So emboltified has this man grown against his country and even against his own race that there is no light left in the world for him. All this through no fault of his own, mind you, not because of anything he has done to us, but because of what God did to him. The only right way for you to judge a man is for you to put yourself in his place. Put yourself in that man's place! The problem is not dying out—every year it increases in intensity. In 1790 there were less than 800,000 Negroes in this country; in 1860 more than four millions; today every tenth person in this republic is a Negro, and his ratio of increase during the last decade was eleven per cent. They will tell you in the South they have settled the Negro problem. They have
DR. ARCHIE SENATE
GOES TO TEXAS
Prominent and Efficient Physician Leaves Chicago
Dr. Archie S. Senate, 5122 State street, one of Chicago's most useful and popular professional men, will leave the Windy City this week for Tyler, Texas, the home of his brother, where he will live and build up a large and lucrative practice. Dr. Senate has been in Chicago for four years. During his stay here he has endcared himself into the hearts of the citizens of this city as well as his professional brothers. It has been his good fortune to be so efficient in medicine and surgery that he has on numerous occasions assisted Drs. U. G. Dailley and George Cleveland Hall in major surgical operations at Provident hospital. Dr. Senate goes well prepared to be of valuable aid to the citizens of Tyler, Texas, and while Chicago loses a fine physician and man of affairs, full of race loyalty, Texas is the gainer. His many friends wish him a world of success.
Mr. J. T. Merrilweather of 3753 Pralle avenue died Thursday at 1 o'clock of typhoid fever. He was ill only a short while. The funeral services will be held Sunday at 2 o'clock from Bethesda Baptist Church. The Foresters, of which he was a member, will turn out in a body. He leaves a wife and a host of relatives to mourn his loss.

A Fearless, HONEST CHAMPION of the People
The Future of the American Negro.
Among the many grave problems pressing upon this people there is, it seems to me, one neglected question of crying importance: How much have we freed the Negro? The other day a semi-professional concern advertised for a Negro girl cashier. There were sixty-four applications for that one position. The majority of the girls who applied had high school education—because the Negro will make the most pitiable sacrifices to give his children learning. These were neatly dressed, modest appearing and intelligent. The one who succeeded had made fifty-two other fruitfulness efforts to get a position. I do not like to let my mind follow the sixty-three unsuccessful young girls in the weary, heart-breaking search they are still pursuing; and yet, it will be demanded of these young women that, behind their dark, humiliated cheeks they keep white souls burning. To their infinite credit most of them will. This instance illustrates the attitude of the American public towards the Negro. Let a black man get work of equal rank among white brick masons, electricians, clerks, book-keepers, and what happens? Every white employee will quit the job as though the place has been covered by a pestle. There is not a great store in Chicago that dare put a Negro clerk behind its counters, no matter how competent he may be. There is not a street railway that dares to put a Negro to work on one of its cars. The everyday story of a Negro hunting a house in which to live is filled with burning humiliation and injustice. And yet, the Negro of pure African blood is rare, many of them are almost white—oppressed with white men's brains, cursed with white men's hearts, hopelessly consumed with white men's ideals and aspirations.
I ask you this afternoon to put yourselves and your families in the place of an honest, respectable Negro, with his own wife and little children. To do that you will have to crush out all the strongest yearnings and highest longings of your hearts. Then see what a dismal place you have made of it. Think for a minute that your little children, no matter how wise they may become, or how good they shall remain, must never hope for public esteem or general honor. What incentive remains behind your darkened lives? When we complain of the Negro we should remember that one cannot measure the capabilities of a race by its lowest members, but by the attainments of its very highest. We have pushed the Negro out into freedom. Free to do what? To become a porter in a saloon, or a waiter in a dining car. Which was better, the drugged contentment of the slave, or the hopeless, endless humiliation and burning subjection of the freedman? If t Negro may not use his education is a cruelty to educate him. If h n not use his freedom it was a crim to set him free. Still he has prog used wonderfully. The general socia and intellectual condition of the american Negro in the North today I vastly superior to that of the white inhabitant of any civilized county in the seventeenth century. Yet, t be generations ago he was a slave, a chattel, a thing. Notwithstanding this, it was essential to slavery that the slave should feel himself physically and mentally a slave. Generation after generation this idea was ground into his soul. Let the general community to-day unite in its estimate as to any of us, and imperceptibly we will sink or rise to the limits of that estimate. If we brutalize a man, we have no right to complain when he acts like a brute. To begin making a man respectable we must commence respecting him—to keep him honorable it is often necessary to honor him.
Do you realize that in spite of this cap there are Negro homes in and not a few of them, the actual refinement to almost man's? Have you consid- there are working in this lack men, and not a few, us professions that are the igently, and in many cases us of their competitors? best lawyers in Chicago is

CAPT. CLINT HILL'S NEW BABY.
Finds White (?) Infant in Front of Home.
Capt. Clint Hill of the 8th Regiment was returning from work the first of the week when near his home he stumbled over a basket in which was a white (?) baby. The child could not be identified and it was taken to St. Vincent's infant asylum. Some one asked if he was sure it was a white baby. "Well, suppose it is or suppose it is not?" The parties who took it are happy, and should it prove to be otherwise—well, we will have to make them keep it and let it pass, like Mr. Lee, the publisher, did."
EDITOR MONTGOMERY IN PEORIA FIGHT
To Show the Voters of That City That on Monday, Oct. 20, They Must Put Their Only Friend in That City on the Bench.
[Special to The Chicago Defender.]
Peoria, Ill., Oct. 17.—Editor R. B. Montgomery of Chicago is here doing some telling work for Judge Leslie D. Puterbaugh, who is a candidate for the Supreme Bench of the State. While here he met Hon. Mayor Woodruff, who is a very pleasant gentleman to meet and is fine Republican timber for governor. He is kind and affable and a true friend of the race. He had the pleasure of meeting Senator Dailey and the city prosecuting attorney. The city administration is with Judge Puterbaugh. Col. Smith has charge of the publicity department of Judge Puterbaugh's campaign and is much pleased with the work being done by colored newspapers on behalf of the judge. Charles A. Roberts is chairman of the campaign committee and the right man in the right place. The Rev. S. B. Jones, pastor of Wayman Chapel A. M. E. Church, has organized good workers among his congregation in the interest of Judge Puterbaugh. Rev. Murrell of the Baptist Church has decided to take an active interest in the campaign as he feels it means much to the interest of the race. There will be a thousand Defenders here Saturday to be distributed among the voters of Peoria.

THIEVES STEAL
PEANUT STAND
Madeline Stewart Is Robbed of Big Percentage.
A peanut stand that belongs to Mr. Lawrence Jones of the National Vending Company, which was standing in front of Mrs. Madeline Stewart's cigar store, 17 East Thirty-third street, was stolen on Tuesday night between the hours of 10 and 12 o'clock. Detectives were put on the case, but no trace of the money or stand has been found. Mrs. Stewart told a Defender reporter she had to sell more Defenders to make up for her big loss.

DR. DANIEL H. WILLIAMS
Given Recognition by Exclusive Millionaire Journal.
The Commercial Chronicle of Aug. 10th of this city, with a circulation of over 50,000, representing the largest financial interest of Chicago and the United States, has the following to say of our destinguished surgeon and fellow townman, Doctor Daniel Hale Williams:
"In a recent editorial one of the country's greatest journalists deplored the fact that physicians and surgeons

