LATEST NEWS If You See It In The Defender It's So CARNEGIE Twenty-Five Binga Di GIE ME Five Pupil Dismone (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, June 26.—The Democratic senators from the South were afraid to return home with any of their constituents even so much as suspicioning that they voted for Judge Terrell's confirmation, so, on request of Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, the senate ban of secrecy as to the vote was lifted. The lifting of the ban of secrecy shows that the southern senators to a man voted against confirmation and fourteen Democratic senators from the North voted for confirmation. Among the northern senators who voted for confirmation was Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois. Senator Lewis' Afro-American constituents cannot now find fault with their plink-whiskered statesman for falling to stand by an Afro-American appointment. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, who a year ago hypnotized his Afro-American constituents into the belief that he desired a man of the race from his state, the late, forgotten, but not lamented Adam Patterson, appointed Register of the Treasury, voted squarely against Judge Terrell's confirmation, as did also his colleague, Senator Owens, who spouts about the Indian blood that runs through his veins. Out in Oklahoma it is not infrequent that Indian and Negro blood are both running a neck and neck race through the veins of a mongrel breed. --- --- VOL. IX., NO. 26. ARMED BANDIT HOLDS UP TRAIN; FELLED BY COOK Albert Randree Effectively Uses Ice Pick on Outlaw Who Had Terrorized Passengers on a Southern Pacific Train and Held Two Detectives at Bay. GENEROUSLY REWARDED Los Angeles Citizens Plan to Get Carnegie Decoration for This Hero and Julius Malone Who With Clothes Afire Rescues Fifteen Persons From St. George's Hotel. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Los Angeles, Cal., June 26.—Arrangements are being made in this city to secure a Carnegie medal for Albert Ruddie, the horse cook who rescued the passengers on the Southern Pacific train in the recent bandit incident. Randree is twenty-seven years old, has served in the Twenty-fifth Infantry in the Philippine Islands as instructor in the army gymnasium and as a non-commissioned officer. Being honorably discharged from the army he secured work as panty boy for the Southern Pacific Steamship Company, which afforded him the opportunity for traveling over the world, says Eloise Bibb Thompson in the Los Angeles Tribune. Detectives at Bay. About a year ago he was engaged by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company as fourth cook on trains Nos. 21 and 22, running between Los Angeles and San Francisco, According to Randree's statement, as train No. 21 left San Jose a short time ago en route to San Francisco, the bandit, James S. Hogue, a former engineer of the Southern Pacific, cut the wires which operate the block signal, about ten miles from Sah Jose, just out of tunnel No. 5, a place where trains never stop unless there is danger. When the train stopped the bandit, well masked, mounted the observation car platform and demanded the valuables of the passengers. Women and children began to scream and run to the diner, the adjoining car. They were preceded by a male passenger who fortunately eluded the bandit and rushed through the diner shouting, "Run and get the train conductor; a bandit is on." Fires on Pursuers. Two detectives, having been notified of the presence of the bandit, came hurriedly through the diner and were met by Albert Randree, the colored cook, who requested that they give him a revolver with which he might assist in the defense of the passengers. Having been told that there was no other weapon but the ones that the detectives carried. Randree seized an ice pick, which he concealed behind a chair in the diner, and stood empty handed awaiting the arrival of the bandit. In the meantime the detectives had concealed themselves in the alcove near the en- (Continued on Page 7.) PROVIDENT'S NEW INTERNE ```markdown ``` Dr. Pedro M.

THE Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY SATURDAY CHICAGO, JUNE 27, 1914 SATURDAY DAME FORTUNE SMILES ON ARIZONA MAN J. E. Ready of Phoenix Visits Chicago After Settling Up Legacy in Knoxville, Tenn.—Son Aspires to Presidency. A visitor of prominence last week was J. E. Ready of Phoenix. Ariz., who was the guest of Mrs. E. F. Bennett, 3626 State street. Mr. Ready was en route home from Knoxville, Tenn., where he had been to settle up a recent bequest of real estate and money. He is an admirer of The Chicago Defender and sought out a representative in order to subscribe for it. He declared that it was "the greatest race newspaper published and that its policy of fair play and equal representation should give it a wide circulation." His stay was short as he was anxious to return to his wife and son. His son, his greatest pride, aspires to be the president of the United States, much to the delight of his father. SOUTHERN SENATORS PUT ON RECORD IN TERRELL VOTE On Request of Senator Gore of Oklahoma, the Ban of Secrecy is Lifted to Protect Southerners From Any Suspicion By Their Constituents. EVERY SOUTHERNER AGAINST CONFIRMATION J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois and Thirteen Other Northern Democrats Voted for Terrell—O'Gorman of New York, as Usual, Dodged Voting on a Race Measure. The Loyal Northerners. The Democratic senators from northern states who voted for Judge Terrell's confirmation were: Chilton, of West Virginia; Hollis, of New Hampshire; Martine and Hughes, of New Jersey; Johnson, of Maine; Lane, of Oregon; Kern and Shrively, of Indiana; Lewis, of Illinois; Pomerene, of Ohio; Thompson, of Kansas; Walsh, of Montana, and Shafroth and Thomas, of Colorado. Senator O'Gorman, from the great state of New York, which has 135,000 colored population, for some reason did not vote for or against confirmation, just as he did respecting the Agriculture Bill. Senator O'Gorman, it is thought, prefers to dodge voting for any proposition directly benefiting the race. MRS EDNA NICHOLS SAYS THAT SHE IS NOT PREJUDICED Druggist at Root and State Streets Cites Long Service as Teacher in Chicago Public Schools in Denial of Published Statement That She Was. TENANTS WERE RUDE AND ABUSED RIGHTS Chicago Defender Investigates Trouble in the Manhattan Building and Discovers Another Side, Wherein It is Claimed That Tenants Trespassed. Mrs. Edna F. Nichols, the druggist at Root and State streets, declares that she was not actuated by race prejudice when she called the police a week or more ago to compel the tenants of the Manhattan building, in which her business is located, to move their chairs from in front of her store. On the contrary, she asserts that the tenants trespassed on her frontage and that it was upon the advice of the landlord that she called the police. These statements by Mrs. Nichols were brought forth by a story published in The Chicago Defender last Saturday that during the warm spell the week previous she would not allow occupants to sit out front. Tuesday a reporter called on Mrs. Nichols. To the question as to what the trouble was she said: "I merely politely asked the tenants to move away from my store front, and when they refused I applied to the landlord, and he told me to report the mater to the police, and I sent a written complaint to the 50th street station. All this talk about abusive language is not true." The Darrow Attitude. "What about you being prejudiced?" "Why, that is absurd. I was a teacher in the public schools of Chicago for many years—nine of them being spent with Mary Darrow-Olson as principal in the McCash school. Everyone knows the broad-minded attitude of the Darrows, Clarence S. and his sister, on the race question, and no one could associate long with them and be prejudiced." The incident was neighborhood talk, and a non-resident of the Manhattan building voiced the opinion of a competent authority when he said "that tenants are not allowed to trespass on a storekeeper's frontage." With the advent of cooler evenings no doubt this little cloud will disappear. A SUBSTANTIAL BANK THAT WILL NOT FAIL A Pertinent Notice to Bank Depositors—The Comparison of 3 Per Cent to 16 Per Cent Interest. The term "safety" has recently become the slogan of many banking institutions. It is to be wondered why so many continue to put their earnings into a bank and draw the small rate of 3 per cent interest (providing the bank does not fail), when this same money invested in good real estate would draw from 6 to 16 per cent interest. Every person who invests in well-selected real estate in a large city like Chicago adopts the surest and safest method of becoming independent, for real estate is the basis of all wealth. Real estate is the best investment for small savings. More money is made from the rise in real estate values than all other causes combined. Chicago's largest real estate operators are now offering special inducements for the next few days in Chicago improved property. See Bartlett's ad on the last page of this issue.

Heury Allen Boyd and his father are in the city attending the International Sunday School Conference, which is in session at the La Salle Hotel. Dr. Boyd is one of the most widely known men of the race and has succeeded in building the largest printing business in the South. Dr. Boyd, Bishop Clinton and Booker T. Washington are the three Afro-Americans who are on the Executive Committee of the conference. Fifty other Christian leaders are attending the convention, and will, with 500 local Christian men and boys, be in the line of march, in which there will be 50,000. A number of the delegates paid their respects to the Defender office. The Rev. Ellington, of Nashville, Tenn., was one of the race men to lead in the Sunday school lesson. Dr. Boyd will speak Monday night at Medinah Temple. STOCKHOLDERS OF CO OPERATIVE STORE MEET In response to a special call the Public Co-operative Store Company held a largely attended meeting Friday night, June 19, at their grocery and market, 3717 State street.

