ANDERSON People's Choice For Alderman From Second Ward Eloquently Flays Opponents at Non-Partisan Meeting at Odd Fellows' Hall. SPEECH IS TALK OF TOWN. Friends of De Priest and Griffin Like His Manly Stand and Applaud His Utterances—Turning Point in Campaign. Mr. Charles Griffin and Oscar De Priest, candidates for aldermen from the Second ward, concede the nomination of Louis B. Anderson, the other candidate for the office. This statement is made as the result of wave of indignation that is sweeping over the ward following the non-partisan meeting at Odd Fellows' Hall, Friday night last. Everybody's Friend Out. If any one thing was need to show the utter despair of Messrs. De Priest and Griffin it was the spirit of bitterness that these two gentlemen allowed to crop out at that meeting. The hall was packed to the doors with men and women, friends of the three candidates. They were bidden there through cordial invitations to hear the three contestants explain their qualifications for the office and understood that there was to be no mud slinging. Dr. Hall Calls Halt. But there was and of the worst kind. Mr. De Priest was the greatest transgressor and had to be cautioned by Dr. Hall who interrupted him in the midst of his address. Even the friends of Mr. De Priest admit that he violated all the rules of fair play in his attack on Mr. Anderson. He was still speaking when that gentleman entered the hall. His entrance was the turning point in the campaign. The spirit of fair play asserted itself in the applause and it was evident that talking about a man behind his back was not to the liking of the vast crowd. Anderson Shows Mettle. Mr. Anderson's masterly address is still the talk of the town. In the language of the street he handed out some hot jolts. He made the speech of his life and his pointed sarcasm in replying to the vicious attack of Mr. De Priest, demonstrated to the unacquainted what manner of man the people's candidate was. The polite but biting tongue lashing of this master orator made De Priest and Griffin cow and cringe and the audience howled with delight. PROF. MOSES A. DAVIS VISITS CEMENT SHOW Prof. Moses A. Davis, principal of the Industrial High school at Evansville, Ind., attended the cement show in this city last week and incidentally delighted a number of old friends by unexpected visit.

Has Stage Fright and Later. Resuscitated. The local medical association held a meeting last Sunday night at Bethesda Baptist church. There were a number of speakers on the program and among them was Dr. W. A. Driver. Just after he had addressed the chairman and the Rev. Martin, he began with a Demosthenes style of oratory.

In this article we want to say a few is concerning the heart, disease lying the heart, and diseases reing largely from heart affections, reason for taking up this subject that if you will take pains to read last United States census report the health conditions of the peoof of this country you will find that Negro is charged with a greater oldity, and a much larger death or mortality from certain (large-preventable) diseases than other ple of this country. The four diseases in which it is claimed that his th rate is twice and sometimes so times as large as that of the le race are pneumonia, consumpin every form, Bright's disease disease of the kidneys, and orc heart disease. ring this winter season, you will it, that your attention through columns of this paper has already engaged in the consideration of above named disease with the extion of heart disease and its att affections. whether it is true or not that we dying more rapidly, or twice as as other people from these affe- it is highly important that we usually consider these matters and the means of preventing them as possible, because these ad-reports relative to our physical health conditions bear down very and heavy upon us from an uical and social standpoint. The Heart. heart is a hollow, muscular or divided into four compartments umbers. When these muscular contract, they squeeze out or the blood from these chambers a blood is carried to the various of the body. The two smaller ers are called the auricles, and two larger chambers are called auricles. These chambers are up of strong, muscular fibers. light auricle and right ventricle the right half of the heart; the auricle and the left ventricle the left half of the heart, the flying between these right and compartments. The function of the heart is that of a pump; it pumps the blood through the vessels leading from the heart. The arteries lead from the left chambers and carry the bright arterial blood. It is the function of the veins to gather up the venous or dark blood and bring it to the right side of the heart and empty it into the right auricle, thence to the right ventricle, carrying it to the lungs through the pulmonary artery to be purified, thence to the pulmonary vein on to the left auricle, thence to the left ventricle, the largest chamber of the heart, on through the mitral valve, thence through the aorta, the largest blood vessel in the body, to the various tissues of the body. When the heart, the blood vessels and the general system are all performing their functions normally, this work of the heart is carried on without the slightest attention on our Dr. A. WILBERFORCE WILLIAMS TALKS ON NO CASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES part; but, under abnormal conditions of the heart and blood vessels or some other disease of the system, for instance, the kidneys, etc., your attention is called to that part of the body economy that is below par. We often hear one speak of valvular heart disease. Between these various chambers of the heart we have located what are called valves; these take their name according to their location and function; for instance, the most common valves spoken of are the mitral valves. They are situated between the left auricle and left ventricle; it is a contrivance whose function is to completely cover and close the opening between the auricle and ventricle so that when the ventricle contracts, the blood cannot get back into the auricle from whence it started. When the ventricle contracts and the valve is imperfect in its closure and allows the blood to flow back, this is known as mitral regurgitation. Diseased Heart. The heart often becomes diseased in very young people; it is often due to certain inflammatory diseases. These diseases affect the heart muscle and the valves of the heart. Among these diseases affecting the muscle of the heart are pneumonia, diphtheria, scarlet fever (due often to the very high temperature), and among the most common diseases that affect the valves of the heart are acute inflammatory rheumatism, chorea and St. Vitus' dance, which very often affect the mitral valve. The heart muscle is often subject to great strain. Athletes often have some heart complication and if afflicted with any serious disease, they are short lived. Alcoholics if indulged in have a very bad effect on the heart muscle, as the best doctors will tell you alcoholics become seriously afflicted with any of the various diseases that seriously affect the vital organs. Anaemia or weakness means impoverishment of the blood. In this condition we often find droopsy which, as was stated in a former article, is only a symptom of a disease but not a disease in itself. In anaemia we not only have a weakened and flabby condition of the heart muscles, but this condition obtains throughout all the body. Strain, great stress, over-exertion and lack of rest brings on or have much to do in inducing heart disease. Heart dropsy, symptoms of heart disease and advice along these times will be taken up in our next article. ELECTS OFFICERS. The new Board of Directors of the W. A. Wallace Bakery met a few days ago and elected officers for 1915 as follows: W. A. Wallace, president; Mrs. Lou Ella Young, vice-president; M. T. Bailey, secretary; Chas. W. Tyler, treasurer.

TO BE HANDLED WITH CARE Matter of Giving Advice Is Always Worth the Thoughtful Discount A very good rule is expressed in the homely words, "Mind your own business." The desire to help another is praiseworthy, but it may be carried too far, and when it is, one becomes meddlesome and officious. Every man has to be accountable for his own acts. No one may carry this responsibility for him. This is what makes proffered advice often impertinent. The man who offers it offers only half of the need and the easier half at that. If his advice is followed and failure comes, he can only say, "I did the best I could for you." It is seldom that advice thrust on another is of real service to him. Forcing it on any person who does not feel the need of it is confusing and misleading. The man who hears is not likely to make a determined effort to follow it, nor can he wholly forget it. The result is that he feels unsure of the things he is doing. Besides, it is often hard to distinguish a well-meaning friend from an idle meddler, than whom no one is more detested. There are, of course, persons who ask advice, and then thought of the most serious kind is needed. Not what you would do, but what the oiier man ought to do and can do—that is the only advice you can give him, and then you are probably better off if he doesn't take it. For giving advice is one of the hardest things a thoughtful person can be asked to do, and one of the cheapest things the thoughtless person does. Millwankee Journal.

The Dutch: at Whithy Whitby's last experience of naval warfare was rather curious. In June, 1636, two Dutch warships chased "a pickleoon belonging to the king of Spain" into the harbor, and though in neutral water, England being at peace with both combatants, lowered their boats to board the Spanish vessel. The governor of the town, Sir Hugh Cholmley, protested, but the Dutch carried out their design and captured the enemy's ship. Thus set at defense, Sir Hugh called up the trained hands, took boats, recaptured the Spanish ship and took prisoner one of the Dutch captains. Whitby's chief fame is that from its abey emerged the first English singer, Caedmon. He was remarkable among his fellows for his ignorance of such simple skill in the art of song as belonged to the monks of those days.—Pall Mall Gazette. Another Edison Marvel When the telephone was nothing more than an experimental toy in 1870, Mr. Edison predicted that this form of communication would not be perfect until combined with the phonograph, so that telephone messages would be recorded automatically. And now, forty-five years later, when fifteen millions of conversations are carried annually over the telephone wires, Mr. Edison is ready to exhibit at the Panama-Pacific fair for the first time the telescribe, a combination of the telephone and dictaphone, which will put upon a cylinder for reproduction every syllable uttered into the transmitter. A little thought will enable any one to realize what a revolution will be wrought in commercial and legal affairs when a telephone conversation can be proved beyond dispute as readily as a written document. Crocodiles Live Long Crocodiles are very interesting because they are survivals of an ancient and vanished epoch. They resemble closely some of the saurians that walked on the earth and swam in the ocean during that age of reptiles which, according to the geologists, came to an end many millions of years ago. It is probable that these creatures live longer than any other animal in the world. There is a crocodile in the embassy garden at Mutwal, in Ceylon, which is known to be 155 years old, though its age when first captured could not be ascertained.