who have blazed the trail of modern progress were not given their full measure of praise by the people at large. Pasteur, and others, he said, had done more for humanity than Washington or Martin Luther, yet their names were unfamiliar to thousands who consider Grant and Lee as great heroes of history. Undoubtedly he was more or less right, but it is a fact that the general public is daily becoming more appreciative of the greatness of our surgical pioneers.
Chicago people should not forget that in this city is located one of the world's leading surgeons, a man who paved the way for some of the most wonderful feats of modern surgery by proving that it was possible to operate successfully upon the living human heart. We refer to Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, colored, founder of the Provident Hospital at Dearborn street and Thirty-sixth street. Dr. Williams was the first surgeon to operate upon the living human heart with complete success, sewing up the wound in the heart of a man who had been stabbed and left for dead. The man is living today, the operation having been performed in 1893.
Dr. Williams founded the Provident Hospital in 1892. This institution never would have been possible but for the doctor's own personal efforts. He solicited the funds necessary for its establishment and for many years was its chief surgeon after its great work had been begun.
Dr. Williams was born in Pennsylvania, of free parents, in 1858, coming to Wisconsin as a child. He was educated in Northwestern University. He began the practice of medicine in Chicago in 1883. He is a member of the American Medical Society, and was on the surgical staff of the Protestant Orphan asylum from 1884 to 1893. He was a member of the Illinois State Board of Health from 1884 to 1889. From 1889 to 1891 he was a member of the Cook County Hospital surgical staff. He is now on the staff of St. Luke's Hospital. For five years during the second administration of President Cleveland, Dr. Williams was surgeon-in-chief of the Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, D. C., the largest Negro hospital in the world. For a number of years he has toured the south once a year, giving clinics at southern Negro medical schools.
Dr. Williams is one of the most successful surgeons in America today and is a fine example of the self-sacrificing physician who modestly accomplishes great things for humanity. He represents American citizenship at its best.
JACK JOHNSON
CASE GOES OVER
The case of Jack Johnson, world's champion prize fighter, who is now in Paris drawing $5,000 per week, was laid over until next April by Judge Carpenter of the Federal Court. At that time the case, which is an appeal, will be called in the United States Circuit Court. Attorney Bachrach has stuck to the celebrated pugilist through thick and thin and did everything possible to free his client. The Federal Court room was packed the day the case was called by hundreds of Jack's friends, 'black and white.
To Make Decisions on "Jim Crow" Cases.
Special to the Defender.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 17. — The Supreme Court of the United States will soon be called upon to decide several cases bearing directly upon "race problems" as they exist in this country. One will decide whether Negroes may use the name "Knights of Pythias" along with whites; a second is the validity of the "grandfather clause" and the "jim crow" car law in actions coming up from the courts of Oklahoma. The decisions in these cases will have a far-reaching influence upon the future of the colored people in the entire country, as the overthrow of the constitutions carrying restrictions will affect many states and undo much vicious anti-Negro legislation. The outcome is being watched with Interest. That the fight will be a bitter one goes without the saying, as both sides are well equipped with legal talent and money.
The Supreme Court convened Monday for the fall-term.
FRANKFORT EDUCA TIONAL BULLETIN
Issued on Education of Colored Youth in Kentucky.
Special to The Defender.
Frankfort, Ky., Oct. 17. — Former Editor C. L. Timberlake of the "Voice" at Franklin, Ky., and at present employed in the office of the state superintendent of public instruction, has launched a unique book. Title "Household Ethics and Industrial Training in the Colored Schools of Kentucky." This bulletin is highly endorsed by the state superintendent of the educational department, Prof. Darksdale Hamlett. Thirty-five hundred copies have been published, and will be distributed free of charge. A personal letter has been written to every newspaper in the state and a copy of this bulletin sent to them. Kentucky, the dark and bloody ground, has done something that no other state in America has ever done for the welfare of Negro education. The value of this bulletin to the state will thrice double itself to the well development of the minds of this commonwealth among our people. Mr. Timberlake is a school teacher and has taught for several years in the western part of the state and in Tennessee. He has made this theme a special study for a number of years. His name will be recorded in Kentucky's reports as the author of this bulletin, and the first Negro author of a book of this kind that the state of Kentucky thought so much of its contents as to have it put into pamphlet form and to give it away for the betterment of our people.
RACE URGED TO CELEBRATE
To Celebrate Fiftieth Anniversary Year of Freedom.
Tuskegee, Ala., Oct. 17.—Anxious that the entire race set aside the week of Oct. 19 to 26 for the purpose of celebrating the fiftieth anniversary year of freedom, Dr. Booker T. Washington has sent the following to the Chicago Defender:
(1) That October 19-26, 1913, be known as Fiftieth Anniversary Week.
(2) That schools, churches, and all other societies and organizations in every part of the United States, where there is a considerable number of our people, unite and co-operate for the purpose of holding local celebrations that shall recite our progress in commercial, professional, intellectual, moral, and religious directions. An effort should be made to secure the strongest and most representative men obtainable as speakers.
It is my earnest hope and desire that the above suggestions be read before the various churches, lodges, and other organizations of our people, to the end that the Fiftieth Anniversary Week of Freedom shall be generally observed everywhere.
MRS. HENRY JONES

Mistakes Lightning for Burglar.
During the storm last week the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jones, 6641 Evans avenue, the house was struck by lightning. It proved quite a shock to Mrs. James, while the old "war horse" took quietly. They were both at the dinner table enjoying a delightful meal a la Jenan chicken with trimmings, when a loud clap of thunder was heard and the lightning struck the chimney and bricks fell on the roof—Mrs. Jones took a gasp and fell in her "hubble's" arms, thinking it was a burglar. "No, wife, its only the handwork of God." Then Mrs. Jones realized it was lightning.

The Chicago Defender, voicing the sentiment of the Chicago Daily News, comes out for Judge Putterbaugh, and declares that on the broad ground of general fitness for the bench he is head and shoulders above either of his rivals for the place. This is patient to everybody at all conversant with the situation. Not even the

The Man the Afro-Americans Will cause He Is Against Jim Crow T Keep the State in the Path That Standard of All Men Being Up friends of Captain Craig will contend that he is so well fitted for the supreme bench as Judge Puterbaugh, and not even the most violent progressive will argue as much for Mr. Shay. The partisan friends of these gentlemen are urging their election to the bench, not because they are best fitted for the post, but on the ground that their party should triumph at the polls, as they chance to be Democrats or Progressives. The Defender sensibly takes exception to this line of argument and is supporting Judge Puterbaugh because of his superior attainments, his fairness and ability, his fine legal mind and general fitness for the place. No other consideration should be allowed to enter into the selection of a justice of the supreme court of Illinois. The Defender says:
There are two arguments that are commonly advanced in favor of a candidate for a position on the bench. One argument is that the man is fit. The other argument is that the man is a member of "our party." Sometimes the two are combined after this fashion: "The man is fit because he is a member of our party." That is a ridiculous argument.
The height of the ridiculous is now reached by various partisans who are interested in the election on October 20 of a justice of the supreme court of Illinois for the Fifth district. That district is composed of the counties of Bureau, Grundy, Henry, Knox, La Salle, Marshall, Peoria, Putnam, Stark and Woodford. There Judge Leille D. Puterbaugh of Peoria, with a record of eight years as judge of the probate court, fifteen years as judge of the circuit court and nine years' service as judge of the appellate court, is opposed by two candidates, neither of whom has had any judicial experience. Judge Puterbaugh's fitness as shown by his decisions in important cases has brought him notable support in the district from others besides Republicans, who made him their party nominee without opposition. Supporters of one or the other of the rival candidates are making this argument: "Our candidate, though he has no experience on the bench, is a better man than Judge Puterbaugh for justice of the supreme court because he is a member of our political party."

TO THE PULLMAN PORT-
ERS OF AMERICA
There seems to have been organized or to organize at a conductors' and porters' union or federation known as the O. O. S. C. E., with Mr. C. F. Stewart president, Mr. R. J. Bairstow treasurer, and Mr. R. W. Bell secretary, and is soliciting the membership of the Pullman porters.
This organization came into existence without our knowledge. Its bylaws and constitution were formed without our knowledge or even communication within any way that such an organization was contemplated, that we might have at least a representative at the organizing, which leaves us entirely out of the constitution—of which I have no objection. But now they wish us to accept what the walking delegate and solicitor should say. The charter has been granted, according to dooders, and in working shape. But to all Pullman porters in Chicago and everywhere else this warning comes:
Greeting—Beware of this organization. Put not your name to any of the literature. To those who have already signed any of its papers, appreciate the warning and withdrew before you go any further, as it will be too late later on to correct the mistake which will surely come if you are so short-sighted as to allow yourself to be used in that way. At present we are a mole that works both ways and number at least 100 to 1.
Although realizing that unions properly conducted mean good both to employer and employe, we believe this union or federation is absolutely no good to us on the whole and in time will make the position intolerable, and I ask with all the earnestness within me that we act wisely and let this union or federation alone. In the near future I will call a porters' meeting and discuss the proposition more thoroughly, that all concerned may more clearly understand their position.
Hoping all porters will heed warning and take due notice.

Don't know how it happened—but it did—that The Defender one day, the past week dropped in at Keith School and saw thing that opened its—the editor's—eyes.
It hasn't been so many years ago when it was quite the custom to refer to Keith School with a shrug of the shoulder as the "horrible example" of Chicago's many seats of learning, but that time has passed; a new Keith School, new in spirit, impulse and movement, has succeeded the much abused old ones and its very inviting and also a revelation to the chance visitor within its walls.
Let it be said at once that excellent order and decorum is the rule, and that no school in our big town can boast of a neater, cleaner, brighter crowd of girls and boys, from the little tot to the miss and youth in their early teens, preparing themselves for the coming duties and activities of life.
Features.
The orchestra, named "The Keith School Orchestra," is a most admirable feature of the new Keith, with the following working membership: pianist, Justin Samuels; drummer, Eugene Christian; cornellist, William Samuels; violinist-leader, Gomez Kennedy; clarinetist, Albert Thomas.
The ringers of the bells, or bell boys, to designate certain divisions of time incident to study, recitation, recess, etc., were an additional eyeopener to the visitor. The lads composing this corps are Gladstone Hosewood, Albert Thomas, R. M. Romain, Theodore Cheatham.
What with the printing office, to teach the "art preservative," the carpenter shop, alive with future "builders" and "joiners" in the bud, the Defender man had trouble in keeping his feet "was all so surprising and fine. Six shower baths, compulsory upon each student to use, that the virtue of cleanliness and freshness of the skin and muscles might thus be instilled in their young, hopeful lives, was quite the last straw and convinced the "printer man" that what he did not know about fine modern schools like this new Keith would make a good-sized book.
When in parade or procession in and out of the building, at the tap of the bell, accompanied by the orchestra, it's a sight that enthuses, this army of students marching, Odd Fashion, three abreast. During the summer now passing the "flower garden" planted, arranged and attended by the school's lassies and lads, was one of its most charming features and the pride of Dearborn street.

HOTEL RALEIGH FOULS
Lets Out Colored Waiters After Using Them During Strike.
Special to The Defender.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 17.—The Hotel Raleigh has "let out" its crew of colored waiters, and has replaced them with white men. A year or so ago when the white waiters struck, the management was at its wits' ends to know what to do to keep the house open. Colored waiters of experience, character and industry came forward and broke the strike. They have given perfect satisfaction and handled French menus with the readiness that they served the English of it, and the patrons gave every evidence that they liked the service the colored waiters gave them. The head waiter, Mr. George A. Johnson, is one of the very best men in the business, and his discipline and general direction of the men was of the highest order. He maintained a standard of efficiency unsurpassed by the corps of waiters in any hotel in the land, and a man who has gone out with Mr. Johnson's "O. K." is in demand wherever he has landed. The letting out of the forty men constituting the Raleigh dining room crew was a severe blow and throws out of employment men who have given the best years of their life to this work and have become experts at it. Mr. Johnson is associated with Mr. A. H. Underdownt for the present in the promotion of a school for waiters, and they are doing well. They will fight for places for the men they are training for service.
Died in Texas, is the Latest Report from the Lone Star State. Pony Moore, one of the most widely known sporting men of the "Windy City," is dead, according to a letter received by Walter Baker of the Keystone buffet.

