PROMINENT WOMAN PASSES AWAY Thomas Quaries Henderson, Ky., April 7.—Again we are reminded that this earth is not our abiding place by the sad death of our beloved member, Mrs. Emma C. Brown, a charter member of Peerless Improvement Club, one who filled the capacity as presided-in-serving times and with untold success. The Lord in his infinite wisdom has seen fit on Wednesday night, March 22, 1956, to receive from earthly labor the most joyful of his life. The great work of which has been true and staunch in all her club life. We bow in humble submission to our Heavenly Father, who death all things well. While we feel our great loss and that her place and the home, the club and the community will be hard to fill, yet we feel our loss is Heaven's gain. Here is a life that will live on as long as one remains of those stalwart young sons and daughters or any inlins and image, for, in the present, the life of the great men and the life of the relations and inspirations to all he has. Yes, long after mother earth shall have folded with a mother's care and sublime devotion her body, grass and flowers around her grave shall become assimilated with the earth of her grave united to form a stronger protection, will be the character, personality, uniform kindness and untold devotion of this kind mother, wife and co-workers. Amid tears of the old and the new, the great love of the old and the new, the heart of the new, the heart of the new, the heart of the new, loved and adored her, the sorrows of neighbors and friends and palsults of an entire citizenship, we will follow this, our beloved and dutiful member, to her best bed, conscienting her to the genuine friendship to hold without an ache, pain, sorrow or disappointment till the Archangels' sound shall be heard walking the sleepers. Since it pleases Providence to er and at the time when it was most needed to cheer our hearts, to sweeten our homes. Be it resolved, That we, the members of the Peerless Improvement Club, command you to Him who doeth all things well, and who has promised us a happy reunion in the great Beyond. Rehearsing that almost that, death can long divide. For it is not as though the rose that climbed my garden had blossomed on the other side. Death doth divide. Thou are but Christ on the other side. Thou art with Christ and Christ with me. In Christ united still are we. Be it resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, and a copy be spread on the face of the minutes. Committee, Rosa E. Cabell, Odessa K. Blackshear. OBITUARY. James II. Johnson was born in New York City Aug. 12, 1855. He received his education in the schools of New York, studying pharmacy in his later years. He labored hard and earnestly to make his parents proud of him. He was fond of reading and had a knowledge of all commonplace subjects. In October, 1852, he was married to Ada V. Miner, Boston, Mass. They came to Chicago after thirty-three years of married life, established a home in which they lived until his death. To them was born one child—a son, Sedwick. He leaves a wife, a son, a granddaughter and a foster-daughter, Gladys, a number of distant relatives and a son of friends to mourn his loss. His religion was founded on the Golden Rule—"To be a man as he would have others do unto him." He was a determined, though gentle and patient, kind and generous, yet positive and thoughtful. To the young man he was ever ready to give advice and assistance. It meant real pleasure to him to help anyone. His fondness for young men made him the first secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association in New York City. For more than twenty-two years he was a faithful and trusted servant of his country and government, holding a clerkship in the Chicago post office. He was honest and thrifty and prosperous. God called him March 25, 1816, but he is not dead—his body is asleep, at rest, but his soul is dead, his spirit live on. His life is and is ever ever before he is, a living husband, a gentle father, a dear friend, a noble man. Peace be to his ashes.

By Anita Pattil Brown. Rio de Janeiro, South America, N 15.-As soon as our ship pulled into ship pulled into the harbor, and seeing the Organ mount, smoothly covered green of the tropes, it was the most marvelous sight my eyes behold. the heart-shaped shapes were wonderful to observe around the bay is beautiful. As we passed the marrow rock, it was a great mountain of rock. It was nuzzling to me to touch it. the Organ mountains rise with its richly covered green of the tropics, it was the most marvelous sight my eyes behold. Its hills with its curved branches was wonderful to observe and the scenery around the lay and the maid passed the narrow channel, one side was a great mountain, another breathtaking to me to see such rocky country. We passed numerous animals and finally ended at the most wonderful city, the "Paradise of the New World." It was quite an innovation to me to find my own brains, my muscles, my eyes, my pet by reporters and agents. Having often read of such courtesies being shown artists and aquatics, I tried to match that with my own. It was a common occurrence with me, the liberal space was given me in the dailies (some running my photo) saying I was the artist from the United States visit New Jersey. The Customs So Different. The customs are quite different from the States and British West Indies. A lady traveling alone is not considered a proper character and the hotels prefer not to accommodate her. Dr. Clennenden is a most excellent gentleman. He met me and drove me to his home where I was introduced to his wife, son and daughter (all pretty) who were expecting me. The ladies hugged and kissed me as though they had known me for a long time. The two women were so close as to be the best of the two and in the mountains and it is a dream. Just imagine living three miles from the city, going to and from home in a ble touring car, viewing the beautiful scenery dally and the fresh air in all the time and especially the pure sweet atmosphere air at night. Sleep—I just sleep like a new born babe. The people are so gracious and lovely and the women are so charming and dress in the height of style. The opera season was on, and my, I never saw such gorgeous gowns worn by both the white and colored people. The tea rooms and restaurants are magnificent. We visited a tea room and I note that an ordinary meal costs $1.50. I saw $200. Please say I my friends in Australia who have for a month of the husbands fruits of the southland, should they visit Rio they will be surprised and much annoyed when they find that water melons cost from $7.00 to $8.00 each and a musk melon from $3.00 to $4.00 each. I am told that Brazilians are great spenders. They indulge in A. B. SALINO SANTOS, LL. D. Graduated Abroad; Speaks Five Languages. everything they want, no matter the cost and they really live and live well, but I don't know how much money they take, and it takes money to live here. As the little boy on State street in Chicago would say, "put this in your pouch and come next day after I arrived we drove to the custom house after my lageague and it cost just $25 to buy it to my home. I usually used to pay for it. You would "the laughing" to see us when the doctor leaves his office, the ladies sign making with my Spanish. I have begun to learn to talk with my hands, in return to the States don't be surprised in it. I have been versations. I talk with my head, arms, hands and feet, ha, ha, ha. I was greatly surprised by the death of Father Massim. I am not easy tast to fill his place; he was such a notable character in Bahla. From what I have observed, Rio is in many respects different from Bahla.

