HON. GEORGE W. ELLIS, formerly secretary to the American Legation to Liberia and a leading attorney of the city, had the following to say: "I have read the address of Judge Kavanagh in full which appeared in last week's issue of The Defender with a great deal of pleasure and increasing interest. I regard it as perhaps the most significant made in recent years in Chicago upon the industrial and general injustice of the whites towards the blacks. The address is significant in that it is an appeal to humanity and to the highest moral sense in man to be just to his fellows. It is remarkable in the fine and splendid courage which was required to take the position maintained by the speaker. The address will be significant of great public service in that it is a warning to the white man against industrial slavery to the Negro as the voices of Garrison and Phillips foretold the awful penalties of the Civil War. It is hoped that the address in full will have a wide circulation among the white people who need so much instruction in this question for their own good and much of which is contained in Judge Kavanagh's address. It would be very difficult to find a colored paper in the country comparable with The Chicago Defender in the technique and the splendid arrangement and contents of its subjects. It has rendered Negro journalism great service by the manner it emphasizes the dominate facts and features in its pages. But perhaps its greatest service is its fearless manner in defending what it believes to be the right and liberties of the Negro peoples. It deserves and it no doubt continues to receive the encouragement and support of the high minded and liberty loving people of both races." judge. Said Mr. Blinga: "Judge Marcus Kavanagh has sustained his reputation for justice and fair dealing to all mankind, irrespective of race, color or creed. Let us hope that his remarks will be an incentive to more men of prominence to follow the Cross." HON. EDWARD GREEN, formerly member of the Illinois Legislature, said: "From a humanitarian standpoint it had the proper ring. The lowly Nazarene on His entrance to the gates preached the same doctrine of 'Peace on earth, good will toward men.' As long as wrong contends against right there can be no peace. Just so long as the brother in white denies the brother in black equal rights before the law and his right to compete in the industrial field of labor—by this I mean an honest day's work for an honest day's pay—there will be contention and the country will be torn asunder with race antagonism." MR. M. RANKIN, 36th and State streets, said: "I am not surprised to read Judge Kavanagh's speech in The Defender, a paper that publishes all the news. He has always leaned toward the uplift of the Negro. He is fair and square on the rights of men, regardless of color." MR. WALLACE, the baker, said he read the speech from beginning to end and thought it a masterpiece and a "doctrine which the whites must face sooner or later." MR. W. E. MARTIN, a clerk in the post office, called at The Defender office and eloquently proclaimed the power and influence of The Defender and said the address of Judge Kavanagh was wonderful. MRS. MONROE MANNING, 3524 Calumet avenue, said to Defender reporter: "I read the address of Judge Kavanagh twice and I told others about it, then I bought papers and sent them to friends all over the country. I wanted them to read the address of a modern Patrick Henry. The judge is an ideal citizen and a great jurist—his speech will ever be lauded by the people of my race." DR. E. S. MILLER, speaking of Judge Kavanagh, said: "He takes high ground and deserves the highest praise for so holdly and bravely discussing such a timely subject. He was not playing to the galleries, for not a Negro was present to hear him. He is not a candidate for office or seeking Negro vote. Such utterances of Judge Kavanagh's character and caliber will have a tendency to do great good." MISS ELIZABETH CLARK of the registry division of the post office, said: "I take the position that the judge struck the keynote that will solve this vexed race question and that it was a problem the whites will inevitably have to face sooner or later—the problem of economic justice toward the man of the brown or black skin. Judge Kavanagh may have uttered thoughts that may be considered by some unpopular, but he advanced great truths with which the thing people must agree. The right must prevail. I congratulate The Defender upon its able editorial on the fearless and honorable Judge Kavanagh." MR. WILLIAM D. NEIGHBORS said: "There is nothing new in the fact stated, nor in the sentiment expressed by Judge Kavanagh before the Irish Fellowship Club, but it is very unusual to hear of a white man with nerve and backbone to express the sentiment he feels, or even admit the gravity of the situation with respect to this government, a republic, having two races wholly out of sympathy, living under the same flag and, in theory at least, participating in governmental affairs. It is gratifying to know that there are such men as Judge Kavanagh." MR. W. M. O'NEALL: "Judge Kavanagh is the kind of citizen that this great commonwealth needs. Would to God that we had more of such noble characters. We thank him for the frank and fearless way in which he champloned us. We thank him for his manly views, and the courage he displayed in handling the white man's own problem. He offers the only sane and veritable panacea." GRAND SESSION OF ELKS IN SESSION AT COVINGTON, KY. Covington, Ky., Oct. 26.—The Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World will convene here October 28, 29 and 30, with B. F. Howard, grand exalted ruler, of this city, presiding. Delegates are expected here from all parts of the United States. A banquet will be tendered the visitors on next Thursday night. A big delegation will be here from Chicago, ill. MR. WILLIAM ADAMS, the merchant tailor of 2939 State street, said: "I consider the address of Judge Marcus Kavanagh one of the greatest speeches in behalf of my people I have read for many a year and the distinguished jurist deserves great credit for his manly and liberal utterance at such an opportune time. It was a plea that will be ever remembered by race and The Chicago Defender deserves great credit for publishing it in full." CHICAGOAN CALLED TO KANSAS CITY Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 24.—Mrs Jeanette Wiley of 3622 Calumet ave. Chicago, Ill., is here to be at the bed side of her sick brother. He is im proving. MR. JESSE BINGA, the banker at 36th place and State street, was greatly enthused over the speech of the Chicago, I side of he proving. --- The Chicago Defender. (Continued on page 7.) CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY,'OCTOBER 25, 1913. The Best Our Dailies Can Do To Defend and Uplift The Afro-American BALTIMORE—Segregation and other alleged discriminations against the negro were denounced by Owrend Garrison Villard, president of the New York Evening Post, and other speakers at a mass meeting here under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. But when a colored man tries to protect the virtue of womanhood or *p*otet his home the daily papers of the United States give page after page and send out to the world damnable rot, as the Jones boys in Mississippi, which was published in "The News of the World," a London paper devoted 15 inches to the subject, giving to sat country, as well as Australia, France and Germany, one side of the subject, not telling the way the Southern whites are treating American citizens who forget to protect the flag and to preserve the Union.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 24.—Dr. George Washington Buckner, Minister Resident and Consul General of the United States at Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa, sailed from New York Thursday for his new post of duty. He had been in Washington during the past month, receiving instructions on Liberian matters at the State Department. He addressed a number of meetings, religious, political and literary, and everywhere made an excellent impression by his unaffected manners and by the sensible and broad-minded view he took of all the problems in which the race is directly interested. He stands for right living and right 'looking for every American, and has no sympathy with personal bickerings, jealousies or factional alignments without rhyme or reason. Mrs. Anna Buckner, his wife, came on from his home in Evansville, Ind., to spend the latter portion of his "instruction period" with her husband. They were shown many social courtesies by the good people of the nation's capital. Mrs. Buckner and the children will remain in this country for the present at least. Dr. Buckner has no fears about the "African fever," and believes that the same conservative living that has kept him in good health for a half a century in Dailies Can Do To Dear The Afro-American BALTIMORE—Segregation and other alien discrimination against the negro were demanded by Oswald Garrison Villard, president of the New York Evening Post, and other speakers at a meeting here under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

The lower court decided against the plaintiff, and the supreme court must decide whether the Forest Home Cemetery Company of Chicago shall be required to sell a burial lot to John B. Gaskill, a colored man. The body of Gaskill's wife, who died in March, 1912, still reposes in a temporary receiving vault. Four of Gaskill's children are buried in the Forest Home cemetery.

Abolishing the Dirty Word Applied Only to Afro-American Women in the South—White Men and Women Only Ones, Who Think the Name Unbecoming Free Americans—Negroes a Drawback to Themselves—The Race Cannot Rise Higher Than Its Women—When They Refuse to Lift the Damnable Riotic of Slavery Days Off the Heads of Our Unborn, Then They Are Not Fit to Teach Our Children. When Napoleon Said to His Generals: "France Needs True and Brave Mothers," We Can Say the Afro-American Race Needs Teachers Who Will Be Living Examples for Their Charges, Teaching Their Children That Self-sacrifice Is Godly, and Even if it Costs the Loss of a Job, the Honor of Race and Country Is More Than a Few Paltry Dollars—Had This Incident Happened Outside of a College Town, We Could See the Point, But Under the Shadow of Fisk We Are Sure That Not One of Them Were Fisk Graduates. THE NEW DANCE "THE MAXIXIE" THE NEW DANCE "THE MAXIXIE" The Douglas Dancing Academy has arranged to give its patrons the first lesson in "The Maxiexie" dance, which is the leading dance of the Afro-South Americans, brought to this country by one of Chicago's leading white dancing masters. Hallowe'en night at 40th and State streets. Nashville Teachers Not Understood. We are reliably informed that the colored teachers of the public schools during the visit of Otis Gans Fletcher to the city of Nashville, Tenn., were guilty of gross negligence of their duty to themselves and their race, or they are moral cowards who feared to take a manly or womanly stand in the defence of the race of people whom they have for some cause or other been chosen to lead. We are informed that each colored teacher of the public schools of Nashville, Tenn., was individually solicited by Mr. Fletcher to indorse a petition that he is circulating which has for its object the elimination of the term wench from all text books and dictionaries used in the United States of America, or its application to be so changed as to apply alike to the womanhood of all races, and not to the entire womanhood of the Negro race in the United States, and only one colored teacher out of the ninety odd that were solicited responded. Such negligence, such cowardice and such leadership is not calculated to build a strong race of people. The public in general knows or will know of the stand that you took with reference to this all important matter, and it is up to you to explain to your people why you ignored and refused to do for yourselves and your race the thing that the dean of Meharry Institute, the dean of Fisk university, and the principal of the Nashville Institute (all white) took pleasure in doing for our people. Now, dear teacher, you should know that it is your duty to lay aside selfishness and cowardice, and put on the armour of courage and duty and help bear the burdens of the race. You are known as representatives of race leadership, and you should earnestly serve as such. Do not get it into your head that your superiors will think more of you if you fail to manifest an interest in the things vital to your race's best interests. No! No real man respects a coward. Arouse ye to a sense of your duty; take hold of and promote those things that mean for the uplift of your people. Only such leadership will in the future be acceptable to the people. LADY.ELKS LEAVE FOR GRAND SESSION Mrs. Mame Pegg Irvin of 3520 Prairie avenue will leave Monday mornings for Covington, Ky., as a delegate of the Lady Elks.

