"Success is a Shy Bird"-Advertisers Capture It Through THE FREEMAN THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XIV NUMBER 27. POWER OF THE RACE AND THE PROGRESS OF THE MASSES OF THE PEOPLE DE- PEND UPON THE COM- BINED EFFORTS MADE TO DISCOURAGE A GROWING EVIL By Encouraging the Young Negro Who Displays Business Ability and Race Pride--"Live True" is the Motto. Memphis, Tenn., Special—"General Taylor never surrenders." These words were spoken by that gallant American when it seemed he was on the verge of an awful defeat at the hands of the Mexicans. The historians of this country know how this brave man fought and won that great battle against overwhelming odds. To day there are young men fighting the battle of life surrounded, it seems, by the hosts of hell. Everywhere we see young men in business; some are tailors, some are card printers, some are stove dealers and many are engaged in other lines of business. These beings are fighting a greater battle and at greater odds than the General of whom we speak. The old Negro will say, "Dese young niggers ain't a bit of count." The Negro preachers, with a few exceptions, will say, "I have no time to speak to my congregation about race pride and patronizing race industry, but I must get all the dollars for myself under the cover of 'you must give to Christ.' The school teacher will say, "I cannot afford to tell my pupils to stick to their race in all enterprises, as the school board is composed of white folks, and if they know that I tell my people to spend their money with those of their kind, they will take my job away, and Lord, what would become of me? There are young women among us who are engaged in milliner work, dress making and many other honest pursuits who are growing discouraged and are almost ready to surrender to the devil and all his angels of dissipation. The young men are forced to become rounders, thieves and fall into the pits of ruin. Why is this? Because these watchmen on the walls, who stand before the people and cry out against these poor aged people and everybody else who do not give their last cent to them, fail to teach our people how to live true to each other as well as to die. Your jails and penitentiaries will continue to fill and your girls will continue to seek houses of ill-fame as long as these leaders fail to encourage the patronage of places that give employment to these people. In the face of all these discouragements we say, young people, look on the bright side of life and cry like him mentioned above, and say, "You may push me down when I strive to be something; you may ignore me when I try to do something, but, by the help of God, I'll never surrender." The time is at hand when we should quit this way of calling for money for ourselves only, but should help others by speaking a good word for that which they are engaged in. Because, when we work, we are taking care of the temple of God. Why is it our ministers never tell their members to visit the colored book store and reading room? We saw a certain class leader go where he had no business. Brother, God saw you. How on earth can that brother, who sat in church last Sunday, profess a hope in Christ when he smelled so badly with whisky? Those women who live with white men should be driven from that church. We do not want our families associating with them. They can put in more money than anybody else, but that will not save their souls from hell. People, for God's sake, draw a line. Happy hours for the children at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Persley. 34 S. Second street.—There was given a birthday party in honor of their little son, James C. Persley. on Friday evening, June 28, 1901. The program of the evening was music and dancing. At 9:30 p. m. the nice dainty refreshments were served. Those present were Mr. Jerome Foster, William Persley, Chas. Hurt and Mr. Johnnie Profect; Miss Julia J. Armstrong, Miss Julie Hadded, Miss Celestine Gross, Miss Hattie Profect, Miss Henretta Miles, Miss Artenia Smith, Miss Myrtle May Buchannan, Miss Susie Vance and also the three little charming sisters, Lizzie, Lena and Willie Persley. James C. Persley left the city, Sunday, June 30, for Courtland, Miss., where he will spend a few weeks with his grandmamma and papa. All his little friends wish him much success on his trip. The marriage of Miss Ethel C. Jones, the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Jones, to Mr. Henry Jackson will take place at the residence of her mother, 46 Stewart avenue, Wednesday, July 10, 1901. Mrs. Hannah Burton, of Jackson, Miss., is in the city, the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Janie Williams, 218 Elliott street. On leaving she will go to the Tougaloo University to accept her former position. We are sorry to note the illness of Misses Mary Holmes, Dora Williams and Blanche Poke, of 17 and 19 Winter street. Miss Corine Saunders of 100 Desota street has returned from Kansas City. We invite our many readers to patronize Morgan & Carlisle, stove and range repairers. All parts kept on hand. Special attention paid to putting up heaters and base-burners. Gasoline stoves a specialty. All work guaranteed. 189 Beale street. Master Lucien Searcy will represent The Freeman. We trust that our friends will support him in this great work. The Bluff City Card Works, 315 Union street. Cards 10 and 15 cents per dozen. Giles N. Toole, manager. Mail orders strictly attended to. All members of the K. of P's. are requested to meet at their hall, 215 Beale street, at 2 o'clock p. m. July 9, 1901, as the State Grand Lodge meets on that date. By order of W. H. Wells, Deputy Grand M. We take great pleasure in stating to our many readers that we have had the opportunity to meet Prof. E. M. Woods, author of "The Negro in Etiquette." He is in the city in the interest of his work. Words cannot express the grandness of the book; every line is full of spicy matter which the race should read and digest carefully. To some it may seem a little rash; but, to use the phrase of Prof. B. T. Washington, we say the "Greatest friend to the Negro is the one who tells him of his faults as well as his virtues." The book condemns the Negro who is so low as to seek for or marry a white wife. It also treats of the Negro worshipping the white man too much. Many other things we wish time would permit us to comment on, but we will stop with pointing out one chapter that condemns the Negro youth who raises his hat to a white girl around whose home he had been employed, but when one of our young ladies come along, who is far superior to the white in character, he merely says "howdy-do, ma'am." We think it ought to find a place in every library. Special to the readers of The Freeman.—Please solve this problem for me: "How is it that our people can take other papers daily that do not appreciate their patronage? By other papers we are called brutes and every other insignificant name. Yet it seems that our people appreciate it more than they do the paper that honors them, speaks for and tries to hold up their character as other papers do those of their race. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JULY 6. 1901 TUSKEGEE. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. AS OTHERS SEE IT. AS OTHERS SEE IT. May God speed the day when every colored man and woman will consider their great mistake when they fail to take this paper. Remember that when we fail to take this paper we are leaving off the part of the Bible which says, "A house divided against itself can lot stand." Our little dew drop town, alias "Klondyke" is waking up. Mrs. N. Ridley, president of the Home Circle, is doing all in her power to lift up humanity, and is laboring in the interest of The Freeman. Since Miss Susie A. Johnson, agent for the colored Freeman, has reached the eastern part of Memphis, where there are about 300 inhabitants situated in their own homes, quite a number of them are taking the paper. We are working like heroes in behalf of the paper. Mr. William Ridley owns a beautiful home in Klondyke, and is one of the most prominent citizens in that town. He will leave in a few months, accompanied by his wife, to tour the Northern States. There will be an excursion to Little Rock, Ark., July 13, 1901, also one to Hot Springs, Ark., July 27, 1901. Aaron Stevenson, manager. Colonel A. Stevenson and others are making a determined effort to have a carnival convene here in September that all business people can show their exhibits. Paintings, drawings, etc., will be in demand. Mrs. Tinnie Reid and daughters, of Lexington, Tenn., who has been the guests of friends and relatives at Klondyke, have returned home. One of the latest inventions by a member of our race is a machine that freezes ice cream by steam. It was invented by Mr. W. W. Nelson, of Klondyke. He commenced its construction July 23, 1900, and completed it May 20, 1901. To the Readers of The Freeman.—We, the sisters of the Home Circle of Klondyke, are glad of the opportunity to fill a space in the paper. We are engaged once a week in exercises, and hope to bring about unity and race pride. At our entertainment, last Monday night, we had a very nice program. Mr. Henry Hawkinson delivered an address on "What power there is in Women;" A. M. Harvey on "What glorious work the women are doing"; W. M. Ridley on "How the men are working against the cause of missions." Our donations to the poor have been thirty-seven meals, thirty-eight visits to the sick and many other acts of charity. The vice-president of the Circle, of Lexington, Tenn., was with us three days. Mrs. S. A. Bolton, of Bolton, Tenn., has returned home. Miss Mary Ridley, the daughter of Mrs. N. Ridley, president of our Circle, has been ill for two weeks, but is getting better. Mrs. Martha Hays, secretary. Miss Ida Srow has returned from St. Louis, Mo., where she went to visit friends. The Ragtime Opera Company closed a successful engagement at the Rialto, last week. They are now in Birmingham, Ala., and will return to this city at an early date. All of Memphis is waiting to greet this grand company of performers under the management of Mr. Lew Hall. The colored people of this city and throughout the Mississippi Valley will celebrate the 8th of August "Emancipation Day." The management will be in charge of Douglas Post No. 86, department of Tennessee, G. A.R. Excursions will be run from every city and town in this locality. Riverside Park has been secured and the best orators will form a part of the programme. The musie will be grand and the old soldiers PRICE FIVE CENTS, SINGLE COPY--SIX MONTHS, $5c: ONE YEAR,$1.50 will make one of the largest and prettiest parades ever witnessed since. the civil war. Five hundred voices will join in the singing of the old songs which filled the souls of these comrades in days which have passed and gone. Thousands of school children dressed all in white carrying flags and flowers will be a beautiful sight to behold. Lookout for the programme later. Get ready now that you may be in time. The old soldiers throughout the valley desiring to attend will please send name and regiment you served in to Post Commander R. H. Rideout, No. 40 Jessamine street, that you may be assigned to proper places in the parade. The Memphis district of the C. M. E. Church, held its district conference at Mt. Olive C. M.

