STATE GETS FIRST BLOOD AT DULUTH
First White Man Indicted For Lynching Receives Conviction.
DULUTH, Minn., Sept. 7. The State obtains first conviction of those who participated in the unlawful murder and riot in which three colored men were the victims and several others indicted. Gilbert Henry Stevenson (white), a prominent man of the city was convicted in Judge Fessler's court, Sept. 2nd, which conviction carries with it five years in the State Penitentiary for aiding and abetting mob violence.
Vigorous Prosecution
State's Attorney, Mason M. Forbes (white), made a vigorous prosecution deserving the highest commendation of all lovers of law and order. He took the position that the reputation of the State for law and order as well as her faith in the jury system in administering justice is on trial in the rioting cases now before this court, and said to the jurors, "These men who are charged with rioting these men who did not believe in law and order, who took the position that a jury trial wasn't a safe way to administer substantial justice in so far as a Negro suspect was concerned, who refused to let twelve men such as you determine their guilt or innocence, now come into court and ask you gentlemen of the jury the same protection under the Constitution and laws of our land that they denied these black men."
The faithful prosecution of this case by the State's Attorney has thrown fear into the hearts of a number of the participants of the riot and has demonstrated the fact that the prosecution is on the square. Immediately after the final disposition affecting the rioters, the cases of the colored men now in jail, alleged to have participated in the affair of June fifteenth, will be brought to trial and they will be defended by former Assistant State's Attorney of Chicago
TOO HANDSOME TO WORK; WIFE GRAN-TED DIVORCE
Because he had been told by women in St. Louis, Mo., that he was "too goodlooking to work," Nathaniel Knight, 3160 Forest Ave., took them at their word, and failed to render any visible support to his wife and child, according to a bill for divorce filed by Mrs. Josephine Knight, of the same address on Forest Ave. Mrs. Knight further complained that she was compelled to pose as a target while Knight indulged in target practice with a Winchester rifle and steel jacket bullets. Judge William Fenimore Cooper, of the Superior Court, was of the opinion that the law did not exempt goodlooking men from contributing to the support of their wives and granted Mrs. Knight a degree of divorce and the custody of their child. Mrs. Knight stated that she was a modiste by profession, having an income of $250 per month, and did not wish alimony from Knight. She was represented by Attorney R. F. Westhooks.

CLAIM POLICE SUPPRESS STORY OF BRUTAL BEATING.
When Wm, T. Johnson, residing at 3853 Langley Ave, went to the Armour Car Shops, at 47th and Halsted Sts., last Saturday afternoon; he
stopped in the saloon on the southwest corner of 47th and Halsted Sts., to get his check cashed. As he left the saloon to take the surface car back to the south side, one of the Halsted St. gangsters of the Gene Geary type, with-
out a word of warning, walked up and smushed him in the eye. Seeing that fight would be futile, Johnson walked across the street to the car intersection to board a north-bound Halsted St. car. The gangster followed, however, by now accompanied by several others, cursing and using vile and abusive language. Johnson boarded the car, but his persecutors followed and filled the car, which came to a stop midway between 46th and 47th
Chased Into 45th St.
Johnson now realized that flight was his only hope, and sped north and east through 45th St. His pursuers had by this time secured an automobile and ran the fugitive down near the corner of 45th and Wallace Sts., where he was beaten almost into insensibility by the ruffians. Their onslaughts ceased when they thought Johnson dead or dying. The beaten man then struggled to his feet and entered the nearest house to ask for first aid, but was told to stay away, as he might get the house too bloody.
Officers Arrive On Scene
No Record Made of Affair
Upon investigation by the Whip it was found that no record appears upon the blotter of this alleged affair, and officials at the station deny any knowledge of the affair. There were no colored witnesses to the affair, and no whites could be found who would testify.
Strike Of Gas Workers
Darkens Danville
DANVILLE, Va., Sept. 8. The entire force of colored workers now employed at the City Gas Works here, went on strike last week after failing to win a $6 per diem wage as demanded by their organization. The City Superintendent tried for two days to round up new hands to take their places, but in the meantime the city was dark. The strikers were finally replaced, having been granted their raise.
He Found An Easy Way To Make Money
FAYETTEVILLE, VA., Sept. 7th. —Fred Holman was arrested September 2nd by Government officials, charged with passing counterfeit ten dollar bills. Holman admits that he had been a member of a declined to make any statement in reference to his operations otherwise. His record is being looked up.

Wrangle Over Pants Patch Causes Death
David Mallin (white), owner of a tailor shop at 123 E. 43rd St, was shot and fatally wounded last week after he had followed a dissatisfied customer from Indiana Ave. to State St. threatening him and brandishing a revolver. The customer, an unknown colored man, complained of dissatisfaction at the way Mallin had placed a patch on his trousers. Mallin presented the complaint, drove the customer from the shop, and threatened to shoot him. As they reached the alley between State St. and Wabash Ave., Mallin became more violent and took a shot at the colored man, whereupon the unknown customer turned and fired one shot. The tailor is now dead.
The unidentified customer is still at large.

