frOmptness in Christmas shopping

Every indication points to a holi-
day shopping season which will be
unsurpassed both in the aftiuence
of the products displayed and the
plentiful supply of money in the
public's pocketbook. A year Of sig.
nal prosperity in almost every
branch of legitimate business, ac-
companied by Il marked rise in
wages on the part Of railroad sys-
TENS employing several hundred
thousand men. and by Il keen de.
mand for skilled labor at good
wages everywhere, has brought
about conditions which will unques-
tionably be reflected in the volume
of general and special purchases
which will he made in the next
eighteen la. &.
4ue auN ue that Christmas shop
pers should make their selections
early is not new, but it is particu-
larly timely just now, in view of
this situation, says contemporary
1T is always well to remember that
flesh and blood has its limits of en-
durance, and that the men and
women who stand behind the cOun-
teIs Of the big stores can render
much more satisfactory service if
they are not confronted with an
overwhelming rush of customers
al! ut once. Humane considerations
dictate that the army Of purchasers
WHO will visit the stores this month
should not wait until the last posi-
BILE days before they go to buy.
Sensible selt-intcrest Should induce
them to avoid needless delay; for
it is evident that those who go ear
ly will have a larger stock to choose
from and lie able 10 command moro
intelligent attention ircm those
who wait on them.
These motives combined should
surely prove adequate to inspire

Trade reports continue satisfac-

boom seems to have passed from
the East across the Appalachinns
and is now under full head way for
the Pacific coast. Near the Allan

during the last six months have
been unmistakable. Only another
season of good crops saved US from
unpleasant consequences. Now
that irrational speculation has beeh

THE SONS OF HAM

| THE SONS OF HAM
Ono Of the big attractions Of tn
season is billed to appear at Gram
Opera House on Wednesday after
noon and night when William ant
Walkers merry musical success 'Th
Sons of Ham, introducing thos
clever colored comedians, Avery and
Hart and their big organization o.
players, makes Its appearance. The
large company is composed sntirel!
Of co!ored people carefully selected
with a view to individual excellence
and iu its peculiar line surpasses all
of its predecessors. The play select
ed was one of the musical genrs OF
last season full of furur, situations
and up-tO- date musical ndmbers and
10 cleverly devised for introducing
specialties that are meritorlous and
Interesting. The chorus ensemble
aud quartette work is distinctly
characteristic Of the colorcd people,
tunefuI, bright and sparkling. The
costumes, scenery and stage settings
are novelties in design and construc-
tiOn.
THE VOLUNTEER ORGANIST
''The Volunteer Organist," the
pastoral drama about which there
has been considerable anticipatory
interest, will be produced in this
city at the Grand Opera House next
Friday evening.
The piece in way is temper
ance lesson. 1t is also lucid ex
position of some of the higher traits
in human kind as contrasted to the
sinister tendencies common in every
community.
The personalities are mostly
reasonable. The chief scene disclos-
es the interior of a church, with
the volunteer organist seated at
his instrument, while the sweet,
ringing voice of boy singer is
heard in the powerful melody of
THE Holy City, The regular Or
ganlst of the church has declined
to act because the daughter of
tavern-keeper sings in the choir.
The fact that the minister of the
place loves the same daughter, and
thus arOuses the uncOmpromising
dislike of members of his flock, ap-
pears prominently in the develop
ment of the plot.
1t is highly entertaining perform
ance, and one which people who
have admired such dramas as Way
Down East, 1.-THE Old Homestead
and Shore Acres" will surely
delight in witnessing. (
The cast is an exceptionally strong
one.
THE MUMMY AND THE HUM
MING BIRD. ,
John Drew will appear for one
night only at Grand Opera House ,
Tuesday, Decem Der 16!h.
lie is appearing this season in
Isaac Henderson S original, modern
play "The Mummy aud the Hum ,

the Empire Theatre for over ttr,e
months, 1t is claimed that Mr..
Drew II his entire career has never
had more sat slactory play than
The Mummy and The Hummns
Bird.' In it. too, It is conceded
that he is doing the finest work
in his career.
HIS imperson alton of Lord Lumley,
the scence-a bsorGed husband, who
tenn porarIy negects his young and
pretty wife, is at all points a spIen
did aud human achievement, the
side Of which is given
special emphasis in the love scenes
which Mr.. Drew has with Marga-
ret Dale. Another interesting feat

the condition of the co1ored people of
Chicago, Prof. Dubois called attention
to the growing Importance of Chicago
as the center of very large Negro
population. Probably no city in this
country are the conditions so favor
able to the absorption of a Negro col
Ony. The prejudices here are less fixed
than in the Eastern cities, and polit-
ical power of the people seems to be
recognized in a way that is most help
full. What have the colored people
done in Chicago to meet the conditions
growing out of this constantly increas-
ing population of colOred people? In
the first place their spiritual welfare
will be cared for by nine Methodist
and six Baptist churches, with numer-
Gus missions, one Presbyterian, one
Episcopal, and one Catholic church.
Their physical wants will be attended
to by the best equipped hospital and
training school in the country, one
Old-FOlks Home. For the encourage
ment of young professional men who
want a good chance to start in life, IL
may be stated that there are about ZO
physicians located here, a half dozen
dentists and over so lawyers.
The only insurance association man.
aged and controlled exclusively by col
ored people is The United brotherhood,
a fraternal insurance association Orga-
nized on the plan of Inc Royal Area
mum and The FOreSters. It is the only
The colored American., 1902-10-04

fraternal insurance having a charter
based on the Massachusetts law gov
erning fraternal orders. On the d1rec-
tory are found such names as j. &. Ma
pier, of Nashville, Tenn; John Davis,
of Louisiana; DR.. Daniel H. Williams,
S. Laing Williams, David G. Weir, j. ).
Madden, j. r. Taylor, j. d. Smith and
A. p. Perry, of Chicago, Ill. The COM
pany has been organized for three
years and has earned the confidence OF
the community by the honesty and ef-
ficiency of its management. 1t has
promptly paid all its Mortuary and
other liabilities, and has been highly
commended by the insurance commits
sioner of the State for the business
like way in which its affairs have been
conducted. This insurance association
affords an excellent opportunity for
young men and women of energy and
ability to make of themselves some
thing in the business world.
The charter of the order is national
and the management is making ar
rangementS to extend its benefits into
| other States beside Illinois. That the
colOred people are interested in insur-
ance is shown by the interesting fact
that in Richmond, Va, over $4,000 of
|
sured. With this ever enlarging Negro
population in the Lake City, it will be
possible to develop many kinds of Ne
gro enterprises. The number of small
merchants and shOpkeepers is increas-
ing.
What is still of greater Importance
is the fine advantages offered by the
mixed schools of Chicago There are
about 5000 colOred children now en-
rolled in our city schools, besides the
opportunities for higher education af-
forded by two of the greatest univer-
sites in the nOTthwest-the Chicago
and the Northwestern. NOtWith stand
ing all these advantages of large pOpu-
| lation, schools and culture, there is
a pressing need of the cooperative
spirit among the people. If the peO-
pie of Chicago could use their larger
liberties and civic privileges in CO
operative way, to the same extent that
the people of Richmond and other
Southern cities have used their re-
strictionS, Chicago would soon become
an example of the highest progress.
