MADDEN'S INCORPORATORS BEAT CHICAGO, 24 TO 15 WAKES UP FRIEND TO SHOOT HIM FINAL EDITION Madden's Hustlers Beat Chicago All-Stars Madden's Hustlers Beat Chicago All-Stars Locals No Match for "Democracy Lads" Eighth Regiment Armory, Chicago. —Twas a disappointing game Christmas afternoon when Will Anthony Middleton king of the basket ball world and Michael Jordan came with his democratic team and showed the basket ball fans of this city how the game should be played, his team's team is so good; that the Chicago Warriors win the Warush Y. M. C. A. team of last year, we must accept on their feet. New Yorker Superb At no stage of the game did the local lads have a show. From the time the first whistle blew till the final the New Yorkers dazzled along with brine boys and this month the 'milac boys' and caused many of the lads root for the visitors to win. It was simply too much New York. Again it clearly demonstrated that one star cannot not over will make a lot of credit. His team all stars yet none try at any time to outshine each other. It was a steady piece of team work, each man doing his portion or bit to win the game, and the big town had their eyes on. Twenty minutes after the fray was over three of Madden's best players were bundled into the Wabash Y. M. C. A. and put to bed. Their game, their imminent threat, took their thought. On the other hand, the Chicago team has been built around Virgil Bluett and he was a marked man, being covered at all times. His free throws were his his history, he missing five in a row. Not placing anything in too say to detract from the easterners' victory, we will pause to say with heavy emphasis that Madden's team is put to the minute. A ball and play, while Chicago has a smattering of a team which plays to the gallery and knows very little about the game when it comes to accurate passing and covering up men. A time a Chicago player would take a ball and try to bring it the whole length of the playing court, only to it taken away from him by one he eastern players. This was their greatest task to bring it the way and then toss a basket. No want of team work. Houston, Tex., Dec. 25. "Why did Capt.

New York spectator to get ruckle and not seeing Chicago given penalties for rough work they protested to the referees but without success. Feeling ran high and towards the last of the game Winters and Slocum started to hold up. A moment later the New York players got into a mixup. Crowds swarmed on the field, which was enough for New York to have handed the game. A Bluett's brother, in the middle, was non-commissioned and was out there. The crucial minutes it looked as though it was a free for all fight. This doesn't do the game any good, especially as it is. Just getting a good start here, the game that the promoters would protest it as, Madden had two white men. Madden says there was nothing in the contract that prohibited him from playing it. It was.

The team came into Chicago's territory, but Slocum missed a basket by a close margin. Cook missed a try for goal after hits into a technical foul called on him. New York First to Score Some fast team work was clever passing brought the New York boys within striking distance and Slocum started the scoring with a pretty basket, making a difficult shot. No sooner had the crowd settled down than did Turner bring them to their seat with another basket, causing the New Yorkers to gain not only a bargain but they displayed more pep.