BUSINESS MEN OF DISTINCTION Who Merit Special Notice--Others to Follow--General News that Will Interest Freeman Readers Far and Near--Society Notes. Princeton, Ky., Special—The Princetonians thought probably the Indianians would like to know how we in old Kentucky was progressing. I am much pleased to say that we are on the right road to success. For we have R. E. Lacy and S. Mo Goodwin on Main street as partners doing splendid business in the Grocery line. M. C. H. Holliday on same street in same business and is doing just as well. Geo. Bunyan on S. Jefferson street has an excellent barber trade, and has had much success with profession, ever since he first made a start was been many years ago. We also have Wm. Crump on N. Donavan street doing first class business in his grocery up in the extreme Northern part of Princeton, he handles every thing in the grocery line. There is Jerry Duke on Green street with the assistance of his wife he makes a fine living, you can get lunches there at all hours. W. M. Prince and Garrett treat you with so much hospitality at their ice cream parlor on Donavan street, that you are compelled to call again. They fan you with electric fans while you feast on their good cream and sherbert. We have Lee S. Gray and S. Tyson acting as stemming room bosses in two large tobacco factories. We also have one of the best doctors in the State regardless of color, in person of Dr. James T. Flemister. We have some extra fine rock masones who get more work than they can do. D J. Freeman, K. Johnson and Chas. Robey and of course we are over run with school teachers; yet our compete with any others Prof. S. McGoodwin and wife, S. P. McNary, Mrs. Cera Banks and many others. Mr. James Rucker is still doing well in grocery and lunch room back of the old Bank hotel. Our seamtresses can not be excelled Mrs. Jessie Hendon, Misses Adella Groom, Mary Adams, Mrs. Nancy Cantrell and others. I could tell you lots more about our Negro enterprises but not knowing how much space is allowed had better save some for the next time. This is only an introduction. Every body go over to Evansville tomorrow on the excursion and enjoy yourselves. The fare is very cheap. Mr. Dave Pittman, of Paducah, is in our city working up much interest in The Freeman. You should patronize all Negro journals. Miss Lula Jackson of Cadzes, Ky., is the guest of Mrs. Cloria Meeks of this city. Mr. James Rucker of the city was out on a spree of fishing and met with great luck last Monday. A party of young folks spent Sunday last at Cemilian Springs which was greatly enjoyed by all who went. Be careful boys how you vote today. Be sure and get the right one for your guide. News Notes. Vickburg, Miss., Special—Mrs. Fannie Thipin died at her home on Jackson road Tuesday night, June 11, after a brief illness. The deceased was a member of Mt. Heardon Baptist church and P. T. No. 3, Love and Charity. Her funeral was lavish, attended by many church and church officials. The eighth annual picnic given by the M. Y. V. R. R. Co. for the benefit of their employees was well attended. The train bearing the white excursionists, goong as far South as Portsmouth, was colored excursionists went as far North as Grace's Station, Miss. TOM THE TATTLER. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. Purposes, like eggs, unless they are hatched into actions, will run into decay.—Smiles. There are certainly some asinine persons in the profession. As I look at them I really wonder if it be possible for God to make a man or woman, and deny them any brains whatever. If these persons have any, one thing is certain, they are tight-headed. They need to butt their heads against a stone wall to loosen their brains, if they have any, then perchance reason will circulate in their "noggin's." Not long since there appeared a fair and manly criticism of Miss Robenson's recital in the Conservator, and I heard a little insignificant, ignorant performer denouncing the critic in unmeasured terms. It is only through sympathy that I do not call his name. Were I to do that probably the charge would be brought against me of wasting my ammunition on a conceited simpleton. I would not pay any attention to this fool's remark, were it not for the fact that many of our singers and performers take criticism as spite work, as something inimical. To criticise a colored person requires the greatest courage. It means the sacrifice of friendship and all that clings to it. If a man or woman sings abominably you must play traitor to your judgment and conscience, or be the next thing to murder, and possibly that. All this is the result of that ignorance and narrow-mindedness which underlies the colored profession, and which today has got it on the inline plane. Miss Robenson can extract more good from Mr. Morgan's criticism in one hour, than she can from the silly praise of those who tell her she did well, in a lifetime. Our professional brothers and sisters must look upon the fair-minded critic as a friend who tells them their faults. He shows them their weak places, and if the stuff is in them of which artists are made, every adverse criticism can be turned to profit. The Tattler welcomes Mr. Morgan to the field of criticism, and only wishes there were more of his kind in Chicago. He believes in the adage "ars est celare artem," and when he hears our professional singers with their crude art attempting the higher forms of art it wearies him "nogue ad nauseum" With one notable exception the Alhambra is a very bad place for the prima donna. There, it makes no difference who you are, unless you deliver the goods, my dear prima donnas, they will not stand for you. There is a vast difference between a Bethel or a Quinn chapel audience, and one at the Alhambra. At the former, the applause is the result of friendly feelings, while, at the latter, it is merit only that can get it. The song of the Chicago plebeian: Let the wealthy ones drink their wine, It may be simply divine; But as long as hot weather's here Give me my growler of beer. I wonder if Stephen Adams, when he brought into this world that happy creation of his "The Holy City" had any idea it would reach the hand organs of Chicago. Well, it has done so. "The Holy City" has had an unusually hard fate for a song of its artistic worth. It has passed through all kinds of excruciating tones from sopranos to basses. There is but one thing left to be done to it, and that is for the "Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Music" to gather up its remains and give them decent interment. It is a terrible thing to be popular even if you are nothing but a song. The weather is so warm that The Tattler is not inclined to write much. Before I close this letter, however, I would like to say our "Laundress" has been "fired." Her mistress detected her in the act of writing a poem entitled "My Sweetheart" and concluded to dispense with her services. Before this she had read a paper at the club of MOXON'S LINIMENT.

