When the restrictions preventing the sale of Freedmen's lands was removed by Congress in 1908, it was the signal for wholesale robbery of these Freedmen's lands, and the white guardians of Negro minors sold their guardian wards' lands for a mere pittance and in turn shared in the fortunes made from oil found on the lands sold. Sarah Rector, the little Negro girl just out from Muskogee, whose income from her oil lands amounts to more than a thousand dollars a day, lives in a little log shack, and wears the cheapest kind of clothes, and is given but a meager education by her white guardian, who doles out for her support but a few dollars each month. Today her income, with but perhaps a third of her land developed, amounts to $1,030 per day from oil product alone. This is increased by the money being loaned out at a good rate of interest, making her income nearly $400,000 per annum. The white guardian receives 2 per cent fee for handling her property, and the little Negro girl, although rich as Croesus, lives in a log shanty, has but the commonest fare and fly made clothes. If she were a white child her guardian would see that she lived in a manner befitting her income and was receiving the best education. Her riches only serve to enrich whites; only serve to enable whites to live in luxury while she lives in poverty, or next door to poverty. Only this week a decision was handed down in the courts of this state in the case of Adam Doyle, an old Negro ninety years old, who is insane, and whose lands, worth many millions for the oil on them, were disposed of, which practically and clearly robbed him. His present guardian brought suit to recover his valuable lands on the ground that he was insane, which he is, and not competent to make a deed or contract. Rich white oil companies are now in possession of his lands worth many millions, having secured them from him for a mere song because he was too unbalanced in mind to know what he was doing when he signed them away. The decision given in the case was that "he is a man of unsound mind, but capable of some understanding." This queer decision legalizes the robbery of this old Negro and gives to the soulless white individuals and corporations which secured his lands under deeds and contracts which he as an insane man signed. Oklahoma has many bright Negro men and women, some brilliant and strong attorneys, but they cannot become guardians of the Negro minors who possess rich oil, coal and farming lands because no bond they could get would be accepted by the courts, and because "it is so arranged" they cannot secure proper bond. Sarah Rector, the little Negro girl whose income approximates $400,000 per annum, has a white guardian, and her parents are ignorant, so ignorant they have no conception whatever of the amort of her income and no inclination to insist upon a good education and befitting comforts for her, so little Sarah easily becomes the prey of white men. If the "grandfather" clause is found unconstitutional in this state and the Negro secures his franchise back again the order of Negroes by unprincipled will be stopped and perhaps the disposed riches of Negro be returned to them by of law. Millions upon been actually stolen men of this state—y fraud. own may, eliminate another. The Chicago Defender. WOMEN'S CONVENTION. Center of Blue Grass Welcomes Fair Sex. By Hardin Tolbert. Shelbyville, Ky., Nov. 28.—President C. P. Russell of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute attended the conference by representatives of the Negro Land Grant Colleges at the Y. M. C. A. at Washington, D. C. This is one of the largest meetings of educators in the country. Prof. Russell held the climax off for the thousands of Kentuckians of whom he was their only representative. His eloquent oratory in response to the welcome address won for Kentucky a higher standard in the oratorical field. President Russell filled the capacity as a member of the executive committee. Kentucky is glad to have been represented by such a scholarly gentleman as President Russell. The City Federation of Women's Clubs met at Corinthian Baptist Church and a large crowd was present. The following program was rendered: Song, choir; prayer and Scripture reading. Rev. M. B. Lanier; song, by First Baptist Church choir; reports from clubs; song, A. M. E.

Anderson, state organizer, was, as usual, busy exerting all powers to make this meeting a success and with the co-operation of other good women. Mrs. Mayme Stone Roman of Shelbyville, Ky., attended the women's convention. MISS CONSTANCE GARNER Highly Proficient in Pharmacy. (Special to The Defender.) Macon, Ga., Nov. 28—The Southside Pharmacy is one of the leading drug stores in the state. Miss Constance Garner is a graduate pharmacist of Mehary College.

The drug store is a howling success. ATTY. W. W. JOHNSON MARRIES JEWISH LADY Indianapolis, Nov. 27—Attorney W. W. Johnson, Chicago, arrived here this morning and proceeded at once to the home of the bride on Indiana avenue, where he was united in marriage to a Jewish widow reputed to be wealthy. The ceremonies were under Jewish recital. The attorney is quite a Hebrew scholar and is well known in Jewish society. The happy pair left on the evening train for Chicago. THEATRICAL MAGNATE. (Special to The Defender.) Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 28.—Tim E. Owley, proprietor of the Crown Garden Theater, is also president of the Colored Vaudeville Association, which supplies acts for forty or more houses. The house is on a good paying basis and Mr. Owley has a pay roll of $400 per week. He left this week for Chicago on business. CHICAGO, IL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1913.

Will Some Foreign Country Come Out and Protest for These Benighted Christians.—The Negroes' Greatest Enemies Today, all Over America, Are Those People Who Were Crushed in Their Homeland.—They, All of Them, Have So Soon Forgotten. London, Nov. 28—To commence with they have deprived Jack Johnson of his championship title on two counts, the first being that he has been condemned by an American court of justice. He may or may not have been guilty of any very heinous crime. The evidence on the point is doubtful, to say the least, but in any case the faults of his private life can have no bearing on his position as a boxer. To our minds, he forfeited his title more than four years back, in May, 1909, to be precise, when he failed to put in an appearance with Sam Langford at the National Sporting Club. He had agreed to the terms and conditions of this contest, had signed a contract to appear, and then—just stayed away. By all rule and precedent he should have been made to resign, and should have been deposed then, but the English public forgot, as it has a habit of doing, while the American and French public ignored the matter altogether. Now it is a plain axiom that no man can be acquitted of a crime and then subsequently be condemned for it, and though Jack has never since shown and great appetite for a contest with either Langford or Jeanne, he has never actually broken any contracts for such contests. It is true that he did sign a few contracts for Australia and that he broke them, but then these were for a series of battles and not for any championship affair. We are afraid that there will never be another heavyweight title-holder until Johnson either retires or is beaten. We are even the profession, would not stand for it to commence with.—From "Boxing." Nov. 15. JOHNSON'S CHALLENGE. The "Matin" publishes a letter from Jack Johnson's manager, stating that Johnson offers to fight anyone for a personal stake of 100,000 or 200,000 frames ($20,000) or $140,000. He is particularly anxious to meet Langford, Jeannette or Moran. Reuter. SOUTHERN WHITE GEN. SHOOTS DEFENSE MAN.

The passenger entered the car, paid his fare and was talking to a companion in a loud tone of voice when the conductor yelled at him to shut up or he would kick him out of the car. The passenger demonstrated and the conductor became offended at the answer and a .45 Colt's was drawn and the white cracker fired, and as he attempted to shoot again the passenger grabbed the conductor and weapon. A policeman arrived and the colored man was arrested and the conductor allowed to continue with the street car. It seems here that the railway company gives the conductors a kind of license to be mean and dis courteous to its colored passengers, and this, going the limit, has resulted to taking life. This, however, will put a stop to their liberties, for colored men here have sworn to Almighty God that they would no longer be dogged and killed unless they take a white assailant with them. The pistol "toter" was merely censured, but the next, say race man, will be buried. That old saying of living peacefully with the white man and he trying to take your life will go no longer in these parts. C. K. ROBINSON BRILLIANT EDITOR. (Special to The Defender.) St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 28.—One of the largest and most successful printing establishments conducted by a race man is the one owned and conducted by C. K. Robinson. He is the editor of the leading paper here and formerly Keeper of Records and Seal of the Supreme Lodge, K. of P. Mme. ANITA PATTI BROWN'S LARGE CONCERT Arrives After Stormy Voyage and Gives Big Concert Second Night in City—Company Well Received by Natives. (Special Cable to the Defender.) Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 28.—The finest concert of the season was given here Monday night at the new Ward Theatre by Madame Anita Patti Brown, the bronze Tetrazell, of Chicago, Ill., U. S. A., and her talented cape, called the Sing-Teil-Play Co. It was the opening concert of her tour and a brilliant and artistic success. It was a rich musical treat from start to finish and those absent missed a real enjoyable treat. No Stranger. Madame Brown is no stranger to Jamaica. In 1911 she visited the shores, and her charming voice delighted all who had the pleasure of hearing her. Accompanying her are Mr. George R. Garner, Miss Garner and Mr. Wyatt Houston. The program opened with a piano solo, "Jonglerie," by Miss Garner, which was well received. Then came Mr. Garner, whose splendid baritone voice simply carried the audience by storm in two well-chosen selections. Heartily Applauded. As Madame Brown appeared before the footlights many in the audience remembered her, and the applause was deafening. She sang (a) "Chanson Provençale," by Del Acqua, (b) "Love's Whisper," by Willey and (c) "Daddy's Sweetheart," by Lehmann, She responded to the encore with "Swanee River." This number was one of the best ever heard on the island. Mr. Wyatt Houston, a young violinist, won for himself a lasting name and bunches of appreciation.

Hit of the Evening. The hit of the evening was Madame Brown's rendition of the aria, the mad scene from Lucia de Lammermoor, by Donizetti. Here is where she showed her wonderful voice, artistic training and fine stage appearance. Her voice was sweet and thrilling and the audience showed its appreciation by continuous applause. "Aria Romanza" was the other selection that the celebrated singer excelled herself and established the fact that she was the greatest singer ever to visit the island. Miss Garner's playing was marvelous and the whole concert was one grand success. MONSTER ENTERPRISE Poro College Has Big Days' Receipts. (Special to The Defender.) St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 28.—Poro College, a school for teaching hair culture and manufacturing hair preparations, occupies a magnificent large stone building in one of the most desirable parts of the city.

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. and Mrs. John H. Mayo, of 3343 Vernon avenue, announce the engagement of their daughter, Pearl Elizabeth, to Raymond T. Middleton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Middleton, of Washington, D. C. LYNCHING REDUCED. Less Members of Race Strung Up This Year Than Last. (Special to The Defender.) Washington, D. C., Nov. 28.—Dr. Booker T. Washington has issued a comprehensive statement in which is shown the encouraging fact that for the ten months of the year 1913, ending with October 31, lynching has been reduced by four, as compared with the number happening during the same period of the previous year. "At the end of six months of the present year," says Dr. Washington, "there had been twenty-four lynchings. At the end of ten months, November 1, there had been forty-five lynchings. In a like period in 1912 there had been forty-nine lynchings of Negroes." Dr. Washington points out the salient truth also that few of the cases of mob violence were for assaults on women, and even these few were summarily punished on doubtful evidence. Most of the lynchings were for alleged murder, burglary, assisting criminals to escape, fighting with white men, or larceny of a petty character. "A reduction in the number of lynchings by four, though small, means something in the way of higher civilization," concludes Dr. Washington's timely and thoughtful analysis of the situation. THE DEFENDER OFFICE CLOSED THANKSGIVING. Early reports coming into this office tell of great casualties during Thursday. We must all begin a fight for sane Thanksgiving. Numbers of little boys and girls are in Provident Hospital from swallowing turkey neck bones and other important parts of the beast! Several of the staff did not show up on Friday for work. It was learned on reliable information, that Mr. Alfred Anderson, one of our editorial writers, got in a mixup with the hip of a goose and was thrown five feet from the table. Luckily for him, he fell on a sofa and was not injured. He, however, took courage and resumed his dinner. Numerous articles were left out this week because of going to press earlier than usual. CHICAGO LEADS Wears One of the Most Beautiful Gowns of the Occasion. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 28—The annual state hall was the warm social event of the season. The most beautiful gowns of the year were seen on this occasion. One of that number was worn by Mrs. C. Delph Roger, of Chicago, Ill. It was a black satin with jet trimming. The corsage was relieved by a touch of dark blue and American Beauties. REV. ALLEN DELIVERS ABLE SERMON (Special to The Defender). South Berd, Ind., Nov. 28—Rev. Allen, pastor of Olivet A. M. E. Church, delivered a fine sermon here on Thanksgiving Day. A new interest was manifested in the building of a new church. It is understood that Rev. Allen has succeeded in getting the co-operation of a number of prominent white cieizens. TOM McKAINE BACK. When Tom McKaine got out at the Pompeii Wednesday evening on his return from his home, where he went to visit his sick mother, the orchestra struck up the old tune "All Hall the Chief" and all did hail the chief. You could hear the welcome ring. After it was over the boys asked Tom how did, and could he stand the Jim Crow treatment. Tom said anyone who loved their mother as I do mine would go through h—1 to see her. You know me. Of course all the boys know the jolly little Tom. THE REVEREND AND WIFE SURPRISED A pretty surprise party was tended Reverend and Mrs. John W. Robinson, Tuesday evening, at the parsonage, 4925 Wabash avenue, by the ladies of St. Mark's M. E. Church.

