Let them get together and find the
cause; then it will be time enough to
find the remedy. Last Saturday, on
3Oth and Wabash Ave-, a man stabbed
his wife in the limb, throwing her into
fits Of delirium, and she now is lying
in the County Hospital under the care
of its physicians. The last four muir
ders were not done by drunkards, but
by sober, cool and premeditated lib
eral murderers. The victims were two
young women of good standing in the
communities in which they lived and
the others were young men, hard-work-
ing men and industrious. Three of
two of these cases were on the account
of Jealousy, and the other two were
for revenge. One of these young WON
en- was a hard-working young girl and
the support Of her mother; the other
was a school teacher in Arkansas. One
Of the young men was a waiter at the
Windemere Hotel, and the other was
day laborer. What caused this woman
of Hyde Park to get under the bed of
her victim, prepare a hatchet, the wea-
pom used, abide the time like a eat
after a mouse, until he return to his
room, then silently see him disrobe,
turn of the light and retire; then 81
lently wait the hour of five in the
morning when she knew he slept the
sleep Of soundness, then come out quiet
ly from under the bed and strike the
fatal blow in the face, following Il
up with % more until she satisfied her
thirst for bloodf What was it that
made this man take this woman by the
arm, on the public street, in view of
hundreds Of pedestrians and shoot like
dog four timesi What caused this
man to walk to the toilet and tell his
victim to pull the chain and come out
and take his medicine and cut him to
deathS And yet as serious as this mat
ter seems to me, the churches are 81
lent; the fraternal societies are silent;
the professional men are silent; the
business men and women are silent;
the 7. n. G. A. and other reform as
sOeiations are silent, and the race is
the worse for it. Yes, permit me to re-
peat what said two weeks ago; "'Ths
ministers are raising money, and the
souls Of men and women are perish
ing" The door of the house Of prayer
is closed, and my brother within, Is
sleeping, and the ain is present.

the pastor of the Hyde Park A. NJ. E.

er of fine bouncing boy. Mother is
doing nicely at this writing. The baby
is the recipient of a good many nice
presents. The Broad Ak hopes for him
brilliant future. The Rev. is also
an employee of the Postofice as clerk.
Mr.. Anderson, one of our leading ex-
pressmen in Hyde Park, who has a
large establishment on Lake Ave-, is
now in the political saddle out here
and expect to keep the pace for the
Hon. Roy o. West set by his friend
and political advisor, Hon. A. L. Will
liams. He'll make good.
Mr.. D. D. Lacey, prop. of the Hyde
Park Hotel barbershop, a very close
friend of Congressman James r. Mann
and ex-Union soldier, has recently been
notified of an increase to his pension
by the Government. He is proud of
his military record and the splendid
recognition of his worth by his country.
The home of Mrs. Mathew Coleman
has been beautifully decorated, and the
best thing about the whole matter is
she herself bought the caleimine and
did the decorating. Each separate de-
partment has a different color, and all
of the departments blend into one beau
tiful whole.
Mr.. E. II. Brown has returned to the
city from Benton Harbor, Ind, on the
account Of illness.
Many of the men and women of this
section of the city are working hard,
saving their money, buying property;
gritting their teeth, saving wood and
saying nothing. But what about Col
ored business enterprisesf We have
not got a grocery store, a meat market,
notion store, shoe shop, printing shop,
or a haberdasher. On the other hand,
we are spending thousands Of dollars
with men who would not employ a
negro girl or boy as clerk in any Of
these stores. We, some five hundred
families or more in Hyde Park, who
spend weekly on an average Of $500
per week or $4,000 per month, or $4,000
per year for groceries alone, and still
we win not support a grocery Of orr
own. Ny friends, saving up money,
where it doth corrupt and eankor is
one thing, and pooling your money to-
gether so as to do something construc-
tive for the race is another. And the
latter spells progress. Think about
these thingsl You have got to do it

American Note to Germany
:On Issues: in the Frye Case
Applies to All NeutraIs

The American note to the German
foreign Office regarding the destruction
Of The sailing ship William p. Frye by
German auxiliary cruiser is expected
to have results of far reaching impor-
lance affecting the entire, question of
treatment of neutral commerce by the
European belligerents.
Oh its face it simply deals with
single case the Importance of which
could be measured in a comparatively
small sum of money.
The United States acquiesces in the
German proposal that joint board of
experts fix the value of the Frye. which
will be promptly paid for by the Ger
man government. This was the oligi-
nal American proposition.
Acceptance of German Offer.
But the far-reac ching effect of the
note comes in it's acceptance of the
German offer to arbitrate 1.-THE ques-
tion. of legal Justification for the sink
ing, of the Frye. in SO far as that in
wolves the Interpretation of the exist
ing treaties with Germany. If the Ger

IN the form suggested. it is believed
hera that the American government
will be in position to address itself
TO Great Britain with greater force
than it heretofore has been able to
exert in advocacy of the general free
dom of legitimate neutral commerce on
the,high seas.
In the State Departments view this
Wit be particularly true if Germany
accepts the last suggestion in the Frye
note and agrees to suspend. during the
arbitration at least. it's policy of de-
stroyins American ships carrying con-
traband.