The paper was a master piece and has passed into laundry literature as a gem. We had made partial arrangements for a series of letters by a well-informed lady entitled the "Ups and downs of the profession," to take the place of the "Love-letters," but at the last moment our plans go all awry and we cannot give them. Our troubles are many. Job is not in it. Mr. Collin Coe has just announced he will not attend any more recitals or concerts, as it is proving injurious to his health. At any rate we will try to please the public. We are going to report in this column sometime soon a lecture by Mr. Gush A. Galoot, entitled the "Mistakes of Miller." Mr. Galoot says Moses is not in it. He will use stereopticon views to illustrate his lectures. Of course we are sorry to inform the public the stereopticon views cannot be reported but must be imagined. TOM THE TATTLER.

He was also a very philanthropic man, and was deeply interested in having a colored Odd Fellows' home established here. He was chairman of the Board of Trustees.

Springfield can truthfully boast of more waiters and cooks that can be drawn upon than any other city in the State outside of Chicago. In this city there are about two hundred waiters and abont 50 or 75 cooks that are able to | cope with any in this or any other State ‘in their profession. Too much credit cannot be given James W. Young of the Leland hotel for 60 many side waiters in this city. Never was there a time | when a man wanted to learn to wait table, it he applied to Mr. Youog, could get place at the Leland on the table of the clerks and other men who are allowed to eat in the large dining room, and as soon as they are eligible they are placed on one of the transient tables, and it can be trathfally said that when Mr. Young turns a man loose from the Leland he is competent to hold a six chair table in any first class hotel in the United States or abroad. Mr. Sarnuel |. Willis, Loper, Sid and Tom Strong and Mr. MeFadden of the Leland cafe have done a great deal toward turning out Enropean waiters. Messrs, Moses | McCloud, James Madison, Richard Ross, William Holt, Greenwood, Cyrus Sap- pington, William D. Sappington, Arthar Young, Henry Clay and Alex Morrison have been the means of a large number of cooks being in the city as the above named are the most popnlar chefs, and at all times and occasions these men have considered ita pleasure to teach men who were under them the cuisine art. As the State Encampment is to commence the first of next month and fs to last about nine weeks, a large num- ber of unemployed waiters and cooks are expected to be employed at Camp Lincoln. Mr. James Madison will be the chef at General Reece's headquar- ters, while at the present time it is some- |what undecided as to whether Champ Singleton or Thomas Walker will be the headwaiter. Messrs. George J. Board, Dan Love and several other cooks are expecting to adorn the white uniform and French cap to serve in the capacity of chef at the several regimental head- quarters from week to week. The hotels in this city that employ American men waiters aro the Leland, St. Nicholas and Silas. While the places that employ Enropean waiters are the Leland cafe, Sam L Willis, Strong Bros, Loper and several others. The hotel men of Spring- field are the ideal men of their class, in- tellectuaily, socially and financially and they possess the honor and esteem of the best people of the city with whom they associate.—A Waiter and Cook. ‘He Earned One Hundred Thousand Dollars from Tips in Hotel.