HAIR GROWN IN THREE MONTHS Good Christmas Bills at All Vaudeville Houses "One minute of keeping your mouth shut is worth an hour of explanations." The Avenue Simms & Warfield, who have lately returned from a long trip in the west, were the principal act of interest here the past half of the past, week; the act, a real crackerjack and is a laugh from one end to the other. Jos. Simms has shone for years in a comedian, a d never in the past has been enabled to show his waren in the manur in which he does in the present vehicle; Warfield to clever straight, who has an excellent voice and a pleasant personal- Tony Langston Tony Langston ity, and he sure knows how to put a song over. It is a military idea, and the boys extract all that could possibly come from it, which is saying a lot. Other boys included Lajoe Three and fine comedian Lajoe city; "Dream of the Trencan" a military sketch of fair quality, the stage dressing of which was better than the acting; Sarucci & Parel, accordionist and ha jists, who did wonders on instruments, getting a couple of real Waters, Waters & Hastings, a cabaret act of lead merit, and Laypo & Benjamin, comedy absurdist extraordinary. The first half of this week opened with the Two Yaquals, an Indian act that introduced some native dances, etc. before they acted in a live, theatrical; the act is a fine one, and was recorded some mitt at its conclusion. They were followed by Hallyan & Khalil, singing and taking pair of fellows who had been along the entertaining line; both good singers, their talk is of the sort that gets you, and the comedy refreshing, depicts the advenir dramatic sketch depicting the adventurous social worker among the crooks, hooplins and heathens, was great, the elitmax pulling everyone out of their pianologue, introduced some origin and other songs in a pleasing manner. He was followed by Holden & Harron in a singing and talking offering, the act being a musical juggage & Co., two of the greatest shots that ever peeped along a rifle barrel. The Grand The Griffin Sisters, who have been away from the Stroll for a long time, made their reappearance here to crowded houses, on Monday night. THOMAS SANTSCHI "Big Bill" O'Shanness is the hero's name in "Who Shall Take My Life?" a seven-reel special feature, and the character is played by Thomas Sanschi, one of the greatest actors in picnics. Sanschi played opposite William Faulkner in "The Spoilers" and has starred in many of the greatest productions. The all-star cast is splendid and each individual does some very fine acting. Among them are Fritzil Brunette, Edward Coxen, Bessie Elyton, Harry Lonsdale, Eugene Besorer, Al W. Filson and Virginia Kirtley. their company has been augmented by the addition of Ed Peat, a real comedian, and there are now seven in the company. The old-time Stroll favorite, and three real dancing girls, who are all able to shake a mean hip. There is a plot to the latest offering of the famous sisters, and the new comedian's adverse criticism is possible for the act as a whole, the only fault being in the lyrics of the comedian's song single, which was eliminated after the act. The scenery and costuming is fine, and the act is well worth looking over, even for the second time. The work of the act is so well known to need comment, so little is weakened, which means lots. They will remain all week. Other acts were Hearne and Rutter, a dancing act of high school age, who gained great applause, their Hula Hula Burlesque; Harry Rose, one of the best "Nut" acts in vaudeville, and the Three Laskey trio, who posing group of girls, who were naked by the use of a stereopcon and slides. Joe Shettell's Eight Black Dots were the real feature of a fine bill the last half of the past week, and the act went over great at every show. Others out were the Edwards, a fine novelty; Hazel Kearns, a fine novelty; and Co., in a clever domestic sketch and Ricardo & Noblette, a wonderful ventriloquist. The Monogram Billy King Co. No. 2, opened their second big week here on Monday after that company can change their offering two or three times a week is well known as the aggregation show, which is part of the King Co. seasons in main part of the King Co. which is the Grand theater's "piece de resistance. Billy Higgins, the feature designer of the press, Burroughs Brooks, who are the owners of this company, are among the cleverest performers on the stage today. They sure do surprise the stuff, and they sure sounded like a line of support. New songs, dialogue and dances are introduced, and the second week is a little stronger even than that of the week past. Don't fall to see it. BYRON BROS. One of the finest musical acts in vaudville is the Musical Byron, which comes to the Grand for New York. It is not alone from a musical standpoint do the Byron shine; it is accorded to be one of the best dressed acts in the business, and is a delight to the eye, not alone from a musical standpoint which will be seen here for the first time during this engagement is the celebrated dansseuse. Syrene Navarro, who was the sensation of two continents a few years ago, she prepares for the show, which are