HENRY FITZBUTLER Henry Fitzbutler, the first colored man to regularly practice medicine in Kentucky. He is earning an enviable reputation as a surgeon. Mr. Wm. J. Silkman, having graduated from a leading embalming school, where he prepared himself for his new work, has resigned his position in the United States Pension office to accept the management of the growing business of the Louisville Funeral Directors. Mr. Silkman has chosen the undertaker's profession as his life's work and takes hold of the new enterprise to make it all the people demand. He may be addressed at 11th and Walnut or by telephone. WILLIAM H. BROWN. William H. Brown is another one of the city's solid business men. He is engaged in the general transfer business. He bought his first team ($900) on his mere word and his known determination to pay. "Fifteen cents," says Mr. Brown, "is all I had." Strange to say he bought the team, paying for it in eleven months through work done with it. He now has seven or eight great substantial wagons, flats and other lighter vehicles. He has eighteen head of horses in his barn and good real estate. He is estimated to be worth $10,000. His office is at 211 Second street. D. J. Bonner is meeting with much success in his real estate and general brokerage business at 418 Center street. The Ideal Mutual Investment Company has chosen him as its general agent. Mr. Bonner pays especial attention to mercantile business. He enjoys the distinction of being the only Negro to have been honored by an appointment under the city government, he having served as deputy assessor and as a member of the board of equalization. Mr. Bonner, since his business career, has evinced a special fitness as a business man. He graduated from the business department of the State University, from which time he has brought honor to the institution and to his race. He is associated with Albert S. White in business. Charles L. Taylor is prominent in political circles. He is of magnetic influence, on which account he is much sought to help shape political affairs. He is the ex-president of the International Tobacco Works. He made the race for State Senator, but feels that he was counted out. He has quite a reputation as an orator. He is an Odd Fellow. Mrs. B. Adams and W. Taylor have succeeded J. H. Taylor, deceased, in the undertaking business. This well known house enjoys the reputation of being the oldest in the city. It was established in 1867. It is prepared to preserve bodies according to the best embalming methods. The good name of the establishment will be maintained, and enhanced whenever opportunity affords. Every attention is shown. B. Adams will be manager of the new firm They will be found at the old stand, No. 610 Ninth street. Rochelle I. Smith is the manager of the well-known firm of Guy Smith & Sons, furniture and piano movers. They INDIANAPOLIS IND., SATURDAY, JULY 20 1901 do the largest business of the kind South, employing a number of men, who are required to keep the half dozen teams going. Young Mr. Smith will visit Buffalo, N. Y., and other eastern cities in the near future, during his vacation. He will observe the systems of packing and moving in those cities with the view of introducing the better features in his own business. He is popular at home and enjoys the esteem of all. Dr. H. H. Jones has a large and growing practice. He is standing for school trustee for the third district, and feels confident he will be selected at the November election. He is located at 358 East Green street. The Falls City Undertaking and Embalming Company is a business enterprise conducted by a company of progressive men. It is growing in favor, securing its portion of business. It strives to please its patrons by painstaking endeavor. It is located at 318 East Green street, under the management of the very genial A. P. Hunter, who is doing his best in promoting the interest of the concern. Henry H. Abel is another rising young business man. He is the proprietor of the only colored shoe and furnishing store in the city. Mr. Abel is making commendable headway. The thousands of colored people should see to it that his business expands to such an extent that a number of young people could find employment with him. He is at 1010 West Walnut street. Dr. R. Huggins, formerly of Louisville, is now in New Albany, Ind. He has built up a very lucrative practice during his short stay in that city. He has just invested in a well located property on which he is making extensive repairs. He is now located at 514 State street. Dr. Huggins' practice is not confined to his own race. Edward C. Mumphrie is a young colored man of much promise. He is reading law in Sach's office, where he has charge of the real estate and collecting departments. He is already an efficient stenographer and fills the position of J. H. B. EDWARD C. MUMPHRIE notary public. He is respected for his attainments and general worth. He can be found at 548 Jefferson street. William Watson, funeral director and embalmer, is located at Tenth and Chestnut streets. He has served the public for years in an accommodating and obliging way. He has the reputation for giving good service at all times. He has a very large and desirable patronage. The sanitarium on Sixth street is one of the distinct features of the doings of the colored people of Louisville. Its cool, airy, capacious, scrupulously neat rooms are an alluring retreat for the well as well as an antidote for the sick. The people of the city and the distinguished board of governors may well feel proud of their creation. This well-known institution is a department of the medical university, conducted under the same charter as the State University. Dr. William Merchant is dean, filling the chair of surgery; Dr. Edward Whedbe, anatomy; Dr. C. F. Maxwell, physiology; Dr. E S. Porter, practice and materia medica; Dr. Solomon Stone, dissection and skin diseases. These gentlemen have attained distinctions in their special fields, having reputations that extend beyond the borders of their own State. The institution is a credit to the Negro race. The fifth annual fair is at this time the topic of discussion. It is a worthily conceived enterprise, having in mind the agricultural and industrial development of the race. It is promoted by a set of gentlemen whose names are the synonyms of integrity and racial fealty. The indications are that they will give the people their best fair, making it worthy of the attendance of individuals from remote points. Special rates have been offered on all lines leading to the city. The officers and board of directors are: Dr. S. Stone, president; Wm. H. Ward, vice-president; Prof. William H. Perry, secretary; Attorney A. S. White, assistant secretary; W. C. F. Mason, treasurer; David Steward, B. J. Shipley, Thomas F. Parks, D. M. Edwards, Dr. Joseph Owsley, A. G. Shacklett, Wm. Thompson, Wm. Cook, A. J. Pickens, Theodore Hankins, Rochelle Smith. B. J. Shipley, general manager; Theo. Hankins, assistant manager. Special features, shows, entertainments will be a part of the program. The dates are July 30, 31 and August 1, 2 and 3. The subject of this sketch, Rev. Chas. Henry Parrish, D. D., of Louisville, Ky., s one of the remarkable Negroes of this age. Through a sense of modesty which, to some extent is justifiable, he has not allowed his great series of endavors, successes and accomplishments to be fully known to the world. Dr. Parrish has done something, done much. His varied accomplishments certainly rivals the accomplishments of any, by any of the race's great men. Dr. Parrish was born in Lexington, Ky., April 18, 1859. Like most of the PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY--SIX MONTHS, 85c: ONE YEAR, $1.50 W. J. REV. CHARLES H. PARRISH A. B., A. M., D. D. race he was cradled in the lap of adversity, but true to the faith within him, as the needle to the pole, as to the yearnings of his soul to occupy a respectable place in the theatre of his race's activities, he at his first convenience set about to shape his career accordingly. In 1883 he graduated from the academic course of the State University, then under that guiding genius, the late lamented Dr Wm. J. Simmons. He demonstrated his ability and his great possibilities all through his college career, winning honors, medals and meritorious mention. He graduated from the college course in 1886 with the degree of A. B. He was elected to the professorship of Greek in his college in 1886, filling the REV. CHARLES H. PAR position with distinction. During this period he had many calls to different churches; he finally consented to become the pastor of Cavalry Baptist church. When he took charge of the work the church membership did not reach 200 and it had a debt of about $4000. The church is now one of the great churches of the State with a membership of 800, the debt totally liquidated and well on its way towards building a commodious and attractive church house that will cost thousands of dollars. Thus the man is seen through his works here. But it is Dr. Parrish's achievements for the material uplift of the race that writes him down a philanthropist. The princes of earthly creatures are those who in the similitude of the Christ spirit give up their lives, consecrate their efforts for the sake of others. These too are immortal though they lack the Carnegie millions to give eclat to the sacrifices. They give their all, and certainly no man can do greater than that. Our subject is such a man as this brief biography will show. At this point it may be said of Dr. Parrish as it is said of many of the world's great characters, that his wife has played no small part in sustaining him in his life's work. Miss Mary V. Cook, as she was formerly known, was an eminent educator before she met her distinguished husband. She won the --- degrees of A. B. and A. M. at the State University, after which she became professor of latin and mathematics in that school. Later on she filled the same positions at Eckstein Norton with credit to herself and to the institution. She has appeared to an advantage in the lecture field. She has contributed to periodicals with success. She may well be considered an accomplished woman. Eckstein Norton University is the peculiar care of Dr. Parrish. The mantle of the late Dr. Simmons fell on a worthy successor. This notable school is situated at Cane Springs, twenty-nine miles from Louisville. It was born out the philanthropical heart of a Louisville gentleman whose name it bears, and which gentleman, now deceased, was a RISH A. B., A. M., D. D. member of a public spirited, Christ like family that chose to bear some of the world's crosses. It was a happy day for the Negro race of Kentucky when Mr. Eckstein Norton conceived the notion of establishing that institution, and as happy yet when Dr. Parrish was selected to man it towards its final end and destiny. Eckstein Norton and its president is approaching the plane of Tuskegee and Booker T. Washington. Its curriculum DR. L. A.

