Chabert, the fire king, who was a popular favorite in London many years ago, claimed to be able to swallow arsenic and other poisons with impunity. Visitors to his entertainment were requested to come provided with phosphorus, prussic acid, arsenio and mercury. He was known to consume before their eyes, taking an antidote afterward which was supposed to neutralize their effects. Then, to show that he was as impervious to heat as to poison, he would take a raw leg of lamb into an oven heated to 220 degrees and remain inside until the joint was cooked, when it was carved and handed around to the other people. This was included by Chabert rubbing a red-not shovel on his head and face and allowing anyone who wished to drop molten sealing wax on his tongue and hands. Discipline for the Mind. Accustom yourself to submit on every occasion to a small present owl, to obtain a greater distant good.

By Hardin Tolbert. Lexington, Ky., Dec. 31. At every angle in the city it seems that the prosecution has been able to put political gossip, the curbstone and barber shop and club debaters, are now focusing their thoughts to one particular street entrance of theaters. Among some of the said to be thoughtful Negroes, the barber shop and club debaters, as "Big Me" and "Little You," the "Big Me" who gets offended at the least are in the right or wrong; some teachers in the Sunday school, public schools, and civic are holding responsible actions and with all their said to be intelligence common sense enough to buyeyet sellers. Gom Theater, the only moving picture house in the city that is run by Negroes, will lower their prices from ten cents to five cents. There have been ten cents to five cents. The reason they go to the back way is the reason they go to the side entrances is because they can go to the back way. The reason they would not give five cents difference for equal accommodations? This will not be the case. They get equal accommodation now for five cents to an exclusive college, they get equal accommodation what is your pleasure. We will to patronize Jim Crow movies of the young men say they carry their guns pay extra for reserved Jim Crow boxes. We pity the unthoughtful young ladies perkins they will learn. Boosters' Club Organized At the time of the Weekly News, a large number of business, professional and those interested in a "get together" movement assembled and organized a specific aim is to boost all the Negro business. The spirit of co-operation has been almost dead, ever since the campaign of Theil's in 1915. Theil's is an appeal for all factions to come together, and show a greater degree of united strength to each other. Theil's is the prominent business men in the person of Dr. Geo. P. Craig. George Wash. Theil's is grown extensively and much credit is due them all. At the organizing of this event, Dr. H. H. Hogan was elected secretary, George Washington treasurer.

The limited field in Egypt for the sale of manufactured tobacco other than cigarettes would hardly warrant its manufacture there on a large scale. The native smokes cigarettes and tombac. Tombac is a mixture of tobacco and cigarettes smoked in the water pipe. The local Greeks and Italians, of whom there are large colonies, smoke cigarettes and the cheaper grades of cigars. The higher grades of cigars and pipe tombac are smoked by the better class of Europeans. Wall Decorations. In planning for remodeling or decorating it is well to remember that vertical lines on a wall increase the apparent height of the ceiling, while, on the other hand, horizontal lines on the wall bring the ceiling down. When the ceiling is too high striped wall papers and all vertical lines are to be avoided. How Light Affects the Eye In a dim light the conditions obtained in full daylight do not apply so far as the eye is concerned. In a feeble illumination the eye becomes more or less color-blind and is highly insensitive to red, which appears dead black, whereas green and blue objects appear as uncanny gray. Dally Thought. A man may see how this world goes with no eyes. Look with tine ears; see how yellow justice rails upon yond simple thief. Hark in tine ears; change places; and, handy-dandy, which is the justice, which the thief — Shakespeare. Willie Not Equal to Task. "I didn't see you in chin or yesterday." "No; Willie didn't shew a path through the Sunday papers in time" — Puck. Philosophy. "He's a philosopher?" "So?" "Yes indeed.

Profit by Others' Wisdom He who calls in the aid of an equal understanding, doubles his own; and he who profits by a superior understanding, raises his powers to a level with the height of the superior understanding he unites with. Grooville Mise, Dec. 21. A large dence was highly entertained at M. Horeb church, by Lawyer Glenn Blake, a brightly enlightened subject, "Unity of the Race," was well explained.