A New Yorker, who lunches or dines at a club is freed from one of the worries and dangers of metroplitan life. No well ordered club will permit 9 gratuity of any kind to any of its help. It’s too much hike feeing the household butler orchef. Some people think that in all other places except the club or the home, yon are nobody and get little service, without the fee. In some localities there would seem to be rales and rates fixed by custom that cannot be overlooked or broken. This habit of tipping received an amusing exemplifica- tion in a New York restaurant the other evening. Let the colored waiter tell the story in his own way. “A gentleman came here with three friends. He ordered a dinner for the four. I gave them the best service 1 could for an hour and a-half. The bill was $4 95, “I took the nickel change back on my little tray. The gentleman put nis finger on it, and pushed it toward me. “That’s for you,’ he said. “I shook my head. ‘No, sir; 1 couldn't think of taking it.’ “Why not?’ he anid, “Because, sir, I couldn't think of your walking home.” “What do you mean by that?” he asked. “Why, sir, aid I with all my dignity, ‘no gentleman would offer a waiter s nickel fora dinner like that if he had any more money about him.- Then I walked off and he put the money in his pocket and left the room.”—From Hotel Live. a en lcs Ironton, Mo., Special.—We are very happy to state that we had @ good rain last week.

A SUGGESTION TO COLORED YOUNG MEN. To the colored people of Indianapolis who were contemporaneous with the Broyles, the Revels, the Turners and the Browns of a half century ago I need no introduction as a friend of their race, but that generation has mostly passed away, and I find myself an old man with no abatement of the interest in the welfare of the Negro that in antwerval times cost no little sacrifice of time and money, surrounded by such a host as I never expected to see in Indianapolis with no fear of the fugitive slave law. Many of them are quite fulfilling my predictions as to capabilities, but many are not. It is in the interest of these that I wish to make a suggestion through the Freeman. I am too old to take the lead in this work as I took in corresponding work for the Negro fifty years ago; besides it is not necessary. There are educated and influential colored men to lead now, but it would be a pleasure to meet a few dozen colored men, especially young men, and talk it over and make suggestions. You will get no mass meeting for such a purpose, but a dozen would do to begin with. T. A. GOODWIN, 1220 College Ave. Indianapolis, Ind. We take great pleasure in publishing the above letter from the pen of Mr. T. A. Goodwin, a highly respected white gentleman of this city. His letter is interesting throughout, appealing at once to the thoughtful of either race. His observation as it pertains to the industrial situation is timely. How to better employ the young colored men and women is certainly the burning question with the colored people. It is not believed, however, that these, the young colored men and women, are as studious of the situation as they might be, or else they would use up their known opportunities, limited as they are. Mr. Goodwin thinks a Tuskegee should be established about many of the larger cities of the North. He is not alone in the matter. The times imperatively demand institutions that prepare colored youths for skilled work of all kinds. He would be glad to meet some of the representative citizens THE FRE AN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPE of this city with the hopes of inaugurating the Tuskegee idea in this community. It is to be hoped that lack of interest will not defeat the good intentions of Mr. Goodwin. There are hundreds of good white men in this town, many with money, who would gladly welcome such a movement. They would encourage it with their means, by their individual effort and influence. THEY PETITION THE VIRGINIA CONVENTION, C. I. Withrow, R. L. Brown, E. R. Harvey, O. J. Derrit, A. A. Galvin and F. T. Wave, prominent Negroes of Virginia, have petitioned that State's Constitutional Convention as to the Negroes' education and elective franchise. After a long preamble that sets forth the great part that Virginia has played in the affairs of the country and its long and honorable record of patriotic sons, the petition reads as follows: Keep open the school house and opportunities for improvement and the Negro is satisfied. Then he will not populate the fields and crowd into the cities, and as he becomes educated—not one out of a thousand will be a convict. But Virginia, with such lofty traditions and sacred memories of her glorious past, and an ambition to produce leaders indeed, of the best political thought of the still more glorious future, cannot suffer North Carolina to stand with a fairer name on the pages of history which maintains the public school system as heretorefa; and did not throw the Negro upon his own taxable property for an education. The petitioners are certainly acting for the good name of the State of Virginia when they ask that the Negroes' education be not reduced to the extent of their taxable property. They cite North Carolina, which State threatened the same conditions, and ask that Virginia act as well. We do not believe Virginia covets the reputation of persecuting or even punishing the Negroes by cutting off educational advantages. A lesson, however, will be taught Negroes everywhere; that boasted wealth may be put to the test, even should Virginia forbear to do her worst. No State has as yet went further than to threaten the restriction of school funds to the use of the respective races according to the funds paid in by them respectively. It is to be hoped that Virginia will not establish a precedent. The very respectful petition, speaking on disfranchisements, says: The Negro will exult in any step toward purifying and exalting citizenship in the State of Virginia, and hail with delight an impartial test to effect the desired result. In fact, the policy which has been lifting up the Negro for the last thirty years, creating pride in him for his government, her flag and statesmen, has never brought defeat to Virginia in any worthy enterprise. Consider him as a soldier; never from any mission of war upon which you sent him did he desert the stars and stripes, or prove himself disloyal to his State. From the war of independence, in which Crispus Attucks fell at Boston to our recent war with Spain—he felt himself at home fighting beside his white Virginia soldier. To require him not to vote, therefore, by an amendment to the constitution that would not affect others after his valor, loyalty, fidelity to his country's cause and unbounded confidence in the white man—would be discouraging to him and to his many white friends in Virginia. For that else can he boast, except as the poet sings, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." Again, the petitioners show their very good sense in approving any plan that will exalt the citizenship of the State. They desire to see impartial laws enacted, which will not fail to affect white men when they fail to subscribe to the conditions. THE JOHN BANKS' CASE. John Banks is once more a free man. We do not hesitate to say that we are real glad of it, not that we are in the habit of condoning offenses no matter by whom committed; but the Banks' affair was out of the ordinary. The legal aspect of the case will not be considered here, but will be left to the court that got him out of his trouble so far and to the one that is said to have erred when it sent him to prison. We said on another occasion that everything in politics and war has been held to be fair. This, however, presumes him guilty as the lower court held. Admitting guilt for the sake of the contention, we still insist that the attempt at bribery falls in the category of things political. The practical politician that knows nothing of any species of bribery, that never heard of any such thing is invited to stand up. The moral aspect of the case, aside from the legal and political aspects, is deserving attention. Admitting guilt for the sake of the contention again, Banks should have been restrained; not led into temptation "Lead us not into temptation," is Christ's prayer, "But deliver us from evil." Man at his best is prone to evil—decreed by his weakling flesh. What would Christ have done in the matter? From the three standpoints it appears that Mr. Banks has had more than his share of punishment. Legally, alone, he may be freed; the political and moral aspects standing for nothing, perhaps, even though they be the weightier influences. We trust that the new evidence by which he hopes to be freed may be forthcoming and that it will not be disappointing when it comes. By the death of Judge William A. Woods, this city has lost a valued citizen and an able jurist Senator Fairbanks, commenting on his worth, says: "He was a man of uncommon ability. There was no judge abler than he upon the bench, nor one more enamored of his work. He had 'a conscience for the law' and devoted himself to it with singleness of purpose. His written opinions are splendid examples of lucid, vigorous English, and many of them will be quoted in the future as sound expositions of the law; as leading precedents. "He always met the demands upon him frankly and courageously. He never shrank from responsibilities. Withal, he was a man of great modesty. His power was never underestimated by anyone except himself. It can be truthfully said of Judge Woods that he was a great and just judge. In his death we have lost an eminent and patriotic citizen, and the bench has lost one of its wisest and foremost members." One of the schools of this city for colored children has been called the W. D. McCoy school. Mr. McCoy was a prominent Negro, who, after serving the schools faithfully for a term of years, was appointed minister to Liberia, Africa, where he died while making preparation to return to this country. The naming of the school is a fitting recognition of his value to the community where he spent many years. He was a man of high ideals and sterling qualities. He was loved and honored by all. *PROMINENT NEGROES. I HON. WILLIAM H. CLIFFORD, of Cleveland, Ohio, who defeated Hon Harry Smith for the nomination as Representative to the Ohio Legislature.