This being the capital of the country, legal matters of a national consequence are always before the courts and he is one who is usually found at the capital with great legal cases. He is a fluent speaker, and just think speaks five languages with more ease than I speak English. I found him to be a noble gentleman, an obliging and courteous person, and that has been a great honour for him in this city. The professional field is wide and chances are excellent in all lines.

I don't blink. Americans who came here with their hat in their hands, with a college diploma and state license, little funds and then expect to make it here. To tell the truth, Dr. Cleenbond gets his money as a practitioner and a dentist gets $12.00 for a small crown, $2.50 for extracting a tooth the doctor gets $3.00 and up for their visits. One of the best evidence that color is no barrier to securing position and honor in this country is the likeness of the above gentleman. Mr. Antonia Alves. When I met him and was informed that he was the president of the board of the building commission my eyes lit up with joy and admiration. I was in the public building in the National Library, one of the public buildings lining Avendia street. This street is one hundred feet wide and a mile long. It is paved with asphalt, the beds of trees and flowers run through the center. Its sidewalks are black and white flint, bid in patterns and back on the street are magnificent buildings. The most beautiful building is the Marmarone, which is one of the most heavily equipped theaters in the world. Its dome is 147 feet high, its surmounted by a gilded bronze castle whose outstretched wings measure 20 feet. Oh, merey, how I did get "chesty" when I attended the T. H. H. T. The "chesty" was never forget. Simply marvelous. Then Marmarone, named after our bite president of the United States, its another beauty, wonderful for its architecture. The Polytechnical School is another fine building. It has two courses, general and special. The latter embraces civil, mining, industrial, mechanical and natural sciences. The public buildings are monster in size, with the compare with them in the United States. The man that passes upon their construction is Mr. Antonia Alves, whose plecture appears in these columns. No boulevards in the world can compare with these here. They tell me I am seeing the world now. I am sure I am seeing it was torn away for not many years ago. It was torn away I am glad I am seeing this one, for it's the most beautiful spot in the world. Given Royal Welcome. Everywhere I want I have been rewarded by welcomed.

On this occasion over 20,000 soldiers are on dress parade, it is said. These thousands of men, composing the artillery, are colored white, white and colored brown. Whites and colored are mixed indiscriminately together in the different divisions. Colored men have won honors in the arts and professions. Colored men have won distinction. Dle for Their Womanhood. Women must not be insulted, be she white or be she defend her white or be she womanhood. Marriage vows are respected in this country. Men seek their lower hand regardless of color and gender, and they are carried out. There is a central law of the land, and not like the South where a white man is not allowed to marry her. Unlike the colored women of the United States, the women here will not let the white man use their hands. In the United States his face is white. There is not one child in the whole of Brazil who has been born of a white father out of wedgewood. In the United States his face is white. Character and decency and brain are placed as premium upon the lives of countries and as willing to give their lives for their country as well as the men. The soldiers who are for the most burgeoning and this has been demonstrated in the past in wars of Brazil. This country protects its citizens under its fza. Women would not be tolerated. So I emphasize, if any one in the States is thinking of visiting this country, let it be a real man who who is not of the above calling. I close this article as I have done others. BRAZIL, AND ALL ITS CITIES WITH MUSIC AND CAPABILITY, THAT IS FAR AS I CAN OBSERVE THERE IS NO COLOR OF THE WORLD. THIS ENDS THE SERIES. THE MELTING POT THE MELTING POT The situation at the Wendell Phillips high school is deplorable. Mrs. Fannie Smith stated openly to Mrs. Barnett, Dr. Barnett, that she did not favor the mingling of the races and that she would not feel pleased if she saw a white boy and a woman with a white boy and a white girl. Her reasons were personal, but when closely questioned by Mrs. Young she admitted that it might HIGHLY ABOUT FURTHER RELATIONS. She also stated without waiving or shaking the least concern that she would have competent teachers to be had. Mrs. Barnett then told Mrs. Smith that she was very sorry, but she could aid her students if she would have thought that she wished to simply better the conditions of the students, but that never had nor never would stand for the school. Mrs. Barnett, by Mrs. Barnett when she spoke after Miss Smith at the meeting. Mrs. Barnett's idea was to form a club and as a result she did not understand. She simply misunderstood Miss Smith. The Defender had a stenographer at the meeting and Mrs. Barnett said when she spoke following Miss Smith that she should never sanction the separation of the races. Dr. McDowell went further to declare that she did not think it would clear up the situation to ask for a removal, and the lady said that she did not think of concluding that it would clear out her movements has left the better thinking class of people to believe that she is someone personal indeed to carry out some personal ideas of her to St. Louis to be principal Williams of the Summer high school was uncleared from being a teacher in a Jim Gow school and was strong, strong, sides like many other backacks with the southern white who believes she did not inflict on her. Did Miss Smith go to St. Paul? We will not stand for any of St. Louis ideas in the Wemmell Phillips high school. We never sanctioned this thing: BEWARE, MISS SMITH NEW DRUG STORE OPENS. Mr. Wm. H. Ruff wishes to announce the opening of a first-class drug store at 18 W. 10th Street, the Crystal Pharmacy, Mr. Ruff is well and favorably known as a pharmacist and pharmaceutical chemist in the pharma field, and the Xetra National Association.

