[Special to The Chicago Depender.] Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 1.—Dr. Booker T. Washington was the guest of the National Baptist Convention that closed here Tuesday. Never before in the successful career of this distinguished educator was e given such an ovation. There were Baptists here from every state in the union. The monster hall was paused with delegates and visitors. Dr. J. C. Morris, president of the convention, presided. Rev. Pious, who had charge of a choir of 100 trained voices directed an especially arranged choir. Dr. Washington did not price words in his address. He told his people that in cities where coloured people are and are not fairly treated not to be that there are 9,000,000 black people in the South, a population larger than that of Canada, as I have said, and if these black people are treated in a way to make them feel kindly toward the railroads it would pay from a commercial point of view because of the increased traffic which 9,000,000 Negroes would furnish to the railroads. "After the railroads have done their part, let us as a race see to it that we do our part in helping keep the railroad coaches and depots clean and comfortable. "Say these things directly but in a polite and kindly way to the railroad officials and everywhere they will listen to our appeals and bring about a changed and improved condition. "We must not content ourselves, however, with occupying a mere negative, complaining attitude. No race of mere fault finders and whinners ever makes much progress. Funda- JONAH BUYS COAL YARD Jonah Secures Coal Yard and Track for the Colored People of the South. Owing to the time of arrival that we go to press we regret that we have not time and space to give to the public the full account of the late deal of securing a coal yard for the Colored people of the South Side; but next week there will be some interesting pictures of proposed building used for laundry and machine shop where colored people and white friends of the race will be exclusively used. Many entries of patents by Negro inventors are being prepared for exhibit at the exhibition space set apart at 3123 South State street. Many important announcements will be made in The Defender next week. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smith, 6026 Aberdeen street, entertained Mrs. L. W. Clarke of Xenla, O., sister of Mrs. G. W. Carter, who will leave the city Monday after a delightful visit. Mrs. Smith is the wife of Xenla's most prominent undertaker. On Monday evening of this week Mr. Smith celebrated his "steenth" birthday. All the belles and society girls, maids and matrons were present to do him honor. Mr. Smith being a favorite, there was not a dry lip at the party, for he kissed them all. (Special to The Chicago Dealer.) Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 1.—Dr. Booker T. Washington was the guest of the National Baptist Convention that closed here Tuesday. Never before in the successful career of this distinguished educator was e given such an ovation. There were Baptists here from every state in the union. The monster hall was paced with delegates and visitors. Dr. C. Morris, president of the convent, presided. Rev. Pious, who had charge of a choir of 100 trained voices directed an especially arranged chops. Dr. Washington did not once words in his address. He told his people that in cities where colloid people live and are not fairly treated not to be "mealy mouth" but tell the officials of the condition, to the end that such will be eradicated. He spoke with great emphasis on the obligation of railroads in the South, of is filth, poor ventilation, and urged those in charge to right these wrongs for humanity's sake. He was cheered then he said, after the railroads have done their part we must do ours. He spoke at Ryman auditorium, the largest hall in the state, and the audience fairly blazed with enthusiasm. He spoke at length and said in part: "We must not only tackle the problems that concern our vice as a whole, but we must be equally frank in a polite, kindly way, letting the Southern white man know that our conditions and needs are. He will listen to us. "For example, in a polite, kindly way we should constantly remind the officers in the cities where we live that our people, except in a few cases, are not treated with justice in the matter of lighting the streets or in the convenience of sewerage and drainage. We should remind the white man everywhere that if he expects us to live a clean, orderly life that we should have better facilities for the education of our children. "In one county of the South each white child had spent upon him for his education last year about $21, while each Negro child in that same county had spent upon him for his education about 98 cents. There is no white man in the South who will not acknowledge that such a difference is pitiful. "We should too, with equal frankness and equal politeness, remind those in charge of the railroads of the South that in few cases do our people receive justice or are they treated with common humanity when they travel upon the railroads. We should let the officials know that in many cases our men and women are crowded into filthy cars, poorly ventilated, not large enough, and in many cases one toilet room made to serve both men and women, that we seldom have proper facilities for getting food when travelling on the railroads. We should remind those in charge of the railroads that if they take the same money from our people for railroad tickets that they take from the white people that they should have equal treatment on the railroad. If a black man and a white man subscribe for a newspaper or buy a yard of cloth from a white man the newspaper and the yard of cloth which the Negro recounts as much as the newspaper or the yard of cloth sold to the white man there is no difference in these respects. There should be no difference so far as accommodations are concerned on the railroads. "We should make our appeal to the railroad authorities on the ground of common humanity, on the ground of common justice, and then we should try to convince the people who own and operate the railroads that from a commercial point of view it will pay to treat the Negro with more justice; (Continued on page 6.)

CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1913 THE TRAIN This is the first picture published by any newspaper, of the champion since his exit from the United States. Facing the champion, with back haf' turned towards you, can be seen Mr. Joe Levi, private secretary. Facing the champion with straw hat is Lord Pettiford, the mili-nillionaire and special friend, who has always admired the champion and is about to take his yacht to the lord's private summer home about thirty miles from London. Mrs. Johnson can be seen with her usual smile. Just outside the wharf are 10,000 or more people waiting to see the world's greatest champion, who has fought and won from Jeffries to Uncle Sam, making a clean breakaway, and has never fouled either. The champion says, owing to the ill health of his twenty-second cousin, he will not return to the United States in October 4. ARTHUR WELLS VISITS. OLD HOMESTEAD Mr. Arthur A. Wells, who has been in the service of Mrs. Pullman for forty-three years, took a vacation three weeks ago and returned to the city the first of the week. It was the first vacation this veteran has had in forty years. So pleased was he with his trip at Washington, D. C.; Portsmouth and Norfolk, Va., that he acted like an 18-year-old college chap. Mr. Wells knew all the old settlers at the cities visited and was given the time of his life. Friends entertained him in Washington and relatives in Virginia. He spoke of the material progress made by the Virginians, but denounced bitterly race discrimination practiced. "I was surprised," said Mr. Wells, "to see the Defender in so many homes where I visited and was entertained." DR. BUCKNER AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE (Special to The Defender.) #Tuskegee, Ala., Sept. 26. Dr. G. W. Buckner of Evausville. Ind., recently appointed and confirmed United States minister to the republic of Liberia, spent a few days at Tuskegee this week in conference with Dr. Booker T. Washington and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, the secretary. Dr Washington wishes to be the greatest service possible to the Liberian people and Dr. Buckner came to get "pointers on the situation," as he puts it, from the two heads of the institute. SOUTH AFRICAN AT TUSKEGEE Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Sept. 26.—Davidson Jabavu, a native of South Africa and a graduate of the London University, has been commissioned by the minister of native affairs of Pretoria, Transvaal, to visit Tuskegee Institute and make an active study of the methods being used in the conduct of that institution, with a view to adopting them in connection with their education. The government of South Africa has asked him to spend considerable time at the institute. JUST THE SAME. It is as weak to be wrong as I is wrong to be weak—W. Baston. MR. WILLIAM E. SANSABAUGH REACHES CHICAGO Victim of Automobile Tragedy Arrives in the City After One of the Most Trying Ordeals He Ever Experienced. Mr. William B. Sansabaugh, a dining car waiter, of 5472 Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill., married, and a brother of Mrs. Susie Franklin, 3217 Dearborn street, who was rescued from the hydraulic canal at Niagara Falls, was resting easily on Wednesday when seen by a Defender reporter. He is at the home of his sister, under the patient and watchful care of his wife and sister. Mr. Sansabaugh within the twinkle of an eye came near losing his life. When his wife received the telegram she was prostrated with grief. William Roberts, a victim of speed mania, took Sansabaugh for an automobile drive. Rob- Mr. Wm. E. Sansabaugh. erts, it is said, had been drinking. He was at the wheel of a 45-horsepower roadster. Sansabaugh was seated at his left, and the machine was going at a rate of fifty miles per hour, it is said, and the driver thought he was in Buffalo avenue, and did not know the road ended at Quay street. Stanley E. W. Taylor, the Englishman, Who Will Be Awarded Carnegie Medal for Saving Life. The car climbed the wall at the canal at the end of the street and turned completely over, dropping down into the water. Along the canal was a boom of logs about fourteen feet wide, used in winter to hold back the ice. Men and women rushed to the scene. There was the wildest excitement. There was not a bubble to mark where the machine and its human freight had disappeared. Mr. Stanley Taylor (white) an Englishman, dived in the water and reached the raft on which Mr. Sansabaugh was holding for dear life. The Englishman slipped several times and went down in the water himself up to his waist. He crawled back, caught the sinking man by the arms, dragged him from the water. Excitement was so great by that time that a fire alarm was turned in, but the fire fighters were too late—the Englishman had saved the life of a fellow being. The dead body of Roberts was found a week afterwards. Sansabaugh was placed in an automobile and rushed to St. Mary's Hospital. Dr. Frank Jones was called and found that his pelvis had been fractured and side caved in. Since his illness, Mr. Stanley Taylor has called to see the sick man constantly and kept his room filled with flowers. Mrs. Sansabaugh and his sister have had all kinds of praise for the Englishman's bravery and heroism and GROCERY DEALERS ROBBING COLORED CITIZENS WITH LOADED SCALES ON SOUTH SIDE Jewish Merchant Who Has Been Robbing Poor Colored People for Years Continues to do Business at Same Stand and Store Still Crowded Each Day—These Poor Devils That Only Get $25 a month for Their Labor, With No Chance to Work at a Trade of Any Kind, Are Held Up Each Day for the "Pound of Flesh."

