CHICAGO, Dec. 16—Every indication points to a tremendous success when the faculty orders to order at the great Sixth Annual Essay Contest of Chicago at Olive Baptist church this coming Sunday. The faculty promotes the officers and promotors are satisfied that the contest will very far overshadow any of those previously being left undone to the enthusiasm shown toward any held in this city and because of this nothing is being left undone to the spectations. There was not a hitch in the plans. Each literary organization responds to the contest by the selection of its judges: the contestants delivered their essays to the promoters on the exact date and judged by the selection of the judges were present at the named date, ready for their work and went about it in a very agreeable and enthusiastic manner of how eagerly a worthy effort is encouraged and supported. For this reason, the faculty is becoming a necessity, and the people of this vicinity look forward to the sending of them with joy and expectation. Too much credit can not be given to Dr. Louis Usselman, 3150 South State Avenue, for a very great interest in each of the contests and has greatly donated each of the awards sought after by the contestants in all the contests. He has been the cause of young people knowing more about the faculty in this city. The contestants have been benefited and likewise the public at Belmont University were held four times at Quinn Chapel and now it goes DR. LOUIS USSELMAN to Olivet Baptist church. Next year it will go to St. Marks M. E. church; the idea of Mr. Fitts being to have people in all sections of the city get the chance to attend, to bring them before all denominations. Such a broad vision of a business man's responsibility to his trade is rarely ever overlooked. Mr. Fitts is worthy of appreciation. Both the promoters, Mr. Fitts and Mr. Mitchel, and Dr. Ursheim, need to be compelled to be open and receptive, needy and necessary enterprises and believe the people of Chicago deserve to be praised for such an enthusiasm, and for acceptance. In as much as Dr. Ursheim takes time to give him libertate patronage in the purchase of Christmas remembrances. Sunday Club at Grace: The Sunday Club, at Grace Presbyterian church, was held last Sunday large crowd organized by A. L. Jackson, executive secretary of the Washahi Avenue Association, was the principal speaker. One of the features of the concert was the use of Maude J. Roberts. Miss Roberts is Chicago's leading soprano singer and the only one instructed under the great Herman Devries, Chicago's foremost opera instructor. Her renditions were great and unruly great aplelause. She was accompanied Mr. T. Theo. Taylor, who rendered seven rases as the best pianist and accompanist in the city. They are being urged a concert at Louisville, Ky., the comedy festival, thereby derided by Mr. Maynard Jackson and a violin solo by Mr. Haywood. Grace orchestra furnished the music, which was very enjoyable and well rendered. Stirred Up a Hornet's Nest. The story in last week's Freeman stared up a hornet's nest in this city, above Supreme Chancellor Green of the Knights of the Holy Cross, in position at the next coming session. Some claim that Mr. Green is a wheel horse and none dared to oppose him while others claim that he must have a successor. The delegates of the North and this section seem to be with him because Mr. Green favors a Temple building at Chicago while the Southern delegates claim that each state, like Kentucky and Louisiana and other states, should have a state building of their own. One of Mr. Green's strongest supporters in this city is Mr. Edward Green of the Fythian Temple in Waltham, Mass. W. Watkins. A report, however, comes from the South that the fight is on and will be bitterly waged until it reaches the next sitting of the Supreme Lodge. Attorney L. B. Anderson III. Attorney Louis B. Anderson, assistant corporation counsel for the city of Chicago, is quite ill at his home, 28th and Wabash avenue. He has been in the hospital and surgeon constantly in attendance. Mrs. Anderson has been at his bedside daily and nightly, in the hope of his visit. Mr. Anderson will soon be on the road to recovery. Mrs. Kid Thomas Breaks Arm. Mrs. Margaret Thomas, 3148 Wabash avenue, was entering the door at the Illinois theater last week to see Bert Williams. She slipped and fell and was taken to the hospital by George C. Hall was called and attended Mrs. Thomas. It will be remembered that it was Mrs. Thomas who was then taken to the hospital to little girl in the Williams and Walker show. She had been complimented with a ticket by the noted comedian. She was overjoyed and put a taxi and visiting the afternoon. The real pain, however, did not come until after the show was over. She put a taxi and visited her home where she is being given the best of attention. Chester Brewer Has Position. Mr. Chester Brewer, a graduate of the Pharmaceutical Department of the University of Pennsylvania, has taken a position as clerk in the drug store of Wallace, 33th and State street in Philadelphia, where he has a brother, Roscoe Brewer, who is studying dentistry at the Northwestern Both are members of the Wabash Avenue Association and live in the dormitory.

