Paris, Sept. 25—France has again demonstrated her wisdom in relying upon the mighty Turcos in important engagements. Monday night her dauntless fighting men from Algiers thrust back seven miles the western wing of the German line. During the forty-eight hours ending at midnight there had been continuous fighting night and day. Both armies, despite extreme fatigue, show the utmost determination. General Joffre, who is enjoying robust health, holds in his hands every phase of the battle. Behind the firing line the commander of the allies confers daily with the generals in charge of the various allied forces. He has created a feeling of the greatest cheerfulness and confidence among the officers and men by his absolute indifference to political and other influences and by his desire to spare sacrifices. DEATH CLAIMS HUSBAND AND FATHER Mrs. J. W. Dunmore Bereaved Twice in One Week. Mrs. J. W. Dunmore has the sympathy of the Defender staff and many friends through the bereavement sustained by the death of her aged father, Mr. Brimby of Washington, D. C., and her husband two days later at his home, 4120 South Campbell avenue. Impressive fraternal services were held for her husband at his residence Friday night by Fidelity Court, H. of J.; Corinthian Commendery, K. T.; St. Mark's R. A. Chapter and John Jones Lodge, A. F. & A. M. PROMINENT VISITOR FROM DIXON, ILL Among the prominent visitors last week was Mr. A. M. Grimes of Dixon, Ill.

While in the city he did not fail to renew his subscription to the Chicago Defender. Some one confused Frank A.

Morris, Grand Master, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows VOL. IX., NO. 39. Paris, Sept. 25.—France has again demonstrated her wisdom in relying upon the mighty Turces in important engagements. Monday night her dauntless fighting men from Algiers thrust back seven miles the western wing of the German line. During the forty-eight hours ending at midnight there had been continuous fighting night and day. Both armies, despite extreme fatigue, show the utmost determination not to yield an inch of ground without a terrible struggle, but the fresher troops at the disposal of the allied commanders have gradually forced the Germans to recode. Turcos Show Daring. The Turcos are adding daily to their record of daring achievements. Late last night in a costly bayonet encounter they broke through the German lines without firing more than a few shots and recaptured and brought back four field guns which the French troops had abandoned the previous day. They seemed to disdain the murderous rifle and machine gun fire poured into them, refusing to listen to the officers who tried to keep them under cover. Cold steel again played a considerable part today in the battle of the enormous hosts fighting along the Alse, the Oise and the Woevre. The most remarkable point about the encounters is that the troops scarcely see each other before they come hand to hand. The Germans Suffer Great Loss. The recklessness displayed at the beginning of the hostilities, with the resultant carriage through the use of machine guns, has almost disappeared and practically every movement of the attacking and defending troops is carried out with great caution until the moment of actual contact. The Germans have suffered most in these engagements, for the French troops from Africa and the British infantry are adepts with the bayonet, and they wait in the trenches until their adversaries are so close that a quick dash brings them together. SATURDAY NOT FRANK A. YOUNG Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY CALLS WOMAN FROM CHURCH AND KILLS HER David Young Jealous of Ada Lowe, Shoots Her Near St. Steven's A. M. E. Church—Excitement at Conference in Session at Time. Friday night last residents in the vicinity of West Austin and Lincoln avenue were startled and excitement broke up the meeting of the A. M. E. conference at St. Steven's church when David Young, 3444 Wabash avenue, shot and killed Ada Lowe. The couple had left the church but a few moments before. Young shot the woman three times and then turned the weapon on himself, but inflicted only a flesh wound in the abdomen. He told the police he had been married to the woman a number of years and had unbraided her for allowing other men to pay her attentions. From other sources it was learned that the young woman's name was Ada Gilford. Funeral services were held at King & Hill's undertaking parors Monday, and the remains were shipped to Princeton, Ill., for interment. The coroner's inquest will be held Oct. 13th. CHICAGO CONFERENCE FINISHES WORK Bishop B. F. Lee Appoints Ministers Monday Night—But Few Changes Made in the District. The thirty-second annual session of the Chicago Conference of the A. M. E. church came to a close Monday night. Bishop B. F. Lee delivered a very able address before making appointments. Dr. Louis P. Finwick, in an address, called attention of the ministers to Dr. W. A. Evans' Health Notes in the Chicago Tribune and forgot to say one word about the Health Notes of Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams which go into homes of every state in the union and foreign countries. After this address every minister took exception to what Dr. and Rev. Finwick said, but made no public statement. Dr. Finwick thought he saw a Tribune reporter in the house when he made the statement, thinking he would get space in the Tribune, but he was mistaken. In his closing remarks, the bishop stated to the ministers that each and every one had done well, and had done so well that he would return many of them to their same places and others he would send to better places, and that he hoped all of them would do so well during the present year that he could send them all to better places in 1915. One of the principal acts of the general conference was to set aright the difficulty existing between St. Mark's C. M. E. church and Rev. T. L. Scott, its former pastor, and Grant Chapel, and to admit Rev. T. L. Scott and his 250 members into the A. M. E. connection. Tributes by the A. M. E. C. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion were paid to Bishop Lee for the manly stand which he took in this matter. Rev. Jonathan Brewer, who with the assistance of Rev. Harry Carroll of the M. E. church entertained the conference so highly and who received compliments from all sides, will not remain at St. Stephen's A. M. E. church, but at his own request will go to the Kentucky conference, where he sees a brighter future for a young man. He will be succeeded by Rev. W. B. Taylor from the northwest, who has accumulated approximately $20,000. The conference adjourned to meet with St. Mark's A. M. E. church in Milwaukee, Wis., in September, 1915. BETHEL ONLY A.M.E. CHURCH IN CITY FREE FROM DEBT Tuesday night, 3,000 persons gathered in and around Bethel to witness the burning of the mortgage, which had been against the church for more than 42 years. Those who took part in the program are too numerous to mention. Rev. Smythe, the pastor, stated among other things that they had raised $15,000 during the year. "We have paid every penny we owe to any one as well as both the principal and the interest on the church, and kept up current expenses. We have given to charity during the year $1,300. We have raised for the connection $1,500; we have put one person in the Old Folks' home, and paid $100; we have taken care of the sick, and we have buried those who died who had nothing. We have provided for those who have been out of work. Tomorrow will start a new era in the history of Bethel and in the near future we will build a new church. We have planned to build an old folks' home for the aged members of the church." The large audience was served with refreshments at the expense of the church and more than 26 gallons of ice cream was passed around. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves and returned home, feeling thankful that one African Methodist Episcopal church in Chicago was free of debt. The more you learn the less you'll earn—fer landlords and other parasites now wax fat and sleek on your ignorance. --- CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 26, 1914 LIEUT.

Secure $1,500 by Subscriptions and Entertainments—City of Houston to Contribute $1,500 Annually. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 25.—Miss Bessie Osborne, an Afro-American librarian of Houston, Texas, is visiting Los Angeles and reports the thriving condition of the Carnegie library recently erected in her city. The great desire of the Afro-Americans of Texas for access to a well-stocked library was communicated to the secretary Dr. Booker T. Washington, Emmett J. Scott, a former resident of Houston, who pointed out to Andrew Carnegie the benefits he would be bestowing if he would accede to the wishes of these ardent book lovers. The Houstonians set to work to raise money for the purchase of a desirable site. At the end of eight months $1,500 was secured by means of subscriptions and the giving of entertainments. Carnegie promptly sent his check for $15,000, the city of Houston signed an agreement to contribute $1,500 annually for the upkeep of the library, and the building was soon in process of construction. Miss Osborne Appointed. An examination was speedily held for the position of librarian, which was attended by four Afro-American applicants, among whom were Miss Bessie Osborne, who received the highest percentage. Miss Osborne was given the position as chief librarian with the stipulation that she enter the library training school in Louisville, Ky. At the completion of the library Miss Osborne, who had spent three months at the training school in Kentucky studying the "Dewey System," was placed in charge of the work and supplied with an assistant, whom she has given a similar training. 30,000 Population. The Afro-American population of Houston, Texas, is estimated at about 30,000, who are regarded for the most part as an energetic, progressive people; a goodly number of whom are engaged in the professions, there being as many as eighty-five teachers in the city. The Afro-American people are making a creditable showing in most of the cities of Texas. In Austin, the capital of the Lone Star state, there are 11,000 Afro-Americans who own $300,000 worth of real estate and have $30,000 deposited to their credit in the banks of the city, and that their business men have invested $25,000 in such enterprises as drug stores, undertaking, printing, furniture stores, carpentry and stone contracting, printing, transfer business, blacksmith grocery stores and truck gard MISS HAZEL HARRISON ARRIVES IN NEW YORK Kemper Herrald arrives from Berlin —Major R. R. Jackson Stops at New York Enroute to Windy City. Special to the Chicago Defender. New York, Sept. 25—Miss Hazel Harrison, who went abroad sometime ago to finish her musical education, is back in the States on her way to Chicago. While in New York she gave a special recital at the home of Bishop Walters. Among those present were Bishop and Mrs. Walters, Mr. Harry Burleigh, Mr. Melville Charlton, Mr. J. Rosamond Johnson and Mr. C. Luckyth Roberts. Miss Harrison acquitted herself nicely and displayed much ability. Major R. R. Jackson and W. G. Anderson, who attended the B. M. C. convention at Boston, Mass., stopped in New York to greet their many friends; then left for Chicago. The wise and courageous mayor of Boston issued an order recently to all theatrical managers of that city to discontinue the use of the word nigger being used by any of the performers. Surely but slowly the Afro-American is coming into his own along the line of respect and consideration. Mr. Kemper Herrald, the musician, has just arrived from Berlin on his way to Chicago. He stopped in New York long enough to fill a three days' engagement at the Lafayette theater. DR. W. R. PETTI-FORD DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS DR. W. R.