JACK JOHNSON DEFENDS TITLE IN PARIS TONIGHT Champion to Fight Frank Moran of Pittsburgh Before Seven Thousand People. ROYALTY TO ATTEND. Foxy Ring Warrior Does Not Show Power Purposely. Both Fighters Have Big Following. Special to the Chicago Defender. Paris, June 26.—Seven thousand persons will see the heavyweight championship fight between Jack Johnson, the titleholder, and Frank Moran of Pittsburgh, on Saturday. Every seat in the big arena has been engaged, some of the ringside seats going for $75, $100 and $125. The advance sale has already reached $20,000. Many of the royalty have engaged seats and these are paying top prices. Both men have a big following among the lovers of boxing and each fighter is confident of winning. Sentiment is pretty evenly divided, and it is likely that most of the last hour bets will be made at even money. A number of wagers were made to-day with the odds slightly favoring Johnson, but there is no lack of Moran money. Supporters of Moran are quoting the old ring adage, "Youth will be served," and pointing out the fact that the white man is ten years younger than Johnson. This advantage in age, combined with Moran's enthusiasm, sound constitution and natural speed will work greatly in his favor. Johnson will enter the ring as the "old master." Years of experience have taught him all the tricks of the game and in addition Johnson has extraordinary strength. The titleholder will have the advantage in weight, but there is little difference in the reach. Both men continued their regular programs at their respective training quarters to-day, but to-morrow they will do only light work to keep their muscles supple for the combat on the following day. Both gladiators tore into their sparring partners after a long run over the dusty roads. Afterward there was bag-punching and shadow sparring. Those who have seen Johnson in action think that he has lost some of his former speed, but it is also remembered that he is a keen strategist as well as a hard fighter. It may be that he purposely fails to display his best wares before the spectators who daily crowd his training quarters to see him at work. Johnson also seems to tire more easily than he did a few years ago, but whether this is real or assumed cannot be told by the spectators. Johnson claims he is in the beat condition of his ring career and he is telling his friends to bet their bankrolls upon him. As for the title aspirant, he is not underestimating Johnson's prowess. "I realize that I am going up against the most dangerous fighter in the ring," said Moran, "but I am so sure of beating him that I am betting my own money on myself. I am going to fight warily and Johnson will not get a chance to pull any of his tricks on me." "Tell my friends," said Johnson, "I am not too enough to risk my title in a bout where I am not prepared. I 'er felt better, and if I lose I will not claim poor condition. I will win in four rounds." All matter for publication in the Chicago Defender Saturday, July 4, must reach the office not later than Tuesday night, June 30. The office of the Defender will be open until 11 p. m. Friday, July 3, for the accommodation of newsdealers, and will be closed all day Saturday, July 4. Johnson Knows Game.

[Special to The Chicago Defender.] Washington, D. C., June 26.—Tired of the tranquility that characterized Haiti for some time past, two world powers threaten trouble. This time it is France and Germany claiming that the island republic is not meeting its outstanding financial obligations fast enough. It is rumored here that they have warned the Haitians that unless they are more prompt that her custom houses will be seized. Tuesday Secretary Bryan said no notice that such a step was contemplated had come to the United States from the European powers, but reports of the serious situation there was the subject of a long discussion at a cabinet meeting that morning. PRESIDENT ASKS H. LINCOLN JOHNSON TO RESIGN JULY 1 Recorder of Deeds at Washington Promptly Complies With Request After Pulling Every Wire to Win vor With the Administration, Without Success. JERSEY MAN TO SUCCEED HIM, IS REPORT Albert Corsey, an Afro-American Attorney From President Wilson's Own State, a Democrat of Prominence, is Mentioned for Appointment. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, June 26.—President Wilson on last Saturday called for the resignation of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds, to take effect July 1. Mr. Johnson, having nothing to do but comply with the request, promptly sent it in. The rumor is current that the President will appoint an Afro-American Democrat to succeed him, and the man most prominently considered is Albert Cosey, of New Jersey, the President's home state. Mr. Cosey, like his to be predecessor, is a lawyer. It is alleged that Mr. Johnson played every card in the deck to hold his job under the Democrats. It is stated, on the most excellent authority, that, apparently, to gain the favor of the White House, he notified it when he had a $1,200 vacancy in his office, suggesting to the White House a recommendation of someone to fill it. White Woman Suggested. This is a very unusual thing to do, bureau heads never going out of their way to notify the White House of small vacancies. The White House suggested a young white woman, said to be a dry goods clerk, for the position. Instead of Mr. Johnson promoting efficient Afro-American clerks in his office up to the $1,200 vacancy, and dropping the inexperienced white woman in the lowest grade, as the White House anticipated he would do, he appointed the white woman over the heads of long-tenured and efficient Afro-American clerks into the $1,200 place. Mr. Johnson is now free to campaign for Grand Master of the Odd Fellows against G. H. Morris, present grand master, not from advises received at Odd Fellow headquarters here from all over the country his chances of success are very slim to become Grand Master Morris' successor. ELECTED CHIEF RANGER Mr. Dortch was elected Chief Ranger at the meeting of Court General Robert Elliott Monday night.

EDUCATION MAKES GREAT STRIDES Students Sacrifice Pleasure and Oftimes the Necessities of Life to Gain Knowledge—Children Should Be Employed. These are bright and happy days for the boys and girls. Graduation is here, and the boys and girls receive their diplomas amidst the plaudits of their friends, while the other pupils prepare to enjoy the summer vacation mindful of the fact that fall and the resumption of studies is just over the hill. At Wendel Phillips. The topic of interest among pupils and educators is the large class of bright pupils graduated this year from Wendell Phillips High School—out of a total of a hundred or more twenty-five were bright boys and girls whom we delight to call our own. Never before in the history of the United States has such a large number been graduated from a public school at one time. This large number is especially gratifying, bespeaking as it does the increased interest of parents in the education of their children and the palstaking and splendid instruction afforded in our public schools of Chicago. It also demonstrates an awakened desire on the part of the children to learn. Study Under Hardship. This and next week will be one of pleasure and rejoicing. Many of the pupils who came under the tape winners of diplomas received their Instructions under great privations. Several cases are known of young men and women who could not purchase shoes, who bought rubbers instead and wore them in dry as well as wet weather and cases wherein students have gone without sufficient food to buy books and other material. To them it is the season of rejoicing. Others, however, have had everything that money could buy and every comfort and now that vacation days are here parents should be as careful to keep their children off the streets as they were to send them to school. Let Them Work. The Defender suggests that they be found employment in stores and offices and even if the pay is small the practical knowledge will be of benefit and they will not be found swelling the number of the undesirables that infests the streets of Chicago. No Jim Crow Schools. Those who will resume their studies in the fall should do so with an ardor that nothing less than the highest honors in the school would stop. They should bear in mind that there are those who would take the privilege of study away from them and who would Jim Crow them. The Chicago Defender has fought for them with the splendid results noted above and to the consternation of those who would classify both Afro-Americans and Jews. Another thought, those who do not care to go to college will find exceptional advantages in the vocational schools in and around Chicago. MEXICAN FRANK'S GUEST.

