PRESIDENT HOPE TO ATTEND
GENEVA CONFERENCE

Atlanta, Ga Especial to The Broad
Ax).-President John Hope of More
house College sailed last Saturday for
Geneva, Switzerland, to attend the
World Committee meeting Of the Y.M.
CA, which meets here the last Of this
month. President Hope is the only
colored representative to be at this

In his last appearance before the

has an enrollment of $50, President

Exemplary personal character and ef-
hciency in correcting Embellishments

Among other prominent speakers

talk on the history, industry, people,

drink of water in order to make her
happy and contented" Her trial mar
riages worked to perfection until
finally one evening both Of them met
at her home at the same time and
then there was an awful time. The
men jumped at each other like unto
two blood-thirsty maddened, fighting
bulldogs and they came near break
ing TIP and destroying everything Of
any value in her finely furnished
apartment and the lady was forced
to call Up the police and force both
Of her trial husbands out of her home.
Some OF the readers of this article
may contend that the picture is over
drawn or colored up too dark. but that
is not true, for there are many scenes
like these, all over this city among
those who believe in secret or trial
marriages.
In this connection it can Be truly
said that despite the fact that news
papers are the most dangerous things
in the world to fool with, yet thou
sands Of people will dump all of their
family troubles Or secrets into the
ears Of editors.
Many times we say to them: "Why
do you tell me about your family
secrets, your scandals, your unsavory
conduct?' And they generally reply
BY saying: I'VE have confidence in
you and know that you will never
breathe them to any other Living
being And, come to think of it, the
late Col William Jennings Bryan
while addressing the newspaper men at
Clinton Iowa, several years before his
death, among other things, declared
newspapermen than any other class oi
American citizens; that in his long
experience in dealing with them he
never came in contact with but two
Of them who had violated his conf
dence-" That is one reason why Sc
many people greatly delight to pour
all Of their family secrets and troubles
inte the ears Of newspapermen.
In conclusion, if editors would pub
lish scandals involving i'm moral
preachers, as well as other prominent
church members, and the unsavory
doings Of other hardened respectable
sinners, those who claim to be law
fully married, they. the editors, would
wake up the dead, and murder and
suicide would stalk broadcast through
out the land.

and other black and horrible and re-
voting crimes follow in the wake Of
trial or secret marriages. Only a few
years. ago a highly cultivated young
colored lady, who was attending one
Of the highest educational institutions
in this city, without letting her parents
know one thing about it, ran off and
entered into secret marriage with
her girlhood lover and for over one
year they successfully succeeded in
preventing their parents on either side
from knowing one thing about it, until
finally they became bolder and bolder
in their loving and embracing in the
dark corners Of their homes. One
evening the father of the young lady,
who was quite wealthy, returned home
rather suddenly and the first thing he
beheld on entering his fine home was
his highly accomplished daughter and
her unknown husband to him hugging
and kissing to beat the band, and
without waiting one minute, he hauled
off, jolted him two or three uppercuts
in the jaw and ordered him otit OF
his home
The young lady ran out Of her home
in order to save her life. In the mean
time her father cut her off in his will
before the mother of the young lady
was able to induce her husband to
relent and forgive their daughter for
her rash or thoughtless act, and as
time passed, her father began to look
at things in different light When he
had finally made up his mind to permit
his only daughter to return to her
home, he was suddenly taken i'll and
passed on cut Of this world. His wife
and daughter are still mourning his
death, for his doctor claimed that too
much excitement and worry caused his
death. That was sad secret marriage

CAPT. NICHOLAS HUNT RANKS
AMONG THE OLDEST SUB
SCRIBERS TO THIS
NEWSPAPER

September /, 1899, Capt Nicholas
Hunt, who is one of the greatest thief
catchers in the world and an unrelent-
ing foe to criminals, began his sub
scription to this newspaper and dur
ing all those years he has promptly
paid his subscription To it.
Each Saturday the paper finds its
way into his lovely home at 5732 Ken
wood avenue AT that time Capt.
Hunt was Inspector Of the Hyde Park
police district and he ran everything
on the square in connection with his
inspectorship. He would not permit
his officers to beat up colored people
and throw them in jail just for the
funp Of it. without just cause and
when it became known that he adhered
to that policy he became the most
popular police official in Chicago.
Thousands Of colored people in all
sections Of this city have from that
time to the present looked upon him
as one of their truest friends.
Some fourteen years ago Capt. Hunt
severed his connection with the police
department Of Chicago and established

Not 50 long ago, while the writer
was visiting one Of the branches Of the
Municipal Court Of Chicago and was
engaged in conversation with the
Judge. just as he was winding up bust
ness for the day, very beautifully
looking co1ored lady very proudly
stalked tip to the bench, holding her
head high TIP in the air The Judge
looked down on her for few moments
and slowly said; MY good lady, what
seems to be the trouble with you?"
The lady responded, Judge, I want
to get a divorce from my husband" "
Unmindful of the fact that Municipal
Court Judges cannot sit in judgment
on divorce cases and the Judge smil-
ingly said, Lady, Oh what grounds
do YOU want a divorce?" and the ele-.
giant lady replied, "On these grounds
right here" The Judge spoke up and
said, Lady, does your husband treat
you we'll and take care of you in good
shape?" The lady shot back at the
Judge and loudly exclaimed He had
better treat me right for I will have
him arrested if he fails to do So"
Then the Judge came back at her
once more and said, Lady, you admit
that your husband treats you well and
turns over his earnings to you every
Saturday and provides good home
for you all the time, then, why do you
want divorce from him." The lady
paused for just one moment, then she
filled the eyes Of the Judge full OF salt
and pepper by replying. Judge, 7 have
no more taste for my husband, that's
the reason l want divorce from him. \
In this rapid age It seems that the
vast majority Of married couples, both
white and colored, have seemingly lost
their taste for each other, hence the
great rush all the time to the divorce
courts on the slightest provocation and
from the divorce courts there is only
one step to secret and trial marriages,
which seem to Be constantly on the
increase in Chicago.