STRIP GIRL NUDE, BUT NO LYNCHING FOLLOWS
COLUMBUS, GA., Sept. 8.—Walter McClellan, aged 20 and Richard Smith, aged 22, both white, were today arrested here after being charged with outraging a young girl and stripping her body nude. She was then allowed to roam the woods in her nude condition. Although the crime is much more repulsive than many for which colored men have been lynched, there was no hint of lynch law.
To Spend $50,000 For Playgrounds
KNOXVILLE, TENN., September 8th. A bill has been presented to the Legislature which is now in session, authorizing a bond issue of $50,000.00 for the purpose of purchasing and equipping two parks as playgrounds for colored children. The bill has the support of Professor C. W. Canster and Dr. H. M. Green and other prominent members of our group in the city. This is a step forward for the care of the young colored children of the city which will make for their welfare and citizenship.
16 Year Old Girl Raped While Her Escort Is Held off at Pistol Point
White morons of the southwest prairies, who have given police authorities much trouble in the last twelve months, renewed their fiendish activities late Sunday night when they attacked Anna Morris, aged 10, io 1421 W. 109th Pl, who was returning home with her escort. Josiah English aged 18, residing at 4407 Wabash Ave
Held Up At Pistol Point
The Morris girl accompanied by English had alligned from a surface car at 119th St. and Vincennes Rd., and were walking toward the Morris girl's home, through the dark lowlands of the southwest prairie district, when they were met and accosted by two white men. The two were held up at the point of guns. Little Ann at the edge of the street of the friends, while English was warned by the other to "beat it," or be shot to death.
English Brings Rescuers
In the meantime English/sped back ward toward the car-line, and returned shortly with four colored men to the scene of the attack. These men gave their names as Letether Sneed Lee Sawyer, Claude Hartman, and Garfield Johnson, who said they were returning from a party on the South Side. When the rescuers arrived on the scene, the two morons were still detaining the girl in the bushes, although her screams were by this time alarming the countryside.
Taken to 10th Precinct Station
The morons were taken to the 10th Precinct Station, 200 E. 115th St., where they gave their names as Stephen Burk and Arnold Mintz, both of Blue Island. By this time threats of violence were spreading throughout the neighborhood, but the prompt and unrestricted residents averted trouble. The girl was taken to a grave condition that she was taken to the Juvenile Home.
Mother and Sister Faint in Court
When the case was called before Judge Doyle, sitting in the South Chicago branch of the Municipal Court, on Tuesday morning, the mother and sister of Burke, broke down and fainted. This move was taken by the prosecution as an appeal for sympathy but upon demand of Atty. Benj. G. Pollard, of the firm of Pollard & Taylor, Judge Doyle showed how much sympathy he felt for the defendants by naming their bond at $10,000.00 Counsel for the defense were staged at this figure, as were most of the white spectators in the courtroom but Judge Doyle, saying that he intended for these men to stay in jail until trial, refused to lower the figure. Defense was granted a three day continuance in order to marshal evidence and the morons were held in default of the $10,000.00 figure.

Shellac Smelt Like Hooch But It's Kick Was Fatal
When John Meadows, a painter, went to the home of Robert Bradshaw, 7331 Vincentnes Road, both colored, to do some painting, he carried along with him a bottle of shellac, consisting mainly of wood alcohol. Bradshaw evidently thought that Meadows had planned a little surprise party for him, for when the painter went to lunch, Bradshaw treated the shellac like any other good citizen would treat a good old bottle of rye, that is, he drank it. Bradshaw died the same day without regaining consciousness. At the undertaking parors of Lain & Son, 63rd Street and Harvard Ave., on Saturday, the coroner's jury returned a verdict of "death due to accidental causes."
STATE STREET MERCHANT CLUBS COLORED WOMAN
L. Schwartz, south side merchant doing business at 3732 South State Street, attempted to chastise Mrs Margaret Stewart, 3708 South State Street last Thursday because her little girl and his little girl were having a quarrel. It is alleged that Schwartz saw the two children fighting and ran out in the street and struck Mrs. Stewart's ten year daughter, Wilcreta. This caused an argument between him and the child's mother. Schwartz went back into his store and got his revolver and his son came out with him with a club. He attempted to hold Mrs. Stewart, while the son applied the club. Neighbors, seeing the tray, gathered around and had it not been for the timely arrival of the police Schwartz would have been severely chastised.
In a very few minutes over seventy police arrived on the scene. The cool judgement of citizens and police officers sufficed to calm the situation and the parties to the affair were arrested. The case came up Thursday morning at
seventy police arrived on the scene. The cool judgement of citizens and police officers suffered to calm the situation and the parties to the affair were arrested. The case came up Thursday morning at the Harrison Street Court and was continued.
It is charged by people living in the immediate neighborhood that this is not the first time that Schwartz has mistreated colored women. It is said that his conduct has become so reprehensible that the colored people will not trade with him as freely in the future as they have in the past. The timely arrival of the police saved his store from being wrecked.

DR. MOVES TO RID SELF OF WIFE
Friends Hint Love Triangle And Name "Other Women" as cause for annulment suit
It is alleged in social circles that Dr. Joseph A. Plummer has filed proceedings in one of the courts of chancery to have his marriage annulled. It will be recalled that some six or seven years ago, Dr. Plummer married after an extended courtship and much persuasion. Mr. Mathis of Indiana. It was rumored at that time that the Doctor had even urged his sister prior to the granting of a divorce which Mrs. Wallace obtained from her former husband and had showed such manifest interest in her future wellfare as to cause their many friends to look forward to a happy future.
Doctor's Love Loses Warmth
It is said as the years passed on the many changing vicissitudes of life, especially those affecting the social side of it, seems to have had its effect on the conduct of the doctor. It was intimated by some of his friends that in the coming and going of many of the fair ones to his office, the good doctor seemingly began to close his eyes on the dear little woman at 3454 Rhodes Avenue whom he had promised to love and cherish and began to open them, with wistful glance upon some who did not view life with such serious intent as did Mrs. Plummer. For many years she reached the ears of the one whom they disturbed most (the wife), she sought to laugh away her fears by endeavoring to put on a bold front and denied alleged sins of her husbands.
Shadow Becomes a Reality
Much to her sorrow, however, the thing that she sought to chase away as being only a phantom has now come to be a realization and actual divorce proceedings have been begun asking for an annulment of the marriage. It is said that the doctor will base his charges on the marriage being performed before the expiration of the statutory limitation. It is contended by friends of the wife that this is merely a technicality on the part of the doctor in order that he may worship at the shrine of another goddess of love. It is rumored that the woman who has played an important part as the destroyer of Mrs. Plummer's mother herself a married woman. This of course could not be confirmed. The trial of the case will, however, bring to light all of the hidden facts incidental thereto and will likely cause another suit for divorce on the part of persons whose names as yet have not been mentioned.
Wife Is Heartbroken
Mrs. Gertrude Plummer, the doctor's wife, is a woman of excellent character and is said by her friends to be heartbroken over the said culmination of her domestic affairs. The case will be called for trial in the October term of court.

