HEIRESS WEDS PHYSICIAN Historic St. Philip's Episcopal Church Crowded for the Impressive Ceremony—Reception at Villa Lewaro. (Special to The Monitor.) Irvington-on-Hudson, N. Y., Dec. 7. At high noon Saturday, November 24, Miss Mae Walker Robinson, grand-daughter of the famous Madam C. J. Walker, who started life as a laundress and left a million dollar estate after inventing a wonderful hair treatment was married to Dr. H. Gordon Jackson of Chicago in St. Philip's Episcopal church which was crowded to the doors with a congregation of nearly 2,000 guests while hundreds were unable to gain admission. The wedding was one of the most magnificient and largest attended affairs ever given in New York City. Gorgeous decorations, rich gowns and jewels such as seldom have been seen made the interior of the handsome church edifice with its beautiful and brilliantly lighted white marble altar a striking setting for the ceremony which was that of Episcopal Book of Common Praver. At the appointed hour the vested choir in processional passed up the aisle, and following it, to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, came the bridal party and took their position facing the altar with its beautiful floral decorations. Miss Robinson was supported on the arm of Attorney F. B. Ransom, manager of the Madam Walker company, who gave her away. The marriage was solemnized by the Rev. Father Hutcings C. Bishop, D. D., rector of the parish, assisted by his son, the Rev. Shelton Bishop. During the reading of the lines Prof. Paul Bolin, organist, softly rendered organ selections. After the blessing a beautiful old marriage hymn was sung by the choir. The bridal party retired to the strains of Mendelsohn's Wedding March. A reception followed at the beautiful Villa Lewaro which Madam Walker erected at a cost of $250,000, the architect, landscape gardener and contractor being colored. The bide's dress was a simple, yet magnificent creation, which drew gasps of admiration from the audience. Simply beautiful is inadequate to completely describe her costume for it was both simple and beautiful. It was of white chiffon adorned with an all-over design of genuine imported sea pearls over bride's satin, a tulle veil attached to an Egyptian head dress purchased by her mother on a recent trip to the Holy Land, caught with orange blossoms which gracefully fell to form a ten-foot train. She wore brocaded silver slippers; no jewelry save a diamond brooch, the gift of the groom, and carried a large bouquet of bride's roses showered with ribbons and lilies of the valley. The matron of honor, Mrs. Norman Harris, nee Katie Wilson of Washington, D. C., was charming in a simple straight line gown of silver cloth wearing a dainty chiffon picture hat and carrying a shepherd's staff of butterfly roses. Typical of the good judgment of the bride was her selection of her maid of honor and her bride's maids. Her maid of honor was Miss Consuela Street of Indianapolis, Ind., and her bride's maids were the Misses Louise Jackson, Eunice Hunton, Marion Moore, Mildred Randolph of New York City and Miss Anita Thompson of Los Angeles, Cal. They were traditionally lovely in bouffant gowns of cream colored pure chantilly lace over silver cloth, appropriately trimmed with ropes of oranges blossoms. Coronets of braided silver cloth graced their Egyptian hair dress. They wore brocaded silver slippers and carried ivory-bound Episcopal prayer books. A'Lelia Emma Ransom of Indianapolis, Ind., Berry Payton and Katherine Farm Filliams of New York City were petite and pretty flower girls, daintily clad in fluted ruffled dresses of white georgette crepe over white satin trimmed with silk lace, handmade rosebuds and ribbons. They carried wicker baskets filled with Ophelia roses.

At this point along the Humboldt river brown rocky walls rise perpendicularly on both sides and form lofty palisades resembling the famous ones of the Hudson. These rocky walls would afford a splendid fortress for an army. At times the engine was almost near the edge of the river embakment, which is covered with silky moss and short green grass. "My, what is that so white we see, is it snaw?" "We are nearing the great salt beds near Saluro, Utah," cried the auditor. To look upon the whiteness of these beds in the sunlight is painful and almost blinding to the eyes. Everyone was commenting on this salt, the train stopped and a few alighted and secured some as a souvenir. "Oh," exclaimed a robust country-looking matron of the Caucasian race to her tall slender spouse, "is this where they make salt?" "No," replied he, notically embarrassed, "this is where they GET salt; salt isn't made. Can't you see that's salt?" This deposit is located 112 miles west of Salt Lake City and ranges in depth from a few inches at the outer edges to twelve to fifteen feet toward the center. The bed is about eight miles wide by sixty-five miles long. The Western Pacific railway crosses it near the center. It is a clear, crystalized salt, white as table salt and is said to average 98 per cent pure as it comes from the bed, without any cleansing or refining whatever. Men with machinery were seen working in this salt bed while car loads of salt were seen on the tracks. "O give thanks unto the Lord; talk ye of all his wondrous works!"