V An exchange recommends the reading of a fine soul-felt poem before retiring for the night's rest. It tends to compose the soul and put it in harmony with the truth and goodness of things. A novel will not do that, nor a newspaper, nor anything that sets the mind in a flutter. Reading a poem—one of the good old kind that goes into the heart and has a nice time there, is like floating down a quiet stream, past the fragrance of mowers and the song of the birds.

K, FOR ANDERSON. Editor Voice of the People: Eduh Voice of the People: A party of people came through the Mecca building to find help Mr. Anderson stood and greatly to our pleasure nearly every man and woman there spoke highly of the ability and character of Mr. Anderson and said they would vote for him. Yours truly, KATHERINE HIGHTOWER, MARY JOHNSON, BLANCHCHE SMITH. Triumph for Great Composer Triumph for Great Composer. When Handel's "Messiah" was first performed in London, the audience was exceedingly struck and affected by the music in general; but when the chorus struck up, "For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth," they were so transported that they all, including the king, who was present, started up and renalmed standing till the chorus ended; and hence it became the fashion in England for the audience to stand while that part of the composition is performed. Bayberry Shrub. The plant from which the bayberry candle is made is the shrub Myrica cerifera, a plant which is common in New England, and especially along the coast of Maine. The bayberry shrub is not closely related to the Myrica acris, or West India bay, from the leaves of which bay rum is obtained by distillation. Loyal to Aunt May. Aunt May was the favorite aunt of little Ellen. One day the former said to her, naming three other aunts, "Which do you like best, Aunt Anna, Aunt Emily or Aunt Palmer?" Little Ellen looked thoughtful a moment and then said, "Why, I like Aunt Anna better than Aunt Palmer, but I don't like anybody best what isn't you." o Money. ill is indeed often it ill is a worse on " is worst To lose n crime; but ```markdown ``` By Mrs. Cordrue Boly. The vow which a man takes before the altar is the most sacred and binding of any that he ing of any that he may take through life. The minister impresses him with the sacredness of that vow, and unless he intends to keep it he must not enter the state of matrimony. Yet how many times has it been violated, how many times forgotten before the parties turned from the altar! How many women have gone wrong from neglect and the husband's disregard for his vows! L. B. Anderson, the People's Choice for Alderman. How much we respect and admire a man who loves and cherishes the wife and family that our heavenly Father has given him; who cares not how many are under that roof being fed from his table, whether relatives or friends, just so she whom he took at the altar is there also. How do we who have any regard for the good and true feel when we sit in a crowd and hear such a man as this hold up for ridicule? How do we feel when we hear our leaders and a minister of the gospel take the name of that good wife, one of the purest and most lovable women, and make it into a slang phrase and by-word for the lowest and most depraved men of the street, and the child, the only one to bless this union and not yet blossomed into womanhood, dragged into a political controversy for the sake of helping a christian candidate? What a hollow mockery of Christianity! The Best and Some Others. The Best and Some Others. Our aldermanic campaign being on, meetings are being held nightly, so I happened to go, with others, to the Pelin Theater Monday night to the big Griffin meeting. Some of our best people were thore, and certainly some of our worst, as is the case in all large political meetings. At this meeting it was my painful lot to sit and hear Mr. Louis B. Anderson accused of being afraid of coming "out" in the last campaign, his fear being if he did so he would lose his job, and thore before be unable to properly look out for "Julia and the baby." Men upon whose shoulders these things rest lightly can talk lightly. The men of our race are in a peculiar position. Every day they are losing ground even in the most menial positions, and when a black face drops out it is replaced by a white one. When a white face drops out it is replaced by another white one. Places are not created for our men; and if by chance a man of our race happens to be lucky it is his place to try to stay. So it happened some years ago, we were told, that our friend, the Hon. E. H. Wright, placed Mr. Louis B. Anderson as clerk in the county attorney's office. Mr. Wright, always for the betterment of our race, saw, so we are told, that other clerks in the same office were called assistant state's attorneys; therefore he saw no reason why the colored man should not be called the same. He took the matter up with the proper people, and out of the office emerged Mr. L. B. Anderson, assistant county attorney, instead of Louis B. Anderson, clerk. Thanks to Mr. Wright for placing a man in such a position who has the once betrayed the trust that he gave. Born after twelve years of wed back in politics he showed how little he really does know about this side of life. He said the people said he would close all the saloons and poolrooms, but he wouldn't. Remember There Are Others. At this point he evidently forgot that there were other members of the city council, for he said he wouldn't do any such thing, and if a man was in the saloon business, let him do that until he could find something better. I must say that in this part of his talk Mr. Griffin reminded me of a school child more than he did a man. As we need a man in the city council who is wildewake and can see the "joker" in any ordinance or plan that is brought before the body, I will say that Mr. Griffin is not the man. He has had no legal experience, and I don't suppose he has had any experience in law-making. One-half of the present council may not know their names when they see them, but the other half will hold up their hands, for they are all white together, but the colored man who goes must stand absolutely alone. Mr. Griffin was a failure at his own meeting among his own people, so, my dear readers, draw your own conclusions. I have not had the opportunity to attend a De Priest meeting, but I did hear Rev. Callis say that Dr. Fisher and the bishop were both liars and had stood in Olivet Church and told these lies. I have a few say that Mr. De Priest has the best chance because he is backed by the organization. Is that so? Has the organization given us the right man? Has it given us a race man who at all times and all places takes the stand for his race? Has it not given us a man who has turned his back upon us in the last two elections and helped to elect a white man in place of one of our own? Did he not go outside of this organization to fight for a Democratic alderman in the person of Alderman Tearny against Foreman? Did he not work for our present state's attorney, who is a Democrat? Are these two Democrats allied with the Republican organization? Did his political character stand the test of the investigation by the Republican organization last fall when he was a candidate for county commissioner? And now are they fair and square with us who have always stood by them by throwing such a man at us and telling us that he has their stamp upon his brow and that we must vote for him? Do they think that slavery still exists and that we must still obey our masters like good slaves? I say no! Let us show them that we have an organization of our own, organized on the 23d day of February, 1915. Believes Anderson Sincere. Believes Anderson Sincere. I attended an Anderson meeting and heard Mr. Anderson, and will say that he is the right man and positively the best of the three. First he showed us that he was sincere, and not seeking the place if the people did not want him, by his plan of elimination. He was willing to spend money to find this out, thereby saving himself much money and time if not wanted, which was very good indeed, and I believe from the bottom of my heart that he is truthful and honest, and when he said that if the people did not want him he would work just as hard for the one who stood highest in the test. Now that he is no longer in the attorney's office he can be as active as he wishes, and we certainly do not blame him for his inactivity before. Better for him to be silent forever than a traitor to his race. He also said that if his loyalty to his home was an objection to his going to the city council he would forever stay out.

VARIED DIET FOR CATTLE In Several Parts of the World the Feeding of Fish and Mutton Has Proved of Benefit. The use of fish and mutton as food for cattle is, it seems, not uncommon in certain parts of the world. Dry, salt fish is fed to cattle, sheep and horses in Shetland and Iceland. The cattle kept for displays of strength at the village festivals in certain sections of Madras are prepared for the show upon a diet of mutton. And in the same section bundicots (the two-foot-long India rats) are also often ground up into stock food. Over sixty years ago experiments were carried out at Rothamsted, the great English agricultural experiment station, in raising pigs upon a diet of dried Newfoundland codfish. The Madras fisheries bureau has recently conducted similar experiments upon heifers. In this case controls were maintained in the shape of an equal lot of heifers fed on a vegetable diet. At the end of six months it was found that the fish-fed heifers had increased 54 pounds in weight, whereas the controls on a normal tiet showed a 70-pound increase. From which it seems to follow that, as a fattening option for cattle, meat is not desirable. The director of the Madras station suggests, however, that in regions where fish are plentiful and low in price the surplus might, to advantage be used as a stock food. It requires a little time and patience to educate the cattle to the new food, but once this is accomplished they consume it with apparent relish. Sleep in Darkened Room.

