WILLIAMS SINGERS ON SUCCESSFUL SOUTHERN TOUR World Famous Company Make Hit Everywhere on First Circuit of South—Sing to Crowded Houses Nightly—Press Is Unstinted in Praise. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 22. The Williams Jubilee Singer of Chicago, IL, are making a triumphant tour in the South. Everywhere they sang they turned away people. The company made such a tremendous hit here that they made a return engagement. The press of the South has the following to say of the noted singers. Says the Memphis Western World: Wednesday evening, January 6, the best New York City Memphis were on masse. Full 1,500 colored and white citizens of Memphis packed Church's Auditorium to its utmost seating capacity. Standing room was even at a premium, the occasion being the Williams Singers of Chicago touring the South. The music lovers of Memphis thus showed their appreciation of the higher classics in music and true Negro melody and harmony. This company, under the shrewd management of Mr. C. P. Williams, a musician, has enjoyed the highest success, on the occasion throughout two continents of any other similar troupe traveling. In an interview with Mr. George L. Johnson, correspondent of the company, we find that the Williams Colored Singers have enjoyed the very highest esteem of both American and European audiences for the past ten years. The personnel of the company is comprised of the following debutantes: Mr. Charles P. Williams, manager and second tenor; Mr. J. H. Johnson, music director; Mrs. Clark K. controlor; Mrs. Virginia G.琳 controlor; Mrs. Marie Peake Merrill, dramatic soprano; Mr. George L. Johnson, first tenor; J. S. Crabbe, basso."

King, Noted Criminal Attorney, Declines Obscure Position. in Attorney General's Office Because It Would Keep Him Out of the Courts and Away from Public. EMPTY HONOR IS NO LURE Writes Manly Letter and is Praised by People—Another Race Lawyer Accepts Position—Retiring Democratic Official First to Appoint an Afro-American. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Columbus, O. Jan. 22—The Democratic attorney general of the state who retired from office the first of last week, was the first attorney general in the history of the state to appoint an Afro-American lawyer as one of his assistants. He appointed Attorney Leroy Godman of this city at $1,800 per year. F. C. Turner, the Republican attorney general who succeeded to the office last week, appointed another race lawyer. Ted Green of Youngstown, but first reduced the salary to $1,500 the lowest in the office. The position is an obscure one, giving Green no opportunity to get in touch with the courts or public. Previous to offering the place to green the Republican attorney-general offered it to Wilbur King, for twelve years assistant county prosecuting attorney and recognized as one of the ablest criminal lawyers here to reference color. Although he had the greater salary than Green will receive, obscurity of the position prompted King to decline it in the following many letter addressed to Attorney General Turner: "I have given the subject of my appointment a great deal of thought since I saw you last; and, while I appreciate your consideration for me, I cannot bring myself to believe it will be the best for me or my people to accept. I will take away from the courts and juries and out of touch with the public with which it has taken me a long time to build up a relation of confidence and good will, and at the end of two years I would find myself a stranger to the courts and people of my county. Second, my people are passing through a strange crisis and they need some work to protect their interests, and I owe it to them to do whatever I can in their behalf. In the office of attorney general all things must meet at a common point. My duty to my people might easily lead in a different direction from the administration policy of the office. I could not afford to embarrass the hand, not stuiltify myself on the job. These are only some of the things that so strongly urge me to go back to the ranks of general practice, which I have fully determined to do." The attorney general saw to it that the colored representative in his office had his salary cut $300 per year, but he did not cut his own salary. Wilbur King is being highly praised by the refusing to accept an job position.

New Orleans, La., Jan. 22.—While a passenger in the "Jim Crow" coach of Texas & Pacific train the night of November 29th, 1914, Mr. George Daniel, a well known resident of this city, as attacked by two white men and seriously injured and robbed of $18, lost his baggage and a doctor. His crew failed to aid him when appealed to and he was kicked off the train at Harvey's Canal. Crew Would Not Aid Him. For these indignities he has sought redress in the courts and this week his attorneys filed a petition in the United States District Court to recover damages to the amount of $688. He claims that the railroad company employs him to protect him, and on this account the Texas & Pacific should pay him the amount sued for. SATURDAY Captain and Mrs. Harry Mallory.

POLICE MUST HAVE EVIDENCE TO CONVICT AFRO-AMERICANS. Recorder Johnson in Atlanta, Ga., Warns Detectives that Color is Not Sufficient for Punishment in His Court—Detective is Reprimanded. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 22—The unjust Southern custom that the arrest of an Afro-American was equal to a conviction don't hold good in Recorder Johnson's court. This fact came to light Tuesday when Detective Gene Coker was given a hot call down for making cases for trial with no evidence to convict. The recorder declared that as fast as such cases come before him they be dismissed, and that no official of this department is going to dictate to him how the court shall be conducted. Color Is Not Evidence. The particular case Tuesday morning was the complaint of Mrs. A. Greenberg, of 313 Alburn avenue, that Lewis Simon, an Afro-American plasterer, had robbed her bureau of $15 while doing some work in the house. Detective Coker, who prosecuted the case, offered as evidence that the Negro was the last person known to Lewis Simon, the room when the money was missed, as related to him by Mrs. Greenberg. "It's self-identified who stole the money," said the detective. "That's no evidence," said the recorder. "I'll dismiss this case." Running His Own Court. As Coker was leaving the recorder's desk he said it appeared to him a white woman's word was better than a black man's. "What do you mean by that?" asked Judge Johnson. Detective Coker repeated his remark: "I'm running this court, not you," the recorder replied hotly. "There was no evidence to convict. Furthermore, I want to tell you right now that just as fast as these sort of cases come before me I shall dismiss them. I don't care who makes them, or anybody else. Nobody in the police or detective departments is going to dictate how I shall conduct this court." GRAND LODGE OF MASONS AP: POINTS HOUSTON TREASURER Houston, Tex. Jan. 22—(Special) R. C.

(Special to the Chicago Defender.) Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 22—The A. M. E. Church Review, Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor, publishes this remarkable story in its January number: "You doubtst read some time since about one of the kaiser's sons being invalided home, suffering from heart disease, but we did not know the only recently transpired that this young man is by his illness through fire. He was standing near the battle line in northern France during the earlier stages of the war when an Algerian brigade, France's famous black fighters, broke through and began mowing down the Germans. They routed the line and the prince and his staff, laying out as they went. The black warriors cut down the staff members so fast that the prince fell frightened almost to death. He is in the hospital to which he was sent. The awful carriage of those damsmen in battle scared that young soldier out of his wits.

Anderson Has the Voters in All Sections of the Ward—Best Fitted Man For the Place—Popular with Women—Clubs Organized. (By Captain John L. Fry.) The Afro-Americans of Chicago have for many years looked forward to the time when they would have a representative in the city council. Two conditions have favored us in the last few years that may bring about the community of ours in the campaign that is now upon us. First, large numbers of the race have moved into the district already known as the "black belt." And then, as if Providence the ward were so changed as to put them in all one ward; now with a few votes from our friends within the white voters we can easily win our vote. But what are the conditions confronting us: Three men in a death struggle, holding each other back, all sure to lose unless the voters themselves take a hand in the fray, decide to lose unless the voters insist that the others retreat. This is what makes for the best interests of 70,000 Afro-American people of Chicago, and they will not allow the personal desires of a few men to defeat them. The white citizens agreed that we should have an alderman. They would not allow the men they furnished money, they have contended all along that when they sprung the barrier and said "go" we would get together and win. They are watching us now. When we lose (as we are sure to do under present conditions) can we face them with resolutions and actions, when (continued on page 7). TROTTER AND FRENCH SPEAK IN ST.

The Horrors the Monticello Outrage and the able Details Reluctantly Told to Show. Who a Curse is Tolerated in this Boasted Land of the Free. "If you must die, take at least one with you." Far be it from our Thoughts to inoculate a spirit of rebellion into the minds of the members of the Afro-American race, but the Inhuman, barbous, ungodly treatment of that portion of the race residing in the Southland in the form of brutal murders, dignified by the term of lynching, force the Chicago Defender and every other race-loving newspaper, preacher or speaker, to advise their people, if they must die, die fighting. Nothing in Watchful Waiting. "It has been the custom of the Afro-American press to teach conservative means to stop this outrageous treatment of this defenseless group of people and let the law take its course, but such counsel has been so much wasted breath. Southern State and City Officials ridicule the daily toll of human lives to satisfy the blood lusts of a lot of degenerate crackers and semi-respectable poor whites, whose only excuse for lawlessness is a spirit of envy. Sometimes back the unspeakable crime was always given as a cause for these outbursts of brutal passion against a defenseless people, but more frequent the murders of offftimes whole families of offftimes the most trivial cause. The Outrage at Monticello. For Instance, the Monticello outrage of a week ago, whereby a man, his son and two daughters, were beaten nearly to death, and then strung up to a tree at midnight, were the most peaceful citizens, even the most sensational Southern newspapers could find no fault with them, except it was and always was illegal to sell liquor. This crime she helped as one of the most horrible of the most precious mob-murders, and no wonder a peaceful citizen cries out in Holy Horror for not a voice is raised in protest. Since the new year began, hardly a day passes that the newspapers don't record the taking of human life by some frenzied Southern mob.

Anderson should be the people's choice and your straw ballot systems through your valuable power for the people shows your God/spirit and fairness to the aspiring candidates, and in this way you show malice to none and goodness to everyone, so it up to the people to choose the right man. If chosen it will be up to them to continue to do right, for men to change after the election. Now, on the other hand, if the people do certain, give the man a change from wrong to right for the people, for Jesus stopped long enough to give the theft opposite cross a compliment ticket to Paradise.

