COLORE WHERE IS ONEIDA DORN; MISSING SINCE MARCH 9 --- Little Four-Year-Old Girl Disappears From Vicinity of Parents' Home as Completely as if Earth Had Opened and Swallowed Her-Last Seen at 35th and Federal Streets. ONE SUSPECT ARRESTED. William D. Smith, Last Seen with Child Makes Conflicting Statements-Admits That He Saw Her and Told Her to Go Home-Parents Are Grief-Stricken. By Frank A. Young. Dear stricken one. The race will mourn with thee, Eyes fill with grief, and eyes with tears o'erswell: chn show Save she who bears and He who, gives the blow. On Tuesday, March 9th, little Oneida Dorn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dorn, 3146 Federal street, disappeared and has never been seen alive or死 since, as far as policemen, detectives and newspaper men can ascertain. They have looked for her everywhere. Every clue has been followed, but the disappearance of this little child of four years and seven months is still a mystery. Where is she? Her mother let her outdoors to play, between 10 and 11 a.m. She disappeared. Where God alone knows. However, there is one man behind the bars of the Stanton avenue police station charged with a serious offense, and the net is gradually being drawn close around him. He is William D. Smith, and the child was last seen with him by some women at the corner of Thirty-fifth and Federal. He was out of work and for a place to sleep and something to eat, he cleaned and took care of the Free Will Baptist Church, which is located at 2003 Federal street. Denies Seeing Her When the child was first missed the neighborhood was quickly aroused and when it was learned Smith was last seen with the child the parents went in immediate search of him and he was found at the church. He denied having seen her at first, and helped the father look for her. Then when he was confronted with the women saying they had seen him talking with the child he admitted that he had seen her and had sent her towards home. This was between Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth. Still pressed he finally admitted that he had been with her at Thirty-fifth. But nothing further would he admit. He began to tell conflicting stories. He was arrested early in the evening. He will tell the police nothing. Their third degree has failed up to the time we go to press to get any further statement. They are busy and every clue is being run down. Some who were with him claim he made the remark "that wherever the child was she was dead!" Is She Dead? Is she dead? Is she alive? If she is, where is she? Is it possible a little child could wander around without someone seeing or knowing? (Continued on page 7.) GEO. WASHINGTON'S LETTER HELPED PHYLLIS WHEATLEY First President's Missive, Thanking Her for Copy of Poems, Did Much Toward Bringing Her Works into Prominence — Pathetic Story of. Brilliant Slave Girl. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Los Angeles, Cal., March 12.—The various clubs and institutions erected by colored people, bearing the name of Phyllis Wheatley, the first Negro poet, usually have appropriate exercises February 22 for the purpose of reviving the memory of their name-sake, while commemorating the birthday of the first president of the country. To the well-informed Negro the name of George Washington invariably recalls that of Phyllis Wheatley, for General Washington's appreciation of the poems of Phyllis Wheatley did much towards bringing her works into prominence, writes Eloise Bibb Thompson in the Los Angeles Tribune General Washington's Letter. In reply to Phyllis Wheatley's poem, addressed to himself, General Washington wrote as follows: "Cambridge, 28 February, 1776. "Miss Phyllis: Your favor of 26 October did not reach my hands till the middle of December. . . .

Prince returned to the city Tuesday night and was greeted like a brother by his friend, Dr. M. J. Brown. Little over ten months ago, the physicians and surgeons of the city assembled at the De Luxa dining room and tendered the doctor a banquet, wishing him "God's speed" on his trip to Vienna, Austria-Hungary. On that occasion, Dr. Brown said his friend Prince would "make good." Dr. Prince said he would or report to God the reason why. When Dr. Prince arrived at his office, 3502 State street, Tuesday evening, the first thing he did was to exhibit his diploma from "Kinsley and Queenly University," children's department for Clinical Pharmacology, Vienna. Dr. Brown lit up with tears of joy. It became evident that Dr. Prince was the first physician of Chicago and the West to go abroad and return with a diploma. Others have gone abroad and returned only with a certificate. Picked Cotton In South. Dr. Prince was born in Clarksdale, Miss. When a boy he picked cotton. He went through the public schools and later entered Alcorn College. He spent a year at Mehany Medical College, but later came north and entered Northwestern Medical University, from which he graduated with honors.

(Special to Chicago Defender.) Los Angeles, Cal., March 12—Last Tuesday Supervisor Norton transmitted the interesting suggestion to the board that a civil service examination for two probation officers be called which shall be restricted to members of the colored race. The idea is that these officers shall be detailed for work among the colored people. Mr. Norton, who has been ill for the last two weeks, made the suggestion in the form of a communication to the board. The proposition appealed to the other members, but the question was raised as to whether the proposed examination could be restricted in this way. Deputy County Council Murphy said he was of the opinion that it could not, and he was instructed to file a written opinion on the subject. Another suggestion from Mr. Norton, that steps be taken to erect a girl's department at Juvenile hall, received the unanimous endorsement of the board, and it is expected that upon Mr. Norton's return to duty he will take up this matter. JOHN B. GASKIN LOSES SUIT AGAINST WHITE CEMETERY United States Supreme Court Declares That It Has No Jurisdiction in Long Drawn Out Suit Against Forest Home Cemetery—Death Knell of "Grave Yard Bill." Washington, D. C., March 12.—The United States Supreme Court in a decision handed, down this week closed the last chapter on the case instituted in Chicago over two years ago involving the right of John B. Gaskin to bury his wife in the Forest Home Cemetery, where he owned a lot and where his two children had already been buried. This was the first case that arose under what was known as the "grave yard bill," introduced and passed in the 47th General Assembly by Representative Green of the 1st district. It prohibited any discrimination in the "prices of graves" by cemetery on account of race or color. When the wife of Mr. Gaskin died he sought to bury her in the Forest Home Cemetery. Mr. Gaskin Starts Suit. The association owning the cemetery had passed rules limiting the burial to certain classes, which excluded the Afro-American. Mr. Gaskin immediately sought the courts by way of a suit to compel the cemetery to permit the burial. The new law was cited in support of his claim. After a lengthy hearing the lower court decided the law unconstitutional on the ground that there was no way by which it could be determined that the cemetery had "discriminated in the prices of graves" until it was first proven that sale and interment had been made. This, of course, could not be done. Carried to Higher Courts. The case was successively appealed to the Appellate Court of The Illinois District and State Supreme Court, with the same result. Chief Justice White of the United States Supreme Court, announcing the decision of that court, based the dismissal of the suit on the ground that the court was without jurisdiction. The present Afro-American members of the General Assembly might well take notice of this decision and draft a bill that will stand the test of the courts. REGISTER! REGISTER!!

STRUGGLE OF BRAVE MAN Modest Life-Saver Has Fierce Battle With Waves But Keeps On Until He Grabs Sinking Man—Daring Deed Is Talk of Country. (Special to Chicago Defender.) West Palm Beach, Fla., March 12.—This fashionable resort, whereat only the multimillionaires rusticate, is all excitement occasioned by the thrilling rescue of George W. Perkins, the great New York financier, from drowning by Henry W. Farmer, an Afro-American, who is employed here at one of the exclusive clubs. Mr. Perkins, accompanied by a party of rich New Yorkers, was out in the St. Lucie Inlet fishing. While thus engaged a squall suddenly arose and the gigantic waves soon capsized the electric launch in which they were seated. All of the party except Mr. Perkins reached a near-by launch and were quickly hauled on board. The current, which was unusually strong, was swiftly carrying Mr. Perkins out to sea. Farmer to the Rescue Partner to the Rescue. Young Farmer, who was in a row boat when the squall came up, saw the perilous position of Mr. Perkins and immediately jumped overboard and struck out for the struggling millionaire. Battlegain against the heavy waves, he swam with might and main, Mr. Perkins had twice been lost from view. Finally as his head showed the second time Farmer was in reach and, grasping the exhausted financier around the waist with one arm, he began his fight back to the shore freighted with the burden of the exhausted millionaire. Meanwhile the crowd of people on shore stood breathless. Struggles to Shore. Stroke by stroke he struggled, until finally he reached land with the mighty Wall street giant safely rescued from a watery grave. Mr. Perkins was hurried to his hotel and soon revived the excitement which came so near ending his earthly career. Farmer was immediately surrounded by the excited crowds and one of the ladies in her joy threw her arms about the neck of the modest son of ebony hair, shedding tears of joy as she expressed her gratitude for his bravery. Perkins Thanks Rescuer. Mr. Perkins, when seen at his hotel, expressed his profound gratitude for his benefactor and added that he would always keep in grateful memory this young hero. Mr. Farmer modestly bears his new and world-famed honor. He expressed himself as being pleased that he had the opportunity of rendering so great a service to one whom at that time he did not know stood so high in the world of affluence and influence. He said that the same service would have been rendered by him to the humbleest citizen in the community under like circumstances. Suggest Carnegie Medal. Already his daring deed has been taken into account by the impertinent people temporarily residing here. By unanimous consent of guests at "The Terrace," a resolution was passed expressive of the high estimate in which his bravery is held, and commending him to the trustees of the Carnegie Medal Fund for decoration and a substantial bonus. MAJOR JACKSON ON FIVE COMMITTEES Springfield, "II., March 12.—Wednesday, Speaker Shanahan announced the various committees. The G. O. P. received a large share of the important assignments. Major R. R. Jackson, representative from the Third Senatorial District, was appointed on the following committees: Military Affairs, Insurance, License and Miscellaneous, Revenue, Senatorial Appointment. Representative S. B. Turner from the First district was appointed on the following committees: Civil Service, Insurance, Liberal, Licenses and Miscellaneous, Public Utilities and Transportation. Special Party Taken to Tuskegee by Julius Rosenwald THE MEMBERS OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ASSOCIATION REV. E. W. THOMAS DID NOT RIDE IN Conductor Gets Sassy When Well-Known Clergymman Boards Train and Tells Him "Separate Cars Are Coming." Rev. E. W. Thomas of Indianapolis, Ind., was recently passing through Chicago to Youngstown, Ohio, when he was insulted by a conductor on a Chicago & Northwestern train. Rev. Thomas was about to board a car when the conductor yelled out: "Enter the first coach." After observing that it was a smoker Rev. Thomas replied: "I don't care to ride in a smoker." "Hum! You'll have to, if you are going to ride on this train," the conductor replied. It was useless for the conductor to speak in that manner, because Rev. Thomas knew his rights and entered the car he desired. No more words passed between the two until the conductor was collecting the tickets. On reaching Rev. Thomas the conductor snatched the ticket and examined it very closely for about three minutes. Nothing was wrong with the ticket, but the conductor had to say something and he passed the following insinuation: "The time is coming when we tell you people to go to a place, you will go, as we are going to have a separate car for you." This was quoted in the great metropolis of the North, in the State of Illinois. Just think of a conductor trying to Jim Crow without legal authority in a great city like Chicago. Such actions like these should be looked into and not allowed to be passed over without any protest whatever. No person identified with this intelligent and progressing race should allow any kind of an insnation like this. Any effort to deprive us of our rights even by inuendo should be referred to the authorities because such is against the Constitution of these United States and the statutes of the State of Illinois.