English Journal Gives Some Figures That Should Interest Taxpayers—Single Broadside From Battle-ship Costs a Fortune. One wonders while listening to the present loud complaints regarding the growth of the British navy bill what the protests would be like should Great Britain be called upon to pay a naval war bill. It is not easy to estimate the cost of a big naval battle, but considering that $1,000,000 has to be spent on a super-dreadnaught of the type of the Iron Duke, which has just been commissioned at Portsmouth, and that her guns use up powder and shot at the rate of $50,000 per minute, it would be a somewhat expensive business for the taxpayer if many such vessels were disabled or lost. The Iron Duke is the world's most powerful ship, and has many unique features. She is the first battleship to be equipped with specially designed guns for fighting enemies in the air. These guns are capable of sending projectiles, specially designed for the purpose, to a height of over 10,000 feet at the rate of twelve or thirteen a minute. The Iron Duke is also the first vessel to carry a battery of twelve six-inch quick-friers for beating off the attacks of torpedo craft. Most of the earlier ships were armed with four-inch guns for this purpose, but torpedo craft have grown so rapidly, and it is now possible for torpedoes to be fired effectively from such long distances that the mounting of heavier guns has become imperative. Hence the six-inch guns, which throw a hundred-pound projectile, and are the largest man-handed guns in the British navy. The latest scientific instruments with which the Iron Duke is fitted enable these big guns to be aimed with marvelous accuracy, a score of 100 per cent hits being frequently made with them. It is interesting to contrast this super-dreadnaught, which is 576 feet long, has a displacement of 25,000 tons, and is fitted with turbines of 29,000 horsepower, which enable her to travel over twenty-two knots an hour, with the last Iron Duke, a first-class battleship, launched almost exactly forty years ago, which was only 280 feet long, and displaced 0.010 tons. Her armament consisted of ten nine-inch and four sixty-four-pound muzzle-loaders. The total weight of her armor was $24 tons, about one-tenth of the weight of the new ship's protection. The hull and machinery of the ship of 1870 cost $731,570 and $250,825 respectively, the corresponding costs for the new vessel being $5,159,085 and $1,358,355, a striking illustration of the growth in the cost of battleships.—Tit-Bits. Oil and Gas From Bricks Recent experimenting in the Petterborough (England) brickyards with a patented process for extracting 'oil, ammonia, and gas from burning bricks is likely to have an important commercial significance. All bricks made from the Oxford clay in the neighborhood of Peterborough burn of themselves in the kiln, because of the bluminous matter they contain, and that bluminous matter yields oil, gas, and ammonia on heating in a retort out of contact with the air. Patients have been granted to an exscholar from the Cathedral grammar school, Mr. G. P. Growden, who has invented an apparatus to modify the present brick-klins, so that the waste heat from the burning bricks may be used for heating the retorts, and further, that the green bricks themselves may be retorted, and the oil, gas, and the ammonia recovered from them. The results are said to be most astonishing. Home Remedy Dangers. It is quite pleasing to hear persons praise the harmless efficacy of domestic remedies, but no one knows better than the physician in general practice that the ignorant use of such remedies is a great feeder to the profession. One of these remedies, popularly supposed to be innocent, is turpentine, applied as a rubefacient. In the New York Medical Record is given a case tending to disprove this assumption. When one year old a slight eruption began. To this a preparation of camphorated oil and turpentine was applied, as the child suffered from bronchitis. The eruption greatly increased, spread over the back, shoulders and chest and also to a less extent on the cheeks and forehead, and consisted of morbid pustules, annoying and painful. The lesions, as they healed, formed white pitted scars and fibrous thickenings dotted over with pits. Bolling Down a Profession Boling Down a Profession. A young fellow living in one of Indiana's small towns was graduated from the high school and looked about for some easy, yet lucrative profession. He finally decided to study medicine, and settled down in the office of the town's most popular doctor for a summer's reading. As he read he watched this busy man's hours of work. One day in the late summer the doctor came in out of a draunching rain, tired out, and a trifle cross. Glancing at the immaculate young fellow, whose heels were reposing on the office desk, he asked brusquely: "Still think you want to be a doctor?" "Ye—es," came the languald answer, "but I've decided to practise only on fair days, and not go out of nights." Bucket Shop. A bucket shop is an office where people may gamble in fractional lots of stock, grain or other things which are bought and sold on the exchanges. The bucket shop uses the terms and outward forms of the exchanges, but differs from these in that there is no delivery, and no expectation or intention to deliver or receive securities or commodities said to be sold or purchased. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER LYON'S SHORT STORY By FRANK CONDON. We were sitting around the big, shining table in the famous billiard-room off Broadway. Scores of men were clicking ivory balls within hearing, and Lyon, the man who writes, was talking about something or other. There sat at the table, beside Lyon, Chick Miller, the general advertising man; Bill Miller, the street-car advertising man; Frank Walton, the composer, and the transmitter of this mystery. "I'll tell you a story," said Lyon, without preface. "You can write it or not. It comes straight from a diamond salesman." "Go ahead," rejoined the crowd in a critical tone. "This diamond salesman," Lyon continued, "was brought up with Gibboney's. You know Gibboney's. Every diamond ring in the world tries to pretend that it once came from Gibboney's. "Well, this boy - mind you, his name is Ellis - told me the story himself, having witnessed it with his own eyes. On a sunny afternoon a motorcar drives up the front door and out steps a dignified woman of great wealth, judging from her appearance. 'Her demands were simple. She wanted to select a diamond or two, and Ellis brought forth a tray of velvet containing a dozen or more sparklers. Not a stone in the tray was worth less than a thousand, but the dowager duchess looked them over somewhat haughtily and pronounced it as her opinion that they were a somewhat inferior cluster of gems. 'With a sigh of disappointment he prepared to put the tray back in the case, and, in doing so, he noticed that one of the diamonds was missing. "Ellis wriggled his left ear, which is the house signal summoning the head detective, and in a few moments a conference began which included young Ellis, the detective, and the strange lady in black silk. "Ellis explained the circumstances briefly, being withered meanwhile by the glances of the outraged queen. There were eighteen expensive and unset diamonds 'in the tray before the lady pawed them over, and at the conclusion of her examination there were seventeen. "Therefore, it followed that she must have been perniciously active. The strange lady called young Ellis a low person and froze him into a state of speechlessness; but it is somewhat difficult to freeze a head detective at Gibboney's. This latter person, who was of Irish descent, and whose jaw protruded some distance, decided that the society leader must be searched, and, without further formallities, she was led away to the ladies' searching department, where a couple of expert female feelers went through her from Alpha to Zed, exploring herself and her garments to such a fulsome extent that one blushes to write it down. "In an hour the lady searchers opened the door and announced to the officers that if the lady had a diamond about her it must be buried in her heart. Three or four head bookkeepers had spent the searching hour looking over Gibboney's books, and had found out that the missing diamond was No. 66789, vals d at fourteen hundred dollars, and resembling in size a small chestnut. "There was nothing to do but release the strange lady in black silk. Gibboney Company sent down-town to a detective agency for a man. Detective Rattled gravely, and finally gave orders. "He explained that no person should be permitted to enter the silee upon which the case of jewels was located "For three days nothing happened. Detective Ratty stood guard, in company with the head store detective. On the third day a dapper young man in a light blue suit, wearing gray spats and carrying a white cane, pushed open the swinging door and entered. He walked straight down the forbidden alce and paused to converse with young Ellis. "Five minutes later Detective Ratty walked up to the newcomer, placed his hand on his shoulder, and arrested him. The stranger was instantly searched, and immediately the expensive diamond was found!" "Now!" said Lyon, pausing and casting a triumphant glance upon the group of cynical listeners, "how did the detective know that this strange young man had the diamond? Of course, the detective knew where the diamond was; but, in order to make the arrest legally and to get the thief with the diamond on his person, the arrest had to be made just that way. But how did he know?" All of the crowd, except Chick Miller, looked mystified and inquiring. During the latter part of Lyon's sketchy recital Chick Miller had picked up an evening newspaper and had scribbled upon the margin two words in pencil writing. He tore off the bit of margin and handed it to Frank Walton, who read it uncomprehendingly. "You don't know, so it's a story." Lyon went on, after a slight pause. "The woman in the black silk lifted the diamond, rolled it up in a piece of gum she had been chewing, and stuck it under the jewelry-case. The young man had come to retrieve the piece of gum and its valuable kernel. Is that a story or not?" Frank Walton held up the piece of paper on which Chick Miller had scribbled. "Chewing-gum," he read. "Certainly," Chick Miller said. "I knew the answer when you got halfway through the story. The point is, I read that same thing a long time ago, and to prove it I wrote down the answer and handed it to Frank Walton." "But this man Ellis told me that it happened to him," Lyon agreed. "And I tell you I read it somewhere," Chick Miller answered. "Well," Lyon replied. "If you read it somewhere, I suppose it isn't a stiton."

Two delegates from the International Sunday School convention will speak at 10:45 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. The pastor is now busy getting con- ference claims and dollar money together and is asking the members and friends to help him. QUINN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock the pastor occupied the pulpit. He selected his text from Psalms, 51st chapter, 1st and 2d verses. The sermon was interesting and instructive. There were five admissions to the church. Dr. R. W. Wright, one of the general officers of the A. M. E. connection, preached at night. Large audiences were present all day. "The Lord's Bank" is doing a successful business. Won't you be a depositor? Thirty-five hundred dollars was realized from the recent rally. Sunday school, 2 p. m.; Christian Endeavor, 6 p. m. : THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH. Tomorrow evening the annual candle service will be observed. Dr. J. W. Walker, pastor of Brown's Chapel A. M. E. Church, Selma, Ala., was the preacher at the morning worship in the Institutional Church last Sabbath. Dr. Walker's theme was "The Genius and Power of the Christ and Church," as illustrated in Ezekiel's vision of the wheels within a wheel. The sermon was one of great interest and practicability and earnestly delivered. On account of the rain the exercises of the Sigma Upsilon Kappa Society were postponed for a fortnight and Dr. Carey preached a splendid sermon upon "The Value of Human Life." The baby rally conducted by Mrs. I. N. Dunlap was pleasingly arranged and netted more than sixty dollars. Mrs. Dunlap is one of the most ardent church workers in Chicago and her very name attached to any affair is a sure success. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH: Regular services every Sunday, 11 a. m., 8 p. m.; Sunday school, 1 p. m. B. Y. P. U., 7 p. m.; prayer services, Wednesday evening; Teachers' Board, Friday evening; Sunday school picnic, the 4th of July at Jackson Park. HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The people attend this church expecting a helpful and instructive service and they were not disappointed, for Dr. C. Lee Jefferson, the pastor, showed that it is a great "Redemption Purchased by a Great Redeemer" to the edification of all present. The rite of baptism and the Lord's Supper were administered in the evening. Several persons were enrolled as members of the church. Children's day exercises will be held next Sabbath evening. MT. CARMEL G. M. E. CHURCH. At Mt. Carmel C. M. E. Church Sunday the services were well attended. Two able divines preached, one at 11 a.m. and the other at 8 p.m. We anticipate a glorious time Sunday, June 28, which will be our third quarter meeting. At 11 a.m. m. Rev. J. M. Rivers, D. D., of Jackson, Tenn., will preach. At 3 o'clock Rev. Dr. Carroll of the M. E. church will preach the sacramental sermon. Mrs. J. M. Rivers will accompany her husband, Dr. Rivers. Good singing and good preaching will be the features at all services. City ministers and their congregations are invited to be present. ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. Four or five years from now the old and recent members will be more than proud of their relation to St. John. There is to be on the same corner where the old building now stands a big red pressed brick church #thin Tennessee stone trimmings, costing not less than $25,000. All doubt regarding the possibility of this being accomplished has been wiped away, and now all hearts and minds are turned toward this pile of red brick. This effort will mean much to St. John, so let every member and friend get right into it. The children had a big time last Sunday. The "Children's Day" exercises were splendid. Attorney Farrell, together with his son and daughter, furnished some good, lively music for the occasion. A large audience was present to greet the little ones. Members and friends of St. John were indeed glad to hear of the improved condition of Brother Edward D. Gray of 6203 Loomis street, who met with a serious accident while at work last Thursday. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery. GRACE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Mr. T. T. Taylor will sing bass with the choir. Mrs. Willie Sloan sang a solo, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," last Sunday morning. The Sunday school sent several delegates to the Sunday school convention being held here this week and we hope for an interesting report from them.