"I was long curious to know," said a Pike county, Pennsylvania, bear expert, "why it was that the bear has that peculiarly clumsy and apparently painful gait, but I never found any one who could give me a satisfactory explanation of it, so I went out and killed a bear to find out for myself. Then I found another one, I found in the first place, that the bear has no clavicles in the shoulder to keep the shoulder bones steadily apart, as is usual in animals, and consequently when the bear moves his forelegs the shoulder blades work or slide loosely on the sides. "Then, again, the bear has the ankle joints of his hind legs plumb on the ground, or rather as parts of the hind foot. That peculiar structure gives the first point of the hind legs a bond in the opposite direction from that which it has in the legs of other animals. "This loose and queer rigging of the joints of the legs and shoulders of the bear gives him that odd wabble or shuffle with which he makes his way along, although clumsy and retarding as that gait appears, it can produce a speed and agility on occasion that is not always possible. The foot of the bear form, moreover, gives the animal a steady and secure footing, no matter what the appearance may be to the contrary. "The unique position of the hind ankle joints as to the formation of the hind feet is what enables the bear to rise to his feet wi' such facility, and to maintain a secure position standing on the ground, with his knees in grasping or striking with his well-known readiness and effectiveness. "The absence of clavicles in the shoulders is what gives the bear the great hugging or compressing power in his forelegs, which is of the greatest service to him in climbing and in dealing with his foes. In fact, if he had the shoulder formation characteristic of other animals he could not climb a tree at all, for he could not accomplish it by his claws as the cut and squirrel and raccoon and other animals of arboreal habit do, nor would the bear dog need to stand in fear of that terrible embrace of his." Infantry Decides the Battle While there have been many discussions as to the relative value of the different branches of an army there is little doubt, according to a writer in the Scientific American, that it is the infantry that wins battles. While it is probable the success of a battle will depend to a large extent on the support of the field artillery, it is important that the principal and most important elements of the infantry, which in practically every case must decide the final issue. The cavalry may be the first to be drawn into a battle, and the artillery may destroy the enemy's artillery, but a battle is never won until the infantry has driven back the enemy's lines. The usual mode of advancing for the infantry is to deploy them in a line with a long interval between each soldier. This, naturally, is for the purpose of offering a smaller target for the enemy, but makes it more difficult for the enemy, the leaders to keep as good control, and for that reason one of the objects of field artillery is to make the enemy's troops deploy early. The infantry soldier is armed in all the countries with a rifle and bayonet. The rifle is the weapon upon which reliance is placed, the bayonet being used only as a last weapon, when in a hand-to-hand encounter with the enemy. Activities of Women.

You get a person wasting time on a game where only billiards balls kiss and all that the players sometimes hug is a cushion! Two Souls With But, Etc Two scolists meet and made much over each other.

BUILDING "CASTLES IN AIR" Proceeding That Seems Foolish, If No Reprehensible, to Some, May Readily Be Explained. Those who build castles in the air are occasionally spoken of by more matter-of-fact persons with brutal and noisy derision, but oftener with a kind of tender pity which they find, not unjustifiably, far more exasperating. It implies so complete a misunderstanding of the builders' frame of mind. They are supposed to live in a vale of disappointments, but if they be out and out-workmen with a love of their art they do, in fact, nothing of the kind. Long before one castle has been built, before so much as a telltale heart peared in the walls, they are planning the foundations of another on a larger and more gorgeous scale. When the crash ultimately comes it is unheard, for the din of cranes and hammers are ready are hard at work again. We have it on Sam Weller's authority that to take to building houses is "a medical term for being incurable." And very fortunately that is, a fortiori, still more true of castles. It is not however, this true of castles. It is not that, however, this made up of disillusionment that is the reason for the suggestion that those who indulge in day dreams that are so besotted as to be alive that they will all of them come true. This is at once a slur on their intelligence and on their ability to play their own game properly; it shows that the sympathetic and stupid creatures who make it could never acquire the rudiments of the game if they were to try for a thousand years. As long as the player is trampled by doubts and wondering whether anything so beautiful could ever realise, he would need a necessity curb his fancy and turn sadly back from some glorious flight; but, once he has as much as half admitted to himself that he is moving in the realms of fantasy, he can soar away to heights unknown. Putting altogether on one side the light that they give in the making, it may well be a question whether any matter is to be derived from castics in the air. In Tobacco a Drug? An interesting case of splitting hairs has arisen in Ireland in the administration of the national insurance act as to whether tobacco is a drug, a necessity or a luxury, all three views being taken by different authorities, says London TIRLits. It appears that the superintending medical officer of the Dublin district recommended that a consumptive patient coming under the provisions of the act be given tobacco for smoking to comfort him in his last days, offering to pay for the weed himself, but the insurance committee decided that the tobacco was necessary to the patient's treatment and sent in the bill to the insurance commissioners. Two weeks later the local authorities received a lengthy communication demanding an explanation of their action in charging the government with a shilling's worth of tobacco. Their reply was that tobacco was recognized as a drug in the Irish codex under the title of noccultum, and the government has been prescribed by a registered practitioner. Thereupon the commissioners consulted learned K. C.'s and they are still wrestling with the subject. Meanwhile the patient is dead, the tobacco has been smoked and the expense of the disputation has already reached a hundred times the cost of the original tin of shag. His First Thought A well-known athlete says that on entering a Turkish bath one night he found a stranger struggling in the swimming pool. There was nobody near, and the man was evidently unable to swim, having jumped in probably without ascertaining whether the water would be above his head. The athlete swam to the assistance of the struggling man. Grasping him by the hair, he towed him to the side of the tank and assisted him to hang on until he recovered his breath. What were the first words uttered by the rescued one? Did he stammer at thanks to his human preserver? No. The human mind is curious afair. As the half drowned in memoirs gled back to consciousness memories of an old jest seemed to fit through his brain, for he said: "Lucky for me I wasn't bald head!" No Loafing Allowed. A well-known theatrical manager, more famous, if possible for the "breaks" he made than for his many successes, attending the rehearsal of one of his plays, noticed that a man in the audience who had to play the trombone was holding the instrument in front of him and doing nothing. Mr. Stetson at once called him to account. "Say," said he, "what do you mean by not working along with the other fellows." "By, Mr. Stetson," said the musician, "I can't play; I have 19 bars rest." "Not on your life!" replied the angry manager. "I don't pay anyone for resting. Either you play when the other fellows do, or you clear out. See?" Surgery in the Air Sitting astride a steel beam on the highest section of a new theater under construction a doctor recently chloroformed a structural ironworker, and snapped into place the bones of a dislocated shoulder. When the accident occurred the workman was left helpless, as both arms were disabled, and there was no means of descent except a series of ladders. The doctor removed his hat, coat and vest, and began the dangerous ascent. A workman followed with the doctor's surgical case. After the operation the workman was able to make his way down the ladder and was taken to his home.

The museum also exhibits a tuberculosis institute about $5,000, is as perfect and complete as it can be made, and is augmented by selections from the eight hundred slides of the institute. These slides will be used in most of the programs by the lecturer. A number of the public and parochial schools in the community of the Raymond school have decided to come in with a special "day," so that they can experience a Raymond school day. Keeping track of other days. For this reason it seems desirable to particularly invite the adults in the evening, reserving the afternoons especially for the children. Those versed in the mortality figures of tuberculosis tell us that the death rate among Afro-American people is higher than that among whites, and the reasons for this will doubtless be brought out by some of the speakers. It is also less prove interesting.

Alberta, Canada, Sept. 25—(Special)—The Afro-Americans of Canada are showing their true spirit of loyalty by coming forward in large numbers to form a brigade which will be sent directly to the front just as sood as they receive the necessary training. In fact the majority of them need but not the training, as they have seen service in the notable Ninth and Tenth cavalry or the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry, U. S. A. Many of them have not received their final naturalization papers. Nevertheless their actions in this matter prove conclusively that after their ancestors were mobilized by just such actions as the Germans are now forcing upon those helpless Belgians, their hearts and souls are from the downrodden. The boys are very anxious for their many friends in the U. S. A. to know of the steps they are taking and also their whereabouts, as many of them may not return.

For eight days the people have been crowding our st.ets to death. Monday was "kide" day and we have a few here. * * * * * The game Sunday was a draw on account of darkness. It was a nip and tuck game again. For the great three innings the giants had their combatants defeated. The score stood to 6 to 0. But in the last of the third the visitors made six runs, tying the score. After that it was seasaw. In the fourth the visitors made two more, after on the Giants caught up. Then a storm came and the visitors made five to 13 to 8. It looked weary for Poston, but it finally made two more, making the score 10 to 13. Then they were shut out, and in came the T. C.'s, who were shut out. The Giants got in and made four scores, making the score 14 to 13. The Giants' roots became frantic with their enthusiasm. The T. C.'s got in and stole one run on a pass ball, and the manager declared the game a draw at the conclusion of the last of the eight, with the score 14 to 14. I was one of the most exciting games of the season. Tomorrow the game was the Miss Daisy!

