The demands the big shows are mak- ing on the jubilee ranks leaves a woeful pancity of talent m that line. The companies that were on the road the Past season were very mediocre. An- other reason for the lack of talent in this line is the refusal of managers to pay a living salary so long as people can ‘be fonnd who are in bad health and need an outing. ‘There are people both in and ont of the profession who ceem to think that the mc ment a person of color picks up & pen he should as much as possible sup: press the trath, when it tells against one, and in its place indulge an amount of wordy rubbish bertowing fulsome flattery. lam supposed to tack the word excellent on everything I see and hear although it may be in such a bad stato that even the crows would refuse tohave anything todo with it.

One, and perbaps the chief, reason for the over crowding ofthe ranks is ‘that the average yonng colored man has ‘a deap-seated antipathy to work; they prefer a job where they can weur “bi'ed” shirts, stiff cuffs and collars with little er mo work attached, and which pays four or five dollars a week, to one that pass three times as much bat calls for overalls, and plenty of work, Manya man who is tagging along after troupes might be resting in comfortable circumstances if his love for lubor had not been smo.hered in him, ch peerenremeT sicroRh: State street that is the part of it from 2th to 80th, has about lost all of its respectability ss a shrooghtare, No wonder the other streets have drawn the line of morality. and tarn up thei noses at the fetid immorality that flourishes there from noon till mid night, and from midnight back to noor again. Its the home of the “picture.” ‘The State street picture is the young man who poses on that street, dressed in his “purple and fine linen,” and whe never does aday of honest toil. It is his loudness, his ribaldry, his unman. ly conduct, that is bringing reproach or the fair name of the Negro today: He regards labor as degrading and lives or the profits of vice. The policy shop, the racetrack, the other disreputable places are his place of business, and, when no actually in the hold-np business, thes are his means of sustenance, ‘The most discouraging feature about the matter is that men of this like aré on the increase. Their number is legion. They have made State stree such a cess-pool of iniquity that it is ubsolately unsafe fora woman of res pectability to pass that way.

No one seemed to understand her case, She had several doctors, but none of them seemed to know what was the matter. None could do her any good. It was my duty as her pastor to cail and see her. Hear- ing of the wonderful work being done by Dr. Shea the last few yeurs, I thought I would call and see him myself, I found him a sympathetic gentleman. He gave me a wonderful test of his powers; told me to send him a lock of the patient's hair, which I did by her daughter. He told at once what was the matter and in a short time cured her sound and well. Her family had seemingly been under a cloud. Now all is changed. All are well and prosperous.

Last week, New Orleans, Louisiana, was the scene of one of the most disgraceful riots that has ever occurred in this country. While the loss of life was appalling, more lives being lost than in many battles, yet it was not that which gives the rioting its malignity. That race hatred that is always smouldering broke forth into one of those periodical flames, leaving wreck and ruin in its wake. It appears that Robert Charles who was said to have been a desperate character, a Negro, refused to submit to arrest. In his resistance he killed two police officers, the news of which spread like a prairie fire. Thousands of the citizens of New Orleans regardless of vocation, white men, began a Negro chase. It was this chase, that furnished the most harrowing events during the rioting. New Orleans has thousands of Negroes, but they dared, not for at least twenty-four hours, appear upon the thorough fares of that great city for fear of the assassin's bullet or knife. Negroes were hunted as rabbits to their burrows. They were shot when and wherever found. They were shot while fleeing, shot while standing, shot when in hiding, dragged from bed and shot. Robert Charles fled after shooting the policemen. His place of concealment was with great difficulty located. In the meanwhile twenty thousand citizens of New Orleans had gathered to witness the final end up of the great man chase. It seems that Charles was not unprepared for the event. In his room he had a winchester rifle and from all accounts, plenty of amunition—he determined to die according to his character—a desperado. Officers of the law led the way for the dislodging of Charles, but the attempt was fatal. Again and again efforts were made to drive him out, but the crack of his winchester brought low some daring unfortunate, until at last a half dozen more were either killed or fatally wounded. The fearful loss of life prompted other measures. Firing the house was suggested. That was done at once. True to expectations Charles made a leap for life. The officers had been detailed to pick him off in the act. When Charles made his leap for liberty he leaped to his death. Scores of bullets from rifles in steady and perhaps too willing hands plowed their way into the flesh of Charles and his life went out amid the scenes he had conjured up. Not only was he riddled with bullets but the mob now drunk with excesses, clamored for his remains upon which to heap indignities. Some cried for rope, others continued to pour shot into his lifeless body, others jumped in his face and with the heels of their boots ground his face into pulp. The whole thing beggars description, all of which was enacted in this most enlightened country of a most enlightened age. the meeting does not result on the day after the individuals return to their homes. Yet these men spend thousands yearly in carfare for "nothing" as some of the "cullud gemmens" will have it. But did they travel in vain? Not by long odds. Organization was one The Afro-American Council is meeting general approval, but now and then the wall of the pessimist is heard in the land. However success without some opposition would not be worthy of the name. strangers to whom shall committee on homes have a number of stopping who may not care to pay rates. Those contemplation at that time will do a card to the Freeman fortable and reputable selected. Roy A. W There is but little clemency or