MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS NOV1914 IN MEMORIAM. With tears of regret, we attempt, to write with respect, the sad impression that the sudder death of our friend William Walls bestowed upon us, when the recording Angel turned the leaves of the Great book to the page that bore the record of his long lived life. It revealed to his supreme recollection, that it was called day, and the soul was to be called from this world, back to the God that gave it. Well may we weep for our departed friend, and sympatize for his dear one. No more will we hear his friendly voice again. No more will we receive the manly guidance he once gave us, which enabled us to walk successfully through life so far. He was used to the intimacy of the rich and the poor, and was always at the service of his coworkers, and was a person high enough enough up in authority and influence to prevent, and lessen the terrible suffering of his people. He was a man that tried to do his duty to his family, and to the great and Grand Masonic lodge of which he was a member, and an honored one. Little incidents in the past life, may be called to many a reader's mind. But, whether in that Great book a blot, gets over a fellow's name or not, and when he does a deed that is white. It's always recorded just and right. He was a man under whom some labored for years and we only give him due respect, when we say he was our daily friend. For years he has worked for the Bartee Tie Company as inspector, and the thousands, and thousands of dollars that passed through his hands successfully, proud his integrity, obedience, respectfulness and last but not least his honesty. May the life he has led and the obstacles, he has overcome be a guiding light to his associates that he has left behind and may the recording angel write success over the name of our dear friend and peace abide with him through out eternity. May God have mercy on his beloved wife, and be with her through her trials that her last days may be her best, and with tears we tender this as a missive of regret. DISCUSS NEGRO QUESTION. Pittsburgh, Oct. 24-Among the speakers at the convention of the Afro-American League of Western Pennsylvania were President Van Bittner, of the United Mine Workers, and A. F. of L. Organizer Lewis. The unionists and the delegates discussed ways to bring the negro in closer contact with the labor unions. The convention passed resolutions calling upon school authorities to cause a better enforcement of the compulsory education law as applied to negro children. Dear Editor: please allow me a little space to say to you, that I have been on the field very busy ever since I left you in Mt. Vernon, in that great state Missionary Baptist Association of the state of Illinois, which was organized in the Corrinthian Baptist church, on the 25tn of Oct. 1914. I was in Cape Girardeau, Mo. with Rev. W. C. Cole, pastor of the second Baptist church in a big financial rally which had been on for two months, preached two sermon, church full of life. Total money raised that day $510 73. Rev. Cole has a good church over there, and a sled did choir with Mrs. Starks, organist. I will be in Vienna, Ill. the 1st Sunday in November, at the 1st Baptist church and Mt. Taborn in Sandusky, Ill. the 2nd Sunday in Nov. I am yours in his name for the work. J. H. Knowles, Missionary.

Sick Women Attention Is it possible there is a woman in this country who continues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial after all the evidence that is continually being published, which proves beyond contradiction that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffering among women than any other one medicine in the world? We have published in the newspapers of the United States more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been published in the interest of any other medicine for women—and every year we publish many new testimonials, all genuine and true. Here are three never before published: From Mrs. S. T. Richmond, Providence, R. I. PROVIDENCE, R.I.—"For the benefit of women who suffer as I have done I wish to state what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I did some heavy lifting and the doctor said it caused a displacement.

