In Marrell and Red Raven, Texas, are two large farms that employ Race men and women. These people pay off in checks and the Race people are compelled to buy clothing and food at the commissary store. One man having no family worked six weeks and went to cash his checks for some money, but the white storekeeper tore them up, saying that the checks were only good for food and clothing and were not good after Saturday of each week. The Race man had simply worked six weeks for nothing. In both of these towns no Race man can raise a hog or chickens. This makes them buy their food at the regular store. Many small towns in this state are just the same. MISS WASHINGTON ENTER TAINED. Rochester, N.

Miss Laila Fields, the popular pianist, has her her connection with that Lincoln Theater on account of troubles over salary. A letter reached the roll-top desk on Monday from Pankey and McCarrer. They are with a Western Vaudeville Manager's wife and a Western Vaudeville manager along the line. At Valla Walla, Washington, they were the guests of a rich affluent farmer, and one day while out in the city they met a man after running the big wolves to death, they went back and captured one of the baby wolves, and they are raising it as a pet. They are on the stroll again in the near future. There will be a change of policy at the Monogram Theater beginning May 22nd. Tim Owley, the well known performer, will introduce a new stock company, offered by the Monogram Arts and a wide variety of entertainments, addition to this, two vaudeville acts will be used, and the entire bill will be changed on Mondays and Thursdays. Tim has been a producer, and is bound to make many memorable offerings during his stay here. CARLYLE BLACKWELI The question of whether a man can reform after he has had a taste of "crook life," and after he has served time, has been answered. Dom has a logical answer been given on the screen. When "The Shadow of Doubt" is shown at the States Theater in New York, with Carlyle Blackwell in the leading role, this transformation will be answered more forcefully and more logically than ever before. Dom is portrayed by John Handley, a talented by model and upfit of criminals. Her husband, a lawyer, assists her in the former, but says that money used to mask criminals is wanted. Dom is very vicious, very sick, and the husband, led astray by two crooks, and is unable to find money on account of a jail record. Allies have tried to help Dom husband for an operation for the poor woman, and is refused. Collins, a friend of her husband, tends her the money, and back when the husband gets work. The operation is a success and the husband works diligently. However, Collins takes his wife once, and when he gives him the bill he has to give him, he hints there are other ways than money to pay, for which she has to pay. The hand was supposed to have gone out of the city Collins called on her to satisfy his revailing passions for the good man he had, and his husband, having taken the wrong cont at the office, misses his train and returns home. Complications followed, and a man named Ned, the ex-jailbird, whose Alice had been helping, intervened and saved Colleen. After masters were thoroughly explained, Ned was taken to the prison been mudo known, it was found that Ned was John's little brother whom he was adopted by an enchantment when he was adopted by a family family some eighteen years before. Mr. Blackwell plays a strong part in this picture; one in which he will prove especially pleasing to his vast army of followers. He is well named the "Prince of Followers," and is likely the most popular star in the Equitable studios. Matinee will start at 2:30. In the Rafe production, "The Blindness of Love," which comes to the States of Los Angeles, with his famous star, Julius Steiger, has been met with Metro uspicaes. He is provided with an excellent part, that of a lender-hearted man blinded by his constant devotion to him. It is in such parts as this that Mr. Steiger excels. Many people call him Mr. Steiger, who is blinded so finished is his performance in these heart-appealing characterizations. While appearing in the "Seventh Comedy of Angles, Mr. Steiger was honored with what is probably the greatest ovation ever accorded and artist on the vaudeville stage, Mr. Steiger calls, the enthusiastic audience insisted on Mr. Steiger and his company repeating the greatest blindness of love Metro has provided. It is similarly strong role, which wins and holds the sympathy of the spectators. Actress starts at three o'clock sharp. Within the past ten months there have been eight benefits given at the States Theater among which were those given the Old Order Methodist Wheatley Homes. This is a remarkable record, and it testifies to the quality of business done among our people at this position by the owners, George Paul and Sol Stone. There has probably never been two men in any line of business in the States Theater, and as a result the States has aid to the welfare of worthy causes as have the present owners of the States Theater, and as a result the States has unapproached by any theater south of the loop, in any neighborhood. The latest benefit was held on Saturday, May 16, 2014, at the Home and a success. The writer describes a benefit to aid Joe Campbell in carrying his case to the Supreme Court and will be able to identify the idea. Wells-Barnett in this worthy case. The will be announced in the near future. The matinee at the Pickford on Sat. 11th is a special attraction to children, and a consequence, at the end of the performance on Sunday, is the school ground that popular houses, the offering for Saturday's matinee, May 13th, are closed. Sleeping Beauty, in other parts, Candy to each lady and child attending these mathews are the ones that are fast growing in popularity. The theme in the wonderful Fox Feature, A Man of Sorrow, in which the man in the farm Farnum takes the leading part, and the man at the Washington Theater on Saturday and Sunday, May 13 and 14, is based on a celebrated stage success, "Hooded Billie Brown," in which he married one of two sisters who look exactly alike. When he discovers his sister-in-law in the arms of a stranger, he leaves home. After wandering from place to place in an effort to find solace for his grief, he eventually comes upon the sister-in-law, who informs him of the man that has been perpetrated upon him.