OUR JOURNALIST'S AND LITERARY FOLKS By Charles Alexander. Sour Saints and Sweet Sinners by Carlos Martyn. The Abbey Press, New York. 245 pages. In this, the third edition of Dr. Martyn's very interesting book, Sour Saints and Sweet Sinners, some very wity stories are told in connection with some very sprightly bits of philosophy that is suggestive and helpful. The church, its organizations, its executives, are given close attention. "In the mental realm," says the author "Mediocre Ability, with perseverance, often overtakes and out strips the most splendid talent, when indolent, intensity and concentration effect what neither genius nor imitation can do. A person who is deaf hears with his eyes. A blind man sees with his fingers. The strength of a missing organ emigrates into some other organ. A minus on this side is balanced by a plus on that side." This philosophy is verified every day in the life of the average man who succeeds in spite of weak points but because his will power and his determination is strong. The Book World, an illustrated monthly magazine, published by the Siegel-Cooper Company of New York and Chicago, contains as its frontispiece for June, 1901, a splendid portrait of Mr. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the poet. The Children of the Nation. A Study of Colonization and its Problems. By Poultney Bigelow. Mc Clure, Phillips Co., New York. 365 pages. An attempt is made in this splendid work to explain the influence which the old country exerts over the new, and which the new in turn exerts over the old country. The author has traveled very extensively in the colonial regions of the world, and his close observation and the results of his study of the methods adopted for the administration of Colonial Affairs are set forth in choice and temperate language and are calculated to set those in authority to thinking on the importance of his timely suggestions. A charming and powerful novel on Little, Brown, & Company's new list is "When the Gates Lift up Their Heads; a Story of the Seventies," by Payne Erskine. The scene of the book is a little mountain town in the South. Negroes, whites, descendants of old Southern families, Northern visitors, are all vividly portrayed, and play their part in the dramatic development. The book is a love story, as well as a picture of the South after the war.—Wilberforce, Ohio. The John Banks' case is again agitating political circles. We trust John will stay right here. Banks may have his faults, but on the streets he acts like a gentleman, and that is more than can be said of many this side of prison. You do not have to entertain his propositions unless you want to. It takes two to make a contract. Show him his error and dismiss him; don't ensnare him. The management of the Library of Congress is offering $100 for a complete set of A. M. E Reviews. The Review is a quarterly published under the auspices of the church. It is one of the most pretensious literary journals of the race. It is likely that the $100 will go a begging. The Daily Record of Washington, D. C., has suspended publication. Editor Manly, it is said, has another project in mind. MAJOR'S MELANGE. To those jolly good fellows of The Freeman "Round Table," and erstwhile laborers in the realm of thought who, among life's constant vicissitudes, find a certain liberty in saying "still at large," still solicitous for ye admirable princes of the quill who for reasons best known to us find certain pleasure in proclaiming to the world our right to a portion of God's green earth, besides free fishing in the sea. Elastic, tenacious and continuative, we still take heart and renew our confidence in the world, its saving forces, etc; yet, too, hoping, fully trusting, patiently waiting for the fool and the fool killer to meet often enough on this space-flying sphere. If, after a tedious, uneasy life, all has seemed in vain here is a proposition that will at least contribute to a new lease on your existence. This strong, determined hope that the kicking machine will some day, armed with the implements of complete annihilation, fixed automobile like, run down the fool and dash him into molecules and atoms. Then rope will have a sacred office, and the lyncher will have, through his horrid eyes, seen his promised doom and find his constant occupation cast amid the fires of oblivion. Mr. Thomas Story Teller of Chicago, Tom The Tattler, or whoever he is or isn't, wants to know where is "Major's Melange." We beg to say we have been taking some of his good advice, coughing up a few base notes, spitting up the (tenor) tin in our throats, and peradventure listening at an auctioneer in the hope of straggling up against an idea. The Negro is all right. There is too much ado about nothing. Those who view the times prejudicially or what-not AS VIEWED BY ANOTHER The Situation of the Negro, it is Said, Will be the Result of His Own Efforts, Black and White To the Editor of The Freeman: "In a late edition of your paper appeared an able and very lengthy article headed, 'A Plea' for the Negro, which in substance implies that the Negro is imposed upon generally by his white brother. Granting this to be true, rehearsing the matter will not better the case. It is like the boy who fell in a ditch, and continued to call for help to get out, but made no effort himself. Let us consider our own weak points and strive to avoid these impositions. As a rule we are shiffless, and continually looking for something easy, while our white brother is willing to rough it until he gets a start. We have a very striking example of this right here in DeSoto. Back from the city there is any amount of good land that can be had on easy terms, and the young white men are rapidly taking it up, and while they are blazing their way through the forest, building fences and planting fruit trees, the young colored men are having two or three suits of clothes made by a tailor, getting in a stock of patent leather shoes, to be ready for all the picnics and excursions of the season. Note the difference. In a few years the young white men will be wealthy, and able to employ laborers, and the young colored men who now have an equal chance with them, will be poor. And we may expect to hear the same complaint from them, that the white men will give them no employment. As a race we seem to prefer servitude and fashion to legitimate labor and independence. We have too many brainy young men who are content to act as waiters or porters; too many who stand on the streets and talk politics, while their wives are at home in the wash tub; too many of our people flock to the large cities where their children grow up in idleness, and are unfit to be employed by any one. As the writer says, the M. E. church is the greatest protestant church in the world. No one doubts this, but no one attributes its greatness to any achievement of the Negro. For in the church, as elsewhere, he is satisfied to play second fiddle, if he can have a good time. It is alright to pray, but prayer without action never amounts to much. If our ministers wish to immortalize themselves in the hearts of the future Negro, let them lecture on economy, industry and morality. When these three things are fixed in the Negro's composition these grievances, whether real or imaginary, will disappear.