In deed, were it not for its stimulating effect upon our minds half the joy of living would vanish because by looking forward into the future and trying to realize our pleasures and ambitions before they actually come to us we largely increase their happy effects. The man who is unable to anticipate the future in any way whatever, who sees no reason in trying to taste his joys beforehand, who derives no satisfaction in building upon his hopes, misses a great deal of very wholesome pleasure. Common sense tells him, so he argues, that it is unwise to count upon anything in this life unless it is actually in his grasp, but then most of us get some very real joy at times in acting contrary to the routine teaching of common sense. We do not mean by this, of course, that it is ever best to ignore our betre, judgment but, even admitting the fact that anticipation is not always the part of wisdom, there is no questioning the fact that it is very delightful to be unwise in this way at times. If we did not look forward to what is to come with hearts full of hope and expectancy how could we get through with some of the hardest days of life? If we did not depend in so large a measure upon our anticipations how could we hope to overcome our discouragements? Anticipation is in a way the twin sister of the zest of life—Charleston News and Courier. Greatest Poets Homer, Lucretius, Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe, Milton, Shelley, Byron, Tennyson, Browning.

JESSE BINGA ONLOOKER University of Chicago Team Goes Wild with Joy When Dismond Wins —Stagg, the Coach, Declares Him to Be the Next World's Champion Runner. By Frank A. Young. The Maroon track team upset all predictions last Saturday evening at Lafayette, Ind. Ward and Goodwin, teammates of Binga Dismond, broke the Purdue track record, the former equaling the world's record for the 40-yard dash and the latter lowering the mile record. But the greatest of all was the work of H. Binga Dismond, who ran the quarter in 54%, not only winning with case, but setting a new record at Purdue and lowering the one held by Davenport, the former star of all quarter-millers at Chicago University. Dismond will be seen Saturday night at the First Regiment Armory games. Banker Bingo Spectator Jesse Binga, the banker, was among the spectators, and was extended several invitations by Professor Stagg to join his party, but Binga is noted for his modesty, therefore he declined. When Dismond passed the line there was great shouting and praise. He was carried on the shoulders of his team through all parts of the "gym". Coach Stagg says Dismond will most likely become the champion runner of America. Butler Wants Shield.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. Inu for the Defender have these no later re publication. ```markdown ``` Mrs. Louise Juett Perry, One of Kentucky's Prettiest Young Women Guest of Miss Martha (By Hardin Tolbert.) Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 19.—The Washington Eagle has this to say of the new insurance that is to come into Kentucky: "It has again fallen to the lot of the National Benefit Association to take the lead in a matter of vital interest to the race and achieve a notable victory after a great legal fight. This time it happened in 'Old Kennyck.' Last summer Vice President L. H. Rutherford visited the Kentucky insurance department at Frankfort for the purpose of having the company admitted to do business in the state. Upon refusal of the department to issue a license mandamus proceedings were instituted to compel it to do so. On January 28 a decision from the court of appeals of that state, giving the company the right to do business there, was rendered. It appeared from the brief filed for the insurance department by Mr. James Carnett, attorney general, and M. M. Dogan, assistant attorney general, that a license to the company was refused because its charter was inconsistent with the laws of the state and the provisions of its charter. The opinion is very full, giving all the privileges and rights sought, and is written by Judge Carroll, who is regarded as the leader on the Kentucky court of appeals bench. And, inasmuch as it is from the highest court of the state, there can be no appeal. Through the recommendations of Mr. Thomas K. Robb and Mr. C. L. Timberlake, two of Frankfort's foremost citizens, Jas. H. H. Polsgrove, Esq., and J. P. Hoe & Son represented the National Benefit Association. By this signal and sweeping victory the National Benefit has now made the way possible for the development of home companies and opened the door for the entry of foreign ones, with all that this will mean to colored citizens in the Bluegrass state. Although the company will be compelled under the decision rendered to increase its $50,000 deposit to $60,000, it will in no way embarrass it. Its resources are over $50,000." D. D. Williams of Franklin and one of the wealthiest citizens in the western part of the state was in the city, the guest of Professor and Mrs. C. L. Timberlake. Mr. Williams is master of exchequer of the K. of P.'s and a retired blacksmith. He accumulated a large amount of property and is a prosperous man. Mr. L. D. Williams and the writer dined with Mr. Williams at Mr. and Mrs. Timberlake's. A five-course menu was served. The guest was much elated over the repast.

Walker Dr. Emil G. Hirsch, Had of Sinai Congregation, Say "He Is an American Who Consecrates Himself with the Ideas of America Without Equvocation." FOREIGNERS GET A OLT Distinguished Hebrew Leader Cultions Foreign-Born That Ideal Americans Honor Only One Flag, an That Good Citizenship Is a Duly Last week in an address on Abraham Lincoln before the National Garment Manufacturers' Association and Merchant Tailors' Association Dr. Emil G. Hirsch, head of the Sinai Congregation, gave a new definition to the word American, declared that the folds of the stars and stripes were ample for the protection of all races, and pointed out the duties of citizenship to the foreign-born. "He is an American," said the distinguished rebel leader, "who conquerates himself with the idea of America without equivocation." Know but One Flag. The speaker was accorded unstinted lause as he delivered this new definition of an American. "He is an American," Dr. Hirsch continued, "who knows but one flag—the flag which is the common flag, that flag which waved in the vault of Lincoln's army. He is an American who has taken the oath of citizenship, or who has not taken the oath of citizenship because he was born here, and knows that American citizenship is not only a right, but a duty. Let us not ask where were you born, but what is your devotion to the flag, and then let us set to the world an example of how children of different races, never to speak at home a different language, can fare together in peace and work together for the common ideals." CHICAGOANS ENJOY LIFE AT HOT SPRINGS Hot Springs, Ark., Feb. 19.—Among the guests registered at the Crittenden Hotel are Mrs. Grace Hoxter and her niece, Miss Hilda Coates, who are enjoying the beautiful weather and the many sports Hot Springs has to offer. They are being royally entertained by the Misses Fielding, Levels, Curtis, Saunders and Page, the leaders of the Hot Springs younger set. Miss Coates suffered a serious attack of pneumonia during the holidays and after convalescence went to the Springs and other southern points to recuperate.

ORGANIZE BASEBALL TEAM Hot Springs, Ark., Feb. 19.—Preliminary steps for the reorganization of a first-class baseball team have been effected by J. C. Cobb, who was elected president of the new organization, and Horatio H.

In orler to secure uniforms and equipment, a number of girls have volunteered to solicit public subscriptions and raise sufficient money. A few years ago Hot Springs had a ball team that furnished a great deal of entertainment for visitors, and won the championship of Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana, and it is the intention to have even a stronger team than the former one.

Coming from Providence, R. five years ago for the purpose of regaining her health, Miss Spears was offered the position of advertising agent for the California Eagle, then owned by J. J.

It had but few subscribers and consequently was in imminent danger of disappearing altogether. Fearing complete destruction Mr. Neimore left the editing of the paper for six months or more to Miss Spears, and hastened to San Francisco with the hope of securing some financial assistance for his paper.

Mr. Cornelius Pierce, secretary of the Wabash N. M. C. A., while on his way to work Wednesday, risked his life to stop a runaway mail team at Thirty-eighth and Wabash. The mail wagon had stopped on the corner of State, and while the driver was collecting from the box the horse started and, frightened by shouts of men and screams of women, increased his trot to a gallop. Attracted by the shouts and seeing the many children that wore on their way to school in danger, Mr. Pierce ran to the middle of the street, grabbed the horse by the bridle and, after being dragged a few feet, succeeded in bringing him to a stop. He then turned him over to the excited postman, who after many thanks, drove wagon No. 42 on its daily route, while Mr. Pierce, after brushing the mud and dirt from his clothes, went about his duties as though nothing had happened.

WITH THE WEST SIDERS After a terrific fight with his wife's brother, at their home, 1916 West Lake street, Frank Murphy was taken to the County hospital with a badly battered head and a broken leg. Mrs. Murphy's testimony is that on Saturday afternoon her brother, Henry Herbert Davis, who lives at 2019 Walnut street, and her husband argued about the time of year to plant potatoes, and that her brother took exception at her husband knowing more about farming than her brother. At this he became angry and picked up a chair to brain her husband, who held their two months' old baby in his arms. On seeing that her brother meant fight, her husband passed the baby to her and made an effort to defend himself. Men passing on the street were attracted by the screams of the children, came in and separated the men. The most dreadful part of this affair is that Mrs. Murphy is an invalid with five little children, the oldest being only nine years old, and the youngest only two months, and that her husband has not worked for nearly three months. At this writing the brother is still at large and the husband is in the County hospital. Both men are about 50 years old. * **Mrs. E. M.