mercy to be shown one, who like Charles resisted arrest by committing murder. But in spite of that he simply committed murder which has been, now is, and ever will be committed whether the civilization be high or low. His was an extremely aggravating case of murder it will be admitted, but the court is the tribunal and not hastily organized mobs that must have its victims. Hunting down Negroes for the purpose of wreaking vengeance, was a flagrant case of that suppressed racial feeling, that wants but any pretext to manifest itself. The willingness to volunteer in the mob's movements is further confection of that ugly spirit that is working evil for this country. It is deplorable that so many deaths of innocent individuals occurred at the hands of Charles. It is equally deplorable and regrettable that those white men should so far forget themselves as to repudiate courts and civilization and become a law unto themselves, running down and shooting helpless and defenceless Negroes because of Charles' deeds. What Charles dealt out was no more than what the mob expected to deal out. In fact the mob was accessory to his murder and has no right to complain of innocent victims; it was out for blood. In his situation Charles died as become a man. It is a pity that the cause of his defense had not been different. Charles was a murderer and his heroic defense falls short of heroism. He simply died game. And yet his death has taught its lesson. More respect will be attached to courts in the future. The crimes of Negroes are not personal to the extent that every individual must take a hand in the punishment. AS TO CONVENTIONS The Negroes are often handicapped by too much criticism that comes from within the race. Every man, woman and child that can speak, feel it a duty, seemingly to question those movements and institutions that are inaugurated for the betterment of the race. It is simply ignorance. Take, for instance, the Afro-American Council which meets in Indianapolis the 28th of the present month. Already the skeptical and knowing ones? are scratching their heads as if they were endowed with some superior wisdom, casting doubt as to the ultimate out come of that or any other Negro gathering with similar purposes in view. These wisacres feel that they must see a tangible result in the morning, as the result of last nights deliberations. This result not coming, the sun rising as usual, unruffled as ever regardless of man's purposes, they cry: all in vain. This is short sightedness. These gatherings may not result in good; but this is not within the province of any man to thus set it down. These apostles of quick results have not yet learned that moral courage is a part of civilization; perhaps the better part. It is the privilege of every man in this country to protest, at least, against the wrongs under which he suffers. To fail to protest is cowardice that in the end will bring a coward's reward. This country is honey-combed with "white" societies, and institutions that are meeting from time to time, discussing the methods of having their wrongs redressed. These white men do not know what it is to be a negro; yet their grievances they insist are heavy. Organizations, movements cannot bring reform in a day. They may never bring reforms but they can resist encroaching abuses; and if they fail in that, the individuals have not failed to be men. Moral courage is to resist wrongs and impositions to the extent of the ability. The mere success of force is simply brutal usurpation that in no wise dims the glory of the weak that strove to the end. By the same process of reasoning employed by the ignorant and indolent who are merely content to have a good time, not knowing what they may eat on the morrow, the scores of conventions held yearly by the druggists, bankers, undertakers lumber men, furniture dealers, would be of no consequence because a tangible evidence of the meeting does not result on the day after the individuals return to their homes. Yet these men spend thousands yearly in carfare for "nothing" as some of the "culld gemmens" will have it. But did they travel in vain? Not by long odds. Organization was one point, mere organization; the ability to resist encroachments. By the exchange of ideas and the suggestion of new methods one is benefitted. These men do not have great grievances; life and liberty are not in jeopardy, and as a rule are fairly well off in the goods of the world and yet they meet. Will negroes ever learn that in union their is strength? strength to secure peaceably what force often fails to bring. A negro conference is not voted a success unless the resolution committee reports in favor of retaliation, or revenge. It is right and proper to meet in conventions to discuss the mode of procedure towards the securing of the things desired, if they never come. It is right to protest against abuses, if they never cease. It is right to inform negroes that they themselves have beams in their own eyes sometimes, if they never heed. The right to petition the powers that be is one one of the dearest prerogatives of a people. They that are careless of its office are just as careless of their existence. By all means let us have a grand Afro-American Council meeting in Indianapolis. Time and money must be sacrificed. The race that stakes time and money against its civil liberties will lose out every time. No good cause is won without a struggle. Is it plain? A "Jim Crow dinner" is what H. C. Smith styles a dinner given to the colored members of the notification committee at the Hollden Hotel, Columbus, O., by George O. Myers. Mr. Smith is certainly carrying his hatred for Mark Hanna and George O. Myers very far when he uses his own paper to call "jim crow" what was considered the social functions of the notification committee. It is of more than local concern. These five Negroes had been honored as it seldom falls the lot of Negroes to be, honored. They were a part of the notification committee, whose duties were entirely honorary, to notify Mr. McKinley of the high trust imposed on him by a great party. That these men are thus treated by a fellow Negro, is an insult; it is no criticism; it passes beyond that pale. If the Republican party is to be fought, Negroes should not be the special object of attack by Negroes. This offering from Smith comes with exceedingly bad grace, in view of that fact that he has been a member of the legislature through the grace of Republican voters and through the