SOCIALISM DISCUSSED AT METROPOLITAN CHURCH Bethel Historical Literary Society. (Special to the Defender) Washington, D. C., Oct. 24.—That Socialism is being studied with interest by the colored people of the nation was strikingly illustrated by the large audience which came out to Metropolitan A.

Louisville, Ky., Oct. 24.—Colored voters of this city, and especially the Tenth ward, known as the "black belt," are making strenuous efforts to elect Editor Lee L.

Plummer Lewis, an old soldier, has organized an old soldiers' club to work on election day in Brown's interest. Celebrates Twenty-second Birthday Anniversary at Masonic Hall. Last Monday evening a large crowd was present at the twenty-second annual dance of the Manassa Society at Masonic hall, Fortieth and State streets.

Williams, vice president; Anna Wagoner, recording secretary; Mrs. K. Lee, secretary. The society is still growing and never fails to celebrate their birthday anniversary. MONSTER MASSMEETING. Dr. Washington and Rev. Carey Desliver Able Addresses. Last Sunday the citizens of Chicago voiced their sympathy for the Jewish residents of Kiev, Russia, who every day live in fear of another massacre as the result of the sentiment stirred up among ignorant Russians by the government prosecution of the charge of ritual murder against Mendel Belliss. Two theaters down town were packed and thousands were turned away. The speakers included Judge W. O. Brown, Jenkin Lloyd Jones, D. D.; Booker T. Washington, Rev. A. J. Carey, and Emil G. Hirsch. Dr. Washington and Dr. Carey delivered telling addresses and were the most enthusiastically received. JULIUS SEALS AN EDITOK A Chicago Boy Becomes Managing Editor of the Colored Man.

Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 24—The Constitutional League of the United States has issued a memorial to President Wilson urging that his administration retrain from being unfair, unjust and humiliating toward the Negro. Says the important portion of the appeal; "At the moment when all should be quiet on the Potomac, I do not think it will be altogether a surprise to you for me to say that the colored people of the United States are more wrought up and alarmed at this time over their rights and liberties than at any period since their emancipation. This is due: 1. To the removal of competent colored men from offices in several of the states which they had filled by national appointment for years. 2. The removal of competent colored men from offices held under national appointment in Washington. 3. The refusal to appoint colored men to diplomatic posts which had for more than a generation been held by members of the race. 4. The degradation imposed on colored men and women in several of the departments of the government through the practice of segregation and "Jim Crowism," colored clerks being taken from desks and from rooms and segregated; colored clerks being denied equal use of the lunch counters, the lockers, toilets, etc. Such discriminations against equal citizens are extremely humiliating and degrading and destructive of the fundamental law. The letter and spirit of the constitution of the United States prohibit discrimination on account of race or color. Discrimination, then, whether against white or colored, is unlawful. These discriminations and degradations so flagrantly imposed on the Negro people have brought the race issue again before the country in its most acute form."

Miss Mary Henley and Miss Maggie Brown were two dear old ladies who lived together in a tiny house at the edge of the city. Miss Mary had made wedding gowns for young woman of her own age in her youth, and she went on making dainty baby things for the children of the brides, and later, debutante gowns and wedding dresses for these same children. Always cheery, always interested, never seeming to miss the joy of life that came not to her, quiet content to know all things vicariously, she was an institution in many homes, where "Miss Mary's days" were as much a part of the household regime as the weekly sweeping days. Miss Maggie was "not strong." That was the way she and Miss Mary talked of the half invalidism that made Miss Maggie unable to partake in Miss Mary's labors. But that lack of strength did not prevent Miss Maggie from doing many things which red-checked girls with bounding blood in their veins could not have done. A certain wealthy woman, one of Miss Mary's patrons, contributed a small amount to the support of the home each month, in addition to her payments for Miss Mary's labor, and the two lived comfortably, and attained a reputation for charitable works. Was there a bazar in the little church? Miss Mary's needlework was sure to fill the table and Miss Maggie's cakes were sure to be the most delicious and the first sold. Did a beggar come to the door? There was always food, clothing and a word of cheer for him. The clothing? Oh yes! Miss Maggie had no pride or blance thereof. She went, quite as a matter of course, to richer households and begged frankly, for cast-off clothing for her "poor people," and she got it and gave it, with a kindly injunction, a bit of encouragement or a quoted text, as need seemed to demand. If it be true that vagrants have their code carved and chalked on doors and gates, certainly the gate of their thy yard must have been cut to pieces or marked beyond need of paint. But peaceful years brought a grief to these two. The pastor of their church, beloved of them for 20 years, died, and his widow moved elsewhere. Replacing him, finally, after trials, the Rev. James Martin, elderly, and, strange to say, a bachelor, for a wife is more than a wife to a minister. She is a necessity of life, a thing taken for granted. No one could surmise why the Rev. Martin had never married, though many tried. His kindly manner, his gentle helplessness in things material and his deeply spiritual sermons quite won the hearts of the flock, and more brilliant aspirants were forgotten in the general demand for the gentle little man who taught such sweetly comforting doctrines. The Rev. Martin took up his abode in the parsonage and found a housekeeper. But somehow, the housekeeper, though zealous, and quite proud of her position, seemed to omit many of the little attentions that naturally belonged to one ministering to the needs of a man of God. There was a certain shabbiness about the attire of the devout preacher, a certain gauntness of cheek and whiteness of slender hand that made these two maiden ladies, especially, ache for his welfare. They entered into council, appealed to the heads of the church, and finally it was arranged that the parsonage should be let, and the minister should live with Miss Mary and Miss Maggie. Here the little front parlor became his study, past the door of which Miss Maggie tiptoed, finger on lip, when the doorbell rang. Nourished by Miss Maggie's delicious tidbits, his clothes kept in immaculate order by Miss Mary's careful fingers, the pastor became plumper, and developed a tendency toward the making of mild jokes. His improved garb seemed to give an assurance he had lacked before, and his sermons became not only consolation for the elders and the weary, but inspiration for the young and glowing. Miss Mary sang over her work like a canary, and Miss Maggie's severe garb became frilly at neck and wrists and enlivened by bows of colored ribbon. They bought flowers and real magazines, went to picture shows together now and then, and laughed together like young schoolgirls over their household tasks. One day Miss Mary was fitting a froth of lace and silk over a bride-to-be. The bride, before the glass, looked at herself, and then at the little brown lady before her, on her knees. The contrast woke something new in the girl's heart and she leaned over and kissed Miss Mary's softly wrinkled cheek. Miss Mary looked up, startled for an instant, and then comprehending. "I know just how you feel, dear—bless your heart! I hope you'll be as happy as we are always." The little bride looked her wonder. "You see, Maggie and I have each other, and we know what love is," said Miss Mary, as if that settled the matter, and in a flash the little bride understood. Willie's Education. Willie—"Say, Pa, you ought to see the men across the street raise a house on jacks." Pa (absently)—"Impossible, Willie. You can open on jacks, but a man is a fool to try to raise on them—or that—is I—mean, it must have been quite a sight." Little Doubt About That The sexton had been laying the new carpet on the pulit platform, and had left a number of tacks scattered on the floor. "See here, James," said the parson, "what do you suppose would happen if I stepped on one of those tacks right in the middle of my sermon?" "Well, sir," replied the sexton, "I reckon there'd be one point you wouldn't linger on." "To compose a good drinking song you want a rest in every bar."-Patterlogues, by George Arthurs.

