St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 21—Mrs. Mary Church Terrill, Washington, D. C., one of the most brilliant women of the race, has been attending the Purity Congress in session for the past few days. She spoke for the race, declaring that colored people are wrecks of unjust prejudice and industrial boycot. Mrs. Terrill was the guest of Mrs. T. H. Lyles, one of the leading women and club workers here. She was entertained by a number of prominent people, including Mrs. Johnson, who has a most palatial residence.

"In the office of the auditor for the Post Office Department segregation seems to have been most skillfully worked out. In one room colored men operate what is known as the 'gang punch' and in another room the force working at the 'assorting machines' is entirely colored. Says Lunchroom Is Insanitary. "In the bureau of engraving and printing the lunchroom assigned to the colored women is insanitary. In the Post Office Department there is no lunchroom at all for colored help. In the office of the auditor for the Post Office Department the colored women were taken from light and airy rooms and placed in an unpleasant alcove. "As far as could be ascertained only one official has given the colored people an opportunity to express their opinion of the policy of segregation. Arrangements for segregation had been made in one of the divisions of the pension office, but when the chief of the division learned that the colored employees were opposed to separation he gave them an opportunity to vote on the matter. They were unanimous in their opposition." A Fearless, HONEST CHAMPION of the People Hon. S. Laying Williams, 4203 St. Lawrence avenue, the distinguished lawyer and citizen of Chicago, was stricken suddenly ill at Wabash avenue and Adams street on Thursday evening at 5:30 o'clock. He boarded a car south and had to be taken off him, carried into the Jones Transfer office, 22d street and Cottage Grove avenue. His misery became so grave that the police kindly and humanly called for an ambulance and he was quickly driven to Provident Hospital. A Defender reporter heard of it and called up the home, but Mrs. Williams was not there. He knew of Mrs. Williams' intellectual qualifications and that she always took part in such meetings, so he went hurriedly to the Johnson Hall, 3522 State street, where the Phyllis Wheatley Club was holding a literary entertainment. to the door she became almost strate with grief. Miss Warlick, a stent superintendent, and Miss Lilly, a nurse, took charge of her. They tried to persuade her not to see her husband at the time as he was suffering and in great misery and it might affect her, but she would see it. In the meantime Dr. George Cleveland Hall was called and he was on his way. An interne informed the Defender reporter that Mr. Williams had a strangulated hernia. So great was his misery that he could be heard throughout the hospital. Williams is known all over Berkshire.

Williams. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Hampton, Va., November 21.—Howard University, the undaunted champion of many seasons, went down to defeat on the Hampton gridiron Friday, November 14, in the greatest football game every played between elevenens representing Negro institutions. Never before in the history of the school were there such crowds, never before such excitement, never before such a fiercely fought, clean fought battle. Throughout the afternoon the game had always the most paroxysmal effect on the side liners, for the crowds were seemingly swayed to every emotion—from the most hilarious joy to the final unction of silent prayer. These elevenes, representing the two foremost institutions of learning in America for Negro youth, met to decide the championship, not as slaves driven to battle by the hand of an unloved master; not as adventurers who seek their prey, happy in the chance of spoils; not as ambassadors who coldly treat with only hope as a guide to ultimate success; but as warring kings—fighting for their own, to whom the issue was one of life and death. Every man on both teams was determined, every man made his greatest effort to win for his team, but not once throughout the entire game was there a word of protest from the members of either team. Never before on any gridiron was there exhibited a finer spirit than was seen between the players of Howard and Hampton. Throughout the game Hampton had a slight advantage. The ball was in the visitors' territory most of the time, yet it was the last three minutes that decided the contest. When the timekeeper's whistle sounded there were two great emotions in evidence on the faces of the crowd. To some the victory was sweet revenge, the striving of four long years; to others the defeat was a great shock, almost more than could be borne; but every man left the gridiron feeling that the better team had won. The Game in Detall. First Quarter.—Howard Kicked to Hampton, who carried the ball to her 30-yard line. Howard held for downs and Hampton kicked to Brice, who returned ball to center of field. Howard lost ground trying criss-cross plays and when Brice attempted to punt the ball was blocked and recovered by Alken, who carried the ball 30 yards to Howard's 10-yard line. Hampton's short forward pass failed, going outside and giving Howard the ball. Brice again punted out of danger, but the ball was brought back by Hampton to Howard's 10-yard line. On a bad pass by Beamon, Hampton made a safety. Both teams tried forward passes, but were unsuccessful. Score: Howard, 0; Hampton, 2. Second Quarter.—Howard had the ball on her 35-yard line. After a hard battle in the center of the field Bender punted to Howard's 15-yard line. Here Howard showed the old-time form and held for downs, getting the ball and punting out of danger. Howard made two good forward passes in this quarter. Third Quarter—Hampton kicked to Howard on her 5-yard line. Several punts were exchanged and a number of unsuccessful forward passes were tried. Hampton got the ball on Howard's 30-yard line and by constant end runs by Jamison, Bender, Wildy and Moore the ball was carried to Howard's 4-yard line, where by a half an inch it was lost on downs. Howard punted out and Hampton tried a drop kick which failed. This entire quarter was played in Howard's territory. Fourth Quarter—The fourth quarter began with Howard having the ball on her 25-yard line. Hampton attempted several forward passes and a drop kick which failed. Howard received the ball on her 20-yard line, and after four successful forwarded passes, the ball was on Hampton's 25-yard line. Here Gayle, Hampton's right end, got a 15-yard penalty for throwing two Howard men. Howard got the ball on Hampton's 10-yard line. A short forward pass to Slaughter by Brice Netted Howard a touchdown, but the goal was missed. With but four minutes remaining, it looked as if the game had been lost for Hampton. Howard kicked to Hampton's 35-yard line. After the exchange of a few punts, the ball was carried to Howard's 15-yard line. Here Brice punted out of bounds. Hampton carried the ball to Howard's 10-yard line by the line plunging of Flynt and Jamison. Howard held for downs, but on the last down Bender completely outwitted his opponents by a fake kick which resulted in a forward pass to Johnson across the goal line. Both touchdowns in the Howard-Hampton game were made in the last five minutes of play. Gilmore and Beamon, Bell and Clellen, former stars for Howard, were completely outplayed by Gayle and Aliken, Stoney and Wildy. Howard did not make the first down more than three times by rushing the ball. Moore and Captain Oliver of Hampton played exceptionally well, while Brice and Slaughter of Howard stood out in hold relief. Howard. Hampton. Gilmore. l. e. Johnson Don-dell. l. t.

CHIEF OF ELKS IN PITTSBURGH (Special to the Defender.) Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 21.—The annual Thanksgiving services of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. met Sunday, November 16, at the St. James A. M. E. church. The grand exalted ruler, T. Gillis Nutter, honored the united lodges of Pittsburgh with the first visit of his official career as chief executive of the colored Elks. Mr. Nutter was accompanied by the grand organizer, J. Finley Wilson, who was also in the Keystone state on official business, having established the Canons Lodge in Canonsburg, Pa., the night before. The grand exalted ruler was met at the B. & O. station by State Deputy Paxton, Exalted Rulers Charles Gantt, Robert Russell and Rush Shelton of the local Elk lodges, and also Brigadier-General Frank Sutton of the Uniform Ranks of the Knights of Pythias with his staff. 10 COLORED MEN KILLED IN VICKS BURG IN 30 DAYS Strange to Say, Not One Has Been Convicted of Any Crime —All Exonerated—News Not Given to Associated .Press When a Colored Man Is Killed in This Manner Vicksburg, Miss., Nov. 21.—Burke Warren, a respectable race man, who worked for the Y. and M.

The shot pierced his heart and he lay prostrate and died a moment later. Chief Groome exhibited his gameness by going to the dead man, kicking his body, it is said, by onlookers, to see if he was dead, then called an undertaker who arrived a half hour after the bleeding body lay in the streets looked upon by a morbid crowd.

Daniel H. Williams was one, was the feature of the occasion, the deeply impressive one, and those who witnessed it can never forget the sight. It was an object lesson, proving that with the process of the suns the trend of mankind is forward and upward. The eternal truth, that character, force, achievement and clean lives can not be obscured, can not be throttled, regardless of race or color; for, dark as the days have been, dark as they still are for our ambushed, struggling people, the eternal verities go on. "Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above His own." Victor Hugo said of Waterloo, "It was not a battle, it was the universal changing front." With race pride we note with a thankful heart the distinction accorded Dr. Williams, the solitary but splendid representative of ten million people, he knew that God was not dead, that God lives; that for the Negro the universe was changing front; that in years to come the splendid recognition and acknowledgment would serve as an inspiration to the many who are to follow, as Dr. Finney said in his splendid presidential address, that "the members of the Congress were selected with great care as to ability and character." Most certainly this is in accord with the feeling of the entire race, which Dr. Williams so ably represents. The Record-Herald of Friday, the 14th, thus comments on the ceremonies attending the induction: "Ceremonies of the most impressive order marked the induction last night of 1,050 of the leading surgeons of the North American continent as Fellows of the American College of Surgeons in the Congress Hotel. "Clad in robes of black with crimson facing they marched into the gold room of the hotel, where the degrees were conferred upon them. The ceremony was held in connection with the clinical congress of surgeons of North America, now in session at the Hotel La Salle. "Names of the surgeons who were made members of the new order were read by the secretary of the college, Dr. Franklin Martin. At the close of the reading a hush fell upon the audience as Dr. J. M. T. Finney, president, said in solemn tones: "By virtue of the power vested in me I hereby declare those whose names have been read here this evening to be Fellows in the American College of Surgery." "Sir Rickman Godlee, president of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, read a message to the members of the college from the council of the Royal College. In the message felicitations were conveyed to the Americans and hopes expressed that this college would grow and prosper and that by its influence the ideals and standards of surgery in America would be advanced and maintained on a high plane." The Tribune of the same date said: Twelve hundred practicing surgeons of the United States and Canada were admitted to membership in the American College of Surgeons at its first convocation, which was held in the gold room of the Congress Hotel last night and each member subscribed to the following pledge before being admitted as a member and presented with his certificate: "Recognizing that the American College of Surgeons seeks to exemplify enforce, and develop the highest traditions of our calling, I hereby please --- condition of fellowship in to live in strict accord of its principles and dec icular I pledge myself to the practice of surgery with through self-restraint and to place the welfare of my patients above all else; to advance constantly in knowledge by study of surgical literature, the instruction of eminent teachers, interchange of opinion among associates, and attendance on the important societies and clinics; to regard serupiously the interests of my professional brothers and seek their counsel when in doubt of my own judgment; to render willing help to my colleagues and to give freely my services to the needy. "Moreover, I pledge myself, so far as I am able, to avoid the sins of selfishness; to shun unwarranted publicity, dishonest money seeking and commercialism as disgraceful to our profession; to refuse utterly all secret money trades with consultants and practitioners; to teach the patient his financial duty to the physician, and to urge the practitioner to obtain his reward from the patient openly; to make my fees commensurate with the service rendered and with the patient's rights; and to avoid discrediting my "ociates by taking unwarranted condition, finally, I pledge myself to co-operate in advancing and extending by my lawful means within my power influence of the American College of Surgeons." The days of knighthood have passed; no longer are the highways of the world glorified by their deeds of valor in behalf of beauty and the helpless; "their swords are rust, their bones are dust"; but, not since those stirring times of plume and "hadys" favor) has so fine a sentiment of conduct and aim been proclaimed to the world as a pledge of the Fellows of the American College of Surgeons. Place it in your scrap books and in years to come your children's children, reading of the organization and convoiation of the first body of American surgeons will note that they were men of character, men of distinction, men of hearts, and above all men who recognized ability within their profession irrespective of race, creed or color.

