Made Masterful Ploe Before Judge Hane and a Jury at New York For Ernest O'Neill. Charged With Felonious Assault With Intent to Kill, and Wins. Fairness of Northern Courts. One of the most sensational cases of recent date tried in the criminal courts of New York, in which an Afro-American was the defendant, was that of Ernest O'Nell, a Nova Scotian, who was charged with felonious assault with intent to kill the mate of the steamer Annie O'Conda, which sailed from New York for New York on Aug. 27. When the ship was seven days out O'Nell and the mate of the steamer an alteration over a matter regarding an order from the captain. The night on which the dispute occurred the mate met O'Nell upon the deck of the ship and questioned him regarding the matter and then and there, as O'Nell alleges, threatened to burn his brain out with a club, saying, "The next time you have an argument with the captain cut my name out." On meeting O'Nell the second time that same evening O'Nell says that the mate and the captain murder, striking him over the deck of a club, whereupon O'Nell drew his gun and shot the mate, as he says, in self defense. O'Nell was arrested and upon the arrival of the ship at New York was turned over to the authorities upon the charge as before stated and was put in prison. Lawyer Alfred C. Cown of 20th Broadway immediately upon hearing or reading of the incident visited young O'Nell in the Tombs, took his availant and volunteered his services in the prisoner's cell. He was sent to a trial in the United States district court for the southern district of New York before Judge Hand and a jury on Wednesday, Nov. 24. Counsel Cown made a masterful plea for the discharge of his client. In concluding A. B. ALFRED C. COWAN, ESQ. his argument Counselor Cowan said to Judge Hand, looking the jurors squarely in the face: I ask your honor to charge the jury that the defendant had a right to come out of the cabin of the ship for the purpose of going to the sleeping quarters and without attack by the complainant. I ask your honor to charge the jury that the complainant had no right to prevent defendant from going to his quar- That the complainant had no right to prevent the defendant by force or threats from coming out of the cabin of the ship in pursuit of going into his sleeping quarters. I ask your honor to charge the jury from his attack so that he was driven into the water and attacked by the complainant and was unable to escape, was in imminent danger from his attack so that he was driven into the water and attacked by the complainant and was justified in so doing and that they must acquit the defendant. (Qualified). I ask your honor to charge the jury that the defendant was not responsible for a mistake which he may have made in shooting at the complainant in self-defense design which did not end on the part of the complainant, and if the jury find that the defendant was attacked, assailed by the complainant and that the defendant was not responsible for a mistake that his only course was to shoot at the complainant he was justified in so doing, and they must acquit the defendant. I ask your honor to charge the jury that to a certain extent the defendant must be held guilty of his crime, him, and if he acted honestly and upon reasonable grounds he cannot be held accountable. He cannot be guilty of his surprise and excitement and believed himself to be in great apparent danger. I ask your honor to charge the jury that if they have a reasonable doubt as to whether the defendant had a right to shoot in self defense, and they must give him that doubt and acquit him. I ask your honor to charge the jury that if they have a reasonable doubt as to whether the defendant must give him that doubt and acquit him. The jurors were out only five minutes before they returned with a verdict of not guilty. We have had occasion to commend the fairness of the jury and the judge before, and the verdict of the jury in this case only confirms our former opinion. Counselor Cowan is an able attorney and as a proctor in admirity has won distinction at the New York bar. He has won 90 per cent of the hundreds of cases intrusted to him. Counselor Cowan spent nearly $300 in fighting this case and up to the time the jury rendered its final judgment. The counselor felt it was a signal victory for both counsel and client.