Ask Plainclothes Men For Token of Authority and are Slugged into Insensibility
Reed Hall, whose father lives in Gary, Indiana, and mother in this city, decided on the night of the twenty-first of August that he would visit his father on business the following day. He had discussed the matter with two of his friends, Allen and Wilson, and they agreed to accompany him on the trip. Hall called up the Pennsylvania Railroad Station and was informed that a train move between August 4:30 in the morning of August 22nd, About 4:00 o'clock, Hall and his two friends arrived at the Englewood Station.
Watchman O. K.'d Them
On going up the stairs to the station the trier angels accosted by a man who was sitting on their mission to sit and wait for the train and went on about his business. A few minutes later the trier asked the railroad detectives arrived named Murphy and Begley (white). They ordered the three young men to hold up their hands and proceeded to search them. Hall, having some idea of his rights, asked the men to show him their stars so that he could know who they were fearing that the men might be hold-up men. This request seemed to anger Murphy and Begley as they jerked Hall away from his two friends, calling two other detectives to stand guard over them while they took Hall downstairs and beat him unmercifully. Being a man who weighed only 125 pounds, he was unable to offer much physical protest.
Frees Other Two
After having finished their brutal treatment of Hall, Murphy and Begley returned and threatened to beat up the other two boys. The other two officers in whose custody they had been left protested and they were permitted to go. Hall was then knocked down again, falling down a flight of several steps as he fumed, knocking back the railroad officers and taken to a patrol box and sent to 48th Street Station and charged with disorderly conduct.
Beat Again in Station
About half past eleven o'clock on the night of August 22nd, Begley, Murphy and a Rock Island detective, whose name could not be learned, returned to the Fourth Precinct Station and obtained permission to see Hall. It is alleged that Hall was removed from his cell by an officer of that station named either O'Malley or Miller, and turned over to the railroad officers who again gave him a severe beating and ordered him put back in the cell.

IN THE POLITICAL BOILER
Bv A. N. FIELDS
Sunday afternoon last from two o'clock until six o'clock it appeared that all roads led to the Eighth Regiment Armory where a Mass Meeting was scheduled under the auspices of the Second Ward Thompson Republican Organization. This meeting, which was presided over by Hon. Edward H. Wright, was for the purpose of giving the citizens of the Second Ward a chance to see and hear for themselves the various candidates on the Thompson ticket who were asking for their suffrage.
Armory Packed
Long before the meeting was called to order by the Chairman, the Armory was filled to its utmost capacity by a throng eagerly waiting to hear the main argument in favor of this wrist as so as to why they were acting for the support of the voters. Judge Robert E. Crowe, candidate for State's attorney for Cook County, delivered a forceful and effective speech and among other things said that should he be nominated and subsequently elected that "homb throwing" in residential districts in which our people reside will cease. He promised not to prostitute the office for the benefit of any political faction but to direct his operations in the interests and for the protection of ALL the citizens of Cook County regardless of race or creed.
Congressman Martin B. Madden as usual gave an interesting address. Numerous other speakers also took part on the program and acquitted themselves in a creditable manner.
Mayor Flays Lowden
Mayor Thompson, whose late arrival found waiting for him at least 8,000 people, all of whom cheered him to the echo as he told of the vices incidental to the Lowden administration. If the presence of the crowd indicated that the Second Word would probably give the largest maturity in its history.
Up To Voters Now
Both factions of the Republican Party have had their day in Court and have met thousands of voters face to face and have submitted to them their reasons why they are asking for their support. September the fifteenth, Primary Day, the voters all over the State of Illinois will be called upon to perform the solemn task of rendering their decision and thereby determining which faction should be entrusted with additional power and affluence.

This is surely a busy town during political times with reformers and "near-reformers" who seek to benefit by the suffrage of the people, through the inability of the people to learn their true motive. It is rumored around with a great deal of credibility that a committee of gentlemen who belong to "shake, rattle and roll" organization or other words, crap "offender" men at the residence of an old "offender" over on South Park and avenue they then over planned for the raising of a satisfactory amount of money to aid in the nomination of our good States Attorney, Maclay Hoyne.
Two Members Fail to Answer Roll Call
On the night of the meeting it is also rumored on good authority that all of the high sports answered to the roll when their name was called and every club was represented except one, and for his non-appearance he paid the penalty, his place was raided by men from Hoyne's office last week and it is alleged that they confiscated four revolvers, a half pint of liquor and such other stuff that was not called to office. This of course will teach him a lesson that when the hat is passed around to drop in his share hereafter.

The new post-office in New York City covers a whole square. It faces the magnificent Pennsylvania Rail road Station. These two magnificent edifices, both the handicraft of man's genius, seem to silently challenge each other in grandeur, as Rome challenged Carthage. Carved in stone in monstrous letters across the face of this great post-office are inscribed these words: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the completion of their adopted rounds—Herodotus." As I watched the flitting figures that darted here and there in performance of the government's great duty, the thought struck me that neither heat nor light nor gloom of night should stay the black or white from the composition of his rated round, which is the elevating of his race to the status of those who carved their names in history's heart.

We have heard about the lights of the great white way, those twinkling, dancing, winkling, fascinating lights, the lights from a thousand signs, lights, lights, lights. I wondered why no poet has ever bequeathed to the world a masterpiece inspired by the calcium rays from those wonderful wires. We have seen the bells, bells, bells. The poet has made them peal out - joybells, deathbells, wedding bells. Why not a classic on lights? The lights of misery, the lights of religion, the lights of hell, the lights
energy, singing the nerve and fibre of every passerby—the life-lights. Then the joy-lights, bewitching and enchanting, winking at you and enticing you, bidding you to enter, and pay tribute to music, song and denatured wine. Then the fading lights; they grow dimmer as you drift along. They flatter and they flutter, until you reach the outskirts of the new Appian Way, trailing the fading lights, your journey would seem incessant, yet you know that somewhere, yes somewhere in the illimitable darkness, those lights will be swallowed up. The light that has guided the teet of men will fade. Those lights sing songs of every human passion—the lights of the Great White Way.
Beneath the surface of her asphalted highways lie her network of subway lines, carrying, back and forth, shuttle-like, her mass of cosmopolitan millions. Those swift, closed cars packed with human souls, dash with lightning-like rapidity upon their ribbons of steel.

Perfect, we say, as the arteries that pass through the human body conveying the fluid of life to and from the great heart that generates human power. A stranger knows not where he is, nor whither he goes. Black arrow-headed lines read plainly, "Follow me," and you aimlessly follow that line until you find the train you want. Millions of dollars lie beneath the earth, the cap-stone of man's ingenuity seems to be located in this subterranean wonder.

The public will some day become aroused from its lethargy and pull the mass of hypocrisy from the faces of some of those who are crying "holier than thou" for Old Abe Lincoln made no mistake when he was talking about "fooling all of the people some of the time." We know that you can't "fool 'em all of the time." No office is a life time job where the people do the voting and we may live to see the day when some of these hypoerites will be "pushed from their stools with unenlisted hands and no son of theirs succeed."