TURNER'S Comment on an Editorial in The Freeman Editor of The Freeman:—I have just read under "The Future of the Negro," in your issue of the 29 ult. the following: "It is beginning to dawn on the Negroes generally, that if they will be saved, they must save themselves." This is just what I have been advocating all these years, by what has been styled: "My African Emigration" foolishness. In common parlance, you have hit the nail square upon the head, I knew you and all other opponents would see the point after a while and come to it. If the Negro is saved, he will have to save himself. Party will not save him, nor will any other agency beyond his own endeavor and merits. This white, or "buckra" race as the African say, must either be conquered by physical force or they must be deserted. Dogs have sense enough to run when they see they cannot contend and give battle to their antagonist. And it did look to me, and it looks that way yet, that if we are not able to battle with the men that are depriving us of our civil and political rights and all that life is worth, we should have as much sense as dum animals that run. You well say 'the white man gives no quarters nor takes any; nothing but sheer force, absorption, extinction, annihilation or what not in commercial, industrial competitive sense. White barbers, white waiters and white coachmen are no longer curios, they are persistent in their efforts to establish themselves, having no regard for peculiar races with peculiar occupations." I repeat, as one who has studied the situation before four-fifths of the present generation were born, and went through bloody battles for their liberation, that I see no salvation for the Negro unless he wakes and starts to do something. Sitting placidly down and making no effort will never remedy our forlorn and desperate condition. God will not help a people unless they try to help themselves, and as for the white man he regards its cowardice or incapacity. Our condition will never be improved or remedied until we do something to vindicate our self-reliance, if we are not void of it. To attempt to give the white man battle in any manner, shape or form would not only be folly but madness. It is estimated that there are nine white men to one black man, and he has all the guns, all the powder, all the deadly miscles, in short, all the weapons that would be necessary to give him battle or demand justice at his hand by physical force, and as for moral force, out of ninety-odd thousand white ministers, not more than one-half dozen would open their mouths if five hundred black men were shot, hung or jibbited at one time. The white preachers are not only under the control of the mobs but hundreds are willing to form a part of the mobs themselves. There is no moral force, for the very Bible, the word of the eternal God, is made to sustain this violent and ruthless condition of things about which we so frequently complain. Thus I see no remedy outside of African emigration, and it is the only remedy for our lilies that has ever been proposed. The opponents of the measure propose nothing, not one thing. You say that Booker T. Washington is on the right line. Well grant it, but what is Booker T. Washington in the midst of ten or twelve millions. Such talk is the jargon of nonsense. I read some where from a world of the world that race all the people in the world could not carry our people back to Africa in one hundred years. Bishop Derrick, a man whom I admire, says that all the ships in the United States could not transport them back to Africa in a billion of years. Yet there are only twelve million in the United States according to the highest calculation. A million of whites, yes twelve hundred thousand, often come to this country every year, but not less than a million any year, and there is hardly any thing said about it, and the ships that bring them could bring almost as many again, as easily as they bring a million a year. Men talk by drawing up on their imagination and advertising their ignorance. One-half of the ships that enter the ports of the United States could carry every man, woman and MOXON'S LINIMENT FOR MAN AND BEAST. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. child belonging to our race to Africa in five years, and they could do it in ten years without any trouble, more than the ordinary voyagers, but we will not discuss this point at large. But emigration is the only remedy; it is the only plan proposed that has any sense to it. Men may object, but they offer nothing in lieu thereof, and the very objects are doing nothing, they hold no mass meetings, United States conventions; they pass no resolutions, denouncing the outrageous and inhuman treatment of the black man. All they have got to propose is opposition to emigration and by their silence endorse the inhuman condition of things that confronts us as a race. A people who will neither fight nor run, and it is useless to fight, can expect nothing. God offers them nothing, and they will get nothing, but ultimate annihilation. But you say "it is beginning to dawn on the Negroes generally, that if they will be saved, they must save themselves." I hope this is true and shall wait and see. H. M. TURNER Atlanta, Ga. WORDS OF CORRECTION The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows Retort to Rev. J. Justin DeCelland's Slanderous Remarks Lawrence, Kans., Editor Freeman.—We, the undersigned G. U. O. of O.F., would like to say a few words in behalf of our order and friends. There was an appearance in the columns of the Plaindaler, May 17, 1901, stating "If it had not been for the kindness of the conductor no doubt a great many good brother odd fellows, deacons, trustees, class leaders and local preachers thrown in for good measure, would have found themselves in some strange place, or city." We would like to know if he was at the depot when the excursion left, or when it arrived, and how he possessed himself of such news J. Justin DeCelland, did you stop to think how many members of your church belong to this order, and when you begin to degrade this order you belittle yourself in the eyes of a great many people as a minister of the gospel? God says "judge not, that ye be not judged." and if you are trying to be a light for the race, do not pull them down with such news as that. No doubt a great many will remember this saying The excursion of May 12, 1901, was not accompanied by a multitude of disgraces, the G. U. O. of Odd Fellows and friends had a pleasant trip to Kansas City, Kans., where their annual sermon was preached; both going and coming the gentlemen respected the ladies and children with the highest of honor and order conduct; it was one of the grandest excursions that has left Lawrence, Kans., for a long time. J. Justin DeCelland must have been short-changed himself on that day to write such an article as that and publish it in a newspaper. What would the people say if we let such as this go on? How could they live in peace with such an outrage as this? They could not elevate very fast if we let such as him tear us down. As a body we will stand up for our rights. As far as three hundred odd-fellows went from Lawrence to Kansas City, Kans., was not true, we did not have that many people in all, and the sermon was preached in Kansas City, Kansas, not Missouri. We did not think it was any disgrace to run an excursion on Sunday to help our order along any more than giving concerts, entertainments and begging money. We do not have to worship idols like heathens do to get along in this world, we are too enlightened to think of such The Kansas City Journal gave us credit, not slander. We think it is of no use to say any more about this outrage; this will cover all important parts, so the people will be in the light, and not in the dark. If that's the way he cuts a rope no wonder he is in pain. This can be proven by the Santa Fe agent or at the ticket office. G. U. O. of ODD FELLOWS We would suggest however to the preacher and the teacher to renew their efforts in exercising all the good in their power to redeem the race from this stigma. Be not content to merely draw asalary each month, but let the pupil feel that you have its future welfare at heart, and that good manners and morals are essential to good citizenship.