Sunday morning service, 10:15 a.m.
Sunday school, 1:15 p.m. Intermediate C. E. prayer meeting, 6 p.m.
Senior C. E. prayer, 7 p.m. Evening service, 8 p.m. Midweek prayer meeting, Wednesday evening, 8 o'clock sharp.
Now are all things ready to begin another prosperous year in St. John's.
The pastor, Dr. R. E. Wilson, through the wise direction of the bishop at the last annual conference, has been returned to this church and people, where last year, together with God's help and theirs, he brought about great changes and won many battles for Christ and the church. St. John's stands today at the threshold of a bright and promising future. She sees the way opening, and the fog of discouragement, discomfort and despair disappearing, and brightly now her horizon of hope appearing.
To the end that these good things might be accomplished the "Spiritual Tide," as some one has said, must be kept high. And now are all joining the "high tide" effort, as was evidenced by the extraordinary prayer meeting of last Wednesday evening. Surely God's presence was near when three young persons were prompted to come forth during this service and join the church—two for Shiloh Baptist church and one for St. John. This is sufficient evidence that the plan is worth white, and it will continue to bring results as long as the church yields to the will of God. Every phase of last Sunday's worship was filled with this same spirit, and the day was closed with a most timely and beftling sermon by the pastor at the evening service upon the subject of "Co-operation."
GRACE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
There will be a meeting of the teachers and officers of the Sunday school Monday, October 20, at 8 p. m., at the church. Mr. A. G. Williams will conduct the study of the lessons for the next two weeks.
A Sunday evening service from 6 to 7 p. m. will be conducted every Sunday. Young people are especially urged to attend.
There was a social given by the home department of the Sunday school under the direction of Miss Cora Willis at the home of Mr. Charles Pierce, 4814 Evans avenue, Friday evening.
MT. MORIAH BAPTIST CHURCH.
42 West Forty-seventh Street.
Sunday was quite a busy day for Mt. Moriah. Our pastor preached a grand sermon Sunday morning. Sunday school began immediately after services. The church and pastor were invited to Harvey, and immediately after Sunday school they started on their journey and arrived just in time for a glorious meeting, after which the pastor of Mt. Moriah, Rev. T. L. Polk, showed Rev. Jordan and his
members how Mt. Moriah raises a collection. We then returned to Mt. Moriah and there we found the church crowded, and the people were having a glorious meeting. The day was a success both spiritually and financially.
ST. MARK'S M. E. CHURCH.
Rev. Robinson, the pastor, took for his text St. Mark, first chapter, seventeenth verse: "Come thou after me, and I will make thee to become fishers of men."
John the Baptist popularized "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand," and his hearers carried it to all the regions round about.
Christ did not open his mouth to the multitude for popularity.
The sermon was ably delivered.
Six responded to the invitation for new members.
The week's collection for all purposes was $75.86.
The evening sermon was even as effective as was the morning sermon. The subject was a continuation of the morning theme: "Cast your net on the sea, and shall find." This sermon was also earnest and effective resulting in conversions and two additions to the membership roll.
There is under way an earnest campaign for members and for conversions. Meetings continue this week.
SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH.
Regular service every Sunday, 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Sunday school, 1 p.m. B. Y. P. U., 7 p.m. Prayer service on Wednesday. The fourth Sunday is the quarterly rally day. On October 30 and November 6 the choir will render Handel's Messiah under the leadership of Mr. George Duncan.
REGISTRAR NAPIER
IN NASHVILLE
(Special to the Defender.)
Washington, D. C., Oct. 17.—Former Registrar and Mrs. J. C. Napier left Monday night for their home in Nashville, Tenn., to spend a few weeks. Mr. Napier has not yet determined what he will do about the banking proposition he has been asked to take hold of here. In any event, he will not give up his Nashville connections, and may oscillate between Washington and his home on business trips. Mr. Napier spent the winter here with his wife, Mrs. J. John Mercer Langston, at Hillside Cottage. All last Sunday this historic residence was besieged by friends of the Napiers, who called to express their regret at the departure of such desirable social factors and to wish them a pleasant journey homeward.
THE SICK LIST.
Mrs. Wallace of 3520 Forest avenue is able to be up again after a week's illness and declares she feels as sound as ever.

Why We Do Not Burn Witches
Why We Do Not Burn Witchens
When the old Puritan got so excited
over witches that he couldn't sleep
and was willing to burn the old women
to get rid of them, he showed that he
did not have the steady nerve of the
modern man, who sees things ten
times more mysterious happening all
the time and never gets at all
excited. The reason why they did not
have so many in the asylums at that
time was because there were no asylums
to which they could be sent—

Every Day Resolve
I will this day try to live a simple, sincere and serene life; repelling promptly every thought of discontent, anxiety, discouragement, impurity and self seeking, cultivating cheerfulness, magnanimity, charity and the habit of holy silence; exercising economy in expenditure, carefulness in conversation, diligence in appointed service, fidelity to every trust, and a childlike trust in God—Bishop Vincent.
Not Always Our Own Master.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER
News Notes of the Nation's Capital
By R. W. THOMPSON
[Special to The Chicago Defender.] Washington, D. C., Oct. 17—Charles J. Pickett, formerly associated with Senator Shelby M. Cullom on the Committee on Foreign Relations in the Senate, has been retained by the exsenator as his special representative with the commission in charge of the erection of the memorial here in Potomac Park in honor of Abraham Lincoln. The work in connection with this classic temple will last for several years. Mr. Pickett is a citizen of Chicago and is well known by all of the prominent men of both races throughout the country. He is buying a beautiful home at Fairmount Heights, near Washington.
Architect W. Sidney Pittman is making good at his new home in Dallas, Texas. He is superintending the erection of a number of high priced structures for business and school purposes in various parts of the Lone Star state. Mrs. Portia Washington Pittman, daughter of Dr. Booker T. Washington, a musician of rare qualities, has won a host of friends in new environment and has given a series of recitals that have established new standards of taste and ideals along musical lines wherever she has been heard. The Pittmans are deservedly popular among the people with whom they mingle in the great Southwest. It may be added that Mr. Pittman is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute and has carried into his profession the "energetic excellence" for which his alma mater is famous.
Rev. Simon P. W. Drew is entertaining at the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church the convention of the National Evangelical Society of America, and the meetings will continue there until Oct. 30. Besides, the annual address of Dr. Drew, speeches have been delivered by Rev. G. W. Coffey of Pennsylvania, Rev. A. L. McKee of New York, Rev. G. W. Bailey of New Jersey and various other divines from North Carolina, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Successful revival services are being held nightly by Dr. Drew and the brethren of the society. The excursion steam "The Angler," operated during the season by Lewis Jefferson & Company for the accommodation of colored pleasure seekers, has been laid up until next winter.
Lowell W. Baker, an expert in architecture, is superintendent in charge of the construction of the federal building at Mansfield, O. and is making a remarkably fine record. W. W. Cooke, another expert along the same line, is in charge of the construction work of the government at both Bowling Green and Defiance, O. Their salary is $2,000 per annum. They are colored men and their efficiency as supervisors at several points under the direction of the Treasury Department is a source of great satisfaction to both the department and to the race with which they are identified. A third colored architect of pronounced ability is Howard D. Woodson, serving admirably in the drafting division of the supervising architect's office at Washington. Hon. J. C. Napier is to visit Tuskegee Institute this month.
The fight on Howard University will prove to be a flash in the pan. Local and personal grievances can be adjusted without a wholesale raid on the school, from the president down to the janitor.
Lew Henry is pulling big crowds nightly at Dudley's U street theater. Whatever it takes to make a playhouse successful. Lew Henry's got it.
The announcement that Charles W. Anderson is to be retained by President Wilson as collector of internal revenue at New York City is having a heartening effect on the colored people hereabouts. Mr. Anderson has made a flawless record and is entitled to hold on to the job. It is regarded as pretty certain here that Judge Robert H. Terrell, a lawyer of ability and a skilled jurist, will be retained in a similar manner, as he is endorsed for retention by leading members of the District bar, both Democrats and Republicans supporting him. Judge Terrell's present tenure closes in December.
Miss Kate B. Chase of 12th street, a popular society belle, is at home again after a delightful trip to New York, Philadelphia and other points East and North.
Mrs. Nettie Langston Harlan and Mrs. Ralph E. Langston are assisting Mr. Robert Harlan in handling the growing business of the "Toggery Shop" at 1105 and 1107 U street northwest. Mr. Harlan was so successful in carrying a line of men's wear that he has now opened a ladies' department, with these entrusing ladies in charge. The stock is rich and varied in both departments.
Mr. C. E. Corbett, who has been practicing law for the past three years at Wowoka, Okla., has been visiting his parents in this city, following a tour embracing New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Atlantic City. He is accompanied by Mrs. Corbett, who as Miss Pauline Crusor was one of Washington's favorite debentantes a few years ago. Mr. Corbett has made good in the "Future Great" and is secretary of the Civil Rights League of Oklahoma and secretary of the Negro Bar Association of that state. Mrs. Corbett will remain here some weeks and will be joined this week by her mother, Mrs. Bettie H. Crusor, who has been spending the summer at her country residence, Woodville, Va.
W. S. Monroe Becomes Singer—Will Go in Vaudeville on Big Time.
Every Tuesday afternoon at the Pompel the city's celebrities are seen
---
and heard in song and dance. It is the one place having an afternoon cabaret. With Dave Peyton's orchestra to furnish music the singers are given inspiration to "make good." There was quite a surprise on Tuesday when Mr. W. S. Monroe, the crack second baseman for the American Giants, rendered "Dearest Memories" sweetly and pleasingly. Miss Esmerelda Strater and Miss Ada Banks also sang. Miss Mattie Ham of New York City and Miss Elvira Johnson (Mary Garden) were guests.
GARY SOCIETY
Gary, Ind., Oct. 17.—The First Baptist Church, under the able pastorate of Rev Charles E. Hawkins, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio, is progressing nicely. The structure is a very creditable edifice and shows what an able man the new pastor is. The membership is in better harmony at the present time than it has been in many years, there being no internal strivings, which have heretofore retarded the growth and influence of this little mission. It is hoped that everyone will stand by the Rev. Hawkins and help him to do the work of which he is so capable. Rev. L. J. Phillips has returned to pastor the First A. M. E. Church for another year and the people in general will as well as the members of the congregation be highly pleased to have again the able and scholarly Christian) gentleman as the leader and teacher of Christian living. A fitting reception was tendered Dr. Phillips last Wednesday evening at the parsonage.
Mrs. Elizabeth E. Lyle and Mr. Everett D. Simpson, our teachers at the new Freebel Building, are planning to give the annual Halloween entertainment to their pupils and their parents and friends on the evening of Oct. 31, at the Twelfth Street School Building. This affair always proves as instructive as it does entertaining to the young minds and all of the children are making many arrangements and various costumes for the occasion.
The Mets' Institutional League gave another of its interesting programs last Sunday afternoon. Voluntary, Mrs. William Owlesy; duet, Mrs. E. L. Ely and Mrs. Charles Allen; solo, Miss Baskin; a talk, Collins; solo, Mr. O. V. Martin. Rev. L. J. Phillips presided.
The Blue Ribbon Club will entertain their husbands and friends in the near future at a well prepared luncheon.
Miss Floy Russell of South Broadway has returned to her home after spending four delightful weeks visiting in Indianapolis, Ind.
Mrs. Luther Guider of South Massachusetts street returned last Saturday morning from Springfield, Ohio, where she has been spending four weeks visiting her mother and friends.
Messrs. Smith of the Stell Co. general office, and Mr. D. Daniel spent last Sunday in Chicago with friends.
Miss Malinda McCoughtry of the Tin Plate general office has resigned her position and returned to her home in Indianapolis, Ind., to remain indefinitely. Her many friends regretted her going, she being one of the best young ladies of our city. It is hoped that she will decide to return.
Mr. and Mrs. Simmons have returned from their old home at Indianapolis, where they have been spending a month with relatives and friends.
Several of our people have bought homes in Gary or are buying them. A list of those buying and owning homes and a list of those reading this paper will be published soon. Dr. W. R. Arthur, Mrs. West and Rev. Clark left last Monday evening to attend to lodge work in Indianapolis. While away Dr. Arthur will go to Louisville, Ky., to visit fellow physicians at Meharry Medical College, where he was once a student. Mrs. Charles Allen was taken ill last Monday afternoon, but is now much improved. Messrs. Van McCoughtry and Everett D. Simpson went to Oakland Hall, Chicago, last Thursday evening to hear the celebrated violinist, Clarence White. Mr. M. C. Singer and Miss Annie Spencer Were Chicago visitors last Sunday. Prof. James Ahlyn Mundy of Chicago will appear in concert in this city Nov. 25. He is one of the most popular musicians of the "Windy City." Hear him.
Seven-year-old Peggy was drawing the picture of a house and finally announced it completed. "But where are the chimneys?" she was asked. Peggy's face fell for a moment as she noticed this important emission, but she quickly recovered her presence of mind. "Oh this kind of a house doesn't need chimneys," she answered calmly. "It is heated by radiators."
Belleved Fish Had a Language. In the old Roman days the muranas, or sea eels, were supposed to be possessed of a "language"—low and sweet, it is denominated by one ancient word, "and with an intonation so fascinating that few could resist its influence." The Emperor Augustus, it was contended, was the only mortal who could understand this "language."