He sent a long shot from the right corner of the field, putting the ball in the left corner of the Comenius goal. Comenius goalkeeper was unable to stop the ball, with the result that Long scored the only marker of the game. In the second half Comenius started a bombardment of Long's goal, without success. The work of Collins Lee in keeping Comenius from scoring after eliminating all other teams were tied for two weeks for the Bee grade school soccer championship. Last Tuesday afternoon before an enthusiastic crowd of rooters Long defeated Comenius in a closely contested game by a score of 1 to 0. By Mrs. M. H. Wilkinson As we neared the Great Salt Lake the speed of the engine was lessened, the waters at times almost splashed the tracks. This is the largest inland body of salt water in the world, estimated to be ten times larger than the Dead Sea of Palestine. It is said to carry from nineteen to twenty-two per cent of salt and calculations fix the total of salt in the lake at four hundred million tons. The waters are sluggish and green hued. They are very buoyant and so clear that the eye can penetrate them to great depths. Gulls innumerable, whose breeding place is one of the eight islands in the lake, frequent these waters in which nothing lives except small shrimp. Near this lake is built a resort called Saltair Pavillon. Saltair is world-famous for its wonderful bathing which constitutes one of the greatest attractions at the resort. Just imagine one cannot sink! Here is water of such density that the human body floats on the surface regardless of the bather's wishes, and once in the briny waves you enjoy the most remarkable experience and sensation—they say. During my stay there on one occasion a party of us went out with some tourists but were not permitted to participate in this thrilling delight—because—well you know why—the same old story. Our group once had all privileges but ONE of us committed an offense which always necessitates ALL being deprived of further privileges. Here bathers are seen floating like a cork. They are there in boats, padding themselves here and there. The salty air is invigorating in the extreme. There is an out of the way sulphur spring in which our group may bathe—no doubt until it becomes popular. "Salt Lake City, Utah," cried the auditor. Right away one looks out for the Mormons—ha! ha!

During the first half Comenius managed to keep the bell well within Long's territory. Long F A TRAVELLER N TION, LOS ANGELES under great perseverance and hardships. Seven hundred and fifty delegates from the National Baptist Convention visited here in a body. The other group were quite excited at first to see so many of our race traveling at one time. They wondered what could be our mission. However, on receiving the proper information they made it pleasant in many ways, especially by turning over all taxi cars for sightseeing purposes. The hospitable but small churches there attempted to give a reception for the delegates, but found it a little too heavy; nevertheless, they did their best which was greatly appreciated. Salt Lake City is a beautiful place with unusually wide streets that have very tall trees planted on both sides. It is located in a valley surrounded by mountains seldom without snow, in fact, the city depends mostly on the mountain snow to furnish water since there is only a very small river near. The climate is fine, being controlled to a great extent by the Great Salt Lake. It is never extremely hot nor cold. Our group owns some very pretty homes there. Temple Square, Bringham Young monument and the homes of his favorite wives such as the Louis house and Queen Esther are the places of greatest interest. The beautiful Temple Square is enclosed by many trees and a stone wall with a heavy iron gate. In this square you will find the great Mormon Temple with the statue of Monoron the highest steeple, the great tabernacle near the center built without a nail; the assembly hall at the left and the pioneer monument in the foreground. Only the tabernacle is opened to the public. It seats thousands of people yet a pin dropped on the floor resounds clearly. It possesses remarkable acoustic properties. It contains the wonderful organ on which --- Comenius, left to right: Joe Siden- elance, James Marmanto, Charles Se- meral, Coch Charles Geiseman, Geo.