D., president of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga., will preach Sunday at 11 a. m. At 3 p. m. will be the Cradle Roll services, and Rev. G. F. Woodson, dean of Payne Theological Seminary, Wilberforce, Ohio, will deliver a sermon. In the evening Rev. C. D. Mason or Rev. C. H. Morris will occupy the pulpit. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Rev. H. J. Callis, D. D., Pastor. In the absence of our pastor, Rev. H. J. Callis, who was in attendance at the annual conference which convened in Windsor, Ont., the services at the church were conducted by Rev. A. J. Donaldson of Terre Haute, Ind. The morning service was well attended and a very helpful sermon was enjoyed by all present. Several persons manifested a desire to become followers of the Lord. The afternoon service, conducted by the Gospel Choir, at which Rev. Fenwick preached, was of a high spiritual order. On account of the weather the evening service was much depreciated in attendance. Rev. and Mrs. Callis returned from the annual conference Tuesday morning, also the P. E. Rev. R. P. Christian; J. W. Murphy, our church delegate; Miss Lillian Browder and Mrs. Violet Carter, who were also in attendance at the conference. They report a very pleasant session and little or no change in appointments this year. Rev. Callis has been returned; Rev. R. P. Christian is still presiding elder of the district. The following conference appointments were made from this local church: Mrs. H. J. Callis, district president of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society; Mrs. Sarah Harris, Mrs. Belle Davis, Mrs. Esther Chapman, Mrs. Alice Brown, daughters of conference; Mrs. J. M. Norris, district president of the Varlick Christian Endeavor. The next session of the annual conference will be held in Walters A. M. E. Zion Church, this city. The revival services that have been conducted by Rev. Donaldson will close with this week. Services for Sunday will be as follows: Rev. Callis will preach at 11 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. Sunday school at 1:15 p. m. Varich Christian Endeavor at 6:30. ST. LUKE M. E. CHURCH. Services were well attended Sunday. Many were out in the morning and heard a splendid sermon delivered by the pastor. At 3 o'clock a memorial service was held for the late Dr. James Rowe, head of the City Missions of the M. E. Church. Because of the intense interest our beloved friend had in the race churches, and especially in St. Luke, Revs. A. Menge and Lewis thought it fitting and proper to hold the service at St. Luke. Representatives from St. Mark, Fulton Street, St. James and South Park M. E. churches were present. Mrs. Rowe and a friend were also present. Dr. C. B. Mitchel, pastor of St. James M. E. Church, was the first to appear on the program. He spoke most earnestly of the broad-mindedness of Dr. Rowe and his love for Christian service, and also stated that whenever seen, at morning, noon or night, he was about the King's business. Dr. Brushingham of South Park M. E. Church also spoke briefly and encouragingly and was followed by the orator of the afternoon, Rev. J. W. Robinson of St. Mark, who spoke very highly of the friendship that existed between him and Dr. Rowe. Rev. Carroll could not be present, but wasably represented by Dr. Cameron, who urged the membership and friends to carry out Dr. Rowe's slogan, ten churches for the people of Chicago. The choir rendered several contributions of Dr. Rowe, one of which was his favorite. We hope to have these gentlemen with us again in the near future. Last Sunday was one of the greatest days in the history of St. Luke. Church editors should be brief and pointed in their articles. Remember that rallies to be and entertainments that appear in these columns must be paid for in advance.

HARRISON—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, William Henry Harrison, and also of my darling baby, Thomas H. Harrison, both of whom departed this life three years ago. The relentless death among us comes And bitter grief imparts, It has taken my darling ones from my home, Death of F. L. Gale's Son. Richard Leslie Gale, aged 5 years 9 months and 21 days, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Gale, 2838 Michigan avenue, died Tuesday at 8 p. m. Moses Samuel Dead Mr. Moses Samuels, a well known and highly respected citizen, died at Provident Hospital Thursday. Funeral services will be held Sunday from his late residence, 6501 Rhodes avenue. Veteran Trainer Dead Lewis Clark, veteran trainer of policemen and of prize fighters, died Sunday at his residence, 3541 Prairie avenue, after an illness of a year, due to cancer of the head. He was one of the best known men in the sporting world. He was a friend of "Big Six" and taught many members of the police department the many art of self-defense and numbered among his patrons many fight winners of both races. George McFarow, the news dealer at 3800$^{1}$ State street, is another friend who mourns for this well known character. The Late Earl Murray Earl Hollingsworth Murray, who departed this life June 8, at 11:30 p. m., was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Murray and was born April 12, 1892. At an early age he gave evidence of a mind of rare receptiveness and observation, together with a disposition to deal justly and fairly with his fellows. His education began in the Wilberforce Educational Institute of this city, where he was prepared for the Central School. In this school, through natural ability and application, he took front rank among his classmates and had the honor and distinction to win the gold medal in 1908. In the Collegiate Institute he was noted for proficiency in his studies and again occupied a leading position in his classes. This intellectual progress naturally excited an ambition to enter some profession, and he had chosen medicine as his future vocation. Aside from his rare mental abilities there were prominent traits of character which stand out boldly in this day and generation. Allowed by his parents every opportunity to go and come whenever he chose, Earl always returned the same pure, chaste boy that went out. Last, but not least, was the Christian life that he led during the last three years of his allotted time, which sustained him during his long conflict with disease and finally gained for him an everlasting abiding place. Surely this must be a consolation to his parents to have given to the world a son of such excellent character and example—The Daily Planet, Chatham, Ont. (Earl Murray was the brother of Edgar Murray, the enterprising expressman, 3153 State street, who returned last week from attending the funeral.-Ed.) Great Educator's Advice Children should not leave school without knowing what good books are, and without having their imagination, which is the great power with children at a certain age, so awakened and directed as to insure at least some degree of interest and culture broader than the education that is limited to their business expectations, and tending to govern conduct on general principals rather than on impulse—G. Stanley Hall. Candid, at Least For commercial cander and unconscious telling of the truth it is hard to beat some of the circulars received from various European resorts. Often they are translated literally from the foreign languages into English, and the results are a delight. One of these advertisements of a Hungarian summer resort tells us that it charges "Moderate prices, except during the height of the season!" Parable of Life There is a wireless telegraph apparatus in a certain home and the boys explain that they can only receive but not send. "It takes power to send, and power costs." So they fling out their aerial to catch messages from far and near, and never send a message in return. The incident is a parable of life. What Noah Overlooked. If Noah had swatted those two flies as they started up the ark's ganglank he would have saved a heap of trouble. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER TOO OUTSPOKEN ON STAND Testimony of Jacob Riis Won Verdict for the Right, Though It Made Him the "Goat." The late Jacob A. Riis was a good story-teller, but there was one story that he used to tell to his friends with especial glee, even though he was the "goat" of it. It seems that soon after he took up his residence on Long Island he decided to build a house. He went to an Austrian, whom he had known in the days when he was poor and friendless, and who had since prospered. Riis asked for a loan on mortgage. Riis' friend insisted that the money should be regarded as a gift. Riis would not consent, and the matter eventually was left as a loan (of which no written record was made), which was to be paid back at the borrower's convenience. "Years passed," Rils used to add, "and somehow I never had the money to pay my friend. Then I heard he was ill, and went to see him. I found that he had become estranged from his family, and had many talks with him regarding his expressed desire to leave his property to distant relatives in Austria. Incidentally, he again told me that his loan to me was not to be repaid. Eventually he made a will, in which the bulk of his estate was given to the people in Austria. "Well, my old friend died, and, of course, the family contested the will, alleging that the testator was of unsound mind. The Austrian crowd learned of my intimacy with him and of the fact that I had seen him often toward the end of his life, and I was called as a witness at the hearing of the suit to upset the will. I took the stand and told as fully and as frankly as I knew how of my relations with the dead man and of the talks I had with him, making it clear that he was sound in mind if not in body, and knew what he was doing when he left his money outside the immediate family. Incidentally, in talking of my old friend, I told the whole story of the loan of years before. "And would you believe it," Riis always finished with a chuckle, "when those Austrians won their suit and got possession of that estate, the very first thing they did was to demand from me payment of that unrecorded loan? And, by golly, I paid it, too!" Was a King's Hiding Place. Discovery has been made in a village in Hertfordshire, England, where, hidden in the old oak roof timber of a cottage a curious construction resembling a beehive was brought to light. It is made of wipes of straw, tied together and held in place by split brambles and is in fairly good condition. Considering its age, it is yet strong and rigid. This cottage, known as Double cottage, has always been credited with a history, as one of the places where Charles II was hidden while flying from Cromwell and his army after the royalist defeat at Worcester. The presence of the immense straw beehive was unsuspected until now. One theory prevalent in the village is that the king concealed himself in the barrel until danger had passed, and another that it was used, as a sax, place for the keeping of the royal jewels. It is known as a matter of history that Charles II actually stayed for a short time at Mornington court, to which Double cottage is adjacent. The cottage must therefore have been familiar to him. This fact gives some color to the notion that in troubled times the king might have sought shelter within its walls. First New York Printer The first printer in New York and Philadelphia was William Bradford, who was born in Leicester, England, May 20, 1663. He was a Quaker, and emigrated to America about 1682. He set up his press in Philadelphia, and in 1687 printed an simanac. He fell under the displeasure of Philadelphia, and, after being acquitted of a charge of seditions libel, he removed to New York, where in 1698 he became the first printer in the American metropolis. His first shop was at 81 Pearl street, but later he removed to Hanover square, where in 1725 he issued the first newspaper printed in New York—the New York Gazette. Bradford died in New York in May, 1752, having survived his paper by several years, and was buried in Trinity churchyard. His tombstone has been removed to the rooms of the New York Historical society, but an exact copy of the original may be seen by visitors to old Trinity. Shoured Wealth of Egypt The khedive's tour through the Delta, which he has now completed, has shown in a remarkable manner the wealth of the land owners in the provinces. In many places private individuals decorated the roads over which the khedive motored for distances of several miles. Coffee was served in cups worth $3,000; the chair in which the khedive sat during brief visits to the country houses had in many cases cost from $500 to $1,000, and one pasha who entertained the khedive for half an hour is alleged to have spent $50,000 on the preparations, while another borrowed cannon from the Egyptian army and fired a salute as his highness arrived. In many places the crowds were so great that the khedival motor car was unable to proceed. Frequently the fellahin (peasants) kissed the car to demonstrate their loyalty. Bila's Tribute to His Wife In "The Making of an American," published two years before the death of his first wife, Jacob A. Rils wrote of her as David Copperfield might have written of Agnes. He said: "I dreamed a beautiful dream in my youth, and I awoke and found it true. My Silver Bride they called her just now (1903). The frost is upon my head; indeed; hers winter had not touched with its softest breath. Her footfall the lightest, her laugh the merriest in the house. The boys are all in love with their mother; the girls tyrannize and worship her together. The cadet corps elect her an honorary member, for no stouter champion of the flag is in the land." Old Gentleman's Exceedingly Neat Rejoinder to Tactless Remark Made by Nephew. There is an old gentleman in Philadelphia approaching the ninety mark who still finds much zest in life, and, having retained all his faculties, he feels that a few of the physical disabilities of age are of small account. His nephew is a man of small tact, a fact which has always aroused the lire of the old man. A few weeks before the old gentleman's eighty-ninth birthday this nephew, who had been overweighted with business cares for years, started on a trip to Europe that was to consume a year. "I have come to say good-by," announced the nephew to the old man. "I am starting abroad to be gone a year—perhaps longer. I thought I might never—well, you understand—I wanted to be sure to see you once more." Whereupon the old man leaned forward, fixing his nephew with his bead-like eyes. "BILL," he said impressively, "do you mean to tell me the doctor doesn't think you'll live to get back?" Directory of Minerals Every city has a directory of its inhabitants. If you do not know a person's name but do know that he is a paperhanger, the classified business directory will locate him for you. A directory of the useful minerals in the United States, on much the same plan, has just been published by the United States Geological Survey. If you want to know where any one of the 400 useful minerals occurs, this directory gives the list of localities in each state where your mineral will be found. This publication should be useful to many classes of people in many ways. If someone wants to sell you stock in a Texas oil company the report will tell you in what counties in Texas oil is produced and in what other counties it may eventually be found. If your wife wears a bloodstone lavalliere, the report gives you the only locality in the United States where that stone is known to occur. If you want to manufacture plaster of paris or need lime for your back paste, this report will tell you where to find the gypsum and gives the location of your nearest limestone. Geta Tardy Recognition Anne Hutchinson, whom a Boston writer designates as the "Puritan protagonist of feminism," is to have a statue among the other Boston worthies. She is also deserved. 'by another writer as the "is," usual ancestor of every woman's alliance; indeed of every organization in the land for patriotic or social or intellectual or religious conference and improvement.' She organized the Woman's club, the first one being held in her house, and she talked so plainly that she was banished by Winthrop, and in March, 1638, went forth into the woods where she was finally killed by the Indians. First Hours of Sleep the Best. It has been proved conclusively that the first hours of sleep are deeper than the rest and that with the length the tendency to wake at any noise increases. From this follows the recuperative value of the few first hours of deep sleep and the explanation why men of great energy like Napolon, Frederick the Great and Virchow were completely satisfied with a sleep of from three to four hours.

