenant meeting and holy communion services. A large number was present. Mrs. A. J. Hall, assistant superintendent, had charge of the Sunday school, on account of the illness of Brother Johnson. Rev. Harris is preparing to leave for the National Baptist convention in Nashville, Tenn. QUINN CHAPEL A large congregation was present on last Sunday morning and listened to a strong sermon by the pastor from the text "Allehulah, the Lord God Omnipotent Reignigh." Sunday is the last Sabbath in the conference year, and the harvest home service will take place at 11 o'clock. The altar is to be decorated with flowers and fruits and a special sermon is to be preached. Prof. Morris has arranged a program of excellent music.

Rev. A. J Carey, D. D., Ph. D., Minister and Warden. The revival services at the Institutional Church are bringing great success. Many precious souls have been won for Christ. Dr. R. A. Adams, the evangelist, is not only conducting the revival services, but has been made pastor in charge by the great-spirited, large-hearted, magnanimous pastor, Rev. Carey. He believed that the success of the evangelist would largely depend upon the freedom accorded him. Rev. Carey left the city Tuesday evening for Put-in-Bay, where he was called to fill the important mission of representing ten million Negroes at the Perry centennial celebration. Dr. Carey felt the weight of the responsibility keenly and in a most effective manner requested his congregation and the people who really pray to pray for him. GRACE CHURCH.

M. E. CHURCH NOTES. The Englewood Dramatic Club Scored at Hit at St. John. By Frank C. Lowry. The Englewood Dramatic Club, under the management of Mr. George Williams, Mr. A. R. Mottley and Mr. Frank C. Lowry, has since the date of its organization produced many grand entertainments and dramas. But last Tuesday evening's affair eclipsed everything. This was the evening eagerly looked forward to with happy anticipation by the many friends of this club, and gladly did they crowd the house to see them make their initial appearance in "In the Eyes of the World," a unique English one-act drama. The scenery, light effect and artistic touches all beautifully arranged, giving embellishment and rare beauty to the stage, were designed by Mr. George Williams and Mr. Frank C. Lowry, and many were the pleasing comments passed upon this work. The soloists of the evening, Mrs. Washington and Mr. George Williams, did credit to themselves in the rendering of their beautiful numbers. The trio composed of Messrs. A. Hoffman Sims, Andrew Radford and George Williams also sang very sweet, winning great applause from their appreciative hearers. Mr. Frank C. Lowry, one of the company's readers, was forced to stop at intervals to allow his hearers to recover from the laughter which his "Hard-shell Baptist Sermon" provoked. Then came the climax, the drama, at the end of which the characters and remaining members of the club who did much to enhance the splendor of the program found themselves the recipients of many congratulations from the lips of their highly pleased and delighted hearers. The characters were as follows: Richard Carlton, Mr. George Williams; Horatio Parr, Mr. Andrew Radford; Lady Mabel Wendover, Miss Grace Pace; Lord Wilfred Pontefract, Mr. Frank C. Lowry; Wilks, Mr. Thomas Williams. Mrs. May Baller, pianist; Miss Helen Hunter, organist. HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES. By W. D. Jefferson. The pastor, Dr. C.

Well, it seems as if Doc. kept his machine at a garage near 31st and State streets and hired three men to keep an eye on the garage, besides furnishing everybody in the neighborhood with the number of the machine and an accurate description of the machine it made and the odor it emitted when in motion. It was a familiar sight, Doc. and Bill Clark in the famous chug wagon, and the sound and odor was one that was familiar to all in Doc.'s neighborhood. But all was destined to be changed. One night as Doc. was cogitating on the high cost of gasoline, one of his scouts reported that No. 41122 was not in the garage. Zing! All was instantly excitement! Doc. dashed to the telephone and notified every police station in Cook County to look out for a new auto band, who had stolen his car. Four hours of great suspense had elapsed before the heart of Doc. was gladdened by a telephone message from the police department that the machine had been recovered and the joy rider arrested. Next morning in Municipal Court the culprit meekly stood before the bar of justice. When the situation was explained the judge said: A court officer secured a shawl strap and brought the machine in. Whereupon the judge looked over it with a critical eye, and with a sigh of pity he glanced at the prisoner, and, addressing the prosecuting witness, he said: "Is this the machine you claim was stolen?" "Yes," replied Doc. "And you claim that the prisoner rode around in it for four hours?" "Yes, judge," said Doc. "Well, if that's the case, I'll have to dismiss him. He certainly has been punished enough." And that is the real reason that Doc, peddled the little buzz wagon, and now it may either be using its influence to stifle the odor of the stock yards or is gracing a modern scrap heap with its classic presence.