Life of J.hn Brown Reviewed Daring Deeds of Man Who Sacrificed Its Life for Human Liberty Intelligently Lost at Great Meeting in Brooklyn on Fifth Anniversary of Its Martyrdom. Patrolite exercises were held in the Concord Baptist church, Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, Dec. 2. In commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the martyrdom of John Brown, under the auspices of the officers and teachers of the Sunday school. An inspiring program of maze, mentions, and essays preceded the dedication of the event dedicated by the Rev. A. Chayton D. A. Clayton of New York, whose subject was "Some Elements in the Character of John Brown." The introductory address was made by Mr. Edward L. Paucon, chairman of the program committee, Superintendent N. B. E. dumonier was master of ceremonies, Miss Clara E. Henry, secretary of the program committee, is one of the most useful and esteemed students, and rendered valuable services in helping to make the exercises a grand success. Miss Henry is a student at the Normal college, New York. Dr. Powell's address was delivered with great vigor and earnestness, and be awayed the audience at will. At times the audience was bubbling with laughter, at other times almost in tears, as the speaker portrayed in the best English and logic, and the strongest impulses in the life of the hero of Harpers Ferry. Dr. Powell spoke in part as follows: John Brown not only had the proper convictions concerning the liberty and manhood rights of all men and been at the central version of his war, but his courage equated his convictions. Courage, uninching courage, courage that knew the cruelty of the savage war, the cruelty of his character. Of this splendid yet ever scarce commodity he had an inexhaustible supply. His brawn and dexterity and daunted read more like during exploits of the gods and heroes of the mythological age than like the cold and desolate battle that some described as "Brown of Quesawatle" because at that place, with thirty men, he met a band of 1,000 Missouri rulers and seized silence, bidding that some desired to return so that part of Kansas MISS GLARA E. HENRY. The colonel was aware of his mission and expected to see him show his papers, and he was able to execute of his duty, the colonel inquired. "Have you not some warranties to prove that you are in the tall frame of Brown, armed to the teeth, courage fashing from his every fiber, and the fire of defiance blazing from his heart?" He asked, and here I have a warrant against. He knew to put his hand on Brown meant to re-verify his warrant, and that, without his prisoner, The capture of the arsenal at Harper's Bay was a horrific memory. He went not against that little been nor Virginia nor the slaveholding executive, legislative and judicial departments, its army and navy—against public life. He was and by striking the blow on the men. ROCK ISLAND, ILL There was an entertainment given at the residence of Mrs. harry Moore sat evening for the benefit of Rev. Broyles and wite.

