He educated himself at Manchester and studied the profession of photography. He made it a success and became the leading business man of Batesen Parkroad. The citizens of this borough, in looking for a man to run for mayor, found no better person than Mr. John Richard Archer. Refined, well educated, learned in the political and social history of England, popular with all classes, he was selected to run for mayor. He was elected and became the first man of color to be elected to such a high office. England is recognizing him as a man. He has a white wife, yet both are entertained by the cream of English society and nobility. This country is so different from the States in the treatment of its subjects. In the United States, even though you may be a cousin of President Wilson, the colored man is the crowed and discriminated against; Great Demand from Every Source of the Far Eastern World is Being Made for an Article Made in Chicago Which Gives a Better Pulsation of the Afro-American Than Any Paper That Has Ever Yet Crossed the Briny Deep. Fries to Tell the People the Whole Truth of the Situation in America as to What the Afro-Americans Are Doing and Show to the World That Reports of Colored Men Being Murdered Are Not for Acts of Theirs But Because They Dare to Defend the Sacred Hearth of Their Fireside. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] London, England, November 8. The Chicago Defender has been listed in Daw's Steamship Agency, 17 Green street, Charing Cross Road. Ever since Jack Johnson landed here, the champion prize fighter has been telling his friends about The Chicago Defender. The paper was put on sale at the newsstand and has been selling out every week. The English people admired The Defender because of its bravery and fearlessness on behalf of its colored Americans. This is the first time that a weekly paper has been sold on the west coast of England and its big headlines are attracting wide attention. It is remembered here by London's oldest settlers when Fred Douglass came here and spoke for the liberty and freedom of the colored American. Now comes the power of the press to speak in their behalf. a few days ago The Deserter was quoted in one of the daily papers here and through this information people began to call for it at news agencies. The fact that the American correspondents to the English papers magazine the faults of the colored Amer-icans and write "stories" so grossly Interesting Speeches by Christian Workers.

This is due to Jack Johnson's praise of the paper. CHICAGO, NLL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1913. THE LEWISES THANK THEIR FRIENDS Card of Thanks on Behalf of Their Departed Son. Saskatchewan, Sask., November 14.—W isire to thank the many friends, both black and white, of our deceased boy, Addison Smith, for floral offerings and sympathy in our sad bereavement. We wish to add that he could not have been treated better had he been in Chicago among his many friends, than he was treated here in Saskatchewan under such short acquaintance, by both black and white. We also desire to thank Syracuse Lodge No. 15 and its members for their prompt attention and punctuality. Addison Smith was born in Detroit, Mich., in 1885; he died in Saskatchewan, Sask., on Sunday afternoon, November 2, 1933; at 2:30 p. m., at 115 21st street west. He was 28 years 5 months 11 days old. He died a Christian. All was well with him and his Maker. The funeral services were held in the chapel of A. E. Young, undertaker, 242 2d avenue. The Rev. John Lewis of Wesley Church very beautifully said the parting words. MR. AND MRS. JAMES H. LEWIS, 115 21st street west. UNIVERSITY OF BUDAPEST ENTERTAINS JACK JOHNSON UNIVERSITY OF BUDAPEST ENTERTAINS JACK JOHNSON (Special to The Defender.) (Boston to the Defender). Bupadest, Austria-Hungary, Oct. 29. —Jack Johnson is playing at the Royal Orpheum theater and the people are packing it nightly. The world's champion is the headliner on the bill. He has been accorded a greater reception here than in America, after he won the world's championship. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are entertained by the leading people of Bupadest. At the Budapest University, which is six times larger than the Chicago University, a boxing tournament was put on for the benefit of "Jack" that he may see the boys in action. They afterwards gave me a great reception when I gave them a few points in the "manly art." There is no discrimination against the colored man. When one sees how like a man he is treated here, he wonders why he remains in America to be treated as serfs. Mr. Johnson will leave in a few days for Bucarest and then for Berlin. His contracts extend all over Europe and is making the largest theaters in Europe. The fighter is anxious to settle down to business in Paris, but this is not possible since the people all over Europe want to see him in his theatrical engagements. In London, the Englishmen are not only fod of Jack Johnson but show him and Mrs. Johnson all the courtesies possible. His headquarters are where the noblemen and lords are seen dally and they treat him as they do their fellowmen. Johnson is in Europe to enjoy its freedom. Who can blame him? ALEXANDER BURLED [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Little Rock, Ark., November 14—Mr. William Alexander, who was murdered at Frankfort, Ky., by Mr. H. Harrison, was buried here this week. The $69,000 Mosaic Temple at Little Rock, Ark., adds another splendid temple to the many erected by our fraternities. To John E Bush of Little Rock the Mosaics are indebted for much of the success attending the efforts to raise the funds for this temple. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Paducah. Ky., November 14.—A local business league was recently organized at Paducah. Ky., with 75 members. Every business man in the city became a member. A. W. Watkins, the undertaker here, was unanimously elected president. MRS. S. M'GLAFFLIN VISITS RELATIVES Mrs. S. McGlafflin, 5136 State street, has returned to the city after a very pleasant visit of two weeks with relatives and friends in her home town, Jackson, Ill. To a Defender reporter she said: "I was happy to be among my home folks for a while, but happier to return to dear old 'Chl.'" CONTRACTORS JUBILANT [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Hopkinsville, Ky., November 14.—Smith and Moore, contractors at Hopkinsville Ky., have the contract for building the stone wall around the birthplace farm of Jefferson Davis in Christian county, Ky. The stone for the wall will be quarried from the quarries of these Negro contractors. JUDGE R. H. McMURDY ET AL. Judge Robert H. McMurdy is one of the most interesting characters in the civic life of Chicago. His activities are manifold, his interests are varied, his sympathies broad and inclusive. After all there is nothing that the world has to offer more valuable than a friend, and at this the seeming crisis of the so-called race problem it behooves us to gather to our fold as many friends and sympathizers as possible. There is one man who, while he has not stood out as boldly Judge B. 11. McMurdy. and as prominently as some others have, has been doing effective work in the social uplift field for years and years. It is not always the man who is heralded as the savior and great exponent of any cause that accomplishes the most, but the man who in the everyday walks of life says a kind word here, lends a helping hand there and at all times is honest and consistent. Such a man is Judge Robert McMurdy, born in Frankfort, Kentucky, in 1860, son of the Rev. Dr. McMurdy. His career has been one succession of advances. In 1876 he graduated from our own Hyde Park school and in rapid succession followed his graduation from the University of Michigan, admission to the bar of Michigan and Illinois. He was the founder and first president of the Hamilton Club, lecturer on medical jurisprudence Hahneman Medical College; Master in Chancery, Circuit Court of Cook County; Member of the Illinois Legislature; President Chicago Law Institute; Trustee, Provident Hospital; Roosevelt Presidential elector and the author of the novel "The Upsa Tree." The most signal honor that has come to him lately is his appointment as Judge of Illinois Court of Claims. Judge Robert H. McMurdy is the author of that local option law which is responsible for the periodic strenuous contests between the "wets" and "drys" of this state. Since this law was declared constitutional by the Supreme Court of Illinois it has closed 1,600 saloons in the state, and as public sentiment becomes more and more enlightened its possibilities for increasing civic cleanliness can easily be imagined. Judge McMurdy believes that no life can be called successful unless it has been lived in giving service to one's fellow men. Judged by his own standards, then, the authorship of this law alone would prove the need of success obtained by this eminent jurist; but Judge McMurdy is a man of many activities. He was one of the founders and the first president TACOMA GROCERY STORE EMPLOYS SEVERAL CLERKS [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Indianapolis, Ind., November 14.

BILLIARD KINGS IN TOURNAMENT Experts to Play for $100 Prize. Who will be the champion? This is the much talked of question among the pool and billiard players and the South Side.

The billiard tournament will last four nights, beginning Monday night, Nov. 17, at 8 o'clock. All are expert billiard players. The first game will be played at Holt's place and Cole and Catlin's the next evening. These two well known billiard parlors will be a mecca for the billiard lovers the first four nights of the week. The Brunswick will be represented by Messrs. George Holt, Clinton Jones, William Coleman, John Nixon or Frank Jones. The C. and C. Hotel by Messrs. Howard F. Catlin, Capt. James S. Nelson, George H. Jackson or Jack Jackson, William Adams and Tom Cole. A prize of $100 will be awarded to the winners.

[Special to The Chicago Defender.] Columbus, O., November 14—Bishop Nelson and Gallor (white) of the South, who attended the Protestant Episcopal convention in New York recently, had very pronounced views on how colored people should be educated and that they should be educated in a few things, omitting arts and sciences and classics. Bishop Gallor was not pleased with the moral progress of the race. Miss Minnie B. Mosby of Columbus, O., a woman of rare intellectual gifts, a read writer and a deep thinker and reasoner, answers the distinguished brethren of the cloth in the following style. She says in part: "According to Bishop Gallor the moral progress of the colored race has not been proportionate to his progress in books and ability to acquire property. We wish to ask the bishop if he thinks the example of morality which the whites set for his emulation is the equal of the ability which the white man displays for the acquiring of property. The immorality of the whites is no excuse for immorality among Negroes but such criticism from the whites is poor policy at least. Would the bishop imply that the greater death rate among the colored race is due to immorality? If so, the gentleman should be better informed before addressing a thinking people. In nearly every city of any size in this country the Negro is forced to live in undesirable, unhealthy localities and in houses that are not sanitary; he is proscribed against in most public parks, recreation grounds, bathing beaches, swimming schools, etc. he is underpaid for his labor, overcharged for his purchases, rents, etc. Is there any wonder that their death rate exceeds the white death rate? "A careful search of facts will make it clear to the average mind that the white brothel can trace some of the causes for the large death rate among Negroes to the unchristian spirit so largely developed in the white people of this country. Does it not seem that the whites are sadly in need of Christian religion? Of this point I am sure, one cannot teach Christianity successfully when he possesses it not." DRUG STORE AT BOWLING GREEN, KY. [Special to The Chicago Defender, Bowling Green, Ky., November 14. The drug store operated here is being liberally patronized and is a credit to the race. It was established by A. J. Duncan, a graduate pharmacist.

