KING ALBERT PRAISES THEM IN PERSON Thrilling Story of Dauntless Courage —Belgians Holding Position Were Forced Back—General Joffre Or ordered, Town Retaken and Turcos Did It. ( (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Paris, Nov. 13.—A thrilling story of a wild night charge by Turcos, France's African soldiers, is told by French officers arriving here today. The fearless Africans captured Ramskappelle at the point of the bayonet in one of the most dramatic encounters of the war. So great was their bravery that King Albert, commander of the Belgian army, went in person to Furnes, near Dunkirk, to congratulate them. This was an important success for the allies, because it prevented the Germans from advancing upon Furnes. The story of the capture of Ramskappelle was told today for the first time. "Belgians had been holding the position," said these officers, "but they were attacked by overwhelming numbers and forced to fall back. General Joffre ordered that Ramskappelle be retaken at all costs. Town is Destroyed. "French infantry moved forward, attacking the town upon two sides under SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS TO MEET AT BIRMINGHAM Sunday School Workers from All Sections to Be Present at Next Meeting. ```markdown ``` (Special to 'Chicago Defender.) Nashville., Tenn., Nov. 13.—Among the important items transacted at the National Baptist Publishing Board meeting yesterday was the awarding of the 1915 session of the Sunday School Congress to Birmingham, Ala., to be held June 9 to 14. Close and spirited was the contest between Memphis, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, New York City and Birmingham. There were several meetings of the board, with numerous conferences, together with telegraphic communications with some of the cities, before the officials could decide the winner. The result of Birmingham's victory at the conclusion of the meeting was announced by Rev. Henry A. Boyd, the congress secretary, who stated that Birmingham had won because she started in time, having allowed her invitation, which was extended last year, to go over for this year and be repeated for 1915. While the meeting was in session at Beaumont, Texas, last June the Ministers' Conference of Birmingham telegraphed an invitation and then backed it up by a similar one after the adjournment of the Texas meeting. The meeting in 1915 will be the tenth annual session of this gathering of Sunday school workers and is expected to draw largely from all sections of the United States. The Beaumont meeting drew from twenty-eight states and had an attendance of about 2,500. It is understood that the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Birmingham, Rev. J. W. Goodgame, president, and Rev. J. D. Kent, secretary, with the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Association, of which Birmingham is a member, Rev. S. M. Hall, moderator, and the Alabama State Convention, Rev. J. H. Eason, president, have appointed a committee already to begin work. This committee, having met and organized, is as follows: J. W. Goodgame, S. a murderous cannonade which the Germans directed against them. The Germans finally gave way, but upon being reinforced pressed forward again and retook the town. By this time nothing remained of Ramskappelle but the name and piles of wreckage and dead soldiers. "Again the Germans were driven back, but again they returned and recaptured the place at the point of the bayonet. Twice again the position was taken and lost. Darkness found the Germans occupying the site of Ramskappelle. "The quaint C. Flemish houses had been battered . . . heaps of stone and mortar by the furious bombardment. Soldiers fought among the piles of debris, using them for defensive works. Use Guns as Clubs. "After darkness had fallen, the Turcos were aroused and told to fall in. The command was given to charge bayonets. With wild yells, the Africans sprange forward. The Germans poured in a hot fire and the German batteries were soon in action, sending a storm of bursting shells against the blacks, but they pressed on. In the darkness the battle raged around the mounds of ruined dwellings. Battle shouts rose above the roll of musketeer. Guns were used as war clubs. The flash of powder gleamed upon the cold steel of the bayonets. The Germans were suddenly struck with panic and rapidly fell back, evidently over-estimating the numbers opposing them. As a result of the loss of Ramskappelle they have to fall back across the Yser. The Turcos lost several hundred men, but the German losses were much heavier as they were pursued by the Africans who shot them down without mercy." S. J. M. BROCK DIES IN QUAKER CITY Real Estate Buyer for John Wanamaker and Philadelphia's Pioneer Financier Passes Away After Short Illness. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 13.—S. J. M. Brock, a prominent financier and real estate broker, died at his residence in this city after a short illness.

Johnson.) (Special to Chicago Defender.) New York City, Nov. 13—Hon. J. Frank Wheaton, lawyer and noted orator, has denounced the Democratic party and claimed allegiance to the Republicans. During the recent election he campaigned the state of New York in behalf of the newly-elected Republican Governor, Whitman. He is now resting from his labor and awaiting his reward circuit. Wonders never cease. Mme. Louise Hill, late of Rochester, N. Y., the noted hair culturist has opened recently a beautiful emporium at 2303 Seventh ave., New York city, while it is known that Seventh avenue is the most beautiful avenue in upper New York City and the madame's store being a credit to the avenue, you can readily imagine the beauty of her establishment.

Miss Wilkes has gone to Chicago to see her mother. New York claims the honor and distinction of having the first and only colored female dentist in the person of Dr. Gertrude E. Curtis, whose efforts has been crowned with success in her chosen profession. The Blank sisters, two Chicago girls who eight months ago started their stage career at the Monogram Theater, Chicago, have played in some of the largest and best theaters in the South and East with great success. They have played four weeks in New York and Brooklyn, and are now awaiting orders to go on the big time. Perrin and Crosby, two Chicago favorites, are headliners at the Lafayette Theater this week.

MAYME SMITH NOT GUILTY OF POISONING MR. J. H. BROWN A. H. Mrs. Mayme Smith, Whom Estelle Vanderberg Accused of Poisoning J. H. Brown. NO TRACES OF POISON WERE FOUND IN THE STOMACH OF BROWN AND THE PROSE-CUTION FELL THROUGH. UNDERTAKING CONCERN ESTABLISHED IN 1865 STILL IN LEAD Mrs. Mayme Smith, 5536 Prairie avenue, charged with administering poison to Mr. J. H. Brown, a roomer, who died in her house, Aug. 21st, was declared not guilty by a jury in Judge Sabath's court Monday morning. Although the case was not given the sensational publicity that is oftimes given cases of less importance, and this one concerned a human life, hundreds of friends of the accused woman both in Chicago and Kansas, were anxiously concerned until the verdict was known. Judge Is Indignant. Estelle Vanderberg, better known as Garbie Carson, was the main witness against Mrs. Smith, and it was evident that Judge Sabath only considered her testimony as the envious animous of a jealous woman, for in his charge to the jury, he voiced his indignation that such a ridiculous charge should be seriously considered against a woman of her good character and high standing in the community. The jury acted in accordance with his instructions and promptly brought in a verdict acquitting her. The friend in need is the friend in UNDERTAKIN CERN ESTA 1865 ST Business Founded by the Late Emanuel Jackson Forty-nine Years Ago Reorganized and Incorporated to Meet Increased Demand for Services. SON HEADS NEW COMPANY With Complete and Up-to-date Outfit Daniel Jackson and His Associates Are Prepared to Meet the Requirements of an Exacting Patronage. The undertaking establishment founded by the late Emanuel Jackson in 1865, nearly half a century ago, is still the leading concern in that line of business in Chicago and one of the race enterprises that the citizens point to with pride. During all the forty-nine years that the name Jackson has been displayed on signboard and window an ever-increasing patronage has deed, and in this case there were many of them. Her father, Mr. William White, came all the way from Topeka, Kan., accompanied by his own legal counsel, Attorney Larner, but Mrs. Smith, however, was already represented by Attorney Latter of this city. The Majesty of the Law. The case against Mrs. Smith simply went to pieces. No traces of poison were found in the stomach of the dead man after the most careful analysis. The prosecution could not contradict this fact. The vindication of Mrs. Smith is another evidence of power of the courts for good when cases are tried on their merits, according to the strict letter of the law. The Cause in Brief. Summed up in short, the cause of the trouble was like this. Mrs. Vanderberg once roomed with Mrs. Smith. Being found undesirable, she was asked to move, which she did, leaving her trunk behind as security for her unpaid account. These facts brought out during the trial, showed the real object of the complainant. ING CON-BLISHED IN ILL IN LEAD always found the best in service and equipment that has characterized the modern embalmer and funeral director. Started in Time of Need. Emanuel Jackson launched his business in Chicago at a time when it was sorely-needed. At that time race' enterprises were few and far between and a dependent people were subjected to the exorbitant prices and had to await the convenience of white undertakers when their loved ones were to be buried. The coming of Emanuel Jackson, who at once demonstrated his fitness for the work, put a stop to this. Through the simple plan of accepting, churches, lodges and clubs as sponsors he extended credit to deserving people. Whether for cash or on credit the service was always the best, and Jackson's became known as the "House of Quality," and the same standard is maintained today. Being a farsighted man, he took his sons into the business, with him, and in a short time Daniel Jackson became (Continued on page 7.) A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK Now is the time to begin planning for the Christmas trade. On account of the war America will not be able to import toys and novelties from Germany and France. Thus we must depend upon the American manufacturer for our Christmas gifts. The Afro-American business man should make his plans now to take advantage of this condition and he should not forget the Afro-American manufacturer. Dolls may be purchased in Nashville, Overton's Toilet Articles in Chicago. Just think of the thousands who can be made happy from these factories if our business men push their goods at this time. Then, don't forget those splendid books by Afro-American authors. They are so appropriate as gifts. INJUSTICE TO THE RACE BY AMERICAN DAILY PAPERS An Open Letter to the Editor of the Chicago Tribune by Hon. George W. Ellis, Based Upon the Stigma Placed Upon Race by Use of the Word "Negro." TERM INCITES HATRED. Attorney Writes Logical, Unimpassioned Protest Against the Undue Publicity Given to Real or Alleged Criminal Acts by Individuals Members of the Race. The Chicago Defender was not alone in its protest against the daily newspapers of Chicago for their unjust treatment of the Afro-American race in their publicity in the Eva Steinhaus robbery case. Hon. George W. Ellis, also rightfully indignant, sent the following letter to the editor of the Chicago Tribune: To the Honorable Editor of the Chicago Dally Tribune, the Tribune Building, Chicago, Ill. My Dear Mr. Editor: I noticed a few days ago an article in the Tribune in which is described a daring robbery upon a Mrs. Eva Steinhaus by one Ernst Gatewood. The supposed crime is set forth in such particularity as to arouse indignation, inflame the public mind and carry conviction to your many readers. A few days later you published another article in which the main story in all its essential and criminal facts is discredited, and in a large measure Gatewood is exonerated of the grave crime of robbery charged only a few days before. Insofar as your paper published the supposed crime as modified by later developments, harmonizes with the general high character and quality of your great publication, noted for its courage and justice, and I desire to commend you for your course in this regard. But to my mind there are two respects in which adequate separation to the Negro race has not yet been done. I mention them because this case is only one of many in which even greater injustice is done, not only to a Negro suspected of crime, but to the whole Negro race, the great majority of which, is like other PYTHIAN BUILDING TO COST $120,000 (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Louisville, Ky., Nov. 13.—The new Pythian building, which is being erected at a cost of $120,000, will be the most commodious of its kind in the country. The cornerstone hyling will be thanksgiving day. Pythians from all over the state will attend. A delegation from Chicago will attend the dedication early next year. It will be led by Major R. R. Jackson, a member of the Illinois legislature. DR.FOSTERADVOCATES INTERMARRIAGE; RACE PROBLEM SOLUTION University of Chicago Professor Says White Race Will Absorb Black Race In Course of Time. Fact, He Says, Bears. Out Theory Intermingling Not Symptom Of Mental Defect Believes More Cultured Blacks Will Mingle With the More Cultured Whites In The South Until One Race Absorbs The Other Dr. George Burnham Foster of the University of Chicago, who startled the community by advocating the intermarriage of the white and black races at a meeting of the N.