Cossack wraps, they hit the coast. Sug sleeves are used for day, loose ones for evening, the rule for coats. Many of the new tailored suits are the very height of severity. Broadcloth and velvet will be combined and trimmed with fur of the shirt. Circular skirts and tight basque, the latter mostly short, in the front rank for fall and winter. Suit coats will be long, having the lower part full and flaring. These often take the place of separate coats. Redingote effects are very smart. Tunices made long in back to reach the hem of the shirt are shorter in front, or long in front and short in back, or full length all around. Wide girdles still prevail and mostly of contrasting materials. In the millinery world, hats are from the smallest to the largest. Ostrich is used in every prevailing manner. Gold and silver ornaments are stunning on the Kaagian turban. Picture hats are worn with the long capes for evening. TEENAN JONES IN MILWAUKEE (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 25.—Mr. Henry (Teenan) Jones of Chicago was in the city this week. Mr. Jones is looking over sites for similar place here. Colonel Paul Bruce, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Pochelu Falliver, left for New Orleans, his home, on Friday. Colonel Bruce has many friends in Chicago and has visited Chicago for the last twelve or fourteen years. He stands away up in G. A. R. circles, being past department commander of Louisiana and commander of R. G. Shaw Post No. 18 of New Orleans. PROGRESSIVE SIGNS OF THE TIMES During the last week or so a large number of factories throughout the country have reopened, while others are putting on additional help. It is also reported that the large mail order houses of Chicago are doing a much larger business at this time than they were during the same period last year, and that the country is in a very good financial condition at the present time. Our country becomes the universal trade center and prepares to utilize tremendous opportunities for business expansion. The way fate has suddenly thrown upon the United States the duty and opportunity to care for other nations' necessities and to become the trading center of the world was certainly not to the liking. America's allies have the advantages and trade conquests from other nations' misfortunes, and the least from an international tragedy the like of which the history of the human race has never seen before. The European war which so suddenly broke out, involving all of Europe's great and most attractive nations, caused an immediate interruption of business relations of the entire world. Europe's international trade ceased when it was sharpened. Transportation of goods and wares came to a standstill, leaving our country the only great and dependable basis of supplies. This is the hour of opportunity. This last week or so of Chicago's largest real estate operators have made exceptional inducements to those desirous of purchasing homes, and a large number of the readers of this paper have availed themselves of these opportunities. Are you one of them? Chicago's largest real estate operators, and a large number of this time making exceptional inducements in prices and terms to those who are contemplating buying a home or making an investment. See their ad on last page of this issue. At Sunday School Jimmy returned from his first Sunday school breathless with excitement. "Why, Jimmy," asked his puzzled mother, "where did you get two penny coins?" Jimmy, proudly "they passed around a basket of pennies, and I took one." Women and the Koran The primrose path was no blithe and gladsome way for the Mohammed woman. Originally the penalty for female unchastity was imprisonment for life. This was changed later to stoning for married women and 100 lashes and exile for one year for unmarried free women. For slave women one-half of the penalty was imposed. = DO PROFESSIONAL MEN REALIZE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY? Physicians, Ministers and Lawyers in Review-Do Present Members of These Professions Merit Childhood Respect? Have the Stars Lost Their Bright message—The Past and Present—A Short But Pertinent Talk. Written for The Chicago Defender. Written for The Chicago Defender. When we were children our reverence for the family physician, the minister, the lawyer and all persons of prominence was marked with the degree of respect we had for our natural leaders, dignified, manly and courteous. They looked upon us in a kindly manner, ever ready to render the high service of their profession. We looked upon them respectfully as martyrs, men who had given the best years of their life to their calling that they could serve humanity best. Thus it was a few years ago. The professional man was proud to a dignity, even though local in fame, he need not exchange for that of the President of the United States. Was It Love? Was it the love of the profession in those days, coupled with intense knowledge of its full responsibility to the public? Was it a dignity that was natural and logical as the result of high moral courage of those who wore the mantel of the profession? Oh, we wonder if in these days of democratic ideals, whether or not that high reverence is lost and cast aside, the world is yawning and yawning not for more professional men, but better professional men. We know that she seeks each day to find the hero who bears love and dignity under the shield of professional conduit.' The Bright Star Attract The Bright Stars Attract. The light that shines, the star which beams brightest we are apt to notice, to love and to follow. The world cannot follow darkness, it seeks light. Likewise in the professionalizing, professional dignity, oh! it is radiance and light. It must give forth light or else none save the grave scientific man, with powerful microscope, may discover you. Honesty, courage and manliness are the only means by which you may ever shine in the calling of God's noble men. Diploma Only One Requisite. A certificate from a college or a university will not of itself give you power. Health, wealth and influence with its professionalism cannot add it unto you. Professional dignity, oh! the charms of its power are magical and wonderful; its sources come from higher influences above. A willingness to serve, a purpose to serve, a resolve to be God's instrument in clay. We can become great leaders, we serve a high and noble purpose among us. Dishonesty, perfidy, lying, cheating, pity lorey are as unprofessional as they are criminal, and deserve not respect but severe punishment. Every professional man owes to the community in which he lives respect, honesty and matuliness. His conduct at all times should be exemplary. He has the least reason in the world to complain of the people. His duty is to lead and inspire, to give light and hope to the struggling masses, and if he cannot do that, behind his name the world shall mark the cross of shame. May we pray and hope that our professional men around Chicago may assume the role of professional dignity, and like stars they will shine!

MARSHALL FIELD & CO COURTHOUSLY ANSWERED CELIA PARKER WOOLLEY Last week, Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley of the Frederick Douglass Center sent a letter to Marshall Field, asking that some other name be used instead of "Nigger Brown." The following letter is a reply from Marshall Field & Co. to C. P. Woolley's inquiry as to the use of "Nigger Brown" as a term describing a quality of goods. Mrs. J. H. Woolley, President, Frederick Douglass Center. wassau avenue. Dear Madam, in reply to your courteous letter of thanks to our people, while familiar with the name "Nigger Brown" (which, they say, has become rather common in the trade since the 1st of July) to designate a particular shade of brown and not a kind of goods, do not know where the name originated, but presume that it was the manufacturing trade. It is not true that our people have used this shade of brown and advertised it to that, we find that they have discouraged the use of the name by our sales people in any connection. However, as you no doubt know, it is impossible to absolutely control this condition. We can assure you, how ever, that we are not in sympathy with the term, will not use it in our advertising, and will do all we can to discourage and make the same may quickly some usages in the trade, we feel it must be short lived as an inlegant expression. Yours very truly, Marshall Field & Co. By J. T. Gilmour MRS. ELLEN YOUNG MAR- RIES AT HAMPTON, VA Hampton, Va. Sept. 25.

Greatest Musical Nation To say of any one nation that it has "given us the best and most charming music" would be a rather hazardous statement. Italy has given us much fine music, and so has France, and Austria, and England, and even the United States. Perhaps German has the best claim to be called other national music. Certainly no other national music than better music than that which was composed by Beethoven, Mozart and other artists from the Futherland.

Detroit, Mich., Sept. 25.—Mr. Edward Hawkins, 45 years old, a well-known railroad man, who resided at 3310% Rhodes avenue, Chicago, died at Grace Hospital in this city Monday, September 14th. His friend, M. Gable Davis, had the body prepared for burial and shipped to Hollie Green's burial establishment in that city. To this telegram can be added the statement that Mr. Hawkins was well and favorably known in Chicago, having made his home with Mr. and Mrs. William Lewis, 32110 Rhodes avenue, for the past two years. He was in employ of the Illinois Central R. R. for five years. He was hired by his employers and enjoyed long vacations with full pay. The company gave him all of his clothes and paid the entire expense of his funeral. He was noted for his gentlemanly qualities and had many friends in and out of railroad circles. The deceased was born in Florence, Ala., where his remains were moved. He married his brother, J. C. Hawkins, and he is to accompany the body. According to his will, real estate and money in the First National bank are bequeathed to his brother. To Withstand Earthquakes Earthquake construction has now reached a very practical stage in the seismic districts of Italy, where all new buildings are being erected under strict supervision with respect to their ability to resist earthquake shocks. Professor Omori, the Japanese authority, has estimated that 99.8 per cent of the deaths in the great Messina earthquake of 1908 would have been prevented if the buildings had been properly constructed. Lime Mortar Is Agglent The use of lime as binding material for mortar originated in the remote past. It is probable that some savages when using limestone rocks to confine their fire noticed that the stones were changed by the action of the heat. A passing shower may have slaked the lime to a paste, and they discovered that the paste was smooth and sticky and was a better material than clay to fill the crevices in their crude dwellings. From this discovery it was but a step to add sand to the paste in order to produce a mortar. Young Cuckoos Are Jealous The English cuckoo, like the American cowbird, leaves its single egg in the nests of birds much smaller than itself, like the hedge sparrow, the pied wagtail and the weadow pipit.

