important that happened which was
not on the program. When Alderman
Robert r. Jackson was introduced to
to introduce the Hon James Donahoe,
who was slated to represent Mayor
William E. Dev4r, the oily and very
smooth Alderman from the Third
Ward dished TIP whole lot Of slick
taffy for those who had crowded into
the church He declared that he was
mayor Of Chicago for at least one
minute; that Mayor Dever always
consulted him respecting the policy
that he should dish up for the colored
people; that on his recommendation
Mayor Dever had appointed a colored
lady to a position which pays no sal
ary, and after he had concluded in laud-
ing Mayor Dever to the skies, he in
troduced Mr.. Donshpe who would rep
resent Mayor Bever, and Alderman
Jackson and Mayor Donahoe Dever
were lightly applauded when they both
had finished speaking. 1t looked as
though they would be able to make
their way to the city hall on Tuesday
morning and report to Mayor Dever
that he was still the high chief among
the colored people on the South Side,
but i'll few moments from that time
their smiles were transformed into
tears, for just as the speaking was
drawing to close Mrs. Louise Webb
arose and presented Mrs. s. Joe
Brown, who can easily measure arms
with the best, highly-educated white
or colored women in the country. She

among other things. that the colored
people in the future should be very
careful and refrain from voting for
any one for mayor Of Chicago who
seemingly becomes suddenly sick
every time he i called upon to address
a colored gathering Of the leading
members Of the colored race: that the
six thousand members Of the Order
Of Eastern Star in this city and state
felt highly insulted to be turned down
cold BY Mayor Dever. After she had
given Alderman Jackson and Mr..
Donahoe cards and spades. she beat
them to dead stand still at their own
game Of oily or smooth talking. she
resumed her seat and was loudly and
heartily applauded and most especially
by the members Of the Order Of East
ern Star.
It may not be out Of place to re-
mind Mayor Dever that if he does not
wish to become the laughing stock
in the eyes Of the thinking and indie
pendent colored people, he must give
up the idea Of sending his shouters
and retainers and those who have their
mits creased at the public crib to rep
resent him on such important occa-
sions among the colored people.

GRAND LIST REDUCTION
 FOR YEAR IS FORECAST
Chairman Hall of Finance Board Expects Total
 to Be Lower

! The grand list for the next fiscal year will be published this year one
 month later than in other years, an
 amendment to the city's charter calling for such a change having been passed by the legislature, effective this year. Because Of this fact the grand list will be announced March 1, instead of February 1, allowing the assessors one more month in which to complete their tasks.
 Although 1t is not possible to state for a certainty until all assessments have been made, 1t is said that the list this year will be slightly lower than last. Chairman Edward r.. Hall Of the board of finance and taxa ton has advised his commission that, because Of the likelihood Of a lower grand list, matters of city finances and appropriations must be handled with the probability of a lower list in mind. This condition will probably affect the work of the pruning com mittee" Of the finance board when 1t meets next month, and it is said that departmental appropriations will be pared down more closely than usual
 The business Of the board of re- lief will necessarily be affected by the new charter amendment. The relief board will go into session March this year instead Of in the early part of February. and will conclude its hearings March 20. After five days Of investigation the books will be closed and recommendation made to the board of finance and taxation.