St. Louis, Mo. Nov. 28—L. S. Williams, one of St. Louis's successful undertakers, has recently branched out in the monument business, and in addition to furnishing funeral service can now supply patrons with gravestones from the simple kind to the costly marble or granite monument, all made in his establishment. To get a soft berth you generally have to rout some one else out of it. LONDON REJOICES OVER COLORED MAYOR AND MAYORESS Mayor Archer Received Congratulations from Every Mayor Under the Union Jack.—The Incident Has Welded the Darker Races to England Closer Than Ever Before. (Special to the Defender.) Tall, handsome and brown skinned, London, England, Nov. 28.—Batter he said: "The suspense is over; the sea today is the first borough to elect victory is won, the proud a colored man. Mr. John Archer, a victor of a victory such as any. The Mayor and Mayoress of Battersea, Eng. The Defender takes great pleasure in presenting to its readers, through the kindness of Mr. A. M.

His mother is an Irish woman, and not his wife, as was desired to the Defender's office through our Let-o-graphogram, and his father a native of Jamaica. The Defender is the only man in America to give these pictures to its readers, and gives more foreign news of the races than any man in America. Progressive, was the victor, securing the honors by a vote of 30 to 29. When he was elected the people of the borough went wild with joy. The news was sent around the world—it's still going. A good clean man made a clean race. Elected on Merit. Mr. Archer was elected on his merit. He has been living in Battersea for a number of years, but was born in Lancaster, where he was educated. He fitted himself early in life to be a strong and useful character. As was stated in the Defender two weeks ago, he is a photographer on Park road. His work was of such commanding interest, exhibiting so much skill and art, that he became one of the most popular men in the borough. He is a hard worker and a man of fine traits. It was his superior character, industry and ability that won him the highest honor that comes to a borough. All through his career his loving wife was by his side ready for counsel and encouragement. He has been in municipal affairs for many years, always fair and honorable, and looked upon as the most exemplary man in the borough, having twice been a member of the local council and twice a member of the Wandsworth and Battersea of Guardians, places given those men of distinction and character. "I Am a Man of Color." The night of the election the Council chamber was filled with Englishmen. On the same night John Burns was returned to Parliament. During the election not a word was referred to color. It was the most hotly contested election ever held in the boroughs of England. The election over, Mr. Archer arose to express his gratitude and thankfulness to those who had supported him and his desire to give Battersea an administration they could well feel proud. SALARY TO BE INCREASED (Special to The Defender.) Louisville, Ky., Nov. 28.—Miss Lucy Du Valle, the only female principal in this city, will have her salary increased, is the report of those who are well informed in school matters. She is one of the most competent teachers here. MADAM WALKER SALES FOR CUBA (Special to The Defender.)

"I am the son of a man who was born in the West India Islands. "I was born in England, in an obscure village called Liverpool. I am a Lancastrian born and bred, and my mother—well, she was my mother. "She was not born at Rangoon, but she is a member of one of the greatest races on the face of the earth—she was an Irishwoman, so there is not so very much foreign blood about me after all." Mr. Archer later on lapsed into poetry, and said that it might be urged that East is east and west is west. And never the twain shall meet, but he hegged to remind the council of the saying: And God has made of one blood all Nations on the earth to dwell. "A New Era." His concluding remark was: "My election tonight means a new era. You have made history tonight. For the first time in the history of the English nation a man of color has been elected as mayor of an English borough. That will go forth to the colored nations of the world, and they will look to Battersea and say Battersea has done many things in the past, but the greatest thing it has done has been to show that it has no racial prejudice and that it recognizes a man for the work he has done." Mr. Archer seemed prouder of his race than ever. He spoke with great feeling and was given hearty applause. There are many colored men in America who are even passing for white who could speak a good word for the race. PIONEER UNDERTAKER Becomes Wealthy in St. Louis (Special to The Chicago Defender.) St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 23.—W. C. Gordon, the pioneer undertaker at St. Louis, did a $54,000 business last year—that is, his receipts amounted to that much. His real estate operations also netted him handsomely. Mr. Gordon is rated the most successful and wealthiest Negro in St. Louis. Starting some seventeen years ago with capital of not more than $300, by tention to business and honest ding he has now reached a point where the earnings from his business investments amount to $20,000. num. --- DAYTON THE CITY BEAUTIFUL By A. W. Hubbard. (Special to The Defender.) Dayton, Nov. 28.—Mrs. Harry Gardner was taken to the Miama Valley hospital last Saturday to be operated on. Her Friends wish her a speedy recovery. All news for this column leave at the Bell Hotel barber shop. Dr. Schoolley of Cincinnati was the guest of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mallory of Fifth and Horace streets. The Fair Browns and Miss Lizzie Holden held the boards at the Pekin theater last week, and Bart Kennet and Company, magicians; Tim and Hester Moore, singing, talking and dancing comedians, hold the boards this week. Mr. Ollie Dempsey, proprietor of the Pokin theater of Cincinnati, motored to the city in his auto. While here he was the guest of Mr. Harry Gardner, proprietor of the Palace Hotel. Mr. Dempsey also inspected the new Dunbart theater. Mi. and Mrs. Mose Moore will leave in a few days for a three months' tour over the country. Mrs. Moore was formerly Mrs. Marion Smart, the leading lady in the Smart Set Company. Mr. George Stewart, one of our popular undertakers, was married last week. The colored people of Dayton seem to be making rapid strides toward solving the everlasting problem which puzzles and vexes the country in general. The stock of citizens which came as direct descendants of slavery have made themselves felt in all changes of the city for more than fifty years, and their children have grasped the opportunities for education and fitted themselves for greater, better and brighter things. Many homes have been purchased and paid for, and many branches of business established and maintained in the face of the peculiar hindrances which come to this so humble, yet so hopeful people. There are nearly twelve thousand people who claim citizenship and touch elbows with their fellowmen in their daily efforts to win a livelihood, and these distributed throughout all parts of the city have made a showing worthy of the commendation of all who honor, push and progress. The following is a partial list of their business and industries: Five attorneys, twenty barbers, fifteen carpenters, two caterers, two cement contractors, three chiropodists, one cigar store, one coal dealer, two dentists, one drug store, one furniture repairer, two garages, five grocers, seven hair dressers, one hair manufacturer, four hotels, seven manicurists, one musical studio, four pressing parlorers, one printer, one publication, five real estate brokers, one rug factory, one second hand store, one sign painter, one storage house, one stove polish manufacturer, four tailors, one tinner, two transfer and storage, four undertakers, one vulcanizing plant, seven churches and two theaters. The new Dunbar theater opened Thanksgiving day. Mr. Jule Yoter is the house manager. News of the opening will appear in the next issue. The Rike-Kumbler boys will give a dance at the Memorial Hall, December 3; $1.50 per couple, including supper. In the last five years the Marco Baseball Club has been a paying proposition, but the last season had no grounds; could only play when other teams were not playing. Mathews, open your eyes and try to get grounds for the coming season. TRUE REFORMERS Still in search of unexplored fields, M. T. Bailey, State Deputy of Illinois, visited Racine, Wis., last Sunday, as the guest of Mr. Thomas Weaver, who has charge of the Somerset club, and who stands high among the people in that community, where he made several speeches in the interest of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers, and told the people of the success that the race had made through the medium of the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R. Before leaving the city, upon investigation, he found out among those people to whom he had spoken during the day, Mr. Logan Davis, who at the present time is employed in the federal government and is rated as one of the wealthiest colored men in that city, something beyond $15,000, and lives on Cottage avenue, and is said to be the only man of the race that lives on that street. Mr. Davis also spoke in high terms of the organization, having watched closely for the last three years the New York Age and the Chicago Defender. Many other people of the race own valuable property and are holding good positions. They highly indorsed the work and more than a dozen people gave their names to become members of the organization. Having spent a busy day in that city, and being anxious to visit other cities in the evening, he left the work in charge of Mr. A. H. Landers, the chief correspondent for the Chicago Defender. Later in the day he met and discussed important matters with Rev. H. E. Johnson, the Grand Worthy Chaplain of the Grand Fountain and Mr. William Franks, the messenger of Lake Forest Fountain of Lake Forest. Following this conference he held a conference with the Rosebud Mothers, including Mrs. Mary E. Johnson, Mrs. Cora Franks and Miss Melen Tives, the president of the Lake Forest Rosebud, relative to the Rosebud festival, which will be held at the First Baptist church on the 15th and 16th of December. A telegram was received Tuesday from Mrs. Lou Ella Young, president of the Rosebud department, announcing the death of her mother in Metropolis, Ill. No arrangements had been made at that time for the funeral. Singers are like loan sharks—alas taking notes. Nema of the Churches ST. LUKE M. E. CHURCH. 558 E. 35th St., Rev. Edw. R. Lewis, Pastor.

Foster, the president of the board, together with her loyal members, are to be congratulated upon this splendid financial effort, which realized over $50. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society held its last meeting with Mrs. M. J. Green, 4012 Dearborn street. The delicious fried chicken, served with all that goes with such a menu, received the highest commendation, and the society is waiting for the next invitation. The services at our church last Sunday were well attended. Both sermons were highly appreciated by those present and the following persons united with the church: Mrs. Hattie Butler, Mrs. Annie Mustoon and Miss Sallie McKay. The Trustees' Board is to be congratulated on the splendid new gas range, costing $60, placed in the church. Sunday is Woman's Day.

C., Nov. 28—The business league meeting Tuesday night was a monumental success. The Negro-balters hereabouts have ceased to worry about the colored around-the-corner neighbors of Mr. Justice Hughes of the supreme court. Mr. Neval H. Thomas is making some effective speeches before the ledges and clubs on the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Word comes that Mme. Anita Patti Brown, the celebrated prima donna, has reached Kingston, Jamaica, safely and is being royally entertained by the leading citizens there. Mme. Brown's singing is a revelation to the denizens of Britain's prosperous and appreciative sale. The by-laws of the new Home Club of the interior department, as reported to the club body last week, quitted the clause restricting membership to whites. A warm debate on the subject is expected when the constitution and by-laws come up for final adoption. "Practical Cookery and Household Management" was discussed recently at a meeting of the Home and School Association of the Cardozo Vocational School in the assembly hall of that institution. Miss Georgia A. Coleman, teacher of domestic science, was the principal speaker. Mrs. Talbott, daughter of the late General S. C. Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute, delivered an eloquent address last Sunday at the National Training School for Girls, of which Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs is president. A distinguished audience, many of whom went from the city to Lincoln Heights, heard the helpful suggestions presented by Mrs. Talbott. Bids have been asked for the construction of the new Ashbury M. E. church which is to be erected on the site of the present building at Eleventh and K streets Northwest. The new edifice is to cost about $75,600, and work will commence about March 1, according to plans laid out by the pastor, Rev. M. W. Clair, and the contractors. The church now in use by the Ashbury congregation was built in 1836 and is one of the oldest church structures in the district. Although the new normal school No. 2, beaten on Georgia avenue, near Howard University, will be completed by the first of the year, it may not be occupied by the pupils until the beginning of the next school year. The structure occupies a most commanding site on the brow of Howard hill and is canylis discernible down Seventh street as far as K Mount Vernon Park. It makes quite a difference in the sky line, leeching northward from the business section of Seventh street, and is being painted out as one of the "show places" of the nation's capital. Dr. Lucy E. Moten, one of the race's most noted educators, has been principal of normal school No. 2 for thirty years. At her suggestion the new building will probably be known as the "George F. T. Cook School." It is hinted that the true inwardness of the puerile fight put up by a cabal against the management of Harmony Cemetery is due to the fact that the "kickers" have in view the establishment of a new cemetery for colored people in the district. Some folks have an idea that nothing new can be started without first tearing down institutions already in existence. They cannot grasp the great thought that "competition is the life of trade," and that a new enterprise, if worthy of patronage, can succeed on its own merits. David L. Stewart, a well-known restaurant and undertaker, died a few days ago from the effects of gas poisoning, due to a defective pipe fixture. The funeral took place at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. A "Square-Toed" Decision Wanted. Will the United States Supreme Court utter a fair and square decision on the "grandfather clause" cases before it, or will it sidestep them on technicalities, as in days of yore, is the question that is most discussed in colored circles here just now. A square-toed decision, even if adverse to the Negroes' contention, seems to be preferred by the thoughtful ones rather than an evasion that adds to the confusion already existing as to the constitutional status of the black man in this country. The colored people are anxious to have the court hand down a decision that will decide something to the end that they may know just where they are "at." As one Washingtonian ferset up it a few days ago: "We want to know from the highest tribunal in the land whether or on the 14th and 15th amendments mean what their framers meant for them to mean." No Excuse for "Whipping Post" in Delaware. The strong article sent out to the nation by Col. W. D. Johnson, formerly editor of the Kentucky Standard, pointing out the barbarism and cruelty of the whipping post, as exemplified in the state of Delaware, is attracting serious attention in the highest official and legislative circles—as it should. Lashing the bare backs of offenders is a relic of the Dark Ages and is not calculated to improve the condition of society in this modern era. The civilized people of Delaware should rise up and wipe this infamous statute from its books, or Congress should find some way of reaching the evil through a federal law. Col. Johnson does well to add ```markdown ``` Robert Walling was just as thoroughly in love with pretty Amy Martin as ever a great, bashful, overgrown man was with a petite and saucy chunk of feminine loveliness, half his weight. He had tried to tell her about it many times, but, eloquent as he was in the courtroom or at business conferences, his tongue seemed to be absolutely tied when he attempted to explain the state of his mind to the fair Amy. Nor was it because the dainty little malden discouraged him. Not at all. To the contrary, she gave him every encouragement—even put forth those clever little feminine devices which open up inviting opportunities. But the months passed and Robert failed utterly to take advantage of his opportunities, and Amy stamped her pretty foot in despair and cried in humiliation: "If I were only a man," she exclaimed, viciously, "wouldn't I show them how to do it?" Amy knew he loved her with all the devotion of an eastern lacater. Then, why, oh, why, could he not say so and let her fall into his arms with deceancy and dispatch—and clear the whole situation up? Presently, however, her pride asserted itself and she began to be angry with him for his diffidence and his stupidity. Consequently, she treated Robert with positive savageness and encouraged the other admirers to a degree that drove Walling to the last depths of despair. Matters were at this status when Walling's old college chum, Barclay, dropped in on him for a few days' visit to renew old relationships. Now, Barclay was quite a man of the world in his way—as a pushing, successful stock broker must need be, and after 24 hours' stop under the roof of his luckless friend, he caught the full significance of the situation. He had been a guest of Walling's for something like a week and was beginning to chafe openly at the restraint and to pine for the rour of the stock exchange, when a strange thing happened to Robert Walling. It was a Tuesday evening and the two were dressing for dinner, when a servant brought Walling in the mail. Walling sorted it mechanically. Of a sadden he gave a gasp and dropping all the rest fell upon one little dainty, lilac-secured envelope and tore it open with feverish haste. Barclay selected a clean collar with great deliberation, and proceeded to button it to his shirt. "Great heavens, Barclay look at this—what does it mean?" "What is it?" inquired Barclay, mildly, proceeding to tie a new and elaborate four-in-hand with exquisite care. "Listen," replied Walling, tragically, and he proceeded to read the following epistle: Decarest Bob: I think it would have been much nicer if you had said all those nice things to me personally in the hammock or on the veranda, but mansuch as you are a great goose, I will overlook it. Of course, I love you and have for ever and ever so long. I think you are a little precipitate in naming the wedding day—and especially at so early a date. Perhaps I will make you wait a bit, as you certainly deserve to. Surely, I will be home tonight—and we will arrange things—but to suit me, sir, as you shall hear. Lovingly. AMY. "Fine, fine!" exclaimed Barclay, dropping the clothes brush with which he was completing his toilet. "Permit me to congratulate you, old man. She's a deuced fine girl. And I'm to be best man, I know." He extended his hand, which Walling grasped mechanically. "But," exposulated Walling, "what is it all about? I never wrote her a proposal." Barclay extended his hand. "Rob," he said, "I wrote it myself. I'm something of an expert in chirography, you know. Forgive me, old man, but I saw you never would—and you wouldn't do anything else until you got this particular girl. The end justifies the means, my boy—according to my philosophy." For answer, Walling squeezed Barclay's hand until he writhed. Accounting for the Vote An ambitious man rather unwisely stood as candidate at one of the local elections, and at the close of the poll was found to have received only one vote. The candidate was excessively mortified, and, to increase his chargin, his neighbors talked as if it were a matter of course that he had given that one vote himself. This annoyed him so much that he offered a fifty dollar suit of clothes to his only supporter if the individual would come forward and show himself. An Irishman responded to this appeal, proved his claim, and called for the reward. "How did it happen?" inquired the candidate, taken quite by surprise. "How did it happen that you voted for me?" Pat hesitated; but on being pressed, he answered: "If I tell you, you won't go, back on the suit of clothes?" "Oh, no; I promise you shall have the suit anyhow." "Well, then, your honor," replied Pat, "sure I made a mistake in the ballot paper."