representation that he was a race loving Negro and as such stood for his race. It is now but a few days until North Carolina speaks her heart on the great question of disfranchisement. What will she do? How can she manage to disfranchise an exceedingly large number of blacks and allow an exceedingly large number of whites to escape? But she is bent on doing it. Will she do it? It has been done and North Carolina is not a whit less resourceful than other states of questionable memory. Kaiser Wilhem is catching it on every hand, and for very good reason. His speech to the German soldiers on their departure to China was extremely un-Christian. He exhorted them to spare none regardless of age or sex—a war of extermination. No barborous chi f could exceed the King in his order of general massacre. Mr. Bryan now enjoys the distinction of relegating his silver theories to the second place and pushing forward the anti-imperialism phase of the platform. He should have recanted long ago, when it was worth something to him. He had his way in the convention, let him pay for his folly. The St. Louis Plain Dealer is a new journal by colored men. It has a good look, although it is a little off in politics. It feels the necessity of its existence. The Freeman welcomes the strange visaged visitor, trusting that it will prove capable of more good than harm. The Afro-American Council is meeting general approval, but now and then the wall of the pessimist is heard in the land. However success without some opposition would not be worthy of the name. Well perhaps the Chinese did not lie after all in that legation matter, but they have such a habit of lying, that no one knows when to believe them. It is the case of the boy and the wolte. Open the factories, machine shops and all other industries to the negro. Give him constitutional protection and the white man will have few opportunities to say, "8ad nigger."—The St. Louis Plain Dealer. The best and most reliable colored men of St. Louis are giving their favor and influence to the democratic party.—The St. Louis Plaindealer. It's a pity. The actions of Charles in either case must not be supported by Negroes, nor must they support the action of the mob. China has her Boxers, America has her New Orleans mob, who will profit by their examples? THIS AND THAT. The colored schools of Washington, D.C, are always in a stew, if newspapers comment amounts to any thing. They are not backward saying what they please about any person. Wonder if the managers don't feel like cutting the whole business out very often? Dr. Joseph H. Ward one of our prominent physicians is taking a much needed rest at West Baden the famous Mineral Springs. He says the waters are a reputed talisman against all ils flesh that is heir to. He reflects further that if bad taste and odors go for any thing, they are justly entitled to their reputation. Dr. Ward is the head of the reception committee of the Afro-American Council Conference which meets in Indianapolis, Aug. 28th. It is said that there is but one colored clerk among the 100 colored men employed in the Government Printing Office. There are 3000 person employed, all told. The National Committee has decided not to establish German or Negro bureaus this campaign. Mr. R. W. Thompson of Washington, D.C., is getting some very flattering notices for his exhaustive review of Booker T. Wasnigton's book, "The Story of My Life and Work." 一 The Institutional Church, a new departure in church work has been brought about through Bishop Grant of the A. M. E. church. The result of the effort will be carefully noted, which if successful, the idea will be taken up generally. It aims at the Educational side of life along with the spiritual teachings. There is considerable dispute about who killed Charles, principally between Dr. C. A. Noiret, a medical student and a member of the citizen police, and Private Anderson of the First regiment. Six hundreds dollars in rewards hinges on the decision. The money will probable be turned over to these two men and by them donated to the fund started by Mayor Capdevielle for the widows of murdered policemen. Mayor Capdevielle has rigidly enforced his order to keep saloons closed today. The main result of the week's events will probably be the reorganization of the police force. The Afro-American council will hold its next national convention in this city some time during August. The convention will bring to the city the leaders of the race in thought and legislation. The work to which the convention will be directed will be along the lines of "federal adjudication," and it will seek to secure legislation which will do away with the many discriminations to which the colored people are subjected. Bishop Walters is president of the council and he has twice been called into conference with President McKinley in order to find out the sentiment of the council in regard to certain grievances. Among the prominent leaders and speakers of the council who will be here are P. B. S. Pinchback, ex-governor of Louisiana, Booker T. Washington, ex-Congressman Daniel Murray and Charles R. Douglass, son Frederick Douglass.—The Indianapolis Sentinel. The say that the Coleman Cotton Mills have started. Hope the got a going and can't stop. They are a paramount race issue. In view of the approaching conventions in this city we again urge the citizens to consider what it means. If we fail to properly appreciate these strangers to whom shall they look? The committee on homes have secured quite a number of stopping places for those who may not care to pay the high hotel rates. Those contemplating visiting the city at that time will do well in dropping a card to The Freeman office that comfortable and reputable places may be selected. Rev. A. Wakefield is chairman of committee on homes of committee on homes. He is assisted by Revs. Newton, Carr and Gilliam. The Freeman can be pleased to give what information it can. Some people can not look after their own affairs properly owing to their intense interest in the affairs of their neighbors. 