FENTON JOHNSON OFF FOR NEW YORK Chicago's Young Poet on Short Visit to Parents—American and Foreign Press Praise Him. Fenton Johnson, author of "A Little Dreaming," who resides at 2026 Vernon avenue, has been in the city two weeks visiting his parents. Mr. Johnson was educated in the public schools and at an early age began writing poetry. Today he is one of the recognized poets of this country. The following are the critics from writers in London and America. Mr. Johnson will give readings in various cities in the East. He leaves tonight for New York. Press Comments. "Mr. Johnson is a young Colored poet of America; some of his verse is in the formal cultivated English, some in the corrupted language of the American Negro. The latter rings true; it expresses with singular intensity the joys and sorrows of a subject race." — London Literary World, April, 1914. "A Little Dreaming' gives promise of a true poetic gift, a natural, spontaneous lyricism, with the same distinguishing racial qualities that characterize the work of Paul Laurence Dunbar. Many of the lines are melodious, with the primitive, plaintive reedness of the Negro 'Sirituals' of slave days. The chant-like form is effectively used, as in his lament for Dunbar."—American Review of Reviews, January, 1914. "A genuine lyric quality of a pleasing, though primal, sort, and a sincere note of devotion to the Negro race."—Poetry Journal, Boston, March, 1914. "Praiseworth in the ways of imagination, mysticism and romance."—Chicago Daily News. "Mr. Johnson is more successful in the dialect."—Boston Transcript. "Here and there are bits of real singing and the hint of an unusual message, as in "The Ethiopian's Song.""—The Crisis. "A singer of culture, sympathy and humanitarianism."—Indianapolis Freeman. IN CASE OF A TIE. In case of a tie in the city, the judges shall decide which of the two shall receive the diamond, ring and the other contestant will be awarded a gold watch. The same condition will govern the contest as to who is the most popular girl in the United States.

Popularity Contest For Girl In Chicago May 9th, and Ends Aug. to Contest Editor, The Defender, 3159 State St., Ill. "The most remarkable achievement in years."—Illinois Chronicle. "Mr. Johnson is one of the brightest young men of the race, and his initial effort in the field of letters is especially commendatory."—Chicago Defender. "When the young poet brought his verses to me I felt that a new singer had come among us, slinging of love, of passion, of joy and sorrow, sounding the depths and climbing the heights. In the brighter passages exist the deft touch of the born artist, while in the deeper moments he makes sentient the emotions of the soul—a soul that has lived and suffered."—Josephine Turck Baker, Editor of Correct English. Apropos of short story work: "You have a good, easy, natural style, and your dialect is excellent. The feeling, too, is good, and I like your attitude of sincerity toward your subject."—Alice Hegan Rice, Author of "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." "I will say at once you have the real singing gift." - Modeste Hannis Jordan, Editor of the Writer's Magazine, New York City. "You have a gift of pleasing rhyme and your verses are to be commended for simplicity, purity of thought and expression. You recited well the other evening, and gave us much pleasure who listened. I doubt not you will find much happiness in your versing and confer much pleasure on others." -Cella Parker Wooley, President of Frederick Dongnang Center, Chicago, Lecturer and Author. "We have enjoyed reading your verses." -Wm. R. Kane, Editor of The Editor, Ridgewood, N. J. EDITOR'S SCHOOLMATE IN CHICAGO FOR STUDY Prof. Joseph Buckley of Claffin University, Orangeburg, S. C., and a classmate of Editor R. S. Abbott when a student there, is visiting Chicago.

JACKSON Unusual Condition in Third Legislative District—Re-election of Present Incumbent Cannot Be Assured Unless Various Elements Unite. ANOTHER CANDIDATE WOULD BE HURTFUL Right of Independent Voters' League to Nominate Another Man is Unquestioned, but Writer Thinks No Good Purpose Would Be Served. By A. N. Fields The Third legislative district presents an unusual political condition by reason of the survival of the spirit which had its birth in the independent political movements of the two last compaigns. It must, however, be seen by even a casual observer that unless there is a getting-together of the various elements of the Republican party the election of Robert R. Jackson cannot be assured. There are a number of honest men who are inclined to put forth an effort looking forward to the running of a candidate backed by what is known as the Independent Voters' League. The right of these gentlemen to foster the interest of some particular candidate admits of no debate. It is, however, a fact, and indisputably so, that such conduct upon their part will be a political blunder. They could not hope to nominate their candidate, and at best would only serve to prevent the nomination of any colored man in the Third legislative district. The political situation has assumed such a grave and acute aspect as to make it imperative upon every Republican editor to use his own best office in bringing about harmony within the ranks of the Republican party. Men who are honest in their convictions have fought bravely and contended for certain race recognition, and, while they did not achieve the goal of their ambition, they, nevertheless, have set the candle upon the highway and the bread that they have cast upon the water will be seen and gathered many days hence. The Need of Harmony. The Need of Harmony. For them to combine their forces in a forlorn fight will only result in losing of race representation in the next general assembly. It must be admitted by all who have the best interests of the race at heart that, regardless of the difference of political opinion, we cannot afford at this time to permit anything which might savor of selfishness result in the loss to the race of its rightful representation in the general assembly. It is now argued, and no doubt will be argued, that the refusal of Major Jackson to support the colored candidates in the alderamic primary and subsequent elections justifies the forces who endeavored to bring about their election in withholding their support at this time from Representative Jackson. There is, another side to this question which, when viewed in the light of reason by impartial judges, presents an entirely different view. Jackson had been elected to the legislature by the Republican organization of his district. The same organization having endorsed as its candidate a member of the organization for re-election to the city council, the refusal of his support to the organization candidate suicide for him personally, and for the race in his own organization; and it may be seriously doubted upon if any of the gentlemen who fought upon opposite sides had been placed in like position that they would have surrendered their political future, and the future of the race in the district, on the possibility of either of the candidates' election. The political condition of the entire country justifies the laying down of arms by all factions of the Republican party in the interest of the race and the nation. The disposition upon the part of those in power to deprive our group of people of equal and just treatment before the law is sufficient in itself to reawaken in us the spirit of political harmony among ourselves. We can ill afford at this time to allow our political dissention to run riot with our better judgment and deprive ourselves of the prestige and influence which will come to us as a race through the re-election of Jackson to the legislature. Any other view to the contrary is a step in the wrong direction, and can bring to us no success. Jackson's Record. Jackson's record. It is needless to say, in view of the turbulent political atmosphere brought about by Democratic control, that our interest in the legislature in this state is not safe without the vigilant eye and presence of a member of our race, and it will be political folly on our part to attempt to run another candidate in order to satisfy some imaginary grievance. Representative Jackson's service in the legislature was of the most commendable nature, and as such received the endorsement of all of the civic bodies of our city. He is by reason of his record justly entitled to re-election, and the voters of the Third legislative district should not permit themselves to be misled on a question of so vital political importance to the interests of the race. The attempt on the part of any man or set of men to disparage the election of Jackson is a movement which can only operate to the disadvantage of our progress as a people, and will result in the election of two members of the white race, and surely we will not permit ourselves to be blinded to the best interests of our people by factional strife.