The Eighth Regiment, Provident Hospital and Wabash Avenue Association are three great big institutions that must be colored people and a credit to the race and the ingenuity of this people.

"The Night Book," edited by Mr. Henry (Tenan) Jones, has made a place for "The Stroll," Mr. Jones contributes a philosophy weekly in his book that causes the "boys to sit up and take notice." He writes that "you can follow along the stroll that no other publication takes up; hence it is in a demand "I thank you," is all Edgar Dillerson's work. "I say it will be brimful of good things during the Christmas holidays. Edward Thompson Making Good. The Wabash Avenue Association is fortunate in having as one of its new members the son of Mrs. Ewlow Thompson, of its dianapolis, Ind. He received his education in the public schools of that city and specialized in shorthand and the印apolis plague at the "Y" and Dr. George C. Hall recommended Mr. Thompson who is now making good. He lives with his aunt, Mrs. Connors, and his wife, I say, "I love you, Indianapolis, but oh, you Chicago." **Edgar Conners at the Indemers** Edgar Conners and his partner who recently married are at the new Monohome, as usual is the hit of the bill and their wardrobe a thing of beauty. Mr. Conners, it will be remembered, played the son of Sambo in Cole and Johnson's shows. --- Miss Katherine Kent. Birmingham Ala, who has been the guest of Mme State street, returned home Saturday.

A large crowd had gathered long before the house or the program to be brought by 3 o'clock the hall was filled, an appreciable number being white friends who were interested in the meeting. Mr. Washington during the afternoon than that expressed by the silent, thoughtful attitude of all present, notwithstanding a large audience, the audience was composed of pupils who occupied the front seats on the main floor. A number of colored and white citizens from many walks of the city attended the presentation and throughout the various addresses it was significant that each speaker had grasped the salient characteristics of Mr. Washington's voice. The general thought that Mr. Washington's heart was broader than any race that his faith was greater than any circumstance. There was no speaker who did not express a belief that the dead leader had been called to bring about a better understanding between man and his brother the world over. All touched upon the fact that Mr. Washington had been entertained by kings, emperors and Presidents, but that he was always proud that he belonged to the attention to the fact that Mr. Washington had been entertained by his greater opportunity to serve.

It is ad being to the massacre with dignity a man when hated and despised by the world, but it is easy to pay tribute when the world bows its head in ac- knowledgement of this greatness." He placed Booker T. Washington second to no man in wisdom, great ability and humility. He spoke of self-effacement a leader to the massacre with dignity a leader and said that self-denial was the greatest attribute in the life of Washington, and that he had never known a man who was more humble in "His life," Mr. Hanna said, "was a demonstration of the fact that true greatness is not confined to any races, but to all races, to greatness in that he gave his life for the cause of humanity and the world. For what greater thing can a man give to his friend, Rev. for the Mt. Zion Baptist church, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church, spoke briefly, emphasizing the fact that the loss of Mr. Washington was felt keenly not only by the whites as well.

He thinks to think, to accomplish things that one great and good, not for self but for humanity—these are the qualities that make Washington's life illustrated the triumph of democracy; that it represented the power of a purpose, and that it represented a number of prominent white and colored citizens occupied seats on the platform by special invitation, among others. R. C. Atkins, Rabbi Ferdiecht, James Douglas, Mrs. C. J. Walker, G. L. Knox and Alvah J. Rucker, prosecuting attorney. Mr. Rucker's response to a very difficult question forth much applause. He declared among other things that the Negro race had made more progress in the schools than in the other race in 500 years of its history. Should Be Commended. He said that a race having made such creditable progress should be commended, encouraged, discriminated against. He characterized the Negro as patient, law abiding and intelligent. He believed that the chief heritage Washington was the race was his "stick-to-itiveness." "The speakers before me," he said, "have referred to Mr. Washington as king and to Mr. Jackson as tell us that Moses had times of discourage, and we have no record of a moment in Mr. Washington's life. He was tempted to give up the ship. The qualities which made him great were his sincerity, his honesty of purpose and his every day, whole-hearted how to be a bishop, but the men whom we can trust are the men who believe in God and obey the dictates of the soul. White men will tell all how to be a bishop, the commemoration of the life of Booker T. Washington."