CHURCH DIRECTORY. A GOOD-NIGHT KISS. I lost my temper and for this She failed to get her good-night kiss. I bade her go, she ran upstairs, Knelt by the bed and said her prayers. I followed—though she never knew— And heard "God bless dear papa, too." Every winter is hard if you haven't prepared for it. Window shopping on the "Stroll" is becoming quite the fad. Put away your "September Morn" costumes till next season. Are you a member of the new Matrimonial Club? If not, why not? As the country papers would say, "Booker T. Washington Sundayed in our town." Now that Mrs. Pankhurst has landed better put the shutters up and be on the safe side. These are days when fancy hosiery are displayed other places than in shop windows. What this city needs is two or three good colored aldermen—one at a time gentlemen, Mr. (?) has the floor. Just to remind you that an ad in the Defender brings results, if you don't believe it try for yourself. While we haven't any particular objections to snow, we must admit we don't like the suddenness of it all. Perhaps it will be necessary to get a search warrant to find that appropriation for the new Eighth Regiment Armory. That last winter's overcoat doesn't feel half bad, and looks better than we thought, especially after we have priced a new one. If we were as clannish and as loyal to each other as the Jews are, what a power we could be. If though com-posed of only two letters is a mighty big word. Nashville, Tenn., has a club of men who style themselves "Boosters" and they are all the name implies. Chicago would gladly exchange some of our knockers for the other variety. Maj. Gen. R. R. Jackson surely cannot be visiting the eastern expositions to get pointers. The west knows The exposition opened in Baltimore on the 22d and many creditable exhibits are shown. Just what effect this display of progress will have on this near-Russian city remains to be seen. When it comes to speakers who can deliver the goods Chicago doesn't take a back seat for anybody, and among those always counted present we respectfully submit the name of Rev. A. J. Carey. Joy riding isn't such a pleasant pastime since the fast driving ordinance is being so strictly enforced, and explanations to the judge the next morning fail to explain. We are glad something has put a quietus on these reckless chauffeurs before they killed or malmed the whole town. A novel way of raising funds was adopted in Dayton, Ohio. Every colored man there is asked to contribute one cent per day for one year, the proceeds to purchase a farm where dependent families may become self-supporting. It is gratifying to see that "help thy brother" feeling taking hold of the people. Since the widows of the late William Henry Lee, the wealthy publisher, have been so unsuccessful in establishing their claims, other and more distant relatives are looming up in the distance. Keep the good work up—some one some place must have been related to him—and think of the money. Sarah Rector is but sixteen years of age and has an income of $100,000 a year. Walter Anderson, the enterprising real estate dealer, feels like she needs some good young man like himself to care for her and incidentally the $100,000. The lady in question lives in Oklahoma, but Walter doesn't mind walking. "Everybody's doing it." At a meeting of the Moulders International Union, an organization which by the way has always excluded the Negro, a delegate declared, "If we do not raise the colored worker to our standard he will drag us down to his; his interests are identical with ours, so do not let race prejudice warp your judgment." This is excellent and timely advice. Other organizations kindly take notice. Since the city of Baltimore passed the segregation ordinance so easily the county is trying to follow suit. They are objecting to Morgan College locating within their boundary lines and at a mass meeting adopted a resolution to be presented to the next session of the state legislature, which in principle is identical with the ordinance passed in the city. The county is to be divided up in checker board fashion, only the blacks will be jumped if they attempt to move. It may take a little time, but the colored brother will eventually reach the king row. WORK VS IDLENESS WORK VS. IDLENESS. The New York Pleiscany recognizes that the colored people of the South have contributed largely to the wealth of that section, but they urge that they do not forget that they are bound to continued toll as all good citizens are; that they do not forget that emancipation did not mean from work mental or physical, and like all others they must give in order to receive. There is a shiftless element in the South that makes it hard for those who are trying to be honest worthy members of society, and this is the only discouraging element in the situation. There is no excuse for idleness for every avenue there is open both for the skilled and unskilled laborer, a condition which unfortunately does not prevail in the North. If everyone that could work was at work there would be very little time to discuss the race problem. A FITTING EXAMPLE Probably no more than fifteen years ago Mr. Emmett J. Scott was a news-paper man in Texas. He had a "nosec" for news, a well trained mind and his writings attracted Dr. Booker T. Washington. He was given a place at Tuskegee and soon became the private secretary of the noted educator; then his executive secretary and a few years ago was elected secretary of the institute. This is the remarkable record of what a young man with ambition and preparation has accomplished in a few years. Mr. Scott was singularly fitted for the position which he now holds and his appointment is a constant witness of Mr. Washington's sagacity. Under Mr. Washington's tutelage Mr. Scott is able to keep Tuskegee in its splendid condition during the principal's absence. Not only has he made a brilliant success at the institute but he has been a large factor in the success of the National Negro Business Men's League. One of the most signal honors to come to Mr. Scott was his appointment by the President of these United States as one of the three commissioners to study the people of Liberia. Let our young men pattern after Mr. Scott and maybe they too can leave their present plain for one higher; there is always room at the top for the man who dares and does. OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD Those who were fortunate enough to hear Oswald Garrison Villard of New York speak in Baltimore against the proposed segregation ordinance will never forget how vividly the painful truths were brought home to the American people. He omitted nothing, a spade was called a spade, Baltimore was a disgrace and should not be considered an integral part of a civilized country. President Wilson and certain members of his cabinet came under the lash and well they might, having recently set an example of discrimination in the departments at Washington that no country in the world save Russia would stoop to do. There seems to be but one defined policy that the present administration has and that is the policy founded on fanaticism of crushing a weaker race. This fanaticism is but a form of gt- gantic egotism; it insists on substituting its own valuation for the valuation of Providence. This living for today and forgetting that there will be a tomorrow has its drawbacks, and as Mr. Villard says, "Those who in this day and generation are seeking to establish two classes of citizens, the disfranchised and enfranchised, to say that there shall be two kinds of government employees—they are on the high road to convulsing anew this land of liberty, which will never know peace and quiet as long as there are discriminations among its citizens." Mr. Villard's whole heart and soul is in the herculean task of getting justice for an oppressed people. He is a big broad man in every way and when he speaks he immediately arrests the attention of men of large vision, men who possess a normal amount of human interest. And it is to such men and women that we must appeal if we would hope to accomplish anything. NIGHT SCHOOLS The scene at Wendell Phillips High School is but one of many that is nightly enacted in the big city of Chicago. Here from seven-thirty to ninety-thirty can be found students from six to sixty earnestly and eagerly seeking knowledge, the one thing that makes us what we are. Every branch of practical and theoretical work is taken up. The housewife finds classes in advanced cooking, dressmaking, millinery and the care of children. The husband, bookkeeping and business methods. For the girl and boy the courses are unlimited, music, art, the languages, stenography, dietetics, gymnastics and everything essential in the world today. And all of this too merely for the asking. Education is life and we are never too young or too old to seek and grasp it. Men and women with locks of gray nightly vie with lads and lassies in their teens for efficiency marks in their studies. The old fallacy that it is a disgrace to go to school after a certain age is reached is obsolete, and there is no prettier sight than to watch the their arms romping—we say it advisely romping—as they wend their way homeward. And in Wendell Phillips School, we speak of this school as it is the closest to our people, especially can be found many of the most representative members of our race, and the number is fast increasing. Here right at your door, is what you have been seeking for, what the world requires you to have if you would succeed, and there is no excuse for not taking advantage of it. The hours are timely and the price—nothing—is within the reach of all. The winter is upon us and there is no better or more profitable place to spend the evenings than in the school room. These night schools are not being maintained for any abstract or imported doctrine, but for the training of boys and girls of older growth to those propensities of mind and body which will enrich the city with sane and efficient workers for its best interest. --- SIGNS OF THE TIMES It should be gratifying to the Negro in this country to read of such able men as Judge M. A. Kavanaugh and Dr. Dorsey and others. Fifty years ago the slave was liberated, cast out on the world, clothed in citizenship, the bullet placed in his hand, and told to go wherever he choose; without education or hardship or even the knowledge of the great responsibility placed upon him. What little home ties he knew of had previously been rent asunder; his family scattered by slave masters over the entire south. Since that time he has accumulated wealth and education and character; confronting on all sides his former master, who has profited by his labor the past two hundred and fifty years, depriving him of education and misused his confidence, and has taken advantage of his helpless ignorance, and yet, the Negro has made marvelous progress in education and financially. Today his former master has given up trying to take advantage of him in his illiteracy, because of the Negro's rapid strides in education. The Negro's enemy now is prejudice, and the only weapon left by which his former master can keep him in bondage. With the Negro's wealth he buys property among the northern friends. The southerner sows the seed of prejudice, especially among the races and nationalities that have been oppressed by the yoke of monarchy; painting to them the picture of their former country and comparing it with the Negro here, should the Negro be given a fair chance to live. It is not social equality that he fears, it is or must be the educational qualities that he is acquiring, also the property qualifications that he fears, because of his constant objections to the Negro buying property except in certain localities. Dr. Dorsey says the Negro race in this country must be absorbed by the white race. A trip through the rural districts of the south will bear him out; it will also show that the whites think nothing of taking advantage of the Negro girl of tender age; many of them having as many as six children without a legitimate father; none of them with legitimate fathers. The same conditions prevail in the country districts of the south today, as they did before the war. The great shame morally is the white fathers of Negro children. These fathers keep their children and their mothers penless as well as ignorant of the outside world. Many of these children have never seen a railroad, many of them do not see money from October till June. They are fed on rations furnished by some one; they know not who. It is gratifying to know that there is still a few broadminded men like Judge Kavanaugh, who realize the unique position occupied by the Negro and not so busy that they cannot notice his condition and recognize the struggle that we are making and the opposition that confronts us. We pray God for more such men. Bishops Nelson and Gallor, attending the triennial general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in days ago, said that the Negro "was an important that in thirty-five years the Negro had reduced the litterancy from 70 to 27 THE CHICAGO DEPENDER per cent, but his morality was the same as in slavery; that the salvation of the race was through the church; not by higher education, where he could compete with his white brother.

"Analysis of our edible weeds shows that they possess powerful medicinal qualities. The dandelion, for example, is replete with tonic salts and is aperient, besides being a natural liver medicine; the milkweed is a perfect tonic for the kidneys and a general cleanser of the system; the common yarrow is a good spring tonic for children; while red clover is one of the richest of all nitrogenous plants, and nitrogen is one of the most strengthening elements." —Farm and Fireside. Believe Flying Snakes Exist The belief in the existence of flying snakes is widely current in India, but few people profess to have seen them. It would be interesting to find out how the legend came into existence. These snakes are supposed to live on trees and make a flying dart at their victims. Snakes have been known to drop down trees and bite people but it is not these which are known as flying snakes in India. Care of Lingulum To improve linoleum that is beginning to show signs of wear. After the linoleum has been washed, without soap, and well dried, apply this dressing which gives a good gloss to the surface without making it slippery. Mix a gill of methylated spirits with an ounce of shellac, and when the shellac is dissolved apply to the linoleum with a soft flannel. It dries during the process of rubbing in, and keeps the polish, after it is washed. To Polish Windows There is no need to trouble about water and soap when cleaning a window. The easier way is to crush up a newspaper, dip it lightly in paraffin, and use as a polisher. The paraffin removes all dirt and stains very quickly, and the paper gives a splendid shine to the glass, which not only lasts a long time, but keeps flies from settling. Why Do They Do This? Miss Primp (who is forty-one)— "Yes, I was thirty only last week. Think of it!" The Caller (againthirty-seven, with charming insincerity)— "Dear me. I couldn't have guessed you were more than four years my senior. I will be twenty-five next month."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Courtesy. Simply Kindness. Courtesy Simply Kindness. Courtesy is doing that which nothing under the sun makes you do but human kindness. Courtesy springs from the heart; if the mind prompts the action, there is a reason; if there be a reason, it is not courtesy, for courtesy has no reason. Courtesy is good will; and good will is prompted by a heart full of love to be kind. Natural Reply. "I've described by symptoms thoroughly, haven't I doctor?" the patient asked.

