Special to The Chicago Defender. Douglass, Arizona, July 3.—Everything is quiet in this section. Nothing of moment has occurred to disturb the peaceful serenity that characterized these parts for the past few weeks. The entire 9th Cavalry is doing duty along the border while the 10th Cavalry troops are stationed at Naco, Herriford and Fort Huachuca. The duties of the troopers, however, are lighter, but these seasoned defenders of the Stars and Stripes are ready at a moment's notice for any kind of trouble. Although never blazoned from the housetops the 9th and 10th Cavalries are the pride of the United States army. No finer body of men exhibits in any country and if Uncle Sam ever invades Mexico the only reason they don't mop up will be because they are left behind.

In retaining his hard-won title the most talked of man in America did so amidst the most spectacular surroundings and the greatest audience that ever attended a fight. It was wonderful that crowd, made up of French notables in holiday attire, the usual crowd that always follows the game and the largest number of aristocratic and wealthy Americans who at home would be indignant if the name of the champion was mentioned in their presence. Wealthy Americans Present. The long list of the nobility, including princes, dukes, a marquis or two, earls and barons, is of no interest to the admirers of Jack Johnson, but of the Americans even the newsboys have heard of Ogden Mills, Reggie Vanderbilt, Alfred Vanderbilt, Frank Gould, Herman B. Dwyer, D. A. Reid, Frank Hitchcock, E. H. Thomas, Richard Croker, Jr., Mortimer Schiff, and ex-Senator C. W. Watson of West Virginia. Well, these and many others were there. The great amphitheater presented a wonderful sight, the tiers were thronged with representatives of every element. Women in Handsome Gowns. The singular spectacle was presented of several hundred women in handsome gowns, applauding the two pugilists as they struggled up and down the ring, feinting and dodging and hammering each other. The scene within the Veledrome resembled that which might be expected at an evening of grand opera rather than at a prize fight. Magnificent jewels sparkled on the garments of the women. Some of the fair sex had seen a fight before; some had never witnessed one and these kept up an animated chatter of conversation with their escorts. Native Africans See Go. Here and there were dark faces, some of them natives from Senegal, Dahomey, and the West Indies. Two native members of the Chamber of Deputies from Guadeloupe showed intense interest in the battle, while other dark faces included Prince Dhuleep Singh of India and Omer Sultan Pasha of Egypt. Men came from all sections of the world to see the contest, the first real world's championship ever staged in Paris. Champion's Wife Cheers.

Catholic people in Chicago are entertaining this week a distinguished visitor in the person of Rev. Mother Mary Frances Fieldien of the Oblate Sisters of Providence. Mother Frances arrived in the city Wednesday from Baltimore, accompanied by Sister Consuella Bathlur. They will be the guest of Mother Paul at St. Monica's Convent, 37th and Wabash avenues. This distinguished visitor is the aunt of Mr. Joseph Fieldien, 3546 S. State street, and Chas. J. Fieldien, 3546 Dearborn street. Rev. Mother Mary. Frances Fieldien is from Ontario, Canada. She received her early education in the French schools of Canada. She entered the convent in 1875. From 1875 to 1881 she was employed in the Mother House. In 1881 she was sent to St. Louis to assist in the parochial school at St. Elizabeth's served by the Jesuit Fathers. In 1887 Sister Mary Frances was made Superior and sent to open St. Frances' Orphan Asylum in the western part of the city. In 1894 she was recalled to Baltimore and made prefect of the Academy. Establishment in Cuba. In 1899 Rt. Rev. Archbishop Sbarretti applied for the Oblate Sisters to open a school in Havana, Cuba, just after the American and Spanish war.

C. Napier HOME OF WORLD'S LAST Baptist Publishing House, Found ployment to 150 Young Me Banks and Twenty-five Corp By Ralph W. Tyler. By Raiph W. Tyler. Nashville, Tenn., July 3.—There is a delightful aroma of culture pervading this Fiskelized city that is only equaled by the traditional hospitality of its citizens, and I refer especially to the Afro-American citizens. The atmosphere which dear old Fiske University has germinated here has produced some splendid men and women, and invigorated activity. Nashville has a powerful lever for business progress here in its Afro-American Board of Trade, which evolved from its Business League. I have previously stated that in every city I have visited where there exists a strong, active business organization there one finds business progress. The Board of Trade here, of which that most excellent gentleman, strong and efficient business man, J. C. Napier, is president, has, and is doing much for the race in this city. The Afro-Americans of this city have $7,000,000 in real estate standing on the tax books in their name. Wonderful! They have $3,000,000 in cash on deposit in the local banks here to their credit. Marvelous! They have two banks of their own here that are being efficiently conducted, and which are proving that the Afro-American, as a promoter of financial institutions, is no non-descript. Joe Brown. Horticulturalist. Joe Brown, Mortgailestat. The Dime Savings Bank, of which Dr. R. H. Boyd is president, and J. C. Napler cashier and guiding genius, is the oldest, and so wisely has it been conducted that it were to go into voluntary liquidation today, it could pay depositors dollar for dollar, and pay stockholders, including the sixty-seven per cent dividends already paid, $1.95 for every dollar invested in its stock. Nashville has a race-owned cemetery which for size, beauty and care taken of it surpasses anything of its kind in the country. Nashville has a pleasure park for Afro-Americans purchased, improved and conducted by Preston Taylor that has no counterpart in the country, when you consider area, natural beauty, amusements and character of its buildings and other improvements. Nashville is the home of the Baptist Publishing House, that wonderfully systematized plant, giving employment to 150 young men and women, which was founded by Dr. R. H. Boyd. And this city is the home of the A. M. E. Publishing House whose success has been made secure by Ira T. Bryant's efficient management. The largest nursery and horticulture plant in this city is the one owned and long conducted by Joe Brown, and known far and wide as the Lischy nursery and green houses. The three days spent in this city, carefully investigating every phase of Afro-American life, but especially the race's interest in business, convinced me that the 40,000 of this city have registered a high water mark of business, of economical success equaled by but few communities, and surpassed by none. Here you will find the race actively and successfully engaged as manufacturers, printers, publishers, furniture dealers, electricians, bankers, grocers, real estate agents, merchandising, transfer, theatrical, architects, etc., etc. Taken as a whole, this is a community of Afro-Americans who are strongly religious, but who, as Dr. Boyd has urged, have put business into their religion. Control 25 Corporations. Control 25 Corporations. The religious intensity of the people here is evidenced by the fact that there are 52 Baptist, 37 A. M. E., 3 Presbyterian, 3 Congregational, 1 Catholic, 1 Church of God, 3 Christian, 1 United Brethren and 1 Seventh Day Adventist churches here—a total of 102 churches to keep the good Afro-American of Nashville from unceremoniously invading his satanic majesty's domains. There are thirteen public schools here, and five race colleges, and these employ 147 teachers and professors. Sixty-two physicians preserve the health of the community here, eight dentists look after the care of the community's teeth, and nine lawyers find sufficient civil and criminal practice to maintain good offices and an air of prosperity. Exclusive of the two banks, there are twenty-five corporations in this city of and under race control. It would be pretty hard for any community, however, under the spur of leadership of such men as J. C. Napier, Dr. R. H. Boyd, Preston Taylor, Henry Allen Boyd, A. N. Johnson and Ira T. Bryant, with others, not to make great advance in business as well as in civic pride and education. There is a fine reciprocal feeling existing here between whites and blacks, and I have also learned, in my travels through the country, and especially through the South, that in proportion as the Afro-American engages and makes success in business just in that proportion is the respect of the white man for him increased and a better feeling of affiliation engendered. Millennium Has Not Arrived The millennium has not arrived here, that millennium which will usher in perfect equality and eliminate every kind of discrimination, but the progress being made here by the race in business, and educationally, is the molasses that is attracting the spirit of helpful reciprocation between the two races. I felt just as free in Nashville as I do when I am in some northern city which once, in a remote period, boasted of fairness to the race. A. N. Johnson, the understake whose equipages, in number and appearance, perhaps are not equaled by any other Afro-American in the South, while nominally engaged in burying members of the race, is also energetically engaged in bettering the condition of the living. He is a verile quantity in this ballwick. Preston Taylor, reputed to be the wealthiest man in these parts, because of his hustling—strenuously hustling spirit, his ability to conceive and execute, has contributed greatly to the progress of the race here. And Dr. Boyd, that nestor of racial activity, has been of towering strength in the race development plan evolved by the Afro-American citizens of Tennessee's capital. Business League Begets Spirit. The citizens here have some beautiful residences, and their exterior and interior, as well as the grounds surrounding, evince a degree of culture, refinement and taste one delights to meet up with. Fiske, Meharry and the other three colleges here have done much to improve conditions here, to make for civic betterment and educational progress, but the spirit which the National Negro Business League has injected into practically every race community in the land, is very largely the factor which has conducted to business progress here among the race. An Afro-American population that can boast of possessing real estate to the value of $7,000,000, and cash in banks to the amount of $3,000,000, needs no other recommendation to convince the world that it is a desirable class or that the race is making commendable progress. Some of the other men who are contributing most effectively to business progress of the race in this city are: W. T. Hightower, W. D. Rucker, A. S. Rucker, W. G. Hyms, Wm. H. McGarvick, Felix White, Eugene Price, H. S. Morton, and Assistant Cashier Langston of the Dime Savings Bank. As previously stated, the Board of Trade, as an organization, and each member individually, is a powerful lever for business progress of the race here in Nashville. YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.