CHURCH TO BUILD TEMPORARY HOME FOR UNEMPLOYEI Providence Institutional Baptist Church Finds Many Newcomers to Los Angeles, Lure There by Advertised Prosperity, Are Friendless and Wilt out Money. Eloise Bibb Thompson Reviews Spidid Work of Religious Settlem Workers Under Alfred William Music and Lectures New Feature Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 19.—The work of the Providence Institutional Baptist Church, corner of Agatha and Crocker streets, is most helpful to both its colored communicants and many of the unemployed of the city who are seeking situations in ever direction, writes Eloise Bibb Thompson in the Los Angeles Tribune. This church has added a new feature to the religious work of Los Angeles. Under the leadership of Alfred C. Williams, called from the Institutional Church of Palatka, Flat the Providence Institutional Church has worked out a plan whereby it may of real benefit to the people of the city. It has inaugurated a Bible training school that, in addition to studying the scriptures, does systematical social work under a trained leader. has also organized a music school having an enrollment of something like forty pupils, who are instructed in vocal and instrumental music. Music Adds to Interest Music Adds to Interest. Supplementary to the music school is the pupils' orchestra of ten music instruments, adding zest to the young people's religious endeavor. Book keeping, shorthand and typewriting cooking and plain sewing are also carried on by this progressive church, as well as a children's playground and a free employment bureau. Realizing that counsel must go hand in hand with service if social betterment would be assured, this church has introduced a lecture Course, twelve lectures being given annually. Such lecturers have thus far been secured as Dr. H. Z. Hartshorn, pastor of the West End Congregational Church, who is of the beauty of the West Bend means of stereopicon views; Mrs. E. Benthight, well-known author and playwright, who gave an interesting biography of Frederic Douglass, the American anti-slavery agitator; and John D. Stevenson, secretary of the businessY, M. C. A. work, who talked to Brooke, T. Washington and his wife. Beyond the work of the Providence stitutional culture, its schools flourish, because it lacks funds. Its members are bending every effort to pay the $12,000 indebtedness on the building, which was incurred through its purchase some seven months ago. Sewing machines and materials necessary for the teaching of dressmaking are very much n demand for the sewing, as well as an apartment for the instruction in domestic science, together with provisions and adequate cooking utensils. The back yard of the church has been prepared by its faithful members for a children's playground as a means of keeping the children out of the street when school has been dismissed. But thus far it has been impossible to procure any apparatus other than one swing. To Build Home for Pool. The free employment bureau conducted for the last six months discloses the fact that a large number of people coming from the East, recent arrivals in Los Angeles, are homeless. These people, attracted to Los Angeles because of its mild climate and its advertised condition of great prosperity, find on arrival a great army of unemployed similar to what is found in most large cities, marking the money stringency of the times. Having left home with little more than their fare, these thoughtless tourists reach Los Angeles penniless and apply for work to every free employment agency in town. It is the plan of the Providence Institutional Church to erect in the future an institution that will serve as a transient home, for these thoughtless incomers. Other institutional churches doing effective work over the country are the Cherry Street Baptist Church of Philadelphia, Fa; the Presbyterian Church of Princeton, N. J., and the A. J. Church of Chicago, of which Dr. Cavey is warden.

Springfield, F.B.C. 19—The great Lincoln's centennial banquet which has been held annually on February 12 since 1905, was a great success. Six hundred or more sat under a veritable canopy of old age. Large art, of course, was at the great and richly-relegated eulogies on the great emancipator. Representative S. B. Turner of Chicago participated. "We are having a hented day," he said. "We have a candidate," is what the people want to do. "The Culture Club," a sort of Sunday forum, held at Union Baptist church weekly at 4:30 p.m., is a means to an advantage.

Doctors say that this is a dangerous thing to do. If you have hardened and deadened the membranes of your palate and your digestive system by the excessive use of narcotics like tobacco or opium or of alcoholic stimulants, of course you cannot trust the cravings of your degenerate appetite, says Leslie's Magazine. But if you are well and sound and fairly sensible, perhaps the desire for any particular sort of food or drink is as good a guide as one could have for the proper diet. Amusing stories can be collected in almost any company of singular experiences in this line. One hears incredible tales of dying men who gasped out a request for fried oysters or mince or something equally silly—were supplied with the coveted dainty and proceeded to get well at once. One lady recently told of a child of four who was lying at the point of death, but who begged for pancakes and ham gravy. One can hardly conceive of parents who had allowed a child of that age to conceive a fondness for those particular edibles—but this one had surely become acquainted with them and liked them. As he seemed likely to live but a few moments in any case, he was gratified. Smoking hot pancakes, liberally enlivened with ham gravy, were given blun, until his eccentric appetite was satisfied. Then he fell into a gentle slumber, and a few days later was playing about the house as well as ever. World's Oldest University. Founded in the year 972 A.D., the Mohammedan university of Al-Azhar ("the Luminous") is the oldest existing university in the world.

The teaching consists chiefly of Mohammedan dogm, which is laboriously committed to memory from sacred books. Aluminum.

It has, good seats, a good piano and a convenient stage for concert, or recital, and I prefer to spend my money for hall purposes with my own people, rather than humiliate myself and the race I belong to -by begging the privilege of giving my money to white owners of hall." Not a Full Explanation The manifestation called heat is with humans and most other animals a sensation indescribable. From the time of Democritus and Epicurus, and far back of that, the mystery of the source of heat was hotly discussed. As time flew on and on the mystery was segregated into learned words, and Sir Humphry Davy explained it all by saying that heat was merely the vibration or corpuscles of the body. He did not tell of the origin of the corpuscles or why they vibrated. Slavery Originated in the East. Absolute slavery seems to have appeared in the eastern colonies somewhat earlier than in the southern, for slavery existed in New York in 1628, in New Jersey in 1628, in Massachusetts in 1630, in Connecticut in 1631 and in Delaware in 1636. There was a statutory recognition of slavery in Massachusetts in 1641, which was considerably ahead of such recognition of slavery in Virginia or Maryland. Guide for Daily Life.

By Tony Langston, Staff Photographer RUBE FOSTER CHATS ABOUT HIS CAREER Famous Pitcher - Manager Puts Aside Usual Reserve and Grants Interview to Defender Reporter Who Finds Him at Work in His Office at Home. RECALLS UNION GIANTS. Interviewer Hears Complete History of Professional Baseball — Threatened Starvation Brings Together First Team—Mrs. Foster Never Saw Game Until She Was Married. By George E. Mason. If I were to tell you the story of Connie Mack, I could only speak of a man who had succeeded in perfecting one of the world's most wonderful baseball machines. Mack had everything—men and money—at his disposal, so it was with Frank Chance; but it was not so with our "Rube," as he is affectionately called by countless white and colored baseball fans. Here let me tell you the story of his wonderful career—strange enough to be fiction, but not less model than reality. Mack was the regular Sunday morning services. As I entered his confy home just after the noon hour, I was more than agreeably surprised. I had expected to find it the proverbial home of an athletic sporting man; expected to see flags, pennants and various souvenirs of his many triumphs, hanging every time. Twas, ah, so different; in fact, could as well be the home of one of our most pious ministers. Quiet Setting for Mighty Man. Modestly correct furniture, a few pictures, most conspicuous of which is one of Lil Rube and Mr. "Rubu" baseball uniform, adorn the almost severely plain walls. Strange setting for a meeting with the real shining light of our sporting world, thought "yours truly," as Mrs. Foster pointed me upstairs to Mr. Foster's office—a real office, too. As I mounted the stairs, the clattering of a typewriter came to my ears. A moment later I was heartily received by Mr. Foster. "Sorry I haven't time, sir; I'm awfully busy," he said, with apparent regret. "I am from the Defender and would like to ask you a few questions," I begged. "The magic words, 'The Defender,' We opine that Mr. Foster has some affection for The Defender, or he immediately granted me this— the first and only interview given to the press, revealing his personal career, the struggles, the privations, and most inspiring of all, his triumphs as a baseless player, from which I have deducted the following story. First Work in Chicago. Rice, our carer, to. Chicago in 1902 and pitcher for Frank C. Leland, who then operated the Chicago Union Giants, losing one game during his brief stay of three months, leaving the club to pitch for a white club at 1903, when he found him with the Cuban Giants. York. It was with this club he opened the eyes of the baseball world, winning the championship from the Philadelphia Giants, closing the year with 54 victories, 1 defeat. The year 1904 found him with the Philadelphia Giants, the club he defeated the year previous for the championship of the world, and won back the title for the former teammates, setting a record time of fanning 18 men in a championship game and winning the only games won for his club, incidentally giving them the championship honors of the colored baseball world. He remained with the Philadelphia Giants in 1905 and 1906. In the fall of 1900 the white managers began to lower the salaries of the colored players; in 1906 he scored 16 at 15 cents a day, and to furnish own uniforms, and play 30 days. Prior to the time their salaries began for their board. If Necessary Starve Together. It was then that Rube Foster showed the great qualities that afterwards made him equally successful a manager as a pitcher. He called several of the players of the Philadelphia Giants together and told them while his contract or salary had not changed, that he not think they were being treated fairly, and if they were going to stave, the best policy would be to starve trying to better themselves, adding that he would guarantee them the salary offered by the Philadelphia team, place a team in Chicago, and if necessary, all starve together. The result was the forming of the coorganized Los Angeles Giants, who made history with Los Angeles under his leadership. Afterwards he joined the American Giants, who are today the standard of colored baseball clubs. During his eight years as a manager he has not only paid the largest salaries, but is the only colored manager in the business, that has the name of never missing a pay day. He was the first to take a club on a southern team and the only one to use a private Pullman car every place he goes. Backbone of Profession. His club is the best uniformed in the business and has traveled farther than all the other clubs combined. His players are loyal to him and all baseball players know him to be the best player on a 10,000 mile trip March 1st, returning to Chicago April 25th, the day of the opening of the season of 1915. Has no Favorites. "Have you any favorites among your players?" I asked. "No," he answered, emphatically, "I try to pick my players by their ability to play baseball. Real team work is necessary to make a winner, so every player must be up to the standard or, in spite of personal friendship or public opinion, I insist on judging my men by their ability to play winning ball." "I notice that you don't know other teams," I said, suggestively, "can come the secret of the Foster success, and good teams to play us; that's what brings the fans' interest; that's why I need my time to keep a winning team, to keep ahead of the rest of 'em. There are some good ones, too." That brought to memory many of last season's hard battles when a slip by Barbour or wild pitch by Jenkins, who by the way, is a Foster-made success, or a slip by the old reliable Peter Hill, would have cost the game, but the steadying presence of Foster, sometimes apparently quiet on the bench, but in reality steadily signaling through some bench player, the unexpected would happen. A groove ball, a hot bounder to Lloyd, a double to Monroe to Barbour, and the bacon was once more in the same old smokehouse. Wife Knows Best Part of Game. "Does the wife know the game?" I ventured to ask. That shot found his soft spot—his only real egotism. "She only has interest in it because 'I play it. Never saw a game before we married,' he answered, proudly. Think of it, that from Foster. Mrs. Foster has real interest. She seems to know the business end of the game. Maybe that why Rube Foster, baseball player, owns that dandy home on Forest avenue, and never has failed to pay his players. Maybe, like "the cat that raced the bull-dog," he had to win. Getting Ready for 10,000-Mile Jaunt. I had already taken up too much of his valuable time, for Mr. Foster is very busy preparing for his little 10,000-mile jaunt, so I arose to leave just as Mrs. Foster brought in several large letters from the evening mail, signed contracts, I venture to guess, the nifty Petway, Barboun, Jenkins Hill, the new shortstop, Whitworth, a new pitcher; McNair, a new outfielder; old reliable Hill, and other stars of last season's team. I had satisfied myself that Rube Foster, gentleman, ball player, has made baseball a business as well as a pleasure, opening up a new vocation for our clean-living young men. What is possible in Chicago is also possible among other cities, and it's a paying pleasure. Just think of that 10,000-mile trip. "Gmon over, fellers, run like everything," let's throw a few and get Rubo to look us over. It may not be too late. Bridgeman, Mich. SunshineHC: I am in need.