E. churches of the connection. find occasionally some good reasons for a change in their stolid mind. A better thought and feeling appertaining to us is constantly obtaining. The social organism of the country has been to blame for much of the discontent and unrest, but the sensitive, central pulsating heart throb of the nation has freely, in various sections of the country, beat in unison with the "brotherhood" idea, propagated solely by the indoctrinations of a Christly humanity. If we suffer condemnation because of some mean scoundrel among us, we reap an intense sympathy because we are not a nation of mean scoundrels. If, as in some sections, we are not appraised for our moral worth; in other sections we find strong advocates for the promotion of race advancement. In some cases the race is too sensitive when a Negro is jerked up and hurled into judgment by an angry mob; it is a case where public sentiment is after the scoundrel whomsoever he may be. The worthless strangling Negro who never does anything; won't and don't want to do anything, a quasi tramp (only white men are tramps) idlesome, feeders on the friendly female cook who snatches for him a handout, in many instances are the kind that meet their frequent meritorious death for having no excuse for living out this leech-like existence. We question the right of any element of American citizens to lynch any human being without due process of law, but it is on this very point that the better element of the race enjoy a ridiculous distinction for showing a sensitiveness in the matter. While the white man continues to suspect such a thing as Negro brutes, it were well for the Negro to suspect him as a lyncher. This is the philosophical conclusion of the whole matter.

Siren, Yeager, Kelly and Yeager, Johnson and Wells, Furber and Davis, Miss Neal Hawkins, Norris Smith, Mollie Sullivan, Bob A. Kelly and a chorus of twenty voices.

ADDITIONAL SPORT ADDITIONAL SPOR The Chicago Unions, the colored base ball club, played the Indianapolis Reserves two fine games at Indianapolis Saturday and Sunday, at Brighton Beach park, but were victors only in the first game. Though the boys broke even, everyone seems to be possessed of a hankering belief that the colored team was a "little to the bad" Sunday, as the game was lost on an error, and comments are too numerous too mention on the superb playing of Bert Wakefield, the Unions' crack first baseman. Pitcher Lyle also threw himself into the hearts of the large crowds that were out both days. The Unions left there Sunday night for South Bend, Ind., where they played the Greens Monday, and were defeated.