Bartender—"Sory, sir, but the brunette beer is all out. "Won't you try a glass of blonde?" Wigg—"Who wrote Backward, turn back ward, O time in your flight?" Wagg—"I suppose it was some old girl who wanted to grow younger with each birthday. The honeymoon was round and full Of joy. Such things he bought her! Moonlike it waned.

Redemption, Ark., Special. — Crops are suffering badly on account of the hot dry weather, and if it does not rain soon they will be almost a total failure. The following persons read The Freeman: H Tillman, Chas Terry, R T Casey, Mrs C M Malcolm and S E Fields, all of whom speak in the highest terms of your valuable paper. Sunday last was rally day at the A M. E. church, and a nice sum was raised. Rev J. D. Wilkerson, pastor, was assisted by Rev L. S. Overall of Clarksville, and Rev D. H. Avery of Conway. In this connection it would be an injustice to fail to mention the Sunday school of the above named church, which is presided over by Mr Jos Hawkins. Sunday was also review day, and little Iva Neale of the juvenile class was awarded two prizes, which were presented to her by the superintendent. Prof. W. W. Jones, of Ft. Smith, Ark., who was to conduct a S. S. Institute at this place on the 1st and 2nd instate, failed to come. Rev L. S. Overall was chosen chairman and business was taken up and dispatched in a masterly way. About a dozen schools were represented in this meeting and a profitable session was held throughout. J. C Casey, C. B. Rice and wife, Mrs. Arillia Harris and Miss V. B Jordan are seeing the sights at the carnival in the city of roses this week. Our Baptist friends report a grand time Sunday last, the occasion being a union held with both Pleasant and Lion Hill churches. Quite a number of divines were present, notable among them may be mentioned Rev Hayes, House, Manly and Jamison. Come again, gentlemen. See Mrs. I. C. Hawkins and get The Freeman. Mr. Henry Dunlap, an aged and respected citizen, departed this life July 3. The deceased was a member of the A. M. E. church, where the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Wilkerson. A word of advice to all—subscribe for The Freeman. A Strange Monster. Forepaugh and Sells Circus has a double-horned Rhinoceros which has for several years past scraped the iron bars of the cage with his horns until now there is little left of them. The animal, which possesses all the vicious and ferocious traits of his kind, keeps the scraping process up all day and half the night and no amount of punishment will deter him from his seemingly persistent efforts to wear away his strongest means of attack and defense. It will be but a matter of a short time until the horns will be worn even with the nose. It is already a matter of conjecture among the animal's attendants what the rhinoceros will do then; whether he will break off from his habit of at least ten years, or continue the scraping until the bones of the nose wear away. This wonderful animal will be seen here when the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers' Show exhibit on at Indianapolis July 31.