With Human Companion and Miscel laneous Collection of Fish She Shot Annette Kellerman tells an interesting story of the accident that occurred in Bermuda when the production of "Neptune's Daughter" was being photographed. "I wouldn't go through that experience again for anything short of an absolute certainty that I would come out a perfect Sarah Bernhardt," Miss Kellerman says. "Herbert Brenon, the director, and I were in that enormous glass enclosure with an octopus, a baby shark, lobsters, and tropical fish. He took the part of one of my enemies in the play who tried to kill me, and we were struggling like mad in the water. The photographers outside were operating their machines at full speed. We would work under water, and then swim up and begin speaking lines. I remember coming up almost out of breath and shouting, "Oh, Katherine is dead!" Then, in an aslide, "Oh, Mr. Brenon, of those lobsters is sticking me in the back; do hurry." "Keep up your courage, we'll soon be through,' he replied. "The next moment there was a noise like the report of a cannon. The water pressure had torn a hole in one end of the tank, and we started in that direction at a mile a second. You must keep your feet, I thought to myself. I straightened up and dived forward, preceded by Mr. Brenon. He behaved like a hero. He shot through that awful, jagged opening first, carrying with him a shower of glass splinters. This saved me, of course. My instep was terribly injured, but he was cut in 100 places about the arms and legs. Behind us came the octopus and the whole tankful of fish. It seems absurd, but the first thing Mr. Brenon and I said the moment we could get breath enough to say anything was, 'Is the picture ruined?' POPULAR NOVEL IN PICTURES Harold MacGrath's "Hearts and Masks" is Produced, With Remarkably Strong Cast. Harold MacGrath never wrote a more interesting story than "Hearts and Masks." It has been read by many thousands and has been thoroughly enjoyed. A production has SELIO POLYSCOPE CO. been made of "Hearts and Masks," with Kathlyn Williams in the leading role; Charles Clary, Wheeler Oakman, Fred Huntly and other stars depicting other personalities in the well-known story. It is a most exciting picture and holds the interest of the spectator from beginning to end without a break. The picture is in three reels and is full of "punch" all the way through. Part Suits Her. Mabel Trunnelle is well known and admired among the motion-picture fans for her portrayals of the young girls in the Edison films. She, however, had never played the role of a Japanese girl when she learned that her part in the film, "Greater Love Hath No Man," by Mary Imlay Taylor, would be that of a Japanese maiden. Miss Trunnelle was delighted, because she had previously depicted practically every other character. She became deeply interested and spent every spare moment in embroidering a pretty Japanese gown. Returns to Picture Game Announcement is made that David H. Thompson is to appear in moving pictures again. A year ago a leading company decided that it needed some one to handle its "extra" people and cast the pictures, so Mr. Thompson was selected because of his good judgment of actors and general knowledge of the business. PICTURE SURE TO MAKE HIT Written and Produced by Tom Mix, Popular Actor, Has Part Which Just Suits Him. Tom Mix has fairly outdone himself in the picture. "The Way of the Red Man," which was written and produced by him. It is full of life and action such as only Tom Mix can introduce. There is wrestling, shooting, riding, canoeing, etc., in Tom Mix's own best style. The story is of a red-man, a civilized Indian, who takes into his home a wounded gambler, shot while escaping the sheriff. The gambler has no honor and wins SELIG POLYSCOPE CO. the affections of Bounding Fawn, the red man's pretty squaw. The Indian discovers the gambler's treachery, and throws him, together with Bounding Fawn, out of the cabin. The years pass. Bounding Fawn is cruelly slain by her drunken lover. The red man goes to the rescue, but arrives too late. He makes a prisoner of the drunken gambler, and ties him to a stake for torture. The closing scene shows vividly the typical Indian revenge, which the red man exacted, the forfeit being the life of the treacherous gambler. Likes Railroad Atmosphere. While it is the dream of thousands of girls to appear in motion-picture dramas, wear gorgeous gowns and play society dames in general, there is one photoplay star who would rather jump into a pair of tattered overalls and climb into the oily cab of a locomotive than take part in the most intense society drama ever written. This unusual person is Helen Holmes, the actress whom the railroad men out West have dubbed "The Daughter of the Railroad." Miss Holmes doesn't care what role she portrays—telegraph operator, fireman (or should it be firegirl?), or substitute engineer, so long as