George Paul, the popular manager of the States Theater, made another visit to Sheboygan, Wis. first Friday night when he considered a cracker-jack at booking, it wouldn't be surprising if he is negatating a deal to bring some great feature here soon. Well, he hasn't looked any further. "I'll just leave it," Leave is to him, and watch his smile. Should an unfaithful woman be a wife? Should an unfaithful wife have children? These questions challenge the theme of the film, which explores national features ever produced by the Van Film Co. It has created a furor with its depiction of the font of the six thousand feet of this great production, "A Poof Paradise," is replete with thrilling interest. Every man in the film teaches a lesson, and at the same time answers the two questions in a manner that will long remain in your memory, April 31, for one day only. One of the most interesting figures familiar to the regulars at the Grand Theater, especially those who attend the "frats," is Charley C. Van, who gives an account of the development of the United Booking Office. Charley isn't a long as his first name, helping about the same size as his last one, but what he looks in physique he makes up in energy and energy. He is the showcase of the world, mainly as relations to the downtown area, there are several of the downtown agents who rely entirely on Mr. Van's judgment, and it has never been recorded that any one of the three members of the group, not the Indian sign. His perception is great, and he looks an act over with an eye developed by long experience. He has had a career himself on the "stoke," and has made a good deal of work. He is as a character worker. One of the attractions with which he played was Wether's Dainty Duchess. Burlesquers, which starred Joe Howard. He also has a great deal of the same, but not the Indian sign. His perception is more "Mister & Van's Bohemian Burlesquers." The Devil's Daughter, "which ran during the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo at the all Court Street Theater; the New Yorker, "which was a starred starred the great prima donna, Corrine Josephine Hall, and Billy Van, The Jersey Lily, starring Blanche Ring; Cyril Alison big vaudeville act, The Traveler, "which was a starred starred the great "The New Reporter," both of which worked the biggest time in America. He was to have played the Jockey part in the "Jockeys' Club" and the "Jockeys' Club" when, but could not get a contract release from the Cyril Allen company. He also handled an important part with Violet Allen's net, "Keeping An Appointment," and the "New Yorker" and "New Yorker" work with a partner claimed him for a time, which all goes to show that Mr. Van is thoroughly equipped for his present position. He is in the top of the world, and many. He is in the top of the first boost that sent them upward. He is one of the best liked men in the Majestic Building and is very popular with the many agents with whom he does work. Charley is a Phildelphian by birth. The feature on the program at the State Theater on Sunday, April 9th, for one day only, will be Adele Blood, Edwin Stevens and Montagne Love in the new Equitable release, "The Devils' Toy." This picture tells a unique and dramatic story of a man who sells his soul to the Devil to satisfy his desires for fame, wealth and love. The picture is founded on the poem, "The Mills of the Gods." Wilfred Barsley and Paul La France are poor but ambitious artists struggling for fame, recognition and fortune. Barsley's work is hopelessly mediocre, but in Paul burns the fire of real artistic genius. Paul is deeply in love with Helen Danvers, his chief model. Helen is a line, noble, splited girl with dramatic aspirations and determination to succeed. She relieves the Paul's love and the two are planning to marry as soon as either has achieved the success due them. Paul succeeds in selling an occasional painting and is just barely able to keep the wolf from the door. Barsley can sell none of his paintings. His wealthy uncle, Simon Cunningdale, is his sole means of support. In a period of deep desperation over his failure to produce real work of art, Barsley offers himself in prayer to the Devil, proclaiming his willingness to sell his soul for the three things he most desires, fame, wealth and love. The Devil appears at Barsey's side and neces to grant his desires. At the end of the play, he murders his uncle, hiding the body in the old man's treasure vault. By Cunliffe's will Harsley inherits a great meanwhile Helen Danvers has obtained a start on the operatic stage and has begun to work on her heart, Paul to struggle along with his paintings. Paul hides his dire poverty from Helen, writing her of the fictional man who is slowly starving to death in his garrot studio. He becomes violently ill. Darcy counts Paul and finds him deceased. Paul paints his facial features on stained Paul's paintings and palm them off as his own. He sends Paul to a sanitary hospital, where he is stolen paintings, becoming at once haunted as a master artist and thus achieving his second wish. Paul recovers his health and returns to his past. He remains in the sanitaryium, the doctors hoping some day for his complete recovery. He is a famous singer, but is saddened by having lost all trace of Paul. She has never met Barley, but when she meets him, she is supposed paintings, she recognizes in them many of the canvases painted by her and the paintings she lost the mystery and be the master of Barley. To this end Helen practices all her wishes upon Barley and succeeds in inculcating his devotion, passion. She lures him on to the stage, gnause, causing him to waste prodigal sums of money in the gambling salons and entertainment. At last she brings Barley to complete bankrupty. Barley appeals to the Devil, who tells him that he is powerless and unable to resist, which, he is, is the gift of Heaven alone. When Men see that her work done on Barley, accusing him of her devotion, Barley plunges into the sea and meets a murderer. THE GRAND. Le Delle Clark opened the bill here to a big house on Monday night. The feature of the house is the trained dog and a fleet of doves were also used. Harper & Blanks followed.

Miss Marshall knows how to put her work over and each number went big. Burton & Vaughn also got much well-earned applause, and introduced a new and novel line of talk which was a scream.

He begins at the States Sunday will begin at 2:20 a.m. THE MARBLE HEART THE MARBLE HEART By Tony Langston. Sometimes the theme of a play takes such a hold upon the men and women of the audience to portray the varying roles that it lifts up, themselves and converts them into creatures strange even to themselves. Such a thing has happened in the Willingham Theater, where Mr. Heart, which comes to the Washington Theater this Saturday and Sunday, April 18 and 19, in which Valet Horner, Louise Kline and others portray their remarkable roles that no one in an audience watching the picture ever could be convinced that they were actors. The actual participants in the tragic domestic drama living and feeling every emotion; not merely people trying to duplicate female emotions set forth in the play. Louise Rial, as the paralytic mother, could not have been more real and helpless or more terrifying necessarily had she not been the subject of this drama duplicated in real life. The physical, moral and mental deformation that shows in Walter Rial's novel *The Woman in the Mirror*, entitles these two players to take high rank in the picture world for future productions. They assume roles that are not always possible in their treatment, and from the time you first see them after the murder of the husband, Camille, they are solden, self-acusing, fea-tuated humans driven from society, and still deeper glesses of mental torture. The Marble Heart was produced at Kingston, Jamailen, and has had months of production. Those who follow Fox features closely are certain to rank it as Fox's greatest production. It comes on a pink permit, and the children admitted on these two days. TOM BROWN. Tom Brown of Day & Brown, which team is at The Preisicilla, Cleveland, this week, has taken an active part in professional theatricals for nearly thirty years. But even before that time Tom was a flend along that line, and in his boyhood days there wasn't many pinny-pliny, popple shows presented in Tom's home town in which he didn't take part. When a road show or circus hit town he was always Tommy.on-the-spot and all of them were viewed by him from one vantage point or another. Tom took after his dad along that line, and whenever Brown, Sr., attended a show it was the usual thing for Brown, Jr., to be right along with him. Now, in those days he was a young family, at times, had no way to go from those in account for a week or so ahead of time. And his for a week or so ahead of time had to do some tall glurling in order that both of them could pass through the turnstile and gaze at the ticket taker with an independent slant. Well, to make a long story short, one day a wild-west show struck town and the admission signs read "Adults 25 cents, children 10 cents." The Browns checked up and there was just 30 cents in their united treasury. Well, here was a fix. If Dad Brown went in, Tom would have to be satisfied to stand outside and listen to the Indians yell. If Tom went in the pop-well have to remain outside him. It would be so much furiated out a scheme. If took a sandhare chief and tied up one of Tom's eyes, Advanced boldly to the ticket man, he slapped down his 30 cents and said: "One adult ticket and one-half child ticket you see, boss, the boy has only got one ticket. You hurried you'd let him in for half price." "Well, old hoss," said the ticket man, "you can get a ticket you double for him. If he's only got one ticket, will take him twice as long to see you."