wonderful. Off stage the Byron boys, as they are familiarly called by their logion of friends, are very popular. Real Chicago theaters are the only places where they are always accorded a great welcome when they play a local house and they surely will make a fine holiday attraction. There are Charles S. Fredrick Benjamin, Herbert H. and Clarence all the best followed and real musicians. The engagement is for all week, and they have been surrounded by excellent bills for both halves. Don't fall to advantage of this great musical treat. KID THOMAS Kid Thomas, Cusmay and the Jolly Dancing Girls are having fine success; the act closed a wonderfully strong performance last week and on the strength of the great showing were immediately booked up over a fine line over the Marcus Loew time. The kid's great performance and the entire works went with a hailight. This week they are featured at Miller's theater, Milwaukee. Wis. with the Rialto, Chicago, to follow. The act is one of the fastest working and best dressed acts in vaudeville and deserves all the success which it is having. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER INTOLERANCE --- Popular demand has forced the management of the States theater to rebook for two days. Friday and Saturday of this week, the greatest production of them all, "Intolerance." At the time of its last three days' run here there were thousands who were unable to gain admission to this popular playhouse and as a consequence hundreds of letters, telephone calls and gardening one more chance to see this wonderful feature. There are no words adequate to describe the marvels of "Intolerance," either as a tale or a promotion; indeed there are four separate brought to a final end, and these mark the struggle of love and tolerance from the early periods to the modern story when springs into being in the middle of a season. Never been such a stupendous production conceived, much less attempted. When the announcement was made that 125,000 people were used and over 15,000 were spent on "Intolerance" the truth was that this picture cost more than any ten pictures cost more than any ten pictures that you ever saw. The expense which the States theater went to bring "Intolerance" into their hands came to the matries, if possible, in partnership with Mr. Paul's idea of giving his patrons the best, no matter what the cost. This will be the last chance to see this wonderful film and it is adored to come to the matries, if possible, in line. As during the previous engagement, Bailey's famous States orchestra will dispense special music during each show; several instruments will be added to make this final showing of "Intolerance" one long to be remembered by those who attend. The afternoon prices will be 15c for children and 25c for adults, and at night all seats will be 25c.

HART Never on the screen, stage or canvas has there been recorded a western character of such powerful appeal as the portrait of Ice Harding, a typical "bad man" of the plains, painted by Wm. S. Hart in his newest photoplay. The New Yorker, Hart has presented many stirring portrayals deplaining famous types of the great west in its palmy days, but in his latest picture he easily outshines own splendid picturizations of the past. Ice Harding is a typical bandit, daring and a terror in several states. Yet, despite his bad record, he has a human side that knows no fear, but stands by his side when he is unworthy; a gentleman when ladies are concerned and a wonderful horseman. Into the life of this outlaw comes a beautiful girl, his ideal of all that is good and pure. After the great success of himself, he gives up his following and hunts up the girl to start life anew. Suddenly his ideals strangled through a terrible revelation, he believes himself misled and his new faith in the god of the universe shattered. Coloring this, whether he is a thrilling hand to hand struggle in which he is attacked by two toongs, in the thrilling horse race, in which he distances all his opponents while thousands in the groundstand grasp in amazement at the power of the god. He climbs at the end of the race, or whether he appears in a scene with his beloved horse which plays upon the heart strings. Bill Hart drives home the force of the scene as only he can, and he goes on to the theater for two days. Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 1 and 2. Don't fall to see this gripping play.

Say, Clar: Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awful bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change a climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today,—men in all walks of life throughout this country. South America West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have suedced in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask what he thinks of Palm Cream Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is hard and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by man people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hair, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much dressed by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents.