it enables her to live in the atmosphere of the railroad. The most recent drama in which she appears is "Grouch, the Engineer," in which she enacts the role of a railroad man's widow. A railroad serial story is being written around Miss Holmes, which will be called "The Hazards of Helen," and will consist of episodes, each complete in itself, showing the hazards encountered by Helen, who is a railroad telegrapher. Has Played Many Parts. In Lee Willard, a handsome chap of fine physique, G. M. Anderson has a valuable and versatile assistant for the western productions. Willard has been cast at different times as a half-breed and has played "heavy" and character parts in drama and comedies. He is a lover of animals and outdoor sports and seldom misses a day in taking a long horseback ride on his favorite bay mare, always accompanied by a pet collie. Willard enjoys his evenings and Sundays with a pretty wife and baby, surrounded by volumes of good books in one of the bungalows at Niles. Actress a Glutton for Work Cleo Madison has recovered from her tired spell and never looked better, which is a wonder when one considers that she has been rescued from fire and water, been swung from a big crane, and, goodness knows what else. The amount of work this energetic lady gets into 12 hours is quite remarkable, but she still refuses to shirk either the labor or any of the risks. Carlyle Blackwell Well Supported. Carlyle Blackwell has turned out a good picture in "The Key to Yesterday," and his acting throughout is splendid. He has been well served by his support, too, and Edna Mayo, Ollie Kirby, Gypsy Abbott, J. Francis Dillon, William Brunton, and William Sheehan have all done excellent work. Miss Stella Razeto, leading lady of Director E. J. LeSaint's dramatic company, studio, is at work in a special production called "Reparation." The role demands much artistic work of exacting character from Miss Razeto, whose successes in such cases are too well-known to dwell upon.

"I understand Smith has got a simple and effective system of betting on the races." "Yes. He always bets all he's got on the first race." "Oh, then he goes home—disgust ed." Not Needed. Two college students were arraigned before the magistrate, charged with hurdling the low spots in the road in their motor car. "Have you a lawyer?" asked the magistrate. "We're not going to have any lawyer," answered the elder of the students. "We've decided to tell the truth." Heavy pasturing concerned. Heavy pasturing of alfalfa is not advised. The number of animals per acre should be so regulated that two or three small cuttings of hay may be taken from the field. This is necessary to insure tender green growth for grazing. When little buds begin to shoot at the base of the stalk the alfalfa should be cut. In a very few days a fresh new growth makes its appearance. Overpasturing, without occasional cutting, also tends to injure the crowns of the plant and eventually destroys the stand. Watermen and Uniforms. Watermen—who were also firemen—enjoy the distinction of being the first public servants who ever wore a uniform. "Long before our army and navy adopted any distinguishing garb," writes Mr. Guy Nickalls, "Thames watermen were known by their uniform and badge, a plaited coat, knee breeches and stockings and hat, according to fashion, but always a plate on the arm, either of the Waterman's hall to denote that they had the freedom of the river and were licensed, or the badge of their employer. Any person rowing or working any boat, wherry or other vessel, who had not served seven years as apprentice, incurred a penalty of $50."—London Chronicle Stenegrapher Says It Was Not Difficult to Follow Remarks of "Uncle Joe." "Sometimes a man gets a reputation that is undeserved," said Sam Gray, a member of the stenographic corps of the house of representatives, at the Willard, according to the Washington Post. "It happened to me a few years ago when I was traveling with former Speaker Cannon in a political campaign. 'Uncle Joe' made a lot of speeches in that particular campaign, and I was there to make a stenographic report and transcript of them. In one western city the speaker was talking to a tremendous crowd of people, when suddenly, without warning, the electric lights went out, leaving the house in total darkness. "For fifteen minutes, perhaps, the speaker talked on in the darkness. It was up to me, of course, to make a report of his speech, and I did. Naturally, I had to feel my way, and I made my notes unusually large, so I would have no trouble in reading them. When the lights were restored I was right there with the speaker, and made an accurate transcript of his speech. Some of the newspaper boys heard of the story and published it as a marvelous feat. "The fact is, it was not at all difficult to follow the former speaker. He is not a rapid talker, and I had no trouble in taking his remarks." Not That. "Y' say your wife is rusticating?" "Hardly that. I could rusticate on $15 a week easy, but it costs her $75." The Right Thing. He—In what month were you born? She—Oh, you needn't be afraid. The diamond is appropriate.