Sunday Is Press Day At The Forum Look For The Fireworks THE LADY OF THE WESTERN WORLD Mme Florence Cole-Talbott Los Angeles' Favorite Prim a Donna PHONE MAIN 1594 Volume 27 Sunday Is Mme Florence Cole-Talbott Los HANN'S JUBILEE SINGERS. An aggregation of seven colored singers and musicians who have been touring the West for the past seven years with continued success. It was formerly under the direction of the Midland Lyceum Bureau of Des Moines, Iowa. Mr. W. A. Hann, operatic basso and manager, is well known throughout this country and Canada, not only for his ability to please as a singer, but for his splendid attainments as a business manager. His rendition of "Old Black Joe" is a pleasing interpretation. Mr. Hann hails from Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was called the "sable-skinned Ernest Gamble" by those of authority. Miss Mayme Morrison, contralto, formerly of Springfield, Ohio, is considered one of Chicago's leading singers. She possesses a good voice of much warmth and depth. Mrs. W. A. Hann, also of Chicago, is a capable assistant as second soprano. Mr. George R. Garner, Jr., tenor soloist, is a native of Chicago, with a remarkable voice of dramatic quality and power, who never fails to win his audiences. His readings in Negro dialect are a special feature. Mr. Howard Berry, second tenor, of Kansas City, Mo., does his A CREDIT TO OUR CITY. In our last issue we featured the Sidney P. Dones Company, and we have received many compliments for the manner in which we exploited the same. Now it is indeed a pleasure to us to present the members of our race who are really Doing Something, to the end that they may do more. This young man Dones is a credit to the business forces of Los Angeles. Step by step he has built a business which is a high credit not only to himself and the race, but to the city itself, and we are always glad to sing the praises of such men wherever found. The California Eagl part in adding zest to the singing, both in the jubilee and male quartette numbers. Mr. Wendell P. Talbert of Wilberforce, Ohio, serves as accompanist for the organization and also adds to the program with his 'cello solos. He received his musical training at Oberlin Conservatory, where he was the only Colored student to play in the orchestra. Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert, prima donna, is well known to Los Angeles, both as a student—as soloist in the L. A. H. S. Glee Club and College of Music student of U. S. C.—as a teacher of piano and as a popular singer. In the four years that she has been absent from this city she has been heard in recital in several of the larger cities of the East and has been distinguished as "a singer of rare ability with a clear voice of much sweetness and power," as Oley Speaks, composer, wrote in the Ohio State Journal concerning her. These singers will be heard in grand concert at the First A. M. E. church, Wednesday evening Dec. 16, for the first time, and also at Trinity Auditorium, Friday, Dec. 18, under the auspices of the C. E. Union. They will sing the quartet from Rigololet by Verdi as their special operatic number. COLEMAN MADE GOOD. J. W. Coleman started the fall a-rolling at the forum on efficiency and ever since there has not been a dull moment for want of something tangible, to get busy on for racial advancement. His paper was one of the best of the many forceful efforts before this body. It was void of the usual clap trap and excessive verbage and got right down to brass tacks on the problems which confront the race, which are more apparent at this particular time than ever. So be it known that the ever ready Coleman made good with a vengeance. THE JITNEY BUSES INAUGURATE JIM CROW The Colored citizens should by all means taboo the jitney buses, and stick to the yellow line for their rides throughout the city for many reasons. The first and principal reason is that they, the latest freak as common carriers, have inaugurated a Jim Crow reign in this city. Secondly, suppose you happen to get hurt, as many are doing daily, what chance have you to recover anything from a jitney bus owner? Another reason, the railway has invested millions to give our city a system that employs thousands, have built a great city and would not for a moment put in vogue Jim Crow principles unless they were compelled to do so by such men as those who are endeavoring to foist the same on our citizens, namely, the Jitney Bus Owners. So we trust that our citizens will not endeavor to enrich the men who are putting over this system. But at the first opportunity at the ballot box you will get your chance to hit them and hit them hard. PRESS DAY AT THE FORUM Sunday at the Forum has PRESS DAY.

The CALIFORNIA EAGLE and the NEW AGE will furnish the fire works for the occasion, which will consist of a breezy program by the Knights and Daughters of the Print Shop. Then there will be heart to heart talks on the duty of the press to the people and the duty of the people to the press. It should be an interesting occasion, and we promise all who attend will profit thereby. With Some Exceptions, However The following clipping from the Milwaukee Defender, via the Topeka Plaindealer, with some exceptions hits hard at existing conditions within the race. And a round to some of the free and easy places in Los Angeles will convince the most skeptical the role that the young regro is playing for race progress- Hon. J. D. Cook, the enterprising editor of the Milwaukee (Wis.) Defender, prints an interview winn one of the factory owners of his town which is not only interesting, but contains many undeniable facts. In his rounds Mr. Cook called upon the gentleman to ascertain the reason that colored men were not given employment in his factory, and the following is editor Cook's account of the conversation: We visited a large shoe factory, where we interviewed the President as why he did not have a few colored men employed at the factory, as we buy shoes the same as other people. Here is what he had to say: "Your people won't do. Just as fast as you get a few dollars you take it down to old John's place and shoot craps till it's all gone. Then you come back to your job the next day unfit to work. You must teach your people that they cannot stay up all night around crap tables and expect to compete with white men who are prepared to render efficient service each day. I have nothing against your people and would employ colored men, but they are unreliable. In our club meeting the other night your people were discussed. "Your people must save their money and buy homes and start into business of some kind. Look at the foreign element? When they come to this country they cannot even speak the language. In a few years they are operating business. "I was born in this town, and I can remember when nothing but colored people lived in the Fourth ward. How much property did they buy? Not a single foot, and they had a chance to buy property cheap in those days. Now they are paying big rents in alleys and in tumbled down shacks. "Your people are not making any progress. Thirty years ago my old man helped your churches and the same men POOR POOR ORIGINAL R. Tite's Cosmo politan Cafe Mr. R.