FEMININE SHREWDNESS WEDNESDAY If a woman wants to use a bad word she will do so and then put her hand over her mouth to save her reputation. -W. Bastow IN MEMORIAM. THE CHICAGO DEPENDER MANY THEORIES AS TO DIET Wide Variety of Choice Afforded by Opinions of Men Prominent in Affairs. Nowadays eating has become a veritable science, and there are those who assert that a man can alter his very character if he will only indulge in the right kind of diet. The other day the private secretary of the manaraj of Jhalaiwar gave a lecture on food in London, in the course of which he stated that the eating of onions is conductive to "darkness of spirit." He also averred that the caste system in India is largely regulated by diet. Thus, those of the highest caste only eat vegetarian meals in order to keep their souls pure. Members of another caste are allowed to eat meat so that they may become fitted to be warriors, while the lowest caste of all eat "stale, flat foods," which suit their unspiritual natures. Two noted German professors gave it as their opinion not long ago that if people would eat plenty of chalk they would have not only more energy and happiness, but considerably increased brain power, says an exchange. A doctor in Philadelphia recently stated that no one who eats a pound of macaroni daily will ever become a drunkard, but he also stipulated that the would-be teetotalers should live entirely on a vegetarian diet and never touch meat in any circumstances. In direct contradiction of the "vegetarianism for soulfulness" theory is that of a New York woman. She believes that there is nothing like fine chops and glasses of beer to inspire poets and writers, and she opened a restaurant for the express purpose of providing those who would woo the muse with the proper kind of diet. She has no patience with people who would become "soulful" on prunes and lentils, and her "inn for Bohemians," as her establishment is called, has certainly been well patronized by budding Tennysons and future Merediths. The belief is gaining ground in many quarters that if you wish to stave off old age and to have the feeling of perennial youth and joy, no matter what your actual years may be, you cannot better than eat plenty of sugar. One of the ploneers of this theory is Professor Metchninoff, who has made exhaustive experiments to prove his statements. There are some who even assert that not only does the frequent eating of sugar keep one from growing old, but that if a man or woman will begin the sugar treatment, even after senility has set in, the effect will be so great as to amount to a complete change in his or her character. Was Taking No Chances Senator Ashurst of Arizona the other day discussed a fellow senator who had been sitting on the political fence with great skill for months. Every one suspects his true position, but no one can prove it. It reminded Ashurst of the incident that followed the killing of Jesse James, the outlaw. "A stranger entered the morgue," said Ashurst, and, raising his hat politely, addressed the morgue keeper: "Sir,' said he, 'would you do me a great favor? Will you permit me to see all that is mortal of the honorable Jesse James?" "Sure,' said the morgue keeper. He walked to the marble slab and pulled down the sheet which covered the dead robber. The stranger gazed earnestly. Then, replacing his hat, he started to leave. "One moment,' said the morgue keeper. Why did you call the dead man "the honorable Jesse James"? "Because," said the stranger. "I wasn't quite certain he was dead." Don't Advertise Child's Faults Don't tell anyone your children's faults, even to their relatives. If you need advice get it privately. Mortifying children creates bitterness in their untrained hearts and estranges them from you. Don't tell your own age or ask for figures concerning others. Don't tell your neighbor that you disapprove of his or her ideas. By so doing you will find how soon you will be forgotten by them. Do not tell that your children cannot be induced to read, for this is largely your own fault. Educate their tastes in reading by your own interest in books. You will find that, as children grow older, their tastes in literature will change for the better. If one child likes a certain kind of reading do not compel another to listen to it, but give all an equal chance. His Sea of Troubles Some years ago in London Sir Henry Irving was playing "Hamlet" to the usual appreciative audience. A guardsman, who had returned after a number of years of service in India, had drifted into the theater and occupied a good seat. After the first scene, in which the Prince of Denmark is prominent, the soldier turned with an undecided air to the man who sat next to him. "Does that young fellow in black come on very often?" "Oh, yes; pretty much of the time for the rest of the evening." "Oh, rot!" said the guardsman, and reached under the seat for his hat.—Lippincott's Magazine. We All Are. At the dental congress at Asbury Park, Dr. J. P. Carmichael of Milwaukee, apropos of a disappointment in dental legislation, said philosophically: "Well, let us not despair. Let us remember the old maid. "An old maid, you know, went into a decline. "What's the matter with you?' her doctor asked. "Oh, doctor,' she sobbed, I've been disappointed in love!" "Naturally!' said the doctor. It never does come up to expectations." All Find it. "The police ought to have... difficulty in trading stolen autorp. t." "Why so?" "Because it is so easy to catch their scent." Authenticated Facts as to Palmistry May Hardly Be Dismissed as "Nonsense." You, being a typical, hard-headed specimen of humanity, have often expressed yourself as taking not the slightest stock in palimetry and "all that kind of rot" and have openly jeered at feeble-minded fellow men who admit that they "can't help but believe there is something in it." Uttor nonsense! Of course it's nonsense—and yet how do you explain some of the striking, and verified, instances on record of the fulfillment of the future as foretold by the hands? Take the following authentic case as an example: About four years ago two women of refinement, more from a spirit of diversion than from any other reason, determined to consult a well-known palmist in London. The first woman was thunderstruck by the accurate reading given of her past. She was promised a happy future also, and the palmist foretold many events which have since come true. The past of the second woman was read also, but the palimist refrained from saying anything about her future. When asked why she did not prophesy in regard to this she replied: "I can see no future in your hand." Barely ten minutes afterward the woman whose hand portrayed no future was run over and killed by a motor omnibus when crossing the Strand! Quite recently a skiptic in regard to palmistry was induced to consult a famous palmist. He did so in a spirit of derision, but his attitude was soon changed to one of awed surprise. The palmist detailed events in his life which were known to himself alone. He had spent ten years of his youth in America. There he had married unhappily and divorced his wife. When he returned to England he determined to look upon that part of his life as a closed book, and so his friends over here, without exception, were ignorant of the fact that he had ever married. The palmist not only read about his marriage in his hand, but gave the exact year in which it took place, the events which led up to it and those which led to its dissolution. After this striking demonstration of the art of palmistry the skeptic was constrained to admit that "there was a great deal in it, after all." Inexhaustible Rome Skiffington S. Norton of a large shipping firm visit at a dinner, apropos of a recent visit to Rome: "Rome is wonderful. Rome is inexhaustible. There is a story that describes Rome well. "The pope was giving audience. He said to a lady in black: "How long have you been in Rome? "Three weeks,' the lady answered. "Ah,' said the pope, 'then you have seen Rome." "And he turned to an American merchant and asked: "And you, sir, how long have you been in Rome? "Three months,' the American replied. "You, then, have begun to see Rome,' said the pope. And he next accosted an elegant woman with gray hair. "How long, madam,' he asked, 'have you been here?' "Three years,' the woman answered. "The pope smiled faintly. "You, he said, 'have not yet begun to see Rome.'" Regret of Age. If we could but recover the naivete of children (that first-hand way of seeing persons as if they had sprung up out of the ground and were standing like fresh flowers to be looked upon with wonder), and if we could have again these simple words with which children tell their thoughts, the concrete words, making a picture, revealing motion and emotion—no words like "function," "social consciousness," none of the phrases with which we hide our vagueness. "The man jumped up," "I told you so." "My dolly's dress is torn," "Jonnie had a nosebleed and she cried and cried!" His fate would be happy, the writer's, who could keep that vivid simplicity, the noun that described a person or a thing, and not a state of mind, and then could use it on the larger world, more richly peopled, of his older days.—Collier's Weekly. Paradise of Childhood Blessed be childhood for the good that it brings, and for the good that it brings about carelessly and unconciously by simply making us love it and letting itself be loved. What little of paradise we still see on earth is due to its presence among us. Without fatherhood, without motherhood, I think that love itself would not be enough to prevent men from devouring each other—men, that is to say, such as human passions have made them. The angels have no need of birth and death as the foundations of their life, because their life is heavenly.—Amiel. Skilful Italian Artists. The Italianes are adepts at minute work, for there are artists in Florence who will take particles of glass and stone no larger than a mustard seed and piece them together on the head of a shirt-stud with such nice adjustment of delicate shades of color that minute flowers and insects are represented in perfect detail, with all the truthfulness of nature. An Italian lady, too, has painted a landscape in which appear a windmill, millers, a cart and horse, and passengers, with such diminutive neatness that half a grain of corn can cover the whole composition New Cage for Life:Saving. George S. Rice, chief mining engineer of the United States bureau of mines, has dedicated to public use a patent just issued by the government for a hoisting cage which is primarily for us in rescue work, but which can also be used for other purposes.