A rare and curious mzeitographt trait of George Washington, late president of the late Lafayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass., was auctioned off last year in Boston. It is entitled "George Washington, late president of the United States of America, etc." and was published March 14, 1801, by J. Hinton Linden. It is a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as much like George III. as it does the Father of His Country, Baker, who wrote the "Engraved Portraits of the new situation brought about by the bleached flour decision when he says in a communication to the editor commenting on the bleached flour decision: "The housewife will now insist on yellow tinted or creamy flour, and will learn to realize that a natural flour very white can in no manner compare with the creamy or yellow flour in so far as glutens and muscle building values are concerned. Of the large flour mills of the country were using this bleaching process, the decoison is far-reaching."—National Food Magazine. AMERICAN SETTLERS WELCOME AND DOING WELL. The Portland Oregonian, of Portland Oregon, published a cartoon on the immigrant crisis, people to Canada, in its issue of Oregon 1908. The picture was accompanied by the following article: "Losing American Citizens. The exodus of American farmers to Canada continues to be a phenomenon of the first importance. More of them are crossing the border this fall than ever before, and they are flocking to the Middle East country. Formerly it was the Middle East alone which thus lost the heart of their partnership. Now all sections of the Union alike. The regret which we cannot help feeling over the migration of many thousands of excellent citizens has an economic side which causes some concern. The 70,000, farmers who will go to Canada to live this fall will take with them some $70,000,000 in cash and effects. This is by no means a negligible sum, and makes a very appreciable drain on our resources course, the most serious loss is the more themselves and their families, who have the land of the free and the home of the brave to dwell under the rule of a monarch. Why do they go? Naturally the cheap and fertile land of Western Canada attracts them. Each emigrant goes with a reasonable expectation of bettering his fortune. Indeed, in a few years he may grow rich through the abundant crops he can raise and increase of land values. But perhaps the increase of land values for the astonishing migration. Then a common notion abound that in Canada life and property are appreciably safer than they are here. Murders are not so frequent, and are more speedily and surely punished. Mobs and the so-called 'unwritten law' are virtually unknown in Canada. Again the law is a vastly more ascertainable entity there. Canada does not perilude to veto acts of the legislative and the judicial a statute has been enacted it is in force law of the land until it is repealed. this naturally impaarts to Canadian civilization a security and stability which we have not yet attained. "We must remember, in the same connection, that the Canadian protective tariff is far less exorbitant than ours, and much less boldly arranged for the benefit of special favorites. Hence there is an impression, very widely diffused, that the Canadians are not so wickedly robbed by the trusts as we are in this country. Reasons for these sufficiently account for the fact that we can ill afford to lose, but they do not much assuage our regret that they cannot be retained in the United States." Speaking of this, a Canadian Government representative says that the Americans who cross the border are most welcome. The splendid areas of virgin soil, a large quantity of which is given away as free homeesteads, lie close to existing railways and to those under construction. The railway lines and roads in Canada are the Canadian Pacific, the Canadian Northern and the grand Trunk Pacific. The latter is built entirely on Canadian soil, and has opened up a wonderful stretch of land. Along this line during the year about closed thousands of American settlers have made their homes. They have built the towns, and immediately began as factors in the building up of the great Canadian West. Agents of the Government are located in many cities throughout the United States who will be pleased to give any information that may be desired to further the interest of the settler. The editor suddenly became conscious that some one was standing behind him. Looking round his gaze fell upon a seedy looking individual with the eyes of a crank. "I beg your pardon," said the newcomer, "but is there an opening here for a first-class intellectual writer?" "Yes," grim y responded the editor. "An english carpenter, foreseeing your visit, has provided an excellent open ing. Turn the knob to the right, and do not slam the door as you go out." "The Sunday Magazine. Unhurdingen. "You must at least give that candidate credit for speaking his mind." "Yes," replied M.Cayenne. "But it's unfortunate that people most willing to speak their minds are so often those whose mentalities are more or less unpleasant." "I'm tired of that not-much-of-anything flavor." "I'm fond of that delicious Wrigley's Spearmint flavor."

Artists, billposter, printers, paper manufacturers and tuberculosis fighters are all united in a gigantic crusade against tuberculosis which is about to be started under the direction of the international Association for the Study and Treatment of Tuberculosis. In addition to the gifts of free space on billboards and free printing of posters made by the Associated Billposters and Distributors of America and the Poster Printers' Association, several hundred paper manufacturers have given paper for the posters to the value of several thousand dollars, and the United States are contributing steadily to free of charge. The local, state and national anti-tuberculosis associations will see that the posters are placed in cities and towns where they are most needed. The posters are nine feet long and seven feet wide and will be printed in a sufficient efficient paper is procured a million dollars. The value of these various contributions would reach fully $2,000,000 if paid for at commercial rates. In a London Omnibus A London bus driver was hailed by a clerical-looking o.d. gentleman, and on the first opportunity he remarked to the conductor: "Do you know who you've got inside, Bill? It's Cardinal Mannin'!" "Go on, that ain't Cardinal Mannin'." said the conductor, "I know im." They argued further, and when collecting fares the conductor determined to set matters right by direct inquiry. "Excuse me, sir, but are you Cardinal Mannin'?" The venerable passenger looked him coldly and boiled in the eye, and answered: "What the devil has that got to do with you?" The conductor was satisfied, but even though he was not even with the passenger. Putting his head out of the door he called up to the driver: "You are right, Bill; it was 'is' olliness." Not Her First Purchase This is a baby story they tell out at Beloit. A woman called at a dry goods store to look at some baby dresses. The clerk showed her a line valued at five dollars each, and talked volubly about "how proud" the mother ought to be over the baby. He suggested that possibly she might want a more expensive dress. But the mother did not seem to "enthuse" a bit over the clerk's gush. "How many children have you?" asked the clerk, cautiously, "this in the eleventh," she replied, carefully scanning the price tags. And out came a line of baby dresses with a more modest list of prices.—Kansas City Journal. A Double Delight "Congratulate me," said young Smith to a fellow clerk. "I'm going to get along." "Fine. Glad to hear it. But don't marry all her family." "Oh, there's only one sister—a twin," said Smith. "Look alike?" asked the other. "Can't tell 'em apart." "Well, that's rather awkward, isn't it? Well, do you know which is which?" "Well," confessed Smith, "up to date I haven't tried very hard." Taught by Experience. "So the jury returned a verdict without leaving the courtroom," said the visitor. "Yep," answered Broncho Bob. "That's the way Crimson Gu ch juries always do nowadays.