"I went to this church one night just to see for myself how many attended. There were twenty-two women five men and the preacher who was pleading for, "just a dime to make it for dollars." Leaving the church, I visited a certain saloon. The place was crowded with old and young, and the way they were spending their money would have made Rockerfeller look sick. Your preachers should fight the evils among your race. The white people are not going to do it; they do not care how low your people sink in vice and crime. "Before we had time to speak, his big touring car drove up and he bade us good bye, saying, "young man go and think it over!" Philips' Chapel News----1406 Newton Street.

McCoy, president, has had wide experience in sections of the country where great numbers of our people have made untold success, and because of his experience as preacher and teacher among the same, his sympathies are broad and his intellectual insight keen. The other officers also are all men with big experience in the religious walks of life. The good people of Fresno are to be congratulated upon the manner in which they entertained the brethren. Many thanks were tendered Rev. Arline and his congregation at the end of the service. After a most interesting session the convention adjourned to meet again May 18, 1915. Chief Sam's Ship Sunk It may interest the friends of Chief Sam to learn that his ship "The Liberia" was sunk by the German cruiser Emden in the early part of October in the Indian ocean with sixty souls aboard, while en route to the gold coast and flying the British flag. The Weekly New of Sierra Leone gives quite an interesting account of the tragedy. JOHN E. BRUCE. Yonkers, N. Y., Nov. 24. Mrs. Jackson and daughters of Sacramento are visiting her mother Mrs. Bidney during the winter months. ALL CALIFORNIA SHOULD READ "Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth" This is a great, inspiring, helpful volume—just the book to be appreciated as a Christmas token. It not only gives a straightforward narrative of the life of one of the sweetest, noblest and most charming characters in Negro history, but it also contains the story of the awful system of slavery and the progress of the Negro race under freedom. There is a keen, interest-gripping moral philosophy running through the volume as convincing as it is fascinating. The book containing over 400 pages, is bound in silk cloth and sells by mail for $1.70. Our readers may obtain this book for $1.50 and save the postage by calling at the office of THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE SOCIETY NOTES. BY J. J. JOSEPHS. The J. C. Price Literary Society will attempt to dislodge the West Side Dunbar Literary Society from its exalted position as champion debators of Los Angeles, Friday evening December 18th, at the A. M. E. Zion Church. There is quite a rivalry existing between the two societies and they intend to array their best talent against each other. The debate will be bitterly contested every inch of the way. Everybody is invited to come down and listen, and enjoy. A spicy program will be rendered in addition to the debate. Johnny Brooks, one of the most well known young men of Los Angeles, was shot in Oakland last Thursday and died from the effects of the wound Friday. The deceased was employed as entertainer by the proprietors of the Montgomery Cafe in Oakland, and upon entering the place last Thursday morning he was followed by one Dave Logan and shot from behind. His body was brought back to Los Angeles, and after the funeral services at Wesley Chapel was interred at Evergreen Cemetery. Mr. Brooks leaves a mother, sister and two brothers to mourn his loss. The West Side Dunbar Literary Society met at the Westminster Presbyterian Church Tuesday evening. Owing to the many present the little church could hardly accommodate them. After the roll call the matter of a debate with the J. C. Price Literary Society was placed before the house and it was decided that the Society would debate with the J. C. Price Literary Society on Friday evening December 18th, at the A. M. E. Zion Church. The subject will be Resolved, that the city should own and control the street railway. Mr. J. J. Josephs and Mr. Geo. Beayers, jr., will support the negative side for the Dunbar Society. After a few minor details a very auspicious program was rendered much to the delight of those present. Mr. Bass, the editor of the California Eagle, was among the spectators and after being introduced by Mr. J. J. Josephs in a brief yet comprehensive way commended the work being done by the society. At this juncture the meeting adjourned until next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. The Ladies' Club has planned to give a formal reception and dance at Blanchard Hall Friday BY CHARLES ALEXANDER this is a great, inspiring, helpful volume, to be appreciated as a Christmas token.

Guess who hugged a hot rod in attorney Tyler's office. Tuesday morning. Guess who was dissatisfied because her special fellow did not accompany her home Monday night. Guess who took 'up the most space at the literary meeting on the west side Tuesday night. Guess who was out with two young ladies Tuesday night with only 10 cents in his pockets. Guess who won't go with any one but a trained nurse. Venice, Ocean Park, Santa Monica J. ALLEN REESE. A. L. Reese, the Abbott-Kinney Co.'s decorator, is building a handsome bungalow at the corner of 6th and Santa Clara, Venice. Rev. J. A.

Faut, which is the center of the colored population of Venice. Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Trimble are complimenting themselves for having made Venice their domicile.