There are few white men who can impersonate a "down yonder colored man" with any degree of success and this presentation was no exception to the rule. George Yeoman, billed as "Just a jester," had no business in a refined house like the Grand. His jokes were very suggestive and not a joke. The American Whirlwind Beauties shouted the bunch, by the策 far the best on the bill. They were bright and clever, sang and danced in a captivating way and were costumed elaborately. The houses were unusually good. ON AND OFF THE STROLL By Columbus Bragg. Scooped! Those who failed to hear Prince Unfreene Kabrega in his travelogue, "A Trip Around the World," and see his stereotype views of his own "Father's Kingdom," missed a rare treat, indeed. You left as it were the shores of America and made a very interesting trip with the Prince through his native land, heard him speak in his native tongue and interpret each word. His father's subjects in their native dress, dressed as nature itself in its innocent simplicity, austere dignity, their frank, honest, brotherly treatment of one another, would make us civilians blush with shame. Being ignorant, they are naturally superstitious, and the Prince showed us how easy it was for the English and Germans to acquire their riches by deceiving the natives. One instance where an African chief was given an accordion for a thousand dollars' worth of ivory and mahogany in England. This instrument sells for $1.50. The chief liked the music but has no one to teach him. Their own crude instruments, their weapons of war, poisoned arrows, manner of curing disseased, was very interesting, indeed. Those that did not see it missed a very rare treat at the Fulton A. M. E. church. He was assisted by Mr. M. C. Craig Halsey, America's ooughly it stands the nature of every number she readers. In her reader vanishes and we see the n. nette impersonations. Now the dramatic temporal scale was brought to the climax when the madame portrayed her situations. As a baby can laugh or cry so true to nature, so articulist must be one of those supernatural human beings. Still, perhaps, but distinctly not human by its supremacy of superb grace. Now, this occasionally provided emphatic contrata to the average dramatic reader as she symbolized herself in a class by herself, unequal in depicting the poet's character, and words may be finely interpreted correctly. Mme. Harey by her inherent sense of character, her judgment, taste and discretion in accession. The petty, chic madame maniac weak, designating, furtive yet passionate to creature intensely human. Every woman in the audience responded to her and manies grimly over her. Neither could resist her nor forbear. She's venomous, but lightly, casually and politely venomous. She is a weeper. But there is a pliancy in calculated taintures that does not escape the audience, however blind they may be to the dramatic art. This means insistent, real acting; shades herself with an amazing deftness and pre- son. She has a sourishing glee to polish, no elegance, no technical efficacy or force—just big, splendid in harbor a prodigial prodigality, which clearly saturates the atmosphere when a character is within her mental and social grasp. Her natural talent places her to know, and could play the hero- THE DANCE season born to brutality and violence she knows the beauty among the lowly, as the reckless romance of the Could the brilliant little dynamo of creative and biologic genius be trailed through the Ethiopian classical play called "Akhjah"? I yes, emphatically, as she was first in America of color to portray without expensive setting, artistic solace of beautiful clothes, scenes, social advantages, she would expand and bloom and mellow into a mistress of craft. If the management of the "Akhjah" can retain her services, the play would sure be a success. An uncrowded queen of drama, humanity's sweetest masterpiece. No, Mabel, she has played leading roles for years. Miss Caroline Lillison, the cute and dapper ragtime queen of the gay stroll, holds her own at the popular Elite cafe. Now, I don't want to be misguiding in my effort to emphasize the artistic side that attributes to the line of entertaining human beings. She has secrets, somehow, of captivating her audience. Her impersonations are a study, but proofs of calculation do not weigh it down, for execution is made bright with capriciousness and enlivened with fluent transition from exasperating unreason to endearing petulance. This means incessant shading, and from the slightly to the diabolical. Just simply a cute brown doll. She does a dance entitled "A-La-Deathie do Grouche," and she kills it, too. She is ably assisted by Miss Lola Hicks, the premier, chic comedienne, so petite, very Bohemian; a beautiful, superb figure, singing demon who is entertaining instead of the cobblerist, Miss Salle Lee Johnstone, so petite, very Vienna, who is in the hospital sleek. We miss so much, as no one can replace that charming personality and amable way. They are supported very much by the crack drummer in their gyration and evolution of dancing by Mr. Don Causy with enough traps to start a musical store. Augmented or extra at this resort. Miss Lillian Gary, the dashing soubretto, is in the city from the East, Peaches! Miss Lucile Hegemin, the real inspiration in herself, 'a very fascinating brown skin dream,' looks like an idyll of youth gushing forth from nature's fountain with a beautiful voice, makes her audience blissfully happy at the Minerai Springs cafe. Miss Esmerelda Statham, the cute pocket edition of Mille, Anna Held, and who has such a sweet disposition, is now entertaining some visitors from the East, who were formerly of the "Dark Town Pollies"—Miss Ruth Cherry and Miss Rosena Alexander, two dreams. To add to the stroll's knockouts, say, what is the matter that the little dainty Esmerelda don't entertain in the cabarres anymore? Rich? Miss Lula Moore sang some very sweet numbers at the Poll cafe the other night. Should try vaudeville, as she is a super entertainer under the management of Mr. Lou Davis, one of Chicago's most popular mixologists. His personality has a charm to it. One looking for real amusement will find it there in plenty. Miss Ethel-Ridley, the charming singer and dancer, is very sick at her residence. Miss Sallie Loving, dreamcrown brown doll, is holding the fashionable audience that attends the Ellwood theater with the assistance of Mr. Ollie Powers, the operatic tenor singer, and an orchestra with a kick to it. Some music! The Abma great spirit wishes a speedy recovery of all sick, as it has power of the blood of maiden's hearts that have been preserved for centuries. Mme. Ella E. Watkins was on the South Side Sunday night. Of course, the Defender reporter saw the North Side's popular musician, and very proudly she passed the city health department's rigid examination for an undertaker, being the only lady to pass out of eight white ladies and forty white men. It shows what study and applications of talent can do with a chance. Give us some Afro-American police women and they would clean the stroll. Believe me! Call again, Mme. Watkins; we strollers will make it might pleasant. Miss Ruth Belmont, the star cabaret of the Chateau Gardens, is singing a new ditty entitled "If You Look at Me, You'll Love Me." More truth than poetry. And Mr. Jelts, the popular baritone, writes "Watch Her Big Brown Eyes." Very catchy. They sing in the show place of the city. Miss Rebecca Allen, the fashion plate model, still holds sway at the popular Plaza casa, assisted by Mr. Oscar Holden, one of Chicago's best pianists. Say, I am not a mind reader. When you play the churches leave your notice in care of Miss Irene Shadd, the notice Mr Alphonso Young and Mr. Vincent Saunders take pleasure in announcing the opening of last season's most popular dancing school in the prettiest hall in the west. The beauty and magnificence of it is indescribable. To appreciate its beauty it must be seen. The same methods employed to make last season's class so successful will be maintained this year, this is indeed a class with a reputation to sustain and every possible effort will be made to uphold the splendid reputation acquired and the high esteem the dancing public has bestowed upon it.

DANCING POPULAR IN THE WINDY CITY Six New Schools to Open at Johnson's New Hall—Best Order to Be Maintained—The Defender the Medium to Advertise. Chicago, like New York and Boston, has "gone wild" over dancing and especially the latest dances. No more dances like the dances new ones have taken their places. Dances today are more graceful. One has to be taught: this done, it becomes a "joy forever." Every precaution is observed to have the dances move in grace, style and discard all forms of immodesty. The classes that advertise in the DEFENDER make it a specialty of observing these rules. Johnson's hall, which will be open soon, will have six new schools. The managers of the leading classes have chosen this paper to advertise because it will bring results. A DEFENDER report should make mention of the schools which use this paper's columns. It reaches all the homes of the young people. To be informed on the latest dances and schools, read the DEFENDER. MRS. E. L. GOAL'S PUPILS GIVE FINE RECITAL Mrs. E. L. Goal, a student of Prof. S. T. Lee, gave a piano recital, Tuesday evening at St. Mark's M. E. church, 50th and Wabash avenue. She was able assisted by Miss Ella Marshall, a reader of Vicksburg, Miss.; Mesdames Alice Clark, first soprano; R. J. Johnson, second soprano; Nellie Gregg, first alto; L. Antoinette Brown, second alto; Lottie Sensabaugh, accompanist. The recital was well attended and the proceeds went toward the pipe organ fund. Mrs. Goal's studio is at 3800 Rhodes avenue. VASSAR, THE SCHOOL Famous Peerless Orchestra Draws Large Crowds at This Popular Dancing Class. When Clarence Miller pulls the bow on his violin, and eight pieces join in, and W. Haskins says, "Eh," it's "sweet dreams" for the dancers at the Vassar Dancing school, Wednesday evening, at Masonic Temple, 40th and State streets. THE DEFENDER reporter was there to get an ad but the music was so sweet, the hall so cool and sanitary that he just had to lay business aside and get a "tantalizing brown" and do the Don Ton and several other late dances. There was a good crowd—a pretty set of girls there. It resembled a fall party. New gowns of latest style and fashion were worn. The feature of this school is the famous Peerless orchestra.

Adams Has Hard Time to Keep Dave Manson and James Woodward in Style. Club members of Appomattox club bet on "Bill" Adams being a first class tailor but he can't teach them to be stylish. Last Sunday was a beautiful day and everyone was "dressed to kill." Mr. Wood-rd entered the club with a brown suit, brown hat, brown tie, brown shirt, brown cane and brown socks. In came Dave Manson with a light suit and straw hat. Style had no charms for "Dave" for he was looking for comfort. "It's not the clothes that makes the man; it's the man who makes the clothes," said "Dave", and there was a big laugh. PARKS SEES PARKS.

Gresham) Did You Every Drink Perry? Did you ever drink perry? It is to pears what cider is to apples, and although it is little known in America, it is widely used in England and especially good pears, which make especially good perry, are grown for that purpose. "Cute." The word "cute," which is a shortened form of acute, is not classical English, and it is not to be wondered at that you failed to find it in the dictionaries you consulted. It is a colloquial Americanism and might almost be classed as slang. It has two meanings. In the first place it means clever, in looking out for ones own advantage, in being smart, as "a cute trick." It also means small and pretty, attractive, as "a cute baby," "a cute little watch." Giving One's Best "The essential relations of men and women to society are not altered by their entering into marriage relations with one another. Whatever was owed before marriage, of gift, of self development, is still collectible and in the same coin. It admits no theory of life. If it fails, your best, your supreme contribution, let us have them; in any case, let us have the best of you."—Mary Austin City Name of Indian Orchid The name of the city of Toronto is of Indian origin, and its meaning is "a place of meeting." The site of Toronto before the arrival of the white man was an established rendezvous among the Indian tribes of the surrounding districts. Vindicated at Last.

