were placed against a wall in the

We notice that some Of our white

over the report that a number of col

Lodge here in the near future. Per

move as there are, we believe, enough
lodges among the colored people al
present to fill any legitimate need and
as far as we can learn, there is moth
ing so great to be derived from fol
lowing the principles Of Elkdom, more
than other older established orders al

another example to cite when they
saw that the colored man is only lml

will be held Monday evening from

The latest decision Of the Civil Ser
vice and Police Commission in this
city is that the acceptance of employ
ment as janitor or porter in saloon
disqualifies a colored man from being
eligible to a position on the force.
Will the same rule hold good in refer
ence to a white plumber, painter or
carpenter, who accepts work in fixing
up or repairing premises occupied by
saloons Shut out by the unions, who
refuse to admit him to membership,
from securing more lucrative employ
ment, the fact that he accepts menial
labor rather than steal or starve, in
the eyes of our Democratic commits
sioners counts against him. Verify
where an excuse is wanted, it is not
hard to find one.

BURGLAR SLEPT

Nerviest Crook In Chicago Passes Peace
full Night In House He Had

''The nerviest burglar in Chicago is
what the police call William Costello,
who was arrested at Clark and Harri-
son streets, where he had passed most
of the night in a richly furnished bed.
William yawned when the detectives
took him into custody and remarked:
Sorry l got up so early. My, but
that was a soft bed! Guess I'll go back
there when you let me get out of this"
While the sleuths took a tirmer grip
on their prisoner he told his escapade
of the night. He said he had a scarcity
of change and went out shortly after
shutdown looking for an open window
or something of the sort on a dark
street and he spied fat in an apart
ment house at 1411 Leland avenue that,
he said, presented opportunities. He
found the family had gone to a summer
resort.
There was all sorts of summer re-
sort literature a-lyin' around the fiat,
and some of it was pretty int'restin',

and then end it all by committing sui
eide.
They had decided to use chloroform
and begged the physicians to buy their
bodies. The doctors refused to buy
and tried to dissuade them from their
purpose, but failed to do so, and in
order to prevent them carrying the
compact into execution, informed the
police, and the pair were placed under
surveillance.
Several years ago the Downtown
family was in good circumstances, but
during the natural gas hoom the faith
er had some bad investments and was
reduced to poverty. Maggie did not
want to be burden on her aged faith
er and mother, and went out to service
in private families.
She and Greenstreet became ac-
quainted and subsequently engaged,
but their earnings have been small
and they have not been able to save
enough to justify marriage. After
considering the matter from all points
of view they decided to commit sui
eide, first selling their bodies and hav-
ing a good time on the money.

BANKERS son A sKULLIoN.
Young IdeaIist Studying the LOwly

So as to Upltft Them.
Philip Vanzant, son of George Van
zant, president of the Prairie State
bank, is putting in his vacation as a
sculion in the kitchen of a club at
Lake Geneva, says Chicago dispatch.
Young Mr.. VanZant is a theological
student in the University of Chicago,
and his ambition is the ministry. He
is filed with high ideals and Is an
earnest believer in the ''uplift." He
has taken the course of washing pots
and pans, carrying coal and hopping
up grease so that he can study the
character of the people whom he pro-
poses to reach when he begins his up
lift" crusade He has been at the work
little over a month, and in that time
some of his ideals have been smashed
and others have received severe jolts.
One of his most cherished ideals
about the greater democracy and the
equality of man was smashed the first
Sunday he was at Lake Geneva. His
father, mother and younger brother
were guests of the club that day.
When it came time for dinner, after he
had turned the ice cream freezer,
thrown out the garbage cleaned up
the pots and pans, fixed the fires and
scrubbed the grease up from the floor
where the cook had let it spill over, he
cleaned himself up, put on his coat and
went into the dining room to dine with
his family and the other guests. But
some of the members, knowing he had
been doing mental work, objected and
were so rude about it that he was
obliged to withdraw.
Vanzant has organized a Bible class
among the help, to which he devotes
an hour every Sunday.

The editor of the Cordele Ram

Georgia. He is the creator of the
real new wealth that is added to the

what he enrolls on the tax books IS
not what he has gotten from another

"Squll0 AoIIy Dy sixty feet, and will
include some of the most magnificent
specimens of agriculture ever seen in
Macon, and this will exemplify to the
highest degree the matchless fertility
or Georgia soil under the improved
methods used by the Georgia farmer.
The poultry fanciers will find at the
park the very best specimens of the
Georgia bird, and if he has poultry to
sell, or if he desires to buy poultry
OF any breed, the auction sales will af-
ford him the opportunity which he
seeks. These auction sales will occur
Immediately after the judging. A COM
petent auctioneer has been secured by
the Macon Fair Association for the
purpose of conducting all sales of this
kind.
The department of agricultural ma
chinery will be a valuable school for
the visiting farmer, as it will show him
what the intellect of his fellow man
has done to solve the labor problem
1t will show him how the practical
man of science has devised machinery
with which one man can now accom-
plish what dozen slaves formerly ac-
complished.
In the dairy department the latest
methods of butter-making will be
shown, and it will be demonstrated to
the satisfaction of every dairyman
that, the milking machines that will
be tested and used are now destined
to take the place of the old method of
laborious milking by hand. At least
two of the most successful milking
machine inventions will be in use in
this department, and dairymen from
all parts of the country will be on
hand to witness the demonstrations.
In the department of machinery and
electric appliances will be found the
only wireless telegraph station that
has ever been seen in practical opera
ton in an interior Southern town.
This station will be used for transmit
ting messages to neighbOring towns
forty or fifty miles out from Macon,
and will show to the visitors at the
fair how the principles of electricity
have been converted to such practical
use that without cables an operator
may sit at a desk at Macon and in
stantly communicate with an operator
at a similar desk forty, 100, or even
thousands of miles away. A large
auditorium will be provided on the
grounds so that all visitors may view
in comfort the operation Of this won
derful device.
Carrying out the idea of centen-
NAL celebration, the management of
the fair will contrast for the education
of all visitors the primitive methods of
the Indians of the earlier centuries
with the advanced methods of the
Caucasian of today The wigwam and
the tepee will occupy one plat of
ground in the park, where the Indian
savages held high carnival 100 years
ago. while the beautiful cottage home
of the present day will be seen not far
off. The thirty Indians from Uncle
Sans reservation will dance the
green corn dance and their war dance
around their little settlement, while
the puff of the steam-engine and the
whirr of the gin operating a short
distance away by the white men will
exemplify the progress that has been
made since the Indians were driven
out of possession in this country,