JUDGE MARCUS A. KAVANAGH.
“Ten million Negroes of the United
States are erying out for stmple Jus-
tice." What a Yolume is expressed
in these few words of Judge Marcus
Kavanagh's speech before the Irish
Fellowship Club at Hotel La Salle last
Saturday evening. Never in the his
tory of America did a man plead more
foreibly and more earnestly for the
cause of an oppressed people. ‘The
words that fell from his lps came
from the innermost recesses of his
heart, And who was not touched when
he said: “Here they are about_us,
with white men’s hearts and white
men’s brains, but shut out from every:
thing in this life worth while"? To.
day we feel the smarts of oppression
more than perhaps our ancestors did.
‘We are not a passive race, nor are we
submissive. Our whole heart and soul
rebels against tho awful . injustices
heaped upon us, and yet our weakness,
doth mentally and numerically, bids
us bide our time. The world isn't all
wrong, even {f at times it does seem
80, and there are hundreds of our
white friends who protest against these
dally tragedies. “The Future of the
American Negro” ‘vould hold no ter
rors for us if all men belleved as doos
our friend Judge Marcus A. Kavan
agh In giving us “simple justice.”

Judge Leslie D, Puterbauigh, the

appears to The Defender, paying the

clean and qualified lives, are marked
for sacrifice and defeat, Talk about
the voraclousness and cruelty of the
winged vultures that pick out,the