[Special to The Chicago Defender.] Guthrie, Okla., November 14—This state has the honor of possessing as one of its young citizens the wealthiest colored girl in the world. She is the owner of 160 acres of oil land, which she has leased through her guardian, J. T. Porter, to the Standard Oil Company. Two wells have been sunk, one of which yields 2,000 barrels a day, while the second yields 1,800 barrels. Despite the fact that she is receiving $475 every day of her life, which amounts to $14,250 a month or $171,000 a year, she is ten years old and lives the simple life, as do her playmates. Her wealth came through land claims. Beginning the first of the year nine more wells will soon be in operation and if so Sarah's wealth will go into the millions. This, however, has not caused her good mother and father to get the big head, but they are living a comfortable life near Muskegue. BULLET GOES STRAIGHT Morrow Mistaken for Burglar and It Shot. Mr. A. Morrow, manager of the Hyde Park Shoe Shining Parlor 1545½ East 53d street, was shot Sunday at midnight by Dick Suncey or 4429 Dearborn street. In an interview with Ras Taylor, the proprietor of the business place where Morrow worked he said: "My manager was down near 31st street on Sunday evening and got pretty well tipped. He met a Charles Roberts, who helped to bring him home. When they got to the 45th block on Dearborn street Morrow insisted upon going to 4439 Dearborn street, the home of Dick Wallace. The man escorting Morrow did not know the right house and in they went. Mr. Wallace, thinking they were burglars, it being after 10 White People Alarmed. The white people have become so alarmed at the enormous wealth of this young girl that they do not like such wealth belonging to a girl of Afro-American blood. Some of the whites want to enamel her, others to use skin success so that she might pass. But the politicians are becoming so stirred up that they fly, making her white by passing a law to that effect. If so it will be the first time a brown skin girl has been made white by law. With all the traits and characteristics of an Afro-American she has too much money and must be white. It's the same old idea of the white man that whenever a Negro achieves any distinction, either in the scientific or literary world, some white men want to declare them white. When Fred Douglass began to show his master ability as an orator and great statesman white people wanted to claim him; when Booker T. Washington arose to the top of the ladder as the greatest of modern educators white men wanted to proclaim him as their own; when Prof. Du Bois wrote the "Soul of Black Folk," white men and women urged that he was white; when Prof. Scarborough wrote Greek text books he too was announced by white people as a white man; and now comes little Sarah Reactor to be made white. Little Sarah, like the above named men, will stay with her race. She is proud of her mother and father and the Afro-American blood that flows in her veins. When she becomes of age she will be sent to Fisk or Howard University, where she will be given a finished education. ONE OF THE DEFENDER'S STAUNCH FRIENDS ARRIVES IN CITY Mrs. Grace Walker Jackson of New York City arrived in the city Tuesday to remain permanently with her uncle, Mr. L. W.

Not only will those who were in attendance upon the splendid services of last Sunday realize some special benefits from the same during the week, but those precious old souls of our old folks home who were unable to be present will rejoice in receiving St. John's load of food provisions which her members so willingly brought and heaped about the chance rulls. This indeed was beautiful adornment for the pulpit, and a splendid evidence of the fact that God's people are man's best friends not only when he is surrounded with plenty, but in time of need. Dr. Wilson delivered two very able sermons during the day and very earnestly requested of his members to make the coming week a week of prayer and fasting preparatory to the quarterly Communion service of Nov. 10th. He also made mention his desires regarding the collection being taken up before the Communion sermon is delivered, and asked that each member and friend respond at once to the call and thus eliminate all unnecessary confusion. St. John looks forward to this day with great anticipations, hoping that it shall be a memorable occasion. Sunday evening, Nov. 16, at 6 o'clock sharp, the union meeting of the C.

Dr. Cook has certainly won the hearts of these people. Dr. J. C. Anderson, of Quinn Chapel, preached to a crowded house at 3 o'clock. We were pleased to have the following brethren with us: Rees, Carey, Wilson, Smyth, Griffin, Kinnis and Reeves. The choir rendered excellent music. Sunday, Nov. 16, is our rally day. Services during the day. Mr. Roye of India will speak in the afternoon. The choir will favor us with special music morning and evening. NEW HOPE FREE BAPTIST CHURCH. Sunday morning at 6 o'clock we have a grand and glorious time at our prayer meeting. We have quite a large attendance, and we enjoy an excellent time. Rev. Mary Jones preached for the congregation Sunday morning at 11 o'clock a very excellent sermon. Her text was, "Watch, therefore, for you know not the day nor hour when the Son of Man cometh," Matt, 25th chapter and 5th verse. At 3 o'clock we have preaching also. At 8 o'clock services the pastor, Rev. Rodgers, preached for us. Sunday School at 1 o'clock. Christian Endeavor meeting at 6 o'clock. Come out and enjoy a good meeting. Every Wednesday evening is preaching and Friday night is praise service. All of our meetings are full of the Holy Ghost. The second Sunday in each month is our rally day. GRACE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The annual roll call took place last Sunday moving at the regular session. There was quite an improvement in the attendance at the evening service which took place from six to seven o'clock last Sunday evening, and the meeting was quite interesting. Remember the Thanksgiving rally, which occurs Nov. 30th, and contribute the required $2.50. Prayer meeting—$ o'clock p. m. Wednesday. WALTER'S ZION CHURCH. The rally services at our church on last Sunday were well attended by friends from St. Mark's M. E. and St. Paul's C. M. E. churches, with a few visitors from other churches. The sermon by Rev. J. W. Robinson in the afternoon was a splendid effort, inspiring in every particular and highly appreciated by the members of Zion. Our class meetings for the last few weeks have been exceptionally well attended and the spirit of interest in the meetings is very marked. We are looking forward to a visit from Bishop Blackwell on the second Sunday in December, at which time we hope to raise the balance necessary to pay a THE CHICAGO DEFENDER YOUR SHOTGUN SHOULD BE USED ON LYNCHERS Wewoka, Okla., Nov. 14—John Cudjo, who killed Deputy Sheriff John Dennis in this county last week, was captured and brought here and a mob hanged him to a telephone pole. His body was afterwards riddled with shot and dedicated to Governor Cruce. Such a demoralizing effect has this hanging had upon the Negroes here that they are asking, "Are we human beings? Shall we stand for men to be hanged and shot down like dogs, or shall we do like the Jones boys of Mississippi?" Race men of Oklahoma must no longer stand for one of their number to be riddled with shot. Such acts are too barbarous to go on without a protest—not of words, but of manly defense. Not only was the race insulted, humiliated and dishonored, but the governor. If the state does not protect its citizens it is now time for them to protect themselves. The rights of every people have been secured only through bloodshed. Shall the Afro-Americans of this state continue to be strung up in front of courthouses and show no fight? For the honor of the race and our family, the future prosperity of our children, it behooves us to remain silent no longer, but to take to arms if necessary for our own protection. Such fefarious acts have gone on too frequently, and the "law" has merely winked. We have determined not to take it any longer, and hereafter Negroes of this section are going to fight or die. Mr. Moses Samuels, 6591 Rhodes avenue, got mad at everybody and everything on Wednesday while waiting for a car, because there was a blockade on the tracks ten blocks east. He said: "I'll be ding if I won't walk down to see the boys." And he did, from Rhodes avenue and 63rd to Grand boulevard. He hade the time at the rate of 60 miles an hour. From 51st to 47th his gait was at the rate of 58% miles an hour, 43rd to 31st and Michigan, his time varied but little, but when set on the home stretch, from Michigan to State, he made the time in nothing. The usual crowd was there to greet Mose, and they were all glad to see him looking so well after so long a siege of illness. Mose is now threatening to walk Peyton Weston for a match walk to Frisco. Young Man Making Rapid Progress. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Indianapolis, Ind., November 14. J. Walter Hodge is handling real estate for a number of the richest estates in the city and has an office right down town and the volume of business transacted amounts up to the hundred thousands. E. H. MORRIS AUTO SUIT. Wins Noted Case For Virgil Mackey. Virgil Mackey, 3353 State Street, had a big day in court during the week. He was run over a few weeks ago by a man with an automobile. He was a business man and a neighbor. Mackey was seriously hurt.

A special invitation is extended to the young men to join our Bible class. HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHUCHAI The services were largely attended and everybody enjoyed two good sermons by the pastor, Dr. C. Lee Jefferson on the Subject, "Prayer, Habit of Jesus Christ, and Christian Forbearance." The pastor commended the people for their success in meeting the financial obligations and exhorted them to make this a year of prayer for greater progress in Christian growth. The teachers and scholars were out in force and much interest was shown in the Bible study. Mr. J. G. Brumfield led the C. E. service and it was enjoyed by all present. The Pandora Club rendered the program at the Englewood Lyceum last Friday evening. ST. LUKE M. E. CHURCH. 558 E. 35th Street./Rev.' Edw. R. Lewis, Pastor. Our services are being held regularly each Sunday and we are glad to note the steady increase in membership and interest in our work. We have entered the second week of our revival services and we are still waiting upon the Lord to give us souls for our hire. We are earnestly praying and do believe that God will bless us in our efforts to save souls. Many were out Sunday morning and heard the pastor deliver that soul-stirring sermon from the text "What I do lack." So great was the interest and desire to have some one soul saved that an afternoon meeting was held, at which time many of the members promised to make a personal canvas during the incoming week to interest people in the community to attend the services during the week. Attorney L. A. H. Caldwell, our Lyceum president, launched his Lyceum library plan on last Sunday, and he hopes to have many books on the shelves by January 1st. He continues to furnish good programs each Sunday afternoon. We would like to have you visit us on next Sunday and learn what we are striving to do in this part of the moral vineyard. ST. MARK M. E. CHURCH. This church has been enjoying unusually good things the past weeks. Our pastor, Rev. Robinson, two Sundays ago, gave us one of the best practical sermons on applied Christianity in relation to the American saloon. He left no doubt in the mind of any Christian—in fact, in the mind of any right-thinking man or woman—as to his duty to put himself positively on the side of the home, the family, the human race, when he casts his vote. Last Sunday Rev. I. L. Thomas, general secretary of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension, preached. He gave us a most helpful sermon from the text, "I do the works of Him that sent me." SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH. Regular services every Sunday: 11 a.m., 8 p.m., Sunday school at 1 p.m., B. Y. P. U at 7 p.m. Prayer service Wednesday evening. The cantata rendered by the choir last Thursday night was a success. FULTON STREET M. E. CHURCH. The old Scott's M. E. Church of 1742 Fulton street will go in to their newly purchased church, known as the Fulton Street Church, 2223 Fulton Street. The pastor, Rev. H. M. Carroll, and his congregation will march from the old to the new church at 2:30 p. m. All the ministers and their congregations are invited. CHARITY CONCERT. The charity matinee at the Pekin theater on Thursday afternoon was a brilliant social success as well as financial. Miss Walker has been the cause of many hearts to be filled with love and laughter by giving institutions from $300 to $500 at her entertainments. She has given her service to the Utopia Neighborhood Club, White Rose Mission and Hope Day Nursery of New York, and the Busy Bees of Boston. All these organizations are for charity and Mrs. Walker has been a godsend in time of need. When she reached Chicago she thought of the Old Folks' Home and what a worthy institution it was and how the Young Men's Minstrel Company had come to their home's rescue last Easter; so she and her company volunteered their services. Mrs. Walker, Black Carl, Mrs. Byrd, Mr. Marshall, Ida and the entire company deserve the thanks of thousands of Chicago's citizens for helping such a noble cause. The Chicago Defender for one extends Mrs. Walker and her company thanks for Thursday's charity to the Old Folks' Home. FLATS SOLD ON SOUTH SIDE Several interesting transactions in valuable apartment and flat buildings figured in last week's real estate market. W. V. Jefferson sold a two-apartment building on Forest avenue near 33d boulevard. F. Abney & Company sold a 4-fat building on Rhodes avenue, near 36th street. The above properties were owned by Frederick H. Bartlett & Company. This company is now placing on the market a number of newly decorated two-apartments. Read their ad on the last page of this issue.

