She is at presant doubling with one of our ladies, Miss Grace Jackson, and they are making a tremendous hit in their society sketch, entitled: “A Trouble- some Servant, or There Goes that Door Bell.” Mise Jackson as male impersou- ator is doing fine and adds much to the success of the sketch.

IT CRITIOISES MR. WASHINGTON. The Illinois Conservator takes exception to Booker T. Washington's late movement, the National Negro Business League. It feels that the contemplated organization practically covers the same ground as that of the Afro-American Council, which has been in operation for more than two years. It can not see the necessity of another organization. The Conservator goes so far as to question, or stronger still, to impugn the motives of Mr. Washington, whom, it thinks is trying to set up a counter attraction. We have learned to be very charitable as to the designs of individuals, yet the most casual observer will be forced to give the matter more than passing attention. Nevertheless it is hardly the proper thing to question the design of such a man as Booker T. Washington. What he has done has been well done. What he has done has been the result of systematic endeavor and never flagging zeal. He has made an impression on the world as an honorable, conscientious, upright man with no petty ends to serve, nor axes to grind. That is his reputation; we think his character is true to his reputation. We are not setting up a defense for Mr. Washington, but we cannot think he would be so small as to set up a movement in opposition to the Afro-American Council because he is not its guiding genius. The movement he fathers is a legitimate one and totally different in its purposes. It is safe to say that the idea was born out of the recent general demand on part of the Negro press for Negroes to establish business concerns for the employment of the young men who can only hope to be employed by institutions managed by Negroes. He has not in mind the throttling of any movement whatsoever that has a good end to attain. And should the Afro-American Council have ulterior motives for existence, and should it be detected by his unerring foresight, the race could feel no less grateful to him. Three years is time enough for other movements to have been born. The Afro-American Council will not be like Joshua; ask that the sun stand still in its peculiar behalf. The Conservator plays an unconscious tribute to Washington's greatest when it admits that within him, is the possibility of balking the other movement. Let them both exist. The country and the occasion is great enough. The Conservator has the following to say: "Evidently that is not what Mr. Washington wants. Instead of going to Indianapolis and helping Prof. Du Bois and the Council on the 28th of August, he advertizes an opposition meeting at Boston for the 24, and the result THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER of which must be injurious to the National Council. "Now why? There are already many surmises, some of them not very complimentary to Mr. Washington. Many hold that Mr. Washington will go anywhere or do anything unless he is 'the whole thing'. He can't be 'all in all' in the Council for there are others who are as anxious as he is to find the right, and equally anxious to do it. They want help and will appreciate it, but to them Mr. Washington does not speak as he passes by. He goes on to Boston and starts a new organization of which he will be presiden, moderator and dictator. It looks like Mr. Washington is determined to help no movement which he does not mangurate. If that is so, then he has yet to learn that the greatest leader is not too g eat to follow." The above is given for what it may be worth. It is hoped that the surmises are not true. It is hoped that no undercurrent of hostility will be engendered against either movement. Ugly as the situation looks, we still pin our faith to Mr. Washington, feeling that in the proper time he will make manifest his position to the entire satisfaction to all. Furthermore we believe Washington to be diplomatic enough not to convert whole [rafts of friends and ardent admirers into so many enemies. Indianapolis has been infested several years-by a gang of white boys, who banded together and called themselves, bungaloes. Their main purpose was to attack defenseless colored boys and even men with stones and clubs. Colored boys attempted to organize a movement in which they succeeded for awhile, but they soon found they were no match for the army of whites, and they disbanded. The organization among the whites although some of its members have been arrested, convicted and sentenced, did not die completely out. Last week a colored man was compelled to defend himself very vigorously against a number of the bungaloo gang. He threw a rock, which unfortunately struck one of the gang on the head, and from the effects of which, he died. It was plainly a matter of self-defense, and the court so ruled, which ruling is supported by the sentiment of the people. The colored man was discharged. The death of the boy is extremely deplorable. There is no one who feels that any satisfaction results from it. Blood innocently spilt is blood spilt, which can never, when rightly considered, be an occasion for joy. Yet the colored people certainly feel grateful to an honorable court and a justice-loving people, who were great enough to look beyond the mere happening to the cause. It may be considered superfluous to give thanks, where only duty is performed, etc., but beyond all that; it was a great thing to discharge that colored man; it is greatly appreciated. During our mid summer reduction we will send free and postage prepaid, either a complete "History of the Colored Soldiers in the Spanish-American War" or "The School History of the Negro Race" by E.