Wilberforce Williams VENEREAL PLAGUES A Menace to You and All Humanity —The Twin Sexual Plague, Syphilis and Gonorrhea—The Bold, Ferocious Expressions of This Department —Writing Plainly —Calling Things by Their Common Name and Why—Noblecuse Oblige. We have been writing and trying to convey to the people certain information concerning two deadly diseases—syphilis and gonorrhea—for the last six weeks. We have received considerable criticism on the boldness of our expressions, and it is claimed that we have been ferocious and brutal in telling the truth, and the men and women are aroused, and are talking, and discussing the articles, behind closed doors, which have appeared in this column within the last six weeks and are much alarmed over the breaking of the criminal conspiracy of silence. We are pleased with this arousement and hope that the good people are so moved that they will in all future time place their taboo on "damaged goods" as it relates to the purity of the sex. And that it is to be hoped that the fear, light, knowledge, intelligence and the new awakening among the people may cause a revolt against the old customs and way in which we have been living heretefore. But, why be bold and tell the truth? Noblesse oblige. Man owes a duty to mankind. Man has obligations, and responsibilities that he must measure up to and shoulder. This is why. He who realizes that a disease more widely spread, more terrible in its ravages and devastation than any other known to civilization is threatening degeneracy and destruction to the whole human race; that the condition exists, and is becoming more and more alarming daily because of ignorance, fostered and encouraged by false notions, and a false delicacy which declines to discuss the subject, except behind closed doors; every man owes a duty to himself, to his family, and to the people in general to utter as loudly, as decently, as courageously, as boldly as he may the word of warning, encouragement to action by individuals, by clubs, by state, to bring about remedial measures to arrest and stamp out of existence, this terrible scourge to society. The average layman knows nothing of this terrible peril to society. Only within a few years that medical men, the pulpit, teachers and publicists in general have had the intelligence and the courage to speak out in uncertain terms to the people on this subject. This disease invades all grades of society. It is claimed that every fifth man, woman or child in New York City is or has been infected with venereal diseases and that 4,750 physicians chain that there are over 250,000 new cases every year in New York City. There are over 200,000 cases of venereal disease in the city of Chicago today. Fathers and Mothers. Now, fathers and mothers, if you want to know why we are speaking out so boldly against this demon out of the human race, this is my answer: Do you realize that your son has only one chance in five reaching adult age without being tainted or contaminated by the venereal curse? Do you realize that your beautiful daughter has only one in five, or seven chances, of marrying a man who has not been touched by a disease which may be communicated to, which may render her sterile, a confirmed invalid; that the children which may come into the family are handicapped or diseased for life? This condition, bad as it is, is growing worse daily because you and I have been ignorant or criminally silent on the extent of the peril or were lacking in conviction and courage to speak out in no uncertain terms to the people on these matters. Now, since we know of the dangers, shall we warn our children, our young people, our fellow beings, or brutally persist in silence and thus let them walk blindly into the pit dragging the race after them and destroy it? Extent of Syphilis. Do you know, dear friend, that syphilis alone is responsible for 90 per cent of the locomotor ataxia? For a large per cent of still born children and many premature deaths in children? For nearly all of the apoplexy, paralysis and sudden deaths? Do you realize that it is the consensus of opinion of the best medical authorities that syphilis alone shortens the average life about one third? And that it often rottens away the infected one or imposes on his offspring all manner of defects of physical and mental ailments, and that 606 is not always a sure cure for syphilis. Do you realize that this disease may be communicated by contact—by the use of the common towel—the public drinking cup—kissing, and even hand shaking? Do you realize that Gonorrhea is a serious and terrible disease, and that many young men foolishly regard it as a joke, and that it (gonorrhea) is responsible for race挫盲, blindness in children and sterility? Again, do you realize that gonorrhea is responsible for from 75 to 80 per cent of abdominal and pelvic operations on women; and further, are you conscious of the fact that the gonorrheal Keep Healthy By Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams A Weekly Talk on Preventative Measures, First Aid Remedies, Hygienics, Sanitation. No Cases will be Diagnosed and No Prescriptions will be Given in This Column. Disease Everywhere. Fathers and Mothers Extent of Synbills: germ may be carried dormant by the man for many years after apparent cure—all signs of discharge gone—and then be transferred to an innocent wife—become malignant in her and may necessitate ovarian operation or operation for removal of appendages and thus cause a life of unhappiness. These are only a few of the counts against the venereal twins, Syphilis and Gonorrhea. We hope, however, enough to convince every same man and woman to look thoroughly into the matter, and that he or she, who after considering these facts, shall then insist that the subject is too delicate for the freest and fullest discussion, may deserve and receive a full condensation of all good people; and "the hell on earth" which the venereal scourge sooner or later create. But, neither nor she should be permitted by the criminal conspiracy of silence to encourage others to walk uninstructed, unwarned in to this "hell on earth." We plead with you, fathers and mothers, to exercise the same intelligent care of discretion in the selection of your future son-in-law that you would exercise in the selection of your horse, cattle, or other domestic animals. You would not think of bringing a hog infected with cholera among other healthy hogs, nor would you think of bringing a tubercular steer among other healthy cattle, or a horse with blind staggers among other healthy horses, nor would you think of buying damaged goods and pay the same price for them as you would pay for good sound goods. Then, why not for the good of your dear son or daughter—for the good of the unborn—for the good of the race—inquire into the physical condition of those who enter into the matrurational alliance, instead of inquiring about what does he do? How much does he make? How much money is he worth, or whether he is handsome, and whether the offspring will be beautiful or not, whether the eyes are gray, blue or brown, or the hair long or short, straight or khink, black or auburn? Why not, good parent or guardian, demand a clean bill of health? The young man or the young woman who objects to presenting a clean bill of health consisting of a physical and mental examination has something wrong with them and should not be allowed to marry. The time will come when the State, fored by the good thinking people in society will take charge of the matter and have intelligent physicians, above bribery, to make these examinations and thus protect society. We call upon the ministers of the gospel, the moulders of, and the leaders of public thought, to lend a hand to this interesting and vital and immediate matter, for its nature and future results are of paramount interest to the race. FOURTH ANNUAL ESSAY CONTEST. The fourth annual essay contest will be held at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church, 24th street and Wabash avenue, Sunday afternoon, Dec. 14, at 3 o'clock, under the auspices of the Negro Fellowship League. We are able to hold this contest through the generosity of Mr. Louis Usselman, who donates the prizes yearly. For the past three years these contests have been held under the auspices of the Bethel Literary Club, but owing to the fact that numerous clubs take part, as well as representatives of various churches, it was thought best to hold future contests under the auspices of a different club each year and at a different church. The subject to be written on is as follows: "What Has the Negro Contributed to the World for the Advancement of Civilization?" Rules. (1) The essays are not to contain over 2,500 words and must be delivered in 15 minutes. (2) Persons who have won prizes in former contests will not be eligible. (3) All essays must be composed and written by the persons representing said clubs, and if found to be otherwise said persons will be barred from the contest. (4) All essays must be in the hands of the managers of the contest one week prior to Dec. 14, who will turn them over to the judges. These essays are to be sent in without names, thus insuring that they will be judged absolutely on their merits. (5) There will be five judges, consisting of two ladies and three gentlemen. (6) The contestants must be, at the church not later than 3 o'clock on the day of the contest, as the program will begin promptly at that hour. These rules will be strictly enforced. You will doubtless recall the great interest manifested in previous contests and the historical facts produced, which were of great value to the Chicago public. It is the alm of the management to make this contest greater, than any previous one. Each club is asked to appoint two representatives, a lady and a gentleman. They must be active members of the club they represent. The prizes are: A solid gold laviliere, diamond scarf, to the lady; and a solid gold scarf, diamond setting, to the gentleman who is the best essay on the subject, named. Eight clubs are to enter the contest. Mary Preston looked around her cozy living-room with pride and satisfaction. She had accomplished much in one short year of married life and was very happy in planning and scheming to furnish the little home piece by piece, as they could afford it. --- The one thing most needed now was a hearth-rug. A few days ago she had seen just the thing while helping her sister-in-law to choose a rug. She had said nothing about it to John. A step on the porch broke in upon her thoughts. "A rug for Mrs. Preston. Shall I leave it here?" "Yes, thank you." Mary replied, dazedly. "How dear of John." she thought, even though a slight feeling of disappointment swept over her as she remembered the rug she had set her heart on. Dragging it into the living-room she cut the string and unrolled the enveloping paper. At first glimpse she caught her breath. It was too dreadful to be true! On the floor of the room that stood for good taste and refinement to both John and herself lay one of the atrocities that her very soul abhorred. On a florid field with a background of yellow rocks, an impossible deer with branching antlers, head in the air and legs outstretched, was depicted jumping from one crag to another. It was incredible that John should choose such a thing; and equally believable that she should think her canvable of approaching it. Then a saving sense of humor forced a laugh. "Dear old John," she said, "he has indeed given me a surprise." How it asserted itself in the quiet room! He could not fall to see how incongruous it was, she thought, even as she resolved that he should never know how she felt about it. He had been so good; surely she could for once sacrifice her feelings for his sake. For once! It would be every day that she must see that deer leaping through space. Pulling the despised rug into position before the fireplace, she walked to the doorway from which her husband would catch the first glimpse of it. She would know as soon as she saw his face, how he healt about it. He was coming now; and before he stepped over the sill, her arms were around his neck. "Oh, John," she cried, "it was such a surprise." "Has it come?" he asked. "Wait till I take off my coat, and we'll have a look at it." It seemed to Mary that he was much longer than usual getting out of his coat. "How does it match up with the room?" he asked; but Mary was too busy straightening the rug to hear. f "It's--it's wonderful," she replied, trying to keep her voice from snaking; for he had failed her. He really liked it. The little home they had made together seemed falling about her ears. "I'm glad if you like it, darling," John said; but his voice sounded dull and tired. She feared he had noticed her lack of enthusiasm, and hastened to tell him again what a surprise it was. "You're sure it's what you wanted?" he persisted. "I's a dear," she replied, and they laughed over the poor little joke. Each passing day made it harder for Mary to see the hated rug on the floor. It had not only spilled the room for her, but had shaken her confidence in her husband's taste. There were times when she felt that she must open her heart to him; that her silence came between them. One day she met him at the door, with an open letter in her hand. "John!" she cried, "Aunt Beth wants to spend the week with us!" "Just the thing! You have not been yourself of late, and seeing her will—" "No," she interrupted, "you must wire her not to come. I can't have her." "Not have her! Why?" "She is so critical—" stammered mary. "Not critical, dear; she has the best of taste of anyone I know—what's the matter, Mary? isn't the house all right." "Oh, John, it's perfect; but I can't have her. I can't!" Bursting into tears she threw herself into his arms. "Now, darling, what is it?" he coaxed. "It's—it's," she sobbed. "Oh, I'm horrid, but it's—the rug." "The rug?" echoed John, more at sea than ever. "Have you changed your mind about it? Don't you like it after all?" "I never liked it; I loathed it from the first; I deceived you." "But I don't understand. Why did you choose it?" "I didn't!" "You didn't ask Jackson to put it aside for you?" "Never! It must have been Jane—she was looking at rugs. I didn't even see the awful thing. Oh, John! You didn't really like it, then?" "I? That horror! "But why—" stammered Mary. "Because I did not wah to hurt you, little girl." he said; "but it was a bitter blow when I discovered my wife's taste in rugs." Human Skin as a Polisher I had always supposed that the chamols possessed the sku best adapted for polishing purposes, but recently in a leading jeweler's shop I learned otherwise. Nothing, it seems, can impart such a luster to plate as the human skin, and all the best articles are polished, quite literally, by hand—rubbed gently by the lower arch of the hand at the base of the thumb. "We keep a girl to do nothing else," said my informant, and I reflected that I had discovered a new industry and a new definition of "palm oil."—London Chronicle.