MISS MALINDA JOHNSON GETS RELIGION. Monday night at 10:45, while the 36th block was all serene, and Al Hackley was scrubbing up some of his old razors he used in 1886, Miss Malinda Johnson, a cadet of the Tie Tongues, got religion. With the first scream, Al Hackley dropped all his two-edged swords, turned out the lights and flew out the back alley, running north to 35th street and coming over to State, sauntered back to his barber shop, as nothing happened. While Al. was playing his part a reporter for the Defender was racing with a Stanton avenue policeman for the scene; our reported led and found the cause; it was a 3½-foot woman just chock full of religion. She said, "I see a star, I see a star," and after a careful survey of the situation our reporter saw the same star; and it is on Ben Harris' saloon in big gold letters, "The Golden Star," and the emblem at the end; the police are looking for the star yet, our reporter did not tell him, but we must say that Mr. Harris must remove that star and put up a golden moon for such shrieks as were given by Miss Malina on Monday night, under the guise of religion, where only 10 feet away a lady who had just had a major operation and another laying at death's door across the street, is not the things to have in our cities. We hope the young woman will remember that the holy writ says there is a time and a place for all things, and the order holds good yet. Word of Popular Origin Gob is an old English word, meaning a lump or chunk of something, and was sometimes applied to money in a slang sense; a gob of money, as we now sometimes hear a wad of money. Gob is of uncertain origin, but the word gobble, as to gobble one's food, or to eat by chunks, evidently has the same root. Shakespeare speaks of cutting something into gobbets, meaning small pieces. His Official Introduction. An English treasury official was once sent over to Dublin to inquire into the courts. He was received politely by the late Lord Morris, the famous Irish law lord and wit, who said he would put him in communication with the proper person, and rang the bell. When the elderly female who acted as court-keeper appeared, he remarked, as he left the room: "Mary, this is the young man that's come about the goals." Su₄.....Sn₄ "Your lips are like roses," he said as he tried to kiss her. "You'd better go out into the garden," she answered. "We have a whole, defenseless bush out there."