一 They say that General Dodds of the French army is a real Negro. What of it? Will that help us over here a bit? It will not pay to get excited over these little things that are held up for comparison. If you want a sample of European love for the black, go to their Colonies. France had a Hayti, France has her Madagascar. Where is Queen Ravanola, pray? NORTHERN DAILIES ON THE NEW ORLEANS MOB. It is to be hoped that the authorities of New Orleans will not remain content with the more restoration of order. The crimes committed by this mob are hideous. It has deliberately murdered persons guilty of no offense and in no way related to the original trouble. It has destroyed the property of peaceful citizens. The Police department should ferret out the leaders of this mob and they should be punished as a warning. Meanwhile, the people of New Orleans have been voting millions of money for better water and a more perfect sewerage system and for other municipal improvements. Would it not be well to expend a few thousand dollars for the strengthening of the police force, so that peaceful citizens may be protected from mobs? If life and property are not safe other municipal improvements will be of little account. The thugs of New Orleans are in no respect more civilized or human than the Boxers of China.—The Chicago Tribune. The killing of the negro at New Orleans may have been justified to some extent. He was a desperate character, had slain several policemen and defied arrest. But there was no excuse for the savagery that followed, for it was a relapse into savagery that caused hundreds of people to empty the contents of revolvers and guns into the body of the dead negro as it lay in the street, and it was the barbarity of the heathen that suggested the burning of the remains. The mob in this case was not composed of the scum of the city. Good citizens forming the special posse, soldiers and policemen, were carried away by the excitement—permitted inherent savagery to break forth—and the barbarous exhibition followed. We accuse the Chinese Boxers of being fanatical heathen because, under the influence of excitement, they have mur ered Christians. What should we call those civilized people at home who scour the streets of a city, shooting at every negro that shows his head? Germany is a so-called highly civilized country. What should we call Emperor William, who has instructed his soldiers to give no quarter when they land in China? "Spare nobody," which means that all women and children must be put to the sword, was the Emperor's order. If this be not a relapse into savagery, what is it?—The Indianapolis Journal. The rioting and killing at New Orleans are entirely without palliation. The law could have apprehended the Nego desperado, whose deeds led to the outbreak, and he would surely have been hanged. It is no question of fear that the law would fail to act. It is the eager williness to gratify the ferocity of bloodshed that causes every Negro guilty of a serious offense in the South to be hunted down like a mad dog. This passion has grown almost entirely since the war. And it is apparent, with the decrease of the Negro's participation in political rights that his denial of protection by the law increases, and the number of lynchings has increased. We are told occasionally that this is because of the outrages against women. Mob law is indeed the instant penalty of that of that crime, as the lynching at Huntsville, the other day, reminded us. But the New Orleans case is proof that any serious crime of a Negro at once puts him outside of the law. We are not speaking in the spirit of ralling accusation. We speak of it as a phase or phenomenon of our civilization and in the spirit of perplexity. Apparently it grows no better; apparently it grows worse. With every movement of society to isolate the Negro and give him fewer rights, in spite of the letter of the law, he seems to be left more and more defenseless. His life is the forfeit that may be paid at any moment that may suit the caprice or passion of a Southern mob. I his condition prevails in a large part of the Union. Would it not be worth our while seriously to consider some means of civilizing ourselves With the recognition of our obligation to subdue the Filipinos and to punish the Chinese, would it be not wise for us seriously to look at the fault that there must be in our civilization while such a condition prevails in the South!

When the Negro gets where he will take $bath$ daily and cleanse his teeth each day with a good brush he will have advanced a long ways toward the standard set by the white man. SPORTING BRIEFS Peter Jackson, the once famous heavy weight pugilist, is still at his home in Australia, but will likely pay a visit to this country very soon. Jackson has written to his old time friend, Sam Fitzpatrick, saying that he expects to enter the ring in a short time. Jackson has been doing a little training and feels as though he can hold his own at the game in which he was once a noted factor. Jackson writes that there are several good heavy weights in Australia at present who are coming over to America to try their hand.

Allen's New Orleans Minstrel: "In the states of Missouri and Kansas we have had but very little rain for this time of the year, playing to crowded houses nightly as usual. For the past week we have played six towns from three to eight miles apart, and the population of the smallest town is nine thousand eight hundred. While in Joplin Mo. we meet Messrs. T. Williams, A. Fuller and C. Williams, proprietors and managers of a swell colored saloon. They gave us a good time for the better part of the week, as from each town we played, electric cars ran to Joplin. T. Williams being a retired old showman took great pains in making that place one of the best and as for a showman coming to this town, he says, he shall never go hungry. They are thinking of opening a theatre after a --- while. Mr. T. Williams says this is the greatest country for zinc and lead mines in the union. W.

While we are praising our younger comedians the old ones are forgiven. But, here is an old man that has kept up to date. It has been said that there would be no one to take Billy Kersands place in the South. Well Messrs. Rusco & Holland, of the Big Minstrel Festival knew a thing or two when they engaged McIntosh for the position. The question is, will Kersands hold his end up in the East as well as McIntosh does in the South. All McIntosh has to do is to laugh and the audience laughs with him. He also keeps the performers on the stage laughing at all times. He is surely the grand old man of comedy. J. Ed Green writes from Chicago that the success of the Pavilion is wonderful and was sorry to be compelled to close. The last week's bill was composed of many of the old favorites with an addition of Bessie Hamilton, Bessie Kinney and Master Norris Smith. Uncle Norris Smith.