and butchers of the mountain heights
and passes are novices, angels of

PRESS COMMENT.
‘THE RIGHTS OF THE NEGRO.
Judge Marcus Kavanagh of Chi
cago makes a strong plea on behalf
of the Negro, for whom he asks simple
justice. This country owes no small
part of its prosperity to industrious
and selfrespecting Negroes. Judge
Kavanagh calls attention to some of
‘the forms of discrimination against
‘Negroes that severely handicaps (heir
efforts to take thelr proper place
among those who perform productive
labor. ‘The first thing to be done, as
he well says, Is for the white people
of this country to divest themselves
of unjust prejudices.
‘The success attained by many Ne:
groes who have found opportunities
to succeed gives point to Judge Kay-
anagh’s remarks. In summarizing a
social study recenily made by Atlanta
University of the Negro artisan of
America its writer asserts in the light
of the facts set forth that in so far
as Negroes "are glven opportunity and
assured justice, fn so far can the
‘world expect from them the maximum
of efficiency and service.”
‘An example of the spread of sound
reasoning on this subject is furnished
by the Molders’ International Union of
America. ‘That organization, which
has long excluded Negroes from its
membership, Is now seriously consid-
ering the advisability of admitting
them. At the unfon’s last convention
one of the delegates declared: “If we
do not raise the colored worker to our
standard he will drag us down to his."
With clear Insight the speaker added:
“His interests are identical with
yours. Every one knows that this
condition wiil have to be met, yet
some of us want to postpone the day
and let others take the responsibility.
Do not let your race prejudice warp
your judgment.”
This is excellent advice for every-
body to heed. Why postpone the Ne-
gro's Nberation’ from Nl advised pre}i-
dice?—The Chicago Dally News.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC "All Passes, Art Alone Endures"
JOTTINGS THEATRICAL AND OTHERWISE.
The bill offered by the Grand the first half of the week was not quite up to form, though, when compared to bills offered by other outlying houses, would appear far above the average. To present an entire change of acts twice a week is no easy task, and to present something to suit the fastidious taste of the Grand followers is still a harder task. The bill was opened by Eugene Trio, comedy triple bar artists.
There was nothing especially starting in their work, and it was really sad to look at what they introduced as their comedian. He would do much better to act straight. Percy and Emma Pallock put over cleverly two or three crackerjack conversational songs and got away with a favorable impression. The musical Stipples were easily the star number on the bill. They played but one instrument—the xylophone—but they played it well. They are thorough musicians and the applause was genuine and well deserved. Harry Antrim was rightly billed the "Odd Fellow." He really had no place on the bill. King's Comedy Circus closed the bill, and was passable for acts of this kind.
THE STATES.
Another one of the famous Foster Film Company's pictures, entitled "The Fall Guy," was presented at the States this week and was a marked improvement over some of the preceding ones and simply goes to prove that practice makes perfect. At this house only can be seen all first-run pictures turned out by this company. The crowds that pack the house nightly are an evidence of their popularity. The vaudeville bill was exceptionally good, and since such rapid progress is being made in the perfection of the acoustic properties, better and more satisfactory results are being obtained by the artists. The Black Sisters, Charles H. Downs, and Frank Bell and his dogs were the attractions, and, judging by the world of applause, more than made good. Mr. Tank, the genial manager, promises an exceptionally strong bill for the coming week. You cannot afford to miss it.
Vaudeville has taken a firm hold on the State street strollers, as the Merit theater is now using four acts, changing twice weekly. The States theater is also offering vaudeville. The Pekin is considering vaudeville for Saturdays and Sundays. Edgar Connor and "The Sambo Girls" will be at the Franklin theater the last three days of this week. Joe Simms has a big novelty qct in rehearsal to put on at one of the local houses. Fannie Wise made such a big hit at the Merit theater that she was held over for three days of this week. Tom Lemonier, the great song writer, has just finished a beautiful descriptive ballad entitled "Up Today, and Down Tomorrow." It sounds like it will be the hit of the season. Mr. S. H. Dudley, after spending several weeks at Louisville, Ky., is now back at his home theater at Washington, D. C., looking after the interests of the Dudley circuit.
Mr. James Harris, formerly stage manager of the Smart Set, is spending a few days in the city.
It is rumored that Mr. W. H. Smith has been offered the management of the Merit theater, now that they are in vaudeville. No better selection could be made, as he knows the business from A to Z.
Elizabeth Hart Dorsey at the States last week was in excellent voice.
Great preparations are being made to entertain and to be entertained when that very talented Adia Overton Walter and her coterie of players appear at the Pekin on Monday. November 3. A number of the social organizations will attend in bodies.
Miss Mattie Woodard of 3228 Forest avenue is having great success as a ticket seller for the Patti Brown concert October 23 at Bethel A. M. E. church. Be there no later than 8:30 o'clock.
Miss Elvira Johnson, who is called the "Mary Garden" of the Stroll, is being constantly called for by parties at the Elite for special songs. She is really one of the best entertainers along the Stroll.
Patti.
Sing-Tell-Play Company's Grand Musicale at Bethel Church Next Thursday, October 23.
The talk of the town is the coming of the season's greatest concert at Bethel A. M. E. church Thursday evening, October 23, by Mme. Anita Patti Brown's concert company, this being their initial and farewell concert prior to their sailing for foreign shores. All are anxious to see, hear and say good-bye. The advance sale of tickets indicates an overcrowded house. Sales are now at this writing more than 200. The church will appear in decoration as a garden of roses, with eight of our loveliest damsels to add to its beauty as ushers.
Among Madam Anita Patti Brown's ticket sellers for the Sing-Tell-Play concert is Mrs. Sallie M. Jones Downs, who has disposed of all she had in charge, some being sold to some of the best families of the white race.
The Grand Orchestra.
Since the opening of the new Grand theater thousands of people have heard the orchestra with a marked degree of pleasure and satisfaction. Visitors from all sections have applauded Professor Peyton and his orchestra. Many have written the leader such flattering letters urging the orchestra to travel that during the Christmas holidays Louisville, Cincinnati and Indianapolis are being planned for a visit by this orchestra, when a musical program will be rendered, and dance to follow. Mr. Peyton expects the trip to be very successful.
FELLOWSHIP CLUB.
The Negro Fellowship League plans much for the advancement of our people along musical lines. Each year, at Orchestra hall the Fellowship chorus is to appear in music by the great masters, and also Negro folk songs.
The fellowship chorus is to appear on January 1 under the direction of Mr. James A. Mundy, whose efficiency needs no introduction to Chicago. Mr. Mundy has received letters from Tuskegee, the president of Liberia, and from many other places, commending him upon his composition, "Ethiopia." He is writing a brilliant composition entitled "The Lord Has Done Great Things for Us" for this year's chorus. All singers are requested to join in this annual chorus now. Meeting each Tuesday night at 3005 State street and each Sunday at 3:30 p. m. at Grace Presbyterian church.
The George W. Williams Benefit.
New States Theater Has Been Secured.
The date for the testimonial benefit for George W. Williams has been set for Friday, November 7, at 2:30 p. m., and the New States theater has been secured. Twenty select vaudeville acts have been arranged for, which include some of the premier vaudeville stars among the colored professional ranks, and a complete list of which will be published later. The committee in charge of the benefit anticipates no trouble in bringing this affair to a successful issue, inasmuch as the beneficiary is without doubt one of the most deserving that could have been selected, and it is the hope of the committee that the members of the race will show their loyalty to one who has been such a help to the upbuilding of Negro theatricals.
Tallaboo to Return.
Tallaboo with its original cast, under the personal direction of Mrs. Jennie Lacey, will return to Chicago after Ada Overton Walker at the Pekin. In the cast will be Fannie Hall Clint; Nellie Lane Stone, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Dunham, Mr. and Mrs. George Hutcherson, Bertolia Fortson and others. This show had the biggest run of any play at the Pekin theater.

Prof. Flemming, a missionary from India, delivered a stirring address on missionary work last Sunday at the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Reece and Mr. Ellington were introduced, as captains of membership teams. They announced that they would run a competitive campaign for a month and asked for volunteers for their teams. The team which brings in the fewer members will banquet the other side. The membership is approaching the four hundred mark and is expected to pass it within a week.
Mr. Ferguson's class, No. 19, of Ebenezer Sunday school, gave an entertainment at 3514 Pineville avenue Wednesday night. The proceeds will be applied to the boys' fee in the Y. M. C. A. The house was completely filled with older and younger friends.
The Boys' Department indoor baseball team continues to win its home games from public school teams. Their victories have been over Raymond twice, Keith, Wendell Phillips High, Mosely, and Fuller schools on successive Saturdays. They were beaten outdoors last Saturday and the Saturday before by the Mosely school, but they are going back two more Saturdays to even up matters. The score against Fuller school last week was the closest of the season, 11-12. In fact it was the only Saturday game thus far in which the Y. M. C. A. boys took their last inning. The last run was made after two out. It would pay one to visit the gymnasium some Saturday afternoon to witness some genuine enthusiasm.
The Boys' Glee club has Mr. James Mundy for director. It meets Friday evenings at 7:30. The director was surprised at the musical ability of the boys. St. Thomas' choir boys are the nucleus of what promises to be a very pleasing musical club.

Singularly Productive Tree. Perhaps the most productive of all trees is the carnamba tree, similar to the palm which flourishes along the Rio Grande. When it if young it produces vinegar, while the roots have a taste similar to sarsaparilla. The branches give forth nuts which when roasted can be used as coffee. The tree's wood is serviceable to make musical instruments. Lastly there is a wax extracted from it that is used to make candles.

Remember, that man's life lies all within this present, as 'twere' but a hair's breadth of time; as for the rest, the past is gone, the future yet unseen. Short, therefore, is man's life, and narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he dwells.—Marcus. Aurelium.

God's day is Sunday, and mother's is Tuesday."

---
Wednesday afternoon between 300 and 500 people met at 3333 Wabash avenue, where an invitation had been extended to them to attend the opening of the Chicago Baptist Religious Training Seminary. At 2 o'clock sharp the meeting was called to order by Dr. E. J. Fisher, the president of the Baptist state convention of Illinois, who stated that the purposes of the school would be set forth by the president-elect, Rev. F. A. Cutlure, who would follow, and what they intended to accomplish by establishing such a school in the city of Chicago
He then introduced Rev. E. T. Martin, the pastor of the Bethesda Baptist Church, who complimented the work and also analyzed the word "semiary," and showed that it was a place where seed was to be sown, and the effect and result were to follow from those who have been in charge of the seminary and those who would be the recipients of the instruction given. Rev. Martin stated that he was always in favor of any movement that would be for the upbuilding of the race and community at large.
Following the address of Rev. Martin, Rev. D. H. Harris of Shiloh Baptist Church was introduced and stated that his object for being present was on the invitation of the president-elect and that he could form a better opinion as to the school and its future objects after having listened to the address of the president. Dr. Fisher then introduced Mr. M. T. Balley, the chief of the Chicago division and state deputy of Illinois of the True Reformers, to say a word for the citizens of Chicago and the organization which he represented. He spoke in high terms of the school and complimented those who were at the head, and stated that the organization which he represented was in sympathy with any movement that had for its object the betterment' of the conditions of the race.
Rev. E. W. Hicks, Rev. S. I. M. Francis, Rev. Felix Cutrure, Rev M. E. Adams and others delivered addresses
THE TRUE REFORMERS.
Chief M. T. Bailey has just completed one week on the trip to visit 500 cities in the states of Illinois and Wisconsin, and to speak in every church and mission owned by the race in these states. Sunday, October 12, he spoke at the Union Baptist church and Sunday school and the Methodist church and Sunday school in Blue Island; in the afternoon at the Beth Eden Baptist church before a large missionary society in Morgan Park; Wednesday afternoon before the Chicago Baptist Religious Training Seminary; in the evening at the Olivet Baptist church, and Saturday before the Rosebud children in Lake Forest, in company with Mrs. Lou Ela Young, the president of the Rosebud convention. At all of these places the subject was "The Grand Fountain U. O. T. R., the Greatest Negro Business and Fraternal Organization in the World," and at all these places he was highly received, and compliments paid to the Morgan Park Rev. Rogers paid a note to the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R., the Greatest Negro Business, and Richardson of Blue Island and Rev. E. T. Fisher of Chicago. Chief M. T. Bailey demonstrated at every place that the Grand Fountain has come back, and stated that $20,000 had been collected, $140,000 paid in death claims, over 29,000 new members added to the organization, and old and new members were rushing to take their places in the organization by the side of those who had borne the burden for many years.
There will be a celebration of the sixty-fourth birth anniversary of the late Rev. William Washington Browne and a tribute paid to the lives of other officers who gave their lives in the defense of the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R. at the True Reformer hall. 3638 State street.

A healthy, fat rat wandered into the Pullman Restaurant No.1 on West 51st street while the place was occupied by patrons, jumped upon the keyboard of the register, rang up 40 cents, put it in his mouth and down he flopped. It was never decided whether he was a bold thief or just wanted some extra change. It was agreed, however, that he was a "game soldier."