Murray of Allen Chapel church of this city was tendered a farewell testimonial last Monday evening, in which the ministers, the congregation and citizens in general participated. Five years ago Rev. Murray came to take charge of the work which he has now brought to a close. As these years sped along, he, more and more, endeared himself to his congregation and his ever widening circle of friends. He has labored assiduously to build up the material and spiritual church, the success of which is attested by the beautiful chapel that stands a monument of his untiring zeal and by the hundreds of names that have been added to the church-roll through his efforts and Christian influence. He will go to Chicago where he will have a larger field of endeavor. He carries with him the prayers, the well-wishes, and the God-speeds of an appreciative church and public. The many good things said at his farewell testimonial concerning him will stamp the occasion on his memory so indelibly that only death can erase them. His timely farewell address was indicative of the man—earnest, sincere. The occasion will be always memorable to either pastor or congregation.

Judging the result of the approaching election from the temper of the American people, it is fairly certain that with the idees of November, Wm. J. Bryan, will, as a considerable entity, pass out of American politics. He occupies a position before the country such as has never been known. It is a position unjustified by the genius of American institutions, the theory of which is that the sentiment, the desires of the people are embodied, or invested in an individual or individuals, which individuals' duties are to see that the will of the people is carried out and not amended or supplanted. Yet last week we had the strange spectacle of the individual furnishing the views and sentiments for the people and that against their expressed desires. It is now an old story that the Kansas City convention had no alternative; it had to except Mr Bryan's views as to party principles. Such a position is dangerous; it is a menace to our form of government; being for more imperialistic than the idea of adding new territory to the country, of which, Mr. Bryan so loves to prate. The platform of the late convention while in itself conjures up the political heresies of the past, the principal tenet, of which, was the free silver plank—reaffirmed in a faith that is simply incredulous, is sufficient to defeat the ticket, outside of Bryan's personality, which is still more of an issue than the platform of principles. The recuperative powers of the Democratic party, its staying qualities as witnessed in the past are splendid object lessons of moral courage. That party had won much respect and some achievements by its endurance and vitality; but it was not the kind of persistency that has marked the course of Wm. J. Bryan et al. It has never before indulged in a fratricidal strife in which the able and staid generals were arrayed against the rank and file. Wm. J. Bryan may be hailed as the deliverer by the thoughtless and heedless, but the conservative element, those interested in the welfare of the country, even to those in his own party will not give him their support. Free silver is a Bryan fetich. He has made it his political shrine; he worships there and scarcely elsewhere. In this he has not shown that political sagacity that should entitle him the unanimous support of his party. His four years of touring the country with but one eternal song has caused many to feel that he was sincere. He may be sincere, but he is more sincere in his belief of the rotation of parties in office. He has an abiding faith in that restlessness, the usual result of a four years administration which has been so noted in recent years. It is through this as much as any thing else that he hopes to win. The colored people of the country have nothing to expect from Bryan above what is expected from the Republican party. The platform is studiously silent as to them. This may not be significant but an expression of some kind would have at least located them. The colored people are at one with the policies of the administration. They, belonging to the wage-earning class entirely, know, that they will be first, as a whole, to feel the effects of the withdrawing of money from circulation, and the curtailing of expenses in anticipation of the crash that would certainly follow the ruinous principles of the Democratic party. The Republican party is the deck, all else is the sea.

Editor The Freeman, Indianapolis, ind: Dear Sr. - Relative to the sentence, "No metal is as useful as iron" occurring in a recent civil service examination, I shall state that it should be, "No other metal is so useful as iron." In the sentence as it occurs in the original the omission of the modifying term "other" excludes iron from the class of metals. Besides the word "so" which is either always an adverb or used in an adverbial sense is preferred to "as" a conjunction frequently (and in an erring manner) used for an adverb. This is my version of the matter. Respectfully. 1010 Broadway, Ex-Principal State University. We agree with Prof. Delaney in supplying "other," otherwise the possibility of comparison is destroyed by the negation "no." "No" is destructive or annihilating in its use in the sentence and thus has the tendency to banish all metals from association with iron, rather than the reverse as Delaney puts it. The subject of the sentence is "metal" while the subject of thought is annihilated. —Editor of The Freeman. The Freeman offers for the next 30 days a special inducement to old and new subscribers.