Large Crowd Attends Seventh Annual Memorial Meeting Sunday— Prof. George Burman Foster Is Speaker. The seventh annual Paul Lawrence Dunbar memorial meeting was held Sunday evening, June 28, at the Institutional Church, 3825 Dearborn street, at six o'clock. The largest audience that ever attended any one of these meetings greeted Prof. George Burman Foster, of the University of Chicago, who was the speaker. In introducing Prof. Foster the chairman, Mr. Julius N. Avendorph, said: "Prof. George Burman Foster, who will address you this afternoon on the life of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, is a man of an international reputation, and what I most enjoy or appreciate about him is, he has the moral courage to speak his conviction wherever he might be." Prof. Foster said: "I am not a poet, nor do I read poetry, but when I began reading the complete works of the life of Paul Lawrence Dunbar I did not stop until I had finished the book, as I was perfectly charmed with the dialect, which I consider superior to the dialect of 'Bobbie' Burns, the Scottish poet, or Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet." Several poems by Dunbur were read by the professor, and in each instance he dwelt at length in commenting as to the beauty of Dunbur's works and Dunbar as a philosopher. He said Paul Lawrence Dunbur was a pure Negro, therefore the white race could not claim any credit for his wonderful brain or accomplishments on account of having white blood in his veins. At the conclusion of Prof. Foster's address, Rev. Carey asked the indulgence of the chairman, as he thought the audience would feel, as he did, that it would be a disappointment if someone was not permitted to say a few words in response to the magnificent message brought by Prof. Foster. The Hon. George W. Elliott responded with a few well-chosen words that were appreciated by all. The musical program was of the highest order. Mrs. Marle Hyrum sang as she never sang before, and both Messrs. Emanuel and Taylor played beautifully. Rev. John E. Ford of Jacksonville, Fla., offered the invocation and Rev. W. A. Gardner, president of Morris Brown University, Atlanta, Ga., closed the meeting. Masters Charles Jennings, Andrew L. Smith, Jr., and Julius N. Avendorph, Jr., were the ushers. Mr. Avendorph cannot be given too much credit for his efforts to keep alive the memory of Paul Lawrence Dunbur, as Prof. Foster said, doing something worth while. HEALTH NOTES. (Press Service, Department of Health) If there are any fly-breeding places in your neighborhood get after them now. Clean up your own premises and keep them clean. And don't forget that it is your business if your neighbor doesn't do likewise. Keep your garbage cans covered. One uncovered garbage can will attract all the flies for a block away; and if neglected will breed them faster than they can be destroyed. As it is well known that flies convey disease, the model, well-conducted, up-to-date summer resort will have no flies. Moral, do not patronize back number summer resorts. Every child should have the chance to play in the open. One of the helpful things that can be done for the children of the congested areas of a large city is to provide them with suitable playgrounds. Some day, no doubt, society will be so well organized that the preventable diseases will be wholly exterminated. But how soon none can tell. It all depends on the growth and practice of the right kind of health knowledge. It is well known that a water supply polluted by filth is dangerous to use. What more natural then that we should be on the lookout for those agencies that contaminate water and render it unsafe for human consumption. To this end we should note the proximity of privy vaults, pig pens and chicken houses to wells or other sources from which drinking water is taken. Especially are these precautions necessary for those who are spending their vacations at summer resorts, many of which are noted for visible beauties and many invisible dangers. It is a fundamental fact that, speaking in a general way, the communicable diseases are always carried from the sick to the well. Of course, this is not done always, by contact of well persons with those who are sick; but may be accomplished indirectly by handling articles that have been recently handled by the sick; and sometimes through the agencies of food, dust and insects; such as fleas, bedbugs, mosquitoes, etc. Therefore, it is of prime importance that those who are known to be sick should not be permitted to associate with those who are well. In addition to this, as many of the communicable diseases are due to surrounding conditions that can be controlled, we should at all times be careful as to the character of those surroundings. It is clear that we should avoid files and filth. No Profit In Unjust Gain. Prefer loss before unjust gain; for that brings grief but once; this forever.-Child.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER SENATOR WORKS OFFERS BILL TO PROHIBIT TIPS Measure if Passed Would Eventually Mean Better Pay for Pullman Porters, Dining Car Waiters and Other Afro-Americans Employed in Hotels and Restaurants. PRESIDENT TAKES ANOTHER OFFICE FROM RACE. Many Candidates for Position of Recorder of Deeds—Hoke Smith Says There Are No Real Democrats, the Afro-American Only Being One for Spoils. Special to The Chicago Defender. Washington. July 3. — Senator Works of California has introduced a bill in the Senate designed to ostensibly prohibit tips, but which primarily will eventuate in better salaries to such employees in places where tips are taken into consideration in fixing salaries for work done. The bill will especially be of interest to Pullman and dining car waiters, and hotel and restaurant waiters. Section 3 of the bill expressly provides "That it shall be unlawful for any person, corporation, or association so engaged in interstate commerce to knowingly permit any of their employees to receive or accept any tips or gratuities of any kind from any person being served by such common carrier, person, corporation, or association, or to pay any such employee insufficient, unremunerative, or less salary or other remuneration because or for the reason that such employee does or may receive tips or other gratuities from other persons, and such persons, corporations and associations shall make and enforce rules and regulations forbidding and preventing the receipt or acceptance of such tips or other gratuities." Section 4 of the bill provides that the violation of the act shall be misdemeanor and the penalty for violation, in each offense, shall be not less than $10 nor more than $1,000, or imprisonment for not less than one month nor more than twelve months, or fine and imprisonment both. If the bill becomes a law, it will innure to better salaries for railroad waiters, dining car, hotel and restaurant waiters, and directly benefit an army of race employees as well as white employees so engaged. Race Loses Another Office. President Wilson, last week, eliminated another Afro-American from office. This time the man effected is Prof. Geo. W. Cook of Howard University, whose term had just expired as member of the District Board of Charities. The commission is composed of three men, and because the race population is one-third of the District's population, an Afro-American has been a member of the commission. There is no salary attached, the office simply being in the interest of civic betreemment. President Wilson, last Friday, sent the name of a white man to succeed Prof. Cook, who had made a most acceptable and efficient member. Race candidates for the position of recorder of deeds, which Henry Lincoln Johnson will vacate July 1, are getting as thick as autumn leaves. The three prominently mentioned are James A. Ross, of Buffalo and Detroit, and who has affiliated with the Democrats in and out of season, and no matters what the attitude of that party might be with reference to the Afro-American, and Albert Cosey, spoken of as a recent recruit to democracy, and Sully James, a lawyer out in Springfield, Ohio. The latter is being pressed by Senator Pomerene of Ohio. Mr. Cosey, it is stated, is backed by the New Jersey Congressional delegation, Mr. Hudspeth, a big factor in New Jersey politics, and by Bishop Walters. Every mail for the White House brings the names of fresh candidates. So bitter is the fight for the place, it is stated that charges and counter charges are being filed against the leading candidates. James A. Ross, whose democracy's longevity has more of the aroma of tije than any of his contestants, it being charged with many things. M·Ross, it was presumed, would have the backing of Bishop Walters, and it is stated he confidently expected the same. Fight for White Man. Report has it that the good bishop, who mixes politics with religion, has endorsed Cosey, of New Jersey. To add to the discomfiture of the race aspirants, the press and public of this city are making a strong fight for the appointment of a local man, and inferentially against the appointment of an Afro-American. Another rumor entering into the equation is that it is not improbable that the Republican senators would passively aid southern senators in their fight against the confirmation of an Afro-American by absenting themselves from executive session when the appointment came up, and that the Senate committee to which it would be referred may pledgehole the appointment, and thus hold it up. Judge Terrell's confirmation was accomplished by the union of northern Democratic and Republican senators. Republican senators voted for Judge Terrell's confirmation because he was a Republican reappointed. They do not, however, take kindly to an Afro-American who poses as Democrat in these times, and their antipathy may take on the form of indifference that will amount to opposition. Senator Hoke Smith, the Georgia cracker who has been so insistent in demanding of the President that he remove Henry Lincoln Johnson, is reported to have said that there is no such thing as an Afro-American Democrat, and whenever you find a man of the race says he is a Democrat, he is simply a Democrat for spoils. James A. Ross, the Buffalo-Detroit aspirant, is here on the ground, as was conducted to the White House last week by Representative Smith of New York, where he saw the President. The President, however, gave no assurance to Mr. Ross that he "New Freedom" and "psychological state of mind" contemplated handi- over to this patron saint of Democracy the juicy $4,000 position whi- for years has been the especial sine cure for an Afro-American. Enters Editor Manning. It is stated that Sully James, II Ohio Afro-American Richmond who has entered the list, was at one time disbarred from practicing law in Ohio and is thus slightly hobbled for the reason. If true. Bishop Walters is placed in an embarrassing position because of his reported endorsement of Cosey of New Jersey. Playing Cosey as a favorite, in a field of so many sable-hued Democratic goldings is sure to bring sharp criticism down on the head of the Zion Methodists prelate from all of the other "also ran" aspirants. Editor A. C. Manning of the Indianapolis World, a belated rumor brings, is behind the grandstands, warming up to be called into the game. It is rumored that the Indiana senators and House members may remove the blanket from Editor Manning at any time, and make him a formidable contender for the recorder prize. Editor Manning, proverbially close-mouthed, and an adept in the use of gum shoes, it is known, has recently made several incognito trips to Washington. As he never begins firing off his gun as soon as he reaches the woods to announce to the game he is on a hunting trip, these clandestine trips of his to Washington are considered by those old in speculative politics to presage that Indiana's genial and hospitable editor has his weather eye dead set on the recordership job.

Rocap, above mentioned, once managed a boxing club in Philadelphia and it was in his club that the greatest frost in the history of pugilism was pulled, when Kid McCoy, then waning as a leading heavy-weight, was given that greatest of all imported lemons, Herr Placke, to muddle. Placke weighed 340 pounds, and knew as much about boxing as a hog knows about political economy. The faso lasted three rounds when Placke laid down, and 4,000 disgusted fight fans, at $3 per head, filed out into the night. Rocap is a fine criterion—I don't think! Jack Is Wise. Jack fought a careful fight, and the reason that Moran was there at the end of the twenty rounds was not only because he was trained to the minute, but because the champ was too wise to run any chances of breaking his hands with several matches in sight that will probably not him a quarter of a million or so. He would have been using poor judgment had he whaled away and tried to knock Moran's block off. Nothing But Prejudice. I am of the opinion that he could have done so, but he would not have been doing himself justice or living up to the reputation of generalship in the ring for which he is famous. After the battle, one writer claimed that Moran was used as a tool at a stipulated sum, through his manager, McKittrick, and that Champion Jack was to let Moran stay the limit for the benefit of the pictures, in which Jack has a fifty per cent interest. Now, if that were true, then why didn't the writer, knowing of it, expose the whole thing before the fight? He just naturally prevaricated, and his statement is just another sample of the rotten prejudice taken to Europe by a certain class of white people that are only missed from this side by their families, and who are using every means to instill race hatred among the nations who have always been the race's friends. The Best, His Prey. Judging from this last fight, our champion has several years of glory in front of him, and looking back over his record, some of the best fighting material produced by the white people have fallen a prey to his wonder- --- --- PAGE FOUR MANY NEW ENTRIES.