Fisher of Chicago, were visiting friends and relatives in Indianapolis this week. Mr. Fisher is the efficient headwaiter of the Briggs house, where he has been for eight years. J. F. Holiman, headwaiter at the Columbia club, Indianapolis, has been appointed acting vice-president of the H. and S. W. N. B. A. for Indiana in place of Mr. Willis Martin, who is seriously ill. Mr. Holiman's address is 525 N. California street, Indianapolis, Ind. The Waiters' League of Chicago will send a delegate to the Head and Second Waiters' Convention which meets in Buffalo in September. C. W. Brown is president of the league. Lucus W. Washington is the corresponding secretary of the Waiters' Royal Benefit Progressive League which has its headquarters in Chicago. This league takes the initiative step in calling a national convention to meet in Chicago the first week in May, 1902. The organization is in the interest of sidewaiters. The Waiters' Union (white) of Colorado Springs, Col., is having a "hot old time" over the importation of Swiss waiters, who were installed in the new Antlers hotel which opened July 1st. The manager is also imported, having come from France. Serious trouble is expected. Archie Williams, a noted party waiter of Denver, Col., can now be found at the Knutsford, Salt Lake City, Utah. Morris Corpening, the Plankinton house waiter who committed suicide last Saturday night, must have been figuring on the deed for some time, for he waited until after pay day, which was Saturday, when he paid up his debts, gambled some, lost and then took carbolic acid. John J. Miles, headwaiter at the Plankinton, said that Corpening had paid all his little bills around the house where he had been employed over two years. He had been suffering from the heat recently, and this may have caused him to commit the deed. It is thought that perhaps ill luck with the balance of his salary while gambling may have had something to do with it also. The waiters of the Plankinton contributed $60 in ten minutes to bury their unfortunate comrade. He was well lied by every one. One of the lady guests of the Plankinton volunteered to pay all of his funeral expenses. Morris Corpening was well known at the Burnett house, Cincinnati, Ohio, Beckel house, Dayton, Ohio, and the Oliver, South Bend, Ind. His mother and other relatives reside in North Carolina, and no doubt his dear old mother is looking for a letter from her darling boy, but the letter that she is looking for will never come. Charles Lewis, formerly at the Tremont, Chicago, is meeting with good success at the Albany hotel, Denver, Colorado. A. J. Davis, who has been steward at the Knutsford, Salt Lake City, Utah, has resigned. On retiring he was presented with a handsome pair of Elk cuff buttons, valued at $20, by the dining room crew. Mr. Frames, the headwaiter, made the presentation speech and in return Mr. Davis responded in his usual complimentary vein. Lake Wawasee, Ind, has grown to be one of the most popular resorts in the State. The crew is entirely colored and are all nearly supplied from Indianapolis. The dining crew of the Wawasee Inn is composed as follows: Robert Johnson, headwalter. Sam Gray, Thomas Williams, Henry Jackson, Simon Hood, Omer Johnson, John Pennybaker, Win Harrison, H F Harris, W F Waning, J M Benson, George Tye, Grant Waters, M B Rogers, Alb'r Strawthers, R Dawson, John Brown, M C Johnson, John Lond.

J. B Goins, corresponding secretary of the H. and S. W. N. B. A. and author of the "American Colored Waiter." has succeeded C. C. Lewis at the Albany hotel, Denver, Col. Mr. Goins was formerly at the Nelson house, Rockford, Ill., and the Terre Haute house, Terre Haute, Ind. R. W. Jefferson, a colored chef formerly employed at the Yale Club, Chicago, has succeeded a white chef at the Hotel Detroit, Buffalo, N. Y. Henry Hopkins is second cook under Mr. Jefferson. Grand Union Hotel. The Grand Union hotel of Saratoga Springs, New York, has been greatly improved. Every one seems delighted with the artistic improvements made by the management since last season. Nearly the entire lower floor has been redecorated. The parlors are especially attractive in the harmonizing tints employed in the side wall decorations, while the office, restaurant, reading room, reception room and cafe have all been transformed by the clever use of the artist's brush and the paper hanger's art under the direction of the best decorators of the State. The staff this year is slightly changed and includes Duncan Campbell and W. E. Moseley, room clerks; George E. Hopkins, cashier; G. A. Smith, assistant cashier; Harry F. Hall, front clerk; H. W. Warner, night clerk; Charles A. Donglass, private book keeper; A. M. Woolley, steward; Edward Schelcher, chef; T. Norton, wineman; J. T. Lee, headwater. Negligence of Chefs. It seems to me that the steward and chef have lost control of their department. The allow the use of too much profane language without making any attempt to abate it. It is a fact, nevertheless, that waiters should know how to conduct themselves in the kitchen, but if they should be indecorous it is the duty of the chef or steward to compel him to obey the hotel rules or leave the house. Of course the headwaiter can control him while he is in the dining room, but when he is in the kitchen the headwaiter's attention is turned to something else. The main reason that white waiters are supplanting the colored today is because the head cooks will not make or observe any decorum in the kitchen. We must use decent language, keep out of mischief, and see if these two things won't commend us to higher things. Let us make a new start and see if we cannot be better men, both professionally and morally, than we have ever been. WILLIAM MCDEARMAN. PROMINENT HOTEL MEN. [Name] F. C. BROWN. Headwaiter of Battle House, Mobile, Alabama. Firmin C. Brown first saw the light of day in 1862 at Mineral Point, Mo. At a very tender age he was thrown on his own resources, but through pluck, thrift and energy he managed to get a good common school education. In 1879 he entered the Lindel hotel at St. Louis, Mo., as a dishman, and in this capacity he served one month, after which he was promoted to waiter. Here he served two years, going from there to Chicago, where he worked at the Palmer, Grand Pacific and Tremont. His first work as an officer was under Mr. D. Miller at the Kirkwood hotel, DesMoines, Iowa.