There is absolutely no excuse for a whipping post in Delaware—or anywhere else in progressive America. Negroes to Try for Postmasterships. It is said that a bunch of Negro postmasters may grow out of the new system of appointing these officials through a competitive civil service examination, in which the best man is supposed to win the plum, regardless of race, color, creed or politics. The leaders are advising educated colored men, North and South, to enter the examinations and take their chances with all other citizens. If the principle of the "survival of the fittest" is lived up to, there is no doubt that some Negroes will be able to "get by." Mr. Joseph H. B. Evans, son of Dr. Bruce Evans, in seriously ill in St. Louis, where he has been teaching this year. It is thought that the trouble arises from overwork, due to an ambition to excel. Complete rest for a considerable period has been advised by his physician. Mr. Evans is an honor graduate from a leading technical school at Pittsburgh, and is a brilliant young man. Mr. Oliver Randolph, a capable attache of the post office department, has been transferred to Newark, N. J., through changes made in the method of handling the dead letter division. Mr. Randolph was formerly editor of the Washington American, which was forced out of business some months ago by the underhand operations of a bunch of local "Black-Handers." Mr. Randolph has the best wishes of a host of Washington admirers. Editor A. E. B. Manning of the Indianapolis World, is in the city for a few days on business connected with the Democratic National Committee, of which he is the official "courier." Political lightning in the shape of a luscious federal plum is said to be hovering over the devoted head of the popular Hoover. The Howard University Dramatic Club is rehearsing "Richelieu," which is to be the school's annual presentation this season. The cast is said to be an unusually talented one. Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Howard University, is in great demand as a lecturer. He is the university's most effective advertiser. Rev. I. Tolliver, the widely known Texas evangelist, is dead. His funeral was preached by Irev. M. W. D. Norman last Saturday at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Dr. Tolliver was once pastor of the Liberty Baptist Church, and his family, a wife and daughter, resided here while the evangelist was on the road. The mourners at the funeral, at Dr. Tolliver's request, wore pure white. Columbia Lodge No. $5 and Morning Star Lodge No. 40 of the Improved Order of Elks of the World will hold joint memorial services on Sunday evening, December 7, at the Howard Theater. Many colored depositors were on the books of the United States Trust Company, which got into financial difficulties last week. Rescue was effected by the merging of the assets into the Munsey Trust Company, and without closing its doors the United States Trust Company weathered the storm and its patrons were paid every cent they asked for. The United States Treasury placed one million dollars of relief funds at the disposal of the Munsey Trust Company to guarantee absolute safety. The flurry is now over and most of the depositors will remain with the reorganized Munsey corporation. Secretary of State Bryan will receive on New Year's Day. The usual reception at the White House on that day will not be held, the President taking a much-needed rest. Miss Cassie Davidge, Washington's favorite mandolinist, will appear in Harrisburg, Pa., on the 25th, supported by Miss Rose Cecile Hershaw, accompanist, and a host of local dramatic and musical talent of Harrisburg. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 28.—Jack Blackburn has the credit of boxing his way out of the penitentiary, where he has been serving a term for slaying an admirer of his wife. He was considered the greatest fighter in this section, and while in the "pen" his habits were good and the pardon board gave him a parole, which was acted upon favorably and he will be allowed to go to Australia to begin life anew. Warden McKenty, who has taken great interest in the fighter, said he was the most model prisoner there, and taught his sons how to fight, and his made them the best auateurs hereabouts. From Ben.

More than two thousand people, representing the City and State Federations of Colored Women's Clubs, met at Bethel A. M. E. Church, 30th and Dearborn streets, last Monday morning, to pay the last tribute of respect to Mrs. Ida D. Lewis, president of the State Federation and the West Side Women's Club, one of the founders of the City Federation and the founder of the Home for Dependent Girls on the West Side, who died on the 18th at St. Anne's Hospital and whose body had remained at the home which she had founded until it was followed to Bethel Church by more than ten large automobiles crowded with mourners and other friends, bowed down with sadness. When the Defender reporter arrived at the church he found every available space had been taken up by the people, who had been gathering since eight o'clock, with the exception of the space that had been reserved for mourners and societies. In this audience was Mrs. Charles Honrotin and Mrs. William R. Linn, members of the board of the Park Ridge School for girls. Among those who took an active part in the ceremony was Rev. T. A. Smythe, the pastor of Bethel Church, who preached the sermon. Eulogies were delivered over the body by the Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. S. L. M. Francis, of the Provident Baptist Church, Rev. J. H. Woods of the A. M. E. Church of Chicago Heights, Rev. H. E. Stewart of the Ebenezer A. M. E. Church of Evanton, who read the obituary, and Rev. H. W. Knight of the Oak Park Baptist Church. CARD OF THANKS.

Muskogee, Okla., Nov. 28.—White men of good families, but who are low and immoral, were arrested this week by the police in a house known as Frisco Alley. The house was "pulled" and sent to jail, but on finding the men to be "of prominence" were turned loose and the women remanded to jail. This is the way justice is dealt out in Oklahoma. White men practice their immorality upon women of the race, turned away; women sent to jail. Then the statistics come out that a larger per cent of colored are criminals.

"They certainly have queer teachers in the schools nowadays," she confided to the woman in grape color. "Your Evangeline is in the same class with my Frederick, isn't she? Well, what do you do if that Miss Etterick they have to teach them?" "I-I don't know," confessed the woman in grape color. "I've been so busy using the house cleaned and doing the other fall work that I haven't had time to visit the school." "Then you'd better!" solemnly declared the woman in hellotrope. "My dear, some one ought to do something! Why, when I think of Frederick in that Miss Etterick's charge all year, and with his sensitive nature, I am terribly upset! Do you know what that woman did? Wrote me a note saying that Frederick was not doing well in his arithmetic. She said he evidently needed to put more work on it! "Well, after the receipt of that note I went to the school just as fast as I could! "Miss Etterick, I said to her, I don't suppose you realize that when you criticise Frederick you are crushing all the life and spirit out of him. He is not like other boys, I said. 'He needs encouragement and help and interest, and I am sure he works very hard!' "She sort of sighed and looked at me in a cold way. You could see she was not trying in the least to make herself agreeable. 'Help! Interest!' She repeated the words. "And then she declared that she devoted twice as much time to Frederick as to any other boy in the class and that she was perfectly discouraged at his lack of interest. She said he knew nothing at all that day about his lesson. "I explained to her that Frederick had had no time to stu had no time to study, previous evening because I had taken him to a children's party—and she had the馁terry to say that children shouldn't go to parties on school nights! That was too ridiculous, for the party was at the Bertons. I told her so—and she said stolled: "What of it? The Bertons! Why, I know women who'd give their eye teeth to get their children noticed by the Bertons!" "Oh, I think we can live without the Bertons!" Declared the woman. "I'm sorry you take it so hard," said the woman in helotrope. "But we were speaking about Miss Etterick. I told her that Frederick was nervous and sensitive and that I was not going to have him ruin his constitution studying and become a nervous wreck. I pointed out to her that what she "I Hope You'll Get Them." was being paid for was to get children through her grade without bothering the parents, who have many cares and responsibilities. "If you were a capable teacher, Miss Eutierk, I said, 'instead of complaining about poor little Frederick and making his life miserable with your nagging you would know what to do to push him ahead! I am sure that's what a tether ought to do." "Really, my dear, I thought for a minute that awful woman was going to be insufferably insolent. She said something about its not being her duty to furnish brains for her pupils, but I ignored it. She is utterly impossible. "I shall expect,' I told her, firmly, 'good reports from Frederick from now on!' "I am sure, she said, 'I hope you'll get them! But if you want good reports from him you must make him study!' "Miss Eiterick, I replied, 'I am endeavoring to bring up my son in a way that will encourage him to do things without being made! I would not insult his intelligence by ordering him to do anything! "With your heartless ideas about children, I told her, 'I wonder how you manage to hold your position. If Frederick falls to pass to the next grade at the end of the year I shall know the reason! It will be because he was worked to death by you and his nerves shattered!" "Then I walked away and left her speeckless. I think it was a shock to her to see her real self so accurately described. My dear, I advise you to go and see what women is doing to Evangeline before it is too late! The idea of her trying to make my Frederick study against his will when Frederick is so sensitive!"—Chicago Daily News. She Gave It Away.