PETERSON Celebrates Birthday—Box Party at Pekin Theater. Mrs. John J. Peterson, 6022 Aberdeen street, celebrated her birthday last week and wound up at the Pekin theater with a box party. Mrs. Peterson was highly honored by her numerous friends and the celebration was a grand one. On Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Peterson attended Alda Walker show at the Pekin theater. Mrs. Peterson was handsomely gowned and wore a diamond brooch handed down from a great grandmother. Mr. Peterson wore a conventional full dress and looked as if the diplomatic season was on her instead of at Washington. Mrs. Peterson is known through the East and dictated to Washington society at one time. Last week Mr. and Mrs. Peterson entertained at dinner a few of their neighbors. SOUTH BEND, IND, TO ERECT NEW CHURCH [Special to The Chicago Defender] Southern Bend, Ind., November 14—Rev. Allen, pastor of the Olivet M. E. Church, delivered an able sermon last Sunday morning, the theme being "Perseverance." Rev. Allen was 11 years in Detroit, five years a presiding elder, and a great church builder. He comes here to erect a new church. There are brilliant evidences shown to warrant that he will be successful. The traveling agent of the Tuskegee institute has been in the city several days on business. Mr. C. B. Lewis of Chicago was in the city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart of Carroll and Sample street. BOSTONIAN HERE Seen at Theaters Alone But Has Chicago Sweetheart. "Elijah" Benjamin of Boston has been in the city all the week. His friends are wondering why it is that he has been seen at the theater by himself. Maybe he is trying to fool his friends by not taking "her" out and will steal her away to the "hub of the East." He has been at the Carter Villa for a week and last left night for Louisville, Ky., to be the guest of Dr. Ferguson, rector of the Merciful Saylor Episcopal Church. NASHVILLE FAVORED.

Another one of his playmates says the man that took the boy was colored. Arthur went home from school on that day and left his books in the house. Then he started out to play with several playmates. He was approached by a man who asked him if he liked automobiles, according to the playmates. He said he liked to ride in them. He was then asked if he liked street car rides, and he said he did. The stranger told him he would give him a ride some time. Arthur then left the playmates and walked along the street south with the man. At 48th street the two were seen to board a north bound State street car. The police are working on several theories. One has to do with the Holstein murder case. Two detectives have been assigned to the case. We hope they have not taken him for the copper-colored man they are so eager to get. [Special to The Chicago Defender. I Cairo, Ill., November 14.—G. P.

Soon after Oscar's mother called him to her to trim his finger qalls and Oscar said: "Don't trim so short, for all the sawdust will come out." Musician's Devotion to His Art. In 1838 Robert Schumann wrote to Clara Wieck: "I have given several hours hard study every day to Bach and Beethoven, and to my own work, and conscientiously managed a large correspondence. I am a young man of twenty-eight, with a very active mind, and an artist, to boot; yet for eight years I have not been out of Saxony, and have been sitting still and saving money, without a thought of spending it on amusement." RENT DON'T WORRY ABOUT RENTS We Have Just What You Want By MAURICE SMILEY. About the only reason for calling him "Biddy" was that he was such a "mother boy," as most of the folks in the neighborhood called him. Not that they looked down on him for being so devoted to his mother. That is, those whose opinion really amounted to anything. Of course some of the light-heads made fun of a man of twenty-five still "tled to his mother's apron strings," as they rang the changes on the old cheap witticism. Tom didn't care for that. Perhaps, however, he really did care after Millie Lee took the district school. He didn't want her to make fun of him. After Tom's father had worn himself out on the old place and had been gathered to his fathers, Tom's two brothers and sisters had "married off" one by one. But he stayed on, wringing by unremitting industry a scanty living from the rocky soil. If Tom had ever given any thought to setting up a home of his own, he had resolutely banished it. "It's a shame, Tom." his mother, wistfully, "that you should be tied down here on this old place to an old woman, when you ought to be setting up a home of your own." "All right, then," he replied, with a smile. "Tl bundle you off to the porchouse and strike out for the city." Then he caught his mother up in his arms and said, tenderly: "Never you mind, mother, I'm not worrying about it and why need you?" But all the same Tom did a good deal of worrying. For one thing, Mille Lee, while she seemed to like him more than any of the other young men in the neighborhood, was yet a little too fond, apparently, of Bud Brightton to preserve Tom's entire peace of mind. Then there was the matter of that black streak down in the pasture. Tom hardly dared to hope that there was coal down there. Secretly he was sinking a rude shaft, though he told his mother he was only digging a well to increase the supply' of water for the stock. Then came the day when he "struck it." He could hardly realize all that it meant when his drill hit the hard, black substance which proved to be an excellent quality of coal. When he went home that night two surprises awaited him. His mother was seriously ill and Millie Lee was waiting on her. For reasons of his own, he did not say anything about finding coal in paying quantities. He would stake his chance with Millie on the merits of the case and if she cared for him at all, she would accept a hard-working, poor man. He watched her as she prepared the evening meal and a sudden resolve took possession of him. "It looks awful homelike to see you around the old place, Millie." he said. "I've got something on my mind that I have had there for a long time." She paused in the act of taking the biscuits from the oven and possibly the heat from the stove made her face flush. "I know I ain't good enough for you," he went on, bluntly. "I haven't had any education. I've just been taking care of mother ever since I was a boy and I haint had the chance that lots of young men have had. You know what the old place is. There ain't much to be made out of it. It wouldn't support three people very well, specially when one of 'em has been used to better things." Millie was nervously setting the table by this time. She nodded as he paused, but neither of them noticed the disheveled figure peering in the doorway, the eaves wild with fever. "I don't mind telling you, Tom, that I would marry you if it was not for your mother. There isn't enough for us all. You will have to do something about her." Perhaps she put the test badly, for Tom thought she really meant that he must give up his mother and let her shift for herself. The thought cut him like a knife and he stared out into the night too paled to say anything for a time. "I can't do that, Millie," he said slowly. "I can't leave my old mother—not even for you. I didn't think you was that kind. I thought you was different." Before she could explain Tom had passed into the bedroom, to give a cry of alarm a moment later and rush out into the darkness. He found her wandering almessly along the road to the town, babbling incoherently in her delirium about "getting out of the way." Strong and tender arms bore her back to her home and beside the bed where Tom was kneeling Millie Lee put her hands on his shoulder and said: "I didn't mean it the way you thought, dear. I was only trying you. I only meant—that—I—" "That you love me too much to be a burden to me?" asked Tom in a whisper of fierce joy as his mother dropped off into a calm sleep. Millie nodded as she put her head where her hands had been. Our Thoughtful Sons Father and son were sitting on the porch step with the lawn mower a few feet away. They looked at each other. Then they looked at the mower. "Dad," said the youngster. "you're getting too stout." "Am I?" "Sure. it's a pity, too. Jack Perkins told me yesterday that his dad had reduced his waist measure four inches." "How?" "Pushing the lawn mower." There was a brief silence. The son got up and went in the house for his tennis racket and dad arose and tackled the mower. His Duty Is Plain. "How are plans for your house coming along?" "Splendid. My wife has finally laid out all the cupboards she wants, and now all the architects got to do is to build the house around them."

Feared the Worst: Arthur suffered so severely from toothache, due to a bad tooth, that his father finally insisted upon the aching sinner's removal. The little lard bore up bravely under the operation, but seemed troubled on the way home. At last he voiced the cause of his anxiety. "Papa," he asked, pale and trembling, "am I a cripple now?" Lambasted. A new trainer was engaged for the circus and was told to put a lion and a lamb through an act. He seemed nervous, and the next his boss asked him how he got along with the savage lion. "Sure, the lion didn't bother me much," he said, "but that durned lamb butted the daylights out of mal!" Not Just What She Meant: One of our best-known novelists, the most sentively courteous of men, arriving very late at a dinner party, was overcome with confusion—"I am truly sorry to be so shockingly late." The genial hostess, only meaning to assure him that he was not the last, emphatically replied, "O, Mr. _____, you can't come too late." Bifling a Barrel.