Davis was the choice as a teacher but in twenty-four hours of reaching her she had accepted a better paying position. She is one of the most scholarly women of our race. There are two places to be filled: principal of the preparatory department and the music teacher. The three educators that were elected are of some of the best material. They are well qualified. The school matters at this institution are not settled; there will be many changes before the scholastic year is closed, or really opened. State Grand Chancellor A. L. Garvin of Harrodsburg was the guest of the city on business. Prof. Garvin was not feeling very well while in the city. We hope he has improved since. * * * Rev. C. C.

DISMOND WINS FOR CHICAGO UNIVERSITY Takes the Quarter in 49 Flat—Removes All Doubt as to Coach Stagg—American Giants Win—Other Team Notes. By Frank A. Young. By Frank A. Young. H. Binga Dismond, freshman at the Chicago University, entered into the Grant Park games and took first place in the trial heat of the 440-yard race in 50 seconds, and came back later, winning the final against a strong field in 49 fat. Dismond ran one of the prettiest races seen here in many a day. Coming from behind in the final spurt, he brushed past the entire field, winning (with an easy stride, holding the crowd breathless so sensational was his work. He was the only Maroon athlete to get placed, and in so doing he has placed Chicago University in fourth place, tied with Wisconsin. Dismond by his hard work and sincerity has removed a barrier that has long been standing. Coach A. A. Stagg has been accused of prejudice, and the proof that some of the people took for it was that one never saw a dark face on any of the teams. Dismond, who won his freshman numerals this year, has an entirely different opinion of him, and also has Dr. Spencer Dickerson, who won his "C" on the track. One thing against most of the young Colored athletes is that they want these heads of the athletic departments to offer them the inducements without showing their ability. We have the greatest praise for Mr. Stagg and wish him the best of success with all his teams. 0 CHAMPION JACK JOHNSON As he Will Appear in the Ring Tunight. Grace won from the second U. P. team 9 to 7, with Wilson in the box. The Junior team also won. This time the youngsters played brilliant ball. Bell was the batting star, while Andrews pulled off some sensational fielding. Paul Bronson weakened in the sixth and gave way to Wilson, who held the Buena Parks scoreless the remaining three innings. The youngsters pulled off a double play in the first, Manning to Bell to McDougal. The score: Grace. . . 1 1 1 2 4 2 4 1 * - 16 14 4 B. P. . . 0 0 2 0 2 3 0 0 - 7 6 6 Henderson's team lost to the Parks Sunday afternoon 10 to 5, the whole team playing loose ball. Washington, formerly of the Grace team, started for Henderson, but was forced to retire in favor of Foster. This team will play "Doc." Plummer's nine Sunday afternoon. McDougal, the star pitcher of Calumet high, and Blultt, the great little catcher and hitter of the Lane "tech," will be two new additions to the Grace team. It took ten innings for the American Giants to defeat the West Ends Sunday. The score was 2 to 1. Lloyd's catch of Beck's drive was the feature, for it saved the game. The score: Am.

BEAVERS PLAY 13 INNINGS (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Cicero, Ill., June 26—The Beaver A. C. of Chicago and the Nector A. C. of Cicero staged one of the fiercest baseball battles last Sunday ever seen at the latter's grounds. A young cyclone, which frightened the big city boys, put an end to this nerve-racking contest in the thirteenth, when the score stood 4 to 4. For seven quick innings the Beaver warriors failed to dent the rubber, the score being 3 to 0; but they soon got next to the southpaw delivery and pounded in four runs. Mr. H. Hershberg, general manager, was a great factor in this seventh round by his constant chatter with the home twirler. The Nectors tied things up in the last part of the ninth, but T.

The simple announcement that "it is in the memory of Dunbar" should be sufficient to crowd any auditorium with members of the race who sincerely love to honor genius. Every nation has had its poet, and proudly do they reverence them and perpetuate their memory in bronze and stone. To the Afro-American was given Paul Lawrence Dunbar. A few appreciate the works of this ebony-hued philosopher who told life's story in tender poem and story, but to the masses goes out the cry to honor this gifted youth. The annual memorial arranged by Mr. Julius N. Avendorph will be held at the Institutional Church tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at 6 o'clock. Prof. George Burman Foster of the University of Chicago, whose address at Orchestra Hall a year ago started Chicago, will be the speaker. Musical numbers will be furnished by Mme.

CAREY DENIES LA SALLE STREET BANK STORY Explains "List" Published in Tribune and Other Daily Papers About $1,000 Loan—Personally Never Borrowed from Trust Company. In a news story of the La Salle Street Trust Company troubles in the Chicago Tribune Monday appeared the following item: "Political Preachers 'Borrow' "There are a couple of political preachers in Chicago who are depended on by Republican and Democratic politicians to control the Negro vote. One of them is the Rev. A. J. Carey. Another is the Rev. J. Gray Lucas. They dropped into the bank one day and went away with $1,000 cash. The bank's receiver has their note (unsecured) for the loan." Rev, Carey Replies. Rev. Carey Replies. Thursday Rev. Carey wrote the Chicago Defender as follows: "Chicago, June 22, 1914. "Editor Chicago Defender; In view of the fact that a misleading statement appeared in the columns of the daily press in which it is indicated that I obtained a loan from the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank, I am sending to you a copy of an article which I have today mailed to each of the papers publishing this list. "The facts are that personally I never borrowed a penny from the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank, and never influenced any person to make a deposit there." "The communication, however, to the daily papers speaks for itself. It follows: Letter to the Tribune. 'My Dear Sir: In view of the statement in your issue of today, giving my name, in connection with that of J. Gray Lucas, upon a note in the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank, will you kindly do me the justice of publishing the following: "Mr. Lucas is not a preacher, but an attorney, who for twenty years has been practicing at the Chicago bar. Some time since Mr. Lucas desired to obtain a loan. He was acting as attorney for the administratrix in a case involving several thousand dollars. He made an assignment to the bank of his fees in the case, of the interest of two of the heirs, and the administratrix made an assignment of her fees in the case, of all which papers were attached to the note as collateral. My signature was given more as evidence of my faith in Mr. Lucas' ability and integrity than as a guarantee of the payment. I had recommended others who had made loans and had promptly cared for them when due. No Political Connection. There was no political connection between Mr. Lucas and Mr. Lorimer in this loan. It was merely a business transaction. And I can see no slim or crime in recommending or even endorsing a note for a friend when you believe in his ability and integrity. It may not be good business judgment. I may have been represented to you as a 'political preacher.' I do not deny that I have been very deeply interested in the civic and political affairs of this city, state and nation. There are more than 70,000 colored people in Chicago, more than 100,000 in Illinois, and more than 10,000,000 in the nation. In many states decidedly discriminatory laws are being enacted, and even in the federal government segregation is now being practiced against the colored employees. A Few Good Men. "When I came to Chicago sixteen years ago I learned from those in position to know that there were certain white men in this city who were disposed to give the Negro fair play. Among these were Martin B. Madden, Frank O. Lowden, Marcus Kavanaugh, Elbridge Haneey, William Lorimer, et al (Republicans); Edward F. Dunne, Carter H. Harrison, Edward O. Brown et al. (Democrats). At first I could see no good in any Democrat because of Southern traditions and my Southern training. When, however, I had watched the course of the Democrats, as well as Republicans, named above, and saw that they were true to humanity, whether clothed in black skirts or white, I became an ardent supporter, regardless of their political party creeds. Fair Play for Race. "I voted for and advocated each of these men long before I knew either of them personally. I have never voted for nor advocated any man whom I did not feel was interested in civic betterment, in the community's uplift and was disposed in his heart to give my people fair play. White ministers have been active politically. Many of them have been elected to state legislatures, members of congress and even governors of states. Is it a crime for a Negro minister, who loves his people and is interested in their securing their just and equal rights, to advocate the claims of men whom he believes will deal fairly with the people of his race? Respectfully, "A. J. CAREY." MRS. GLADYS REESE RETURNS FOR SHORT VISIT. Mrs. Gladys Reese, wife of Charles Reese, formerly of this city but now prosperous farmers at South Bend, Ind, is in the city on a short visit. Mrs. Reese came to visit her mother, but she never tires of talking about their four-acre farm, the pigs and chickens.