MOREHOUSE COLLEGE HAS PROMINENT VISITORS MYSTIC CLUB'S CONCERT. The Mystic Crele Club gave their Third Annual Musicals on Monday evening at St. Mary's A. M. E. Church, 5251 Dearborn Street. The club appeared under the auspices of the Indiana Club of the church. Mrs. Jennie Jones was mistress of ceremonies and a splendid program was rendered before a packed house. The features of the evening were the songs rendered by Mrs. Jessie Harris and Charles Settles and the recitations by Miss Helen Harris.

It was in this number that she showed that she possessed a voice of rare training and unusually sweet. "O Dry Those Tears" was another number that eluded applause. "Who Knows" was well rendered. Miss Helen Harris delighted the audience with "I,las," from Dunbar, a familiar place to all concert goers, but this life miss seemed to have a knack for the Mr. Learner. Interpretation for the great selection that went to Puckett's was another selection that was an old lady. Young men being garbed as an old lady was a little more experience she will develop into an artist. Charles Settles, the boy with the sweet tenor voice, was fine, and "Charles" did his best and the audience appreciated it. He sang Will Mr. M. E. Cook's song, "Wid De Moon, Me" with a "Perfect Day." The MEXICO AS DARKY SEES IT This Glowing Tribute Paid to Sgt. of 24th Inf., By Great Metropolitan Daily —Beat it can say of man who Helps Flight Country's Battles. In the columns of the Chicago Dally Tribune, issued Tuesday morning, March 28, there appeared an article with this giving repugnant, hateful headline; The "darkness" referred to is a sergeant in the 21th U.S. Inf., whose tenure of service in the U.S. army has claimed the best days of his life and who is now among the leading troops in the interior of Mexico in quest of the notorious brigand, Francisco Villa. Does the white man appreciate the fact that in persistently impurging the colored citizenry and solidly of this great republic by referring to them in terms malleolously designed to inflict pain, depression and humiliation, he himself grows less worthy of the Christian civilization which God in His wisdom has seen fit to grant us? Does the white man appreciate the fact that by continually thrusting the firebrands of hatred and prejudice into their hearts he will inevitably burn out the throbs of love, loyalty and patriotism which have breathed forth vows of unbroken consonance? That he is absolutely conscious of his nonholiness toward the uplift of his black brother is beyond the question of a doubt. But unfortunately he allows himself to be contentedly engulfed in deception by the black man's seemingly overstating patience. What race, when bound as they were to the rack, so seldom stoned to grieving? What race, when free again, forsoot the past and proved them men so noble in forgiving? And though the white man credits us Can You Sing Singing Classes are now being ar- ranged. Choirsees coached, individual lessons at your home, experienced instructor in tone playing, voice building.

Jake Abarn, manager of the club, thought he had an able substitute for Hawkins in Kit'Cotton of Philadelphia. Jake was evidently very much mistaken, for Jeannette landed the dreamland punch shortly after the bell sounded in the second round, and Cotton, who is 6 feet 3 inches and welts 217 pounds, thought he was on a trip to the Milky Way. Jeannette punished Cotton unmeredfully in the first session, when he repeatedly sent Coto to the ropes with left and right hand punches. Cotton was really for the count at the expiration of the first session, but decided to attempt to stay another. Jannette, however, landed a terrific righthand punch to Cotton's jaw and the F-ladelphion hit the PASTOR RECEIVES CLEAN BILL. The Rev. Harry M.

St. Louis, Mo, April 7—Saman Langford, the known as the sporting world as the Tar Tar gated gated $50.00 from the pocket of the St. Louis fight bats, incidentally put Jeff sleep in the fifth stage of their little dictate, and caught the 10:40 train back to the land of baked beans. At no point did he ever sleep in Boston man forced to extend himself and the only moment the Easterners above mentioned $60.00. On the other hand I have every reason to believe that Jeff will have vivid memories of the environment into the third and fourth generations. Western Man Outweighed. The Joulin man tipped the scales at 175, while Langford admitted that he had been "very interested in things about his stomach.