Bentley can he counted on to say the right thing at the right time. Maybe you have forgotten the big rush you were in last year when buying your Christmas presents. Remember the "shop early" slogan. And now everybody wonders why Alda Overton Walker didn't secure the Auditorium to accommodate the vast throngs who wished to see her. When all the neighboring cities were simply buried, snow the old reliable Windy City, was still blowing dust in the ocea of its loyal residents. Possibly Judge Kavanagh, who was the guest of honor at the banquet last Wednesday evening, never before realized that doctors and dentists were such cut-ups. Dr. Leonard Lewis reported to have said that in event the 8th Regiment is called to the front Provident Hospital will not be able to accommodate all the soldiers on the slick list. In order to make you feel that you have something to be real thankful about, the dealers on South Water street have sent out the cheerful news that turkeys will be higher this year. If you want to know in advance what is going to happen in Mexico listen to the discussion of hangers-on in almost any barber shop. What they don't know about—well, in fact, any subject—isn't worth knowing. The officers of the Eighth Regiment have a little way about them of picking out the best nights in the year to give their balls; this time they have selected New Year's night, and from inside information it looks like they were going to spring a surprise on their friends. Mary Margaret Bartelme, of the Chicago Court for Dellinquent Girls, enjoys the distinction of being the only woman invested with full judicial powers in the United States. With a squad of petticoat police to back her up, we should soon have the reputation of being the most moral city in the Union. Something like two thousand families are supposed to leave Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas about the 15th of December to sail for the gold coast of West Africa. Their purpose is to found an independent Negro republic, "Gold coast" sounds very alluring and the colony may fall into a veritable bonanza, but it would be well for them to buy return tickets in case they ever changed their minds. "The Council chamber of the City Hall took on a bright appearance yesterday when the portrait of Alderman Hubbard was unveiled." Short speeches were made by the Mayor and aldermen, and all of this about a colored man, for Alderman Hubbard is of that race, and he has been in public life in Toronto for a great many years. The Mayor fitly expresses what is thought of him: "He is one of the pillars of public ownership." This is but another instance where a member of our race who has been given an opportunity has more than made good. At the coming election we too must have a representative in the city council; it can be done if we lay aside our personal feelings, get together and work night and day for our candidate whoever he may be. THE PRESS. Something is going to happen. Almost every leading newspaper in the country of late has had something good to say of us. Our faults have not been overlooked, but our virtues have had an airing, something that has never so publicly been given them before. Are editors becoming more just or is it that they have never looked at the situation but from one viewpoint? Hereforeto the only time a member of the race got into print was when he had committed a crime. Then the world was informed that "a big burly Negro" did this or that thing, and always very heavy on the word "burly." Is it to be wondered at when these conditions obtained that good and bad were made to suffer alike, that the man who never had dealings with a colored brother should look upon him as a criminal or a being akin to a savage? It is said the press moulds public opinion, and it is true. That we have suffered for lack of its power can well be imagined. Today we take a long breath and peer far into the great beyond wondering if this is the beginning of of the end. Though we work night and day for one aim and one purpose, we must needs have help if we would succeed, and there is no human help more powerful than the press. Men who count for something, both white and black, have made appeals for justice, and the friendly press has spread the gospel of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" into every home in this broad land, with the result that a better feeling already is beginning to manifest itself. All power to the press. Y. W. C. A. NEEDED. At a recent meeting of Presbyterian ministers a plan was advocated to establish in every city a bureau which would have for its object the rounding up so to speak, of stray members of that denomination coming from other cities. This is a fine work as far as it goes, but they limit the field to their own church people. Even if every other denomination did likewise there would yet be plenty of room for work of this character in keeping a watchful eye over the thousands, especially young men and women, who find their way for divers reasons to big cities. The care of the lone young woman who enters our gates should command our immediate attention. The city affords a W. C. T. U., but the girl of color is not welcome, and we have nothing of our own to offer her. We have lately built a magnificent Y. M. C. A., which is doing a good of good work. But we must not re-occur on our oars until we have put on shoulders to the wheel and rolled up dollars enough to build a similar structure for young women. The Appomattox Club, always first in matters that concern the welfare of the race, intends to take this matter up in the near future and see it through to a finish. The columns of this paper are always open to furthering any plan for the betterment of the race. Do not forget that the "I Will" spirit prevails in Chicago and that you are a Chicagoan. We must have a W. C. T. U. LIVING IN HOPES. Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley is under the impression that when President Wilson is made fully aware of what is going on under Bourbon influence to disqualify a large class of patriotic citizens he will correct his mistake. Let us hope Mrs. Woolley is right and also hope that he learns of his mistake before he has served his term of office. This eleventh hour repentance doubtless is all right from a biblical point of view, but in politics it isn't productive of good results. The voters of today are not so easily led into supporting a candidate who has ignored them except when he wanted favors. Nor is it only the colored man who will remember his silence on subjects that mean so much to an oppressed people. It is absurd to think that President Wilson is ignorant of the charges that are being made against the present administration and, too, it is probable that a man as strong as he should be led by an element that represents the sum of the earth, an element that openly defies the very Constitution of these United States. President Wilson is indebted in a great measure to the colored people for the position he now holds. His gratitude, if he has any, seems loath to leave his system; but there is nothing to do now but wait. It is said everything comes to him who waits, and it has been wisely added, hustles he waits. It is well to do as Mrs. Woolley did—show our appreciation of the support our friends are giving us, for without them we would indeed have a hard time of it. A letter of thanks or a word of praise stimulates the receiver to renovate energy and usefulness. It costs nothing and means so much. Friends are the silver lining to our clouds, and we can not have too many of them. EXTRAVAGANT LIVING. Living beyond your means is a most dangerous thing to do, as it invariably leads to embarrassment and financial ruin. The time payment houses are almost directly responsible for the extravagant living of today. You are induced by the argument that a small amount only is necessary to pay down, the rest in convenient payments, to entitle you to anything from a thimble to a house and lot. How many have found out to their sorrow the delusion and snare of the flattering offers. Like a charge account at the store, you buy unnecessary things simply because you do not expend any real money at the time, but when settlement day rolls around you are not only astonished at the enormity of the bill, but you are unprepared to meet it, and that is just what these sharks want. In the purchase of a house, piano or household furniture they are polite and suave until you have paid in a good sum; then if a payment is missed everything is taken away from you and there is no redress because the contract stipulates the paid are the劼 until you have paid in the last dollar. To be poor is very inconvenient, but it is no disgrace; but nothing you cannot pay for; if you make a dollar save a part of it. It isn't your imperative in the matter of costly clothing, expensive house furnishings, automobile rider and elaborate entertainments; this neighbor may be better situated financially than you are, and if he isn't because he makes a fool of himself is no reason why you should. We as a race are prone to do these things, and as long as we will not see the folly of our ways we will be living from hand to mouth. Note how the Jew rises; you may see him selling shoe strings on the street; soon he has a little store in which the wife and the whole family work; they live as a rule in the back end of their place of business; they are frugal; they prosper, and soon they are looked upon as our most prosperous merchants; then comes their entrance into the social world. Not so with us; we want to start at the top and stay there, but too often we drop to the very bottom, all because we have not built a strong foundation. They say the Chinese are good imitators, but when it comes to dress and show the Negro takes the medal. Everyone can and should look neat, but it shows very poor judgment and exceedingly bad taste to indulge in things out of harmony with your pocketbook. J. C. NAPIER AND SEGREGATION That orders were issued in the Treasury Department which required white and colored employees to use separate rooms, to be separated in the lunch rooms and the colored clerks to be screened from public view, has been a well known fact throughout the country. Segregation signs were even notoriously posted in the Treasury Department, the department of the Hon. J. C. Napier. In a letter alleged to have been written to The Chicago Defender and dated October 4, 1933, Mr. Napier in part says: "I desire further to say that I think you are entirely in error in your estimate of the attitude of the Honorable, the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. McAdoo, in regard to the colored people. In conferences with this gentleman he has repeatedly stated to me in the most respectable and considerate terms that it was his earnest desire to do the very best he could be colored people, and that it was not his wish under any circumstances to do anything that would humiliate or depress them. . . . If you will give this statement as wide a publicity as you have given the large oblige, Very truly yours, J. C. Napier." This means that Mr. Napier knows that these acts of segregation existed or they did not exist. Why does the ex-registere or doodge the issue? Is he attempting by indirection that every thinking person, question which Mr. Napier must sooner or later answer to the satisfaction of his wronged race? We doubt that the ex-registere is morally capable of being the ingrate and traitorous rascal that our esteemed contemporary, The Chicago Defender, would paint him. On the other hand, if he is attempting to conceal the true estate of affairs or to condone them, then he is worse than Judas. It is inconceivable that he could be so despicable as to sell out the rights of his people who have placed confidence and trust in him. We are loath to believe such an assertion and yet no other logical construction or interpretation can be placed upon this letter.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER NINE MILLION PEOPLE BEGGING FOR FAIR CHANCE. Dr. Washington Speaking in Clear Terms to the Masters of the University In the October issue of Neal's Monthly Magazine, Prof. Kelly Miller, the learned sociologist and scholar, contributed a spindigly written article on the "Jungle Man." In the December issue of the same magazine Major John R. Lynch will contribute an article upon a timely and interesting subject. The World's Work of November, Dr. Booker T. Washington on "What I am Trying to Do," or "The Tuskegee Idea." Among other things Mr. Washington says: "Another thing that I have tried to do has been to bring the white people in the southern states and throughout the country into what seems to me a proper and practical attitude toward the Negro in his efforts to go forward and make progress. I am seeking to do this not only in the interest of my race, but also in the interest of the white race. "There are in the southern states three million Negroes. There are three million Negro children of school. Fifty-three per cent, or more than half, never go to school. Many of these Negro children, particularly in the country districts, are in school only from three to four months of the year. I am trying to get the white people to see that, both from an economic point of view and as a matter of justice and fair play these conditions must be changed. I am trying to get the white people to see that sending ignorant Negroes to jails and penitentiaries, putting them in the chain gang, hanging and lynching them does not civilize, but on the contrary, though it brutalizes the Negro it at the same time blunts and dulls the conscience of the white man. "I want the white people to see that it is unair to expect a black man who goes to school only three months in the year to produce as much on the farm as a white man who has been in school eight or nine months in the year; that it is unjust to let the Negro remain ignorant, with nothing between him and the temptation to fill his body with whiskey and cocaine and then to expect him, in his ignorance, to be able to know the law and be able to exercise that degree of self-control which shall enable him to keep it." EDUCATION FOR LIFE That Hampton and Tuskegee schools for Negroes are valuable not merely as excellent schools for the colored race, but for their important contribution to the present vocational education movement is the declaration of the United States Bureau of Education. In a pamphlet just distributed by the Bureau, entitled "Education for Life," tribute is paid to the work of Hampton Institute and particularly General Armstrong, its founder, who is looked upon by educators as a pioneer in the field of practical education. "General Armstrong possessed to a remarkable degree the gift of educational prophecy," asserts Prof. Peabody in the introduction to the pamphlet. "He foresaw and pretold with extraordinary precision the tendencies and transitions which within the last 25 years have practically revolutionized the principles of education. The training of the hand and eye as well as of the mind, the moral effect of technical skill, the conception of labor as a moral force, the test of education in efficiency, and the vanity of education without discipline in thrift, selfhelp, love of work and willingness to sacrifice—all these familiar maxims of modern vocational training were set forth by him with all the assurance of a social prophet." The pamphlet includes a brief sketch of General Armstrong's life and a collection of pithy utterances on aims and methods of education, many of which are distinctly helpful to those interested in present problems, according to officials of the Bureau of Education. It is felt that General Armstrong's theory and demonstration of practical education have proved to be right, not merely for the races for which they were immediately intended, but for boys and girls everywhere, since they represent a successful attempt to work out one or the most momentous tasks of our time—that of creating an education that shall be an effective force for training productive, efficient members of society.