No Copyrighted Rules for Their Retention—Matter of Feeding Important Feature of Work.
"How to keep husbands" is coming to be a more important subject with magazine writers than "How to get husbands." And perhaps it deserves more consideration. The topic is not copyrighted. Nearly everybody is taking a hand in the discussion. It's our turn.
Ninety-nine times out of 100 a husband can be kept by feeding him. When he comes home tired, feed him; when he finds fault with things, feed him; when he complains about business or the weather, feed him; when he has the blues about the hopes of the homo team, feed him; when he laments the poor quality of the last set of tires, feed him; when his cross, feed him; when he's angry, feed him; when he's sick, feed him; always feed him.
No husband who waddles or stalks into his home of evenings, tired, worried, disgusted, half angry, out of sorts, can remain so after he has filled up on a juicy steak and warm pumpkin pie. No husband will object to the pranks of the children that have torn his magazine, or lost the sporting section of the evening paper, when he has had a good supper. No husband will go to his work with the blues if he has had the right kind of breakfast.
When great deeds are to be done the well-fed man must he depended upon to do them; when great ideas are to be thought out, men with satisfied stomachs are the ones to think them; when skill is demanded, when strength is required, when intelligence is needed, it is the well-fed men who come forward to fill the demands.
On the eve of a great battle either for his country or for his personal welfare, the conqueror is the man who eats good food and then marches forth to victory. Depend upon them, feeding the men of the world is as much a social as an economic problem, and the women upon whom it devolves to feed their husbands, by doing it not only keep their husbands, but keep the world moving.
Base Ball Story.
Here is a little story told recently by Christy Mathewson and it may cast a side light on some inside baseball that will be interesting to the fans: "One of the most serious things that can happen in a game of ball," said the nightly twirler, "is for the pitcher to double cross his catcher. It was not so very long ago that I did this to 'Chief' Meyers. In fact, I have been guilty of that breach of baseball etiquette on several occasions, but always unwittingly. Now here's the reason for my masters: Meyers is naturally dark and when he becomes tanned his skin is unusually so. When he puts his hand against his glove to give the signal for the kind of a pitch he wants, it is hard to tell whether he has one or two fingers extended. One finger might be the signal for a curve and two for a fast one. After giving a signal the catcher, naturally, is looking for what he called, and if the twirler throws something else, the backstop might easily be injured. This is the first time in my long career that the color of a catcher's hand played such an important part in baseball games. Every fan knows that the face of a backstop's glove becomes a dark brown, and when, in addition, the catcher's hand is tanned to an unusual degree, it is some job for the pitcher to tell the difference between one and two fingers." -Leslie's.
Modern Ethics.
Rev. Dr. Madison Peters, who for several years has been working to reduce the cost of living and who has frequently sold vegetables in the streets of New York for this cause, said in a recent address to a New York housewives' league:
"I will tell you how to buy fifteen-dollar bills for $2, four-hundred-dollar pianos for $100, fifteen-cent beans for three cents—eliminate the middleman. I believe, after careful investigation, that the cost of living in the United States is lower than in any other country at the point of production. The consumer should therefore buy at the point of production. And as much as we would greatly benefit the producer, who is not treated none too well by the middleman. His honest industry is not rewarded as it should be.
"We are too apt to betle honest industry. We are like the young immigrant at the East Side mission. This lad's teacher one day put the following question to him:
"There were two rich men, one of whom made his fortune by honest industry, while the other made his by wealth, who knew of which of these men would you prove to be." "Which made the most?" the boy asked, sharply.
Pendulum Steadies Aeroplane
"An automatic means for storing aeroplanes can be considered as discovered," said M. Quinton, president of the French National Aerial league, at a banquet given to President Polinure. "The apparatus is that of an aviator who has down with a passenger for thirty-five minutes, controlling his apparatus with only the levers for rising and descending. On that day the wind attained seven meters (twenty-three feet) per second. The principle of the device is that of a pendulum. The machine is a monoplane in type. The engine, gasoline tank and wings form a compact mass, while the seats for pilot and passenger, hanging beneath act as a pendulum."

PROF. CAMERON WHITE IN VIOLIN RECITAL AT OAKLAND HALL.
Mr. Clarence White, America's foremost violinist and finished to his finger tips, was given a happy greeting on Thursday evening by a packed house of music lovers at Oakland Music hall, 40th and Cottage Grove avenue. The recital was given under the direction of Prof. B. Emanuel Johnson and was the first musical of the Iall season. The first number by Mr. White was concerto No. 1, by Max Bruch. This was the number that showed Mr. White's wonderful raining and technique—a possession of gifts as a talented artist. The selection was received with words of healthy applause.
Mrs. Marie Peak-Merrill, the noted soprano singer, and regarded as the leading soloist of this section, again demonstrated that her voice is pure, sweet, divine and well trained, a criticism that is accepted as general. She sang two numbers, encores following. Especially fine was the rendition of "When the Heart Is Young."
Mr. White's second numbers were "A Cradle Song," dedicated to his children, "Lieberstress," and "Perpetual Motion." In the latter number his $500 violin gave forth such clear and beautiful notes that the audience could hardly sit still, so full was it of appreciation and sentiment. His encore was "Coming Through the Rye," unaccompanied. Mr. Johnson accompanied the artist.
Between the big numbers several of Prof. Johnson's pupils were on the program. Special mention and deserving of praise is Miss Ida Mae Bell, the most advanced pupil on the program. Violet Galloway, a very sweet and charming girl, sang "Peg of My Heart," and was accompanied by her sister. This number was excellent. Others that did well were Grace Galloway, Albertine Pierce, Bertha Smith, Helen Hayes, Justina Samuels, Martha Robinson, John Chur and Myrtle Scott. Ethel Melt Minor, who was to have assisted Prof. Johnson, has joined the Williams Jubilee company. Dancing followed the program. Mr. Will Kelly was master of ceremonies.
HARRY ROBINSON MASTER
PRINTER.
Many of the readers of The Defender recognize the name of Harry Robinson as associated for many years in Chicago with high-class printing; for it is hard to think of a good job of printing unless the thought carries Harry Robinson's name. Harry, as he is familiarly called, is one of the most congenial and pleasant men to deal with you ever met. With him you get the same courteous and polite treatment for an order of a hundred visiting cards as you would for a thousand catalogs. Harry recently purchased the entire outfit of the Forum Press, 3750 State street, where he continues the business and will give you the glad hand and will give you in to see him. Harry says his trip and machinery are all new and no dingy work comes out of his shop. Besides he says: "Yob get your job when promised." Harry employs responsible printers, all experts in their line, thus doubly assuring his customers of strictly high-grade work.

ALONG THE NORTH SHORE
HAPPENINGS AT MILWAUKEE
By Walter B. Scott.
Milwaukee, Wisc., Oct. 17—An appreciative audience it was that filled St. Mark's A. M. E. Church on last Tuesday evening to hear the song recited by Miss Gertrude W. Oneill of the University of Boston Conservatory of Music. She was assisted by other talent.
Miss Onell possesses a voice of clarity and rare sweetness and she thrilled her hearers by her melodious singing, in fact during the rendition of the entire program, the listeners were held in a state of ecstasy. Prof. W. E. Gossette of Evanston, the accomplished musician, rendered two instrumental numbers. The "Valse Caprice" was played very brilliantly. Mr. Walter Revels, Sr., who needs no introduction in the musical world, sang at his best, especially when singing Plusuit's "Bedouin Love Song." Misses L. Jackson and Mabel Ralney played piano solos. The brilliancy of the music was raced by Ralney, rendered Paderewski's "Manuel Lahav" to be commended. Milwaukee" elites attended on musse, and among those present of the exclusive circle were Mrs. S. A. Matthews of 589 Oakland avenue; Mrs. Whitman, Mrs. Ralney, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. and Dangerfield and Mrs. Bland. Mrs. Maude Onley of Muscatine, Ia., was one of the out of town guests.
and now music lovers of classics are looking forward with great pleasure to the piano recital to be given under the auspices of the Phyllis Wheatley Art Club, by two young ladies who are students of the Chicago Conservatory of Music. Everyone who can possibly avail himself or herself the privilege of supporting any movement that has for its aim elevation, social uplift and culture, should do so. The communityARGE has been much benefited by the presence of the city of the Povl J. S. Woods, who has been one of the main factors in securing the best talent obtainable to appear on any and all occasions.

RACINE, WIS.
By A. L. Landers.
[Special to The Chicago Defender.] Racine, Wis., Oct. 17—In defending fathers and mothers against the Evanston attack, I wish to say the variety of inherited qualities comes from strength and weakness of constitution. That is to say, when the two parents are weak the children will be weak. If they are strong the children will be robust. In the same way, purity of blood has a great effect, for the pure germ is like the superior stock which exists in plants and animals. For example children born from a weak and feeble father and mother will naturally have a feeble constitution and weak nerves. They will be afflicted and will have neither patience nor endurance nor resolution nor perseverance, and will be hasty; for children inherit the weakness and debility of their parents. But the difference of qualities with regard to culture is very great. Education has great influence. Through education the ignorant become learned, the cowardly become valiant. Through cultivation the crooked branches become straight, the wild, bitter fruit of the mountains and woods becomes sweet and delicious. A five petal flower becomes a hundred petaled. Through education savage tribes become civilized, animals domesticated.
Therefore the fourteen year old young man who plays the role of ruler of his father's house is void of understanding, and oftimes the corrupt society that swallows up thousands of youthful young men annually may have him in his grip. Character is a contagious spirit. Whether good or bad it is catching. The same as contagious diseases are in the world of men's servitude. No one ever killed Eve's servant, who is both boiling woman, who in turn tempts men. If my Evanston friend will study the conditions that surround our boys and girls in large cities he will be able to locate the guide post of evil that leads so many of our youths astray. I will close. Thanks to the editor.
Waymann's A. M. E. Church. Services were grand Sunday. Rev. Merritt preached to the largest house of the season. The church was crowded to its limits. Sunday school under its new management is growing fast. I must say a word for the splendid work of the Christian Endeavor department of this church. Its president is a man of culture and pluck. He has put every member of his staff to work and the results are great. Why, everybody you meet speaks of Pres. Cobbs and his great work.
Mrs. Spotswood visited in Milwaukee last week.
Mr. Knuckle spent Sunday visiting friends in Chicago. Be sure you take The Defender. It's a boost to our race.