There never was or never will be but one race, that is, the hu- man race. All human beings are descendants of Adam and Eve, But hevertheless there are 2,832 nationall- ties speaking different languages. But all of them have one great power we call God, which is an over- ruling power, mighty creative power, ready to give comfort to those in sor- row, knowledge to those that seek light, and relief to those that are in despair, Every human belng must have some kind of faith, as no human can go on his own abilities without being Seeelved. Whether he worship in a church or shrine, temple or on the mountain top does not make any difference, or whether these devotees of these religions pray after one manner or another, All strive with uplifted thoughts to prove worthy of an unseen Spirit. Although some claim they can see whom they pray to, you may call it God, Buddha, Drag- on, Witch, Om, Abijah, Jehovah, or “Abjab.” In the great Ethtopian classic play called “Ahjah” you will be shown all kinds of faith, even the’ phantom of ‘spirits, the sacred urn with the blood of maidens’ hearts that have been preserved for centuries, the burying alive of virgins to be concreted to the great spirit Anjan will con- vince you that there {s no death. It gives you faith and devotion that a reverent soul gives God to draw from the higher sources the magnetic forces which pour upon the mind that Teaches out to the infinite. Love is immortal. The chain that reaches and unites the past with the present is pate of gold, diamond, pearls and rubles Yery beautiful. More beautiful is the spirit-blossom for the sweet love-budding of earth. The memories of incarnate life, maternally pure, cling to your soul as Hngering melo- dies from inspired minstrels, Pass- ing early through the pale-curtained doorway of death to your poor cottage in the upper kingdoms of immortality, rapid and rhythmic will be thy march of progress. ¢ But the Creator of the gods is also the Father of everything else—the world being an imitation visible to the onter senses of an archetypal model. By considering that angels, demons, and souls are different names for the same being you will clear away much superstition from the Ah- jah! Death is the greatest of liberties. It is also the furthest progress. Death is a higher step for all who have lived upon the height. This is from the Ethiopian Obi conversing with the pale horse of death Bossum —Luther holding converse wtih devils in his garret at Wittenburg, Pascal shutting out the view of the infernal regions with the screen of his cab- inet. In the “Ahjah” we find the key in the Bible of the mysteries of Horeb and Ebron and Ombos, Ezekiel on the Chebar, Jacob In the wilderness. Ahjah through its mysterious lucid- ity of mind produces results which convert a camel driver into a Ma- homet, a country maiden into a Joan of Arc, sand storm on the desert to the Arab to a geni or a seer, a poet Into a prophet. ‘The Abjah is inflamed with divine ecstasy, a phantom of unseen spirits.

Edwards in desertbing the work of the detachment sald: “Private Midkiff was swung over the cliff by a rope the size of a middle finger, followed by Lieut. Camp, Later Lieut. Nichols followed, and then Cor: poral Farmer.

She sat beside a couch, lean- ing forward and talking eagerly. Her lap sas filled with roses.

"It les in your hands, signorita, Ike your roses, to do with as you please.” Marjorio ralsed the roses to her lips, and smiled down! at him, "You are to stay here as our guests tor awhile, did you know that?” he added. ‘“E know. I told Neri last night to tell dad I wanted to stay,” sho sald. “And atl the rest is right on the knees of the gods.

Is there anyone more tied down the other in a business or a profession? So self down, so to speak, to a task, and is attained, by keeping everlastingly a carefully lacking in the woman who finds children. True, children are not always but is the child at fault? As a man women are dangerously idle. They lie her their mind or their affection, and assertion "An idle mind is the Devil of today who live in other worlds to how close to Heaven the voices bring bring them never would such us. "Children are lovely, but they do tie a woman down so dreadfully," was a remark made recently by a childless society woman. What does life hold for such a woman? Did not God will that her arms be filled with children. If not her own, is it not her duty to go out into the highways and byways and find and take to her breast one of the countless little orphans whose hearts cry out to her, whose arms are stretched to encircle her neck? Most women—nearly all women—are at heart mothers. An inscrutable Providence has made them so. The youthful woman is prone to forget a time will come when the frivolities of life will be but a memory and childless she will be unable to conceal the fact that the world to her will ever be hollow and empty to the end. How much stronger, how much more able, is the mother to withstand and shun the temptations of life! When she is sorely tempted to take a misstep there is ever present in her mind the injury her actions will do to her child, and that thought and that thought alone has made many a woman with evil inclinations walk the straight and narrow path. Has made her acknowledge her debt to posterity. The simple truth stands out plainly and boldly that it is impossible to accomplish anything worth the doing in this world without being "tied down." Is there anyone more tied down than the average man, be he either in a business or a profession? Success means a tying of one's self down, so to speak, to a task, and that is the only way success is attained, by keeping everlastingly at it. There is something woefully lacking in the woman who finds no room in her heart for children. True, children are not always well trained and obedient, but is the child at fault? As a matter of fact, too many of our women are dangerously idle. They have nothing on which to center their mind or their affection, and they are living proofs of the assertion "An idle mind is the Devil's workshop." If the women of today live in other worlds than their home could but know how close to Heaven the voices and loving arms of their offspring bring them never would such expressions fall from their lips.

Of course this doesn't mean that together to fight their common enemy that. But it is the H-O-N, as they w the street. It is just these internal s world believe they never will have IT TAKES A LIGHTNING CALCULATOR to figure out just what is what in Mexico, also just who is who. Gen. Villa and Gen. Carranza are not as brotherly as in the past and it is all over the plan on which the constitutionalists' campaigns have been based. It provides that the first chief of the army shall remain at the head of the movement, as provisional president after Huerta has been eliminated, and until an election has been held and the result declared. Of course this doesn't mean that they are not going to band together to fight their common enemy, Huerta. They are a unit on that. But it is the H-O-N, as they would say in the vernacular of the street. It is just these internal strifes that make the outside world believe they never will have peace in this troubled country. Should by any hook or crook it be annexed to the United States, we would truly have a white elephant on our hands. Wolves have been tamed to eat out of your hand, but they are liable to snap at you the moment your back is turned. So we would need a standing army of great numbers to keep them subdued, and for our trouble and expense what would be gained? Nothing commensurate with our loss. This Mexican squabble is a family affair, so the wisest thing for us to do is to keep hands off. WHEN RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPTED by the Detroit branch of the N. A. A. C. P. asking the Young Men's Christian Association to admit "persons of African descent" to full membership, the local paper said: "We have a better suggestion than that, and one which would not be likely to cost the Y. M. C. A. so many white memberships among those who use the athletic department and hot baths. Let the colored people of Detroit organize a Y. M. C. A. of their own and they will find plenty of Christian white people to help them finance it." Christianity, how many things are done in thy name?

D "WIND" hereafter will have a weather forecaster. It is to confusing. Breezes and gales will has a variety of breezes and gales fresh ones, when the air moves for; strong ones, when it moves gales, from fifty-six to sixty-seventy miles. But at seventy is no occasion for the average change in the weather bureau, at all. Those who live in the dis-ian-hour zephyr blow must sieve we who are fanned by lighter-change our wearing apparel to worry. WISE OLD OWLS COULD BE APTLY APPLIED to the members of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World who were in session this week in Toronto, Can. Following are some of the rules laid down. 1. It is the duty of the newspapers first to protect the honest advertisers and the general newspaper reader as far as possible from deceptive or offensive advertising. 2. To sell advertising as a commodity on the basis of the true circulation and the service the paper will give to the manufacturer or the merchant, and to provide the fullest information as to the character of such circulation and how procured. 3. To maintain uniform rates according to classifications and to present those rates as far as possible in a uniform card. 4. To accept no advertising which is antagonistic to the public welfare. 5. To effect the largest possible co-operation with other newspapers in the same field for the establishment and maintenance of the standards. The newspaper that lives up to these rules need have little fear of failure. In America especially we find too much of this rightly termed "yellow journalism." There is something in this world besides the almighty dollar and as newspapers are the pacemakers let them get right first themselves. THE WORD "WIND" hereafter will have little meaning, according to the weather forecaster. It is to be stricken out because it is confusing. Breezes and gales will be used instead. The new scale has a variety of breezes and gales, for instance, of gales there are fresh ones, when the air moves from thirty-four to forty miles an hour; strong ones, when it moves from forty to forty-eight; whole gales, from fifty-six to sixty-five, and storms when sixty-five to seventy miles. But at seventy-five miles it is a hurricane. There is no occasion for the average citizen to be alarmed at this change in the weather bureau, as there is nothing in a name after all. Those who live in the district where those seventy-five-mile-an-hour zephyrs blow must still hike for their storm cellars while we who are fanned by lighter breezes—those of us who are able—change our wearing apparel to suit the occasion. So "we should worry." MOVIES FOR CHILDREN.

The alderman seems to forget that this is a fast age and the women have taken a hand in trying to prove it to him. They say it will let down the bars and necessitate policing of houses where children are barred. After all, mothers and fathers are the best judges of what is best for their offspring and children of the impressionable age have little to lead them astray after the censors have passed on a film. OUTING FOR THE POOR ED CHARITIES estimates the need to give the hundreds of poor outing in the country. Letter sent asking for contributions.