Kee By Dr. A A Week Measure Hygieni will be scription Column WILLIAMS: CONSTIPATION — HEMORRHOIDS Constipation is one of the common banes of civilization. Rare is the individual (man or woman) who has reached adult life without having been at some time afflicted with this common but troublesome disease. Constipation, hemorrhoids or piles seem to be the accompaniments of civilization, because we observe that man and animals in the uncivilized state are rarely troubled with these diseases. The further away civilized man gets from nature the less attention he pays to the calls of nature, the more sedentary, the more limited and confined his physical action, and the more attention he gives to mental work and physical development, the less thought he gives to matters of bodily help, the more is he troubled with constipation and hemorrhoids. Among office workers, teachers and professional people in general, who give much attention to mental activities and social affairs, this trouble is most prevalent. Mental workers are very apt to neglect to answer the call of nature upon her first warning. It may be because it is not convenient to answer this warning, and it is then postponed to a more convenient time, thus setting the calls of nature aside and making it a matter of secondary consideration. Nature then rebels, and she often will not work when she is called upon by the individual. Constipation becomes a fixed habit. Young lades out of sheer modesty will often fail to excuse themselves or to frame up some excuse to answer the call of nature; consequently they have to pay for it. Hemorrhoids Among the results of constipation are hemorrhoids or piles due to overloading the bowels and straining at stools, thus causing an enlargement of the veins at the lower end of the bowel. If the bowel is not emptied at the first call of nature, or as soon thereafter as possible, the liquid portion is absorbed and leaves only the hard, lumpy mass, which mass is expelled with much straining—often severe pain—causing the congestion of the veins and a protusion from the rectum. Then the individual has hemorrhoids or piles. Prevention. Prevention of constipation should begin in early life. The child should be taught to answer the calls of nature at regular stated intervals. Irregularity is one of the great causes of this trouble. One should have a regular hour at a certain time each day to visit the toilet. The best time is immediately after breakfast. If you will drink a glass of water, hot or cold, on arising in the morning it will tend much to stimulate the activity of the stomach and bowels. The eating of breakfast tends to stimulate the bowels and stomach provided it is a mixed, well-balanced diet, eating fruits or cereals first; then immediately after breakfast one should go to the toilet to answer the call of nature. Nature may not answer at first; she must be coaxed and aided. The methods of aiding her must be changed from time to time. Reading a book or newspaper while nature is endeavoring to perform her duty. A cold water enema one morning and on the next morning use a suppository—a mild laxative but not drastic. Don't get into the habit, though, of taking laxatives daily. Such a habit is a great curse to our civilization. Rely more on obeying the calls of nature. Give nature a chance. If you will give nature a chance to walk alone and not be constantly trying to assist her by using a crutch in the way of strong medicine, patent cures, etc., to move the bowels, you will finally overcome this trouble. The best aid to nature is that man should regulate his diet, exercise and obey her calls at the time given. If you will use more coarse bread, graham bread, made with molasses, eat figs and other fruits with meals, use olive oil morning and evening, and drink a glass of water before going to bed and before breakfast of mornings, you will find that it will be a great regulator in relieving you of constipation. PROVIDENCE NOT TO BLAME By Health Department. We often see resolutions of condolence beginning with: "Whereas, it has pleased an all-wise Providence to remove from the scene of his earthly suffering, and after a long and painful illness, our beloved friend, John Smith, whose death from typhoid fever occurred on the blank day of blank," etc. Some day in the not-far-distant future a death from typhoid, the king of filth diseases, will invoke a resolution from the mourning friends of the deceased, which will read something like this: Whereas, through the criminal neglect, carelessness and incompetency of our city officials, our water supply was permitted to be polluted with sewage and other dangerous filth, to the extent of making it unsafe to use, and Whereas, as a result of such criminal carelessness, neglect and incompetency, of our city, our beloved friend and fellow-townsman, John Smith, was killed with typhoid fever, therefore be it Resolved, that we condemn the lack of care and vigilance shown by those Keep Healthy 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. Prevention. whose business it is to safeguard the public health and whose negligence and disregard of their official duties have caused the death of our friend and brought sorrow to his family; and be it further Resolve, that we carnestly urge upon the public prosecutor that he take immediate steps to bring before the bar of justice the men who in their official capacities are responsible for the death of our friend and for the presence of a dangerous and loathsome disease in our city. In the light of sanitary science we are becoming less and less inclined to place the blame on Providence for the sickness and suffering that are due to our ignorance or carelessness or both. God's agencies, if left to work unmolested, make the waters of our lakes and rivers pure. Men defile and pollute them. So, when an epidemic of typhoid breaks out in a community and is traced to a polluted water supply, the resulting sickness and loss of human lives should not be charged against an all-wise and merciful Providence, but rather to an ignorant, unlightened and careless community. There is a good deal of talk nowadays about good team work; this means the kind of work that is done when people combine together to do some very definite thing, or to accomplish some very definite purpose. This idea of team work is excellent. There is no reason either why it should not be used in carrying forward those movements that intended to improve community conditions. If there are matters in your community that need attention, conditions that need correcting, try some good team work and see what will happen. Whenever there is a child in distress, there should be some agency to offer immediate aid. Common humanity demands it and a Christian civilization can do no less. PULL TOGETHER. BROTHER R. R. MAN. The Railroad Men's Benevolent Industrial Association. This association solicits membership of the prudent, thoughtful and energetic men, men who read and think, men who observe each day conditions just as they are, silently cherish a hope that in some way something be done to bring about a better understanding between the Negro men engaged in railway service. What can we say? The demand of the hour is to make the most out of the best of life, to lay stress upon matters and questions of vital importance wherein pride and honor and self interest is or should be involved. The principles advocated by the Railroad Men's Association challenge the sincerity of the intelligent man's belief, and question the patriotism of his integrity. The association without fear or favor stands out upon its merits and seeks to stimulate in the minds of the public, and those who earn their living in service that capacity in the railway man, you owe it to your fellow man, you owe it to yourself as a man, to strive to better conditions, to encourage promotion. Each step taken leads to elevation. Success is the negro afford to prominence. Can the height of promotion his time or fail to see the necessity of co-operating with those seeking to advance his interest in this the greatest of modern industries? This is the civilizer and developer of the country. Stop and think what moncyrs are spent in six months by railroad men in saloons, five cent theaters and pool rooms between 21st street and 40th street on State street. These would establish an institution that could command and control more than a million dollars, whose influence could be felt throughout the length and breadth of the United States of America. Lack of confidence and extreme selfishness as they exist among the Negro employees hinder a rapid growth of the association that offers a death benefit, a share in the proposed home, a school of instruction, an employment bureau, and a number of other features as the association grows and their funds accumulate. We make a humble request. Give PRESIDENT. EDITOR'S MAIL. November 12, 1913.

Perhaps never in the history of the Carter Villa has there been assembled under its roof such a body of representative men as were seated at the banquet tables last Wednesday evening, to do honor to a man, the mere mention of whose name, touches a responsive chord in our heart. For Judge Marcus Kavanagh has always been a peerless and outspoken champion for the rights of humanity. The assemblage, under the auspices of the Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists' Association, brought together many prominent citizens, including Prof. George Burman Foster, of the University of Chicago, who has made stentorian pleas for the rights of the colored man. The affair was inaugurated with a reception from 8:30 to 9:30, at which time the guests were seated at the banquet table, a veritable garden of American Jewities and chrysanthemums. Covers were laid for forty, and a menu delectable as for gods on Mount Olympus was served until the hour of ten, at which time Dr. Herbert Turner, president of the association, in a happy humor, introduced the toastmaster of the evening, Dr. Spencer E. Dickerson, who presided with the eloquence of a Nei Hon. R. R. Jackson led the symposium, his topic beins, "The Negro in Politics." He recited countless instances where they have made good in all branches of government and have always been proof against the blandishness of money and favoritism. Attorney Louis B. Anderson, the next speaker, spoke very fittingly of "The Negro in Law," touching upon the responsibility of the lawyer always to be keen and alert to safeguard the rights of his people. Dr. George Cleveland Hall followed with an earnest plea for progressiveness. He compared conditions 40 years ago with those of today and urged still increased endeavors to keep pace with the march of human events. "You must keep running in order to stay where you are" was his slogan. The eminent socialist, Professor Foster, advocated economy and laid much stress upon the accumulation of wealth, since it is the synonym or a sine qui non of knowledge, power and privilege. He also sounded the warning against worn-out dogmas in the religious world; too long we have been wedded to the idols of self-enforcement, the possession of property, he said, was the best armour against all besetting evils. Maj. Franklin A. Dennison talked upon "The Negro as a Soldier." He recalled the fact that the Negro played a leading part in every war since the birth of the republic, giving his life blood to protect the rights of humanity and then being denied those rights for himself. He emphasised the fact that the espion de corps and discipline of the colored soldiers were best maintained by officers of their own color. Dr. Charles E. Bentley gave witness to the fact that personal contact was the best educator or leveller of the mountains of prejudice that races possessed. The good work of the N. A. A. C. P. was an example of what working in unison will accomplish for both races in America. The last speaker was Judge Kavanagh, bringing as he always does, messages of hopefulness and good cheer. Since the newspapers have published his strong pleas for the colored man he has received numerous testimonials from influential citizens that he only expressed their sentiments but without the courage of expression, he advised a friendly feeling being entertained against people who had prejudice but who had not understanding, and in the end it would all be made right when we knew each other better we would love each other more. Dr. Plummer offered a scholarly set of resolutions of praise and thanks, which was unanimously adopted, and a copy ordered sent to Judge Kavanagh. Drs. M. W. Bibb, A. L. Smith and Dr. Harry Garnes gave a reception committee hard to beat. Too much praise cannot be given the Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists' Club, and especially to Dr. J. M. Brown, who conceived and worked out this splendid affair that gave to the citizens of Chicago an opportunity to be heard on a subject nearest their heart. Poetical Hugo.