The noted Midway professor was addressing an audience, at Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, white. The audience was entirely of that race. Various Ideas of Man. He said in part: In the final summing up, after thousands of years, there will be no pure white race in America, nor will there be a black one. Man has been thought of in many ways throughout the ages. He has been considered an angel by some, an intellect by others, and nowadays they are coming to think of him as a toiler engaged in performing the work of the world.

"For this reason the idea, unpopular, to be sure, but still indicated by the facts, that the races in America are amalgamating is not unwelcome to many thinkers. Let me give you an example: A year ago at a public gathering I addressed an audience which was one-third unquestionably Negro, another third unquestionably white, and the rest in between. "That simply goes to s are now part way along in which I do not hesitate to accomplish in time. The is to be absorbed. "In fact, the thing will no pellant in a few hundred yea now," he said.

Surely, there every reason to believe that that condition will result." Prof. Foster declared that all the solutions to the Negro problem which have been offered thus far are inadequate. He scored especially the theory of geographical segregation. DOUGHERTY CRITIC ON WASHINGTON SUN. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C. Nov. 13—Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, who has made a national reputation in New York City and elsewhere as a writer of sporting, athletic and dramatic news, has taken service on the Washington Sun. Last week the Sun carried one of the best pages of matter, featuring these subjects, that the nation's capital has ever seen in any paper of the race. The folks who star upon the stage and on the field of athletics and activity have an immense following and the management of the Sun exhibited great wisdom in attaching so skillful and accomplished a writer and promoter as Mr. Dougherty to its staff. In addition to handling the news of the stage and sport, the erstwhile New Yorker will have charge of the advertising interests of the Sun generally, and will make himself useful all over the paper, as he knows the business from A to Z. Mr. Dougherty is a good "mixer," and has already won a host of friends in this neck o' the woods.

He said in part: "Following are a few of the sons and daughters of these states who are making good in Los Angeles: Miss Louise Benton, formerly of Missouri, is filling the position of clerk in the assessor's office, having passed the highest examination out of a number of 400 applicants. Two of our Afro-American school teachers, Miss Bessie Brewington and Miss Ella Kinnard, doing creditable work in the "public schools, were once residents of Kansas and of Afro-American business men of the Kansas. Jones, who arrived here some twenty years ago without a dollar, but now able to retire, his wealth being estimated at something over $100,000, was born and reared in Missouri." / First Afro-American State Club. Mr. Johnson then reminded his audience that the Kansas-Missouri Club, federated in the very beginning, was the first state club organized in this city among Afro-American people. "One year ago," he continued, "we stood before you, pleading for the organization of more state clubs, and we are proud to say that you have now twelve state societies and a perma- nial organized federation whose various members have power to do a great work for the uphill of the Afro-American race." A splendid response in behalf of the State Federation of Clubs was given by Eugene Walker, while the attitude of professional men toward the organization of state clubs was eloquently B. Erion Corent, a successful attorney, and D. Burton Corent, a successful minister of the ministry by the Rev. J. D.

Johnson; president; T. W. Patton; vice president; T. W. treasurer; Mrs. Laura Larsaub secretary; Mrs. Vola Hubbard; assistant secretary. Vernon Heads Missouri List. In the list of successful people of Missouri William T. Vernon, former register of the United States treasury, stands foremost. Mr. Vernon, born forty-three years ago in the state of Missouri, was trained for service in the public schools and in Lincoln University at Jefferson City, Mo. After six years of teaching in the corn state he was placed in charge of an institution, which was Western University, Quindare, Kansas. After ten years, the school growing in that time under his supervision from one small building, with an enrollment of ten pupils, to an institution comprising thirteen acres of land, five large buildings, a faculty of twenty teachers and a student body numbering 400. When Mr. Vernon was appointed by ex-President Roosevelt he was granted a leave of absence by the Western University in order that he might serve as register of the treasury. Lin-Manuel Wilson, City Mo. and Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, have conferred on Mr. Vernon the degrees of A. M. and LL. D. respectively. Potato King from Kansas.

Washington is president, the officers elected by the board, philips, pilphus, Albert Ellis, vice-president, love, secretary; S. L. Beaty, auditor; W. Williams, treasurer. The object of the organization is to better business conditions of the colored people. A. M. E. Church. The morning subject by Rev. H. W. Jameson was "The Objective in Christianity." The thought developed was that we have no permanency here—this is not our rest—and our loins must be kept girded. The evening subject was "Stewardship." The speaker said that there was no such thing as absolute ownership and no other property; we are our brother's keeper. Saturday the clerical rehearsal for the Christmas cannita. Salem Baptist Church A temperance program was given by the Sunday school on Sunday under the direction of Mrs. E. T. Dean, superintendent of the temperance department of the school. A solo enlistment of the boy "Boy" was sung by Miss Alice Baxter, a paper on "Doing Good" was read by Miss Virginia Smith and an instrumental solo was given by Miss Helen Johnson. In the morning the pastor preached on "The Way of Life" and at night on "Nachadnazzerz." Mrs. Baxter, the president, was in charge of the meeting of the B. Y. U. FUNERAL OF MR.

Mr. Groves was born a slave in Kentucky, but emigrated to Kansas in 1879 during the well-known exodus to that state. After some little time he secured work as farm laborer at 40 cents a day in Edward's town, and at a year, saving enough money to enable him the next year to rent nine acres of land, three of which he planted in white and sweet potatoes and in watermelons. So successful did Mr. Groves prove as a farmer that at the end of three years of labor he had bought eighty acres of land, which he has subsequently increased to 500 acres of the best land in the state. He has been called "the potato king" because of the great quantity of potatoes being produced on his farm in one year and shipped away, together with the rest of the crops from neighboring farmers. His wealth is estimated at something like $100,000. AUTHORS AND BOOKS Review of New Books, Pamphlets and Other Literary Efforts Submitted to The Chicago Defender. NEGRO CULTURE IN WEST AFRICA is the title of the new book recently written and published by George W. Ellis of Chicago, IL, who for a number of years was one of the American diplomatic representatives to the Republic of Siberia and who is now contributing editor of the Journal of Race Development at Clark University, Worcester, Mass., one of the leading literary and university magazines of the world. The writer of the book is a research organized authority upon African Negro race. As a member of learned scientific and Literary societies of America and Europe it is exceedingly fortunate for both the white and black races that this young scholar devoted himself while in the diplomatic service abroad in West Africa to the careful scientific and sociological study of the Negro in his aboriginal home. Having spent four years in the department of the University of Kansas, he completed two-year course in Gunton's Institute of Economics and Sociology, New York City, and after two years postgraduate work in philosophy and psychology in Howard University, Washington, D. C., the author was exceedingly well prepared to bring from his African studies a rare and rich fund of knowledge which lurks behind the important phases of this African study of the Negro race are embodied in the volume just issued on the press. It is undoubtedly a remarkable book and constitutes one of the most significant contributions of its kind ever made concerning the Negro in Africa. In fact, nothing similar to it was ever before published. It touches one of the high-water marks of the Negro in sociological scholarship and gives new insight into the important phases of this world in every section of our world. With its wealth of proverbs and folklore literature translated with care from the only Negro language known to exist in Africa, with a description of their outer life and a profound interpretation of their innest thoughts, emotions and inner feelings, the author has materially contributed to American Literature and made the scientific and literary world his debtor. He is a prominent sociologist of the University of Chicago and authority on Afrien, writes a splendid introduction for the author that in itself is a notable tribute to the Negro race. To appreciate what this book means to the Negro race and to our knowledge of the Negro in Africa one must study it carefully, master all of its novel and unique features and facts, never before brought to the attention of the reading world. A description of what this book contains is a useful guarantee that deals with social issues of the Negro race and is equally important to all those members of the white race who wish to know the truth and who appreciate the higher and finer phases of Negro art and culture. That the book is a revelation is disclosed by the numerous orders which are daily flooding in from all sections of the United States. Numerous orders have already come in from California, Tennessee, Missouri, Texas, Ohio, Kentucky, Arkansas, Virginia and Oklahoma. Besides subscriptions for the book, many persons have applied for the agency to assist in circulating this important volume among the reading white and black citizens of their respective communities. A gentleman from Illinois sent a draft for five copies, saying that he wanted one for the white Library of his city. Remember this, a very exquisite book, with illustrations of life and art, six pages of Negro written language in native script, with a map and splendid index. Such a book published, in London would sell for $4.80, or one pound sterling; but the desire of the author to get a copy in the hands of as many white and colored persons induced him to insist that the price be cut down to the modest sum of $2.16 by mail. Or the author exceeding 10 will be given a reduction of 25 cents on each volume. All orders above ten will be given a reduction of 50 cents. Terms to agents will be liberal and all information supplied upon application. All orders should be sent direct to the writer, George W. Ellis, Attorney at Law, 3000 South State street, Chicago, Illinois. RENT YOUR ROOMS. LAKE FOREST-ILL By Henrietta Holland Lake Forest, Ill., Nov. 13—Rev.