Dec. 28.---To own a country estate on the banks of the Hudson has been the dream of many a New Yorker. It is a dream come true for Waller, the city's wealthiest woman of the Walker, or Mme. Walker, as she is more generally known, has built a $250,000 home at Irvington. Twelve years ago she was a washerwoman, and she is to do anyone's family wash for $1.50. She acclaim her the Hetty Green of her Race. They say she has a cool million, or nearly that. Ground for the bank dwelling was八个月 months ago, and a large game of golf has been kept busy ever since. Although MARY C. MME. WALKER nearly completed. it will not be ready for occupancy for several months. When the house is occupied, the show places on the Hudson on late Mme. Walker, in her high-powered motor car, has been a familiar face to the first visits to inspect her property that she notting her color, were frankly puzzled. Later, when it became known that she was the owner of the pretentious dwelling, they could only gasp in astonishment. "Impossible! they exclaimed. "No woman of her Race could afford such a report. To say that the village, when the report was verified, was surprised, would be putting the case mildly, not that she would live there, or is she building it alone, the people have asked. It may be said for Mme. Walker that she intends to occupy her permanent home, and is preparing her house in accordance with her tastes. Although she has made money in her hair preparation business, she has always been through good investments. She is of considerable real estate in this city and the south. Until recently she owned a $50,000 home in the northern part of this city. She has made a gift to her home to her daughter. What wealth she had been acquired through possession hadency and hard work. "Perservance," she remarked the other day, "is my motto. Of her Race, Mme. Walker is honestly fond; her Race and her family are the great interests of her life. For her home she could hardly have chosen a more attractive spot. The site is a beautiful, imposing part of Ivington village, on Broadway in sigg lane, commanding a magnificent portion of the Hudson, the hills beyond and the surrounding country. It sweeps over miles about and may be plainly viewed from a passing up and down the river. The structure, a three story and basement affair with roof of red tile, is in the center of the architecture, and was designed by Tandy, an architect of the Race. It is 113 feet long, 60 feet wide and stands in the center of a four and a quarter room, the fireproof, of structural tile with an outdoor colored stucco and has thirty-four rooms. In the basement are a gymnasium, baths and showers, kitchen and an art room dining room, power room for an organ and storage vaults for valuables. Mmc. Walker is preparing to entertain her friends on a large scale in her home, and she will be the companion most of the time her daughter, Mrs. Lella Walker Robinson, associated with her in business, "ago" she said in speaking of her life, "was married at 14, and was left a widow at 20, with a daughter, who has amplified anything in life, it is because I have been willing to work hard. I never yet started anything doubtingly, and I have always believed that I will be in a little more than twelve years ago I was a washerwoman, I was considered a good washerwoman and laundress. I am proud of that fact. At times I also used to be a washerwoman, I seldom could make more than the $1.50 a day. I got my start by giving myself a start. It is often the best way. I believe in push, and we must push on. "I was at my tubs one morning with a heavy wash before me. As I hent over the washboard and looked at my arms buried in soapnaps, I said to my husband, "You know, you grow old and your back gets stiff? Who is going to take care of your little girl?" This set me to thinking, but I all my thinking I couldn't see how all my thinking I was going to better my condition. "Now comes the part of my story that may sound strange, but it is the amazing dream, and something told me to start in the business in which I am now engaged. This I did. I went to Denver, and I cared on a capital of $1.25, I began on in a most modest way. I made house-to-house canvases among people of pretty well, after a while I got going pretty well, then I went to many obstacles and discouragements before I finally met with real success, not believe in taking pretty well, then I went to stock market. I am not a millionaire, but I hope to be some day, not because of the money, but because I do so much then to help my race." Mme. Walter was a member of the committee that visited President Wilson several weeks ago to protest the policies of the military, paying the expenses of six students at Tuskegee Institute, and she is assisting boys and girls in other institutions to pay her fees. She numbers among her friends professors, teachers, clans, lawyers, merchants and preachers, and also has many friends among the poor of the Race. She is self-educated, and