I cannot understand why these so-called political leaders do not use some judgment and try to lead us poor people up higher instead of down lower. Now we are talking about the American Alfamerian in the city council I think these gentlemen who are running for that position should get to know the people of all us decide which one is to run. I think the proposition of elimination of the race in the city council of the candidates, should be accepted by the others. If the people of the race in the city council get a representative in the city council they will know how to classify the candidates in the church and the business world. In the last issue of your paper I read with much interest, pleasure, and profit the story of the former senator relating to the present campaign in the second ward for alderman. I also eliminated issues the photo of elimination submitted to the photo of Anderson, one of the candidates for that position, and I rejoice to know that we have our own senator, a woman. We womenselves are democratic, that we propose to use our recently acquired right to vote in the interest of our senator, that cannot be attributed wholly to the man. I for one, and all that I can interest will use all honorable means to bring in the second motion of an Alro-American in the second motion of an Andersonian only our blindness will prevent it. These other two candidates by their refusal may say by their votes whom they want for the council, and certainly put themselves in the position where their motives can conscientiously be questioned. If they insist on standing for the nomination and election of a member of our race to the city council, they should be ignored. For my part I propose to be qualified for the nomination and election of a member of Anderson has shown, and, like Mr. Montgomery will from now until the day of work for and, on that day vote for Lords and Commons, and that门ange rings true and I hope the women of the second ward will see the situation as I have.

C. he was the terror of the world. He killed his own family, their children, even different things and their courts, and left everywhere trails of dead. He invaded Greece and there slaughtered nearly half a million human beings, then he marched against Rome with awful carnage. In his own army he was to have billed at least a million times that number of his enemies. Languages of the World. Strange as it may seem, there are more than four thousand languages spoken by mankind, while the number of dialects exceeds this. There are more than sixty vocabularies in Brazil and in Mexico the Nabua is broken up into some seven hundred dialects. There are hundreds in Borneo, while in Australia there is no classifying the complexities. Assuming that 50 dialects on the average belong to each language, we have the colossal total of 250,000 linguistic varieties. First English Newspaper The first newspaper printed in the English language, with its old English type and its quaint account of events in foreign countries, was a pamphlet issued in 1621. Its title, "Corrant or Nevives From Italian, Germanic, France and Other Places," is as curious as its contents. For many years it had been supposed that no copy of the Corrant was in existence but recently a copy of this interesting document was discovered.—Exchange. New Facts About Cancer.

Ulcer of the stomach, hand, appears most frequently between the ages of forty and forty years. In over 90 per cent of the cases of cancer heredity seemed to play no part whatever. WORK IS DONE!

Springfield, Ohio, January 22--Rg- presentative S. D. Pess, of Ohio, in a speech in this House, unjustly opposed the Senate amendment to the immigration bill which bars the black race from entering the United States as being unfair to a progressive race. He said in part: "I do not speak as an opponent of the immigration bill. I voted for that bill when we had it before the House. I have looked upon the question of immigration as important. I believe that we ought to have a better class of immigrants, if possible. The bill as it went from the Senate not only satisfied me to me but when it comes back from the Senate with this particular amendment to it I certainly could not vote for the bill if the amendment remains in it. "It is unwise, it is unfair, it is not magnanimous, and it is an attempt to raise a sectional question—and God knows that our nation is too big to be magnanimous," he said, needless, even if the contention of its proponents were conceded, because of the small number of this race which comes to our shores. It is an attempt to take an advantage of members of a race which has proved its right to consideration by an achievement that challenges the admiration of the world. Progress Bright Page in History. "The plain recital of the accomplishment of this race, measured by the lack of opportunities of hundreds of years of slavery, furnishes as brilliant a page as can be found in the history of our country. This unfortunate people have suffered sufficiently from a lack of protection of the government. After 250 years of unrequited toil the shackles of slavery were broken; but even now all the rights that belong to a nation of free men are not enjoyed by this race that the national government pretends to protect. Whatever should be the conduct of the nation on today, we must not offer this additional benefit; it is adding insult to injury. The amendment should be defeated." On the vote the amendment was defended by an overwhelming majority. Personal and Otherwise. The Pioneer Circle celebrated old Christmas last Wednesday, January 6, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Butler on West Pleasant street. The house, which is an ideal one in every respect, was tastefully decorated throughout in the usual Christmas colors and such hospitality as was shown by Mr. and Mrs. Butler after supper was all that anyone could wish. After supper all received presents which were on a large tree. Each lady present received a hat as a souvenir from Mr. and Mrs. Butler and the gentleman received elegars from Mr. Butler. The following were present in the 'Circle'; Miss Arison, president of the Mary; Mrs. and Thomas Chay, Mr. and Mrs. William Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. William Brown, Mr. and Mrs. James Harding and daughter Ruth, Mrs. Ellen Wilson, Mrs. Maggie Robertson and daughter Lydia, Miss Vinnia Davis, Mrs. Mary Johnson, Mrs. Frank Dent, Mrs. Phillip Thompson, Mrs. Mrs. William Smith, Mrs. William Fry, Mary Losty Hill and daughter, Mrs. Mary Desn, Mr. and Mrs. William Stafford, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Madison, Mrs. Q.

It is seriously doubted, from recent researches, that the memory resides in any particular tissue such as the brain, the ganglion cells or the nerves.

Majors Takes Fall Out of Egotistical and Ignorant Skunks in the Employ of Railroads Who Delight in Humiliating Their Own People. OVERBEARING USURPERS OF AUTHORITY DO NO GOOD. Noted Writer Unburdens Mind on This Class of Vicious and Disgusting Servants But Praises Good Ones, Whom He Declares Are Chesterfieldians at Heart. By Dr. M. A. Majors. The Chicago Defender lambes the fact that occasionally so much is done to humiliate the race, and often by men and women of the race. The Chicago Defender rallies a ridiculous display of egotism by an Afro-American on a State street car. It is assumed that he was either going to the yards at 63rd street or coming off of his run. He had read that the Chinese were selling their wives, and he announced loud enough to be heard the entire length of the car that if times got much worse with him he would have to sell his. When he had finished several stalwart white men he would have him in the worst language possible. This reminds us of something we have had on our minds for many weary months. It is quite the rule for passengers of African descent to suffer certain kinds of humiliation of their own race are the offenders in a pity. Often while travelling members of the race avail themselves of a freedom of service, accommodations guaranteed to all, white and black alike. Now when you should become or seem to be a little airy (it would be better that it be to be so), how would you like to be told by a man of color in the company's employ that "you were exceeding your bounds?" "Putting it on a little too strong?" or that "the company don't grant Afro-Americans such freedom"? Qut Beled the Butt of Jokes. ...Another thing. Our people should quit allowing themselves to be the victim of joke carried on in jocular fashion by devil take it," "dont care" follows. It looks awful when the car porter joins a merry making party (white of course) who are poking fun at some old mummy or pappy who seems to be a city. Of course they are clumsy and appear just a trifle feeble when it comes to knowing worldly things, as they are right, and the principles that prompt a noble humanity ring true. We have heard numerous stories of the conduct of employees given to them by their employer, to those who employ them, and who are prejudiced to the race. Railroad companies, hotels and other institutions that employ large numbers of waiters, janitors, door men, floor men or what not, do not clothe any of their Afro-American help with the dignity of carrying out the quality of service upon their own color. Other Races Stick Together If a colored gentleman is admitted to the dining room of the Auditorium and was not insulted by the management of the hotel, it would be unmanly for him on his own blood to insinuate upon his status and refuse to give him the best service possible.

Game in California. California is one of the richest states of the Union in game. The varieties include deer, elk, moose, antelope, coyote, fox, rabbit, hare, gorilla, goose, brant, plover, snake and rail. the other fellows." It is such a shame that the Afro-American refuses to stand up and be counted for his own people. All porters, waiters and cooks are counted as cruel to members of their race but the nutter seems to be emphasized, and grows into alarming proportions when a case presents itself only here and there. When they are cruel it seems to multiply the anomaly of the situation. Perhaps as we grow larger in the nobler things of humanity we will become less warped by petty feastfulness. We will accord more and more the proper respect due men and women who are ambitious and who believe in availing themselves of every privilege to humanity at whatever cost. Praise for the Better Class There are hundreds of our porters and waiters whose human kindness and hospitable spirit make them seem Chesterfieldian at heart, whose cultivation and refinement radiate and who, whenever the opportunity allows, go to the extreme limit in showing the passenger of their own race every kind attention due any other kind of passengers, and all ought to do this. Of these gentlemen porters and waiters had rather leave their lucrative positions than to mistreat one of their own race. Often when they seem to pay too much attention to an Afro-American passenger they get a calling down, but no matter, they go the limit just the same, apprehension that a passenger of color well behaved can expect from such consideration as anybody else. Of course as a people we should always conduct ourselves in a resplendent fashion, and avoid extravagance, and never become too solicitous in matters of over-attention. We should never hard for the porter or waiter. We should do it ourselves, and then find fault with the services given us. How Would You Like It? How would you like to be snatched on a boat crossing the Ohio river going south, and have one of your own blood who suffers all the horrors you are made to suffer because he is black, come to your seat and order you to vacate and go into the car the southern man is driving with the gangsters of the race? It is a very狠 sight to see, and yet a thousand times over it can be witnessed going out of a free state into a southern state. We mention this because no man can be unholy and thankful for that that carries such an unholy and thankful Result of Vicious System. It is not to be thought that The Defender puts the blame upon the porter; it is as in all cases where our people are greatly humiliated that white men fix a system by which the man abused and made little of by his own people are some porters that think it big, and they can parade themselves before cheap white men when they take the stunt of inflicting their damnable and pernicious bigotry to the shame and magnent expense of the fine feelings of our progressive members of their own race.

The Best Glory I love and commend a true good fame, because it is the shadow of virtue; not that it doth any good to the body which it accompanies, but it is an efficacious shadow, and, like that of St. Peter, cures the diseases of others.

