MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE O.K.'S THEATRE JIM CROW RULE A Fearless, HONEST CHAMPION of the People VOLUME VIII. NUMBER 41. MUNICIPAL JUDGE EDWARD T. WADE IN HIS WHOLE DUTY TO Refuses to Enforce State Law Against "Jin zens—Discharges Defendant Manager or inal Charges of Discrimination—Refuses to Make a Defense or Deny Charges—Ho Cottage Grove Have Taken Advantage, a ored Citizens. Refuses to Enforce State Law Against "Jim Crowing" Colored Citizens—Discharges Defendant Manager of Theater on two Criminal Charges of Discrimination—Refuses to Even Require Him to Make a Defense or Deny Charges—Houses at Thirty-ninth and Cottage Grove Have Taken Advantage, and Are Scegregating Colored Citizens. FAIR PLAY IS ALL WE ASK. Citizens Who Are Law-Abiding Should M Letters to Alderman in Their Ward and You Cannot Hurt Their Business as All Same Law—If You Buy a Ticket for the You Get It—Do Not Let the Bouncer B and Your Wife into the Gallery—You Azen as the Italian Emigrant That Arrive member Your Brother or Uncle or You Killed at Fort Pillar, or Made That Despurg. Citizens Who Are Law-Abiding Should Make a Kick by Sending Letters to Alderman in Their Ward and to Chief McWeeny—You Cannot Hurt Their Business as All Houses Are Under the Same Law—If You Buy a Ticket for the Main Floor See That You Get It—Do Not Let the Bouncer Bluff You and Lead You and Your Wife into the Gallery—You Are Just as Much a Citizen as the Italian Emigrant That Arrived Here Yesterday—Remember Your Brother or Uncle or You Have Been Wounded or Killed at Fort Pillar, or Made That Desperate Charge at Gettysburg. At least one judge of the municipal court of Chicago thinks and acts his belief that it is O. K. to "Jim Crow" colored people in public places. There are others! He is Edward T. Wade, now sitting at the branch municipal court, Thirty-fifth and Halsted streets. Some weeks since Mr. Robert Anderson and wife, respected citizens and taxpayers, living on East Thirty-fourth place near Rhodes avenue, went to the "Monarch Theater," so called—a fitting name, the result of their visit shows—located at 461 East Thirty-first street, near Rhodes avenue. HAND THIS BOQUET, PLEASE, TO THE DAN BROTHERS 18-20 West 29th Street, Between State and Dearborn Streets. This is a sure enough bouquet, and not a paid for advertisement; put that in your pipe and smoke it! Now listen. One of the complaints some times made of The Defender by This is a sure enough bouquet, and not a paid for advertisement; put that in your pipe and smoke it! Now, listen. One of the complaints sometimes made of The Defender by chicken livered colored people—too cowardly to demand their rights—or a certain class of white business "hogs" too mean and small to employ colored help, while getting rich through Negro patronage—is, that it speaks too plain, uses language too rough and savage in running down and exposing the "hogs" referred to above and other business "crooks," throughout the "Black Belt." Such complains, from such sources are absolutely beneath our notice. We shall keep on exposing the white (?) business "hog." showing him up without selecting our words, and shall also continue to disregard the fear of chicken livered "niggers," who are of the kind, that in slavery days told the "white folks" whenever one of their companions planned to get away to Canada. The seats in this place are not reserved, and persons are at liberty, if white, to take a seat on the main floor or balcony; but not if you are colored, it was shown. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, having paid the admission fee of 5 cents, walked in and were told "Upstairs." To this they paid no attention. They seated themselves on the main floor, which was scarcely half filled. They were approached by the manager and "bouncer"—Louis Zimmerman he proved to be when he was later arrested—and ordered, threatened and insultingly told to go "upstairs or get out." This action was repeated and in so disorderly a manner that the attention of the people was attracted to them and the pictures almost stopped showing. Finally Mr. Anderson and his wife had to leave, as "hoodlum" friends of the manager became threatening and boisterous. To return to the bouquet proposition. There is a business firm in the Black Belt, known as the Dan Brothers, grocers and market men, who, for something over ten years, have been located at 18 and 20 29th street, between State and Dearborn, and who, in the opinion of The Defender, richly deserves many bouquets for the record they have made, and are continuing to make. A reporter of The Defender, who had heard much of their well stocked and conducted establishment, and especially their reasonable prices, took occasion to verify the many praiseful things said of the firm, and, while on his quest, not only learned that all that had been said was true, their prices, for fairness and lowness—especially for meats—not being excelled anywhere in Chicago, but he learned, much to his surprise and pleasure, that this deserving firm employed, not some colored help, but All Colored Help. As they left they were told if they ever again returned they would be "thrown out." The first day that the defendant appeared the case was, at his instance, continued by Judge Wade. On Tuesday, September 23, Hon. J. Gray Lucas appeared for the prosecution and proceeded to prove the above facts, and also that the "bouncer" told the Andersons that "this theater is for our patrons, and not for such as you; and if you can't sit where you are told, get out or we'll throw you out." Judge at once sustained a motion by defendant's attorney, who is said to be the owner of the "Monarch Theater," to dismiss the case, the demeanor of the court (rather of Judge Wade) having been that of utter contempt of the case and the treatment accorded the Andersons, although the statement is plain. Judge Wade held, in a word, that this was not discrimination and would have then and there dismissed the case, not having required even a denial on the part of Zimmerman; but after a heated passage of words, in which Attorney Lucas stated that such a ruling had not been made in the state of Illinois for more than forty years, and requested a continuance to produce the decisions, the court reluctantly consented. The court, however, said that he (Mr. Lucas) should have brought his authorities; to which Mr. Lucas replied that he could not foresee that the court would need decisions on a matter so plain as it appeared under the laws of Illinois. Can you beat it? Sure not; but, how many firms do you know of, not only in Chicago, but anywhere, that equals this record? The two young colored men referred to are Elmer Cosby and Ira Venable, and they have had their positions not for a few months, but several years. Reliable, prompt, trustworthy, thoroughly qualified, they are esteemed by their employers, and are a credit to our race. The firm, Messrs. Dan, informed our reporter they were frequently left in sole charge of the store and business, and upon no occasion came up lacking—were always O. K. On last Friday, the 26th, the case was called after all others had been heard. Mr. Lucas brought the books with a decision of the supreme court of the United States and two decisions of the supreme court of Illinois, but to no purpose. Judge Wade would not hear them, and treated the case with the utmost contempt and without considering the cases, or permit the reading of them, dismissed the case, although he had continued it for that purpose. He even refused to permit the entering of a nole, so that some other judges might take them up, and "throw the case out of court," as the manager threatened to do to the Andersons. The intention of the court to dismiss was so well known that bets were offered by white habitues of the court that such would be the result. There are others on the bench like Wade, who disgrace their position and violate their oaths of office. Wife: Where were you last night? Hubby: I had to sit up with a dead member of my lodge. Wife: What's his name? Hubby: Jack Dick. Wife: Is he dead? Hubby: Not now; he slept it off. ```markdown ``` The Chicago Defender. HAND THIS BOQUET, PLEASE, HAND THIS BOQUET, PLEASE, TO THE DAN BROTHERS; 18-20 West 29th Street, Between State and Dearborn Streets. These are the reasons for The Defender's bouquet, and—we wonder—ought we to apologise for it? Ought we to apologise when we call for three cheers and a bumper for the grocery of the Dan Brothers and the colored clerks of the Dan Brothers? We think not, and we will not. Should we apologise and ask pardon of business "hogs" and "crooks," or "chicken livered colored people afraid to demand their rights," when we respectfully recommend this fine business firm of real white men—white in soul as well as skin—to the consideration and support of all the people? Trade with them—take them a bouquet—they are worthy of it. PRINTER CHOOSES MEDICINE. Likes Medicine Better Than Printers' Ink. Mr. C. J. Humes, a printer who has been at the National Baptist Publishing House, Nashville, Tenn., and prior to that was an editor at Wagner, Okla., is in the city and has matriculated at the P. and S. Medical College. While here he expects to work at his trade while attending school. CHICAGO, IL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1912. SUFFRAGE LEAGUE. Holds Tenth Annual Meeting—John J. Mitchel, Jr., Principal Speaker. (Special to the Defender.) Providence, R. L. Oct. 10.—Amid enthusiasm that kept an audience which crowded the Ebenezene Baptist Church on A street until after midnight listening to eloquent addresses by John Mitchell of Richmond, Va., a delegate to the bankers' convention in Boston, and Mayor J. H. Gainer of this city, the tenth annual meeting of the New England Suffrage League came to a close with an address to the country in which the attempted segregation of colored clerks at Washington was denounced, and the politicians were notified that opposition to it would be the test of friendship from now on. The league declared it a reflection upon the United States that members of a class who had given their lives in every war in defence of the flag should be under the necessity of protesting against race discrimination in the fifteenth anniversary year of its emancipation. The national petition movement to President Wilson to stop the color segregation under his cabinet officers was endorsed and several hundred signatures were secured from the audience. The league addressed a letter to the country, stating the race had not lost faith in the sense of fair play of the best American citizens, and urged that all insulting discrimination at Washington be checked. THE 9TH CALVARY, THAT'S 'NOUGH. Washington, D. C., Oct. 10.—The Tenth Cavalry's arrival in Washington was the occasion of a splendid reception given them at the Convention hall by the Colored citizens of Washington. The great hall was filled with an admiring and enthusiastic crowd of citizens, anxious to honor the boys in blue. During their stay here, and they have been quartered at Fort Myer, just out from Washington on the street car line, they have attracted much attention because of their splendid military bearing, physical make-up, and the excellent manner in which they have conducted themselves. No Colored citizen had reason to be ashamed of the appearance of this famous cavalry regiment. It has just been learned, on reliable authority, that recently one of the new white bureau chiefs in the treasury department, who hales from the far west where colorphobia is not pronounced, recommended two very meritorious Negro clerks in his bureau for promotion, and a Colored messenger who had taken and passed the clerks' promotion examination for promotion to clerkship, but the recommendations were turned down by the assistant secretary of the treasury on the grounds that promotions of Negroes, under this administration, could not be made, no matter how efficient and deserving. The segregation policy, apparently, is here to stay as long as this administration remains. It is reported, on inner circles, that a proposition is under consideration to make the register of the treasury's office an exclusively Negro bureau, with the exception of the register, who is an alleged Choctow Indian, but more white than Indian, by transferring the few white clerks in it out and transferring Negro clerks from other bureaus there in their places. RACE MEN FORM MINING COMPANY (Special to The Defender.) Tucson, Ariz., Oct. 10.—Eight Colored men, with George W. Miller, have organized a mining company, located 65 miles west of Tucson, which is the nearest shipping point. It is thought that a railroad would be run through this point, running to California. Engineers and surveyors are flocking here and the district owned by Colored people is thought to be valuable. The company has bright chances to become wealthy and only need more money to push the work. An effort will be made to organize companies in the large cities, one of the principal cities being Chicago. The miners of this company would like to have race men take an interest in the matter. Information can be received by writing George W. Miller, care Pinkey Watson, Elks Club, Tucson, Artiz. RACE QUESTION. Discussed in Church of England—"Whites as well as Blacks Need Discipline," Says Sir Oliver Newton. Southampton, England, Oct. 3.—Some very startling utterances were made here on racial and international questions at a meeting held at the Church of England. Sir Sidney Oliver, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the remarkable claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and a differentiation theory. He said "the solution of the difficulty involves the discipline of the white man as well as the black man." PRESIDENTS' NIGHT APPOMATTOX CLUB Former President of Appomattox Club Wins First Prize—Barnes and McGown Win Other Two. Last Saturday night was "Presidents' Night" at the famous Appomattox Club. All the dignitaries were present and the ex-presidents were out in high glee. It was a memorable night for good fellowship. The crack whist players of the city are said to be members of this the foremost social Frank L. Hamilton Pres. Appomattox Club. club for men in the country. Ex-Presidents Wright, Moseley, Emanuel, Jackson, Anderson and Cowan were there to display their knowledge of Hoyle. Prof. Emanuel had charge of the evening. He always preaches punctuality, but on this occasion the "chunky fessor" did not show up until late. He was fined $100 and costs. Tables were arranged, time counted, and they were off. They went lap after lap, the bell was sounded for the last one, and when they passed under the wire W. R. Cowan was first, Dr. Asa Barnes second and Dave McGowan third. James Woodard received honorable mention for winning six points. President Cowan was awarded a taxicab ride, a bottle of champagne was given to Dr. Barnes and some good old Kentucky to Mr. Manson. This last was the boozy prize and "Dave" chuckled with joy. Some youngsters had the nerve to get in the race. There was "Bill" Adams, the tailor, who never received a point, and June Webb played so badly that they threatened to carry him down in the cellar for a stretch out on the pool table. Mr. Hudson was in the "also rans" of no points. The members claim it was one of the jolliest meetings of the year. PROMINENT SOCIETY WOMEN GO TO NIGHT SCHOOL. Take Up High Branches at Wendell- Philipps—Dr. Wilberforce Taking French. The Defender reporter, always "on the job," took a look in at Wendell-Phillips High on Tuesday night and there he saw a number of very fine women taking up various courses in French, Spanish, English, history, cooking and millinery. Just at a glance we recognized Mrs. A. Wilberforce Williams, Mrs. Harry Boger, Mrs. E. S. Miller and others. GREAT DIAMOND ROBBERY Mr. and Mrs. Ogburn Robbed When Asleep. While taking a night's sleep at their home, 6041 St. Lawrence avenue, Mr. and Mrs. Dojenius Ogburn were robbed. The robber came in the midnight, took a diamond watch and chain, $5.00 in money from Mr. Ogburn's trousers and sixty-eight cents from his wife's mesh bag. They were astounded when found they were relieved of their valuables. He told a Defender reporter he would be awake when the next robber came. NO SMOKER FOR TRAIN MEN. R. R. Men's Banquet Postponed. The Railroad Men's Benevolent Association, with headquarters at 35th and State street, postponed their banquet from-Oct. 9, which was to have been at Odd Fellows Hall, until a future date. The officers of the club were out of the city on the evening of the 9th inst. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION Senator Clapp of Minnesota Highly Commended. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 10—On last Tuesday evening the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by the citizens of Minnesota under the auspices of the Appeal, was held with much elat. There was a large crowd and everything was just as grand as grand could. J. Q. Adams offered a motion that a committee of seven be appointed to draft a resolution representing the sentiments of the audience. The committee was on motion increased to nine, which the chairman appointed as follows: W. R. Morris, J. Louis Ervin, W. T. Francis, Chas. S. Smith, Rev. G. W. Camp, W. F. Chandler, J. Q. Adams, Mrs. J. R. White, Mrs. Valdo Turner. Senator Clapp was commended for introducing a resolution which will investigate the discrimination in the departments of the nation's capital. EPISCOPAL CHURCH EYES OPENING They Will Discuss — and We Hope Not to End in Discussion—the Topic of Giving the Negro a Chance in All Avenues of Life and Let the World See That America is Just as Civilized as France, Germany or England. (Special to The Defender.) New York City, Oct. 10.—The general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, which began its sessions here Wednesday, will have many of its able thinkers and orators speak on the work of the Negro. The meeting is being held at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and the attendance is very large, quite an interest being manifested in the monster massmeeting to be held Sunday evening, October 19. Under the auspices of the American Church Institute for Negroes addresses will be made by members of the congress who have given much time and study to the political, social and religious welfare of the Negro. Bishop Clandel Kinloch Nelson of Atlanta, Ga., and Bishop Thomas F. Gallor of Tennessee will make the principal addresses. Bishop Greer of New York, Talcott Williams, director of the Columbia School of Journalism, and George Foster Peabody will speak. The music of the services will be rendered by six Negro choirs. METHODIST MINISTERS Protest Against Racial Segregation at Washington. At the regular meeting of the Methodist Ministers' Association of Chicago, composed of 20 ministers and representing a membership and attendance of about 30,000 persons, the following protest against Jimcrowism by the government was offered by Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., pastor of the Institutional Church, where the meeting was held, and was unanimously adopted. The Methodist Ministers' Association of Chicago protests against the segregation of government employees by race and color as is now being carried out in some of the departments at Washington. We also protest against the enactment of any laws inimical in any way to the rights of the Afro-American people. (Special to The Defender.) Baltimore, Md., Oct. 10—Stafford Robinson, who lives at 824 Hanover street, has received threats by the united order of gunmen to move within the next twenty-four hours. Robinson took the matter to the police and requested them to guard his house. Letters written in red ink, decorated with bombs, daggers and pistols, have not phased the brave Negro, and he intends to die protecting his life and family, and there are more such Robinsons here. P. O. Boy Catches Charming Girl. Miss Grace Lee, one of the most popular girls in Chicago, was quietly married on last Sunday to Mr. James P. Stevens, of the Chicago postoffice (main), at the home of her aunt, Mrs A. Morgan, 3427 Dearborn street. Miss Lee's brother was the best man. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens went right to housekeeping at 3132 Vernon avenue and will be at home to their friends Oct. 12. By Waldo Baston. Jinks: Is this where you live, John? John: No; this is where my wife lives. I simply exist here. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON FURTHER SAYS ON OUR TREATMENT As Is Often the Case, I Find That in My Recent Address Before the National Baptist Convention in Nashville I Omitted the Most Important Part. May I Take Advantage of Your Generosity to State That Which I Meant to Have Said in Nashville? It Is This: Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Oct. 10, 1913. Our race suffers immensely because of the constant repetition in the daily press of Negro crime and misfortune. In most cases when any member of our race is mentioned in the daily press it is usually because of some crime committed against that individual, or because of crime committed directly or indirectly by that individual. We should seek to overcome this hurtful influence by having in every community an organized effort in churches, business leagues and social and literary organizations that shall have for its object putting into the daily press accounts of the progress of our people in material, educational, religious and social directions. Some individual should be appointed in every community whose duty it is to give to the white press day by day and week by week in concrete, readable form the news concerning our race that indicates our progress in constructive directions. This will overcome the hurtful influence of the constant repetition of news relating alone to Negro crime. I am convinced that the daily press in the majority of cases publishes criminal news because of the absence of something better. We cannot rely upon the reporters of the daily press to get this news, we must prepare it and give it directly to the papers ourselves. In all my experience in connection with the public press, I have never seen a case where a meeting of a Negro organization was so well and widely reported as was true of the National Baptist Convention recently held in Nashville. Each of the three daily papers in Nashville had a colored reporter present at all the sessions of the convention, and these colored reporters were given all the space in the newspapers that they wanted, in some cases four and five columns were printed for them. In this regard due credit should be given to the colored men who are making a business of reporting the proceedings of colored organizations. Due credit should be given to that persistent and worthy band of young colored men who have worked themselves up to the point where they have been designated as regular and paid reporters on the daily press. We should have such a reporter on every daily newspaper or we should have some one whose duty it is to keep before the public the best that occurs in our race. All this will help immensely to change public opinion. (Signed) Booker T. Washington. ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS LOYAL TO RACE Mr. Wm. L. O'Connell, our able County Treasurer, who was campaign manager for our friend his honor, Governor Edward F. Dunne. It was at the request of Mr. O'Connell that the governor appointed John J. Smith as deputy fish and game warden, a member of our race, who for 21 years has been an urgent advocate of the HON. W. L. O'Connell. division of the Colored vote, and has himself been a consistent upholder and leader of the cause; and his appointment meets with the hearty approval of the Colored People, and the Colored Democrats especially. The fact of Mr. O'Connell's selecting Mr. Smith as one of the state game officers, thereby recognizing the Colored Democrats, makes it very plain that the Colored man can make himself useful and an appreciated factor in any political organization, and we believe that our State Administration, through its various branches under the leadership of our worthy governor, Hon. Edward F. Dunne, and our popular and able young county treasurer, Wm. L. O'Connell, will be able to convince us the Colored People of Illinois, both state, county and city, that we are not living in an age of tradition but condition, and all that we have to do is "make good." Mrs. William H. Weller was united in marriage to Mr. M. A. Pierson of New York City Oct. 1F, Rev. John F. Thomas officiating. THE WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER HOW RULE NGTON FURTHER IN OUR TREATMENT in My Recent Address Before the Nashville I Omitted the Most Im- dvantage of Your Generosity to save Said in Nashville? It Is This: THE OLD CARTER SCHOOL An Attempt of Separation In the School at 68th and Wabash Avenue —White People as Well as Colored to Fight the Effort. The old Carter School and its many annexes at 61st and Wabash avenue for years has served as a school for the territory between 55th, 61st, South Park and Wentworth avenue, and all children attended it. Last fall the school board purchased a site and built a school at 58th and Wabash avenue. The district superintendent then began a system by which he or she thought the colored children could be separated and sent to the Sherwood School at 57th and Princeton avenue, seven blocks away. Knowing that a great many colored children live on Lafayette and Grove avenues between 55th and 59th, they divided the district at State street west, 56th street north and 60th street south. They seemingly didn't take into consideration the many white people that lived along State street, nor did they consider the many colored children that live on Wabash avenue, so by dividing at State they thought all the colored children would have to go to the Sherwood School, and a very few white children would be affected; and that few could be compelled to send their children seven blocks to school, and would not enter a protest; while the colored people murmured, they bowed in humble submission to the will of the prejudiced board, and began sending their children to the Sherwood School, seven blocks away, but not so with the white people. They refused to send their children, and the school board is making attempt to force them to obey. The order may be tested in court, and they will have the hearty co-operation of the colored people. Such action on the part of the school officials is an outrage on the people, some of which live at or near 55th and State street and can see their children enter the school on Wabash avenue. When the protest was filed, they were told they could send their children to the old school, but not to the school within 350 feet of their homes. The board possibly does not know that a large percentage of the property on Lafayette and Wabash avenue is owned by colored people. Possibly they are not aware that a vast majority of the children who attend the new school are tenants who come and go and the race is a permanent resident of the school district. This condition of school affairs may have been brought about by the pernicious influences of the Hyde Park Protective Association or it may come from a prejudiced school official. Wherever it comes from let them assure themselves that they have a lawsuit on their hands if they attempt to enforce this plan of separate schools in Chicago. These outrages and unjust discrimination will not be tolerated or submitted to without a hearing in court. Someone is responsible for this discrimination which affects the race of the 6th and 31st Wards and if something is not done by spring, the effects of it will be felt by someone. Not only that, it increases race prejudice, to gerrymand the school districts in this manner. The race must defend itself, and it has joined hands with the white brother in fighting such actions, whether by the school board or any other source. We are now discriminated against on juries and in many other places in national, state and city politics, and now this attempt in the public schools; it is time that he organized for his own protection. There is no better time to start, than now. MRS. WALLACE TAKES SUDDENLY ILL. State Street Hair Dresser Takes III at Store. Mrs. Wallace, the well known State street hair dresser, was taken suddenly ill Thursday morning at her place of business and had to be taken home. Mrs. America Brown, daughter of Mrs. Wallace, was sent for a quick summons called a physicist, found that Mrs. Wallace had been paralytic stroke. The Defender later arrived on the scene and upon inquiry found that the quick call of the doctor prevented the case from being serious. With excellent medical attention, Mrs. Wa- lace was doing nicely last evening. The best way to keep a woman love is to love to keep her—Wal' Baston. RAISES $3,962 ON NEW CHURCH FUND As Their Gift for Their Twenty- fifth Anniversary—Everybody Gave, Even the Children— Friends from Far and Near Send in Their Donations— Money Still Coming in—Dr. Jackson Jubilant, Members Happy, Children Rolling with Joy. New Church Almost Assured—All Money's to Be Paid In Within a Year —Church Clubs and Societies Active—All Kinds of Entertainment's to Be Given During the Coming Year to Raise the Amount to $50,000 —Great Activity Seen in All Branches of Church. The Grace Presbyterian Church concluded the celebration of its twenty-fifth anniversary last Sunday afternoon. The celebration opened with a reunion and reception Wednesday evening, Oct. 1. Mrs. Horace Brouston read a paper which she called "Just a Chat," rehearsing many interesting facts connected with the history of the church from the beginning, twenty-five years ago. The paper was altogether enlightening and clearly revealed Mrs. Brouston's splendid literary gifts. It will be published in a booklet later. An unusually fine lot of addresses were made by the speakers who followed, and Miss Minnie L. Barnes and Miss Maud J. Roberts never sang better than they did then. After the exercises in the audience room all who would repaired to the lecture room and were served with dainty refreshments and went home happy, after half an hour's or an hour's social chat. Thursday evening there was a conference between the men of the church and Dr. E. P. Hill, the superintendent of the Church Extension Board, and preparations were made for the rally Sunday afternoon. Friday evening the Sunday school held a meeting at which Miss Smith of the Boston Conservatory, Mrs. Henry Sloan and others sang most delightfully, and the former superintendents of the school spoke, relating their various and interesting experiences. The names of these superintendents, in the order of their service, are: Mr. Horace B. Cooper, Mr. Joseph W. Moore, Dr. Edward S. Miller, Mr. Stuart D. Fowler, Mr. Albert B. George, Willie Woodford Allen and Mr. Charles W. Pierce. Mr. Fowler was not present and Mr. Pierce did not speak, except to introduce the others. Refreshments were served to all who would in the lecture room at the close of the program. Sunday morning Rev. Jackson, the pastor, preached the anniversary sermon from Zachariah 8:9: "Let your hands be strong . . . that the temple might be built." It was a strong argument for attempting to secure a better church building in a more suitable location. But the main part of the celebration was in the afternoon. At 3:30 p. m, a service was held at which Dr. W. C. Covert, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, preached an eloquent sermon on prayer. Then Dr. Hill was introduced and in a brief and timely address approached the subject of the hour, namely, a jubilee offering for a fund towards the securing of another house of worship.