Billy King & Co. opened their second week here to the usual big business with a musical force of quality, trailing up the maze of the Board of Education. The students were captivated by Hattie McIntosh handled by Hattie McIntosh, Billy Walker, Howard Kelly, Teresa Burroughs-Brooks and the instructors. The students created the usual riot. During the action of the play many song numbers were introduced: Hello, Hawaii, by Hawaii; How to Be a Girl, by Holmes; If Your State Beats Tennessee, show it to Me, an original song by Billy King; Good Bye, by Teresa B.-Brooks; Tallow Dog Rag, by Sheila Martin; Pinkie Pie, by the Grocery Man, one of Director W. Benton Overstreet's compositions, all went over nicely. The Board of Education invited a wide variety of interest, and is replete with situations which give Mr. King opportunities covering a wide variety of comedy. The students act inside the grocery man's graffiti whirlers, gymnasts and pyramid ath- letus, Zooni's Arabs, and they set the house to screaming by their wonderful Girls were both singing, talisman Girls were both singing, dancing nets in which the violin played a prominent part, the latter named because she was the last Sunday night broke all the recorder.

But the very inuselessly organized men of who began this new formidable organization which today occupies as fine a home as any political club in New York, have become the crest of the early college class of the 22nd district District Colored Republican League. After the first get-together," these men would accrue the more credit for their "gather" and perpetuate an organization, selecting as their president Stephen B. W. Moore, New York's most popular and intelligent man, it can be seen by this very wise selection, the aim these men desire, who could suggest butter, "means to attain more success." We feel safe in saying that most of them, we feel safe in saying, face political clubs are looked upon with hostility by the majority of the voters. But this measure this is quite justifiable; but this organization in its infancy was different than an earlier element, the life of men needed to carry on such a club.

Johnson was in fine fettle with about every slow in his repertoire, but because he was pointing Barton. It was a real good bout. Both boys kept moving all the while. Johnson was, hardly touched during the fight, but once the signs of having met the vicious and hard-hitting Barton in deadly combat. The semi-hint ten was something different. Johnson, an aspiring youth, with wonderful knowledge of boxing, attempted to ward off the attacks of Darky Griffin. For a chance, but after a Griffin tight hole in the second period with a blow to the wind, Johnson's chances began to disappear and by the end he was able to take punishment. Griffin received a stout blow in the neck and sound and doubled up. Only his craftiness helped him paraparse novice enabled him to stay through that round. But he stuck and landed on the ground to land every blow he had ever heard of on Johnson. His swung as hard as he had on the ground, and dozens of times, yes, he could not stop Wade.

Quite a zero, and witnessed the fight and everybody went from one well satisfied. The boys fought like real champions, and both can certainly kick with either hand. Roux ruled favorite. The only way he had to reach Foster was to crouch and come covered up, using left hooks, which landed many in time, but did no damage. Foster was in the best of condition, and Old Man hangford would have to be sent is those right and left hooks to do any good. Both boys came out of the ring without a mark, looking as if they could travel twenty rounds and not be worried. Foster is the decision by a small shade.