ROBERT SINGLETON The Black Edison of Nashville.--Other Important News Nashville, Tenn., Special.—Mr. Robert Singleton was born in Shelbyville, Tenn., in 1861. His chances for an education were very few, however he has been able to learn to read and write. He has always had a great desire to become an engineer. A few years ago this opportunity presented itself when the Howe Ice Company employed him as a greater in the machine shop. From this position he rose steadily until he was given the position of second engineer. Haying been encouraged by his promotion he become more interested in his work; and, therefore, he studied the making of this machine, and by borrowing electrical looks he has made one of the most complicated electrical machines in our city. Although it is in a crude form, but it shows to the world just what this man could do if he had the time and money in order to devote all of his energy to this work. He now resides at 1021 N. Cherry street, near Jefferson. Visitors welcome.

Madame is the only one in the world who can sell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, tells you that she is the only one in the world. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the teachings of the only from the lack of knowledge that they are reached. It is not everyone who placards himself or herself as a Medium that can stand a test of what he or she claims. And a person of any enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is easy to study human nature. They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the art of phrenology and kindred branches that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the business clear and devoid of obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will some for advice—in full knowledge of what is required to confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavour to dispel from their minds what they know so as to hear it if it will be rewarded by "pumping," in no few cases, the art used by many unprincipial Mediums, but to take hold of the hand and gain control of the mind there is no doubt that the Medium has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. 30 it proves conclusively that although there are wingers in our own tongues, "tongues" of wisdom have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished Medium, and by a continuous effort we have parents unaffordable mysteries have been procured by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of humanity.

Bishop Turner has written one of his characteristic letters in which he agrees, in part, with an editorial appearing in a former issue of The Freeman. We congratulate ourselves that we are for the once able to toe the line with that doughty warrior. The bishop, as it may be noted, made a number of strong assertions which, of course, are true, but they are of those kind which are often times more harmful when uttered than when held in abeyance. The individual will suffer often because deserted in time of need. Courageous individuals with the quality rightly directed is what the race stands sadly in need of—these stand in need of support. Rovally Entertained Mr. Chas. Lanier, the well known proprietor of the Dinison Tonsorial parlors entertained last Friday a number of his intimate friends at his elegant residence at 2619 Capitol Ave. North-Among those present were Messrs.