For years and years the people of the "black belt" have been robbed with their eyes wide open. Jews have grown rich by stealing the hard-earned money of the poor laboring class of colored people. This is no dream. It is an actual fact that Abram Bass, who operates a butcher shop and a thieving den at 2816 State street, has grown wealthy by stealing with a device to cheat his customers. a pound of butter act on the scale like a sack of flour." Officer Allbright astounded the court by bringing the device and working it before the judge. He demonstrated while the court watched. "How many stores do you own?" asked the judge of Bass. "Two," said the thieving butcher. "Fifty dollars and costs," said the court. "You ought to own a dozen," said the judge, "using such a system on the poor laboring colored The tricky scales of Bass were used on Mrs. Hattie Brown on last Saturday evening. The good woman had been used to feeding preachers in the South and handled many springs, roosters and hens, and could not be fooled. She had her basket loaded on last Saturday evening with big, fat poultry to entertain dinner on Sunday some of the visiting members who were attending the Illinois conference. Her basket seemed to waste away under the hardships of the journey, or so much so that in passing she mentioned it to Officer Allbright. "Mr. Policeman," said Mrs. Brown, "these chickens weighed four pounds apiece when Bass sold 'em. Do they look that fat to you?" continued the madam. "They are mighty thin chickens," said the officer. "You are being skinned." The two went immediately to Bass' thieving shop, weighed the chickens, and they only weighed a pound and a half aplece. Mrs. Brown was dum-founded. She fell out and cried, after thinking how many others had been cheated by this thief and robber. Bass was arrested and on Monday appeared before Judge Newcomer. Now, Judge Newcomer is one of the fairest and squarest judges on the bench—he plays no favorites and makes the punishment fit the crime. The policeman testified, stating: "I was curious, especially because he reached under just about the spot on the counter where the scale was. So I looked. There was a pedal with a cut string. The other end of the string ran through the scale. I tied the ends together, judge, and then I could make sent telegrams thanking him for rescuing the husband and brother. Carnegie Medal. There is a movement on foot to get Mr. Taylor a Carnegie medal for his plucky dive and heroism. Mr. Sansabaugh holds a $2,000 policy in the Travelers Insurance Company, which covers life, accident and health. Since his arrival here the first of the week, rafroad men have been going to the home in streams inquiring of his condition. At a late hour last night he was resting well and almost out of danger. KNOX IN THE CITY. Managing Editor of Freeman Here on Business. Elwood C. Knox, managing editor of the Indianapolis Freeman, was in the city this week, the guest of Mrs. Henry C. Smith, 3850 Dearborn street, his sister-in-law, Mr. Knox came on business and was in the hands of Mr. Cary B. Lewis, the Freeman representative. Mr. Knox was entertained on Monday evening at the Pompel Cafe by Toney Langston, Tom McCain and the Shoecraft brothers. He left Tuesday on the "Dixie Flyer." NOT. MRS. MAMIE, BUT MRS. \ LULA MOORE.

"Two," said the thleving butcher. "Fifty dollars and costs," said the court. "You ought to own a dozen," said the judge, "using such a system on the poor laboring colored citizens." Systems of robbery of this kind at the various Jew stores on State street have been going on for years. Men have been caught and arrested, but with political pull gotten out. Greek restaurants have sold members of the rotten meat, grocery stores have sold stale canned goods clerks have cheated and stolen while weighing flour, buter and meat. Jumping-jack weights have been installed behind counters and through this means store-keepers have hoarded up most of the earnings of poor people in this section. When Jonah was speaking about race discrimination, the unfairness of the white merchants toward colored citizens, he was hounded so much and so often that he was forced to leave the corners. He went into a house and still they molested him, until finally he organized a co-operative company, whereby Negroes could buy and sell their own goods on square scales. Then the officers and "powers higher up" tried to stop him, but injustice had gone too far, and Lawyer W. G. Anderson came to his rescue. Men and women should watch closely when they are waited on. Too long have the Jews on State street stolen from you. Pay attention to everything sold you. Don't make these beautiful scoundrels rich off your earnings. It is reported that the Jews have a system all over the city to "skin" their brother in black. Buyers, take warning. There are a few stores who have done the right thing by the colored people, and you know them; they are the ones to patronize. WHO IS MR. MONROE? That the Police Should Salute Him—Street Cars Should Stop for Him. Mr. Monroe, one of Cincinnati's popular citizens, is in the city, having the "time of his life." He is so carried away with the city that he thinks he will return here. The various pleasures accorded him were from Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Butler and Mrs. J. A. Woodard. Upon the visitor's arrival Mr. Monroe was entertained at dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Butler. It was a delightful affair. Mr. Monroe stated that Mrs. Butler was a prize winner as a culinary artist. After seeing the city, seeing sights from the North to the South Side, Mr. and Mrs. Woodard took him in hand. Mr. Woodard laid off to show him the town. He felt as chesty as the mayor with his Cincinnati friend as his guest. On Monday night he was entertained with pomp and style by Mr. and Mrs. Woodard at their home, 4823 Grove avenue, 'Mr. R. S. Abbott was invited. A delicious dinner of eight courses was served. HOTEL WASHINGTON ARRIVALS. Eric Barnes, Ashland, Ky.; Mrs. L. Houston, Washington, D. C.; H. L. Murphy, Madison, Wis.; J. B.

THE SOUTH MUST NOT BE MOLESTED Secretary McAdoo Is Doing His Duty to Repay the South for Their Loss During the War of '61-'65 President Wilson, Which Is a Sacred Promise Every Southern White Boy Makes. That He Will Do All in His Power to Make Amends for Their Losses. DR C. BENTLY SCQRES M'ALOO FOR ACTS. The Thinking Public of Color Are Not Asleep on the Way the Government Has Treated Them—Nor Are They Asleep as to How the Unions Have Treated Them—Uncle Tom Says There'll Be a Day of Reckoning and the Poor Working Man and His Unions May Need Help. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Washington, D. C., Sept. 26.—The architect's office, one of the bureaus of the Treasury Department, has received instructions to arrange for the installation of separate toilet rooms for Negro employees in all federal buildings south of Mason and Dixon line. This order, everyone believes, is another evidence of John Skelton Williams', the assistant secretary of the treasury, hatred of the race. Williams' orders to segregate a race or class, however, cannot become operative without the approval of Secretary McAdoo. The fact that these segregation orders are in effect is proof they have McAdoo's approval. And Secretary McAdoo would not approve such insulting orders if he knew that the President was opposed to them. The fact that McAdoo permits the orders to go into effect is proof that President Wilson is in favor of them. In the office of Auditor for the Navy a colored man has been assistant chief of a division, the only colored employee occupying such a position. He was promoted to this position by Ralph Tyler when he was the auditor, because of efficiency. Recently John Skelton Williams, the Negro-hating Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, who hails from Richmond, Va., visited the office in question, it being one of the bureaus under him, and when he learned that a Negro was assistant chief of a division promptly gave orders that he should be removed from that position. The chief clerk informed the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury that the Negro was the most efficient employee in the division, and that he had most acceptably filled the position for the past six years. To this John Skelton Williams replied that it did not make any difference how efficient he was he would not stand for a Negro being over white employees. When Dr. Charles Bently, of Chicago, was here two weeks ago, discussing the deplorable anti-race sentiment in the government departments, he said the time had come when "we must make our protests spectacular." If the unjust discrimination against the race by this administration continues there are those who fear that there will be a display of resentment so spectacular as to startle the country. One thing, no doubt, which emboldens the administration in its segregation policy is that it believes it has the endorsement of high Negro officials in the service, because these high officials are bringing to bear every possible influence to retain their jobs; and that it has the endorsement of the alleged Negro Democrat, because he is willing to accept appointment, if he can get it. It is currently reported here that Charles W. Anderson, collector at New York, has and is bringing to bear all possible influence to retain his office; that Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds, has done likewise, and that a petition is ready to be filed asking for Judge Terrell's retention. Negroes holding appointive offices who will ask for retention become approvers of the Wilson segregation policy even more so than the Negro Democrat who seeks appointment. President Wilson told Oswald Garrison Villard that the segregation policy had been endorsed by Negroes of national standing. The question being asked here is: Have present incumbents who are working to stay endorsed this segregation? Not one of these gentlemen has publicly, or even quasi-publicly, spoken against the damnable regation policy. THE SICK LIST. Mrs. B. B. Johnson of 57th place is able to sit up after a severe illness. Miss Jessie Holmes, who has been ill for four months, is convalescent. We are pained to hear of the very serious illness of Mrs. Davis, 3829 Wabash avenue.

She is much better. Little Dorothy Cample of 6014 Aberdeen street is sick in Post Graduate hospital. The father of Mrs. Maud Craig is sick at her home, 5714 Lafayette avenue. Mrs. Mamie Bluitt of 6534 Aberdeen street is better, able to set up. Mr. Norman J. Booher, who has been at home with his wife, who was stricken with a paralytic stroke on the 7th, has resumed his old position, trailing the lonesome dimes with the C. & N. W. to Omaha. Wish him well, boys. He's a prince of good fellows. News of the Churches WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Corner Thirty-eighth and Dearborn Streets—Rev. H. J. Callis, Pastor. Tag Day at our church, Thursday, the 18th, was a strenuous day for those who worked. We are grateful to the general public for the splendid response of a little over two hundred dollars. This money will be applied on our November anniversary rally for the mortgage fund. Anniversary week will begin with the first Sunday in November. The rally will take place on the second Sunday. All of those who are working for the rally, whether with clubs or with books or other agencies, are expected to make bi-weekly reports commencing with Monday evening, October 6. Every member and friend of the church is expected to be on record as raising at least five dollars in this effort. Mr. J. Wilbur Hesser, the general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of Chicago, will deliver his famous talk on "The World-wide Brotherhood" in our church on Sunday evening, October 5, accompanied by stereopticon demonstrations. This is a rare treat and no one should miss hearing Mr. Messer at this time. The funeral of Mr. Henry Colline took place at our church Sunday, the 14th. He was a member of the Order of Elks. The society attended in regalla. The services were very impressive and a large audience was present. Miss Lucile Irving was buried from her late residence on East Forty-first street September 17. Rev. Callis officiated. The funeral of Mr. Fred Kelly, which took place at our church last Sunday afternoon, was very largely attended. He was a member of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, and had attained the rank of captain. The order was out in full. HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES. At the morning service the pastor, Dr. C. Lee Jefferson, preached a splendid sermon from the toop, "The Ground of Forgiveness." The sacrament of the Lord's supper was administered in the evening. Mrs. H. L.