By Jesse Bridgeman. 1 Cause of Water Bubbling There is an erroneous impression that water bubbling violently is hotter than water at the boiling point. As a matter of fact, the ebullition is caused by the escaping steam, which means lost heat. All water (except in a high elevation) reaches the boiling point of 22 degrees Fahrenheit and however fast or slow the water may be boiling it remains at that temperature.

The most magnificent and perhaps the greatest reception ever tendered an African Methodist preacher was the one given in honor of Dr. R. E. Wilson, Nov. 2d, at the palatial and spacious field house in Ogden Park, 64th street, Ruechen avenue. The occasion was a really charming affair in the picturesque surroundings of the place where the tiers of flower-decked tables and the beautiful architecture give such a chance to see and be seen. It was the mark ability and managerial skill of the "Helping Hand Club" of which Mrs. Laura Spencer is president, that planned the affair so well and secured for the enjoyment of the people. It was an appropriate and commodious place for a social function of this kind. ST. LUKE M. E. CHURCH. St. Luke continues to attract with its able preaching and the hospitality of the membership.

C., Nov. 13. —The Afro-Americanes of the State of Mississippi less than two years ago boasted proudly of the fact that they had thirteen banks in operation, which number represented more than were operated in any other state. This boast did not live long, for twelve of the banks have gone down under the test of the first obstacle like the morning glory which blooms forth in brilliance under the morning dews, and when the noonday sun flashes its rays upon the fragrant petals of tender tenure tades and dies away like a quenilled ghost. With the closing of the Penny Savings Bank of Columbus and the Southern Bank of Jackson in the last fortnight of October of two years ago, it opened his eyes and found only e Afro-American bank left as a key to his headquarters. Banks were in operation in nearly every city of importance in every secon of the state.

WILLIAM WILKINS MUSICAL GENIUS AND HIS PUPILS Afro-American Pianist and Composer of Los Angeles Astonishes Musical World by His Compositions and Marvelous Playing—Appears Before Noted People. SUCCESSFUL AS TEACHER Populi' Talent Surprises Musicians at Recent Recital—Remarkable Story of Poor Young Man Who Has No Money to Publish His Works. --- Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 13—William T. Wilkins, a young Afro-American pianist and composer of this city, bids fair to gain national if not international prominence through his marvelous interpretation of classical music and his compositions, which are pronounced by all who hear them as worthy of publication. As yet none of Mr. Wilkins' compositions have been published, because his circumstances will not afford the cost of publication. Professor Brahm van den Berg of the Von Stein Academy says that the latest piece composed by this young writer would, if published, bring him enough money to pay for all the lessons Mr. Wilkins desires to take in technique and harmony, which the young performer feels that he needs. Practices Seven Hours Daily. Young Wilkins was born in Little Rock, Ark., twenty-seven years ago. Seven years ago, while engaged as a gardener for Mrs. Henry Wilson Hart-Regan at Ninth and Burlington streets, the young man was given his first opportunity to play on a costly piano before a critical audience. Since then he has become the owner of a $1,500 instrument, upon which he practices from three to seven hours daily. Composition Please. Recently one of Mr. Wilkins juvenile classes gave a recital at the Odd Fellows' hall. These pupils, their ages ranging from 7 to 14 years, had received instruction from Mr. Wilkins not more than two years, some of whom, however, had studied but six months. Among the audience, composed principally of music lovers, were pianists and instructors of years of experience, who at the close of the period expressed their appreciation and joy in their work accomplished by these small pupils. Yielding to the repeated demands for one of his original compositions, Mr. Wilkins crowned this remarkable exhibition of young Afro-American musical talent with one of the most selections that won much aplause. Marvelous Performer. Mr. Wilkins has been a resident of Los Angeles the greater portion of his life. His fitness for music having been discovered at the age of 3 years, he was given into the charge at the completion of his high school course of some of the best instructors of the country, among whom were Herr Von Schmidt and Brunn van den Berg, noted European concert pianist, both of whom have pronounced Mr. Wilkins' interpretation as marvelous. Through the influence of these instructors he has been permitted to play before many prominent people, among whom were Mrs. James Henderson and Mrs. Regan of the Friday Morning and Ruskin Art Clubs respectively, Mrs. McFarland of Crown Hill, Mrs. Joseph Murphy of South Carolina, Mrs. John Hare of Harbor Lichner, the private pianist to her royal highness the grand duchess of Austria, all of whom predict for him a great future. 10,000 DIRTY AIR DEATHS IN CHICAGO Approximately Each Year This Number Die from Certain Diseases Which Are Commonly Termed "Foul Air Diseases." (Press Service, Department of Health.) That a large share of the responsibility for these 10,000 preventable deaths is due to badly ventilated public convergences is made clear by this most important fact, namely: Less than 25 percent of the 9,500 cars operated in Chicago and carrying many thousands of passengers daily are equipped with ventilating devices that insure the occupants proper air supply in cold weather. While the ventilation of theaters and certain other public buildings is extremely important, it is not so important as the maintenance of proper air conditions in street cars, for the reason that the great majority of the citizens of Chicago must of necessity use these cars in traveling to and from their homes, while the attendance at theaters is a matter of choice. There are 3,234 surface cars in operation in Chicago; 990 of these are so equipped that, if properly operated, they will give satisfactory air conditions to the passengers. Of these, 125 are the "near-side" cars, which were absolutely unsatisfactory when introduced, but which as a result of pressure and suits by the health department, through the ventilating division, have been re-equipped. In addition 220 new cars, which are reasonably satisfactory, are to be placed in the service this winter. This leaves a trifle over 2,000 cars depending on deck and such that the air cannot be changed often enough without causing discomfort or even suffering to poorly clothed or delicate persons among the passengers. In the winter of 1913-1914 convictions were secured against the surface companies in 236 cases of violation of the temperature requirements, the fines and costs aggregating $7,729. Two cases were successfully prosecuted for violation of the ventilation ordinances, which were really test cases, and two cases were secure evidence of ventilation cases than of temperature cases, but if we had a small increase in our force we are sure that we could bring about a great improvement in the present situation. It is only fair, however, to say that the deck sash is being much more intelligently operated than formerly, and conditions generally have been improved. We force enough in the ventilation division to permit the occasional detail of a man to street car work. We should have at least five men to look after the ventilation, heating and cleanliness of street cars. We are asking for them in the budget for 1915. Also we are asking everybody to help us get what we need for their benefit. Good air has never done anyone harm, the same cannot be said about bad air, but they, then, be able when good air as a rule is easily obtainable? When a man realizes that good health is his most valuable asset in life it is then that he becomes a better citizen. He will take a more active interest in those things that have to do with bettering the comfort and health of the community in which he lives. And this means good citizenship. PROF. A. E. MALONE GOES TO QUINCY TO VOTE A distinguished visitor Friday and Saturday last was Professor A. E. Malone of St. Louis, Mo.

FORMER GOVERNOR ELECTED SENATOR FROM KENTUCKY By Hardin Tolbert Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 13.—Former Governor J. C. W. Beckham was the unanimous choice of the people for the senatorship. Former Governor Beckham was defeated for this lofty position some years ago by traitors of his own party. With persistent effort as a young man to succeed in life and to never stop to resort to anything that was below the great characteristic of the pure Anglo-Saxon tradition. While governor of Kentucky he signed every bill that was ever passed by the general assembly for the Kentucky Normal and Industrial institute for the race. He was the first chief executive that has ever spanned the taxpayers' money to protect the people from an angry mob who wanted to lynch an angry mobian for protecting his own home, and military troops were sent to protect this Negro. Governor Beckham was censured by his own people. We can say of him that he never cares for criticism, so he is right. Mr. Beckham was fought by the interests of millions of dollars, but with all that he succeeded in conquering those who opposed him because they could not put their "label" of wrong upon his high principle. While Governor, he appointed Mr. L. D. Smith as a trusted to represent his people. Mr. Beckham should be the history as the first man elected to the Kentucky directly by the voters. He would have gone six years ago had it been left to the people. Kentuckians should be proud of this young man, especially the Christians, and those who stand out for the integrity and high principle that make up a 'clean government.

All Leaders Agree that Some One Man Must Be Settled On In Order to Be Successful. While the politicians downtown are looking forward to the probable candidates eligible for the mayoralty chair, the wise alces on the South Side are talking about why the race should have an alderman of the Second ward. The signs of the times point to the fact that they are going to have one. Organization For One. The Second Ward Organization is for a race man. This has been declared by Madden, Hardin, Ettleton, Norris and Brady. There need never to be heard again, "It's too early." Race men have hushed that hugh and Must Get Together. At every meeting, the slogan of all the talks should be "get together." The story of the man who had seven sons should be told. He gave each one a stick and each put them together. The pack did not break and then he demonstrated the strength in unity; therefore in unity there is strength. Let unity be the byword of the voters and race leaders of the Second ward. John W. Archer Mayor Some months ago the magazines and newspapers carried columns after columns on John W. Archer, an Afro-American, elected mayor of Battlesco, England. If he could be elected mayor of a borough of 60,000 people, all Englishmen, then why can't we elect an alderman having a mixed population, the majority being Afro-American.

DIVIDE ALL GOOD FORTUNE Eskimo Tribe Seems Never to Have Learned the Meaning of Selfishness. Probably no more clamish—and unselfish—people exist than the natives of the arctic coast of Siberia, the lowest type of semi-savage Eskimos, a writer in the Youth's Companion remarks. They are ever thinking of one another's welfare, and if one comes into possession of anything of the ice, he never thinks of keeping it for her; but calls the other members of the ice to share with him. If a whale is taken, or a polar bear, caribou, or walrus all the igos, Even during the hard winter, when it is a shortage of food, if a seal is brought in by some fortunate hunter, the meat and blubber are equally distributed. Four men from East Cape, the Siberian side of Behring strait, were taken aboard the whale ship Narwhal to make up the boat crews for whaling in the Arctic. All through the summer season they remained aboard the vessel, doing their share of the perilous and wearisome work. When the vessel returned to East Cape, on its way south, the captain made a bottle of four, sugar, hard bread, calco, tobacco, cartridges, needles and thread, tea, matches—everything dear to the Eskimo heart. It was their wages, and the Eskimo were proud of their wealth. The wartr hide canoes came alongside and the four men were taken aboard their riches. At the wartr's edge article was delivered to waiting hands, and when the man who had worked all summer for these necessities and luxuries started for their igloos they carried all they kept for themselves in their hands. They were almost as poor as they were when they started on the cruise, but the village was temporarily happy—and so were they. Few Others Know of it.