Rube was about to steal home and had it safe- off the top line, and the two on Bauchman, but the latter shifted on a wide one. Goeckel, and Bauchman couldn't agree as to who was out, Rube and Bauchman were unmatched. Bauchman and told him he was out, walk, double followed by a single gave the West Ends their first tally in the middle of the first half with one gone Duncan walked the front half fans began to call for a run. Lloyd fouled at six times, then fled out to the second group. "I'm so short and was tooed on," Johnson got a hold to the fourth and it looked for a moment as though the West Ends were going to go out. " I'm so close to me," a nasty on-way hit to France's home, men on the sacks. The little fellow dug it out the dirt, shot it to Lloyd, who is the turn whipped to Grant for a double play in the new free-way. " It was a few years longer. Hill singled, Duncan sacrificed, Lloyd hit a terrific error in second, scoring Petway in the third. Hill hit more to the fuel Lloyd and Grant pulled off a double steal, Lloyd hooking safely into third. The entire West End team was so expected to see the team. He ordered Kenny off the field, but after a talk with Rube play was resumed with Kenny. Guns fanned and Francis had a single in the spring. That was the first thing that was all till the seventh, when with one gone Duncan doubled, Lloyd singled sharply, scoring Duncan. Grant tripled the first time, and the second group was out, soel scoring Grant. Francis went at, Kenny to Sweeny, and Gans was caught trying to make third. Two hits and an in- the visitors another run in the ninth and the five thousand folks went home. SIDE LIGHTS Lewis Schooler and his able corps of assistants handed the crowd in fine shape. Everyone was pleased with the outcome. A foul hit Umpire Goeckel in the mouth and the game was delayed a few minutes as the arbiter rubbed the wounded jaw. Ormsby pitched good ball, ball good enough to have won against any team behind him. That infield is a corker, Francis, Lloyd, Bauchman and Grant. No matter how good you are, someone comes to the ball and makes it better. Grant certainly won his way into the hearts of the fans.

The chap who figured everyone is crazy more or less Was making what could well be called a mighty accurate guess. Of course there are exceptions like one finds in every rule, For instance, everyone admits that they're nobody's fool; They might have set ideas on the way to run things here, But that gives little license to refer to them as "querc." Perhaps if we could see ourselves through other people's eyes, There'd be in store awaiting us a very great surprise. THERE ARE OTHER THINGS more desirable than being president of Ireland just at this particular time.

It was an opportunity for every citizen not only to show his personal pride, but also civic pride. The mission should never arise when it would be necessary for outsiders to call attention to the unsanitary condition of our premises. We are highly insulted if reference is made to our personal untidiness; why not be as partisan about the home or your place of business?

DELEGATES FROM ARKANSAS to the Republican National Convention will be all white, if nothing occurs to upset the neat little plans made by the leader in that state. It was simply a case of steam-rolling the colored politicians, in spite of the fact that they have always been loyal to the party and should have the right to participate in a convention to nominate a candidate for President. It is an outrage that may have to be paid dearly for at the polls. The National Convention cannot be true to the history of the party and sanction such action. It must recognize the rights of all citizens without regard to their color to participate in political affairs. The Arkansas action is dangerous. It is dangerous in any country to create an oligarchy. Safety lies in freedom, and not in repression. Those deprived of their political standing sooner or later have to be dealt with. In Louisiana and in several other southern states it has simply been a case of freeze out, but the colored voter and taxpayer is beginning to fight. Taxation without representation is far from being satisfactory. The Republican party is expected to aid in the fight in return for loyal support. Of the things nothing but oppression is expected, and in return they can expect from the party and wherever possible, a bitter fight. The delegates from Arkansas and from states that have similarly acted will find when they strike Chicago that they fall far short of representing the best traditions of the Republican party and least of all the sentiments of Abraham Lincoln.