Apply at Brown's, Moss P. lued the bandages around the Ghost's head to see if she was any worse on shoes, and she didn't. Out of fear they were any softer out if perchance they were any softer to meet the group meeting. Referee Sharpe did the official sing, and to say who pulled the song, in the first line, "I can't expect everything." Ghost Attempts to Be Elusive: Upon the sound of the gong, the Fighting Ghost jumped off in the lead. He put up a game sprint around the ring, if the ring had been round and banked, no doubt Langford would never have caught him. Evidently the St. Louis promoters were not aware of Jeff's prejudices toward round rings. It is impossible to say how long the sprint would have lasted if the Joplin man had not accidentally run into one of Sam's short punches. The surprise sort of took Jeff off of his feet and he lay there on the canvas gasping while the referee slowly counted seven. It looked for a moment as if the meeting was going to adjourn right then and there; but the Ghost, with an effort, managed to get on his feet. Once in a standing position he abandoned his sprinting tactics and assumed the role of a wrestler. He embraced the Rottoman most affectionately. Sam did not seem to be in a mood for spooning, so commenced a murderous pounding over his opponent's left kidney. Clarke Covers Well. Aside from his sprinting ability and his wrestling technique, Clarke showed considerable strength. The only open for Langford's jaws was the top of Jeff's jaws and a little spot over his left glove. Langford gave him a glove. Langford chose the latter to pound upon, less bone there, he thought, because of what my first class physician diagnoses as desquamative nephritis. On our course, Jeff made a mistake and took a bite out of the Boston man's anatomy; but each time Jeff's countenance showed such unproportionate repentance that Sam forgave him and was able to put him out of the way for keepin'. St. Louis Fighters Possess Beautiful Names. Aside from the main bout, the Future City Athletic Club, which singed the affair, presented several preliminaries which were screams, if not from a pulgillate point of view, from their artistic originality of nomenclature. For example, "Kid Inly" and "Cow's Milk" delighted the fans with a fifty-little dance set. "Cow's Milk," although the larger of the two, secured up and lost to his more concentrated brother by resorting to foul tactics. Ed Green, called Edward for short, but most times "Yaller," mixed it up considerably with "Alligator Kid" and was awarded the verlet. The semi-finals, which, by the way, were staged after the main bout, so that Mr. Langford could enter the top 10, presented Kid Alberts, a game had of experience but who promised great things. These had put up a more interesting performance than the main bugs and finished in a fast eight-round draw. A resume of the Sam-Jeff bout follows: First Round—Sam chases Jeff all around the place; finally catches and chastles him severely for running. In fact, he strikes him prostrate. Jeff tries to tickle Sam under chin. Sam remonstrates with blow over kidney. Langford's round. Second Round—Jeff makes mistake and hits Sam but is sorry and forgiven. Sam thinks about his 10-40 train and Jeff wonders why they make Sam a ring so small. Jeff ellnehes and Sam starts battering ram over Jeff's kidneys all over again. Langford's round. Third Round—Sam thinks about $650 and lets Jeff send a punch into his bread basket. Jeff promised not to do it again. Sam resumes his punches over Clarke's kidneys. Fourth Round—Langford pounds on Jeff from time going rings until gong rings for him to stop. Clarke stagers to his corner and wishes he was home in Joplin. Ninth Round—Langford sends right to stomach. Jeff kills Langford with a stare. Sam retaliates by right to jaw. Jeff gets even by hitting the floor. Hears referee count nine, gets up, starts to Sam, and referee, to show that all men are not brutes, prevented a murder by stopping the bout. A. B. C.'S VICTORS Montgomery, Ala., April 7. — The Indianapolis A. B.

A large crowd turned out to see the two players home populate being with the Grey Sox. FATHER ASSASSINATED FOR SUPPOSED SON'S DEED Kingston, N. C., April 7.—The country here is wild over the taking from the fall of Mr. Joseph Black, father of William, who, it is alleged, tried to assist his son to escape from the hands of assassins who claimed the young man tried to rape a white girl. Many of the prominent white ministers and business men took a hand in the affair and claimed that they must have a "nigger" to pay, and if they could not get the father they would kill the first one they met on the country road. At a secret meeting tonight a number of young race men have banded themselves together to avenge the death of Mr. Black. One gentleman, in addressing the body, said: "If this country can afford to spend $50,000 a day to catch Villa, they ought to spend the same amount to send troops into Georgia, North Carolina and other southern states to protect life." But he was sure of one thing—that before the trouble in Kingston is settled they will have to send the entire army here. The men in this section are arming to give battle to avenge the death of Mr. Black. CHURCH RALLY Great Falls, Mont. April 7—The Ladies' Ald of the A. M.

Weillington Berry Nashville, Tenn., April 7.—The Nashville Board of Trade, the Race organization of this city, scored during the past week when its contention was upheld that the fund of $20,000, which is being raised for the benefit of fire sufferers of Nashville should be expended for all alike. The race organization itself raised nearly $2,000 in help in the relief work, in the great conflagration it was brought about, and in the course of that there were more families of the Race who lost everything than whites, as many of the latter were owners of property and had insurance. Others had relatives and friends who were financially able to come to their rescue. The plan adopted by the instance of the Race's board of Trustees, the粒度, the rehabilitation of more than 250 of the race's and 123 of these have already been reestablished at a cost of about $7,000. The work is progressing very satisfactory and the following committee of Race men have an oversight of the work being done; A. N. Johnson, president of the Race Committee, Chairman of the Singleton, Dr. F. Stewart, Dr. Wesley Crutcher, Dr. Clay Moore, Dr. Haynes and D. Wellington Berry. Dr. George E.

The relief work is being conducted from headquarters in the Duncan Hotel here and Dr. Haynes's staff of women and investigators are stationed also in hotel and sustain the same relation to Charities Commission at the white wards in New Commerce Clubs. It is far from the need to be made a public, as the BEAVER VETERAN HURLER LOOKS SAME TO GIANTS Higginbotham Hit Hard by Chicago Nine, Who Walk Away With Second Game, Five to Two; Six Thousand See Game. Sacramento, Cal, April 7. — Inability to bring the offerings of April Washington, 18th-century Los Angeles to the Los Angeles of "Rube" Foster and the poor fielding of Shortstop Ward were two of the American Giants walking off with the second game by a 5 to 2 score. With a deceived understanding, Ward more deceived that his delivery, Washington tobbed on the mound to good effect, lining after lining Mack in the first plate, only to have the majority of them return to their starting point. Portland's first primary the fault of the youthful blubber. GIANTS BEAT PORTLAND Sacramento, April 7.—There were only two or three bright spots in the terrified drubbing of the Chicago American Giants. The Red Cross was the first to return to the city's home where "Lovey Lou" Gulbit's Guards's and Dave White. The three saved a very dim day for the Beavens with two thousands of cars and one of the most small Smith, in the house. In the four seasons the Beavers have been playing the great colored team, there was never a score of the top of the world. The most popular team that twirled for the Mackenmen allowed Hill of the Giants to make four hits out of five times up, two home runs, a double, and a single in the first inning, which had a clean singles and the ninth inning, whiated that allowed him to stretch it into a fine line. It is not possible to get back to the ball back. The other circulation burners went over the fence. Gus Fisher was in the game only as a pinch to make the game, but he was pinched for Smith in the eighth with Haworth and Hollocherப்பard. The bag and kissed one over the right-fielder and was a few more in the next place gave the Beavers a more grateful exit from the awful carnage. Dave White didn't do much in the fielding line, but the right-fielder was a few more in the first inning. The Spiralkist Johnson McCredie's two young pitchers were completely two of the running-loving like an amateur in front of the American Team. The top of the digs drops. Smith got by pretty well for a couple of innings and then Hill found him to be the first to win the fifth. The Chief had two out in the sixth, which he gathered six bingles, including a Triple, that were good for three runs. Higginboth played the inning and a couple of errors by Hollocher gave the Africans their eleventh run. Bobby Vaughn and his bilateral feet had had alongside the ground covering of the pitch, but the ground rough was hard on the Fertile outfielders who were continually letting long niles hop by them for extra hauses. The pitch was from the first game. In 1983 the Recruits out of six games to the sable athletes and yet they pennant. ab, r, h, o, a Wille, cf. 4 0 3 0 0 Nixon, 2h. 4 0 0 3 2 Nixon, 2h. 4 0 0 3 2 Spears, if. 4 0 0 1 0 Gulsto, 1h. 5 1 4 9 1 Stumpf, 1h. 5 1 4 9 1 Havort, ss. 5 1 0 1 0 Ward, ss. 1 0 0 4 5 Pan, p. 0 0 0 0 1 South, p. 0 0 0 0 1 Holloser, ss. 2 1 1 2 2 Fisher. 1 1 1 0 0 Higginsbotham, p. 0 0 0 0 Totals. 38 6 10 27 19 *Batted for Smith in the eighth.