The Nonpartial Social Club held its regular business meeting at the residence of Mr. Enail Simpson, 2534 Rhodes avenue, on Friday evening, Nov. 7. The club's business having reached such a point that it was necessary to appoint an assistant secretary, Mr. Enail Simpson being appointed to that position. Some very meaning remarks were tendered the club by some of the host's relatives. Two committees were appointed for the social function which will be the latter part of this month or the first of next. The two committees were: Refreshment, Mr. Elmer Tolmeo; chair; Mr. Edw. M. Jones, and Mr. Scott. Invitation, Mr. Enail Simpson; chair; Mr. Edw. M. Jones and Mr. Howard D. P. Pettis. CARNATION ART CLUB. On last Thursday evening the Carnation Art Club gave its fourth annual reception at the home of the president, Mrs. John Guy, 910 N. Franklin street. The bright lights, the cutflower decorations, the gorgeously gowned women and gentlemen in full dress, presented a brilliant scene. The ladies of the club had on exhibition their work of the past year, and it can be truly said that every kind of fancy known to the "needle world" was on display on this occasion. FLEUR DE LIS Mrs. Kathryn Harper, 6037 Loonis boulevard, entertained the members of Fleur de Lis Art Club on last Friday afternoon. After an elaborate lunchcon, whist was played for two hours. Mrs. Cleaves and Mrs. Brooks were the visiting ladies. PEERLESS CLUB. The Peerless Club held its weekly business meeting at the residence of Mr. John Jeffrey Tuesday evening, Nov. 10. Owing to sickness Mr. Pearson, president of the club was absent from the meeting. This is the first time Mr. Pearson has ever missed a meeting, a record to be proud of. A delicious lunch was served the club after the meeting. Next meeting will be at the residence of Mr. Ganaway. Note—Peerless Club put a two-cent stamp on envelope sent to this office. THE SIONILLI GIRLS' SOCIAL CLUB Grotezes costumes, masks and funny makeup by members of the Sionilli Girls' Social Club furnished the means for a very delightful Halloween party at the residence of the little Miss Mable Slaughter, 3513 Calumet avenue, on Halloween night. A large banner with the name "Sionill" beautifully and neatly interwoven on a ground of blue and white, the colors of the club, and a genuine orchestra were the surprises that welcomed the club and its invited guests. The orchestra played genuine dance music and the little misses and the little masters took advantage of the occasion and danced. The reporter for the Defender was only allowed in the room with the parents for fear he would tell of the dancing, but the music, laughter and sounds of gliding feet portraying the terpsichorean art revealed the secret so zealously guarded. The impersonations by the masked members of different persons and things were very amusing, the honors going to Master Gerald White, impersonating Death, and Miss Ola Fleming, posing as a young man. The identity of each was not discovered until the masks were removed at the close of the party. Mrs. Slaughter, assisted by Mrs. James W. Woodlee, received. Many parents of the children were present, and, equally with the youthful pleasure-makers, enjoyed themselves. After refreshments, the parents gathered the members and the guests together, explained that it was ten o'clock, and in a few minutes all were speeding homeward, each wishing Hallowen came every night. J. C. WOODLEE THE TEXAS FELLOWSHIP CLUB. The Texas Fellowship Club held its monthly meeting at the Phyllis Wheatley Home, 3530 Calumet avenue, Sunday evening. Miss Foster and Mrs. Caldwell were hostesses. The meeting was a business session and many plans for future effectiveness were laid. After a short program refreshments were served. The Chicago Union Charity Club met at the home of Mrs. Laura Merrildeth, 233S Dearborn street, Friday evening, Nov. 7th. The club had the pleasure of having three gentlemen meet with them—Mr. Clark, Mr. C. Powell and Mr. Lyles. Each gave encouraging words to the club. Mr. Lyles gave a splendid talk on Siboria. The club was served a sumptuous luncheon, and a rising vote of thanks was extended the hostess. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Washington, 4504 State street, 3rd floor, Thursday, Nov. 20th. Mrs. E. Chandler, President; Mrs. M. Powell, corres. seey. HYDE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD SETTLEMENT. 5623 Harper (Formerly Jefferson) Avenue. Big things have happened so frequently at the settlement that for a week news was suspended in order that everything should be told at one time. One great thing of which the officers are proud is the local interest that is being aroused among the colored people. This was shown by the fact that Sunday, Nov. 9, was a record-breaking day in attendance, nearly 200 persons in all. It started by the St. Paul's Baptist Sunday school with a large attendance and the morning service of the church held their meetings in the settlement, where it was warm, clean and pleasant. All afternoon young folks came to read the good books provided for them. On Thursday evening, Oct. 30, a large auto van stopped in front of the settlement and unloaded a lot of nice furniture that is now being used to beautify the little settlement. Mr. and Mrs. L. Brockett Bishop, officers of the settlement, donated this valuable gift to this institution in the hope that the colored people will take greater pride in their own work. Oct. 31 the children, more than sixty in number, were dressed for a regular Halloween party, and after the frolic they were served with all the dainties of the season. A large number of adults were present and distinguished persons were among the number. Mrs. Myrtle Wintrey delighted all with her singing and Mrs. Walton and little Miss Nettles, a member of the settlement, played well. Lawyer A. L. Williams made a very forceful address on the need of clean recreation and a center for our people. Mr. and Mrs. Bishop both spoke. All the officers were present. VOLUNTEER WORKERS' CHARITY CLUB. This club met at the residence of Mrs. Frank Byron, 4340 Forestville avenue, Wednesday, Nov. 12th—Mrs. Clara Johnson, hostess. The large representation present were elated over the success of their bazaar, Oct. 30th and 31st, which has netted thus far $1.55. Master Clarence Brown Jones, the mischievously bad boy, whose tuition in the Y. M. C. A. will be paid by the club, will be formally presented with his membership card this week. Plans are being formed for a repetition of last year's Christmas celebration to the poor children; also our annual festivities for the Home of the Aged and Infrim. It is the aim of the club to alleviate as far as possible the suffering and want of the really needy. Visitors present: Mrs. T. Mason, Miss Jennie Lawrence, M. M. Love and Mrs. Robt. Jones, Light refreshments were served by the hostess. ALICE J. CALDWELL, Journalist. SUPERIOR CLUB. The Superior Social Club entertained last Saturday evening at the home of Miss Lillian Patterson on Forest avenue in honor of its president, Miss Marie Pace, who leaves in a few days to enter Lake College at Jackson, Tenn. A most delightful evening was enjoyed. Miss Pace won the whist prize and Miss Mabel Radcliff the booby. The club very much regrets to lose its president, Miss Pace. Miss Lillian Patterson, the vice-president, will take the duties of president, and with Miss Mabel Radcliff, the secretary, and Miss Margerite Roberts, the treasurer, will maintain the present high standard. Mrs. F. S. Alexander and Mrs. Shackleford are the club chaperons. PHALANX CLUB Sunday afternoon at 4 p. m., the president of the Phalanx club was greeted with nearly the full membership of the club, which now numbers about 150. There was an out-pouring of high spirit and mutual admiration over the spontaneous growth and prospective success of the work which these earnest, enthusiastic men have set out to accomplish. Two months ago the membership of this club was 16 postal employees. With an infusion of new ideas, a reorganization and a rehabilitation, today it lays claim to a hundred and fifty members. The golden prize to be attained is the organization of every member of the classified government service in Chicago. The door is now open and all are invited to join, while the times are good, so that the strength of numbers may be able to afford some assistance and protection to its members when such may be needed. The lines upon which the club is now working seem to assure a permanent and solidified organization. One among the many good things contemplated in this mutual work is a sick benefit department, which will help to relieve the tension and distress of its members during a period of illness. This club also affords a social connection for its members, which is unique, thoroughly sterilized, literary and highly entertaining. Besides the musical program last Sunday, the members listened to brilliant speeches which divided honors with oratory and philosophy. The honored guest was Attorney S. Lang Williams. 31st St. Garage 12 East 31st Street The Wakefu when children with the tooth avoided if the children are br akeful N The Wakeful Nights when children with the toothache suffer its tortures, can be avoided if the children are brought to us and the aching/tooth extracted.

UNDER AT ALL "L" STATIC CHICAGO CHICAGO --- --- Big shows seem to have been the feature of the week at most of the play houses along the Stroll. The pace has been set by the Grand and other houses know it is impossible to draw the crowds unless they deliver the goods. The bill at the Grand this week is a corker, every number a big timer. When Yamamoto Brothers, who opened the bill, started to do their stunts on the slack wire it was thought they would present the old, tiresome feats; but not so. They sprung some exceptionally clever surprises in the audience and made good. Frisco Four, comedy singers and dancers, were above the average and seemed to make a favorable impression. James Kennedy and company presented, and presented artistically, as neat a playlet as has been seen at this house in some time. It was entitled "Looking for Father," and every moment was punctured with a laugh. Marshall and Tribble, undoubtedly the greatest comedians upon the vaudeville stage today, simply made the audience go wild with cheers and laughter. These two artists are prime favorites in the "Windy City," and their name only needs to be billed to fill the play house to overflowing. The Fern Biglow Trie closed the record-breaking bill. THE WALKER CHORUS GIRLS. Mrs. Aida Walker has the prettiest and most charming young girls with her that have been seen on the stage in recent years. They are all young and beautiful trained dancers. Miss Hazel Thompson is a Chicago girl, a dalty dancer and artistic from every viewpoint. Misses Lillian Williams and Hazel Creel are two very refined young girls and dance with great alacrity. Miss Annette White has the sweet soprano voice and may become a star. She leads the chorus numbers. Then there is Miss Rosena Alexander, a very dainty soubrette, late of the Smart Set, and Miss Theresa Dixon of the same company help to make the Porto Rico girls, a set of beautiful dancers. The Happy Girls are Miss Kathryn Jones, who does the tango with Miss Marion Potter and Miss May Brown, who make a hit every performance. They are the best dancers out of New York and the Devil Dance by Miss Thompson pleases and mystifies. Misses Louise Cooke and Nettie Anderson are girls with splendid voices. Miss Ida Day takes a very prominent part in the show and her dancing is exceptionally clever. Mrs. Walker has the public's hearty congratulations for having a dainty and charming set of pretty maidens. The one big hit of the show aside from Mrs. Walker is Mrs. Sarah Green-Byrd, the soloist. She possesses a remarkable voice, sweet, of high range, and well trained. Mr. Marshall works cleverly and is, one of the most unique dancers on the stage. HAPPY GIRLS ENTERTAINED. Miss Hazel Thompson and Miss Mae Brown, Happy Girls in the Aida Overton Walker company, were entertained with a luncheon and auto ride on Thursday evening. The Happy Girls leave Monday for Bloomington, Ill., and will return to Chicago the following week. 1 Don't forget the Foresters' ball, Than'egiving night, First Regiment Armory. Garfield Wilson Orchestra. Admission 50 cents. -15-22 GEORGE WILLIAMS BENEFIT. Affair Brought to a Successful End at States Theater. The testimonial benefit given George W. Williams took place Nov. 7 at the States theater and cash and checks amounting to $50 was turned over to Syd Perrin, George's representative, by the committee in charge. The net receipts amounted to the above after the printing, postage, engraving and advertising expenses had been deducted from the gross, and the following will explain itself: To the Committee: I consider the amount turned over to me by you to be a full and honest division, after having gone over the itemized account of expenses in a careful manner, and am satisfied that there has been an honest and straightforward distribution of the money that was accrued in behalf of said benefit. (Signed) SIDNEY PERRIN for Williams. (Witness) TONY LANGSTON. for Committee. The orchestra and the management of the States Theater cannot be too highly praised for the liberal manner in which they donated their services and the use of the house, and the performers who volunteered their services produced one, of the strongest vauces. the bills ever seen in Chicago, and while the audience wasn't quite as large as was expected, it was a very select one, and all left the beautiful States Theater well satisfied. MADAME HACKLEY Sings Before Students of Kentucky Normal Institute. (By Hardin Tolbert.) Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 14.—The State Federation of Women's Clubs throughout the commonwealth is making preparations to have the largest meeting in the history of club work at Lexington, the popular center. Mrs. Tibatha L. Anderson, the energetic state organizer, is making strenuous efforts to rally all of the clubs in Lexington, Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. There seems to be more interest manifested in the club work than here ever has been. Mrs. L. S. president of the Federation of as sent notices to all the clubs to send their delegates, because they would be entertained both intellectually and socially. Madame E. Axalia Hackley, the nightingale soprano of the race, gave a song recital at the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, in Hume Hall. All of the students turned out in a body, and some of the music lovers of the city were present to hear Madame Hackley's song recital and demonstrations. She devoted a few minutes to a lecture to her hearers, which they all highly appreciated. The people here are always glad to extend welcome to such talents as Madame Hackley. Meet me at the Foresters' ball, First Regiment Armory. Garfield Wilson Orchestra. Admission 50 cents. —15:22 THEY DON'T ADVERTISE IS THE REASON. So many people wonder why it is that musicals in Chicago are not a success. The reason is they don't properly advertise in the proper medium. Every musical that has been a success has used the press, and the ones that did not have been failures. It's a pity to see only a corporal's guard at a musical when some big person is billed and no one present. CLARENCE WHITE, DIRECTOR. Mr. Clarence White, the celebrated violinist and director of the Victorian Concert Company, has issued programs for musicals for the season of 1913-14. The first will be December 17 at St. James Hall, Boston, Mass. Mr. George Ruffin will be the soloist. Thirty people are in the orchestra with Charles H. Sullivan manager and organizer, and David A. Johnson, secretary. ABLE DAY. Tuesday was Able Day at the Pompei. The Mineral Springs Cafe entertainers furnished music. Songs were sung in honor of Mr. Will Vodeny. Miss Rosena Alexander of the Porto Rico Girls, with Aida Overton Walker, is engaged to Mr. Zeb Kittrebom of this city. Lilliard and Lilliard were in the city last week. Charles Turpin of St. Louis, Mo., was anxious for Aida Walker, but Klein and Turpin could not make a satisfactory agreement. Madame Carolyn Montgomery of McKeesport, Pa., is the singer who possesses a pure, deep, mellow contralto voice, rich in tone and coloring, that is expected in Chicago some time soon to give a joint recital with Mme. tennie Watts Brown of this city. Mme. Montgomery has sung before a number of large audiences and has always made a big hit. MADAME PATTI BROWN Sing-Tell-Play Company Warmly Received at Jamaica. (Special to the Defender.) Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 14.—Madame Anita Patti Brown and her Sing- Tell-Play Company arrived here today and will give a concert tonight, and on Sunday night will render a sacred concert. Their coming had been heralded here by cable, and the press has spoken of them most favorably. They will travel in Jamaica for the next two weeks.