WHEN WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DIE: When the lion eats grass like an ox, And the fishworm swallows the whale; When terrapins knit woolen son, And the hare is outrun by the snail. When serpents walk upright like men, And the doodle-bugs travel like frogs; When grasshoppers feed on the hen, And feathers are found on the hog. When Thomas cats swim in the air, And elephants roost on trees; When insects in summer are rare, And snuff never makes people sneeze. When fish creeen over dry land, And mules on bicycles ride; When foxes hay eggs in the sand, And women in dress take no pride. When Dutchmen no longer drink beer, And girls get to preaching on time; When bilygats butt from the rear, And treason is no longer a crime. When humming birds bray like an ass, And limburger smells like cologne; When plowshares are made of glass, And the hearts of Indianians are stone. When ideas grow in durmies' heads, And wool on the hydraulic ram; Then the Republican party will be dead, And the country won't be worth a d——n! ST. ANNE'S SEGREGATES St. Anne's Episcopal Church, one of the wealthiest churches of that denomination in Brooklyn, has at last placed the color line on its colored worshippers. The hundreds of colored members who, until two Sundays ago, were allowed free access to the large and beautiful edifice, are cut off from further privilege by that body. They have been grouped together and thrust inside in the dark corners of the spacious church. This unchristian act on the part of the church officials is not altogether uncommon and should have been expected. It is a well-known fact of long duration that the white churches, especially those to which the aristocracy belong, will not tolerate the presence of colored folk in their midst, and it seems ridiculous that colored people humiliate themselves by being told point-blank that they are not worshippers. This incident should serve as a further warning to colored people to attend their own churches, where they will receive a greater amount of benefits, instead of scorn and derision—New York News.

"To which p refer?" # Even with the cry of hard times patrons of the Grand seem to gather the admission fee each week to go to their favorite playhouse. It has become a habit and they feel like they have lost something if they do not go at least once a week. Many take in both the first and last half of the week. The bill opened with the Plying Layettes, supposed to be a maracas that was far from being sensational and failed to elicit more than a few hands here and there. In this line there has been so much clever work done that one must be exceptionally good to be appreciated. Jines and Hill were far from up to the Grand standard, their work being a little coarse for a refined audience. "Footing the Bills," a little playlet of everyday life, was admirably presented by Kusel and Company, and brought forth round after round of applause. The audience and singing skit very neatly. The audience didn't get wise for some time, but when they did they made up for lost time. The bill closed with Blake's Comedy Circus. Dogs, donkeys, ponies and monkeys vied with each other for land. The show as n a w nale, the show was very good. TOM BROWN'S BIG ACT. Tom Brown and Billy Johnson are now collaborating and their genius will be seen hereafter at the new Grand Theater.

ON AND OFF THE STROLL. By Columbus Bragg. "I thank you very much," the Stroffers, for the benefit. One of the 'stroll's most popular Elite manicure artists has returned from a visit and vacation through Canada. She receives information for the Defender for the scribe at 3126 State street, Brown and White barber shop. My business and also the shop's name is the Defender, that most beautiful artist with pretty, teasing brown skin, Miss Irene Shadd, simply a dimple face doll. The singers, Miss Sallie Lee Johnstone and Miss Carol Lillipson, has some charming personalities. They infuse into their fashionable audience with the apparent intention of allowing a glimmer of the musical effulgence which pervades the stroll, having accomplished their propagandist end in a two and hour of gyrations and evolutions. They amazed you with such sweet voices and beautiful smiles to which Miss Sallie has bunches to spare. She is worth while. Yes. She is worth it. Yes. She possessing dreams, sat as cute as any mouse, ready at all times to extend that courteous treatment and super decrumpt that gives the Elite Cafe patrons that at home classical treatment. You can resist these big brown enchanting eyes? No. Miss Trinkle Davis, the most dashing soubrette of today, puts on a new costume nightly. She accentuated this fact with a costume before which masculine descriptive powers stand aghast and speeckle. One of the creations which to be thoroughly appreciated must first be seen, and only entertains at the popular Richieh Cafe, Mr. Geo. C. Hall, of course, uses the ivory there. He is very clever. Madame M. Craig Halsey, the Queen of Ahjah, whose ten years' progress as an emotional ingenuine continues. She is an uncrewed queen of Ethiopia in the hands of her work. Miss Mary Ray, one of the most spirited strong voice singers, held her own with assistance of Mr. Chas. Gilliam, the king of trap drummers, at the Elmwood Cafe. At Louis Bros.' Cafe, the prince of tenors, in Jen. C. J. Liverpool. He has one of those sweet and mellow voices that one would never tire of, so dramatic in his tonations are perfect. Well, simply a Carusio in Cabaret. He is assisted by distinguished artists who should sing or teach singing in studio, not cabaret. A very artistic, poetic quality. Her cadences sound as pleasant as an organ; looks like one of those sweet June debunements. Madame D. Hicks. Some class to her. Mabel. Miss Hazel Moxley, the most beautiful star of Cabaret, should tour as an accompanist. Where do they find those pretty dreams? The woods and the Mist Ruth Belmont, the enchantress, has returned to the Chateau Gardens, the show place of the city, with that sweet voice and those big charming brown eyes, and a pretty round face like a baby, so pleasing. Some orchestra here. Mineral Springs Cafe has changed hands and for the better, as the present owner is a wee bit more popular as he has a charming personality. Mr Wm. Simmons retained all the same cabaret as he or no one else could im prove it. Miss Lucille Hegimin, the gorgeous beach, should be a studio mode of performance. Miss Ehlah Cole, the humble child, is some shouting girl, but the prince of entertainers is Mr. Wm. Abels, with the king of piano players at the box, Mr. Dan Parrish. Yes, Mabel, the scenery for the Ahlah is ready. If you cannot wait, daughter, come to the rehearsals and that will suffice you. What, you do like opera music. You will hear that classical opening close in that great piano. Oh, you will. Mr. Chas. Young, the great baritone, is at Russell Cafe, pleasing them nightly. Mr. Emerson at the box.

A program well diversified had been arranged for the audience, including a recital by the author, reader, Mrs. Brown, interspersed with musical numbers by Mr. Chas. Young the famed baritone, and Mr. Schiller Emerson, the piano virtuoso, and at intervals pictures were thrown on the canvas of the late Aida Overton-Walker in various poses; also of Mrs. Brown and of notable happenings. After the conclusion of the program, Mrs. Brown parted, thanking Mrs. Brown for such an excellent afternoon of pleasure, and each asking when and where the next Sunday afternoon recital is to be TO CLUB EDITORS CLUB EDITORS.

A big program has been arranged for LATEST FASHIONS LATEST FASHIONS The Correct Mode in Milady's Dresses, Hats, etc. Advice from the Dressmaker for Women, Misses and Children. BY EVA L. SIMPSON The tight skirts are almost hidden by the long redigate. The basque, half a blower and half a coat, made of taffeta, some have elbow sleeves, is quite pretty. The sleeves though are getting longer, almost covering the knuckles. A coat dress, in the redingote costume is developed in mustard colored garbeline and black satin, the latter serving for the scant underskirt, hip drapery and stole-like end. The short skirt seems to prevail and the full skirt will grow fuller—it can grow longer, as shown. Concerning this same full skirt problem, I might mention here that if you have had your winter suit up with a comparatively narrow skirt, there is no reason to be unduly alarmed. We can't deny the fact that the skirts will grow full each month from now, but fashion slim progresses in leaps and bounds. Separate skirts are of woolen plains and cotton, colored, black, navy blue or green coats. Emerald green velvet with blurry black checks is being used for the new plaited skirts for sports wear. Fancy velvets will see exceptional favor and broadcloth more supply and soft than ever before is in the forefront of modish fabrics. Many of the one-piece dresses have united backs which fall freely away from without any suggestion of a waist line. A stunning tailored suit for the woman who likes her suit plain and yet wishes to have its severity broken, has plaits in a heated coat and in the skirt, giving individuality to the costume without suggesting too great elaboration. Short suit in malachite green suede cloth having an overskirt bordered with fox fur, the cuffs and collar being trimmed also with the fur. The frock coat is new and it is simplicity itself. Black long coats are in favor and will be found very serviceable. Evening Modes. Classical lines will prevail in all evening gowns. Black chantilly lace is used to trim white frocks. One of the dainty evening frocks lately exhibited a rouffed tulle skirt over which was worn a satin basque, with the front extended into long cords that crossed in the back and knotted in a sash in the front. These fine plaited garments made into fine plaiting to be used as the edge to skirts, tunics, ruffles, sleeves and sashes. These fine plaited ruches give a desirable finish to any frock. Some of the new evening gowns, despite the sleeveless vogue, have skirts with ruffled sleeves and puffed affairs of tulle or any light and gauze-like fabric. They are decidedly dainty. Beautiful afternoon frocks are made of taffeta, crepe or poplin, trimmed with Roman striped or plaid ribbon. Very pretty in the afternoon frock of velvet and satin. The sleeves are of taffeta tulle narrow and definiably long, having the bodice embroidered in gold threads. Capes of chantilly, ornamented with embroidery, are formed into loose sacks, dark blue, silver and deep red appearing in the stitchery. Sometimes the chantilly is mounted over a cape of black tulle for the young Miss. They are just little sacks with kimono sleeves, the long fronts turned under and caught into the belt; this makes a pretty little addition to a dress. If fullness and charm are synonymous, then a sapphire velvet evening coat is the epitome of all that feminine whim could desire. Blue fox lends beauty to the garment, though rather extreme lengths have been used to iniminate a formal V neck line, but it gives rather novel touch to the whole effect, which being made in one-piece style, is very simple to make. For the benefit of those who desire evening waistts preferable to the gown, a very pretty design was on exhibit. ```markdown ``` Evening Modes. the cessation. Two of Chicago's noted artists will appear, Miss Lucretia Knox, soprano; Mr. Willett Tyler, violist; Mr. Charles Young, bartonite Holmes; and the rest in the vest Tuesday, Nov. 17. Theater, Reserved seats, 25 cents. The waist for the evening must be large; great latitude is allowed in the sleeves. They may be of the angle form caught up on the shoulder, or a mere shoulder strap, or they may descend below the elbow. Large bows are placed at the back of the waist and at the side are formed by the curious drapery, of which there are many examples. The dresses seem to be cloven in front sufficient to show the feet, a little underskirt showing beneath. Many of the bodices are crossed in front, some draped on the shoulders, and for high evening gowns there is generally a basque, which is deep and tunic-like. Ideas for the Young Folk. The hats bats are frequently of the mushroom shape and are very soft, with velvet crown. The Mary Pickford bonnet is indeer charming on the little Miss. Very nice frocks can be made of crepon; it is a very lovely material for the little girl's dress. For the little one's dress up dress, such they usually call them, the little sheer sleeve very much like the elders of tulle, shirred and puffed is very dainty. Accessories. One of the novelties of the hour is the Gladstoneian collar. The high stock which the great politician wore and which now goes by his name, comes straight up to the chin and turns out to the back. He wows it self and stareted, but the women of today have them only sufficiently stiff to keep up at the neck. Sashes and belts are a great feature and nothing can be too bright to introduce in this way. The most gaudy ploids, the most vivid Bulgarian patterns, and the most daring combinations, be twisted around the waist (a big, natural waist always), and continued over the hips, with fashionable and smart effect. Wide silk braid is much used in the French models. Sometimes it forms pockets, sometimes it is used to band a long tunic, sometimes it is used as a scarf, sometimes of the faux ric of the frock it adorns. Needless to say, the braid is loose and placed low at the hips. Next week, advices on what to wear for young women who work in offices. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE TO SEE PRES. OF U. S.