BS ROSENWALD TAKES NOTABLE PARTY TO TUSKEGEE Educators, Philanthropists, Social and Service Workers Visit Dr. Booker T. Washington and Famous Institute—Trip Made in Special Solid Steel Train. PART SPENDS THREE DAYS ON INSTITUTE GROUNDS. Visitors Make Interesting Speeches, Judge E. O. Brown, President Chicago Branch N. A. A. C. P., Carrying Off the Honors in an Address of Especial Importance. Tuskegee, Ala., March 12—Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, brought to Tuskegee Institute forty-two of the most important residents of the great city on Lake Michigan last week to attend the meeting of the Tuskegee Institute board of trustees and to inspect the various departments of the school. Included in the party were such persons as Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Miss Grace Abbott of the Immigrants' League, Dr. Jenkins Lloyd Jones, Mr. Julius Rosenwald and Mrs. Rosenwald, Judge George A. Carpenter, Judge E. O. Brown, Judge M. W. Pinkney and others equally noted. for civilization is not to spread more material wealth; it is the spirit which has a frank recognition of human brotherhood, which is bent upon doing, improving and doing good and being of service to your fellow men; or hating it is base and vile, and of persistently striving for justice. I be lieve that is the spirit which will and may you as you go out into the great world from this institution to benefit your race, and, in benefiting your race the whole human family." DR. CLAUDIUS BELL OPERATED ON Speeches of High Order The speeches made at Tuskegee Institute were of a very high order, particularly those of Mr. Rosenwald, Miss Addams, Judge Carpenter, Hon. Seth Low, chairman of the board of trustees, who came with another party, and Judge Brown. The Rosenwald party traveled in a solid steel train composed of engine, baggage car, parlor car and three Pullman compartment cars. Three days were spent on the grounds of the Tuskegee Institute. And the addresses was one of special importance delivered by Judge E. Q. Brown, president of the Chicago branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who spoke in full as follows: "I am just in that state of mind that I was exhorted to be by the choir—I am very humble. Since I have been here in Tuskegee I have learned so many things that I did not know before, have realized how very delicate the choir is, have realized the things, which I thought the very foundation of a good education, so that naturally I am humble. Like Judge Carpenter, I came here to see and to learn, and have no message to tell you, to give you, because the only message that is worth giving is constantly impressed upon you by your prince and your teachers, even if you try to do you should try to do well. War Depressed Spirit. Depressed spirit. "Dr. Washington pressed his great pleasure that the sun is shining today and has spoken of the fact that it has been raining before. Upon my word I hardly knew the difference. The sun has been shining in my heart ever since I have been here in Tuskegee. I am absolutely sincere in saying that it has been one of the most inspiring and enlightening incidents in my life. I have been beginning for the last month something new and not why why. Do you know what a pessimist is? He is a person who looks at everything through yellow spectacles and faunded eyes. I do not think I am naturally that disposition, but this cruel and, it seems to me, lessless war, which is going on on the other side of the Atlantic and involving most of the greatest nations in the course of mind which prevented me from taking a cheerful view of things and then I thought about the Negro question—the Negro race in which I have been very much interested for years. I began to look upon the dark side of things, and thought of the vulgar prejudices and unjust discriminations and things of that sort, which since I have been here seem to me of very small importance after all, for the stars in their courses are fighting for their lives and doing, and I have begun to change my pessimistic view of things to an optimistic one. "Just about the time I received the invitation from Mr. Rosenwald to accompany his party I received the Negro Year Book, printed and published in and sent from this institution, and I was amazed to read what I saw about the presence of the Negro race in the last fifty years. When I read that in 1863 the homes owned by the Negroes of the United States were 9,000, and in 1913—fifty years afterward—they were 550,000. I made a minute of that—it struck me as so significant. I read that the farms operated by Negroes in 1852 were 10,000, and in 1913 I do not believe in all the history of the world such progress has been made by any people or any race in fifty years. The cheerfulness, the optimism which I began to feel in a study of the book, which was to me so interesting and so wonderful, has been here in "Tuskegee." It is the greatest optimism breeding place that I ever saw. Pleased by Interest. "I never in my life, in any educational institution, in any school or college or university, saw what it seems to me to be such intense, serious interest in what the boys and girls are here for—such an intense and serious spirit. It is very little use to go to schools and colleges if you do not want to learn. There are boys sent to schools and colleges all over this country for the purpose apparently of spending their time and their money. It is not they who get the benefit. It is those boys and girls who come in themselves, upon moving themselves, upon learning, upon advantages which are put before them, and that, it seems to me, is the spirit of Tuskegee. "The spirit of Tuskegee also seems to be that of helpfulness. I remember reading the other day that a little colored girl won a prize in Cincinnati that was offered by somebody for the best essay upon how she could benefit her city—the community in which she lived; and she wrote a little short story about her life. She would try to benefit her city by the never to go higher on the ladder without bringing up somebody behind her. "I think the work which the graduates of this institution are doing is improving the whole Negro population of the country," he triumphs of civilization at this time. for civilization is not to spread more material wealth; it is the spirit which has a frank recognition of human brotherhood, which is bent upon doing, improving and doing good and being of service to your fellow men; of hating it is basse and vile, and of loving it is benevolent. You believe that the spirit which will amate you as you go out into the great world from this institution to benefit your race, and, in benefiting your race, the whole human family." DR. CLAUDIUS BELL OPERATED ON Monday at Provident Hospital, Dr. Claudius D. Bell was successfully operated on for appendicitis and gall stones. Dr. Claudius D. Bell and R. White were the operating surgeons. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. Dr. Claudius D. Bell. Dr. Bell was taken ill early last week and went to the hospital Saturday night. Late information from the hospital reports the popular young media plan as "recovering satisfactorily." DIES AT AGE OF 90 FUNERAL AT BETHEL Mrs. Harriet Jane Buckner, age 90 years, died a few weeks ago at her home, 3711 La Salle street. Her early days were spent in South Bend, Ind., the French family with whom she lived residing at Notre Dame, a frontier Catholic mission. When about 15 years old she left Indiana and went to John M. Browne, after the first met the A. M. E. church, who had then just graduated from Oberlin. Upon returning to her home in Detroit she found the young clergyman in charge of his first work there. A great following she was converted and united with the A. M. E. church. The revival was managed by one "Old Man" who was a long-time time she remained an earnest, faithful worker in the cause of Christ, wherever she went, always being a great helper to all the pastors assigned to Detroit, among whom were George C. Booth, Rev. Eneas McIntosh, Rev. W. S. Lankford and many others. She also aided in establishing a church at Racine, W. Ind., Pontine, Mills. She came to Chicago in 1869 and resided here ever since. Her funeral text—her own selection, was, "Let not your heart be troubled," and her favorite hymn, "I would not live always." Her funeral at Bethel church on Wednesday, the 3rd inst., was largely attended by the Courts of Horiones of Jericho, the Chapters of the Order of the Eastern Star and the Old Satters' Social Club. "Cold and Frost" was the host from the loved employ. The battle fought, the victory won; Enter thy Master's lov. WILL MONROE ILL. Famous Second Baseman Has Been Sick for Some Time. According to a letter received by Tom Cross, the comedian, Will Monroe, who has been a member of Foster's American Giants ball club for several years, is seriously ill at his house in Chattanooga. Tenn. Monroe is going south in the early fall and was hoped by his legion of friends and admirers that the change of climate would have had a favorable effect, but it seems to have been the reverse, and the letter is authority for the statement that Monroe has been a great friend to the giants and he is remembered here as being the greatest second baseman of modern times.