Mrs. Lucy Rider Meyer, head of the Chicago Deaconess Training School, will deliver a very interesting address Sunday evening at 8 p. m. The public generally is urged to attend this service. Something really worth while will be said. Tomorrow morning the pastor will preach at 10:45. The choir will render choice music. The financial committee, headed by Mr. Morris Lewis, is now at work evolving a financial plan whereby all the obligations of every department may be easily met. This committee will report on Monday night. Sunday, October 26, will be our first quarterly meeting day for this conference year, and the pastor and officers have already begun planning to make it an occasion truly great. Rev. Smyth, our new pastor, preached an eloquent sermon last Sunday morning. Mrs. Shelby Kempt will write the notes for Bethel Church and will also sell the Defender. MRS. KEMPT HONORED. Mr. and Mrs. Shelby Kempt gave their mother, Mrs. Eva Raymore, a surprise birthday party Monday evening, October 6, at Bethel Church. The dining rooms were beautifully decorated with American beauty roses, and the tables also. About two hundred persons were present. The officers, both men and women, were certainly loyal; and Sister Mary Robinson, Sister Champion and Sister Williams needed great praises for their kindness toward Mrs. Raymore, who is president of the Deaconess Board. Mrs. Raymore received many valuable presents, among which was a cut glass bowl, some silver pieces and two lovely sets of dishes from the Mothers' Circle, and a beautiful bouquet of American beauty roses. Mrs. Raymore wishes to thank her many friends for their kindness. Miss Dick Manly also needs due praise for her beautiful floral decorations. Miss Naomi Raymore made her mother a present of a magnificent cake. On top of it was the word "Mother" in large white and pink candy letters. Bethel choir rendered some of their most beautiful anthems. Miss Hunt never played more beautifully for the choir. The menu was: Bouillon, chicken salad, rolls, coffee, ice cream, cake, salted almonds and a variety of candy. Two of the caterers were in full dress. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH. Regular services every Sunday at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Sunday school at 1 p. m. B. Y. P. U. at 7 p. m. Prayer meet, Wednesday evening. Rev. D. H. Harris is back, and had charge of the pupil Sunday, and in the evening made a splendid report of the national Baptist convention. Rev. Harris comes home feeling fresh and ready for another year's work. The choir will render the Messiah October 20 and November 6. OCTOBER 6. December 6. The fourth Sunday in the month is the quarterly rally. MT. MARIAH BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. T. T. Pope and his members are very jubilant over the rally that is now in progress. Quite a large sum was realized in the rally, and the name of each contributor will be published next week. This congregation is laboring weekly to leave their present quarters and go into a church of their own. With the spirit of God and faith of Rev. Pope, and the loyal backing of his members, they will not fail. Last Sunday Rev. Pope preached an able sermon, and tomorrow another special sermon will be delivered. Hear him. Good singing. HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES. The pastor, Dr. C. Lee Jefferson, preached upon the subject "Christian Desertion in the Church." The Sabbath school was well attended, and several new scholars were enrolled. The C. E. was led by L. Brumfield and was addressed by Mr. Frank Lowery of St. John's C. E. Society. Owing to several of the leaders and the choir participating in the anniversary service of the Louise Training School, the Englewood Lyceum exercises were postponed last week. Mrs. A. Clark and Mr. P. Dowd on Ada street are on the slick list. Mrs. H. Grammar gave a puzzle social for the rally fund of Hope Church Thursday evening. QUINN CHAPEL CHURCH. Rev. Anderson, our new pastor, will preach Sunday. Everybody is pleased with him and his wife. Rev. William D. Cook made his report, which was very creditable. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Corner Thirty-eighth Street and.Dearborn Avenue—Rev. H. J. Callis, Pastor. The special features of our services on last Sunday were of a high order. Dr. Fisher of Olivet Baptist Church delivered a very excellent discourse at 3 o'clock. Several members of his church were in the audience and assisted materially in the collection, which was set aside for the benefit of the November rally. The evening service, at which Mr. Messer, the general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Chicago, delivered his *blendid* address on "World-wide Brotherhood," was the crowning event of the day. The house was taxed to its utmost capacity. The boys' orchestra from the Wabash Avenue department of the Y. M. C. A. made an excellent appearance and was of great assistance in the service. The solo of Mr. Reese, entitled "The Prodigal Son," was greatly enjoyed by all, Mr. Messer's address will linger in the minds of all who were fortunate enough to hear him. It had a splendid effect. Mr. Tucker, the secretary of the Wabash Avenue department of the Y. M. C. A., made a short talk, in which he spoke of the splendid success attending the work in this new department. He asked for the co-operation of all Christian workers, in helping to develop Christian character in the young men of the race. The anniversary week for our church begins Sunday, November 2, and will have its opening entertainment on Monday evening, November 3. A grand concert has been arranged under the direction of Theodore P. Bryant, assisted by many others of equally noted talent. Our pastor left the city on Friday for an extended trip through the state of New York. Dr. Callis will visit Rochester, Auburn, Ithaca, Syracuse and Elmira, several of which are among his former charges. Mrs. Callis is accompanying our pastor. The Rev. Dr. Fenwick will occupy the pulpit on Sunday morning and evening. ST. MARK'S M. E. CHURCH. Rev. Robinson, after a delightful two weeks of rest(?) and recreation in New York City and Ningara Falls, has returned to his duties as pastor of St. Mark's, Fiftieth street and Wabash avenue. He reports a most delightful trip. While in New York he preached twice for Dr. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's, New York City. Really, we do not think our pastor could rest, in the ordinary sense of the word, where there is opportunity to speak or do for the Master or for his fellow man. St. Mark is having a series of spiritual meetings this week, and much is expected from the effort. The pastor's communion sermon was spiritual and effective. There was a goodly number of communicants. When the usual invitation was given for new members or those who wished the prayers of the church two men responded to the invitation to new members. St. Mark is steadily growing. ST. LUKE'S M. E. CHURCH. Rev. Edw. R. Lewis, Pastor. You are cordially invited to attend our services on Sunday, especially the morning service, at which time the pastor always has something interesting as well as instructive for the hearers. Immediately after the regular morning service the Sunday school begins. The attendance last Sunday was not up to the standard. The superintendent and teachers were well pleased with the review of the lesson as conducted by the pastor. Many helpful lessons were deducted. Promptly at 4 o'clock our Lyceum begins its program each Sunday evening. A very interesting program was rendered at our last meeting. Some of those who participated were asked to return soon and again gladden our hearts with their instrumental and vocal solos. The address by Attorney Porter on "Racial Ideals" was one of the best we have had since the opening of our Lyceum. The speaker gained and held the attention of his audience, and in a very forcible manner impressed his thoughts upon their minds. No race or nation can demand the attention and respect of other races and nations until they learn to appreciate those who are worthy in their own race and nation. GRACE PRESBYTERIAN. The ways and means society of Grace Presbyterian Church will meet at the residence of Mrs. Maggie White, 3253 Rhodes avenue, Monday evening, October 13, at 8 p. m. Mrs. Clara E. Studymire, president; Mrs. Martha B. Mitchell, secretary. The regular meeting of the teachers and officers of the Sunday school was held at the church Monday evening, October G. There were fourteen present. Mrs. I. B. Barnett taught the lesson. Mr. A. G. Williams will be the teacher for the next meeting. The meetings are being held the first and third Mondays of each month, and are quite instructive. Mrs. Bond, Miss Bond and Mrs. J. Hall have again been elected teachers. Mr. B. Johnson has resigned. Miss Helen Perry and Mrs. Ferribee are substitute teachers. ST. THOMAS EPISCOPAL. Father Massiah will deliver a special sermon on Sunday morning. Good music. HARPER'S POWDER. Have you used or heard of Harper's Bleach and Harper's Face Powder? Well, if not, let us say that these two cosmetics are the final word in face preparations for my people. The bleach, a perfect composition, absolutely harmless and in a simple form, is without doubt one of the best skin clarifiers on the market today, the result of a recently discovered compound which combines a bleaching and antiseptic effect upon the skin and will not irritate the most delicate complexion. Prices of bleach, 50c; face powder, 35c. We call anywhere. Drop a line to 3111 South State street. HARPER DISTRIBUTING CO. THE SURE WAY. You can always overcome evil with good by committing suicide—W. Baston. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER News Notes of the Nation's Capital By R. W. THOMPSON Washington, D. G., Oct. 10—Congressman S. A. Rodenberry, invertebrate of the Negro race, has "gone the way of all the earth." The Lord's will be done! Mr. James H. Crusoe of East Deanewood, D. C., died last Monday and was buried from the Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, Georgetown. The Oldest Inhabitants' Association, of which the deceased was a member, attended in a body, headed by J. A. Johnson, president, and James W. Muse, secretary. Will Marlon Cook, the eminent composer, of New York City, is here superintending the rehearsals of the Festival of Negro Music, soon to be held under the auspices of the Washington Conservatory of Music, of which Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall is president. Mr. Cook has won international fame as a violinist, composer, director, and stage manager, and many of his productions have scored brilliant successes on the American and European continents. Mr. Cook has a host of friends here, and all are eagerly watching for the announcement of the dates on which his festival chorus will appear. Announcement is made of the marriage of Granville C. C. Pollard of Washington, D. C., and Miss Evelyn J. Folson of Macon, Ga., at Alexandria, Va., September 29, Rev. Dr. Henderson officiating. Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, president of the Hair-Vin Chemical Company, of this city, has arranged an extended itinerary through the states of the Atlantic seaboard, to stimulate interest in the business enterprise which she represents and to encourage the Negro people to embark more generally in business pursuits. She will speak at the North Carolina state fair, to be held this month in Raleigh, and will visit Durham, Greensboro, New Berne, Charlotte and Wilmington, going later into Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. Dr. Coleman is a young woman of marked executive ability, and to her is largely due the phenomenal growth of the Washington branch of the National Negro Business League. Mrs. Rosa Pope Browne is making a fine record as assistant comparer in the office of the recorder of deeds. She is efficient and painstaking, and possesses a pleasing personality that invites the confidence, and esteem of all who come into contact with her, officially or socially. Howard University's enrollment this year has broken all previous records in its long and useful career. President Newman and Secretary Cook are the right men in the right places, and the country is with them. Dr. G. W. Buckner, minister to Liberia, is here receiving his instructions, preparatory to sailing for his post at Monrovia. A. B. Cosey of Newark, N. J., was elected president of the Progressive Democratic Association, organized at the Y. M. C. A. last Monday. W. T. Ferguson of this city was elected corresponding secretary. The local business league will hold a public meeting in connection with the Bethel Literary and Historical Association Tuesday evening, November 25. The Cefl Club of New York City will be here at the Howard Theater on the evening of November 7. James Reese Europe of this city is the director of the organization. It will draw out "society" in force. Mr. Gabe E. Parker, the new registrar of the treasury, has purchased a handsome home at 4412 Fourteenth street, Northwest, one of the new sections in the northern end of the city. It is said that the proposed "testimonial" to Manager A. J. Thomas is to be abandoned for the present, as that astute gentleman is not disposed to divide his friends for the sake of "jollying" an erstwhile foe. This course is advised by many prominent citizens who admire Mr. Thomas, and by members of the profession and the local managers, all of whom have enjoyed favors at the hands of Mr. Thomas and wish to honor him. They gag at the source from whence the project comes, and will have none of it. It is stated that more than one of the names published in a local sheet as "subscribers" were used without the authority of the persons mentioned. This is a sample of the methods employed generally by this self-constituted "leader." Hon. W. H. Clifford of the treasury department, formerly a member of the Ohio legislature, gave an elaborate dinner recently at his residence, 1944 Ninth street, in honor of Manager A. J. Thomas of the Howard Theater. Covers were laid for fifteen, and the menu was superb. The entire affair was handled in the royal style characteristic of Mr. Clifford, who is an ideal host and an all-around good fellow. Some of those present were Assistant Manager R. G. Byars, L. M. Hershaw, T. H. R. Clarke, A. O. Stafford, Col. Arthur Brooks, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley and others. Miss Clarice Jones left Monday night for Salisbury, N. C., to assume her duties as director of music at Livingstone College. Before leaving Miss Jones was tendered a charming farewell reception by her friends, all of whom join in wishing her a successful sojourn in the land of Dixie. The death of Madame Agnes J. Smallwood, which occurred last week, removes from this community a pioneer and constructive force in its earlier musical development. For years she was leading soprano in the great chorist of St. Augustine's Catholic Church, and as a teacher laid the foundation for the international reputation Washington has earned as a center of musical culture. Things are not always as black as they are reported—by some folks. A few days ago a "wildcat correspondent," posing as the representative of a number of colored newspapers which seem to delight in sensational matter, regardless of its reliability, gave out a statement that Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Williams had said to Mr. J. C. Napier that it was his intention to "demote or dismiss all of the colored clerks in the treasury department, beginning with those drawing the higher salaries and working down to those in the lower grades," or words to that effect. Mr. Napier, whose reputation for veracity is such that no question can be raised as to the truth of anything he may say, promptly denied to your correspondent that any such interview with Mr. Williams had taken place. He declared that, while he and Mr. Williams had had conversations on matters concerning the routine of the department, etc., nothing had been said on the subject of the demotion or dismissal of colored clerks, or of any other class of employees. This unequivocal statement cuts to pieces the out-giving of an irresponsible scribber on a number of papers, saying: "John Skelton Williams is now arranging to cut down or dismiss the colored clerks of the $1,800 class. It is substantiated by Mr. Williams' statement to Mr. Napier, the 'present register of the treasury." As Mr. Napier has denied that any such interview took place, the "wildcat" correspondent is left alone with his fanciful fabrication. If any of the colored clerks have been disturbed by the false alarm their disquietude may come to an end as far as the report in these papers is concerned. The same correspondent this week attempts to "square up" his fluke by alleging that the decapitation process had been "postponed" because of his alleged "exposure of the plot," and other nonsense equally as loony. MORGAN'S SALE DAY. Sale Every Monday at Mrs. R. Morgan's Millinery Store. Mrs. Rosa Morgan, who conducts the leading millinery store on the South Side, 3709 State street, will have a sale day on hats every Monday. Hats shown recently at the fall and winter opening on Miss Ada Gaines and Mine, Marie Burton-Hyram have made such a wonderful impression upon her new and old patrons and the demand has been so great for the latest styles that she has decided to have a sale day every Monday during the season. No hat leaves the store without perfect satisfaction. Motto: "Service, quality, style." Mrs. Ruth Galines of 2759 Wabash avenue has returned home from Utah, where she has been visiting her son. She will be pleased to see her many friends, and the Daughters of Tabor, Sisters of S. M. T., and Daughters of Elks. Mr. John S. Merriwether, 3753 Prairie avenue, has been quite ill for the last ten days. Dr. Dailey is the attending physician. Mrs. Garter of 1346 West Sixty-first street is very sick.

