TO UPLIFT THE RACE
THAT'S THE OBJECTCF UNI
TED BROTHERHOOD.
An Immence Audience Greets Book n T.
Washington at Bethel Church, Chicago
at the Meeting Launching the United
Brotherho God,

The new fraternal insurance organ
ization the United Brotherhood, was
successfully launched at Bethel
church. Chicago, last Sunday after
noon. The church was too small to
hold the crowds of both races anxious
to hear Prof. Washington's remarks
So great was the jam that arrange
ments were made to hold an overflow
meeting in the lecture room, and when
this was done the doors of the church
were closed and many were turned
away.
Mr.. Washington's hearers were from
many walks of life, ministers and re-
formers, judges and other public Of
ficials being among the prominent cit
liens on the platform. Among them
were DR.. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Moses
H. Jackson, DR.. Emil G.. Hirsch, Col.
William Penn Nixon, Charles S. De-
neen, Judge Kohlsaat, Judge Carter,
Judge Tuthill, Thomas H. Cannon.
After a surpliced choir had sung
Nearer My God, to Thee and an Or
chestra had played several patriotic
airs, Rev. r. G. Ransom offered prayer.
He was followed by Alexander Miles,
one of the founders Of the United
Brotherhood, who stated it's Objects
'This is a fraternal, charitable and
beneficial society, organized for the
promotion of the welfare, social and
fraternal, of it's members and the pro-
lection of those dependent upon them,"
he said. S. Laing Williams then in
troduced Mr. Washington.
Mr. Washington was given a hearty
reception. The audience arose and
chooro6
as there was lull and the speaker was
about to begin the enthusiasm broke
out afresh, and it was several min
utes before the orator could be heard.
Mr.. Washington spoke OF the problems
which confronted the American
people and told how they could be set
tied. He raised his voice in favor of
the enfranchisement of the race in the
South. Mr.. Washington asked for
hearty support for the United Brother
hood.
The speaker said in part: II be-
lieve that this organization is a STEP
ping stone to higher conditions. 1t is
in line with my efforts for the last sew
enteen years. 1t puts people in habits
of thrift and economy and in a spirit
of good citizenship. And I want to
say in regard to this order that it is
better to have business men in it. You
don't want orators to do business for
you. You must have business men,"
After speaking of a bank in Birming-
ham, Ala, which is run entirely by
Afro-Americans, the speaker contin-
ued: when black men go to start
ing banks and keeping them up
through panics it is good sign of the
advancement of our race. We must
destroy the false theories of our people
by showing tangible and real evidence
of what has been done. We must be
Industrious. We must keep our chill
dren at work. And let it be our OBJ
ject and aim in business and educa-
ton to help each other up until we
reach the final round"
Others who spoke were J. Frank
Wheaton, NJ. H. Seeley. Thomas H.
Cannon, of the Catholic Order of For
esters, said a few words in behalf of
the United Brotherhood. The meeting
closed with benediction by Rev. John
F. Thomas.

WHAT A BLACK MAN

with quiet wit and humor, together with
much valuable information. It is dedi-
Gated to his wife, of whom he says: 'Whc
has been not only ENCOURAGEMENT but in

about the style Of the authors writing
which makes one feel he was listening to
an oral presentation Of the subject mat

robacco-Lovine Presidents.

!, Boston Herald: Now comes the explanatio
that President McKinIev's nervous trouble
cessive smoking appears to be quite q common
falling among our presidents. It is we'll known
that President Grant suffered from it, and so
did President Cleveland, not to mention the
other occupants of the white house who have
been fond of the weed. It is said that Presi-
dent Mckinley smokes almost continuously,
and that he excuses himself for his oyerin-
diligence by saying that 1T relieves the attacks
of neuralgia to which he is more or less sub
5ect. All the same, it isn't prudent for any
body to smoke necessarily. It is an Indulgence
that has its destinations, but 1t has its penal
ties likewise. and the latter more than Offset
the former in the long run.

Subscriber Who Failed to Notify the
Publisher to Stop His Paper.
Justice Johnson, of St. Paul, has &C.
cided in the case of the Odd Fellows Re-
view against John Gaffey, that if a SUBJ
scriber desires to have a paper discon-
tinued to his address, he must firset pay
the publisher the amount he owes for
subscription, and make a. request that
the paper be discontinued to his address.
The evidence in the case brought forth
the facts that Gaffey subscribed and paid
for the Review for one year, and that
he continued to accept it after his SUBJ
scription had expired. Later he changed
his address without notifying the pub
Usher, and claimed not to have received
the paper. This, the court held, was
through no fault Of the publishers, who
received judgment for the amount due
and costs.

a BIT OF BRAID.
~~~~~~~~~

"a HE turned her head very slightly.

- the narrowing of her eyes with
sudden anger, and the fitting Of her
rounded chin.
Clumsy" she said in a voice ringing
with scorn. She caught up her skirt,
just raising 1t from the ground, and
FASTENED on. But she threw few more
or less acceptable home thrusts over
her shoulder as she went.
Il can't think what you have been
doing with yourself lately. Not i'm
proving, anyway. And you won't get
on In the direction you are taking, | can
assure you. 1t makes me very doubtful
as to the truth Of all your yarns of con-
quest-they are just what took them
for-fairy tales, every one. For no girl

you saw the braid hanging. You could
not be so blind as that"
She gave the offending skirt, with the
loop of braid dangling uncomfortable

ankles-the word expressed her alto

made no objection.

They had reached the landing stage
where the boat was moored. The girl
proceeded to take her place In it with
the calmness and ease which only can
come to her sex through practice and
long suffering. She was seated with
the ropes in her hands before she really
looked up at the man who had followed
her-into the boat by this time.
Now let me see the stroke which
takes captive your best girls" she was
saying, and then her eyes met his.

appropriate that he should be the one
to blush. 1t was to her cheeks the color

Odd Results of Grating.

Our Brussels correspondent tele-
graphs that 1t has been reserved for a
Belgian gardener to show the modern
plant what 1t can do in the way of
grating. Hitherto 1t has been Gus
tomary to assume a spirit of determine
ed exclusiveness to be implanted In
plants-that, In fact, stock will take
no graft unless 1t be of the same plant
family with itself. The ingenious Bel
gian has changed all that. He has, he
declares, grated the sugar maple on
the lilac, the French bean on the cas-
tor oil plant and the cabbage on tina
tomato.
\ Daily Mail representative ran up
to Holborn yesterday to ask Mr.. Car
ter's CRATER whether these things
might be. The seed-plant expert said
that he would not go so far as to say
that they might not, but If they might
he did not know it. And again, IT they
might, what then? The result would
not be species of sweet lilac that
might be used In Fruit tarts, nor

attached, nor a cross between CAD
bage and tomato.
The graft preserves its own charac-
ter. Its habit of growth may in some
cases be modified, but the fruit remains
as before. Moreover, these freak plants
do not seed. You may get the flrst
step, but not further. The sugar maple
would remain Il sugar maple, tle
French bean would continue to be

This insistence grew so strong that the
bid residents began to look around for
reason for the name of their place,
and at last they found huge bowlder
near by which they said was what had
suggested the name. But the bowlder
was gray instead of red. and the pro-
gressists insisted that that would not
do. At last the old timers hit upon
new plan, and. procuring barrel of red
paint, they painted the big rock red.