N observed with disgust the conduct of the young lady who is employed in one of the Postoffice Substations on the South Side when she takes the car in the evening after work. She is usually accompanied by a white man. Her apparent eagerness to ingratiate herself in his society is almost a public nuisance and certainly does not add anything to her either from the standpoint of attract ability or good sense. Surely the street exhibitions are not necessary in order for her to hold her job.
ON THE other afternoon a riot call went into the police on account of a fraca on State Street near 38th Street. The "white" telephones were busy and the law was dumped into the district at the rate of seventy-five per minute and included the bomb squad and the Chief himself to say nothing of white reporters from the daily papers. This was won by the telephone Stroll grievening the telephone carrier the news among colored people swiffer than the wires and the idlers at 31st and State Street knew about the supposed riot before the last blow between the participants had passed. The "old days" are still with us and still as effective.
---
SOMETIMES things happen all for the best. Nosey saw the wife of that rich doctor of the South on the day that she arrived and then three days later met her at the house where she was stopping and was informed that she had just arrived in town. It seemed funny, and of course Nosey could not embarrass the lady, but went on a still hunt to find out where the lady had been during those other three days. When Nosey located the gentleman who used to claim the lady's affection before she married, he stopped with fear and trembling lest he should find out that the "old coals had rekindled and there had been a quiet fire."
EVERY TIME you go on the street you hear a different proposition. Nosey was on the "stroll" the other night and heard two gentlemen trying to insist that a third gentleman should try a certain hair-straightener which was guaranteed to do the work in fifteen minutes without pain or after-effects. The third man asked why one of them could not be the "demonstrator," since he was making the preparation and the gentleman pulled off his hat to read a perfectly bald and shiny head and even the hair that he had always been that way. The man laughed and said, "If that is what your stuff does you get some one else to go with you to the barber shop, I'll let my hair stay as it is even if it breaks the comb."
YOU OUGHT to have seen that doctor who now lives on the Boulevard not long ago in the wee sma' hours after the good old car had been put up engage in a cave man stunt with a perfectly charming young lady. He seized her by her hands and attempted to shake the very life out of those erie laughs, stamped his foot in the good old primaeval fashion waved his arms and backed away to start on his way home to his wife and family. Nosey wondered if anything happened when he got home.

Hope Loses Hope
Earl Hope, who up until Saturday morning, claims to have resided at 3013 Dearborn Street, now residing in the Bridewell, had an interesting session at Harrison Street Court Saturday morning before Judge Hayes. It appeared that Hope had been rooming at the number in question with a family who came here some six or eight months ago from Alabama and had violated some social courtesies, causing them to ask for their room. He returned Saturday morning about four o'clock, breaking in the house and attempting to go back to his room. The judge might have overlooked this part of it had not Hope attempted to besmirch the character of one of the ladies. He was stopped short by the court and fined $25.00 and costs. It was then that Hope lost hope.

"MISS NOBODY FROM STARLAND" OPENS TO PACKED HOUSE
"MISS NOBODY FROM STARLAND" OPENS TO PACKED HOUSE
Miss Nobody from New York three-act musical farce by Hough & Admire Theatre in packed house at the Avenue Theatre Monday night.
It cannot be denied that the crowd of first-nighters was keenly and distinctly disappointed at what everybody expected to be a fitting follow-up to the excellently played "Canary Cottage." Out of fairness to Shelton Brooks and his associated stars and co-stars, it must be said that Monday night's failure cannot be charged to the cast, because the same company that has so delightfully entertained for the past two weeks was on hand Monday night. The vehicle simply was not there. Shelton Brooks was good, as usual, because he made his own comedy. Alberta Hunter, was herself when she was given the opportunity to do her "shimmy," which was only once. Ollie Powers also demonstrated that he was willing to sing, and sing we had only one chance to do. The chris was beautiful and as appealing as ever, but there were no song hits, and the girls were "all dressed up," so to speak "with nowhere to go."
"Miss Nobody from Starland" is a musical comedy hit of about six years' standing in big time circles, and has in other years gone big in houses where extremely elaborate stage settings and scenic effects could be had. It is thought that the effort to accommodate this production to the Avenue's stage and property capacity so crippled it as to rob it of most of its pep, as far as South Side theatre-goers are concerned. Musical comedies are never expected to have much of a plot, but usually they contain enough continuity to allow the audience to know what is going on on the stage. This cannot be said of this week's production.
It is probable that the management at the popular Avenue house will see the needs of this week's production and will remove the handicap from Shelton Brooks and his coterie of popular players by recasting the production so as to make it more acceptable.
"TOWN TOPICS" NEXT SHOW AT GRAND
"TOWN TOPICS" NEXT SHOW AT GRAND
"Town, Topics," a big musical satire, will open at the Grand Theatre on Monday night, Sept. 13th, headed by Gulfport and Brown, late stars of J. Lubrie Hill's "Darktown Follies," and Gertrude Saunders, the great little singing comedienne and an incomparable cast of real artists. From all reports from the east, it is a real show, and the best since Williams and Walker days.
Tanguay, also hit the Stroll this week. The Quality Players are organizing another musical show in New York, rehearsals were called this week. Ed Goodfar, the silver tongued tenor, lost three of his good suits this week, a stranger litted them from his trunk. Ed has ordered five more from his tailor.
Bass Lurmer has quit the stage for good. He don't like being away from his home so much.
Gulfport and Brown, the clever stars will shine in "Town Top-piks" at the Grand next week.
Tony Langston is looking like a millionaire these days riding around in his ten thousand dollar Hudson Super Sixty Roadster. Thompson will star a road show that may be the next week. Margaret Lee, a feature in "Miss Nobody from Starland," at the Avenue Theatre this week.

The Porter's Job
A lady traveling with her 5 year old son on a night train told him as she put him to bed to say his prayers as usual, but he flatly refused to do so. "Do you want the Lord to take care of you tonight?" asked the anxious mother. "What's the porter here for?" was the child's response. His hired man says: "That third party's home some noise if more common people wanted to end the rule of the profiteer instead of hankerin' and hopin' to have the profiteers be a little decent."