The board of the Home for Aged and Inform 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. and Donlewis.

News of the Churches 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 fame of sacred love in every heart by his forbible 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 phage 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 cloquence his message from above, using for his text these words, "Will a Man Rob God?" His perspicacity 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.

WALTERS A. M. E. 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.

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 mbrning 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 introduction 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. Counsellor Napoleon 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.) Daily 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.

Tuesday night was "Howard University Night" at Bethel Literary. A big crowd was on hand and the students made the welkin ring with their yellos, 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 nightly. 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 best-posted 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. 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 shown in the zenith of their fame as yandville toilners, and Mr. Kyer is ```markdown ``` will preach in the morning and the Ladies' Aid will serve dinner all day.

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 sincerely, 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.

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

EUGENE LAWRENCE The Learned and Brilliant Pastor of Lincoln Memorial Church on "The Rewards of a Victorious Life." This is just a thought, a solitary nugget of beauty and force, picked from a recent sermon by Dr. Lawrence, but well worth reading again and again. What a picture—how vivid—of men and women all about us, whose friendships are as fickle as the shifting sands, and whose religion is a base metal—a thing of show and display. Said the preacher, and as he spoke a vast congregation hung on his words: "Position and circumstance sometimes help to defeat men and women in their spiritual fight, and especially when they begin to be a bit prosperous. Doubtless most of you could point out examples of this in your own experience. You know that as a race our people are not used to material prosperity, and hence some behave very strangely when they begin to succeed just a little. They turn their backs upon their former friends, and for no other reason than that they have acquired a little more of this world's goods. They quit the church, except to run in occasionally and show a new dress or suit of clothes and to call attention to their prosperity by pouring out five or ten dollars upon the collection table, every dollar in silver. Poor, unfortunate, vain and silly souls! The rewards of a victorious life are not for such as these—not for them—the pity of it, not for them." OSHKOSH SOCIETY Oskhosh, Nov. 21.—A spiritual sermon was delivered at the A. M. E. Zion mission Sunday evening by Rev. Christian, presiding elder of this district. Mr. G. G. Wilson of Donaldson, Ind., is making an extended visit in this city. Mr. Wilson has a host of friends here. Miss E. A. Douglass is visiting friends in Chicago, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. R.

MU-SO-LIT CLUB Washington's Famous Literary Society Addressed by Noted Speakers. (Special to the Defender.) Washington, D. C., Nov. 21.-Friday was "field night" at the Mu-So-Lit Club. Following an interesting address by Professor N. B. Young, president of the Florida State Colored College, Tallahassee, in which he told of the work the thrifty and industrious Negroes of the South are doing for the uplift of the race, a general discussion arose, and nearly every member made a speech on some phase of the ever present "problem." F. H. M. Murray and T. H. R. Clarke described the visit of the Trotter delegation to the white house, where they turned over to President Wilson the protest of many Afro-Americans against the discriminations said to exist in certain departments of the government. L. M. Hershaw, L. B. Johnson, J. L. Chesnack, N. H. Thomas, F. D. Cracken and others talked of the virtues and the shortcomings of the white and colored press in dealing with the affairs of the race. It was held that the white press is not guilty of all the sinning in the matter of misrepresenting the Negro, and it was decided to appoint a press committee to look after the papers of both races, to commend those that deserve it and to protest against articles that hinder racial progress. The separation of the teachers in the institutes of the last week was discussed by James A. Cobb, F. L. Cardozo, E. C. Williams, principal of the M street high school, and others. It was reported that the Mu-So-Lit Club gave $103 in aid of the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Others who spoke on various issues were A. F. Hillyer, E. M. Hewlett, W. H. Clifford, H. C. Scurlock. Nine new members were elected to fill vacancies. They are Dr. Ralph F. Stuart, Jay C. Clifford, C. C. Bannister, John W. F. Smith, George A. Young, George B. Lee, Charles P. Ford, Maurice W. Spencer and J. E. Washington. The administration of President G. Luther Sagwair has been an unusually brilliant one. His term ends with the December meeting and he announces that he will not stand for reelection. A keen contest is in sight therefore, for the presidency, with G. Smith Wormley, now chairman of the executive committee, on the inside track, if he can be induced to accept the honor. Operates Modern Printing Establishment. (Special to the Defender.) Hopkinsville, Ky., Nov. 21.—Phil Brown, one of the most competent newspaper men in the country and who had charge of the Taft publicity bureau at Chicago, a printer of the first water and widely known all over the country for his tense and philippe writings, has formed a partnership with a white printer in his town and they are successfully conducting a modern, up-to-date office. In addition Mr. Brown publishes the famous Hopkinsville News. He is author of "Marching Wid de Band" and a number of fine poetical selections. Football Not a Pigskin That phrase so much used in the football season, "chasing the pigskin," involves a popular error. The football is not made of pigskin, but of the hide of the calf or cow, and, for the cheaper variety, the skin of the sheep. Footballs of the ordinary grade are made in this country, but some of the finest, sold to those who are not particular about price, are imported from England, where the industry was an old one before it was started in America. Musical instruments composed principally of wood suffer more from the climate in India than any other wooden articles.