This is real charity and the so this cause can safely feel that award bringing back to the chee and girls who have for their child THE UNITED CHARITIES estimates that $25,000 will be needed this summer to give the hundreds of poor little boys and girls a ten days' outing in the country. Letters have been sent out by the president asking for contributions. One hundred dollars will send five sick mothers with all their children to the summer hospital for a ten days' stay, while $5 will give five to ten poor children outings on farms or in the numerous camps conducted by the organization. This is real charity and the man or woman who contributes to this cause can safely feel that his or her money is doing much toward bringing back to the cheek of the poor, ill-fed, anemic boys and girls who have for their playground the dirty streets or still more filthy alleys, that sun-kissed flush of health and life that comes but with the pure invigorating air of the country. Can we afford not to give to "these the least of our children"? SOME MEMBERS OF THE BURNS DETECTIVE AGENCY will have cause to always remember the Leo M. Frank case at Atlanta, Ga., as the lesson was severely driven home to them that an innocent Afro-American has some rights that even they are bound to respect. Y. M. C.

THE PROPRIETOR OF A LAUNDRY welcomes these hot days for business reasons. But how about the poor employees? IT IS ALL THE STYLE now to be dark and sunburned. Then by the same token most of us are always in style. THIS IS THE SEASON OF THE YEAR that makes you long for the shade of the old apple tree. Keep Healthy BY DR. A. WILDERFORCE WILLIAMS Fast Living—High Pressure. We as a nation are living too fast and too reckless. The stress of our burry-burley, irregular, complex existence, together with our excesses and errors in eating and drinking, are important factors in bringing about early degeneration and death. Dyspeptica We are rapidly becoming a race of dyspeptics. Dyspepsia (difficulty in digestion). A dyspeptic race is more or less a nervous, weak, irritable, mobile race, because any race, individual, individuals or group of individuals whose stomach or digestive organs are out of order are below normal and incapable of rendering full physical efficiency in the discharge of the duties of life. Factors in the Dyspeptic Race. Overphysical and mental strain are fruitful factors in inducing dyspepsia. Fast living, high pressure, too much indoor life, indolence—physical and mental inactivity—abusing our bodies—dissipation—are all great factors to be considered and reckoned with. By reasonable hygienic and common sense precaution, and cultivating those life habits which give a strong bodily resistance, many of these factors which bring about our mental and physical breakdown could be avoided. The Stomach. The stomach is a very important organ, carrying on the economy of life. Every individual should endeavor to be on good, friendly terms with his stomach. The stomach should be fed once in five hours, during the daytime. It should not be overloaded, the food should be well balanced and thoroughly mastLCated before taken into the stomach. The stomach rebels against midnight suppers, late, irregular dinners and suppers. The stomach rebels against being fed too frequently between meals. It requires a definite amount of rest—and it should have from two to four hours' rest between meals. It will sooner or later rebel against beer, whisky, gin, wine, champagne, highballs and old-fashioned toddles, and in fact, all other alcoholic drinks. The abuse of the stomach will soon lead to derangement of the stomach, the liver, kidneys and bowels, and all of the important digestive and eliminating organs of the system. To be strong, vigorous and serviceable to mankind the digestive organs must be healthy and functionating properly. It is said that Rome fell because of disease and sin within more than from foes without. It is also claimed that Waterloo—one of the great decisive battles of the world—was lost because of Napoleon's weak stomach. He was a dyspeptic—his digestive apparatus was out of order. Measure Early examination, early recognition of disease conditions, is one of the best and surest ways of eliminating those factors that bring about early degeneration - physical breakdown and death. Business Man's Sense.—The business men often have their factories examined for detection of any defects in the machinery and have expert bookkeepers go over all books to detect errors and leakage, if any. The bank examiner comes around and examines the books of a bank at intervals (and many of us would wish the banks be examined more often). All railroad engines are examined before starting on the trip and at the end of every division. The wheels on every train are carefully examined for hot boxes. The steam boilers, steamships, are frequently examined for any defects. Every machine used by man that can possibly go wrong and do man harm is subjected to frequent and thorough examination by experts, except the body machine, which is the most wonderfully and delicately adjusted of all the machines. It is well that we inspect our schools and our school children. It would also be well for us to inspect the parents and breadwinners of these children so as to detect the first evidence of being out of touch with Nature, because there are so many people below normal heading for the rock of physical wreckage and complete breakdown. By early examination you will be able to obtain some knowledge of the rocks ahead. Bright's disease or diseases of the kidneys often come on individuals as a thief in the night, and do not make him aware of its disastrous effects until it is too late. An early examination of the urine and blood vessels will give valuable knowledge and may prevent an early breakdown from the effects of these diseases. Frequent physical examination will reduce long suffering and often produce longevity—may add ten to twenty years to a useful and comfortable life, because physical health is one's best asset. Early physical examination by a competent physician will detect the causes before it is too late. The dietetic causes of disease—the social and the occupational causes of disease—will often give the individual information in making changes in his occupation. The bacteriological, the psychological or mental causes of disease through early and frequent examinations can be often offset or detected. The social and domestic demands of our civilization draw heavily upon our brain, nerves and blood vessels and thus make it very imperative that we do everything to conserve our physical and mental resources. We must avail ourselves of all such knowledge as science affords in caring for our body powers. The watchwords of dieting should be moderation and simplicity. Avoid unrest, bad temper, over- THE editorial and advertising departments of the Chicago Defender are now busily engaged daily in compiling comprehensive and exhaustive statistical information which will be used in the big anniversary edition which will be published in July. This special edition will be the first of its kind ever published by any race newspaper, and the primary purpose will be to show the advancement of the Afro-American race not only in Chicago but in the entire world. The edition we expect to be from 40 to 60 pages in size, which will place it on a par with the big metropolitan dailies. Articles by Booker T. Washington and other leading race leaders, as well as whites, will be given conspicuous space throughout, and advertisements from firms and individuals of both races will be presented in a bright newsy way and will be only those worthy of our readers' patronage. We expect to print 50,000 copies of this big edition, and more if necessary. Those desiring extra copies are requested to notify the circulation manager in order that there may be no shortage. This number will be in three colors and will be profusely illustrated with cuts and photographs throughout. WATCH FOR THE DEFENDER'S BIG SPECIAL EDITION, and read it carefully and see who has made the advancement of the race possible. See the live business firms and individuals who are friends of the Afro-American and who are deserving of their financial support.

This year the city of Denver gave away 9,000 shade trees to 2,500 taxpayers of the city, each of whom agreed to plant the trees given him and to give them proper care and attention. For several years Denver has made a practice of donating trees to its citizens; but it was found that in giving the trees out indiscriminately not over 50 per cent of them were planted and cared for. This year, however, the plan of giving only to taxpayers of record, and who would promise to plant the trees and give them care and attention, was followed, and it is hoped will show better results than have resulted from the previous years' experience. The idea of using the public school buildings and grounds as social centers and as places for many of the community activities is growing by leaps and bounds all over the country. The biennial meeting of the Federated Womens' Clubs just held in Chicago adopted resolutions demanding that the public school buildings be thrown open for all legitimate uses by the people. In the discussion preceding the adoption of the resolutions it was stated that the school buildings of the country, admirably adapted, most of them, for community use, and costing the people hundreds of millions of dollars, were used only about two and a half hours a day the year through. In large cities where playgrounds for the children in certain neighborhoods are almost impossible to obtain it is being urged that all school play yards be kept open after schools are closed in order that the children may have safe and suitable places for their outdoor games and sports. As outdoor air and exercise is an important factor in maintaining and promoting the physical health and vigor of the growing child, it is to be hoped that the practice of keeping the school playgrounds will soon prevail in all locations where playground facilities cannot otherwise be provided. The time has passed when the summer resort keeper can feel that he has done all that is needed for his guests' when he provides them with fairly good meals, clean beds and attractive surroundings, with boating, bathing and fishing thrown in for good measure. Now his well-informed patrons will demand freedom from files and mosquitoes, safe drinking water and sanitary conditions that were not thought of a few years ago. So does the world move along the irresistible lines of sanitary progress. This is why that today an outbreak of typhoid fever at a summer resort would bankrupt the proprietor and kill the place deader than a salted mackerel. In the light of what we know today about typhoid and the ways in which it is spread, epidemics of this disease are no longer regarded as visitations of Providence, but as a direct result of ignorance or carelessness, or both. It does not require a very high degree of intelligence to comprehend that a disease which is caused by filth can be controlled and prevented by keeping ourselves and our surroundings clean. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Will the Property Sell? We wish to call the attention of our readers to the beautiful Des Plaines Manor, only 35 minutes ride on the Chicago & Northwestern R. R. from the heart of Chicago. Sole and exclusive owner, our esteemed and worthy citizen, Mr. Herbert H. Webb, Room 712, 192 North Clark street, Chicago. III. One of the greatest features offered as an attraction to those who might consider purchasing a lot in this restricted residential district is the fact that there is not an Afro-American among its population. Upon receiving this announcement from Mr. H. H. Webb we are compelled to inquire of our readers if any one of them have offered to buy in the beautiful Des Plaines Manor, and if so, what was the result of the offer to purchase?

Farming and Prosperity To conserve the soil, to raise abundant crops and an adequate supply of live stock; to study and apply the most efficient and economical methods of production, and to sell the stock only when ready for market, adopting the above as a steady, permanent policy, will contribute more to the prosperity of farmers themselves and to the prosperity of the nation than all other causes put together.