"I envy the good-natured man," said the philologist. "So do I," answered Mr. Sirius Barker. "His good nature indicates that the desirable things of life are coming his way." RESULTS OF FOOD Health and Natural Conditions Come From Right Feeding. Man, physically, should be like a perfectly regulated machine, each part is designed to appropriate place. A slight derangement causes undue friction and wear, and frequently ruins the entire system. A well-known educator of Boston found a way to keep the brain and the body in that harmonious co-operation which makes a joy of living. "Two years ago," the writes, "being in a condition of nervous exhaustion. I resigned my position as teacher, which I had held over 40 years. Since then the entire rest has, of course, been a benefit, but the use of Grape-Nuts has removed one great cause of illness in the past, namely, constipation, and its attendant evils. "I generally make my entire breakfast on a raw egg beaten into four spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, with a little hot milk or water added. Like it extremely, my food is minimally refined, and my brain power and physical condition much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuts has contributed largely to this result. "It is with feelings of gratitude that I write this testimonial, and trust it may be the means of alding others in their search for health."

The real forestry problem of the United States is in the hands of the states and individual citizens. Only a small fraction of the forest area of the country is in national forests and if America is to be saved from the fate of desolation, which has overtaken every spendthrift nation in the world's history, scientific forestry must be made the everyday practice of the people, and it must be recognized in the fundamental law of the states. Not only are beef and pork growing scarce, with prices high, but now comes word that there is a shortage in the poultry supply. One explanation is that farmers and ranch owners in the west have found it more profitable to give up their acres to wheat growing at prevailing rates than to raise cattle and chickens.

HIS OFFER NOT APPRECIATED The plump waiter girl at the lunch counter, having nothing to do at the moment, was trying to reach with her fingernails a place on her back well up between the shoulders, but with her short and chubby arms she was unequal to the task. In vain she squirmed and struggled, and twisted her face. She failed to achieve the desired connection. The elderly man on the outside of the counter, who had been fighting a piece of overdone steak, leaned forward and spoke to her in a low tone, with but intense earnestness. "My dear young woman," he said, "pardon the freedom of a man who has granddaughter almost as old as you, but if you will come a little older I shall take pleasure in scratching that spot for you, as I see that you can't quite—" "Mind your own business!" she snapped.

The skin on his back became hard and rough like the bark of a tree. He suffered from it. I found a remedy in Cucurbita Soap and Cucurbita Ointment. The result was almost magical.

WRIGLEY'S PLANS OF FAIR MEN James Nowak Heads State Association—Members Favor Erection of New Manufacturers' Building at State Fair Grounds. Des Alones, Dec. 10.—The establishment of a manufacturing building at the state fair grounds, the buying of grounds for county fairs by the county fair associations, the inauguration of separate horse shows in the various counties, the introduction of dairy shows into the regular program of the county and state fairs and the general improvement of country conditions were some of the policies advocated by the members of the State Association of Fair Managers in their annual meeting and banquet.

John Simpson, secretary of the state agricultural board, asserted that it is a mistake idea that the state fair is ruining the county fair. Instead, he declared, the state fair is encouraging the county fairs and making them more successful. Others who spoke to the members of the association were W. R. Mellor, secretary of the Nebraska department of agriculture, on "The Fair Official" film, "Tamron of Ames on "Stock Judging," and "Dinnsmore advocated the making of a uniform rating for all cattle and stock in all of the county fairs, in order that the results at the various fairs be compared.