HARVEY SAUNDERS DRUG STORES DOING GREAT BUSINESS
Since adding the third to his chain of drug stores, the business done by the drug corporation headed by the popular young druggist, Harvey Saunders, has increased by leaps and bounds. Saunders' business is no longer handicaped by the disadvantage of being compelled to buy in small quantities, and he is now able to compete on equal terms with any of the largest drug concerns. As a result he is offering cut rate drug prices heretofore unheard of in the localities where his stores are located.
As a result of this new enterprise several members of our race who could secure employment only in menial capacities in other drug stores are given an opportunity to put their abilities to the best use in first class, up-to-date, drug stores.
Boys Beaten By Police

Captain Refuses Permission
On the morning of the 23rd, the railroad officers, Begley and Murphy, returned again to the station and asked to be allowed to see Hall, Capt. Enright at this time was on duty and refused their permission of entering his cell but allowed them to talk with him through the bars and thus Hall escaped the third beating. His case came up for trial at the Englewood Court on Wednesday morning following, and Hall was released on a fifty dollar cash bond until Thursday. On Thursday when the case was called, Hall had then retained counsel and demanded jury trial. This demand apparently irritated Judge La Buy, who vacated the order allowing him to be at large on a cash bond, forcing him to secure a real estate bond, which he promptly did. Case came up for final trial on Thursday last in the jury court presided over by Judge Daniel P. Trude.
Jury Frees Hall
At the trial which lasted all day, Hall told his story of the brutal treatment he had received and how he had been treated at the Forty-eighth Street Station. All parties were severely cross-examined by Attys, Barnett and Barnett who represented Hall. The jury was out fifty-five minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty. Efforts will be made to bring the policeman at the Fourth Precinct Police Station who permitted Redd Hall's cell and assault him, before the Trial Board.

SIRUPS SAVE SUGAR IN MAKING JELLIES
Directions Given by Department of Agriculture Experts.
When Fruit Is Cheap and Sugar Expensive Jellies May Be Made to Advantage With One.Half Usual
Amount of Sweetening.
To obtain the largest possible amount of jelly from fruit with the use of the smallest possible amount of sugar, follow the directions given below by United States department of agriculture specialists:
If a good jelly-making fruit, such as quince, green grapes, tart and partly ripe apples, Siberian crabs, or cranberries, is being used, make a second extraction from the fruit. That is, take the pulp from the jelly bag, add one cupful of water to each pound of pulp, cook 20 minutes, and drip a second time, using some pressure at the last. Second-extraction jellies are likely to be somewhat different in flavor from the first, and it is an excellent plan to combine the two jellies before sweetening.
When fruit is cheap and sugar expensive, jellies may be made to advantage with one-half as much sweetening as usual, that is, with one-half cupul of sugar to one cupul of juice. The yield of jelly will be less, for one cupul of a good juice plus one cupul of sugar should make between one and one and one-half cupuls of jelly, whereas one-half cupul of sugar plus one cupul of juice makes between one-half cupul and three-fourths cupul of jelly.
One-half of the sweetening may be glucose sirup, light-colored corn sirup, honey or sorghum sirup. If the other half is granulated sugar, there will be little noticeable difference in sweetness in most cases. Grape with glucose or corn sirup will make a good jelly even when no sugar is used.

The Political World
C. J. S.
The Thompson faction of the Rg.publican party selected Mr. Morris Eller as their candidate for the Republican nomination as Trustee of the Sanitary District. Mr. Eller is a member of the Mayor's Cabinet and has served as City Sealer for the past five years with extraordinary merit to himself and exceptional prestige to his superior. During the period of the last five years, he has introduced many practical innovations in the office of City Sealer which has redounded to the success of thousands of citizens of Chicago and Cook County.
Has Sound Business Judgment
The Office of City Sealer during the administration of Mr. Eller has been conducted on the basis of sound business judgment and close attention to public duties. Efficiency has been the watchword under his supervision. Short weighing and measuring such as was prevalent under other City Sealers has almost been eliminated under his administration. His educational work among the various elements of peddlers, hucksters and squirrels has resulted in developing a keen sense of commercial honesty among them.
His Nomination Assured
The great service rendered to the citizens of Chicago in the protection of their commercial interests through the proper administration and conduct of the City Sealer's Office under the critical observation of Mr. Eller gives reasons to believe that his nomination for Trustee of Sanitary District is an assured fact. Fortunately for him, both women and men can vote for this office and especially in view of the service he has rendered through the prevention of short weight and measures, it will give them a special opportunity of voting for their benefactor.
WILLIAM R. FETZER FOR CITY BENCH
CHELSEY
Alderman William R. Fetzer, of the Seventh Ward, has announced his candidacy for Municipal Court Judge and is the tenth on the Republican Primary Ballot seeking nomination September 15th. He is serving his second term as Alderman and is regarded as one of the leaders of the City Council. He has held the post of Chairman of the Public Health Committee and other committees of importance with recognized and acknowledged ability.
Born in Illinois
Alderman Fetzer was born in Ottawa, Illinois, and has lived in Chicago for twenty-four years. He is married and resides at 6542 University Avenue. He holds the degree of L.L.B. from Northwestern Law School and has been in the active practice of law for twenty years in this city. His record as a public official gives ample justification for the support of all people of the city regardless of color. His acknowledged friendship to our group is testified to by such public officials as Alderman Louis B. Anderson, R. R. Jackson, Edward H. Wright and Bishop A. J. Carey.
Member of Many Societies
Alderman Fetzer is a member of the Chicago Bar Association, the Illinois State Bar Association, the Lawyers Association, the Elks and a Mason of high rank. His record as a public official has received the highest commendation from the press and the public which justifies his nomination at the primaries for Municipal Court Judge.-Advt.