One time when me an' Ma an' Pa An' my big sister Liz Went way, way out upon th' cars To where the country is, A man gived me a many goat, All white an' big an' fat; But what's th' use? I couldn't keep him in a four-room flat. Now is the time to do your Christ- mas shopping and avoid the rush. And every mail brings letters of pro- test to the White House. Indian summer, though a little late, put in an appearance the first part of the week. One-fourth of the land in the fifteen former slave states is farmed by Negroes as owners or tenants. And yet they say we are not industrious. If for nothing more, the Eighth Regiment boys can give thanks next Thursday for not being called upon to act as targets for Mexican bullets. Don't forget when buying your own Thanksgiving dinner that perhaps there is a family just around the corner you could lend a helping hand to. Now is the season of the President's discontent, when every Tom, Dick and Harry from the backwoods sends him an overgrown fowl—at his expense—for Thanksgiving. One thing about the people in Illinois, we never do things by halves. Other states can have their little old one exposition to show the advancement of the colored people, but we are to have two full-fledged ones. Some people wonder how it is that The Defender reporter is always on the scene at the most opportune time. We modestly admit it is true, but we promised to give you the best newspaper published, and in order to do so, etc., etc. Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, pastor of the Abraham Lincoln Center is one of the staunchest friends the race has. In his house of worship jangs: "Here let no man be a stranger." His voice is ever raised against injustice to of the seem-ices what he It is said a man is known by the company he keeps. We wonder if by any hook or crook the storekeeper could be judged by the way he keeps the sidewalk in front of his place of business? It is a disgrace to any city to have sidewalks in such a filthy condition, and this is true along the "Stroll," especially from 30th to 35th streets. Water costs nothing, and a few minutes each day of the porter's time will do the rest. Don't wait for your neighbor—start today. The health of the Negro was declared to be the most important subject before the Southern Medical Association, which met at Lexington. It was pointed out that they live under the worst sanitary conditions through poverty, prejudice and neglect. They took the burden of the problem upon themselves, and for self-preservation if not for humanity a campaign is to be inaugurated to remedy present conditions. It is the working out of the maxim. No people can rise above the humblest one in their midst. It is said that opposition is the life of trade. Just how it is going to work out in our dual exposition associations remains to be seen. We have a state and a national organization, the latter contending it, must be run on the larger scope to attain success. They have not the money back of them to push their argument, but intend raising it by means of a grand reception and ball Thanksgiving evening. It is too bad these factions cannot come together and work for the common good, as all concerned are honest, upright citizens. This is Chicago. We have a reputation to keep up. Better have no exposition than a failure. THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS IT is satisfying to note that many managers of theaters are refusing to allow Thomas Dixon's play, "The Leopard's Spots," to be produced in their theaters. The theater is no place to vent the spite and animosity of any individual, and the parody of a play only tends to appeal to the passions and not to the heart. It is calculated to increase prejudice and to incite riot. The time has passed when you can openly insult ten million people and expect them not to resent it. In Columbia, S. C., P. C. Brown, manager of the leading theater there, after seeing one performance canceled the show, saying: "As long as I am manager of the house no show of this character can play here." And this was not in the North, but in South Carolina. A certain class of people must learn that they cannot longer ride to fame and fortune by defaming the colored people. LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG. Somehow or other we always look to the Appomattox Club to do the right thing at the right time, especially if that particular thing has any bearing on the welfare of the race, even to a remote degree. But we are afraid they slipped a cog this week when they failed to have a demonstration of any sort in observance of the fiftieth anniversary of Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg. At the state house in Springfield, under the auspices of the Illinois Historical Society, at which Gov. Dunne and other officials were present, appropriate exercises were held, and organizations all over the country did likewise. There is nothing in the life of Lincoln that we should overlook; in fact, we should be the first to do honor to his name. The Appomattox Club is composed of the brainstem men in Chicago, men who stand for something, and it is to such as these we look to take the initiative. Must we look in vain? THANKSGIVING. Our esteemed Governor has issued the usual Thanksgiving proclamation and all good citizens are expected to observe Thursday, Nov. 27, as a day of thanks and praise giving. There is much that we should be thankful for. The year has been full to overflowing with incidents that directly or indirectly concern us all. A new and untried administration has been ushered in, and with it came in power many of our arch enemies. They have done some things to browbeat and humiliate us, but their efforts have not been entirely successful, due in a great measure to the fact that by their injustice they aroused our champions, who forced their way to the front and in no mild terms demanded and received a hearing, with the result that we are standing on a more firm foundation. From all parts of the country comes tangible evidence of prosperity, the percentage of illiteracy is rapidly decreasing, many unions have let down the color bars, and there is a seeming spirit of chance giving and an inclination to open the doors of all kinds of employment to us. It is only a little, yet it is a step forward, and we should be thankful. ALPHA SUFFRAGE CLUB BANQUET Wednesday evening last at the Progressive Club rooms, 19 West Jackson boulevard, the Alpha Suffrage Club, an organization composed of some of our most representative people, gave their first annual dinner. There were about fifty present. The guests were entertained during the repast with vocal and instrumental music of high order and readings from original manuscripts. Among the artists who appeared were Mrs. Maude Roberts, Mrs. Zenla Jenkins, Mrs. Mead, Mrs. C. H. Miller, Miss B. Fortson, Mrs. Fenton Johnson, Mr. Harry Joyce and Miss Hortense. Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, president of the club, in her usual happy manner introduced the speakers and incidentally interjected some good, strong, logical advice. Mrs. Barnett for a great many years has devoted her life to the uplift of her race and has been instrumental in securing justice and fair play for many who were unable to help themselves. Mrs. K. J. Bills, editor of the club paper, read a very logical paper on conditions of today and pointed the way to at least temporary relief. Mrs. E. B. Bishop talked, as she always does, right to the point and advocated patience and a better feeling towards people of her race. Mrs. Gillings showed what could be achieved by sticking together. Maj. John [R. Lynch said no persons should be governed against their will, therefore he was in favor of woman's suffrage.] Mr. Thomas G. Knight, president of the Progressive Club, delivered an address of welcome. Miss Curtis, assistant to Judge Owens, demonstrated the use of voting machines. All in all, it was a very successful meeting. BUSINESS SENSE. What can be accomplished by concentration was amply exemplified by the recent theatrical venture at the Pekin Theater, wherein everyone concerned, from the star to the "sue," was a member of the race. Every dollar invested belonged to a Negro, and who can again say that they are afraid to risk their money, for here were gathered artists from many states at an enormous expense to entertain the public of Chicago? When when the plans were nearly matured and some of the company here, many predicted failure of the enterprise, using that time-worn argument that the people will not support: race enterprises. The promoters, however, evidently knew better, as does The Chicago Defender, who has been trying to instil the principle of nothing ventured, nothing gained, and we as a race are constituted no differently than any other country. All we want is a hundred cents' worth for every dollar spent. The Alda Overton Walker example is a good one. The promoters were up to date in their methods and fully appreciated the power of the press by a generous expenditure in advertising. And speaking of advertising, we are reminded that for the entertainment of pleasure lovers Thanksgiving night there are scheduled four different affairs. Their success will be measured by the amount of advertising they do, and there is no getting around that fact. How many would have known that the Alda Overton Walker Company was to remain the second week had it not been for the newspapers? The same applies, only more forbely to the merchants along the street. Who knows of your sale on boots and shoes, or of your bargain days in groceries and dry goods, unless you advertise in the papers? Handbills are so much wasted money. Why do the people flock downtown to make pur chases, when they could do better in their neighborhood store? The reason is plain. The downtown stores advertise, and this is the secret of their success. Mr. Merchant, it is up to you whether you make your business a success or a failure. EXTRAVAGANT LIVING. If money were as easy to make as it is to spend, what a delightful world this would be to live in, but unfortunately this condition does not exist. Many of us, however, do not realize it until it is too late. The time to save money is when you are making it, for invariably there will come that promised rainy day when you will be in dire need of it. Chicagoans have learned the lesson well, as is evidenced by the great number of business houses and homes owned by them, and yet it is all practically of recent origin. Fifteen or twenty years ago we owned a piece of property here and there in the city, but today we number them by the hundreds, and all of this came about through the easy system of payments inaugurated by such stunnack, reliable firms as Frederick H. Bartlett & Co. Anderson & Birea, W. H. Bowers. co. Anderson & Birea, Chicago Law Co. Daniel Harding and Mr. Cave, who demonstrated conclusively the folly of paying rent when the same money might be applied on your own home. The result is too well known to meet comment. But into our midst each your come hundred of people, mainly from the South, to take up residence here. It is this class of people who have been it to believe that Chicago was the garden spot of America, where the color of your skin made little difference and where freedom was spelled with capital letters. Often these people, bringing with their little savings, fall in with the wrong sort or people. Their money goes for dress and biotous living, and when their funds have given out, in order to keep up appearances they must need resort to these time payment merchants. The thought of owning a home is their last consideration; making a front is supermort in their minds. It is by this class we are judged, and only after they have become thoroughly Chicagoized does the fever strike them to become property owners. Then they seek one of the above firms, who puts them in a way of investing their earnings to bring the greatest returns. This system of education that is going on here is rather trying on the older residents, but the end justifies the means, and we cheerfully do it. NEW CHURCH ERA With the advent of the new year churches of Chicago of several denominations are to undergo a great change, if the present ideas of certain progressive church people are to be carried out. The church is to be divorced from politics, thereby increasing the influence of the pastor, making the Sabbath indeed a day of worship, and by placing the temporal affairs under the management of competent business men and thereby keep pace with the progressive spirit of the times and forever offset that annoying query, What's the matter with the church? "Chicago for Christ," the slogan of the recent World in Chicago movement, is to be taken up anew and the most strenuous religious campaign in years is to be inaugurated. This idea is not a spasmid one, but the only solution of devout and advanced church people who have always realized that the present system had its faults. Now, the man who admires certain clergymen and likes to hear them preach cannot fall back upon the excuse that there is too much begging after the preaching, thus spoiling it. These modern crusaders intend that the churches shall be kept holy on the Sabbath bath. No longer will silver-tongued orators laud candidates for office from the sacred rostrum, no longer will schools and other institutions that are in want be helped by appeals during the service. The pastor is to only perform the pastor's of his office—preach the gospel, bury the dead, console the sick and afflicted and perform marriage ceremonies. There is no idea of marriage the present perfect organization, such as trustees, stewards or whatever name church helpers are called, but it is to be simplified by placing all things of THE CHICAGO DEFENDER a business nature under one directive head, and that head is not to be the minister. By this plan church debts of long standing will be paid, modern ideas for the distribution of charity and the care of the church will become possible. Men in particular dislike any interruption to a church service, and why should there be? Other races have long since profted by this up-to-date plan, and why shouldn't we? When the full plans are announced no doubt consternation will reign, but the only dissatisfied ones will be those who have found it to their advantage in the present unbusinesslike and jangled manner of church work. As a race we have always been religious, so intensely so that many have claimed that everything else of worth has been overlooked. This may be so and it may not, but we glory in the teachings of our parents in the reality of religion and long to see the day when church services may be along the lines here indicated. To the lycum burrow will be relegated all demands for, peakers, and the plan even includes a house-to-house canvass, regulated and kept intact by a card index system. 'the Chicago Defender will watch the movement with interest and will ep its readres informed of its progress. CONGRESSMAN MARTIN B. MADDEN. Several ladies have been asking the question, why does the congressman hold his lecture on the Panama Canal at the Y. M. C. A. and why the rule of the association should be broken to let women in to hear him? Did he give a lot of Illinois men of color a chance to work on the job? We were unable to answer the question and pass the buck up to you—solve it! THE EDITOR'S BIRTHDAY THE EDITOR'S BIRTHDAY. He celebrated his birthday quietly on the great day of his birth, reading of the Bible and of the deeds of men and women that made history on that day. Long may his paper live and celebrate many more such, and may I live to be like him, too. THE OFFICE DEVIL SIGN OF THE TIMES (NO. 2.) Traveling around the city for a day, we find many changes in the working conditions. On the west side we find one firm that has laid on one thousand of its workmen; giving a reason, lack of business. This great builder of heavy machinery, employer of thousands of men; never did this before. A.C. Co. at 12th and Washenaw has branch houses in various parts of the country and can quickly feel the advance or decline in business. D. B. P. & Co. and G. Froshe have greatly reduced their pay roll by laying off many of their employees, among them are many colored men, who have been working steady for several years. There is no labor troubles in or about Chicago, but, the building trades are shackling off very fast and few contracts are being made. The army of unemployed is growing larger every day. Credit is being shaved, money is getting scarce. EDITOR'S MAIL. NATIONAL NEWS AGENCY. Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 17, 1913 Chicago Defender.