What Has Been--Advice of a Sound Nature that Tends to Promote High Business Qualities Within the Rune: After fall consideration and consults tion with officials of the National Negr Business League and friends throughon the country, it has been decided to cal the next session of the League to meet a Chicago, Lil., Wednesday, Thursday an Friday, August 21, 22 and 23, It is generally conceded that the meet ing held in Boston last August was on of the most successful gatherings eve held in the history of the race, and tha’ it gave an encouragement and impetu tothe race in all lines of business in way that is now apparentin all parts o the country. It is earnestly hoped tha the meeting in Chicago will even sur pass the Boston meeting in point of at: tendance, in interest and in permanent value. ‘The citizens of Chicago are enthusias tic over the prospects of the meeting and stand ready to give those who at- tend it a cordial weloome Aside from the matter of special reduced rates over the various railroads, reduced rates granted in connection with the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition will offer un- usual opportunities to reach Chicago at small expense. Any person engaged in any commer- cial enterprise or properly delegated to represent any individual or individuals engaged in commercial enterprises, is entitled to membership under such reg- ulations as may be adopted. Women as well as men engaged in business should be represented. It is strongly urged that Local Busi- ness Leagues be established in every part of the country where no such leagues now exist and those already or- ganized be strengthened wherever nec- essary, and that these local leagues send delegates, as far as possible, to the Na- tional organization, and keep in close touch during the year with the officers of the National organization; that these local organizations hold meetings mionth- ly as far as practical; that everything possible be done in these local organiza- tions to discourage complicated aud use- Jess parliamentary machinery, and that parliamentary and technical discussions be avoided, as far as possible, with a view to concentrating time and strength on the real objects of the organization. Every one engaged in business owes it to himeelf to take a week or more of vacation each year for the purpose of rest and recreation and for the purpose of getting new ideas. It is the desire of the officers of the League to make @ large exhibit of pho- tographs at Chicago of the places of business of our people as well as of the persons engaged in business. These photographs should show both outside and inside views as far as possible, and they should be forwarded to the Presi- dent of the League at Tuskegee, Ala., as early as convenient. ‘The proceedings of the Boston meet- ing have been published in book form by Mr. J. R. Hamm, 46 Howard street, Boston, Mass. A copy of this volume should be in the hands of every Negro in the country who is engaged in busi- ness, or who is expecting to enter busi- ness. ‘The time has come for thearace to take a long step forward in establishing iteelf permanently and more generally in the business of the community where it resides.

THE NEGRO COUNCIL, ‘A Call for the Annual Meeting at Philadelphia LOUISANA TEST CASE. ‘To the members of the National Afro- ‘Amerfean Council, delegates from local councils, and affiliated organizations such as churches, colleges, benevolent, and other race organizations, Greet- ings. ‘The fourth annual session of the National Afro-American Council will be held at Philadelphia, Pa., (probably in THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPEX 9, 1901. itis hoped that every church, Joollege, benevolent society, and other race organizations, and editors of race newspapers, will be represented. It i the purpose of the officers to make thi: meeting the largest and most potent for good of any which the council hae ever held. In recent years Philadelphia has been the storm center of several impor tant national gatherings for the dis- cussion of the race question, and the ontcome has not always been the most favorable for the Negro. We now have an opportunity to refute the er- roneous statements which have been made there, and change the unfavorable sentiment which has been created by some of the enemies of the race who have selected the ‘(Quaker City” as the foram from which to hurl their philip- pics against a loyal and inoffensive people on account of their color and previous condition of servitude Again, it is our earnest desire to collect sufficient funds at this meeting to pay the remaining expenses of our Louisiana Test Case. We have just received notice from our chief council, Lawyer A. A Birney, of Washington, D. C., informing us that the case ie progressing satisfactorily. (A full re- port of this case will be made at the Philadelphia meeting) We have al- ready paid $1,000 for council fees, and $500 are nowdue. One thousand dollars more will be needed when the final decision has been rendered by the Su- preme Court of the United states. If there ever was a time when every Negro church, college benevolent society, and other race organizations should send representatives, accompanied by the an- nual tax of five dollars, to a great national gathering, now is the time. The meeting should be so great in num- bers and influence as to forever set at rest the oft repeated statement that the Negro is not interested in his civil and political rights. ‘The basis of membership as provided for by the constitution, is: “The Afro. American Council shall be composed of members as follows: (1.) All persons who hold life membership. (2) Coun- cil delegates, representing duly accred- ited Local Councils. (8.) Affiliated delegates, representing organizations of similar plans and purposes co-operating with the Afro-American Council. Every local Afro-American Council shall be entitled to representation in the National Council by delegates elected on a basis of one delegate to every fifty members, said delegate to qualify upon presenta- tion of credentials and payment of the annual tax of five dollars, Religions and secular organizations which have for their aim and work the mental and moral elevation of the race, and which desire to co-operate with the National Council may be represented by affiliated delegates, not more than two delegates to each organization. Said delegates shall have the right to vote upon pay- ment of five dollars for each delegate. Editors of Afro-American newspapers, and principals of Academic schools and colleges, may be admitted to member- ship in the National Council and be entitled to a vote, upon presentation of credentials and payment of the annual tax of five dollars.” ‘The citizens of Philadelphia are pre- paring toentertain the Council on a magnificent scale. A special rate of fare and a third on the certificate plan has been granted on all railroads, for delegates. Those who intend visiting the Pan-Exposition at Buffalo on their to or from the Council meeting, will be allowed a ‘‘stop over’’ at Philadelphia, thus getting the advantage ot the half fare rates.

This is due largely to the con- struction of the English shotgun, which still has @ tendency to take fall ont of the shooter every time it is discharged, hence the lighter load. It 1s thought that the visit of the Americars to England will open up» big field for American shotguns and ammunition.