Robinson) A birthday surprise party was given at the residence of Mr. Louis Benjamin, 1831 Warrent street, in honor of his step-daughter, Mrs. Pauline Williams. A large number were present. Mr. Williams was useful and valuable presents, After refreshments were served, games were played and music rendered. All who were there declare it was the best birthday party of the season. **Mr. Henry Johnson, 1822 Mecklenburg street who was home sick, is able to work. Mr. H. Pace of Benton Harbor, Mich., is visiting his parents here, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pace, 11245 Aadt street. Mr. C. H. Pace, Jr., expects to start in the publishing business in Chicago at West 32d street, about the first of March. He also try to organize a young man's club which, it is believed, will be nice, as there is no musical organization here. Mr. Pace is a writer and composer of the songs, "It's You, Nobody But You" and "The Rose That Made Me Happy Is You," that Made Me No Sad. We wish for Mr. Pace to succeed in his business career. **Mr. Julia Lewis-Smith," who formerly lived in Morgan Park but is now living in Do You War Y touched, and others, a novelty roller skating act, opened the bill with a very attractive series of stunts, and were followed by Dasson, Lanigan and Covert, who sustained their title of The Coming Flies. W. B. Barber and comedian Bill Hare, the middle of the bill in a piece called *Dair of Twos*, which was good. Glenn and Bregdale also aunted their billing title of "Just Two Fools," and their comedy is droll but good. They were easily the best act on the bill, which was closed by the Dellino Pecheco Troupe, a crackerjack acrobat, introducing several features never before. This was a well-balanced bill. ```markdown ``` The last half last week held over Harrison Stewart & Co., in the military burlesque, "Private Bullet Head." This was a little dry, but went well. They should have lived up to their advertised billing and presented "The Whitewash Man," which, we think, would have been a better vehicle. Franklinelo & Violeta were first on Franklinelo and in it, in the meduette, proved excellent. Mudie De Long, a baseball bug, but over plenty of good comedy that caught on, and the Villahs, in a clever bicycle act, were above the ordinary. Harrison Stewart & Co., of ten people, in the miniature musical comedy, "Fun in a Bootluck Parlor," is billed for the first half next week. The Monogram. Parlow Sisteren Ofay singing and dancing act, managed to live through this week, although Klein had to scout through the discipline the second time. He also flossed the flosses. Fisher & Cross are a clever team of society dancers, and put their stuff over in good shape. Tim and Hester Moore present a new burlesque magician act and are a hit. String Beans and Mrs. Beans argue on stage, and the magician acts the act, and are remaining very popular. Business good. Klein happy. The Pekin This has been a banner week here in point of attendance, and the billing has been of a high class.

Prof. Jackson also played "Fantasia Appassionata," "Gypay Melodies," and "Ziguenuerselen," "Ave Marle," were excellently rendered. It was the most high class rendition of violin music ever heard in this city. Mrs. Annis McCloyley sang charmingly a group) songs that won her applause. Mr. Charles Young sang baritone selections and Mrs. Penella Jackson played two big numbers and accompanied Prof. Jackson. Mine. Hall Glint gave a select reading. Jobs. There may be a few easy jobs it is the world, but it requires hard work them—Toledo Blade. Extinction of the Wild Pigeon on & Par With That of the Buffalo— But the Sparrow Still is "Time does change the order of things," said one of a number of elderly men who were gathered in a grocery store over at the Cape one evening last week, "and some of the changes that are hardly noticed or even known by most of the younger people of today are in many ways remarkable. "Take, for instance, the wild pigeon that was to be found in almost every patch of woods in the state when I was a boy; there is not one to be by the entire country east or west of the Rockies today, and one of the departments at Washington has offered a large offer to anyone who will produce or tell where at the wild pigeons can be found. "As I said they were very plentiful in these parts back in the '60s and many were found in the '60s and early '70s, but today not one can be found in the United States." The cause of all this lies in the fact that many people carried on the business of trapping them and out in Scarboro a man by the name of Plummer did this to such an extent that he came to be known as "Pigeon Dave" Plummer. The traps were so arranged that hundreds of the birds would be caught at one spring of the trap, and when one comes to think that this business was carried on all over the country, it is easy to see how in years their numbers dwindled and finally died out altogether. "On the other hand," said another of the party, "comparatively a few years ago we had never heard of such a bird as the English sparrow, and today—they are as thick as white weed in a poor man's pasture." "Speaking of white weed," and the first speaker, "reminds me of the time I went to school way up on what is now Highland avenue, and white weed was just making its appearance in the fields. It was not very plentiful, however, and I remember that a farmer named Dyer told us boys that he would give us a cent a dozen for that we could pick in his field, for by that means it was kept from going to seed. Look at the fields nowadays. If one could get a cent a dozen for it now, someone could get rich in the course of a course of years and not have to work but be with two each year at that. Yes, sir, we should be changes in such things as these during the last 20 or more years, and are still going on."-Portland Express and Advertiser. Science Museum Several groups of objects of special interest as illustrating appliances used in war by sea, land, and air have been brought together in two rooms in the Science museum, South Kensington, London. Perhaps the most striking of these are the series of models of types of British warships and of British and foreign aircraft. Among the former are models of several well-known ships, including a model of his majesty's ship Good Hope and one of the dreadnaught battleship his majesty's ship Monarch, the latter recently added to the collection on loan. Submarines are represented by drawings and photographs. With several features there are fullsize engines and parts. The enemy's aircraft are represented by a general model of the Rumper-Taube monoplane, which was the chief German army machine at the beginning of the war, and a diagram drawing of a Zeppelin. Limit Libations to Three There is a limit. The number of cocktails, highballs, fizzes, and other flavored and perfumed libations known to possess a slow, sinuous, undulating recoil action familiar known as a "kick," that may be consumed at one sitting is just three. The three-round limit applies, however, to a relatively few cocktails, but, nevertheless, a popular one. The rule has been promulgated by a leading hotel for guidance of the frequenters of the public room known as the lounge, and which is most crowded during the afternoon tea hours. Since this room is designed for the special comfort of women, and no more man can purchase anything in it unless he is escorting one or more of the fair women, and that the rule had the women in view when designed. —San Francisco Chronicle A Good Name. All great men have children named after them. There was a time in America when Washington and Jefferson enjoyed, at the baptismal font, a standing not less regular than that of John, or Henry, or James. Now it appears that Frenchnen, including nameless Antoine, the guardian, are calling them Joffre. Figures gathered in one town show that between August 2 and December 15 no less than twenty-one fathers of families bestowed this name upon their sons. A plumber in the same town desired to have his little daughter declined to admit the name to the official register. "And yet," says a French commentator, "it's a pretty name enough!" Raw or Cooked? Bacon-This paper says that the German beef crop this year is expected to produce not less than 2,600,000 tons of raw sugar. The farmer thinks it hot enough over there this year to produce the sugar cooked. Boston Spirits Hubb—I see that Chinese streets are always made crooked to keep the evil spirits out of them. Dubb—and yet here in Boston the more crooked the streets the more saloons there are on 'em. "Landlady." The distinction in which the possession of land used to be is still exemplified in the titles of "landlord" and "landlady."