Among the many candidates on the Thompson ticket for Municipal Judge, none looms higher from the standpoint of legal lore than Attorney Joseph W. Schulman, 3258 Douglas Bldr. Mr. Schulman is a candidate of the Republican Party for Associate Judge of the Municipal Court. He holds an endorsement of Will Hale Thompson, action of the Republican Party and his name appears the fifteenth upon the separate judicial ballot.
Product of Chicago
Product of Chicago
Mr. Schulman was born in Chicago and is a graduate of the public schools and the Chicago Law School of this city. He entered the practice of law in 1908, since which time he has won an enviable record as a practitioner at the bar. During the Spanish-American War, he saw service in Cuba and is a member of the Camp McKinley Spanish-American War Veterans. His education and training has been such as to justify the opinion that he will make an excellent member of the judiciary in the event of his nomination and election.
Comes of Excellent Family
Comes of Excellent Family
He not only comes of an excellent family, but enjoys the unique distinction of being highly associated in civic affairs with the leading members of his race. During his practice of law he has handled successfully a number of notable cases and is regarded as one of the foremost members of the bar. Politically, he has been a constant subscriber to the political principles enunciated by Mayor Thompson and believes that members of our group are entitled to every right under the law that are given to other people—Advt.
C. W. H.
Mr. George T. Kenney, Secretary of Maclay Hoyne, in an interview with a representative, sought to make clear the attitude of the State's Attorney in reference to our group. The interview was sought by virtue of the fact of the almost universal unpopularity of the State's Attorney among the colored people of Chicago. Mr. Kenney said, "The motive prompting the State's Attorney in his operations in the so-called "black belt" has been not only misunderstood but willfully misinterpreted. Mr. Hoyne has never attacked any race of people as a race but rather has endeavored to attack a system which happens to infest the territory in which a large number of colored people live. In evidence of this fact, he has gone into various other wards and endeavored to rid the sections of the vicious elements in order to bring about better social and community environments for the law-abiding and respectable citizens."
Cites Edward Wilson as an Argument;
"As an attestation of this fact, I cite the presence of Mr. Wilson in the State's Attorney's Office who is a colored man who does not hold his job by virtue of any political influence but because of meritorious service rendered in the Department of which he is the head. No colored man can substantiate with facts the contention that Mr. Hoyne is maliciously and intentionally persecuting the colored people on account of their decease because he is merely attacking a system which has been forced upon certain elements of the colored people as well as upon other race groups in the city and which system he is pledged by his office to eradicate."
Sincere Effort to Rid City of Vice
Mr. Kenney further stated, "Mr. Hoyne is making a sincere and serious effort to rid the city of its crime and where his office permits of vice and the records show that this is not confined to the Second Ward and neither is the political scheme which makes
FRIENDS BOOST JUDGE HAZEN FOR MUNICIPAL COURT
322
The many friends of Judge Irwin R. Hazen are exerting every possible effort to make possible his nomination in the Republican primaries for Municipal Court Judge on September 15. Judge Hazen was elected in 1918 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Uhlir. His two years' service as a Municipal Court Judge has justified the opinion of his friends and he is now being put forward for re-election for the six year term.
Endorsed By Bar Associations
Judge Hazen has the endorsement of the Chicago Bar Association, the Lawyers Association of Illinois and a number of civic bodies. During his short term of two years on the bench, he has presided in many of the civil and criminal branches of the Court and for seven months was Judge of the Speeders' Court. His humane method in administering the law has been seasoned with common sense and good judgment.
Served Three Terms As Alderman
Prior to his elevation to the bench Judge Hazen served three terms as Alderman of the 33rd Ward and rendered to the city services of a meritorious character. His attitude on public questions is well known to the citizen of Chicago and his eagerness to be fair and impartial to all groups has been clearly demonstrated by his activities on the bench.
Knows No Difference In Color
A careful observation of his judicial record stamps him as a man who as a public official, has lived beyond the hampering petty influences which so often disturb the judicial poise of members of the Municipal Court. He administers the law, according to law and does not arrogate to himself the right to determine a defendant's case by the color of his skin. Advt.
(Note—Space Contributed by A. F. Cadozoe, 5329 Wabash Ave.)
some of his efforts futile confined to the Second Ward but Mr. Hoyne was going to continue his efforts so that colored people as well as white people would not have to contend with conditions which make it almost impossible to rear children without exposing them to all sorts of unnecessary evils."

We trust that over and above politics the general teachings of Christianity will eventually win, and Mr. Wilson will forget the Democratic party and the insipid Southern supporters. If Mr. Wilson and his followers can not take a man's stand, we will. If Valera, the Irish president, can come over to America and solicit American sentiment for Ireland, the leaders of American Negroes can do the same.
The hanners are unfurled.

Every street corner, from every forum of public life, and through the press, the Negro voters call for support of politicians, their measure.

Their methods have been so that as a result much of the intelligent electors, the faction, and has been replaced in many elements of voters.

This mass of paradoxical evidence, the voting action, not from the point of view of sentiment, the faction, but for the purpose of bringing to himself and his community. Thus, as in commerce, success depends upon political bargains in order to get the best results most intelligent and unselfish leaders.

The Paramount Issue In The Coming Elections
From every street corner, from every forum of public opinion, from the pulpit, and through the press, the Negro voter is receiving partisan appeals for support of politicians, their measures, or their factions. The WHIP stands today where it has stood in all previous political fights, uncontrolled by any particular faction, but independently fighting for the greatest good to the greatest number of people. So numerous are the candidates who are at this time bidding for public favor, and so intricate and complicated are the issues involved in the many secret and partisan alliances, that the ordinary voter is completely bewildered and unable to get at the crux of the situation and decide for himself which of the many platforms and candidates now appealing for his support is the best one for him.
The two Republican factions now fighting for supremacy in the Second ward are led by Mayor William Hale Thompson and by ex-Governor Charles Deneen and Atty.-General Edward Brundage, respectively. On each ticket there are men who stand for the highest ideals attainable in a Democracy like curs. Likewise there are men on each ticket who have proven that their sole aim in political activities is to exploit the public to their own personal gain.
The Thompson administration has become popular with the Negro voter because it has placed certain leaders in positions of prominence that were never before held by men of color. But in many instances these particular men have broken faith with the people by using them for their own individual good, and to perpetuate themselves in power. Their methods have been so absolute and arbitrary that as a result much of the intelligent electorate has been driven out of the faction, and has been replaced in many cases by the lower and vicious element of voters. The Thompson administration has also gained favor with the Negro voter by awarding a certain amount of merited patronage in the City Hall. It has at the same time lost the respect of many thoughtful and sober-minded voters because it has allowed conditions of vice and crime to dominate the Second ward.
The Brundage-Deneen faction, while having shown in many instances that it was interested in the elevation of the Negro voter, and was motivated by a spirit of fairness and justice, fell victim to henchmen of small minds and limited abilities. These men found it impossible to muster the intelligent vote, or to gain the respect of the constructive forces in the community.
Out of this mass of paradoxical evidence, the voter is called to make his selection, not from the point of view of sentimental devotion to a particular faction, but for the purpose of bringing about the greatest good to himself and his community.
In politics, as in commerce, success depends upon skillful bargaining. Political bargains in order to get the best results must be made by the most intelligent and unselfish leaders. The Old School Negro leader due to his ignorance and selfishness has unquestionably failed. The only way for the race to forge its way to the front and to receive the merited returns for their suffrage and labor, is to dethrone the old Uncle Tom, job-holding, money-grafting leader and the machines which furnish them with the money to perpetuate themselves and exploit the race. It is not a matter of Thompson or Deneen and Brundge factions. Regardless to how kindly disposed each faction is, if the Negro leaders are ignorant, crooked and selfish the race will not benefit.
The young Negro leaders have made a good bargain with the Deneen and Brundage forces in getting a colored man on the ticket for Congress; if he is elected it will mean more to the race than all the jobs the City Hall can give. In addition to this through the efforts of these unselfish young men, colored people to-day hold more jobs under Deneen and Brundage than they do in the City Hall. Follow the manly young stalwart leaders. You have all to gain and nothing to lose, except your political chains and the unsavory reputation of being a vest pocket, vice immunity vote.
THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL
Atrocious Neglect of Duty
Eight white men took a negro from the custody of five officers at Graham yesterday and shot him to death. The negro was guilty of the crime for which negroes are usually strung up and he had confessed, the courthouse doors were open, the judge sat on the bench, a thousand people in the courtroom and machinery of the law had been set going to give the negro a fair trial within a few hours after his crime. He would have been found guilty and sentenced to die and he would have died, in due process of time, as the penalty of the law would have provided. But as the jailer and the sheriff of the county and three deputies were bringing the negro from the jail, 100 yards distance from the Graham courthouse, eight men surged forward and bodily took the negro from the hands of the officers, placed him in an automobile, drove him down the road a few hundred yards and sent twenty bullets into his body.
We have no sympathy for the negro. He got what was coming to him. The law prescribes that those who do what he did shall be punished by the forfeiture of life and this law is 99 cases out of a 100 followed out. We have less sympathy, however, for the eight men who assumed to be the law and to become the law's self-appointed executioners and still less sympathy we have for the five officers who allowed the man to be taken from them. How can one reasonably suppose that these five officers would allow eight men to take a prisoner from their hands? They were armed, the officers were, and it was their duty to have used their pistols in the event of interference on the part of any of the officers. If any of the duty imposed upon them by law, but only eight men attacked them, we are told, and succeeded in wresting the negro from their possession, get in an automobile and drive away. We suppose the sheriff, the deputies and the jailer quietly put their hands in their pockets when the eight lawless citizens seized the negro so "suddenly that the officers were taken off their guard," or they may have calmly