A splendid program will be rendered, after which refreshments will be served. The twenty-fifth anniversary celebration begins October 5 and lasts several days. There was a special teachers' meeting held after the regular Sunday school session last Sunday. The proceeds from tag day were somewhat over $50. Subscriptions for the building and improvement fund are now due. ST. LUKE'S M. E. CHURCH. Our services were well attended on last Sunday. At the evening service the pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon. Many were out to hear him. We are getting everything out of the way for our revival, which will begin next month. Our chief object now is to build up our membership. Will you come and worship with us? The Sunday school continues to grow. Our attendance last Sunday ran up into the fifties. The superintendent was well pleased with the showing. Mr. B. P. Boyd read a very excellent paper at last Sunday's literary meeting on "Citizenship." Those who heard Br. Boyd were well pleased with the way in which he handled his subject. The literary extended to Mr. and Mrs. Boyd a rising vote of thanks for having appeared on the program, and invited them to return soon. President Caldwell's aim is to furnish good talent for these Sunday afternoon meetings, and all he asks is that you give his speakers an audience. A very excellent program is arranged for next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Come early and hear all the numbers on the program. THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH. 3825 Dearborn Street—Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., Ph. D., Minister. Fifty-two conversions and accessions are the results thus far of the revival meetings being held by the Rev. R. A. Adams. The gospel choir has rendered exceptional service and their inspiring music has been wonderfully helpful in the work of soul-saving. Dr. Adams preached Sunday morning and evening. His sermon of Sunday evening was one of the most effective of his whole series. The Institutional Church is delighted at the return of Dr. Carey for the ensuing conference year, and the officers and members are planning to make this the most successful year in the church's history. The stewardesses, deaconeses, Servo Club, Dearborn Center Club, Lovejoy Club and August Club will have their annual meetings during the week and reorganize for the year's work.

Church, Fiftieth street and Wabash avenue, a special service for men was held. They were desirous of having at least 100 men at this service, and were gratified in having 125 men seated in a body in front of the minister. Four, new names were added to the church register. Mr. Tucker, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., spoke to the men and boys on behalf of that organization, its aims, and its work for men and boys, urging them to become members of the association and help the church save men and boys. The strength of your character, and mine, is evidenced when, surrounded by wickedness and sin, we are able to stand. And we shall not be able to stand except God be with us and fight our battles for us. Rev. J. B. Martin of M. E. Church, West Side, very acceptably filled Rev. Robinson's pulpit Sunday morning. Madame Pattl Brown sang most beautifully and feelingly "Save Me, O, God." Those who heard this beautiful solo by this gifted singer were indeed fortunate. Great Parade and Program —Noted Speakers—Great Throng —15th Anniversary Celebrated —Lincoln's Name Cheered. HON. A. H. ROBERTS' SPEECH. "We shall meet him, we shall miss him, There will be one vacant chair. We shall linger to caress him When we breathe our evening prayer." The race celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of Lincoln's proclamation Monday at the Seventh Regiment Armory after a monster street parade. The program included a parade, a jubilee and a dance in the evening. The parade formed at Twenty-ninth and Wabash and moved west to State, down State to Thirty-eighth, thence to Wabash, from there to Thirty-third over to La Salle to the armory. It was viewed by a great throng, many of whom did not know it was going to take place, but was attracted by the music. The parade was headed by eleven police of the race under the command of Patrolman Tucker. Those in line were Chambliss, Igou. Whitley, Jackson, Price, South, B. W. Williams and Glinn. Then came the 12th regiment band of the Odd Fellows. After that came a wagon decorated with cotton, then a spinning wheel surrounded by young people representing the people during the war times. The Lincoln wagon followed. The G. A. R. came next in autos, the first containing the John Brown Post, the second some more of the same post and the drum and life corps of the W. R. Wyman Post of Pullman, Ill. The drum corps was white. The Woman's Relief Corps was next, the Olustee Circle, the Fort Wagner Circle, three wagons with children representing education; Mr. Lewis' lady band, speakers' auto. Here the 8th regiment was to have joined the procession, but for some unknown reason they did not put in an appearance nor have a representative. The colored fire department followed. The veterans' hose cart with the following inscription, "Organized Dec. 21, 1872." Then came the hose cart of today, the fire engine, all manned by race men. The following were out: Lieut. Wickliffe, Engineer W. Ellington, Engineer Ed. Partee, Pipeman Frank Wright, Robert Hudson, H Sunbait, Mathew Grier, Jimmie Harris, M. Ward, G. Jones, N. Curry, J. R. Jackson and C. Jones. The Boy Scouts from the West and South Sides followed, then came the business wagons and the parade ended. The jubilee at the armory brought out a large crowd, and time and again the speakers were interrupted by applause. The program opened with the hand playing "My Country Tis of Thee." Mrs. Taylor of the Relief Corps spoke. The children's chorus of a hundred voices sang the "Star-Spangled Banner." Maj. John C. Buckner was then introduced and he aroused the enthusiasm by dwelling on the facts that present the race today and those fifty years ago. He spoke of the carelessness of the voter in allowing himself to believe in a man that would sit dumb and allow the signs that hung in the Treasury building, in the Pension Office. He spoke to the children in particular and thanked them for the effort they had made in helping to make this affair a grand success. A few remarks were offered by the past commander of the John Brown Post. Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett was next on the program, but failed to put in an appearance. The children sang another selection, after which the Hon. A. H. Roberts offered an oration that will live long in the hearts of those who heard him, for he not only dwelt on the advancement of the race, but on the wrongs that had been thrust upon them not only in the South but right here at our very door. The rest of the program consisted of an address by Bishop Samuel Fallows, Hon. E. H. Morris, Col. Jasper Darling, Mrs. Ida Wright and a few others. Part of the speech of Hon. Roberts consisted of a review of the history of the black man in the war times—his suffering and the way the American people had treated him since the war. He spoke of the injustice that the press here in this city is constantly doing the race by painting in headlines the misdemeanors of individuals and falling to mention acts that should warrant praise. From 5:30 the Boy Scouts from the West and South Sides held an exhibition drill, and at eight the floor was cleared for dancing, the Odd Fellows' band furnishing the music. The committee made a mistake by merely having a few bills hung on State street. This affair should have been advertised in our papers that go in the homes of all the people in Chicago. It is regrettable that such a deserving occasion was attended by only 200 when it should have been 2,000 and more. Such a celebration needs a promoter—one who knows how to advertise and not only who knows how to spend money with printers' offices that are right. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER. News Notes of th By R. W.

Freedmen's Bank Depositors Want Their Money. At the recent solution of the Lott Carcey Implant Foreign Missionary Association a resolution was adopted asking the government to pay the balance due the depositors of the ill-fated Freedmen's Savings and Trust Company, the history of whose failure is well known to the country. The amount now due is $1,251,744.50 and represents depositors located chiefly in the South. Sixty-two per cent of the debt has already been paid and the deficit is the remaining 38 per cent; 61,131 depositors are included in the list of claimants. Rev. James L. White is keeping the matter before congress and he is asking that the senate include the amount due in the deficiency bill now under consideration by that body. The seventeenth annual session of the Lott Carey Mission elected the following officers: President, Rev. C. S. Brown, Vinton, N. C.; recording secretary, Rev. A. W. Pegues, Raleigh, N. C.; corresponding secretary, Rev. W. M. Alexander, Baltimore, Md., and treasurer, Rev. J. H. Hughes, Berkley, Va. Next year's convention will be held in Raleigh, N. C.

Fast Slipping Away—"We Should Worry" When We Have Such Men as Lewis and Tyle. Washington, Sept. 26.—Edward E. Resteaux, writing to the Nation's Mirror, has the following to say, "The policy of this administration is strangely, strikingly and energetically anti-Negro. Not strangely, however, when we analyze the cplexion of the president's advisers, and consider that his early environments make him in accord with those advisers. And neither is it more energetic than the policy being pursued in the very section from which his advisers come—the South." "That this policy has it view the complete elimination of the Negro from the federal service, other than as mere menials, no one conversant with affairs on the inner circles here at Washington doubts of a moment. The segregation policy is out the fore runner of elimination. "There was some surprise when Wm. H. Lewis, assistant attorney general, and Ralph Tytler, auditor for the navy, were so early selected to illustrate that to the victor belongs the apolls. Because of the admirable manner in which each had conducted a difficult office, and because of the unique positions they occupied—one 'next' to the cabinet office and the other handling the accounts of the very exclusive navy officers—it was surmised even in official circles that these two officials would be among the last to go of Negro officials. But they were the first to be let out. "A high official explained to me why Lewis and Tyler were selected to lead the van of retiring Negro officials. Said he: "These two officials were too active in agitating representation for their race; they were too active in complaining against race discrimination in the departments. Had they been good Negroes (but he didn't say Negroes) and been content with drawing their salaries and keeping their mouths shut, and not been so interested in alleged rights of their race, they might have been retained for a few months longer. But this administration is not pro-Negro, and it has no use at all for the Negro who insists that his people shall have the same privileges in the service as white men. We don't regard the Negro as being entitled to the same privileges white employees are entitled to." "This explains why Lewis and Tyler were early followed by white men in their positions. They were not 'good niggers.' They were too punitious about their rights and the rights of their race. In short, they erred in supposing that because they were American citizens they were entitled to the rights and privileges of American citizens." Tread Grapes With the Feet.