Mrs. Alonza Thompson of 3732 Calumet avenue entertained six ladies at a very unique and dainty luncheon Saturday, week ago, from 2 to 4. Those present were Mesdames James Newsome, William Ousley, Norman Croker, Julius N. Avendorph, Thomas Carroll and S. S. Paul. All spent an enjoyable afternoon, and as usual Mrs. Thompson proved a charming hostess. WHY NOT APPLY? Perseverance Needed For Race Men to Get Jobs. The reason colored men are not on elevated trains and surface lines as guardsmen is because they do not apply—they make no effort to secure the work they can do. There is no objection to colored men working with the union men, so it's the guards. It is claimed that the guardsmen would rather work with colored men than foreigners who do not speak the language and don't know the customs of the people. Let colored men apply and report to the Defender office the result. ```markdown ``` At the time when Greece was the empire of the world a celebrated potter who lived in Corinth moulded a vase. He carried the vase to Thebes, in which city the great painter Apples was then sojourning, and thereupon induced him to paint upon the vase the portrait of a woman, the most beautiful in all Greece. The potter returned to Corinth and cast his vase in a seething furnace, whence it came forth virtually imperishable, a masterpiece of classic pottery. The potter believed that the painting of Apples would never fade and he called it "The Amaranthine Vase." For several months the potter exhibited his vase in his shop. One day a great noble came to the potter and offered a sum that meant wealth and happiness for all his days. The vase was sold. In the year 146 B. C., the Roman Consul Mummius, at the head of his legions, entered Corinth. After putting the men to death and selling the women and children into slavery he plundered the city of its precious treasures—among them the vase. For many years this gem of the potter's art remained in Rome and was shown in the palaces of successive emperors. Finally the vase fell into the hands of the family of the Medicl and after several centuries was removed to Paris, where it took its place among the treasures of the Louvre. In the reign of Louis XIV, it was stolen from the palace and sold to an ignorant dealer in bric-a-brac. Bought by an English nobleman it crossed the channel and proved the delight of several generations of ceramic hunters. George Chalmers was a struggling young artist. His struggle was not only for home and to gain the young girl he loved as his wife, but for the bare necessities of life. One evening as he was going to his studio—the garret of one of the better sort of tenements on the east side of New York—he was attracted by a notice advertising the sale of artists' materials, which appeared in the sooty window of a dingy junk shop. He went inside, and while overhauling a lot of brushes and paints his eye fell on a startling bit of coloring that gleaned from a pile of bric-a-brac in one corner of the shop. Going over to the nondescript heap of rubbish he leaned down and saw a face about the size of a silver dollar enameled on the surface of a vase. A tremor went through the young artist's frame; his eyes grew wide with amazement. "Surely that was the work of a great master!" With a trembling hand he reached down into the heap of rubbish and, exercising all the care he could, he disengaged it from the mass of broken china and chips of iron and brought it out into the light. He trembled all ever as the conviction seized him that he had discovered a treasure of enormous value. A sharp bargain with the owner and he hurried out into the street and was soon in his shabby little studio. Displacing a bust of the Venus de Milo, which had occupied a bracket on the wall, he carefully dusted off his vase and gave it the most commanding place in his studio. Long into the night he sat before the vase and studied the transcendentally beautiful coloring of the face. The following day found the young artist working away with all the enthusiasm of genius. Day followed day and still the almost inspired young man stuck to his canvas. What he had eaten for a week would not have made a hearty meal. In an hour's time he would have given the finishing touches to his work of art. He did not hear the heavy creak of advancing footsteps on the stairs, nor did he see the three rough-looking men and the landlord advance into the room. The landlord spoke and brandished a paper in his hands. The young man was oblivious—his dream had deadened all his senses. One of the men stepped forward, and, raising his arm with a mocking laugh, dashed the vase-model from its bracket, sending it crashing in a thousand pieces to the floor. Gerge Chalmers woke to the present. He looked at his vase, an impossible broken mass on the rough board floor. He looked at the landlord and the two men, and his eyes shone with the grief that comes with a broken heart. He closed his eyes and sank back in his chair. On the following day the name "George Chalmers" appeared on one of the sudden death slips to become a part of the dry, voluminous records of the coroner's office. Italian and Austrian Navies Italian and Austrian Navies. A recent estimate of the comparative strength of the Italian and Austrian navies is substantially correct. In personnel, officers and men the figures for Italy are 29,941; for Austria, 12,890. The Italian war fleet—battleships, cruisers, gunboats, destroyers, monitors, torpedo boats and submarines—numbers 175 craft, the Austrian, 66. There are 9 first-class modern battleships in the Italian navy and 6 first-class cruisers; in the Austrian navy, 12 first-class battleships and 9 first-class cruisers. Thus it will be seen that the Italian navy is much the stronger of the two. Marooned Ten Years Compare the feat of Joseph Knowles, the Boston artist who went naked and empty-handed into the Maine woods and sustained life for two months, with this story which comes from Hudson's boy: Ten Eskimos have just been rescued from an island in the bay upon which they have been marooned for ten years. They were caught on drift ice and carried to this island, there to subsist on fish and seal meat. Several children were born during the ten years.

One of the queerest trades in real life is that of the elderly South London man who stands daily at a very congested crossroad and assists children over the thoroughfare. Some 16 years ago he started this occupation out of sheer benevolence, and has been doing it ever since. The small sums and the Christmas gifts he receives from the parents of the children serve to eke out his pension.

Firing w few shots to convince the chuckting engincer and fireman that they were real brigands, despite their poor memories, the men rode off into the forests to hide their shame. ‘The Wain holdup itself was of the regular frontier order. The denoue- ment, however, proved: the greatest farce ever enxeted in that robber: ridden region of pioneer days. In the tall grass a mile and a half west of Homestake, the bandits had deposited balf a wagontoad of paraphernalia when no one was looking. There were torpedoes, masks und automatic pis- tols, but most Important of all, dyna- mite, Equipped as they thought for final action, the men awaited the arrival of a limited train on the Northern Pact tie. Torpedoes were exploded at the ‘opportune time. When the engineer and fireman blithely skipped down the locomotive step the robbers were there to meet them and give orders, With- Jn a minute the express car was un- coupled from the rest of the train and with masked bandits aboard, the loco: motive was run through the tunnel. Four hundred feet beyond the tunnel exit, the highwayman chief com: manded the engineer to stop. ‘The or- der was obeyed and the engineer Turned to face his “superior officer.” By the light of the firebox be saw the bandit was perplexed, “What's the matter, boss?" he asked. Ignoring the inquiry, the rob- Al: ah " CM a tax he _ ne ih fe VL. wD peal Yo ber chieftain said to his coufederates: “I've forgotten the dynamite; it's back with the train.” “Tee hee,” twittered the engineer. “A fine specimen you are,” sald the fireman. “\Ve'll go back and get it for you.” “Make ‘em run back,” said one rob- ber, but his chief objected. “Every- body in those cars will be awaiting with cannons.” he said. “The job's off boys."

The board of the Home for Aged and Infirm People, 510 Garfield boulevard, wishes to show its appreciation to Mrs. Aida Walker by thanking her for a donation of $50 which she presented the home. The matinee was poorly attended. Every person there could have been comfortably seated on the first floor. When playing for her matinee she played to a packed house, and we feel that the benefit for so noble a cause should have been equally as well attended. However, we are proud to feel that at least Mrs. Walker was charitable, and for which we are truly grateful.—Dr. C. Golden. BUSINESS GROWING Has Wagon Delivery—Men Wear Uni form. (Special to the Defender.) (Special to the Defender.) Lexington, KY, Nov. 21.—Mr. George Washington conducts the largest clothes pressing and cleaning establishment in that city of 35,000 population. The drivers of his delivery wagons are all uniformed. He also conducts a successful haberdashery. Recently he opened another establishment directly across the street from his main store, which he conducts under another name, to cater to a cheaper class of patrons. His two places give him a monopoly of the business. "HAPPY SHOW GIRLS" PLEASE Show Girls Make Hit in Illinois Town. (Special to the Defender.) Bloomington, Ill., Nov. 21.—"The Nappy Girls" of the Ada Overton Walker company played here to packed houses. Miss Hazel Thompson and Miss Mae Brown made a big hit in their artistic dancing.

