Emilie of the auspices of the Des Molinea Negro Lyceum at Burns M.

In another part of this paper is a full report of the United States Supreme Court punishing officers by imprisonment in the penitentiary for failing to protect the life of a colored man accused of rape in Chattanooga, a city where he was killed by him and lynch the accused. This is the first Instance in the United States that the Supreme Court invoked such a penalty of officers. It was a case that I have been watching for several years because of the rank defiance the sheriff and associates had made. Now I am confident that all six should remain there the balance of their lives if they had got full justice. We can only say "Amen" to the honorable and venerable body's action. They have done their plain duty. It is an old axiom that the "Mills of the gods grind slowly, but the men of the army of colonel in the Confederate army, with long gray hair—over 79 years of age—must suffer for his unfitness to hold an office. WILL REPRESENT DES MOINES. Because of the fact that there are five societies in Des Moines that have voted to send representatives to the Inter-State Literary Association at Kansas City next month, and the three papers from the same city, the delegates from these five societies held a city convention last Monday evening before the Willett lecture for the purpose of determining what three per person be the best school or college papers before the Inter-State meeting. The convention was presided over by Atty. S. Joe Brown, vice president of the Inter-State Association, and delegates were present from the Negro Lyrical Society, the Cosmopolitan Literary Promvement Club, Mary Church Terrell Club and the Cosmopolitan Literary Society. The society nominated one candidate and the result of the ballot was the selection of Mr. Mason J. Hall of the Lyceum who is also a member of the Intellectual Improvement and Mary Church Terrell Clubs, and Miss Beesle Reeves of the Cosmopolitan Literary who is also a member of the Lyceum. MRS. S. JOE BROWN LOSES HER CASE. Last week the Iowa Supreme Court handed down a decision in the Brown v. Bell, who refused to serve her with a cup of coffee. The court sustains that the judge dissected Judges dissecting, Judges Evans and Weaver. Below we publish Judge Evans' dissent. We are sorry that Mr. Brown lost this case, so we believe she was greatly humiliated, and these papers are not a way for their action. Judge Evans, in dissenting, says: Law Does Not Protect There is no question but that Mr. Browne, the act of the coffee company's agent in refusing to serve her with a sample cup of coffee, but, as the opinion reads, "it was one of those social humiliations which the law does not undertake to protect." The support court says, "the case does not come within the civil rights statute upon which it is based. The coffee company cannot be held guilty of violating the statute." Evans and Justice Weaver, in dissenting, say the majority of justices are wrong in holding that the coffee company was not giving a public show nor maintaining a public refreshment booth. True, they say, but the show was made up of the various booths and without the booths there would be no show. Hence, all should be considered as one. Evans' Opinion In the dissenting opinion which was written by Chief Justice Evans, is the following: "The majority opinion is professedly 'divorced from sentiment', but the statute is a statute of sentiment. It had its origin in sentiment and draws upon ordinary property rights. It is a form of the chivalry of the older days. It is an embodiment in statutory form of the sympathy of the dominant race for the weaker race in its struggle for equality. It was of no value in ship. The struggle is strenuous at best. Perhaps no race that has aspired to the recognition of higher civilization has ever carried a heavier load of disadvantage. This was the situation that appealed to the majority. It was framed in language broad and comprehensive. Its manifest purpose was, and is, to protect this burdened race against the further burden of public discrimination and humiliation. It does not satuate the majority. It was there any question of social rights involved in this case, nor was the humiliation of the plaintiff a mere 'social humiliation' as indicated in the majority opinion." Justice Deamer wrote the majority opinion, which was concurred in by all save Chief Justice Evans and Justice Weaver.