CHICAGO DEFENDER SEES NO NEED FOR MORE TALK. If There is to Be Segregation in Social Affairs in the Public Schools Abolish the Social Affairs—"The White Pupils Objected," said Mrs. Smith—Fear of Student Domination Caused the Ban on Fraternities—Why Not the Same in This Case? The recent publicity of social activities at the Wendell Phillips High School, one of the public schools of Chicago, has been a result of the attendance of the attendants are Aro-American, in the daily papers of last week, resulted in an open meeting at the Fellowship League, under the auspices of the University of Chicago, the afternoon. The mere announcement was sufficient to crowd the league's quarters to their utmost capacity to hear Mrs. Pamla Smith, the dean of the Professor Pyrene, principal, who had been invited to discuss from their point of view, the necessity for improvement of Chicago by subtle and apparently harmless means, the gern of southern racial prejudice by grouping of the Aro-American pupils in the social classes, was, perhaps, the first of its kind held in Chicago, and claimed among its eager and heterogeneous audience, of Chicago's best citizens of both races. Mrs. Barnett Asks for Quiet. Mrs. Ida Vells Barnett presided, and in her short and brief remarks before the introductions of the speakers, cautioned her audience to be calm, and to receive whatever message or explanation the speakers might bring to her. She also further stated that the question was one of grave concern to the race and should be by the best thought the race and its friends possessed. The first speaker was Mrs. Smith, the wife of the speaker. Her address, from an educational point of view was pregnant with some splendid rhetorical and diplomatic phrases, calculated to deceive and lull the people themselves dead. The circumstances done augmenting the system ims was harmless, but done the race a great She discussed at length the school system of division and class grouping in which there was not any attempt made at segregation, and also stated that segregation in the school activities was not permitted, except in the case of a special one week, and that at these affairs the Caucasian and the Afro-American pupils were invited on different days, for the reason that the Caucasian pupils objected to mixing in socially with the Afro-American, and that the Afro-American would withdraw themselves. While she would answer questions any one might ask, she preferred that there would be no discussion on her speech until one week from that day, so that the audience might have time to consider serious questions, and said, and to reach a conclusion away from the excitement of the hour. Dr. McDowell Would Spent $1,000. At the conclusion of the speech Dr. McDowell was introduced and made impassioned talk, and said that he the father of a pupil attending the school would spend $1,000 to enjoy the oil from further social segregation t persisted, after which the princi- Prof. Pyrene, was introduced and probed all that Mrs. Smith had said, and as not the purpose of the faculty je Wendell Phillips High School dismine against any one, and at the system objected to was not of discrimination or segregation, but no part of the educational fatties, but were purely a social mat- in the faculty was endeav- to make it pleasant for all the lemns. That no one could complain about the school, but them in a social dance or other; that the school was trying to do what was the best for both races. D. F. Moseley Asks Question. It was at this juncture that several questions were asked by various persons in the audience, and finally Lawyer D. F. Moseley asked permission and received it. He then, to ask the speakers, Mrs. Smith and Prof. Pyrene, "If their purpose as educators was to lead and teach so that the world would become better and mankind would become better, and that was the purpose of education, would it not, in their judgment, be better to leave the question of social grouping optionally with the pupils and not to make it a rule of school control, Board, Not, Pupils, Should Rule. After some consideration both speakers answered in the affirmative, and stated that he best. Mr. Moselow, "Why was it not done in that way? The children, if permitted, would adjust the matter without involving the faculty of the school." "Why was it not done in that way? The children, if permitted, would adjust the matter without involving the faculty of the school." "Why was it not done in that way? The recognition given to the whims of parents and pupils silk was the real evil, and if the attendance on social days was enforced like any other, nothing of the school social grouping at the school." After an invitation was extended by the school faculty for a committee of race citizens to visit the school and see for themselves the situation in which the school is conducted. Up to Superintendent Young. In following up this introduction of the domestication and unhawful southern parent of this city, the Chicago Defender finds that there is no need for further discussion of the matter, Mrs. Ella Flaig Young, superintendent of schools, asks the public to be discriminative in the social affairs at Wendell Phillips, or any school, then abolish the social AFPAIMS. The flimsy exposition that has no bearing on the matter at all. The public schools of Chicago are run for the people by a board, with a committee of members, and without others or pupils have anything to do with its management. Watch Your Children. This incident, however, brings out another point involving the parents. The school is sorry for you to receive a special invitation to visit your children at school. The law allows an occasional visit and it will not hurt to keep an eye on offspring, both in and out of school. SAMUEL CARTER'S ' MYSTERIOUS DEATH Found in Elevator Shaft at Midnight Saturday—A Highly Respected Citizen—Inquest Shows Exact Cause of Death Unknown. Mr. Sam Carter, aged 42, 3741 Dearborn street, was found dead in the elevator shaft at the Sportsman's Club, 608 South Michigan avenue, at midnight last Saturday. His body was moved to King & Philly undertaking a memorial service on Tuesday. The coroner reported that death was due to "a fall through a shaft, and electrical shock." Mr. Carter's remains were removed to his house in Lonville, Ky., on Wednesday morning. His death was a shock to those who knew him. He was esteemed. He came to Chicago some years ago from his Lonville home and, like most young men from the South, engaged in work actively, and lived a sober and industrious life. He moved among good people here and at brother, sister and a host of friends to mourn his loss. JOHN H.

Miss Benton was taken to the restoration of character. W. R. SOBERS GIVES SIX-COURSE DINNER W. R.

GAIN IN FIGHT FOR BETTER MOVING NIGHT THEATERS **PICTURE THEATERS** Health Department Makes Progress to Safeguard Public-Brill Restore of Results—The Workshop Canvas. (Press Service, Department of Health). The following brief resume of results associated with the implementation of better conditions in the moving picture theaters of Chicago is of interest as indicating a practical solution one of the most serious of the city's public affecting public health and safety. January 1, 1913, there were 630 theaters in Chicago, but only forty-five of the city's public as far as ventilation is concerned. January 1, 1914, there were 609 theaters and 160 of them compiled with the law. The hands of the department during this period had been litigated. January 1, 1915, total number of theaters was 616; number in operation, though not either complying or meeting the standards to make them comply, seventeen. The next step is to get a sufficient force to insure that the systems are honestly operated. We can consider the theater fight as won and take up the responsibility for the places where the people work and the conditions under which they are transported to and from their work. And at all events the fight for plenty of fresh air for the people will be pushed with all the resources the department has to provide. That is important that every good citizen should be gled to aid in every way in his power. The work canvass recently completed shows a total of 547 cigar shops, of which are licensed and the ban on tobacco license to license. There are 8,305 milinery and tailoring establishments, 4,257 of which are licensed. Of these establishments, 725 have two employees, 725 having two employees, 35 shops having between 20 and 50 employees, 13 having between 500 and 4 having and 4 having over 1,000 employees. Such classes of establishments as the latter depend mainly upon natural ventilation in their workrooms, which is more or less unsatisfactory by reason of the lack of airflow. When the ventilation division has been increased in size sufficient to enable it to reach out for such establishments there is no doubt that changes will be made. The result will materially improve working conditions of those employed there. The year 1914, from the health standpoint was a better year for Chicago than the year 1904 to make the year 1915 one of the best in Chicago's health history. MR.

Many of us, however, do not realise it until it is too late. The time to save money is when you are making it too invariably this will come that promised rainy day, day when you will be in dire need of it. Chicagoans have learned the lesson well, as is evidenced by the great number of homes owned by them, and yet it is often the twenty years ago the colored people owned a piece of property here and there in the city, but today we number them by the hundreds, and all of this came about through the easy system owned by them, and they are deeply why so many continue to pay high rentals when this money can be applied on a home. It is much better to take time by the forelock and start today and be a home owner. The plan is a place where you can make your rent money buy a home. See their ad on the last page of this issue.

LEWIS, Manager The bill the first half was one of the best seen here in a long time, and was opened by Larkin & Burns, a pair great entertainments companies, with some very sharp who were second on the program, furnished some clean-cut comedy, and Little Lord Roberts, who is about twenty-four inches tall, and who who was the smallest actress world, proved to be a most entertaining feature. The team of Massalinge & Crosby, who made their initial appa- tions in the 1950s, lifted a hit, Miss Crosey putting her numbers over in good style, while Massalinge's comedy was droll, but good. Their brass-band finish was a great success, and down the other they were the best team soon here in weeks. The Aerial Lloyds, a quartet of athletes, did some semanual casting, and in every department was satisfactory in every department. Revolving Collins, who did clever stunts on roller skates, was here during the last half last week, and was joined in a rural comedy act that just barely got by. The most elaborate act seen here for months was the "Land of Make Believe," which carved out a niche for musical numbers were sil written for the act. The costumes were gorgeous, and aside from the weakness of certain members of the youngsters, the costumes were perfect. De Koven Thompson, Cooper & Thompson, did well in their familiar cabaret turn, but could improve by eliminating their efforts at comedy, and dancing gracefully in dancing grizzly bear, closed the bill. Old Monogram. A new policy was inaugurated at the theater this week. They are now beginning to play 5:30 p. m. with five reels of movies, Charge, a nickel a head. Six heads were counted at the first "matinee." The Wilson trio are doing well here, as they are playing clever single, peat and & hayes are a good singing, teat and dancing team, and U. S. Thompson, the mono-channel gets a lot of well earned aplause. New Monogram. Montgomery & McLain had a "run in" with "Czar" Klein about sharing dressing room with a cheap white shirt and a black tie to the first show, and refused to go in. Kelly & Davis, favorites on this time, replaced them, and went well. Lincoln Henderson, who is now doing a master's degree in dialect work, is clever, and should be kept busy on this showing. The James sisters, of our own, are repeating their former successes, and the bill makes the fay team, "The Electricie." The Phoenix. Three were plenty of action and excitement in the movies presented here during the week. The feature attractions were "Broncho Billy and the Chipmunks," "The Five Nights of the Seven Chests," Alice Joyce in "The Price of Silence," "Sunshine and Shadows," Evelyn Thaw in "Threads of Destiny," and "Where Honor Hones to the Fight," which brings Thomas Ross in "The Fortune Parties," a great drama in six parts. The Lincoln. The features seen at this popular house this week included "The City of Darkness," No. 8 of "The Master of Fortunes of War," and the great moral drama, "In Fear of His Past." One of the features booked for Sunday is "The Passing of Two-Gun"—a story of the wild and wooy life. The Washington. "The Dereclict," one of the strongest scenarios ever written, was shown here on Monday, and was followed during the week by Francis X. Bushman in "The Shanty of Trembling Hill." "In the Latin Quarter," featuring Edith Storey, "The Injugators the Strange Case of Pandora," and "Night Night," "The Magnate of Paradise," and "Strongheart," a three reel Indian drama will be shown here on Sunday. The States Big business has been the rule here all during the week. "Zudora, No. 8," Pearl White in "The Exploits of Zine," and William Farnum, of "polls' fame, in Henry Bernatein's play, play, Damson," the feature play, "Damson" down were "Runaway June," 1 and 2, at a coupon matinee on Wednesday, and "The Beat of the Year." Sunday-brings Beatrix Michalena in "Mignon," one of the Feature Film Co.'s best productions. "The Beat of the Year," in "Wild Fire," and the "Chocolate Soldier," are among the bookings to be seen here soon. Off to the Coast. Jerry Miles left for La Grande, Oregon, on Tuesday, where he will stage a performance, and will probably remain with the company for a few weeks. ```markdown ``` The Fountain.

