DR.. Anna B. granddaughter the
subject Of this sketch, was born in
the capital of the nation on the banks
of the historic Potomac. From the
primary schools Of her native city,
she went to the Normal Department;
of Howard University, at which school
she acquitted herself with honOrs.
Later she took a course at Fisk, the
famous school for Colored youths in
the south, and by close application
to her studies, made a record for
scholarship that reflected great Gre
dit upon herself, as well as her Alma
Mater In 1894, Dr.. Schultz entered
Jenner Medical College of this city,
graduating from that institution three
years later. She at once took up the
practice Of her profession and made
a success Of it from the start Her
work, which has been Of a varied ma.
ture, has not been confined entirely
to the people Of her own race. Many
white patients have awaited them
selves Of her skill as a surgeon, and
as a specialist along certain lines, she
has been frequently called into con-
sultation with many Of the city's lead
ing physicians. The Doctor has been
Medical Expert for the Hammond
Packing Company, one Of the largest
concerns Of its kind in America, and
for such well known public service
corporations as the Chicago City Rail
ways Company, and the Common
wealth Edison Company.
DR.. Schultz is in many respects a
remarkable woman Handsome of
face, distinguished in carriage, with
a manner as winning as a politicians.

comes quickly and in large quantities.
Unfortunately many OF the monied
men among US have got theirs in such
q left-handed way that the eminence
It has raised them to is by no means
enviable; they could hardly be set
up as exemplars for a rising race. On
the other hand considering all their
past, Negroes have done fairly well
h getting money and property and
their possessions are gradually build
ing up an independent class.
Some claim that there is already a
distinct class among Colored people,
far above the common Nero-a class
to which the ordinary son OF Ham can
gaze at in wonder until its brilliancy
dazzles his eyes: this is the society
class.
Among all other races, society in
the sense Of entertaining and being
entertained, is the last thing reached;
and is reached only by a limited mum.
Der Of the people people usually OF
means, culture and family. Among
Negroes, It is the first thing reached;
little qualifications being required for
admission thereto. All may enter who
primp themselves some; a good suit
OF clothes or a snowy dress being a
certain ticket Of entry. Effrontry ap-
pears to be one OF the main requisites.
II one may Judge by Chicago, adver-
Internationally and shamelessly pro-
claiming ones own importance and
the cost OF ones dresses-is another
sure passport into the charmed circle
The Colored newspapers are, in a
measure responsible for this condi-
ton, as they not seldom solemnly tell
us that such and such a one has be-
come the very head and front Of Ne.
gro society. Unfortunately the whole
Colored community knows the new
star and instead Of regarding it wor-
shipfully. sets up an irreverent guf-
faw over its pretensions. They often
know that this new candidate for hon
ors has gone hungry and cold and
lived in fear Of collectors in order to
make the one grand spread and win
the society renown of a day. How
many have risen and fallen in Chi
cago in the last ten years!
OF course there are not a few cul-
tured and likeable people who give
their time to society, but they hardly
form a class; they allow too many
goats to become mixed up with the
sheep and the lambs Sad to say so
ciety at present is too full Of charac-
tiers that have been blown upon. And
yet there are hundreds of people dy-

who is an ideal helpmate for him.
Right here it might be stated, that
Mr.. Robinson has only one sister, who
he highly esteems, Mrs. Maggie
Strange, residing in Pittsburg, Pa.
His father passing away in his ma
tive town, and his mother folding her
arms in death at Pittsburg.
He belongs to the Grand United
Order Of Odd Fellows, being an hon
ored member of Ezekiel Lodge No.
1905. He is a Patriot of the Chicago
Branch No. 10, 18th Regiment. He is
also a Mason, being a member Of
Doric Lodge No. a..
Mrs. Robinson is a member Of the
Household Of Ruth No. A. She is also
a member Of Olivet Baptist Church.
Three years ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Rob
inson bought a nice brick two-lat
building at 3511 Armour avenue, and
they deserve great credit for putting
and keeping their property up in first
class shape.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson are both
ideal citizens-hOnest to the back
bone, and they have many friends
among both races who are highly
pleased to see them meeting with
success in their journey through life.

William Robinson was born at
ReedsviIle, Miflin county, Pa, in
1861, and at the age Of eight years
he removed from there TO Pittsburg,
Pa. with his mother, Mrs. Martha
Robinson, where he attended school
and resided until September, 1890.
That same year he came to Chicago
to make his future home, and for five
years thereafter he worked for the
late NJ. c. Mcdonald, or until the old
Chicago Daily Globe, which was con-
troIled by Mr.. Mcdonald, went out OF
existence.
Then for some time thereafter he
was in the employ of George Hankins,
and in 1894, Mr. Robinson worked in
Douglas Park until 1895, at which
time he was appointed by Mayor
George B. Swift to the police depart
ment, and from that time to the pres
ent ne has been a faithful servant OF
the city, and to his everlasting credit,
he has never been brought up before
the Police Trial Board on any charge
whatever.
On January IL, 1903, Mr. Robinson
was happily united in marriage to
Mrs. Carrie Webb. of Columbus. Ohio

In the latter part Of September,
1908. Madam Maude Seay, who
thoroughly learned the millinery trade
with Griffin and Company, the French
miIliners, Michigan avenue and Jack

herself in the SD block on State
street, and being very popular and
well known among the best class Of
Colored people on the south side, she
met with success from the beginning

ing to get into it; proving that T. e
world is very largely made up Of fools
and that people aspire to be classed
with even those that pretend to a su-
periority.
Whatever the influences OF the var
ious agencies here discussed. the close
observer can see one thing; that the
time has passed when that song con-
corning the similarity Of all Colored
persons Is any longer generally appli-
cable; and that as the years go by
and the fruits Of the passing years
are gathered by the Negro race. there
viii be found in it as much diversiH-
cation in thoughts, pursuits, hopes and
aspirations, as in all other races.