It takes the position that race prejudice fos- tered by the proprietors of certain ho: tels, theaters, etc.. is done to please a certain comparatively smal class for business reasons ouly. While there are signs of increase in discrimination in the North, these do not Indicate a tendency. "Race prejudice cannot gain a headway against the stream of Intelligence or overcome the fusion of our common life. We aro a taco prone to look on the dark side of tho question, but there is every evidence of a brighter tomorrow for the race. It is sometimes better to be born lucky than rich. ‘There Is a little 10- yearold girl in Muskogee, Okla., who hhas an income of $112,000 a year. She fs the decendant of a Creek freedman and her share of the estate was 160 acres of land. Lately upon it has been drilled the inrgest and biggest producing oil Well in that section. By the time this fortunate miss becomes of age she will be more than a mil- Vouaire, and the richest woman of our race—or man either, for that matter. IL is sincerely to be hoped that noth- ing interferes with this golden outlook, for she will be in a position to be of immeasurable service to the poor un- fortunate members of her race. Money has power to level many things, and in this country especially it is king. REAL ESTATE DEALERS. “I's a shame the way real estate oacrs make colored people pay niore than white people for flats.” Familiar saying, isn't {t? And yet how many have gone into tho- subject deep enough to honestly criticize. ‘There is no denying the fact that this condition exists but it ts not wholly the fault of the real estate dealer. ‘The people themselves are largely to blame. A fat Grat had always rented to white ten- ants for $18 was vacant. Jt was whis- Fnered around that they would reat it to colored, s0 an applicant. dropped into the office and asked the price. ‘The dealer replied: “What Is {¢ worth swer. Here was $3 advance, and be- fore nisht, the real estate dealer avers, some three oF four other colored peo: pie applied and ran the rent up to $28, land, naturally, got the fat. The dealer, of course, was unserupuious; but such men are’ often encountered in. Ite. |Now what is to be done about It? On some of the streets that are not east of State street can be found very com- fortable flats at a rental within the reach of all, and not fetitious; Dut they remain idle because of the eraze to be among tho so-called “dleties.” ‘Think of a man making $50 or $00 8 month and paying $40 of it for reat, [éepending, of course, upon boarders to make up the deficiency! ‘The ques- Hon of supply and demand In a con- Rested neighborhood, of course, regu. ates the price. Tt Is up to the people themselves to ‘find places of abode in the outlying districts where beautiful ‘bomes can be bought for what. they ‘are paying in rent.’ Transportation Is such that a mb or eo farther makes Very Uttle difference, ‘The real estate dealers would find, It this were done, that thelr property would drop back to Bormal and they would not be cen- sured for inflating prices, Thoye are always two sides to a question, | WHAT WILL THE UNIDNG DO? | A peculiar situation hag arisen in Cincinnati that will make ghe officials Ing.

There Is no man so bad but has a good streak in him somewhere, and it the responsive cord fs touched it im- mediately comes to the front. ‘The ex. periment bas lately heen tried by war- dens of ponitentiaries of puttiug the convicts on their honor and letting them work outside tho prison gates building raltroads, working on streets, ete., without being guarded.