LINCOLNS DIE HARD Blueitt and Winston Stars—Team Work a Factor with Visitors—Pollard Leads Lincoln to Victory Against Howard. By Frank A. Young. (Former Manager of the Lincolns.) The Dunbar Athletic Club, led by Napoleon Bluett, won the championship game against the Lincoln eleven at Thirty-third street and Wentworth avenue last Sunday before a large crowd by 6 to 10. That is all there is to it. "Nap" came over here and beat us South Siders, and went back home grinning. Don't blame him a bit, but he certainly had a tough time; and so did his team behind him; and the only thing I am sorry about is he belongs over north instead of among us. Bluett was far the individual star of the game. His kicks got away pretty and the ends of his team McGee and Brown, were down on the runner the minute he received the ball. Next to Bluett were Allen and Wilson of the Lincolns, the latter showing up for several times Bluett pouled through the Lincoln line with his whistle straight on if not for "Chuck" Wilson. Dixon went over for the lone touch-down. Some of the Lincolns claim that he was down and the younger Bluett failed to blow the whistle allowing Dixon to regain his feet and go over for the lone score. If such was the case we rally to the support of Virgil and will be true sports even in defeat and say we see it. Furthermore, that the Lincolns sill all the whistle did blow; that any other player would have done as Dixon son did. The fair sex was much in evidence and it would take this whole page to say all that I noted. The North Siders brought along their bunch of faithful rooters and ladies too. Some of the Jelly Twenty were with them. The game on the whole was good, and no one could complain of the brand they put up for the afternoon's entertainment. The Dumbars played hard and were determined to win, and they were well rewarded for their work. Wilson failed at the supreme moment. When twice near the gonel line he failed to call Allen, the best ground gainer, to carry the ball. Again Langston shoulders a little blame, for he should have called Lock's bad naked was hampering him. The Lincolns want another chance at the Dumbars and want to play the Sunday after Thanksgiving, but it is all up to the North Side team, as the preference is with the victors. To "Nap" Bluett belongs the credit, and his great individual playing brought victory and staved off defeat. Once the Lincolns were within two yards of scoring in the first quarter, and the game leader wilt along putting on the on the calling to do their best, and they did, for that is as far as the Lincolns got. To him victory and by him victory was deserved. Lincoln, 12; Howard, 0. Much to the surprise of the football fans the Howard University eleven went down to defeat before the Lincoln eleven. The latter team was considered such a poor chance to win that it was played earlier this year than last. Its place on Thanksgiving Day was given to Hampton. But they sent for Leslie M. Pollard, former star at North Division high school here on the North Side. Pollard won fame also at Dartmouth, and when he went to Linehout he took some of Dartmouth's players outplayed Howard and won. All of Pollard's friends are glad of his success. UNDERTAKER IN BUSINESS SINCE 1865 (Continued from page 1.) one of the most proficient men in the business. He made emulating a specialty. In this branch of the work he became an expert. The establishment became a school, and other young men anxious to learn the profession were properly taught the work and successfully passed the examining boards and started into business for themselves. Death of Emanuel Jackson. Two years ago death claimed Mr. Emanuel Jackson, and the responsibilities of the business fell upon the shoulders of his son, Mr. Daniel M. Jackson. Having spent the greater part of his life in the business, he was fully qualified to become his father's successor. Since assuming charge of the business Mr. Jackson has made many improvements. He has kept right up to the times in the modern world, and has made improvements made in this exacting profession he has been the first to adopt them. Public Is Pleaseed. The appreciation of the public for these improvements has been evidenced in greater demand for the services of the "House of Quality," and recently the business was reorganized and incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois. The corporate name is The Emanuel Jackson Understaking Company, Inc., with Mr Daniel M. Jackson as president. The other officers of the company are Abner A. Hodges, secretary; George T Kersey, treasurer; Ahmed A. Reyner superintendent.

C., Nov. 13—A new armory is badly needed by the First Separate Battalion of the District National Guard, now housed in the basement of the True Reformers' Hall. Other pressing needs are a first-class hotel for colored patrons uptown and an adequate hall for good-sized public meetings and athletic entertainments likely by a reception banquet or dance. Here are big chances for enterprising business men to make money by filling long-felt wants. Mr. Charles L. Porter, former coach for the Yale football team, has become an athletic instructor for the boys at Howard University. Asbury M. E.

Dr. Burke is pastor of the Immmanuel Baptist Church and is one of Washington's most polished orators and best posted theologians. The United States Supreme Court is to take a recess from the 18th to the 30th of November. It is the popular expectation that the nation's highest tribunal will soon hand down its decision on the cases from Oklahoma, testing the constitutionality of the "grandfather clause" of the suffrage law of that state. The result in this case will be far-reaching, will be far-reaching in that upon it hangs the status of the Negro as a general voter in all the states that have adopted the "grandfather clause" restricting the franchise. Frequent attention at the hands of the United States District Attorney—or some exciting cause—so confused the editor of the Washington Bee that last Saturday that eminent "Journal of civilization" same out with the date line bearing the legend, "December 7, 1914." The good people of the District must be leading Brer Chase a merry dash to be crowding him a whole month ahead of his normal speed. Over one hundred insultant houses, occupied for the most part by poor race people, have been torn down since the beginning of the keen agitation for better housing conditions in the District and for the abolition of alleys as places of residence.

Astonishing Simplification A famous college principal used to give out notices at the morning devotional exercises, which always closed with a prayer. One morning he forgot a certain notice until he had begun his last prayer. Praying for the professors and students of the college, the notice from the French professor came to mind, and the assembled students were astonished to hear the O'Connor Professor Karge whose French class will be held this morning at nine o'clock instead of at half-past nine, as usual." Personal ambition is a quite honorable motive. The desire for approval and praise is something which nobody should despise. But a man should not stake everything upon those; otherwise, when his works fail to obtain recognition he is disappointed. He should have in himself as his primary motive something which makes him confident of those things, something which prevents him all those little things which impede public work, and make it difficult for men to work with others—Sir Edward Grey. The subaltern was being put through an examination in geography, wherein he proved himself astonishingly ignorant. At last, after a failure on his part of unusual fragrance, the examiner scowled at him and thundered: "Idiot, you want to defend your country, and you don't know where it is!"

Widespread Eavesdropping Has Become a Common Thing—Are Also Being Used to Save Time In Commercial Houses. Wherever you go nowadays there's very likely to be a dictograph listening to every word you say and transmitting the sound of your voice to somebody whose ears perhaps you don't care at all about having your conversation reach. In New York city it is said 50 dictographs are purchased every week by someone haswives, but the number of those devices used for such doubtful domestic purposes is small compared with those which are being installed for commercial purposes in offices, stores and factories. The use of the dictograph to secure evidence in a number of sensational criminal cases has made the public quite familiar with the methods by which it makes widespread caves-dropping possible. The transmitter is a little disk so small that only a careful search will reveal it when put in a box or somewhere else on the wall. This transmitter is so sensitive that it will carry every sound uttered in a room for long distances. Carefully concealed wires connect it with the receiving end of the apparatus, which is often disguised 'as a paper weight or hidden away in a desk. The work of paying tellers in many large banks is greatly simplified by the use of the dictograph. When a depositor calls to withdraw a large amount the teller may not be sure to cover the withdrawal, but he does not like to offend by staling his doubts. So the teller presses a button to signal a bookkeeper to put his ear to the other end of the dictograph system, whose transmitter is concealed in the teller's counter. Then the teller picks up the check and remarks casually but distinctly enough for the dictograph to carry his words: "Two thousand dollars. How will you have it, Mr. Blank?" This question is the signal for the bookkeeper to turn to the ledger and see if Mr. Blank's account is good for $2,000. If it is he quickly signals the teller by ringing a buzzer once; if it is not, he gives two rings. In large safety deposit concerns much tiresome running back and forth is saved by having the clerks in the vaults and the bookkeepers in the offices work with dictograph receivers fastened to their ears and transmitters on their chests. The wires connecting them run down their trousers legs and trail along the floor. Claim agents of many corporations find the dictograph of service in detecting fraudulent claims for damages. Each claimant his witnesses are made to wait for a few minutes in a very completely "dictographed" room. If the claim is fraudulent they are likely to take this opportunity to alter their stories and agree on the testimony they are going to give. But their every whisper is heard taken down by a stoneographer in an inner office, and the best laid plans are often thus exposed by the conspirators themselves. Brave Old Admiral Hawke. The British cruiser Hawke, blown up in the North Sea by a German submarine, was named after one of England's most daring admirals, Baron Edward Hawke. Not only was he a sturdy fighter, but without a superior as a seaman. His great achievement was the destruction of the French fleet of De Constans, near Quiberon, on November 21, 1755. Hawke sighted the enemy off the Morbihan. He action, decided clearing his deck, and decided to attack and to run for the Quiberon anchorage. As a storm was rising and the coast one of the most dangerous in the world, he assumed that the English admiral would not follow him, but Hawke pressed on sail and opened fire as darkness was falling. He had 21 ships to the enemy's 20. The engagement was won after dark, Hawke losing only two ships. The old admiral would turn in his grave If he knew that a vessel named after him had a blockade, for it was a kind of duty in the war. Peer in his work, keeping the sea in winter gales and never losing a ship.—New York Sun. Sweden and Norway One hundred years ago, following the brief war between the two countries comprising the Scandinavian peninsula, the Norwegian parliament voted to accept the supremacy of Sweden, and elected the king of Sweden for king of Norway. The Scandinavian union, as finally agreed on, made the person of the king and his management of the foreign affairs of the only common bond. Each country obtained its own constitution, parliament, and cabinet. This agreement continued a century nearly a hundred years, until 1905, when the desire of the Norwegian people for complete independence led to a peaceful dissolution of the union and the election of Prince Charles of Denmark to the Norwegian throne under the title of King Hankan VII. Follies of Youth The follies of youth have a basis in sound reason, just as much as the embarrassing questions sometimes put by young children. Their most antisocial acts indicate the defects of our youth, but then the torrent sweeps the man against himself. A person must be peck him to scream, and you need not be surprised if the scream is sometimes a theory. It is better to be a fool than to be dead.