Highway Commission Conference. Des holmes Iowa.—There will shortly be a conference between the state Conservation, Drainage and Waterways commission and member of the commission to discuss plans for the proper drainage of the roads of Iowa. Members of the Highway commission realize that the state Conservation and Drainage commission can be of inestimable value in giving suggestions for drainage in the vicinity of highways. It is a notorious fact that the roads of Iowa are about the worst in the country. "The richer the soil the poorer the roads" is an axiom that applies to the highway. The purpose of the cimmission to make an exception to this rule and make it read, "the richest soil and the best roads." In this connection members of both commissions heartily endorses the suggestion of Governor Carroll that the state build narrower roads. Secretary Dobson of the Conservation commission said recently that the suggestion would be made for a sixteen foot in diameter road. It is also suggested that the roads proper would drain. That is the great problem, the proper draining of the roads. In this state where the greatest part of the roads are on a dead level, it is almost impossible to drain them and the result is that for a portion of the year they are well nigh impassable. It is argued by those who are agitating the plan suggested that fine roads would be the better no good if the roads are so bad that he can scarcely get them to market. It is for this reason that the question of good roads in Iowa becomes an economic problem.

The Portland Oregonian, of Portland, Oregon, published a cartoon on the immigration of U. S. people to Canada, in its issue of October 5, 1909. The picture was accompanied by the following article: "Losing American Citizens. The exodus of American farmers to Canada continues to be a phenomenon of the first importance. More of them are crossing the border this fall than ever before, and they are flocking from all parts of the country. Formerly it was the Middle West alone which thus lost the heart of its citizenship. Now all sections of the Union suffer alike. The regret which we cannot help feeling over the migration of many thousands of excellent citizens has an economic side which causes some concern. The 70,000 farmers who will go to Canada to live this fall will take with them some $70,000,000 in cash and effects. This is by no means a negligible sum, and makes a very appreciable drain on our resources. But, of course, the most serious loss is the men themselves and their families, who have forsaken the land of the free and the home of the brave to dwell under the rule of a monarch. Why do they go? Naturally the cheap and fertile land of Western Canada attracts them. Each emigrant goes with a reasonable expectation of bettering his fortune. Indeed, in a few years he may grow rich through the abundant crops he can raise and the increase of land values. But perhaps that is not the sole reason for the astonishing migration. There is a common notion abroad that in Canada life and property are appreciably safer than they are here. Murders are not so frequent, and are more speedily and surely punished. Mobs and the so-called 'unwritten law' are virtually unknown in Canada. Again the law is a vastly more ascertainable entity there. Canada does not permit its judges to veto acts of the legislative body. When a statute has been enacted it is known to be the law of the land until it is repealed. this naturally imparts to Canadian civilization a security and stability which we have not yet attained. "We must remember, in the same connection, that the Canadian protective tariff is far less exorbitant than ours, and much less boldly arranged for the benefit of special favorites. Hence there is an impression, very widely diffused, that the Canadians are not so wickedly robbed by the trusts as we are in this country. Reasons like these sufficiently account for the exodus of a body of citizens, whom we can ill afford to lose, but they do not much assuage our regret that they cannot be retained in the United States." Speaking of this, a Canadian Government representative says that the Americans who cross the border are most welcome. The splendid areas of virgin soil, a large quantity of which is given away as free homesteads, lie close to existing railways and to those under construction. The railway lines that are assisting in this development are the Canadian Pacific, the Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific. The latter is built entirely on Canadian soil, and has opened up a wonderful stretch of land. Along this line during the year about closed thousands of American settlers have made their homes. They have built the towns, and immediately began as factors in the building up of the great Canadian West. Agents of the Government are located in various cities throughout the United States who will be pleased to give any information that may be desired to further the interest of the settler.