Polly Moore had an engage: ment with young Phil Fuller and whey le rode up In his big touring car to take her out he was surprised,to leara that she was too ill to go. Yet as he turned away, he distinctly saw a pink parasol over the shoulder of a white frock move slowly across the lawn veside a blue serge suit of unmis taiiably good cut. Nobody in Laynivilie except Polly Moore had a complexion that warranted indulgence in a. pink purasol. All women know that pink Is tatal to artiflefal heauty and age. ‘Want to take a ride?” In bitter ness of soul Phil bailed pretty Kath- yn Stevens jut as he turned out of Moore's driveway. “Delighted!” iaughed the girl and climbed: in eside him. She had al- ways cherished 4 secret fondness for Phil, “How about the Country club?” he asked briefly. “Just the place," sho agreed. Her real name was Kathryn, but she was frequently dubbed “Kat” by unappre- clative ones to whom her social meth- ods were not ploasant. “Vm fust erazy about motoring.

He was already beginning to wonder I he had allowed his suspleion of the reality of Polly's fllness to show when he talked to her mother on the poreb. Inside his pocket and seeming to press hard on his heart was a flashing soll tarle that he hud expected, and per. Imag not without ‘reason, to stip ou Polly's left hand that very afternoon. He gripped the wheol and steered the car 80 violently to one side that he nearly precipitated his passenger fn a aiteh by the road. “Cor merey’s sake, Phil, what are you trying to do? You fairly took my breath away.” “Von't worry,” he retorted, savage ly, “nothing could do that. You have enough fn reserve to last a month.’ He repented instantly after taking 2 sidewise glance at the girl and seeing her tlushed face. “Forget {t" Didn't mean a thiug.

The to wero stopped many times as they made tholr way to a little table on the gallery over looking the river. For the first time in ha life, people irritated him. White he ordered everything on the menu a8 a sort of apology for his previous Jack of courtesy, Kathryn took out her gold vanity case and holding a di minutivo mirror before her, pracoeded to put on as much complexion as the wind bad blown off on the way to the club. Phil frowned. Polly never did those distressingly vulgar things thal pretty girls seom to think they are priviliged to do everywhere in the world—even at prayer, “Why don't you eat something?

She was so utterly dear! He ex. ceeded the speed limit and hurried Kathryn home. Then he went fh search of the nearest florist shop. The Uttle old German who sold flowers there thought that his customer must be crazy. “E want pink roses, dozons and doz ens of them." he ordered, “and 1 want them as quickly as you can get them together, please.” ‘ ilis heart throbbed violently at sight of a closed pink parasol by the side of a swing on the Moore's lawn There was the same inhabited blue sergo sult beside a white frock, bul to hiis relief he saw that the girl was not Polly. Then he remembered about an expected visitor. “May I see Poll: for fust a minute Mrs. Moore?” he begged at the door, “Why, yes. Phil. She Is in my sit ting room. She gave us quite a seare this morning but she is better now." Polly wus very pate where she sat propped up by a window.

All, these pleasing sights in Benton Harbor had only tended to raise my imagination that I was to witness our crowning glory and be the climax of our visit across the pond. We were a few hours late, owing to the fact that there is no auto service or bus line operated by the West Michigan resort, which should be thelr first thought, and save this money out of the coffers of those that don't care enough about it to drive out after their patrons, but after repeated phone calls simply inform you if you want a rig you can walk to ther livery, What a profitable field for some up- to-date race man. ‘On my way out, which carried us over very good road, the sight was most pleasing, for Nature bas a charm all her own—wild flowers, fruit trees of all Kinds loaded to the breaking point, and some of the trees so smnall that you would have to call them Precocious. After passing two great country homes, owned by two of our most prominent and highly esteemed race men, we suddenly turned in and, on asking the reason, I was informed that we had reached out destination, the great West Michigan resort.

Arriving there, we halted, unloaded; there we met a few friends that were real glad to see someone from civilization again. After greet: ings, I was off on my investigation tour. ‘These cottages are admirably sit: uated among real forests, and omlly need a little paint to make them more cheerful.

You can look ahead or to the right or left of you, and your heart beats faster with uclight and satisfaction when you know this is a race offort, and may God encourage their efforts and em, bitions, for the comfort, satisfaction and healthful pleasure are worth it, T venture to say, nowhere in this whole country can you flud a more magnificent beach, so well appointed so safe and isolated.

If you are not fortunate enough to oceupy a cottage, you must take a shower bath out in the yard, Your wife or lady friends must shower each other in this way. At the only pump, it seems a pity to waste such cool water. You pump, I hold a pitcher, wash-basin, duck trough, skillet or any old receptacle you put your foot in, one at a time: I will pour from the knee down; then the other. In this way they get the dirt off sufficiently to prevent soiling the orientals, This double washing 1s imperative, owing to the absence of any walks of any kind, not even around the hotel. A few dollars would put a two-board walk around the hotel. ‘Then aiong out to cottages, a few saplings cut in sticks four feet long would help to brace steps after they were cut into the bank, leading down to the beach. Electric lights would be strung along paths.. All of those barren acres not used for resort pur- poses should be made to yleld rev- enues for the stockholders and even pay the resorl’s running expenses. Corn, potatoes, tomatoes and plenty of hay can be raised to feed two or more cows, the like number of horses could be kept; that would insure a creditable bus team that should meet every traln if necessary, or be ready tor the accommodation of the resorters.