Master Joseph Wacker, the nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mackey, 3169 State street, returned to the city; a few days ago from his home in Richmond, 1910 Master Joseph Walker. Ky., to enter into his second term at Douglas school. Little "Joe" was escorted to the city by his mother, Mrs. Walker.

Y., was set up there in 1881. It was the gift of W. H. Vanderbilt to the city. The massive granite pillar was originally created in Egypt about 1600 B. C. by Thotmes III, and is, therefore, at the present time some 3,500 years old. The characters upon the sides of the obelisk are the so-called hieroglyphics—the picture-writing in which the Egyptians recorded their thoughts and their annals. Ecuador a Fertile Country Ecuador is rich in agricultural lands, but in very few cases are they worked to their full capacity; in fact, much of the most fertile land is not under cultivation at all. As is the case in other South American countries, the land is held in such large tracts that proper supervision and cultivation is not practicable. The Mandolin. The mandolin is of Italian origin, though it is impossible to give the time or place of its first use. From Italy the instrument was gradually introduced into France and Spain, from which countries it made its way to the rest of Europe, reaching this country with the coming of the Spaniards at the beginning of the sixteenth century. Not Sufficient Data Schoolteacher"—Now, if your mother gave you a large apple and a small one, and told you to divide with your brother, which apple would you give him?"

Its institutions have furnished the world with seven bishops, and it was the birthplace of five more. Scientific Grazing. It has been demonstrated that overgrazed stock ranges on the national forests can be brought back to use unimproved. This is the fastest than if they are left unguarded. URGE R. GARNER FLIGHTS THRONGS AT OLIVET CHURCH Madame Willie M. Sloan Triumphs in Song—Messrs. Houston, Taylor and Hann Vociferously Applauded. LARGE CHURCH PACKED. Singers Heard to Great Advantage—Sing Selections from the Masters—Song to Be Remembered by Music Lover. By Cary B. Lewis The George R. Garner Jr. concert given in the Olivet Baptist church on Monday evening last was the most brilliant and most artistic affair given here in years. The assisting artists were Mme. Willie M. Sloan, our favorite soprano and prima donna of Chicago, Messrs. Wyatt J. Housen, virtuoso violinist; Thomas Theodore Taylor, concert pianist, and W. A. Hann, operatic basso. Mr. George R. Garner Jr., our leading singer, and the previously named artists were in excellent condition for their respective tasks. Mme. Wille M. Sloan, nature's goddess of soul expression, sang the nirs from the operas, "Tosca" and "Love and Music," superbly, and her other numbers were highly received. Madame Sloan's beautiful coloratura voice is one that is rarely if ever heard in such a variety of selections and her singing is most excellent in that she is engaged to sing at all of our prominent musical affairs as is also Mr. Garner. These two artists made a perfect picture when they sang divinatory songs, including "Aida. After the rendition of this monologue, difficult number, the applause was vociferous and was graciously accepted by these two really great artists. Mr. Taylor, one of our foremost pianists, contributed the "Moment Musical," by Moszkowski, and played in true mu George R. Garner, Jr. sicilian style. His position at the piano is all that can be desired from a musical people. Mr. Garner came onto the platform amid a great ovation, acknowledging same, and taking his position, he sang the greatest of tenor arias, "Celeste Alda," with that style and manner that he alone is the possessor, and after the rendition of this number he was applauded to the echo. It is a great voice with which this, tenor is electrifying his audiences all over the country. Though being the youngest artist on the American stage today, he is one of the greatest and whenever and wherever he is announced to sing it always means a full house, for this great Wagnerian tenor has traveled abroad. He is so affable and his youthful manner is irresistible. All of his traveling and honors bestowed upon him only serve to make him the more modest and unassuming George Garner. When he sang "Bonnie Sweet Bessie," several people in the vast audience were moved to tears, so perfectly and beautifully it was sung. Mr. Wyatt Houston, the coming violinist, played excellently the De Beriot "Concerto." His harmonious are good, unusually good, and his bowing admirable. He plays his violin as though it were a part of himself, so carefully does he hold it. Mr. Houston goes to Atlanta, Georgia, next week, to the Moorehouse college, to assist Professor Kemper Herrell with his classes in violin. Mr. Hann, the bass, sang the "Infelice" from the opera "Ernani." His ponderous voice was heard to good advantage in this number, although we have heard him to better advantage in some of his other numbers. The society leaders were all out and the debutantes were chaperoned by matrons of high social standing. This was indeed quite a social affair as well as musical, for Mr. Garner (Beau Brummel) is a social lion well liked by all. This gala affair will long be remembered by Chicagoans as the most brilliant opening of our musical season in many years. The ushers were Octavia Thomas, Ella Dewberry, Augustave Kelly, Mary Lucy Banks, Elizabeth Thomas and Benson Dewberry. A Billion. A billion is one thousand millions—1,000,000,000.

After a whale has been corneared harpooned and is slowly giving out from exhaustion the nimble expert of the whaling crew must prove his mattle. The skilled Jap, after jumping into the animal's back and cutting two gashes in the head, one on each side through which a rope must 'be run, and tied, cannot always perform his work in one trial. Often the animal makes a deep dive. But the Little Jap must hold fast to his quarry and dive also, trusting to the fates that his own air supply in his lungs will last as long as that of the whale's. The Jap is safer from being drowned than from being crushed by the infuriated animal's salve. If the little Jap lets go it usually leaves his death so he hangs on to the divided quarry. Frequently these whalemen live lives from drowning, but the members of their crew look upon this misfortune with something of a fatalistic regard. But the main business in hand is the capture of the whale. As the fight progresses and the maddened, frightened mammal grows weaker and finally, is dying, the boat crews row closer to the body and pray for the ease of his departing spirit. Members of the crew will call out the words, "Joraku! Joraku! Joraku!" and on the third day after the mammal has been hauled ashore a service is held and prayers offered for the animal's future contentment of spirit. A soon as the animal has been towed the shore line he is cut up. The Japans large excavations and penetrating inside the animal's body as though entering a mine shaft or gallery, and eventually their exit, all covered with blood. It is a grusome sight, but is looked upon purely as a matter of course among the Jap whalemen. Distractions of War Among the distractions of war it's plain that there's got to be a bit of brushing up in the knowledge of geography and history on the part of the parent if he would maintain his high seat of omniscience in the sight of his inquiring offspring. "Papa, what are the Balkans?" inquired a little chap who had been poring over his papers. "High hills, my son, high hills." "They're mountains, aren't they?" "Why—ah—yes. I believe they are," answered papa, who has a somewhat vague notion of that distant rampart. "The paper says Austria is going to take them," pursued the persistent Willie. "What are they going to do with them?" Here papa has to cast about in his mind for a moment. "Oh, well," he equivocates, "I guess that's just figurative language. I don't suppose they'll really try to move them, you know." "But, papa, the paper says—" "Tut! tut! Never mind what it says—and say, don't you think it's about time you were going to bed?" Battle of Lake Champlain One hundred years ago the Americans defended the British in the battle of Lake Champlain, the last big naval engagement war of 1812. In the scale of military importance to the outcome of the war, this defense and capture of the British in duodon by Commodore Macdonough more than offset the British raid on Washington. With Macdonough's success command of the lake passed to the Americans, and the invasion of New York state by Sir George Prevost's army was necessarily abandoned. That was the most formidable army the British brought into the field in the whole course of the war. General Macomb with a mixed force of regulars and Vermont militia had held the British in check on land while Commodore Macdonough was defeating their fleet on the lake. Prevost dared not continue the campaign after his flank was exposed to the American fleet, and quietly returned to Canada. The result of the battle of Lake Champlain was to expedite the program of the peace negotiations at Ghent. Story of St. Paul's London There is an anecdote concerning St. Paul's worth recording now that the cathedral's repairing is under consideration. Sir Christopher Wren tells it in The Parentalia: "In the beginning of the new works of St. Paul's an incident was taken notice of by some people as a memorable omen. When the surveyor in person had set out upon the place the dimensions of the great dome, and fixed upon the center, the common laborer was ordered to bring a flat stone from the heaps of rubbish (such as should first come to hand) to be laid for a fork and direction to the masons; the other which was immediately brought and laid down for this pose, happened to be a piece of gravestone, with nothing remaining of the inscription but this single word in large capitals—Resurgam."—London Chronicle. A Late Book Mrs. Hoyt, who became the possessor of a fortune by the death of an aunt, did not like to admit her ignorance of any subject. One afternoon she had a call from a prominent society woman, and the conversation turned upon books. "Have you read Shakespeare's works?" asked the caller. "Oh, yes, indeed," replied Mrs. Hoyt, "all of them—that is," she added hastily, "unless he has written something very likely." National Monthly.