The Failure of Woodrow Wilson
There are many grave problems in the United States today. All of these problems are of immediate moment because they effect the very vitals of this republic. The problems that carry the greatest weight would logically demand the greatest consideration. The greatest factor in solving intra-national problems is public opinion. Public opinion is created by public leaders. The greatest leader of the general public in America is the President. The President of the United States should be, and generally is, the omnipotent dynamic and the creative generator of public opinion.
The President of the United States, Mr. Woodrow Wilson, "the incomparable magnificent champion of democracy," has taken the reins of unbridled opinion and has attempted to drive it into the untraveled tracts of the American mind. The President has attempted to formulate public opinion in favor of international arbitration and a League of Nations, against labor disorders and strikes, against anarchy and destructive forces, such as bolshevism and I. W. Wism, against the high cost of living, against Irish slavery, against the Armenian and Polish treatment of Jews. He has made open denunciation against these evils in chronological order. He has vented his spleen against these evils in unique and original English, that gave evidence of a trenchant pen wielded by the guiding hand of a master architect of word construction. His work has not been in vain. Public opinion has been created in favor of what Mr. Wilson advocates and public opinion has been created against that which Mr. Wilson condemned. Woodrow Wilson is a dynamo of public opinion. His word has the effect of rocking the foundation of the opinstructure, his work vibrates and revibrates across the seas, American the world. Woodrow Wilson's word has been called the word of
one teaching American millions. His word burns into the heart of Civilization and unless his word is heard and obeyed, it is eloquently stated that the Heart of the World will be broken. What Mr. Wilson has said has been recorded on the pages of History. What Mr. Wilson should have said and did not say will be charged against him just as surely as his virtues will be counted for him. Mr. Woodrow Wilson has not taken an open stand against the maltreatment of Negroes. He has not taken a militant stand against mob violence and lynchings. He has not taken an open stand against the segregation and political slavery of 12,000,000 Americans. He has not attempted to create opinion in favor of the 12,000,000 colored citizens of America. In other words, one great problem he has not openly considered, the most vital problem. The most evident and the gravest problem has either been advisably and cautiously avoided or has been inadvertently neglected. Public opinion, in regard to the Negro, has been allowed to drift to the present time. The mind and opinion of America in regard to the Negro is swayed by all kinds of forces; the destructive and evil ripple of Southern hatred has become a Tidal Wave that sweeps every shore and confine of the land of the free and home of the brave. The blood of the American Negro that has been spilled because of uncontrolled mal-opinion of America, is of sufficient proportions to crimson to a brighter red the ruddy waters of the Mississippi River, and if the dead should be piled, the height would compare with the highest peaks in the world. This really is a grave problem. The world knows it, America knows it and Mr. Woodrow Wilson knows it. Then why has Mr. Wilson the apostle of democracy, in his epistles to America and the world failed to voice the militant sentiments? Why has he allowed public opinion to run at random and play havoc in America? We will attempt to analyze and reach an answer by the method of the Residue
Mr. Wilson has failed to act for one of three reasons: (1) He has a constitutional antipathy and hatred for Negroes; (2) the Negro problem is not of sufficient weight and gravity; (3) the political aspect of the situation would make it fatal to his political aspirations and injurious to his party.
As to reason (1), we do not believe that a man of Mr. Wilson's intelligence and education could religiously hate a whole race of humble, crushed and bruised citizens. It is unthinkable and anachronistic. It is incompatible with the ideals that Mr. Wilson has fostered and nurtured. We will dismiss number (1) because it is contrary and reprehensible to sound thinking.
As to reason number (2), has the Negro problem enough weight to be considered during these tumultuous times? Up to date 2,689 Negroes have been lynched since 1899, only 19.8 per cent were "accused" of rape. There have been four race riots of worldwide significance within the last two years and increased racial friction all over the country. It is reported that over 150 people have been killed in these riots and over 700 injured; over $3,000,000 worth of property has been destroyed. Foreign countries have flung sarcastic remarks into the teeth of our government—Germany, England, France, Brazil, Japan and Mexico. Twelve million Negroes, one-twelfth of America's population, are denied equal protection of the laws. The problem has great weight and reason number (2) is prima facie worthless.
Let us then consider reason number (3). Would a stand against these evils hurt Mr. Wilson and the Democratic party? We think the answer is self-evident, it would. Southern opinion is addled, rankled and conjured by the infernal imps of his Satanic Majesty, the Devil; the South has a mono-mania and that is Negro hatred. The mind of the South is one-sided. The Negro has no rights that white men must respect; this is a Southern slogan. In order to be friends with the South, you must keep the Negro down, and segregate and discriminate him. The Democratic party is supported by the solid South. The Democratic party must crush the Negro to keep its foothold below the Mason-Dixon. If Mr. Wilson defends Negroes, the South would be enraged. The Democratic party would be injured and Mr. Wilson's political life would wane into oblivion. Therefore number (3) is THE reason. The politics of America will not encourage Mr. Wilson to take a man's stand.
THE CHICAGO WHIP
reached into their trousers, extracted a plug of tobacco and been cutting off a chew or they might have been discussing the crops and speculating on what sort of weather September must bring in order to produce big cotton and tobacco yields. We don't know what they were doing except that they were not attending to their business and doing their duty.
And in a vast majority of cases, it is such negligence as this on the part of officers that makes lynching possible. We can sometimes excuse officials who are literally overpowered by an angry, well-armed mob and who yield the keys of jails under threats from a greater number, but never before has there appeared a grosser instance of weak-kned defenders of the majesty of the law than in this case when five officers were powerless before eight citizens and let a prisoner be taken from their possession with out seemingly having raised a whimmer.
If North Carolina wants to sustain the reputation for lynching, for lawlessness, for trampling under foot the sacred tenets by which our people are protected and our civilization is founded, let them continue to excuse such truancy as this amusing act at all: we will simply walk our single-handed, if we please, snatch a prisoner and satisfy our personal vengeance upon him.