The allpowerful railroads are going to stand this nonsense until it ‘becomes unbearable, and then they are going to rise up in their might and power and rebel, the state laws not- withstanding. Those in power in many instances are only puppets of the com- panies and must do their bidding. Doubtless the people of the South are so much more select than the people of the North that they couldn't think ‘of the dea of rubbing elbows with a colored person. It is strange how they can ever condescend to pay us a visit, ‘but a contemptible coward | knows ‘enough to keep his mouth shut when he ts in Ue enemy's country and away from his own gang. There is but one way to convince some people that they are in error, and this same method has been used from time im: memorial. There is an awakening among the liberty-loving people that bodes ne good for the arrogant, pregu: aieed understudies of Blease and Vardaman, and it might be a wise move to get inside before it rains, ‘THE POWER OF WOMEN. | And now the suffragettes are hav- ing thelr troubles in the Southland. In this great movement it has been understood that there was to be no color line; that all wonen should be on an equal footing. But they must havo evidently forgotten that there would be many below the Mason and Dixon line who would seriously object to rubbing etbows at the ballot boxes with their sisters of darker hue. Grandfather clauses could be resorted to, but there are thousands of women who could meet te educational quali fications; so some other absurd suv. terfuge would have to be resorted to to meet the emergency. Dut such ac. tions as they might take would result in a great deal of perturbation in the social order of things there. While jaiving all women sulfrage is not ob. Jectionable, to a great degree they have always enjoyed it. In other words, they have always been the poWer behind the throne. Since time mmemorial women have exerted a wonderful influence over men, and today more than ever; so while they ao not actually cast the ballot and en- ter into the thousand and ono duties a man performs, yet their hand is seen everywhere, their wishes are ever con- sidered; and becanse of this more geu- tle ruling far behind has been Jett all forms of despotism; right is taking the place of might. “The woman does not need to leave her home to rule the nation. WASHINGTON'S HOUSING CONDI- aka The authorities at Washington have finally awakened to the fact that right under their noses they have the worst housing conditions of any elty in the country. Something like 16,000 people live in the alleys of the cap. ital city, and many of them in the most iusanitary way. Now they pro ose to drive them ont of these dis- ease-breeding places, out into the light and sunshine, Just where they are to go seems to be uncertain, but all stick places are supposed to be vacat- ed at the expiration of ten years— one-tenth leaving each year. This or- der, of course, will affect the colored more than the white; but the seeming hardship will in the end prove a bless Ing, To look at the broad, clean streets and the palatial residences that line them one would never think the same alleys to those lots had tum: Uledown shacks on them in which live the less fortunate ones. So it can be readily seon the peril of permitting such unsanitary living to both races, and to the rich and poor alike, Chi: cago has some problems of its own to deal with, but fortunately we have very few who live in our alleys, And there is a constant crusade by the health department and other organiza. tions to wipe out this evil. Washing. ton Is a little slow about the housing proposition, as it is about many other matters, but {t finally gets around to it, for which we are duly thankful, especially since it affects our people more directly. PRESIDENT WILSON’S SILENCE. If President Wilson hasn't entirely lost his power of speech, ten million people, and a few others would like him to rise and say something perti- nent to the color question. Letters of protest from men and women in all walks of life have been pouring in on him up to the present writing to no avail. An extract from the letter of protest sent by the N. A. A. ©, P. will express the tenor of most of the others: “Wherever there aro men ‘who rob the Negroes of their votes; who exploit and degrade and insult and lynch those whom they call thelr inferlors, there this mistaken action of the federal government will be cited as the, warrant for new racial outrages ‘that ery out to heaven for redréss. Who shall say where discriminations once begun shall cease? Who can deny ‘that every act of discrimination the world over breeds fresh injustice?” ‘President Wilson is an honorable man and just; we belleve he intends to do ‘the right thing aj he sees it. The only fear is that he has let that Southern element etther rui) things or influence ‘him, which is haf to determine, ¥ the hundreds of letters reach him— of which there 1s grave doubt—they cannot fall to Impress him, nor can they be consistently evaded, It has gone beyond the color question. It fs a question of humanity, a question that concerns vitally ‘every maa, woman and child in this big, broad land of ours, And that is why from ‘the press, the pulpit and from the rot trum come vigorous protests against ‘the present seeming polley ot segrega. ‘tion. And what is more, the presi dent has been appealed to by fair ‘minded Democratic leaders who have been in sympathy with the colored people, and they have not tailed to remind him that a large part of his plurality last year was given him by these same colored people. Possimls: tle feeling is widespread, and it 1s not to be wondered at when the govern- ment for the first time in a generation or more is attempting to curtail the freedom of opportunity of an entire race of people because of their color. Again we say It is time for President Wilson to take the floor. BUAL LAWs. , What's good for the goose should be good for the gander, is the phil- osophy of Curl Oliver, sentenced to b» hanged for killing a’ white man who had been paying attentions to his wife. His attorney has appealed to the supreme court to set aside the death sentence imposed upon him on the grounds that he shot in selfde fense. It has been the custom to do this where white men have been con cerned, and Oliver claims he should be entitled to the same rights in defend ing his home as a white man would have under the circumstances, What he should have and what he doubt less will get are two different things— as different as the justice dealt out to a white and a colored prisoner. Tut iL Isn't only Jn the courts we find this slate of tings; for in our churches, where if in any place on earth we could be expected to find good will toward jmen. is the unwritten Iaw no colored ‘need apply. In the fullness of their heart they will toss us a few pennies, with the request that we go off any where out of their sight and establish houses of worship where we ean com mune with our own particular deity. ‘In their prejudiced minds they cannot ‘conceive of worshipping the same God the black man does, and this is the re ligion ot today ae practiced in mans of our churches. Nor is this parody on religion confined to any one de- nomination. It is universal. True the ‘church-goers have a conscience, but it is quieted when they have contrib- uted their mite to the foretgn mission ‘fund to educate the heathens in some outlandish island, while about their Aoorstep people are crying for food and clothing, and some—yes, ten mall lion—are crying for simple justice. So with the pillars of the church an¢ the makers of the laws, either against 1us of Indifferent, our chances are about fas good as what the little boy shot al '—nothing, Whether Carl Oliver de- serves the sentence imposed upon him jor whether he does not is another question. We do know, however, that te deserves no more nor no less’ tha the white man in his same circum. stances. We do not uphold criminals of any sort, but we are glad for the Sake of precedent to have this matte threshed out in court, that we may know what in the future to expect.

According to naturalists, no animal Is known to have exceeded the speed attained by the famous racehorse Sysonby. Instantaneous photographs show the full length of one complete stride as‘about twenty-six feet. In the stride of the fastest racers the hind- quarters and limbs are ralsed consid: erably higher than the shoulders, and from thls relatively grost height brought downward and forward, wide- ly separated from each other, as a sportsman says, “to avoid striking the fore legs.” The hare which is hunted with fast hounds has not In reality the speed of the dog. The dog, on the other hand, does not attain the speed of the horse, The giraffe is said to run at the rate of fifteen meters (yards) per second under the most favorable conditions.

Alcoholic Sentiment, ‘The singing souse is a nuisance, but ‘he has it all over the jag who weeps all over the bar when he realizes how much he loves his Dear Old Mother~ Cincinnati Bnquirer, SAILOR VICTIM QF SHARK Reminiscence of Member of Crew of the Kearsarge More Than Fifty Years Aqc. In the summer of 1802 I was serv- Ing on board the U. S. 8. Kearsargs and we were at Algeciras, Spain, hear Gibraltar, where the Confederate steamer Sumter lay under the guns of the fortress. It was our mission to watch the Sumter night and day to prevent her from getting out on the high sea. ‘One hot Sunday afternoon all our boats but one were ashore with a goodly number of officers aud men, who had gone ashore to witness a bull fight. Suortly after they had left the ship the quartermaster, Charles Butts, eee thought might be a sunfish or shark lazily disporting itself in the waters near the ship, Suddenly the old whal- ing instinet came to him and he got permission to take our only remain- ing cutter with & volunteer crew and shark Srons, and they were soon away from the ship in pursuit of the big fish. About this time some of the men wished to take a plunge in the sea, and after getting permission from Deck Officer Danforth, the port swing. Ing boom was lowered away and some twenty’ men jumped overboard. One of the first men to jump into the sea Was Jacob Barth of East Boston., An expert swimmer and diver, he jumped into the sea ‘from tho starboard cat- head, making a great splash and com- motion In the water. ‘The boat was now several hundred yards rom the ahip. Suddenly’ a great cry of “A shark!" went up from the men in the water, and they alt struggled as hard as they could to get to the boom, One hoor fellow, ‘Tibbetts. a Maine boy, was pursued and caught by the fish and carried out of sight toward the bottom. The water there is very elear and one ean see down to 2 Breat depth, but not to the bottom. 1 shoul say ‘the fish was sixteen feet Jong, of a biuish tint. I saw him selze the man, and to do so he must have bitten him. The man's white body Tanged alongside of the dark body of the fish going toward the bottom at an angle of about forty-five degrees, striking with his fist, and when last Seen was perhaps thirty or forty feet from the surface, a sight one will not soon forget. Tho men and officers of the Kearsarge considered this big fish to be a man-eating shark, and s0 aid the natives of that locality.—Let- ter to the New York Sun. : Barnstorming Days, Harry Linder has been preaching in anton, “Arthur Movekion me 8 oer plice, has been leading a choir.

Not Question, a QUESTION. — A subscriber writes: “Dear Doctor: Will you kindly state through the De- fender in your editorial the cause and cure of venereal warts, and very much oblige a sufferer?" Reply.—Yenereal warts occur on the genital organs and are due to Yenereal (or dirty) infection. There are several Kinds of venereal warts, ‘The most common type are flat secret ing or moist warts; and there are the hard, dry warts. ‘These warts occu on the glans, in the furrow inthe back of the gluns and on the inner surface of prepuce. ‘Treatment of the warts depends on the character or kind of venercal Warts, ‘The mofst and secreting ean be treated by dry powder caustic acti treatment; some are removed by the scissors and cauterized afterward. In some cases it is necessary to have a circumeision performed. 1 would ad vise “A Subseriber” to consult and take treatment of a good physician. All venereal aifeetions are serious in nature, Wherever vaccination is enforeed smallpox is an unknown terror. Sanitary education is more impor- tant than sanitary legislation. ‘The health of a community means the combined health of those who live Jn it. No member of a community can afford to be indifferent or careless about matters that affect his own oF Ms neighbor's health, for the reason that community health and comfort are based upon the health of its indi- viduals, ‘The fourth national tuberculosis day will be observed this year on Sunday, December 7. Sermons will be preached from thousands of pulpits all over the Jand, and collections taken to aid in the natfon-wide movement to eradicate this disease trom the long list of mal adies that annually destroy thousands of human tives. For the ten months ending October 81 of this year the sanitary bureau of | the department of health has received and handled 19,605. complaints, on which 12,592 notices have been served ordering the abatement and remedy- ing of the matters concerning which the complaints were made. During the same period 12,785 building plans Were examined and approved; and of these 10,713 were for new buildings and 2072 were for old buildings re- modeled. Inspections were made of 1,919 bakeries, new and old, and 920 notices served to correct violations of and noncompliance with the hakéry regulations, Doctor John W, Trask, assistant surgeon general of the public health service, in a recent {ssue of the pub- lie health reports gives the following excellent definition of a department of health, He says: “The health de- partment is a department created and supported by the people to look after the community's health, to protect them and their neighbors from unnec- essary exposure to sickness. ‘The ‘health department ts your department, doing the things for you that you can- jnot do for yourself, and, being the ereature of the community—the com- rmunity’s servant, as it” wete—the health department will be as efficient and watchful as the people insist that it shall be or allow it to be. It cannot be more so." | Then the doctor adds this fine com- ment as to what a department of health |Toally stands fon, He says: “The health department and its works repre- ‘Sent the desire of the people to avoid disease; to live useful, wholesome lives; to protect themselves, their chil- dren and their families. They repre- sent not only the selfinterest of the individuals, but their altruism as well. ‘They represent one of the finest prod- ucts of our civilization—the realiza- tlon that health is the right of every man, and that the preservation of ‘one’s own health and that of his neigh- bor is a moral duty. ‘The health de- partment is the result of our knowl edge that disease ean be prevented, and that the degree of the community's health depends upon the desire of the citizens to have health, thelr intelli- gence and the amount of effort they are willing to make individually and through their municipal or other gov- ernment to attain it” Kit Carson, Boye’ Hero, A notable boys’ hero of the last gen- eratlon not entirely forgotten yet was Christopher Carson, popularly known ‘as Kit Carson, who was born in Ken- tucky, December 24, 1809, removed to Missouri while a child and became a famous hunter, trapper, scout and In- dian fighter. ‘Col, Joha C.