Comenius goalkeeper was unable to stop the ball, with the result that Long scored the only marker of the game. In the second half Comenius started a bombardment of Long's goal, without success. The work of Collins Lee in keeping Comenius from scoring was one of the notable features of the game. During the second half Comenius displayed some of the best team work that has been shown this season. Miss Mary Mutz, coach of the Long team, showed her ability in that line by bringing the championship to her team. To Charles Geiselman, coach of Comenius, is due credit for the manner in which the Comenius boys handled themselves. recitals are given an hour every day for visitors by Prof. John J. McClelland. The temple is opened only to those of the Mormon faith who are strict communicants. Those wedded outside of the temple are wedded only for this life but if wedded in the temple not only for this life but for eternity and the family life will always be continued. They also baptize the living for the dead. Only one colored man ever entered this temple, I was told. Many of our people are Mormons in spite of the fact that they hold we are marked with the curse of Cain and Ham, and cannot get to heaven until after thousands of years of purification. On one occasion at the funeral of the son of a very fair family a Mormon elder was invited. A Protestant minister that preceded him stated that the young man was at rest. At this the elder became very disqueted and began to shake his head in disapproval. Finally, when the opportunity came, he set them right by telling them that although this young man was "nearly white", he "wasn't quite white" and that it would take years and years of purification before he would enter into rest. Some of our group believe it, too. An old brother told an old sister who thought she was ready and waiting: "I am sorry for you, sister, I tell you you will never make it." SENTENCED FOR LIFE William Simpson was convicted in the District Court this week on a charge of first degree murder for the shooting of Radley Jackson in South Omaha, October 5, and was sentenced to life imprisonment by Judge Fitzgerald.

Bauman, city and county treasurer, has appointed Orlo South to a clerkship in his office. No better choice could have been made. Mr. South is an excellent young man, twenty-three years of age, who was reared and educated in Omaha. He graduated from Technical High school and then attended Creighton university where his studies were interrupted by the death of his father. He is a clean, mannerly, competent young man, popular with all who know him and that he will give entire satisfaction in his new position is the opinion of all. Mr. Bauman, who is a democrat, has acted upon the square and wisely in giving recognition to our people, many of whom supported him and are heavy taxpayers, by Mr. South's appointment.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 23 ping CHICAGO LAWYER DRAWS LUSCIOUS POLITICAL PLUM Edward Wright Appointed to Highest Salaried Position Occupied by Any Race Member in Country. ON COMMERCE COMMISSION Position Important One and Carries Salary of $7,000 per Annum—Governor Small Makes Appointment (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., Dec. 7.—Edward H. Wright, republican committeeman of the Chicago's famous Second Ward, was appointed to the highest salaried position occupied by any Negro in the country by Governor Len Small, recently. Mr. Wright was made a member of the Illinois Commerce Commission. The position carries with it a salary of $7,000. Negroes, generally, feel proud of the appointment of Mr. Wright. He is regarded as one of the brainiest lawyers of the city, and one of the most astute politicians of the race. He is known to be utterly fearless in protecting and advancing the rights of himself and his race. He has been at various times county commissioner, traction expert for the city, and assistant corporation counsel. It is said that he was paid $30,000 for two years' service as a traction expert. Inasmuch as America leads in the matter of salaries, Mr. Wright is doubtless the highest salaried Negro serving in a governmental appointe capacity in the world. Perry Howard, assistant U. S. attorney general, receives $5,000; Phil H. Brown, commissioner of conciliation in the department of labor, $5,000; Albert Proe, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, $4,000; Major Adam E. Patterson, assistant corporation counsel for the city of Chicago, $3,500; and James White, recently appointed to the state athletic commission in Pennsylvania, $5,000. NEWSLETS There are 8,383 colored women working in cigar and tobacco factories. In the printing business there are 199 colored female compositors, linotypers and typesetters. It would be a nice compliment to name one of our numerous women's clubs in honor of the Empress Zaoditou of Abyssinia. There is considerable speculation as to who is best fitted, by education and training, to take up the mantle of the late and lamented Mary B. Talbert. Oberlin was the first co-educational college in the world and the first in the United States to admit Negro students. Most of our race in America descended from the Negroes of the Sudan, that part of Africa lying south of and adjacent to the Sahara. The words "white male" were eliminated from the Ohio state constitution at the recent election. The Klan opposed the amendment. For the first time in the history of Haiti, the months July, August and September contributed materially to the total revenue income of the country. Contributing to the agricultural resources of the nation are ninety-two colored women dairy farm operators; twenty-eight stock raisers, and 79,733 general farm operators. The Liberian coffees have never been favorites in the United States on account of their flavor. In Europe they are used for blending with other varieties. Immigration statistics count as Negro, or "African" (black)—"Aliens whose appearance indicates an admixture of Negro blood"—"whether coming from Cuba or other islands of the West Indies, North or South America, Europe or Africa." Excluding the 50,000,000 or more dark inhabitants of India, the Negro race numbers fully 150,000,000, or about one-quarter the population of the Mongolian race. The number in Brazil alone is not much less than the colored population of the United States. --- THE M A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED OF COLORED PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY A MONITOR PUBLISH Entered as Second-Class Mail M Omaha, Nebraska, under the Act of THE REV.