But let the same woman run a roaming house, of whatever description, and she is not a "landwoman," but a "landlady." When Taking a Car. Be sure you are right, and then ask the conductor—Judge. Fervent Believers in Evil Spirits and Kindred Invisible Agencies Source of Much Trouble. It is a common belief among the ignorant classes of the Chinese that the amenable spirits of the dead area and terrible enemies These demons are believed to be able to subject the relatives to the most evil state of bondage and suffering. Superstition runs so rampant throughout China, in spite of the sprinkle of education and advances made during the last decade by occidental commerce and missionary efforts, that the average native firmly believes in the existence of invisible enemies. The superstitious agencies can mysteriously attack and bring about sickness or accident or other dire disasters. Because of this superstitious fear and belief in the presence of evil demons, many of the Chinese are frequently aroused to the wildest, most uncontrollable state of excitement. These later outbreaks manifest themselves in different phases of public disorder and rioting. For example, in 1877 a man in which a queue-cutting mania occurred. The later Boxer outbreak was a gigantic illustration of how superstitious fear can arouse the average Mongolian. Under the stress of high excitement and fever, the average ignorant Chinaman, led by on unscrupulous leaders, is made to actually believe that the laws of nature have for their especial benefit been suddenly repealed. The ignorant, superstitious mind of the native is readily worked up to the point where he hears that his body is invulnerable to rife bullets, exploding artillery' shells or other missiles of war. Difficult as it is to believe, there are native fatalists existing today in China so wildly superstitious that they believe no sword has ever been forged which can cut their charmed lives. Obviously, they have never gone up against the real thing in occidental warfare, but it is with such sophistries that these fatalists inflame the superstitious minds of their ignorant followers. The disturbing and perilous element among the Celebrities of their wild superstitious, is impossible to understand, of the marvelous advances during the last two decades, China is still filled with such dangerous men. One of the great needs of modern China is some educational method, whereby these wicked and evil states of the ignorant, superstitious mind of the Celestial can be overcome—Clyde Witmer. Surnames of Royalty. The royal families of Europe have not generally a surname because mostly (unlike the English houses of Stuart and Tudor, which were the respective surnames of the first king of each house before he ascended the throne) they are descended in the male line from some territorial counts existing long previous to the period of the reign of King George V, the most important of surnames prevailed. King George V, derives in the male line from the ancient counts of Wettin (fourishing in the tenth century), afterwards electors of Saxony, dukes of Saxe Coburg Gotha, etc. His ancestors in the male line were of the house of Este, one of whom, Azo of Este, married early in the tenth century the daughter and heir of Guelph, duke of Saxony, and the son of the daughter in the male line the dukes of Brunswick-Luvenenburg, afterwards electors of Hanover and kings of Great Britain. The members of the British royal family are described by their princely titles in proceedings in the house of lords, and no allusion is made to any surname—for instance, they sign the test roll merely by their percentage in the roll. Nothing of any surname which appeartained by right or by usage to his late majesty, King Edward, or to his mafia, King George V. How Tolstoy Made His Will The story of how Count Tolstoy made his will is told in the annual of the Tolstoy society by one of the witnesses and is reported by London Public Opinion. On July 22, 1910, the witness was summoned by a lawyer, who said that Tolstoy wanted to make his will without an hour's delay. They rode away at once to the meeting in a mail from Tolstoy's home. He met and led the way into a dense forest. "In the thickest part of all," the narrative continues, "we stopped at a big stump of a tree. Tolstoy sat down on the stump, took a fountain pen from his pocket and asked for a sheet of paper. With feet crossed he began to make the rough sketch of his will." It was completed, signed and witnessed then and there, and then: "He rose and going to his horse said to me, 'What is this queen!' With an activity remarkable in a man of eighty-two he swung himself into the saddle and vanished quickly in the dark greeny of the undergrowth." Expert Cats More Pain Now Egypt Gets More Rain Now. Rain fell in torrents in Alexandria, Egypt, during the rejoicings over the accession of the new sultan. Some of the emigrants had elements that have seemed ridiculous; but of recent years the climatic character of Egypt has lost its consistency; and now we have rain in places where none was known before, and more rain where there was very little, or only the gentle dew. English are believed to be responsible for the rain—with their new channels for spreading over the land the waters of the Nile. Cairo has only two inches in the year, while 500 miles up the Nile there is practically none at all. Just as the plantation of trees in a desert will bring rain, so is Egypt now a moister place because of the extension of cultivated lands. But it is not the western civilization that will ever destroy the drieryness of Egyptian air with which the constitutions of invalids and pyramids agree. She Knew Him.

Those Who Are Tired of the Familiar Methods of Cards and Tea Grounds Might Find Some Amusement in the Practice. This is one of the least known of all methods of foretelling the future, according to the ancient, secret wisdom of prophetic insight. Yet it is one of the most interesting, and easy to perform—though, of course, like all methods of the kind, some skill and practice are necessary in order to interpret quickly and speedily the symbolic interpretations of the signs presented, writes Prof. Sothos Lallierin in the New York American. In order to practice this part of caballistic interpretation, you must procure a fresh egg—as new-lad as possible—and carefully separate the white of the egg from the yolk. Nearly fill a tumbler with the egg water and drop the white of the egg into it, drop at a time. Now place this glass carefully aside for 24 hours, being sure to cover the glass carefully, and that the water does not become warmed by proximity to a radiator, etc. When you again look at the glass, you will find that your white of egg has congealed into various odd-shaped figures—circles, squares, animals, trees, crosses, etc.—which are to be interpreted according to the formula that follows. Long, wide lines denote losses and tangle lines, straight lines, on the contrary, enclosing peace, long life, prosperity and happiness. Squares denote peace and happiness; a ring, marriage. If a letter can be discovered near the ring this will be the first letter of the name of the person you are to marry. If clouds are about the ring, think long and carefully before accepting this person, even if he offers marriage. If a leaf is seen, speedy good fortune will come your way from some unexpected source. If an anchor is seen, identity in love is indicated. If a dog is seen, a sign of affection, if near the top of the top, the denim, deniable faithful friends; if near the middle, doubtful ones; and if near the bottom, enemies to be avoided. A lily or similar flower foretells happiness, if near, near the top of the glass; disappointment if near the bottom; if a number of small dots or spots are present, money is coming your way, airless clouds surround them, in which the sun shines brightly and the notice of losses. A heart denotes a love letter which you will shortly receive. The sun, moon or stars denote happiness and success. The Freaks Must Go The secretary of the Minnesota state fair is authority for the statement that the "freak" show and the sensational side show will not have place in the state fairs of 1915. This form of entertainment is to be relegated to the backstage step having been decided on by the American Association of Fairs and Expositions in a convention at Chicago. It will be a great relief if the minds of children are not to be abnormally stimulated by these morbid, not to say revolting, suggestions. The idea should be exploited by means of their deformities is repulsive and productive of no good. The practice of allowing fakers to grow fat off proceeds from "showing" these unfortunate is a species of barbarism. The atmosphere that pervades state fair shows is as that which surrounds any of our shows, and it has always been a wrong to vittitate it by the clinical features of a freak show.—Minnapolis Journal. A. Quaint Idea. A new idea was introduced in the display of the wedding gifts at a recent New York wedding—the reproduction, namely, in exquisite miniature settings that were too huge to be displayed on the black oak tables in the hall. Thus one of the gifts was an old English manor house. Reproduced to the last detail in a two-foot model, the manor house is a century struck, amongst the pearls and chiselled silver, an exceedingly picturesque note. Another gift was a very low gray torpedo touring car of sixty horse-power. The model, a perfect one, set on a black canvas case, made all the guests's mouth water. There were several other gifts also reproduced in miniature, among them a large model of a horse. Like a "Jack" Johnson." Irvin S. Cobb, the correspondent and author, was talking in Philadelphia about the German "Jack Johnson," those deadly shells which explode with a tremendous discharge of greasy black smoke. "These shells," said Mr. Cobb, "are to the north of the buckenhorse of the plains is to a park hack. "A tenderfoot once mounted a bucker in Tin Can. He was hardly on before he was off again—off over the bucker's head. "What's the matter? said Three-finger Hoover. "Why, she bucked," said the tender-foot. "Bucked?" said Three-finger, "Bucked? Go on! She only coughed." Many Animals Killed Large numbers of predatory animals were destroyed last year by federal forest officers in the national forests. More coyotes were slaughtered than coyotes killed by the federal forest killed. Wildcats were second in the casualty list; of those 533 meeting violent ends. Then came bears, the death-list being 240. Other animals killed in considerable numbers were wolves, lynxes, and mountain lions. More coyotes and the coyote forest were cleared of prairie dogs by the use of poison. Valuable Alaskan Dogs In Alaska where horsefisher is scare, dogs are used in farming operations.