The first ladies' prize was won by Mrs. Genevieve Coleman; second prize, Mrs. Arthur Anderson; third, Mrs. Nancy Jordan; first gentleman's prize, Mr. Harry Anderson; second, Mr. Arthur Anderson; third, Mr. McWalton. Mrs. Eva Ellis will entertain next Tuesday evening. PEERLESS CLUB. The Peerless Club held a special meeting Saturday, Nov. 22, at the residence of Mr. George Ganaway, 3813 Lafayette avenue. Mr. John Trust, one of the members who has been absent from the city for some time, was present at the meeting but returned THE CHICAGO DEFENDER to New York Sunday morning. Mr. Trust hopes to return before the club gives its formal affair. For news concerning the Peerless Club, read. The Chicago Defender. UNIVERSITY CLUB. The University Club met last Sunday at their club rooms. Miss Bettola Fortson presided. Miss Fortson and Mr. Baiks will represent the club in the annual literary at Quinn Chapel Dec. 14. "BELIEVE ME." In slang as in dress, fashion constantly strives to achieve the utterly inane. Impartial observers cheerfully concede the attainment of a considerable degree of success in that direction. Nobody knows when a new individual of slang arrives. "in our midst." If they came with warning and notice, the great majority of them would be shooed off like a smallpox patient, by the common sense of the majority. But they come insidiously and before we know they are here they are intrenched, says the New Haven Register. So came—when or how no one can say—one of the latest and the silliest—"believe me." The thing is not striking and in itself is not new. Some have not recognized it as slang. But closely observed in its present usage it plainly is meant for that. The user of it interjects into mediocre conversation, props up statements which have only a nominal force with the pliffle, pointless appeal to "bolieve me." It 'seems to imply that the speaker knows he is lying and wishes to forestall incredulity, but it really doesn't mean that. In fact, it doesn't mean anything except that another footless imitator has caught at another straw borne on the wind of senseless custom, and saddled it on the speech of the day. An the multitude of sheep are tumbling over themselves to follow the form, tickled half to death in the notion that they are achieving the latest thing in language up to the minute. The German word "Kur" does not mean "cure," although it is not an uncommon thing to find it so translated into English. "To cure" in English means "to restore to health; to effect a cure; but in other languages it means merely to apply a method of remedial treatment of disease; medical or hygienic care; method of medical treatment." The German word for "restoration to health" is "Hellung," not "Kur." The Latin word "cura" means merely "care," a shade of meaning which is preserved in the derived term "curator." An Italian physician was recently made to say, when his article was translated into English, "I cured ten typhoid patients last month and six of them died." What he really said was that he had treated ten patients. Old time Germans ate some strange dishie. Thus, for instance, the courtier chronicle of Charles V.: "I will tell no lie," declared Don Anthony, of Guevara. "I saw such kinds of meat eaten as a roasted horse, a cat in jelly, little lizards in hot broth, frogs fried and divers sorts of meats, which I never knew what they were till they were eaten. And, for God's sake, what is he that shall read my writing and see what is commonly eaten at feasts that it will not in a manner break his heart." An educator has died in Philadelphia who for seventy-one years was a teacher. That he was a good teacher, his length of service testifies past dispute. The continuing value of a life so spent in influencing others for food is calculable in its benefits to humanity, and this one holds a record which few will surpass in times to come. The time when the vacuum cleaner will be used on trains to get the dust out of the traveler's clothes seems to be near at hand. Like its predecessor, the whisk broom, the machine will not be considered a success by the porter who operates it unless it gets a piece of change out of the traveler's pocket. A New Orleans physclan announces that he has discovered a simple alkaline solution which is a permanent cure for pellagrn. If he makes good his claim his name will have a high place on the roll of fame. An argument against dancing promoted by a "moralist," is that some persons seem to swell, especially on objectionable part of it. That makes it plain that the remedy is to exclude the objectionable parts. The people of Mars have been doing more signaling to us, according to one astronomical expert. They may be trying to arrange for an airplane route between the two planets at space rates. Science, according to Dean Bemey, is to help Christianize the world. That is all right, if the people do not get the notion of waiting for science to denature sin. An enquirer wants to know what girls who wear watches on their wrists do when it is time to wash the dishes. They don't do anything. The woman who lost a husband and gained a dimple in an automobile accident has something to remember it by. Some people look upon engeneic marriages as a joke. No marriage is a joke, some think. Proof That the Wearing of Furs and Velvet Hat Do Not Make for Happiness—Lesson That Jennie Took to Heart. The Commuters' Crochet club, which assembled every morning in facing seats on the 7:55, had become a familiar sight to their fellow-commers, who seldom paid much attention to them and didn't even know that Sadie's bed-spread was one-third done, or that Mary had given up in despair and returned to the less arduous task of making wash-rags, relates the New York Post. But if the other commuters had forgotten the crocheters, the latter were still very much interested in their fellow-passengers and had worked out an elaborate scheme of relationships and probable characteristics to fit each one. There was the stout old gentleman with the gold-headed cane who, they were sure, was a banker, with a fair young daughter at home, who was to wed the tall dark young man who sat with her father every morning. There was the thin, tall, angular woman, with eye-glasses, who was the principal of a school. The commuters wished that the intellectual looking man with iron-gray hair who sat in back of her would fall in love with the principal, who looked as if she needed a change from schoolroom atmosphere, but as yet there seemed to be no imminent danger. On this particular morning, as soon as they had drawn out their needles and set to work, Maude noticed a new face among the passengers. "Look at that girl with the black furs and velvet hat," she whispered. "Hasn't she the nicest face?" Four pairs of eyes were directed toward the girl in question. "She isn't only pretty, she has a beautiful face, I think," said Sadle. "And I can tell you why it's beautiful, too. It's because she's happy. I've been thinking a lot about that laterly, and looking at people, and I've decided that if a person is very happy she is apt to be good-looking. If every one would try a little harder to be cheerful, the human race would get handsome." "Oh, you make me happy," said Jennie. "People can't be happy all the time, and I'm just sick of having people keep talking about it. What have I got to make me so everlastingly happy, I'd like to know? Of course I am perfectly well, and I have enough to eat and wear, but I work all day long and am dead tired every night, and I don't see why I should be so awfully happy. It's different with that girl over there with the furs and a velvet hat. You can see by looking at her that she doesn't have to dip chocolates all day long, like I do. She ought to be happy." The train stopped and the girls put away their work and started out into the aisle. "Oh, look," whispered Mande, and the others, turning, saw the girl in velvet and furs draw a crutch from under her seat and limp out into the aisle. Her face had grown white and drawn with the pain of walking, and her breath came in short ramps. It was Jennie that helped the girl off the train, and walked along with her, before joining the crocheters again on the ferry. Then she stood and kicked the side of the boat before speaking. "She goes in to sing to crippled children," she finally blurted out. "She can never be any better. Her nurse dropped her when she was a baby. She told me she was 'very happy' because the crippled children always looked forward to seeing her. She makes me feel pretty small." And with a last embarrassed kick at the side of the boat, Jennie set out to dip chocolates. The Wallace Collection The Wallace collection bequeathed to the British nation by Amelie, widow of Sir Richard Wallace, in 1897, was, according to the connolseur, J. F. Blaeker, who writes about it in London Opinion, then valued at from £6,000,000 to £7,000,000, that is in American money from $30,000,000 to $35,000,000. When Sir Richard had come to own the finest collection of paintings in London he added largely to it, and also came to have the greatest collection of arms and armor in Europe. These treasures are now held to be worth several times their estimated value at the time of the bequest, and Mr. Blaeker puts upon them the stupendous valuation of £50,000,000, that is $250,000,000. This collection is on view free every day except Tuesday and Friday, when exposition is charged. Recently the great galleries of Sovres china have been closed for fear of the militant suffragettes and their propensity to smash things. Care of Tired Eyes How many women really give their eyes a bona fide bath? By that I do not mean the usual attention bestowed upon the eyes every morning in washing the face, but an eye bath proper, where the flesh surrounding the eyeballs is washed out properly. Have you noticed how brilliant and clear looking the eyes are after tear sacks have been in operation for a few minutes? While I do not encourage crying, for weeping is very injurious to the eyes and blears them, an occasional tear shower without affecting the emotions, as when inhaling ammonia or pairing the humble onion, will do them no harm—Exchange. Plan to Stop Truancy The school authorities in the department of the Aube, France, have decided to put astop to truant playing. All children over six and under thirteen found loitering about the highways and hedgeways during school hours, and unable to furnish a satisfactory reason for so doing, shall be hailed before the police commissary, who will severely reprimand them and send them back to school.

Notary Street, - CHIC\GO UNDER AT AI CHICAGO MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC "All Passes, Art Alone Endures" JOTTINGS, THEATRICAL AND OTHERWISE. Special matinees and big crowds was the order for Thanksgiving week at the Grand. The popularity of the house seems to be on the increase in spite of the fact that now places of amusement are springing up every now and then. Kumry, Boesch and Robbison opened the bill with a little dash of nonsense entitled "Fun in a Music Store." If it was intended to be funny they should have told the audience so, as it appeared to most of them very sad. One would naturally expect to hear good singers demonstrating songs, but this was an exception to the rule. Madison and Nase modestly call their stunt "400 pounds of harmony." The 400 is the only part that we can subscribe to. A nifty playlet entitled "The Little Doctor," in which Kelly and Sheehan appeared, appealed to the audience, who were generous with their applause. If there is anything in a name, the four Cook sisters would doubtless make a bigger hit in the culinary line than as singers. The entertainment closed with a daredevil cycle act that was a real novelty, and Bud Snyder and his company held the crowd spellbound with many of his feats. The bill for the last half of the week more than made up for any deficiency in the first half. It is a hard matter to please everybody, but the Grand comes mighty near doing it. The States. There is no theater in the city that can boast of having a more comfortable, well-ventilated, roomy auditorium than this pretty little playhouse, and here, too, are to be found the newest and best pictures to be found in the market, projected in a manner that causes no grit on the eyes. Shaw and Everett, Becker P. Adams, and Joe Jordan and his famous orchestra were the features that filled this house to overflowing each night. The Danabegay. As usual, Oakland Music Hall was packed to overflowing Wednesday night, when the thirteenth edition of Frank P. George's "The Black Belasco." Dunabegay was presented. Society was out in full force because it was strictly a society affair. The program was unique, inasmuch as every number was a surprise and, we might add, delight. Mme. Annetta Herro White is a newcomer and therefore did not do herself justice, her voice being better suited for a parlor than a hall. Miss Rena A. Blunt sang acceptably and received generous applause. Messrs. Hugh Buchanan and Opa Cooper need no introduction to a Chicago audience. They were in good voice and made a decided hit. George Jones as a pianist is destined to be heard from favorably in the near future. He is an excellent accompanist and his solo work was far above the average. Joe Sheocraft, Frank P.'s old side partner, slipped one over on his pal by giving the audience an act not on the bill. The great opera had nothing on the Dunabegay, because George Hall and Marie Burton-Hyrum were on the bill. The splendid acting of Mr. Frank P. George in his own creation, "Milk and Bread," reminded one forcibly of the greatest actor, the late Richard Mansfield. The vast audience was moved from smiles to tears and from tears to smiles in the twinkling of an eye. It has been said that Mr. George is the greatest exponent of tragedies the race has produced and, judging by the overwhelming applause he received, it is true. Great credit is due Mr. Sam Fielding, manager in advance, and Mr. Wm. J. Kelly, manager of interior, for their uniting efforts to make the affair a success. The ushers were the creme de la creme of girlhood society. Garfield Wilson's orchestra furnished the music for the dance program and it was Thanksgiving morn when the strains of "Home, Sweet Home," reminded them that once more the Dunabegay had come and gone.