Brown, who was to appear at Hope Presbyterian Church on the 16th will not appear. Postponed until further notice. Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Hill of 6045 Loomis street are back from a delightful visit in Tennessee. Mrs. Carrie Pryor of 1346 West 61st street was called home to the bedside of her mother in Topeka, Kans. Miss Nellie Hanson, formerly of Chicago, who has been living in Oklahoma for nine years, has come back to the city. She is the sister of Mrs. L. Jordan of 6043 Loomis street. Ladies Are Honored Guests at Appomattox Club. Thursday night of this week the Appomattox Club was the host of a delightful dancing party in honor of its members, wives and friends. The commodious parlor们 were brilliantly lighted and the music were enchanting. The whole atmosphere was filled with joy as the merry couples glided over the smooth floor in terpsichorean revelry. President Hamilton and his officers served luncheon. MISS IRENE M'COY Stands High on List of 200—Appointed Clerk in County Building. S C CUT Se s..... Miss McCoy Makes High Examination Mark. Miss Irene L. M. McCoy, stenographer for the law firm of Anderson and Ward and who resides at 6328 Vincentnes avenue, quietly took the Cook County Civil Service Examination a few days ago. There were 200 in all. Oh Wednesday Miss McCoy received notice that she had not only passed but stood highest on the list. She was immediately appointed to a position as clerk in the county building. Miss McCoy is a graduate of Fisk University and won a diamond in the annual literary contest at Bethel two years ago. THE SICK LIST. DANCING PARTY.

