Habenicht Delighted Large
.'. Crowd at Elizabeth. y
. The Elizabeth College auditorium
last night was filled to its utmost by
the literary element o the cityto wit
Bess the graduating reading recital by
Miss Lula Habenicht, who re5rj'''an
hour and, twenty minutes-tvTt untir
ing, energy and greatTterest. It is
unusual foragjJdat in- a college to
give an eirtrre' recital ajid this fact,
coupled Vh: the excellency of the pro-
makes us appreciate more than
the school of: expression5- The. possi
bilities". f the reading are: we real
ize, that the artist must be true to her
self and to her audience; we recog
nize life's incompleteness and the as
surance of 'ultimate attainment of ourj
aspirations. ', i
Miss Habenicht is natural and grace
ful on the platform and is very attrac
tive. She, is a young woman of ster
ling character, the prerequiste of good
reading. Her program was varied and
grought into play many hundred con
trasting" emotions.
In "Uncle Isrul's Call" she inculca
ted 1 the use of common sense in de-
neating the negro character, avoid
ing the pmmon practice of permit
ting the dialect ; to obscure the
thought. In "The Mustard Plaster!
we learned from her that we must
indeed "become little children" in or
der to truthfully .interpret child life
and sayings. ' In the intense and dra
matic selection "Victory Versus Life''
she: gave evidence of "great concentra
tion of mind and portrayed the race
so vividly that the audience fairly
arose from their seats with excite
ment. "
Miss Blanche Nanetta Williams, di
rector of the school or expession may
congratulate herself upon the success
of her student. In introducing her,
Miss Williams said: "The motto, of
the department of literary interpreta
tion is seeking truth seeing truth
and bursting to give it utterance. The
platform may claim your individual
attention for a short hour this even
ing, but it is not attention we seek ;
is not towering heights to wheh
we aspire; it is not noonety in the
public eye we crave; that is not
enough; but we are striving for the
intrinsic element inculcating the
ideals of life. The power to read is
merely to the result of technical train
ing and the standard of scholarship
and truth. ,
"To thine own self be true and it
must follow as the nigbJto the day
thou canst not then be false to any
man."
THE RECORDER'S COURT
Cases Heard This Morning in the City
Court.
For more than an hour this morning
the Recorder's court was engaged in
the trial of Albright Barber and Belle
Taylor two well known negroes, who
were charged with living together
without being married.
Maggie BarberlttTcaulsed the arrest
of her truant husband testified to a
state of facts .that would have broughtl
conviction h?.d she been corroborated
by any one of the numerous witnesses
that were offered. After hearing all the
evidence the Recorder dismissed the
defendants because of lack of evidence
Richard Caldwell the negro charged
with selling whiskey was given a hear
ing this morning. There was little if
any evidence to convict, therefore the
defendent was discharged.
R. T. Gossett, was fined $5 and the
costs for a "plain drunk.
A. Mr. Ottinner who has been ped
dling pen points over the city . was
arrested, charged with carrying on his
business without the proper hcensa.
He was allowed to go on the payment
of the license tax.
Attempted Burglary.
An unknown party attempted ' to
break into the meat mar.ket of Mr.
W. H. Stilwell, at No. 807 East -Sev
enth street last night. The lock on
the front door was broken. : The thief
was evidently frightened away by
some one passing as it woum - nave
an easy matter to gain an entrance
through the door after the lock was
broken.

BRAIN FOOD AND REPAIRER
Every minister, lawyer, journalist,
physician, author, or business man isj
forced under pressure of modern con-j
ditions to the active and sometimes
over-active use of the brain.
Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash,
separating it from the heavier com
panion, albumen, and plain common
sense teaches , ; that this elemental
principle must be introduced into the
body anew each day, if we would re
place the loss and rebuild the brain
tissue.
We know that the phospate of. pot
ash, as presented in certain field
grains, has an affinity for albumen
and that ds, the. only way gray matter
in the biik.fcab bef builtv-' Tt .will net
answer to take the crude phosphate
of potash of the drug shop, for nature
rejects it. The elemental mineral
must be presented through food direct
ly from Nature's laboratory.
These facts have been made use of
in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts, and
any brain worker can prove the value
of the proper selection of food by mak-
in free use of Grape-Nuts for ten days
or two weeks. Sold by grocers every
where (and in immense quantities).