He enriched Hampton in 1885 and graduated in 1880. For one year he then became commander of cadets. Since the death of General Armstrong and the death of Dr. B. Friesell, principal of Hampton institute, most loyally and efficiently, he commanded cadets and as a speaker in Hampton institute attended financial campaigns throughout the country. Robert Moton in 1868 became the secretary of the Negro Rural School Fund Board, Anna T. Jenkins Foundation. He was also the president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, which works through several schools, better schools, better health, better homes. This society touches the lives of at least 25,000 Negroes in Virginia and includes several of institutions of the race. Dr. Booker T. W. Washington and Major Moton were lifelong friends. At the recent Boston meeting of the National Moton Business League Dr. Washington and Moton were credited and give his interpretation of the Negro's real progress. Major Moton worked with a loftier motive for the uplift of his people, with more Competence, more patience, with more selflessness, efficiency the Booker T. Washington. "Major Moton is life for the World Moton," the Moton lifespan under the caption, "A Negro's Uphill Climb." He has also contributed important articles on problems of race adjustment to the monthly magazine published by Hampton institute. Major Moton's public address throughout the South as well as the North. They have been seasoned with experience and humor to make them enlightened and useful with the serious purpose of his message. Major Moton's philosophy is founded on common sense and experience. He teaches race pride to stand together on all questions of race uplift; to lead clean lives; to be progressive in business; to teach children to build better homes, homes and schools, and above all, to work with their wives and skillfully interpret the fundamental problems which relate to masses of our people who are dominant white race. Dr. Washington Dr. Washington, in his book called "My Larger Education," sald: "Major Moton is one of the best read men and one of the best teachers. That I have ever met. Education has not spotted him. It has not embittered him. It has not incited him. It has not learned to hate or dislike any class of people, and he is just as ready to teach men and women to be man as to a black man and to be woman as to a northerner. By training northern white people, at the Hamilton institute they have teachers of both races; they have southern white people; they have black students and Indian students. Major Moton knows how to keep his students and to see that friction is kept down and that each works in harmony with the Major Moton knows how to negotiate it. "Major Moton holds a most delicate position at Hampton. In the school community there are paupers, Africans, multitudes, southern white people—all working for the same cause, the elevation of the race. It is easy matter to harmonize all these types of race, race and race and so true is his judgment that each group gives him enthusiastic support. He has been through contact with men like Major Moton that I have received a kind of education no books could impart. It is hard to know how to know Major Moton. If more of our southern white people could see him, so calm, so unassertative, so unpressuring, would never say again that the race could not produce a pure-blood leader." MR.

San Diego, Cal., Dec. 21. — The Chicago American Giants baseball team teamed home with victory in the sixth inning of a game against the Pittsburgh. 16. Pete jill's long single to right sent two men across the plate, and that was enough to spell defeat to the white boys. 17. The Giants won the game and in six out of nine games and in six out of nine holes, and only the fastest kind of fielding saved him several times. After seven innings Foster sent dismissal to the first Giant. The Giants were the first to register and Lloyd off with a base on balls, but the Giants were dismissed by Adoo funnel and Gans waited for free transportation. Bauchman came through with a single and Gans pulled off the second and third pitches rounded third at full speed, drawing a throw from Llischil in a hurry. As usual, the Giants outfielders and Gans proceeded home into the stand and Gans proceeded home. The Fantangles out came right back in on offense at the second and third pitches into the stand and Gans proceeded home. The Fantangles out came right back in on offense at the second and third pitches into the stand and Gans proceeded home. The Chicago crowd forged ahead in the third, Duncan's slam for three bats and MeAdo's drive to right with one on doing Wrecking Crew Gets to Work. PITCHER WICKWARE. was nafe on a close play at the plate. Litsch fanned. Wickware caught Davy-ay off first disallowed, but he kept them chasing up and down between first and second till Bayless had scored. The Giants copped the game in the eighth. Bauchman fanned, Petty and wallew walked. Barber bounced safely, diving for the ball with a long string and Petty and Wickware scored. Barber and Fill then tried a double steal and the third sacker was Glants. Barber, 3b. AB. R. H. O. A. E.