Crime Not Racial, but Individual. The first point is that you placed your first story of the supposed Gatewood crime upon the first story of the police department with all of its harrowing and infantile details. The substantial retraction of this story, disclosed to be essentially false after investigation, is placed upon an inner page, with far less conspicuous headlines, and where perhaps many readers who saw the first story did not see the second one, and which from later developments more nearly harmonizes with the first story. The very insignificant point, but in view of the one to which I now solicit your most careful consideration the two together have much to do with interracial peace and concord and constitute important factors in those psychic forces which retard or advance our social progress and general welfare. I have in mind your use of the police force, the effect of which is to make the supposed crime of Gatewood racial rather than individual. While your use of this word is mild, it has the same effect, because in many other papers the word Negro is employed in the most violent forms so often to inflame the popular mind against all Negroes, stigmatizing them with the odium which attaches to crime, and under similar circumstances, that the mere use of the term now M. B. Hon. George W. Ellis. in headlines is sufficient to rekindle the popular prejudice already in fashion, and which is laying up future penalties to be paid in blood and tears by both the white and black races. So that your first article not only reenforced that sentiment which seeks to do injustice to all Negro people, but impairs the white people to unfit the white social mind to the problems growing out of the presence of the Negro in the light of the facts as they really are, and impairs the white people more and more to do justice to worthy Negro citizens. It is, therefore, very doubtful if the injury of the first story would have been remedied by the publication of the second one on the first page, on account of the distorted and abnormal conditions matters as the result of even more damaging methods and appeals for the manufacture of race prejudice. The papers as a rule do not emphasize the criminal acts of Phone Drexel 9120 term? Caucasian, Jews, German English, for the purpose of algm matzing the whole group to which the supposed criminal may belong. For crime is individual and not racial. And why continue to do so with members of the Negro group? Better Class Forced to Defend Selves. The continuation of this policy on the part of the American branch of the white race has in it dangers for American democracy and Christianity similar in kind to those actually experienced from the practice and prejudice of the institution of American slavery. Those who taught false doctrines about the Negro in order to profit from their mind and heart from those who now teach other false theories concerning the Negro people in order to fix upon them a permanent and inferior status in American citizenship and democracy. The average Negro and the upper classes are just as loyal to the principles of Christianity and democracy as are the similar classes of other groups of the American body politic. The white race make a great mistake when they insist upon creating those false and unnatural conditions which require law-abiding Negroes to shield or defend Negro criminals as a means of self-defense and self-protection against public hostility and social degradation. To my mind it is indispensable to the public good that Negro bodies should be treated in the press and in the court of other criminal or person charged with crime—individually and in accord with the facts of the case. It is vitally important that the better class of the Negro people should be free from the necessity of constantly defending themselves against unjust aggression in any of the forms so prevalent in the United States, that they must be given resources to the social unfit of themselves and to the constructive welfare of the respective communities in which they reside. Use Power for Peace. The terrible war in Europe is the natural outgrowth of nations which incorporated in their foreign policy the insidious doctrine that white nations have the right to exploit the darker and weaker peoples in the interest of the more powerful nations the latter. And it is one of the ironies of fate that in their extremity they are forced to call upon the darker races to assist in saving white European civilization against itself. Few who now live fully realize the inter-racial and inter-ethnic nature of worldwide destruction of wealth and men. I wish, therefore, to ask that you use your great paper in the interest of inter-racial peace, truth and justice, and that in the future no encouragement be given to the spread of erroneous doctrines in inter-racial relationships between nations to sentiments of inter-racial good understanding and good will. I have written you thus at length because I know your paper to be fearless in what it believes to be right, and because of the splendid services it has rendered to this state and the nation. I do not flatter myself to think that I can enlighten you upon this subject as a assurance of my position as a member of the Negro race I have written at length to give emphasis to this appeal in behalf of the great majority of Negroes who aspire to be their best and to cooperate with their white fellow citizens in every state to construct a civilization, democratic in form and Christian in principle, that shall do exact justice to all races and men and insure peace and prosperity to our common country with the highest considerations, I am sincerely yours.-George, W.

Daily Thought There are three relationships in human life—commercial, which depend on what you have; social, which depend on what you do; and real, which depend on what you are. Beauty is in the ideal. To live with a high ideal is a successful life. It is not what one does, but what one tries to do, that makes the soul strong and fit for a noble career.—E. P. Teenny. Those Who Claim to Read Character Profess to See Ability Even in Illegible Writing. A newspaper editor, a friend of mine, wrote such a blind hand that it was a byword throughout the office and a terror to the typewriter. One day a friend perfectly his writing and signature took the scratch, most of which was absolutely meanless, to the editor himself, asking if he would kindly tell what he intended to say. The editor was a trifle annoyed at first and started out with: "I don't see why you fellow can't read my writing; it's plain enough. Now, this—well, let me see, and he stuilt over the deceptive scrap of paper for a few moments, and I can't remember, now just what I did write." People who profess to read character by handwriting seem to find traits of unusual ability in samples of the most illegible writing, so it all wrote plainly there might be less individuality in the world. I am tempted to say what perhaps I ought not, as it appears to be a slur upon my own sex—that, in my opinion, the peculiar and illegible writing of men is decidedly more characteristic than the meaningless weak and poor writing of a great many women. Whether a judge of handwriting would agree with me do not know. Our opinion is something peculiarly our own. Others may write in much the same way, but never exactly the same. Since handwriting is so individual a thing, and to some extent an index to our characters, let us hope that those who are quick to see what it denotes may always find some agreeable qualities.—Dorothy Wayne, in the Philadelphia I edger.

I wouldn't know how or just where to commence My feeling for you is too deep, too intense. It isn't, however, because from your toes To your head, you are garbed in the most modish clothes; Nor is it because when you look into mine Those eyes of yours sparkle like rarest of wine. I know other maids who have faces as fair, And like strands of gold is each lock of their hair. With lips like a rosebud, fresh kissed by the dew, And yet there is something I find dear in you that's lacking in everyone else that I've met, So that is the reason my heart has been set On just having you by my side while we wend Our way down Life's stream, to the end, to the end. CHICAGO IS A GREAT BIG CITY and there are all kinds of people to be found here, the good, the bad and the indifferent and they all bump into each other in the everyday walks of life and come out if we are made of the right stuff, none the worse for wear. Our public schools are open to all and especially in the higher grades, young men and women are thrown together and often form acquaintances that prove anything but beneficial to them. Parents who send their children to school and do not keep a close tab on their whereabouts after the school day closes, commit a grievous error and are not doing their duty in protecting their girl or boy and giving them the benefit of their experience, at an age when they are most impressionable and need it. One needs but to watch the high school students as they leave the building, supposedly by the school authorities, for their homes, to realize just what risks parents take in not seeing that their children come immediately home when school closes. The average girl or boy feels they are behind the times unless they have a sweetheart to escort them here and there and often looks and not character fascinate the thoughtless girl and the wolf in sheep's clothing drags her down to his level. Then when it is too late, the question arises, what is to be done about it? They were young and frivolous, their character was in the making, temptation came and they fell; they were not the first and probably will not be the last. While in school a strict watch was kept over them by their instructors, they were put on their honor to deport themselves becomingly from the schoolhouse to their homes, where the responsibility of the one ceases and that of the others begin. The easy going mother or father never questions the discrepancy between the time they left school and the time they arrived home, and if they do and some flimsy excuse is offered it is too readily accepted. Authorities on school questions have argued pro and con the question of mixed schools, the question of whether the boys should be separated in class work or should study and recite with the girls. The latter course is most generally adopted and seems to work out more satisfactorily; it is good for the boy because it tends to take off the rough edges and for the girl, because it makes her more reliant and self-poised. As the weed is bent so shall it grow. To the end that our boys and girls grow up to be men and women who will make their mark in the world, let every father and mother throw every safeguard about them while they are under their guidance. DR. FOSTER ON THE COLOR QUESTION. DR. GEORGE BURNAM FOSTER, OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, in a recent speech predicts that the colored race in a few hundred years will be entirely absorbed, and this intermingling is the only real solution of the vexed problem. He said in part, "that the races of America are amalgamating is not unwelcome to many thinkers. Let me give you an example: A year ago at a public gathering I addressed an audience which was one-third unquestionably Negro, another third unquestionably white, and the rest somewhere in between. That simply goes to show that we are now part way along in the process. As it is those who say the relations between whites and blacks is a symptom of mental defect on the part of the whites fail entirely to consider that times without number the scions of our best southern families have shown signs of such degeneracy." Dr. Foster knows full well that he is preaching a doctrine that does not set very well with a portion of his hearers, but he is a big enough man to give voice to his convictions whatever they may be. We are compelled to take exception to the learned Doctor's statement that "as time goes on the more cultured blacks will more or less naturally intermingle with the least cultured whites until eventually the whole process will have been completed and our race will have absorbed the other." In the first place, the better class of Afro-Americans do not seek the company of the whites be they cultured or uncultured. They are just as proud of their standing in the social scale of their own race as those of the white race are of their standing in the white race, and an intermarriage with this class is almost an unheard of thing. Farther down the social scale in both races we find the mingling some in the lower class may be and doubtless are just as good in every way as those above them save from an intellectual point of view, but it is in this class that we find the mixing. Some months ago the press of the country wasted many valuable columns of newspaper spreading the story, that a prize fighter of color had married a white woman, and the woman in the case was made out to be a perfect little angel, kidnapped from the realms above by a burly brute. Excitation ran so high that our wise (?) men at our seats of government think it best to pass laws prohibiting such occurrences. In some prejudiced states they succeeded. And when the whole thing was summed up what was it all about? A man and a woman far removed from what we term society either in the white or black race, decided they would live together as man and wife. Does any reasonable man or woman suppose our intelligent people only measure up to the semi- ```markdown ``` intelligent whites? While we aim to be big and broad in our views we find in our own circle men and women who measure up to our expectations in everything worth while. Perhaps as Dr. Foster asserts, we are losing our identity; if so, we are not proud over the fact. A black skin is no badge of disgrace—save in this country—and given the same time that the Doctor predicts it will take for the process to be completed, we feel without amalgamation we would be just as far advanced. KEEPING UP THE FIGHT. CLED AND NEWSPAPER OFFICE THE RIOT" is the heading in a West article it is learned that half a dozen agreed in a little squabble over elec- tro-Americans were driven into the admonition never to return; one was matter of form Judge Wilkinson jury to investigate the occurrence to deputies at his command.