"RAY OF HOPE" was the subject of the lecture delivered by Rev. Father E. S. Willett, rector of the colored Episcopal church of Kansas City, Mo., at Burns M. E. church, under the auspices of the Des Moines Negro Lyceum last Tuesday evening. He said many good things concerning the race problem; he also claims that the only hope for the American Negro lies in his study of his own people, that we must study our ancestry from Ham down to the present date, that we should know more about the race and then we would be more able to help work out this problem. He held that this problem cannot be worked out in a few days or a few years, but that we should look into the future an prepar for our descendants. He said that we had great leaders in the race, but the trouble with the most of them, they spend their time reproducing the charges made against us by our enemies in the other race, instead of doing something that would help elevate their own race. He liken them auto the prize fighter who is kept so busy warding off the blows of the other fellow that he hasn't time to get in any good licks for himself. Father Willett is a young man, but he is one of the deep thinkers of his race and all who heard him will agree that his solution for this great problem would eventually be wiped out if grasped by the thinkers of the race. REVIEW OF THE RACE PROGRESS FOR OCTOBER. We will try to write a synopsis of race achievements at the end of each month so we can see the drift of sentiment. The local county and state fairs that were high last year exhibited our genius, our business ability, our scientific farming and stock raising; also the best in our ladies' handiwork, needle skill and culinary art. The largest and best was in Louisville, Ky. There were thousands who attended and well practiced the baseball season is over and now football is the sport and in several of our high school, college and universities' teams are several colored boys. Mr. Archie Alexander, of our city, formerly a star in North High, is on the roster of the Iowa City, although last Saturday in the game with the Missouri State University, they protested against his playing because of color, and the Iowa University would not allow him to play. Perhaps this was the reason of their being defeated. Johnson, the heavyweight champion of the world, maintained the honor by defeating Ketchel last week. In the public eye, Gen. O. O. Haugen, an old union soldier, died in Washington, D. C. He is one of the last of the old guards whose name and life work is associated with the university, the great teacher of the founder of the famous Harvard University of Washington, D. C. We are sorry to lose such a valuable acquisition to humanity. In the matter of the north pole dispute between Peery and Cook, Hansen was the only other English-speaking man in the world who is undisputed. His statements are very weighty with the world at present. Think of it—negro to the north pole in the frigid zone! MOLINE GREETINGS.

The New Wardrobe SIX SENT TO JAIL SHERIFF IN FOR NINETY DAYS Others Receive Sentence of Two Months for Contempt of Court Failed to Protect Negro Whose Execution High Court Had Ordered Stayed—First Case of its Kind is History of the Country. Washington, Nov. 16.—For the first time in American history six men are in prison for contempt of the supreme court of the United States. For the first time, too, the federal government has placed men being accused of an act of murder, including the killing of a negro. At the United States jail in this city Captain Joseph F. Shipp, former Sheriff at Chattanooga, Tenn.; Jeremiah Gibson, his jailer, and Luther Williams, Nick Nolan, Henry Padgett and William Mayes of the same city began to serve terms of imprisonment imposed a few hours before by the supreme court of the United States. Shipp and Gibson have been guilty of failing to protect from a mob Ed Johnson, whose legal execution for rape had been stayed by the supreme court until it could review the case. The others had been found guilty of participation in the lynching of a federal prisoner. Shipp, Williams and Nolan have given sentences of ninety days' imprisonment, while Gibson, Padgett and Mayes received sixty days. The case originated in the court's decision in March, 1996, to consider the appeal of Johnson from a verdict or the Tennessee courts holding him guilty and sentencing him to be hanged on a charge of assault. The night after the determination of the supreme court to review the proceedings was wired to Chattanooga a mob stormed the jail, took the prisoner out and lynched him. The court was much incensed by the lynching, and at its instance the attorney general instituted proceedings against sheriff Sullivan Gilbarger, who have been implicated in the lynching, charging them with contempt. Many of the accused were exonerated and in the end only six were found guilty. In investigating the case the supreme court found that Johnson was removed from Chattanooga to Nashville before his trial, because of fear that he would be lynched. He was brought back for the legal execution. When the supreme court stayed the execution, the court has held, Shipp made no effort and gave no orders to have the deputies or others guard the jail, but left the night jailer, Qilson, there alone. That evening a white male prisoner was removed from the Johnson and a white woman on that floor. The court pointed out this same man had been removed in the same way at the time of the first attempt to lynch Johnson, which had been frustrated by the removal of the negro. Shipp lived only a few blocks from the jail and when he was notified by the trial judge and the prosecuting attorney that a mob was at the jail, went there alone. Although for an hour in the midst of or near the mob, the court held, he did not seek to obtain information so that he could identify any of its members. In finding Shipp guilty commented on a published interview alleged to have been had with Shipp. "The people of Hamilton county were willing to let the law take its course until it became known that the case would not probably be disposed of for four or five years by the supreme court of the United States," it quoted Shipp as saying, "but the people would not submit to this, and I do not wonder at it." Chief Justice Fuller, in pronouncing Shipp guilty, said that this reference people "had to be a candidate for re-election and had been told that his saving the prisoner from the first attempt to mob him would cost him his place, and he answered that he wished the mob had got him before he did." TRAGEDY ON DAKOTA FARM Tramp Kills Husband and Wife and is Himself Stain. Vermilion, S. D., Nov. 16—As the result of a tragedy at the farm home of Albert Nelson, in Riverside township, Clay county, twenty-six miles from Vermilion, a man and woman are dead and another will die.