Fittingly there the world will celebrate its greatest triumph, the Panama Canal, carefully gorgous and grand, this exposition, putting in the approximate $50,000, can be a simultaneously reveal to us the greater ahead and remind us, by the display of its wonderful exhibits, of the paths of progress. The Panama Canal is the completion of man's efforts after four centuries of trial, beginning with Christopher Columbus in 1492 and ending with our ex-president, Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. When future generations will review our history the Panama Canal will begin with Columbus and end with Theodore Roosevelt. The former gave the world its inspiration; the latter the canal. The greatest act of modern statesmanship we find in the deeds which gave us our canal. It means for the world a new era of trade and development. It means as much for the struggling masses of Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia and New Zealand as it does for the people of the north, south, east and west parts of North America. For all mankind it means the bringing of the nations closer together and a long history. The bringing of the two halves of the world together, the joining of the Orient and the Occident, reducing the distance by 8,000 miles. San Francisco was formerly 13,000 miles from opposite points on the eastern coast. Now it is 5,000 miles. Western American northews were as far north as Liverpool. We are now in the circle of New York trade. New York is nearer to the Orient than Liverpool. The Panama route dominates from New York outward in competition with the Suez route and Liverpool, northwest to include north China, east Russia and Pacific islands; southwest to include New Zealand and eastern Australia—All lands touched by Pa- ers and the East Indies, about the land surface of the populating a population of human race. via no un and W Sut to God Dem- second arms of of costly and grants freedom of OM VE STATE --- Events in the Social World—Bright, Crisp Itself from Cleveland—No News of Interest Is Overlooked by Our Regular Correspondent.

Eastern point of shipment must readjust themselves. The old monocules of Bremen and Bremen-Havre was sent to the new compulsion in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Russian dairy products for the first time reach New York through the Panama Canal. The transshipment of *feight* from the cast to the west coast of the United States for reshipment to Europe and Asia has been one of the principal reasons of industrial depression with us. J . . . . Man can never become richer than the soil he occupies, as all wealth is produced from the soil, and when the fertile tiers of America will not pay for the labor required in their development and cultivation you may not wonder that idleness is so prevalent while fertile acres so unscratched. Transportation is the keynote of modern progress. Can we wonder at the people of California, 3,000 miles from the people of New York, bonding their state for the sum of $17,500,000 to make this fact known to the world, and be due appreciation of the dawn of a new era of progress with them? Laws of trade and commerce are like unto us; the laws of gravitation—they follow the course of natural direction. For every dollar taxation taken from transport cost, the value of two dollars given unto the soil. The measures that are affected by this great gap may and must include all races. With the dawn of our new progress Jim Crow laws and exclusion acts become of less potential meaning with us, because they portend to political weakness and render impossible the higher achievements of progress. We must understand the Hindu, Japanese, Chinese, the African and all kindred races. We must know them, and in dealing with them our opportunity to become greater shall be measured by the wisdom of our lays.

Couldn't Fool the Dog A citizen of Bangor, Meo, has a skye terrier dog which has been taught to take a paper bag in his mouth and to a restaurant after his dinner. He goes to the door of the establishment and scratches the outside till he is in the kitchen. He trots down stairs and deposits his bag on the floor and waits patiently until some meat is placed in it, and returns to his owner. The other day the restaurant people placed some raw potato cuttings in the bag instead of meat and twisted it up as usual. The terrier did not discover the trick until he had reached the outside door of the restaurant, when he suddenly dropped the bag on the floor and it open and found out that he had been to the meat had been placed in the bag in plain sight, when he took up his dinner and trotted with it.

One may yet, in traveling through that northern land, come upon country hills and herders' huts, see women who never attended a "cooking school" and who over a jeet fire in the great chimney place, a griddle swung by a crane over the slow coats, baking a cake more than a foot in diameter, a tiny serving of a meal for the gods, and who made the big cake is ready for the turning which seize the griddle by the handle, give it a motion in the air, and turn that cake with an art motion not to be seen in any other place on earth, the big round slab turning a loop-the-loop and alighting with the other side down in the same place as before to the breadth of a slender stem of the heather.

Way Out of Difficulty Alice was paying a visit to her grandfather, whom she dearly loved. The morning after her arrival she entered the dining room with a small rosebud in her hand, remembering her grandfather's habit of always wearing a buttoniere. Beside her grandfather at the breakfast table was seated a young uncle of whom she stood in not a little awe because of his merciless teasing. "Good morning, Alice," said her grandfather as she appeared, "who is the rose for?" "She will give it to the one she loves the best," said her uncle in a gruff voice. Just an instant the little girl hesitated, then looking from one to the other, she said, "Walt, I'll get another." Hatched by Sunle Hoe Hatched by Sun's Heat.