"STORES IN ALL PRINCIPAL CITIES"
Altogether Too Frequent
Burlington and Graham people seemed to have learned their lesson well. Recently, when the mob spirit got rampant, an attempt was made to storm the Alamance county jail to remove three negroes, charged with the usual heinous crime. Presence of a machine gun company from Durham prevented the over-throw of the majesty of the law after one man had been killed and two others wounded. Yesterday in the vicinity of the two Alamance towns, there was another attempt at the usual crime made by a negro. This time the intended victim was a little eight-year-old girl, the daughter of a well known farmer. Deputies arrested the negro and startled Abraham where a preliminary hearing was held. Ex route to the jail the officials were merely stopped by a squad of eight men who took the negro from the deputies. The body was later found, almost riddled with bullets, in a body of woods between the two towns.
It was a well carried out plan the lynchers had. There was no hurry no noise—the fact that the negro's life had been taken was not known to a vast majority of the residents of
HEALTH HINTS.
All organic functions are caused by the one universal principle of life, this principle is self existent and can be found everywhere and in every thing.

the whole. But if the form is broken up and loses its character it will manifest in other forms. The life which is active in a man during his lifetime, causing the organic function of this body, will manifest its activity in creating worms in his body after the spirit departs from its mortal habitation. The spirit therefore attacks the life principle either consciously or unconsciously, therefore it is up to us as intellectuals to use the forces at our disposal, not subconsciously as the planets and lower animals, but consciously as Gods of our own destiny. The Christian Science has got this idea, but a patient patient of good in the field of Terophy and it would be well for the intelligent physician to give this branch of science a little thought. Because as the human race develops and becomes conscious of its dynamic powers the crude and empiric system of medication will be wholly discovered.
With a thorough knowledge of the laws of Physical Well-being, a proper administration of sanitary laws and an awakening to the potency of the life principles which can be guided through training, man shall stand up and deny the forces of evil and be the Lord and Master of himself.

the section until hours after the lynching. There is no need expressing regret that the mob spirit reached what might be termed successful proportions—the law doubtless would have expeditionally and completely collected the toll demanded by law and by something higher had it been given the opportunity.
There is hardly any defense for the lynchers. But there is one thing that leaders of the negro race are going to have to take into consideration. Such crimes as that attempted yesterday have been occurring altogether too frequently. Arrests and trials seem to have no effect on the minds of the negroes guilty of the unmentionable. A crime of that sort brought close home to a friend causes a man to have an altogether different viewpoint. Outraged citizenship is sooner or later going to take the law into its hands with a good deal more frequency unless the real negro leaders get busier than they have been.
We believe a negro guilty of the crime should be treated not one bit worse than the white man. It's not a question of color; the big problem is the frequency of the attempts. We can expect frequent—and very regrettable—outbreaks of the lynching spirit unless something is done to curb the acts that invariably lead to the outbreaks.
Nevertheless it must be borne in mind that we have not yet reached that standard and should use every means at our disposal, crude as they may be to combat disease. The power auto suggestion is great as is expounded and exemplified in the Christian Science Doctrine, but it needs a plenty of will power to hold the thought to the object in view long enough to achieve tangible results and but few can accomplish this.
To have put the Howitzer off one day into the hands of the primitive
man with which to defend himself would have been useless. The club he wielded was so much more potent to him as a weapon of defense. To deny that one is sick when he actually is, is foolhardiness because living as he is in a fool's paradise he shall not use the means at his disposal to relieve conditions and swift destruction shall be his doom. Te employ Christian Science without the knowledge and power necessary at your command to get results, is like a man refusing to travel by his horse and cart because he wants to operate a flying machine, the mechanism of which he knows nothing about.
MACKINAC ISLAND NEWS
Mackinac Island, Sept.
Mrs. Lile Whitney, who has been on the sick list for a while, but again. The white Congregational Church cordially welcomes the visitors of our group while the rest of the congregation stays in England, among us of that demonstration here. Conduct and dignity of our people in accepting visitors is a matter of England, Ohio, paid up his old friend H. J. McKinsey a short visit the past week. Thadius Jones is doing a wonderful business at the Mackinac Island Ray Treatment. The CHICAGO WHIP that has been so popular with the visitors the past summer should be held in the church and Ray treatment be acquainted with the "paper with a policy." The Grand Hotel Bellman, is deplorable that so many young men of today think it necessary to load up with liquor to attend such an event. The Beau Brummel of the Island, as he has set the pace for the neat dressers, is known with her husband, James Lawson, the past few days. She was entertained Thursday evening in a very elaborate way by Mrs. Ada Smith, who was a very pretty and successful social event.