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The fifty-second anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation by Abraham Lincoln, September 22, 1862, was observed by the National Emancipation Commemorative society with appropriate exercises at Washington, with Representative Simeon D. Fess of Ohio as principal speaker. Mr. Fess spoke on "Abraham Lincoln, the Ideal American," the man who had made his way to the front by pluck and determination, and by keeping his conscience right with God. "Lincoln and Horace Mann," said the speaker, "are two characters in American history that the youth of our country would do well to emulate." Miss Ethel Robinson read an original poem on "A Half Century of Freedom." T. Thomas Fortune congratulated the commemorative society for having selected the 27th of September for annual observance in memory of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation. Judge Robert H. Terrell reminded the colored people that there is always a sentiment of fair play in the bosom of the American people and that they never fail when they have a just cause properly presented. Rev. William Wallace McCary held that a greater knowledge of the Bible is the need of American educational system. Judson W. Lyons, former register of the treasury, would have Lincoln better studied by American youth. Rev. Arthur Randall, pastor of People's Congregational church, spoke of Professor Pickens of Talladega college, Alabama, as the black Abraham Lincoln. The committee on national exposition of colored Americans to be in this city reported it was trying to select the proper site for the exposition, and that cooperation from every section of the country has been promised. The Indiana state convention of Federated Colored Clubs closed a successful meeting at the Colored Y. M. C. A. building at Indianapolis with the election of the following officers: Mrs Gertrude B. Hill, Indianapolis, president; Mrs. Mayme Russell, Wabash first vice-president; Mrs. Adalene Simms, Indianapolis, second vice-president; Mrs. Maud Herring, Crawfordsville, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Jessie Wade, South Bend, recording secretary; Mrs. Anna Julius, Marion, treasurer; Mrs. Minnie Kunx, Muncie, state organizer. Following her election, the president announced the appointive offices, which showed few changes. Mrs. Emma Hickman of South Bend, who has been state organizer nine years, was appointed chairman of the executive committee. The final reports showed 97 clubs in the federation, with a total membership of 1,568 women. Seventy-two delegates and 21 state officers were in attendance. The money subscribed During the last year was $1,448. The next convention will be held in Connerville. Talking machine records made by photography will be the next development in the reproduction of sound. Invented by a Russian named Lifschitz, a new machine has been made which, it is said, reproduces music and sounds of any kind with perfect clearness, without any rasping or scraping defects. Booker Washington, once said a visitor to the Tuskegee institute, is a man of good judgment and rare caution. It is related that at one time when the Southern states were legislating against the negroes, practically disfranchising them all over the South, Mr. Washington, who was in New York, was approached by representatives from all the newspapers of the city to get his opinion. His only answer was, "When I talk about Southern conditions I talk in the South." When we attend evening devotions, which are conducted by the principal, we are disappointed in not hearing this earnest man give a talk to the students, but we do near music that we will not soon forget, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," with full orchestra and more than seventeen hundred mellow noxo voices. Afterwards a number of plantation melodies, the folk lore of the race, are sung without accompaniment. The cost of replacing with steel cars all the passenger cars in use on the railroads of the United States is estimated at more than $600,000,000. In the calendar of old Rome the fifteenth day of the month of March, May, July and October, and the thirteenth day of the rest of the months were known asides. In old Roman writings one hears of the "ides of March," which is a poetic way to express the date. It is said that 100,000 canaries are kept in Paris apartments and that it costs $2,000 a day to supply them with chickweed alone. They also consume large quantities of lettuce, hemp and other seeds. That the higher education of the negro has not been a failure in furnishing opportunities for success may be illustrated by three concrete examples here