AMERICA'S NOTED AUTHORS TO MEET HERE IN AUGUST Local Committee Planning to Entertain National Association of Negro Authors and Writers in Lavish Style for Two Days During Summer Month. MORE THAN 100 INVITED. Promoters of Session Propose to Impress All Mankind with Literary Ability of the Race and to Make United Plea to Blot Out Race Prejudice. By Dr. M. A. Majors. Following close upon the heels of the National Medical Association of Negro Physicians and Surgeons at Chicago during the summer will convene the National Association of Negro Authors and Writers. The days selected are August 27 and 28. More than one hundred letters have been mailed to Negro authors, and some very hearty responses have been made. The local committee having the most hearty consists of Professor Richard T. Greener, Hon. George W. Ellis, Major R. Lynch, W. H. A. Moore, Hiram Halm, Henry David Middleton, secretary, and Dr. M. A. Majors, president. Purpose of Meeting. At this meeting it is proposed that the Negro shall impress the rest of mankind with his literary prowess, commanding the attention of all enlightened christendom while with poetic and literary grace he tells his story—a wonderful story; one that will carry the listener wherever "human thought has evolved an idea." The man, almost complete, covers a wide range of emotion and action. While abounding in the description and eloquent grandeur of the race's development from the moment Dutch trading vessels touched the mute shores of Virginia to the present half century anniversary, it will compass the universe in the scope of human knowledge, making no short cuts, offering no excuses, asking no abbreviated inspection, but allowing for the severest scrutiny and the most austere bloodless hearing. The serious aspect in the nature of this meeting is to determine, interpret, uncover, investigate, answer, to contend, and to protest. The general summary will embody an appeal to humankind to blot out race prejudice from the face of the earth. "If wished to our lesson (and what else enobles me? What else have angels learnt?)" There are no unbroken solitudes of human knowledge. The Negro has with no hesitant step explored the wide areas in the suspendous scheme of exhaustive study, sealed the great delights, spanned the abyssal gaps of seas, spanned the greatest depths and left his footsteps wherever the foot of any race has trodden. Some Authoritative Writers. Many books have been written by learned men of the race, and they have been read in all seriousness by searchers after truth. The old curiosity notion has long died its proper death. To know the scheme of sociology among the lowly read Dubois. He is an authority. To know the scheme of industrial education read Booker T. Washington. He is an authority. To know the history of the Negro race or the progress of the Negro read George W. Williams, E. A. Johnson or W. B. Crogman. They are authorities—not merely for the Negro, the Caucasian or the American, but both. Occasionally some very strange things happen among cultured people. Not many years ago a college class in a southern university went on a strike and threatened the faculty because a Greek grammar in the curriculum was the intellectual product of a Negro who had been a slave. The Story of Major Delancy The Story of Major Delaney. Major Martin R.

Delaney was one among several black boys who were denced college training in South Carolina in ante-bellum inso. in company with Robert Brown Elliott, Henry Highland Garnett, Alexander Crummlen, William Kells Brown and William McCune Strawberry, for England, where they matriculated. College, all of whom graduated and returned to America. One became a congressman, one a physician, one minister to Liberia, one an eminent Episcopal prelate, one a major in the United States army. Three of them became authors of books that today are creditable works in our libraries. a number of books of verse from the pena of very able scholars—Professor Kelly Miller's latest and greatest book, "Out of the House of Bondage"; by Dr. William A. Sinclair; "The Man Farthest Down," by Dr. Booker T. Washington; "Quest of the Silver Fleece," by Dr. W. E. B Dubois; "The Alarm of the War," by Dr. William J. W. Cromwell; "The Africa and the History of George W. Ellis"; "The Facts of the Reconstruction," by Major John R. Lynch; "The Year Book," by Professor Monroe N. Work. All of these literary efforts are written with but little meeting of graftifying sentiment, but to meet a pressing need of a race which for the first time cherishes a marvel and which delights in lipping the earth forbidden lips the language of the proud races. Mr. Charles W. Chestnut has written many books, "The House Behind the Cedars" and "The Marrow of Tradition" rank with the proudest efforts of narration by the celebrated men of the white race. Mr. William Stanley Braithwaite of Boston, who is a literary critic on the staff of Boston's leading journal, furnishes some peculiar food for reflection. It has been predicted in the very highest literary set of Boston that Mr. Braithwaite is destined to wear the mantle of literary lights. Chicago is not without its quota of men and women who forage along the literary pastures of thought and delight in the beauty of expression. Among them are Mr. W. H. A. Moore, whose poetry and prose have been accepted by the best journals of the country will read the ode. Then there is Mr. Henry David Middleton, who wrote the style of Paul Lawrence Durbridge who is the many of his stray gems who are mistaken for Dumbar's. Recently there have come up in Chicago two young men of dark complexion—the one Mr. Fenton Johnson, the other Mr. Hiram Holland—whose writings have created much interest among literary people all over the Holocaust. Mr. Hiram Holland that he is a poor, struggling young man who has a mind, a diction and eloquence that foreshadow a great future. Those Who Will Participate. Prominent among those who will participate in the meeting and some who have written their acceptance letters will be Mr. William Pickens, Mrs. Alice M Dunbar, Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, Professor Richard T. Greener, Mr. Charles Alexander, Mr. Isac C. Fisher, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Mrs. N. F. Mossell, Mrs. Moltel, Mr. H. H. A. Hon. George W. Ellis, Mr. W. H. A. Moore, Professor Monroe N. Work and Mr. James W. Johnson. The local committee that has the matter in hand is busy working out the minor details of the meeting and shaping affairs which will insure the comfort and social welfare of the distinguished men and women who will attend. Several of the big social clubs of the city will combine with the Texas Club, of which Dr. M. A. Majors is president, to tender them a banquet. SPORTING Binge. Dismond again plotted the Chicago University rugby team to first place last Friday in the state in their dual meet and in doing so he lowered the track record three-fifths of a second. Dismond won the quarter-mile event and set another record lowering the former one held by Davenport by one-fifth of a second. Fergerson for Ohio state was the other star of the evening. He won the mile and by so doing gave Ohio State its only first place. He ran third in the half-mile.

See Me At My NEW HOME!!! 3101 State Street NOW Adams the Tailor JACK JOHNSON'S PLEASANT VISIT TO BARBADOS People Take Keen Delight Unexpected Visit of World Champion and Crowds Thron Him Everywhere-Gives Exhib tion at Electric Theatre. Chicago Defender's Special Correspondent Writes Interesting Account of His Short Stay Among the Barbadians—Champion and Wife Go to Church. (Special Correspondence of The Chicago Defender.) Barbados, B. W. I, March 6—There are but few of the inhabitants of civilized countries uninterested in the occupation of fighting, because, at the present moment, millions of men are thus engaged and every day records of fights are sent out by cable. Quite unexpectedly, the privilege has been afforded Barbadians to see a celebratory fight, rather than a violent one, whose category as Kitchener, Joffre or French. The fighter whom we saw does not pit himself against masses of men but against individuals, nor does he fight with rifle or bayonet, but with the fists encased in leather. The man we refer to is Jack Johnson, the world's heavyweight champion. Many people had read of Jack's domicile in France, age 45, and had been called to come a Frenchman and, had been called to put aside the gloves and shoulder a rifle. This report was taken to be true till about a few weeks ago, when persons read that Jack had accepted a challenge to fight Joss Willard, a white hope in, Mexico. People here were a bit hazy as to Jack's whereabouts and it is safe to assume that no one suspected that the man was eye as a place whence he could proceed safely to his destination without jeopardizing his liberty. Jack in Buenos Aires. Well, Jack was in Buenos Aires, the capital of the Argentine Republic, South America, and wanted to get to Mexico at the earliest possible opportunity, and passages were taken by the steamer Highland Harris for Barbados by Jack and his suite. Thus it came to pass that on Sunday morning Mr. Johnson, his wife and suite found themselves in Carlsbad Bay, where Johnson was in Barbados the next day to spread far and wide, and, by the time he landed, a crowd bent on catching a glimpse of the celebrated boxer was there at the customs to welcome him to "Little England." From the customs Johnson and party went to the Marine Hotel, where rooms were engaged, and afterwards he returned to the city to transact certain business. Needless to say Johnson was sought after by press men who succeeded in obtaining interviews with him and capable manager of the London Electric Theatre, lost no time in electric proposition before the champion, namely, that he should appear at the theatre on the following night and give a boxing exhibition, to which Mr. Johnson readily consented. Attends Beltel Church. On Sunday night he and his wife took service at Beltel Wesleyan Chapel. Wishful of proceeding direct from here to his destination, Johnson came to town on Monday to negotiate by Messrs. Hope, Ross & Co. on charter his schooner, the Yolanda, to take himself and party on, and the crowds that followed his automobile were so great that a guard of honor comprised of mounted policemen escorted him all about. Monday night the accommodation at the theatre was insufficient to seat the audience and arrange for a crowd to assemble around High Street and to have a look at the champion. The show started at 8:15, and pictures of the Johnson-Moran fight were projected on the screen and life-size portraits of the champion followed about by crowds of a size like ours. Then Mr. Branker announced that Mr. Johnson's manager, Mr. Cummins, would introduce him to the audience, and then that was done the champion appeared and was greeted with tremulous praise. He addressed the meeting calmly and deliberately and stated that he was proud of the ovation that had been given him. He spoke of his travels, of the period he had been fighting, of his fighting in Australia, of his determination to always fight on the square and of the impending to take place at Jaurez, and of his intention to leave Barbades the following evening, anyone who did not think that he was entitled to assume the title of champion to come forward and contest it, after which he and his partner gave a boxing exhibition. 4. Everyone is Please. A Triakidian also put on. on the gloves and stood up before Johnson, but while he is to be commended for his pluck, the man said that he had not a ghost's chance. To go away from the champion's playful taps he seek'd refuge repeatedly in the wings, and then the audience would shout, "Bring him out, Jack," and, just as a knight plays with a mouse, Jack would play with him. Johnson's physique and strength are remarkable and evoked the admiration of all. To show to what extent the muscles of his chest are developed Johnson allowed his trainer to land blow after blow on his tummy without showing the least sign that he had been affected. In fact, he only smiled broadly. Every event he pleased with the exhibition and Mr. Kuznetsov be congratulated on the move that he made in getting the champion to consent to appear on the local footboards. On leaving the court Jack was recorded a hearty send-off and when he visited the city Tuesday people never tired of flocking around his automobile wherever it stopped. WHERE REAL PEACH. Opinion on unanimous that part portraits of the which had been printed in the papers were grossly libelous, and everyone was lavished in the admiration of his wife, who can be described as a real peach. The arrangements for chartering the Yolanda fell through and another schooner was engaged and Jack appeared at the theatre again on Tuesday night. Wednesday morning, in obedience to a forthwith summons, Jack appeared before judges of the Assistant Court of Appeal to defend Smith brought against him for breach of contract. The court was that Jack left the court a winner without an effort. After transacting his business he and party finally left these shores about 3:30 p. m. Wednesday and boarded the American four-masted schooner Henry Kregar for Cienfuegos, Cuba. NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE FRATERNAL WORLD Mayflower Temple of S. M.