COLLIER'S, The National Weekly, in its issue of December 8 begins the publication of an interesting series of articles under the above caption in which W. O. Saunders, "a Southern white man, reared with a Southerner's aversion to the black man tells how he was awakened to the new problems that the new type of Negro has created." The writer, judging from his first article and his very apparent frankness and open-mindedness disclosed therein, has a very earnest and serious purpose in undetaking his task. He calls attention to the fact, which all thoughtful people must recognize, that the great northward movement of the Negro has nationalized what has largely been considered a local or sectional problem. He frankly points out the responsibility of southern white people for the exodus and recognizes the fact that while "the old happy-go-lucky shiftless Negro still exists—a new type is growing up beside him." Collier's with its circulation is rendering a patriotic service by the publication of these articles. We hope that a large number of our people will read and digest them. OF RACIAL IMPORTANCE THE recent marriage of the grand-daughter of Madam C. J. Walker with the kvish expenditure of money necessary for such an elaborate function and social event deserves more than passing notice. The fact that $a$ social event of this character, magnitude and beautiful and harmonious setting, such as wealth and culture alone can give, were possible among our people is of itself most noteworthy. When it is known that the foundress of the fortune which made it possible, and if you please, justifiable, to carry out this elzborae affair, was scarcely more than forty years ago, a humble, but ambitious washerwoman, wonder, astonishment and admiration grow. Consider, too, the fact that the Walker fortune has been made exclusively from members of our race; and in recognition of this fact the Walker money has been used and is being wisely and generously used for the advancement of our race along many constructive lines. The Walker fortune is being recognized as a trustee ship. This is borne out in the nuptials which have attracted not only national but international attention.

Racial ability and skill was in evidence everywhere. The beautiful gowns of the bride and her attendants were purchased from, designed and made entirely by colored people, the designing and making of the coronets and everything else possible was by members of the race. Catering, music, decorations and the like were all done by our people. Is any one so blind that he cannot see the value of all this? Here was one of the most elaborate and select social functions ever given in New York, famous for its social affairs, beautifully carried out by representatives of a racial group, but a few generations removed from slavery, and regarded as a non-progressive and inferior people. It demonstrates the possibilities before us in the United Stztes, despite many limitations, and shows the substantial progress we are making. The Monitor extends congratulations and best wishes for a long, happy and prosperous life to the principals in this epoch-marking event. TROPHY WINNERS THE Monitor congratulates the Long School for winning the Omaha Bee Grade Soccer city championship. For two weeks Comemius school and Long were tied for the championship. On Tuesday Long won in a splendid closely contested game by one point. It happened that this year Long's entire team is composed of colored students, for the first time in its history, and Comenius wholly of white, and largely of foreign parentage. An unusual and rather significant situation. The significant fact is that in Omaha schools, all pupils, irrespective of racial descent, compete in an open and fair field in athletic events and the best win places upon the competing teams, and the victories they win are not individual, groupal or racial, but for their respective schools. This is contributing in a real way to true Americanism.