Georgia Minstrel died at the hospital for injuries receiv- ed while attempting to board an elevated train. Almost in a week's time have two good quartets lost a very valuable member, the other being Mr. Will Hayden of the famous Blackstone Quartette. Everything is in readiness for Isham's newest and most pretentious effort. "King Rastus," and rehearsals are now going on of this brilliant musical comedy. The scenic display will be gorgeous, all from the studio of Gates & Morange, while the costuming will bear comparison with any ever seen with an attraction of this class. The company numbering about thirty five is composed of the pick of the colored profession, and includes the famous minstrel star, Billy Kersands, Mallory Bros. and Brooks. Tom Brown, Smart & Williams, Marion Henry, S. H. Dudley, etc. Frank Mallory will be stage director. Perhaps the most enthusiastic member of the company is Billy Kersands, this being his first appearance outside of minstrelsy in many years. He is anxiously awaiting the opening as he feels that as "King Rastus" he has a part in which he will make the hit of his career. "King Rastus" is a legitimate musical comedy and is the work of Mr. E. Henry Gurney, a Boston journalist. The season opens Aug. 14, and includes a Pacific coast tour. Manager Isham is elated over the prospect of a big season, and says that the whole outlook appears bright and rosy. Charles R.Parker of Rusco & Holland's Big Minstrels Festival, writes.—We have just finished the first week of season 1900-01. Business has been magnificent. We have been playing up here around Lake Michigan and the weather is very nice and cool, especially evenings. Mr. Rusco can be seen at any old time in his automobile. Our street parade is a winner and our two bands are improving wonderfully under the able direction of Prof. James Lacy and at night the two bands plays together and we use three saxophones. The bands are now handling very creditably, morning, noon and night in "Vienna," "The American Patrol," "Verdi's Illtrovitore" and many others. Mr. Tom McIntosh is singing the "Ghost of the Coon" and keeps the roaring in his own original monologue, and judging from the repeated encores, they surely must enjoy Mr. Rusco's new pedodies on the Blue and the Gray and you will love them. Willie Turk is quite a favorite and as a vocalist, is quite a success. He is rendering that beautiful ballad, "When I Think of You." W.A. Dixon, America's renowned tenor, is singing, "I'd Like to Hear that Song Again," and has never failed to get an encore. He says boys I am in good form this season. Hilliard Brewer and Alfred Lee holds the audience spell-bound in their great double contortion act. This is the only double contortion act in the "biz." We play nearly all the big cities this season. August and September will find us us in Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Indianapolis and other big ones. Mr. Will Junker, who goes with the Nashville Students was a visitor at Waukegan, Ill., also Mr. Thomas Culligan of the No.2 show. We are resting to-day (Sunday) in Flint, Mich., as we show here to-morrow (Monday) night and we have just partaken of a very fine dinner prepared by our chef, Mr. Anthony Pate, and we certainly did justice to the spread which is very natural as everyone knows Mr. Pate can cook.

"I suppose your mind is thoroughly made up to leave us Jack, my son, and nothing will change your purpose. Yet as your father, I feel it my urgent duty, since you are determined upon going, to warn you of the many dangers that lie in the pathway of the youth, who leaves his father's humble cottage to begin life in the city. There are many lurking evils, my boy, to entrap the feet of the unsuspecting; to beguile the innocent from the teachings of their parents. Whilst I admire the motives acturing this step. I cannot bring myself to believe you will find the task an easy one. Remember, you leave behind two hearts that shall anxiously await your homecoming again, and shall pray, incessantly for Divine Providence to guide and steer you clear of the many jagged rocks which lie, so prominently in the pathway of a young man, just entering life upon his own account. Let the story of the prodigal son keep you, my boy from all evil." The foregoing remarks were uttered by a white-haired old man, perhaps sixty years of age. His brow was deeply seamed and furrowed by the hand of time; many cares and sorrows had left their ineffaceable lines upon his face. With one brown, toil-stained hand lying across his knee, and supporting his chin in the other, with his elbow resting upon the small table, which stood by him sat the father of Jack Ashton. The family, consisting of his father mother and himself had just finished their evening repast, during which, Jack had made known his purpose of going abroad for the vacation, in quest of employment, to raise money requisite to defray the expense of his tuition for the incoming term, at college. The old man's remarks had a visible effect upon Jack and the tears sprang to his eyes. He mastered his emotion, however, and, in as cheerful manner as he could rally, assured his father, as best he could, of the good fruits that would result from the step he was about to take. "You see father, the years are going rapidly by, and I am fast nearing the age of maturity." He went on in rebuttal to some further remonstrances, on the part of the old man, "I realize what a burden I am upon you, and have concluded it is quite my duty, under the circumstances, to do all I can toward earning sufficient money, during the present vacation, that my courses in school may not be stopped. Deeply as I regret leaving my dear little home which is associated with so many tender memories, many as will be the tears I shall shed, in silent thought of you and mother, I feel, at the same time, it would be unmanly for me to remain longer a pronounced care and burden on you both when I can, at least, be earning my keep and lay by a little money." The arguments of the young man were so plausible and convincing, that, after some hesitancy, the old man acquiesced in the young man's plans and it was agreed that Jack, their only child, in whom was centered their fondest hopes and expectations, should go to Chicago during vacation and remain at the house of an uncle and seek some suitable employment. Feeling very happy over the victory he had scored in winning his parents over to his views of the situation, Jack went up stairs with a light heart to pack his few personal belongings in his portmantean. Upon reaching his room, a sense of despondency stole over him. Seating himself upon the bed, he bowed his head in his hands. He sat thus, for some time in silent meditation, going over in his mind no doubt, the many happy hours he had passed in that dear little room, which he soon would vacate, perhaps, forever! In fancy, he was living over again, all the happy past; embracing that period of one's life which recalls so many tender memories and departed joys. Days in which there were no sorrows, no cares, no perplexing questions of an un-known future; but all one long, perpetual dream of innocence and unbroken happiness. While seated