This life in the attempt but he has no the world hates a coward and courage to fight in a land where protection for him in the law. Still ings and all other peaceful means fa- d Atlanta had a little touch in years meant; theirs was a costly experi- ment that has made them have more respect ever did before. The old adage full of one size was forcibly empha- sus a vast difference between the today American and there will be a still grea- man of the tomorrow. We have pa- n on the homestretch; there is not "ONE KILLED AND NEWSPAPER OFFICE WRECKED IN NEAR RACE RIOT" is the heading in a West Virginia paper. In reading the article it is learned that half a dozen men of both complexions were engaged in a little squabble over election with the result that the few Afro-Americans were driven into the hills of Logan county with the admonition never to return; one was killed just as a warning. As a matter of form Judge Wilkinson apparently summoned a special jury to investigate the occurrence and the sheriff is said to have 200 deputies at his command. A few days will pass, the murderers of this man will not be apprehended, the matter will drop and the little burg will go on its way rejoicing. One Afro-American more or less makes little difference to them anyhow; as for those who were driven away from their homes and all, little thought is paid to them. With such unchristianlike treatment the wonder is that there are not more of the so-called race riots. A man, whether he be in the North or the South, has a perfect right to protect his life and his home by any means at his command. He may and generally does lose his life in the attempt but he has made it easier for the other fellow; the world hates a coward and it takes a man of extraordinary courage to fight in a land where he knows there is absolutely no protection for him in the law. Still what else can be done when pleadings and all other peaceful means fail to bring results, New Orleans and Atlanta had a little touch in years gone by of what a race riot really meant; theirs was a costly experiment and the lesson that they learned has made them have more respect for the rights of others than they ever did before. The old adage that six feet of earth makes us all of one size was forcibly emphasized in these two cities. There is a vast difference between the today and the yesterday of the Afro-American and there will be a still greater difference in the Afro-American of the tomorrow. We have passed the half-mile post and are now on the homestretch; there is nothing that can now head us off. OUR PART IN POLITICS. ATT ELECTION IS OVER perhaps, a situation over calmly and the happenings in the political field. The Democratic landslide; there was what the Republicans would get at it. The switching of Alexander A. Republican to the head of the Provisional County Board had much to do with the entire Republican county ticket, in the running. With the downfall of representatives, Dr. George Cleveland, but to their credit it can be a nice race, they were loyally supported and of their ticket. A tangible proponent becoming a factor in things political in the story is different. For the first we have two representatives in the room, re-elected from the third district. The winning of fifty of the positive of our advancement and of the doctrine that nothing is gained and that we must have and support a remark that we should not expect who are to represent us in the legislature, we simply a small part of a great long wedges so to speak, sentinels constrictive legislation against a people that misinterpretations of even the constitution. Their responsibility is given will measure up to the confidence the NOW THAT ELECTION IS OVER perhaps we can sit down and look the situation over calmly and digest the reasons for the many strange happenings in the political field. There's a reason for the so-called Democratic landslide; there was every indication before election that the Republicans would get a large slice of the elective offices. The switching of Alexander A. McCormick from the head of the Republican to the head of the Progressive party, as President of the County Board had much to do with the overwhelming defeat of the entire Republican county ticket, the Progressives scarcely being in the running. With the downfall of these parties went our own representatives, Dr. George Cleveland Hall and Col. Franklin A. Dennison, but to their credit it can be said, and to the credit of the entire race, they were loyally supported by their own, running far ahead of their ticket. A tangible proof that the Afro-American is fast becoming a factor in things political. In the contest for state officers the story is different. For the first time in the history of Illinois we have two representatives in the State legislature, Robert R. Jackson, re-elected from the third district, and S. B. Turner from the first district. The winning of fifty per cent of our candidates is proof positive of our advancement and of the slow but sure absorption of the doctrine that nothing is gained except through our own efforts, and that we must have and support leaders. It is also pertinent to remark that we should not expect too much from these two men who are to represent us in the legislative halls of the State. They are simply a small part of a great law making body. They are entering wedges so to speak, sentinels constantly on guard to ward off any adverse legislation against a people already seriously handicapped by the misinterpretations of even the amendments to our national constitution. Their responsibility is great and we feel sure that they will measure up to the confidence the people have imposed in them. HON. JAMES W.

In his "Views and Reviews" are presented bits of philosophy and kernels from the facts of real life and living so rare and delightful until the most casual observer can not but take to heart and be the more thoughtful for the reading. Mr. Johnson possesses much modesty, he opens the windows of his literary genius so the light can radiate therefrom through his poetry, his drama and now journalistic art. His latest book, "The Autobiography of an ex-Colored Man," which created favorable comment and reached such enormous sales, failed to bear his name as author. He hides behind the non de plume, and retreats his identity into the realms of the unknown; perhaps such humility is the best test of genius. We have so constantly heard and felt the call for the material in life until writers and idealists amongst us are almost unknown. In Mr. Johnson we may find epitomized an exponent of a new order and intellectual of whom we may be proud.

Rarely can a man culture be found stooping to humiliate; it is only the climbers and thekeys; the former has nothing to fear. COUNTY CLERK LARKWORTHY of St. Joseph, Michigan, assumed a great deal of authority when he refused a marriage license to Edward Hayes because he wished to marry Blanche Schoemaker, a young lady of color. Hayes secured a writ of mandanus ordering the clerk to issue the license. The clerk took the position that there were impediments in the law prohibiting such a marriage, but Judge Bridgman assured him there was no provision in the law upholding the clerk. Many times our ill-treatment can be laid at the door of some overofficious underling who only voices his own sentiments and not those of his superior officers. Rarely can a man or woman of refinement and culture be found 'stooping to humiliate someone less fortunate than they; it is only the climbers and the strainers who resort to such things; the former has nothing to fear, the latter everything. The Michigan judge put the quietus at least for a time on the question of intermarriages. It is not that we approve of such things but we demand the right to use our own discretion in matters that concern our own welfare. DR. WASHINGTON IN THE OUTLOOK. IN THE OCTOBER OUTLOOK is a splendidly written article by Dr. Booker T. Washington. "A Jew, the Negroes, and the Y. M. C. A." is the caption. It is brim full of interesting facts and figures and shows the marvelous growth of these institutions in the past few years, and the untold benefit accruing to the race therefrom. He says in short, "the young colored man learns in the Y. M. C. A. how religion can and should be connected up with all the ordinary practical interests and wholesome natural pleasures of life." The example of a poor colored man giving one thousand dollars of his savings to the local institution, such as was done by James Tilghman, and similar amounts having been subscribed by other race men for buildings in other cities, is a new order of things among our people. We are learning self-help and self-saerifice very cardinal elements in race and character building.

The completion in 1893 of the canal across the Isthmus of Corinth was the finish of a scheme for which the first survey was made in the year 600 B. C., when Perlander employed Egyptian engineers to carry out the work. Nero actually commenced the work along the site of the present canal, but at his death it was abandoned and the project was not revived until 1882, and this though the total length of the canal is under four miles.

We briefly mention fact, as subsequently we must attack illegal and inhuman attempts on the part of certain Afro-Americans in different parts of the United States, who by word and action are the mouthpiece of separate schools for blacks and whites under the public school system. Separate schools for Afro-Americans is the theory of a few educated men of the race, who, because of the inheritance of freedom, which other men have fought for and attained, in consequence of which their own opportunity to acquire a little learning, now observed with aid of a Divine right of teaching school, other human beings have thought that they were born to become kings by Divine right. What is the difference between slaveholders, whether they be white or black, or any other? s tionnection worthy of mention? We see none. Is there any difference in the position these men assume who would regulate the Afro-American youth with the attitude of Jim Crowism in order that they might have a job? We think not. Let us seek the principle. Any theory subversive to natural rights of civil liberty is contrary to justice and accepted law as it is written. Murder is wrong, and we condemn it. So it is with every crime in the decalogue. We have forbidden under the Constitution of the United States unlawful discrimination because of race or previous condition of servitude—which is a political wrong. Those classes who are willing to offend the law by unlawful procedure in establishing separate schools, in full defiance of Federal enactments to the contrary notwithstanding, are they not law breakers, even though such action exists through conspiracy of an entire People. Even though they are African-American teachers and white lawmakers, they are offenders against common justice to the same degree as if any other statute or code written by the people had been broken by them. The time when come when the race must condemn false leadership and its illegitimate conduct; when it must condemn hypocrisy, dishonesty and selfishness of its professional class; when it must strike, and strike hard, every effort to defend its political and civil rights, regardless of whoever may be the conspirators against them. The weight of the manhunt for the Afro-American race must stand firm against the selfishness of any class who would create the condition of master and slave. If education creates slavish instincts within us, may we not bow in sorrow over tears and suffering, the waste of wealth and treasure, the great loss of human life are freedom to us because a legal right? No separate schools for Afro-Americans at their own institution, let us weaken the spirit of slavery. No separate Afro-Americans, as with it we become slavers and bring the curse of its domination upon our children. Slavery is death! The blight of truth and the curse of darkness! With its theory comes the condemnation of human happiness and social progress. Sound the alarm! until every honest man in the nation will fight this leprosy of hell. Hanging is too good for the thief, political scalawag, educated hypocrite and selfish coward who would thwart the genial progress of the struggling Afro-American youth whose rights are today guaranteed by nation-wide laws through valor, horloism and righteous manhood of his parent. Who would stoop so low as to place aught in the way of this youth, whose only fault is the dark skin that God has given him? We forget the ethics of many conduct if we allow such wolves to est within our ridges upon the of honest labor, while so many must suffer the hell of the from the day that they are born. Where will such cowardice lie the part of Afro-American leadership lead the race to, if not into the blackest dungeons of inferiority? Look ahead! Such leadership is false. It is base, as it is subservient. This is God's country. No citizen is inferior because of his color. Realize now what separate school means all over the nation. As an institution, it is a principle of inferiority, based upon color prejudice. It is the institutions artificial distinction in that which race has created—the human race. It is against the spirit of common justice and natural liberty. It opposes honesty and righteousness among men and women. Its teaching to the youth is unchristian and its effect upon the man. ```markdown ``` --- PRIDE IN THE OWNERSHIP OF PANAMA CANAL but it is not us have elapsed between its concep- no means constitutes a record in the completion in 1893 of the canal is the finish of a scheme for which year 600 B.