Men Do Not Work for Wages, But for Share of Catch—240 Vessels and 6,838 People Engaged in the Business in 1912. New York.—Two recent consular reports from St. Pierre call attention to the many interesting and unique features of the French fisheries on the Newfoundland banks. This industry is more than 400 years old, and has changed but little with the progress of the centuries. The only important innovation was the substitution of light dories for the clumsy "chaloupe" in use prior to 1865. It is true that within the past five years the steam trawler has appeared as a rival, but not yet a dangerous rival, of the brig and schooner. In 1912, 240 vessels and 6,838 men engaged in the Banks fisheries constituted what is known as the "metropolitan" fleet, i.e., vessels fitted out in Normandy and Brittany. These vessels leave France in late March or early April and require from 14 to 45 days for the passage, according to wind and weather. The voyage is perilous, for the craft are very small and the methods of navigation are of the simplest. The masters of these vessels take observations for latitude, but have no chronometers and cannot determine their longitude with any accuracy. On the outward journey they can tell roughly from soundings when they have arrived at the Banks; returning they can estimate their position when they cross the steamer lanes converging toward the English channel. Besides the metropolitan fleet, a certain number of vessels (40 in 1912) are fitted out in the colony of St. Pierre and Miquelon and manned with Normans and Bretons, who come out in the spring on a steamer chartered for the purpose and return to France at the end of the season. Formerly these men made the journey in nailing vessels, which were often dangerously crowded. The combined fleet in 1912 numbered 7,500 fishermen. The fishermen do not work for wages, but for a share in the catch. THE STREETS OF BERLIN Street In Quaint St. Pierre. Before they leave France they receive an advance payment, varying from $75 to $150, to be deducted from their future earnings. If, as not infrequently happens, a man's share at the end of the season is not sufficient to cover the amount advanced to him, the owner of the vessel loses the difference, and the man himself comes home with empty pockets. The fisherman's total earnings in seven months of hard labor and exposure probably do not average more than $150. Strangely enough, the man appear to be content with their lot, and all the reforms that have been effected toward improving their wages and the conditions under which they labor have been initiated by naval officers, administrative officials, enlightened shipowners, and persons engaged in the Societe des Oeuvres du Mer. "GRIZZLY BEAR" OLD GREEK French Historian Derives It From an Ancient Sacrificial Dance Performed in Athens. Paris—Much attention is being given to a remarkable article by Leon La Parge, the historian, tracing the descent of the "grizzly bear" dance from an ancient Greek "bear dance" solemnly performed in Athens every five years. It is said to have come originally from the city of Brauron, one of the twelve towns of the Ionian Confederation, and to have been instituted in honor of the goddess Artemis to appease her wrath on account of a pet she-bear of hers, which was accidentally killed by a young girl devotee. The dance was performed in the spring by the young girls of Athens, dressed in saffron robes and carrying palm branches, who on the appointed day mounted the Acropolis, followed by their parents leading goats for the sacristice. There, to the sound of sacred bymus the girls, some times disguised as bears, danced around the image of the goddess, imitating the steps and movements of the sacred she-bear—dancing "the grizzly bear," in fact. This discovery of the illustrious lineage of a dance thought to be of American origin, is causing people to regard it with increased respect and interest. It is now hoped that records of the turkey trot may be found in Egyptian inscriptions, or of the bunny-hug among the brick tablets of Assyria. Catch Poundmaster's Dog Tarrytown, N. Y.-The joke was on William Martin, poundmaster, when George Heike, a dog catcher, caught Martin's pet dog, took it to the pound and killed it. Martin's dog had been allowed to run free, although there is a quarantine in force here. Remarkable Phenomenon That Is Said to Have Been Witnessed by Party of Scotsmen. A strange phenomenon, said to have been seen by a party of people walking on the Stratth blame road, close to the Glasgow Corporation's Mugdock reservoir, Milgavle, is reported with all seriousness and circumstance by the Glasgow (Scotland) Herald. "They witnessed," say the Herald, "the remarkable sight of a rick of hay, weighing some hundredweights, rising in the air in front of them. "When it had reached a certain altitude the stack burst, and the hay was blown in all directions. There was nothing in the atmospheric conditions or on the spot to indicate the reason for the strange happening." Noticing an account of the incident in the Glasgow Evening Times, Mr. John Mucklejack, manager of Conderligg colliery, Larkhall, writes to that paper describing a similar incident in a hayfield adjacent to the colliery office. "The farmer, Mr. Struthers, Alexander Kidd, and others were standing at the smithy door about 1:15 p. m. The heat was very great at the time and there was no wind. Strange to say, without any visible warning a coll of hay was suddenly taken up into the air in a whirling manner to a height of probably 400 feet or thereby. Just when it seemed to be at its greatest height it began to spread out in the air and fell to the ground. "Since that date I have on two occasions witnessed similar phenomena, not with hay, but with dust which was heaped on the roadside, and which was suddenly whirled into the air in a body, notwithstanding that there was no wind at the time. The cloud of dust remained combined until it reached a height of 30 or 40 feet. It then spread out somewhat suddenly and fell to the ground. All these incidents happened about one o'clock in the day, when the heat was great. The hay lifted in the air would weigh several hundredweights." Not Always Two Sides A writer in the Atlantic directs needed attention to a statement that is made as many times by as many people, perhaps, as any other, and always with a trust in its wisdom so undeserved as to be truly pathetic. Two persons get into a discussion on some subject, and after a while the chances are that the one of them with the weaker cause or the less ability to support it will try to close the argument by saying, "Oh, well, there are two sides to every question." Then the other, if he happens to be tired of the debate, or to hold its subject of no vital importance, will admit the assertion, with more or less of courtesy, and they part with nothing settled. Now it is not true that there are two sides to every question—not true, that is, except in the never-intended sense that there is to every question a wrong side and a right side. A few have one or two more, possibly, but to the vast majority of them there is but one side worthy of the name, for, of course, the wrong side is not a side at all, as the word in this usage is invariably understood.—New York Times. Why the Other Barrel "Speaking of the wild west," smilingly remarked Congressman Thomas B. Dunn in the lobby of a Washington hotel, "reminds me of a story about a hostelry in the sage brush country. "Some time ago," continued the congressman, "a traveler who stopped over night at the aforesaid hostelry noticed that instead of ringing a bell or sounding a gong at meal time, the proprietor went to the front door and fired a double-barreled shotgun. Later in the evening the traveler commented on the strange procedure. "That's a novel idea of yours," he smilingly remarked to the proprietor, 'calling your guests by firing a gun.' "Yaas', drawled the proprietor, 'but it generally fetches 'em around in time to say grace.' "Yes,' admitted the traveler. 'But pardon the question. Why do you discharge only one barrel?' "Wouldn't do to shoot 'em both, answered the proprietor. 'I have to keep 't other barrel to collect pay for the meals an' lodging.'"—Philadelphia Telegraph. He Lost Interest. On a murder case in one of the southern states an old mountaineer was called as witness. The defending lawyer was cross-examining him. "You say you saw this murder committed?" "Yas." "How far were you from the spot where it took place?" "Bout a quarter-mile." "What time was it when this deed was done?" "Bout half-past eight." "On the date this murder was supposed to be committed it would be almost totally dark, and you mean to say you could see distinctly what happened at that time at a quarter of a mile distant?" The old mountaineer shuffled his feet, changed his quid and stretched. "Oh, well," he said, as he started to leave the witness chair, "I don't give a gol darn about this trial, anyway."—Everybody's. Many Flowers Are Reasons Flowers of the jonquil, white hyacinth and snowdrop all possess a poisonous nature, the narcissus being also particularly deadly, so much, indeed, that to chew a small scrap of one of the bulbs may result fatally, while the juice of the leaves is an emetic. The berries of the vew have killed many persons, and it is known nowadays that it is not safe to eat many peach pits or cherry kernels at once. The lobelias are all dangerous. Lady's slipper poisons in the same manner as does poison ivy. The bulbs seem to be the most harmful. Lilies of the valley are also as much so. There is enough opium in red poppies to do mischief, and the autumn crocus, if the blossoms are chewed, causes vomiting and purging. The leaves and flowers of the oleander are deadly, and the bark of the catalpa tree is very mischievous; the water dropwort, when not in flower, resembles celery and is virulent.—Family Doctor.

Oshkosh, Wis., Sept. 26—Miss Elizabeth Douglass has been confined to her room with a severe cold. We are glad to report the young lady much improved at this writing. Mrs. Mollie Smith gave a beautiful dinner party Sunday evening in honor of Mr. M. Brown of Springfield, O. Eight courses were served and all present were glad to be there. Those present were Mme.

Claupton continues to do good work for the little mission here and he preached two able sermons. Quiet English Parish The tiny parish of Clannaborough, North Devon, England, a little village, has a population of only 42, so that baptisms, marriages and burials are not very frequent.

NO MATTER FOR PUB IN THE NOTICE MATTER FOR PUBLICATION MUST BE IN THURSDAY THE NEGRO CAN NEVER LEARN GREEK OR HEBREW Yet We Have the Black Jeb and the Greeks Often Speak of the Colored Men in Their Country —The South's Hold I. Fast Slipping Away—"We Should Worry" When We Have Such Men as Lewis and Tyle. Washington, Sept. 26.—Edward E. Resteaux, writing to the Nation's Mirror, has the following to say, "The policy of this administration is strangely, strikingly and energetically anti-Negro. Not strangely, however, when we analyze the cplexion of the president's advisers, and consider that his early environments make him in accord with those advisers. And neither is it more energetic than the policy being pursued in the very section from which his advisers come—the South." "That this policy has it view the complete elimination of the Negro from the federal service, other than as mere menials, no one conversant with affairs on the inner circles here at Washington doubts of a moment. The segregation policy is out the fore runner of elimination. "There was some surprise when Wm. H. Lewis, assistant attorney general, and Ralph Tytler, auditor for the navy, were so early selected to illustrate that to the victor belongs the apolls. Because of the admirable manner in which each had conducted a difficult office, and because of the unique positions they occupied—one 'next' to the cabinet office and the other handling the accounts of the very exclusive navy officers—it was surmised even in official circles that these two officials would be among the last to go of Negro officials. But they were the first to be let out. "A high official explained to me why Lewis and Tyler were selected to lead the van of retiring Negro officials. Said he: 'These two officials were too active in agitating representation for their race; they were too active in complaining against race discrimination in the departments. Had they been good Negroes (but he didn't say Negroes) and been content with drawing their salaries and keeping their mouths shut, and not been so interested in alleged rights of their race, they might have been retained for a few months longer. But this administration is not pro-Negro, and it has no use at all for the Negro who insists that his people shall have the same privileges in the service as white men. We don't regard the Negro as being entitled to the same privileges white employees are entitled to.' "This explains why Lewis and Tyler were early followed by white men in their positions. They were not 'good niggers.' They were too punitious about their rights and the rights of their race. In short, they erred in supposing that because they were American citizens they were entitled to the rights and privileges of American citizens." Tread Grapes With the Feet.