OF AFRO-AMERICAN (Continued from Page 1.) section. the third is carried on a grocery store with a stock car, used to $3,000. Citizens Always Progress. Riverside county has always been fortunate in having a progressive class of Afro-American people reside in her locality. As many as thirty years ago a small company of race-roving citizens was formed who realized the prosperous future in store for California and induced some of the people to a fund to be used for the purpose of transporting workmen from the southern states. One of the present residents of Riverside who was persuaded by this company in its incipiency to take up residence in the county, was Augustus Simpson, from Atlanta, Ga. When he came to Riverside he had but 40 cents and was soon given work as general manager on a large rack where about forty others, mostly Mexicans, were employed. Being a carpenter by trade, he moved to the family of large buildings that were just then being erected, and assisted in the construction for a number of years of some of the big structures that are the pride of Riverside. He was soon in a position to purchase a house in the business portion of the city. Six years later Simpson bought a ranch containing six acres for the sum of $1,100 on which he subsequently erected a nine-room house. The city property was then rented and Simpson brought him with the ranch there he carried which netted him about $75 per month. He afterwards bought his present spacious residence but two doors from the present mayor of Riverside. Simpson City Garbage Contractor. Seventeen years ago, having given up ranching his bid as contractor for hauling the city's garbage was almost unanimously voted upon by the city council. So high has been the estimation of the community in his behalf that he has been reappointed by this body year after year. David Stokes, a successful rancher, is also a good example of the capability of these progressive Californiaans. Stokes came to Riveride from Atlanta, Ga., and was a quarter of a year ago and employed on a ranch for a number of years' has secured valuable holdings on Walnut street, and subsequently purchased a ranch which has proven one of the most successful in Riverside, and yielded him annually a fine income. Much of the success of the Afro-American people of Riverside is no doubt due to the encouragement which they have received from such men as former Mayor Samuel C. Evans, who at the expiration of his term of service showed appreciation for the assistance that the employees of the city had given during his administration by giving a banquet in their honor at the famous Glenwood Mission inn. At this banquet were members of the city's white and black street sweepers, daughters of city buildings, and the Afro-American contractor for removing the city's garbage, all of whom were received by a committee consisting of Mrs. S. C. Evans, the wife of the mayor; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Miller, proprietors of the Glenwood Mission inn, and Mrs. Stephens, one of the inn's accomplished entertainers. Co-operation Secret The attitude of the white people of Riverside toward their Afro-American neighbors has ever been that of friendliness and helpfulness. Especially can this be said of ex-Mayor Evans, the noble son of a grand old father, whose family has often gone out of its way to assist the Afro-American residents of Riverside in their work of social betterment. Much that is noteworthy can be said also of the people of San Bernardino, a neighboring county of Riverside. The total Afro-American population of this little place is upwards of 300, a large number of whom are employed in the San Bernardino Santa Ana Railroad Company, where their services are regarded as intelligent and trustworthy. The majority of the San Bernardinos own the homes in which they live, and a few of them are doing business for themselves. TWIN CITIES By P. F. Hale.

Walt Mason, In the Story of the Prehistoric Citizen, Sets Forth the Case With a Good Deal of Truth. The other day an Emporia citizen whose whiskers have been whitened by the snows of many whiters was urged to dress himself in a circus suit and play golf. A number of the town's patriarchs are indulging in the game this season and they naturally hold to the old theory "the more the merrier." But the prehistoric citizen refused to fall into the snare of the fowler, writes Walt Mason in the Kansas City Star. "I realize, he said, that 'I am merely a venerable rub, and I am not going to pretend to be anything else. The vine and the fig tree are good enough for course you will say that a man's just the best man you will argue that golf makes an old man feel young, but it doesn't. It merely brings his age to the surface and makes him look like something left over from the paleozoic age. An old man skated under his fig tree reading Baxter's 'Sainte' Rest and getting his house in order for the great man is an edifying and improving spectacle, and he is gravitating around in the sun trying to create the impression that he's a three-year-old is an offense to the eyes. "How we like to pretend in the matter of age! The women have been joked a great deal about their reluctance to acknowledge their years, but the men are just as bad, if not worse. An innocent bystander or a solitary horseman might suppose that there is something disgraceful about advanced age, but I own up to them so greatly. I try to show them the view of such things, but I always feel resentful when anybody asks me my age. People can spring all sorts of leading personal questions and I don't mind them. I answer them freely. I acknowledge that I have stolen chickens and watermelons without the least embarrassment, but I am me how old I am. I feel like hitting him, but I have tried to analyze myself and discover some explanation, but in vain. "When the government announced that it was going to establish a postal savings bank in Emporia I said to my self: 'Now, here's a good business. I have always been afraid of banks conducted by people I meet on the street every day. A man can't feel much confidence in citizens he knows so well. But the government bank will be convinced by strangers, and I always did have confidence in them. I always salt down my rose nobles and pieces of eight in the government bank." "When that institution was opened for business I was the first one at the receiving teller's window. I had quite a package of counterfeit money with me, and supposed there wouldn't be any formality other than handing me a massbook. But the paying teller catechism and began making and jotting down the answers. I had to tell where and why I was born, and my grandmother's maiden name and other statistics; I had to convince the questioner that I had never served a term in the penitentiary and that none of my blood relatives had died insane. There were all sorts of important questions to be answered, but they merely amused me until the teller asked me how old I was. That filled me with virtuous indignation. "It's none of the government's business." I said, "how old I am. I'm old enough to deposit my own money, and that ought to be enough." "You can't deposit your wooden money in this bank," said the teller, "unless you give your correct age and your wife's correct age, and the corpse man servant and your maid servant, and of the stranger within your gates." Women and Perfume For many a day the well-bred woman has scorned the perfume bottle. Perhaps it is the high price of fine perfumes, due to the long continued troubles in Bulgaria, the home of attar of roses, that has at last made perfumes seem desirable as an evidence of luxury. A distinctive and personal perfume is as essential a part of the well-dressed woman today as are her made-to-order stays. She either chooses her favorite odor and has it carried out in her sachet, her bath crystals, powders, perfumes and soaps, or she hies herself to a perfume specialist and puts herself in that gifted and costly individual's hands to be fitted out with a subtle scent perfectly attuned to her type of personality. Knew Too Much "They say that it pays to be an all-around linguist," said a man who had just put his feet on American soil after a lively and trifle too interesting European experience; "but I'm not so sure about that. When I was a youth I acquired a pretty fair smattering of four languages, and when they were in Germany in Germany, instead of sticking to good old English, I foolishly began blasting a mixture of German, French and Italian, and it took a half dozen influential Americans to keep them from doing things to me as a spy."

Love of Outdoor Life Has Been Planted Deep in the Breasts of Men and Women. Whether it is an evidence of our barbary instincts or not, the fact remains that the love of outdoor life lies deep in the breast of every man, woman and child. Camping is the popular vacation pastime. Young and old enjoy it. It is no longer necessary to go out into the woods and sleep in a "teen-to" or open shed, in a lot of wry hoggies, for in these days, at any sporting goods depot, one can find an outfit, from mattress to tent, which will give him, in camp, almost the comforts of home, says a writer in Leslie's Weekly. A couch and a shelter are both desirable wherever one may be, not only from the standpoint of comfort, but of health. The demand for camping places is being met everywhere—at the seashore. Presumably the seashore for campfire was first stimulated by the feasible summer meetings, a awe of which still remains as centers of religious exaltation, in the groves, "God's first temples." So great has the demand for camp resorts become that states like Wisconsin and Michigan, which are filled with lakes where bass, pickerel, pike and muskellunge abound, offer camp sites at a nominal rental. Individuals or families can have a tract in the forest reservation of Wisconsin, for the erection of tents or temporary structure a yearly fee of $2 per person, or $5 for a private boat or club may lease five acres or more for a period of from one to twenty years with privilege of renewals, at annual rental of from $10 to $50. To those who love the life outdoors nothing commends itself from the standpoint of health more than a few weeks' outing along the seashore or in the woods. Where a family cannot leave home for a week or a,pleasant plenic in the woods, a few miles from home, will make the week's end a joy to be looked for with increasing pleasure. At the atmosphere of camp life that brings out the best things in our nature. A few days in the sunshine, with an occasional shower thrown in, will do all of us good. American Medal of Honor Americans of average information know about the Victoria cross, the Iron cross, the Cross of the Legion of Honor. These are rewards of heredity which would mark a man above his fellows even in this foreign land. But how many Americans know what a medal of honor is? How many Americans know that the modest American soldiers who wear the medal of honor wear a decoration that is among the rarest and most difficult to win among military honors? The Cross of the Legion of Honor, established by Napoleon in 1802, and while founded to signalize deeds of special daring in war, was after given free reinforcement during the forty thousand German soldiers were decorated with the Iron cross in the seven months of the Franco-Prussian war, while in the more than half century since the creation of our honor roll only 3,088 have been granted, including Civil war grants, and of these nearly nine hundred were given under a mistaken reading of the law. The holder of the medal of honor must have distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity in this life, beyond the call of duty. This standard, which bars out action, however brave in the course of duty, and includes only acts of daring which a man might refuse or avoid without rebuke, is said to be unequaled. Advertising in Belgium Poster advertising on boardings in England are often bad enough, and the boards stuck up in fields by our railway lines are an abomination. But the apotheosis of the blatant advertisement is surely to be found in Belgium. Practically the end of every house within view of the line at stations between, say, Antwerp and Namur, and even on as far as Luxemburg, is plastered over with lettering in the vilest colors. Personally, I would never touch the thing advertised in this abominable way, but one can imagine one's self going into a cafe and the subconscious memory sending to the lips the name of some insistent Schiedam or liquer. Belgium is certainly the most industrial country in Europe and the most advertising. One has the feeling that the entire nation is run as a commercial concern. Terse Essay on Treaties A treaty is a form of disagreement between two countries reduced to language which enables each of them to crawl out of it. It belongs in the same family as the insurance policy, except that no one can understand an insurance policy, whereas, a treaty reads as though it were perfectly plain, until something happens that makes one of the parties to it wish to get out of it. Treaties are used for various purposes; to promote typewriting agencies, lawyers, diplomats and to furnish material for editorial writers to convey the impression that they know something of what they are writing about. The principal use of treaties, however, is to bring on wars—Life. Local Color. Successful Author — Yes; I have been been wishing for an opportunity to visit that section of the country for a number of years. Sympathetic Friend — And why, might I ask?