ANDERSON" GRIPFIN DE PRIEST LLOYD DE PRIEST As the Good Ship Noars Port After Its Long Voyage, Captain Public Opinion Decides to Throw Off a Jonah or Two That Have Unnerved the Sailors (Sometimes Called Voters) Since the Voyage Began. A NUMBER OF SUPPOSEDLY POLITICAL MASS MEETINGS resolved themselves into mud throwing contests. There is never any thing gained by vilifying the other fellow, if you cannot succeed on your own merits it is time to gracefully withdraw. And after all the public generally sides with the injured every knocked him to be right. As paradoxical as it seems, truly criticism is a boost. On entering public life one must expect criticism just and unjust. If there be a skeleton hidden away in your closet your friends, the enemy, will bring him forth and parade him in all his glory. It is strange how familiar some people are with your pass, they recall vividly incidents shady and otherwise in your life that a had forgotten or only dimly recollect, and they not only recall them but dish them out to the anxious waiting public with all the frills that an imaginative mind can muster up. And a story never loses but gains by repetition, as every man, woman and child has personal reasons to believe. So to be specific why should Messrs. DePriest and Griffin, who aspire for the office of alderman, spend their precious time in vilifying and running down the other fellow? The main thing the public wishes to hear is their individual qualifications for the place, and what have they done to merit their vote and support? Those who know these two gentlemen know that they have many good qualities, and many friends who believe in their honesty and integrity. The Defender contrary to the accusations made by Louis B. Anderson's opponents, that we were exploiting him because "he was paying the piper" is as untrue as most of the other statements emanating from the same source. Under the most favorable circumstances we feel that the race will have tough sledding to put over a candidate, and have pointed out weeks ago the advisability of forgetting party lines and uniting on one man, the end would certainly justify the means. It must not be forgotten that the man we send to the co. neil is not being put there for life; perhaps we don't like him personally, if he has a chance let's boost him, we are the gainers in the long run. We repeat: We selected Louis B. Anderson as our standard bearer because inquestionably of the three men he is best fitted along all lines to represent us in such an important post. Judging from the hundreds of letters that have poured into this office we but voice the sentiments of the majority of the voters in the Second round. Let us not only put Louis B. Anderson over and prove that we can unite upon an important question, but let us give him such a rousing majority there will be no question about his election. SOUTHERN SCHOOLS. THE QUESTION OF EDUCATION of both white and black in the South is receiving a great deal of attention from thoughtful and forceful editorial writers. And the light thrown on the subject cannot help but be instrumental in changing conditions for the better in this part of our country. In glancing at the public schools of Atlanta for instance, it was found that out of 10,118 children of school age, but 2,924 were enrolled. For its 17,000 white children it furnishes thirty-eight grammar schools, a boys' high school, a girls' high school, a boys' technical high school, a girls' English commercial high school, and five night schools. Our children's school equipment consists of but eleven GRAMMAR schools, with eighty-two teachers against four hundred and twenty-six for the whites. With twice the facilities we have Atlanta would be only making a fair start in our behalf. It is evident that not only are the classes overcrowded but practically all on a half time basis. Hundreds of children are turned away each year because there is not even enough half time opportunities. As to salaries, our teachers receive but three-fifths as much as do the whites, while the same service is rendered. Atlanta by the way, is ranked too as one of the most progressive of oSouthern cities. It is not a creditable showing for a o-called "progressive" city, and yet if comparison were made with their Southern cities it would probably be found that Atlanta stood reasonably high. But the sad thing about it all is so much is expected of us in the way of advancement and behavior when so little opportunity is given to accomplish these things. The South still doubts the advisability of giving us an education, hence it is withheld as much as possible from us. The pathway under present conditions with the wall of prejudice against us is rather hard to tread, and we must in a great measure depend for salvation not on the white man but on philanthropists in our own race. We must have education at any cost. ADVERTISING SPELLS SUCCESS. A MAN UNDERSTANDS he seldom does advertising is generally known—not a bad one, advertising—then and only then will the mind of mind on the subject. Then it will be found orderly industry and not a game of it, the present idea of advertising. We ask the business world the importance and pulliness has not fully dawned on us. We open an appointment to our competitor across one line of goods or possibly a better line, of our competitor's store and leave our weeks have rolled around there is either a store or a "for rent" sign in the window, sold dollar cannot be sold for ninety cents, by some form of advertising. Our company sell and he let the people know through the newspaper. Special sales are among particles were offered at a tempting price, and the merchant was successful, all because and a little money to make a lot of money my business is too small to advertise." We accounted a failure. The biggest concerns were technically nothing, even a small advertisement grown into the ocean make a ripple that until it reaches some distant shore. And so I NOW is a good time for you to start a good time to sew a few dollar seeds in print worth while. It is no experiment, it is artise as it is to have stock on the shelves invert the latter into profit. Aside from the our business, it is well to remember that prizize you because they happen to be of our selling sentiment, but merchandise of the less as low if not lower than the other fellow success the Jews have made in this country should inspire us to pattern after them. We later fellow wants then and only then we are. There is but one road to success for the Jew saved with advertisements. WHAT A MAN UNDERSTANDS he seldom fears. When the truth about advertising is generally known—not a part of it to induce more advertising—then and only then will there be a decided change of mind on the subject. Then it will be looked upon as a regular and orderly industry and not a game of chance which is too generally the present idea of advertising. We as a people are so new in the business world the importance and pulling qualities of printer's ink, has not fully dawned on us. We open up shops and stores equal in appointment to our competitor across the way, and carry the same line of goods or possibly a better line, and yet customers crowd our competitor's store and leave ours empty, and before many weeks have rolled around there is either a sheriff's sale at your store or a "for rent" sign in the window. In this day and time a gold dollar cannot be sold for ninety cents unless a purchaser is found by some form of advertising. Our competitor had something to sell and he let the people know through a judiciously worded ad, in the newspaper. Special sales were announced, one or more staple articles were offered at a tempting price, buyers came in droves and the merchant was successful, all because he was not afraid to spend a little money to make a lot of money. The cry is often raised "my business is too small to advertise." Right then and there can be counted a failure. The biggest concerns we have started from practically nothing, even a small advertisement may like the pebble thrown into the ocean make a ripple that goes on, and on, and until it reaches some distant shore. And so Mr. Business Man, RIGHT NOW is a good time for you to start a little ripple of your own; a good time to sew a few dollar seeds in printer's ink and reap a harvest worth while. It is no experiment, it is just as necessary to advertise as it is to have stock on the shelves, it takes the former to convert the latter into profit. Aside from this important branch of your business, it is well to remember that people are not bound to patronize you because they happen to be of the same race, you are not selling sentiment, but merchandise of the best grade for the price, and as low if not lower than the other fellow across the way. The success the Jews have made in this country, as despised as they were, should inspire us to pattern after them. When we have what the other fellow wants then and only then we are able to dictate terms. There is but one road to success for the business man and that is paved with advertisements. SELLING VOTES IS A VERY CONSIDERABLE PURCHASE for the voters in this city, and it is to be kept upon the coming election and to severely punished. The prime offender, the man higher up, who furnishes money for electorate. Not many of the vote selling vote buyer, though it is a self-evident fact, vote unless some other man is willing to give two to make a bargain, and to say the more culpable than the buyer. We have been proven, that with a liberal dispensation of the compulsion of almost any election can be done in for a large share of the blame for these. We do not deserve as much blame as we get there are many offenders to be found in one way to exercise the right of the bailows. For the offender, the worst that can be too good. --- THERE IS A VERY CONSIDERABLE PURCHASABLE element among the voters in this city, and it is to be hoped a close watch will be kept upon the coming election and the offenders caught and severely punished. The prime offender in the vote market is the man higher up, who furnishes money for the corruption of the electorate. Not many of the vote selling probes have reached the vote buyer, though it is a self-evident fact that no man can sell his vote unless some other man is willing to buy it. Certainly it requires two to make a bargain, and to say the least about it the seller is more culpable than the buyer. We have been told, and it has been proven, that with a liberal dispensation of the coin of the realm, the complexion of almost any election can be changed. We as a race come in for a large share of the blame for these conditions. and while we do not deserve as much blame as we get, there is no doubt that there are many offenders to be found in our ranks. There is only one way to exercise the right of the ballot, and that every voter knows. For the offender, the worst that can happen to him is none too good.

MAN LOUIS B. ANDERSON doesn't so The Defender is utterly unable to say whether there will be an exposition in Chicago or not. The association conducting the affair are guarding the news in such a way that reporters for the Defender have conceded that they cannot reach the powers that be. There is one thing certain, in Chicago you cannot find fifty people who can tell you anything concerning it, save an itemized list of expenditures. 24 DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Patience Point in This Case. Feb. 14-Defender's Legal Helps I have a suit for damages in the Municipal Court and for a week have been going to court each day when my attorney says that my see is on call but not reached each day. I would like to be informed if such proceedings are usual? Answer: Such proceedings a you state are the every day happenings in the Municipal Court, as each judge now trying civil cases has o very many cases on the call that it takes more than a week, sometimes before a case is tried, although it is on the call each day. Some judges limit their calls to a certain number of cases, thereby saving many useless trips to court. Complicated Case. Complicated Case. Feb. 15—Defender's Legal Help— I was called to Chicago about ten days ago to attend my brother, who was very ill. I arrived Tuesday and found that he had been stricken with paralysis on Monday, the day before my arrival, and he was unable to recognize me or anyone when I arrived and remained in a state of unconsciousness until his death, which was Saturday and only four days after my arrival; his landlord obtained a license Wednesday while he was unconscious, and had a minister to perform a marriage ceremony. Now she claims all of his property as his wife. Have I as his sister any relief? I am a stranger here and don't live in this state. Answer: We advise you to consult an attorney as your case in one which needs to be thoroughly sifted, and if what you say is true, someone may be criminally punished. We will state, however, that upon the facts you state the marriage would be annulled, and as you are a non-resident heir, if your brother has no wife or children or father or mother who are residents of this state, then the public administrator will take charge of the estate until all contests are settled. Court Has Been Moved. Miss L. S. M.-No, the criminal branch of the Municipal Court in the district in which the party you desire the warrant for is not 35th and Halsted, but 47th place and Halsted street. There is no court now held at 35th and Halsted streets. FROM OUR EXCHANGES. TO BROTHER ABBOTT OF THE DEFENDER. Under the following caption, "Western Editors Must Not Show White Feather," Editor Abbott of the Chicago Defender, which by the way is Put Your R Back in Y You can OWN YOUR OWN pay the landlord You own Editor Abbott: You ask a very deep and most important question on your editorial page of your issue dated January 23. The question was "Is God dead?" This question, according to the matter that followed its headlines, had reference to the white and colored ministers and co-workers of the churches of Illinois falling to condemn locally or nationally in the city of Chicago and nightly in the city of Illinois in their churches, the barbarian机 that lynched the entirely at Monticello, Ga., during January. Well, as a minister it behooves me to attempt to answer your question, that the dead will kill, as a minister first, just and forever, say that God is not dead; but I will in your defense of your question that the white ministers as a whole—and it almost the same with the colored ministers—are dead when it comes to condemning lynching. The minister or preacher has the greatest weapon at his command or at his finger tips to condemn lynching and discriminatory laws that can be produced, and that is the Word of God, out of the Bible, through the pulpits, by all ministers white and colored. Editor Abbott, the question you ask the ministers is certainly the most vital question that could have been asked them, and again you show yourself the most perilous man among men to call the representatives of God to their duty, and there is no doubt that the messenger angels of God are still doing the task before the throne of God the God will. His church representatives to their duty in defence of justice for the black man, especially in America.