IN OLD KENTUCKY IN OLD KENTUCKY that characterizes the true university. The industrial features are taking due prominence at this school, but it does not neglect the classics, the fine arts, etc. Its special circular of information sets forth in an attractive manner the industrial phase of the institution. Dressmaking, that growing field for the colored girl, is taught in the most thorough manner by the most improved scientific principles. Two years is required for the completion of the course, at which time the pupils are prepared to "set up shop" for themselves. Household ethics is another department where the girls are trained to become accomplished and acceptable in household duties whether servants or wives. The boys at Eckstein Norton have a more varied field for the adaptation of their talents—printing, shoemaking, painting, carpentry, barbering, farming, etc., are taught with other industrial work. As before stated higher education is not neglected. Those who care for it can have the best instructions in music, the languages and in the fine arts generally. These departments are under competent teachers. Dr. Parrish has, since his incumbency as president of Eckstein Norton carried his graduating classes to Louisville for their final farewell to their school and their debut to the world of affairs. These are impressive and yet glorious occasions. The L. and N. railroad, which regards the school as its protege, furnishes the coaches gratis, and what, with the brass band accompaniment, etc., the last day of Eckstein Norton and the advent in the world is not to be forgotten. Under the influence of Dr. Parrish this institution is heaving forward, standing with the best of its class of schools. It is not here that we must rest in chronicling the achievements of that tireless character. Further yet, out amid the active affairs of men, beyond the church's pale and the milder precincts of the school room—in the stern theatre of actual events—no world of mimicry—in the polygot denizenship of the world—the thousand harsh ideals world, where the fittest only survives, and the few that are in the van are the uncrowned kings, perforce of circumstances vicissitudinal, stands the subject of the sketch. Through his unfagging zeal modestly exerted, through worth and trustworthiness, he has naturally fallen heir to his own: a grateful appreciation by a grateful people who, after all are not too steeped in cares to be oblivious of those who are deserving. The long list of honors bestowed on him by the discriminating citizens of Louisville speak louder than words. To-day Dr. Parrish stands as the president of Eckstein Norton University, pastor Calvary Baptist church, editor "Suggestions," Baptist S. S. series, vicepresident Louisville Funeral Directors, president Auxiliary Domestic Science School, president Auxiliary Kindergarten Association, president Our Drug Store Company, treasurer of Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, chairman Executive Board of Colored Baptists of Kentucky. Besides these honors he represents the race in the Kentucky Title Savings Bank, which is a distinction when it is known that he is the only colored man holding shares of stock in any banking concern of the city. This little sketch can only show in a poor way some of the greater events in a life crowded with good deeds and accomplishments. Kentuoky, the race everywhere, may well be proud of his distinction and honors, holding them as indicative of the possibilities of the race and its ultimate end. Jacob Street Tabernacle church is extremely fortunate in having for its pastor Rev P. A. Wallace. He is a graduate of Maryville College of Tennessee, the only one in that State where the doors are open to either race, and of Lincoln University. He is a prime favorite with Bishop Clinton, who generally succeeds in carrying him into his different conferences. Rev. Wallace is THE CHURCH a young man who wears his degrees of A.M. and S. T. B. with ease. Since coming to Jacob Street he has created a living spirit in things generally. He has vastly beautified the interior and the exterior of the church house, making it one of the handsomest in the city. July 14 was the reopening day. Between $400 and $500 was raised. Rev. L. G. Jordan D. D., secretary Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, is well known for his efficiency in the conduct of his office. His energy, tact and perseverance have served to put the board in a good financial condition. Dr. Jordan has q ite a reputation as a temperance advocate throughout the country. He is the editor of the Afro-American Mission Herald and the author of a very unique publication just out, "Up the Ladder in Missions." The work is a distinct departure from anything extant on mission work, and is destined to become popular. Rooms of Board 718 Walnut street. [Name] M. B. PROFESSOR W. H. PERRY. The name of Wm. H. Perry has long been associated with the educational, charitable and industrial concerns of the city. He is a man of decided parts, ideas, living in the present, using the past simply as a guide. He stands at the head of the largest colored schools South. He has taken advantage of the new phase of education, industrialism, introducing it in his school through the financial efforts and influence of himself and associate teachers. The kindergarten, shoemaking, carpentry, embroidery, crocheting, cutting and fitting, with the prospective addition of the domestic sciences, are the features of the school. Mr. Perry is secretary of the Colored Fair Association, an organization for the promotion of industries among colored people, is another evidence of his interest in the uplifting of his race. Dr. I. A. Agnew is the only dentist of the city. He is a graduate of Meharry College, Nashville, Tenn. He came to this city five years ago, in which time he has built up a very lucrative practice. He will go to Chicago to take a course in the Haskell Post Graduate School of Prosthetic Dentistry. He will return to his practice September 1st. Miss N. H. Burroughs, the corresponding secretary of the Women's Convention, auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, is contributing much to the success of her field of labor by her efficiency and zeal for the work. Dr. E D. Whedbee is a Howard University man. He is a North Carolinian by birth, and like many hailing from that State, gives evidences of the fine old stock from which he sprang. He is among the most popular doctors of the city. Diseases of women and children are his specialty. He is located at 1183 W. Chestnut street. S. W. Jordan & Sons, 944 W. Walnut street, are wholesale dealers in creams and ices. They have succeeded in building up an excellent business by honest dealing and strict business methods. They have a first class stand where soda water and cream is sold at retail. Mr. Jordan, Sr., is very well known in Indianapolis where he lived at a former time. W. J. Campbell, of Central City, Ky., was in the city a few days this week He is the secretary and treasurer of District 23 United Mine Workers of America, the only Negro in the country holding such a position. The order is made up of both races. He came to righten a little matter with W. D. Johnson, editor of the Standard. The People's Drug Company has an up-to-date drug store at 12th and Chestnut streets. It is a representative race enterprise. Under the able management of R. W. Oliver, president and manager, it is meeting the expectations of the people and the company. Its well filled shelves and its general wholesome appearance is very inviting. The following are the officers: R W. Oliver, president; George Caldwell, vice-president; D. L. Lawson, secretary; M. L. Goodall, treasurer. Board of Directors —R. W. Oliver, E. G. Harris, D. L. Lawson, John Gaddie, B. F. Porter, George Caldwell, Wm. H. Steward. The Pink Rose club gave a sunset and moonlight excursion July 10. It was quite a society affair. --- W. H. Perry is the genial superintendent of the Plymouth Congregation church Sunday school. Rev. J. Frank, pastor of Fifth Street Baptist church is the president of one the prominent undertaking concerns. E. I. Masterson is Louisville's most fashionable tailor.

Thus we see that the K. of P's are gaining a strong foot hold in Memphis, the State of Tennessee and throughout the world. Everywhere her proud banner is seen floating in the breeze.

Green writes from Birmingham.—At the Traction Park the "Bag time Opera" Co. played to two weeks of the largest audiences ever congregated to see a show of any kind there. The first week's bill being the "African Princes" by the writer, presenting an oil of high-class artists, such as Master Blaine Bly, Johnson and Ried, Jeanette Murphy, Gilliam and Lewis, Leggins and Johnny Green, Mr. and Mrs. L. Williams and Eddie Foy Elliot, and every one says the best ever. The last week's bill found the "Medicine Man," another fresh one from the author, making his rounds. Miss Murphy will leave for Chicago Monday 22 to join Slayton's Jubilee company. Regards to all friends. Lloyd Cooper writes from the Georgia Minstrels. We are in the Dominion of Canada making good, doing the best business of the season, and are creating the greatest excitement ever known to show life with our base ball team. The people bet on the boys so and follow from place to place to see the games, that our boys have to pay as much attention to ball as to the stage. They purchased an outfit from the Spandling Co. in Chicago, Ill., with splendid suits and are playing good games with professional teams. The gate moneys are divided equally here. Tomorrow we play in Virden for the championship of Manitoba, and our boys are working hard, as there will be lots of money spread on the show boys. Regards to all Americans.

Pickings from "Coontown 400" Co.—We have been out since Apr. 22, and have not had one losing performance. We are headed for the extreme West and by early August we will be on the coast. We are at present traveling under the name of "Coontown 400" but when our regular season of 1901 2 begins we will have the famous and foremost name of all colored plays, "Darkest America," elaborately staged, carrying special scenic effects etc., staged by the famous McCarver, Reed and McCarver trio, carrying band and orchestra and two special cars.