At time of his death his daughter, Mrs. Emma Kennedy of Chicago, had been there a week.

A good way in which to keep plants fresh without watering them when the house must be closed is to take all the plants to the cellar or some other cold place and set them in tubs, with an ordinary brick under each flower pot. Pour into the tubs just enough water to cover the bricks. It is best to place the tubs by an east window if possible. Friendly Tip to Parents.

Men Do Not Work for Wages, But for Share of Catch—240 Vessels and 6,838 People Engaged in the Business in 1912. New York.—Two recent consular reports from St. Pierre call attention to the many interesting and unique features of the French fisheries on the Newfoundland banks. This industry is more than 400 years old, and has changed but little with the progress of the centuries. The only important innovation was the substitution of light dories for the clumsy "chaloupe" in use prior to 1865. It is true that within the past five years the steam trawler has appeared as a rival, but not yet a dangerous rival, of the brig and schooner. In 1912, 240 vessels and 6,838 men engaged in the Banks fisheries constituted what is known as the "metropolitan" fleet, i.e., vessels fitted out in Normandy and Brittany. These vessels leave France in late March or early April and require from 14 to 45 days for the passage, according to wind and weather. The voyage is perilous, for the craft are very small and the methods of navigation are of the simplest. The masters of these vessels take observations for latitude, but have no chronometers and cannot determine their longitude with any accuracy. On the outward journey they can tell roughly from soundings when they have arrived at the Banks; returning they can estimate their position when they cross the steamer lanes converging toward the English channel. Besides the metropolitan fleet, a certain number of vessels (40 in 1912) are fitted out in the colony of St. Pierre and Miquelon and manned with Normans and Bretons, who come out in the spring on a steamer chartered for the purpose and return to France at the end of the season. Formerly these men made the journey in nailing vessels, which were often dangerously crowded. The combined fleet in 1912 numbered 7,500 fishermen. The fishermen do not work for wages, but for a share in the catch. THE STREETS OF BERLIN Street In Quaint St. Pierre. Before they leave France they receive an advance payment, varying from $75 to $150, to be deducted from their future earnings. If, as not infrequently happens, a man's share at the end of the season is not sufficient to cover the amount advanced to him, the owner of the vessel loses the difference, and the man himself comes home with empty pockets. The fisherman's total earnings in seven months of hard labor and exposure probably do not average more than $150. Strangely enough, the man appear to be content with their lot, and all the reforms that have been effected toward improving their wages and the conditions under which they labor have been initiated by naval officers, administrative officials, enlightened shipowners, and persons engaged in the Societe des Oeuvres du Mer. "GRIZZLY BEAR" OLD GREEK French Historian Derives It From an Ancient Sacrificial Dance Performed in Athens. Paris—Much attention is being given to a remarkable article by Leon La Parge, the historian, tracing the descent of the "grizzly bear" dance from an ancient Greek "bear dance" solemnly performed in Athens every five years. It is said to have come originally from the city of Brauron, one of the twelve towns of the Ionian Confederation, and to have been instituted in honor of the goddess Artemis to appease her wrath on account of a pet she-bear of hers, which was accidentally killed by a young girl devotee. The dance was performed in the spring by the young girls of Athens, dressed in saffron robes and carrying palm branches, who on the appointed day mounted the Acropolis, followed by their parents leading goats for the sacristice. There, to the sound of sacred bymus the girls, some times disguised as bears, danced around the image of the goddess, imitating the steps and movements of the sacred she-bear—dancing "the grizzly bear," in fact. This discovery of the illustrious lineage of a dance thought to be of American origin, is causing people to regard it with increased respect and interest. It is now hoped that records of the turkey trot may be found in Egyptian inscriptions, or of the bunny-hug among the brick tablets of Assyria. Catch Poundmaster's Dog Tarrytown, N. Y.-The joke was on William Martin, poundmaster, when George Heike, a dog catcher, caught Martin's pet dog, took it to the pound and killed it. Martin's dog had been allowed to run free, although there is a quarantine in force here. Remarkable Phenomenon That Is Said to Have Been Witnessed by Party of Scotsmen. A strange phenomenon, said to have been seen by a party of people walking on the Stratth blame road, close to the Glasgow Corporation's Mugdock reservoir, Milgavle, is reported with all seriousness and circumstance by the Glasgow (Scotland) Herald. "They witnessed," say the Herald, "the remarkable sight of a rick of hay, weighing some hundredweights, rising in the air in front of them. "When it had reached a certain altitude the stack burst, and the hay was blown in all directions. There was nothing in the atmospheric conditions or on the spot to indicate the reason for the strange happening." Noticing an account of the incident in the Glasgow Evening Times, Mr. John Mucklejack, manager of Conderligg colliery, Larkhall, writes to that paper describing a similar incident in a hayfield adjacent to the colliery office. "The farmer, Mr. Struthers, Alexander Kidd, and others were standing at the smithy door about 1:15 p. m. The heat was very great at the time and there was no wind. Strange to say, without any visible warning a coll of hay was suddenly taken up into the air in a whirling manner to a height of probably 400 feet or thereby. Just when it seemed to be at its greatest height it began to spread out in the air and fell to the ground. "Since that date I have on two occasions witnessed similar phenomena, not with hay, but with dust which was heaped on the roadside, and which was suddenly whirled into the air in a body, notwithstanding that there was no wind at the time. The cloud of dust remained combined until it reached a height of 30 or 40 feet. It then spread out somewhat suddenly and fell to the ground. All these incidents happened about one o'clock in the day, when the heat was great. The hay lifted in the air would weigh several hundredweights." Not Always Two Sides A writer in the Atlantic directs needed attention to a statement that is made as many times by as many people, perhaps, as any other, and always with a trust in its wisdom so undeserved as to be truly pathetic. Two persons get into a discussion on some subject, and after a while the chances are that the one of them with the weaker cause or the less ability to support it will try to close the argument by saying, "Oh, well, there are two sides to every question." Then the other, if he happens to be tired of the debate, or to hold its subject of no vital importance, will admit the assertion, with more or less of courtesy, and they part with nothing settled. Now it is not true that there are two sides to every question—not true, that is, except in the never-intended sense that there is to every question a wrong side and a right side. A few have one or two more, possibly, but to the vast majority of them there is but one side worthy of the name, for, of course, the wrong side is not a side at all, as the word in this usage is invariably understood.—New York Times. Why the Other Barrel "Speaking of the wild west," smilingly remarked Congressman Thomas B. Dunn in the lobby of a Washington hotel, "reminds me of a story about a hostelry in the sage brush country. "Some time ago," continued the congressman, "a traveler who stopped over night at the aforesaid hostelry noticed that instead of ringing a bell or sounding a gong at meal time, the proprietor went to the front door and fired a double-barreled shotgun. Later in the evening the traveler commented on the strange procedure. "That's a novel idea of yours," he smilingly remarked to the proprietor, 'calling your guests by firing a gun.' "Yaas', drawled the proprietor, 'but it generally fetches 'em around in time to say grace.' "Yes,' admitted the traveler. 'But pardon the question. Why do you discharge only one barrel?' "Wouldn't do to shoot 'em both, answered the proprietor. 'I have to keep 't other barrel to collect pay for the meals an' lodging."—Philadelphia Telegraph. He Lost Interest. On a murder case in one of the southern states an old mountaineer was called as witness. The defending lawyer was cross-examining him. "You say you saw this murder committed?" "Yas." "How far were you from the spot where it took place?" "Bout a quarter-mile." "What time was it when this deed was done?" "Bout half-past eight." "On the date this murder was supposed to be committed it would be almost totally dark, and you mean to say you could see distinctly what happened at that time at a quarter of a mile distant?" The old mountaineer shuffled his feet, changed his quid and stretched. "Oh, well," he said, as he started to leave the witness chair, "I don't give a gol darn about this trial, anyway."—Everybody's. Many Flowers Are Reasons Flowers of the jonquil, white hyacinth and snowdrop all possess a poisonous nature, the narcissus being also particularly deadly, so much, indeed, that to chew a small scrap of one of the bulbs may result fatally, while the juice of the leaves is an emetic. The berries of the vew have killed many persons, and it is known nowadays that it is not safe to eat many peach pits or cherry kernels at once. The lobelias are all dangerous. Lady's slipper poisons in the same manner as does poison ivy. The bulbs seem to be the most harmful. Lilies of the valley are also as much so. There is enough opium in red poppies to do mischief, and the autumn crocus, if the blossoms are chewed, causes vomiting and purging. The leaves and flowers of the oleander are deadly, and the bark of the catalpa tree is very mischievous; the water dropwort, when not in flower, resembles celery and is virulent.—Family Doctor.

We regret to report the fact that there is more sickness in this city among the colored people than has been noted for a long time. Mrs. G. Montgomery is at Dr. Corbett's sanitarium for a slight operation. Miss Odessa Darsey has been very sick with throat trouble, but is much better. Rev. Claupton continues to do good work for the little mission here and he preached two able sermons. Quiet English Parish The tiny parish of Clannaborough, North Devon, England, a little village, has a population of only 42, so that baptisms, marriages and burials are not very frequent. The other week the first marriage ceremony for 15 years took place, but even then the couple were not parishioners, the bride coming from St. Austell, the bridegroom, whose home is at Exmouth, being the rector's brother-in-law.