JACK JOHNSON AND AMERICAN SPORTING WRITERS Stories of the Recent Fight Published in Some of the Daily Newspapers Are Nauseating and the Result of Personal Prejudice. Tony Langston Sets Local Scribes Straight and Tells of the Chances of the Remaining White "Hopes" Jeanette and Langford Only Possibilities. By Tony Langston. The battle between Champion Jack Johnson and the widely heralded white hope, Frank Moran, is now history, and the manner in which certain writers on the large dallies have shown their personal race-prejudices has been little short of maseunting. To those who are acquainted with the caliber of some of those whose harangues have been accepted and published by the leading papers throughout the land, the matter is amusing. For instance, Wm. Rocap, in last Sunday's Tribune, declared that Moran was entitled to eight of the twenty rounds fought, and that Johnson was hissed and hooted for holding and hitting in the clinches, and in the same issue of the same paper were the twenty rounds in detail which accorded Jack the entire twenty, with the exception of one which was called "even," although our champ landed three to one during the session mentioned. Can you beat it? Jack has never been accused of foul tactics in any of his battles, and it is hardly 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.

Jack Is Wise. Nothing But Preludice --- ful ability. It is hard to figure who will be sent against him outside of fighters of his own race. If Moran is a sample of the real white hopes of today, then they are a sorry bunch indeed. Jack Blackburn, before his trouble, could have beaten any two of them in one night, and he never weighed over 145 pounds. The fact remains and must be admitted that the three best fighters in the world today are Afro-Americans, viz: Joe Jeanette, Sam Langford and the king pin of them all, our Jack, and if any white hope can get by this trio, he can rightly claim to be the greatest the world has ever seen. Such men as Ryan, Sullivan, Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Sharkey or Jeffries in their best days would have been as putty in the hands of the champion, and here's wishing him success with all the health, wealth and happiness that go with it. M. T. BAILEY RESIGNS FROM TRUE REFORMERS Served Grand Fountain Fourteen Years—Traveled 25,000 Miles in Interest of Order and Collected More Than $100,000—Will Enter Another Line of Business. M. T. Bailey, chief of the Chicago Division and state deputy of Illinois Grand Fountain United Order True Reformers and for fourteen years one of the most ardent workers in that order, has resigned from that organization, said resignation to take effect July 1. This action on Mr. Bailey's part caused surprise in fraternal circles, as he was considered one of the most influential men in the order. He refused to discuss the matter when seen by a reporter for The Chicago Defender. From other sources it was learned that he was not in accord with business methods of the present administrative heads of the order. Floyd Ross, G. W. M. of the order, has accepted the resignation and it is said that Mr. Bailey will enter the real estate business. During his connection with the order the records show that he traveled more than 25,000 miles in interest of the order, organized more than 125 subordinate fountains and rosebuds. He also collected and accounted for more than $100,000 and put 5,000 people into the order. SUCCESS OF THREE AFRO-AMERICANS IN NEW MEXICO D. L. Jackson and Associates Secure Abandoned Mining Property and by Years of Hard Work Developed It Into Good Paying Mill and Mine—A Story with a Moral. Kansas City, July 3.—D. L. Jackson, who passed through this city en route to the coast, is one of the most interesting citizens in New Mexico. Early in 1894, after working in and around mines, he went to White Oakes, N.M., and with two other men took an option on two mining properties known as the North and Castle Homestake Mines. These properties had been worked for a time by an Eastern syndicate, but were considered worthless. Mr. Jackson and his associates opened them up and after ten years' labor have on them a 20-stamp mill and a 100-ton cyanide plant. They also discovered coal about three miles away and have erected an electric plant that supplies power to both mill and mine. It is said that their daily output is 75 tons and that they supplied White Oakes with its first electric lights and power. YOU CAN! You can succeed, but the YOU is the most important thing. In literal application it means that every man can advance himself by courage and effort. To succeed we must have the inspiration ourselves. We must see a great future and believe in it; in other words, we are no greater than our mental horizon. We can advance only as far as our vision will carry us. The Defender takes great interest in presenting to its readers the name of Mr. D. L. Jackson of White Oakes, New Mexico, who is a mining man of prominence, being secretary and treasurer of a mining company there. Although he is an Afro-American. The news article tells its own story in simple language, which we herewith print. Thus it is proven that the great mountains and plains of the West bid the young man with great ambition to come hither where opportunity is equal to all. Here thousands of opportunities await you and I. ALDERMANIC LEAGUE. The Second Ward Citizen's Aldermanic League held an enthusiastic meeting Wednesday night, June 24.

Miss Mallet speaks and writes French and German fluently and has completed a course of music under Prof. George Johnson. Miss Mallet made a charming debutante buge in a creation of white shadow lace over pink satin. The young ladies who assisted her and her mother in receiving were Miss Zenella Taylor, Miss Ethel O'Grady, Miss Valenclene Sims and Miss Artie Kraft. Villa Prottily Decorated. The house was a perfect garden of roses mixed with maiden hair fern in such an artistic manner that they appeared as if growing from where they were placed. A large dining table was arranged for ten with smaller tables seating four placed in the dining and adjoining room. The table decorations were white and pink. The affair was one of the swellest of the season and will be long remembered by all Miss Celia Mallet, Whose Dinner-Da nc who were present. Miss Mallet was evidently a general favorite with her classmates and friends which was demonstrated by the many choice and useful gifts for which she desires to express her profound thanks. The young people spent the evening in dancing and when the last number was played a sigh of regret was heard which was an evidence of their happiness as well as a compliment to their host and hostess. Miss Mallet expects to enter a business college during the summer. The music for the affair was furnished by Messrs. William Browne and Clarence Black. Julius A. Avendorph was master of ceremonies assisted by Frank B. Waring. The Guests Present. Those present at the dinner were Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. Waring, Mrs. J. W. E. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Julius N.

BASE BALLS AND BATS FOR IOLIET PRISONERS Recently, in response to a request from an inmate of the state penitentiary at Jollet, The Chicago Defender made an appeal for old baseballs, bats and gloves in order for the inmates to play the great national game. If any of the things named have been sent to the warden no word has reached this office. This week mail, however, brought a letter from R. S. Bishop of Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, enclosing one dollar for that purpose. Mr. Horace Bronson, manager of the Grace baseball team, will be asked to co-operate in its expenditure.

Their field work is hard to surpass or equal. The pitcher is very clever and the second baseman and the shortstop are excelled by but few amateurs. The Union Giants played well after they got started and after Hennington was put in the box not the game was registered after Hennington faced the plate with that "nunning smile" of his. He is a pitcher of repute. The last half of the game was beautiful, but the 8 scores St. Louis got early. The score was never overcome. The score was the largest crowd of the season was out and a boosting crowd at that, but Glubs and Washington, the chief boosters, did not have an opportunity to let off their accumulated "steam." The Giants did well but St. Louis had us "bested." They were from Missouri and proved it. The St. Louis catcher may be said to be a "peach" without undue exaggeration. You can't lose that boy "Whiskey" (they call him for a nickname); he is no "lover" of intoxicants. His name is Robert Henning. He is his papa's oldest child (if we err not). He is only 20 or 21 years old and is good-looking, is a first-class brick layer and is single, that is, he is not married. They are after him, but he don't care to "double up" yet; but he "doubled to second in that fast game Sunday." * * * The Chicago Defender is on sale at Thompson's and J. P.

JACK JOHNSON RETAINS TITLE WITH EASE Champion Batters White Man And Toys With Him for Twenty Rounds—Not Even a Good Fight, But More of a Training Bout for Johnson. LOCAL SPORTING WRITERS PEEVED. Brady Another Corbett—Champion to Fight Langford—Paris Crowd Gay and in Full Dress—Americans Only Ones to Encourage Moran—John L.'s Statement. By Frank A. Young It's all over, the shouting, too, as far as we are concerned, but the poor whites will never get over it. Jack Johnson has retained the heavyweight title of the world regardless of all the predictions that he was out of form and had dissipated, had failed to train and was over-weight, as the authoritative Mr. Brady of Hearst Chicago American told all his readers. For twenty rounds the greatest champion of them all toyed with his opponent and time and again he smiled his golden smile, while the multitude applauded. The only encouragement that Moran got was from the Americans that had gathered to see the affair hoping and praying that fortune would turn to the pale face. Fistic encounters we have learned, in the course of time, take science and not luck and therefore the above result. Crowd Gay and Jovous. The crowded house was very joyous and they resembled one that might be seen at the grand opera, or at the stylish races, at which the royalty turns out, or at a reception of the kings. Any comparison between the crowd that saw the battle at Reno and the gay polite assembly at Paris would be out of reason. Moran's punches failed even to jar the champion and in the fifteenth round Johnson stood still in the middle of the ring, clapped his hands and grinned. He called to Moran to come on and wade in. From the tenth on it was plainly Johnson's fight, for the white man was continually hanging on. Once the referee called Johnson's attention as to the breaks, but outside of that it was the cleanest fight that has ever been pulled off. Before the Fight. Johnson took the regular run in the morning after which he took a splin in his new automobile to Paris to make some purchases. The afternoon was spent in boxing with his trainers and amusing the crowd. He boxed several rounds with each of his three sparring partners. Johnson still wore his famous smile, and the doctors claimed that he was as near perfect as one could wish, yet those who would like to see him lose the crown, picked this battle as the one which would be his Waterloo. Moran spent the morning picking wild flowers and in the afternoon came into the city for a thorough examination by the physicians who pronounced him fit. Brady and several other writers kept their columns filled with all sorts of stories concerning Johnson's method of training and his carefree way of taking things. Brady claimed that Saturday would be the happiest day of his life, for he would write back to this country and proclaim his man champion of the world. We have often crossed bridges but never before we came to them and all that the gent had said, it was his job to pen the story of the fight, and a bitter one it must have been for only he and the would-be-in-the-lime-light Eckersall spoke slurringly about the fight. The former claimed everything but what should have been and the latter, who has been dropping out of the lime-light since his days at Chicago University, has sought this chance to bob up again. No Disgraceful Scenes. He claimed that the victory was a signal for a celebration on State street, and that police were called to quell the disturbance. Now, there was nothing of the sort. Few people bet on the fight and those who would have bet could get no takers without long odds. Little money, therefore, changed hands. State street was as quiet as on any Saturday night. Mr. Eckersall seems to forget that there is no more Armour avenue. He accuses Johnson of being a disgrace to the race. Johnson, it is true, may have had troubles and the ever-ready yellow journals that seek to create ill feeling between the two races, took this as a matter to inflame the minds of its weak readers. Has he ever had any more or has he been any more of a disgrace than the critic? With all the chances in life that he has had, a college education, and prestige, too, he has failed to make writing more than a sporting writer, and a poor one at that. The first time he loses out with the Tribune—it's good night. Hailed as the peer of all the drop kickers in the country, it took Bobby Marshall to cook his hash when he outdid him at every stage of the game and took victory back to Minnesota. Eckie has never forgotten, and every time that he can he slames one in on the dark race, and he goes to it with a vim. Brady never was anything and never will be. He trained many fighters, but like Corbett and Moran and Jefferies, their punch is lacking against Johnson. All refused to fight old Peter Jackson till the poor old fellow was so slick. It was a shame to allow him to enter the ring, and the best haughty Corbett could do, was to get a draw. John L. Sullivan says that Johnson could lick any of the old fighters regardless of what they say themselves. He certainly ought to know. Like all previous battles there are a lot of its and ends. Just why the fight went twenty rounds under the said conditions we cannot say. Johnson's arm, that he hurt in the bout with Jim Johnson, bothered him. However, he has given some of his enemies something to worry about for a while. The next battle will probably be between Johnson and Langford, but the latter is in for a good beating. MISS MABEL SMITH HOME ON VACATION Miss Mabel Smith, the charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Smith, 3850 Dearborn street, who is now the stenographer for the Indianapolis Freeman, will arrive in the city today, to spend several weeks here on her vacation.