News of the Churches ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. By Frank C. Lowry. Sunday morning service, 10:45 a.m.; Sunday school, 1:15 p.m.; intermediate Christian Endeavor prayer meeting, 6 p.m.; Senior Christian Endeavor prayer meeting, 7 p.m.; evening service at 8; mid-week prayer meeting, Wednesday evening, 8 p.m. Great was the success of the quarterly meeting services of last Sunday. Large crowds turned out to the morning service to greet the new presiding elder, Dr. D. W. Cook, who kindled a flame of sacred love in every heart by his forcible and inspiring discourse. Another beautiful feature of the service was the baptizing of Dr. and Mrs. Wilson's three little ones—Alice Christina, Robert Edmund, Jr., and Gloria Easter; and also one of the recent converts—Mrs. Alice Burton. This phaze of the service was most solemnly carried out. Next in order was the Communion service, and at 3:15 the church was crowded to its capacity. After the contribution was lifted, for this was taken up very quietly, before the most sacred part of the service had been reached, Dr. Carey, the speaker of the hour, delivered with great force and eloquence his message from above, using for his text these words, "Will a Man Rob God?" His perspicuity of language and spirit-guided truths left a deep and lasting impression upon the hearts of his prayerful hearers. St. John feels proud of the success of this day, and wishes to thank everyone who assisted them in accomplishing the desires of their hearts. ST. MARY'S A. M. E. CHURCH. Services, 10:45 and 7:45; Sunday school, 1:30, T. W. White, superintendent; Christian Endeavor, 6:45, L. Jones, president. The rally was quite a success last Sunday. Rev.

ZION CHURCH 35th and Dearborn Sts.—Rev. H. J. Callis, Pastor. The special services held in the Fulton Street M. E. Church on last Tuesday night, by the members of our church and of St. Paul's C. M. E. Church were a splendid success. The attendance from St. Paul's was not so large, but enthusiastic, while Zion was out in large numbers and was accompanied by its vested choir. Mrs. C. J. Jackson, the organist, and the members of our choir generally deserve high praise for the excellent music rendered on this occasion. The offering was over $2. Our services last Sunday were well attended all day. Both sermons by the pastor were of the usual high order and enjoyed by both audiences. Mrs. Esther. Thompson united with the church at the evening service. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society is preparing a splendid program for Woman's Day, the last Sunday in this month. The program will be published in next week's issue. Our services for the first Sunday in December will be as usual, omitting the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, since our second quarterly meeting occurs on the third Sunday in the month. Friends and members of the church are asked to bear in mind the second in December as Supplementary Rally Day. The Rt. Rev. G. L. Blackwell, our presiding bishop, will be with us all day and preach at the morning and evening services. Enclosed please find "Thanksgiving" check. SENDS CHECK. The Defender is in receipt of a check from Rev. Callis of Waters A. M. E. Zion Church as a token of Thanksgiving. His church will have a Thanksgiving Day dinner at 12:30, with special services on that morning. Major F. A. Denison is on the program and all the veterans of the civil war are invited. The Defender invites everyone to attend this service and eat their Thanksgiving dinner at this church. We are very grateful to Rev. Callis and his church for their kind remembrance. ST. LUKE'S M. E. CHURCH. On last Sunday, St. Luke was blessed all day. The pastor preached a great sermon at the morning service, as usual. At 7 o'clock in the evening a band of Gospel singers conducted the service. There was a reviewing of our covenant with God, and oh how our hearts were made to rejoice. Many were present and were spiritually made stronger for having attended this meeting. We hope to have these gentlemen with us again soon, who see the necessity of going around the city talking and singing for the Master. St. Luke was well represented at the dedication on the West Side last Sunday and contributed very liberally to Rev. Carroll. On Thanksgiving Day the pastor THE CHICAGO DEFENDER [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Washington, D. C., November 21.—Only white persons can become members of the new club organized by and for the employees of the Interior Department. Mrs. G. D. B. Gordon (nee Miss Arsine Elizabeth Jones), for the past three years clerk and stenographer at Freedmen's Hospital, is to join her husband in Kingston, Jamaica, about the middle of December. Mrs. Gordon was married a few months ago to Dr. Gordon, who had come to this country for special instruction in advanced hospital work, and the nuptials were the culmination of an interesting romance growing out of the acquaintance thus formed at Freedmen's. Dr. Gordon purchased an expensive surgical outfit before leaving, and at Kingston has opened the most up-to-date office known in the medical annals of Jamaica. Counselor Napoloon Bonaparte Marshall, well known to Washington, has been admitted to the bar of New York City and has embarked in the active practice of law, officeing with Counselor Philip M. Thorne in the great Singer building on lower Broadway. Mr. Marshall is a graduate of the law and collegiate departments of Harvard University and was prominently mentioned in connection with the post of minister to Haiti under the present administration. He is one of the best equipped men of our race in the country and will succeed in his newly-chosen career. Already Mr. Marshall's friends are booming him for a lucrative position under the Mitchel government in New York City. Major Charles W. Fillmore, who transferred from Washington to New York City primarily to assist the colored people of the Empire state to secure a Negro regiment, is pleased over the partial victory of having a provisional regiment ordered, but is of the opinion that the establishment of such a regiment will not be finally allowed unless white officers are accepted by the promoters of the plan. The matter is still up in the air. Mr. William Webb Banks, who spent a week here recently, following a trip to New York City as Kentucky's Commissioner to the Emancipation Exposition, contributed a column letter to the Winchester (Ky.) Dally Sun upon his return home. The article describes in graphic language the delightful experiences of Mr. Banks and his amiable wife while in Washington, telling of the social courtesies extended by society leaders, and making note of the things heard and seen at the capital, the White House, Mt. Vernon, Howard University, Miss N. H. Burroughs' school and other points of special interest. Mr. Banks showed himself to be a splendid traveler and a close observer of sights worth seeing. Mr. and Mrs. Banks think mighty well of Washington and its hospitable people. Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce was the principal speaker last Sunday afternoon at the special meeting of the Baptist Young People's Union at the Second Baptist Church. C. G. Woodsen, of M Street High School, presided. Pastor W. Bishop Johnson made interesting remarks. The Maryland brand of the "grandfather clause" is being aired in the Supreme Court. Dr. Frank J. Cardozo, charged several months ago with improper relations with a girl pupil, has been acquitted after an exhaustive trial and thorough re-examination by the courts. This week Dr. Cardozo was triumphantly reinstated in the public schools, from which he has stood suspended since the formulation of the charges. Tuesday night was "Howard University Night" at Bethel Literary. A big crowd was on hand and the students made the welkin ring with their yells, songs, class claps, etc., while President S. M. Newman, Dean Kelly Miller, Secretary Cook and others delivered notable addresses on educational topics. Miss Lyllyn Brown, the versatile vaudeville artist, singer and impersonator, played a highly successful engagement last week at Dudley's. She won a host of new friends and packed the house slightly. Miss Brown was assisted by Mr. Will Demont, a blackface comedian, who is drolery personified. The team is resting this week and entertaining a group of the "My Friend from Kentucky" company at their home, 524 T street, N. W. Miss Brown is still of a notion to take over a theater here, if she can get a satisfactory location and terms. T. Spencer Finley, one of the bestposted theatrical geniuses in the country, may become manager of the new theater which the Lincoln Amusement Company is putting up for colored patrons at Cincinnati, Ohio. He would make a good one, and the Buckeye people had better close the deal at once, before some one else snaps him up. T. Thomas Fortune may be persuaded to deliver his lecture here while on his tour of the Atlantic States. Mr. Fortune is always heard with pleasure in Washington, where he is widely acquainted and personally popular. A boycott has been started on the officials of the B. & O. railroad, who are known to be actively identified with the segregation movement in Baltimore. More on this next week. King and Gee, the "Ginger Girls", are in New England on the Loew time. The marriage of Miss Gee will not cause the team to break up. They are now in the zenith of their fame as vaudeville topliners, and Mr. Kyer is PETER B. will preach in the morning and the Ladies' Aid will serve dinner all day. Please be one among us on that day to give thanks to God for having spared us. NEW HOPE BAPTIST New Hope Baptist Church held its regular meetings Sunday as usual.

CHURCH Rev. Robinson of St. Marks A. M. E. Chapel took his text from twenty-fifth Matthew. In the first part of his sermon Rev. Robinson stated his belief in heaven, and asserted that immortality, the hope of the soul, should not, could not, be taken from us. Rev. Robinson then made a strong plea for social righteousness and pleaded with the Christians to continue their good works and with the unsaved to prepare for the certain coming of Bridegroom. Two additions to the church were the rewards of his labors. In the morning a woman evangelist spoke. Her text was found in twelfth Hebrews. Her sincere, forceful sermon was attentively listened to. We will be glad to hear from her again. PROVIDENT CROWDED Friday morning a Defender reporter called at Provident Hospital and found Mr. Williams to be resting nicely after the operation and there is great hope for his recovery. Mr. Williams secured the last bed in Provident. There has been so much illness and so many operations imperative that every bed in the hospital was taken. Even though the hospital is crowded, every effort possible is being done to give the patients the best of service and medical skill. Dr. Hall's Interview. A message over the 'phone from Dr. George C. Hall on Friday morning early, he stated that while his condition was very serious, he had hopes for Mr. William's recovery.

The reporter being unable to learn his name At this time the teachers and the public school are progressing nicely.

All members are requested to be present. Quite a bunch of the young society beaux and bellies attended the movies Saturday night. Among the most notables were Mr. Chas, Tifton and Miss Willie Harper and Mr. Nathaniel Pursley and Miss Eva Collins. They occupied seats. Rev. H. G. Harris and the Baptist church are doing a great work, the influence of which is being felt all over the community. What is true of this church is also true of the A. M. E. and C. M. E. churches here. We see the great spirit of God in most deliberations and gatherings held. Mr. Sam Powers is contemplating going to Oakland, Calif., for his health. Dr. Samuel Cunningham, our energetic young dentist and wife, are well pleased with the Defender. They have a neat and pleasant home on Howe street.

MISS RUTH BRADLEY REALTY BROKER Young Woman a Real Estate Broker. (Special to the Defender.) Kansas City, Kan., Nov. 21.—One of the biggest surprises that has come to the people of the Sunflower state is the business ability exhibited by the young and talented Miss Ruth Bradley. Eight months ago she conceived an idea for business. She launched into the real estate business at 400 Haskell avenue and now she has a branch office at 206 Portsmouth building, Topeka. By constantly nursing the business, renting houses and selling real estate, she has become one of the leading business women of this section. Miss Bradley was educated in the public schools and comes from one of the finest families in the state. The many friends of this young woman are congratulating her efforts, and it is not far distant before she will have a big office, giving employment to young men and women of the race. Miss Bradley visited Chicago last year, the guest of Miss Jones, who teaches here. She is expected to go to Chicago on business after New Year's. Chicago Defender Greatly Sought.