Manager of National News Agency NATIONAL ASSOCIATION HOLDS MEETING. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had its regular monthly meeting at the Chicago City Club Nov. 15th. The members present were President Judge E. O. Brown, Dr. C. E. Bentley, Mr. W. H. Allison, Geo. Packard, Geo. Arthur, Miss Garnetta Tibbs, S. Laing Williams and Mr. Chas. T. Hallman Hon. John H. Lynch, now retired officer in the U. S. army, was present and very much interested in the purposes and scope of the work. He at once joined the association and pledged himself to be active in its promotion. During the month of October two public meetings were held. Officers of the local branch were present at these meetings and delivered addresses to large groups of progressive young men. The association also held a public meeting in the village of Glencoe, IL. This meeting was addressed by Mr. Allison and S. Laing Williams of the association. The Chicago Association has in prospect some very important meetings to be held in the near future. Some of the big men of the association such as Judge Russel of New York, Mr. Spingarn, who has given generous financial backing to the association are arranging to be in Chicago during the coming season and make further enlargements of the work in hand. For the purpose of making the association more effective its its opposition to race discriminations there is a plan on foot to organize a Bureau of Investigation and prosecution. In other words, the plan is to make the Civil Rights Law of this state mean something in every case of race discrimination. The work all along the line is growing and its influence was especially demonstrated in its fight against the wholesale effort of segregation in the Department at Washington, D. C. RACE MAN DEFENDS HOME White Man Killed for Assaulting Wife —"Unwritten Law" for Defense. Washington, D. C., Nov. 21.—A colored man who shot a white man in Texas in defending the honor of his home has appealed to the United States supreme court to apply the "unwritten law" to him as well as to the white man. Carl Oliver caught a white man assassinating his wife and killed him in self-defens. His lawyers claim a negro is entitled to the same rights in defending the honor of his home as a white man. If this kind of work is kept up in it, South by the colored men there will be less attempts in the future. Your home is your castle. Keel By Dr. A A Week Measure Hygienic will be scription Column DAWN WILLIAMS CAMPAIGN AGAINST CONSUMPTION Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Great efforts are being made to rid mankind of lung consumption. It is a terrible disease. It is no respecter of persons or race. No race has a monopoly of this dreadful disease. It strikes and carries away those who are near and dear to us in the very prime of life. Unlike cancer, which usually comes upon one in middle life or more toward the sunny side of night of life, consumption comes in the morning of life largely or in the very prime or noontide of our activities when hope is brightest and ambition highest, when one's future is most promising. Consumption is most prevalent, most destructive, most contagious in early adult life between the ages of 15 and 45; whereas cancer is more prevalent between the ages of 40 and 60 years. Consumption comes in the age when one is at the beginning of his life's work and suddenly cuts him down or renders him a chronic invalid—a burden to his family, friends, and often to society, and prevents him from contributing his share of the world's work and making his contribution of service to humanity. Whereas, cancer comes after one has largely finished his world's work and completed his contribution of service to humanity, thus having endured himself in the way of family ties, warm friendship, and has won the right to enjoy the comforts and blessings of life, but is cut down or rendered a long patient sufferer with a largely incurable disease, if not taken in time. The Nature and Cause of Consumption. Lung consumption is a contagious disease and is chiefly communicated by means of the germ called tubercle bacilli, which is set free from the dry sputum (spiticle) disseminated by the nasty, dirty habit of spitting on the part of a careless consumptive. Therefore, no spitting no, or very little, consumption. Prevention. Consumption is a preventable disease, and if it is preventable why not prevent it? We can prevent it if we can educate the general public as to the nature of the disease and enlist the confidence and co-operation of the people. In other words, the prevention of the disease is largely a social problem and belongs to the people. The death rate and spread of the disease can be most effectively prevented through the improvement of the hygienic and sanitary conditions and the widespread knowledge among the people regarding the nature, prevention and the methods by which this disease is spread. The Effect of Dr. Booker T. Washing ton's Statement. A few years ago, at the inauguration of the president of Harvard College, the newspapers made the statement that Dr. Booker T. Washington stated in his address "that the Negro servant among the whites of this country was a great carrier and disseminator of disease, such as tuberculosis and other disease." This statement has had the effect of calling the attention of the people in power and in influential positions to the bad housing and sanitary condition under which the Negro had to live, and although the awakening was slow in its coming, we are now beginning to see the beneficial effects on the conscience of the American people in their efforts to bring about better social conditions, and more social justice all over this country, as can easily be seen in the great daily newspapers every day in the week. The Southern Medical Society. The Southern Medical Society. At the recent meeting of the Southern Medical Society, held in Lexington, Ky., where there were three thousand delegates present, the most interesting question before the large assamble was the health of the Negro in the South, and the slogan of the meeting was that Negro health is up to the South; they frankly pointed out that by the neglect on the part of those in position of power and influence to look after, or to do something for the welfare of the Negro, that preventable diseases were being spread among the whites. The Southern Medical Society has launched a campaign for the saving of the brother in black. Must Save to Be Saved. The Southern Medical Congress, representing 16 states, and with 3,000 members in attendance, is realizing what we have always contended for: that in order to be saved you must try to save some one else, and we are glad to know that those who are foremost in the Southland are becoming cognizant of the fact that in order to be saved from typhoid fever, consumption, scarlet fever, malaria, etc., they must do something for the social uplift, and the bettering of the condition, and the reduction of the 40 per cent death rate among Negroes. The further statement is also made that the same diseases that produce a 40 'per cent death rate among the Negroes who live under the most unhealthful conditions are responsible for the 26 per cent death rate among the whites. And they unanimously voted, after being made aware of these dreadful facts, to inaugurate a campaign for the prevention of disease and the raising of the standard of health among the Negroes. It was also pointed out that while the Negro citizen lives un- Keep Healthy A Weekly Talk on Preventative Measures, First Aid Remedies, Hygienics, Sanitation.

Prevention. der the most unsanitary condition through poverty, racial prejudice, segregation and neglect, they do come together and mingle with the white population in stores, factories, nurseries as cooks, etc., and then spread the diseases which are prevalent among them. They therefore manfully came forward and declared that the health of the Negro was the most important subject before the South today, and that the burden of this problem devolved on public officials, sanitarians and sociologists, and they urged that accurate observation of the living condition and experimental methods be made, and the speakers declared that no field is more worthy of painstaking efforts, presenting, as it does, the promise of far reaching results of the utmost importance to the Southern states. Taking Stock. In my further discussion of the means to be taken for the prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis, we will try to take stock of the various factors which, directly or indirectly, contribute to the presence and development of the disease in the human subject, under which head we shall take up the various diseases, predisposing and immediate. BOARD OF HEALTH NOTES A proper temperature and humidity, will make for ideal indoor conditions. A clean, safe water supply should be the watchword of every community and when once obtained is worth air that it may cost to secure it. Some people still cling to the old fashioned idea that night air is bad. Last night's air is the only air that is bad. So open your bedroom windows and let it out. Do this every night and you will have no bad night air; also you will sleep better and have better health. Under the recently enacted law, in Massachusetts, city planning is made compulsory for all towns and cities of more than 10,000 population. Every municipality coming under the provisions of the law as to population is required as the first step to make an adequate social survey for the purpose of considering in its plans the highest welfare of all the citizens. The local governing bodies determine the number of members in the local town planning boards, and also the details of administration work; while unity of effort is looked after and supervised by a state body, the Massachusetts Homestead Commission. So far as is known the largest boys' and girls' civic club in Chicago was organized recently by the pupils of the Robert Burns School, at 26th street and South Central Park avenue. The club was organized from among the pupils of the school under the direction of Principal Nightingale and now has over 200 members. One day last week a representative of the Department of Health was invited to address the club and was given a hearty welcome. The department is especially pleased with the spirit of earnestness and enthusiasm shown by the boys and girls composing the club, and still more pleased to announce that the club will work under the direction and in co-operation with the Commissioner of Health. Its members will be provided with the Clean Chicago buttons and with all the needed blanks and stationery for carrying on its neighborhood work. There can be no doubt either that these bright and intelligent young citizens will able to render much valuable aid towards bettering the conditions of the communities in which they live. In addition, the boys and girls themselves will be getting a most interesting and practical training in all the things that make for good citizenship. The pupils in the Robert Burns School have made an excellent start; they have already set a pace for the boys and girls of other schools to step to. And if only, the boys and girls of Chicago can be interested in making it a cleaner, safer and better city to live in, it will soon take its place among the brightest and most beautiful cities in the world.

The children of Shem wagel Asher, Asphaxed and Aram, descendants founded Persia; those of Asher, Assyria, while Asphaxed settled in Chaldea. To the family of Lusid is ascribed Lydia to Aram, Syria. The children of Ham, the Illustrous black, were Cush, Mizmaim, Phut and Cannan. The descendants of Cush removed from the southeast of Babylonia to the eastern part of Arabia, from whence they migrated to Africa. Mizmaim peopled Egypt, the home of the world's earliest civilization, the cradle of science and art, twenty centuries before the Star of Bethlehem had risen, before Rome was born, and when Europe from England's shores on the west, to the ice steppes of Russia on the far north and east, were peopled and overrun by wandering tribes of wild men. Ethiopia and Libya were seized by the descendants of the same Illustrous ancestor—Ethiopia, that mighty empire of Blacks, $q$ which God inspired prophet and hundreds of years before the plan of salvation was given to man, "She is the land shadowing with wings, that sendeth ambassadors by the sea, a people terrible from the beginning hitherto." Phu: is believed to have settled somewhere in Arabia near to Cush, while Cannan was the founder of rich Phoenixia. The sons of Japheth, the oldest son of Noah, were Gomer, Magog, Madia, Javen, Jubal, Mesech and Tiras. Gomer, according to Josephus was the father of the Gomerites or Colts, all the nations that inhabited the northern part of Europe, known as the Gauls, Cambrians, Goths and Huns. From Magog, Mesech and Jubal proceeded the Scythians, Sarmatians and Tartars, and from Madi, Javan and Tiras, the Medes, Ionians, Greeks and Thracians. With the flow of the centuries the civilization of the world was rapidly widened, and while the descendants of Sheu and Ham, who people the east and south, were establishing powerful kingdoms, and making great advances in the arts and sciences, the posteriority of Japheth, the root of the white—the Caucasian race—who settled in the west and north, by degrees had sunk into barbarian. From this deplorable state and condition, they were delivered, flux of dark skinned race, cast, the descendants of that to they were indebted for the two religious devotions, and most science and art.