Buckingham Theatre, Tampa, Fla. the Chautauqua grounds on Wednesday. July 3, there seemed to be a tendency on the part of a majority of the white people to ignore us, but after we made our first appearance on the stage everybody was glad to give us the glad hand, which we did not rush to accept. We all maintained the same amount of dignity throughout the engagement, which brought forth much comment as to our being ladies and gentlemen. The fact that we are wanted by the same assembly in the fall is sufficient proof that our work was satisfactory. We also met Wm. Hawley Smith, who was once a partner of the famous Bill Nye. Mr. Smith is a lecturer and humorist and owns a farm near Peoria, where he entertained us royally, sparing no pains in making our visit one of pleasantness. The newspaper also gave us a fine puff. Roster: Mrs. Virginia Green, Mrs. Lester Helms, Mrs. Al. Tutt, Mrs. Cora Brown, Lester Helms, manager; Al. Tutt. comedian; Nolan T. Washington, Wm. C. Elkins, Miss Daisy Robinson. Notes from P. G. Lowery's band and vaudeville Co.—Everybody is enjoying good health, fine weather and the ghost walks every Wednesday. What more could a person wish? Miss Cora Scott, a member of the vaudeville company, closed on account of heart trouble; it is always better to close and follow your ideal than to commit suicide by jumping from a car window. J. J. Smith has completed some very clever musical arrangements; as soon as he can be spared from the cornet seat with Lowery's band, he is going to Boston to complete his studies. P. G. Lowery is featuring "The Sunflower Slow Drag," by Scott Joplin of St. Louis. Band leaders, if you want the finest slow drag published get it. The company met many friends at Buffalo. Brady Miller is meeting with great success as stage manager. C. D. Jackson, orchestra leader, is filling the position very satisfactorily. The big shows will come West soon, although we all like the Eastern coast Mgr. Geo. V. Connors is well pleased with the company this season. Dining room notes: Captain Archie, the well-known business man has full controlling power over the cooking and dining room departments, and is the most successful man in that business, either white or colored, that has ever held that position. The colored musicians and performers are proud of Archie. A list of the host of waiters and cooks will appear in our next. Car items: Chas. Stewart, better known as the hustling collector, has as a pleasant body of porters some very popular boys. Johnie Stewart, brother of the head porter, will be called the "ever-popular Johnie," the next large box of presents he gets; of course Johnie can't help it. Fredie Johnson, porter on car No. 2, wishes to be remembered to friends in Columbus. DES MOINES—High Bridge Park: Tom Jefferson and Jim Jackson, singing the latest hits, caught on, "Don't tell my wife," "If that's society excuse me" and "Waltzing the baby." CHICAGO.—George Hopkins, of the managerial staff of the Rialto, Memphis, Tenn., is in the city on business. A. A. Copeland has closed at Piper's Concert Hall and Ed. Thomas is filling his place very acceptably. Deas and Robinson opened at the Orpheon Sunday. Al-Turner closed at Jennings' Saturday, as did also Cordelia Gladys. Miss Lizzie Taylor was so overcome by the heat that she was unable to go on at Jennings' Tuesday evening. Manager Mack Rutherford, of the Vaudeville, was tended a benefit Thursday eve. Geo. Taylor has returned from Kansas City. It is rumored that Tom McIntosh has signed with Lord Denton's big company, and will create a comedy part in the cast. Walter Smart is convaianceeast. Lash Gideon is expected in the city next week to complete arrangements for next season's tour. Bobby Kemp and his talented "Whangoodoodles" are as popular as ever, and very much in demand. Dixon and Conley, late of Blackstone quartette, have returned from a Western engagement. Miss Ella Williams is booked for a Southern engagement. Ace Brooks, the popular vocalist and musician is reported to have been quietly married last week. (Cigars Ace) Johnnie Christian is at the Alhambra, Milwaukee, Wis. Al. Holman rode the F. C. goat at Masonic hall Thursday night. — Norris Smith and Clara Thornton are at Jones' pavilion. John Pamplin opens on the Castle circuit soon. Hi Jerry Barnes has signed as principal comedian with Mahara's minstrels for next season. Saint Suttle and pickaninies, The Brewers, Cordella Gladys, contralto: Helen Ogden, operatic soprano; Lord Denton, novelty act; and Tom McIntosh, monologist and character artist, played a special engagement at Champaigne, Ill., this week. Tesla Wetherly has returned from Cincinnati. Where was Charley Norton Wednesday night? Billy Bragg is general utility man at The Vaudeville, filling "any old part" at a moment's notice. Speak-of worthy comedians, Blondy Robinson proves himself worthy of the economis accorded him. He sings comic songs comically; his dancing has a catchy grotesqueness; his conception is original and his monologue never grows tame nor tiresome. Pas Arnold surprised even his intimate friends Thursday by departing from comedy and doing a high-class ballad in a really artistic manner, and we are prepared now to see Billy Carrol do a skirt dance. The Vaudeville and Piper's Concert Hall are catering to splendid business, and giving excellent vaudeville bills, but for the benefit of the comedians we suggest they visit Love's Professional Headquarters where fresh jokes are kept on tap. Nearly all of the late Gomm's Extravaganza Co. have returned, but not nearly all of the trunks have. The Chesterfieldian Trio, Misses Moxley, Tyler and Harris, at Piper's are introducing some late songs in a creditable manner. They are proteges of J. Ed Green, hence the title. Henderson Siam won his suit against Manager Gomm at Milwaukee last week. The court having no sympathy or patience for a manager who tries to evade payment of salaries. There is a comedian at Piper's whom nature has endowed with a good voice and lean, lank, long legs, and when he does "The Rag Ma La"—well, you ought to see and hear him. Lost. A voice: Finder please return to Air Ship, and no questions asked. Three of the cleverest, most versatile and popular performers in Chicago are Grundy, Vanghner and Grundy, and they deserve special comment. Chas. T. Small. Al. E. Holman, Nellie V. Small, Mamie Holman, Chas. J. Ross and Willie Umph are the big six with the "Down Mobile" Co. next season, and report rehearsals will commence early in August. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS parents, husband and a host of friends to mourn their loss. We of the community feel her death as a great loss because of her being a true christian and lover of society. Mr. Albert Clemmons, her affectionate husband, has our sympathy, and we hope he will join his loving wife again beyond the river of death to part no more. The pastor and congregation of Avery Chapel A. M. E. church deserve much praise for their work of relieving the heavy indebtedness that hung over them. In the last six months they have raised the sum of $1,170. God has also blessed them with fifty souls of conversions. Master Prince Bowman, one of our hustling little boys, will represent The Freeman. We hope his many friends will cater to his support. In behalf of the Tabernacle Baptist church we extend an invitation to our many readers to attend the 19th anniversary of that church to be held there Sunday, July 21, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. This faithful congregation, under the pastorate of the Rev. N. H. Plus, is making a great effort to raise a fund to be used in behalf of the worthy cause of christianity. There are a great many reasons why we make such an urgent appeal in sympathy with this body of representative people, but one in particular is their: untiring zeal and determination for a closer walk with God. They have taken a stand that if "we have to give over to the satanic powers of hell to raise money to carry on the good work of our church, we will suffer all to be destroyed rather than surrender our alliance to the Master." Miss Corinne Webster is visiting relatives out of the city. Miss Dora Anderson, of Helena, Ark., will spend the summer in this city, and will be glad to have her friends call at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fleming, 253 Dunlap street. Miss Lizzie M. Plunkett is visiting her relatives in different sections of this State. Messrs. Jim Turner, Chas. Bynum, Frank McDonald and Douglass Burk's orchestra are playing the latest two-step with great success. They are the pride of the old Bluff City. Mrs. Watt Ballard is indisposed this week. During the parade of the Knights of Pythias, last week, Mr. John Love was struck with a missile of some kind thrown by a small boy. He escaped injury. We ask every mother and father to encourage the boys and girls in selling their own papers. We see no reason why every black boy should not be engaged in the sale of his own papers instead of going to a white office and paying cash for them, and if they be unsuccessful in disposing of them they lose, and when we say you lose, why you lose. The mind is a thing that must be fed. Some people put all the food in their stomachs. We suppose that is why the Bible speaks of a set of people whose belly is their God. We think that was meant for some of these Negroes who think of nothing but eating and drinking. There is one reason why the Negro is not advancing as he should be. He does everything but feed his mind—the greatest part of man's makeup. When a pupilist trains for battle he is very careful what kind of food he takes as that determines the quality of his W.I.