there he fell to thinking, would life ever hold such days of complete joy for him again. Gazing out of the window his restless eyes scanned THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER many familiar scenes over which he had gamboled in the by-gone days of the long ago. The village spires and steeples rose before his eyes in the gathering twilight as phantom spectres. The melancholy chimes of their vespers seemed to reverberate a solemn warning of the great pain and sorrow that was to come into his life; yet it passed him by unheeded, and was lost upon the balmy breezes. He was too completely wrapped in the solitude of his own reflections and was oblivious to all around him, save the tender recollections of his boyhood. With a gesture of impatience he aroused himself, and, walking to the open window, placing his hands on either side, stood locking out into the little garden beneath. "Ah well," said he with a deep-drawn sigh, "the quicker it is over with, the better. I see quite clearly, that I shall have to burn the bridges connecting me with the past, if I would succeed in this undertaking. I must neither falter nor turn back. No; my future, is what I make it!" Ah, dear reader, with what an avalanche of sorrow, with what tears and anguish emanating from a broken heart did he recall those words. Going to the small old fashioned closet which was made in the wall, he began to mechanically remove from it his scant supply of clothing; consisting of his Sunday suit, which was beginning to show the ravages of time and long use—an extra pair of trousers of some light material, three shirts, some collars and neckties, together with a few handkerchiefs completed the list of his effects. As he laid them upon the bed the tears stole softly down his cheeks. "How different," he thought, "would matters have been with him, had nature blessed him with parents possessed of one half of the world's goods it had, so generously bestowed upon those of his two companions and playmates Arthur Brown and Shirley Moreland. "No matter," said he, biting his lips, I mean by hard work and perseverance, to make my way in this world that the triumph in the end may be all the sweeter when I can look back upon my present circumstances with pride and say, to all the world. I am a self-made man." Alas, how often have many another formed the same noble resolutions only to see them destroyed and fall a mass of worthless ruins, when assailed by the first temptation? How many young men are there to day, to whom these lines will recall the same strong determinations of Jack Ashron? Who, whilst under the illusive influence of a magnified ability to combat with this world, and its struggling masses, for supremacy and distinction among their fellow beings, allowed themselves to be heedlessly launched upon the billowy sea of self will, only to shik quickly to the bottom in disregard, dishonor and shame; when the waters surge over them, the waves roll on and they are forgotten. When Jack had completed his arrangements, preparato to his departure and his little companion had been neatly strapped and pushed under the bed, he sat down and folded his hands listlessly in his lap, finally drifting into a deep reverie. He was going over in his mind, all the things he would accomplish in the future; of his many conquests; of the gigantic schemes he would plan and operate. He pictured himself in after life, when all he had striven for had been attained and his name had been enrolled upon the list of successful men. He thought of the many and various charities he would institute and su port, and the thousand and one empty imaginations, common to a feverish and excited mind enthralled him. The striking of the village clock announcing the hour of nine, recalled him to his surroundings. He roused himself and hastily began undressing; a few moments later he was sleeping soundly, dreaming of Chicago, and what the morrow had in store for him. The sun was high in the heavens, when his mother's voice awoke him from his slumbers calling him down to breakfast. He arose and dressing himself quickly, took his companion and descended to the quiet little dining-room How the picture, that met his gaze, came back to haunt his memory ever afterward. His mother a tall, delicate and refined old lady, was busily engaged in spreading the cloth and arranging the dishes upon the table; while the delicious odor coming from the kitchen of ham and eggs, and delicate light rolls showed that Nancy, the cook and their only servant was a mistress of the culinary art. His father, raising his eyes from his morning paper, wished him a pleasant good-morning, to which, Jack replied in his usual manner. Somehow the whole scene presented such a perfect picture of domestic felicity and home-comforts that Jack never entirely succeeded in banishing it from his memory. With the years that followed and the sorrow they brought, when his once brilliant eyes, the pride of his mother, had long since sacrificed their lustre to the wine cup and excessive dissipations, through the blinding tears that intrusively flooded them upon recollection of this last morning spent at home, he could always see this group of dear faces and the memory almost broke his heart. Breakfast o'er, Leonard Ashton arosa, and put on his hat, kissed his wife as was his wont each morning before going to the quarries; then, turning to Jack, he took his hand, and there was the suspicion of moisture in his eyes as he bade his son good bye and God speed on his mission, remarking as he withdrew his hand from Jack's, in which he left a crisp, twenty dollar bill that the light in the window should ever be trimmed and burning to beckon him home again, should his undertaking prove a failure." To this, Jack replied assuring him that he would certainly be master of the situation. A few words more and father and son had parted, forever! Turning to his mother, Jack caught her tenderly in his arms and kissed her affectionately, promising to write each week. Looking at his little silver watch he saw he had but fifteen minutes before the train was due. Catching up his vipul he hurried off with a light step, in an opposite direction to that of his father, toward the station, looking back occasionally, and waving his hand at his mother who stood in the doorway, of the little, ivy-thatched cottage, until her beloved son passed out of her sight. (GREAT MIND MOLDERS) The State Teachers' Association of Kentucky Met in Frankfort. The State Teachers' Association of Kentucky held its annual session of the present year in the chapel of the State Normal, Frankfort, Ky., July 4 to 6, inclusive. An intelligent and progressive element of the teaching force of the State was quite well represented. Although the representation did not come up to the sanguine expectations of some, yet a few of the most cultured, experienced and prominent educators of both races were in evidence and rendered excellent and helpful service. Their papers, short addresses and lively participation in the discussion of new methods of instruction and school government, were interesting and enlightening. One pleasing and commendable feature of the exercises