DAVIS FACTION WINS.

Atlanta, Ca, March. - Following
closely the decision of the State Su-
preme Court upholding the Georgia
faction of Odd Fellows led by Benja-
min ]. Davis, his followers have begun
to take steps for the upbuilding of the
Order in Georgia. The District Grand
Lodge will meet in Macon next Au-
gust. Mr.. Davis has been deluged with
letters of congratulation.
The litigation was started thirteen
months ago, after Davis had been
ousted from the Order by the Sub
committee of Management. He sue
eeeded in having receivers appointed,
and that somewhat hindered the plans
of the Subcommittee to put an end to
his control.

Last Sunday funeral services were
held over the remains of the late Judge
Arba n. Waterman at his home, 649
Groveland Park; interment at Oak
wood Cemetery. The U. S. Grant Post,
Grand Army of the Republic also held
services in his honor at the chapel in
lakewood.
For many years Judge Waterman
who was always full of love and sym
pathy for all mankind regardless of
their color or nationality was one Of
the Judges of the Circuit Court and as
such it fell to his lot to write the opln-
ion and hand down the first decision
of the Appellate Court in favor of sus-
tanning the present Civil Rights Laws
of Illinois.
Shortly after returning to Chicago to
reside, % 1899, the writer had the
pleasure of meeting Judge Waterman
and in 1901 he presented us with a
copy of his highly interesting and in
structive little book entitled GA Cen
fury of Caste,'' "The Short and Sim
pie Annals of the Poor" While the
funeral services were being held over
his remains last Sunday afternoon we
sat very quitely and re-read the book
from cover to cover and as long as we
live we shall always highly prize it.
In the death of Judge Waterman,
Chicago has lost one of its best and
most patriotic citizens and one of the
best and warmest friends of the Col
ored race has passed on into the next
world.

Contagion Comes from Persons.

Remember the greatest source of in
lection is from person in contagious
condition. All contagion eminates
first from a diseased person. Houses
only become infected from persons with
disease germs present. A house,
cleaned and disinfected, is safe until
a person carries infection into it. Do
not depend upon one disinfection or
one scrubbing of the house to keep
free from contagious diseases.
Keep children away from the mildly
sick. Keep children away from those
severely sick. Keep children away
from any person with sore throat,
fever, cough, rash, or any indefinite
symptoms which may turn out to be
a contagious disease. Do not need
lessly visit the sick yourself. March
is one of the worst months for pneu-
monia and all other acute commune
able diseases.
Measles is now prevalent and is very
dangerous to children under two years

SIGNS OF SPRING.

There are unmistakable signs of
Spring noticeable everywhere. The
Spring feeling, early as the season is
is already invading Chicago.
One of the noticeable evidences that
this is true is the increased number OF
complaints received by the Health De,
partment in every mail, concerning
dirty, vacant lots, backwards and
alleys. This means that we are al
ready having a few early cases of
cleanacitis; one of the diseases that
the Chicago Health Department likes
to see in evidence. In fact, it does
not alarm the health officials any to
see it assume epidemic proportions.
For this reason we are not viewing
with any alarm the first few cases that
have come in.
There is only one unpleasant and
dangerous feature connected with at
tacks of cleanacitis, and these are COM
plicatiOns known as shakeabus, rug
abus, lack porchabus. This may not
be good Latin, but it is meant to cover
that neighbOrhoOd sin of shaking rugs
on back porches, annoying to nearby
neighbors and also detrimental to
health. However, it is fortunate that
not all cases Of cIeanacitis have this
unpleasant complication.
Another eloquent sign of Spring is
the rapid growth of the city lot garden
ing movement, which is already assum-
ing city wide proportions and is being
rapidly brought into such definite and
well organized shape that it promises
great things for the coming growing
season. This is a movement that the
Department of Health wishes to en-
courage in every way and has no hest
fancy in urging people everywhere to
help it along. Planting flowers and
vegetables, growing things of use and
beauty is splendid pastime. 1t takes
us out into the open under sky and
sun. 1t gives us needed exercise and
tends in every way to promote bodily
health and vigor.
Of course, there are other signs of
Spring. The boys are busy now with
roller skates, tops and marbles. Hens
are beginning to cackle, and the more
they cackle, the chances are that the
less will be the price of good, fresh
eggs. Take it all in all, the Spring
season means much for our health,
happiness and comfort. Let us utilize
it in every way and especially along
the lines of making Chicago a cleaner
city this year than it has ever been
before.

New Orleans, March.-Cardinal Glib
bons of Baltimore was recently in the
city on his annual visit to his brother,
John Gibbons, one of the leading whole
sale merchants of New Orleans. On
these visits the Cardinal has made it
rule to take a complete rest. This
time, however, he modified the rule
sufficiently to pay a visit to Xavier
University, which Mother Katherine
Drexel established here for Colored
people. The Cardinal made an address
to the school, over which the faculty
and students were overjOyed. The
visit was an informal one and the ad
dress characteristic.
Despite a slight cold, his eminence,
after saying how edited he was at the
manifest success of Xavier University,
continued, in clear, distinct voice:
~ am glad that your respected pas
tor has referred to Booker 7. Wash
ington, the great leader of the Colored
race. 1 had the pleasure of meeting
him when on one of my trips from
Baltimore to New Orleans. He asked
permission to see me in my private
apartment and, of course, 1 was glad
to tender him an invitation, and we
had long conversation together.
Tells of Experience With Colored
People.
"I must modestly say that I did
something to elevate, to uplift, and,
when it was necessary, to uphold the
rights of the Colored race in the city
of Baltimore. 1 said a good word for
them. They have never forgotten this
kindness. In my experience with the
Colored race and in my dealings with
them during nearly fifty years, I have
been struck by the fact that they have
three characteristics: First of all,
they are exceedingly grateful, that is
to say, they are always ready to ac-
knowledge with gratitude any benefit,
and gratitude is one of the noblest
virtues. Secondly, they are a very
affectionate race, a warm-hearted race,
their hearts easily expand. Thirdly, 1
am happy to say, that the Colored peo-
pie are deeply and naturally religious.
There are some people, some races,
that can hardly be aroused to recog
nize the Christian religion, the religion
of Christ, whereas, the Colored race
are always responsive to it, and have
yet to see or to hear of the first Col
ored man who has ever yet proclaimed
himself an atheist, an unbeliever."