Thursday evening, Feb. 4, has been assured by her manager that all the Federated Globs of the city, the Circles of the King's Daughters, the Forty and Ipsion Ship Keeper, will attend her funeral. The fact that Mr. Herman Devries, the world's noted pianist and teacher, will accompany her is a formal honor. Miss Roberts assisted Mr. Kemper Harraald on Dec. 4, 1911, the Nashville Globe said: "Miss Roberts has a pure lyric voice and giving her art to those dedicated to her beautiful voice, she is resilient." In 1907 at Nashville, Tenn., when Miss Roberts was the solist in the "Prodigial Son," the Globe said: "The solists were a Miss Mauid Roberts, the soprano singers in the city, and indeed on Friday night she sustained this reputation and with a clear, sweet, musical voice that was well-controlled, she rendered "her continuous phrase in each appearance." While at Walden University she was called the "Prima Donna" of the university. She recently appeared at the city in this recital given by the Umbrian Ghe Club at Quinn Chapel. M. C. Coehlan II, who will assist Roberts, is a Chicago, born and reared, and is just 21 years of age. She is a member of the Department of Fisk University, and is now studying in the Oberlin Conservatory.

Old Pension Plan. They had a roundabout way of bestowing military pensions in the old days, but it stresses this official community's relegation to the reign of Queen Anne. Her majesty, it runs, has been pleased to grant Fitton Minsbilt, a child, a commission to the service of his loss of his father, who died in the service. And Fitton was at the same time granted farmlough until further notice, and being regularly to his mother. Explain ing "Memory" When you speak of others as having a good memory, you do not mean that at all. Instead of meaning that the man with a "good memory" has accurately perceived an event in the full ramifications of all its details, and recorded it in his whole human texture ready for reproduction at will, he has good memory, and has good power of retention, irrespective of detailed accuracy or faithfulness of the full recollection—Dr Leonard Keene Hirschberg. Airtight Rubber Cork. A stopper for bottles that is especially valuable for travelers consists of a solid rubber cork that goes down into the neck of the bottle, and a circular collar of soft rubber rising from the top of the cork. When the cork is driven home this cork is turned into a rubber seal, which it makes water-dry and straight. The solid cork and the flexible collar are all in one piece. Various Views of the Snow The farmer calls the snow the poor man's fertilizer. It keeps the ground warm and puts dollars—prospectively in his vacant pocket. It is much more expensive than every color except white when they cut to paint it. Their favorite tints for this purpose are pink, purple and a slaty blue. It seems to be the chief color. It seems to inform us courteously but firmly, that our eyes are lars.—Exchange Workman's Asset A workman owes it to himself and his family to take care of himself. He is not a lawyer. When injured, he is for the time being a bankrupt. If killed, his family may be left destitute and his children deprived of an education and forced to work in the street. This philosophy is found in a bulletin of the Chicago bureau of safety. Why Paper Affords Warmth. The value of paper as a protector from cold is due, of course, to its being such a poor conductor of heat, a quality which increases rapidly as layer is added to layer. The best kind, for this purpose, is fortunately that which is made of paper, or even that can be had for the asking, or even for the taking.

MAN WILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH FAMILY IN FUTURE. New Jersey Man Had Decided Unpleasant Experience as a Result of His Carolelessness as a Correspondent. Patrick J. McMahon of Purse, N.J., walked recently into a saloon he had conducted in that city and was served with a drink by his son, who was that McMahon, Sr., and disappeared from home eight years before and had been given up as dead. He asked his son a number of questions about his disappearance and the family pedigree, and were answered without the son's realizing he was being quizzed by a man who knew the answers to the questions. He did the old When McMahon, Sr., revealed the story to the son felt sheepish for a week. James Osher of Trenton, N.J., had an odd reappearance a few months ago. He went to Australia to look up the story of his estate in which he thought he should share. While he was in Methoune he noticed in one of the daily papers an account of the death of a James who had come on from the United States. The similarity of the name struck him, of course, and he mailed a copy of the paper with the item marked. He was never much of a letter writer, but he let five months go by, without a letter. He was unable to say until he should know whether or not his quest had been successful. Finally after nearly eight months sojourn in Australia he arranged to start work, and wrote to his family. He found that his little wall paper insulted had been sold out and that his wife and daughter had removed, nobody seemed to know whither. Just a clue soon came to view. He struck against his account and it was returned with the "no funds" comment. An investigation revealed that every cent he in the bank had been withdrawn by his wife, had been power of attorney during his marriage, and however, were able to give him the address of a Chicago bank where they thought from something dropped by his wife she would deposit her money, the telegraph and received word to him that he should, and found his wife and daughter. They had received the Melbourne paper, had cabled and had got no response, and finally believed the response from the daughter's hand urged their removal to O Chicago and they had sorrowfully left their home in Trenton. While they were hugging and staring at each other, the daughter's letter announcing his departure from Australia. It had been forwarded from Trenton. Now Osborn says that a num should write at least once if he wants to say "no" if it only to say O and good-by. At the Battle Front. British soldiers on the march have taken a hint from their French brothers in arms, and among many thousands seen lazily up-country in France, a man had a long loaf of bread strapped to his chest. At many places bakers have had big contracts, but the soldier buys the bread for himself as well, and so long as he can get a great loaf he does not how long he is in the train or on the road. He is a trouble, and cigarettes, coming in duty free, are now quite pleasurable. Ration to laceoop, too, is taken up by the officers as being the best obtainable for pipe smoking. Incidentally, it is hard to tell who were known to be confirmed cigarette smokers have taken to the more formal form of smoking, but a half-grown mustache is just as old a sight as to see them sucking at a brite cigarette. They organize the campaigner as compared with the "naut" of a few weeks ago. Heir to Forty Millions. The caravich, the future ruler of all the Russians, has been described as the most valuable child in the world. When he succeeds to the throne he will inherit all the huge fortune of the manouffi family, which is estimated at over forty million pounds. In addition to the forty million of the Russian people, he will enjoy an income of £2,000,000 a year, and have the absolute control of 500 estates employing 30,000 servants. At present the child is the recipient of an allowance of £15,000 a year, a bearing account having been opened for him in his birth, when, incidentally, his life was insured for half a million pounds. Holding Back the Hudson. "One of the greatest single pieces of sofferman work over undertaken in this country," says popular Mechanics Magazine, "is now in the course of concluding the building, where the Hudson river is being prepared preliminary to the building of three 1,050-foot steamship piers for the accommodation of the largest liners of the river, extended between Fort-四orth and the street to hold back the river, inclose the shore line, and allow excavations to be made, and the piers built. When will be approximately 800 feet long and about five hundred thousand dollars." Armenian Vocabularies Prenzylum has bothered up exceedingly: but it is far from being the last of the tongue twisters that will be beated by the war. As a bit of training in the language, it is saying, "Screw prst skrz krz." This is saying, "Screw prst skrz krz" which less shibboleth of the Boholian language, and it means: "Put your thumb down your throat." or a course of Armenian might be recommended. Specimens are "shamkari," true; "pzhishk," shamkari; "dengo," true; "kinder," shamkari; "sghilh," girl, and "dengohl," parents—London Chronicle. Reserving Crown of Rationals Deserving Crown of Patience. The crown of patience cannot be received in a home name has here, so suffering. If then refuses to suffer, then offsetest to be crowned; but if thou wisest to be crowned, thou must fight nantily and suffer patient.

Springfield, Ill., Jan. 22. Our state legislature is yet in a deadlock. Dr. E. Sipringg of New York City was asked to answer the most telling speeches on the request. His theme, "The New Abolition," is unique. Never before have the people of this city had so rare a first public spoke at 2:30 p. m. at the First M. Church, a large and appreciative crowd at the Culture Club. At $ p. p. he addressed a crowded house at St. Paul A. M. Church. Such talks, the most important and undeniable, should be an inspiration and encouragement not only every colored person, but to everyone. He stands the constitution undeterred and unqualified and amended. He is a rare logician and a philosopher. He is a world. He would give the Afro-American every right enjoyed by any other American citizen, and he believes that those rights are worth fighting for. Charles Sumner, John Brown and Lovett.

Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 22.—The immanuel proclamation was daily observed in the beginning of the new year by the people of Pasadena at the First A. M. E. Church, Vernon and the church was provided with not only Pasadena, but with people from Los Angeles and nearby towns, bent on commemorating the most important event in their history. Among the prominent visitors present were R. P. Mcelfe, commissioner of Pasadena's public affairs; a large group of G. A. R.'s in residence; and Rev. N. P. Gregg, pastor of the First A. M. E. Church, Los Angeles, who made the address of the evening. After an appropriate program, consisting of music by the G. A. R. drum corps, an original poem was read by Lee, and introductory remarks made to the arrangement committee, S. B. Carr, Rev. Mr. Gregg said in part. Emergencies Always Met. "For every emergency God has always prepared a hero," he said. He had a David, with sings and polishes, ready to come forth at the psychological moment to fight the battles of humanity. So at the very moment that the Dutch slave vessel touched her moorings the God of Hosts began the preparation of a counter-influence, so arranged and as to rise at the period of His initial intervention. "Abraham Lincoln, the David of modern times, like Moses, hidden for a while in obscurity, waited for the crisis which should call him forth. So humble was his birth and childhood that the country did not know that a saint had been born. When in 1858 he witnessed the excitement when the hearts of the church were fearful and the cause of righteousness were fearful, a leader, strong, true and courageous, then it was that this chosen man of God stood forth. Lincoln's Fairness "It was given to Abraham Lincoln," continued the speaker, "to preserve the Union, to deal justly with all parties in the bitter controversy, to do the manly thing in the interest of justice and humanity." No executive of the United States had the state of affairs or attempted the solution of so complicated a problem. Rev. Gregg then asked if the individual man had proven himself worthy of the great price at which his liberty was purchased. "Even today," he answered his audience, "the question is being asked. Has the man of African descent measured up to the expectation of being asked, as no able to imbibe the civilization, of his age and make good as a citizen of the government that made him free?" Race Progress Recited He then told of the progress that the race has made in the various walks of life since receiving its freedom. The Afro-American has reduced his Literacy to 30 per cent; the 700 teachers of 1867 have been increased to the present time; from the of the first school houses, he old his hearers, the freedman contributed Liberally, notwithstanding his poverty, to their support, giving as his children for the college of his children during the first four years of his freedom, a sum he has subsequently increased to a million, which he now gives annually for educational purposes. In speaking of the various activities of the freedman the Rev. Gregg said that there were scarcely any pursuits followed by whites in which there were not to be found some men of the race. As many as 50,000 were in the city, more than 30,000 engaged in business, various kinds; they own as many as 100 insurance companies, 300 drug stores, 25,000 grocery stores and, as farmers, 20,000,000 acres of land; 100,000 of them are working in trades and other occupations requiring skill, and are in the employ of the United States government, the total wealth being estimated at $700,000,000. *Employment, Service, Home.* The emancipation of the slave was also celebrated in Los Angeles at Mount Zion Baptist Church, Third street and Stephen Avenue, the principal address being given by Willis O. Tylery, a local attorney. The emancipation is in hodgepodge of observation annually by in-house observers, and the country on September 22, the date of the preliminary announcement of the emancipation, and on January 1, the time when the proclamation went into effect. These occasions incite a reinterpretation on the part of the people to acknowledge and gratitude to their benefactors and a determination to prove worthy of the ynichship which they have received. The fifthth anniversary of the enclausement proclamation in 1913 was celebrated in a manner long to be remembered by the people of the country. New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania were the only states to $140,000 for expositions to be held in those three states that revealed the progress that the race had made during fifty years of freedom. Schools, churches, societies and other organizations joined in the general celebration, the largest of which was held at Nashville, in connection with the annual convention of the national Bap't convention. Race Praised by Press. The New Orleans Daily States decided four and a half pages of illustrated matter relating to the celebration of the people of Louisiana under the leadership of the General State Fair occasion, and spoke as part of the progress that they had in that state and throughout the re country. the enthusiasm over the ac complishment in half a century of freedom writers of the race have produced creditable works that were printed by standard publishers. The Academy of Political and Social Science devoted one of its issues entirely to "The Negro's Progress in Fifty Years." Eleven of the twenty-four contributors were Afro-Americans. Upward of thirty volumes of poetry, history, biography, works dealing with the educational and economical accomplishment have been placed on the market by race authors since the universal celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of our release from bondage. Little Sarah Rector. The wealthiest girl in the United States is a 10-year-old girl, Sarah Recorder, whose income is estimated at $112,000 a year. She is a descendant of a Creek freeman from whom she inherited an allotment of 160 acres of land in Oldham on which was recently drilled an oil well that produces of oil a day, one-eighth of which is drilled in the land. It is said that other walls are about to be drilled on her land which will greatly increase her income. Mrs. C. J. Walker's Success Among the women who are carrying on successful business activities and gradually becoming wealthy is Mrs. C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., a dealer in hair goods, whose business, primarily incorporated is said to yield a net income of $1 million in estate holdings, situated in two or three eastern cities, and in Los Angeles as well, are also valuable. Mrs. Walker gives bountiful to charity, dispensing fuel, food and clothing to the needy, as well as contributing to the institutions as Sedalia College, North Carolina, and Tuskegee College, Alabama. Two Leave Millions. The heirs of the recently deceased Robert E. Church of Memphis, Tenn., and Colonel John McKeen of Philadelphia, Pa., both builders of their own fortunes, have been made millionaires, the former having left property valued at $2,000,000 and the latter holdings worth more than a million. Watt Terry Large Taxpayer. Watt Terry Large taxpayer. Watt Terry of Brockton, Mass., a Brockton times officer according to the Brockton times is a large, largest individual taxpayer, his assessment exceeded only by that of George Keith, managing director of the Walk-Over Shoe Company, and Ex Governor W. L. Douglas, head of the L. Douglas Shoe Company. Mr. Terry of Brockton is a 5,450-unit ination in real estate. He pays $10,166.14 on forty-six parcels of real estate and on personal property. Biggest Real Estate Deal. Morrisville, N. J., reports the fact that "the biggest real estate deal ever consummated there was closed last week in which John W. Lewis, Jr., the real estate broker and builder, figured. In one of the deals Mr. Lewis sold and contracted to build twelve houses which represent $22,000. The other deal represents $21,000 for ten houses sold. Mr. Lewis has plans for the erection of thirty new houses." The weekly payroll of a firm of William Brothers of Birmingham, Ala., has annual contracts average $300,000 a year. They give steady employment to more than 100 men. Educational Alliance. For the past two years or more progressive men, knowing the power in organization, have been grouping themselves together for the purpose of civic betterment. The movement started in New Orleans, La., with the Colored Educational Alliance, organized with the aim of improving the school conditions in that city. Committees on poll tax, evening schools, elementary schools, high schools and school buildings were provided for. The investment structure, Monroe N. Work, the office of Louisville, Ky., organized an outlook committee whose purposes are as follows: Plan of Outlook Committee: First—To discourage the evils existing in Louisville that make special prey upon our people—chill parlors, loan sharks, cheap剧院, dance halls connected with saloons, etc. Second—To secure, as far as possible, civic benefits, such as cleaner and school equipment, better hospital facilities and playgrounds for our children. Third—To improve housing, sanitary and neighborhood conditions. Fourth—To improve industrial conditions, increase opportunities for our laborers, and stimulate mutual patronage. Fifth—To encourage thrift, economy and home buying, in order to develop a better respected citizenship. Sixth—To bring about a mutual cooperation in any deserving undertaking. Seventh—To cooperate with like communities in other cities in the attempt to improve the general status of the race in the United States. The Negro Organization Society of Virginia, according to the above mentioned authority, has federated with all the organizations in that state for better schools, better health, better education. During the last year this society has inspired the building of five graded schoolhouses, assisted in raising money for six other graded schoolhouses, aroused the interest of white and black people in sanitary schools, homes and churches. Through its executive secretary, Professor J. M. Gay of Petersburg, Va, school improvement leagues have been organized for the purpose of improving the conditions of rural schools, extending school terms and raising money for general purposes. National Teachers' Association. The National Association of Colored Teachers holds its sessions annually, in which are gathered the majority of leaders in education. Some of the subjects that have been discussed are: "Keeping a Higher Standard"; "Keeping in Touch With Community Life"; "The College and the Ministry"; "The Training of Teachers"; and "Improving the Special Surroundings of the Schoolhouse." The third annual session of the conference of land grant colleges was held a few months ago at Washington, D. C. Ten states were represented at REV. N. P. GREGG who spoke at Emancipation Day Celebration. [Portrait of a man with a mustache and glasses, wearing a dark suit with decorative patterns. The background is white with ornamental designs.]] this conference, which is held in connection with and is an adjunct of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations. Among the subjects discussed were: "Duties of the Negro Land Grant College and the Equity"; "Duties of the Negro Land Grant College to the Government and States"; "Place of Agriculture in Our System of Education"; "What Has Your School Done in the Lost Year to Better Agricultural Conditions"? Summer schools for ministers, under the auspices of the Colored Nashville institute and teachers' institutes are held annually in the majority of eastern cities. In the Lone Star State. The coming Afro-American, whose progress at the present time outlives the efforts of his brother in other states, is said to be a resident of Texas. According to a wideawake observer, the resident of the Lone Star state is forging ahead with remarkable rapidity. In Houston, Texas, a town of 130,000 inhabitants, 30,000 of whom are members of the race, we find the latter owning and operating fine groceries, butcher shops, cafes, drygoods stores, undertaking establishments, insurance companies, newspapers and enterprises, foremost among whom are B. L. drews and J. B. Bell. The former, a wholesale and retail grocery, has the monopoly of Houston's sweet potato trade, buying this vegetable and all his stock by the carload, thereby prepared to sell at the lowest possible rates, and for this reason patronized above the majority of Houston grocers. The latter, J. B. Bell, a real estate dealer, started his career a few years ago with a borrowed capital of $150. His real estate holdings at the present time yield him a monthly income of $600. The total property valuation of the Houstonians is estimated at $150,000. He have invested $150,000 in business enterprises and have at present deposited to their credit in the local banks the sum of $500,000. Side by side with their commercial accomplishment they have been progressing professionally, there being as many as seven pharmacists, six dentists, fourteen doctors and eighty-five others. In Austin, the capital of Texas, a city whose Afro-American population numbers not more than 11,000, the race is also making good, the majority of whom own their own homes, their possessions in real estate amounting to $300,000. Their business men have invested $25,000 in such enchanted furniture, printing, furniture stores, carpentry and stone contracting, transfer business, grocery stores and truck gardening. The people of Dallas, Texas, own property that is valued at $600,000. Throughout the entire state can be progressive men and women bent on making records worthy of admiration. WILLIAMS SINGERS ON SOUTHERN TOUR Continued from page 1. much. In the "Bridal Chorus," "I Want to Be Ready," they about reached their height of this kind of work. The Sextette from Lucia was a credited performer, lighted the audience. The solos were fine and made a decided impression. Mrs. Merrill in "My Heart at Thy Dear Voice" was a positive success. Her voice since last heard here showed some remarkable growth. It is more voluminous and dramatic. Mr. Johnston, tenor, has a pure, sweet, lyric voice, able to meet full demands of the tenor scope. The basso, Mr. Crabb, has a deep, full voice, which she used to captivate the audience with the consumate skill with which she used her beautiful voice. Mrs. Williams won every heart. Her luscious contralto, her naive bearing, her impersonations were superb. Her solo "Just Because I'm Black," brought tears to some eyes that night. Mr. Johnston, baritone, and Mr. Williams, tenor, were indispensable, as was Mrs. Johnston, the efficient accompanist. next week they will be in Texas; at New Orleans, La., Jan. 28; Jackson, Miss. Jan. 29; Meridian, Miss. Jan. 9; St. Louis,burg, Miss. Jan. 31; Tulsa, Okla., Jan. 28; Montgomery, Alabama and will be at Montgomery, Feb. 8 and at Birmingham Feb. 9. Achieving Importance "Some men," said Ungle Eben, "gets to be looked on as important because dey has to be hollered at all de time foh gihit' in de way." American Cheese Liked American cheese is regarded by connoisseurs as equal to the imported. The states of New York and Wisconsin lead in cheese producing. From these states each year a large quantity of this dairy product is shipped to Central and South America, as well as to Europe. Hard Command to Obey.