After reaching the age of forty the human system gradually declines. The accumulated poisons in the blood cause rheumatic pains in the joints, muscles and back. These warnings should be promptly relieved and serious illness avoided by using the following prescription which shows wonderful results even after the first few doses and it will eventually restore physical strength. "One ounce compound syrup of Sarsaparilla, one ounce Toris compound, half pint of high grade whiskey. This to be mixed and used in tablespoonful doses before each meal and at bedtime. The bottle to be well shaken each time." Any druggist has these ingredients or can get them from his wholesale house. May Paste Million Posters. Artists, billposters, printers, paper manufacturers and tuberculosis fighters are all united in a gigantic crusade against tuberculosis which is about to be started under the direction of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In addition to the gifts of free space on billboards and free printing of posters made by the Associated Billposters and Distributors of America and the Poster Printers' Association, several hundred paper manufacturers have given paper for the posters to the value of several thousand dollars, and artists from all over the United States are contributing sketches for posters, free of charge. The local, state and national anti-tuberculosis associations will see that the posters are placed in cities and towns where they are most needed. The posters are nine feet long and seven feet wide and will be printed in several colors. If sufficient paper is procured a million will be pasted up. The value of these various contributions would reach fully $2,000,000 if paid for at commercial rates. In a London Omnibus. A London 'bus driver was hailed by a clerical-looking o.d gentleman, and on the first opportunity he remarked to the conductor: "Do you know who you've got inside, Bill? It's Cardinal Mannin'!" "Go on, that ain't Cardinal Mannin'!" said the conductor, "I know 'im.' They argued further, and finally bet a shilling over it. When collecting fares the conductor determined to set matters right by direct Inquiry, "Excuse me, sir, but are you Cardinal Mannin'?" The venerable passenger looked him coldly and bodily in the eye, and answered: "What the devil has that got to do with you?" The conductor was satisfied, but even at the sacrifice of a bob he had to get even with the passenger. Putting his head out of the door he called up to the driver: "You are right, Bill; it was 'is olliness.' Not Her First Purchase This is a baby story they tell out at Beloit: A woman called at a dry goods store to look at some baby dresses. The clerk showed her a line valued at five dollars each, and talked volubly about "how proud" the mother ought to be over the baby. He suggested that possibly she might want a more expensive dress. But the mother did not seem to "enthuse" a bit over the clerk's gush. "How many children have you?" asked the clerk, cautiously. "Oh, this is the eleventh," she replied, carefully scanning the price tags. And out came a line of baby dresses with a more modest list of prices.—Kansas City Journal. A Double Delight. "Congratulate me," said young Smith to a fellow clerk. "I'm going to get married." "Fine. Glad to hear it. But don't marry all her family." "Oh, there's only one sister—a twin," said Smith. "Look allike?" asked the other. "Can't tell 'em apart." "Well, that's rather awkward, isn't it? How do you know which is which?" "Well," confessed Smith. "up to date I haven't tried very hard." Taught by Experience. "So the jury returned a verdict without leaving the courtroom," said the visitor. "Yep," answered Broncho Bob. "That's the way Crimson Gu ch juries always do nowadays.

RESULTS OF FOOD Health and Natural Conditions Come From Right Feeding. Man, physically, should be like a perfectly regulated machine, each part working easily in its appropriate place. A slight derangement causes undue friction and wear, and frequently ruins the entire system. A well-known educator of Boston found a way to keep the brain and the body in that harmonious co-operation which makes a joy of living. "Two years ago," the writes, "being in a condition of nervous exhaustion. I resigned my position as teacher, which I had held over 40 years. Since then the entire rest has, of course, been a benefit, but the use of Grape-Nuts has removed one great cause of illness in the past, namely, constipation, and its attendant evils. "I generally make my entire breakfast on a raw egg beaten into four spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, with a little hot milk or hot water added. I like it extremely, my food assimilates, and my bowels take care of themselves. I find my brain power and physical condition much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuts has contributed largely to this result. "It is with feelings of gratitude that I write this testimonial, and trust it may be the means of aiding others in their search for health."

ASSOCIATION ELECTS OFFICERS More Prizes Awarded—First and Second Premium Corn to Be Sold at Auction—Big Crowd Expected at Dance. Des Moines, Dec. 10.—J. J. Proudft of Altoona who won the prize for the best ten ears of corn in the state, has also received the award for the best bushel of corn grown in the state this year. J. F. C. Finnell, who has carried away several smaller prizes at the exposition, was awarded the grand champion sweepstakes for the best amateur twenty-five ears of corn grown in Iowa.