On Sunday the Giants turned the trick again in a long-drawn-out game that was made up of many clever fielding plays, as many bad misplays, heavy hitting and considerable sloppy fielding from the time the game ended it enriched. Wickware essayed to start the wooing, with understanding the Giants' decision to end the Wickware and the ump's decisions didn't tally, and as a consequence he was the sixth Williams took Wickware's place after the score had been tied. Inability to make the play and the pleasure the Giants took celvin Hitt's delivery were the causes of the downfall of Bill Palmer's Pantagone. The Clintz elicited the name in the event on singles by Batchman, WI- lliams, Floyd 'and' Adoo and Barber's names over the Id fence, the five hits being good for three runs. In the eighth Bauchman duplicated Birchera of getting a homer, this being the final score by the Clintz. Glants. Bauber, 2b. AB. R. I. H. O. A. E.

A. enjoyed a rare treat last Wednesday evening when a large number, with their friends, gathered at their club room to play a simultaneous exhibition by playing twenty boards at once. Mr. Hove succeeded in winning the game and losing one, Mr. Garfield being the winner of the single game. Mr. Hove moved up and down the line so fast that I did not have much time to deliberate. On the whole, it was a most wonderful exhibition of checker playing. Dr. Plumman as chiristian, the official revered by Harvey L. Hopkins, the official revered of the National, Illinois and Chicago checker clubs. He has played checkers giving its origin and the name of the game very interesting and a lecture was indeed very interesting and beginning with the history of checkers, giving its origin and the name of the game is known and played by every civilized nation. He said, among other things, that few games which had not been proved upon, but that checkers had been so perfect that there was no room for improvement. It is played today as it was in the early 19th century lecture and reportage Mr. John Howe, Harvey L. Hopkins and Mr. Wendemuth were elected honorary members of the National Checkers Club. Played between George M. Tanner and Newell Banks in the blindfold exhibition December 19 at the South Side club.

But their luck went against them and this year they lost more Sunshine than ever. The American team here, none went back to their hometown with the series.

Coming back to California, the team challenged the Chicago Federal leagues after the National Commission refused to take the Federal series. But the Forssels refused. The series back to California. Nearly all the race teams throughout the east were fortunate to have the New York Giants, Brooklyn Browns, Buffalo Federal and the Philadelphia National league champions never take a drubbing at the hands of the race ball tossers. The Lincoln Giants took the National league champions. The Lincoln National league champions strongest bunch of players in the east, but after their return from the Chicago team, they played with the players Lloyd and Gans, who came back to Chicago to Join Rube Foster's aggregation, they disbanded and their players starred at the national league team they played even and equaled the record of John McGraw. the race churches formed a McGraw in the history of the city we had a white umbrella without having a white umbrella in it. The greatest blow to the boxing game was the defeat of John Arthur Johnson, and the championship going to the white belt. He was the first to come it away from them.