Dorothy Clifford was to make her debut as a planist ut Claridge hall, and Eustace, her flanee was to be there. Claridge hall was not the finest hall in. the city. It was, however, one of the leading centers of music.” It con- tained some half dozen chambers, In each of which a grand picno was usu- ally to be found; and when there were not enough concerts scheduled to fll these rooms cougrosses met there, The International Congress of Applied Mathematicians had -assembled there only that year, aud the Society for the Improvement of Chiropody; nothing came amiss to the owners. But, of course, Claridge hall was chiefly noted for its music, and many femous musi- ciuns had appeared there. Dorothy had been educating herself as a pianist for seven years. She had many teachars, too. She had hoped to make music her life career. But many a girl who dreams of a life career sur- renders it when the’ right man comes along. And with Eustace to care for, the plano had become a less valued friend, “SUI, Eustace." she had sald, “I can play once in a while at first, even after we ure married, and make a few extra dollars. Don't you think 60?” Eustace hud been dubious, but Dor othy's father was emphatically in agreement with her. “You're going to give that piano re- cital, anyway, Dorothy," he said. “Here f've spent nearly ‘a thousand dollars on your musical education, from first to last, and talked about you to my friends and how you are going to take the town by storm; and now It's up to you to make good.” “But it will cost three or four hun- dred dollars for me to appear at Clar- idge hall," sald Dorothy. “Good,” answered her father. “That will show the newspaper erities that you mean business. That will impress them." Dorothy's father was not very worldly wise, but anyway he had his will. And so the fateful afternoon xr- rived. When Dorothy arrived with her father and Bustace and saw the pla- cards in front of the building her heaFt gave little throbs of pride. “Dor. otby Clifford,” they announced, in great black letters, under her picture, “Dorothy Clifford,” and then, in small er letters, “gives her pinnoforte re- cital in Claridge hall"—the last words very big again—“on Friday next at 2:20." Eustace squeezed her hand and her father twisted his white mustache and strolled along as proud as a king. “Room 4, Miss Clifford,” they told her inside. So Dorothy bad to say good-by to her father and sweetheart and hurry round to the musicians’ en- tranee. She walked up and down cor- ridors—for Claridge hall is quite a large place—and at last found roorn 4. “They are waiting for you,” said an old gentleman at the stage entrance— a ilttle eurtly, Dorothy thought. But she had no time to bother about such things as that. She walked on the stage, and one glance at the auditor- hum filled her with joy. The house was full, Tt was not merely full, but packed, overflowing into the aisles. It was also a representative house, for It numbered men, women, girls and boys, and as Dorothy walked forward to: ward the grand piano, which, rather oddly, she thought, occupied a’ corner of the stage instead of the center, such a salvo of hand-clapping broke forth that the tears came into her eyes, She could hardly sev to reud the musie that she unrolled and placed upon the stand, At first she was timid. It was her Arst appearance in public, and the presence of these strangers discon. certed her a little. Then, too, she knew that her father and Eustace had seats in the second row, but though she had tried to see them she had failed to do so. But the knowledge that they were there encouraged her. Her hands, a little tremulous at Grst, regained their power, and before she had played half a dozzen bars she bad forgotten where she was In the Joy of playing. She did not even notice that there was nobody to turn over the pages for her. She lost herself in the ecstacy of Chopin's divine creation, and, before she knew it, the piece was ended. Dorothy got up and bowed. ‘To her amazement there was not a single hand-clap. Not one person out of that vast audience bad been sufficiently im- pressed to applaud. ‘There was not a whisper. They sat In thelr seats tn stony silence, Dorothy controtled herself with dit fulty. She went slowly out through the stage exit. She would not go back. She would go home, she— “Dorothy! Where have you been?” It was Eustace, Kustace standing at her side, She tried to hide the tears that filled her eyes, “Dorothy! ‘That's the wrong room. ‘That's Number 3. We have been wait: ing for you a quarter of an hour, The ‘faudience is getting impatient.” ‘The absurdity of the mistake sent the girl into,a reaction af hysterical laughter.

ANITA PATTI BROWN TRIUMPH IN GRAND CONCERT Bethel Church Packed to Doors —Hundreds Turned Away— Miss Marion Garner and Mr. Wyatt Houston Truly Artists. Thursday evening promptly at the appointed hour, 8:20, Mme. Anita Pattl Brown and her "Sing Tell Play Company," including Miss Marion E. Garner, accompanist; Mr. Wyatt Houston, violinist, and the young progressive artist, Mr. George R. Garner, Jr., tenor, presented to Chicago music lovers a rare and great treat. The program opened with a piano solo by Miss Marion E. Garner. She selected to play on this occasion "Jonglerie," by Godurd, which she did in a very artistic manner. This number was followed by an encore, which was beautiful and well received. Miss Marion Garner has been THE LADY OF THE MIDDLE-SEASON Mmc. Anita Patti Brown. frequently heard as a pianist and accompanist, and with each appearance she shows wonderful improvement. Her accompanying each artist was faultless. She displays excellent training, and as this young artist matures she will become one of the great pianists. Mr. George R. Garner, Jr., our leading tenor, sang Schubert's "Erlking" in a most wonderful manner, and during the rendition of this number a pin could have been heard to fall so attentive was the great audience to hear each word of this great mastersong. Mr. Garner received a great oxyton when he appeared on the platform, and when he finished singing the "Erlking" the applause was vociferous. Following this number Mr. Garner sang superbly the Bold "Love Song," which number was heavily enclosed, and to which Mr. Garner very gracefully and graciously responded. Mr. Garner has a voice of wonderful range and flexibility, which he uses in a most artistic manner. Mr. Garner recently created a real sensation in St. Paul and throughout the Dominion of Canada last winter by his wonderful singing in "Alda" and "Barber de Seville." His singing of "Jean," by Burleigh, was so perfectly beautiful that it held the audience spellbound, as did Mme. Brown-in "Love's Whisper, by Willeby. Notwithstanding a cold which Mr. Garner is just recovering from, he sang fine, and in such an artistic manner that the hoarseness wasn't noticed. Mme. Brown came next on the program and received a splendid ovation. The Madame's first suite consisted of "Villanelle," by Del Aques, "Love's Whisper," and "Daddy's Sweetheart," a pretty, humorous number. These three beautiful numbers showed the Madame's great versatility to sing a remarkable variety of music with admirable skill and unimpeachable good taste. In the "Mad Scene" from "Lucia," Madame Brown displayed her colorature work to great advantage. Mrs. Brown's marvelous voice, combined with a number of years of study and constant singing, all go to make her the truly great artist. It is a wonderful voice with which this soprano is pleasing her audience, remarkable in its purity and great range, while her colorature work is extremely brilliant. Mme. Brown received many beautiful flowers and was recalled several times. Mr. Houston, the violinist, played the GRAND RECITAL GRAND RECITAL BETTIOLA FORTSON. In Original Poems. Assisted by Mme. Marie Peeke Merrill, Soprano, of Fisk University. Miss Hortensia Charrier Gordon, Piano, of New England Conservatory, Boston, Mass. Mr. James M.

His harmonies are good, while his bowing is excellent, while his whole style of performance is strikingly original. His profoundly beautiful playing of the "Seventh Concerto," the loveliness of tone which marked the rendition of Wienlawski's "Mazurka" and the "Humoresque," a very popular number by Dvorah, exhibit well the versatility of the artist. "I Feel Thy Presence," a duet by Hoffman, sung by Mine. Brown and Mr. Garner, made a beautiful closing number with violin obligato played by Mr. Houston. Mme. Brown, with her fine stage presence and great colorature voice, will without doubt be a success with such support as Mr. Garner will give her with his magnificent voice, charming stage presence and gracious personality, which wholly fascinate those who are fortunate enough to meet him. He is such a comfortable artist on the stage. With the excellent accompanist and vilionist, Mme. Brown and her Sing Tell Play Company will triumph wherever they may appear. This company sails from New York Nov. 8 for the British West Indies, and will go to Panama, Central and South America before returning next spring. The editor and his staff, with all loyal and true-hearted Chicagoans, wish the Sing Tell Play Company success and very pleasant cruises through the southern seas. JOTTINGS THEATRICAL AND OTHERWISE. As Buck and Raynor's is the meeting place for friends in the loop, just so is the Grand theater for South Siders, and "I'll meet you at the Grand" is becoming as popular as "Good morning, have you used Pear's soap?" And it isn't to be wondered at. One gets the habit and it is hard to break. In every bill at the Grand can be found some little playlet with a moral that can be taken home with us, and we leave with a good taste in our mouth, so to speak. The Flying Geers, sensational aerialists, were the first on the bill and they fairly made the audience hold their breath at the daring things they did. Their act, besides being new, was refined and polished. The Bruces were a clever team of dancers and conversationalists and their buck and wing dancing on roller skates was above the average. Russell and Hartman gave a little comedy entitled "The Cowboy and the Girl," which depicted how foolish it is for young girls to fall in love with story book heroes. It was well acted. Rockwell and Wood were rightly named "two nuts." Their act was as nonsensical as it was amusing, and if they had not left the stage when they did several more buttons, would have been bursted off those in the audience. The bill closed with the Cycling Brunettes, who did the usual stunts in that line. The States Thompson, Cooper and Thompson are the bright particular stars at the States the first part of the week. They present a musical act that in class and tone is second to none on the American stage today. It has been argued that colored singers must present ragtime if they would succeed, a fallacy that these three young men have exploded. The number that that brings them the most hearty encores is that famous ballad "If I Forget," the popularity of which is greatly on the increase. The musical act was another big feature of the evening's program. Miss Goal's Recital. Miss E. Goal, a student of Prof. S. I. Lee, will give a musical recital with the assistance of her pupils and Mr. B. H. Lucas for the benefit of St. Mark's M. E. Church, 50th street and Wabash avenue, Tuesday evening, Nov. 18. Patti Brown's Company Leaves Soon. The Sing-Tell-Play Company will leave Chicago Tuesday, Oct. 28, playing that evening in South Bend, Ind., Lansing, Mich., 29; Detroit, 30, and Windsor, Ont., 31, arriving in Cleveland Saturday, Nov. 1, and playing there Nov. 3 and 4; Youngstown, O., 5; Steubenville, O., 6. They will arrive in Washington, D. C., at 1 p. m. on the 7th and be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson and that evening attend a concert by the Great Clet Club at Howard theater, after which they will leave for New York, where they will be joined Friday by Mme. C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, the renowned hair culturist, with her auto and retinue of servants, and will embark on the steamer Omaa, Royal Mail line, reaching the first point of their tour, Kingston, Jamaica, on Friday, Nov. 14. Mme. Brown leaves a fond good-bye to all and hopes to receive the best wishes from friends and acquaintances for herself and the Sing-Tell-Play Company. Quite an activity is being shown at the present time in colored circles, as no less than four large companies will be on the road next month. The Black Pattl show, which has been delayed on account of the madame's illness, is now in rehearsal. The "My Friend from Dixie" goes out on the 27th inst. The colored players opened Monday. Aida Overton Walker & Company open at Pittsburgh on the 27th inst., coming direct to our Pekin to open on Monday, Nov. 3. This is the only colored show The Grand.