COLORADO POCKET BILLIARD PARLOR THE SCENE. Best Games of Pocket Billiards Ever Seen in This City—Crowds Jam the Place—Victor Greeted with Cheers, as He Comes from Behind. By Young. The Pensacola Kid, better known in private life as Mr. Paul Wyer, billiard champion of the south, lost an exciting match to Jesse (Foots) Nelson, champion of the north. Mr Nelson is well known in this city and throughout the north and was packed heavily by his admirers. The match was for a purse of $25 and it attracted so many that they were way out on the sidewalk, many stopping to ask who was in the lead, and move on, for the possibilities of getting in were slim because those fortunes that were on the inside were not willing to surrender their coveted positions for seeing the game, as it has grown so exciting. In 'the first night's match which started at eight o'clock Tuesday night, the Colorado Billard Parker, 3130 State street, was crowded. Mr. Wyer jumped in the lead in the third inning when he made a run of 29 but his opponent came on with 25 and the crowd broke loose with a ground of applause. Wyer then proceded and collected 21 more. The crowd's enthusiasm was again aroused, for Nelson came back and made 32, his last shot being one of the most difficult and putting him in the lead. The next two innings saw Nelson till in the lead, for by some clever work he was able to make 13, then 16, and Wyler had to be content with a lowly 4. Everything seemed to look like it was M. Mr. J. C. Marshall, Prop. going to be Nelson all the way, but he suddenly took a reversal in form and Wyler surprised everyone by making a total of 62 in the seventh frame that took the nerve of Nelson. Wyler's grand total for the night's play was 150 to Nelson's 127, the match being for 300 points, 150 each night. The news quickly spread over town that the southern champion had defeated the northern and many still had confidence that Nelson would overcome the lead and be the winner. Wednesday night ended with a smile on the face of Nelson, for he had beaten "the hardest player in the city." Nelson's total for that night was 173, and Wyler made 107, losing the match. Mr. Brown Chenault was the referee. Martin Phillips challenges the winner of the match between Jesse (Foots) Nelson and Paul Wyer (Pensacola Kid). The place where the contest was held is known as the Colorado Pocket Billiard Parlor. Mr. J. C. Marshall, whose cut appears in this column, is the proprietor. It is constantly attended by representative young men who love the innocent sport. He has eight tables and has the largest and most up-to-date parlor on the South Side.

Buckley seems to think that his man can beat Langford because the Boston idol has not had what he thinks long enough to train. They went on with their advertising, despite the fact that the commission had not made its final ruling. The New York Globe seems to discredit Buckley, although they say that they hope his knowledge is better than theirs. In other words they haven't got over the licking that Johnson gave Jeffries and hoped that Smith would beat Langford and even up things. We think that in ruling the bout off the commission just saved Smith a fine trimming. Furthermore, the mixed bout rule is just a discrion against the dark brother for.

The Kind Heated Women of Color Who Gave Him Drink When Thirsty or Bread to Eat When Hungry Did a Thing Our Government Has Never Done for Its Colored Citizens. (Special to the Defender.) St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 24:—Arthur Weaver has risen from a rag picker to a philanthropist. He was discovered in a ten cent lodging house. When informed he had become the heir to a fortune he leaped and jumped like a "bouncing baby." Just the small sum of $200,000 was left him by his sister. Mr. Weaver is a white man with a white heart. He has a brother in Bethalto, Ill. The estate was equally divided. A few days ago Arthur Weaver received as his share $72,000 and the $128,000 in government bonds. His very first act was to write a check for $4,500 to a colored woman who had once given him a cup of black coffee and red him a meal when "white folks" turned their back on him. Instead of wining and dining new friends he is helping those of his former class by leading them in a flock to a restaurant and feeding them.

South Side Boys the First to Organize. Roy Scouts No. 1 of Chicago are the oldest and first organized, and not the Evanston Scouts, as was published some weeks ago. The Chicago Scouts were organized May 30, 1911, by major Stephen J. Horde, Chief Scoutmaster. The Scouts are making an excellent record as drillers and have as their competitors the West Side Scouts. MR. T. T. DYSON RECOVERING. Most the entire summer Mr. Dyson, 3443 Armour Ace. 32d degree Mason, had been suffering with his eyes, under the care of a specialist. When seen on Wednesday at 35th and Dearborn Sts., he told our reported his eyes were so good he could see through a needle's eye a mile away. "But what kind of a needle Sir Dyson?" He said, "Read the Bible and you will see." He did and found it to be a big gate, go by that he said, SPARKS FROM THE RAIL Winston's Spicy Gossip of Men and Events in the Railroad World. By John R. Winston. A COLORED MAN'S FRIEND. Appointed Superintendent of the Eastern Division of the Chicago Great Western Railroad Company. By John R. Winston. In presenting the name of Hon. T. A. Sweeney to the readers of The Chicago Defender it is with pleasure, because the writer knows his worth and merit. He is a young man of push; that is, always with the people. In his position he knows no race or color. His is the duty of fair play to all.

Being one of the best young railroad men in this section he has the ability and with his desire to be and do good he can only be just with all. I need not say that he should have higher honors and a bigger place, because it is the comment of every citizen and railroad man, not alone in his home city, but throughout the country, and it is the wish of the writer. Now I want to see if your heart is on the right side, colored railroad men. Call at the new Northwestern Cafe and see John R. Winston and P. D. Campbell, 4546 State street.