Leo Patterson won from Eddie Sanders at Chicago in the main game, which was staked for ten rounds. Eddie Sanders won the toughest boys that he ever boxed at the Spring Opera House. It looked as though Patterson had about all in, as early as the third round, but Eddie would come up strong after every round, and there are quite a few who think he would have come back for the ninth had it not been for one of his seconds throwing in a towel just as the first round. He was in awful beating in the eighth round and in the eighth round and in the right side. Patterson is undoubtedly a little champion, having only lost but a decision in the past year. He lost this decision to Leo Johnson at St. Louis in eight rounds. There are quite a few who think Patterson is John-Hughes, who given a 15 or 20-round go. J. Battlin's Viney and Xilton Snyder of Louisville was the next on the board, and for a few rounds there seemed to be a good scrap coming, but Viney for Snead in the first round and also in the third when Snead quit the three-year-old. Patterson was in right in not the Smith wasn't was no doubt of a foul, but unintentional, as Viney is a boxer. Young Cream and not opened the premlight be called a "re- The aggressor-a "great advantage" both made after Second Basenan Bauchman had allowed two men on bases by boots on easy chances. Portland played a much better game yesterday than on Thursday, although the Mackmen did not his as hard. The Infield looked fairly good. The Giants cared nothing for the reputation of Ive Higginbotham. In the glimpses he worked Higginbotham was found for eight hits. The Giants' blows were powerful smashes. As usual, "Lovey Low" Gialto did his bit of timely hitting for the Beavers. Gialto drove in Portland's first run in the seventh with a sizzling single to left center, scoring Nixon. Again in the ninth Gialto was robbed of a two-bagger by Gialto's good catch in left field. Pitcher Sallorton, who succeeded Higginbotham on the hilltop for the Beavers, loomed up better than the two recruit pitchers Mack started on Thursday. Although Sallorton was found for five hits in three innings, he exhibited, along with a lot of coomess, an excellent assortment of looks. Sallorton, who pitched last season in the Western League, looks like Coast League material. Lloyd Singles. Neither club got a run in the first frame, but the Giants started after Higginbotham in the second, and they scored their first two runs on three hits. Lloyd started it with a hit to left. Then Grant hit to the same field for the first of his three blows. Gans sacrificed the two runners around a base. Franels hit to right, scoring Lloyd. Then Bauchman drove one at Higginbotham, who fielded the ball, but who fell down just as he was trying to catch Grant at the plate. That was all of the scoring, but it served to give the Giants the confidence in their ability to gather off the veteran. Although Portland got men on in the second and third, they were unable to get around, due to the effective pitching of Washington. It was in the fourth-hitting that the Giants scored again. With one in an down Gans made second after Stump overthrew first base. Franels went out, Ward to Gutsbe, but Gans scored a minute later on Bauchman's three-cushlon bang. The Giants made their last two in the seventh. After Washington had been struck out by Sothoron, who replaced Higginbotham, I'eway went to second on Ward's overthrow. Then Hill hit, scoring Petway. Although Hill flew out to Gutsbe's Fisher, Duncan got on when Ward kicked another one away. Then Lloyd singled to right field, scoring Duer. Portland's Lucky Seventh. The tale of Portland's accomplishments in the time is easily told. It happened when Nixon and onuses by Bauhaus' error, Galito hit on issues by the man, man up, walked, and Stumph hit to canon, man up, walked, and Stumph hit to canon when Ward willed out and was all over when Washington to Grant. McCready has the Washington to Grant.

WHAT ARE SIMILAR are in many instances for one man to do is wrong for most cultures with scales balanced, but it is on orbings to mind thoughts of the millennium and as time rolls on we have accustomed.