Headed by Ocewald rison Villard Gete Film' Comp Warned Against Using "The B of a Nation." (Special to Chicago Defender.) New York, March 2, 1915—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has scored a real triumph in New York in succeeding in getting the National Board of Censorship to reverse its approval of the moving picture film called "The Birth of a Nation," which is based on Thomas Dixon's "Clasman." In connection with the difficulty in the National Association met with having objectionable film censored, it is important to note the action taken in Atlanta, Ga., in regard to "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which has recently been produced there in moving pictures. To suit the Southern community the name of the production had to be changed to "Old Plantation Folk" and all disagreeable scenes cut out, such as the whipping post. Legge is not so almost a saint. In justifying Mrs. Joseph Morgan at Atlanta, president of the Players, says, "Nobody has any right to come here and stir up sectional prejudice by offering such a play. The play recalls all the things we have been trying to forget." ```markdown ``` SAN FRANCISCO PROTESTS AGAINST "CLANSMAN." REMOVAL Dr. James R. White, Physician and Surgeon, and Dr. A. C.

THE HIGH-BROWN We have opened "The High-Brown" display room No. 5, at 3519 State Street, for the purpose of showing you the ORIGINAL as there are many imitations on the market sold under such names as "Brown Face Powder," "Brown Skin," and similar names. HIGH-BROWN FACE POWDER was originated by us—we have the name copyrighted in the United States Patent Office, and it is the first and only face powder ever made especially for colored people. Only first class articles are imitated—the very fact that so many imitate our articles is proof in itself that ours is of a superior quality. When you buy a face powder for a "High-Brown" that has not the name Overton-Hygienic on it, you have been imposed upon; for you have bought an imitation, which is inferior to our original "High-Brown." See that our name is on every box you buy. Also Manufacturers of Ro-Zol Face Bleach, Aida Overton Walker Hair Pomade and Other Toilet Articles. BUY-A-BOOK IS NEW METHOD TO PROMOTE CULTURE Prominent Newspapers Support Movement to Encourage Authors and Acquaint People with the Worthy Literary Efforts of Their Own Race. WORKS OF KELLY MILLER Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Howard University, Washington, D. C., is Author of "Out of the House of Bondage," "Race Adjustment," and Other Interesting Volumes. By Eloise' Bibb Thompson, Contributing Editor. Los Angeles, Cal., March 12.—From a desire to develop an active book business among themselves and to encourage colored authors to continue giving to the public their experiences and interpretations of events that affect their race the colored people have inaugurated a "buy-a-book movement" which is advocated by the principal formulated to have every family and every single man and woman buy at least one book written by a colored author during the year 1915. A bibliography of the worth-whiles books. O Professor Kelly Miller, tending to both instruct and stimulate the colored people to greater effort, broad in an optimistic view of the future, is generally appended by the inciters of the movement. Particular stress is placed upon the works of Professor Kelly Miller, dean of the college of arts and sciences, Howard University, Washington, D. C. The hopefulness of Professor Miller's outlook on the Negro's future is exemplified in his poem, "I see And Am satisfied," which appeared some time ago in the independent Magazine. Then some of the incidents of theabolium times and those subsequent the poem closes with these words: "The great, generous American heart, despite the temporary flutter, Will finally beat true to the higher human impulse, And my soul abounds with reassurance and hope." Poet Miller's Career. About fifty years ago Professor Kelly Miller was born in Fairfield county, South Carolina, where he was regarded as the best cotton picker among all the boys of his age in his neighborhood. Although assisting the family in this way during the cotton season, he nevertheless attended the pubs and short three months' session. But that long enough for him to give indications of a brilliant mathematical mind, and he was encouraged to attend Fair- Middle institute, which he did, walking two miles to and from school every day. Having been awarded a scholarship by the faculty of Fairfield Institute, he was enabled to enter Howard University, Washington, D. C., where he graduated a few years later with the degree of B. A. He afterward spent two years in John Hopkins University, Baltimore. A year later found him teaching mathematics in the Washington high school, District of Columbia, from which position he was called very soon to the chair of mathematics of Howard University, filling it with honor for a period of eighteen years, when he was elected dean of the college, and sciences of the same university, and working in office the late Dr. F. W. Fainley, died in Los Angeles and who has been placed at that time on the Carnegie foundation with a liberal allowance for life. The president of Howard University in announcing the election of Professor Miller to the responsible position of dean of one of the most important departments of the university paid a high tribute to the exalted character of the latter, his recognized scholarship and universal reputation as an author, together with his knowledge of young men and women gained during his long term of faithful and capable service in the institution. Platform Orator Besides being a regular contributor to some of the leading magazines and periodicals of the country Professor Miller is a platform orator of acknowledged ability whose forceful addresses have been enjoyed by cultured audiences in the principal cities of the East and West. His address last year before the Union League Club of Los Angeles brought forth some flattering comments from the local press. His latest works are: "Race Adjustment," published in 1918; "Out of the House of Bondage," in 1918; "His an Open Letter to Thomas Dixon, Jr.," and a monograph for the United States bureau of education of exceptional value, written some years ago. In the words of an eminent American sociologist, "Professor Miller is a clean-hearted, cleartighted man of forceful personality, an inspirer of youth, a leader of his people, and one who is coming slowly to be recognized as a notable American."

MAGAZINE WRITER PRAISES HOMES AND THRIFT OF NEW YORKERS Neighborhood, Thickly Populated by Race Called "Wholesome City"—Clean and Comfortable Residences Above the Average—Professional and Business People Prosper. Los Angeles, Cal., March 12—In an issue of the Outlook published a short time ago E. F. Dyckoff has devoted several pages to a description of A Negro City in New York. After comparing the population of this community with the inhabitants of Dallas, Texas, or Springfield, Mass. Mr. Dyckoff states the progress which these colored New Yorkers have made during the last twelve years. "If one stands at the corner of One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street and Fifth avenue," he tells us, "in four directions can be seen rows of apartments or flat houses, all inhabited by Negroes. This is virtually the center of the community. The houses are in good repair, windows, entrances, halls, and rooms are clean, and the houses comfortably are able inside to a degree often found in a workingman's locality. The ground floor of the buildings in every case is occupied by a store or business office. Here and there one sees the name of some nationally known firm whose agent, always a Negro, has opened a branch business among his people. From the juncture of One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street and Fifth avenue, the business signs of individuals and firms whose interests reach an aggregate of $4,000,000." After a brief account to how this colony was established, Mr. Dyckoff then refers to the 1,500 private houses situated in this community of tenements and apartments, "of very good grade," one of which valued at $50,000 was recently purchased by a prominent member of this settlement. Advertising to the professional class, he tells us that such colleges as Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, etc., are represented in the twenty physicians and eight dentists of the community. As an example of the success which the real estate firms in this settlement are making he makes mention of Messrs. Nail and Parker and the management of about eighty parcel of real estate, including St. Phillip's Church, which is valued of more than $1,000,000, collect over $25,000 a mouth in rent. Y. M. C. A.

The Villa Dancing Class, under the instructions of Prof. R. E. Moore, Jr. held its initial affair Tuesday evening from eight to twelve at the Carter Villa and proved a big success. Many of Chicago's fashionable people were present and they all showed an unusual interest in trying to master the dances. Among the new dances in the dances in Chicago was the "Villa Gilbert" creation of Mrs. Moore's, who is an able assistant to her husband. THE APPAMATTOX PLATE DANCE Saturday night, March 6th, marked the high water of entertainments given by the Appamattox Club for its members during the winter season, and from the general impression and expression of the members, they are ready for a "cabaret" any old time, and most of them want the same, but it costs twice as much them, even if it costs more to maintain them, even the Plate Dance all the married men saw visions of high life, of younger days, which every one of them seemed to appreciate more so than the single man. Balling the Jack was given a perfect demonstration in every detail, to the utter satisfaction of all. Editor Taylor sent in his regrets, as he had to keep up with the end, as did J. B. M. Fossey, for before the performance began, for it was rumored that he, too, got orders from the front. Mr. Geo. Walker should be kept home, also Mr. Thes.