Her mother will tender her a beautiful reception and several parties will be given her. MRS. DAVID M. MANSON FINISHES ADVANCED STUDIES IN MUSIC Wife of Well-Known Citizen and Clubman Graduates from Cooropolitan School of Music and Dramatic Art. 2 Those that advance the merits of Chicago as the world's center for musical culture found substantiation for their claim when it became known this week that Mrs. David M. Manson, wife of our well-known townman and clubman, had graduated from the Cosmopolitan School of Music and Dramatic Art. Her love for music has always been known, but she always showed a greater interest in the theoretical than in the technical side of the art of music. Many will recall how she attempted a few years ago to prove the value of interpretation through the medium of the lecture recital and how she successfully presented the drama "Peer Gym," by Ibsen. 1. None but her very close friends knew that after this lecture, recital (in which she became the pioneer in this branch of the art), she entered the Cosmopolitan School and in which she, for the past three years, has remained literally buried from the world and its social contact. Upon her graduation, however, beautiful floral remembrances were received from Mrs. Charles E. Bentley, Mrs. George Walker, Mrs. Myrle Hart-Fry, Mrs. Mary E. Bowman, Mrs. R. Marshall and from Mr. Manson, also a number of beautiful and useful tokens of the esteem of admiring friends, as well as letters and telegrams of congratulations. Her specialty is history and interpretation and in this branch of the art she is said to excel. Mrs. Manson lives very quietly with a devoted husband at 5816 Michigan avenue. Hundred or More Persons Attend Exercises, and Ministers and Publishers Deliver Addresses—Ideal Woman's Club Hosts. The best anniversary Amanda Smith Industrial Home ever had was celebrated last Monday under the auspices of the Ideal Woman's Club. More than one hundred persons, including eleven pastors, responded to the invitation of the club, and from noon until 8 o'clock the guests were enjoying the good things prepared for them. Dinner was served at 3 p.m., and refreshments throughout the day. The club derived a substantial sum from this source, which together with its donation of $5 made a present of $25 to the home, with other donations promised. The exercises began at 3 o'clock. A brief program by the club, interspersed with singing by the children, was followed by addresses by members of the club, Mrs. Barnett and most of the pastors present. Among those who spoke in mistified praise of the home were: Rev. E. G. Martin, Harry Knight, J. W. Robinson, J. Haywood, D. H. Harris, A. L. Harris, A. Venerable, G. C. Mapeled, and Hon. Julius F. Taylor, editor of the Broad Ax. AUTOMOBILES ARE BARBER'S HOODOO. James Tuppins is Hurt on Wednesday, and His Assistant a Few Days Previous, in Auto Accidents. Jim Tuppins, proprietor of the popular barber shop at 31st and State streets, was the victim of an automobile accident Wednesday. Details of the accident could not be learned, but at St. Luke's Hospital, where he was taken, it was stated that two ribs were broken and that he had been injured internally. Mr. Tuppins' accident recalls the fact that Mr. Douglass ("Doug"), his first assistant, was hurt in a similar accident two weeks ago.

Washington Makes Report—Budget for Year 1914-15, Approximately $290,000, Approved — Three New Trustees Elected. Special to The Chicago Defender. New York, July 3.—The annual meeting of the Tuskegee Institute Board of Trustees was held Thursday, June 25, at the rooms of the General Education Board, Rockefeller Foundation. Present were Seth Low, New York City, chairman; Julius Rosenwald, Chicago; William C. Willcox, New York City; Charles E. Mason, Boston; C. W. Hare, Tuskegee, Ala.; William Jay Schieffeln, New York City; V. H. Tulane, Montgomery, Ala.; William M. Scott, Philadelphia; Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal; Warren Logan, treasurer, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama. There were present also at the meeting Charles H. Gibson, chief accountant, and R. R. Taylor, director of mechanical industries, Tuskegee Institute. Major R. R. Moton, of the Hampton Institute, Dr. James H. Dillard of the Jeanes Fund Board, and Hon. J. C. Napler, former register of the U. S. treasury, were invited to sit with the board during its proceedings. The most important action of the board was the election of three new trustees; Mr. George McAneny, president of the Board of Aldermen, New York City, succeeding the late Robert C. Ogden; Mr. Edward A. Bancroft, chief counsel of the International Harvester Co., Chicago, Ill., succeeding the late Dr. John C. Grant of Chicago, and Dr. Alexander Mann, Rector of Trinity Church, Boston. Principal Washington's Report. The institute's budget for the year 1914-15, calling for an appropriation approximating $290,000, was approved. The effectiveness of the institute's work in the South in rural school building and its leadership in urging its students to develop farming colonies were matters of especial mention. The report of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the principal of the institute, was listened to with particular interest, and his recommendation calling for a retiring fund for Tuskegee Institute teachers and other matters of especial interest with regard to the institute's work during the past year received the special consideration of the board. It is the plan to print and circulate Dr. Washington's report as a separate publication early in the fall. The report made to the Board of Trustees by the principal shows that altogether the school has received from all sources during the past twelve months for current expenses, permanent improvements, additions to the endowment and for special purposes, $473,764.92, an increase of $116,432.00 or 32 per cent over the past year's receipts. Altogether, the report of the principal and treasurer showed that 349 Afro-Americans had contributed toward the expenses of the Tuskegee Institute during the past year. Good News During Meeting. While it is not a matter legally or directly connected with the work of the institute, nevertheless a plan was launched at the meeting by which 1,750 acres of land have been purchased near the institute with a view of encouraging young men, preferably graduated from the agricultural department of the Tuskegee Institute, to settle and become farmers. The money to purchase the land outright was provided and the land is now being surveyed for the purpose of erecting houses on it for prospective purchasers. It is the idea to make a model farming settlement. On the tract of land there is already a gin, store and railroad station. In addition to securing the money for paying for this land, the money was subscribed to pay all the expenses in connection with operating the experiment for a given period. During the meeting of the Board of Trustees in New York City, news was published in the New York newspapers that the Tuskegee Institute is to receive $50,000 under the will of the late Mrs. Morris K. Jesup. New York City, June 27—An Executive Committee meeting of the Jeanes Fund Board was held in the rooms of the general Education Board, 17 Battery Place, Wednesday morning, June 24.

Mitchell, Richmond Medical College, Richmond, Va.; Hon. J. C. Napier, former register of the U. S. treasury, Nashville, Tenn.; Mr. E. J.

President of Morris Brown College Draws Spiritual Lesson from Simple Subject—Large Congregation Hears Eminent Divine at Bethel Church. The Sunday morning worshippers at Bethel A. M. E. Church can substantiate the old adage that "great minds run in the same channel." A week ago Rev. R.-R. Wright, Jr., of Philadelphia, editor of the Christian Recorder, took as his subject "The Wonderful Vision." while at the service in question Rev. W. A. Fountain, D. D., president of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga., spoke on "The Man with a Vision." The speaker declared "that every man is a builder and that every builder to be successful must have a vision of the ultimate end of his work." He drew an interesting religious lesson out of his subject, having taken as his text Heb. 11-10: "For he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God." The entire service was full of fervor, typifying the fact the speaker said that the large congregation still loved the religion of their fathers and mothers and were proud to be Methodists. MRS. BEATRICE DAVILA. THE SPECIALIST. Mrs. Beatrice Davila, 5817 Lafayette avenue, teaches the wonderful Poro System that has revolutionized the treatment of hair.