THOMPSON Washington, D. C., Jan. 22—The immigration bill has gone to the President for his consideration. On Friday he is to hold a hearing on the bill, after which he will act according to his best judgment. It is pretty generally believed he will veto the bill, but the hostility to the "literacy" clause in it. The provision to exclude persons of African descent, etc., has been completely wiped out.

Alice Ramsay, who has been going fierely at the Howard, song "Rock Me in the Cradle of Love" Sunday night by request. ~She is not using this number in her present act. Her partner, Charles Nickerson, is a pianist and composer of note, and his original songs, accompanied by himself, stroped the show every night. He is the pianist of Miss Ramsay, and his quaint comedy is the best for her dainty shinging feature, neat dialogue and fetching gowns. Miss Ramsay's gowns are the last word in the modiste art, and are perfectly proper. There is absolutely no ground for the clumsy reflections of one or two critics in the West on the statusque lady's wardrobe. An airbnb on 5th street is talked of. At the local playhouses this week.

The Martin and Motley Stock Company, which played so long at Dudley's, put in three weeks at the Forkaker and then closed, to go to Roanoke, Va. for a run. The company now includes Edgar Martin, Henry Jones and Minstrel Morris, and Misses Rosa Motley, Alice Russell and Rosetta Shanks. The company gave a special performance on Thursday at Samarian Hall in South Washington. It is under the general direction of S. H. Dudley's booking enterprise. S. H. Dudley came into town last Saturday night, accompanied by William Hodgkins and the mule, Patrick. On Sunday Mr. Dudley assembled all of the artists in the city working un- LOUIS B.

It only took a short while to be convinced that Mr. Anderson stood 100 per cent as to ability and fitness, on account of his long services in the public acquaintance with the men of affairs in the city hall, his substantial financial condition, and his excellent ability as an orator and lawyer. It was a harder proposition when it It was a harder proposition when it came to polling the votes. The other two candidates have a good following. I came across more Anderson votes than the other two combined. It may have been because they thought I was for him. I canvassed the Appomattox Club and found 55 per cent for Mr. Anderson. Those living outside the ward claim in the ward influence one or more votes in the election, but only unless he gets all the votes. Some voters say that they started with one man or the other, and do not want to lose his expense money. They will lose anyway if they all run. If they quit their friends will be glad to be relieved, and an effort would be made to make good expenses. Putting it squarely to the voters, if they were to vote for me or wilt or forewarned or commonsense whichever to vote for the best man; then you will have a representative in the council; if you do not, do not come whining about the Afro-American not having a fair show. BROTHER DIES. Mr. Edgar Murray, the express and van man, at 3155 State street, left for Canada Thursday night, upon receipt of a telegram announcing the death of a brother. Carpet Knights. "Carpet knights," quot a writer once in the long ago, "are such as have studied law, physic, or other arts or sciences, whereby they have become famous, and seeing that they are not knighted as soldiers, they are not therefore to serve on the horseman's title or spurs; they are only held miles and milts, knight's, or knights of the carpentry, or 'knights of the green cloth,' to distinguish them from those knights that are dubbed as soldiers in the field." Beautiful Unseen World There is a vell covering the unseen world which not the strongest man nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, romance, and push aside that, curiously, the most beautiful and most beautiful and wonder beyond.—Frank P. Church, in New York Sun. Where Loyalty Counts Loyalty to one's employer is the first lesson that should be taught to the aspirant for a place in the business world, says a circular sent out by the efficiency bureau of the New York university. The reason given is that loyalty means success to the employer and resultant prosperity to the employee. Look Ahead! The present moment is the worst; the lenient hand of Time is daily and hourly either lightening the burden, or making us insensitive to the weight—Robert Burns. EDGAR MURRAY'S Carpet Knights. Look Ahead! der his direction, at his offices on 7th street, and gave them a practical "show talk" or lecture, lasting a full hour. He placed particular emphasis upon three or four points, with a view of helping the artists and boosting the players, generally. He warned the players, and was taken to temporary engagements; told how reprehensible it is to steal a fellow practitioner's jokes and songs; urged teams of promise to stick together long enough to make a reputation and other timely things. Frank A. Byron of Chicago, and Frank M. McCracken, of St. Paul, put in some strong hacks against the African exclusion clause of the immigration bill. Alice Russell, of Baltimore, who has had experience in "The Smart Set" and other big road shows, is a new member of the Martin and Motley Stock Company. She is a sister to Miss Blanche Thompson, the prima donna and their resemblance is so brilliant one can scarcely tell "which is which." Miss Russell is a clever artist. Mrs. Daisy Henson, chief of the local division of the Daughter Elks, entertained in hospitable fashion Saturday night at her cosy home, 645 Florida avenue. The menu was toothsome and the charming hostess was the singer, and the musicians by the dancers. Among those present were Susie Sutton, Miss Maud C. Johnson, Miss Daisy Martin, W. P. Mason, W. C. Jordan, Alex. Henson, I. Edward Wilson and R. W. Thompson, the latter acting as toastmaster. Mr. A. E. Manning, editor of the Indianapolis World, spent a few days in the city last week and called up a number of friends in the departments and at the day he was the dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson at their apartments, 1506% S street, northwest. Mr. Manning is exceedingly close to the present national administration and has been mentioned very favorably for Recorder of Deeds and Register of the Treasury.

Not that was not the kind of news the people rebel, but those eight silent funerals after dark has brought peace and quiet in and around Fairplay, N. C., and taught the race the wholesome lesson, if you must die, die fighting. The Brave Charles Girls. In the more recent outrage at Monticello, Ga., it has not been recorded that while Ella and Eilea Charles were being dragged from the jail to the pine tree that was to be their scaffold, that they would rather die a thousand times than be beaten and hasted children. It has not been reported that while these two defenseless women stood with hemp ropes around their necks and while the friends taunted them in unspeakable language, that they courageously told them of their faults and had their knocked down their throat as a result. Now Is the Time Horrible as are these details, they are but one-half of the terrible scenes that are enacted when a Southern mob of Southern white men run amuck, with no law to hinder. Without protection, the ultimate salvation lies in the South lies in their own strength. The time is here when the able-bodied man should not stand for insult and inhuman treatment; he knows he talks back his life will be the forfeit, but have the satisfaction that "If you must die, take at least one with you."

So far as the white man is concerned it is with most of them, and not prejudice. And here is a statement which we dislike cold fact, that is this: If the white people of this country had not and did not the Negro than would be in order for the Negro than would be in order for the Negroes. To yield nine cases out of every ten the thing that each other is having Negroes toward each other is having Negroes towards each other. Many Negroes will treat you as an unusually strong person they will almost hate your own race, and the more you do for them the worse they will treat "We can do much more for our own lives by overcoming our defects as fast as we can, by making us more and more every honorable way that we can, and by creating this auspicious environment of other white men indiscriminately. Abuse is a rather poor practice that benefits no one anyway." The newspaper's reporting newspapers must admit that the race that we represent suffers discrimination and all sorts of abuse from the white man and to keep silent is to condone his unjust and unlawful treatment of the only race of people that has never bred an anarchist or a traitor. Of all mankind the editor must not show the white feather in these crucial times. To Wash Windows To wash windows quickly: Take a chamois skin, dipped in warm water, to wash windows. Then wring the same chamois skin dry as possible, and after wiping the window again you will have a finely polished glass, without the use of numerous cloths to do the work. "A Hungry Eye Sleeps Not." The old adage, "A hungry eye sleeps not," is a very truthful one, and many a sufferer from insomnia would be cured of the complaint if he drank a cup of hot milk, with a little nutmeg grated on top and sweetened, if desired.