He will gladly arrange for church, parlor or hall entertainments. He is located at 3828 Dearborn street. —29 WEDDING WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT. Miss Lueniza Thomas, a graduate of Provident Hospital and formerly night supervisor, was married Sept. 29 at Geneva, Ill., by Rev. Cantwell, to Dr. Charles Cooper, 3344 South State street. The newlyweds are now domiciled at 7228 Wentworth avenue. The Defender wishes them success. MR. AND MRS. GEO. GOOD Entertain Sixty Friends at Wedding Reception. One of the most unique affairs of the season was the wedding reception of Mr. and Mrs. George P. Goode, formerly Miss Hattie Hadnot, which took place Nov. 18 at 3229 Vernon avenue. More than 60 friends gathered to extend their best wishes for a long and happy life. The house was decorated in cut flowers, palms and vines. Music by Prof. Garfield Wilson. In the receiving party were Mrs. Samuel White, Mrs. Susie Bason, Mrs. Mabel Ferguson, and Mrs. Anna Danville, Mrs. Virgil Pumphery at the punch bowl. Mr. Samuel white, master of ceremonies. Many beautiful as well as useful gifts were received. The guests were served by one of the leading caterers of the city. Mr. and Mrs. Good are at home to, their friends, 3229 Vernon avenue. ONE FATAL FLAW IN PLAN Professor's Carefully Thought Out Scheme Worked Well, With Just That Little Exception. He was a dear old professor, very learned and very absent-minded. And the latter trait of his was constantly getting him into hot water. This did not worry him so much as the one fact that he could never find his clothes in the morning on getting up, having completely forgotten where he had laid them. One memorable day, however, a brilliant inspiration came to him. He would devise a clothes plan. He did, and it ran something like this: "Coat on third peg, left-hand corner of room; waistcoat and trousers on chair by bed, collar on door handle, tie through key of door, vest on floor by window, cuffs on bedstead knobs, shirt on portmanteau, socks on gas bracket, boots outside door, professor in bed." This worked splendidly, and next morning the dear old thing collected his wardrobe with lightning rapidity, until he came to the last item on his list. He rushed to the bed, but it was empty. Running his hand through his scanty gray locks, he exclaimed, in deep despair: "There! Now the professor is lost, I'm much afraid, after all, this plan is no good!" SETTLED STATUS OF POET Douglas Jerrold's Verdict Will Be Indorsed by Many Who Have Tried to Read Browning. The writings of Robert Browning, which are in great favor among an aesthetic few but continue to be caviar to the general public, probably received their keenest criticism from Douglas Jerrold half a century ago. Jerrold was recovering from a violent illness when a copy of Browning's "Sordelle" fell into the hands of the convalescent. He began to read, but not a complete idea could he get from that mystic production. The thought then struck him that he had lost his reason during his illness. Filled with agony, a perspiration burst from his brow. At that moment his wife entered the room. "Read this, my dear," he cried out, thrusting the volume into her hands. After several attempts to make any sense out of it, as Jerrold related, she returned it, saying "Bother the gibberish! I don't understand a word of it!" "Thank heaven," exclaimed Jerrold, "then I am not an idiot after all!" The beautiful lady consulted her attorney, and was received with bows and smiles. "I am glad to tell you," said the legal gentleman, "that your breach of promise suit has already produced results. The defendant has offered to compromise by marrying you." "That suits me," declared the beautiful lady. "Td rather do that than stand a chance of losing a suit. Well, you have done beautifully. What do I owe you for your services?" "Shall we say $500?" "We shall not. That is altogether too much." "Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll cut that bill in two if you will promise to retain me when you sue for divorce."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. One of the most satisfactory methods of scenting the clothes closet, is a spice bag. These bags are imported from Egypt and are as pretty as they are fragrant. The spices are arranged on a cushion of cotton batting and covered with white gauze. The sheerness of this bag permits the various colors of the spices to glimmer through, giving a very pretty effect. The bags are tied with narrow satin ribbon and can be hung anywhere, though the best results are obtained in the narrow confines of a closet or drawer. The color is so unusual and so very refreshing and appealing that many women hang them beside the dressing table, thus perfuming the entire room. should not have many enemies, as it was always his hobby to try and help some one of his race who was in trouble. The Controllor's reports show that from 1898 to 1908 Clinton handled nearly $15,000,000 in state and city bonds and $756,512 in cash collected from fines and court costs and was not 5 cents short in his accounts. He is now the jovial and courteous special officer at the Lincoln Garden skating rink and is making a host of new friends every day. If space would permit us we could fill a page in speaking of his good deeds. SAULTON ENTERPRISE. Mr. Maurice Saulton, manager of the new Lincoln Theater, will soon be the manager of the States Theater. MR. SAULSBERY ILL. Mr. Saulsherr, who was here with Mrs. Aida, Overton Walker at the Pekin Theater a few weeks ago, is very ill. He was with the Porto Rican Girls and they were to leave the city the first of the week. THE HAPPY GIRLS. The Happy Girls were at Galesburg and Peoria, Ill., and are in Aurora to day. They will arrive tomorrow. TIM OWSLEY HERE. Mr. Tim Owsley is in the city. He is the proprietor of the Crown Garden Theater, Indianapolis, Ind. JENNIE WATTS-BROWN. Madam Jennie Watt-Brown, a dramatic reader and character impersonator, gave a recital at the State Street Theater on Friday afternoon. The madam has an extensive repertoire of solemn, pathetic and humorous readings. Friday she again demonstrated her ability as an artistic elocutionist. She has an attractive appearance, beautifully trained voice and recited most satisfactorily. She is one of the foremost dramatic readers on the stage. Chicago is proud of her work, which has won meritorious praise both home and abroad. She was assisted by some excellent artists and Prof. Joe Jordan furnished the music. NEW MONOGRAM ORCHESTRA. The names of Will Dorsey, Erskin Tate, Harry Johnson and George Smith are synonymous with music. Probably no four other fellows along the "Stroll" are as well versed in music as the above gentlemen. They are real musicians. On Monday night of this week they played two high-class numbers and it was surprising to see and hear so much aplause—people so apprehensive of high-class music in a ten-cent theater. Their music blends so sweetly and the time faultless. Mr. Dorsey is the leader and plays the piano, Mr. Tate the violin, Harry Johnson, cornetist, said to be the peer of orchestra cornetists, and George Smith, drums, formerly with the S. H. Dudley company. SOME OF THE THINGS EXISTING IN THE LARGE BUILDINGS By Julius N. Avendorph. The Peoples Gas Light & Coke Company, one of the largest and best known corporations in this country, is among the few, and possibly the only one, that have an up-to-date and completely furnished lunch room for the convenience of their employees; that is, where a regular meal is served at a minimum price. When I minimize, I mean it is so very small that even the office boy, whose salary is always inadequate to meet regular lunch room prices, can easily entail his lunch each day in the lunch room of this great corporation without feeling the price. Strange to say, a woman is steward of this department—Mrs. Hill (white); but her assistant and all the other attaches are colored. Mr. Edward Sutton is assistant steward and private waiter to the officials. Mr. Samuel Brown is chief chef with two assistants, Prof. Garfield Wilson, floor policeman, and Mr. Brady Wilton, the stove department, and Miss Johnson, maid, or the other colored employees who are benefited through this arrangement. One of the features of these departments in our principal large buildings is that there is no evidence that they exist, which, of course, is responsible for so few people having any knowledge of their existence; but in most cases they are on the upper floors of the buildings. Each of these institutions furnish employment for one man with extra help on occasions when they serve, to five or six regular men. In the majority of cases, the employees are paid much higher salaries by these institutions than in other places of similar character, which, of course, is an inducement and offers a benefit to both employer and employee. Men in these respective positions are high-class and proficient either as stewards, chefs or waiters. THE TANGO JUNIOR CLUB. The Tango Junior Club will have a dancing contest at Prof. Garfield Wilson's Douglass Dancing Academy on Friday night, December 5. Owing to the holiday there was no class last night. MAJOR R. DELANEY Talks Interestingly on Power of Organization. Mr. R. R. Delaney of the Railroad Men's Benevolent Association is much interested in the railroad porters having an organization. To the porters he says: "The time will come when they will wish they had organized for their mutual interest. There are 15,000 railroad men in and out of Chicago. What is power for good they could be if they would organize! They ANNOUNCEMENT. Looking to the Future Spice Bags of Egypt THE CHICAGO DEFENDER There wasn't a thing against Bessie Hicks, excepting the fact that her A man in a hat is pointing at a building with a telescope. A woman is standing in front of him, looking up at the building. At any rate, four or five of the girls who attended the village school evidently considered it obligatory to ignore Bessie in their recess games, judging from the slights they thrust upon her. However, Bessie's deportment was something to be emulated with profit; moreover, she was an apt pupil; and even in a school yard may be found a goodly percentage of young people to whom qualities of heart and mind appeal before mere externals. "Shuck's!" ejaculated Lena White, "Edna Larkin needn't consider herself so superior to Bessie. She's way below her in class—always is, dear knows; besides, she hasn't half her good manners." The four or five "best dressers" had a most exclusive time of it, so it was not the flagman's little girl who had cause to complain of loneliness, by any means. With the older children at school, the tots at home were sometimes permitted to play in a neighbor's back yard. They required watching, too, sometimes more than they got, for the straying instinct is particularly strong in some wee ones. That this was true of at least two playmates, the small maids in question were to demonstrate soon, for, hand in hand, they managed to elude their elders, and were heading straight for the "wallwood track," as Dotty pronounced it. The screech of a locomotive whistle was sufficient to prevent Dotty's companion from venturing further, so Malzie prudently turned back in the direction of home. The next minute there was a tiny white-garbled figure in the very middle of the track right above the watch box of the old flagman. The child, bewildered by fright, was uncertain which way to go to get out of the way of the oncoming train. It took but another moment for the flagman to comprehend the little one's peril, and in the same moment he was racing from his box with the engine well nigh at his heels. Leaping on the track with the grim, belching monster horribly near him, he had barely time to seize the half-paralyzed toddler by the back of her clothing, and to swing her aside with his one arm, before the train whistled by on its thunderous path. A few pedestrians who had witnessed the spectacle grounally turned away their heads to avoid seeing the mangled body of the helpless baby. Great was their relief, great as was their amazement, when their dazed eyes could assure them of the truth, that the almost-victim had escaped any worse injury than a few bruises! Excitement ran high among the group of spectators, and while one who recognized the child was taking her to her home, the little knot was presently augmented by the pupils from the school house. "Who's hurt? What's the matter?" demanded the nowcomers, in alram. "Couldn't be our Dorothy, could it!" almost screamed Edna Larkin, without waiting for a full account. Her fear-winged feet never halted until they bore her to her home. "Then she isn't injured. They told the truth. Oh! I thought—" "Yes," interrupted the neighbor who had carried in the object of solicitude, her escape was miraculous; but even more so was the escape of her rescuer. A braver deed never was performed than his, and physically handicapped as he was, too." "Her rescuer? I never waited to—" "Flagman Hicks," announced Mrs. Larkin, "I've just been told. Such herolism as his can be repaid never! To him we owe the life of our pet." Edna went to her room where she might weep unseen. The debt was too much for words! Give Fruit to Mayor of London. An ancient city privilege was witnessed at London a few days ago, when the lord mayor, Sir David Burnett, was presented by the printers with a fine collection of luscious fruit. The gift marked the continuance of a custom which has existed for many years and is a survival of the days when the lord mayor was entitled to sample all the fruit that came into the city. All the fruit presented recently was grown in England, and most of it came from Kent. Perfectly shaped pineapples, velvety peaches, apples, pears and melons, and, indeed, almost every variety of fruit England can produce were to be seen in the overflowing cornucopia and three large baskets, decorated with carnations and blue silk ribbon in which the gift was contained. Waterproofing a Raincoat The following process is recommended, for waterproofing tweeds and woolens, and should give good results when applied to a closely woven fabric, such as jersey, used for raincoats. Make solutions of equal parts of alum and lead acetate in separate vessels, and then mix them together. Lead sulphate will be precipitated, leaving acetate of aluminum in solution. This is decanted off and the material to be waterproofed is soaked in this solution, and withdrawn without being wring, and dried in the air. Elderly Bald Men Devise Means to Cover Up the Loss of Their Once Luxuriant Locks. "The first thing a barber has to learn," he said, "is to respect the scalp locks of middle-aged and old gents." "Scalp locks?" the interviewer queried. "A scalp lock," the barber explained, "is a kind of natural wig. You know how men get bald—on the crown, leaving loads of hair at the back and sides? Well, from somewhere in the fertile region, from above the right ear, say, or from the back of the neck—men grow scalp locks eight, nine ten inches—even a foot in length. "A good full scalp lock jutting from behind the ear can be spread over a perfectly bald head in such a way as to give the effect of a thin but quite nice thatch. You ought to see some of these old chaps manipulate their scalp locks. It's as good as a play, the way they wet them up, bring them forward over the huge white desert, part them to left and right, and stick them down firmly. "But when you cut off a scalp lock Dear me! I once cut off a ten-inch scalp lock from behind the left ear of a sixty-year-old banker, and that evening his fiancee, a lovely girl of seventeen summers, jilted him. Yes, sir—lifted all that money. She'd loved him, you see, for himself alone. And yet they say romance is dead on broadway." Not His Funeral. This is vowelled for a true story. The rain was falling in torrents. The homeward bound commuter, in rubbers and raincoat, holding an umbrella against the storm, was making his way along the street when he spied a coach standing in front of a house, where crape on the door indicated the imminence of a funeral. The driver was huddled under oilskins on the box. The commuter jumped in, and the coach railed off. As his unexpected fare discounted at the station and handed the driver a dollar, that worthy remarked: "Wouldn't a dast do it, sir, if I hadn't known the preacher. I'll git back in plenty of time for the process." "I know the preacher, too," said the commuter as he made a dash for his train.