The offerings at this house have been right up to the standard, and the new trio, McCarver, Reed and McCarver, are held over to the last half last week. They continued their success of the first half, introducing several new songs. Davis and Remilia, hand-to-hand balancers, were good, and Thomas and Soparo, a colored team fresh from the East, were accorded a goodly share of applause. The Vestoff Trio was a smart musical act that went good, and the Florenze Trio of gymnasts were fine. The first half this week opened with the Powers Brothers, a European team in classic poses and balancing and were great. The Frisco Four, a mixed quartette, did well. The trio of Elkins, Fay and Elkins offered several novelties in their musical act, and were highly appreciated. Green Goods, a rube act with a state fair setting, was accorded a big mitt, which was well merited, and the Ishikawa Japs were probably the best equilibrists seen here in many moons. Lucretia Knox was a special feature on the bill here Sunday night, and sang well. ANITA PATTI BROWN IN THE SOUTHLAND Mrs. Anita Patti Brown left the city last Sunday night on the Royal Palm, and is now in the Southland, to fill her fifth annual summer engagement at the great Atlanta music festival. The promoter, Rev. H. H. Proctor, has arranged a circuit of festivals in which the madame as one of the stars will appear. The cities of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Atlanta, Macon, Thomassville, Columbus and Savannah, Ga., are included in the Ritinerary. She sang at Tuskegee July 2 as an attraction at the teachers' summer course, and finds it impossible to fill the many requests for her services. OLD MONOGRAM. Cooper, the popular ventilator, opened the bill here and went well. The stage manager didn't use good judgment when he put Cooper on first, as his act was the only one on the bill that deserves mentioning. The balance of the bill was Stone and Stone, who had nothing of merit to offer; Ricks and Talbert, a sister act, which would go well in Brinkley, Ark., and Conley and Blume, who have been here before—several times. The one man band still holds forth here. THE PHOENIX. The cool weather brought them out, and business was good during the week. Plenty of good stuff was shown, among which were "The Oath of Pierre," "Prisoner of the Owls," "A Sentimental Burglar," "Kathlyn No. 13," "Tennessee," "The Science of Crime," "Hen's Emotion," "The Outlaw's Remorse," "The Alarm," a two-reel Keystone comedy, and "War on the Plains," all of which drew well. Sunday brings "In the Southern Hills," a four-reel moonshine picture. Do you like moonshine? So do I. THE LINCOLN. This house is being all re-decorated and otherwise sharpened up, and with the additional electric fans that are being installed the temperature can be regulated perfectly. Among the features seen here during the current week was "The Last Chance," "The Man Who Lost but Won," "Lutlcei Love No. 11," "Perils of Pauline No. 7," "Bringing in the Law," "Cast Drift in the South Seas," and "Fire and Sword." The bill Sunday will include "The Stirrup Brothers," a fourreel western drama, and a two-reel startling comedy. THE WASHINGTON. Nothing but big features were shown here this week, and business has been great. No advance in prices was charged on these: "Trapped by Wireless," "The House of Darkness," "Lutice Love No. 10," "Home-Run Baker's Double," and "The Finger Prints," Saturday and Sunday the great moral lesson, "The Drug Terror," will be shown for adults only. JONES' ORCHESTRA. Clarence Jones and his orchestra, who have been furnishing music at the Phoenix Theater ever since the house was taken over by Mr. Hammond, closed there and opened at the Lincoln on Monday. The departure of the musicians from the Phoenix is by mutual agreement and principally on account of a refusal on the part of the management to allow a five-minute rest between shows. The orchestra is composed of Clarence Jones, Leo English, J. Wyatt Houston and Charles Mitchell, and is the best aggregation on the Stroll. New Monogram. The Mills Sisters are a clever team and did well, in fact, they set a pace that Larrivee and La Page, a bum white act that followed them, couldn't keep. Klein cancelled the Ofays after once on, but the mystery of it is, why were they booked in the first place? There are twenty Afro-American acts of merit laying off here in Chicago, and could be gotten in touch with at a moment's notice, and how a rotten team like the one above mentioned could consciously be accorded any consideration by Klein is beyond me. Allen and Marshall replaced the cancelled team and scored a well-merited hit. They are really good. Dorothea Love, a cool young soubrette with a clear complexion, who is new on this time, did well, and Butler and Johnson, a hot-stuff team of class, sent everybody home a smiling. ELIZABETH HART-DORSEY. Elizabeth Hart-Dorssey is rehearsing preparatory to a concert tour, starting at an early date. The bookings will carry the troupe, which is composed of eight members, to the far West, and will probably last until winter, playing all the principal cities of the North between Chicago and the coast. THE STATES. "The Million Dollar Mystery," Part 1, drew the largest houses seen here for some time, and the handsome house was packed each show. "The Perils of Pauline, No. 8," "The Rebellion of Kitty Bell," "Atlantas," a six classic, "Jim," "The Kangaroo," and several Keystone comedies were also shown during the week. Coming Sunday, "The Battle of the Sexes." One year's subscription to the Defender entitles you to cast 25 votes for the most popular girl in Chicago. She will receive a diamond, ring in ON AND OFF THE STROLL. By Columbus Bragg. Miss Emma Curtaindahl would make the Zasper in the Great Ethiopic Classic play "Called Aghajh" her interpretations of the role would be distinguished. She could rise above the average movie actress in a melodramatic effectiveness. She has natural talent, to turn ordinary operatic or dramatic puppets into living and moving being of human existence. It would be the management loss not to secure her for the movies of the Aghajh as few interpreters of movie pictures are as intelligent as she is. She has high imaginations and very fascinating; skillful girl would simply be the Emma Carus or May Irwin of the movie production. At Grand Theater the Frisco Four a clever singing and dancing act, improved since it played there before as they have added Miss Lilly Grundy, formerly of Grundy Vaugher and Grundy a very pretty and dainty girl. Oh! those smiles thats a plenty? Misses Caroline Lillison and Miss Sallie Lee Johnstone have been cordially received by their audience at the fashionable Elite Cafe all the week as they sing a new hit of the season entitled "If Money Talks It Certainly Says Good-bye to Me." At the Plaza De Luxe two dainty misses very classy singers in the person of Esmeralda Slaath and kebecca Allen if some commercial manager who understands the promotion of a personality could realize a mint. See that little dainty petite doll Esmeralda show vivid instinct for comedy. See those pretty double and be pleased. Now the cute Hazell Eliot of the Elcento Cafe that what the audience calls her cute and cute she is, now and then she shows vivid instinct for ingenuous emotions. But she does not know any more of the familiar fires and languors of the stroll entertaining than her partner Miss Lottie Merry a smiling yen. Miss Hagemin sings sweetly being very pretty, magnetic, absolutely conscienceless and full of tricks as a kitten with a ball of yarn where do these cabaret proprietors get so many dreams to sing from well the stroll is full her accent and demeanor are of the sedate order. Miss Ruth Belmont no lotta kicking her fantastic little heels just a beautiful singer that sings she is assisted by a superb orchestra at the Chateau Gardens say Dr. Boger you must spend some change to run that palace ugh? THE BLUE GRASS STATE Home of Beautiful Women, Fast Horses and Fine Spirits Brought Into the Limelight. By Hardin Tolbert. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Frankfort, Ky, July 3—Rev. W. T. Silvey, pastor of the First Baptist Church and one of the best known evangelistic preachers in the state, Sunday morning in a most eloquent sermon stamped the great common people's cause. He denounced President G. P. Russell of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute for fooling the graduates, telling them that they could teach without further examination upon the diplomas that were not signed by the Hon. Barkedale Hamlett, superintendent of public instruction. He pitied the mothers and fathers who have been working hard for so many years, taking their means and sending it to their children that they might be successful in school and get their state diplomas. And to think that President Russell would be instrumental in granting these certificates with false impressions is a shame to every self-respecting colored person that is for the advancement of the race. This is a state institution and is the business of all of us to take a stand for the betterment of the youths' welfare. Dean E. E. Reed of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute has accepted the principalship of the Bowling Green high school. He is a graduate of the Clinton street high school, the state normal, and for years specialized in the Chicago and Mimini University. He was considered by the board of education as the most competent member of the faculty of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute. Through his efficiency wholly he was the choice of the board of education to hold summer school of institute for teachers, of which work will begin next week. Professor E. E. Reed has an interest in the People's Pharmacy, a member of the Corinthian Baptist Church. He is one of the highest thought of young men in this county and state. Professor Reed will take up this lucrative educational work, of which he is so fond, the first of September with thirteen assistant teach- THE CHICAGO DEFENDER. ers. The people of this city are very sorry to see Professor Reed leave, and it will be much a surprise to the students who are on their summer vacation, and the alumni association. The statewide educational and religious awakening that is to be conducted under the auspices of the progressive young people of the state. This motive is for the highest development of the people throughout the state. A series of lectures and musicals will be conducted through this religious awakening. Every feature of it will be from an educational standpoint. Communication is being carried on by the secretary with some of the leading educators throughout the United States to make dates for this monster feast whose dates will be made public in a few weeks. A large crowd attended the Masonic sermon at the Corinthian Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. Lawyer L. R. Diggs, master of ceremonies; Mr. T. L. Brooks, secretary. Rev. M. B. Laneir preached an eloquent sermon. He paid a high tribute to the Masonic lodge as the first established organization in this country. Redpath Chautauqua, which has been sanctioned by the public and press as one of the most didactic musical festivals on the road, hoisted their tents and received the people by the thousand to their great festival, which is a rare occasion of this nature in the city. A monster number of white people and a large per cent of Colored people purchased tickets for the season which begins June 29 to July 6. The Frankfort Star, a weekly paper of this city, has opened a popularity subscription contest. Many of the young Colored girls of this city are taking an active part in the contest. A beautiful diamond ring is awarded for the largest number of votes. The girls are getting busy. The Knights of Pythias Uniform Rank, Court of Calantia, and lodge will give a picnic at Glenwood Park July 6.

Drake Washington, of Hotel Washington fame, has taken over the cafe of the Germania Hotel, 338 and Wagash avenue. With this change the patrons of this hotel are assured of high class service, as Mrs. Washington is a master hand at the business. No one is more pleased than the management of the house, who feel that the acquisition of Mrs. Washington was one of the triumphs of their lives. The Germania is one of the most popular of the south side hotels, and many business men and their wives patronize the cafe daily. Frankie Drake is the first assistant.

The Chicago Defender is proud of Jack Johnson's victory over Frank Moran, and justly so, because in every triumph of the champion the Chicago Defender experiences the same feeling that a parent does when a child does something nice. "I told you so," exclaims the joyous parent. In this case The Chicago Defender says I TOLD YOU SO with all the vigor at its command, only, unlike some newspapers and thousands of people, it has always stood by John Arthur Johnson, and always will as long as he is in the right. When practically unknown in his little home in Galveston, Texas, he broke into the limelight and a prejudiced south tried to dampen his ambition The Chicago Defender at once championed his cause. His life since then with its attendant ups and downs is familiar to the reading public, but through thick and thin, when all but kin forsook him, The Chicago Defender lived bravely up to its name. It has not often been called upon to defend him as a fighter, as in every battle his clean-cut, honest tactics precluded the need, but in exercising his God-given rights as a citizen of the United States of America it has ever been foremost in his defense. Almost alone it has fought on, seeing only in a recent change of sentiment toward the much maligned fistic king the reward that eventually comes to those who fight in a just cause. Again we say that we are proud of Champion Jack Johnson's victory over Frank Moran, and in the language of the street the final word is I Told You So.