Mr. Jas. M. Woodard were smoked glasses on account of his eyes, but when the "plate dance" was put on he was seen to fold them up and put them into his pocket. Col. John R. Marshall and Maj. R. R.

She rendered the following high-class program: A Message to Phillis, "Gilbert," a song from the Back to the Pinewood, H. T. Burke, Summer Idol, "ColoridleTaylor," A "Proposal," "Jes a Lil While," S.

Sunday night she sang at the Sharp Park Chapel, where she packed a house. In the spring she will make a tour in the South. The social features of Miss Walker's brief sojourn in Washington were notable. After the concert at Lincoln Temple an informal reception was held and all had an opportunity to have a word with her. She likes to meet people and the people invariably fall in love with her. Long residence in Paris and intimate contact with the people classes there have given her a delightful accent which has become a part of her mesphere of the salon that is piquant and refreshing. Automobile sightseeing tours of the city each day pleased her greatly. Saturday evening she was the theater guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. W.

North Commercial avenue is on the sick Spring Suits. The greatest interest at this season is the spring suit. It being the dress, wardrobe, much depends upon its choice at the time of purchase. So far it may be said two general classes of suits are to be most worn, those that The greatest interest at this season is the spring suit. It being the mainstay in the wardrobe, much depends upon its choice at the time of purchase. So far it may be said that two general classes of costs Eva L. Simpson are to be made worn, those that give the short effect and those that come to the hip line. Most hip modets have a flare with high belt effect. This classification omits the important belted and pocketed suit on the Norfolk order, which has been prevalent since late winter. However, this suit is in a class by itself, for while by no means restricted to the country, it is not a standard expect, it nevertheless shows no particular features that are indicative of the mode as a whole, although its varieties of style are legion. There is no doubt that the new suits are practically all attractive and wearable, which very fortunately allows for varying variations to suit individuals. Top Coats. A covert cloth coat for spring omits no feature of the latest mode, having the lifted waist belt, the flaring skirt, the tube sleeve, the high collar, and the novel way of having the buttons down. The new buck-skin covert, or checked covert cloth needs no sponsor for its suitability, for the top coat is very obvious. An evening wrap, made circular in back, belted and pulled in front, is indeed smart in any medium weight fabric. It is also very even taffetta. Some models are shown trimmed with oriental stitchery. By no means disguise your capes for they are to be worn as much for evening as over, a voluminous black satin cape trimmed with an old-fashioned puffed band and lined with ivory satin and a cozy incoming background for a light frock. One Piece Frocks. There is no diminution of the fashion for the one-piece frock. I do not mean that the one-piece frock should be necessarily cut in one piece, but a costume which gives that effect, it may be in two-or three pieces—just that it gives the desired effect. Many frocks with the wide silhouette of the frock are quite unique, especially when they are with figured taffeta. Fashion seems divided in its choice between satin and taffeta. Both are being used to develop the quintet little dancing frocks, dinner or afternoon dress. Brocades are still liked and it is very likely they will continue in popular favor for some time to come. Much white is to be worn, white combined with silver or gold are the most fashionable for the gata gown for the summer, while less brilliant in the evening modes, the less color schemes, though, are wonderful. A very charming frock recently exhibited was of canary tafetta, having the lifted waist line, puffed sleeves very short, trimmed with a tiny edge of smugged braid, the bodice being in tight, short sleeves of glauca of Royal purple velvet, extending over the left hip in a finished bow. A striking model was a black and white striped satin, having the skirt in graduating tucks. The waist of black silk net, high collar rolling to a low finish in front, long tight sleeves, wide sleeves, high collar and sash. Wide girdles, sashs held and will play an important part in milady's wardrobe this spring and summer. An effective mode was of old Rose silk net, flaring over skirt over a very full satin dress, the bodice being surplus offer, a single strand of large girdles finished the high waist line a twine in, some shaded tape to a point in back, with streamers to the bottom of tute. Very pretty was an all face affair made in tiers, with a quaint finish of black velvet ribbon one-half inch wide around the waist line and sleeves. Very low neck, the neck being round, velvet goes around the waist twice. Millinery. We see both the small and wide brim hats in Milan in the much favored shades of sand and putty color. There are also many of the shiny, high lustered straws of a coarser braid in black and bright shades. The Gaby Bonnet is very good lookin' with Milan straw and grograin ribbon, trimmed with a single cockade. The lemonshaw sailors are effectively trimmed with small wings placed at an angle. A very pretty model had the black straw brim, crown of white leather, tailored of bows of with a finish of a black jet buckle in front. Very chic. Note in spring millinery headwear is the thick black headband on the head so that the back of the hair and neck is seen. There is little or no trimming. A feather or ribbon "signal" perched on the edge of the brim, while odd tiny wheels and small military novelties are considered quite sufficient ornamentation for hats on the turban order, while the hats of the broad brim, themselves with wide facings, can roes or a cluster of any desired flower. For the more dressy models the quaint bonnet more like the Dutch cap. They are becoming very popular and are indeed pretty, made up with lace, flowers and wreathes. The streamers and cuffs are very stylish. One Dutch bonnet shape recently seen had a wide band of dark blue velvet ribbon around the crown, being held in front by a dull gold buckle. There was no other trimming except the tie strings of narrow velvet ribbon that had been knotted a pink rosebud. Accessories. The small accessories to smart dress are so necessary to trimness that it is really an essential as well as an accessory. The mere addition of a collar or a sleeve to a costume will rejuvenate it and will make it touch here and there that mark a frock of the new season. Waist coat are to be worn under the suit coat. They are very similar to the costumes of last winter. One can always fashion them to their best liking. All sleeves in blouses are set in; the standby kimono is somewhat in the background except on an occasional evening mode. Even then it is hit by some drapery or other. Buttons, pockets, straps, leather belts will add to the making of a smart frock. --- BY MCKINLEY NORTHCUTT Clyde Manogue, Tenn.

A member of the Big Stove club of Bath, Me, told the following experience with a sea serpent. He was at a beach in Long Island sound when he heard a swishing sound behind his vessel. Peering behind he could just make out the long, skinny body of a sea serpent, and seeing a pair of flashing eyes. The serpent, however, kept his distance. The next morning the sailor found that a rope from the schooner had become entangled in a trap and had 'towed it up the sound.

WASHINGTON'S LETTER TO PHYLLIS WHEATLEY (Continued from page 1) "If you should ever come to Cambridge, or near headquarters, I shall be happy to see a person so favored by the muses, and to whom I am proud and beneficent in their dispenations. I am, with great respect, your humble servant. "GEORGE WASHINGTON" In the Library of American Literature is found one of Phyllis Wheatley's poems, "Dartmouth, in which she uttered to the misery which she experienced when snatched at the age of 7 from the home of her parents in Africa and brought to the shores of Massachusetts, where she was sold as a slave." She was partially by the crowd of slaves about to be sold in the Massachusetts slave market, the modest, intelligent department of the Little 7-year-old black girl so attracted a prospective buyer, Mrs. John Wheatley, that she was sent to the slave market, others. It was not very long before Mrs. Wheatley discovered that her little slave, whom she had named Phyllis, had a great desire to learn to read. Educated as Experiment Deloitte asked her her day, that the African was incapable of culture, she conceived the idea of attempting to educate this black child for the purpose of experimenting. At the end of a year's time those who knew Phyllis had gained sufficient mastery of the English language to enable her to read some of the most important portions of the book, to accept learning at the end of three more years were such that Boston's intellectual lights of that day, hearing of this remarkable slave, the poems that she wrote and her adaptability to the language, frequently to the home of Mrs. Wheatley, where Phyllis talked intelligently with them on some of the popular subjects of the time. Her skill in Latin was a major factor in the translation of one of Ovid's stories published in an English magazine. Phyllis Goes to Europe Although exceedingly attached to Phyllis, Mrs. Wheatley emancipated her at the age of 21 and made possible for her a trip to Europe, where this experience gave her a great sensation than in America and that indulgence of several distinguished men Phyllis Wheatley's verses were published in London in 1737. At the early age of 31 she passed away and was buried by the cultured of both continents. DEFENSE OF "DEAD LINE" IS CALLED RACE RIOT (Continued from page 1.)

The spectators, some being the mothers and fathers of the combatants, looked on, laughed, and at times urged the warring factions to finally, in an act, someone turned in a fire and before the police could respond the boys had "fought it out" and retreated to their respective homes.