We as a people are especially grateful to them for their spontaneous appeals to the thinking people in our behalf, at this time when one after another humiliating and degrading bill is presented at our seat of government for passage. The influence wielded by this newspaper is nothing short of marvelous and their friendly attitude has smoothed out wrinkles and brushed aside many thorns in our path of power. Under the captain "A Useless Law," they have this to the intermarriage bill now pending: "There is a ban law which prohibits the intermarriage of blacks unconquerable sentiment. Then why give it the pressure of legal enactment? Why make it a matter the law recognizes a distinction between citizens of I record when it is not needed. We know that when certain inhibitions are encountered the oratorical principles of this land of freedom sail unheeded, and in the case of intermarriage between blacks and whites we would not have it otherwise, but they by enactment of Congress impose the thought upon the inferior race that it is inferior? Surely it is not to prevent the marriages which come within the contemplation of this proposed act. There is a mightier force than an act of Congress which bars them. The sentiment exists and will exist and cannot be altered in any conditions conceivable to the present generation of Americans. They would not have it altered and it will not be altered. But why proceed to the folly of setting up race distinctions between citizens by law and making inferiority a matter of statute? It is like putting the heel of the law upon the face of a part of the nation. If law were the only thing that could stand between the marriage of whites and blacks then we'd say pass the law, but when such a statute merely says to a part of the nation that it is hopelessly inferior then we say that such a statement is unwise and vicious." The "intent" well taken but the editor did not go far enough. Misgege- when you come right down to the point, are not passed protect the white men or the colored women, but wholly and way to keep the superior white women from making a misstep. Are these become so irresponsible that they must be cared for babies? Have they no mind or will power of their own? Has colored man charms that the white man does not possess? Are a afraid of their own weaknesses? It would seem that such bills may tend to depreciate the intelligence and honor of the American white woman. It must not be overlooked that it takes two to make margain. The black man could not possibly force himself upon young woman, white or black, there must be a mutual understanding. the white man to the contrary considers every colored woman his giltimate prey. With such a law there is no redress for the unfortunate colored woman. "There is a nightier force than an act of Congress' barring the marriage of the two races, and that force is just as strong in the colored man's breast as it is in the white man's breast. We do not seek or especially approve of intermarriage, but we do oppose any law prohibiting those who do approve of it from marrying whomever they choose. It is unfair, unjust and unAmerican.

What creature is more despised than a miser or a person who lives for self alone? It matters not how poor and miserable we are we need but look around a bit to find someone less fortunate. In Chicago as in other cities, there is a class of women known as the "smart set" who, while away their valuable time playing bridge whist or some other card game and incidentally resolve themselves into a gossip club. Pink teas, matinee dances, theater and automobile parties are also popular, anything in the line of amusement finds favor in the eyes of these dictators of fashion. Most of these women are in comfortable circumstances, those that are not strain every nerve and make every sacrifice to keep in the swim; veritable strainers, as it were. If it has ever dawned on these dear ladies that they might put their time, energy and money to better use, they have never given evidence of it. How much better it would be to turn a pleasure club into a philanthropic club; have sewing bees instead of dancing classes; take a basket of foodstuffs to a poor family instead of spreading an elaborate luncheon for people already surfeited with good things. Visit the homes of the poor and destitute; have a committee to find the blind among us and read to them, and do something substantial and tangible for their relief—in other words, drop the ethereal things and get down to mother earth, drop to others as you would have them do unto you. There is joy in giving, there is an unexplainable satisfaction in doing a kind deed. Fortune that is smiling or you today may frown on you tomorrow, who knows?

INSANITY AND CRIME among members of the race are increasing at an alarming rate, due to our inability to stand the strain which increased responsibility and change in habits of life since slavery days brought up. us. So says the learned Charles Burr in a paper on "Insanity in Negroes," read before the Philadelphia Psychiatric Society. Charles may have made a careful study of a few of us and found, as he asserts, "rooms to let" in our upper stories, but we are not all that way, far be it from such. Burt Williams, the incomparable comedian, admits in one of his songs, "I may be crazy, but I ain't no fool," and perhaps the rest of us can join in on the chorus. It would seem from a white man's point of view—and an intelligent colored man's point of view, too, for that matter—that there is something radically wrong in our makeup that permits us to swallow without a death struggle the uppled injustices that are daily forced upon us. True we are in the minority, but ten per cent is no inconsiderable portion if that ten per cent had the right sort of backbone. Too often we simmer things down to just how they will affect us individually and what will happen to us if we take this or that stand for the right. The broad view—what is best for the masses—is lost in self. Nothing is gained without a tremendous sacrifice and we must realize that we are right up against a real fight. The enemy is close on our heels and is using every means, fair or foul, to crush us. Are we to sit idly by with hands folded and say it doesn't concern me, it is the other fellow's fight. It is no wonder the eminent Mr. Burr intimates that most of us are crazy; we are on the verge of it, due to the load we are compelled to carry, but there is a way of lightening that load and we have commenced to take advantage of it, and being on the firing line let us return volley for volley with a few extra ones for good measure.

An excellent program has been arranged, to which the public is cordially invited and for which there will be no admission fee. No class of men in America are doing more to promote the betterment of the race along all lines than those who will come here at that time in convention. Let Chicago do herself proud in giving them a welcome fitting their splendid achievements, and to maintain our proverbial hospitality to the stranger within our gates. Let us crowd every meeting with our presence and fill to overflowing the spirit of each occasion with unbounded enthusiasm. THE SOUTH IS IN THE SADDLE AND USING HER SPURS During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1914, the state of Illinois paid into the Federal treasury in corporation and individual income taxes the sum of $5,228,000, while the combined amount paid by the states of Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama was only $3,131,100. The total appropriation for Illinois in the river and harbor bill amounts to $734,000, while the appropriation for the states above enumerated amounts to $7,467,150, exclusive of the money given the Mississippi river, which borders a number of them.—From The Tribune, Jan. 20, 1915. Our contemporary, The Tribune, did not add in the salaries of senators, representatives and all the RED NECK janitors that have been appointed recently. WHITE AND COLORED CHURCHES UPHOLD LYNCHING. THE QUESTION, IS GOD DEAD? almost comes to the mind to every liberty-loving citizen of the state of Illinois when on last Sunday not a church, not a Sunday school and not even a debatable Sunday club mentioned one word about the willful murder of an entire family in the damnable state of Georgia. The entire world is looking to the state of Illinois to drop the bomb of freedom in American civilization in order that all men may be free to move, to work (without the restraining hand of the labor union) and to live in peace at least as other men. The church of Illinois shook hands with Georgia when they refused to condemn the lynching bee. PRESIDENT WILSON will find out that explanations don't explain, and the less he has to say about his Indianapolis speech the better. For further particulars read "Teddy" Roosevelt's article on how to make a speech and get away with it. THE FINEST STREET CARS in the country were put into service on State street recently. The old saying, "There is nothing too good for the Irish" will have to be remodeled, as this line especially is OURS, for have we not christened it the "African Central?" A WHALE clever enough to dodge the mines in the North sea was mistaken for a submarine and shot by the Allies. Everything that has any semblance of life is in danger of being shot by the warring factions. No wonder they say "war is hell." HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN queries, "Have we today a government of the people, for the people, and by the people?" Only those in the "B" class need answer. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS estimate that over five million dollars is spent annually by Americans sightseeing in the old countries, and we venture to say that a goodly portion of the travelers have never seen the wonderfully interesting places right here at home. See America first should be the slogan, then if you have any time and change left visit the other countries. Just at present, however, traveling in the old countries has its drawbacks—they take life too easy even to suit the lazy man. YOU WOULD DO YOUR RACE much more good by infusing books or education into your children's brains instead of trying to infuse the WHITE man's blood into their veins; the day of education is at hand, not color, not hair. TO BE RIGHT IN THE SWIM we should have a candidate in the field for the mayoral race. He might—we say might advisedly—not be elected but he will be in fast company, and this is the age of swiftness. IT ISN'T ALWAYS ADVISABLE to go on the theory that two can live as cheaply as one in these perilous times when coffee and rolls are classed in the luxury list. THERE IS A LAW compelling people to clean the sidewalks in front of their places, but what's the good of a law if it isn't enforced. GREAT NATIONAL HEALTH WEEK To Be Observed from March 21 to 27, 1915. Tuskegee Institute, Alabam, Jan. 16. After considering the whole matter carefully, I am authorized by the executive committee of the National Negro Business League to invite the business organizations, as well as others to be invited into to unite with the League in observing a National Health Week: Daily and weekly newspapers. Health journals. The National Medical Association. The National Association of Graduate Nurses. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. The National League of Urban Conditions Among Nerges. The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. The National Negro Press Association. The bishop and other officers of colo-ored religious-denominations. State medical associations. Annual church conferences and as sociations. Secret society organizations. Colored insurance companies. Farmers' conferences. Farmers' improvement societies. Churches, schools and other local organizations. State health officers. In Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina and other states special Health Days have at one time or another been observed. For some years the Virginia Organization Society, under the leadership of Major R. M. Rotton, has observed a Health, or Clean-Up Week. It is thought to be well to unite all these efforts into a national movement and join this movement to the benefit of the community. It is thought the race will welcome this opportunity to unite all these efforts in one great national health movement, and thus gain the benefit AUTHORS AND BOOKS Review of New Books, Pamphlets and Other Literary Efforts Submitted to The Chicago Defender. The Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute Press) begins a new volume with an interesting number. Henry Roe Cloud, the young Indian graduate of Yale who is devoting his life to his people, concludes his work with an education; and S. M. Brosius, Washington agent of the Indian Rights Association, sets forth in a short paper the wrongs and needs of the Montana Indians in connection with the new irrigation projects. The work being published by Indians by the women $p$ that state is described in an illustrated article. The fourth installment appears in the series of illustrated papers on the Hampton Institute Trade School, and describes the extremely practical nature of the instruction given to its Negro and Indian apprentices. A short chapter full of excellent suggestions gives an account of a New York league recently formed in Montgomery, Ala.; and another contains shrewd, common sense advice by a colored man on "Making Farming Pay." A picturesque and interesting article on Hungarian and Slav music is contributed by Helen Ware, the well known writer. The recent conference in Richmond of the Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education is treated editorially. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Claims Against an Estate. January 18.—Defender's Legal Heirs —A friend of mine died several months ago. An administrator was appointed for his estate and there is a debt due to me from the deceased. How can I collect the same? Answer: You should have your claim against the estate filed in the Probe Court and the same will be allowed by the court and paid by the administrator in the course of administration. Cause for Divorce. January 20th. - Defender's Legal Helps - My husband was convicted of a crime some years ago and since that time we have not lived together as man and wife. Is that sufficient to secure a divorce in this state? Crime for which he was convicted, and unless it was a felony or other infamous crime you would not be entitled to a divorce under the law of this state. To Become a Notary. January. — Chicago, Illinois. — Defender's Legal Helps — I wish to be appointed a notary public. Will you kindly inform me what is necessary to have same accomplished? Answer: You should secure the necessary blanks from any store selling legal blanks, have at least fifty blanks, and have at least ten petition, have the bond signed by sureties and approved by the governor. Send all banks, when properly filled to the secretary of state, Spring- of the momentum and the enthusiasm that will come from a great united health movement. Without health, and until we reduce our high death rate it will be impossible for us to have permanent success in the health care industry requiring education, or to show other evidences of progress. Without health and long life all else fails. The following facts will illustrate something of the need and importance of this health movement: Four hundred and fifty thousand Negroes in all all all all the time; the annual cost of sickness of these 450,000 Negroes is $75,000,000. One hundred and twelve thousand Negro workers in the South alone are sick all the time; their annual loss in earnings is $45,000,000; 45 per cent of deaths among Negroes are preventable. Two hundred and twenty-five thousand Negroes in the South alone die annually; 100,000 of these deaths can be prevented. The annual funeral expense of Negroes in the South alone amount to $15,000,000; $5,500,000 of this amount could be saved. Sickness and death cost Negroes of the South alone $100,000,000 annually; $50,000,000 of this amount could be saved. I must reduce our high death rate, dethrone disease and enthrone health and long life. We may differ on other subjects, but there is no room for difference here. Let us make a strong, long, united pull together. Other facts will appear in the weekly papers and in circulars from week to week, and information will be gladly furnished. BOOKER T.