was the personal presence, with two or three exceptions, of those to whom subjects were assigned. The thoughtful preparation they made for the occasion reflected great credit upon them and the association. The papers read were pleasing and instructive exhibitions of advanced thought and careful research. The courtesies and privileges of the association were cordially extended to Hon. H. V. McChesney, Superintendent of Public Instruction; President Frost, of Berea College; Dr. Kennedy, State Missionary; Baptist Church, and other distinguished visitors, who freely participated in the discussion of the papers submitted. The deliberations of the association were characterized by the culture and refinement befitting the positions its active members hold in the religious, social and literary realm. A broad, noble and racial spirit of manhood and womanhood, wanting in many of our public gatherings, gave character and dignity to our last association. If the liberal spirit manifested in the last meeting characterize the deliberations of the next, I see no reason why those in the future should not be greatly increased in interest and attendance. The entertainment given in honor of visiting teachers by the Ladies' Improvement Club of Frankfort and the reception given by the Normal faculty were unique affairs and added greatly to the social enjoyment of the guest. The very cordial invitation of President Frost, for the association, to meet at Berea next year was promptly and unanimously accepted, and it is earnestly desired by President J. E. Wood, his official associations and members of the association, that the forthcoming session be largely attended. Personal and collective interest or curiosity should prompt our teachers to attend, if for no other reason than to view the historic grounds and buildings consecrated to the Christian education of the youth of both races.

Wright Discovers a Cure for Lost Manhood and ends it Free to Every Sufferer Who Will Write for it Gratitude is one of the noblest impulses of the human heart and in few instances has this fine quality been so conspicuously exemplified as in the case of George B. Wright, of Marshall. Mr. Wright is a merchant and well known citizen of Marshall, Mich., who was permanently cured of lost manhood and nervous debility after declining health for years. He now devotes his life to helping other men who suffer as he once suffered Mr. Wright offers to send his medical prescription that effected a cure in his case to every reader who is suffering to day-as he suffered. All who will drop him a letter asking for a copy of the prescription will receive it by return mail free of charge. The following editorial by A. N. Tally, M. D., regarding Mr. Wright's prescription for lost manhood appeared in the December issue of the United States Health Reports, published at Washington, D. C.; We, as the highest American authority, on all matters of health, sanitation and hygiene, are constantly receiving letters of inquiry about a reliable cure for lost strength in men. Therefore we have ordered an investigation to be made into the subject, and our medical staff found there were many so-called cures on the market, but that many were worthless and some actually harmful. Therefore when we came upon the prescription furnished free by George B. Wright, a merchant of Marshall, Mich., we instituted examination and found that its wonderful efficacy depended upon its being exactly compounded according to proper chemical requirements in order to establish the proper chemical actions and reactions in the human system, and that it should especially, and above all, contain each and every ingredient named in the prescription, otherwise it would be quite inactive and worthless. Properly mixed and containing everything called for in the prescription, its effect upon the nerve centers is truly wonderful and its nerve tonic properties easily surpassed all ordinary methods of medication. Among the benefactors of the race may be mentioned the said George B. Wright, inasmuch that he gives this grand discovery free to all who write for it. Taken according to directions, it builds up the weak and restores to full size and vigor the nerve muscles. It brings hope and cheer and lifts up the discouraged man so that he once more enjoys the beauties of nature and the pleasures of life. Failure in business and love surely falls upon him who is weakened physically and mentally, and his sad condition is at once relieved and a new man made of him who uses this prescription. Therefore, upon the highly favorable report of our medical staff we extend to George B. Wright's prescription for lost manhood the full editorial and official endorsement of the United States health reports. As certain as a wound leaves a scar, and as sure as effect follows cause, do men live to repent their follies and indiscretions in weakness and suffering. The tortured sufferer may bear no tell-tale marks of ruin upon his face to betray his lost manhood. He goes to his grave a human wreck, and never tells of his sufferings for fear of shame. Such mental anguish at times drives him to the verge of desperation, and he is easy prey for those vultures in human form—quack doctors—who hold out alluring hopes of cure only to disappoint, and after robbing him of his money, plunge him into absolute despair. No one can appreciate these horrors of lost manhood except he who suffered them. No one can help such sufferers except he who knows a cure and has himself been restored to full manhood. A notable case of lost manhood in an extreme case was effected in the person of George B. Wright, a music dealer and well known citizen of Marshall, Mich. Mr. Wright for years suffered the agony of lost vital powers. He saw his physical power go from him as the result of insidious disease, until he was reduced to a condition of senility, and the best doctors in the country gave him up to die. Like many others, he tried the various remedies offered by specialists for the treatment of weaknesses peculiar to men, and it was this experience that drove him to a little study and research for his own benefit. He asserts that his ten years' suffering, both mentally and physically, was turned to unbounded joy in a single night through a rare combination of medicines that literally made him young again. It is the prescription of this discovery that his enthusiasm leads him to offer free to any man, young or old, who feels that his animation or the fire of ambition has left him and needs something that will brace him up and enable him to be prepared for any undertaking which may present itself. There is no question but what in his individual case the results were just as described, and it seems quite probable that any man who believes himself to be weak may profit by sending for this free prescription. Many people wonder how he can afford to send this prescription free, but it costs him little to do so, and he feels a philanthropic interest in giving weak men an opportunity to cure themselves. A request to G. B. Wright, music dealer, box No. 908. Marshall, Mich., for his free prescription will be promptly and privately complied with by return mail.