Boldier Tells How Company of Twelve Men Hold a Blockhouse Against the Enemy, and of the Ruse They Employed. In Mike in the Legion "inside story of his first service in the French Foreign Legion by Frederick K. Woldner," I told the writer how the soldier told the writer how the man in his general's clothing caused him to win a general's award. He was given a medal and a punishment for his negligence against the desert a blockhouse guarded by twelve men. It wasn't long before the Gulad-Sheikh Arabs made us busy as we wanted to be. We had a good supply of milk; Christmas day. I got four or five liters; wanted to sleep a long time; I didn't. it a chance, because in the middle "if the night the sergeant, who was a poor man at drink, came and shook us until we were roused up and we heard the bugle on the roof cracking his lungs with the "rouse," the "alarm" and the "regimental force." We bounded up to the roof with our rifles in our hands, but no trousers on our legs, and lined up at the "ready." "Good," said the sergeant, "I was afraid that you were all too drunk. I came up to smoke a pipe and found the sentry had gone to bed and been a bad job for us if I had wanted that pipe. Look there!" and he pointed to the borders of the oasis where we saw moving figures and plenty of them. "I had the alarm that they caught the monkeys that they can't catch the asele, and the regimental cell would be blown on the off chance that it would be heard in Raael-Chel, telling the company that there is business going on. It was nearly seven o'clock before they came. It was good that they didn't start earlier, for there were several hundreds of them with modern trees. They climbed up into the palm trees and gave us a better chance at them for we couldn't miss birds of that size. Every shot we fired brought one down. Our bugler was the first to lose his number. He was shot through the head and stood in the angle of the parapet and in the standing as if he were effective. That gave us an idea, and as each man fell afterwards we propped him up with a bayonet behind and stood over him. The sergeant went out we stuck his pipe in his mouth and he looked regular lifelike, only more determined. So there was a row of dead men guarding the entrance, and they looked so calm and composed. Seyght evidently thought it would be too risky to come to close quarters with us. They gave us the fight in disgust, so when our company came in there there was nothing to do. "Brave fellows, you have saved the post," the our captain, as he embraced the corporal and myself, the worthy man and the banding. It was that saved the post. It was those others that he didn't embrace. The company marched past that line of dead defenders and saluted them. I got I wanted. I got this bit of comrades. Camphor in the Philippines The bureau of science of the Philippine government is make a study of the plant known as Ilumae, basilamira, known by the natives in the Philippines as "sambon" or "gabun", which produces camphor. The shrub is one of the most common weeds in the Philippines, grown from five to eight feet high, with light, woody in texture, and has long been used by the natives of the Philippines as well by natives of China for medical purposes.

War Correspondents: Yankees About Pento Went Close to the Light in Nature Faking. One of the one American war correspondents who really saw some of the European war in its first stages was coming home on the Lutonia not many trips ago. He hat at the purser's table, and the purser one evening told a friend that he had been on a ship that once passed through a school of whales in mid-ocean. "All of them were sage alpine," said the purser with a wind to an acquaintance of my father, snoring. The name was deafening. "It must have been," said the correspondent; "but when I was a boy out in Cincinnati, Ohio, there got to be a whistling whale that lived in the ocean where my name was Pento and he would answer to—answer by whistling. You see, his blow hole was clogged with barracades and every time he spatheed he was a sound like a siren on a fire-bolt. "Ponto was a great perk with all the ships that traded in and of Gincinnati. The pilots got to know him, and they were enterprising port and port shipmen, who would signal him and he would signal back, always giving the correct number of blasts. But his dead now — poor old ponto: "Ponto was coming in from Covington, Kentucky, and Ponto tried to pass her, headed out. But he got confused and gave the whistle for going to the port side when he meant to go home. Ponto hid him down and stove in part of his compartments, and he sank in nine minutes, whistling for help to the very best."

The most famous of the military airships the Golmur and Perval models are equipped with wireless apparatus of much greater power than ever before. The wireless instruments are diffused and received by an ornate made of a three-millimeter rises in unwound from a spool to full length of 750 feet, and that when the airship is floated freely in the air. The apparatus itself is very compact; with its small dynamite it weighs 270 pounds. It has a minimum of wireless waves from one to four times and feet long. According to the Wireless World, every large aeroplane in Germany has its wireless station; those at important centers like Cologne, Cologne, Friedrichsheim, Frankfurt, Germany, are powerful. Taken together, they form continuous ring round the borders of Germany, and keep German airships in constant touch with a German airplane. They also serve as a sort of wireless compass, for they enable the aviating crew to find and hand to fix their position with more than a fair degree of accuracy—cath's Companion. Net Encouraging Mr. Taft, ex-president of the United States, is a gifted writer, and at one time he had a high reputation as a poet, says London TILBURs. On one occasion, however, when he was a very young man, he struck such an esteemed relative of him. This was an anist who lived in the country, and the future president went oine with her one Sunday evening, "boudly he carried with him some cuttings from a newspaper—nothing less, a fact, then his own published verses, the meal he took them exultantly, the meal he taken and gave them to his aunt to read. Adjusting her spectacles, she went through them carefully, while her oeilical nephew watched her anxiously. Presently she put down the cuttings and glanced over her spectacles at "William," she asked, innocently, do they print those things "for nothing if you send them in?" She Didn't Want Him At a Salvation army congress some excellent stories were told. One of the best, a favorite of General Hoolbill, related to a certain bounty gift into the hands of the Salvation army "He had been drunk so long," said he general "that he was able to give it very little information about him." He told me that he was married and that his deserved wife lived in a town in the Midlands. We immediately teledraphed to her: "We have found your husband." A very short time we got the reply: "You can keep him!" New Nature Story The strange sight of pigeons swimming over the surface of a lake is recorded by a foreign publication. It is said to have occurred in Holland. The birds are ordinary domestic pigeons, but some time ago one of them fell into the water and was rescued by a human spectator. After this it was noted that all the birds acquired a familiarity with the water, and soon were seen making their way into it. They were then observed to if bread floating on the surface, the birds were coaxed into the water, and soon acquired the art of swimming. Hornets Did the Work. Daniel Sapp of Gardenville, Mo., after losing many bees because of the appetite of a bee martin, placed a large hornets' nest over the hives.

HAD NO USE FOR EDUCATION Old Gentleman Deplyly Resented the Deception of Which He Had Been a Victim. There was a man about forty years old scatched on the fence in front of the house and swinging his legs as he smoked, and as I halted and discussed about the road ahead, he asked: "Stranger, be you what is called an educed man?" "I have something of an education," I said, as I noticed how grim he looked. "Then I don't want nuthin' to say to you," he continued, as he settled back. "Perhaps you are down on education?" "Perhaps I am, am. Yes, sah, I don't want nuthin' to do with them kind 'critters." You suffered any injury at their hands?" Hev! I Wall, now, you climb up yere and take a look over that field.

Importance of Manners Manners are of more importance than laws. Upon them, in a great measure, the laws depend.

Huge Sugar Industry When it is stated that more than one hundred million dollars is invested in the beet sugar industry in the United States, it may be understood that the beet sugar industry in Germany is of considerable importance. The first beet sugar factory in America was built in Philadelphia in 1830, but it did not prove a success. The first successful factory was started in 1870 at Alvarado, Cal. It was in continuous operation until it was torn down a couple of years ago. LAMAS DRAW FRIGHTFUL PICTURES OF THE FIENDS. All Mifortunes, Individual and Natural, Are Ascribed to Them—May, However, Be Fought and Killed With Swords. F. N. Nicholas, reporting to the Geographical society on laminase Life in Tibet, says: "Fantastic and aburd as laminase is, there is, with one exception, nothing more than to western ethics. That one exception is the belief in the "Dre," or devils. Somewhere in the lowest hell, Sangee has chained the chief devil, whose name is Satin-tze or Satin-tzu. This is a form of this kind of flesh are in every temple. They are made as horrible and revolting to Tibetan ingenuity will permit. Although Satin-tzu is a prisoner, he has under his control legions of lesser business it is to harass humanity. Lamptist devils do not tempt men as the Christian devil does. Temptation, according to the lamas, is merely the result of a man-murting his back on a lama, injuring his肋骨 and destroying mankind's misfortunes of life are the work of the "Dre sickness." Business, misfortune and calamities, both individual and national, are caused by devils. They are not only "personal," but alsorammy. They are not only "personal," but alsorammy. They have seen a devil and has had a personal encounter with him. Devils hate lama because of their pity, and take, especial delight in attacking them. Devils are greatly afraid of lamas, and clauses a Thetian ride was fired three times every day to scare the devils. They may be fight and killed with swords. More than one lama has told me how he has slain a devil. My only unpleasant experience in the past was resulted from the belief in devils. Sudene suddenly ran anuck one afternoon. He stripped himself to the waist, drew his sword and shouted that devils were fighting against him. He pulled his sword and pulled to sit on Sudene's chest for nearly an hour before he returned to a normal state. I promptly discharged him and sent him to Ta Chien Lo. The direct cause of the outbreak was his secret smoking of opium in cellars, incinerations and his peculiar manner are traceable, I believe, to the morbid talk of the lamas about devils and incarnations and Muh-nga, and all the rest of it. He servant, Yichi, walked in his sleep one night and fell down stairs. On the following evening, when Keno dropped in for a little chat around the hope, Yichi turned to him as to a father confessor and told him how a devil had gripped him and hurried him downstairs. The Keno looked worried and said that the Dre were evidently at their old tricks again and were hovering about the lamasory. He advised me to fire my three times. I did so, and this he measured the Keno and Yichi. Later Yichl described to me the devil's appearance. It was precisely the same as the horrid picture of the devil, the one he described of the residence of the Living Buddha. Yichl looked and shuddered at the picture so often that it had at last developed into a nightmare. He was able to get on the nerves of any man who takes it too seriously. If the average American believed as lamas do and lived their sort of life, he would be surprised by a unnatural asylum within six months. Success of Typhoid Inoculation Success of Typhoid inoculation. Sir Frederick Treves, pr id at the University of London, caused the Station of Doctor Sandwich's Chadwick on "War and Disease", was able to bear witness to the remarkable sanitary conditions under which the present war is being waged. Particularly did he indulge the value of inoculation for typhoid, by which means that great danger to armies in the war was avoided. Sir Frederick was, in fact, able to state that not a single inoculated man had died of typhoid in the British expeditionary force, and that there had only been 212 cases of typhoid, with 22 deaths. When we remember the extermination of the armies during the Boer war, when the conditions were probably infinitely less provocative of that disease than those which must necessarily prevail in prolonged trench fighting, it will be recognized that Sir Frederick's claim of sanitary arrangements are unprecedented is justified—London Outlook. Cement From Beets It has been discovered in France that an excellent cement is one of the hybrids of the manufacture of the beets and the beets are boiled, and which has heretofore been thrown away, consists largely of carbonate of lime and water, and from 70,000 tons of beets the beets are obtained; to this 1,100 tons of clay is added, the resulting product being 3,162 tons of excellent cement. The scum is pumped into large tanks, and the cement is obtained; finally divided clay is then mixed with it; the mixture is thoroughly amalgamated by beaters for an hour and burned in a rotary kiln. The clinker is removed and pulverized in cement. The Poetry of Woman Man is like disconnected and uncouth prose, without harmony or beauty.