The attendance this week at the Grand was a little lighter than usual, doubtless owing to the unseasonable weather; but those who let the weather keep them away missed a cracking good bill, every act being on big time. The downtown houses have nothing on the Grand except they give a little longer performance. Yerza and Adela opened the bill and presented some wonderful feats in contortion; he can double himself up in a bowknot as easily as could a snake and she is as little and limber as a fairy. Bolgen Brothers, two college fellows, did some eccentric dancing and played the banjo acceptably. George Rosner & Company in "Inheritance" depicted in a most realistic manner how the sins of the parents are visited upon their offspring and it brought home to many in the audience the horrible truth of what liquor and dope will do for you; it was well acted. Frank Bush was heralded as America's greatest story teller and he at least convinced the audience that this was true. Joe Boganny's lunatic makers made their act go with a dash and hurrah that made a decided impression; their work was clever and in consequence received generous applause. The States The house has been packed nightly and as the management has continued to keep on the high grade of pictures started with the audience is getting the benefit of them. Joe Jordan and his famous Pekin orchestra continue to be one of the big drawing cards. It is to be regretted that the house not a larger stage that they might put on vaudeville that requires scenery. Thirty-fifth street is fast becoming the center of the South Side and a house that would cater to this class of show-goers would reap a rich harvest. Best acts in vaudeville. Danabegay. Frank P.

Leubrie Hill's resplendent production, "My Friend from Kentucky," with brand new dialogue, humorous situations and a riot of new and catchy music, to say nothing of a half-dozen stars as principals and a chorus of girls that are good to look upon, is "turning 'em away" this week at the Howard, Washington, D.C. The show is the best thing Washington has seen for a long time and amply justifies the opinion of the New York World that it is up to the Broadway standard of musical comedy excellence. The big parts are in the hands of J. Leubrie Hill, Evon Robinson, Sam Gaines, Will Brown, Julius Glenn, Lillian Bradford and Alice Ramsey, all of whom handle their opportunities brilliantly and appear to marked advantage. Theo, Pankey, Johnny Peters, Jennie Scheper, Daisy Brown and Grace Johnson occupy a big spot in the limelight. Clarence Logan, the premier press agent in the business, came on in advance of the show, which is sufficient evidence that everybody knows the Hill agregation is in our midst. They go back to New York for next week. Miss Gertrude Ryan is doing phenomenal work in the Howard box office. MME. ANITA PATTI BROWN AT THE CAPITAL. Mme. Anita Patti Brown of Chicago, the "Bronze Tetrazini," acknowledged to be the race's foremost coloratura soprano, spent a few days in the city last week, the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, 133" Wallace place. Mme. Brown was en route to New York City, from which point she sailed on the 8th for Kingston, Jamaica, where she begins a long tour of the West India Islands, Panama, Costa Rica and South America. While here she attended the grand concert given by the Clef Club and was shown many social courtesies by her friends at the capital. She was accompanied by her touring party, Miss Marlon Garner, pianist; Mr. George Garner, humorist and tenor, and Mr. Wyatt Houston, violinist. Mme. Patti joined Mme. C. J. Walker in New York, who went to Jamaica with her. MR. RUSSELL ASSAULTED. Mr. Sylvester Russell, the dramatic critic, was assaulted last Friday night at the corner of 31st street and State street. Mr. Russell has the sympathy of his many friends and the press of this city. He wrote nothing to defame the character of Mr. Gilliam and the attack was unjust and unwarranted. It is going too far when a newspaper man cannot express his opinion about a man in public without being beaten up. A man of this character is not fit to play in decent society. He will judging from this attack, kill his manager at the cafe he is playing, should he be dismissed from his service. UMBRIAN GLEE MUSICAL ```markdown ``` Mrs. Maud Cuney Hare and Mr. William H. Richardson, two distinguished musicians, were the soloists at the sixth annual concert of the Umbrian Glee Club on Monday night at Bethel A. M. E. Church. The attendance was very small and the artists would have been greatly pleased had the church been filled. A lack of proper advertising is said to have been the cause of such poor attendance. The musical was a brilliant success from an artistic point. Mrs. Hare showed wonderful training and skill as a pianist, every number being played with finish and culture. It is to be regretted that more of Chicago's music lovers did not hear her interpretation of the selections from Bizet, S. Coleridge-Taylor and Leoncavallo. Mr. Richardson's baritone voice was in excellent condition and his renditions were pleasing and perfect. Both artists were liberally applauded. The Umbrian Glee Club of which Mr. Cornelius Pierce is president and Prof. Pedro Tinsley director did fine work; every number a hit. While a good many patrons' names appeared on the program, probably half the number was present. Musically the affair was a glowing success. FOSTER'S R. R. PORTER Biggest Success of the Year at the Majestic. While "Jule" Jones, who is Will Foster, one of the best informed men on theatricals hereabouts, started out with Lottie Grady, Edgar Lillerson and others to make moving pictures for the Railroad Porter, some gave him the laugh. But Foster saw into the future. He knew that moving pictures were here to stay and that the moment he could get real Negro life in one of his pictures he would have solved the problem, a picture of his ideas seen at big houses. The Railroad Porter was enacted. He conceived it and had it played and took it with his own machine and put all the trimmings in to make it go. It was seen at the Grand and States theaters, and it was a big drawing card. It was sent all over the country. Monday the pictures were shown at the Majestic theater, the leading vaudeville house in Chicago. When it was exhibited patrons jumped up and shouted, some laughed so loud that ushers had to silence them. The manager of the house states that it contains more wit and humor than any picture ever seen at the house. Foster's "movies" are a success. NEW STAR THEATER The new Star Theater, 3333-35 State street, opened this week. Mr. W. H. Riley is proprietor. It has been newly painted, electric lights installed and made the prettiest theater on State street. It is owned and operated by a colored man, the only one in Chicago. Here is a chance to patronize a race enterprise. Pictures that are the best on the market are shown and changed nightly. Music, new pictures, polite attention and pure air are the features of the Star. Are you going to. the Foresters' ball, First Regiment Armory? Garfield Wilson Orchestra. Admission 50 cents.—15-22 MARSHALL AND TRIBBLE Marshall and Trible left this week for Lafayette and South Bend, Ind., Champlain, Rockford and Peoria, Ill. Champaign, Rockford and Peoria, Ill. They are booked to January 5, 1913. POMPEI CABARET An Immense Throng Crowds the Spacious Cabaret Room. Tuesday, November 18, was "Composers' Day" at the Pompei, and the place was packed to the doors. Tuesdays at the Pompei are getting to be the routine for a multitude of people who are never seen in any other cafe in town, besides drawing hundreds who are familiar figures on The Stroll. Manager Joe Shoecraft has made it his policy to pay personal attention to the arrangement of all programs, and this assures an entertainment of high merit. Tony Langston, chief of publicity, announces that the famous Luzon Trio has been engaged for the coming Tuesday, November 25, and that it would be well for all who attend to come early as the entertainment will begin at 2:30 sharp. A special cabaret introducing twenty strong features will take place on Thanksgiving, when each lady will receive an expensive and handsome souvenir. The well known comedian and song writer, Mr. Sid Perrin, is now playing over the Eastern time, being booked solid for ten weeks. Echoes from the Alda Overton Walker engagement indicate that should the Pekin theater become under colored management again it would prove a sure success. Manager Klein of the two Monogram theaters is having his hands full these days. In a week or so more it will be the Two Sweets for breakfast, dances and supper and the Mooses. Griswell & Bailey, all the time. Cinchnati, Ohio. — The Lincoln Amusement Company has about completed one of the finest theaters that has ever been built and it is up to the colored people of that city to give it their support. A few years ago they had the opportunity to support a very good theater but owing to race prejudices it was closed against them. With this new enterprise there will be no stigma against the owners and no doubt but what the Lincoln Theater will be supported and welcomed by the people of that city. Edgar Connor and the Sambo Girls opened at Milwaukee Monday. The act was the hit of the bill. ELECTA CHAPTER: Electa Chapter No. 1, O. E. S., will give an entertainment at Mrs. Luckey's, 5441 Dearborn street, Monday evening, November 24. An Eastern Star pillow and hand-made shopping bag will be given as prizes. An excellent program by some of the best local talent of the city. Mrs. Sue Grondy of the Watermelon Trust left for Boston Wednesday to visit her partner, Lulu Coates. Manager Klein, after trying to blum and threaten performers that he would not give them any more work, now seems willing to come on. He is now only too glad to work any act that he can get. Have you heard Tom Lemonie's latest song entitled "Up Today and Down Tomorrow." It's another "Consolation." Carita Day's Parisian parlor is attracting the attention of many of her professional acquaintances as she is receiving orders for gowns and hats daily which speaks well for her popularity in and out of the profession. Miss Fannie Wise has returned after playing two weeks in Columbus and Dayton, O. The juggling Julians are in the city after a two years' absence. They have been playing California. Mr. Julian showed the writer some juicy contracts. The Julians have no equals and are in a dance by themselves in colored novelty acts. TALLABOO AT THE PEKIN Open Night Monday at the Pekin. Tallaboo, a play written by _Attorney N. W. Harper of Loulville, Ky, and staged at the Pekin a few years and was the most brilliant and financial success since the palmy days of the late "Bob" Motts, will open at the Pekin on Monday. When the play was here before it had a six weeks' run. Every race man and woman in Chicago saw it and appreciated the efforts of the author as well as the cast. So noble and inspiring was the theme and acting so clever that people were turned away nightly. The success was so flattering that Lawyer Harper of Loulville came to Chicago and was given a royal welcome and told the audience what inspired him to write the play. Chicago people appreciated the play and the acting also. Many will recall the fine humor of Mr. Dunham as "Sam." Mrs. Nellie Stone Lane as "Tallaboo" scored a big success, as did Mrs. Fallie Hall Clint, Miss Bettiola Forsten, Mrs. Jennie Lacey, whose acting created tremendous applause and favorable comment, Mme. Clara Hutchinson, the charming soloist, Alda Cummings, the beautiful maid, George Hutchinson, A. G. Simms, George Ganaway, Sim Walls, Olevia and others. The house should be crowded nightly. Get your seats in advance. Box parties nightly. All the clubs of the city are going to have a night in the boxes. Tallaboo is here—make the Pekin look like days of yore. GRIFFIN SISTERS The Griffin Sisters will open up a theatrical agency at 3159 State Street. They are personally acquainted with all the actors. We hope them success. JERRY MILLS. Jerry Mills and H. C. Jenkins will handle the stage for the Tallaboo company. CLEF CLUB, NEW YORK. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] New York, N. Y., November 21.—The famous Clef Club of New York City gave a concert at the Howard Theater, Washington, D. C., on the 7th that delighted an audience that packed Manager Thomas' beautiful playhouse from pit to dome. The music throughout was the work of noted Negro composers, the selections covering the long range between the folk song, the "rag" and the modern tango, up to the purely classic. The Clef Club, with its bewildering array of instruments, played each type of music with a precision, verity of expression and technique that made the cultured audience gasp with surprise—an audience, too, that hears the Marine Band frequently, and has sat often with Sousa, Creatore, Gilmore and the rest of the masters of the instrumental ensemble. The baton was wielded by Prof. James Reese Europe, a Washington product, and the sixty trained musicians responded to its every movement as if they were a part of it. Mr. Europe was assisted by Mr. W. H. Tyers, and the latter gentleman was not less effective in bringing out the vast possibilities that lie in the typical compositions of the evening, twenty in number. The club was generous in the matter of encores, and nearly every number was so vociferously applauded that it had to be repeated. Will Marion Cook's "Exhortation," "Rain Song" and new piece, "Swing Along" came in for warm appreciation, and his name was on every tongue as the rich melodies conceived by him were being rendered. two selections by Tyers, personally conducted, and others by Will Vodery, S. Coleridge-Taylor, H. T. Burleigh and J. Rosamond Johnson were highly enjoyed, and, with a duet by Felix Fowler Ware and H. Leonard Jeter, violin and 'cello, and a planologue by Al Johns, a program of exceptional merit was happily rounded out. The soloists all went big, as the penpushers say, the honors being pretty evenly divided among Louis A. Mitchell, tenor, a favorite here; Harvey White, baritone; Emory B. Smith, baritone, and Vance L. Lowery, banjoist. Mr. Mitchell captivated the 2,000 music lovers present with his artistic rendition of "I Hear You Calling Me." Ware and Jeter received an ovation. "The West Virginia Dance" and "A Hot Step" furnished the necessary "roussements" for the varied program. C. AND C. HOTEL WINS The annual billiard tournament between the Cole and Catlin Hotel and the Brunswick Hotel came to a close on Thursday night. The Cole and Catlin won the coveted prize. Cole and Catlin will be banqueted by George H. Holt of the Brunswick. William Adams, the tailor, was the referee. MRS. MARTHA ANDERSON. WINS PRIZE OF HONOR Mrs. Martha Anderson, the noted singer, proved she was very conversant with the literary people of the race. Pictures of noted people were strung all over Johnson Hall on Thursday afternoon and Mrs. Anderson succeeded in naming the most and she won the prize. The entertainment was for the benefit of Phyllis. Wheatly home. Rev. Callis presented the prize.