It was said that he had lost his speed, but the way that he went after Moran, uppercut and jabbed him in the mouth and nose, countered and protected himself, showed the oldest follower of the game that he was still his old self and the possessor of something new, for the lightning-like way he used that terrible right of his was a revelation. There was no stalling on his part; he never shirked a moment, but was always on the spot when his mystified opponent was ready. In the tenth round he walked into a clinch and on the call of break he sent a straight lift to Moran's nose and mouth. For this he was warned by the referee. From the beginning of the fight he saw that. Moran was not his equal. Jack Johnson is the master fighter of all champions, the pugilistic marvel of the boxing world and Anglo-Saxon supremacy in the heavyweight class was trampled in the dust when Referee Carpenter awarded him the decision at the end of the twentieth round. There was never a second during the entire twenty rounds in which a victory by Moran could have been said to be in the realms of possibility. As a boxer, Moran was absolutely outclassed. Jack Johnson is the master of boxing and his cleverness cannot be equalled. Both Men Perfect. Moran did not deliver more than a score of really effective blows during the fight, while Johnson scored possibly a dozen in each round. The feature of Johnson's fighting was the same as has characterized him in all his encounters. His boxing was superb. His left-hand work was all that could be expected. Both men seemed perfect as they entered the ring. Shouts of admiration went up as Johnson's tall, lilac form, with enormous muscles bulging from his arms and shoulders, was revealed when his long striped dressing gown siped to the floor. Moran's white skin with hard-drawn muscles also gave a fine appearance, but it was darent to the skilled observer that lacked the native robustness. Champion. Roman Contributing uposium on the Race Problem, Conducted by Louis F. Post, in the Public, Asks Daily Press to Give Afro- Americans Credit for Good Deeds. The Public of last week had a symposium on the race's problem in which a good many sensible thigs were said. Prof. E. C. Bronson, thus summed up the facts concerning Negro farm and home ownership in the South. "The Afro-American is a dwindling ratio of population in every southern state except Arkansas and Oklahoma; but he is a decreasing ratio of population in the cities of the South; he is an increasing ratio of population in the farm regions of every southern state except Louisiana. In every southern state without exception the Afro-Americans are increasing in farm ownership at a greater rate than the whites; indeed at rates varying all the way from two and a half times the rates of white increase in farm ownership. Of course, their farm buildings are small and their total acreage relatively little, but assuredly they are getting what Uncle Remus calls a 'toe-holt' in the soil." Feeling Between the Races. And what of the things of the spirit? What of the feeling between the races? The address of Rev. C. V. Roman on "Racial Self-respect and Racial Antagonism" is very fine, more useful probably than any other. Certainly it must contribute, as the author modestly hoped it would, "to a mutual understanding between the races." He thus in part states the case: "The races know and believe in the vices of each, but do not know or believe in the virtues of each other. A belief that the Afro-American is unable to defend himself often makes white people tyrannical. A belief that the courts are unfair frequently makes the Afro-American desperate. Racial contact is now at the most disadvantageous and dangerous points. First, the vicious and criminal of both races in the saloons, brothels and gambling dens. Second, the ignorance and poverty of the Afro-American with the wealth of the whites. The servant race gets an exaggerated idea of the wealth and influence of the master race, and the master race gets an exaggerated idea of the vice and ignorance of the servant race. Both confuse race and clauses. Hat in speaking of remedies he has this to say to the newspapers and every word of it is good: "If I could get the ear of the genius of the American press, I would ask the following boon for America and its people of African decent. 1. Drop from the vocabulary all such words as Nigger, Darky, Sambo, Coon, etc. 2. Never mention the race of a criminal in connection with criminal news. 3.

Throughout the fight there was no evidence whatsoever of any disposition toward foul play by either man. As the fight progressed Moran relapsed into his Jeffries style of fighting, of which his trainers had assiduously striven to cure him. A hundred times he covered his face with his arms in a bending, crouching attitude to keep off Johnson's blows. It was he, too, who did nearly all the clinching, and here Johnson's skill in placing his weight to the best advantage on the other man's shoulders came into full play. Not one blow of the few landed by Moran seemed to affect Johnson in the least, while he succeeded again and in giving [From The Chicago Defender, Saturday, Feb. 14, 1914.] JACK JOHNSON THE CHAMPION. Sporting writers delight in the term "white heavyweight champion," being reluctant to admit that Jack Johnson is the world champion heavyweight fighter and aspirants for that honor, no matter what his color, must defeat him. This plain fact no doubt hurts, but they must know that the man who can scientifically fight his way to the heavyweight throne has and always will be a personage to be ranked with the great ones of the period. A king is only king because a king was one before him. A president is a president because of the successful efforts of his friends, but a champion pugilist wins his place by virtue of the punch which he can fold in a five-ounce glove. That he must be esteemed accordingly is the point that seems so hard for many to understand. Moran such fierce jolts on the head as to stagger him. Good Short Arm Work. Johnson's superior ring tactics frequently got Moran against the ropes or in a corner and Frank would crouch and bend and wait for an opportunity to charge or run away. Johnson would then pursue and force him to lead or clinch. In the former case Moran would usually fall short and Johnson would counter heavily with left or right and often with each in succession. In the clinches, with credit items creditable to the Afro-American." Leaders Must Be Patriots. The Afro-American needs sane, conservative, unselfish, patient race leadership. The greatest help that can be given the race is to assist in the development of these leaders. Wholesome Afro-American ideals must be created by men of Afro-American blood. These ideals may be assisted from without, but cannot be superimposed. Masters may be allens, but leaders must be patriots. Leaders must know the people they lead "and his prophecy is full of hope." If the white people and the black people in this glorious southland of ours ever understood each other, racial self-respect will safeguard the purplele of racial integrity and in matters of common welfare co-operation will displace antagonism."—The Scoop.

Johnson early in the fight started Moran's nose bleeding and kept jabbing that member with his left. A little later he opened the old cut on Moran's left eyebrow. This became from that moment to the end a special object of attraction. It bled so profusely as to cover almost the whole of Moran's face. Johnson's Condition Best. Johnson's Condition Best. It is certain that Johnson was in better general condition than Moran in the last round. Before that Moran had wabbled slightly and it was evident that by his continuous circling around Johnson he had fatigued himself greatly in the legs. This circling game, which Charlie Mitchell played with much greater success against John L. Sullivan at Chantilly in the eighties, was entirely to Johnson's liking and he turned it into a broad farce when he suddenly stopped in the middle of the ring and stood with hands on hips and turned his body slowly about while regarding Moran with a contemptuous grin. Women Favor Champion. In the last round all pretense at boxing on Moran's part was thrown aside and he either attempted blows without clearly seeing where they might land or fell every other second upon Johnson's shoulder, putting his hands to his breast in an effort to avoid his uppercuts. In one of the amusing clinches Moran beat a sort of tattoo on Johnson's stomach. The latter laughed outright, exactly as he used to do while training when his sparing partners pounded him there, at his request, with all their might so as to harden the muscles. Here the crowd went wild with good-humored laughter. At every stage of the fight the sympathies of the Frenchmen and French women, who were present in great numbers, were with Jack Johnson. When he fought Jim Jeffries it was claimed that Jeffries was not in condition, but Frank Moran was perfect from a physical standpoint, trained to the minute with the advantage of youth and hope of a fortune should he win, but alas, he was plunged against the most wonderfully developed man in the world, who, having mastered every part of the art, was invincible.

FOR STRENGTH AND GRACE Proper Training of Boy's Muscles is Something Worth Highest Degree of Consideration. In the American Magazine Dr. Charles K. Taylor of Philadelphia writes an interesting and practically helpful article entitled "Your Boy and His Muscles," in which he gives suggestions as to proper exercises for young boys. Following is an extract from his article: "First of all, when a child is in a poor condition of which the basic cause is some remediable physical defect there is little use in giving special exercises until the defect is removed. For instance, breathing exercises cannot be nearly as effective as they should be for a child suffering from large adenoids, nor can you expect good results when a child has some physical irritation inducing nervous effects of different kinds. Above all, you should always know the state of the child's heart. If the heart is good, and if there are no serious remediable defects to interfere with your obtaining good results, then you can take up the matter of special exercises with some degree of confidence. "When you find jest where your boy is lacking, whether in chest expansion, shoulder girth, arms, and on so, or perhaps in posture, if he is hollow-chested with shoulders bent forward, then you can take up the exercise suggested for the different needs. And right here is a word of caution, which will be repeated now and then. Never carry an exercise beyond the time when fatigue begins. Do not continue it to exhaustion; but when the boy begins to feel tired stop at once, if it is only after two or three motions! "It interests the boy a great deal, too, to keep account of his physical measurements. If these are taken once a month his interest is kept up, and he is stimulated when he finds that he is actually gaining. Finally, do not carry on a special exercise after it is no longer necessary. What you desire is a good, all-around development, and when this is attained special work should cease and general exercise be carefully continued. It should be said, too, that such work can never be considered as a substitute for outdoor play. This latter is vitally necessary for all children. These exercises are to be used as adjuncts—to bring up to standard any set of muscles which are under-developed." War Drums Ordered Out War Drums Ordered Out. It was some time ago that, acting upon the recommendations embodied in a report by a military commission, the French government reached the conclusion that the drum was no longer a necessary article of military equipment. The report set forth that the drum was a serious encumbrance in marching; that rain impaired its usability; that its calls could not be distinguished in time of battle; that it consumed a period of two years to turn out an efficient drummer; and that by abandoning the use of the drum many thousands of youths and men would be released for active service. Since the decision of the French government other European powers have followed its example in decreeing that the "drum must go." The history of the drum is both ancient and honorable. The Egyptians employed it, and the Greeks ascribed its invention to Bacchus. The Spanish conqueror Pizarro is said to have found drums in South American temples. The snakes of Ireland, we are told, fed from the Emerald Isle before the drum-beats of St. Patrick. The Puritans of New England used the drum as a church bell, and it figured frequently and romantically all through the wars of the revolution and rebellion in America. Knew Enough to Keep Dry. "It looks like rain!!" "I beg your pardon." "I say it looks like rain." "What does?" "The weather." "The weather, my dear str, is a condition. Rain is water in the act of falling from the clouds. It is impossible that they should look alike." "What I meant was that the sky looked like rain." "Equally impossible. The sky is the blue vault above us—the seeming arch or dome that we call the heavens. It does not resemble falling water in the least." "Well, then, if you are so thunderingly particular, it looks as if it would rain." "As if what would rain?" "The weather, of course." "The weather, as before stated, being a condition, can not rain." "The clouds, then, confound you. I may not know as much about it you do, but I've got enough sense to get in out of it, and you haven't," said the man, as he raised his umbrella and walked away in a huff.—Pearson's Weekly. Box of Five Mental Wonder The town of Skowhegan, in Maine, boasts of little Ralph Wardin Wimp Peters, five years old, an infant wonder of the age, who, after hearing Gray's "Elegy in a Country Churchyard," for the first time, repeated it from memory.