Case No. 1. The scene is held in Richmond, Va. a little thirteen-year-old colored girl living with white people. He waited an asking advantage of the stranger before a judge and got a continuance fixed at two thousand dollars. No colors or drawn pistols entered this courtroom that was thought due case No. 1. The tenant. And this is justice as we find it we coming to? I have happened if the cases were never taken out by indignant colored men in the country would come out with scare blacks, the state militia would immortal general slaughtering of innocent people there is a such a difference. But—and these words—there will come a time virtue; when the black man, realizing a old keep himself from being further killer a force that will be remembered for all willing to abide by the laws as we find every other man, woman and child do, will tolerate us as soon as we is coming faster than the outsider knot, who knows? THINGS THAT ARE SIMILAR are in many instances made so different. What is right for one man to do is wrong for another man to do. Justice is ever pictured with scales balanced, but it is only a picture fair to look upon, that brings to mind thoughts of the millennium. In real life it is goddamn seen, and as time rolls on we have accustomed ourselves to the unequal plan. There are so many elements that enter into each particular case it is difficult to point to any one as the most harmful. It is not because our laws are defective or not comprehensive enough to cover the ground, for our laws are as good if not better than those of any other country. The fault is they are not enforced. Public sentiment is greater than the law, and until public sentiment is changed for the better we will continue to have mob rule; men will continue to violate any law they choose and depend on politics to keep them from suffering the consequence. In a little town in Oklahoma the past week a young colored man was before the court CHARGED with raping a thirteen-year-old white girl. There had been nothing proven on the young fellow; in fact it wasn't necessary to go to the trouble of proving anything; it would be simply a waste of time and expense to the state, so a few of the "best citizens" marched into the court room, took the prisoner right from before the judge's eyes, out into the room, and lynched him. Case No. 1. Case No. 2. The scene is laid in Richmond, Ma. A white "gentleman" (?) selected a little thirteen-year-old colored girl as his prey. She happened to be living with white people. He waited until they, had left the house before taking advantage of the child. Strange but true, he was arrested, taken before a judge and a continuance for several weeks, his bond being fixed at two thousand dollars. No colored mob with ropes, tar and feathers or drawn pistols entered this courtroom and inflicted the brutal punishment that was thought due case No. 1. The cases were allike but yet so different. And this is justice as we find it in this land of the free. What are we coming to? What would have happened if the cases were reversed; that is, if this white brute were taken out by indignant colored men and lynched? The papers all over the country would come out with scare headlines about the brutality of the blacks, the state militia would immediately be called into service, and a general slaughtering of innocent people would commence. Any well mark these women would come a door when violence will cause to be a virtue; when the black man, realizing that he must strife back if he would keep himself from being further kicked in the gutter, will strike with a force that will be remembered for all ages to come. We are ready and willing to abide by the laws as we find them on the statute books provided every other man, woman and child does likewise; we ask no special legislation, will tolerate none as soon as we got the mental strength which is coming faster than the outsider knows. Today there's a difference; tomorrow, who knows? SLAVE does not necessarily mean that a master and driven much as a horse, or a yawl exists everywhere, among all people. When once a habit, especially an injunction holds and seldom lets go till the depths of degradation. Of what is termed a moderate drinker, the list it alone just as he pleases, it is difficult of his statement. Never having it only for a short time, he feels confident in found putting his will power to the table, the ties that bind him to his cup and throw off the bondage. More chance for the out-and-out drunkman who man who foolishly believes he has his mind and can take so many portions per day is the drunkman in his sober moments can which he has sunk. He knows by bitter, the moderate drinker, has yet to learn another and so on until the human side dominates. As Rev. Parkhurst says, and instead of the man part of him owning the animal part owns and masters the rest of him is down in the dust, a slave, all the more debased for having been on a of splendid self-mastery. Drivetim taking his first steps in self-surrection like insidiousness with which his cringing bands of servitude. The very devil's bondage, not drives them there. It is, therefore, that we regard the first step out there is no room in the heart for a forgiveness for the wretch who secures it initiates the poor fellow's servitude by that way courteously and gently place thread that will appear as a cable too heavy. TO BE A SLAVE does not necessarily mean that one must be owned by a human master and driven much as a horse, or a yoke of oxen, to their daily task. Slavery exists everywhere, among all peoples, among the rich and the poor alike. When once a habit, especially an infurious one, is formed vice-like it takes hold and seldom lets go till the victim is dragged down to the lowest depths of degradation. In the case of what is termed a moderate drinker, that is, one who says he can drink or let it alone just as he pleases, it is difficult to convince him of the untruthfulness of his statement. Never having made the test, or if having made it only for a short time, he feels confident of his will power, but he is seldom found putting his will power to the test. He doesn't stop drinking because the ties that bind him to his cup are stronger than his determination to throw off the bondage. There is more chance for the out-and-out drunkard to reform than there is for the man who foolishly believes he has his appetite for liquor under control and can take so many portions per day without experiencing any evil effects. The drunkard in his sober moments can be made to realize the depths into which he has sunk. He knows by bitter experience what the other fellow, the moderate drinker, has yet to learn, and that is, one drink calls for another and so on until the human side is drowned and the animal side predominate. As Rev. Parkhurst says, he is part man and part animal, and instead of the man part of him owning and mastering the animal part, the animal part owns and masters the man part, and the human element of him is down in the dust, a slave, fettered, manacles, whipped, and all the more debased for having been originally endowed by God with powers of unendless self-mastery. The young victim taking his first steps in self-surrender has no realization of the snake-like insidiousness with which his captor weaves about him the tightening bands of servitude. The very devil is in it, who caresses his victims into bondage, not drives them there. It is with a feeling of affectionate pity, therefore, that we regard the first steps taken by the alcoholic recruit, but there is no room in the heart for anything like pity or sympathy or forgiveness for the wretch who secures the enlistment of the recruit and who initiates the poor fellow's servitude by proffering him the first one and in that way courteously and gently placing him the alluring silken thread that will appear as a cable too heavy to be thrown off.

THERE IS VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to the color question in the South, so it is not surprising that the Louisiana white and colored Republicans will send contesting delegations to the Chicago national convention on June 7th. The white end of it met in state convention recently in New Orleans at a hotel that barred colored people from entering, a ruse of course to keep them out of the political game; but it didn't work out as satisfactorily as they had planned; the colored delegation returned to their headquarters and called a convention for April 27th. That they will get a hearing when they arrive in Chicago goes without saying. The North, even though dominated in a measure by the South, has awakened to the fact that the South is fraudulently getting a great deal of representation in Washington; the colored man counts only in making up the grand total of population; when it comes to the ballot he is frozen out completely. "No black domination" is their battle cry and they stop at nothing to carry their point.

The 11-year-old boy, who refused a few weeks ago, The boy was sent to the Eldora Reformatory for nine years. The Judge has disgraced himself and the state by imposing such a sentence upon a boy, unaccountable and irresponsible for his acts. It is a shame and a disgrace to the State. The judge, being a man of merely expressing himself. The Judge's action is quite contrary to the editorial opinion of most all the Race papers that saw fit to discuss the matter. The Judge did not think of the rebels who shot holes through the Stars and Stars, and the J.E.W.H. of the Black Men in the Wars, who cussed and damned the Stars and Stripes, and then were given opportunity to go to Annapolis and West Point. Some of the very men's sons who shot holes in the flaps are now given the best position in the Black Men in the Wars are being sent to reformatories. While the soldiers of the Tenth Cavalry are going into Mexico, Judges are sending our sons to reform schools; while our sons are with the Twenty-fourth Infantry, carrying the价值观, the service of its military任务 to prison for merely speaking his sentiment, that according to his age are unaccountable. The soldiers desire to call attention to the fact that they accept such acts as this with the expected覆盖率. This is the purpose of the volunteer army, the officers of its membership to the United States Government in case the Mexican situation calls for the service of veterans who have served their country honestly and faithfully, in spite of this, such unholy acts as the purpose of this judge go unchallenged. Why do you Therefore, he it resolved. That as American citizens we condemn this act by his act, condemns this irresponsible and unaccountable boy of tender years to a long term of servitude in a penal institution, and the trance of the doors of that reformatory, he is branded as a criminal and will bear the stigma of a criminal during the balance of his life. That in view of the loyalty and patroltion of the black American in all periods of our country's development either in war or peace, this act is a prejudice against a prejudiced judge is but another evidence of the growth of a devilish animosity toward a loyal and patriotic integral part of our nation. This act has never before been questioned by any man or set of men in the history of the nation. That we demand justice at the hands of the chief executive of the State of Iowa, and call upon all our sister camps of the U. S. W. V. throughout the country to assist us in righting Resolved.