Mr. Thompson was appointed by Gov. Dunne. He is an old Chicagoan and his appointment here is considered a high honor. ETHEL WHITESIDE AND PICKS. She Thinks the Southern Negro Lazy. This act at the Grand this latter part is unique throughout; but in certain parts it is nauseating to the large number of college men and women who crowd the house nightly; we can stand for everything but her saying and trying to impress the world that the Negro is lazy. We insist that the management have Miss Ethel strike out "lazy Southern Negro," while playing in his house, that rot is all right for a town in Georgia, but not for the class of people she comes in contact with in Chicago; otherwise the act is worth the support of the theater-goers. The rest of the bill is great. Kentucky Citizens Planning to Start Race Paper. Owensboro, Ky., Nov. 21.—The business and professional men at Owensboro, Ky., are very desirous of establishing a race newspaper in that city and are in quest of a man with sufficient ability and experience to take charge of it.

DOORS OPEN J O'CLOC. PERFORMANCE AT 2:15 E. Bismarck Slaughter Advertising Representative OPENING THE cing Academy Best of Order - December 10, 1913 Thanks giving the Dunbars and the Lincolns will meet at the Webster playgrounds in a battle for the championship of Chicago. Both teams are made up of exceptionally good players but the northsiders seem to have the edge although many unexpected things may happen. If the Lincolns can stop Nap Blutt's field goals they stand a chance. This fellow is dangerous anywhere within forty yards of the uprights. Sunday his toe defeated the Trottier A. C. with a drop kick from the forty-two yard line, winning 3-0. This was the first defeat that the Naperville boys had seen in three years. The officials of the game are Dr. Young, Northwestern; Dr. Parker, Northwestern; Bob Johnson, Dartmouth; Julius Wendorph, Colgate; Mr. Hammond, New York University, and Cary B. Lewis, Fiske. The kick off is at 1:30—admission free. The teams will line up as follows: Dunbars. Position. Lincoln's. McGee. l. c. Pearman Baston. l. t. Bailley W. Brown. l. g. Overton Carroll. c. Vaughn Edwards. r. g. Rogers Taylor. r. t. Thornton C. Brown. r. c. Dade V. Blueitt. q. b. Bunn Levenberry. r. h. b. Portlock N. Blueitt. l. h. b. Langston Freeman. f. b. Motley Substitutes for Dunbar—Ya'ber Jackson, Ascott, Pickett, Dixon, Williams. For Lincoln—Ross, Graham, Porter. Special mention should be made of the playing of Farrell Jones of Lake High for three weeks in succession he has been sent over for touchdowns. Carlisle killed Dartmouth's chances of claiming the eastern championship. The Raymond school won from the Y. M. C. A. junior team at indoor baseball Tuesday night. Saturday the "Y" boys took Wendell Phillips into camp at basketball. Some people will always abuse privileges. It is brought to our attention that some are unfair to those granted them at the Webster grounds. The keeper there is fair to everyone and knows no color, but last week a youthful member of our race and two white boys helped themselves to a good football and made away with it only to find themselves a few days later in the county jail. These boys are about seventeen, too. JULIUS N. AVENDORPH ON FOOTBALL Writes on Nebraska's Actions. The actions of the University of Nebraska in refusing to consider favorably the protest of the University of Kansas against Ross, left guard on the University of Nebraska football team, is such a great satisfaction to me that I cannot refrain from saying a word relative to the affair. I have a feeling of great pride in the affair, not necessarily pride that emanates from race pride, but pride that is the result of seeing something you have advocated succeed. From the first article I wrote on the young colored men in athletics in high schools and universities, up until I gave way to our illustrious sporting editor, Mr. Young, it was my contention that the young colored man's place during his school life was in athletics, as it not only brought him in contact with the best in the school, but it also afforded protection and help in any way that he might need it. Notwith Nebraska is a western uni- d Kansas a southern uni- re are both white universities, as there is an element of sun favor of the colored ath ask a question or protest arrests, particularly to the extent of a military threatening, as Kansas did, to an叙 all game with Nebraska if the colored man was allowed to play. it was reasonable to expect that anything would be done rather than have the game canceled, particularly when the protest arose over a colored man, but this was an instance where a white man was not the equal of the colored man, and without the services of the colored man there was a possibility of sacrificing an honor which every high school and university alike is anxious to achieve. . . . My advice to all young men attending high schools and universities is to take an active part in whatever athletic field you are best fitted for. If you have no inclination along these lines, get a copy of last week's Defender and read what the University of Nebraska did against the protest of another university in behalf of a colored young man and I sure you will be inspired.