At the National Independent League's Meeting in Boston Great Speeches Were Made and Many Well Founded Points Were Brought Out In the Great Cradle of Liberty—Boston. Boston, Mass., Sept. 26, 1918. — At the closing executive session of the National Independent Political League Sept. 18, the following officers were elected: President, Rev. Byron Gunner, New York; Vice-Presidents, Wm. D. Johnson, Mass., Francis H. Warren, Michigan, Prof. B. B. Church, N. C., W. F. S. Cook, Maryland, C. E. Eentley, Illinois, W. T. M. Grant, Louisiana; Rec. Sec. J. L. Johnson, Ohio; Cor. Sec., Wm. Monroe Trotter, Mass.; Asst. Rec. Sec., Mrs. Etta F. Hunter, Mass.; Treasurer, Thomas Walker, Washington, D. C.; National Organizer, Rev. R. C. Ransom, New York; Asst. Organizer, W. L. Hayes, West Virginia; Financial Secy., Dr. Wm. A. Sinclair, Penn; Chaplain, Rev. Harvey Johnson, Maryland; Sergeant-at-arms, Wesley J. Furlong, Massachusetts. Today a copy of the public memorial to President Wilson, setting forth the faith in the personal word of Mr. Wilson before election, that he would "execute justice with liberality, etc.," and stating that if he did not intervene to stop Color segregation in the Departments he would dishonor his own word, was mailed to the President. A copy was also sent to him of the Address to the Country, calling for good faith by the administration with the Colored voters whose support was sought by the party last fall and calling upon all Americans to oppose the injustice to Colored people in the way of denial of civil rights, Jim-Crowism and color segregation in the South; attempts at denial of civil rights in the North, all federal segregation, color disfranchisement in the South and lynching. Colored Americans are urged to resist color oppression. The memorial and resolutions declare that refusal to appoint Colored men to office and a continuance of color segregation at Washington would constitute peril by the Democratic party, whose national committee under Secretary McAdoo regularly campaigned for the Colored vote, and personal dishonor by President Wilson, who gave his written promise of friendly treatment before election. The League cannot believe these policies will be continued. It is up to Northern Democrats who claimed it was safe to vote Democratic. The League voted to send Mr. W. Monroe Trotter of Boston, its secretary, as a delegate for the national petition against the color segregation in the departments which already has several thousand signers to President Wilson and to defy his expenses, President Byron Gunner, who has been delegated by the interdenominational council of Colored ministers of the greater New York City to protest to the President in their behalf, and three others. The Convention held three successful public meetings in Faneuil Hall Monday night, Palm Garden, Tuesday night, and 12th Baptist church Wednesday night. TRUE REFORMERS Holding Session at Richmond, Va.—Many Notables Present. (Special to the Defender.) Richmond, Va., Sept. 26. — The Grand Fountain of True Reformers opened its 33rd annual session here this week. There are 700 delegates attending from 27 States in the Union. Mr. T. Bailey, chief of the Chicago, is here and has a healthy report to make. Welcome addresses were the features of the first day's meeting. The city has on its "gay attire" in honor of its visiting hosts. ST. LOUIS SMOKE INVEN- TION IN CITY Mr. W. A. Thomas, formerly of Chicago, now of St. Louis, is in the city on business of the Thomas Smoker Batting Co. of St. Louis, where he is president and inventor of the compound. Mr. Thomas has been demonstrating his compound for the past two weeks at Hotel La Salle and has met with great success. To give some idea of the value of Mr. Thomas' compound the statistics of Chicago show that the damage done by smoke is seventeen million dollars a year. Mr. Thomas has met all the high officials and business men of the city, demonstrating his compound to them, and has won complete success. Chicago capitalists have made Mr. Thomas an offer of $100,000 for the Chicago end of it. Mr. Thomas expects to return home Saturday morning, leaving his local agency in the hands of Mr. Wm. Lee Holman, 33 East 31st street, with whom he has been stopping since his sojourn in the city. He has demonstrated before the Blackstone, Western Union, Hotel La Salle and Edison Co. With this new compound slake is used instead of Pocahontas. Chief smoke inspector tried to catch him up on mathematical problems on carbonizing the effect of his compound. Mr. Thomas answered the questions without any hesitation and then propounded questions to the smoke inspector which he had not answered when the reporter left, some time afterward. GREEN'S AUTO DELIVERY SMASHED BY CAR Charles Mapp, 3410 Wabash avenue, delivery man for C. H. Green, 3122 State street, the shoe polish man's auto wagon, was run into by a 31st street car at Wabash avenue on Wednesday. The car was demolished and the chauffeur was badly hurt about head and face. The Defender reporter was passing and yelled to the driver to stop but it was: too late. The street car caught him in the middle of the track and chute to shreds. BEHIND THE FLEET REINDEER Traveling in Lapland, According to Description, Is Something of a Strenuous Occupation. Concerning the experience one undergoes while travelling in a Lapland sledge a writer says: "The Laplander's pulka is a very curious conveyance; it is a canoe-shaped wooden sledge and very difficult to manipulate. Before a Lapp can take a drive the reindeer has to be caught. Harnessing is a strenuous performance, as the creature is usually wild with fright and plunges and kicks considerably. His harness consists of a belt made of the skin of some former brother or friend, one rein, which is fastened around his nose, and the pulka is attached and drawn by means of a single trace. They evidently find it a very difficult task to drive; in fact, the reindeer always appears to go where, when and how he pleases. The Lapp hangs on to the poor, unfortunate animal's neck while his passenger scrambles in. This is generally a somewhat hasty performance, and usually only half performed when, with a wild whoop, the little Lapp hurls himself on to the front of the sledge, the reindeer makes a wild plunge and the mad rush begins. "In and but the poor, wild creature dashes, as if to free himself from the hindering incumbrance which continually chafes him, first on one side and then on the other. If driver and passenger are skillful in the art of toboganing, and manage to remain in the pulka, the reindeer soon decides that his burden is not to be got rid of, and he settles down into a more or less steady stride, and then the sensation is delightful and like nothing else on earth. They are very fleet animals and appear to fly; their feet, being somewhat after the pattern of the camel, splay out on the snow and thus they are enabled to travel at great speed and tremendous distances without fatigue. "Owing to its shape, the pulka is very liable to upset, even with expert driving, and when the accident occurs the driver has to be very careful not to let the one rein go, or else woe betide him. Away goes the reindeer and sledge and nothing will stop him till he reaches his herd, while, should the unfortunate driver find himself far from his companions, there is nothing for him to do but face starvation and a frozen grave amid the snow. Accidents like these are quite usual, but it has not occurred to the Lapp to alter either the method of harnessing or driving or the shape of the sledge." Woman and Color Schemes. At the linen counter: A pretty, pink cheeked girl came up, greatly excited at the thought of a new linen dress. An older person was with her. "There, dearle. This lavender would be so becoming to you, with your hair and complexion." "But it fades so quickly," lamented `dearle.` "And have white embroidered collar and cuffs," continued the friend, without noticing the interruption. "How many yards, dearle?" And she ordered six yards of an ugly lavender which was far more suited to dearle's grandmother. They had no sooner disappeared than a flighty looking woman, well past forty, appeared and went into raptures over some sky pink. "Such a darling shade!` Just matches my color." To the clerk: "Don't you think this awfully becoming to me?" The clerk cheerfully lied, and she ordered eight yards and walked off, looking very proud of herself. "Isn't it dreadful?" asked a sweet looking woman awaiting her change. "And what a pity there is no one to stop women from committing such color crimes!" Poorly-Coached Witness. On one occasion a case was being tried in the district court of Barber county, Kansas. The attorney for the plaintiff wanted to create sympathy for his client with the jury, which happened to be made up largely of ex-Union soldiers. "Mr. Jones," said the attorney when his client had taken the witness stand, "I believe that you were a soldier for some time during the late war?" "Yes, sir," answered the witness. "I soldiered for nearly four years in that war." The attorney just let it go at that. When it came to cross-examination, the opposing attorney did not get much satisfaction out of the witness, and was just on the point of letting him go when it occurred to him to ask one more question: "You said that you soldiered for nearly four years. Which army were you in, Mr. Jones?" Jones hesitated for a minute and then answered in a low tone of voice: "The Southern army." Buttermilk Fountain. A buttermilk fountain that resembles the type of fountains used with bottled spring water has been designed by a New York man. The ice chamber is almost exactly the same, having a receptacle in the center into which the buttermilk flows, when a jar is placed over it, and a space surrounding for ice. The spigot, however, is unusually large, so the flow of the liquid will not be impeded, and so that it may be easily cleaned. The jar containing the buttermilk is of a special type, with an agitating device running through it and operated by a handle at the top. By revolving this agitator a few times, or moving it up and down, the buttermilk will be sufficiently stirred. This same apparatus may also be used for sweet milk or cream, where agitation is desirable. Appearances Decelve A man lay grooming and writhing by the wayside, when up dashed a constable and proceeded to investigate, but all he could get out of the sufferer was: "I ate one, too—I ate one, too," and he puzzled but not for long. "Poison!" was his diagnosis, and, mindful of his training, he at once procured an emetic, which simply electrified the recipient. Between convulsions he managed to ask the reason for such treatment, and on his being told, and asked what it was he had eaten, he became more abusive. "What did I eat?" yelled he. "Why, you idiot. '1812' is the number of the r that knocked me down!" This Combination Solves Your Cooking Problem Kitchen Heating Problem Garbage Problem BOWMAN HAIR POMADE Printer's Slight Error. An organist had drawn up the order of a Sunday service, and it was in type ready for printing when the death of an important personage made a change necessary. The organist telephoned to the printer and instructed him to change the postlude to "Funeral March by Chopin." This is what he found at the end of the list when he arrived at the church: "A few remarks by Chopin."

You simply set a "Composite" range—and a Garbage-Burning-Kitchen-Heater side by side. As the illustration shows, these two modern appliances are built to work together and to occupy very little space. With the "Composite" range itself, you can cook the different foods that make up a dinner, all at once with one fire burning. With a little 15 x 16 inch heater installed alongside the range, you can keep your kitchen warm and comfortable in the coldest winter weather.

By Shriners' Ceremonial Committee. Arabic Temple No. 44, A. E. A. O. of the Mystic Shrine, is preparing to conduct the largest class of novices in its history across the hot sands. One day a certain number of men were filled with a desire to be numbered with those that were wont to adorn themselves with glad smiles and red fez. So they got together and said, "Lo, we will journey to the oasis, where those sons of the desert are gathered together, and join them." The men wont down in their jeans and, lo, they brought forth the dough, and presented themselves to the recorder and said to him: "Whoof! Whooof! We are the BIG NOISR." Now the recorder smiled not, neither did he speak until he had separated the men from their wads. When he had done so the recorder waxed wroth and swore by the beard of his fathers, and said to the man: "Nay, nay, Pauline; you are not a big noise. Behold, you are meat. Be not high-minded and, above all things, get not so gay." And then the recorder set them apart with the other meat in the icebox, where they will stay until October 1, when they will be warmed up on the hot sands. After they are branded and rido our goat and go through several other stunts, including biting their own ear off and drinking camel's milk, then they will be a big noise. 1991 The ceremonial will begin with a street parade, with the nobles in full Arabian costumes. After this the degree will be conferred on these poor sons of the desert, followed by a banquet. The route of the parade is as follows: Form at the Union Masonic temple at 8 p.m.; north on State street to Thirty-eighth street; cast a Thirty-eighth street to Wabash avenue; north on Wabash avenue to Twenty-ninth street; west on Twenty-ninth street to State Street; south on State street to the Masonic Temple. Then business will pick up. Out-of-town visitors will be here from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Indianapolis and many other cities. The committee on arrangements consists of the following nobles: G. L. Chambers, W. W. Johnson, M. B. Duncan, R. J. B. Ellington, Henry Sterrett, D. S. Johnson, Robert Ford, George H. H. Johnson, C. R. Jones and M. F. Coley, chairman, assisted by the other nobles of Arabic Temple. They have been working overtime to make this ceremonial a success. The parade will be something never before seen on the streets of Chicago. Watch and remember the date, October 1, 1912.—C. R. Jones. CLUBS AND SOCIETIE By Mrs. K. J. Bills. VOLUNTEER WORKERS' CLUB.

Government Will Throw Open Reservation in Montana Soon You Are an American Citizen and You Should Have Some of This Land-Do Not Let the European Peasanty Get All of It-Go Out and See and Get Some of It for Your Children. When It Is All Farmed It Will Add About Twenty Millions More Bushels of Grain to Country's Yield—It Does Not Matter Whether You Live in the South or In China, Your Fathers Died In All of the Battles of America and You and Yours Should Get the Land. Butte, Mont., Sept. 19.—[Special.] —In connection with the settlement of the Fort Peck Indian reservation which will be thrown open this fall, it is interesting to forecast the probable future of this immense tract of fertile land, now in the infancy of its agricultural development. With the opening of this reservation over 8,000 citizens will follow the sage advice of Horace Greeley to the young men of his generation and go west to grow up with the country. Approximately 1,345,000 acres will be thrown open to settlement, an area twice as large as the state of Rhode Island and a veritable empire on a small scale. Each settler is entitled to 160 acres of land, making 8,400 farms to be distributed. Allowing four members to a family this will increase the population of Montana by over 22,000 people. Statistics show that every person on the farm supports an average of two people in the towns and cities and it is fair to assume that the territory contiguous to the reservation will benefit to this extent, which brings the grand total up to 65,000 people. Prof. Thomas Shaw, the noted agricultural expert, estimates that when this land is cultivated it will contribute 20,000,000 more bushels of grain to the nation's annual production. The two principal crops grown on the reservation at the present time are wheat, which runs from twenty to twenty-five bushels to the acre, and oats, from sixty to eighty-five bushels to the acre. Prof. Shaw estimates that this land will produce 8,406,200 bushels of wheat and 5,380,000 bushels of oats per year. At the present market quotations, 85 cents a bushel for wheat and 70 cents a bushel for oats, this would make a grand total of over 411,000,000 for these crops alone. These rough estimates will give some idea of the prosperous future which awaits this section of the great state of Montana. Half a dozen modern townsites have already been located by the government at points along the main trans-continental line of the Great Northern Railway, which runs through the Fort Peck reservation for over ninety miles.