Church, on corner Vernon and Kensington. Rev. N. P. Greggs, the Pastor of the First A. M. E. Church in Los Angeles, will deliver the emancipation address. This will be the 52nd anniversary of the freedom of the slaves in the United States. The committee has made a wise choice in securing Dr. Greggs to deliver the address on this occasion. Also a fine programme has been arranged for the evening's pleasure. The committee has not left a stone unturned to make this celebration surpass all former ones. The Spanish-American War Veterans have been invited to attend in a body, and all State Societies. Don't forget the time and place S. B. CARR, Chairman. CHARLEY PRINCE, Sec. Rev. W. C. Dyatt continues to remain ill, but we hope for his recovery. Rev. G. W. Bussey is filling the pulpit at present. Who is to be the pastor of Scott Chapel? No church can successfully run without a leader. Who is to fill the place left vacant by the late Dr. W. R. R. Duncan? The sad news reaches us from Los Angeles telling us of the death of Mr. William Strothers. He was for a long time a resident of Pasadena, and was at that time the husband of Mrs. Cora Cambell now in Los Angeles. Mr. Strother died at the hospital and was buried from the First A. M. E. Church Saturday last, December 6th. Mr. Harry Burton, for many years a cab driver in this city, is reported to be doing well at the county hospital. where he has been for some time. All the world admires game endurance of hardship and adversities; it has only contempt for those who whine or quit. So keep on trying. There are many enterprising colored people in Los Angeles. Among the business establishments we see the Sidney P. Dones Co. in the Germain building. Mr. Dones is a young man of 26 summers. He married one of Georgia's most charming daughters about 18 months ago, so we think that Texas and Georgia should make a strong team. So quit saying "race, race," but get in the race. Behind many innocent eyes lies is a false soul who are playing the devil at home and the angel outside of it. Prize fighting was killed in the State by 86,172 majority; no more poll tax carried by 103,406; Maj. G. W. Woodbury got 96,287 votes in the State. He was the only colored candidate on the State ticket. The presentation of Mr. Joseph H. Douglass at the A. M. E. Church by the Dumas Lyceum Bureau, on Monday evening, was a grand success. The eminent violinist was well received, as many wanted to see the grand-son of the great Frederick Douglass. The audience seemed pleased beyond measure. He was assist-d by our own local talent. Each number was well received. The singing by Miss Ethyle L. Miller was good. She greatly earned the fame of being a great singer. Mrs. Corine B. Hicks' solo entitled her to high rank among the singers; a sweeter voice never charmed a Pasadena audience. She carried the house by storm; and Miss Hart is said by many to be the best ever heard on Dunbar, and Mr. Douglass will never lack an audience in this city if he comes again. Mr. William Prince, a prime favorite in Pasadena, said many good things about the Dumas Lyceum. Too much praise cannot be given Dr. A. C. Garrett and Edith F. M. Roberts, Nash, Darden, and of the officers: VICE PRESIDENTS FROM LOS ANGELES. Aty's H. E.MacbethJ. S. Webb, W. O. Tyler, E. T.Hubbart, Charley S.Darden, A. C. Williams, John H. Kelly, J. T.

My Newspaper is a marvelous sight, As I read its columns grm left to right; 'Tis then I feel a real delight, As the "Eagle" makes its newsy flight, Think of it! $2.00 a year, It comes to me rainy days or clear: That editor—must be just a Dear, To send all my eyes all the way here. Behold! deaths, births, marriages all, One by one, before my eyes do fall: Here's a notice of the college football; This store, displays the best styles for Fall. Promotions, killed, or sudden wealth, Here's a good tonic to renew your health, Bank robbed with shrewdest stealth! Sermon for Sunday, "Know Thyself." Stocks for sale, teeth crowned with gold; The largest ranch in the country was sold. Also, the great clairvoyant will unfold The future as never before was told. Thus, as a panorama I view the land, With its joys and griefs on every hand, I see the desert's burning sand, And view a wrecked vessel off yonder strand. Ah! a truth is brought home to my mind, As I read an item, and here I find A broken heart, which ne'er will bind, But must live on and bear life's grind. My paper, I fondly fold with care For its message to me is one most rare It pictures Life's burden divided, share by share; And each his own part must patiently bear. By GERTRUDE THOMAS HAMILTON, Stockton, Calif. Tabernacle Baptist Church News There meets every Friday evening after the Bible Class in the pastor's study what is known as A Class of Expression, where those who desire can learn how to properly read and pronounce their words. It has proven very beneficial to those who attend and new members are being added. It is very interesting. The pastor occupied the pulpit as usual on Sunday morning, his subject peing the motto text of the Sunday school lesson, "Why Seek Ye the Living Among the Dead." The attendance was good and many visitors were present. The choir was at its best both morning and evening. The evening service the pastor spoke on "Self Examination" and made us understand that we should examine ourselves to know as to whether we had actually been born of God before taking the Lord's Supper. After which, for the first time in the history of the church, the Lord's Supper was served in individual glasses to the delight of many. Among the visitors at the evening services were Miss Bidney and sister, Mrs. Jackson and two daughter of Sacramento, Rev. Ross of Victorville reported having organized a Baptist church there. Rev. Cooper of San Bernardino stopped in to pay a visit to the Bible class on Friday night and made a few brief remarks concerning his work there. We hope to have him with us again soon. The Christian Aid Society of this church has taken on new life and has increased its membership with at least 35 or 40 new members within the last two months. Under the leadership of Bro. Hickman and Mrs. Leggett it is doing much good to those who are sick and need aid. All visitors and strangers welcome to our church services. ```markdown ``` WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS Is long, soft and Beautiful hair. My Scalp Treatments and Hair Grower will positively grow your hair.