TEN COLORED MEN KILLED (Continued from page 1.) (Continued from page 1.) old man in the South, no matter how respectable or innocent, a coroner's inquest was held with the following jury: John Edwards, George Groome, John Thompson, Harry Lee; Robert Arnold and Harry Zizzl, all white. The verdict of the coroner's inquest was that deceased was from a gunshot in a pistol in the hands of an unknown person. Mr. Warren was married and had a family and was a member of the church. Life Cheap in South The atrocious deed has aroused the sympathy of the fair minded white people, but that's all. This is the way reputable, law-abiding colored men are treated here in the South among their best friends. Human life to white men is as cheap as common clay, yet Negroes are told to remain here and work out their own salvation. Had this officer killed another respectable white man of good habits and law-abiding, there would have been riot protesting that the murdered man's slayer be revenged. Now that race men do not get justice either by judge or jury and shot down like dogs, a determined effort will be made hereafter that when one of their race goes, they will take a slayer with him. Too long and too often are colored men shot down and the white man to live. News Suppressed. This story was not given to the Associated Press but had a mob lynched him, it would have been heralded over the world. This only goes to prove, as the Defender says, that many of the race in the South are killed and a report of it is never seen in news columns. WHY NOT AMERICAN NEGROSOUTH? WHY NOT AMERICAN NEGROSOUTH? The laborers of East India, in their strike are showing the negro of America the kind of backbone he should have. In the United States the Negro takes all kinds of insults, is barred from public places in the south, Jim Crowed and segregated. Then he is called upon to fight for "his country." Everytime an injustice is heaped upon a member of the race, there comes a feeling of cowardice over those in a community where a wrong is done them. They merely say let's hope for the better and finally some will resolute. In Durban, Natal, 1,500,000 workers laid down their tools and tied up the labor industry of that country because a fellow laborer was flogged to death in a coal mining town of Dundee, 20 miles north of Ladysmith. Ill feeling has been brewing ever since and not a man of them has gone to work. One of the laborers was arrested for attempting to cross the border line from the Transvaal into Naples. III treatment to the Indians has caused the greatest strike in the history of the Transvaal and the strike has spread to other states of South Africa. At Ladysmith 1000 East Indians started a riot, their leaders claim that they were entitled to equal rights with white men. In every country and every clime can be heard echoes of men fighting for their rights as men. Race men of America, don't give up your fight. Let not the race leaders betray you. Stand your ground and don't be afraid to fight for your rights as men. Our rights shall never be gained unless you struggle. BROWN ENTERTAINS Probably the most formal and private affair of the season was the whist party given by Mrs. America Brown, 5120 Indiana avenue this afternoon. This affair was in honor of a few eastern friends who are visiting in the city. The invitations sent out were embossed. There will be a footman in full uniform, a maid in white uniform to present the visitors to the hostess, another to take charge of the wraps. The best known caterer of color on the south side will have charge of the serving and will be assisted by six experienced waitresses. The entire affairids fair to be the greatest opening of exclusive affairs that the winter's season has had for some time. MR FITTS' On Monday evening, November 17, Mr. Bernard M. Fitts was tendered a birthday stag by his estimable wife at 3970 Vernon avenue. Whist was in- dulged in until 11:30 o'clock, after which a Dutch luncheon, which had be prepared by Mrs. Fitts and her friend, Mrs. R. C. Hubbard, was served. Mrs. R. C. Hubbard was toastmaster. Those who responded were as follows: Hon. F. L. Barnett, "The host as a business man and citi- zen"; Mr. L. W. Washington, "The host as I know him"; Attorney W. W. Johnson, "The host, what he stands for the in the community"; Mr. A. J. Offord, "The host as a literary man." Others who spoke were J. W. Word, Henry Govis, James R. Douglas, William Thomas. The response by the host ended one of the most unique affairs of the season. Those present were Hon. F. L. Barnett, Henry S. Govs, Dr. W. H. Davis, A. J. Offord, L. W. Washington, J. W. Word, James R. Douglas, Thomas Turner, William Thomas, Attorney W. W. Johnson, R. C. Hubbard and B. W. Fitts. Curse of Luxury. The most judicious historians, the most learned philosophers, and the profoundest politicians, all lay it down as acertain indispensable maxim, that wherever luxury prevails, it never falls to destroy the most flourishing states and kingdoms; and the experience of all ages, and all nations, does but too clearly demonstrate the truth of this maxim.-Charles Rollin. After Much Bickering as to Whether Ross Would Play the Two Teams Finally Met on the Gridiron and the Kansans Were Beaten With Ross as a Hero. (Special to the Defender.) (special to the Derender.) McCook Field, Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 21.—Today Kansas went down in defeat not only as a football team but in the eyes of the world as a university of learning that insisted upon drawing the color line. There is many an aching heart and many an empty pocketbook for every one in this section bet his last blue on the Jayhawkors. Ross, the great colored star, played a stellar game despite the fact that Kansas had threatened to get him out the way—he emerged from the contest without a scar. Kansas used every means of unfairness simply because Nebraska insisted on playing Ross or cancel the game. "Jumbo" Stiehm led his warriors into Lawrence about noon only to find that the whole town was against them, refusing to feed them in any of the restaurants, and he finally led them to a hash house. Not a Nebraska pennant was seen. Contrary to the usual custom Nebraska sections failed to cheer Nebraska, but the 500 that came from Lincoln made some noise. Every time that Ross would break through and nail a Jayhawker the 500 would go wild and made the Kansas sections sick to their hearts. Furthermore, in Ross' little good to hit the few hard smashes at the plucky left guard and directed fussing around him and directed their plays elsewhere. The contention of Ross was the bone of contention. Some few weeks ago Kansas intended to play Ross or not. Stiehm said Ross was a member of the eleven and had won a regular position as guard and would play. The Kansas authorities claimed that an unwritten law existed that no one of color would be allowed to play in the games. Dean Avery of Nebraska came forth and showed his manhood, also placing his school above the average one west of the Alleghenies, and on the plain with Harvard, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania by saying that if Kansas would not play against Ross that Nebraska would cancel the game and also sever all athletic relations. This Kansas couldn't afford to do so Ross played. Kansas did all they could to make it unpleasant for the Nebraska team. Itrained several days before the game and no effort was made to protect the field and therefore the game was played in a sea of mud. Deep down in their hearts they hold a grudge against a school who although outweighed won a clean game and faced the world to go down on record as one who knew no color, no race or no creed.

It is one of the best equipped printing shops in the country. BOOSTING BUSINESS Prominent Citizens Taking an Active Part. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 21.—The local business men's league was reorganized here with a set of energetic and hustling officers. They use the Y. M. C. A. for their meetings. Hon. George L. Knox, Mr. Saunders, Dr. Furns and other prominent men of the city are interested. Miss Susie Knox is in Chicago, IH., visiting her sister, Mrs. H. S. Smith. Miss Mabel Smith will visit her home in Chicago the first of the year. Shelton & Willis, undertakers, purchased the large stone church adjoining the Y. M. C. A., which they propose to remodel and make one of the finest and most modern undertaking establishments in Indianapolis.

Their wisdom is as a grain of sand on the sea shore, and their vision as of the bat facing the mid-day sun. It has been said the most guarded and precious treasures of the UP WORLDDS, beyond the stars, is the record, kept by a shining angel—in a shining book, with leaves of gold—of the tears, the prayers, the groans, the shed blood of wronged black men and women, of wronged boys and girls, and the snuffed out lives of generations of infants, starved and famished, for want of mothers blessed with suck and nourishment, because of the horrors of the slaves's ship, the burning heat of cotton fields, the remorselessness of frothing hounds, and the trickling blood, that for hundreds of years, followed the sting of the driver's lash. What then think you? Is GOD DEAD? Is He just? Will He forget? Walt and see. Watch and believe. A great, and a mighty sentiment, of right and justice to all men, is spreading throughout the world. The dark skinned races of earth, as sure as there is a GOD in glory, will rise, are rising, with each day the world over, the MASTER lighting the way—"ON STEPPING STONES OF THEIR DEAD SELVES TO HIGHER THINGS." Met by Brass Band and Special Police Escort. (Special to the Defender.) (special to the Dealer): Bucarest, Austria-Hungary, Nov. 21. -Jack Johnson, world's heavyweight champion, arrived here last Sunday afternoon and was met by a band and special police. The first performance drew people here for miles around and every seat was sold the day he arrived. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were besieged by the leaders in military and social life. He made the biggest hit here of any of the vaudeville artists. He left for London, England. ON THE FIRING LINE C. E. Rowe Goes to Shoulder Gun with Carranza. C. E. Rowe, a classmate of Editor Abbott, writes that he has reached Jaurez, Mexico, and will join General Carranza in the Mexican war. Mr. Rowe will act as a representative of the Defender, giving accurate information on the Mexican situation. Back on the Santa Fe After Four Weeks' Illness. Mr. Milton Meridith, the oldest porter on the Santa Fe and whose arm is covered with straps for years of service from wrist to shoulder, went to work Monday for the first time in four weeks. Mr. Meridith resides at 52 West Third-first street, and was ill for three weeks at Los Angeles, Cal., and one week here. Monday he was given a short run, which pleases him very much. NEW SOUTH SIDE STORES The south side is growing constantly. Large stores are being erected and new business enterprises are being opened weekly. Big merchants are coming into this section and the largest one is the Abby Fur Company and the Lincoln Millinery Store, located at 2218 South State street. These houses are operated on sound business principles. The Defender has investigated them and observed their stock to be the latest and most valuable sold for the money. They sell at wholesale prices and this is done to save the buyer of the middle profit. Furs will be more stylish this winter than ever and the fur department has on hand some of the very finest furs on the market and they will be sold at rock bottom prices. Beautiful furs can be shown you by their polite clerks, one of whom is colored. The very latest hats—all styles and prices—can be found in the millinery department. There is no need for people on the south side going to the loop district to purchase furs or hats when they can be bought cheap within a stone's throw of your home or in your neighborhood. Give them a call. $812 Wabash Ave. THE CITY GARY. Gary, Ind., Nov. 21.—Rev. G. M. Davis has been called to the King's Baptist Church as pastor. He is one of the oldest ministers in the state. He has resided in this city since the call of the Messiah Baptist Church on Washington Street Church. Men's Institutional League at the First A. M. E. Church will hold their regular meeting Sunday at 3:30 p. m. The South Bend District Association was held at the First Baptist Church last Wednesday.