Great as Must Be Acknowledged Are His Powers of Deception They Fall In the Presence of the Mother of the Blain. War set on a high place near the city named Earth, where all who passed along the highway called Life could see him as they went on their journeys. Among those who took their eyes from the ground was King. When he saw War he stopped. "Who are you that sits beside the highway of Life?" asked King. War answered: "I am Arm, and Dominion, and Pride, I am the maker and unmaker of dynasties. I set up and pull down the rulers of Earth, the great city in which you dwell. By my wealth and strength are apportioned, dishonor is redeemed, right is made plain, and justice is done." So King went his way, thinking, "War is good." So there came Young Man, and he too asked who War was. War said: "I am Adventure and Daring. Boldness and Hardihood. I bestow renown and distinction on men. Those who follow me grow brave of spirit and hard of body. They learn the happiness that comes from ardent toll, the joy that is born of struggle. The people of Earth look with greatest favor on those who enroll themselves in my record book and reward them with the first consideration." Young Man whistled as he followed the highway called Life, and cried aloud, "War is noble!" Next Old Man, weak of sight and hard of hearing, peered at War and said: "Who are you, up there?" "I am Memory and the Thoughts of Today. I it was who filled your heart with friends and clothed your mind with the good memorials of a glorious past. I took from your arm, but in its place I gave you something far better, the service of a devoted friend. By me you were made poor in pocket, to beg your bread as you walked the highway called Life, but in exchange I gave you the great days of your manhood to comfort and sustain you." Old Man's face was lighted by his thoughts of the brave days when he knew War, and as he set one foot before the other he chuckled, and struck his thigh with his hand, and mumbled in his beard: "I mind now that War is the great thigh." But then there came on the highway called Life Woman, who had borne sons that War had destroyed, and daughters who had weped upon her skirts for their husbands that War had torn from them; Woman, who had dried the ears of orphans War had made and stained the blood of wounds that War had given; Woman, who had mourned War's dead, and estained nightly lights. And Woman saw War and asked him nothing, but fed shrieking away from him on the highway called Life; and as Woman fled from him War was silent, for he had no words to speak—New York Times. The Old Sad Story When a plausible, albeit shabby, stranger approached the thrifty housewife and offered to install an electric bell for almost nothing she felt that it was her duty to give him the job. He looked as if he needed it. Preparations for the work were hardly under way when the "electrician approached his employer with an anecdote." "I've been out of work for so long," he explained, "that I'll have to ask you for an advance to buy some of the material." He needed 35 cents, he said, but she had no change and gave him half a dollar. He hastened away for the material, and he never came back. The thrifty housewife told her husband about it when he came home, adding, "I don't see how I lost anything. He left a pair of batteries here, or I shouldn't have trusted him with the money." Her husband went out to take a look at the batteries. They were both "burned out"—Louisville Times. Many Uses of Blotting Paper Blotting paper is many other uses besides the absorbent the absorbent. If grease is spilled on a rug or carpet cover the spot with a piece of blotting paper and place a warm iron, not hot, over the spot. Grease on the wall may be removed by covering with blotting paper and pressing with a warm iron. Fine lace and collars may be quickly dried by being placed between two sheets of blotting paper and covering a light. If you are short on rubber rings, blotting paper rings will serve just as rubber. There are many more uses for blotting paper which will suggest themselves to the alert housewife. Most Economical Woman. Most men are not blessed with such a treasure of a wife as IsLangley, remarks Harper's Magazine. "My wife is the most economical woman in the world," confided Langley one night, with profound pride. "What do you know, with profound even a use for the smell of my motor car." "Great heavens! Do you mean it?" exclaimed his friend. "Surest thing you know. She hangs cheesecloth over the gasoline exhaust and packs away her furs in it to keep the moths out during the summer." To Take Up Something Else. "Is that a fact that the patrolman on this beat is going to quit the force, Katie." "Yes, ma'am." "What's the trouble?" "No trouble, ma'am, only he's been taking up things around here for so long and now he's going to take up something else." A Refuge In Nokoa "What makes you sit up there and toot the automobile horn?" asked the passing friend. "Charlie tells me to," replied young Marianne, "so that I won't hear the things he wants while he is fixing the machine." Worse Yet. Uncasy Passenger—I say, steward, doesn't the ship tip frightfully?

"Taking the past two years our course has been impeded and our increase in membership and in resources fallen below the average. These afflictions we can confidently believe are but for the moment.

ORTH CAROLINA'S HOME MADE LAW. in the South concerning the Negro. Nothing seems imposs and the astonishing part of it all is, for the most uncalled to persecutions there is no rhyme or reason, as to whether it is fair before the law or not, never dawns on them. In Raleigh, N. C., J. S. Johnson sued the Wilson County Board of Education for refusing to allow his four children to attend the white public school, the children having but one-seventh Negro blood in their veins and the state constitution legalizes the marriage of a white man to a woman with not more than one-eighth Negro blood. On the face of these facts it would seem to the casual observer there but one thing for the Supreme court to do and that was to Johnson in his contention. There was the law in black and made by the high officials of the state covering this very of the contracting parties is permitted to have one eighth life fluid. Mrs. Johnson has but one-seventh. Let's ease worthies did. The Supreme court reversed the lower courts and held that neither these children or with a mixture of Negro blood have any right to attend is for white children, and while the constitution did legalize one-eight blood marriage, it did not intend to abolish any of the distinctions based on color and social relations as distinguished from purely political equality with which the constitution was dealing. If that isn't dealing out justice with a vengeance we should like to know what is. That the legislature exceeded its authority is unquestioned, but they are the big its with a capital "T" so what is to be done about it? So we repeat there is nothing impossible for our friends below the Mason and Dixon line to do and one might just as well conserve their breath and refrain from asking why. DEPARTMENT STORE EMPLOYES FOR BIG DEPARTMENT STORES IN TOWN and many sons and daughters who come back of the day, and by the same token would say if their identity was found out. They are as busy but the fact that most of the stores are girls whose complexion and hair is swarthy materially. It is a shame and a disgrace in order to make a livelihood, to live there is no other alternative. We pour thousands dollars into the coffers of the storekeepers. IN OUR BIG DEPARTMENT STORES IN THE LOOK can be found many sons and daughters who come back "home" at the close of the day, and by the same token would come back home to stay if their identity was found out. They are not all as fair as lillies but the fact that most of the stores are "manned" by Jewish girls whose complexion and hair is swarthy helps the situation out materially. It is a shame and a disgrace that we must be forced in order to make a livelihood, to live this life each day, but there is no other alternative. We pour thousands of our hard earned dollars into the coffers of the storekeepers and yet we are denied recognition or a chance to earn some of it back except we apply for some menial position like running an elevator or janitor, and in many places we are even denied this class of employment. That our men and women are superior in every way to the average wage earner found in these stores is without question, but worth doesn't count when prejudice creeps in, so we must fight fire with fire, and those that are able to "get by" peace be with them and it is our duty not to hinder them in any way. Last Monday was the Jewish New Year and all of that faith were given a holiday—without pay—by the store managers. This, of course, made a number of our young ladies who were Jewish pro tem take two days "There are tricks to all trades," said one of them laughingly, and we had it to do to allay suspicion." So even with the serious of itself comes something in the lighter vein.

A showing even among the weaker sex it will prove that we are far from being a shiftless set, and these races too, only represent the common laboring class. We have as is other races, a class of leaches who prove a menace to any community in which they happen to live, and it is only too often at the better element is judged by the impression they make. they constitute the greatest evil we have to contend with. Big the Chicago is beginning to get tainted by their presence, and parties and privileges that old settlers once enjoyed are either denied them or given grudgingly. There is nothing to do about save be patient and abide the time when education will see things.