The people are not boiling over with any extra enthusiasm, however. Zapata and Villa, President Wilson's heroes, have now taken charge of affairs in Mexico City and we all wonder if this is the end. The holidays are now upon us and we trust it shall be one long to be remembered, that we can even in the face of adverse conditions hail its coming and going with joyous acclaim. Nick Chiles and Nelson Crews are having a great time telling each other "What's What," and we all look on, so far we judge the bout a draw. Nick kicks out of the traces at will. Nels only wavered once and then it was not for democracy and hard times. The Colored citizens of the state and all others who are interested in seeing justice prevail in the Fincher murder case can now act and be of great help by contributing their mite to the end that the case may be reopened. The Eagle is now and will receive contributions for that purpose. ADVERTISING PAYS From the Scrap Book by J. D. Reynolds. Eagle correspondent How few colored people who comprehend the mission of the colred news paper. And how less the number that understand its position. To the average colored person the colored newspaper is simply a most convenient medium through which his everlasting pride and egotism may be puffed up and perhaps his own opinion of himself handed down to the masses who know little of him and care far less. These people individually, or in organizations seek advertisements more or less gratuitous. Recognizing the value of the colored newspaper they come to them to advertise their business or "affairs," but many are not willing to pay for the service given. They would have their advertisements and puffs personal and otherwise—travel, through the paper's medium, into the portals of every respectable home. But they are not willing to pay for the privilege. The newspaper has spent thousands of dollars building up a circulation, but these "patriotic" parasites would have it given them gratis. Is this because the colored newspaper is the most potent defender of the colored cause and patronizing it honestly would be supporting the most effective weapon in the hands of the colored race in its fight against Caucasian injustitude and murderous discrimination? These are white men's reasons, but is it possible that they affect the otherwise incomprehensible actions of some of our Colored "patriota," As a weapon for defense and for the dissemination of truth about the colored race and the refutation of the all too frequent and injurious lies against the the race, the colored newspaper deserves the heartfelt support in Voluntary Contributions of every Colored Citizen Laboring Under Injunction of this Ceun- 4 butions. But is the colored press whim- ing and begging for this—its right? No, indeed, all it asks is fair and honest treatment—for battling day and night, challenging measure and refuting lies, it simply asks a square and honest deal from the race it defends, and yes, protects! But how often does it get this? How many are there who are willing to support it even by subscription in exchange for the news it gives, or by advertisements in exchange for the circulation it carries? In fact how many are willing to pay for what they get in uews and advertisements.—Amsterdam News. BAKERSFIELD NOTES Clarence G. Wilson was seriously burnt last Monday week at 12:30 a.m. at the home of Mrs. Lightner, where he was employed. The origin of the fire is not known.

The Dunbar Literary On last Tuesday the editor visit ed the Dunbar Literary which meets at the Westminister Presbyterian church, corner of 35th Place and Denker avenue. We found the same crowded to the full capacity of the church; all intensely interested in a splendid program which was highly interesting and a credit.

Zion Church last Sunday, at the morning service, the pastor preached, and at the evening service Rev. M. E. Taylor, the evangelist, preached a most excellent sermon Both of the services were largely attended. Sunday, December 13, Rev. M. E. Taylor will occupy the pulpit, and she will deliver a special sermon to the women of the city Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Let every woman who can possibly do so be present at this special woman's service. This will be Rev. M. E. Taylor's farewell service in this city, and she will leave early next week for her home in Yonkers, New York. The Kansas-Missouri Cafe continues to please the people and it is indeed one of the best places to eat in the city. he ladies federated clubs met at the Friendship Baptist Church Wednesday in Passaonia. It was an all-day meeting and a very interesting programme was rendered. Mrs. Dodge of San Diego, State President, was there and presided. MR. and MRS. Sol Lovitt, of Oakland, are in the city at the bedside of his grandmother, Mrs. Leah Graham, who is suffering from a stroke of paralysis since last Friday. The reception tendered the famous violinist, Frederick Douglas, jr., was a howling success. Mrs. Mary Lovitt of Vincent street is reported as seriously ill. She is a sister of Mrs. A. Alexander of E. 9th street. Edward Davis, better known as "money tree," a former employee of the Salt Lake roilroad, died at the county hospital Wedaeday evening, and was buried from Robrts' undertaking parlors Friday morning at 10 o'clock. It is rumored that some certain boys or men are figuring on collecting enough jewelry from the girls to start a jewelry shop with. The Pasadena foot-ball team is crying for another chance at the Los Angeles boys, who defeated them in a Thanksgiving game. The manager of 'the Angels' team regrets very much that he cannot give Pasadena a return game this year, because the team is disorganized. Drew, Johnson, Kimbrough and a few other players will not be able to play any more this year. Drew and Johnson will run at Pasadena New Years day, and can not take any chance on being injured in the game. Kimbrough's work will prevent him from playing; and so it was decided to abandon the gridiron until next season. There as no tear of a defeat back of their decision; but foot ball is over this season. Mr. Clarence Bluett, a colored lad of this city and formerly a student of L. A. High, is now attending Manual Arts high. Bluett is a great athlete, in fact he is the best shot putter in Southern Califo nia. Manual Arts is sure of first place in the shot put, with Bluett competing. The Eagle is still looking for those poems, and stories, that we have been crying for so long. Drew and Bailey issued a challenge to Pasadena to play a tennis match during the Christmas vacation. The challenge was accepted, and the time and place will be announced later. Thus far the denders of Pasadena's honor on courts are unanimous. Mr. H. Johnson our foot-ball star of the University of Southern California, sustained a broken finger last Thursday afternoon, while practicing base ball. Johnson has been rather unlucky this year; in the foot ball game between the freshman and the 'varsity teams, he was injured; at Whittier he received a very severe injury on his right arm. These injuries were about well, and now he has a broken finger. Gee, that is bad luck. ```markdown ``` Young's New Store ENTIRE STORE DONE IN TILE OPEN IN TIME FOR XMAS TRADING Milk-Fed Poultry, Fish and Oysters German Xmas Specialties Cooked by Chas.