THE MOST PERPLEXING QUESTION of family to solve is how on a moor most housed, clothed and fed, and in that that has puzzled the colored man, the man, the reason is obvious. Concise possible for the former to secure a neighborhood at anything like a moor be had at all. While the white man trouble in getting any place provide is invariably from ten to twenty-four accommodations offered to the color excuse is still tendered that we deprive, destroy the plumbing, burn up a plaster and in every way try to do dies. All of which is so absurd to concergy. The truth of the matter is, the tenants fails to discriminate, he has look alike," and believes it, very often with us, as has every other race, the most depredations the better element does not exist in the white race, beets and recognizing this fact act accuse have the home-buying, it began ten years ago, and as a result of it can be found here owned by our peers in the country. And let it be high. New York is in a deplorable arts in 62 per cent of the apartments are found, and constitute 32 per cent of these lodgers are taken into homes at the high rents. A movement is on rent houses both in New York and Good means, something that is surely my life is spent in our home, or at least it as pleasant as possible. ONE OF THE MOST PERPLEXING QUESTIONS for the average man of family to solve is how on a modest income can the family be best housed, clothed and fed, and in the big cities this is a question that has puzzled the colored man far more than it has the white man, the reason is obvious. Conditions make it practically impossible for the former to secure a flat or a house in a desirable neighborhood at anything like a moderate rent, if, in fact, they can be had at all. While the white man of whatever caliber has no trouble in getting any place providing he can pay the price, which is invariably from ten to twenty-five per cent less than the same accommodations offered to the colored man. The flimsy excuse is still tendered that we depreciate property wherever we go, destroy the plumbing, burn up the woodwork, knock off the plaster and in every way try to demonstrate our wrecking abilities. All of which is so absurd to contradict it would be a waste of energy. The truth of the matter is, the landlord who rents to colored tenants fails to discriminate, he has heard that old song, "All coons look alike," and believes it, very often to his sorrow. We have with us, as has every other race, the rough, ignorant element for whose depredations the better element must suffer, a condition that does not exist in the white race, because the whites have sets and sets and recognizing this fact act accordingly. Chicagoans have the home-buying, it began to take hold of them some fifteen years ago, and as a result of it today more and better homes can be found here owned by our people than in any other two cities in the country. And let it be known property values are very high. New York is in a deplorable condition, according to reports in 62 per cent of the apartments occupied by our people lodgers are found, and constitute 32 per cent of the total population. These lodgers are taken into homes because of the proper tenement housing both in New York City and in race people of limited means, something that is sorely needed. A great portion of our life is spent in our home, or at least should be, so why not make it as pleasant as possible. WOMAN SUFFRAGE. R FOND HOPE has been shattered in California, who directed the attention it was not the Negro question which south, but the factory owner who north. It is a strange but true fact that we the "goat" in every issue confront and Dixon line, who otherwise would stay in obscurity to the limcight on the back of the outherner gained his riches by the man for his labors barely enough to The black man counts in the census representation at Washington, but the portion of the taxes, but derives litter is meager compared with those forced to live in undesirable section, nest rents, and as for justice in the case for him. Generator Ransdell of Louisiana directs that the women of the south did not Negro vote, his hearers manifested cause that might have been expected, that was all. He wonder why women are making sense. Why they will brook insult and inconvenience and persecution to so to suppose that they have grasped a degree than have men. The right safeguard of our liberty. Without morbidity dies and humanity becomes Women should have a hand in making governed as well as the men, and the suffrage is simply following its usual the way of every movement thatankind. ANOTHER FONDER HOPE has been shattered by Miss Frances Joliffe of California, who directed the attention of the Senate to the fact that it was not the Negro question which is endangering suffrage in the south, but the factory owner who employs children and women. It is a strange but true fact we always figure prominently as the "gont" in every issue confronting denizens below the Dixon and Dixon line. Politicians who otherwise would stay in obscurity till the end of time, ride into the limelight on the back of the colored man. The wealthy southerner gained his riches by the toil of the poor black man who got for his labors barely enough to keep body and soul together. The black man counts in the census because it gives the south more representation at Washington, but he does not vote. He pays a large portion of the taxes, but derives little benefit. His school facilities are meager compared with those of his white brother. He is forced to live in undesirable sections and expected to pay the highest rents, and as for justice in the courts, there is no such thing for him. So when Senator Ransdell of Louisiana directed attention to the contention that the women of the south did not want the ballot because of the Negro vote, his hearers manifested no surprise, it was just the excuse that might have been expected. He was simply working in form, that was all. Some people wonder why women are making such a fuss about the right to vote. Why they will brook insult and endure prison and every other inconvenience and persecution to secure the ballot. It is reasonable to suppose that they have grasped the value of the ballot to a greater degree than have men. The right of the ballot is the sign and safeguard of our liberty. Without it slavery rules and reigns, democracy dies and humanity becomes the chattel of the mighty. Women should have a hand in making the laws by which they are governed as well as the men, and the south by opposing woman suffrage is simply following its usual trend to place obstructions in the way of every movement that tends for the betterment of mankind.