About all the once mighty Bourbon family has still to lose is Spain. That sweet importation, the vendetta, never can make Americans love it. It is hard at this season to keep an current heating plant from overdoing the thing. New York has had enough Hudson-Fulton celebration to last it for at least a century. That little Norwegian with six senses should take a little look around for the fourth dimension. So far as can be observed, young women with fine ivory throats are not at all afraid of pneumonia. On second consideration the British house of lords probably will decide to be thankful that the budget is no worse. Having unquestioned supremacy on land, sea and in the air, Uncle Sam is perplexed to know what next to tackle. One good thing about eastern aerial travel is that there will be no stopping to get out and abovel snow off the track in winter. A Washington dispatch proposes a "cure for panic." The only cure for panic is a level head in a time of crisis and faith in the government. Every possible means is used to tempt this nation into imitating Europe by assuming a burden of militarism. Heaven forbid that the tempters should prevail. It is becoming quite the fashion for royal princes to woo American behrers. Ordinary titles will thus be crowded out of what they have hitherto found so profitable a matrimonial field. King George of Greece wants to abdicate. The king business is getting to be almost as strenuous as shooting lions on the jump in Africa, and the crowned beads of Europe are not used to it. The suggestion is made that the north pole be turned into a weather bureau station. This would be all right if they manage so that its brand of weather could be utilized in July or August. Queen Wilhelmina of Holland has invented a baby caravan in which the little princess may take her outing in all kinds of weather. Naturally, as a queen's invention, it ought to draw a large royalty. There are many tests of real love, but the plaint of a Brooklyn wife that a bride of 18 cannot love a husband of 66 on a continuous diet performance of bean soup is one of the meanest yet invented. Wife-destruction is becoming one of the great evils of the times. A punishment to fit this crime would be the sentence of the marital deserter to hard work in prison, with the profits thereof going to the family deserted. The German Year Book for 1909, just issued, gives the empire a population of $3,686,000. This is an increase of $2,500,000 in 3½ years. Since 1871 the count has increased by 23,000,000. It is healthy growth, the excess chief of births over deaths and a decreasing emigration. The coal-scuttle hat which has been derided as a thing unaesthetic served a utilitarian purpose when it saved a man's life in its awe-inspiring a brief that fell from the fourth story of a building. The incident shows what might be made of the hat, if beauty is to be ignored, and the qualities of the fireman's helmet cultivated. The news items embrace a shooting in mistake for a deer; the probable loss of two young hunters in the "north woods;" and the finding of the feet and shoes of a man who was eaten by wild animals while out hunting. These are warnings of the dangers of the chase which merely give zest to the sport of the true hunter, but they should admonish care, nevertheless, during the season which is now at hand. The report of the automobile accident by which two men were killed near Minneapolis, L. I. says that the vehicle was going at a moderate rate of speed" at the time, and goes on to relate that the two victims of the accident were being thrown over the front of the automobile against the (eleagraph pole with which the vehicle collided. It is evident that, the term "moderate speed" has taken on a new meaning since the advent of the motor vehicle. In a paragraphic reference to the rediscoverer of New York's great river which appeared in these columns he was spoken of as "Hendrik" Hudson. A subscriber protests that he was an Englishman and that his name was Henry. The subscriber is right. But the celebrated navigator was for a time in the employ of Holland and to his klockerbocker friends he was always "Hendrik". it means the same thing as Henry and looks much smaller in print—a very tempting quality from the standpoint of the paragrapher. Wilbur Wright, the hero of many wonderful achievements in aviation asserts that the mile-a-minute airship has arrived. Of course airships have a wide track both sideways and up and down, in which to move, the probability is that the average person travelling by the airline would be satisfied to go at a little lower rate.

Thaw was mobbed by a crowd that filled City Hall square when he was brought out of the supreme court building, in which he had been waiting all the foremen to testify in the suit brought against his mother by Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, the alienist, for $7,000 for his services in examining Thaw. Followed by David N. Carvalho, the handwriting expert; Dr. Amos G. Baker, superintendent of Matteawan, and two guards, Thaw came out of the courtroom immediately after recess was declared. Mr. Carvalho waned to take him to lunch at one of the lager downstairs, restaurants, and they had started in that direction when Dr. Baker interposed none too gently. After an exchange of bitter personilities Thaw consented to go with Dr. Baker. Meanwhile the crowd pressed about him so that the guards literally had to force a way through. They were able to force the crowd following and blocking the street. Thaw was taken back to Mateteaw. DRINK SELLERS ARE FINED Court Imposes Heavy Penalties for Breaking Local Option Law—Several Go to Jail. Bildev尔, Ill.—The largest aggregate of fines ever assessed in any county, with the total amount in effect was imposed when Judges De Wolf of this city and Recklow of Rockford fined 17 keepers of soft drink places the sum of $11,425 and sentenced each of the offenders to jail for, from thirty to thirty days. The jail sentences were to be suspended if the fines were paid, but only six of the keepers took advantage of the provision, and 11 of them are now confined in the county jail. The state has been vigorously and relentlessly prosecuted by State's Attorney Patrick H.