The club had planned its dinner party for Thanksgiving, but some unexpected things happened, causing a postponement. Mrs. Thompson who prepared the menu for the young people, deserves great credit for the way she handled everything. Although we know that whenever the young people want to do anything Mrs. Thompson is always the first one to lend a hand. Speaking and music featured after the dinner. After giving Mrs Thompson a rising vote of thanks, the merry crowd left for home with something to be remembered for many moons. Popular Society Ladies Entertained. Mrs. L. Freeman, Hostess. Mrs. Estella Roberts-Saunders and Miss Mamie Cunningham, popular Society ladies of Los Angeles, were entertained by Mrs. Freeman Saturday night. The evening was spent in dancing and whist playing. Cards were laid for the Misses C. White, L. Marshall; B. Wilson, M. Cunningham, Michell M. White, F. Ellis and Mrs. Saunders, Mrs. McDonald; also the Messrs F. Ellis, L. White, M. White, F. Douglas, G. A. Ramsey, F. Cloud, J. Cloud, D. Roche, and R. Walton McDonald. Mr. Walton won first prize for the gentlemen, while Mrs. Estella Roberts Saunders won the other. All spent a very pleasant time and expressed their gratitude to Mrs. Freeman. Noted Musician Appears. Recital Grand Success. San Diego music lovers were treated with an extraordinary treat Friday evening at Germania Hall, when Joseph Douglass, great-grand son of Hon. Frederick Douglas, made his first appearance in the Exposition City. A large crowd was on hand to greet the noted musician. His playing fascinated his audience. Mrs. Estelle Roberts-Saunders and Miss Mamie Cunningham accompanied Mr. Douglass to this city. After visiting the fair grounds and all points of interest, the two trio left on the 3 o'clock train for the Angel City. WE ALL HAVE TIME NOW TO BOOST FOR PROGRESS The elections are now over for a while at least, and we can now all line up for the progress of the community in which we live and for the continued progress of the race. The election personally to the colored voters was of small moment, as they are no way to figure in any of the emoluments incident thereto. It is only in a general way that they share in the benefits or the adversities of the result of the campaign just closed. So therefore we are all now in line to take advantage of the better times which we verily believe are at hand. And it is along the lines of business activity that we are most concerned in the future progress of the race in this community. California by natural environment is the most prosperous spot in the entire country at the present time; and it is up to those who are here to share in the great possibilities that we should all boost and work to be of help one to the other for a continued progress. ```markdown ``` For Race Doings GUESS WHO Eat the most at the dinner party?

El Cajon Whitewashed It was the same story over again. Too much class spelled defeat for the valley teams. Little Willie Simpson pitched a two-hit game. Beside this remarkable feat he was the star at the bat, getting two triples, one double and a home run out of five times to bat. Edwards, better known as "sick man," played wonderful baal at first base. Too much credit cannot be given the teams for the great work they did Sunday. The final score was: El Cajon 1, Hornets 11. Batteries, Davis and Rosenberg for El Cajon, Simpson and Whiteside for the Hornets; umpires, Smith and Ramsey.

Church, of Stockton, Calif.) The achievements of all races have held in the aggregate much of the deeds of their women. The mothers of every race stand out boldly as the fashioners of their distinguished sons. And without the role of mother the women of every civilization have had their quota of the great deeds of the times to perform. Hence the colored women of the United States have contributed largely toward establishing their people as worthy of receiving treatment as men. The black man's burden at emancipation was to prove himself a man in the fullest sense of the word. His animal powers had been fully developed, and about which there was no controversy. He had long been his haster's umbrella, by performing labor that his master desired him to do. But this cunning fellow (his master) is order to still his conscience, and maintain his stand had loudly proclaimed that the black man had no mind; and that he was only a higher order of the brute. But when emancipation came as a direct answer to prayer, the Negro then found that his first and greatest task was proving himself able to enjoy or grasp the arts and sciences. In the first half century of freedom we find that the colored mon in every walk of life and in his onward march is accompanied by his colored sister. There were some rare instances of genius among the slaves, one of which is that of Phyllis Wheatley, who was purchased from the African slave market in Boston, Mass. She was purchased by a white lady, by the name of Wheatley, for a servant. But being of delicate constitution and very early showing signs of a brilliant mind, Mrs. Wheatley did what she could to have it cultivated. Therefore we find this little African girl at twenty years of age a wonder of the high and cultured of the times. After spending some time in England, where she was universally admired as much for her gentle manner as for her art of poetry. Phillis came home to her adopted mother only in time to soothe her last hours and close her eyes when she died Shortly after this Mr. Wheatley and his daughter both died, leaving Phillis, who had been as tenderly matured as her mistresses own daughter, alone in the world. She soon accepted an offer in marriage to a Mr. John Peters, but her marriage life was brief and unhappy. She died in the thirty-first year of her age, on December 5, 1784. Thus Phillis Wheatley proved to the world early in the cruel slavery days that the African women had that rare gift of genius to paint their imaginations in most splendid rhyme. It is a fact that Phillis Wheatley's poems are being read, admired and treasured as a precious gem of literary achievement to the civilized world. Another slave woman who has left her personality stamped in the warp and woof of the Negroes' who was first named Isabella by her mother. But in after years, feeling the force of her mission, named herself Sojourner Truth. She has been called the Libyan national life is our Sojourner Truth, Sybil. It is not known where she was born, but she was finally set free by a decree of the State of New York. We find her in the days preceding the civil war making herself felt in abolition meetings. It is said that she had marvelous power with God and man, and a gift of natural eloquence seldom equaled. She had no education whatever, but kept her friends very busy reading the Bible and answering her letters. At one time while attending an abolition meeting a storm came up, and a young Methodist minister arose and interrupted the speaker (Mrs. Parker Pillsbury) by saying that he feared God's PHOENIX MEAT MARKET D.