Lane stood upon her manhood and refused to play without him. After some wrangling the referee gave the game to Lane, claiming that Evanston had forfeited it by refusing to play. Evanston had Walker on its football team last year, but for some unexplained reason he does not appear in any of their lineups—yet he is on the track team. Rumors are afloat that colored men are not wanted on baseball, football, basket ball or swimming teams out there. Owing to the earliness in going to press this week we will have a full story of the Lincoln-Dunbar Thanksgiving game next week. Again Howard Drew has equaled another record. Nothing surprising to us, for after we saw him in action last summer at the Grant Park games we dubbed him the "greatest that ever wore a spiked shoe." Ross was there again at guard for Nebraska, helping his alma mater to close the greatest year in football the school has ever seen. Maybe Notre Dame will play Nebraska, and in case they do we hope it will be here, so we can see the great squad. Smith of the Michigan Aggies has received, along with other members of his team, a little gold football with his initials on one side and M.-A. C. on the other. Some class. Down in Boston English High School closed a successful season. John Shelburne, their star fullback and best ground gainer, will be lost by graduation in June. Shelburne played several games with a stiff leg. The last three games that he played in he was used as a full on the offensive and tackle on the defensive. He has been chosen a member of the All-Interstate scholastic team. He is good at the 100 yards, making it close to ten seconds, and has won the standing high jump in all the school and city meets. Robert Russell and Laurence Banks are members of the second team. Several others have made good in Beantown. Ernie Martin started the season in the back field for the Latin school team but was forced to quit on account of injuries. However, he "came back" and his ability to handle the team caused him to win position as quarterback. Over the river in Cambridge Albert Saunders has come into view like a comet. His playing at halftail has caused a sensation. Little farther out, at Tufts College, William F. Brown went out for the freshman team and made it. Brown was a former star at the Mechanic Arts high team and is depended upon for next year's varsity team. Edward Niles and Harry Wells are stars on the English high cross country Kentucky Normal Badly Beaten. (Special to The Defender.) Wilberforce, Ohio, Nov. 28.—Our boys met the boys of the Kentucky State University and carried the old "Green and Gold" to victory, 28 to 0. The score was through four touchdowns and four kicks from touchdowns. Reed, Watkins, Points and Carey were the boys who made the touchdowns, Reed and Crawford the kicks. Sims and Crawford played quarter and led the team to victory. The running of all our backs was very good. Patterson and Shelton did their part in center and, taking things as a whole, the whole team played excellently. Lineup: Wheeler, Carey, right ends; Sweet, Ware, Gibson, right tackles; Blakemore, right guard; Patterson, captain; Shelton, center; Burford, Nole, left guards; Clark, Denaye, left tackles; Points, left end; Reed, right half; Griggs, full back; Watkins, Mariott, left half. Coach, Williams. The Kentucky boys fought hard and long but they were held back by "Force." All the visitors played very well. A reception was given Monday evening in the visitors' honor. FARRELL JONES ENJOYS A DISTINCTION Farrell Jones, who enjoys the distinction of being the only colored young man playing regularly on a high school football team this season in Chicago is bubbling over with joy over his success. Jones is the only colored student attending Lake High and is left end on the football team which won the lightweight city championship. The boys are being entertained royally by the students, teachers and alumni, and nothing is too good for Jones. The team left on Wednesday noon to play one of the teams in Ohio on Thanksgiving Day. Jones and Hough (the captain of the team) finish in February and will go to Illinois next September. MRS. AMERICA BROWN Tenders Whist Party to Society Leaders. Mrs. America Brown, 5120 Indiana avenue, entertained on last Saturday from 2 until 6 p. m. with a whist party. Mrs. Brown was handsomely gowned in turquoise blue volle, embroidered with flowers. Mrs. Elisha Anderson wore a black satin princess in latest style. A luncheon was served and the table was decorated with a color scheme of yellow and green. The beautifully gowned ladies present were Mesdames Dave Lawrence, Ed. Mead, Ann. Newsome, Abe Jones, B. Stovall, Annie Hayman, H. Hbolden, Frank Marks, F. Mead, Aida B. Stewart, Joe Brent, Marie Peek 'Merrill and Hattle Claybrook. Mrs. Orphir Wells assisted Mrs. Brown. Of Course. "Goodness, John," said a woman to her husband, "your suit looks as if you had been sleeping in it!" "Well," replied John, "why not? Isn't that the suit I wear at church?" ```markdown ``` --- (Special to the Defender.) Philippine Islands, Nov. 28.—It is astounding to learn how badly the soldiers of the 24th Infanty are treated on these islands. The infanty came here five months ago and were assigned to build quarters on the hillside in rotten tents. During the rainy season water fell upon them like out of doors, and soldiers state it made their hardships in Cuba pale into insignificance. When soldiers would retire they would wake up in the morning and a regular lake of water would be in the tents, clothes and beds soaking wet. Soldiers had to work the whole day in rain and mud, and would have to go down to the dock and unload the "Mille," which had chickens, eggs and fruit for white soldiers, while we got beans and potatoes. The colored soldiers must clean up the white non-commissioned officers' quarters—they are their slaves instead of soldiers. Some of the Filipinos the writer are the soldiers still in slavery. The 24th has to work on Sunday the same as any other day. They do all the digging, hauling water, building sewers, working rock piles and laying concrete, while the white soldiers are as idle as a new-born baby. They are handled like dogs, yet must be well drilled and prepared to soldiers to bare their bosom to the shot and shell of the enemy. Companies C, D, E, F, G and H are doing the work of two regiments. They are not treated like men. This should be known to the National Association for the Protection of Colored People. The white officers care nothing for the feelings of the colored soldiers and "kick" them because they refuse to work for them. It's a disgrace to the army of the United States and the president of this country, who is the commander-in-chief, for its soldiers to be treated so inhumanely. The 21st has a great record, yet the white soldiers laugh at us; but the hands of the boys in blue are tied. This ill treatment should be known to the world and the Defender is the paper to do it. OAKLAND SOCIETY FOLK Music, Flowers, and Sweet Singing Girls Seem to Abound in the Air of This Land of the Flower Gods. By C. E. Pollard. Oakland, Cal., Nov. 28.—The California Jubilee Star Quartette, was assigned for the 15th Street Church. Mr. J. C. Payne was one of the leading singers. Mr. R. S. Stewart rendered a bass solo. The visitors present were Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Rogers, Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Williams and Mrs. W. H. Holdman, of Richmond. The quartette sang with the choir on last Sunday, and Miss Eva Jones was director. The choir is makinig excellent music and the church is appreciating same by turning out in large numbers. Last Wednesday evening a body of men were called to attend a mass meeting for the purpose of organizing a social club. Being a rainy night, but a few were out. Rev. F. J. Peck was the founder. The following officers were elected: President, Bro. W. H. Williams; sce, Bro. W. J. Williams; treas, Bro. W. A. Butler. Brother Butler made a motion that every brother be unanimously elected as members and the names placed on the roll. While the club was in an enthusiastic movement Bro. J. W. Firgerson was a busy man preparing the new gallery for the choir. There were several names discussed for the club. Rev. Peck, the founder, first suggested to name the club Uneader. Bro. W. J. Williams suggested the Progressive; Bro. W. A. Butler suggested the Men's Forum. After quite a discussion, Bro. Butler made a motion to cover the hold that the present officers will be known as temporary, and the names shall stand as they are until next meeting, and was seconded by C. E. Pollard. Many good suggestions for the good of the club in the future were offered. Bro. W. J. Williams moved that the club will meet again Monday week, November 24. The following members were present: Messrs. W. H. Williams, W. A. Butler, W. J. Williams, John Wilds, B. C. Clandre, J. W. Firgerson, Geo. Turner, C. D. Hunt, E. C. Pollard and Rev. F. J. Peck. All returned home rejoicing with the future work they expect to do. Last Sunday evening a body of men met at the corner of Wood and Coss streets at the intended hall for the purpose of taking some steps in regards of that hall, which is a good deal if they can put it through. The following men were present: Messrs. J. W. Nuby, A. E. Turner, Nelson Day, W. J. Reed, Padolow, G. E. Durgen, Harvey Carr, Walter Williams, H. E. Sharpert, J. J. Baskins, contractor, J. C. Foramn, C. N. Gibson, A. B. Martin, Wm. Kennedy, H. W. Jones. It was one of the greatest enthusiastic meetings of its kind, and it seemed that everyone was enthusiastic over the step for progress of that kind. Mr. H. W. Jones moved that Mr. A. B. Martin be unanimously elected as temporary chairman; then it was up to the chair to appoint his help. Mr. Nuby was appointed as treasurer and C. E. Pollard, secretary. The meeting adjourned to meet Sun.

THE BIRTHDAY RECEP- TION Given Under the Auspices of the "Ways and Means Society" of Grace Presbyterian at the Home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hudlin, 2150 Vernon Ave.—A Charming Affair—Over Fifty Prettily Gowned Ladies in Attendance—Music, Addresses and Classical Interpretations the Feature. The birthday reception under the auspices of the famous Ways and Means Society of Grace Presbyterian Church, held Monday afternoon, Nov. 24th, from 2 to 5, at the sumptuous home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hudlin, 3250 Vernon avenue, was a brilliant affair. Rising above the dignity of an ordinary afternoon reception it took on the bigness and attractiveness of a veritable levee. Over fifty charming and pretty gowned ladies, the flower and bloom of Chicago's most exclusive people, who are only moved by the lure of way up occasions, lent their presence and happy laughter to the scene, and were interested listeners of the fine program rendered for their delectation ad profit. Brief talks were made by the president, Mrs. Clara Studeney, the vice president, Mrs. Jennie Edwards, and the hostess and birthday celebrant—thus honored by the society—Mrs. W. H. Hudlin, Mrs. Horace Brouson, for many years a popular educator of Chicago's public schools, made a most interesting and touching reminiscent address of the early and struggling days of the society, and the good and useful women who were its charter officers and early members; not a few having been called by the Father across the great divide. Her tribute to "Mother Green," at present and for many years a faithful member, was most touching and stirred her listeners visibly. Of Mrs. Charity Samuels, a former president, now deceased, she spoke in tender, chosen words of praise, extolling her lofty virtues and her devotion to life's best and highest ideals. The credit of being the original organizers of the society was divided between Mrs. Lou Thompson McDougal and "Mother Green." Mrs. David Mitchell rendered a delightful "instrumental." Irene Berenice Hudlin sang a sweet ballad, Mrs. Mitchell accompanying, and Mr. W, Allison Sweeney was pressed into service and entertained the ladies with "Twenty Minutes with the Classies." Dainty refreshments, served in dainty dishes, passed by dainty hands, were a fitting finale of the joyful occasion. 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 latest one is the Abby Fur Company and the Lincoln Millinery Store, located at 3218 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 intest 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. 3218 State street. ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. By Frank G. Lowry. Sunday morning service, 10:45 a. m.; Sunday school, 1:15 p. m.; Intermediate C. E. prayer meeting, 6 p. m.; Senior C. E. prayer meeting, 7 p. m.; evening service, 8 p. m.; midweek prayer meeting, Wednesday evening, 8. Our dearly beloved brother, Thomas Lovett, an ideal Christian gentleman and highly esteemed elder of our conference, was the welcome guest and speaker at the morning service. The theme, "The New Birth," was explained with ease by this splendid character, whose daily life is a fair sample of every word of advice which he did give unto others and the talks which he did preach. Sweet peace flooded every soul as he talked to them by the way, telling them of the heaven to be enjoyed while on earth if only we will let God have His right of way in our hearts. At the evening service Dr. Wilson filled his pulpit and spoke in his usual and eloquent manner from the theme, "The Gospel of Work." He indeed gave some excellent advice to the young as well as to the old. The Sunday school teachers would be pleased to see every one of their scholars next Sunday. Please come out and help swell the number by bringing some one with you. The Intermediates are always glad to have visitors at their prayer meetings. Come any Sunday between the hours of six and 7 o'clock and you will be warmly welcomed. Introduced Heraelf. Mother (anxiously)—"Don't go nea the horse, dear; he doesn't know you."

They seem to excel as players at the green cloth games and some of them are rated as among the world's best cue artists. Last year Koji Yamada came to this country from Japan to participate in the international tournament and had little trouble in holding his own with the American cracks. Yamada made a tour of the country and was well received by billard lovers in all parts of the United States. The latest of the Jap billiardists this country is Ikujiro Yamada, a billard champion of Japan ready to take on our best mura hold the amateur title of his country. He to be a much better playmada. Tamura in his prel has proved that he is a gra player. He made runs of one game of 18.2. Unlike depends on his delicate to very little driving. ATHLETICS MUCH IN FAVOR Many Excellent Performers Being Developed in Other Countries With Idea of Defeating Yankees. James E. Sullivan, who was long president of the Amateur Athletic union, is one of those who believes that the American athlete will have to look well to his laurels or he will be defeated in the Olympic games at Berlin in 1916. Mr. Sullivan understands conditions both in this country and abroad better than any other man and is in a position where he can speak from first hand knowledge. He has been in Europe of late and has examined into conditions as regards athletes in several countries. He finds that in all of them athletics has taken on a big boom and the representatives of the leading European countries on track and field are working with might and main to beat out the Yankees when they come together again in the international contests. A number of wonderful young athletes are being developed on the other side and in the opinion of Sullivan they will be able to meet the Americans on at least equal terms when the next Olympiad rolls around. James E. Sullivan has devoted his while life to the cause of athletics. [Pictorial portrait of a man in formal attire]. James E. Sullivan. He is the greatest athletic power in American and the world's greatest athletic authority. In recognition of his directorship of the St. Louis Olympic games in 1904 the international Olympic committee conferred upon him a special medal. Only 14 such medals ever have been awarded, President McKinley being the only other American to be so honored. Doolin in Vaudeville. Unfettered by a contract calling for him to stay off the stage, and sure of a club-house roof over his head next season, Charles Doolin, manager of the Phillies, will appear in vaudeville this winter. The above-mentioned conditions prevented him from earning "side money" last winter, but this year's different. Let Walsha Go. Both of the Philadelphia clubs are going to get rid of their Walsha. Report has it that the Phillies will send Runto to Montreal as part payment for Catcher Eddie Burns and Connie Mack will send Jimmy to the Yankees on the Derrick deal by which Chance permitted Derrick to go to Baltimore. Look for Training Place. The Phillies are still looking for a place, to train next year and every mall brings several offers to President Baker, who is no busy at present to consider any them. latest of the Jap billiardists to invade this country is Ikuoji Tamura, the billiard champion of Japan. He stands ready to take on our best players. Tamura hold the amateur championship title of his country. He is conceded to be a much better player than Yamada. Tamura in his preliminary work has proved that he is a great balkline player. He made runs of 137 and 90 in one game of 18.2. Unlike Yamada he depends on his delicate touch and does very little driving. There is one sympathetic beauty about football wherein it surpasses its diamond brother. When the season ends it ends, barring a brief all-American flurry, and we are not confronted with the daily spiet that "Harvard has traded Brickley for Costello" or that "Yale plans to ask waivers upon her entire backfield." GOSSIP AMONG SPORTS Those who have been nosing around claim that there is a scarcity of pacing stake material for next season. The down-east trainer, A. B. Martin, is going to have a half a dozen ready for the campaign on the ice this winter. Prince Theodore Ypsilanti has named his foreign bred trotter, Allel, in the four $20,000 stakes at San Francisco. Babcock, the Olympic pole vault champion, has turned to rowing, prac- tically announcing that he will drop his former specialty. Jake Daubert, the star hitter of the National league, and one of the best first sackers in the country, went hit- less in but 26 contests last season. Konetchy himself is the authority for the statement that his contract with St. Louis was signed only on condition that he should be traded during the winter. France will not depend on a foreign athlete to coach or train her Olympians. The Gallic standard-bearers will be under the direction of Jean Bouin of Marseilles. * * * * San Antonio's ultimatum that it has decided to abandon all effort to stage the Vanderbilt Cup and Grand Prize brings up the query, "Are the two classics finished forever?" * * * * Princeton is said to have disposed of the summer baggage problem by prohibiting summer/baseball. This order, however, only opens the controversy—it doesn't settle it. F. J. Lindberg of the Chicago Athletic association, won the 300 yard western championship run at the National dairy show. Lindberg's time was: 35 3-5. J. J. Dwyer was second and Max Bockleman third. The Greeks will hold a revival of the Olympiad at Athens next spring and while in no sense regarded as international Olympiad games, will ask teams from foreign countries to compete. Sullivan favors sending an A. A. U. delegation. Sir Thomas has apparently been able to slip one tinge by the Americans in the America's curge. This time they forgot to prohibit the Shamrock 'from being towed across the Atlantic. The official league show that Bullet Joe Bush, the kid hero of a world series victory, was driven to cover at least once during the season by every club in the league. Hardwick is the only one of 66 athletes at Harvard entitled to wear the official variety letter who is a "Triple H" man. His letters were made in three, major sports, football, baseball and track.