We can plan and prophesy as much as we choose one moment, the next may see them vanish as the smoke rings from a cigar lose themselves forever after they have spent their force. And yet we must plan, must prepare for the morrow, must build castles even though it is a constant weary repetition, it is life. We bid the old year good-by both with regret and pleasure. Regret because it has been kind to most of us, to let us live to see the new year. Because it has brought prosperity, because it has taken us three hundred and sixty-five days nearer the light, because to our cause have come hundreds of earnest, influential people to work with us, because it has brought conditions that have shown us the value of unity. We bid the old year good-by with pleasure because of the myriad thorns the winds have blown in our sides, because it can take no more from our ranks men and women who have meant so much to us in the way of progress, because we believe the new year holds brighter and better things for us. These and kindred reasons bring alternately pleasure and regret. But the past has gone, today is the beginning of the New Year, there is much to be accomplished, every moment is precious; let that nightmare "no opportunity" die with the old year; be prepared and the opportunity will present itself. Look and feel prosperous and prosperity will come. Let 1916 be the banner year of your life. It can be; it all rests with you.

The plan is simple enough and that amount required to fulfil weekly obligation can be made as small or as large as your purse will permit. Saving by this plan is sure to encourage thrift and as the dollar plays such an important part in our every day life, the best way to conserve it is a question that should have our undivided attention. Start with the first of the year to save; it is the only way to prepare for that rainy day that comes to us all, sooner or later. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING that we wish everybody a Happy New Year, and further wish we could meet you face to face, slap you on the back and give you a right hearty handshake. But you know that old saying, "If wishes were horses, beggars could ride," so we'll have to ask that you practice a little Christian Science. IN THE BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES of Booker T. Washington it is noted that in the appraisal of effects of his owner in 1861, Booker, then an infant threeo r four years old, was put down as worth $400. In the light of subsequent achievements it looks like a modest appraisement. WE'LL SOON KNOW the interests that supported Huerta. For now that all of his concessions have been revoked, a heaven-piercing howl will arise. PERHAPS IF SANTA CLAUS brought you anything it was more than you really deserved. Who knows? Let's look in the book and see. W. Allison Sweeney's Tribute to Washington Brings Forth Praise My Very Dear Mr. Sweney: I suppose you have learned of the fortunate and antimely death of my beloved brother, of mind and body, so hopeful and cheerful of the future. One of the things you valued and sincerely appreciated, to teach me to know W. ALLISON WENENE WENENE from my native state and from my homeland fields of Illinois where I first began to realize the beauty that lies just beneath the earth, and the insinuating mind out here in this big and beautiful country so marvelous in nature, I walk upon a sand of the earth the footfall the footfall the thinking always of those two men whose conversation is listened to when a boy learns of the devoted and grateful friend ALLISON remembers Tim, and if he knows that his younger brother he has the same devoted and grateful friend It is sweet to find the voice of an old friend. I met her at the STIR RIEN TO THE VIRY SOULS, coming two or three thousand miles away. I had to recollections of youth, and confirm in my opinion of that friend's quality of life. My dear MIR. SWEENEY, I could not tell you what I have done here, were I not there. I have tried to help you, I have tried to help you and to think about A NEW YEAR'S PRAYER By Ruby C. Petitin, Sabbina, Ohio I do not ask that life be free From sorrow and from care. From pain and from suffering. That I breathe forth this prayer. 'Tis for thy grace, O God of love, To give me strength and might To walk with me, not right, To walk by faith, not right. Abdul Baha on. Spirituality, True Happiness and Progress Ferocity and savagery are natural to animals, but men should show forth the power of all His prophets into the world with one aim, to sow in the hearts of men love they were willing to suffer and to die. All the sacred books were written to love and unity; and yet, in spite of all this, we have the sad spectacle of war and love. When we look into the pages of history, past and present, we see the black curtains redened by human men who have widened their perceptions and forget the laws of love and toleration. Now this luminous age has come, bringing with it wonderful civilization and a new era of savagery have widened, their perceptions bloom, but alas in spite of all this fresh blood the present day by day. Look at the present moment the fate of these unhappy people. How many have been killed during the ruined, wives desate and children orphans. And what is to be gained in the future? Only a corner of the case. War Grows Worse. This all-time great progress alone does not tend to uplift man. On the contrary, the more he becomes impertinent, does his spirituality become obscured. In times gone by progress on the man-made world was there blossomed in such profusion. In ancient warfare there were no cannons, no nocturnoebs, no battleships, no submarines. Now, owing to material civilization, and to inventions, and to wear on from bad to good, I want to make you understand that material progress are two very different things: only if material progress goes hand in hand, and that any progress come about, and can any peace reign in the world. If men fail in all hearts, and men were really reared up soon, see peace on earth, and the earth will reign on men. The laws of God may be likened to the laws of material progress unto the body, the body of God may be likened to the soul, it would cease to exist. It is that the laws of spirituality may ever grow and expand, that customs may become enlightened, and peace concord may be catabol. Must Reap as We Sow. Radiance From Perala. Radiance from Persia. God in Persia called us to so much honor, and has made us masters over the material world. Shall then become her masters? Nay, rather than become her masters, God will live to the life of the spiritual sons of God. The glorious sun of truth has once been the light of Persia, the horizon of Persia its radiance is spreading far and wide, dispersing the dense clouds of superstition. The light of the sun of Persia into the world and soon the banner of divine harmony and the solidarity of nations will be flying high in the sky. God will inspire the whole world. Oh, peoples and national Arise and work and be happy. And gather to worship the one of the unify of mankind.