she runs to history, especially American history. She regularly reads the works of people of her Race. Her interest in politics, commerce and current events recreations are the theme of conversation. Her recreations are the theme of baseball, football and basketball. Holloway-Lightburn Wedding Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Holloway, 34th Vernon avenue, announce the marriage of their daughter, Edith Lee Holloway, to Edward Lightburn of New York, the ceremony having taken place on Monday, Dec. 17. The couple left for New York on December 17, they will make their home. A reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Allen of The Coronado, 44th and Wabash avenue. Among those and family, Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Clarice Mines, B. Winnurz, J. Edgerton, Fanny Ranyee, F. Huggins, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Harris, the Misses Norma Porter, Ellestine Blaney and Messrs. Charles Waltleigh, M. Waltleigh, M. Waltleigh O'Grady, Charles R. Adams and Andrew Hillair THE SYMPHONY Bu Lena James Holt After paying my devotion to ten performances of this season's symphony concerts and displaying a tone of savoy fairy to the unmusical little boy, I was surprised what the long, funny looking black instruments were, which, instead of emitting musical tones, seemed to crink like frogs, and also what the name of the large brass instrument was. I was surprised that stage held so tenderly in his arms like a baby, imagine my chagrin upon learning through my theory instructor that the couple to my right were Mr. and Mrs. Rossiter Cole, modern classics, and I was greatly alashed when I thought of my authoritative rantings to my amateur friend being overheard, but was somewhat relieved to know that they were deeply interested in my "rehearsalismus," to quote their vernacular. The tenth concert presented some attractive contrasts: from a prelude for organ, brass and saxophone to drums by Mime, bass and tenor saxophone, "Where's You Walk" and "A Passing Pleasure," song by the Danish soprano Mime, Mime, Poyla Frijsch, to two Indian dances by Skilton, teacher of muesque, and the Danish actress at a witness, of which the War Dancer was signal for the gallery to swoop down upon the players with torents of applause. Mime, Frijsch at once caught the attention of the audience when she appeared gowned in an artistic black velvet creation which served to heighten her Amazonian blonde type. Her success with Handel's aristus was weak because of intermittent off-stone singing, but she recovered during the songs by Dupore, Saint-Saens and Moussorgrex and enthralled by some full Schumann-Helfe-like tones in the mezzo-voce, as martial as he stately hearing. The fourth symphony by Beethoven presented many interesting phases to the student, for the Adagio is one of the most examples of polyphonic writing, with a wide range one considers the limitations of the brasses, during his time, his achievement with the symphonic form are marvelous. It is notably among the last group of songs by Mme. Frilsch was the "Dane Macabre," by Saint-Saens, which any soprano might well include in her repertoire—a grewewsome lyric, depicting the dance of death, accompanied by a setting in soft staccato tones. The second part is a vocal training worth while to the ambitious artist.

He had filled his soldiers with plenty of Koger's display of unified velling and shinning. 1 Howard kicked off to the Army, who advanced the ball a few yards. The team quickened and tried to make the play for the ball toward the center passed the ball too high, but the swift Army halfback rebounded the fumbled ball twenty yards back, held for downs and forced the Army to kick. Brisco ran the punt back to the Army's fifteen line and Coleman knocked the goal and made the second. Howard received the kick and Matthews, the fast Howard tackle, advanced the ball twenty yards. With a bicep buckles Howard advanced the ball, the Army's three yard line. Grinning, he carried the ball over and kicked the goal. The first half ended with the goal. Between the halves several platoons of drafted men under the command of Leut. Koger gave an exhibition drill on the snow covered gridiron. The perfect drilling of the men presented a successful spectacle and brought forth thunderous applause from the Howard rabbit. In the last half the Army played with renewed vigor. Leut.

North Pauline street were laid to rest backs to make several end runs and his team made several substantial gains before the "Old Guards" could stop the pellet to punt and Brice brought the ball back to the place where it was punted. From the middle of the field the Old Guards with their famous McCain team brought the field. The feature of this half was the long forward pass of Brice to Greene. Although Greene fumbled the slippery pike, he quickly recovered his turn and brought him to earth. The ball was now on the Army's five yard line and Coleman soon brought it over.