REPUBLICANS CUTTING US OUT. | The New York state convention of the Republican party approved a plan to revise the basis of representation in national conventions. In other ‘words deprive the Negto in the South ‘of any voice in thelr deliberations ‘This Is but a natural turn of affairs for a party that has been but a wolf fn sheep's clothing. As long as thes could make use of the Negro he was juetted and coddled at election time, mark you, only at election time when he had served their purpose he was tolerated and tossed a fev jerumbs now and then to keop him fn fine until the next emergency. This has been the policy for years, in fact since emancipation, at which’ time It was deeply instilled into them that their whole existence they owed to the Republican party for taking them out of bondage. We are not unmind ful of the fact that they were our frlends in the hour of need, and we have tried to show in our humble way, our appreciation, and it must be admitted we have more than made good. ‘Today we number thousands upon thousands of intelligent think ing people; we have progressed with the times; when the split in the Re- publican party came we used our best judament In casting our vote. I we liave made a mistake time will tell, and we we not alone in our error. We liave danced to the crack of the whip too long, all the legisla- tion that they can enact will but defer our coming into our own. Because we will not let the Republican party eat up all our candy they are going to take their doll and play in their own back yard and build the fence so high around them that we cannot even see over. We can only add something Is éshhe to Sabb and handek een. HIGH COST OF LIVING. So much is being written about the high cost of living that It has had « tendeney to discourage marriages. No longer do you hear that it is as cheay to Keep two as it fs to keep one, bu rather the young man is lead to be lieve the days such as Wis father tetis about when you could keep a wife ant family comfortably on a ridiculous!; small sum a week, are passed. ‘There is mo gainsaying the fact that mer chandise of all descriptions bave gon up above the bounds of reason wher it fs considered that the wage has not kept apace. You seek for a rea son and the dealer falls back on the wholesaler, the latter on the farmer or the manufacturer whichever the case may be, and there you are nc better off than you were before Lately the government has taken a hand in it, a tari bill was passed and signed ‘by the Prestdent the other day, what will be the result, for the benefit of the housewives who are al present most concerned, we will say it will be at least threo or four years before they will derive any benefit and then from present indteations, very little.