Heart-throbs swell the requiem; brave men lying dead, Earth-clocks at their feet, snow-wreaths on their head; For widows and orphans unsheltered, un-fed, Strained eyes seeing ever, glazed eyes of the long winter nights Unshakeable flash the blades of the cold "northern lights"! We did these chill welcome, thou incoming year, The shrieking of shells deaden chimes to our car The cry of our loved ones we clasp in despair As Death rides his car through highways of the air! Ohi God of the stricken, The child of Plead not of the New Year for laughter of mirth! But grief that our faith dies not with the air, Sound the pleans of peace to our long-lasting ear!

So serious and alarming has become the influenza epidemic that a few nights ago, 10,000 people assembled in Moody Tabernacle and joined in earnest prayer and supplication to Almighty God and his help, and rid Chicago of the epidemic of "grip." Chicago indeed may be delivered from the influenza, if the prayers of the five churches of Chicago be adorned a few nights ago are answered. These prayers may do much good because we understand that "the prayers of the five churches of Chicago are far we have observed no adoration of the onward march and ravages of "grip" in prayer, but we also believe that early employment of the services of the nearly five thousand physicians in Chicago is the religious carrying out of their instructions, will do as much, at least, as the thousand persons, earnestly sent up in bed, the ridden city on Christmas night. In fact, we have taught by experience and object to the inexorable laws in regard to sanitation, hygiene, both personal and housing, and the inconsequences of these violations.

Douglass, Atiz, Dec 20, 1915-Mr. R. B. Abbott, Editor; Babbott, I am a reader of *The Rise* and would say concerning the lynching of Joseph Stevens, who was raped and loved by no fight, but I can not look at this like other men, but I do believe when Negro men defend their rights to die or fight, they must be less crime committed in the Slavery I cannot see how any man would leave his home undefended and a wife or mother in danger, or nothing but his hands he should have died with her. He should have been prepared, knowing conditions. I can say that if a man is not his to despair a man and will defend my rights as such. If a man's home is not his to des- pare, the aim of society is useless. As long as the penalty of cowardice have to suffer the penalty of cowardice. AUTUMN LEAF CLUB GIVES RECEPTION By J. Shields.