We were Introduced to her aunt, an elderly lady, who took charge of the little household, leaving her niece to perfect quiet and rest, as pre- scribed, ‘Mrs, Lee inquired the name of our physician, and was told Dr. Philip Ring—my Philip, as they ali called him. Why did I wish he had not been named, aud that mamma had recom- mended cld Dr. Foster? And, above all, why was I so strangely drawn to- ward Mrs, Lee? At parting, she pressed me to call frequently. ‘She loved young folks, she said; and how often did I find my- self running over during the summer that followed, A few days after my first call 1 was surprised to see Philip open the little gate that led to the cottage, and, after ringing the doorbell, be in- stantly admitted. Later In the day he told mo Mrs, Lee was very ill, not dangerously so, but with one of her old attacks. “Is she not lovely?" I asked. “More than lovely,” bo answered.

A great many were fearful that the opening of the new Avenue Theater at Thirty-first and Indiana avenue would affect the patronage of the prettiest and best play house on the South Side, the Grand, but such is not the case. In fact the attendance of late has been better; due, doubtless, to people returning from their vacations, and the cool weather. This week a bill of real merit was presented, opening with Kloof and Kloof in musical comedy surprises. They were clever and made a good impression. Ryan and Ryan could do more with their feet than they could with their voices, but managed to get by with a liberal applause. A burlesque on woman suffrage, entitled "The Woman of Tomorrow," was presented in a very acceptable manner by Iza Hampton and company. Cogan and Cox easily walked away with the honors and kept the house in an uproar. The Riva-Larsen troupe of equilibrists were marvels and did some phenomenal aerobic stunts on hanging ropes. The last half of the week was equally as good. THE STATES. The offering of The States this week — LaMar, Elmir and Johnson, Swan, Noring and Swan, and four first-run pictures — seemed to be enough to pack this popular playhouse nightly to overflowing. Mr. Tank, the genial proprietor, has adopted the policy of changing the vaudeville three times a week instead of twice, while the pictures, of course, are changed nightly. So there is always something new and pleasing to see. Joe Jordan and his famous Pekin orchestra are the standing attraction, and their selections range from rag time to grand opera, so everybody is pleased. AVENUE THEATER You May Now Sit Any The long fight by the Defender last week has brought results and victory in ours, supposing all our papers, white and otherwise would combat such evils as the one our Jewish friend wanted to put over on us; don't you know that Chicago would be the only burg on earth. There are lots of game college men here in Chicago and they are out for fair play. Several white young men went over Monday night to start a rough house if the theater did not sell a college chum of theirs a ticket, and they were disappointed when he got his ticket and marched to the main floor.

Last Saturday the boys from Raymond school played indoor ball against the Y. M. C. A. boys. The latter won, 24 to 16, in an exciting game. Then the members and visitors went for a cold shower bath and a swim, too. Frank Llegare won the 60-yard sprint race from the springboard to the other end. The Wendell Phillips high school boys have been invited to have games in the gymnasium and a swim Saturday afternoon. September 20. Boys from other schools will be invited to enjoy Y. M. C. A. hospitality each week now until they all get a chance. The boys' orchestra, which meets every Thursday at 4 o'clock, needs another cornet and some drums. Any boy who can play those instruments has a chance to join. There are no dues or fees of any sort. The senior orchestra was led by Mr. Dorsey this week. It is playing standard classics in masterful style and is sure to be one of the most talked about features of the association before many days. The night school will be open October 1 and will run five nights a week. Thoroughly competent teachers have been engaged. There will be a course in automobiling, a business course and a college preparatory course. Special emphasis will be placed upon automobile engineering and shorthand writing. The fees will be within the reach of any man who desires to enter the course. Rev. Jefferson of the Hope Presbyterian Church will be the speaker at the meeting Sunday at 4 o'clock.