JUST WHAT BLUNDERS CAN BE MADE BY OUR LEARNED MEN IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION is shown by the following incident that occurred in Georgia. A man by the name of Will Russell was held at police headquarters as a witness in a murder case, it so happened that another man with the same name was awaiting trial on a charge of burglary. The court officials made a mistake and brought into court the witness Russell. A number of witnesses identified him as the man who had committed the act charged and as the one on whose person the stolen property had been found. He was found guilty and received a sentence of two years. It was not until he was being taken to the jail that the man was able to explain that he had not been committed on a burglary charge and not been guilty of such a crime, but that he had been detained as a witness. He had been tried and sentenced, however, and the question arose among the lawyers as to the method of getting him out. Some were of the opinion that he would have to serve his term, a view, of course that would not have been expressed if the victim of the blunder had been a white person. A way would have been devised immediately to get him out. As to the situation of the real burglar complications also arise. The witnesses who positively identified the first man hardly feel like going into court and acknowledging their mistake, even if they were allowed to do so. The case is interesting from every point of view but even an austere court should come down from their high perch and release the man who has committed no offense. Their duty is to administer justice and not to persecute innocent people. No one is infallible, mistakes are bound to occur, but when the error is found out there is but one thing to do, rectify it as soon as possible, and that is what should be done in this case. PUBLIC MARKETS. AGO'S FIRST MUNICIPAL MARKET last Thursday and from all appearance those living in the neighborhood of Maureen it is located. Its object as might be CHICAGO'S FIRST MUNICIPAL MARKET was opened to the public last Thursday and from all appearances it will prove a boon to those living in the neighborhood of Maxwell and Union streets where it is located. Its object as might be inferred, is to supply fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, etc., at reasonable prices. The high cost of living has made it almost impossible for people of moderate means to eak out a living, and there is no real good reason for the boosting of prices, the war in the old countries has not affected us materially and the farmers claim that it has been years since they had such a bountiful crop as this season has produced. The government has been making investigations along this line with the object of bringing to justice unscrupulous monopolies who are taking advantage of the present situation to fairly rob the people. Everything has gone skyward except wages and the man that earns a dollar finds that it will go but half as far in feeding his family as it did in former years. This condition if allowed to continue can breed nothing but anarchism in free America as it has done in other countries, in every crisis it is always the poor who suffer. It is so easy to sit in an office on Wall Street and raise the price of sugar one cent a pound, add fifty cents a barrel to flour, etc., but who are the sufferers—not the rich—the poor man and woman who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. Our system isn't all wrong, but there are some parts of it that need changing and changing quickly. Every little movement even along the municipal market line is a step in the right direction, let these splendid institutions be dotted all over Chicago. THE RICHMOND, VA., LEADER thinks their little burg should have separate waiting rooms at the railroad station for the races because "the local tough and the colored excursionist who goes out for a lark or comes to Richmond to show what manner of 'bad man' he is are obnoxious to white and colored alike. They are loud mouthed and troublesome and the indelicacies from which the better colored people shrink appeal to them." In the language of the street that is some reason. They admit the rolyism is only displayed by the lower element of both races. Then why the separation echo answers why? PRESIDENT WILSON'S MEXICAN POLICY is the one gladsome thing the Democrats are gloating over now that the rest of the world is at war. Upon this foundation will rest his second term campaign. It has been many years since they have had an opportunity to show what they were made of and they propose to make the most of it. STATE STREET BUSINESS MEN have been discussing the advisability of putting more electric lights along the street between Twenty-ninth and Thirty-ninth. This would be a wonderful improvement and add much to the popularity of the street. Besides, as one merchant said, "It is dark along the 'Stroll' even in the daytime." FAR BE IT FROM US TO INTIMATE THAT JACK JOHNSON had rabbit blood in him because he insisted he was an American citizen when he went to our embassy in London for passports through Russia, and had not taken out French naturalization papers. What would Jack look like as a dead French general? FROM CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, came word to England that 3,000 men had already enrolled to fight her cause and were only awaiting orders to go to the front. Another evidence that the black man is willing to share the white man's burden, showing their childlike belief in the brotherhood of man. KING GEORGE RECENTLY ATTACHED HIS SIGNATURE to the home rule bill, thus making it a law. While His Highness's intentions doubtless were of the best, his signature would have been hailed with more joy if it had been attached some years ago, say before the war even. WHY DOESN'T ENGLAND PRESS INTO SERVICE her militant suffragettes. If they were as active against Germany as they have been to destroy London and other portions of England the war would come to a speedy close. This is simply a suggestion offered gratuitously. IT IS ABOUT TIME NOW to begin making friends with the janitor, slipping him a piece of home-made pie or giving him the price for the movies. It is going to be a long hard winter and when you call for steam you want to be sure you are speaking to a friend. WE CERTAINLY ARE IMPORTANT PEOPLE when the War Department finds it necessary in advertising for recruits to print across the face of their advertisement "Colored Men." WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE A FARMER when wheat that sold two months ago for sixty cents a bushel now commands one dollar, and other farm produce in proportion? THE GERMANS SEEM TO HAVE NO DIFFICULTY IN HOLDING LIMBURGER, the Russians were on the scent but fortunately the wind blew the other way. BLOWING YOUR OWN HORN is one of the chief requisites of successful politicians, for he that tooteth not his own horn the same shall not be tooted.

We are very fortunate in having this valuable exhibit of tuberculosis given at the Raymond school on account of its convenient location and other facilities. For a long time we have been trying to get this exhibit located on the South Side in this neighborhood, where it is convenient for all the people. We will be open during the afternoons at 3:30 o'clock for children and parents who can conveniently attend. The children from Mossel, Keith and Raymond schools will have certain days and will furnish the programs. The meetings in the evenings will be arranged principally for the enlightenment and education of the adults. There will be good speakers and music. The principal officers and teachers of tuberculosis from the various sections of the city will be on hand to deliver lectures and to answer and appertain to tuberculosis in all forms. What You Will Learn You will learn at this exhibit the very nature of tuberculosis, what it is and how to keep from taking or catching it. You will learn how to prevent "catching consumption" yourself, and also how to prevent other people from taking consumption. You will learn how to take care of yourself and how to care for those who are near and dear to you who are so unfortunate as to be affected by this terrible disease of tuberculosis. You will also learn how to live and treat consumption in your home; the best methods of treating consumption in the home and in the sanitarium, etc. You will learn the value of good housing in the prevention of tuberculosis; the value of pure air, good food, good hygiene, good airiness in the prevention and the treatment of berculosis. The explainers, in charge of Miss Stubbs, will show you all of the exhibits and will answer every question satisfactorily. The Champion Lie. The Champion Lie.

Where space will be temporarily covered, jumped, addressed envelopes is enclosed, berforce Williams, care of The Chicago pear in this issue you may see the correct way of making examination of the chest, and a diagnosis of tuberculosis; you will also note the wrong way—the superficial way—the slip-sided manner often used in making chest examinations and diagnoses of consumption. This exhibit will impress upon you the value of having early examinations made of your chest and a correct diagnosis made. The many useful features of th' tuberculosis dispensaries will be shown, where all those who can have examinations made by private physicians may go to dispensaries and have repeated examinations with the use of tuberculosis as a diagnostic factor. By carefully observing the cuts you will note that one of them teaches you that tuberculosis is a germ disease; that it is curable and preventable; and other valuable lessons you may learn from this exhibit. The Bulletin. By reference to the bulletin in this issue of the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute you will note that over 211,697 persons viewed this exhibit in thirty-six weeks within this city. You will also note the names and high character of the persons taking part in the program. I wish to also urge upon you, the good people in this community, to attend this exhibit as regularly as possible, as it is well worth. Do not delay attending this exhibit. September 30 will be the last day. The knowledge gained at this exhibit will assist you in saving some person from the affliction of tuberculosis and in curbing him. It is through education that we learn how to live, manage and prevent any disease, and this is doubly true of tuberculosis. The following subjects will be discussed and exhibited on the various afternoons and evenings: "How Disease Spreads." "Parents, Children and Tuberculosis." "What Is Sanitarium Treatment?" "What Is the Value of Home Treatment?"

Authentic figures cannot be given of the lives lost in the atrocious attacks made by Great Britain, France Germany, Italy, Russia and Spain in their colonial expeditions, especially in Africa. The civilized Christian invasions were certainly deadly and cost the natives many lives—in many cases amounting to wholesale massacres. And take other wars, such as the British in China; the Sepoy and others in India; Russia in Asia; the French-Chinese, the Dutch in East India, the British expeditions up the Nile and into other parts of Africa, where the natives were "mown down like grass," the Italian-Abyssinian wars and many, many others too numerous to mention—take these and many others into the Russo-Japanese war), the total easily reaches the appalling figure of 14,000,000 lives for the single 100 years of 1800 to 1900—an average of 1,166 lives lost in war every month for 100 years. Man is indeed the KING of murderous animals. War is evidently a permanent characteristic of man. Otherwise it stands to reason that he would not continue in so costly an affair. I mean costly in money, not in life, for lives are cheaper in man's eyes than money. The Napoleonic wars, 1796-1815. $15,000,000,000 The French-American war, 1812-1814. 300,000,000 The U.

Now she has died more than six months ago and although I have constantly demanded the money due on the policy, the endowment department has continued to put off paying the same to me, stating that there were other heirs claiming the same, although no other name appears on the policy but mine. What should I do in regard to that question? Answer: You should employ an attorney to bring suit on the policy for the amount of money due you on the same and a judgment for you will clear up all other claims by other persons. Defender's Legal Helps: I bought some household goods on the installation plan and missing one or two payments the company sent its wagon and then to take the same. I demanded them to show me their authority to take my goods and they refused to take them. I was putting my hands and trying to take the goods by force. I began trying to protect my goods, then a fight took place and by superior force they injured me and took the goods. What can I do for the injury to my person? Answer: The facts being as you state them, you have a cause of action for trespass against all of the parties entering your house in such wrongful manner and also against the them they were working and whom they claimed to be taking the goods for. Defender's Legal Helps:—I am the sister of a father who met his death while at work in a mine and I have been told that I was entitled to some compensation under the laws of this state, as the death occurred within this state. Will you kindly tell me if I am entitled to any money being his assets? Answer: You do not state whether there are any other persons surviving the deceased, such as a widow, child, parents, grandparents or grandchildren, but if there is no widow, child or children, or no other lineal heirs, then as a collateral heir, if the deceased had been contributing to your support previous to his death and you were dependent upon such contribution, then with the other collateral heirs the present amount due based upon the amount of the contributions received by you from the deceased.