There were Widespread reports of a scheme to segregate all colored office holders at Washington, and President Wilson was’ compelled to bear iis share of the criticism voiced throughout the country. It Is now made clear that whatever at tempts there may have been at seg. regation were made wholly without the knowledge or approval of the President. In two departments sub: ordiuate executives did resort to dis. crimination, but not even the cabinet oflicials were aware of what was be- ing done.

Goddard, state st pervisor of rural district schools in Georgia, Is to lay more stress. this year upon teaching colored children practical subjects, in other words to work more with the hands and less with the head, It is argued that such training is infinitely more valuable than the studying of grammar or geography.

Ealtor ‘The Chicago Defender: ! Some thne ago there was addressed fo ime a communeation through the corresponding secretary of one of Chl- cago’s numerous clubs composed of band of lovely women, which 1 have not been enabled to reply to earlier, in which T was asked to. state’ through The Defender what 1 deemed “The Most Important ‘Thing in Lite~and Why." Coming from such a source, amounting to a ‘command, refusal was dented me, and I herewith submit the result of my reflections. ‘Phe most important thing In ite Is health. Tn this view there fs an absolute agreement, regardless of nationality, color, religion or sect. ‘The black and the white, the Jew and Gentile, the maneater of Pategonia and the manssaver of Christendom rounding i> sovls at 0 much per—all, as one mit, one homogencous mass of struggling, breathing Insets of a summer's day, place an importance on health far above all otter appeals to their inter: ests and serfousness. “This Is the most unassailable, univers), old and yet always young truth having to do with or relating to mankind.

What ts meat for one is polson for another. Love, for instance, is so Important a factor in the affairs of men that millions havo died for it; other millions have died because of it, and still other millions are stone dead or are dying by Inches daily because of the fickleness of the Ittle blind god. Ina word, love fs beautiful, irre- sistibly so, powerful, very powerful— it moves the world—but’ are we pre: pared to vote it the most Important thing in lite? ‘The attractiveness of distinction, the usefulness of monoy, the independ: ence of power, the pleasures of home, the inspiration of hope—all are sought after and, more or less, collectively or singly, appeal to tho vision and desire of man as important, but surely not as important as health, ‘Take from mankind the Inherent quest, the continuous seoking for the way to insure health, to prolong life, and you would deny him beyond all other things his most natural and important prerequisite. The desire for health springs eternal in the hu- ‘man breast, It is the most Important of all the guests ranged about the sideboards of our secret souls, as per Dr. Williams’ valuable reflections in | The Defender. ‘Without a continuous striving to prolong life, without health, in a word, what does life amount to? Health, being life's greatest boon; it follows, as the day the night, that It is the most important thing. ‘Take “all de world an’ gib me Jesus” chants the old sanetified colored “mammy,"” and, with her eyes directed to the things beyond this vale of tears, the old "Mammy" is all set; but our quest, having to do solely with the life this side of glory, is a horse of another color. Give man ali that he seeks, all that beckons to him, love, wealth, home, the prattie of children, the charm of distinction, and the right arm and brazen front of power; give him all these, but, mark well this fact, unless you give him health you have given him nothing. Compared to {t—health —life’s greatest thing—all else, love, wealth, power, influence are but as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals, They are tales “Told by an sdlot, full of sound and fury, but slgnifying nothing.” W.

The Grand. The bill the Grand presented the first part of the week was made up entirely from one company under the guidance of Boyle Woolfolk. The company numbered some fifteen or more people and opened with a minstrel first part. It is needless to say that there were but three men, the balance of the company belonging to the fair sex. While a minstrel is a minstrel the world over, they gave a very creditable performance, the songs being well rendered and the jokes clever and up to the minute. John P. Reed is funny—there is no getting around that—and he kept the audience in an uproar all during his stunt. Arthur Caln and the Transfield Sisters played several instruments in an acceptable manner and sang one or two numbers with telling effect. They had an extra attraction in the "movie" line, the picture showing the great National Baptist Jubilee, Sept. 17th. There were scenes of Fisk University, Meharry Medical College, Booker T. Washington and many other interesting views of people and things in the Southland. It was the first time this picture has been shown here and was well worth seeing. The State. After you had witnessed the show at the State this week you really wonder if the girl in the box office made a mistake in your change or not; you find she has only taken out ten cents and you have seen fifty cents worth of performance. The pictures were by far the best and most interesting shown at this house, and the management is due a world of credit for displaying such good judgment. It was impossible to accommodate the crowds who blockaded the sidewalk in an effort to gain admittance. In the vaudeville line Ward and Clayson, rapid fire song and dance artists, came in for their share of applause. Vera Rose sang several old favorite songs passably well and made some pretty costume changes. Robinson and White were the hit of the bill; the way they put over "The Burglar Rag" was nifty; they have a nice line of 'alk and got away with a good record. Although not completed it is wonderful how much improved the acoustic properties of the house are already, and when completed it will doubtlessly be all one could wish. Don't forget Joe Jordan and his Pikin Orchestra are always on the job. You know that means good music. MARIE PEEKE MERRELL. Mrs. Marie Peeke Merrell, soprano, will assist Clarence Cameron White, violinist, in a recital at Oakland Music Hall, the coming Thursday evening, October 16, at S:15. Booker T. Washington writes: "Mrs. Merrell's voice is a rich, sympathetic quality, which touches the heart and delights the soul." THE WOMEN'S HOLIDAYS Mr. White will play his "Cradle Song" at the social and musical event of the season, October 16, at Oakland Hall. The charming Misses Naomah Bunn, Fairfax Butler, Gretchen Crowder, Kate Fowler, Vetolia Hayes, Jeannette Triplett and Emma Williams will usher at Oakland Hall October 18. Miss Fannie Wise is at the Ment Theater this week singing to packed houses. SING-TELL-PLAY CO. Intense interest is being manifested in the musical to be given by the Sing-Tell-Play Company. Madam Anita Patti Brown will be the principal singer, she being our own Diva and the acknowledged greatest soprano soloist of the race. She will be assisted by several capable artists experienced on the musical stage. The occasion will be the leading musical event of the season, and already tickets are selling fast. The date is October 23 at Bethel A. M. E. Church, and will be the first musical under the administration of Rev. Smyth. The Defender hopes it will be an artistic and financial success, and should be largely attended, it being an enterprise originating in our own city. Hear the Sing-Tell-Play Company. ROY TIBBS GOING ABROAD. Professor Roy Tibbs, a graduate of Oberlin Musical Conservatory and Fisk University, and a teacher in the musical department at Howard University, will go abroad next year. Mr. Tibbs won high honors while at Oberlin, and is making a fine teacher at Howard. His many friends here are delighted to hear of his future efforts along musical lines. Miss Thersell Riley, daughter of Mr. Will Riley of the Blinga Real Estate firm, arrived in the city last week, and has matriculated at the Chicago Conservatory, taking voice culture. Miss C. Delphia Boger has gone to Orangeburg, S. C., to teach music in the musical department of the state institution. Little Dorothy Cadozol is making rapid progress in her musical studies. Professor Dave Peyton had a little rest this week. The minstrel company carried their own musical director, and Professor Peyton had a chance to visit other theaters. A "first nighter" on the stroll writes that "we have been paying to see the same old acts and hearing the same old songs. We want something new in this city. Miss Vetolina Hays is taking musical instructions at the Chicago Conservatory, and is giving lessons to beginners herself. Mrs. Daisy Robinson Tapley, formerly of Chicago, but now of New York City, is one of the foremost dramatic teachers in the East. She has done much for the development of a high musical education among young women. She is the organizer and conducts the glee clubs of the Y. W. C. A., both of Brooklyn and New York. Thursday night of this week she appeared at the initial concert of the Orpheus Octette. The Defender is the best paper to advertise your musicals. MADAME HACKLEY AT PITTS- BURGH. Madame E. Azalia Hackley, the noted soprano singer, will give a recital at Pittsburgh, Pa., at Bethel A. M. E. Church. She will give a song recital and demonstration of her methods of voice culture. She is a most charming and interesting personality, and is thoroughly equipped in musical art. No doubt Pittsburgh will give her a royal welcome and a packed house. It was in Chicago two years ago this month that she had such a monster success at Orchestra Hall. Madame Jennie Watts-Brown of this city will give a recital at Pittsburgh October 28 at Carnegie Hall. MISS HAZEL HARRISON ABROAD. From all reports Miss Hazel Harrison of La Porte, Ind., and well known in Chicago, will remain abroad. Miss Harrison is the most noted and accomplished pianist of the race. When she finished her musical studies in this country she went abroad to study, where she made a wonderful reputation as a finished artist, taking musical instruction from the greatest instructors abroad. She returned to America and remained a short while, gave a recital here, and later went abroad. It is reported that Miss Harrison will return Thanksgiving, going to her home at La Porte, Ind., returning to Chicago, the guest of her friend, Miss Elizabeth Clark. The Defender hopes that Mr. Clarence White will have an overflowing attendance on next Thursday night at Oakland Music Hall. He is known to us all. He is an artist of ability, experienced and talented. Hear him. Dance to follow. Professor N. Clark Smith, the noted band master of Tuskegee Institute band, was elected secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Wichita, Kan. He was formerly a musician in this city, and recently came here with the Tuskegee band, playing at the Seventh Regiment Armory before 5,000 paid admissions. He has the best wishes of his many friends in the windy city. James Reese Europe and his Clet Club will make a tour of the following large cities: Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, Washington and Hampton. Mr. Hugh Buchanan, 6233 Indiana avenue, gave a recital on last Sunday afternoon in honor of a friend from the West. Mrs. Hyram, Miss Katherine Williams, Miss Irene L. McCoy and Mr. Munday were on the program. Refreshments were served. Miss Ada Overton Walker will be at the Pekin Theater for a week, beginning November 3. R.

Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Woodlee Hostesses. Tuesday evening, Sept. 30, the home of Mrs. James W. Woodlee, 3561 Rhodes avenue, was the scene of much merriment, the occasion being a farewell party given by the Lionilli Girls' Social Club in honor of the Misses Helen, Ruth and Leda Roberts, daughters of Dr. and Mrs. D. P. Roberts, former pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, who are leaving the city to make their future home in Indianapolis, Ind. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion, white and blue, the colors of the club, were everywhere to be seen. Beautiful games, interspersed with music and song, made the program for the evening, and the merry laughter of the lads and lassies was the best evidence of the enjoyable time they were having. When the doors of the dining room were opened and the mellow light of the amber dome was seen blending over the choicest delicacies the joy of the children knew no bound. After refreshments were served, Mrs. James sent a miniature gavel tastefully W. Woodlee, mother of the club, presented a miniature gavel tastefully decorated with the club's colors to Miss Ruth Roberts, the retiring president of the club. Mrs. Woodlee made a delightful speech in making the presentation and Miss Roberts, sweetly and bashfully, with a few words of thanks accepted it. The out of city guests of the evening were the Miss Olive Elnora Davis, daughter of Lieut. Davis of the Ninth Calvary, en route through the city; Master Gerald White of Brooklyn, N. Y. The local guests were the Misses Ola Fleming, Margaret Brock, Grace Thomas, Carrie Campbell, Marlon Baldwin and Minnie and Edith McDowell. The Masters Sumner Jackson, Herschel Williams, Markum Mitchell, Lee McManus, Cecil Bradshaw, Wyatt Houston, William S. Grant and William McDowell. The members of the club present were the Misses Helen, Ruth and Leda Roberts, Jessica Anderson, Jewett Eggleston, Florence Jackson, Allice Wright, Lucia V. Woodlee, Mabel Slaughter, Hazel Irvin and Mrs. James W. Woodlee, mother. Mrs. Woodlee was assisted in receiving the youthful guests by Mrs. Lena Stewart and Mrs. Gravson. Promptly at 10:30 the signal for wraps was given and waiting automobiles carried the lads and lassies with lingering memories of a most enjoyable evening.

GEORGE WILLIAMS Testimonial Benefit to Be Given for the Great Performer. The subject of this article, Mr. George Williams, who was at one time one of the most prominent Negro members of the theatrical profession, was born on the 25th of December, 1852, at St. Louis, Mo., but spent the major part of his younger days in Kansas City, where his mother died when he was still a mere child. His first experience in theatricals was gained when he doubled with Bert Grant, of Jones, Grant & Jones, the team working on amateur nights at the old Walnut and Coliseum Theaters. Grant and Williams gained such a favorable reputation that they were quickly signed by the Holliday's Famous Minstrel Company, which at that time was one of the most popular organizations on the road. And after seven years of wonderful success, they were induced to enter the variety field by the people who were in control of the best line of houses in America, and the popularity of their work is well attested to by the remarkable continuous tour from one end of the country to the other, and which covered a period of over three years. At this time Grant and Williams was the only colored team in the variety houses which have their counterpart in the vaudeville houses of the present, and without a doubt they were the wedge which made it possible for other colored performers who have gained world wide fame to enter vaudeville, through which, after all, it has been found necessary for our colored performers to gain any marked recognition. Three years of constant work with the Hicks and Sawyer Minstrels and the internationally famous W. S. Cleveland Minstrels preceded the parting of Williams with Grant, when Williams joined as one of the trio of Smart, Williams and McGowan, the latter two of whom are now deceased. Walter Smart was at the time considered the peer of all straight men of either race, and for years was leading man of the Original Smart Set Company. The trio joined with Sam. T. Jack's Creoles, playing prominent parts, and were featured in the Olio. Later Smart and Williams worked as a team and were starred for two seasons in "The Forty Thieves," and The Emma Ward Burlesque Company, working in conjunction with the great team of Ward and Vokes. Smart and Williams then worked in the largest vaudeville houses in the East and were largely instrumental in breaking all color line barriers in the theatricals, and for a period of eight years were featured as headliners in houses that played only the most popular and strongest attractions. For several years after the death of Smart, George played small time in and around New York, until his health failed to such an extent that he found it necessary to give up his work entirely, and for the past eight years he has been the ward of Syd. Perrin and his wife, formerly Goldie Crosby, both well known members of the theatrical profession. The committee in charge of the benefit is composed of Thomas McCain, Mort. Shoecraft, Joe. Shoecraft and Tony Langston, the latter having charge of the publicity department. The date for the benefit will be announced in the following issue. Dally Thought.

COOK EXCELLED ALL QUINN CHAPEL FORMER MINISTERS Read What He Has Done and You Will Agree With Our Reporters Who Interviewed the Reverend Gentleman That He Was a Gem. Rev. William D. Cook, the eloquent and able pastor of Quinn Chapel, has made his annual report to his church. Never in the history of the church has a pastor raised as much money, rendered as much service, religiously, morally and intellectually, as under the administration of Rev. Cook. Figures speak more eloquently than words. Under his pastorate there were 476 conversions, 621 accessions, preached 516 sermons, visited 831 sick, attended 237 funerals and baptized 108. He paid a total on all purposes as enumerated below, $53, $23.46. a pastor they still have him as a pre-siding elder. It is stated by many who are high in the councils of the church that the next general conference must elect a man from the Chicago district as bishop and the four years success of Dr. Cook points to him. Quinn Chapel is the only church in the city that owns its parsonage and does not have to pay $50 per month for rent. We hope that other churches will follow this example. The D. Friend hopes that the burden of paying rent will soon be lifted from the hard working class of people. This is the record of Dr. Cook. Admired and loved by all, he goes higher up in honors of the connection and is made presiding elder of the district. His services were too valuable in Chicago for him to leave, was the opnion of the bishop, and around the Windy City he will remain, it is hoped, for another four years, giving his best energy for the promotion and extension of God's kingdom. Rev. Cook's influence was not confined to the church walls. He did work among all classes. His moral fitness made his work felt. He was not a political dabber—yet he gave conscious and manly advice to his people on political questions. He could not be bought—he stood for the purity of the ballot and the integrity of the home. He believed in education that made men and women well rounded men and women of character, and, above all, Christians. In every sermon that he preached he never closed without exhorting the sinner to "Come Unto Him and He Saved." He was comforting to the Christian, he always preached a sermon that there was an everlasting kingdom for the redeemed. / While Quinn Chapel has lost him as SPARKS FROM THE RAIL Winston's Spicy Gossip of Men and Events in the Railroad World.