The Defender's Prediction.
Several weeks ago we were asked the outcome of the world's series between the Philadelphia Athletics and the famous New York Giants, and in the issue of Sept. 13 we predicted that the Athletics would be the winners. This was before the daily papers made their predictions, and the best of sporting writers were divided on the subject, yet they all believed that the Giants had more than an even break. We did not and weeks in advance we claimed so. Now that the series is over we can lean back in our chair and gladly say that we told you so. That infield of Mack's came through on form. We made no guess but to the questions of our readers we made a study throughout the season and our correct answer was the result.
Foster's Banquet.
There has been some talk along The Stroll of Rube Foster being tendered a banquet. Mr. Foster, we are sure, would feel highly honored and it is but fit and proper that the baseball fans and numerous friends of the celebrated manager gather at some place on the South Side and honor the old Roman with feasting, music and oratory.
Rube Foster Challenges the Cubs. Mr. Andrew Foster, in behalf of the American Giants, challenged the Cubs'uesday morning and the manager of the Cubs, Mr. Evers, claimed that it was up to those who intended to retain in town and play the exhibition games. -The followers of both the major league team and the American fans are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the challenge.
Play Tie Game.
A rally by the Gunthers in the ninth inning tied the score and kept the American Glants from Victory after they had it tucked away under their belt. An error by Barber and a two base hit by Hutton scored a run. Gatewood hit Geiser and then passed the next two men, forcing in the tieing run.
Carlo, formerly bat boy for the Chicago National League club, and later star for the Wendell Phillips high school, and lately pitcher for the Montreal team of the International League, pitched for the Gunthers. The hitting was even, both clubs laying the willow against the ball for eleven swats.
The score:
Gunthers .....2 000 0 100 2—5 114
American Glants 0 21 0 200 0—5 111
Logan Squares Lose to Foster.
Sunday the American Giants set a record when they defeated the Logan Squares, 9 to 3. This was their two hundredth game. This is a record that has never been established before by any team. They started on the Pacific coast and played there and up through Vancouver and British Columbia, returning home by way of Butte, Mont., and St. Louis. Here they made a record that any team would be proud, notwithstanding the fact that they lost to the Lincoln Giants in their series.
Mr. Foster has given us a club within walking distance and has given us games where there has been more inside baseball played than in the world's series.
Score of Sunday's game:
America Giants . 02 0 3 0 1 0 2 ^- 9 1 3
Logan Squares . 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 ^- 0 3 8
Carlisle Defeats Cornell
The Carlisle Indian eleven defeated the fast Cornell university eleven at Ithaca, N. Y., Saturday in the hardest fought contest of the season, 7 to 0. Getting the ball on the 40-yard line after about five minutes of play, the Indians sent Gooseback through the line for twenty yards; three more plunges and the pigskin was across the line for the only touchdown. Carlow kicked goal. From then on it was a stubborn fight, neither side being able to get within striking distance and staying. Once in the second period the Cornell team was to the three yard line. Here Welch broke their hopes of scoring, for he made a pretty leap and intercepted a forward pass. Again in the third period Cornell got to the one foot line only to see the red men brace and hurl them back for a loss. From the ten yard line in the last period with only a few minutes to play Cornell tried a forward pass which went over but was thrown poorly and their chances ended. The Carlisle gains were made through the line and on end runs.
Dade Used as Quarter
Rain last week on their practice days threw the Lincoln back and the result that, Mr. Riddle, the star quarter, decided to hurriedly return South caused an eleventh hour change and Dade was used at quarter. The switch was anything but satisfactory to Coach Motley. They went to Forest Park to play the Tigers, champions of that section of the city, and were defeated 37 to 0, holding the Tigers to one touchdown less than the Dunbars did. Everything went wrong. The result is that Lincoln wants a good quarter to fill the place of Riddle.

THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO.
(Continued from page 1.)
(Continued from page 1.)
not even begun to realize its awful importance to them. Terrorism never yet settled anything permanently. Only cold, hard justice can do that. The Negro's intelligence is growing in the South and hastening there to an awful moment when the two races shall stand fronting each other in open conflict—the one contemptuous, confident of being in the right and determined; the other race determined, desperate and revengeful. But that moment must never arrive.
It is absurd to blame the South for slavery. Slavery came to this country when it was recognized everywhere as proper and was salutory to both slave and master. It grew imperceptibly into an institution. Through an accident of invention almost over night it became a necessity to the welfare of the cotton raiser. Before that the sentiment of the South was against it. In 1861, with one blow, the property and prosperity of the Southern states were crushed. Put yourself in the Southerner's place. His attitude today would be your attitude under like circumstances. It is our attitude in the North, only differing in degree, not in kind. But the time has come for big, brave men and women, North and South, to do something. I hold no brief for the Negro. I recognize in many faults. The traits inbred and inbred again through generations cannot be gotten out of the blood in a day. All I ask for him is justice—simple justice. Nobody is seeking for freedom of social intercourse with the Negro. He himself knows that impossible. But I believe that unreasoning prejudice should not prevent any woman or man in this country from filling any position he is able to fill—that every citizen may have freedom to freely use every gift with which God has endowed him. There is only one cure for this evil, and that is the fine eternal heaven-sent panacea for every social ill—pure, even handed justice. The solution of the problem is not impossible. Some one has said that looking history through evil is only good in the making. As Emerson says, "Through the years and the centuries, through evil agents, through toys and atoms a great and beneficent tendency irresistibly streams."
The South had the question settled once and the North unsettled it. I think the highest minded, finest matured people in the world today live in this country below the Mason and Dixon line. I sometimes think that the oak of American manhood and the rose of American womanhood grew best there. Their point of view is at present almost the irresistible attitude of their history and situation. Still, it is terribly unjust and, therefore, temporary.
I propose three things: First, that we try to rid ourselves of unjust prejudices against the Negro, that heavy task accomplished; second, that we strive to influence our fellow citizens in the same direction; third, that we shall endeavor to obtain a National Commission composed mostly of white men, North and South, to take evidence and devise remedies for this impossible situation.

LA GRANGE ILL.

[Special to The Chicago Defender.]
La Grange, Ill., Oct. 15.—The members of the Second Baptist Church have decided to erect a substantial brick church instead of a frame structure, as first planned. The same will be fireproof and will cost about $3,000. The Congregational church has donated twelve pews to the Baptist church, and they were received with great appreciation. Building operations will begin just as soon as bids are offered. The Second Baptist Church thanks the president and members of the Progressive Sunday Club for their donation in the rally last Sunday.