FINDING OURSELVES MEGRO ORGANIZATION SOCIETY is a body of earnest race men in Virginia of their people. They go from city to city visiting the people and giving permission and why of improving the condition of stress among other things, on how they are told to buy land, build more better schools for their children and uses of filth and uncleanliness that spreading of other products besides cotton in that cotton raising in such large or large.

THE NEGRO ORGANIZATION SOCIETY is the name under which a body of earnest race men in Virginia are working for the uplift of their people. They go from city to city and from county to county visiting the people and giving personal directions as to the how and why of improving the conditions amid which they live, putting stress among other things, on how to work systematically. They are told to buy land, build more and better homes, provide better schools for their children and fight unceasingly all forms of filth and uncleanliness that spread disease and death. The raising of other products besides cotton is advocated for the reason that cotton raising in such large quantities is no longer profitable. These and many other valuable suggestions are offered and cannot fail to do incalculable good. Every day the lesson is being learned that advancement must come through our own efforts, we must think, act and work for ourselves. Too long have we depended upon the white man to do these things for us. The one who sits by and watches the other fellow do the work, may have a general idea of how it is done but never will be able to do it creditably himself, practice makes perfect. Are we willing to admit that we are not competent to do tasks set before us, as well as any other race? A crutch is very useful to a disabled person and supports the body in time of need. But what need has a well person with a crutch? Sometimes our friends prove to be our worst enemies, without responsibilities, or worries, we vegetate. If we always know our next meal is provided for, that we will have some place to sleep and clothes to wear, the desire to exert ourselves is lost. After the war when thrown on our own resources, we were as babies, for while we toiled from sunrise to sunset, no responsibilities rested upon our shoulders. That we have come out of this supreme test as well as we have is remarkable. To-day we must ask no favors, what is to be done lies plainly before us: let us keep our friends but not use them. This little band of pilgrims in Virginia are doing good work, we need more of such organizations. Getting in touch with your fellowman and giving him a boost instead of a knock is the definition of brotherly love. ```markdown ``` THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE.

To keep a bit of leaems to be the aim and purpose of so in the language of the street "what got it." THE KANSAS SENATE has just put itself on record as being the most narrow minded body of men ever gathered to make laws for a great state. After boosting the appropriations of every white state institution they turn to The Topeka Industrial Institute and the Western University, schools devoted to the education of our race, and make extensive cuts, this too, in spite of the fact that the House passed favorably on the bills and that they had made a ten per cent increase in salaries and maintenance for all other schools. Senator F. C. Price objected to the senate ways and means committee's reductions in appropriations and almost a straight party division of the senate occurred when they voted upon his motion to increase the appropriation by $2,500 a year. It was carried by a vote of 20 to 15, six Democratic senators joining with the Republicans in voting for the increase. Even with this it left the total amount of the senate bill $2,000 below the house's figures. Senator Shouse, chairman of the ways and means committee, denied that they had considered the color question in fixing the figures for these two schools, but up to the present has offered no other reason. It is hard to conceive of intelligent men stooping to such a level, the money they were parceling out came from the taxpayers of the state and since these schools are separate there is no reason why they should not receive as much support and consideration as any of the other seats of learning. Because of his dark skin the tax collector shows the colored man no more leniency than he shows the white man, but these unfair legislators think it smart to deprive him of his just deserts simply because of prejudice and because they have the power. To keep a bit of learning from the colored man seems to be the aim and purpose of some narrow individuals, but in the language of the street "what it takes to get education we got it." A NOTE TO MEXICO. WE ARE MORE CITIZENS of the United of any other country, and the government to protect their lives and their well with this neighbor of ours seems initted for while our forces can easily top them down means that a standing We have been sitting idly by watching among themselves, a policy which pervades lives, but now since our own must act, and act quickly. The recent backed up by our army and navy, unit of chaos, but it will take just that to LEY SAY the price of meat is going with being a vegetarian? THERE ARE MORE CITIZENS of the United States in Mexico City than of any other country, and the government is acting none too soon to protect their lives and their interests. War sooner or later with this neighbor of ours seems imminent, and it is to be regretted for while our forces can easily overpower the enemy, to keep them down means that a standing army must be maintained. We have been sitting idly by watching the Mexicans fight it out among themselves, a policy which perhaps saved us a great many valuable lives, but now since our own countrymen are in danger, we must act, and act quickly. The recent warning sent to Carranza if backed up by our army and navy, undoubtedly will bring order out of chaos, but it will take just that to do it. AND THEY SAY the price of meat is going higher, what's the matter with being a vegetarian? WOMEN IN THE POLICE DEARTMENT. EXPERIENCE HAS PROVEN that women make efficient police officers when their duties lie along certain lines of work. On the Chicago force can be found many "plain clothes" workers whose efficiency marks average up, and in some instances excel their masculine co-workers. This is truly women's age, and little surprise is evinced now when they are discovered doing something hitherto supposed to be far removed from their work or pleasure. And in all justice it must be admitted the problems of life are solved the easier by their having a hand in them. The states that were wise enough to give them suffrage have progressed remarkably, cleaner politics has been the rule, vice and crime have lessened, the liquor traffic has decreased. In the cities alleys and streets have been kept cleaner, housing conditions improved, houses if ill fame put out of business and an all round general city house cleaning has been carried on. All of this because of the touch of a woman's hand. Our own race women have entered heartily into every movement civic or otherwise, that has for its object the betterment of conditions or people. And yet the city government when they have any favors to bestow utterly ignore them and place in paying positions women of foreign birth, many of whom have still to get their naturalization papers. Not one policewoman have we here in Chicago, and why? There could be no objection from a physical, moral or educational standpoint, for our women can measure up with those of any race, it is not because they have not applied, nor is it because they are not needed. In search of a suitable reason we are forced to drift back to the usual cause prejudice, and in Chicago we are not compelled to stand for it, we are heavy taxpayers and have considerable voting strength. It is our duty to see to it that there is no part of the city's administration that we do not have a hand in. Perhaps there are but few they have no right to bar on account of color. We are told by some that agitation only retards progress; in answer we say nothing worth while is gained without a struggle. And the "I Will" spirit is so firmly imbedded in the minds of Chicagoans that they feel there is nothing impossible to accomplish. In the so-called "black belt" there is need of race policewomen, why should we not have them? DOES LEGISLATION MAKE MORALITY? IN AN EFFORT TO PROTECT WHITE WOMEN legislators in the different states find themselves sitting up nights framing bills to be enacted into laws. In Montana a bill was introduced which if passed would prohibit the employment of white girls with Chinese, Japanese or colored girls. The bill makes it unlawful for any employer of labor or his agent to employ or associate in employment men of the colored or Asiatic races with any woman of the white or Caucasian race in any kind of industry or business operated for gain. The penalty attached for violations is a fine of from $50 to $100, or imprisonment in the county jail for thirty days or both fine and imprisonment in the discretion of the court and jury. Perhaps there is some good reason for such a law, surely intelligent men wouldn't pass a measure just for the sake of having something to do, nor would they do so out of mere prejudice, for our law makers, let it be known, are men of high caliber, men with brains who have both social and political standing in the community from whence they came. We must lay aside these reasons and look for others. American women have more advantages and privileges, are more independent and have more self reliance than do women of any other country. With these superior qualities it is reasonable to suppose that they are perfectly able to protect themselves. Yet their "Lords of Creation" seem to attribute to them weaknesses and qualities befitting children in swaddling clothes. What little respect they have for their mentality, what a premium do they put upon the charms of alien races, since they must legislate to protect their women even from contact. What think the women of such a system of espionage and being bulwarked against their inalienable rights even against the demands of their own God-given natures? According to this new fawlanced law our young women cannot have association where gain is involved, which keeps them from earning an honest living, but what about the many points of contact where gain is not involved, surely these wise legislators are putting money above morals. They can go to the deepest depths together in immorality and nothing restricts them. Certainly then the law must be aimed to close the door of hope upon colored girls since they must seek employment which is generally under the supervision of white management. The shame of the Caucasian is that they cannot expect the morality of their women to protect itself. THE NEGRO OF CONQUEST. THE OPPORTUNITY TO WIN CHARACTER and wealth through agriculture and domestic life are liberally extended the Negroes of the South. The wording above is beautiful when we think like most of the journals that are forced to speak in such terms; but the NEGRO OF CONQUEST has no particular section of this country to praise; like any other citizen he follows the flag and will get his North, South, East, West or in his country's possessions in the isles of the sea. When it comes to morals, the NEGRO OF CONQUEST does not believe in raising his family in a section of the country where the law allows a white man to live in open adultery with a black woman and is looked upon with favor by the Negroes, and lynch a colored man if he is seen talking to a white woman; or live where a white man can take his bastard children into the most select race schools and given the best at the expense of the children born in wedlock. ONE OF OUR DAILY PAPERS reports that Miss Jane Addams sees America swaying the earth; Great God, can it be true! Has the American civilization advanced to such a degree that it can make laws like England or France; where one law governs all subjects? It cannot be; for instance, her labor unions and her churches who have a sworn vengeance on everything that's black and not a member of the particular church that predominates the labor market. Let America clean before her own door before she goes to that of another. IN ORDER TO PERPETUATE the memory of the late John C. Buckner, a new lodge of Odd Fellows is being formed in this city, to be called the John C. Buckner Lodge. This is a fitting tribute to the memory of the man who did so much for the military life of the G. U. O. of O. F. and proves that we are gradually recognizing merit in our own and giving them the credit that is due them. IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES at El Paso, Tex., and along the border to the east and west, are watching and waiting for Jack Johnson in the hope of capturing him and bringing him back to Chicago. There were others in the past who waited for. Jack only to regret having found him. BOSTON POLICE ARREST another man for whistling "Good Old Georgia," on the commons in front of Crispus Attuck's monument; those blue laws of Boston are awful. President Wilson had better look out when he makes his visit to the Baked Bean City. THE CANDIDATES FOR RE-ELECTION on the city ticket who failed to give us anything more tangible than promises, while in office, have about as much chance in again getting our vote as a snow ball, would have of lasting in a bake oven. WASHINGTON'S "JIM CROW" STREET CAR BILL has been killed, and the people of that pretty little burg are accordingly rejoicing. It was indefinitely pigconholed because the officials of the street car company showed the lawmakers a deep point, demonstrating to their entire satisfaction that if such a measure went into effect it would cripple the whole system. It was a case of money talking and winning. Whenever the white man's pocketbook is touched prejudice and all else is forgotten, and seeing that we use the same brand of coin of the realm as do our white brothers, the railway company objects to being interfered with—by even such august persons as senators—in their daily routine of separating us from our clusive nickels. The people of the District made a good fight but they would have been up against a stone wall if the car company had not have used their influence. However, they left no stone unturned that would humiliate or degrade that congress has adjourned perhaps when they meet again its complexion will be changed. While they were on the job, however, they left no stone unturned that would humiliate or degrade ten million American citizens. Were we vindictive we would hope the rebels choke before they return, but not having that kind of a heart will simply add "We should worry" if they never come back. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE SOLID SOUTH the Democratic party would cut a small political figure. And it would not be solid if members of our race were accorded their rights under the constitution. And even if disfranchised because of race, if constitutional mandates were obeyed by Congress in reducing the representation of the offending states, the South would not be politically potential. Southern rule is therefore, largely due to Republican cowardice in Congress. THE IOWA CITY REPUBLICAN says, "Congress has defeated the bill to prohibit colored people from immigrating to the United States. The law is not needed as you couldn't find one fool enough to leave any other country and come to the United States." We rise to shout Amen. WHAT HAS BECOME OF COL. ROOSEVELT, we've missed him now for several days, can it be that he is studying ways and means of holting from the Progressive party? WITH THOUSANDS OUT OF WORK and the price of food stuffs soaring there is a bright prospect of the poor houses playing to standing room only. RUMOR HAS IT that our old friend (?) Vardaman passed away. If there is no truth in it, it is a shame to make us laugh when we have a chapped face.