The Hampton Negro Conference will be held at the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, July 18th to 20th. These conferences are annual meetings—the purpose of which are to look forward to the general advancement the general progress of the Negro race. Profitable discussions by prominent educators of either race are a part of the program. The Indianapolis School Board will doubtless be commended for its determination to invest the McCoy Fund and apply the interest for the better education of the colored teachers of the public schools. The colored teachers are to be congratulated for this wise provision in their favor. The business manager of the Board who suggested the matter deserves great praise for thinking of such a laudable way of employing the McCoy Fund. McKinley and Roosevelt are the candidates that the colored people will support almost to a man. A frantic effort will be made to stampede them for Bryan and Stevenson, but the coldness of the Democratic platform so far as it concerns them, will have a great and deep effect. The principles of the Democratic platform are opposed to the welfare of the country. The free silver hobby is not calculated to inspire the confidence of the thoughtful wage-earners who depend upon capital for existence. The colored people are wage-earners. Booker T. Washington's latest move, the Colored Men's Business League, is a movement that comes none too soon. The crying necessity of the times is, for an opportunity to employ the surplusage of the race that is capable and willing. It is the duty of some man to lead the way in the matter. Mr. Washington has simply took up a work that has gone a begging for many years. Out of sheer necessity he took it up. The attention of the race has been called to it time and time again, but it has been left to Washington to be the pioneer in the matter. Sudden Deaths. Houston, Texas. Special.—Mr. Willie Williams who was formerly representative for The Freeman in this city is now representative for The Freeman in Cincinnati, Ohio. There were two sudden deaths in last week—both being aged colored women. The first to occur was that of Mrs. Jemimah Cornish, while walking along Preston avenue about 7:30 o'clock dropped to the side walk and expired instantly. Justice Malsch held an inquest and the verdict is that her death was the result of over heat. Mrs. Rachel Luckett was found dead at her home on Bayou street. Mrs. Luckett was 115 years of age. Justice Malsch conducted the inquest in the case and found that death was due to extreme age and a paralytic affection. Dr. S. M.