selves. And again among these light
people themselves there are the very
stanchest Of Negroes; some Of the
truest race men and women / ever
knew, could pass anywhere for white
The conclusion Of the whole matter
on this subject is that color distinc-
ton is too artificial q one upon ~Sdch
to base any aspiration, generous or
noble.
Education will inevitably make clas-
ses. Men and women whose minds
have been trained, find no pleasure
in company with the ignorant. Then
the various kinds OF education so d.
versify mems likes and dislikes that
even among the educated there may
be many classes. Improvement Of
the mind brings with 1t desire for
better surroundings, economy and am
bition- It is usually from the edu-
Gated classes that our professional
men come.
speak with caution when say that
it is usually from the educated that
the Negro professional men come; for
some time one runs across a profes-
sional man who is a stranger to the
arts and sciences-nay a stranger to
decent English; who seems to have
blundered into his profession much
like the traditional bull entering a
china shop; bringing ridicule upon the
race, IL a lawyer; disgrace upon his
congregation, If a preacher; and send
ing swiftly to the grave his patients,
IL a physician.
OF course even the best professional
Negroes do not form a class, but is
the beginning of one. They are not
now independent enough; they are
too poor to be courageous, and must
cater to the masses; there not being
enough educated and wealthy Negroes
to give them q modicum Of support.
| have often heard a certain literary
man tell, with no small gusto, Of a
Colored banquet which he attended in
Washington, D. c., years ago. at which
there sat down a Colored United
Senator and the coachman of a white
senator! Doctors and lawyers must
be careful what they say and how they
act, else they will find themselves
branded as "stuck-up" and see their
livelihood go floating away to some
noisy mountebank who boasts Of be
ing a mixer"

sional man is at present too envious

Queen of Scots, she looks eft to be
the mother OF a lions brood" Moth
ing so strikingly illustrates the de-
termined will of this many-sided wo-
man as an exhibition of nerve on her
part during an epidemic Of smallpox
at Provident Hospital, when that in
stitutiOn was located at Twenty-ninth
and Dearborn Streets. The white su-
perintendent deserted her post and
fed from the pestilence like a wild
horse, before a prairie fire. Unvac-
cinated and no more immune than her
white sister, DR.. Schultz took the va
cant post as acting superintendent,
and held the fort, without pay, till the
disease had been stamped out
A few years ago the Doctor was
offered the position OF Asst. Superin-
dendent Of nurses for the Kankakee
Insane Asylum, but declined the
honor. Nothing shows the versatility
Of her character more than the fact
that she has taken up the study Of
law as a diversion. Should she quail
fly for this strenuous profession, Chi
cago will hear from her in the law
as it has in the field Of medicine.

an orphan girl, who promises to be
as capable as the doctor.

STRIKE HELPS
STOCK PRICES
Previous Uncertainty About
Labor Hung CIoudIike
Over Market.

Every sugar stock, listed on the local
boards is reaching new high record
mark, and all in all the strike seems
to have been benefit rather than a
detriment. The cause for the prevail.
ing strong stock market particularly
those of the sugar estates, goes back
to the period before the strike when
there seemed to be likelihood of labor
disturbances at any time, and it hung
like a cloud over all financial dealings.
1t was like the sword of Damoeles and
yesterday, seemed to know just when
it would fall. The strike, therefore,
seems to have removed one of the ele-
ments in the market that was more
disturbing to the trade barometer than
anything else The labor disturbance
came, was met and disposed of and, as
soon as it was shown that it could be
met. stocks took brace and remained
steady and then began to climb
The condition of the European beet
crop is reported as unfavorable to the
European growers, but is favorable to
cane growers. The weight of the Eu-
ropean beet at this time of the year
is far below the beet of last year at
the same period, and this indicates a
very short beet crop. Local brokers,
after studying the situation and reach,
ing their conclusions from the letters
of mainland correspondents, regard this
condition as an indication that there is
every reason to expect fair price for
sugar next year.
Hawaiian sugar has besn netting the
plantations, after deducting carrying
and marketing charges, about $65 per
ton, and it is fair to assume that the
sugar estates are making net profit
of from $25 to $50 per ton. The crop
for the present season will go over the
estimates, so sugar men say.

WEALTH Of HAWAII
IS INCREASING FAST

The assessed value of the real and
personal property in Hawaii, according
to the report of Governor Frear to the
Secretary of the Interior, which the
Governor is now preparing, is larger
today than ever before in the history
of Hawaii, being $138,910,820. 1t has
increased over FIVE million dollars in
value since 1905, the next highest val
uation, when the figure was $133,-
924, 100.
The Governor is working on the
financial part of his report, taking his
figures in part from the reports of
Treasurer Conkling and Tax Assessor
Wilder.
Governor Frear says in his report to
the Secretary of the Interior that the
receipts by the government during the
past fiscal year aggregated $685.
526.81, an increase of 1891, 77S.49 over
those of the previous year, which
amounted to 1869, 1882.
The expenditures for the past fiscal
year were also larger than for the year
previous, being $2,934, 9S4.10, as against
$2,817, 37S.S6. The increase amounts to
$117,60524 But the receipts exceed
ed the expenditures by $116,524.71.
The taxes collected for the past fiscal
year amounted to $2,0S0, 635.71, an in
crease of $199, 787.sS over those of the
previous year, when they totaled only
$3.50, S47.S3
The revenue from other sources
amounted to 1910, 891.10, or $181 ,990.61