P. Dec. 17- Harry Wills of New York defeated Jeff Clarke, the Fighting Ghost of Joplin, in the fifth round, but in the bull ring here today. Clarke fought with all his old time skill and gunniness, but he never had a chance; it was Wills all the way. Jeff Clarke won his opponents' and the fight, the fifth round to stop this grand fighter from a sure knockout and possibly serious injury. Wills had him bleeding round, and when close on the fourth round, and when the second on the fifth round Wills shot out his powerful right and caught Jeff squarely on the jaw; he went down for the second, and when counted out the seconds. He had hardly begun, however, when Clarke struggled to his feet and wanted to continue. The referee stopped the bout, and the referee stopped the persons in that big open air arena, that he was in no condition to go on. It was ten minutes of 6 o'clock when the men entered the ring, and by the time I was 6 o'clock they were sent off the wall with 6 o'clock the sound of the gong. He was easily winner of the first round, and the second third were also his by a long lead. Jeff landed a clean punch to the body and fourth round. It was plainly seen by many of those in the crowd that Clarke was very weak from the terrible punishment he received from Wills in the court. The mirrors would have stopped him from coming out in the fifth round. He was determined, however, and like the game mirrors would have stopped him from coming out in the fifth round. He was determined, however, and like the game mirrors would have stopped him from coming out in the fifth round. He was determined, however, and like the game mirrors would have stopped him from coming out in the fifth round. Despite all his protests to be allowed to continue, the referee remained firm and the decision was given. Who, who had won it by a wide margin. Although Jeff Clarke was outpointed in his battle yesterday, his admirers are not one less proud of him than the very best he could afford of the cleverest colored fighters in the world, in fact one of the best fighters of any color, and he was defeated. He fought with all his old gameness, but he was matched against his master. Wills, who is a newcomer in Panama, having come here from New Orlean, was a little older ago, one of the cleverest mitt artists in the world, appeared on the isthmus. He packs a terrible punch in either general and is a splendid ring general. To be matched with him is to know you have been in a fight. When the men entered the ring just prior to the starting of the bout, Battling Johnson, who is at present on the court, is a challenge to the winner of the fight. Both men accepted his challenge.

The game produced some great ringing who did credit to the name of boxing who lived to uphold a just sport, an art, and a culture.

Clem of Company I landed second place in the special 75-yard event and third place went to McCoo, who is a member of the machine gun company. Another spitted contest developed in the 100-yard dash. Ely, who was finally earned the winner of the event, performed a wrestling feat, when he covered the country in of the trials in 10 1-5 seconds. After hanging up this enviable performance in full regulation uniform, Ely, who was competing for Company I, went right back and carried off the final from a bevy of formidable opponents. Jackson evoked the cheers of his comrades in Company K, when he dashed over the track at a break-neck pace in the one mile event. Jackson was pushed to the last notch by Allen of Company I. Coming down the stretch this battle developed into a striking light for the lead between Jackson and Allen. The men loped over the course side by side, on to the finish, but as the tape moved in sight Jackson pushed the clutch into high, and with a spurt that brought yells from all sides he went over the winner in 4:43. neck pace son was Allen of home strife a stirring Jackson over the on to the in sight en into high brought over the was ion ing eral nerve lookers was con competiti captured pany Mr rampant As the course in soldiers p testing the elled the tournun- and the vere con perform- conspicuous Robbinson same org third, res Sergeant played hi in the 500 off first p with a lea point sec- rving off Another contest that furnished several nerve kinking seconds for the onlookers was the two-mile race that was conducted apart from the team competition. This special event was sponsored by Spillane Spillane of Company M in 11:42, an instantaneous rampant as this event was contested. As the competitors sped around the course in the full view of everyone the soldiers gave vent to their feelings by testing their lungs to their utmost. Representatives of Company M were conspicuous in this hilt, as both P. Johnson and Laurence Williams of the same organization finished second and third, respectively. Sergeant Roberts of Company E displayed his versatility by placing third in the 50-yard dash and then carrying off first place in the running high jump with a leap of 5 feet 6 inches. Anderson proved to be a valuable carryer in the 10-meter jump by carrying off first place in the hop, step and jump, his three efforts netting him 26 feet and 3% inches. Alexander and Johnson added Company I to its ultimate triumph by carrying off first and fourth places, re-attacking and fourth-yard run. Alexander in winning the game covered the distance in 52 1-5 seconds. L.