He is expected back in Gary this week. Mrs. Lewis of South Washington, is spending a few days in Chicago on business. Mr. Van McCoughtry will leave the first of December for Howard University at Washington, D. C., where he will enter school there. The people of this community wish Mr. McCoughtry great success and are proud of his ambitions and his aspirations. Mr. Cox of Cleveland, Ohio, came last week to join his family, and if agreeable will locate here permanently. Mrs. Richard Stewart, assisted by other ladies, served supper at the First A. M. E. church last Friday evening. Mrs. Cornellus, of Chicago, has come to this city and has opened a first-class restaurant at 15th and Washington streets. Mrs. Cornellus is and experienced cateress and serves parties, banquets, weddings and private dinners, giving splendid service. Miss Ruth Baskin of South Washington street, has gone to Chicago to take up work as a trained nurse. Mr. Merrett Russel has procured a splendid *home* at 1223 Vincennes avenue. Mr. D. R. Johnson has made improvements upon his home at 1429 Lowe avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Mallory have a nice residence in West Chicago Heights. Mr. Blanchett is still doing business at East End avenue and Sixteenth street. Rev. James H. Wood of the A. M. E. church preached an interesting sermon from a text found in Romans villi:15-16, subject "Witness of the Spirit." Text for 113 in *inst*, Mark 1:15, subject "The" *Humanity*. The Defender will publish its big Christmas number; in so doing it would like all its friends and readers to act as an agent for it, by getting the firm with whom you work if they are in the market to sell, to place an ad in your paper; each person who is able to do this will be given the paper free for one year and mention with cut in the Xmas number. Our city is so large and not being able to get enough men and women qualified to solicit ads, we call upon our readers and friends who are in positions to assist in making your home paper the paper of your heart, if you think the Defender is worthy of your support. BRAVE YOUNGSTER SA.ES'WHITE GIRL. Jumps in Creek and Saves Child. (Special to the defender.) Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 21—Little Marguerite Williams, 2 years old (white), slipped into a creek near her, not far from her home and little Edward Reed jumped into the creek and rescued the little girl. The boy remembered the training he received in the public schools and resuscitated the child by applying first aid to drowning. Dravery and heroism is inborn in the race, and this was demonstrated in this young boy. A physician said the boy's efforts saved the child's life. These feats occur often, but they sedom reach the white press. It is high time that the white race shows more of the spirit of brotherly love toward the race instead of so much race hatred. A Carnegie medal should be given this boy, with a sum of money to educate him. The citizens of this thrifty city should get busy and send in the name of this boy. Up to date not one effort has been made toward this end. Ministers, press and public have not bothered themselves to aid this smart boy. Get busy and do your duty. Stop being dummies. Be men and women. UNDERTAKER SPEAKS Addresses Student Body of Tuskegee. (Special to the Defender.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Nov. 21. Mr. George W. Franklin of Chattanooga, Tenn., president of the Negro Undertakers' Association, was the first of the successful business men to deliver addresses to the school. Mr. Franklin's address was helpful to the students and it is evident that the idea of bringing successful business men and women before the students of Tuskegee is bound to have productive value. WILBERFORCE UNI- VERSITY VILLAG' By Leroy Foote. Wilberforce University, Ohio, Nov. 21.—The enrollment of this year exceeds any year in the history of the institution. There are new faces from all parts of U. S. and also S. A., Africa, Trinidad and Bermuda. The opening address of the president, W. S. Scarborough was listened to by a very good audience. He spoke on the subject of "Personal Influence" which was very interesting and it was made more interesting by the president. The school has received into its midst, a gentleman worthy of praise, a graduate of Wilberforce, a student in Michigan 1912, a professor in Paul Quinn college and last but not least although useful to the race and mankind now promises to be more useful in the future. This gentleman is no other than one own Prof. L. F. Palmer, A. B. Prof. Palmer received his A. B. both from Wilberforce and Michigan. He is instructor in Latin and mathematics taking the place of the late Professor Earl E. Finch. Throughout all the U. S. and other countries this week is known as the week of prayer in the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. The students of Wilberforce are observing this by holding meetings every evening during the week. During the year there has been two socials and two entertainments. The "new students' reception" on the 23rd of last month was well attended and the new students were received very cordially by the old students. The second social was given Nov. 1 in honor of the Indiana boys. The recital by Mme. Hackley was the first entertainment given and the second was given by the Athletic Association. Both were well attended. The faculty promises to be kind enough to give socials once a month. Thank you, Faculty, thank you very much. Look out for Social "C" boys and girls. The moving pictures of Tuskegee Institute were very interesting. The football team has played three games, lost two and won one. The first game with Bluton was a complete walkaway for the "Force," 26 to 0. The second game with Indiana brought a defeat for the old "Green and Gold." Our boys fought bravely until the end but the "Red and White" carried the victory 6 to 0. In the game with W. Virginia Institute the boys of the "Force" met defeat by a score of 32 to 0. We are thankful the boys arrived home safely. Don't feel bad boys we beat them last year so "We should worry like our football and have Crawford kick us all over the ground." The team is preparing to play the boys from Louisville Monday and the game will be a very good one for the boys are pretty well balanced but the elasticity (ask E. Adams the meaning) of our team will be so small that elastic limit will be very hard to be found by the Louisville boys. 1914 Model Friend—"I suppose this is even a more remarkable baby than the one you had last year."

SPARKS FROM THE RAIL Winston's Spicy Gossip of Men and Events in the Railroad World. By John B. Winton. Mr. R. M. Johnson, 608 East 43rd street, one of the old pioneer private car men on the Illinois Central Railway, is now in the service of the Southern Pacific Railway Company, holding a position in the executive offices and on the private car when these executives go out on the road. Mr. Johnson writes that he only gets to come home every sixty days. Mr. Johnson was second vice-president of the Mount Glenwood Cemetery Association, and resigned August 26, 1912, and went on the above railroad company's president's car, with headquarters at 165 Broadway, New York City, room 1901. Mr. Johnson would be very pleased to hear from all the old railroad men. The Chicago defender reaches the people who read. Subscribe for it. Cheap dumps never advertise, and State streets is full of the above named places; and all railroad men should beware of such places. Trade with the people who advertise in this paper. Let this hit whom it may, for the truth is delight. Several critics are now on the Stroll watching these joy houses who do not advertise. This paper has no interest in such places beyond the desire to have them to advertise run straight. The writer does not want to insult the intelligence of the average fair-minded reader, but be careful in the future where you spend your evenings tipping the glasses under the strain of the music. This is a hint to the colored railroad men and their friends. Mr. Boston Vanwinkle, of New York City, is now on the Day Line steamer holding the position as head chef between New York City and Albany, is the latest report from New York by Mr. J. Lates, private car chef in the service of the New York Central. There are several outstanding bills for the Chicago Defender for subscription. You who owe this just bill please forward it to 3150 State street. We need our money. This is no free sheet. Mr. R. E. Williams, 4603 Federal street, is still on his old run to the city of Cleveland, Ohio, in Pullman service over the Lake Shore Railroad Company's lines. Mr. A. D. Hayes, 3640 State street, an ex-Pullman porter, has the Chicago Defender on sale with other leading colored papers. Drop in and see the old boy. It is reported that Mr. Henry Battise, who died November 3, 1913, willed his porter, Mr. Clarence Dobbins $200 and a lifetime position at 4701 State street. How true this is the writer is unable to confirm the statement. Henry was a Pullman porter. When he died he was estimated to be worth $31,000. His business is now being conducted by his brother, Albert Battise, barber shop and pool room. Al is also an ex-Pullman porter. Mr. L. H. Gibbs, 229 Myle avenue, Baltimore, Mr. is in the service of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company as train porter between Baltimore and Pittsburgh, Pa. Mr. A. L. Jackson, of Chicago, is holding the position as train porter in the service of the B. & O. R. R. Co. between Chicago and Pittsburgh, Pa., and has held this position for the past twenty-one years. Here is something very rare, men, which is short and brief to the point: Pittsburgh, Pa., has the honor among the race of having a colored man under the captainship as parlor car conductor, Mr. Ollie S. Jones, 77 Mahon street, in the service for the Bessmer & Erie Railroad Company out of the P. & L. E. Station, Pittsburgh, Pa. The writer interviewed Mr. O. S.

MAKES DRAWING OF A MARINE MONSTER Second Officer of the Steamship Corinthian Describes Fifty-Foot Sea Serpent. IT CRIED LIKE BABY Declares He Located Creature Off the Grand Banks, Near Where Titanic Sank—Had Bonny Blue Eyes and Neck Twenty Feet Long. London—Surely it would have been a mistake for the "illy" season to pass without its sea serpent. Down at the Surrey Docks is a man who has not only seen a fearful and wonderful marine monster, but has even sketched it from life. It is not exactly the sea serpent of hoary tradition, but a sort of sea giraffe—an extraordinary looking amphibious animal which is puzzling the zoologists who have heard of it and seen the drawing. Some idea of this weird freak may be gathered from this first hand description of it: "Has bonny blue eyes; cries like a baby; neck twenty feet long; body fifty feet; big head with long ears and snout; three horned fins adorn its bony head; two big flapping fins; skin like a seal; brownish yellow in color, with pretty dark spots." A plain, commonsense seaman, who tells his story bluntly, without any frills or trimmings, Second Officer G. Bachelor of the steamship Corinthian, describing his strange adventure with the sea giraffe, said: "We were bound from London to Montreal, and it was my turn on watch on the bridge in the early morning of August 30. It was cold and the gray dawn was just breaking, when, as I was keeping my eye straight ahead on our course, I picked up a queer-looking object about a mile ahead. It disappeared, and as quickly it shot up again no more than 200 feet away from the ship. "I distinctly saw it rise out of the water. First, there was a big head, with long ears and long snout, and bulging blue eyes that were mild and liquid. Then there was a neck—no end of a neck—and it swayed with the wash of the waves. What it was I couldn't guess, for in twenty years of sea-going, including trips in tropical waters, I've never seen anything like this sea giraffe that was staring right at the Corinthian. "As the thing seemed to eye me it lashed the water with its big front fins. Then it suddenly dived and disappeared, at the same time giving an odd little wall like a baby's cry. You wouldn't think such a huge animal could have had such a small voice. "As soon as I went off duty I went below and made a sketch of the monster in India in. When the Corinthian reached Montreal my sketch was shown to Prof. F. E. Lloyd of McGill university, an expert in zoology. The professor said that whatever it was, it wasn't a serpent, but a sea 607 "Seemed to Eye Me." mammal. It was certainly built on high speed lines, and its fulllike protuberance was well adopted for running things up. "I located this sea giraffe in latitude 47 degrees 51 minutes north and longitude 48 degrees 32 minutes west, off the Grand Banks, and not many miles distant from the spot where the Titanic went down. I am Inclined to think myself that the wreck of the Titanic has had something to do with the presence of this strange creature in water where nothing of the kind has ever been noticed before. Is it making food of the dead bodies below? Mr. Bachelor made the gruesome suggestion in all seriousness. He was evidently impressed with the absolute accuracy of his observations. Mr. Bachelor, it may be added, is a canny Scot, and his view is that there may still be more survivors of an almost extinct race of sea beasts. Anyway, zoologists are not unacquainted with an "amphibious or aquatic reptile" called the sauaptergia, which curiously resembles the description of what Mr. Bachelor saw.