What About the Jans? The Atlanta Independent tumbles into a common mistake when it says: "There are only two races, the black and the white." But there is a third race, the colored race, recruited from both the black and white races, constituting "the mixed multitude which man can number." -Washington Sun Securing Rights. There is an element of our people, as well as an element of white people, who are continually talking about rights, but do not dwell very much upon duties. Every right carries with it a corresponding duty. This we should never overlook—New York Age. The Kicker. The kicker and faultfinder is in his highest elements when finding fault at what some other person has done; but if you put him on the job his complaints are readily turned into excuses. Where he once found fault he now finds excuses. Such ingrats will impose heavy burdens on others which they will not lift with their little fingers. -Conservative Counselor. Lord. Have Mercy The Unthank Pharmacy has been sold to the "white competitor across the street." While the Ngro enterprise is asking proposition and a good price for its action, yet most of the colored patrons preferred to give their trade to the white firm and the inevitable followed. The two stores will be merged and will be no Negro drug store on Independence avenue—Kansas City Sun. Not the Right Movement Yet. The white people have been starting different kinds of "movements" lately. First there was a "buy a bale" movement, then "buy a barrel" movement, and now there is a "buy it now" movement going on. Why don't they start a "treat the colored people fair" movement? -Indianapolis Ledger. Big Heads It doesn't take a small man or woman very long to get a "big head" or such a head that it becomes necessary to have hats made to order. Then again there are some people in authority who imagine that they own the positions over which they have charge and those who place them in charge. They have no jurisdiction over them but they can take a colored gentleman (2) any longer than it gets a white gentleman (2) to get a "swelled head." The former individual is more bombastic than the latter. The latter is more tyrannical, more especially a poor white man. With but one exception the holdover-white Republicans in office come from a common birth. They can't help from showing their inferiority of birth. The cultured and highly educated white man or woman knows that an inferior person must trude an努力 to force his way where he doesn't belong—The Washington Bee. RENT MONEY You never see again.

Bright's Disease—Acute and Sub- Chronic. Bright's disease is an inflammation of the kidneys. It derives its name from Dr. R. Bright, who many years ago studied, classified, arranged and named the various forms of diseases "Acute Bright's disease" and "Acute Bright's disease" is used. It is meant to convey the impression or idea that there is an acute inflammation of the kidneys. The same is true when we speak of "Chronic Bright's disease" which is chronic inflammation of the kidneys. This disease is a very serious disease. There are two forms of Bright's disease that occur in childhood, adolescence or early adult life, viz: Acute and Sub-Chronic or what may be called "Chronic Parenchymatous" forms of Bright's disease accompany other complications, infectious diseases, for instance, scarlet fever. One of the serious and dangerous complications of scarlet fever is acute Bright's 'disease or acute nephritis. This form may come on during the height of the fever, or in the course of the disease or late in the convalescence from scarlet fever. Then, too, we may have these forms of kidney disease in certain forms of rheumatism, measles, etc., and the use of certain drugs, such as turpentine, carbolic acid, chloride of potash, cantharides, etc., to produce an acute form of Bright's disease. The Capacity for Work of the Kidneys. The kidneys have a great capacity for performing the work of the body. This work of the body can be very satisfactorily performed with only one kidney—even though the kidney may be partly diseased; the kidneys may be partially diseased; the two thirds of each kidney have been entirely removed or diseased—leaving only one third of the right and left kidneys to perform the work of the body. There are cases on record where the functioning of the kidneys is suspended for a period of from $1 to 10 years, or apparent injury to the system. But what we are most interested in is what are the causes that we may avoid them, and thus prevent the contraction of Bright's disease, thereupon prolonging our lives. How are we to know what causes it when it is commencing on us, and what to do if we are so unfortunate as to have this poisonous disease. Causes of Bright's Disease. The causes of Bright's disease are many, but the most lethal are the fishes of the sea or the stars of the firmament. But there are certain fundamental causes that we as men must constantly bear in mind, and avoid as far as possible, because it is a fact that many of the diseases that afflict mankind are due to fish. We men to prevent if he will only study to collect the facts and set about with a definite method to prevent those diseases that so sorely afflict mankind. Among the preventable causes are exposure to cold, scarcitation, diphtheria, tetanus, and other diseases, use of turpentine, carbolic acid and other injurious drugs. During the pe THE EDITOR'S MAIL. From Far Off Africa The Rev. Father Massiah received a letter all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. It was from F. Z. S. Peregrino, secretary of the South African Native Vigilance Association. Mr. Peregrino has kept track of Father Massiah through the pages of the Defender, which he says he considers the most important paper that comes to him. It is a dent from this that our publication is reaching out to the very ends of the earth. Where's the Wheels? Twoyear-old Harry had never seen a live lamb, his only knowledge of animal being derived from a toy one on his father's farm. His father on the farm, he was taken to the sheep pen to see the lambs. After looking at them for a few minutes, he looked up at his grandfather with a smile and asked: "Where's the wheels?"

More males than females have disease of the kidneys, yet, as a general proposition, Bright's disease is no respecter of persons. When it occurs, the fact that more males have Bright's disease than females, because they are more habitually exposed to cold and wet than the females; secondly, that they are more habitually given to the use of alcoholies than females; that they are more exposed to lead poisoning, and that they are more exposed to more prevalent among young adult males than among females; that chronic liver disorders are more prevalent among males than females; that they are more given to the use of irritating diets the ingesting of highly seasoned foods, rich steaks, wines, cocktails and other alcoholic beverages; that they are more exposed to malaria poisoning. But, of course, these above mentioned causes would also affect the females the same as the males if they were exposed to the same extent. The causes that we want to emphasize and enter a more vlk protest against in warning our male population are syphilis and excessive urticaria. The young men and young women, in fact, the man or young woman who indulges to any 'great extent, or to the smallest extent, in the use of whiskey, beer, glu, and wines, etc., as a beverage, will sooner or later be exposed to the stomach, hardening of the arteries, enlargement, and later on hardening of the liver. Too many of our young men spend their hard earned dollars for these beverages which affect, in the most dangerous way, the most important organs of the body. And there are so many members of the human family that are afflicted with syphilis. Syphilis as a cause or producer of kidney disease is a very important factor, in fact, syphilis largely deranges all of the organs of the body. Now, this disease, syphilis, can be largely avoided by living clean, non-clandestine hygienic lives. Germinating is another-factor in causing Bright's disease. Especially is this true if it is accompanied with the eating of -ach, juicy, steaks or much nitrogenous foods. It is also Bright's disease one must use a well-conditioned diet. The good lives—the fellow who is afraid of catching cold, who stays confined largely in the house, or at his desk in his office, fails to take the proper exercise or who indulges largely in alcoholics, who lives largely a claning self in such a germardiness is treating himself in such a manner that someone or later his kidnives are going him. In our next article we will take up how to know when we have Bright's disease and what to do when we have Distance of Moon From Earth. Proselyactly, the moon is distant from the earth a little less than 240,000 miles, or less than ten times the circumference of the earth. This is very difficult to see in a neighbor, and especially one so powerful, a radio satellite, the diameter of which is 21,162 miles and its mass being much greater than that of any satellite of any other planet of our solar system; Mars having two, Jupiter seven, ten, Uranus four, and Neptune one. Deserving Crown of Patience Deserving Crown of Patience. The crown of patience cannot be received without refraining. If thou refusest to suffer, thou refusest to be crowned; but if thou wishest to be crowned, thou must fight manfully and suffer patiently. Withholding the crown, and without contending there can be no conquest.—Thomas a Kempis. New York Led in Economy New York Lee in Economy. Although New York lies entirely outside of the coal-producing area, it was the first state in which were built by-product ovens, which save the gas, tar, and ammonia.