From this same state came the 54th and 55th Regiments in 1861 CAMP DIX Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 28.—Melody is playing a prominent part in removing any sign of racial feeling at Camp Dix. Many officers have been dubious of the results of concentrating white and Race soldiers in the same cantonment, and while they may still have their racial bias to the mission of the experiment, they at least have lost much of their apprehension of clashes between the two races since the song leaders directed their attention of linking up the Race regiments with the "singing army," Camp Song Master Stanley Stuart conducting the mass Convention singling in Colored troops, and Song Leader Stetton Humphries, seeking individuals for solo, duet and quartette singing, are finding some splendid talent among the Race cannonners of the 349th and 350th regiment. The boys have a style of singing and of melody all their lives. The Convention singers have listened to their singing and are singing that the song directors invite some of their glee squads to sing in the huts and halls of their white comrades in arms. COMPA This is the only Company or member EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS The most notable event in the cultural world of Chicago was the exhibition of paintings in the assembly hall of the Y. M. C. A., done by Negro artists and presented by the Arts and Letters Society Friday afternoon and evening, Dec. 21. Art lovers who dropped in during the afternoon—and there were some hundred or so, an agreeable surprise considering the usual number, of affected nonchants—were profuse in their attention to the classified standard of this exhibit. The assembly hall underwent a complete camouflage and patrons were ushered into a salon in Paris, with indirect ceiling lights, tiny red shades covering the side lights and casting soft, warm rays over the room, red yuletide candles with gorgeous satin bows and holly, red roses in ceramic vases, red wreaths symbolizing the seasons and cheer, amber tea served in dahlia, red roses in ceramic vases, young misses, refreshing young men, pediatric elders, and with all a tour ensemble and camaraderie rarely found outside of art life. That this atmosphere is an innovation in Chicago cannot be denied, and the Arts and Letters Society, whose diplopiles are psychic introspection, rather than collections, stands primal in this evolution. In the evening Mr. Ross Crane of the Art Institute gave an address on "Art and Life" to an overflow audience, whose sympathetic and attentive attitude inspired him to a delightful sense of humor and imagination, by that inexplicable gift called mascara soared with him as he painted pictures of Michael Angelo and Raphael, word pictures of Keats and Browning frozen pictures of architecture and sculpture, soul pictures of sonata and symphonies, then to give that important touch of humanity, he traveled in a beautiful city with a garden of flowers, and as a climax some subtle jest of his travels. To give a fitting finale to an already perfect day Mr. Hugh Buchanan sang "Snowflakes," that adorable bit of verse and music about the snowflake lighting gently upon a maiden's warm cheek and melting away, satisfied to have nestled and died there. In the vernacular of Mr. Crane, some THE CHICAGO DEFENDER CAMP FUNSTON Camp Funston, Kun., Dec. 28.—Hay Crummar, who has been corporal in Company G, has been promoted to first sergeant to the 349th machine gun battalion. Dexter Penn won the same promotion and Harris Foster, who was a private in the 365th infantry, with the mentioned men, has been transferred to the machine gun battalion and has been made corporal. Lieut. Horace of 365th Inf. Marries Miss Mayme C. Yerger, daughter of Prof. H. C. Yerger, Hope, Ark., was married to Lieut. J. L. Horace of the 365th Infantry, Camp Grant, Sunday afternoon at the residence of Dr. L. K. Williams, 3456 Vernon avenue. Miss Yerger was a teacher in the public school. She was accompanied by her mother while Lieut. ace was accompanied by Lieut. Glenson. They left after the marriage for Camp Grant. NY L, SIX MASSACHU s or the Hace in the great state or Mass of the pictures were art and some were exhibits, but most of them showed genius and all of them showed time and labor. Particularly interesting group of escape portraits, blurred morning poses and relief of reds, dazzling and gorgeous, beautiful, indeed, and greatly admired by all. The number of young people present was noted with satisfaction, for they are the builders of the new empire, and the architects of the development of the mind rather than upon wings of butterflies. The guests were hospitably and graciously received by members of the Arts and Letters Society and were entiring in their praise of this new venture for the culture of thought and art.