The last encounter in which he participated, before the National club of London, which reenlt- ed in the death of his opponent, Ameri- can Billy Smith, has left euch an im- pression on his mind that he avers heis throngh with fighting forever. He even turned down an offer made him to visit this country and fight McGovern, although even the loser’s end for such & battle would be probably double the largest amount that Roberts ever re- ceived for winning a battle. Whether the Englieh Ind will adhere to his determination remains to be seen, but the chances are that he will not. ‘There are several instances on record where pngiliste have announced their retirement from the ring for the same Teason as Roberts’, but few of them have been known to keep their resola- tions. ‘When Lavigne killed Andy Bowen in New Orleans he annonnced his retire- ment, but it was not long before he was milling away again ae merrily as ever. ‘When Frank Garrard killed Brennan at Battery D in Chicago and Barry sent Walter Croot down for the death count in London, both of the Chicago boys gave notice that they had forsaken the fistic profession forever; but, as in Lavigne’s case, after a certain time had elapsed they reappeared on the padded floor. There are many other similar instances which conld be quoted, but enongh has been said to show that Roberta will prove an exception to the raleif he does not change his mind in the near future and again play an active part in the game of “hit, stop, and get away.” ‘The following is the results of base ball games played by the Atlanta Deppens and visiting teams, in Atlanta, Ga., this season.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and ESS jair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that man of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, fix tonest statement to the colored race through this great payee In AW the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through # fortunate NN circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent ntil 1875, when it was put upon the market and AN inet with marked eucooss @After a thorough test by the colored people of f\\ that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every f\ member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow N ong and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a ALS number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other AWN people’s goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are ANS worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great ‘damage to the hair \\ and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To ANS these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not AN bo deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all {iy Hair Tonics A\ OZONO, AN which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we abso- “At lutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if yon are dissatisfied with our preparations, MN if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one “AS who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. AN oq 100 people are to-day using our preparations, and every, purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively a, take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Trouble- AN some Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and’straight. Tt will cure your head of all itching, worrying sealp diseases, Itch, Eczema, Dandrulf, 7 and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair AW from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, waking the hair long and soft. 4, __ Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising AN remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell ‘ou to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the AN jife of the hair, and cause it t drop out. Gzono siraightons without any N outside assistance, ‘Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time.

A fine program was rendered and the Wheeling Cornet band played some excellent music. We were going out Indiana avenue last evening when our attention was attracted to several young men standing on a corner discussing what they thought was nice in woman. One said that his idea of a nice woman was one who was charmed with what he said, and paid very little attention to the things he did. Another said a nice woman is one who is evenly pleased with the weather—that is, the temperature does not effect her temper, and when the skies rain water she does not shower tears and groans everywhere. She is one who can eat what is set before her, wear the clothes she possesses, and do both with amiability and without envy. Still another said she is one who doesn't make you suffer at second hand with her aches, nor expect you to think there is but one doctor in the world, and that he is the one of her choice. We do not know whether these opinions given so gratuitously by these young men will meet the approbation of the fair sex, but we are open for discussion, and hope the ladies will lose no time in discussing the desired qualities of the sterner sex. 十 An old ex-slave, who had accumulated considerable property, recently died in New Orleans, and left all her real and personal property, which amounted to over $12,000, to her former mistress. She had a large family but did not leave them a cent. + We have had similar occurrences right here in our own city. Why the colored people will thrust their hard earned dollars into the already well filled coffers of the white people, is beyond our understanding. About a year ago a colored woman living in the Northern part of this city, and who had amassed a little fortune, died and left it to a white child, but the family refused to accept it, and wondered why she did not leave it to her friends or to one of the several colored charitable institutions in the city. We might mention others but time forbids. In Muncie, this state, last week, a little Negro boy caused 500 people to quit work at the Indiana Iron Mill, and unless an adjustment, 1,000 men will be idle. The employees objected to the company employing colored help, hence the strike. At last accounts each were still holding out—the company sticking to the colored lad, saying they will not discharge him, while the employees have all quit work. This brings to mind a soliloquy by an old colored brother in a well known Southern town: "Yes, suh," said Brother Dickey, "hit do look lak' my race is havin' er a ha'd time in the North! 'Pears lak' dey haw'mo' er what dey calls 'de race problem' up dar dan what dey has down yer! But lemme tell you one ting—an hit ain't two—de bes place fer de culd man is down South, whar' he raise en bo'n! Min' what I tell you! I raised a famly er 16 ans n' 3 wives—ef I don't disremember—en bless God, none of 'em hez been lynched or tar en feathered, er beat up, or stove up, dat I knows on; an' dem what got in de chain gang—vich er wuz de a sorter side issue, so ter speak—is now law abiden citizens en makin' a dollar a day, an' Lawd sen' Sunday! No, suh! gimme de South en civilization every day in the year, in Chris'mus gif w'en de time come!"

Mobile is proud of having three colored doctors and a dentist and also a first class colored drug store, which has been built for this special purpose, and is one of the finest of its kind in the city. It is operated strictly by colored attendants, with a fine soda fountain in connection. The Oklahoma base ball club defeated the High Flyers on Sunday June 16, by a score of 13 to 4. Mr. Samuel Gordon a porter on the L. & N. road died on Friday June 14, at his residence, Camp ground and Congress streets. He had been in the employee of the L. & N. railroad for fifteen years, and was very popular among his brother porters, he leaves a wife to mourn his loss. The Freeman is on sale at the Creole bar and restaurant 562 Dauplin street every Saturday. The Twenty-third session of the Grand Lodge of Alabama colored Mason's was called to order on Tuesday June 18, at their hall on St. Francis and Water streets at 10 o'clock by Grand Master S. S. H. Washington and Rev. W. H. Mixon lead in prayer. The grand lodge in the state is composed of eight different lodges, all of which will report to the Grand Lodge. The Grand Master appointed J. C. Leftwitch, D. B. Vaughn and Oscar Saunders as a committee on credentials. The lodge then took a recess to await the report of the committee. There will be a lively contest for the office of Grand Master of the State made vacant by the death of Grand Master Major Mims. The concert given on Tuesday night June 18, for the benefit of the Masonics at the State Street Church was a success in every respect and too much praise cannot be given to some of the young ladies and gentlemen who took part in same. Why don't you subscribe for the Freeman? The concert given at Love and Charity's hall was fairly patronized and some of the numbers that were down on the programme did fairly well. Miss Arine Page has been very ill for a couple of weeks but has improved and is out again. The Oklahoma Social Club gave a grand picnic at the Ramona Park on July 4. Testimonial.