Washington — Attorney General Wickramsham has sufficient evidence in his possession to convince him that one or more officers and a number of the directors of the American Sugar and Refining Company can be punished for complicity in the wholesale robbery which the concern has perpetrated at the port of New York for many years past. The cabinet at its meeting Tuesday went over that phase of the case and is expected that the attorney general will be directed to bring these individuals to court at his earliest convenience. There is an unmistakable atmosphere of high tension at the department of justice and the treasury department. Developments are following each other with startling rapidity. It was declared by an official who has kept in touch with the investigation that the ultimate exposure will astound even those who have been expecting the most sensational result. James B. Reynolds, formerly assistant secretary of the treasury and now a member of the display board, declared there never had been any attempt on the part of the American Sugar Refining Company to influence any action of his and no instructions had been issued by him having any object in view beyond good administration and fair dealing to all concerned. Mr. Reynolds' statements were made as the result of publications to the effect that the treasury department numbered the administration of widow Rosevelt displayed indifference in procuring evidence of alleged "sugar trust" frauds; and that Richard Parr, a special agent of the department, in his investigations had encountered obstacles from the outset.

"I just spanked Ned. I don't know what course you'll pursue with Stephen," remarked the mother's intimate friend. "What have the boys been up to now?" was the timorous query. "About the very last thing you'd imagine. They've been eating lunch-on with the Italian laborers working along the car tracks. And you might as well know the worst at once—they've been eating meat cooked in a shovel." With a frantic vision of a hopefully germ-riddled child, Stephen's mother called her interesting heir to speedy account. "I didn't eat lunch-on with any strange men," he indignantly persisted. Those men are all my dear friends. And I didn't eat any meat cooked in a carvel, either." "Only some gravy cooked in a shovel by one of the men." Then perceive the wild alarm in the maternal countenance. "But it was clean all over." Then pour off the shovel with his hat before he poured in the gravy." HUNTING FOR BIG GAME.

In the Temagami region moose are plentiful and may be killed during the period from October 16th to November 15th.

He just received a check for $50 from my husband," she told him. "You will honor it, won't you?" The proprietor bowed and rubbed his hands. "My dear Mrs. Bluffer," he ventured, "I will not only honor it, but will fall down and worship it." Suspicious. The father of Judge W. H. Wadhams had a chicken-coop and a dog and a cat.

It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of medicines. There are some truly scientific physicians among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated regardless of the value to their pockets. Here's an instance: "Four years ago, I was taken with severe pain, and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. "I heard of a doctor who has a summer cottage near me—a specialist from N. Y., and as a last hope, sent for him. "After he examined me carefully he advised me to try a small quantity of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stomach became stronged to eat more. "I kept at it, and gradually got so I could eat and digest three teaspoons. Then I began to have color in my face, memory became clear, where before everything seemed a blank. My limbs got stronger and I could walk. I so easily recovered from an Grome Nuts I weighed 153 lbs. My people were surprised at the way I grew fleshy and strong on this food."

"Well, I'll be hanged if that isn't a bad book," Why, what? "Just look at that confounded railroad advertising on an Omaha elevator—UP! What won't they do next? His companion replied, 'Sh—, Sh— those letters mean 'up.'" When I see that word, this jingle always comes to my mind: "Whenever the little word 'up' you see, Think of Safety, Speed, Service via You will see that word at almost every passenger elevator in the country, but before you leave for the West, be sure to buy your ticket via 'The Safe Road to Travel.'" MAID FOUND A FEW THINGS As a Result, Brooklyn Woman Game Home to Make a Few Remarks to Hubby. Irving Berlin, the author of "My Wife's Gone to the Country," said at a recent dinner in New York. "A true happening was the inspiration of this song. "In July a Brooklyn woman set out for Ocean Grove, and on her arrival discovered that her watch, a small affair, was missing. She thought it had probably dropped on the thick, soft dining-room rug, so she wired to the maid at home: "Let me know if you find anything on rug in dining-room." "A few days later she got from the maid a letter saying: "Dear Madam: I was to let you know if I found anything on the dining-room curtaining. I bought the curtaining.