Five or six years ago Wabash avenue was one of the prettiest streets on the South Side. The people took care of their homes, cleaned their clothes, and cleaned. Even the street cleaners took pride in doing their duty. But how things have changed. Owners of properties in Wabash avenue never do you see a painter in the spring of the year painting a house or that building and just now and then do you see a painter. You can just where there is a "For Rent" sign and a man will be there with some whitewash, calling himself frescoing the house. Not only this, some parts of Wabash avenue are not protected by "street women" and respectable people can not pass on some parts of the house. There is a lot being accepted by some woman who wants to turn the street into a "lever" district. There are too many decent and respectable who are on Wabash avenue and not on the street. Women should be sent to this neighborhood and put a stop to women accosting men. A Defender reporter was stopped the day before a woman wanted to escort him to a nearby house, but she saw his badge and left him in double-quick time. It's up to the woman who wanted to complain at the $30 street station and see that their blocks are kept clean of these habitats. A number of people have inside complaints to this office and more complaints to the matter by the Chicago Defender. Old Mississippi Old Mississippi By Lewis Ross. Greenville, Miss., April 7.—The Y.

TUBERCULOSIS AND MARRIAGE As has often been said, tuberculosis is as old as civilization, and the important question how man is to live, how to contend with, control and prevent tuberculosis. The only way to learn how to control and prevent tuberculosis is through a thorough campaign of education. The people must be taught the importance and incidence of tuberculosis, the methods and channels of distribution of tuberculosis and the methods and means by which tuberculosis may be and can be controlled and prevented. The problem of tuberculosis is a community problem—a state and a national problem and not solely an individual problem. The campaign of education in regard to the control and prevention of tuberculosis must be a campaign of intelligent, cooperative team work. The people must be made to realize that tuberculosis is curable in that climate; the people must be made to cure tuberculosis is a long and tedious one; that the cure is best brought about through institutional care. We are spending thousands and the equipment of institutions and sanitation for the care and treatment of tuberculosis. The medical treatment of tuberculosis is not as important a factor as good medical supervision, advice and directing of the patients. They are much aroused when they read of some great disaster where there are thirty or forty lives lost, such as a great fire or railroad wreck. The thing that impresses us most is the suddenness of the disaster. But do we realize that there are over 200,000 people infected by tuberculosis in the United States? You realize that right here in Chicago there are over fifteen thousand people sick and disabling with this one disease—tuberculosis? Do you realize that in the State of Illinois we have between eight and ten thousand people dying annually with tuberculosis? Do you realize that here in the city of Chicago four thousand people are claimed by this disease we call "consumption," and that one personifies every three minutes in the United States, twenty every hour and fifteen thousand days every thirty days; and yet some people say that consumption is "just a her cold," "just a cough," to be curried home remedies, including pleats whisky and foul air, as some people will let a breath of fresh air cer a room, night or day, for fear of giving the sick person more "cold." Some people are more afraid of "co," the pure cold air, than of disease germs. Marriage Marge and tuberculosis are not good rinners; they do not go well together. We often have something like following questions put to us: "Doctol' am engaged to a very fine young man. I love her. She has a little eigh and has had a 'heavy cold' to five or six months. Yes, I know its nothing but a 'cold'. She has be falling off some—getting thin 'at' they say 'she' may have a little ash of tuberculosis, but if she gets mated, marriage will be good for her tuberculosis, as it often cures tuberculosis. Would you advise me to marry?" And jst this week we had this prosinil put to us: "Doctor my health has been failing me for soout a rear. I gain and I lose weight. I have a little cough, especially of mornings; am a little short of breath; heart action and pulse rapt, don't sleep well. I am troubled with a little pain in one of my lungs, but that is just due to a 'little cold.' I know it is nothing else and I was to get married, because 'they say that if I get married to this health young woman that I love, it will cure me of this 'heavy cold'; and I don't marry her, this woman.' So I get her tuberculosis. So I marry her! then, too, doctor, I haven't any good home surroundings; the food at my boardingice is bad; the room where I sleep is not suitable for good ventilation, and I believe if we get married and occup separate rooms and be when she can care for me, I shall soon get well. What would you advise me, doctor? We would advise that yo. postpone your marriage indefinitely. Have a careful examina- tion and diagnosis made of your case and submit yourself to a careful medical supervision, either in an institution (which is better, of course, for the treatment of tuberculosis), or outside. If you get married with either active or latent tuberculosis in your system, the conjugal state is sure to aggravate and make your disease worse. And, too, the diseased partner to the marriage is very apt, sooner or later, to infect or give the disease to the healthy partner. Should there be any offspring as a result of your marriage, the children are very apt to come into the world handicapped with favorable constitutions for tuberculosis. The children are apt to be narrow-chested, preoccupied with the glands of the neck. They will sticky and feeble charges upon their parents and are very likely door for early graves. The marriage stakes cares and responsibilities. people with tuberculosis should be and carry as few cares and responsibilities as possible. The making of a living for two and often more, if worry and our sinuous America life, are very in touch to a tuberculous person. As to how long you should postpone your marriage, we would advise that you postpone it for one year at least, after you have been cured of all signs and symptoms of tuberculosis and have been restored to full working and learning capacity. If you marry a young woman, knowing at the time of marriage that they are endangered the life of the young wife, or vice versa; to that extent, you have committed a crime, and the courts in some states of this country so regard it, and have freely granted divorce to the deceased and injured person. So if you marry this young woman having a "touch" of tuberculosis, as you say, you not only throw upon her a barrier but you commit a crime, and for which crime, on proper complaint on her part, the courts will freely divorce her.
