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.

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.

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. Law- renee, but well worth reading again and again. What a picture—how vivid —of men and women all ahout us, whose friendships are as fickle as the shifting sands, and whose religion is a base metal—a thing of show and dis- play. Said the preacher, and as he spoke a vast congregation hung on his words: “Position and circumstance some- times help to defeat men and women in their spiritual fight, and especially when they begin to be a bit prosper- ous. Doubtless most of you could ‘point ont 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 sue- eeed just a little. They turn their backs upon their former friends, and for no othek 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 & 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 vie- torious life are not for such as these —not for them—the pity of it, not for them," OSHKOSH SOCIETY Oshkosh, Nov. 21.—A spiritual ser- mon was delivered at the A. M. E.

But we are afraid they slipped a cog this week when they failed to have a demonstration of any sort in observiuice of the fiftioth anniversary of Lincoln's speech at Get- tysburg. At the state house in Spring: ield, under the auspices of the Ili nois Histérieal Society, at which Gov. Dunne and other officials were pres: ent, appropriate exercises were held, and organizations all over the coun- try did likewise, There is nothing in the fife of Lincoln that we should overlook; in fact, we should be the first to do houor to his name, ‘The Appomuttox Clib is composed of the brainfest_ 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 expecctd to observe Thursday, Nov. 27, a8 a day of thanks and praise giving. There is much that we should be thankful for. ‘The year has been full to overtiow- ing with incidents that directly or in- directly concern us all. A new and untried administration has been ust ered in, and with it came in power many of our areh enemies. They have done some things to browbeat and tn- mniliate us, but their efforts have not been entirely snecesstul, due in x great measure to the fact that by thelr in- Justice they aroused our champions, who forced their way to the front and in no mild terms demanded and re- ceived a hearing, with the result that We are standing on a more firm foun- dation. From all parts of the country comes tangible evidence of prosperi- ty, the percentage of illiteracy is rap- Ialy decreasing, many unions have Tet down the color bars, and there is a seeming spirit of chance giving and an inelination 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.

J. Bills, oditor of the club paper, rend a very logical paper on conditions of today and pointed the way to at least temporary relief. Mrs. EB.

Every dol- Jar Invested belonged to a Negro, and who ean again say that they are afraid to risk their money, for here were gathered urtists from many states at an enormous expense'to entertain the public of Chicago? Even 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 suppor’, race enterprises, ‘The promoters, however, evidently knew better, as does The Chicago Defender, who has been trying to instil the prin- ciple of nothing ventured, nothing gained, and we as a race are constl tuted na differently than any other race, All we want isa hundred cents worth for every dollar spent. The Alda Overton Walker example is 4 good one. ‘The promoters were up tc date in their methods and fully ap preciated the power of the press by a kenerous expenditure in advertising And speaking of advertising, we are reminded that for the entertaininent o} pleasure lovers Thanksgiving night there are scheduled four different af fairs. ‘Their success will be measurec by the amount of advertising they do and there is no getting around thal fact.

With the advent of the new year churches of Chicago of several denom- inations 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 dt vorced from politics, thereby increas- ing the Infaence 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 religions campaign in years Js to be inaugurated. This idea is not 2 spasmodic one, but the only solution of devout and advanced church ped- ple who have always realized that the present system had Its faults. Now, the man who admires certain clersy- men 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 day. No longer will silver- ‘tongued orators laud candidates for office from the sacred rostrum, no longer will schools and other institu- tions that are in want be helped by appeals during the services. The pas- tor is to only perform the holy fune- tions of his office—preach the gospel, bury the dead, console the alek and af- Micted and perform marriage ceremo- ales.

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. George's Danabegay at Oakland Music Hall Wed., sday evening. November 25, will be a society event and Garfield Wilson will furnish the music. Hear Frank P. George in "Bread and Milk." Miss St. Clair White, Mme. Marie Burton-Hyram and others will appear. Don't forget the Foresters' ball Thanksgiving night, first Regiment Armory. Garfield Wilson Orchestra Admission 50 cents.----15-22 "MY FRIEND FROM KENTUCKY." J. 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.

The entertainment was for the benefit of Phyllis. Wheatly home. Rev. Callis presented the prize.

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. If they can find the man they will contribute $1,000 cash to start it off. These men are actuated solely by race pride. Owensboro has a total population of 26,000, 7,000 of which are Negroes. Small surrounding or nearby towns which the paper would cover have a Negro population of perhaps 15,000 or 20,000. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT. Mrs. Gertrude E.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Alexander, of Pittsburgh, will lecture at the Baptist Church on Monday. Mr. Elijah Hammonds has been spending a week in his home at Muncie, Ind., on business and visiting his family and friends. 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."