Kidney Disease Shows Many Painful and Unpleasant Symptoms. George B.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured Had a Sure Thing. An individual, well known on the Berlin Bourse for his wrist, one morning wagered that he would ask the same question of 50 different persons and receive the same answer from each. The wit went to first one and then another, until he had reached the number of 50. And this is how he won the bet: He whispered half audibly to each: "I say, have you heard that Meyer has failed?" "What Meyer?" queried the whole 50, one after another, and it was decided that the bet had been fairly won. Beautiful Structures Dreams Realized.

POOR WITNESS FOR FRIEND Deacon's Brief Emphatic Testimony Probably Somewhat Impressed the Jury. Deacon Stephen Potter, one of the pioneers of Utica, N. Y., was a man of great eccentricity but high moral character. The deacon will speak the truth and shame the devil," was often said of him. On one occasion a friend was engaged in a lawsuit in regard to some land a few miles from Utica. He held the land at a high price. During the trial he called Deacon Potter as a witness, to prove how valuable the land was. The deacon was sworn and asked if he knew the land. "Yes" he replied, "know every foot of it." "What do you think it is worth, Mr. Potter?" was the next question.

The next winter when it became cold the eczema started again and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches. At the same time her arms were sore the whole length of them. I took her to a physician, but the child grew worse all the time.

Mike Eile L. Grant Cheenen Head of Department at Bordentown. The success of many young Afro-American women in the higher branches of learning within the past few years has been truly gratifying and should arose and inspire a large number of those who for some reason are wont to leave school before finishing the pre-graduate program. The even more deplorable than this is to be found at the present time at Galveston, Tex., where the school authorities have shortened the course of study in the high school for Afro-Americans because a sufficient number of our girls and young women have not taken ad- A. H. MISS EFFINE R. GRANT. vantage of the opportunities offered by the school to justify a continuation of the full course. We recall with pleasure the progress which Miss Effie E. Grant has made both as a student of music and also as a teacher. From the time Miss Grant gave her first public recital in Warner hall, New Haven, Conn., last spring to the present the public has manifested keen interest in her. She is a graduate of the Yale Conservatory of Music and since finishing her studies there has been very active in musical and theatrical activities. She mentioned Miss Grant played a transcription of Haydn's "With Verdure Clad" ("Creation") with marked ability. Greig's "The Two Brown Eyes" and the "Swan," by the same author, "Serenata" (G. Braga) and "To Spring," Chaminae, were also brilliantly rendered. Miss Grant has accepted the offer of the Bordentown industrial school, at Bordentown, N. J., to take charge as music teacher and is succeeding splendidly. She is a typical New England girl who by persistence is making for herself a place of honor in the educational work of the race.

Success of Wage Earners'Company nah. Its success is an inspiration, and before this movement was organised very few Afro-Americans were engaged in business in Savannah. Its soundness gives it recognition in banking circles. During the panic period just past most of the banks in the city resorted to the "clearing house certificates" and in some instances did not make payments upon demand. This was a result of the bankingency to such an extent that it did not accept the plan adopted for the relief of other banks, but met all demands with the United States currency. A white corporation of magnitude in the industrial world accepted the opportunity presented the business element of Savannah during the panicky days by procuring funds from this bank for its exigencies. The officers and directors of this company are the following prominent Georgians: L. E. Williams, president; W. R. Fields, vice president; Walter S. Scott, secretary and treasurer; directors, L. E. Williams, L. M. Pollard, R. H. Brooks, W. H. Burgess, J. H. Bugg, M. D.; J. Williams, W. H. Field, H. Deveaux, Sol C. Johnsen, P. Edward Perry, James M. Ferrebee, Walter S. Scott. Superficial Aspect of Race Hatred. The quirks and turns of racial and religious prejudice are odd and somewhat incomprehensible. It is but a manifestation of the antipathy of the governing toward the governed and also the ill governed. The hatred of one race for the other is to a very large extent the hatred of the oppressor for the oppressed. It is not actually racial, though this is the superficial aspect, manifesta- tion of the common human phenomenon the intense dread of a man toward a person whom he has wronged.-Cambridge (Mass.)

THE ORIGINAL HAIR GROWER We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours with PORO TRADE MARK REGISTERED. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was pos- sible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us, when trying to sell their goods (saying that theira is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mr. A. M. POPE.