Real Football Player Is Thinking Every Minute of Game.
Rule Which Allows Punting Anywhere Behind Scrimmage Line Permits Revival—Officials Must Watch the Ball Closely.
With the playing of the opening games of the 1913 football season, close followers of the game, especially those who played under the old rules, are watching with interest the manner in which the players take advantage of the rules, some of which permit foxy players to "pull off" the unexpected if certain plays are used at the proper time.
Although the rules have not been changed to any great extent, there are many ways in which a heady player can keep his team out of danger by carefully sizing up the situation and ascertaining the plays which might work the best when his team is crowded near his own goal line. A real football player is thinking and scheming all the time, and it is this type who generally makes a name for himself.
The rule which states that when a forward pass is thrown out of bounds before striking the ground in the field of play the ball shall go to the opponents at the point where it crossed the sideline, is one which has not been taken advantage of enough. There are many players in a squad who can hurl the oval 40 or 60 yards with the accuracy of a baseball. If a coach is fortunate enough to have such a player this man should be carried along for this specialty.
Under the ruling which allows a resubstitution of a player at the beginning of the second and third quarters and at any time during the final period, a player who can throw the ball out of bounds 30 or 40 yards down the field is a valuable asset. If a team is close pressed and finally takes the ball away from its opponents on the one or two yard line, the natural thing to do is to punt the ball as far out of danger as possible.
In striking contrast to this method of preventing a team from scoring would be the sure, safe method of throwing the ball out of bounds 30 or 40 yards down the field. Even if the wind were blowing against the oval the passer would get more distance to his throw than a kicker, for the simple reason that the ball is thrown in a spiral fashion, thus allowing the ball to bore through the air and with a definite direction. The defensive team has no chance of receiving a free trial at the goal, and there is no chance of the catcher running the ball any distance.
This play was used sparingly last season, especially in the early stages. Near the close of the year the coaches used it more, and soon discovered the value of a man who could throw the oval a long distance with accuracy. The preliminary practice every season is devoted to kicking and throwing the oval, and the coaches now should have a good line on the men who are most adept in handling the ball.
The change in the rules which allows the ball to be kicked from any point back of the scrimmage line is sure to bring back the on-side kick, considered by many to be one of the most valuable ground gaining plays.
As the rule this season permits the kicker to boot the oval from any position, the old on-side kick is sure to come back into its own and be used a great deal. The play will be all the more valuable because the ball is free property the moment it strikes the ground, whereas in the old days the oval had to be touched by an opponent before one of the kicking side could recover it. As a result there is going to be plenty of scrambling for the ball, so the officials will have to be on top of the play all the time to award the oval to its logical owner.
Although these plays should come in for a lot of consideration by coaches and players, there are other points which are of invaluable assistance to a team if the players carry out instructions. The point regarding a player stepping out of bounds or fighting to cross the side line when he is cornered is a most important one. When a team in possession of the ball is crowded within two yards from the side line the offensive eleven is in a "hole" and its chances of gaining ground mightly elim.
The players always should remember to fight to get out of bounds when tackled close to the boundary. It is almost impossible to gain ground on the wing close to the side line and it is almost as hard to make any headway on the wide side because the defense is shifted over to meet an expected attack. If a team is forced against the boundary it is much better to lose a down by sending a play out of bounds than it is to try to gain through the line or on the wide side.
Think Term Unfair
A letter writer questions the use of the term "Big Three" as applied to Harvard, Yale and Princeton. He thinks it unfair to Penn, Cornell and Dartmouth. Its origin dates from 1874, when Harvard took up the game and the triangular tournament came into existence, Princeton having adopted the game in 1869 and Yale in 1872. Penn did not take up the game until 1876, Dartmouth in 1882 and Cornell in 1887.
Reward for Maranville
President Gaffney of the Boston Braves says that when his contracts for 1914 are made out Shortstop Maranville will get the biggest increase in pay. Maranville's salary this season has been but $1,800. He likely will get $3,000. And it is said for him that he has never intimated that he ought to have a raise.
Mack Wants Felton.
Manager Connie Mack, usually regarded as a most conservative bidder for ball-playing talent, recently made a record offer of $15,000 a year to Sam Felton a Harvard college pitcher. Felton is also a star quarterback in football. He has a small fortune in his own right and turned down the Macklan offer.
THE CHICAGO DEFENDERS
DAUGHTER OF WARDEN
By CLARENCE FISHER.
The life prisoner was little more than a boy in years. To Mollie, the daughter of the warden, he had the saddest and most interesting face that she had ever seen. She had seen him twice, when she had gone into her father's office while the convicts were exercising in the prison yard outside. She asked him about the man.
"Jeff Lowndes?" Inquired - the old warden, frowning. "You'd best not interest yourself in him. Mollie. There's other 'ilfers' may get their sentences commuted some day, but he never will."
"What did he do, father?" asked the girl.
"He murdered a man in cold blood, Moll, dear. Cut his enemy's throat while he lay sleeping, because he had been unable to meet his mortgage and save his mother's farm. Poor woman! She died before the verdict was rendered, confident of her son's acquital."
"He doesn't look like a murderer, father," said Moll.
But it was morbid to let her thoughts dwell on any of the prisoners. Why was she thinking of him tonight as she crouched beside the upper window, watching keenly the winding road that led to Hatters? Downstairs her father sat before the prison gates, his rifle across his knees. There had been ominous rumors in town of a lynching party, to kill the negro who now cowered in the furthest cell of the prison, charged with an unspeakable crime. But old Warden Davis was of stern stuff and he had let it be known that he would lose his life before he lost his prisoner. However, he had telephoned to the capital for a militia company.
Something stirred along the winding road and the low, muttering mur-
A man in a striped shirt is holding a rifle and aiming it at a woman in a white shirt. The woman is standing behind the man, looking at him.
"Turn Back or I Fire!"
mur of an angry mob came to the girl faintly. She flew downstairs.
"Father, they're coming!" she exclaimed.
"Go back to the house, Moll," he answered sternly.
"But they'll kill you!" she cried.
"They won't get Washington," answered the old warden. "At least, not till they do me. Get back, girl!"
Mollie dared not disobey. She waited at the office door. The warden was alone, for the six guards had all joined the mob. It would have been worth their lives to have offered resistance. And they too were imbued with the strong sentiment of vengeance upon the black criminal.
The murmur swelled into a din and a mob of men came racing up the road that led to the prison. Many were masked, and in their hands they carried heavy beams, capable of flattering in the oaken doors. The warden stood facing them.
"Give up, Davis," yelled the foremost of them. "Give up that nigger and you can go free. We ain't got nothing against you."
Warden Davis deliberately arose and drew a line in the mud with his boot toe. When he closed one-half of the gate slowly, calmly.
"The first man that sets food across that line I'll shoot," said Davis, raising his rifle.
The man who had addressed him halted irresolutely.
"I know you, Simms, for all your mask," said the warden. "Now boys, are you going to follow that man to your death? Go home, you fool."
Suddenly there came a revolver crack from the mob and the old man pitched forward, struggled to rise, and sank back with a groan. His knee was shattered. The rifle had fallen from his hand and he made frantic, futile efforts to regain it. At the sound of the shot.Mollie had sprung to her father's side. She snatched the rifle and, pointing it at Simms, fired. The man reeled and fell. The mob shrank back and in an instant she had dragged her father inside the gate and closed it. Next moment she was carrying him, panting under his weight, into the house, while the crowd hammered in fury upon the gates.
"They'll last five minutes," Davis muttered, and relapsed into unconsciousness.
Upon the wall of the office hung the keys. Acting now by blind instinct, Mollie seized the heaviest of all, the key which opened the door of Lowndes' cell. She ran down the sagged passage, gasping. The key clicked in the lock, and the convict, rose in astonishment to see the girl standing there.
"Come!" she cried, and ran back. As Lowndes followed her he heard, the thud of wood upon wood and the thumpish yells of the mob as the
gates splintered before the blows of
their beams.
The girl dragged him into the office and flung the shutters close and barred the door. She thrust the rifle into his hands. "You'll save my father?" she cried. "I trust you. They are maddened now by the sight of blood, but they shall never set foot in here as long as I live."
"Or I," he answered, and, kneeling beside the window, opened a chink in the shutters' and thrust the rifle forth. The leaders looked into it as they ran yelling forward. They knew that their revolver bullets were powerless against the strong window beams.
"Turn back or I fire!" cried the convict. As they paused he knew that he had them at his mercy. The mob instinct of fear had conquered, that of hate. They halted and the courage was gone out of them. He flung the shutters wide and rose to his feet.
"Fling down your weapons!" he shouted.
They saw the tall figure in convict's stripes and the gleaming barrel leveled on them. Sullenly they obeyed and withdrew toward the gate. Then from beyond the road a trampling was heard. Gray-coated men came at the double toward the prison. It was the militia company from the capital. A moment later and the last of the assailants was racing to safety. Two officers bore the man who had been shot into the office and placed him at the warden's side. The elder man opened his eyes.
"Thank God, warden, we came in time," said the commanding officer. "What have they done to you? A knee wound? You'll be up and around in a week, man. But as for him—" Simms moaned and struggled into a sitting posture; his head resting against the officer's shoulder. He was shot through the body; he could not live an hour.
"I-want—to tell—you—" he muttered, and then his eyes met those of the convict's. The two men stared fixedly at each other. Simms uttered a groan.
"Listen—before I die," he gasped.
"He's not—gulty. I—shot-Bert Smith. We had a feud. I—put the knife beside—Lowndes' bed while he—slept. He's—innocent. I—"
His head fell back and an instant later he sighed, the eyelids fluttered and closed. The officer rose.
"He's dead," he said.
But even in that moment an unquenchable joy rose up in the girl's heart as she met Lowndes' eyes and knew that the promptings of her heart had not been in vain.

OLD COINS AND BONES FOUND
Thought to Be Relics of French Naval Expedition of American History of 1746.
Within the last few years parts of human skeletons and old coins have been washed out on the beach at Spermaceto cave near the old, Highlands. The bones and other relics come from Skeleton hill. The winds and tides acting on the base of the hill cause the land at the top to slide down to the beach, thus unearthing the bones and other relics.
Although many stories are told of how the bodies came to be there, the one receiving the most credence is that the men were part of the expedition sent out by France to avenge the capture of Louisburg by the colonists and English troops. This expedition left France in 1746. During the voyage several of the warships carrying the troops were wrecked. Later a pestilence broke out among the crew, killing hundreds of men. The admiral in command, in despair, committed suicide, as did his successor. It was planned to attack the colonists in Massachusetts and then to devastate all the settlements as far as Georgia. Most of the coins found were dated about the time this expedition started. It is generally thought that the bodies found were those who died from the plague and were buried by their shipmates.
Skeleton hill is owned by the government. No one is allowed on the property without a permit. But for this fact the place, no doubt, would have been du, up long ago by treasure hunters...new Jersey correspondence New York Times.
Women Botanists of England.
Women Botanists of England. There are many earnest women botanical students, but to Miss Ethel Sargant, one of the most noted, belongs the signal honor of being the first woman to be appointed president of the botanical section for the meeting of the British association, which is to be held next September in Birmingham. Miss Ethel Sargant, who gave last year an advance course of botanical lectures to the London University, was one of the first elected women fellows of the Linnaean society, and she also served on its council for some four years. As the author of many pamphlets relating to botanical subjects, such as microscopic vegetable anatomy and of seedlings, she has acquired considerable fame. Another woman botanist of note is Miss Stopes, who received a grant from the Royal society for her excellent research work in Japan, and Thomas, Miss Dawson, Miss Fraser and Miss Lorrain Smith are among others engaged in special botanical work of a serious kind.—Sphere, London.
Few Grizzly Bears Left
A report issued by the state fish and game commission says there is a scarcity of grizzly bears in California, there not being more than a half-dozen known to be left of all the hundreds that used to roam the Sierras. The statement is also made that 30,000 deer are killed annually in the state, 10,000 by hunters and the remainder by mountain lions, coyotes, and other animals that prey on them.

Manager—That'll be easy. Take down that rear exit sign, post up the word "Free" and they'll all bolt for it—Judge.