Scrapbook keepers and chroniclers of odd things who are on the alert to increase the store of interest grippers are able to list no end of mistakes made by prominent men at various times and places. One of these collectors has gathered incidents that might easily make 200 pages of an ordinary book. He insists that all are as true as—well, as true as anything can be that you hear about. According to this collector, says the New York Sun, there a Brooklyn clergyman who went over to Newark to fill a pulpit one Sunday and greeted three men as the pastor of the church he was to preach in before he shook hands with the right man. One or two deacons and other members were waiting for him in the vestibule when he arrived. He thought he knew a minister when he saw one, so he put out his hand with a "Glad to meet you, doctor," only to find it wasn't the pastor. Then he looked from one to the other and stretched out a hand to the second man, scoring another mistake. Finally, inside the church on the way to the pulpit, he was sure the ministerial-looking man who advanced toward him was the pastor, and so he greeted him that way. But it was a trustee. An insurance solicitor, top notcher, of one of the big companies, called on a prospective risk at his Riverside drive residence one evening to nail him for a policy. He talked eloquently and at length. When it came to signing his man he found he had been talking to a nephew of the same man. The nephew was already insured, but had listened because he was interested in insurance. The scrapbook man has a great number of clips to prove that slouchily dressed Gen. U, S. Grant was repeatedly mistaken for some third-class subaltern. Dispatch hearers who had never met the general often galloped up to headquarters and were directed to a group of officers of which Grant was one. Often the papers were handed the most natty dressed or the most pompous appearing officer in preference to Grant. A droll-minded, little, inconsequential-looking man of London used to take great delight in inviting prominent men to visit him and see the mistakes they made in supposing somebody else was he. Hearty greeting would be half finished before they would discover the mistake. The little man was a famous Egyptologist and used to send out his invitations in ancient hieroglyphics, which may account for the upsetness of the visitors. The cases are numerous in which in visits of ceremony at courts and among naval commanders of warships of different nations in harbor ridiculous mistakes in identity have been made. A French admiral is reported to have put forth his most formal greeting to a marine officer on board the ship he was visiting, supposing he was the commander in a newly designed uniform. At a detached surrender of troops in the Russian-Japanese war a Russian commander very formally offered his sword to a war-correspondent. Building Dams on the Ice. The government engineers on the upper Mississippi have found that by constructing the dam on the ice in the winter they can often build them in shallow places and across sand bars which are inaccessible to the barges and steamers in the summer months, the Scientific American states. The work also can be done much more cheaply. The willows and rock are hauled upon the ice by teams and unloaded at the place where the dam is to be constructed. The building crews follow the same method as is used in the summer months. A mattress of willows is made, loaded with rock, a second willow mat laid on top and on until a dam of proper height is constructed. When it is finished, the ice is cut away and the structure sinks to the river bed of its own weight. The work on the ice has been progressing for three years all along the upper half of the river. Hen In Ostrich Class Even the hens of Winsted like to do unusual things. Rolland Wilson has a Rhode Island red with an especial dislike for the old-fashioned life. The other day this hen, which is a year old, made up her mind not only to win fame for herself, but to add new fame to the village of her birth. She achieved her purpose by laying an egg the like of which never has been seen here. As a matter of actual measurement the egg's two circumferences are eight and one-fourth and seven and one-fourth inches. It weighs five ounces. Poultry authorities will move to Missouri before they pass 'on any contentions for this record as the mark for the year.' -Winsted (Conn.) Dispatch to New York World. Meeting the Emergency. One day Jones lost a button from his serge coat, and on leaving for the office on the following morning he asked little bridle if she wouldn't repair the damage during the day. Little bridle, of course, sweetly promised. "Where are you, Harry?" called the young wife on hearing hubby rambling around the house that evening. "What are you looking for?" "I am looking for my blue serge coat," answered Harry. "Did you sew on that button?" "No, dear," came the startling rejoinder of wifey. "I couldn't find the button so I sewed up the buttonhole." Something Too Much. May (indignantly)—I don't care. I think Harry Esterleigh is downright mean. Marle—Why, May? May—Well, he wrote me from Egypt, saying he had shot a crocodile seven feet long and that when he shot another he would have a pair of slippers made for me. I'll never speak to him again.

PRIZE FIGHTING IS NOT THE MOST ELEVATING PROFESSION ONE COULD CHOOSE, but it would a strange, monotonic world if we were all to do the same thing. There is no gainsaying the fact that it is a manly sport provided it is not carried to the extreme, when it degenerates simply into brute force and becomes disgusting even to the lovers of the manly art. Our schools and colleges lay much stress on sports of every nature, and the success of many seats of learning depends upon their standing in the world of sports. This statement, strange as it may seem, is true, and the boy or girl usually selects the university that encourages ball teams, rowing, jumping, fencing and other athletic sports. Physical and mental exercise go hand in hand. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," so says the old adage and it is only too true. Perhaps it is only a coincidence but usually where you find a student carrying off the class honors you find this same student leading in athletics. It has been said by those who profess to know that one who has mixed blood in their veins is weaker mentally and physically than one who has the so-called pure blood. But do we find this to be a fact? We have representatives in many of the leading universities throughout the country, and, like all other Americans, they have more or less of a mixture of bloods, still in a majority of cases they stand out alone in the particular study or studies they are persuing. A certain class advance the theory that it is the white blood in them asserting itself. Be that as it may, the result is what counts and we are always there at the counting. Recently the champion was called upon to defend his title as the world's greatest heavyweight boxer, which he did successively, and received in every country, save his own, the plaudits he so richly deserved. There is something disgustingly small about a sporting editor of a certain Chicago paper who styles himself the "famous developer of Champions Corbett and Jeffries," who does everything in his power to depreciate and belittle the man who stands pre-eminent in the boxing world today. List what he says: "It was a second-rate exhibition between two mixed ale fighters. Not one effective blow was struck by either man in the entire contest. The spectacle of the world's champion, clinging to his smaller antagonist, expressing in every move and appealing glance his yearning for the final tap of the gong. It was only Moran's exhaustion that saved the Negro from being knocked out." Prejudice is a dangerous thing in the minds of ignorant people, but one would hardly expect prejudice in a true sport. The race as a whole is glad the title of champion was retained. It is our aim to reach perfection in whatever line of endeavor we undertake. The champion represents us in the pugilistic field and in the pugilistic field alone, just as Corbett and Jeffries represent the white race, and while we are here let us emphasize the fact that when we are called upon for representatives in any line we reserve the right to do our own selecting, and resent the implication that a prizefighter represents us in any other way than we have stated.

There has been too much of this indiscriminate gun carrying, too many lives have been lost as a result of it. It is appalling to look over the yearly records of a police station or the average hospital and see the great number of victims who have been maimed, disfigured or killed and mainly over some trivial thing that could have been settled without bloodshed, but their firearms were handy and in the heat of passion used with telling effect. To purchase a gun now, since the Nance ordinance has become a law, one must first go to the office of the chief of police and apply for a permit, and must give as reference the names of two persons who reside in the city; and he must also give very good reasons for desiring to buy a gun. It is encouraging to note an effort is being made to lessen the crime record in this big city; it is in direct accordance with the wave of reform that has done so much to restore the good name of Chicago. AS A MATTER OF FACT we should have our own political pot on boiling right now, the election is none too far off and not having any fence to start with we cannot do any repairing but must build from the ground up. CHICAGO DEFENDER DR. WASHINGTON ATTENDS CONVENTION. JAMES O'DONNELL BENNETT OF THE CHICAGO HERALD heard the man from Tuskegee make a plea for his race before the National Sunday-school convention which met in Chicago this week. We quote a portion of his two-column article: "Broth Washington as they called him was the whirlwind of the last night's session but one of the great Sunday-school convention. The man from Tuskegee took the platform at 9:30 o'clock and for more than a half hour he was everybody's master—this man who came from slavery. He strode before them like a tawny lion. He neither cringed nor palavered. He hit hard sometimes, hammering home his facts with a vehemence that made a fact take on the color and splendor of the ordinary platform gladiator's brightest purple passage. There was every token of a tremendous personality—conviction, candor, vigor, sincerity and tactful infusion of just enough humor to keep the hammering from getting on the people's nerves." The Defender is glad that Dr. Washington came, for many reasons. First, the occasion, addressing so many people who had the molding of the opinions of the nation's future rulers. It is a call to the people for a practical application of the principles they profess to follow. Dr. Washington is not only an advocate of a working head, hand and heart but of the working theology. He put the "K" into worship (wor-k-ship). He declared he wanted no man's sympathy because he was a Negro; what he did want was a chance to develop. We agree that we do want but a chance and the men who have opportunities to speak for their rights before great audiences should not waste the time in personal villification but take the broader stand of all pulling for the one great common cause. Appealing to the better nature of the people instead of provoking their enmity. Upon the gospel of "love thy neighbor as thyself" hangs all the other commandments. PATRIOTISM. NORTH OF JULY to a vast majority of legal holiday, another day when the inside and the frivolities of life inside a good thing—upon the Fourth practically killed that hurrah-time spills and in the country is the day long spirit. In days gone by young and by setting off explosives of every kind was making the most noise was at the best time. For months before the their pennies and planning on the great public buildings were decorated with fire the day and calculated to arouse with one. The love of one's country of defense is still greater. The Americaalty and yet no country on the far side to secure men for their standing needs of stations, advertises extensive corral even the wanderer and still runs that we are a peaceful nation; even so, and bang does not spell patriotism, some effect. The tameness of our city does seem that our state militia would each year have parades, patriotic suitable to the occasion to keep that only needs such things to fan in. HING THE MASON AND DIXON OUT THE MASON AND DIXON For years to accomplish, perhaps coats bitter in some sections as it was on in a letter to the Lincoln Highland that the entire country is interested no longer exist a North or a South country, which we all love, and that on line should be made once and if a small contribution to that end I.e. Highway Association should grant official Lincoln Highway markers on Philadelphia to Washington through of the latter city to the Lincoln High Frederick, Md., to Gettysburg. This arrangement would be agreeable are such an exclusive set perhaps justified with the "doe faced" North other things that need serious attention peacefully—as one big family. We THE FOURTH OF JULY to a vast majority of people simply means another legal holiday, another day when cares and labors can be tossed aside and the frivolities of life indulged in. The insistance—while a good thing—upon the Fourth being observed sanely, has practically killed that hurrah-time spirit, and only in the smaller towns and in the country is the day looked forward to with a patriotic spirit. In days gone by young and old gave vent to their feelings by setting off explosives of every description, and the fellow that was making the most noise was the one thought to be having the best time. For months before the date children began saving their pennies and planning on the great event, houses, stores and public buildings were decorated with flags and bunting emblematic of the day and calculated to arouse whatever patriotism that was in one. The love of one's country is a great thing, to fight in its defense is still greater. The American people brag about their loyalty and yet no country on the face of the globe has a harder time to secure men for their standing army. Uncle Sam has hundreds of stations, advertises extensively and makes every effort to corral even the wanderer and still men are wanting. It is argued that we are a peaceful nation; even so we can still be patriotic. Noise and bang does not spell patriotism but is a cause that has the same effect. The tameness of our national holiday is apparent and it does seem that our state militia supported by the citizen should each year have parades, patriotic speeches and demonstrations suitable to the occasion to keep alive the spark of patriotism-that only needs such things to fan it into a brilliant flame. ABOLISHING THE MASON AND DIXON LINE. WIPING OUT THE MASON AND DIXON LINE is a task that will require years to accomplish, perhaps centuries, for the feeling is just as bitter in some sections as it was before the war. President Wilson in a letter to the Lincoln Highway Association says: "I am sure that the entire country is interested to see to it that there should no longer exist a North or a South in this absolutely united country, which we all love, and that the imaginary Mason and Dixon line should be made once and for all a thing of the past, and as a small contribution to that end I earnestly suggest that the Lincoln Highway Association should grant the permission to place the official Lincoln Highway markers on the macadam roadway from Philadelphia to Washington through the properly selected streets of the latter city to the Lincoln monument, and from there through Frederick, Md., to Gettysburg." We pause to wonder whether this arrangement would be agreeable to the bourbon South; they are such an exclusive set perhaps they would not care to be identified with the "doe faced" Northerners and, too, there are some other things that need serious attention before we can all reside—peacefully—as one big family. We await a further motion. THE STORY TELLER TERS BEING WRITTEN BY RR ing the economical advancement of the visits in the interest of the Nation and which The Defender has been and favorable notice.