in Chicago. First there is a brown-skinned lawyer, with a clientele almost exclusively white, who stands at the head of his profession. He began life a poor boy, worked his way through college, and when he was examined for admission to the bar was obliged to button his shabby overcoat close to his person in order to hide the ragged and tattered suit he wore. Today he is said to be worth $1,000,000 in real estate, stocks and bonds, and has an income of $30,000 per annum from his practice alone. He has recently returned from a tour around the world, and states that only in his native land has he ever suffered any indignity on account of his color. A colored dentist who is considered one of the leaders in his profession has an income of from $12,000 to $15,000 per year. He numbers among his patrons some of the most exclusive white families in the city. He is the only colored member of the Illinois State Dental association and was at one time elected president of the organization. The most famous colored surgeon in the world lives in Chicago. His greatest fame rests upon the fact that he was the first surgeon in all the world to operate successfully on the living human heart. He is the founder of Provident hospital and Training school and is now on the staff of St. Luke's hospital. He has gained wealth as well as fame, for his fortune runs into six figures. I could give hundreds of instances where colored men have made good in the professions.—Rev. A. J. Carey. The work for girls at Hampton institute leads to the important occupations of homemaking and teaching. When a girl enters Hampton institute she has the opportunity of receiving thorough training in domestic science. The girls work daily, for 12 months in the laundry and in the boarding departments under the supervision of experienced teachers, and carry on their academic studies in the evening the same as the boys who are in the work class. The mental and moral training that the year of combined work and study gives makes it one of the most valuable years of the course. The working day for the girls is shorter than for the boys, but a girl may earn from $15 to $18 a month. This enables her to be entirely self-supporting during her first year in school and to accumulate a balance toward defraying the expenses of the second year. A girl in the work class needs very little money besides her entrance fee and first month's board. The course is advised for all new girls regardless of their ability to pay their way in the day school. Throughout their course at Hampton institute, negro and Indian girls are taught the elements of arithmetic, English, agriculture, history, as well as scientific housekeeping, physiology, cooking and sewing, and the principles of teaching. Hampton aims to fit girls for useful living wherever they may happen to be thrown. Jamaica has been keeping a record of all incoming letters having shortage in postage and found that the United States was the chief offender in this respect. Tuskegee institute has 182 teachers, heads of departments, secretaries and clerks; between 1,700 and 1,800 students, not including 300 in the training school; and a large enough enrollment in the summer school to bring the number who receive instruction here during the year to more than 2,500.

American Girl Surely Had Reason for Complaint Against Impertinence of Accoster. You remember how in the piping days of peace, when something simply had to be done to make talk, there was a hue and cry about American girls in Berlin and the dreadful things they did under pretence of studying music. Here is a story of one of them which the New York Evening Post Saturday Magazine's special war correspondent has sent over with the explanation that it was all he could get past the censor at this time. A Berlin paper reports that a quiet street in Charlottenburg was suddenly alarmed by shrill cries of "Police! Police!" A great crowd promptly collected about the person responsible for the disturbance, an excited young woman, obviously American. "Arrest this man, officer," she said as soon as a policeman appeared. "I am Miss Ellington from Cincinnati, U. S. A., and he had the impertinence to speak to me." The policeman, guided by the young woman's accusing finger, picked out the culprit. "The man is a stranger to you?" he asked. "An entire stranger," replied Miss Ellington. "I have only been taking violin lessons from him for six months."

After they had greeted they did under pretense of studying each other, Gifford said: "Say, Will, I heard today that your son, Thomas, was an undertaker. I thought you told me he was a physician." "Oh, no," replied Hall, positively, "I never told you that." "I don't like to contradict you, old friend," insisted Gifford, "but, really, I'm positive you did say so." "No, you probably misunderstood me." explained Hall, "I told you he followed the medical profession."—Exchange.