Watch for The much talked of Brooks-Smith Players opened at the Monogram Monday night and created 60 laughs to the minute. The other act on the bill would not stand the acid test. Nothing succeeds like success is evidenced by the flattering offers that Miss Carita Day has been receiving. No sooner had she opened her Parisian ladies' hat and gown partors and doing an enormous business than the vaudeville managers began offering her choice dates. The climax came last Monday when she received a cablegram from the Winter Garden Theater at Berlin, Germany, offering her the months of December and January to be featured as the premier American lady wooden shoe dancer in the American revue which will be produced for the holidays. Miss Day had to decline as she considers her lady's shop an assured success, although she may play a few of the offered American dates. Mr. Claude Winfry was recently married in New York. The bride is a non-profession. Mr. Winfry in partnership with Henry Saparo, late of the Pumpkin Colored Trio, are meeting with success in the east. Both are well known on The Stroll. The Merit theater gave up vaudeville before getting its feet wet. Had they taken a bath they might of cleaned up around 35th and State. The Bruces were at the Grand this week. Lane's Modern Minstrels open at the Pekin on Monday. The cold weather had a depressing effect on all of The Stroll theaters this week. Perrent and Crosby have been booked solid in the east. That's why Goldie don't worry. The Blanks Sisters have an excellent singing act and were a big hit at the States. The Foster Photo Players were seen in a new play entitled "The Fall Guy." It ranks as one of the best productions. Mr. Foster is preparing to send out several shows on the road. Although the advance sale for the Aida Overton Walker show does not begin until the 27th inst. scores of mail orders have already been received at the box office for seats. It looks like the capacity will be tested the entire week. S. H. Dudley of Washington just returned from a visit to his Ruby theater in Louisville, Ky. He has retired from the stage for the season and will devote all of his time to the development of his numerous theatrical enterprises. Misses Effie King and Lottie Gee are to rehearse their new act at the Washington Conservatory of Music, preparatory to going out for twenty weeks over the Loew circuit.

Miss Lyllin Brown, the "Georgia Lily," entertained a party of friends at her home, 524 T street, northwest, last Saturday evening. She has just completed a ten weeks' season at Savannah, Ga., where she worked with Mr. William De Mont, who has developed into a high class blackface comedian.

The South Side physicians held their first meeting of the season on Wednesday night, October 16, at the Cafe de Luxe, 3528 Wabash avenue. The meeting was well attended, bringing out many old-timers who had not heretofore taken part, among them Drs. Burrows, G. W. Prince, Thomas and Cotton. A feeling of good fellowship was among all present. The following officers were elected for the coming year: President, Dr. H. A. Turner; vice president, Dr. T. S. Officer; secretary, Dr. Carl Roberts; assistant secretary, Dr. F. G. Trapp; treasurer, W. N. Thomas. The president, Dr. H. A. Turner, delivered a splendid address on the future of the organization, laying out a program for the coming year, among which will be held a number of public clinics for the benefit of the public at large. Public meetings will be held in the various churches, at which scientific papers will be read and discussed. The members, all full of enthusiasm, then retired to the dining room, where Miss Hurley, with her usual pleasing smiles, served them with a splendid regale. Here many pleasant memories were recited and stories told. All pledged themselves to work for the good of the order. Executive committee, Drs. Spencer, Dickerson, M. R. Bibbs, J. H. Plummer, and M.

A good program has been arranged for the occasion. The league has done some very good and profitable service, and stands in a position to do a much larger work in the community. At present there is a little laxity, owing to the fact that politics is holding many of its members away, but after the campaign is over and the election is held active work will be resumed. The public is cordially requested to come out on tomorrow afternoon. A beautiful paper dress social was given at the First A. M. E. church last evening by Mrs. Perry Matthews. A sociable and delightful time was had by all who came. Miss Oma Thomas of Morganfield, Ky., has accepted a position in the dining room service of the Tin Plate general office, and will remain in this city through the winter. Mr. Guy Thomas, brother of Mr. James Thomas, chef at the Tin Plate office, left last week with his family for his home in Morganfield, Ky., to remain indefinitely. While here Mr. Thomas was employed at the Hall Drug Company, Sixth and Broadway, and his services were highly respected by Mr. Hall. Mr. Guy McCoughtry went to Chicago last Monday to prepare for service on a dining car. Mr. McCoughtry was formerly employed at the Alschuler department store. Mrs. Elizabeth E. Lyle, teacher of Primary grades in the Froebel school, has been asked to address the state association of teachers in the colored schools of Kentucky at their thirty-fifth annual session, which convenes at Louisville, Ky., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, November 12, 13 and 14. This is an honor not only to Mrs. Lyle, but to the Gary school system as well. The honor is by no means misplaced. Mrs. Lyle being not only one of the best teachers in the state, but is an exceptionally brilliant woman. This association is largely attended by teachers throughout the state, and if the invitation is accepted the results will prove beneficial in many ways. The people of Gary are manifesting a splendid interest in colored publications. The Age of New York, the Ledger and Recorder and Freeman of Indianapolis, Chicago Defender and the Crisis are being widely read. Oliver Martin, 1750 Adams, is the hustling representative of the Crisis, and handles one hundred each month. Clement D. Russell, Twenty-seventh and Massachusetts streets, box 592, will deliver to your door the classy Chicago Defender and New York Age each Saturday. Mr. B. J. W. Spencer is employed at the steel plant general office. Our most prominent people are reading the Defender, and the names of those who are reading it will be published next week in this column. Mr. Van McCoughtry of South Connecticut street expects to enter Howard University at Washington, D. C. or Wilberforce University in the winter term. ```markdown ``` Chinese Barbers. In China barbers go about like peddlers from house to house, though there are one or two shops in the larger cities where the charge averages four cents. "American, women," observes M. Poiret, "are so well constructed that 'could wear anything.' Yet many almost don't—New York Yours Are Only Relatively Cleaner Than. Those of Your Neighbor, If You Reflect. "This is a lavatory episode and not so much of an episode at that, except that it made me think a couple of thoughts which I had hitherto overlooked," said the man with the package that was patently a pound of candy. "Maybe you'll call an epigram. I don't know. But I heard it in one of those places where the long rows of white bowls and hot and cold upgifts and paper towels and tipsy bottles of liquid substitute for soap are. "There were two boys there, office boy type. One was washing his hands. Also a man, office man type, who foshed the boy who was washing. Told him he needed a bath by the looks of as much of him as was visible—and such as that. The boy hotly denied that he was flither than the average. Finally the merry kid went out. The accused boy turned to his companion and exclaimed, partly in indignation and mostly in amusement, at the absurdity of the idea: "He thinks everybody's hands is as clean as his is." "Now that struck me as right illuminating. I have long wondered how boys can live with dirty hands and uncomb hair. I have a young son of my own and I know that no amount of moral sauson will make 'em wash and comb regularly. But don't you see, a boy's hands are not dirty unless they are dirty for a boy's hands. It's that same old stuff over again about everything being relative. "That boy who seemed to think cleanliness was an immutable condition, something that just happened and couldn't be avoided or attained, was my boy's benefactor, though he didn't know it. I realize now that a boy's hands are clean when they don't look it to the parental eye, I'll not bawt out my dear boy for coming to the dinner table with grimy fingers any more. I know now that it will all come right in time. When he gets to be as old as I am his hands will be as clean as mine 'is.' "One more precious thought: Did you ever sit in a car alongside a delivery boy or a molder or a laborer and shudder in ill-concealed horror at sight of his dirty hands or face? You are in the habit of supposing that your own hands and face are clean, I suppose? Well, they are not, except relatively. Your hands may be clean compared to the boy's, but they are disgustingly dirty compared to comparatively clean hands, such as a surgeon has when he's all ready to go ahead with the slashing. Think it over and don't let yourself get puffed up with false pride." How It Feels to Freeze. Freezing to death is preceded by a drowsiness which makes the end painless, the body actually feeling warm and going comfortably to sleep. Experiments have been made with animals to show just how freezing to death proceeds. In one of these experiments, in which the animal was placed in a temperature of from 125 to 150 degrees below zero, the breathing and heart beats were at first quickened, the organic heat of the body actually rising above the normal, which is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This showed a sudden and intense effort on the part of the functions to preserve the body's temperature. Then violent heart action gave out suddenly, and death came when the temperature of the body dropped to 71 degrees Fahrenheit—Popular Mechanics. "Robber Dollar Sale." A "rubber dollar sale" was the title of a store's recent announcement intended to emphasize the idea that during the month a dollar could be stretched to cover more than its real value, according to the Clothier and Furnisher. To give forceful illustration, ten one-dollar bills were attached to the placard and were so folded that the figure one showed only on the bill at each end, so that at first glance the group looked like a much stretched single dollar. Not Like Her Visitors The perfect baby had reached the age when he could coo, an accomplishment in which he indulged himself most of the time when not otherwise engaged. "He is the most welcome visitor I ever had," said the mother, proudly. "He just lies and talks to me by the hour." "Isn't that nice," replied the caller. "So unlike most visitors—they just talk and lie to you by the hour." On the Links. Golfer—I'm sorry 'to trouble you, madam, but you are directly on the line of our drive. Will you kindly move one way or the other? . Woman (comfortably seated on the ground)—Certainly not. I heard you shout very rudely, but I've no intention of moving. I should have thought that a gentleman, when he saw me here, would play the other way—London Punch. A Century Hence. "And will you be mine, Helene?" "Wes. Horace?" In a transport of joy he seizes the hand of the young girl and shakes it. To be sure hand-shaking has been declared unsanitary by the best medical authority, but what has such a tumultuous love as theirs to do with considerations?—Puck. How "Testtotaler" Originated Teetotaler, the term applied to an abstainer from all serviced liquors, originated with Richard Turner, an artisan of Preston, England, who, contending for the principle at a temperature meeting in 1833, asserted that "Nothing but te-te-total will do." The word was immediately adopted. First Stone Arch Bridge Said to be the first stone arch bridge erected in this country, the "Choate Bridge, Built by Town and County, 1764," as the inscription states, still stands, a monument to the builder, Col. John Choate, at Ipswich, Mass. It is seemingly as strong as ever. THE RAIL Winston's Spicy Gossip of Men and Events in the Railroad Should you fail to receive the Chicago Defender inform the office.