ONE RACE CANDIDATE for alderman is quite enough, there is no use in biting off more than we can chew. The Values That Publicity Can Give Advertising is simply making your business known. As such it is perfectly consistent with anybody's dignity or modesty, writes Frank Crane in the Daily News. 1. It is not necessarily boasting or self-pushing. In fact a bragging advertisement defeats its purpose; it repels and does not attract. Several points that it might be well for all advertisers to keep in mind. These are not expert items, but simply common sense: 1. All advertising should be clear. It ought to state just what your business is and where it is, giving your precise address. Don't assume that every one knows where the "Jones drygoods store" is, nor how to get there. Tell them. You cannot make things too plain. 2. Advertising should be reckoned as part of your business. It is as necessary as over your door. It is not an occasion but a natural matter; it is essential. How can the public do business with you unless they know about you? 3. It should be regular and constant. People trade with the firm whose name is familiar to them. The newspaper ought to be your partner. If you are in business permanently let your advertising be permanent. 4. The newspaper, going daily into the hands of a people, is the best medium for advertising. You can the public naturally turn when they want to see where to buy, whether bonds or beans. 5. Advertising should be attractive. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Royal Casualty Company. In reply to the many inquiries concerning the Royal Casualty Company, a concern doing business formerly in Chicago we have had our investigator make a report on the status of the said company. He found that the Royal Casualty Company had been doing an insurance business in this city with effect in the Insurance Exchange Building, Jackson boulevard; that the company has now gone out of business and a concern by name, the Casualties Companies of America, stated that they had assumed the business of the old company after January 1, 1915, beginning at noon, on said date, but that they did not assume any liabilities prior to said date and time. We have had many complaints concerning the Royal Casualty Company, in not promptly paying claims, and after an investigation of the matter we found the complaints well founded. We advise our readers to be cautious in accepting insurance, and at any time before delivering your books, policies or other papers to the company or its agents to demand and re-issue them. But out the books, policies or receipts you cannot prove your claims against the company; we also advise our readers to fully understand all the terms and conditions of your policies before accepting the same, and if the policy is not what the agent has represented it to be to at once write the company and save a copy of your letter refusing to accept the policy. It is also a very good thing to do, to keep it where you can always find the same in case your policy is lost, stolen or misplaced. Keep Up Belief. Bellove in yourself, believe in humanity—believe in the success of your undertakings. Fear nothing and no one. Love your work. Work, hope, trust. Keep in touch with today. Teach yourself to be practical; up-to-date and sensible. You cannot, fall. Selected. FOR THE RENT YOU PAY YOU CAN OWN ONE OF THESE HOMES 3235 Prairie Ave., Cottage, 7 Rooms, Porcelain Bath.

Kansas, as you know, sends to all of her citizens a monthly almanac, filled with epigrams bearing on various health problems. **Health Epigrams.** An open window is better than an open grave. Warm rooms have killed more people than ever froze to death. A "stiff drink" makes the stomach warm, but the skin cold.

Difficult as the life of a lumberjack in the backwoods may be, it is partially free from certain onerous and friskome customs peculiar to civilization proper. "I boarded at the house of a fellow lumberjack during my brief experience of married life in the backwoods," said an ex lumberjack. "It was an informal arrangement, to say the least. I did not even know the price I was to pay for the living accommodations in this isolated household, and something in the very atmosphere forbade me to ask. I took it for granted that I would get a square deal. "When the time came for my departure I asked the host for my bill. "How many meals have you et here? he asked. "I should say that I ate about three meals per day for three weeks," I replied. "Miss any? he demanded. "Possibly two or three," I ventured. "Our charge is 15 cents per meal, he said. My wife kept tab on all the meals. "On consulting his wife's accounts, which were kept by means of a very good memory, it developed that I had consumed a few meals less in the aggregate than the total daily quota for three weeks. I paid for them. "Now, what do I owe for sleeping accommodations? I asked. I have occupied a bed and room for three weeks, you know." "My host starred in amazement and demanded: "Do you mean it?" "Of course I mean it. I replied. 'In the eastern country where I come from a man's lodgings usually cost about the same as his meals. I presume it is the same here.' 'I should say not! he retorted sharply. I am part of the country is mean enough to charge anybody for a place for sleep!' The Artist. The whole function of the artist in the world is to be a seeing and a feeling creature; to be an instrument of such tenderness and sensitiveness that no shadow, no hue, no line, no instantaneous and evanescent expression of the visible things around him, nor any of the emotions which they are capable of conveying to the spirit which has been given him, shall either be left unrecorded or faded from the book of record—Ruskin.

Good water is more to be prized than rubles and clean hands are better than much fine gold. A rusty tip and a wooden bucket in the school and lodge room are convenient to very dangerous. It is the glare of Kansas that she was the first to whish the public drinking cup in schools, railroads and hotels. Many a cough cues in a coffin. A stuffy room is the gern's best ally. A little ventilation is more effective than quinine and whiskey. Open your windows for fresh air and you will seldom have to open your pocket-book for the doctor and drugst. It is better to sleep in the fresh air than in the fresh grave. It is very difficult to cure consumption it is easy to prevent it. Avoid "consumption curs" as they never cure. A careless spitter with a little cough is more dangerous than a careless man with a big revolver! A sanitary toilet and bathroom cost less than a funeral.

We have quoted extensively from these enciphras for the benefit of our readers and believe that these pointers are well worth a careful consideration. BONAPARTE AS A CENSOR French Emperor Suppressed Almanac da Gotha, Which Mentioned the Emperor's Death The German Almanach do Gotha published two editions in 1808, and the first of these, which was suppressed by order of Napoleon, is now worth considerably more than its weight in gold. The suppression, says the Pall Mall Gazette, took place because the editor had included in the section devoted to reigning sovereigns a number of German princes deposed By the French emperor. From that year until 1814 the proofs had to be submitted by French authorities before publication. The revised edition of 1808 contains a curious collection of portraits. Napoleon figures on the frontispiece with the inscription: I a recue pour nous quand de ciel le Le bras de Romulus et l'esprit de Numa. The subjects of the other portraits are Murat, then grand duke of Berg ("L'Allemangue, then grand avec plaisir a nombre de ses souvenirs." Nelson and Pitt. Concerning the last two editor writes: "Time and death have extinguished the feelings of empathy they once inspired." EDITOR.S MAIL Peoria, IL, March 12. 1915.