ANOTHER BUILDING FOR TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE (Special to The Defender.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Nov. 28.—Dr. Booker T. Washington's work is still having its influence felt in the East.

B. & O. EMPLOYES Given Hard Blow By Knights of Pythias. (Special to The Defender,) Washington, D. C., Nov. 28—Supreme Vice Chancellor Jos. L. Jones of Cincinnati, Ohio, has addressed a letter to each of the Grand Chancellors in cities where there are lodges of the Knights of Pythias, including Washington, calling attention to the fact that Samuel C. West and Jefferson D. Norris, both employees of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad are foremost in keeping up the agitation for the segregation of the colored citizens of Baltimore. General Jones makes note that he has advised G. W. Squiggins, general passenger agent, and Daniel Willard, president, both at Baltimore, that the Knights of Pythias throughout the country will use all of their powerful influence to discourage the use of the B. & O. by the members of the order, and by the colored people at large, while these men are in the employ of the company. General Jones further informs these officials that of all the roads in the land the Knights have felt most friendly toward the B. & O., and, as the local representatives of the road attest, the order has repeatedly advised the officers encouraged their delegates to travel more than preference to others, when there were competing lines running to places of meeting. It is stated that the Knights have already succeeded in having Mr. West "called down" once, but he seems to have paid no attention to his first warning. It is desired that the company pitt a stop to his activities against the liberty and citizenship of the Negroes of Baltimore, or eliminate him from the place he holds in the claim department of the road. It is said that Mr. West represents one of the most prejudiced wards in the city of Baltimore, and that he feels that he cannot be re-elected unless he catches to their narrowness by keeping the race question alive. The fight inaugurated by General Jones and his brethren will be pushed to a finish, it is declared, and the local Chancellors are urged to write to the B. & O. officials in their several neighborhoods, as well as to the main office, with a view to letting them know that the continuation of West and Norris in their employ will mean the loss of thousands of dollars of the colored people's money. It is believed the B. & O. officials will "sit up and take notice," as a similar campaign led by Baltimoreans, resulted in the taking down of signs designating certain accommodations "For Colored People," etc. SUPREME COURT JUSTICES Attend Funeral of Prominent Citizen (Special to The Chicago Defender). Washington, D. C., Nov. 25.—It was a graceful and merited tribute to the fidelity and long service of Mr. Archbold Lewis that five Justices of the Supreme Court attended his funeral last Saturday. They were Chief Justice Edward Douglass White, Justices Willis, Vandeventer, Joseph Lamar, William R. Day and Oliver Wendell Holmes. The exercises took place at the home of Mr. Lewis, 426 M street, Northwest, and the people who came to honor the deceased far exceeded the capacity of the place. The Justices remained throughout the services, mingling freely with the host of friends who passed in and out to pay their respects and to say a word of condolence to the bereaved family. Mr. Lewis had been connected with the Supreme Court as official rober and general attendant for 64 years, having been appointed in 1849, during the incumbency of Chief Justice Roger B. Taney. He had an enviable record for efficiency and fidelity and all of the long line of Justices were fond of him. He was one of the pillars of St. Lake's Protestant Episcopal Church. He was freed long before the beginning of the Civil War. "Archie Lewis was a man of great character," said Justice Vandeventer. "He had a wonderful disposition and endeared himself to my associates and myself by his unfalling courtesy and kindness of heart. He was one of the best informed men I have ever met and possessed a memory of faces, incidents and historical facts that was little short of marvelous. He filled his place at the court up to a few days ago, and his death, after so brief an illness, was as sad as it was unexpected. Such men as Archibald Lewis are a credit to the nation as well as to his race. He was faithful to every trust. He will not soon be forgotten." CHICAGO HAIR DRESSERS Arrive in London—Call at Defender Office. (Special to the Defender.) London, England, Nov. 27—Madames E. Fleming, L. Smith and F.

Less Freedom Allowed Now Than There Was Under the Moslem Rule —Newspaper Favors Military Invasion to Restore Swy. London.—The Ikdam notes what others have also reported, that there is less religious liberty in Macedonia now among the Christian sects than there was under Moslem rule, and it favors a military invasion of Macedonia to restore the sway of the Crescent. It says: "The Balkan war was to have liberated the various races from galling servitude. It has not so resulted. It has rather resulted in the loss of the rights those races held under Ottoman rule, when the government recognized the religious and civil officers who were freely chosen by the several Christian communities. But the various elements of the population that have fallen into the hands of the Greek School at Alistrati, Burned by the Bulgarians. From "A Sad Page in Balkan History," Published at Athens. Balkan government can no longer possess the forces they formerly enjoyed. It is therefore natural that they should, all alike, without distinction of race or religion, desire autonomy under Ottoman sovereignty. This defines the present duty of the Ottoman state, viz., to go forward relying on her military strength and establish Macedonian autonomy. The Greeks have no right to remain in Kavala, or in Salonika, the capital of the new principality. The Ottoman army should advance beyond Salonika, to Elassona, and enter Thessaly, and cancel the claims of the Greeks to the islands also. This erection of Macedonia into an autonomous principality would serve the interests of Roumania and of the great powers of Europe, and make possible a real balance of power in the Balkans, and stop the present deadly rivalry. THE VENGEANCE OF OUTLAWS Band of Desperadoes Wipe Out Every Member of a Large Family But One. Milan—A band of outlaws has meted out a dreadful vengeance on a well-to-Sieglian family named Calagero, who lived at Favara, near Palermo. Several months ago the brigade suspected the family of acting as spies for the police and plotting to have them captured while entertaining them to dinner. The outlaws accordingly sent Signor Calagero a black-edged missive warning him that the whole family would be wiped out before the fall of the leaves. On June 8 the father, mother and two elder sons were found to have been murdered while asleep and the two younger sons and their sister Florena were thereupon taken away by friends to Castroflippo, in the hope of averting further tragedy. It was in vain, for a few nights ago the brigands waylaid and shot all three. The only surviving member of the family is a married brother, with two children, living in Brooklyn, N. Y. BEAR STEALS ARMY MEAT Animal Gets Yellowstone National Park Soldiers' Rations by Acrobatic Feats. Washington—The war department has allowed the soldiers of Troop I, First United States cavalry, stationed in the Yellowstone National park, $10.80 for beef stolen by bears. The department at first refused to allow the claim, but later relented upon receipt of details of the thefts. Asked for particulars, Col. L. M. Betts, in charge of the troopers, explained that his men had taken every precaution to save the meat from the bears, but were outwitted. A frame, screened over and holding the meat, was suspended in midair by wires attached to four trees forming a square. No corner of the frame was within ten feet of any tree. To get meat for meals the cooks used a ladder. One night a bear climbed one of the trees, went out on a limb 12 feet above the meat, dropped on it and bore it to the ground. Grave Hold Petrified Man Baltimore, Md—After laying in a grave for nearly nine years, the body of Patrick Dugan, was found to have become completely petrified. Its weight was estimated at more than 600 pounds. The face and hands were a light gray, while the clothes were several shades darker. The body was reinterred in another cemetery. Dugan was eighty-four years old when he died. Sneeze Causes Woman's Death. Calgary, Alb—During an aerial act here, Bartlett, a young man, hung by his knees from a trapeze, while a woman assistant, hanging at the end of a strap gripped in Bartlett's teeth, spun dizzily in midair. Unconsciously Bartlett sneezed and the woman dropped 30 feet, alighting in the orchestra pit. A hairpin was driven into her skull, inflicting a fatal injury. Woodsville, Sept. 16.—Dearest Gertrude: If I had lived a hundred years ago, I should at this moment be locked in my room, white and drooping with despair, and in time would languish away and die of a broken heart. However, I am a twentieth century girl and will break my heart over no one. What is more, I won't allow it to have the least little nick to be more explicit, Jack and I have parted forever. I don't propose to lose my American independence for any man. If I am to be cooped up after I am married and never speak a pleasant word to any of the men I know, I won't marry, that's all. Naturally I did not want Jack to think I was pining for him, so I thought I would get a new gown or two, and have just as good a time as possible. I went to father. He asked me how much money I would need, and when I told him—a very reasonable sum, I assure you this parental wrath was immediately kindled. Daughter Katherine was lectured accordingly. Among other pleasant things, he remarked that if I saw fit to break a desirable engagement without a shadow of an excuse, well and good, but after this I must economize, as he would no longer pay such enormous bills for me. That made me pretty mad, for I have not had a new dress this month. From that moment I made up my mind that I would be independent. It is not that I mind economizing, it's the spirit of the thing. If my father considers me a tax on his purse, I will remove myself. I have decided to be a governess. One's life must be lived through somehow. Devotedly yours. KATE. Chicago, Sept. 25.—My Dear Gertrude: You have no idea how your letter comforted and strengthened me. You see by the date that I am at Aunt Cora's. I came here so that I might meet the woman who wishes to employ me. This morning I went downtown to interview her. You would hardly have known the staid, dignified individual who meekly answered the hundred and one questions that it seemed necessary for madam to ask. Finally she announced, in a cold, bargaining time of voice: "I think you would suit me. You have a pleasing personality and that is quite an important thing with children." I wanted to box her ears. Pleasing personality, indeed! I suppose she thinks you love heartwarming will absorb some of it! but you don't from saying anything about my innate feelings, and humbly begged leave to think it over for one night. Your affectionate friend. KATHERINE STANDISH WOLCOTT. Woodsville Oct. 10—Dear Old Gertrude: I must write immediately to tell you the sequel. The day after writing you, I looked pale and subdued enough to teach 50 children, for I wept oceans of tears that night. Just to the minute of the time I had agreed to give my answer, there was a ring at the bell, and the malfold came up to tell me that a gentleman wished to see me. I mustered all my failing courage and descended to seal my fate. The reception room was so dark that I could hardly see where the man was standing, but I began my little speech without trying to see him. Before I had said more than "Good evening, Mr. —," he stepped quickly forward, drew me into his arms, pressed my head against his shoulder—there was something wonderfully familiar in the feel of those arms—and a voice I knew only too well, though it was husky with emotion, said: "Kitty, darling, how could you?" If Jack had not taken me so unawares, I should have had time to collect my wandering wits and be a little child, but as it was, I simply put my arms around and clung to him, sobbing as if my heart were broken instead of perfectly sound and whole. Jack says they are going to have the finest cotillion of the season next week. Of course, I promised to dance it with him. I must stop now, dearle, for I have an appointment at the dressmakers. As ever, your loving KITTY. P. S.—Of course, you know you are to be my mald of honor—K. W. Chemical Rain. It has long been known that the dirty rain of every smoky region is a disastrous thing for vegetation. It now appears probable—or at least possible—that but slightly poisonous rains, such as occur over an ordinarily smoky city, may seriously injure fruits and flowers. J. W. Harshberger, of the University of Pennsylvania, suggests that the spots on leaves and fruit caused by the acidity of raindrops may serve as the points of entry of parasitic fungi. He says, "A fungus, which is stimulated to growth by an acid condition" of the cell sap, would find ideal conditions for the commencement of growth by entering areas influenced by acid raindrops.

Several attendants rushed to her side, and she was rushed to raise her at once. One said soothingly: "We'll get you up all right, madam. Do not be slammed." "Oh, I'm not alarmed at all, but your floor is so terribly lumpy." And then from underneath came a small voice, which said: "I am not a lump, I am an attendant." "Your mamma's moving picture?"