The tables were beautifully decorated and a two-course dinner was served. There were services at both churches last Sunday, and Mrs. S. D. Brown addressed the Progressive Sunday Club. The Ladies' Lyceum Culture Club added Mrs. T. H. Parrish of Oak Park, ill, as one of their members. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kohoe and Mrs. Cobb and Mrs. Drew attended the conference in Evanston. Rev. R.

Still Fear Francis Drake Sir Francis Drake's name still Inspires terror in Central America. Traveling in Mexico in 1994, Edward Smith records that he "heard a woman calming a tempestuous child by saying: "Ahl viene Drake!" (Here comes Drake!) I made minute inquiries and found that it is a common threat to children on the Mexican coast, like unto 'Bony will get you!' or, The Black Douglas shall get you! Fancy people still living in terror of seeing Drake's topsails on the horizon." Height of Stinginess. Many a "good fellow" is so stingy with his family that he'll stand between his wife and a show window. Judge. A girl is not necessarily cut for a prima donna just because she is hard to manage. ARE YOU HAPPY? A weak man is never happy; a happy man is never weak.—W. Bass ALONG THE NORTH SHORE THE CHICAGO DEFENDER LAKE FOREST Lake Forest, Sept. 26—The progressive Literary began its meetings for the season last Friday night with a large attendance. The young people seem to be displaying much interest. Several new members were added to the number. Mr. Jno. Warren, who is full of energy, zeal and determination and has the courage to express his conviction at all times, delivered the opening address. Mr. Warren urged the Literary to continue its good work, asked that the young people take courage from tonight. Always look to the bright side; it is not case but effort, not facility but difficulty that makes men. There is perhaps no station in life in which difficulties do not have to be encountered and overcome before any decided measure of success can be achieved. Those difficulties are, however, our best instructors, as our mistakes often form our best experience. At this place Mr. Warren thought he had taken up enough time, but there were loud cries of, "Go on." We are proud of Mr. Warren, as he is a thorough worker, a man of rare endowments, and wins by acknowledged merit. Mr. James Laddell, who met with an accident the first of the week by falling into a hole by the side of a walk on Spruce avenue and cutting his foot, is much improved at this writing and is able to wear his shoe again. Mrs. Alice Brown of Rogers Park attended the services at the First Baptist Church Sunday. Mr. William Marshall, a former employee of the Lake Forest wagon works, a blacksmith by trade, has invented a steam truck engine constructed for self transportation with a wood saw attachment. Mr. Marshall spent about three years on the truck at old times. He left Lake Forest a few days ago for the winter, to do work with his truck. Miss Gertrude E. Fleming, who was taken to the Providence Hospital in Chicago, is much improved at this writing. Mr. Benjamin Rice of this city has been very sick at his home on Illinois avenue. Mrs. Jno. Sherrod, who has been spending a few weeks in St. Paul, has returned home after a very pleasant stay. Mrs. Ell Hart has given up her apartment at the Vepond Hotel and is expected to leave the latter part of the week. Mrs. Hart will be greatly missed by all. She is a Christian woman and church worker. Mr. J. D. Clarke, editor of the Milwaukee Weekly Defender, stopped over in Lake Forest Saturday evening to spend a few hours with E. L. Shaughter. Mr. Clarke is on his way to Philadelphia, acting as a delegate, and expects to visit many cities on business while away. Miss Deallia Ward is expected to leave for her home in Atlanta, Ga. about the latter part of October. Friends of Miss Ward regret very much to learn of her leaving Lake Forest, as she will be greatly missed both in church work and the Literary Circle. Prof. McGirk of Philadelphia gave a grand recital at the First Baptist Church Tuesday evening to a large audience. Every one enjoyed themselves to the highest. CITY OF EVANSTON. Evanston, Ill., Sept. 21.—The Chicago annual conference has passed into history and as your correspondent predicted sometime ago the unanimous verdict of all is that it was the very best session it has held since its organization. Rev. Horace S. Graves, the lamented pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, pledged the conferences at its session in Galesburg that if Evanston were selected that it would excel in its treatment of the members and present a smaller bill of expense than any other previous session. He did not answer the roll call of the Chicago conference; he answered the roll call in glory; but his pledge was fulfilled by Rev. A. N. Webb, whom Bishop B. F. Lee appointed to fill out his unexpired term, his faithful wife, officers, and other loyal members of the church. Rev. H. E. Stewart of Chicago was assigned by Bishop Lee to the pastorate of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church. Rev. Stewart has the reputation of being a profound scholar, a true Christian and an ideal pastor. Evanson is a university city. It is fitting, therefore, that a man of the doctor's ability should be given this charge. Other denominations here recognize this fact and have selected their ablest men to fill their pulpits. Mrs. J. E. Webb entertained at dinner last Friday Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Carey of Chicago, Dr. and Mrs. B. U. Taylor of Des Moines, la; Mr. Swan of Chicago, Dr. Ferriebe of Glencoe, Ill., and Dr. T. M. Reeves of Chicago. Prof. and Mrs. W. W. Flesher entertained at dinner last Saturday Dr. A. J. Carey and daughter, Dr. J. C. Caldwell, secretary Christian Endeavor League, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary of Church Extension, Washington, D. C.; Dr. J. Frank McDonnall, editor of Western C. Recorder, Kansas City, Mo., and Dr. Smythe, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Chicago. Miss Gervais Saunders, 1920 Abury avenue, who has been living here for the past two months, will leave Saturday for Harrisburg, Pa., where she will spend a three weeks' visit with relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Stewart entertained at dinner last Friday Dr. H. E. Stewart, wife and son, all of Chicago; also Presiding Elder G. E. Jackson of Wankegan, Ill., and Presiding Elder T. W. Lewis, Minneapolis, Minn. Mrs. Horace F. Graves entertained at dinner in her beautiful home on Mrs. H. T. Jones of St. Paul, Minn.; Mrs. Butler and Rev. and Mrs. B. U. Taylor of Des Moines, Ia. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel J. Cannon entertained at dinner last Friday Bishop B. F. Lee of Wilberforce, O.; Dr. John T. Jenifer, A. J. Carey, H. E. Stewart, W. D. Cook, T. M. Resves, R. E. Wilson, N. J. McCracken of Chicago; Miss Lee, daughter of Bishop Lee; Rev. Allen of Detroit, Mich.; Rev. T. C. Devlin of Maywood, Ill.; Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Woods of Milwaukee, Wis.; Prof. and Mrs. W. W. Fisher, Rev. L. J. Phillips of Gary, Ind.; Rev. H. Gantt of Montreal, Canada; Dr. G. H. Woodson of Wilberforce, O.; Mrs. Lena George of Kenilworth; Rev. A. N. Webb and Dr. J. C. Caldwell, secretary Christian Endeavor League, Nashville, Teen. Mrs. T. E. White of 623 Grove street entertained at dinner Sunday Mrs. Fokus of Burlington, Ia.; Rev. M. I. Gordon of Ottumwa, Ia., her exporter; Rev. W. A. Searcy of Montmouth, Ill., and Rev. William Williams of Galesburg, Ill., her expassador, who officiated at her marriage twenty-five years ago. Mr. Carlos White and Miss Pearl Walden were quietly married at the home of his slater, Mrs. C. C. Brady, a few weeks ago. Presiding Elder G. E. Jackson of Waukegan officiated. Mr. and Mrs. White are highly connected and the entire community wishes them a happy and prosperous life. Mrs. Charles Leen of 1924 Asbury avenue is a constant reader of The Chicago Defender, a worthy example of loyalty to race enterprise, active member of the Second Baptist Church and a good industrious citizen. Mrs. Anna Marshall says "it is a real deprivation when she does not get The Defender." Such women as Mrs. Marshall are the ones who make possible the maintenance of Negro businesses. Dr. Roy M. Young never fails to send for his Defender. This popular and efficient dentist is daily growing deeper into public confidence, which is as it should be, for he is certainly equipped for the work of his chosen profession. The concert at Ebenczer A. M. E. Church, given by the F. E. W., K. of P. Band, assisted by Messrs. A. L. Jones, Geo. Jones, Mrs. Mayme Pressley Wilson and Misses Emily and Clarence Smith last Saturday evening was high class in every respect. The officers of this splendid institution are F. E. White, president; R. A. Hadley, secretary; W. E. Gosette, director, and Irving Smith, treasurer. NEW HOPE C. M. E. CHURCH. 1948 West Railroad Ave.—Rev. Wm. Y. Bell, Pastor. At the Sunday school hour an enthusiastic class of children were present and listened attentively to a very timely address by Rev. L. H. Owens of the A. M. E. Church. We were favored with ministers of the A. M. E. conference at both services. Rev. L. H. Owens filled the pulpit at the morning service and delivered a "burning message" that seemed to touch every heart present. Rev. Rufus Cobb preached to us at the evening service from the text, "How can I go to my father without the lad." His was indeed a message of "thought and inspiration." A "storm" blew into the home of our pastor, Rev. William Y. Bell, last week. It was caused by a body of members of the church. They brought with them many varieties of groceries, for which the pastor was very grateful. Miss Arnetta Danner of Chicago, the district president of the Thomas Home Missionary Society, was out last week and organized a local society. The following officers were elected: Miss Elizabeth Rhoden, president; Mrs. Mamie L. Bryson, secretary; Mrs. Wilhemine Grant, recording secretary; Mrs. Anna Smith, treasurer. We look forward to a future for this society. The fourth quarterly meeting will be held Sunday. Rev. J. A. Winters, the popular P. E., will be with us and we are anticipating big crowds and good services, featured by good preaching all day. Come and spend the day. Persevering Chinamen There are oil and salt wells in China more than 2,000 feet deep that have been drilled through solid rock by hand with the most primitive tools. Daily Reminder.