Mr. Louis Bell, the electrical illuminating expert, and Dr. F. H. Verhoeff, an eye specialist, have published in Science their opinion that the alleged dangers to the eye from ultraviolet radiation of sunlight and various artificial lights amount to nothing at all. They admit that there have been many "sensational attacks" upon modern illuminants as dangerous by reason of injurious effects of ultraviolet or actinic rays, but these have "entirely neglected any quantitative relation between the radiation and its supposed pathological effects." Very little of these rays can penetrate the cornea, and the crystalline lens cuts off completely those that struggle through toward the retina. Protective glasses are useful only, they conclude, in cutting off dazzling lights and undue heat. Przemysl.

That Jewish immigrants have so well adapted themselves to local conditions in Jerusalem as to "practically monopolize a greater part of such trade as exists" is stated in a consular report on Jerusalem. It is impossible to give an exact estimate of the population of Jerusalem, and although it is believed that it figures at 110,000, 95,000 might perhaps be a more correct estimate. It is, roughly speaking, composed of 13,000 Christians, 12,000 Mohammedans and 70,000 Jews, many of whom are immigrants from Russia. It is remarked that in spite of the emigration of many Jews to escape military service there has still been a marked increase in this section of the population on account of the continuous influx of aged Jews, who come with the intention of ending their days in Palestine.

(From the New age, Cal) Arrest of Frederick August Wintes, police officer, for contributing to the delinquency of Juanita Nelson. makes public one of the most startling cases of revolting features in the history of the city. Juanita Nelson is a race girl of barely 18 years old. She is the mother of a child over a year old, the acknowleged father of which is Winters, a Caucasian of 32 years of age, an ex-fireman of the city department ```markdown ``` and member of the L.A. Police Force when arrested by Deputy Sherriffs Gillis and McKay. Detective Stevens was immediately detailed by Chief Substant to investigate the case and the facts unearthed are astounding Winter, while a fireman, saw the girl upon a street car in 1912 and began flirting with her, obtaining her address. They continued to the end of the line, and many other rides and meetings occured at a Los Angeles Street lodging house, although Juanita Felson was then, to his knowledge a ward in the Juvenile Court. Their liaison continued until the girl was expecting to become a mother as a result of their illicit relation. Winter urged a criminal operation, but she refused, fearing the result, and finally was taken to the hospital where the child was born September 21, 1913. Winter had never given his victim either his real name or address and although she described him and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest he was never found Ebon-hued Juanita Nelson, child mother of an almost white baby, was given a home with an elderly Mrs Anderson, at 1455 E Twenty third Street. Last Saturday at Seventh and Main Street they met—Juanita Nelson and Frederick Winter, the white father of her illigitimate child. He was glad to see her, stood and talked, asked for and wrote in his note book her address and phone number. She told him of the child and asked what he would do for its support. They parted, she returning home with his promise to telephone her at 2. P. M. Arrived home, Juanita told Mrs. Anderson she had seen the child's father. Soon the phone rang; he was on the wire. "Ase you alone," he asked. The old woman prompted her to-answer "yes," Then he would come out and in a few minutes Winters was there. He greeted the girl affectionately, played with the baby and gave it two dollars. His former lust returned; he made improper proposals. Mrs. Anderson had meanwhile phoned the sheriffs office and two deputies motored to the address. One entered the front the other the rear door, catching Winters as he tried to escape. They obtained shocking evidence of his parlor-attempt. At first Winters claimed he had never seen Juanita Nelson, until she called him in as he was passing; he gave a fictitious name. Then, winking at the officers, claimed he was there on police duty as they were. At police headquarters he made a confession, admitting the facts as alledged by the girl. Since he has made a clean breast of the whole matter and offers to support the mother and child by a monthly payment of $15. He wished to marry Juanita Nelson, but is prevented by the State law. R.