The program at the new Northwestern Cafe Sunday night, October 19, was put off on account of the cold weather. The railroad men are almost fanatical over the Chicago Defender since they have been given space in the only colored railroad paper in the world, through the influence of the railroad news reporter, Mr. John R.

The reverend is to be praised for the great work he is doing. The people in general as well as the congregation are highly pleased with having him as pastor for another year. The baby show held under the auspices of Wayman's A. M. E. Church Monday night was quite a success. Many braved the wind and snow to attend. Mrs. Sheveo's baby won first prize and Mrs. Webb's second prize. Both prizewinners were girls. Mr. and Mrs. Cobbs' baby, a boy child, was picked by many for first place. He is a perfect beauty in every respect—but boys often have to make a sacrifice for girls even in childhood. Miss Lille Cole is visiting friends in Kenosha, Wls.

G. of Eden District, Household of Ruth, paid a visit to Household No. 2195 on the eve of their apron bazaar, October 23. Mrs. Caldwell is laying plans with the local household for the entertainment of the district next summer. While here she is the guest of Mrs. William Tate. Mr. Richard Lee Jones of Cincinnati spent two days in the city last week visiting friends. He was entertained at luncheon by Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Burgette. The Astra Club of Chicago was represented in Milwaukee by its president in the person of Mr. Vincent Saunders, and Mr. Cary Smith. With them were Misses Thelma Alexander and Gretchen Crowley, who came to enjoy the pleasures of the city. They were entertained at luncheon by Miss Marie Burgette, and the young folks reported a delightful time. The Misses Burgette leave Thursday to attend the club dance on Thursday evening. The young ladies' club recently organized for the purpose of pursuing the study of domestic art, will meet at the residence of Mrs. A. B. Montgomery, the organizer, on Thursday, October 30. It is hoped that there will soon be enough of such clubs throughout the state to organize a Wisconsin state federation. The officers are Miss M. Burgette, president; Miss Pearl Howard, vice-president, and Miss Lucille Jackson, secretary. Mrs. Oscar W. Horton, president of the Woman's Improvement Club, has been confined to her bed with the grip, but is now much improved. The young ladies are invited to bring their young men friends and the married women their husbands on next Tuesday evening to attend "gentlemen's night" of the Woman's Improvement Club, at the home of Mrs. Octavia Kinner, 627 Chestnut street, when the young men of the city will render a musical program. The club has resumed its regular work, after a summer vacation. A program is given each month. At last meeting an excellent paper was read by Mrs. Luella Johnson of Chicago, the subject being "Home Influence." The industrial and art department, under the supervision of Mrs. Anna Waters, meets every Monday, and is engaged in making hand embroidery and art work of all kinds for the annual bazaar. Patrons of music who attended the recital on Monday evening given by Misses Nellie M. Stryathron and May E. Smith, students of the Chicago Conservatory of Music, under the auspices of the Phyllis Wheatley Art Club, were rewarded with a rare treat. Miss Smith has a promising future, and with additional cultivation she bids fair to become one of the best vocalists of the race. She is a dramatic soprano singer, and the "Cry of Rachel" was artistically rendered. "Daddy" was sung with sentiment and pathos. She is at her best when singing in the lower and middle register. Her higher tones lack control of voice. Special attention is given to articulation. To the pianist, Miss Stryathron, too much praise cannot be accorded. Her selections were from compositions of Liszt, Chopin and McDowell. The interpretation and technique were superb. Mrs. J. M. Brandford is now residing at 472 Eighth street. The Chicago Defender is on sale at Scott Bros.' news depot, 328 State street. Phone, Grand 3892. Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 21.—Mrs. George Hurd, who recently underwent an operation, is improving.

Bailey Wednesday evening, October S. at All Saints Episcopal church. Mrs. Bailey will live in Pittsburgh, Pa. TRUE REFORMERS. On Monday night, October 20, the True Reformers held exercises at 3638 State street in honor of the late Rev. W. W. Browne, the founder and organizer; the late Mr. Walter R. Griffin, the rehabilitator, and Hon. J. Frank Douglas, the late grand worthy secretary. M. T. Bailey, the chief of Chicago Division and state deputy of Illinois, is still reducing the number of the five hundred cities in the states of Illinois and Wisconsin and the number of churches and missions owned by the race in which he is to speak. Last Sunday he spoke in the Second Baptist church in Harvey, Ill., and Rev. Jordan, the pastor of the said church, together with others, were highly pleased with the great success of the True Reformers. Following the meeting in the Second Baptist church he spoke in the A. M. E. church, where he congratulated the large gathering there, and, following the explanation he gave concerning the order, Rev. A. Hunt, the pastor in charge, complimented the organization, and said that it was an organization worthy of the attention and confidence of all the colored people in the United States, and that Chief Bailey and his representatives would be welcome at any time when convenient. He spoke in many other churches and cities during the week, and will visit Maywood "o surrounding towns on Sunday, October 26. He is demonstrating to the people that the organization is making good and the people are rapidly returning to its fold. King of the West. Fountain made some new members during the week, and New Era.

It is thought the man suspected she had money in her huge pocketbook. "I don't carry money," said Mrs. Morgan to a Defender reporter; "and had he robbed me, just the empty pocketbook would have been his." LA GRANGE SOCIETY. By Alice Smith La Grange, Ill.

PAUL. 3501 Forest avenue, said: "We women honor Judge Kavanagh for his broad and liberal stand, taken by him at the Irish Fellowship Club. It is a pity that we have not more such broad minded men of the white race to speak out for right and justice. I was very pleased to read the entire address in The Defender." MRS. PAUL EGGLESTON. 3550 Rhodes avenue, said: "O'Connell, the great Irish orator, did never excel Judge Kavanagh. He spoke from his heart in the interest of a great cause, the cause of right and justice. All honor to The Defender for publishing all the address." MRS. JENNIE A. HATCHER, grand high preceptress of Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor, said: "I read the address and spoke of it to many of our society members. It deserved wide reading and we honor The Defender for publishing it." DAUGHTER HENRIETTA P. LEE of the same organization said: "It was a great plea for a most deserving cause—the dealing of justice to an oppressed people. "May his tribe increase." MRS. JENNIE E. LEWIS, 21 East 323d street, said: Judge Kavanagh's address was an Inspiration to men and the good women of Chicago owe him a debt of gratitude." MRS. COOPER, 32d and Dearborn streets, did not mince words in praise of the Speech and The Defender. "It was a wonderful address and will have a far reaching influence," she said. MRS. MATTIE WILLIAMS, 3240 La Salle street, said: "The future for the American Negro would hold no terrors if more such men as Judge Kavanagh took the position of the eminent and fair minded jurist." MRS. ROSA MORGAN, the State street milliner, said: "All my race needs is a right to pursue all walks of life without being oppressed. Our young womanhood would be stronger if greater opportunities were given them to exercise their talents in various vocations—the judge truly uttered a great speech. As a chronicle of news and an advertising medium The Defender is a great paper and gets results." MRS. CRECY BOWEN, 6410 Rhodes avenue, told a Defender reporter that she never misses reading the paper and last week she read with increasing interest the speech of Judge Kavanagh. He deserves the highest congratulations for advancing such a noble and timely cause. MISS GANAWAY, who is here on a visit from Lafayette, Ind., and MRS. HELEN McPHETRIDGE of Peoria, Ill., were seen and asked did they read last week's Defender. Both said yes and repeated parts of the speech verbatim. They praised both Judge Kavanagh and The Defender. Letters have been coming into the office from all parts of the country, congratulating the honorable stand taken by the judge. DR. E. E. UNDERWOOD of Frankfort, Ky., supreme keeper of records and seal of the K. of P., writes: "The entire race rises up to thank this distinguished citizen for speaking out boldly and fearlessly for the rights and justice of my people." DR. JASPER PHILIPPS of Nashville, Tenn., writes: "The Defender brought us that excellent message of Judge Kavanagh." RICHARD W. THOMPSON of Washington, D. C., and Major John R. Lynch of this city declare the speech of Judge Kavannah to be the most significant and timely since the days of Garrison and Lincoln. DR. J. A. C. LATTIMORE, 1502 W. Walnut street, Louisville, Ky., writes that he thinks so much of the Kavannah address that he will have it read before the Falls City Medical Association. MISS LUCY DU VALLE, principal of the Western School, received a Defender and read the speech before the advanced students of the school. She writes: "Every teacher in the public schools should read it. I know of no race paper the equal of last week's Defender." MRS. JEANETTE WILEY, who left last week for Kansas City, Mo., writes that The Defender reached there Monday and when it was learned that the entire address of Judge Kavanagh was in it everyone in the neighborhood wanted to read it. She says the people of Kansas City join the Chicagoans in thanking the judge for protesting against race discrimination. MR. THOMAS PAYNE of Atlanta, Ga., writes, "I read The Defender and am glad to know the Northern whites are with us now as others were during the fifties." Mrs. Ada Cunningham, North Bay, Ont.; Mrs. C. Dyson, Alberta, Can.; Nelson Taylor, Petersburg, Va.; Mrs. Della Tannes, Providence, R. I.; Mrs. K. G. Brothers, Montgomery, Aln.; Mr. Edgar Smith, La Grange, Ill.; Mrs. S.