Here Sojourner's voice rose above the storm and she cried, "Child, do not be skeered; you are not gonnor be harmed; for I don't specks God ever hear-en tell ub ve." Frederick Douglas was speaking in Fannell hall during the darkest days of the Abolitionists, and he was very much discouraged. But he said that he was suddenly interrupted by Sojourner, who, lifting her long fore-finger and pointing directly at him, said, "Fred, is God dead?" That is all she said, but it was enough; for it fired his soul with such renewed interest that he championed the cause without fear until he saw its triumph, which was the cessation of slavery and the advent of freedom. When her life is reviewed it is often wondered what it would have been if she had received kind treatment, and a thorough education while young. She was instrumental in the emigration of our people to the west and north after emancipation. She finally passed to her reward at Battle Creek, Mich., in the year 1883. of the same, and it is to that end. Another character that we could not fail to mention, closely allied to the Abolition days, and the underground railroad, is in the person of Harriet Tubman. She was certainly a wonder of the age; brave as a lion, cunning as a Ceasar, and determined as an Alexander of Macedon. Frances E. Harper was another famous woman, who, in later days, used her charming voice to better the Negroes condition. She is known as an essayist and a lecturer of national fame. Ida B. Willis-Barnet is another woman who felt in the time of a crisis that she had a mission to perform. And right well did she publish abroad the iniquity of mob law. As an exponent of the art of elocution we have Miss Hallie Quinn Brown, who has traveled extensively in America and England, having appeared and performed before the late Queen Victoria. She has done much with her art Henrietta Vinton Davis, whose of elocution for her alma mater (Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio.) to further the education of our young people. fame is national as an elocutionist and reader of rare ability, is another of our famous colored women. Mrs. Amanda Smith of the Methodist church has preached with telling results, from one end of the country to the other, and also has visited the British Isles. Wherever she has been heard her power and personal magnetism had been keenly felt. Edmonia Lewis, the little Negro girl who exclaimed while looking at the statue of Franklin in the city of Boston, Mass., "I can make a stone man." She set to work to prove her ability as a sculpture, and being patronized and encouraged by such noted Englishmen as D. Israli while pursuing her studies in Rome. She has proven her prophesy true, and her name is enrolled on the list of fame, as master of an ancient classical art, sculpturing. The colored women are also famous in song, for there is Madam Selika, who is said to have possessed a sweeter voice, and one of greater compas than did the noted Jenny Lind. Madam Flora Batson Bergen is another who has charmed, and thrilled thousands with her sweet and mellow voice, being able to sing the most difficult classic composition from memory, not being able to read a note. All of us no doubt have enjoyed the sweet strains from the throat of Cisceretta Jones, better known as Black Patti. It is not absurd to say that the civilized world has recognized her rare ability as the foremost singer of the age. We should be false to our mission of naming the best known of our famous colored women should we fail to mention Ada Overton Walker, the most famous daseuse of the American stage, and ever recognized as such. Those who have given over their lives to social services are being ably led by Mmes. Booker T. Washington, Fannie Church Terrel, and Nannie Burroughs. Last but not least, we would appeal to the mothers of our race who amid adversity and persecution, have ever-admonished and urged their sons and daughters on to better things and higher life in the face of disheartening circumstances; to take renewed courage, and push the battle of race betterment through the very gates that open into the city of fame by accomplishment. HIGH OFFICIALS OF PULL MAN CO. MEET PORTERS Compand Holds Monster Meeting at Colored Y. M. C. A. Chicago, III. From the Scrap Book, by J. D Reynolds, Railroad Correspondent of the California Eagle. The large, spacious assembly hall of the colored Y. M. C. A. was filled to its capacity Monday, August 8th, when hundreds of employees of the various districts throughout the city assembled to hear lectures delivered by prominent officials of the company. Promptly at 10 o'clock Mr. L. S. Hungerford, general superintendent, delivered the opening address, which was somewhat brief. He was followed by Superintendent A. W. Giltzaw of the Southern District, who took for his next, "Service." Mr. Giltzaw's lecture varied little from the lectures which have been given by the various superintendents throughout the country, which by this time most men are familiar. Mr. J. A. Davis, chief service inspector, made a few remarks. On arising he was loudly applauded. Mr. Davis covered the same ground as Mr. Giltzaw. In his closing remarks some very timely advice was given the boys. In part he said: "You boys represent the Pullman company; you come in direct contact with the public it is up to you to be polite, courteous and obliging. Go about your duties with a smile on your face for the service in general depends on you. The porters we must have; we cannot do without you and another thing I wish to say is you come daily in contact with the meetings and all claim they were well repaid. With the final of these sessions marked the closing of the greatest and most successful of its kind in the annals of the railroad world. the best people in the land; then why is it many of you pick for your associates a lower class? many men frequent dives, saloons