The services last Sunday were fairly attended, the pastor was called from the pulpit on Sunday morning, just as he had announced his text, to the bedside of his father, who was dangerously ill. Mr Wm H. Gilliam died Wednesday late. The physicians held out very little hopes of his recovery. Rev. Gilliam, his son, has the sincere sympathy of the entire membership and friends, and their earnest prayers that his father may be spared to the family for many years. Mr. James Y. Gilliam, a brother, and Rev. and Mrs. Woolfolk son-in-law and daughter were telegraphed for, and are at Rev. Gilliam's. The State organizations are actively at work, and under the efficient leadership of Gov. Knox, of New York; Gov. Morgan of Kentucky; Gov. Bouyer of North Carolina; Gov. Worthington of Indiana; Gov. Crysell of Tennessee; and Gov. Patterson of Ohio and their able corps of State officials expect to raise a sum sufficient to meet all obligations. $221.00 was paid last Saturday by the Trustees in full settlement of amount due on the building. The City Epworth Leagues will hold their next meeting at Broad Ripple Park, and Simpson Chapel will be represented by a large delegation. Owing to the illness of his father, Rev. Gilliam was not able to attend his District Conference at Rockport this week. The Sunday School will render a special program next Sunday morning. The Rev. Chas. Jones preached for the pastor last Sabbath, and will be in the city for several days.

Passes Away at his Home in this City After a Short Illness. "Kid" Roberson the gentlemanly and well known light-weight boxer who has been making this city his home for the past year died early Tuesday morning after an illness of four weeks. Roberson was taken ill on his way to Detroit, Mich., where he had assurance of a fight with Curley Supplies and other light-weights. This was four weeks ago. Finding his condition serious, he returned immediately to Indianapolis. An abscess in the bowels caused his death. He had the best medical attention in the city. Roberson has had numerous prominent fights. He has met Bobby Dobbs and Joe Gans, both of whom gained decisions over him, the latter's being questionable. His remains were taken to his home in Los Angles, Cal., where lives his father, mother and three sisters. He was twenty-nine years old and unmarried.

The Phelp's Hall Bible Training School conducted in connection with the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute offers exceptional opportunities for young men who wish to prepare for the Christian Ministry. A special building known as the Phelp's Hall Bible Training School is set apart for this department of the work. It contains a chapel, library, reading room, office, three recitation rooms and forty sleeping rooms. The teaching is wholly undemnominated, the purpose being to help all denominations and not to antagonize any. The cost of board is $$$ per month and students are given a chance to work out a portion of this, leaving as a rule, but five or six dollars to pay in cash. A few who have no money are given an opportunity to work out all of their expenses. Lack of means need debar none. The teaching in this department is free. The next school term begins September. The next school term may be had by addressing Booker T. Washington, Principal, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama. A Plain Idea. Lincoln, Neb., special: That sleepy tone, characteristic of the South, is practically unknown in the West. The daily flow in the cities of the West is not like the lazy wave near the sea shore, slow in their destined splash, but the stream of energetic people is like the current of a busy river, flowing onward, dodging impediments, evading occasional crags and at last making its deposit in the great water receptacle. There glory awaits them for accomplishing their purpose. WM. N. JOHNSON. Pennsylvania Lines Special Sunday Train Service Bethany Park Assembly.

Puffs under the eyes; red nose; pimple-blotched, greasy face don't mean hard drinking always as much as it shows that there is BILE IN THE BLOOD. It is true, drinking and over-eating overloads the stomach, but failure to assist nature in regularly disposing of the partially digested lumps of food that are dumped into the bowels and allowed to rot there, is what causes all the trouble. CASCARETS will help nature help you, and will keep the system from filling with poisons, will clean out the sores that tell of the system's rottenness. Bloated by bile the figure becomes unshapely, the breath foul, eyes and skin yellow; in fact the whole body kind of fills up with filth. Every time you neglect to help nature you lay the foundation for just such troubles. CASCARETS will carry the poisons out of the system and will regulate FUNERAL DIRECTORS 1 Everything in ODD LOTS and TAN SHOES must be sold. The prices quoted are less than cost.