Many club women of Des Moines attended the corn exposition. Papers were read by Miss Lura Phillips of Ames, Mrs. B. F. Carroll of Des Moines Mrs. Hattie Moore-Mitchell of Des Moines, Mrs Eugene Davenport of Urbana, ill., and Mrs. Effie Jones of Waterloo. Prcf. P. G. Holden of Ames, "father of the seed corn trains" declared that corn growers who have last year's corn in their crisbs should select their seed corn from it instead of using this year's product, most of which was frozen. "The seed corn of this state has never been in such danger as it is this year," said Professor Holden. "The crop next year will be small unless the farmers use old corn for seed."

The game was the occasion for the coming together of the prominent and fashionable people of Washington and nearby cities. Philadelphiaians were there in large numbers to urge the Keystone boys on to victory. Large crowds were present from Baltimore, and they were for Howard all the time. Richmond, Va., sent up her quota of beautiful girls, and they were divided in their allegiance, some cheering for the White and Blue others for the Yellow. Washingtonians were, as a matter of course, loyal to their local boys. Automobiles, tailbys, landaus, motorcycles and many other up to date vehicles brought the spectators, who awarded around the ropes and filled the grand stand. They were all college men and college women, college students, and people upon that field, and they had the enthusiasm of the occasion as only a college bred person can have. College songs and yells rent the air. The sweet voices of the girls singing some inspiring college songs contrasted boldly with the heavy "lah, rah, rub!" of the music augmented by the music of Howard's band, which was very much in evidence throughout the game. The game in detail was as follows: First Half.-The toss was won by Lincoln, and Captain Ellis selected the north goal. The first half was marked by line plunging and kicking. Barco, Terry and Gray were much in evidence for the Howard team. Near the close of this half Terry caught a punted ball on quarterback and seasonally yard run for a touchdown. The empire called him out of bounds on the twenty-five yard line. Second Half.-J. B. Brown supplanted Barco at quarter, and "Big Jack" went in in place of Durrah. After a series of brilliant plays on both sides Howard got the ball far down into Lincoln's territory. To add to her woes Lincoln was at this time penalized, losing thirty yards. J. B., the plucky quarter, saw aided by super called performance went over for a touchdown. Kick for goal failed. Score, to 0 in favor of Howard. Lincoln played with tenacity to win, but Howard by steady advances carried the ball down toward Lincoln's goal. Both teams were penalized. Time was called with the teams exchanging punts.

In the rounding out of the plan a wedge will be formed by a nation under the will of the United States, which will prevent the expansion territority or commercially of Germany and will make the United States a factor in the balance of power among the nations of Europe now strunging to retain and enlarge their footholds in Africa. WORKER IN MANY FIELDS. Mra. Treadwell Well Informed on the Achievements of the Race. Achievements of the Race One of the most active writers for the race, Mrs. Trendwell, was another literature published by Afro-Americans is Mrs. E. Cetessia Trendwell of New York. She is a native of Virginia and came to New York several years ago. Unlike many of our young folks who come north, Mrs. Trendwell immediately allied herself with the church, secret and benevolent societies and literary organizations, in many of which as a member she was a strong supporter of the order to keep abreast of the times and to know of the men and women of the race who have been successful in literature as well as in religion and business Mrs. Trendwell became agent for several publishing and mercellant concerns. For a number of years she made a study of the books, magazines and papers written and published by Afro-Americans and built up a large library of books and mercellant city she is well known as an ardent worker. She is also known as an amateur dramatist and has sung in one of the leading church choirs. It MRS. E. CELESTIA TREADWELL. was her good fortune last July to go abroad for three months. She visited Liverpool, London, Clapton, Oxford, Brussels, Antwerp and many other leading cities of the continent. Mrs. Treadwell is a prominent member of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers and was one of the pioneer workers for the establishment of the Young Women's Christian association on West Fifty-third street, New York, a few years ago. WE ARE LOYAL CITIZENS. Richmond Mecca of Negro Thrift and Industry, Davis Davis. D. Webster Davis in responding to President Obama's call for an Afro-American legacy at Richmond, Va. recently said; "We are loyal citizens of our commonwealth. We love every rock and rill of our dear old state. Our white citizens after the war came home broken in health and fortune, but along with the education of their children, poor as they were, they willingly gave of their means out of the lack of their land, of the slavery and have continued to do so since. It is strange indeed that this capital of the Confederacy has become the Mecca of the Negro race, and we are actually accomplishing more here than in any city in the south. We represent $3,000,000 in tax money, four banks and many business enterprises. We have done this because we are white citizens and because we have faith in them, faith in ourselves, faith in God and faith in our president." Thanksgiving week at Zion Church. The Jackson Memorial Zion church at Hempstead, N. Y. held special religious and literary exercises during Thanksgiving week, which attracted large crowds nightly. The Rev. R. H. Otterly, pastor of the church, is one of the most eugenic ministers of his domination in Greater New York and is doing a lot among our people. He is also inserted in other lines of work for the benefit of the race and has a large circle of friends, from which he receives much encouragement.