Because of its growing power the Afro-American toilers of this nation (and there are millions of them) are placed upon inferior basis while competing with other labor. For the truth of this assertion we may refer to some of our principal industries. For instance, the Pulman and other transportation agencies. Listen to the truth! Afro-Americans are Jimcrowed upon the railroads, just as they are Jimcrowed in your schoolhouses. The principle is just the same. The law of inferiority never changes. It is true in school, in industries, law, religion, etc. The separate school regime is the gist of the evil influences of slavery's curses. It is deep rooted in the existence of wrong action, wrong thinking and wrongdoing. In its path flame passions of racial hatred, burning and burning of the nobler precepts of our being. As a result the rightmost cause of liberty it is our duty to bring to light the dark treachery of its bitter foes. There is nothing more pointed in conflict with justice than separate schools. Its far-reaching effect is almost beyond our comprehension. Think of poisoning the nobler spirit of childhood with the evil influences of slavery and its hell of tragedies. Think of administering poison to this defenseless childhood, that it may grow up with hatred towards Almighty God! Beware, O man, lest with this poison the nation shall die. "Suffer little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven." Who ever heard of the kingdom of heaven under Jimcrowism? God's Earth. A half century since a foe has trod the soil, A half century long we're free of strife, turmoll. Twoscore years and ten since fetters shackled man— Aye, fifty years ago the slave was born again. Freedom, kind Freedom, with love and justice won! Liberty and Justice. O God! Thy kingdom's come. Reign, O Lord! earth is Thy Infinite throne. The victory of Appomattox claim as Thy own. We'll never forget the morning when we dead nuns filled the ear. There was anguish and rejoicing in the heaven that is here; There were tears of joy abundant, like a river in a flood. Prayer given to our Maker paid for saber and its blood. Gallant soldiers never faltered, but in freedom's cause they died. Love, Truth and Justice, may it be eternal guide. Reign, O Lord! earth is Thy infinite throne, The victory of Appomattox claim as Thy own. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Question: In the state of Illinois, does seven years' separation divorce a man and wife without a suit in equity?

Any person a decree for divorce should apply to the attorneys for the Defender for full information, without charge, at 3000 South Street, Ellis & Westbrooks. Lawyers in Jail. Question: Have the colored prisoners in the county jail any redress gains: the poor, white, defrauding attorneys, who are given permission to solicit cases by special privilege of jail authorities, and who take the colored prisoner money and in many instances render them little or no service for the same? Answer: Yes. Colored prisoners have redress in such cases. They should send in a reputable colored attorney and if not permitted to do this, they should write a letter to the Chicago Legal Help for advice and refuse to give their money to the white clients are permitted to solicit cases in the jail. Colored prisoners will get little or no relief from the conditions of which they complain only if they refuse to employ unknown white attorneys losing in and about the jail through favoritism. Few of them know any in their colored client and get doing their money and allowing them to prison with little or no effort in their colored client's behalf. If a Divorces Again Lawyers in Jail.

BARTLETT & CO., Owners Chicago's Largest Real Estate Operator 59-69 W. Washington St. PETER H. Medical Emergencies What to Do and What Not to Do—A few Sunday nights ago I visited one of the 'large churches on the South Side and during the services a lady had an epileptic fl. Friends rushed her into one of the parlor of the church. Many friends, strangers and others gathered around this poor victim, their her liver lumps; some indiscrete person gathered each hand, while others ran for salts, others ran for a pail of water and the bulk of the crowd anxiously gathered around looking on, obstructing the passageway of those who were endeavoring to render assistance to the poor victim and shutting out all the fresh air and almost suffocating the air in the room. The misfortunes that may occur at any time and at any place are epileptic fails, fainting, hysterical convulsions in children, gas poisoning, sewer and illuminating gas, etc. Epileptic Flits. The individual afflicted with epileptic fits deserves our pity and often sympathy. These fits are divided into two classes, according to the degree of severity: The first type is the grand mal, or the very severe type, which makes its onset by some peculiar noise or outcry, and is followed by convulsions. The individual becomes unconscious and goes through various convulsive contortions. The second, petit mal, or light form, may come on without any known or excitable cause. They are more frequent in regularity, and the unconscious state is transitory—very short in duration. In petit mal, or the mild form of epilepsy, there is not much to be done except to prevent the individual from injuring himself or herself. In grand mal, or the severe type of fits, knowing an individual to be subject to fits, first do all you can to prevent fits by avoiding alcoholics, overeating late at night, excitement (emotional or fright); by frequent bathing, colored prisoner does not know a good colored attorney, he should at once write to the Defender Legal Helps and one will be recommended who will properly present the cases of colored prisoners. More Trouble in Jail. Question: Is their any relief against the brutality which a turnkey and storekeeper inflicted upon a colored prisoner in the jail on Nov. 4th, 1914, by beating him and putting him in the dungeon? Answer: Yes, all the facts in the case should be ascertained, the name of the prisoner beaten, the cause, the names of the persons who did the same, and the additional punishment inflicted, and the entire affair sent to the Chicago Defender, and the proper representations will be made to the jail authorities and the sheriff. Answer: The same answer applies to all the complaints as to race discrimination practiced in the jail against colored prisoners. Get the facts and the petty officers, who practice them will be reported to the sheriff and jail authorities. Get the names of the officers in the jail who mistreat colored prisoners and the way and manner in which they discriminate, and send the information to the Defender and efforts will be made to correct all abuses of authorities and discrimination. EDITOR'S MAIL The Afro-American and His Career. 'Opelika, Ala., Nov. 13. Dear Editor: It has been asked: "What is an Afro-American's life?" My answer is, that it is a sublime poem. For his life is one of the divinest things in the world. In its beauty, action and power, it is the superlatively great and good. It is the outflow of a divine intention and is charged with a divine purpose, which gives it a sacredness and dignity infinitely above all simple material things. Every Afro-American's life, even the humble, is a marvel, the wonders of which the world can but partially comprehend. It would pass as it is experienced. It would pass any poem ever created in enchanting interest, and would be read as the literary wonder of the world. It would be a real life in word-plurals, with its loves and hates, its hopes and fears, its doubts and faiths, its as- NO CASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES regulating bowels, regulating menstrual disturbances, etc. In care of fits prevent the individual from injuring himself or herself; prevent overaxent friends or curious bystanders from injuring the victim. You can always tell when a convulsion is coming on by the peculiar warning or outcry, called the "aura." Take a roll of bandage or a wedge of wood and put between the teeth of the individual to prevent laceration of tongue. A roll of bandage or wedge of wood or clothspin are better to use for this purpose than a spoon. When the convulsion is of great length or one follows close after another you had better immediately call in the doctor, for the individual's life is in danger. He is in that state which is usually called epileptic fits. Things not to do in trying to cure fits: Do not give the poor victim rattle snake poison. Do not throw whole buckets of water on him or her. Do not stuff the mouth full of salt. Do not throw your weight upon the poor victim. But, the contrary, loosen all clothing about neck and waist; remove corseur or any constrictors about the waist or chest; clear out the over anxious friends and curious bystanders; give the afflicted person plenty of fresh air; make him comfortable and send for the doctor. Fainting. Fainting may arise from any cause — causes serious or trivial. Fainting is more common in women than in men. In women overexertion, excitement at the menstrual period, depression or any great emotional excitement, great grief, sorrow, despondency — all of these are factors bringing about fainting. If one of your friends should have a fainting spell loosen clothing, sprinkle cold water in face, bathe neck and chest; a little aromatic spirits of ammonia is good; also smelling salts. Eliminate all friends; give plenty of air; elect bystanders; make patient comfortable; secure quiet and rest. pirations and ambitions. Its deep sorrows and high joys, set in such vivid contrast, strong colors, intense expressions, that every reader would realize that it was himself put into real language. No Afro-American's life has yet been truly written. There is more strong thought, burning emotion, tender sympathy, intense love, hope and fears in his life than has been written. To tell what any mind imagines, to write accurately what goes on in his soul, is more and greater thing than human, nor human. Mr. Abbott Dear Sir: I wish to congratulate you upon having a paper so widely read. Your personal column is a wonder. Through the personal column I found a cousin of mine that I had not seen for 40 years. I had lost trace of her entirely, as she has been living in Canada. Our meeting was a very happy one. We feel lost without a paper, so we have it delivered by one of your carriers regularly. Yours truly, J. P. ADAMS, 3553 Prairie avenue. Monmouth, I., Nov. 5, 1914. Mr. R. S. Abbott. Chicago, Ill. As my subscription to The Chicago Defender has expired, I am sending in my subscription for another year. I consider The Chicago Defender one of the best journals published. It ought to be taken by every well-regulated family in Chicago, and those who well informed should take it in order to become so. The Chicago Defender is a family paper and will bring peace to every Negro family and will bring us closer together as a race if we follow the directions of its editor. Enclosed find one dollar and fifty ($1.50) for a year's subscription. Wishing The Defender continued success, I remain. Respectfully, DR. G. W. JONES. CAN YOU SEE THE POINT?