TYLER, describing the economical advancement of the race in the various cities he visits in the interest of the National Negro Business League, and which The Defender has been publishing, are attracting wide and favorable notice. These letters are not only a revelation of the wonderful progress the race is making in business and property ownership, but they are proving an inspiration. Mr. Tyler; from his long and active newspaper experience, has the knack of investigating carefully just what the race is doing in each community, and noting the influence the Afro-American's excursion into business is making for a better reciprocal feeling among the whites. The letters, both because of the facts and information they contain and the comprehensive and interesting style, must prove very helpful, encouraging and inspiring for those of the race who contemplate a business career. Because of his wide travels and newspaper experience, Mr. Tyler is today one of the best informed men of the race regarding the Afro-American's economic progress. We commend the letters as illuminating and inspiring.

The first penny milk station was opened this week at the Chicago Hebrew Institute and is financed by Mr. Loeb, president of the board of directors. One thousand glasses of milk were sold the first day, which proves conclusively how readily the public grasps at such a wholesome beverage. For one penny one can also purchase twelve crackers so for two cents quite a satisfying lunch-eon is obtainable. Of course it will readily be seen that the receipts fall far short of the actual expense but it is one practical way for those who have means to benefit the less fortunate ones. These life saving stations should be located in every poor and congested portion of the city. There is nothing more nutritious than milk but like everything else in a big city the cost is almost prohibitive to the poor—the ones that need it most.

PRESIDENT WILSON promised a delegation of citizens who waited upon him just after his inauguration that the places which heretofore were held by colored voters would be filled by other members of the race as the vacancies occurred. How well he has kept his promise let the colored men who were candidates for the ministership to Hayti and for the registership of the treasury attest. Today he makes publicity of his former promise. We hope that the fact of its publicity will insure fulfillment and that the Colored Democracy who fought, died and bled for the cause will not continue much longer to yearn for food from the public crib. The betting is ten to one that the President will suffer another lapse of memory and at the expiration of his term, if he keeps up his present record, there will not be a dark face ever appear at the government pay window.

LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS held their annual picnic in the public park the same day, several mischievous boys got into a wrangle which lasted perhaps five minutes, then followed an edict from his royal highness, Ernst Strehle, acting park commissioner. No more Negro picnics could be held in the park. Note that only a certain portion of the taxpayers were to have their rights curtailed, or rather taken from them purely and simply on account of their color. The whites of course were blameless, therefore they weren't even recipients of a slap on the wrist. St. Louisians are waging a bitter fight against this kind of unjust legislation and especially at the polls do they intend to make their protest telling, and that is the most effective way to reach an unprincipled class of people.

NOGASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES Dissipation—Nerve Power—Consumption. DISSIPATION. The average young person dissipates too much. Dissipation is the scattering of vital forces by excessive indulgence of any kind, and it always strikes at the most tender, vital or vulnerable point of our system—the nervous system. The prices of dissipation are disease, suffering and death. When the all-around sport—good-time fellow—meets an early untimely death it is usually by the way of consumption. In olden times we attributed early disease and death to God's anger coupled with HIS mercy to force the transgressor—the sinner—to repent of his wrong doings. But, we have learned better—we no longer attribute disease, suffering and death to an angry, displeased, avenging Providence, but to ignorance, carelessness and foolhardiness. Mr. Dietrich, who entered the lions' den just a few days ago after being carefully and repeatedly warned of the danger, and who was destroyed by the lions, showed no more foolhardiness based upon ignorance of the dire consequences, than the young man or woman who spends the greater part of the nights in dissipation in the way of excesses in the consumption of alcoholics—late suppers—mildnight dancing and carousing, being confined in foul aired billiard and pool halls, dance halls, and wine rooms, when they should be at home in bed restoring and giving themselves from seven to nine hours of sleep; thus conserving their health, laying up health to serve them in middle life and old age in the same way you lay aside dollars in your youth to tide you over that rainy day in old age. You cannot hope to be healthy, vigorous and strong in middle life if you grossly violate all the laws of Nature in your younger days. There is a close relation between disease and sin. The transgression of the laws of Nature is equal to the transgression of the laws of God and brings in its train a penalty which those who have transgressed must pay. --- --- 1 MONEY IN THESE BARGAINS BETTER THAN IN THE BANK The nervous system is an energizing system—it is the dynamic force that enables man to accomplish the works of the world. We should take great care of our nerve forces and should never over draw or strain our nervous system. Whatever makes for over fatigue—lowered vitality—is an overdraft on the nervous system. If you are tired, rest broken, weak—then you are bordering on degeneracy of the nervous system and this is a most potent factor in causing consumption. Very few people contract consumption when their nervous system is up to its full dynamic capacity. The factors which lower nerve vitality and predispose consumption CONSUMPTION, as we all know, is a house disease. In a large percentage of cases it is contracted in child life or in early adult life. Most nec- ple contract consumption and die with this disease between the ages of 15 and 35 years—this is the age in which youth is most exuberant and less amenable to advice, given most to dissipation and caring less for the conservation of its vital resources. In youth there is great affinity of the sexes. Self abuse—sowing of wild oats—the half-cladding of the body in order to attract the opposite sex, courting—late hours until the early morn—beau catching, etc. These acts undermine the nervous system and make good soil for tuberculosis. Tuberculosis or lung consumption thrive best when the nervous system is much exhausted. : Second group of factors—Loss of sleep, idleness, aimlessness, lack of purpose in life. So many young men try to get along on two or three hours' sleep. Not long ago in a restaurant a waiter was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, fast asleep. We cannot get along with sleeping on the job. Frilling all night or half of the night, joy riding to the small hours of morning, use of stimulants of all kinds to spur up the nervous system, excess in the use of tea, coffee, cigarettes and tobacco in all forms to quiet and keep up the nervous system are all great factors in producing consumption. Third group of factors.—Excess in eating, drinking, lack of proper exercise, lack of stimulating baths (keeping the skin clean and active) constipation, indigestion, diabetes, improper elimination, all interfere with the normal actions of the organs of the body, and render the system powerless in its self protection against the invading disease germs of consumption. The best bulwark or defense against consumption is moderation in the sexual habits, eating and drinking, and the absolute tabooling of all alcohols, avoiding over fatigue and treat yourself to from 7 to 9 hours' sleep. Take warm bath at night and a cold invigorating bath in the morning. Habituate yourself to a good nourishing, moderate diet well balanced in quality and quantity. See to it that your heart maintaining good, vigorous action—for the tissues need nourishing blood. Be wise and have frequent examinations of the human machine in the purpose of detecting any defects in any of the organs such as in ear lungs, kidneys (the urine is examined at least once in months). A blood pressure taken once in six months in people past 35 years of age. Give the human machine thought and attention that to inanimate machines and mal machines and by so will go far in keeping the human machine up to its efficiency. DEFEN LEGAL HELPS Defender's Legal Helps: I wish to be informed if there is any way by which a person accused of a crime can compel witnesses in another county to attend court during the trial, and if the person is poor and without money, how are such witnesses to be paid for their expenses in attending the trial The statute of Illinois provides that the county treasurer shall pay the expense of witnesses from different counties or a foreign state to attend the trial of one accused of a crime in courts of record, and that such witnesses shall receive compensation at the rate of five cents per mile each, and a further sum of one dollar per day for each day's actual attendance of the trial, whether said witnesses are attending at the request of the state's attorney, or the accused's attorney. If you are further interested, in the fees and salaries chapter, Hurd's Revised Statutes, section 17, will assist you much. Defender's Legal Helps: I understand that it is necessary to pay the officer $1 to serve a subpoena for a witness, and that unless the money is paid in advance he is not compelled to serve the same. Now, if a man is poor and has not the money, how can be compel the attendance of witnesses in his behalf? You do not say in which court you have reference to, or in which kind of cases, whether civil or criminal. But in all criminal cases there is no need of paying any fees to witnesses or to the officers of the court, and they are to issue and serve all necessary papers in the prosecution or defense without such advancement. If the officers refuse to issue the necessary papers they may be compelled to do so, and if the witnesses fail to attend court they may also be compelled to do so or placed in jail as for contempt of court.