SAILOR WEDS AT COMMONWEALTH PIER Boston, Mass., Dec. 28.—The first marriage ceremony solemnized at Commonwealth Pier made Clarn Foster of 15 Grant street, Boston, the bride of Sidney Green, known in sporting circles as "Kid Green," champion middleweight biker of the eastern division. John A. Campbell, superintendent of state terminals, officiated as justice of the peace. More than 1,000 Jackles acted as "best men." Reversing the usual procedure, the "best men" gave to the bride a diamond pendant and to the groom a gold watch and chain. MUSETTS, PASSING IN M acusetts. From this same state came Columbia Graphophone Co. to Make Records of W. C. Handy's Music Columbia Graphophone Co. to Make Records of W. C. Handy's Music We present the photograph of Mr. W. C. Handy, known to many as one of our best directors of music; to many as a cornetist of exceptional ability and an interpreter of classical music when minstrelsy was in its palmy days. A man who at one time would have quit the business if his talents were confined to ragtime. But a change came. He began to think. He found wherein the greatness of the masters lies and, following the slogan of the late Dr. Washington, "let down the bucket" in the deep wells of southern Negro folk lore, from which thirsty Americans love to drink. Like Dumbar he beautifies everything, from the melodies and quaint and simple, harmonies rich and he is the originator of a rhythm which is attracting world-wide attention and admiration. It seems that most men who work along original lines are misunderstood, and in this connection he is no exception. One New Yorker expressed surprise when he a "gentleman," while a Chicagoan named "Jimmy" noted that he is the father of two children. They actually thought him a honkytonky piano player who just makes up his pieces and some trained mind writes them. He writes music as accurately and as rapidly as they do their letters, and most of his work has been done under trying circumstances. "Handy can write nothing but this." This is another mistake. He can write an anthem, a comic opera, anything, and as easily as he wrote the Memphis Blues, but the world will not accept such from him at this time. There is so much of the thought that nothing good can come out of Nazareth. In other words, a thinking of Thee, "a hilffeld" published by Paco & Handy Music Co. has not the same value as has the same piece by the same firm of New York City. Quite the reverse with Rags and Ward, but my Yorker books south- Ward, for ibis, is. to or this line. You know why. To the best and most reputable music publishers in the world, sales and selling Blues as fast as they can be printed. But the man who originated this style must forever be the victim of attacks from members of his own Race who are over-educated I music fans. Fortunately, as to have had the teaching, "Geer man" who had higher musical ideals and to whom everything that does not smack of foreign flavor is obnoxious. Door, misguided mortals who do not know that if Wagner had been an American No. 1 composer, similar conditions he would be like Handy, listening to the heart-beats of the people of whom he is a part and trying to find musical expression in work similar to the Blues. Again they forget that oakls from acorns grow. Quite recently Mr. Handy found out that a ban had been put on his Hesitating Blues, which was confounded with another Blues with almost the same mood. This was carried, suggestion or amulet. This is not true. Borrow, copy or Handy's Honorable Blues. Read carefully. Tell all and the landlord will be informed of the complaint.

They are waiting. Waiting till a combination which is now in process of formation squeezes the life out of all race enterprises that dare enter the musical field for the rich harvest that is sure. Waiting for the Blues that are monkeys that Handy's Blues are classics, as has been hinted in university circles. Already the Columbia Graphophone Co. of New York is making the week [Picture of a man with a mustache and a white shirt]. of Jan. 2 to 9, 1918 Handy's Orchestra work, in which time ten records made by this famous organization will be placed on sale wherever there is a Columba colorer. You can graph and color a spark of interest in the achievement of your Race, visit the parlor of the Columbia dealers and listen to these records. Then tell your friends to do so. If your friend is another of the type who can read and write, look up his Literary Digest of Oct. 29 and read what it has to say about the Negro's contribution to American art and of the work of Mr. Handy. Secret Orders to Weed Out Incompetent Officers A matter which should command the attention of every man or woman who is a member of any secret organization or society is the unrestricted and disfruitful manner of the selection of persons to serve in the capacity of business officials to a lodge or so suddenly disqualified for any executive chamber, or to hold any office whatsoever where the knowledge of business principles is required and is so absolutely necessary and essential for the success and benefit of an organization. But expedient nor advisable to appoint brother Jones as secretary or treasurer of any lodge because of his qualification as a good Christian and an honest man.