and gambling deus; come to the cars with intoxicants on their breath and too fatigued to give the proper service. The proper place for you is at home taking your rest. Many of you are selfish; you never think of the tired wife at home, the old mother or father who would enjoy an evening with you at a picture show. You must learn to save your money, pick your associates; you must consider yourself above common laborers just as other races do. In the eyes of the Creator one man is just as good as another, but among men we have classes. Would the wealthy or the well-to-do take for his associate the man who toils in the streets? No. Then you boys must make divisions the same way. I know the colored people. I lived in Missouri for twenty years. I know your weakest points as well as the strong ones. During the meeting many stringest rules were modified, such as being permissible to polish shoes in the working room, the wearing of skull caps, etc. Owing to the noon hour the meeting adjourned until Monday. Other officials present were Mr. J. P. Leach, superintendent of Eastern district, and representatives from Mr. C. C. Cox's office also Mr. W. H. White's. When Mr. Richmond Dean, the company's genial general manager, addressed the big Tuesday meeting and expressed his pleasure of seeing so many faces he had been familiar with for the past thirty years, and remarked that one man in the service was just as good an another, regardless of his color—white, black or yellow—he was loudly cheered. Although a man of few words, from personal interviews from time to time with Mr. Dean, we are confident he means just what he says. Then followed Mr. J. A. Davis, who remarked: "You boys represent the company. We cannot operate our cars without you." (Let us hope there is no individual so egotistical in his belief that his dismissal from the service would cause the company bankruptcy.) Your success means our success, and advising the men to save their money, avoid bad company, to be polite and courteous, also proves he takes personal interest in the boys. Coffee and sandwiches were served to all who cared to participate, compliments of the Pullman company. On the following Monday Mr. C. C. Cox held sway and another large and appreciative,crowd was out to greet him. Tuesday Mr. J. P. Leach, of the Eastern Division, spoke to a large and appreciative audience. Mr. Leach also spoke along yines to improve the service. So enthused were his listeners at time a pin could have been heard to fall upon the floor. At the close of his address he requested men to make any suggestions which might improve the service. He also requested the men to explain why many were guilty of stepping on the upholstery, wherein as Porter R. C. Tucker offered the excuse that the stepping box and ladders were unsafe, especially in the new cars, which were so much higher, heavier and harder to handle. The matter was taken under advisement. Mr. Leach also wished to know how men removed hats and other effects of passengers from hooks overhead. Some men replied by the aid of a cane, umbrella or ventilator stick. At this point the meeting was interrupted by one J. H. Moore, a Monon veteran. He wanted to know what should be done in case you were nearing a suburban station, you had a passenger to discharge, and none of the said weapons were at hand, then what was to be done? Mr. Leach asked, "what would you do?" J. H. was on the job and promptly replied, "I would get the hat." This brought a riot of cheer and laughter, for these words were well spoken. Porter Slaughter spoke of how men were forced to change their clothing in his district, which many other men have protested from time to time. Mr. Leach said owing to the station being an old one it could not be helped at this time, although the matter had been taken under advisement. Mr. Leach also complimented an article written by T. A. Crenshaw in the August number of the Review. I. P. Dozier, president of the Colored Railroad Men's Club and general agent for the Review, had a large number of copies on hand which were soon disposed of. DDuring the meeting Mr. R. Dean, L. S. Hungerford and Mr. J. A. Davis paid a short visit. All made short addresses, which were well received. Wednesday Mr. W. H. White spoke, which brought the meeting to a close. A GREAT BOOK ON THE NEGRO QUESTION NEGRO QUESTION By Prof. Charles Alexander Every reader of this journal should have a copy of "Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth," the great book just published by Sherman, French & Company of Boston, Mass., written by Prof. Charles Alexander of Los Angeles, California. This wonderful book contains the narrative of the life of Colonel Allen Allensworth, who rose from the lowest levels of degradation in slavery to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Regular Army of the United States, the highest rank yet attained by a colored man; and it also contains the history of the Negro race from the beginning of the slave trade in the United States up to the present time. This book is written in the most fascinating style, with bits of moral philosophy and sound wisdom, altogether admirable. It is intensely interesting to readers of every class. It is one of the really great books on the Negro question—a most valuable contribution to our historical literature. Orders sent to Prof. Charles Alexander, 502 Thorpe Building, Los Angeles, California, will be given prompt attention. The book contains over 400 pages and sells for $1.70 postage prepaid. Books of this kind usually sell for $3.00. Agents wanted. Mr. Slaughter, wife, daughter and son arrived in the city Wednesday morning from New York city. They expect to make this city their home. They are living at this time at 1608 W. 36th Pl. INITIAL WORK MUSIC DEPARTMENT Instructors: Prof. H. H. Instructor of Voice and Piano Prof. J. F. Baker, Teache tral Music.