BAND WAGON before it is too late. The Teddy, and even though you are not supersize signs. TO THE SMALL INVESTOR the question where to place his savings so that they will be safe and at the same time return a fair interest has been a knotty one. Many "sure things" have come and gone and carried with them not only the life savings of many people, but their confidence too. Even the banks have come in for their share of suspicion, and at the slightest provocation a run is made on them, which, if they are not well fortified, drives them to the wall. Money kept in safety deposit boxes, around the home or business yields no interest. Invested in bonds of railroads, manufacturing concerns, mining companies, etc., may or may not prove profitable. And so the man or woman who is not up on high finance, but has a few dollars to invest, if inclined to be conservative, pauses a long time before making up their mind just what is the best plan for them to pursue. Instead of allowing the moneyed interests to gobble up all the good things, the city of Chicago is offering for sale over the counter four per cent gold bonds of denominations of $100, $500 and $1,000 each at par and accrued interest, these bonds to be exempt from the income tax. If at any time purchase these bonds to realize on them they need but present them to the City Comptroller or City Treasurer, who will repurchase them at par and accrued interest. The bonds are serial and mature annually January 1st of each year, beginning with 1919 up to and including 1935, and it is optional with the purchaser to select such maturity as he desires. To insure against loss or theft the bonds may be registered in the office of the City Comptroller. Seldom is the small investor offered such a golden opportunity. Four per cent combined with the knowledge of absolute security, isn't bad. The matter is well worth looking into by all who are seeking an investment. GET IN THE BAND WAGON before it is too late. The handwriting on the wall spells "Teddy," and even though you are not superstitious it is well to believe in some signs. CHURCH INDEBTEDNESS.

Instances are common where a portion of the congregation becoming dissatisfied with the pastor, the church board, the location or some equally silly things, draw away from the parent church and erect a building of their own, perhaps a few blocks away. Though the population warrants but the church, the second is thrust upon them, trouble, mortgages and all. The general public are tiring of this sort of thing, and while they are willing to the church of whatever denomination that is needed in the community, back, and justly so, at paying the grafty the whims of disgruntled people. From the Negro Year Book is gleaned that we have in the United States something over 350 cancels, 4,274,411 communicates, $6,259 Sunday schools, and 1,740,000 Sunday school scholars. The value of the church property being $6,725,255. We contribute yearly to the home mission work over $200,000, to the foreign missions $100,000, and mission work is carried on in five foreign countries. It can readily be seen the remarkable progress the race is making along religious lines in spite of the unusualness like methods employed by many church boards. MRS. SHEPPARD DIES. By P. R. Savilis Kenosha, Wis., May 12—Mrs. Mable Sheppard of Fleet street died Saturday, April 29 at St. Mary hospital, Racine, Iowa. Mrs. Sheppard has been married for more than a year, but her funeral did not know that her compliment was fatal. She was organist at the African American M. Church in Racine, Iowa, and her funeral was preached by Rev. Feastman. Mrs. Sheppard was born in Racine, Iowa, and her name was Mable Greff. There were beautiful floral designs and the funeral was well attended. Mrs. Dora Bell of Racine, Iowa, was her mother. She was missed by those who knew her best as school mates. Mrs. Sheppard leaves a husband, three sisters and two THE SIXTH REPRIEVE.

GOVERNOR DUNNE for the sixth time grants a reprieve in the case of Eliston Scott because Sheriff James White of Jackson county declined to promise that the prisoner would be hung decently, that is without making a public spectacle out of it. It will be remembered this same sheriff disgraced the county and state by inviting hundreds of people to witness the last execution under his charge and making of the occasion something on the order of a Fourth of July celebration. It is too bad that this sheriff hasn't common decency enough to carry out the spirit if not the letter of the law and to respect the Governor's wishes. This last reprieve is for two months. We trust if it has to be repeated it will be changed to life sentence, freedom or anything to thwart this officer who is insisting on bringing disgrace to the fair name of this state. NOW IS THE TIME to organize yourself into a committee of one and conduct a fly campaign. By killing the advance guard you will save yourself the trouble of dealing with the whole family, their relatives and friends. A swat in time saves more than nine. CONGRESSMAN McCULLOUGH of Ohio has introduced a bill which, if enacted into law, will give the use of the franking privilege to the people of the whole country when wanting to write to their congressmen. Some of the constituents get so much satisfaction out of the letters they write to their congressman that it would almost be too bad to deny them the right to pay the postage on them. AGAIN, before we drop the subject, perhaps it might be well to mention that no donations toward the purchase of the floral piece, "Here he lies," have been received by Villa, according to his own statement, which only goes to prove how ungrateful people are. The press reports the Mexican bandit has been killed numerous times, but somehow he is just too cussed to stay killed. AND TO THINK how near we are to the June brides and soft, mushy talk. Merey.