C.; Mr. Thomas Copeland, Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. Margaret Anderson, Kansas City, Mo., and numerous others have written The Defender, praising the attitude of Judge Kavanagh and the manly and humanitarian stand before the Irish Fellowship Club. The office has been besieged with race loving men and women who spared time to personally call upon the editor of The Defender, and ask that he be their spokesman before Judge Kavanagh, to thank him for charm, using such a great WHEN ACCIDENTS BRING LUCK What Seemed at First to Be Misfortune Turned Out to Be Cause of Prosperity. "What looked like an accident that would put me completely out of business was instead the cause of my present prosperity," said a man who makes a business of taking people out to the fishing grounds. "When I started business three years ago I had just enough capital to buy a second-hand motor boat, which was rated to carry sixty passengers. "On the first day I took a party of fishermen out the spring on the intake of my carbureter broke when the boat was between Coney Island Point and Monument Light. For an hour the boat drifted and my passengers cussed. "As every boatman knows, the Shrewsbury river forms new sandbars every winter, and although I had not been up the Shrewsbury that season I took a chance. Just at the entrance to the channel the boat poked her nose upon a sandbar, and as the tide was on the obb she stayed there. "Swearing like a pirate I reversed the engine, but it was no use. By that time practically all of my sixty passengers were vowing they would never take another trip on my boat and they threatened to warn their friends. "An old German who sat in the stern and who could not speak English did not realize that the boat was aground, but thought we had reached the fishing grounds. Very calmly he baited his hooks and threw the line over. "I hardly had the line struck bottom when the old man began to haul in vigorously. He landed a big, fat fluke on the deck. In a moment every man had a line overboard. Such fishing you never saw. The men got fluke just as fast as they could pull them in. "I have been a seaman a good many years and I understood what had happened. The Shrewbury and especially around Sandy Hook Point is famous for fluke and these fish will always go where the bottom is being dug up. There's no better place for fluke fishing than behind a boat that is dredging for oysters or clams. The reversing of the propeller of my boat was, of course, tearing up from the bottom and the fluke were coming from all directions. "I just thanked my stars and kept the engine reversed. After a couple of hours the tido turned and lifted us off the bar, but by that time every one had a mess of fluke and all were happy. The fishermen took it for granted, that I find run the boat around at that spot and had then kept the engine going so as to give them a day's fishing and make up for the time lost previously. They advertised me liberally among their friends and I've been busy ever since." Test for a Field Glass. inquiry has it that the absolute and infallible test of a glass by the purchaser is to see what size letters can be read across the street from the optician's shop. It isn't. The real test is to climb up a long and bushy hill until the breath comes a hundred to the minute, then a snatch for the glass, reposing in a shirt pocket, to see whether the buck is the one you want before you fire. If it won't go in your shirt pocket, it is not the glass you want; others are made that will. If it shakes in your agitated hands, it is not the glass you want; you cannot see enough more with a high-power glass to pay for the times when it is unusable; because you cannot hold it steady. - Outing.

Kansas Philosopher A reporter for the Globe asked an Atchison man for an Item the other day. "Well," the man replied, "I did hear several interesting things, but will not repeat them. It is not because I don't want to help you, but it is because I don't believe nine-tenths of what I hear. I don't exactly distrust mankind, but I don't believe what people say, I'm sorry to say. It is not because people are crooked, but because they are careless."—Kansas City Star, Taking Too Much for Granted "Say, young man, when you sold me this fountain pen you told me I could carry it upside down in my pocket with perfect safety."

There is no more lonely experience than being among strangers in a large city, upon a holiday; so thought Lyda Hargrave, as she started out for the matinee one Thanksgiving afternoon, in a brave effort to enjoy the day, in spite of her lonely condition. Lyda belonged to an old cultivated family of Hartford, but, like so many of our old eastern families, the strength of the Hargraves had been given to the accumulation of culture rather than the accumulation of dollars, and Lyda had accepted a position in a young ladies' boarding school in Buffalo. Mr. Joshua Wheeler, middle-aged, well-to-do and a merchant of Hartford, found himself held in Buffalo over this same Thanksgiving day. He did not know that Lyda was in Buffalo—indeed, he had not seen nor thought of her since she was a child. Lydia, as she turned down Genesee street, headed for the Star theater, was delighted to see some one from her old home; and approached Mr. Wheeler with happy confidence. As she came near enough to speak to him, she saw plainly that he did not recognize her. She hesitated, and filled with embarrassment and indignation, hurried on. She had not gone far, when she heard rapid footsteps behind her, and turning immediately, discovered Mr. Wheeler. In his most savvy manner Mr. Wheeler raised his hat and inquired if she was going to the matinee. "Yes," said Lydia, tentatively. "May I join you?" murmured Mr. Wheeler. "I should be most pleased to have you," she replied. Lydia had been rowing her own boat for over six years and had learned to steer. Mr. Wheeler secured their seats and they were comfortably settled with some minutes to chat before the curtain went up. Lydia could not feel certain that Mr. Wheeler did not know her, and in order to test the point, said: "Now you must tell me who you are." Mr. Wheeler hesitated, then with emphasis that was slightly overdone, said: "Calhoun—Calhoun; I haven't a card with me, but I'm Calhoun—William Calhoun." Then she knew. "And where are you from, Mr. Calhoun?" sweetly murmured Lydia. "I'm from New York." "New York city?" "Yes, from the metropolis. And now you must tell me your name." "But it is Jones, and it is unkind of you to doubt it. It is bad enough to have to go through life with such a plebeian name without having people make personal remarks about it." Here the curtain went up and their conversation was interrupted. Just before the last act her escort said: "I'm going to take you home." "No," said Lydia, trying to fence, "it is so far out to my house that you would get lost, and perhaps never get back." "I'm going to take you home. You have led me to believe that I might, and I don't intend to let you go alone." "But your interpretation is wrong." "What other interpretation is there?" "This. I had every right to speak to you—every right to let you go to the matinee with me, for I have enjoyed your acquaintance, and the acquaintance of your wife and daughters, for many years, Mr. Joshua Wheeler, of Hartford." Lydia donned her wraps, and still smiling broadly, extended her hand. "I thank you for the jolliest afternoon of my life. Now will you take me to my car?" "In heaven's name, who are you?" ejaculated Joshua. "Mary Jones, of Buffalo," smiled Lydia. "Will you take me to my car?" To Honor Schlanarelli A committee comprising the heads of leading Italian scientific institutions and presided over by the king of Italy has been formed to obtain money by public subscription for paying suitable honor to the memory of Prof. G洛vanni Schiaparelli, the distinguished astronomer. It is proposed to erect a monument to him at his birthplace, Savigliano, in Piedmont, and to place a memorial tablet in the Brera palace at Milan. He was connected with the observatory of Brera for 40 years, most of the time as director. To the world at large Schiaparelli was chiefly famous for his discovery of the so-called canals of Mars in 1877. Game Did Not Appeal to Them appear to them. Four Armenians sat in a Manchester park the other day watching the bowling-green, says the Manchester Guardian. Their calm faces behaved no curiosity. But then one paused by them to watch the game, the oldest Armenian rose and put a polite question: "Sir, please do they pay money to do that?" "Yes, they pay money." A flash of amazement passed over the Armenian faces. One could see that, for the first time, they realized the folly of the Anglo-Saxon race. Finding Time to Read A wise woman kept up with current reading in spite of an enormous mending basket, simply because she kept a book tucked in her basket, and although she did her sewing conscientiously she stopped for a few minutes every hour or so and read a little, nothing so absorbs that it could not be dropped when the recess was over, but something that she could think over while she went on with her next batch of stockings without interfering with her thoughts to the detriment of her sitches. POISONS GET IN FOOD RESTAURANT KEEPERS SOMETIMES GIVEN SCARES. Blunders Which Prove Costly to Producers of Eatables and Serious to Customers, Sometimes Resulting in Death. If the proprietor of a restaurant ever has a nightmare, it is to the effect that some poisonous ingredient has accidentally found its way into a dish and that the papers are full of blood-curdling accounts of the sufferings and death of his clients. About five years ago nearly a score of people were badly poisoned after dining in the restaurant of a well known West Central hotel in London, and although the source of the poison was never accurately traced—all that was discovered being that it was some form of potamale poisoning—yet to this day that restaurant has hardly recovered its former popularity. More recently a blunder was made in a London fried fish shop. Engine oil was, in some extraordinary fashion, substituted for the cottonseed oil which is commonly used for frying fish. This mistake proved absolutely fatal to the business, and after a time the proprietor was forced to close his doors. Oddly enough, a very similar incident has just come to light in another large town. On the morning of March 7 last a baker made the alarming discovery that the vegetable oil which he had used in making his fancy bread and pastry overnight had been delivered to him in a barrel which had been previously used for storing kerosene. The moment he heard of the blunder he rushed off and engaged the services of six doctors and a dozen carts. The carts were sent round the town to retrieve the bad bake, while the doctors gave their services free to any customers who had already partaken of the poisoned food. Most readers will remember the arsenic-in-beer epidemic of 1902. This was the most extensive poisoning on record in England. It was four months before the authorities realized what the matter was, and by that time there were over a thousand cases in five counties, and 51 deaths had taken place. The source of all the trouble was a minute quantity of arsenic in the beer supplied by a Manchester brewer. It was no fault of the firm, for analysis of the liquor showed that the arsenic originally came from glucose which had been made with impure sulphuric acid. It was the acid which contained the arsenic. In the year following the great arsenic poisoning came the oyster scare. There were outbreaks of typhoid fever at Winchester and at Portsmouth. The fever was traced to oysters, and the result was that for some time oysters were almost unsalable. One big oyster firm which had been paying $750 a week in wages dropped to $75 a week, and it is reckoned that the oyster merchants throughout the country must have lost at least $500,000. Given Under His Hand Uncle Luke sometimes had the job of accompanying visitors about one of the South Carolina cotton mills near Columbia. One day the party under his care came to a room where all the employees were men. "I see you don't employ any women here," said one woman in surprise. "Deed we an't, 'mau'n," answered Luke, proudly. "Mr. Parker done order dat hisself, ma'am—nothin' 'cep manual labor in dishy room"—New York Evening Post. German Dogs Aid to Police Since the supreme intelligence of the German shepherd dogs was brought to the notice of the police authorities in Berlin, 1,956 dogs have been attached to the department. Although there are so many of these dogs in Germany it is difficult to purchase a good one and an ordinary and not fully trained dog costs about $200. There is also a feeling that it is somewhat unpatriotic to sell the best German dogs, since they are of great service to the police and the military. In a Elr Tree. In Scannpoose, Ore, there is a windmill in a fir tree. The fir tree, which serves as a tower, was sawed off at a height of about 60 feet from the ground, and a well was sunk at the foot of the tree. A tank house was then attached to the side of the trunk some 40 feet above the ground, a wind wheel was placed above, and the ingenious owner has a model mill for all practical purposes. Sea Serpent Attacks Boat Another sea serpent has been discovered, according to the officers of the Grand Trunk Pacific steamship Prince Albert. It was encountered by Indians at Skidgate, and is stated to have been 20 feet in length. The monster got hold of one of their canoes, but was dispatched by one of the chiefs, who slashed it in two with a large hunting knife.—Vancouver (B. C.) World.