THOMPSON Since the meeting of the Nationa Negro Business League in Muskogee last summer, occasioned by the speech of Booker T. Washington, to delegates to that body to cease fighting segregation measures, the Negro press has in some parts of the country been somewhat bitter in their denunciation of Mr. Washington and his doctrine. It would seem from reading some of these scathing comments on Mr. Washington's speech that in the majority of cases some misconstruction has been placed on his real meaning in the matter. There is no doubt but that there are many intelligent people throughout the country that would profit through the advice of Mr. Washington, if they would work out the plans that he outlines. When Booker T. Washington advised the delegates to the Negro Business League to "stop fighting segregation laws, and get more property and more sense," it was mighty sound doctrne, a doctrine that I do not think that anyone of intelligence could scarely be offended at. Too many of us are too quick to take offense at the right thing where, if in many instances we would look into, and thoroughly analyze the question presented, we would be greatly benefitted thereby and be enabled to speak the good word to someone else. The matter of a people securing their rights is something that every man and woman of the right thought will commend, but when we come to view thing from a business standpoint, is there not many ways in which we can improve our condition other than by fighting? I believe if we look around us we can find every day, in almost every community, some step upward that may be gained through mediums other than aggressiveness. It is good and well to assume the offensive in the right thing, but too many of us are too willing to fight the wrong thing; if we could get it into our minds to fight the things that are doing us the greatest injury we would have little time to criticize Booker T. Washington. The Negroes in the large cities who have comfortable, palatial homes did not secure them through constant warring with the white people, but through industriousness, thrift and good common sense. It is true that in some cities and different parts of the country the progressive Negro has met with some opposition, on the part of the white people, but I believe this trouble is easily eradicated when the whites see that the Negro is all right and means business. In almost every city there are districts that have a large Negro population; these districts I can say here in the Middle West was not necessarily forced upon the Negro, but the Negro has forced himself upon the district, because he likes to live there. In another quarter of the city you may find another type, the intelligent Negro, who has acquired property, wealth and a high standing in the world, who in many instances haggle-residing in a white neighborhood, because the whites are afraid the other class of Negroes will try to work their way into their midst. In the first case we must notice that in these populous districts just a few years back, the Negro could have acquired at a reasonable figure the greater portion of the property which he is paying rent on now, but he did not have that insight into the future possibilities of the country that the white man had. The thought that Booker T. Washington advances is very timely, "to quit thinking of the parts of the cities that can't be lived in, but begin to beautify the parts that can be lived in." This will apply to many of us, both in the country and the cities; it is advice that we all should need and endeavor to profit thereby. There is more progress to be made in fighting immorality than segregation; if in these objectionable districts three Negroes out of every ten would put half that they spend with the saloon into soap and scrub brushes, into paint and paint brushes, we would soon see a new order of things. Let us clean up and beautify the places where we live before wanting to go where some one else had cleaned up. Let us carry more buckets of paint, and fewer buckets of beer; let us plant flowers and beautify our lawns, our back yards; let us read and study the plans of others who are successful, and I believe we will have less fighting to do. There are many communities that would be fine places to live in if they were cleaned up, houses painted, fences built, sidewalks laid, and many other improvements that could be made with the nickels that go annually into the 'rat-holes.' The white people will continue to segregate the races in certain districts; the best thing for the Negro to do is to continue eo improve his condition in every possible way. The best course to pursue is to do that which is right at all times. Every person knows, and must admit, that right will prevail; it may be slow sometimes but in the end it will predominate. The great fight new should be for a higher morality; there will be lots of good places in the cities to live in if the money given to the saloons were spent to improve the homes and to educate and uplift the unfortunate. But it must be done through the Christians, as no great good can be accomplished unless it be actuated by the spirit of God. The worldly people are always busy concocting and carrying out their plans, which the Christians can not overcome until they become more active in their dealings with the things that are promoting vice on every hand.—Kansas City Sun. THE "JIM CROW" LAWS An Unusual Decision by the Supreme Court of the U. S. The State of Oklahoma has a law forbidding railroad companies to furnish sleeping or dining accommodations to any but those of the white race. These would exclude Indians, of whom there are many in Oklahoma, Negroes and most Asiatics, Oklahoma is settled largely from the Southern States, and these so-called "Jim Crow" laws seem to indicate a determination to extend and intensify the race prejudice and hatred which exists in some parts of this country toward the Negro race. The constitutionality of this Oklahoma law was sustained in the Federal District Court in Oklahoma, from which an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, which has just rendered its decision. The decision is remarkable for two things. In the first place, the decision of the lower court dismissing the case is affirmed on the technical point that it did not appear that any Negro had applied for the prohibited service and been refused. Doubtless, in the present condition of our court procedure that omission showed neglect on the part of counsel for plaintiff, but it is a disgrace to our civilization that any such thing should be required. The law is there and must be assumed to have been obeyed. The existence of the law ought to be sufficient ground for the suit. And, secondly, if it were conceded that such formal demand by some individual should be an essential prerequisite to a suit, it is simply shocking that our procedure gives no opportunity to correct the error in the pleadings even after the case had reached the Supreme Court. Common sense tells us that it would not hinder, but, on the contrary, promote the ends of justice, if the court, and even the Supreme Court, should direct the plaintiff to go through the farce demanding that which was certain to be refused. It will now require years and a great deal of money to bring a perfected case to the Supreme Court. And it is unnecessary and cruel. But the unusual thing is that while dismissing the case on a technical point, a majority of the court seems to have given an opinion on the merits of the case. While that court has previously sustained State laws requiring railroads to furnish separate cars for the two races, the majority has held that this Oklahoma law is unconstitutional for reeasons which the quotation in the dispatches does not make at all clear. It is very unusual for this court to give any indication of its views on any point not essential to the decision rendered. The opinion seems to be more dicta and of no binding force and may have been rendered either as encouragement to bring a new suit or a hint to the Oklahoma Legislature to repeal or modify its law.-San Francisco Chronicle, Dec. 2d.

It is in no way connected with Allenworth and the lands it is offering for sale should be investigated before any steps are taken toward purchasing. The Negro agents who have been employed will do well to ascertain their position before any salas are undertaken.