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 超 A PSALM OF STRIFE. (With Apologies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.) Tell me not in less nining numbers, Xmas time is almost here. Ever since you wandered Whence so many friends appear. Time is real and Life is earnest: For they find me in a hole. "Spend thy dust and dust returneth." Was not spoken of my roll. In the Xmas shopper's battle, Take right in nor fear the stricte; Just buy the cattle, cattle, Buy your gifts or lose your life. Life's not long and money's fleeting; Little use to try and save. Xmas bills will still be greeting You until you reach the grave. None will trust you, howe'er pleasant You may smile, for trust is dead. Paint your roll or present; Loose your roll or lose your Lives of splendours all remind us, We can be as asinine; And at parting, leave behind us Not an echo of a dime. "Salm Tutt Whitney." Who put the X in Xmas? It is such a tale that are soon to leave us forever. (Sympathetically dedicated to the Family Man.) The melancholy days are come, with tears and tears, With sidewalks, windows, shops a-bloom With toys, and presents dear, With wherever way Pa may turn, With whatever way Pa may turn.

The Black Hussars, Henderson Smith manager, arrived in New York on Monday. The act is said to be a big improvement over the other acts recently handled by Mr. Smith. Tom Cross is the comedian featured. Billy Jones wishes to state that because of his involvement in anonymous communications in regards to complaints of performers using each other's material as I will not be involved in such transaction as I was recently in New York. The parties involved should seek redress through the chance for denial. However, I'm glad to state that I corrected a statement recently made in New York, and I believe that I do believe in this knocking business and jealousy and the sooner the colored performers learn this the better concern.

HOPPE SAYS IT'S CLEVER WRIST CUE ARTIST NEEDS. Control of the Delicate Muscles Essential—Wizard Billiard Player Can't Tell Why He's So Brilliant—Modest as Ever. the difference between a good and a bad pool or billiard player is control of the more delicate muscles of the wrist. Willem Hoppel's wizard of all wizards at billiards, in an interview at New York, said "a man must have perfect eye for measuring distance and speed, but nearly all players out of the shortstop clash have the main thing is that the muscular control in the wrist." I'll tell you, though, why a lot of our players are shortstop clashers. Jack Doyle, a dyes-in-the-wool fan and billiardist, who is not so modest, and right here is probably the secret of their success, is important matches lost just that way. Hoppe noticed that when a kid and an adult shot easy if the balls are but two inches apart. He changes his 'stance' on every shot, even if the balls do not move more than a quarter of an inch. He does not notice that, and loses through carelessness." Hoppe agreed with this.

"I have been playing the game ever since I can remember," he says, "and that man have a number of players but have been doing the same thing. Yes, and the first thing you know, one of these youngsters will come along and play France after winning the championship from Vignaux.

In that case the opponent that Jake Shafer was the greatest billiard player that he ever saw, but he expresses at never having seen Frank Ives. Hope simply has the game of billiards sewed up at every angle. The man who think up hard games admit that they are at the end of their string. "What do you consider the most valuable of all shots?" was asked Hoppe. "The draw shot," he replied promptly. "That's the basis of all the variations of English. When a player gets to wield a shot, he can control, all he needs is practice to out of the short-stop class." It might be hard for the hard-game players are players who are too good for the ordinary player, but just hard-game players are players who are too good for the ordinary player, but just hard-game players are players who are too good for the ordinary positions that semi-final boxes do to the champions. "Naturally, everybody must have a good stroke," says the champion. "But the good stroke is rather difficult. You've got to match the muscles of the wrist."

As a publicity getter he takes all the pastry, and publicity is essential to Johnson's exhibitions. a good stroke. Once you feel it you'll know it. When a player has a good stroke he feels confident of his ability, so that he Uses the user does. Using the position is merely a matter of experience.

If necessary, he can dance around any heavyweight in the business for an hour. 5. He has a knockout punch in either hand. hand. 1. He has twenty-nine clean knock-out to his credit. 2.