Every morning between eight and nine o'clock more than 35,000 brighteyed children leave Omaha homes to attend the public schools, and before these children are on their way to school, over 1,200 teachers, principals, supervisors and nurses are traveling to all parts of the city to teach these 35,000 children. (Before the end of the year the enrollment will probably reach 38,000, exclusive of evening schools. Earlier still, 141 janitors and engineers have arrived at the various buildings to heat and make them clean and comfortable for pupils and teachers. More than 25,000 parents also play their important part. Children are wakened, fressed, fed and started off to school. At "seven o'clock in the morning" the office of the Superintendent of City Schools is open for transaction of business. RANDEIS Omaha maintains four high school plants. A fifth will be ready for occupancy in September, 1924. Omaha maintains, in addition, fifty-three elementary school plants. These buildings and sites are valued at $14,216,-044.08. The average annual increase in enrollment in the Omaha schools is over thirteen hundred schools, exclusive of evening and part-time schools. In order to take care of new pupils alone, it would require two seventeen-room schools each year. It requires $3,826,000.00 to operate the Omaha public schools this year. The schools are not only in operation one hundred and ninety days a year, but, in addition, there are summer and evening sessions. One high school is in session forty-eight weeks per year.

The coming week will be Jubilee week at the popular Gayetey, the good and sufficient reason being the triumphal return of clever Aber Reyonds to Columbia burlesk—an event well worth celebrating. There is wide scope for scenic and costume elaboration in the range of opportunity said to be afforded in "Bubble Bubble" next week's attraction. The producer of this offering is said to have availed himself in a most satisfactory manner of this opportunity. "Bubble Bubble" offers sixteen changes of magnificent scenery, all unfolding special features of great beauty and novelty, while a bewildering array of costumes enhance the beauty of these sets. There are fourteen musical numbers sung and danced during the action of the piece, with tunefulness and grace, by the talented company of principals and choristers. Heading an unusually pretentious array of comedians, singers and dancers is Abe Reynolds, well and favorably known to the followers of burlesque as a delineator of comedy Hebrew roles. A close second in popularity to Mr. Reynolds is William Browning, who has been called "America's Foremost Character Artist". Ann Clifton, the prima donna of the company, won her laurels in musical before entering burlesque, she having played many of Fritzi Scheff's roles in her biggest successes. Helen Du Ross, the soubrette of the company, is another popular favorite, while others in the cast worthy of mention are Violet Buckley, Ruth Rosemond, Jack Faquay, Jim Holly and others. William K. Wells, who produced the piece, is also responsible for its authorship and staging. Dan Dany, noted for his clever work in the past, put on the musical numbers, while Melville Morris, the well-known composer, wrote the music. More than burlesque, "Bubble Bubble" combines extravaganza, musical comedy, stage illusion and vaudeville in a melange of novelty that has gained it an enviable reputation wherever it has played. The chorus sings well, looks very attractive and dances skillfully and with enthusiasm, and its shapey members know how to display most fetchingly the many costume creations with which they have been provided. Matinee at 2:15 daily. The Sunday matinee starts at 3:00. SOCIETY ATTENDS WEDDING OF MADAM WALKER'S HEIRESS (Continued from Page One) a heart shaped pillow of Venetian satin and silver lace. Madam A'Lelia Walker, mother of the bride, becoming wore an elegant straight line gown of gold metallic cloth designed and imported for the occasion from Paris, France. Great significance is attached to the wedding uniting as it does two of the race's leading families and it proved itself a gala society event, eclipsing even the most vague anticipation in beauty and gorgeousness. The mother's gift to the couple was an heirloom of especially made solid mahogany case containing 126 pieces hand turned sterling silver from Tiffany & Co.; the groom gave the bride an expensive diamond brooch; the bride gave to the matron of honor a braided green gold bracelet fastened with a lock containing two diamonds and a blue sapphire; the groom gave to the best man and ushers walking canes and cigarette cases; the bride gave to the brid's maids Gold Cost ivory bound Episcopal prayer books. Valuations are odious to place upon the many handsome and costly gifts to the couple. Friends from throughout the land generously remembered them with jewels, silver ware, cut glass, fine linens, household goods, apparel and personal congratulations. Nine thousand invitations were issued to the wedding, 1,000 of which covered the personal mailing list of Madam A'Lelia Walker, including friends and acquaintances in every state in the Union, British Guiana, the West Indies, Canada, England, France, Haiti, Liberia, Nigeria, Panama and the Phillipine Islands. 8,000 invitations were issued to supply stations to reach 40,000 agents of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co., scattered all over the world. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Twenty-fifth and R Sts.—MAket 3475 O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor. Quarterly meeting Sunday December 9th.