Shelton, Knutsford Hotel Salt Lake City, Utah; F. C. Long, Windermere Hotel, Chicago Ill.; J. J. Miles Plankington House, Milwaukee Wis C. M. Farrar, Merchants Club, Baltimore, Md. It's strange that some waiters never learn how to serve an order. One time they will set coast beef in front of a guest first, at another time they will serve coffee first or vegetables and then again they will place the plate down first, and thus it simply becomes a hammer and tongs service. It is right here that the head-waiter with a keen eye can do much towards establishing uniformity of service. Teach the waiters that they should first place the plate in front of the guest and then serve them their meals, being careful in removing the covers from each dish as it is served. The Waiter's Outlook In the waiter's arena few changes have taken place for the improvement of the individual and the outlook cannot be called promising by the most careful observers; still less improvements of the profession are evident, and less improvements will continue, as long as no measure is drawn to prevent men who have probably failed in other pursuits from adopting the garb of a waiter; thus diminishing the chances of good waiters THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. to earn a respectable livelihood by that vocation, which they have made a life's work, and in which they reflect great credit and recompense. The waiters of Chicago recently had a school in the surburbs of the city exclusively for the elevation and culture of the colored waiters, but so few availed themselves of the opportunity that the superintendent ordered it closed indefinitely; and now, those who are ambitious and appreciative of the good of such an institution are making a desperate struggle to have the same school re-opened at the beginning of the autumn session of the public schools. The result of their efforts cannot be correctly forecast, but we must hope that they will succeed. They realize that it is the only measure by which they can hope to raise the universal and individual dignity of the waiters. Good waiters are scarce, and while this is true, the scarcity does not increase the wages, for, new waiters are springing up like mushrooms and are invading the hotels in destructive numbers. These emigrants labor without the slightest conception of the rudiments or principles of a first-class waiter and are now going from place to place imposing upon the confidence of head-waiters. The plow boy, the village lad, the country school teacher and even men of professional rank in the small cities find their way into the metropolitan cities and there amid its strife, congestion, and in the direful struggle for existence find a safe retreat in the hotels as waiters where their ambitions are quickly dwarfed by excitement and pleasures, and in which they soon take the postgraduate course. Conscience is soon worn threadbear by these two disastrous influences. Life's journey is at its terminus at thirty, decay is rapid and death is the legitimate result of their experiments. The colored waiters throughout the country should organize a mutual and progressive movement; familiarizing themselves with new modes of action and execution of their important duties towards one another as well as; to improve themselves in their profession. The decline of wages now in progress is the reverse process of reasoning, for we might suppose that waiters are growing better in their service. Not so; the experienced waiter has progressed so far ahead of the new waiter of to-day that it looks almost impossible for them to attain the high mark and consequently the decline of good waiters as well as good wages is self evident; and while this fluctuation of green stock upon the waiters market is on the increase it will be impossible for any association of head-waiters or caterers to be proficient to meet the demand in perfecting an organization among or with such material; subsequently it is now considered proof of their inability to meet the requirement of the modern palatial hotels of to and they are gradually losing their places to their white brother in the European hotels and cafes. The waiters of Chicago have a mutual and progressive organization that all may well feel proud of and its benefits are immeasurable and success an assured fact. There is no class of labor which stands more in need of such an organization than the waiter and they should band to-gether in love and unity. Nothing can be of greater value to any class of men for it is a painful reminiscence to recall the many waiters of our acquaintance who have passed into the realms of eternity, without the care of a friend or the visible aid of charity. Watters in all sections of the country have repeatedly organized but these organizations were but concerted movements to force superior power and they have all suffered a series of defeats and have rapidly drifted into oblivion. Such events are recorded in the memory of every waiter and it has had its stunning effects upon better principles in organizing since. These circumstances and conditions should be made the stepping-stone to new aspirations and higher ideals. Experience in measure is an indispensible quality of a good waiter and the pivot upon which he must hinge his aspirations and progress. There are other cardinal qualities which are essential to increase his worth, confidence and esteem in the mind of his employer He must be of sterling integrity; honest incorrigible character, straightforward in business, gentlemanly in carriage neat in appearance; with an obliging disposition, bending every energy to every care and comfort of his guest. These are qualities seldom found in one personage, but are necessary to master and become proficient in the discharge of all duties relatively. The same can be cultivated by all in pursuit of their good reward and sound the key note of success when applying for higher positions and greater responsibilities. By diligently pursuing them the waiters become masters of the requisites by which he can establish the fact that he is a first class waiter in every sense of the word. Waiters should read all the daily papers and monthly periodicals and become thoroughly conversant with all the latest subjects. No class of employees enjoy the advantage of so much time for improvement in this respect as the waiter. Why not take advantage? No time is better than to-day. The outlook of the waiters then lies in his future organized movements to raise the dignity of his labor and improve his profession and draft and incorporate in these organizations a check upon the new men who are endangering their chances of complete loss of the hotels wherein they are now dependent for support of their families. Common sense will suggest what years of experience teaches and what is the easiest is the best course to pursue. To serve the simplest article of food to the most objectional guest in the most gracious way and a smile is a splendid spice for both good and bad service. The salvation of the waiter lies in their concerted universal effort in the perfection of plans for their mutual and progressive organizations—mutual in friendship and in need—progressive in business—especially in the vocation by which he gains a livelihood. Yours very truly. E. T. MONTGOMERY, Head-waiter at the Chicago Beach Hotel. * * * Local Pickups. Frankfort, Ind., Special.-Mr. Edward Harper was in LaFayette, Ind., last week visiting friends.

MARTH in a DEAD TRANCE, you ever must n tests she tells your mother's o marriage, the names of all your family, heir ages and description, the name and business ext, if you are to be husband, the name of your o young man who now calls on you, o our future husband, and the day, month and ear of your marriage- how many children you you have, whether you are married or ungle; whether your present will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, his name, business and date of cid in an honest, clear, plain, FUTURE will be a detrance. Mothers should know if if their husbands and children, young lad should know everything about their sweethearts or h.ended husbands. Do not keep should know in business until you now all, do not let surely religious誓请 prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future honeymoon, tells you whether the one you love is true. There are some persons who believe that the one is no truth to be gained from consulting a medium, contrary to the truth. It is only from the touch that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not everyone who placards himself or herself as a Medium that can stand a test of what a medium can do, but acquiring the mind may ask the reason why. It is simply that these advisers do not take the trouble to study human nature. They do not spend time with a medium but acquiring the art of phrenology and kindred wisdom will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of biases. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice—in full knowledge of what they want to know, and as soon as they confront a medium they try their utmost endeavor to understand what they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out of a person by "pumping," in no few cases, is the art used by a medium to convey their message to the hand and gain control of the mind therein, is a matter of impossibility to most of them, and yet this can be done, and by consulting a medium this seeming mystery becomes realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. It proves conclusively that although their knowledge grows on one hand, their harps, the gates of wisdom have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become as acclaimed and famous as MARTH and uniting effort, the key to the well of apparently unaffordable mysteries have been received by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of management and the $100. First from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. All letters must contain stamps for answers. MRS. M. B. MARTH. 246 West Thirty-first Mention NEW YORK CITY The Freeman.