The program rendered at St. Mark's A. M. E. Church on Tuesday evening by the Alabama Quintette was quite classical. It was the initial opening of a number of musicals and entertainments to be given here this season. It is with much pleasure that the Negro citizens of Milwaukee welcome the young men and women who come here to take advantage of the opportunities the city affords and to further their education. Much hospitality is extended to the medical student who has lately entered within the city's gates.

No. 1, Box 22 Benton Harbor - Mich. ALONG THE NORTH SHORE THE CHICAGO DEFENDER CITY OF EVANSTON. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Evanston, Ill., Oct. 10—I know that I run the risk of bringing upon my head maledictions, but I should deem myself unfaithful to duty if I did not call attention to a fault in our young people, and that is an affection of independence and insubordination to superiors, an entire absence of reverence for the aged and of deference for those who have more wisdom and experience than themselves. Majority in old fashioned times was fixed at 21. Now it has got down to about 14. At that age it is now customary for our boys and girls to declare themselves free from parental control and set up for themselves. The boy takes possession of his father's house and uses the old people for his own convenience. He insists on having his own company, his own pursuits and his own opinions. His apparel and accommodations must be the most luxurious. He mounts his cane and his cigar and commences to be a gentleman of considerable importance. Is it possible that anything but misery and ruin can come from such a state of things? These sentiments of irreverence and habits of premature independence are not confined to the male sex. The infection has extended to all of the rising generation and they have actually crowded their seniors out of society and taken exclusive possession of the pleasant places of life. Society is not enjoyed but is absolutely unknown. For that surely ought not to be dignified by the name of society, where a company of boys and girls who had better be conning their lessons and completing their education get together to dance, giggle, chew gum and eat sweetmeats. Society is indeed a noble word when applied to an assemblage of the mature, the cultivated, the refined and courteous who come together to look on what is pleasing and dignified in human life to interchange opinions, sentiments and feelings to receive and communicate pleasure and information. This is society, and next to the more sacred and tranquil pleasure of home it is the noblest and purest enjoyment. It is a balm to the spirits lacerated and exhausted by the fatigues of labor, of study or business. It promotes friendliness and good will among men, which if not identical with the Christian religion is in unison with it. For the preciousness of our boys and girls I lay the blame of it at the door of fathers and mothers. I close with these lines, whose author to me is unknown: "Before the little fledglings leave them nest The mother bird has taught them how to fly. But human mothers fail to meet this test— And so their daughters flutter, fall, and die. While mothers teach that innocence is best, That life is fair, and blue the sunlit sky! "With dancing feet that scarcely touch the sod The Malden's joy of living sounds life's knell. How shall she learn to follow paths untroed Unguided, helpless under blinding spell? How can she guess the road that leads to God Must bridge the grim abyss 'er man-made hell?" * * * Mrs. I. N. Daniels, wife of the presiding elder, is in the city of her nativity, Oskaloosa, Ia. Two important musical entertainments are scheduled for Ebenezer A. M. E. Church during this month. We will say more about them later. Four colored students have registered thus far in the Northwestern University. It will be necessary to speak of this in the next issue of The Defender. Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., has begun a revival in the Second Baptist Church. Rev. I. A. Thomas is to be congratulated upon his ability to bring to his church and the community this learned divine. Dr. Walker is easily one of the foremost preachers in America, and the people of Evanston, irrespective of race or church, should feel honored to have in their midst this distinguished prelate. Rev. Fletcher, Mrs. Wijlman Chiles and others are planning to celebrate in their church the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the American Negro on the evening of the 16th inst. All news items for The Defender must be handed Prof. W. W. Fisher, 1911 Asbury avenue, not later than Wednesday afternoon of each week. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bailey entertained Prof. and Mrs. W. W. Fisher at luncheon last Sunday evening. Messrs. Garnett, Cannon, Twiggs, Jones, Norris, Brown, Perry, Richardson and others are making a vigorous campaign and a thorough canyass for the balance of the money necessary to erect the Emerson Street Y. M. C. A. building. A comparatively few persons who subscribed to this fund have to date failed to redeem their promise. The committee is anxious to have each one keep his pledge to demonstrate the fact that we regard our promises as a sacred and binding obligation. Miss Georgia White of Chicago, Mrs. Julia Carter of Abbeville, S. C., and Mr. W. J. Lipscomb of Detroit, Mich., visited relatives and friends during the week. Mrs. Mamie Pollard, one of the best informed women of our city, a school teacher in former days, is a constant reader and a staunch supporter of The Defender. Mr. William Pollard, her husband, is one of the most efficient clerks in the Chicago postoffice. Mr. William Cannon, proprietor of the Elmwood, not only reads The Defender himself but commends it to others. Mr. Cannon and his faithful wife have built up a splendid business, so much so that their present quarters are almost inadequate. They de- serve the support of all who want satisfactory and efficient services. Mr. J. R. Butler, the busy manager of the West Railroad Pantatorium, always finds time to read The Defender. Not only so he usually sells several copies to his customers. It is gratifying to note the rapid growth of this worthy enterprise, which promises several places in the future for prepared young men. Miss Salle Dixon, student in the Evanston High School, member of the Ebenezer A. M. E. choir, is among the young but purposeful readers of The Chicago Defender. Reverends Thomas and Fletcher have returned from the National Baptist Convention, which met in Nashville, Tenn., and report that it was the finest session in the history of this great organization. Rev. H. E. Stewart and his interesting, cultured and Christian family are now in the parsonage of the Ebenezer A. M. E. Church. The spiritual, social and intellectual life of this community is greatly enriched by their presence. Both Dr. Stewart and his wife are graduates of Wilberforce University. Hilbert is a graduate of the High of Chicago and Carlisle is a student in the High School of this city. Rev. Stewart's first concern in his new charge is the salvation of souls, and next to this he has plans under way to cancel, if possible, one-half of the indebtedness against the church in a Thanksgiving rally, agreed upon by the officials and members of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church. LAKE FOREST LAKE FOREST On Monday evening, October 6th, Miss Sarah Garner was indeed surprisingly entertained at the residence of her aunt, Mrs. George N. Smith, on Trousdale avenue. In response to a gentle knack at the door, about 8:30 o'clock, it became Mrs. Smith's pleasant duty to make welcome and bid to enter a company of lady friends waiting for entrance, who had come to pay pleasant compliments to Miss Garner on the eve of her departure for California, and to spend with her a few pleasant hours. Mr. and Mrs. Smith acted as host and hostess and indeed a jolly crowd it proved to be. The ladies came laden with the delicacies of the season and quite soon a sumptuous feast was spread. The guests who came to entertain and to be entertained were Mr. Charles Davis and wife, Mrs. Maggie Davis; Mrs. Anna Gray and Mrs. Hallie Lenoir. Other guests present were Dr. W. H. C. Stokes and Miss Sadie Bost. Miss Garner expects to leave for California Friday evening, October 10. She takes with her the best wishes of a host of friends, who wish her a pleasant journey and a happy landing under the sunny climes of the far West.

Messenger's Trip in What Is Now State of Washington, Was One of the Most Spectacular and ‘Venturesome Kind, Probably the most spectacular and perilous journey that was ever made by an express rider In the inland em- pire ts recorded in the official reports of Gov. Isaac I. Stevens. The gov- ernor and a emall party of twenty-four were near Fort Benton, Mont. in the autumn of 1855 after a summer of hard work negotiating treaties with ‘Indian tribes between the Cascade ‘mountains and the Montana plains. _ Said Stevens’ biographer: “The great tribes of the upper Col- umbfa country—the Cayuses,-Yakimas, Walla Walla, Umatillas, Palouses and all the Oregon bands down to the Dal- les the very ones who had signed the treaties at the Walla Walla council and “professed such friendship, had all brok- en out In open war.

This startling news the governor must know and W, H, Pearson was chosen to ride to Fort Benton, The trust was not misplaced, Peargon rode out of the Dalles fresh and well mounted, and riding all day and night reached Billy MeKay’s ranch on the Umatilla by daylight. The place was deserted. Lassoing’a fresh mount he saw a band of hostiles rac: ing down the hills toward the valley, and as le sprang into the saddle thay Baye fierce yells and cries of “Kill the white man!” , They pursued Aim fer many miles, ‘but he slowly drew away and at night- fall turned eff the (ruil at right angles, rode for several miles and then took a course parallel with the regular route. Riding in this strategic manner, resting a few hours in secluded covert and seeking unusual fords, Pearson reached Lapwai and after a day's rest pushed on ever the Iitter Root moun- tains, A blinding snowstorm beset him; a tree fell and crushed his Nez Perce companion and the trail was buried under several feet of new fallen snow.