This fair needs no introduction to the great masses of our people, just the name of our Blue Grass capital, the educational and pleasure gathering place, where the real Kentucky hospitality is extended to all. At this writing, there is being witnessed the largest parade in the history of the association, which is nearly a mile and a half long; every business, profession, bricklayer, hod carrier and cook participated in the parade, which consisted of autos, cabs, decorated wagons, uniformed camps, men on horseback, and several bands. A fuller description to be given in next week's issue. Dr. E. E. Underwood, the staunch political and fraternal orator, will deliver the principal address for the great opening of the fifth annual Lexington fair. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, editor of the Crisis, a monthly magazine, will be the guest of the fair. Dr. Du Bols is one of the foremost educators of this country. A special telegram was received from him by Dr. W. H. Ballard. The Louisville Herald, one of the best white daily papers in the state, with the largest circulation and the cheapest paper you can buy, that reaches the masses of both white and black. Hardin Tolbert, general newspaper correspondent, will write for the Sunday edition. If you have any news of general importance to the Negroes of the state, send it to Hardin Tolbert, Publicity Bureau at Frankfort, and look for the same through the Sunday edition at your home. The Louisville Herald has always given the Negroes a square deal. When Editor Lee L. Brown was a candidate for the legislature in the August primaries, the Louisville Herald gave his victorious race the front page, when the other papers didn't mention his victorious race. The Louisville Herald should be, in every Negro home, and you do yourself a justice by taking it. We must learn to appreciate the people who appreciate us. The first Baptist church was organized in 1833. Prior to that, the white and colored people worshiped together. Mr. John Ward donated the ground, and the deed was made to the First Baptist church. Mr. Henderson Williams began service there in 1838, and after which several pastors presided. Rev. Robert Mitchell, a lot opposite the governor's mansion for $3,000, to build the present church, which the City Council refused to give them a permit- to build, the case was taken to the Court of Appeals, and they were given a legal right to build. After several ministers were called here, Rev. Dr. W. T. Silvey, in 1905, was called, and after seven years of toil, at the helm, and nearly a thousand members succeeded in building a $25,000 church, which is one of the most magnificent colored churches in the state. Rev. Silvey is a great Evangelistic warrior. For twelve weeks he preached each night in the greatest church union meeting that has ever been held in the city. He has had several large positions offered him since his stay in this city. He owns the most magnificent residence on Normal Heights, with all the modern conveniences. He has a wife and six lovely daughters who are all Christian young girls, and are willing workers. The Corinthian Baptist church was organized in 1876. Rev. James H. Parish was the first regular pastor. This is the most cultured and up-to-date colored church in the state. They have had several pastors. The present one, Rev. Marshall Bell Lanier, pastor of the Corinthian Baptist church. Rev. Lanier was born in North Carolina. He was a student at Wayland Seminary at Washington, D. C., a great Baptist school. The Rev. J. M. P. King was president. He is a graduate of Lincoln University, Chester county, Pa., with A. B. from the college department. He has had a full course in theology at the Western Seminary, one of the best schools in the country. He has been dean of the theological department of State University, a great Baptist school in Louisville, Ky., since 1910, and has had remarkable success. He has come to the Corinthian Baptist church, THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Frankfort, Ky., a man of experience, well trained and with spiritual power. The St. John A. M. E. church was established in 1839, the building and ground was given by Mrs. Triplett, a white woman, to her servant, Benjamin Dunmore. It was afterwards deeded in trust to Harry Mordecal and Geo. Harlan. The first pastor was Rey. Geo. Harlan, and has had several others since. The present one is Dr. D. C. Carter, who is a great fighter of vice. He has several times put his life in jeopardy for the good of his people. He is a graduate of the Tennessee College and the National Medical College at Louisville. Rev. Carter has at all times brought in one of the best financial reports at the conference. While pastor at Shelbyville, he fought the corrupt police force, and whose life was threatened several times, and is doing a great work in this city.

CONFIDENCE MAN CAUGHT Mr. Cunningham Sends Letter to Defender and Thanks it for Telling of Confidence Man and That He Caught Him Wednesday Afternoon. Once more the Defender has scored a point which was appreciated by its readers. Several weeks ago the Defender told the story of a confidence man getting 706 from Mrs. Francis, 3407 State street, and how he represented himself to be agent for a U. S. Publishing Co.; Mr. Chester Cunningham was visited on Wednesday at 3242 State street, his place of business, and was trying to explain how he would give them a beautiful show case and keep them in all the magazines published if they would give him 70c for expressing the show case; this time he was nabbed by Mr. Cunningham and taken over to the box at 32d and State street, and rung up for the wagon; just as the police came up they all knew him and said, well we have you at last, ah! and they loaded him in; the case was called Thursday and had to be postponed because of the man's illness. Mr. Cunningham says he will never do without the Defender in his home. There is a reward out for this man and there will be an effort made to see that the baby cop gets the $1,000 for his man.