Valuable Collection Made by an Afro-American of Savannah, Ga., Who is an Authority on Rare Furniture and Relics of Various Kinds—has Two of Sherman's Officers' Swords. Engaged in a class of business which is an exceptional vacation for an Afro-American, Mr. K. B. B. Brooks of Savannah, Ga., enjoys the distinction of being an expert on antique managogy furniture and reflex of various descriptions. He owns and manages an antique shop that is valued at thousands of dollars. He is a frequent tourist from all sections of the country. He is an expert upholster, cabinet maker and an authority on Chippeake, Heppweite and colonial fur A. B. nulture. Savannah affords many attractions for tourists, but the shop of this Afro-American proves by its valuable relics to be among the interesting novelties of the city and is considered by hunters of curios to be a free museum. Among the varied articles of high value, because of their history, will be found an original bill of sale of a large number of slaves sold during the year 1701, a unique collection of various costumes and artifacts of the sixteenth century, a gold coin of 25 cents denomination and a coin called the "wildow's uite" half a million dollars of which was exchanged for slaves in the southern states, and a plate used by the Confederate government for making paper money of various denominations. When General Sherman left his encampment, near the present site of the Catholic cemetery, Savannah, his officers left two swords, which, with a cannon ball, are now in the possession of Mr. Brooks. He has a piece of the oak tree known as "John Wesley oak," in the suburbs of Savannah, under which the parent of Methodism preached his first sermon" in this country. Quite a large sum of money has been offered him for his rare collections of stamps, letters and Mexican war reliefs. He has for sale a set of pitchers, some having been made for kings, that are worth more than $550. He has newspapers that were used in the early efforts in America, and among them will be found a copy of the New York Herald, extra edition, 7:10 a.m. New York 15, 1865, announcing the death of the illustrious Lincoln. A pair of scales were dug out of sixty-seven feet of earth at Milledgeville, Ga. One of the Roosevelt family's heirlooms is in his possession, which is a cup owned by Miss Louisa Bullock, which was the property of her grandfather, who is the great-grandfather of ex-President Roosevelt. It is interesting to look at the sperm oil lamp made in Italy the early part of the seventeenth century and the various swords, jewelry, Sheilfeld plate, novelties of kindness, and the heir for display. He bears the distinction of owning the first automobile of French make ever run in the city of Savannah, which is still in perfect running order. It will take hours for one to make note of the hundreds of rolls and history attached to the many pieces of furniture in Mr. Brooks' establishment. He is interested in a number of reputable Afro-American financial institutions and believes in preserving the uniqueness of American in the country doing this class of business upon an extensive hauls and selling from his catalogue and making exhibits in cities like New York and Boston. he is another concrete example of what native ability will do if properly directed.

THIS ORIGINAL HAIR GROWER We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours with PORO TRADE MARK REGISTERED.

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 theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO.