Professors Took Oath of Obedience to Youths Under Their Guidance—Courses of Five and 'Six Years the Usual Thing. College men of today, with their every move watched by the faculty, might well complain that they were born seven centuries too late. For at that early date, according to Henry Dwight Sedgwick in "italy in the Thirteenth Century," the students were the governing body. "The Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who was endowed with scant democratic sympathies, had tried to put the government of the University of Bologna in the hands of the professors," says Mr. Sedgwick, "but his system did not succeed. Little by little, and not without struggles, the students got the upper hand; before the end of the century their domination was well established, and the professors were obliged to take the oath of obedience to them. "The university was very large, students came from all western Europe; it was computed that the number in residence at one time was as high as ten thousand. They were of all ages from sixteen to forty; some of them were men of wide experience, many were beneficed clergymen." In important matters the student body met in general assembly. They also applited rectors for each guild, which was a club of students from one particular province. The rectors acted for the students in most matters. These rectors had civil jurisdiction over the members of the guilds and acquired jurisdiction over the professors when they took the oath of obedience, and had virtual authority before that owing to the students' power of withholding fees or putting a ban on any set of courses. In dealing with the municipal government, the power of the university lay in the fact that it had no building, no property, and could leave Bologna on a day's notice. Several times the students forced the towns to terms by emigration. Lectures were held in a professor's house or in a hired apartment. One similarity with things as they now are was that students lodged where they could, or clubbed together and took a house, bought or hired furniture, and engaged servants. Lectures were held in the morning and the afternoon. The long vacation came in September and October, and there were short vacations at Christmas and Easter and a few holidays for the carnival. The courses were long, five or six years being the usual period. The professors were paid either by the students who attended their courses, or, according to a system adopted toward the end of the century, by the city. But the professors acquired no greater freedom by this new system, for they were elected to the endowed chairs by the students from year to year. Discover Euclid's Lost Books "There has been a great deal of comment recently over the examinations for admission to the, military and naval academies and for admission to the marine corps," remarked A. J. Wetherington of Philadelphia. "I was very much amused at the comment of a young friend who recently went up against the board of examiners for the marine service. Speaking of the questions in geometry which were propounded to the boys, this youngster said, in a dry way: "History tells us that the old discoverer of the science of geometry—Euclid—who lived 300 years before Christ—wrote something like twenty books, which he called Elements, and that of this number seven were lost. The examining board of the marine corps have found those books, for the questions it put to us two wekes ago clearly demonstrated that it dug up some theorems which had not been seen in the last 2,000 years." Bullets That Drug. A new kind of bullet, known as the "narcotic bullet," is now being experimented with. A minute particle of morphia is used, and the drug is carried in tiny wells in the steel jacket of the regulation army bullet. The inventor claims that it is no way interferes with the effectiveness of the missile. The elight indentation in the steel jacket causes no splintering when it comes in contact with the bone, and no deleterious effects will follow the unique administration of the drug. The soldier receiving a slight fleshwound from the new bullet fights no more that day; he calmly stretches himself off the ground and goes to sleep. The man receiving a serious wound suffers no agony, as the narcotic from the bullet is absorbed by his system, and he is insnelle to pain before he reaches the hospital. Simple Matter of Fact. Little Jim, though he attended Sunday school every week, did not know quite so much about Scriptural history as he ought to have known, but when his sister asked him, "Where was Solomon's temple?" he was rather angry that she should think him unable to answer a simple question like that. "Don't you think I know anything?" he asked. "Well, where was it, then?" his sister repeated, and then he informed her. "On the side of his forehead, of course—the same as other folk's. Do you think I am a dunce?" Silk Hat Rules England Those persons who think that the high silk hat has gone out of style do not get their fashions from London. In a recent number of Men's Wear, there is a full page illustration, showing eighteen different ways in which English men are wearing collars and ties. On every head there is a bluish silk hat. The collars are some loose standing and some of the turn-down variety, while the ties vary from the simple bow to the old-fashioned stock with the four-in-hand predominant.

Right here we are only sorry we are not able to print the entire speech of Mr. Ross, but nevertheless we must tell you 4 few good things brought to us by our great Jeader. He told of the hard struggles ie had in trying to restore the organization back to ite standard after the death of Mr, Griffith, the close watch he kept on the business of the organization, both night and day. Mr, Ross is a man that we should be proud of, no matter whether we are ‘True Reformers are not. He is one of us and too much cannot be sald of Mr. Ross. At the close, Mr. Ross took great pleasure in introduc. ing to the audience Mother Brown, who is a personal friend of Mr. Ross and a supporter of the organization and all race enterprises, who declares it Js our duty to stand by the organ- izution, uphold and support its prin- ciples and if we do this we will soon reach that type of civilization that has been so long argued that the Negro will never attain. Dr. Venerable, of the North Chicago Baptist church, who lias been associated with Mr, Ross in many business enterprises, also made a very Impressive talk n favor of the organization. Mrs. Luella Young, of Chicago, president of the Rosebud Nursery, also made a very short speech concerning the organiza- tion.