Kid Ashe, of Cincinnati, and Young Walcott, of the West Indies have been matched for a twenty-round go, to take place in Muncie, Ind., August 1. --- Gus Ruhlin, Billy Madden'schampion, has received an offer to visit England and box Jack Scales before the National Sporting Club. If Ruhlin is wise he will jump at this chance. Scales is very much fourth class, and should be pie for Madden's man. * * * Marty McCue, the Eastern featherweight, is anxious to face Terry McGovern. McCue is the lad who Champion Jim Jeffries fancies can defeat the only Terry. According to Jeffries, McCue has the most deadly left hand of any one in the business. "He doesn't try for a knockout," says big Jim. "He just stands back and jolts you in horrible shape. Jab follows jab, and you can't block 'em. I just want to see that boy meet McGovern. I think Sam Harris would look sick by the time Marty got through punching his meal ticket." --- Sammy Kelly, the Gotham featherweight, is still in England trying to get on a return match with Willy Curley, who knocked him out at Newcastle-on-Tyne a couple of months ago. Kelly writes that he is matched to box Curley again in September. If Kelly is wise he will leave the boxing game alone. He has shot his bolt long ago and is numbered with the "has beens." George Dixon beat Curley to a standstill at a time when little George had gone "way back," but yet was good enough to handle the best product that England could furnish at his weight. Kelly is old and stale. Not even a "good old wagon" in pugilism. --- Kid McCoy has issued another challenge to the world at large and Jim Jeffries in particular. While I feel justified in saying that he is certainly a fistic marvel, this sort of thing is grown-monotonous. McCoy knows in his heart that Jeffries will take no notice of any defiance that he may hurl at the heavy-weight champion. But the astute Kid bankers after newspaper notoriety, and will never sink out of sight as long as his hand can wield a pen. Just at present, Charley Mitchell is the Kid's strongest supporter; but Pony Moore, Mitchell's father-in-law, does not share Charley's admiration for the Hooster boxer. Moore's opinion of McCoy is as follows, according to Lou Houseman: "The Kid might some day become champion of the world if he were not so impressed with his own importance. His son is sinking, and, after a short time, the public will grow tired of putting money in his slot machine. Charley Mitchell was the only scientific fighter England ever produced. I say 'was, because Charley is not likely to get on a scrap with any of the dude dabbers. My son-in-law is as shifty on his feet as he ever was, and he could put up a fight right now that would make take to the tall timber. I want to see him whip that faint-heart freak of the ring, Jim Corbett, and I know he can do it if we can persuade that parody of pugilism to meet him. "During Charley's visit to Turkey recently he was taken to the Sultan's palace and gave an exhibition of boxing before the high mogul of the Mohammedan creed. He knocked out half a THE MOWER That will Kill all the Weeds in your Lawn.

The Sultan ordered his grand vizier to give Charley a large emerald ring, which he now wears." It looks as though Charley stands pretty solid with his father-in-law. *** The unusual spectacle of the two big pugilists, Robert Fitzsimmons and Gus Ruhlin, in the role of Graeco-Roman wrestlers attracted 2,500 people to Madison Square Garden a few nights ago Ruhlin won in straight falls, in rather short order. While the contest would hardly pass muster as a high-grade Graeco-Roman exhibition, it was a game peculiar to itself, in which fighting and wrestling were dished up indiscriminately. At times the affair approached brilliancy as a sparring contest. All this amused the spectators. Ruhlin had the advantage in weight, with his 195 pounds, against Fitzsimmon's 165. At the beginning of each bout the men would face each other in correct fighting positions and fein until one would secure a hold on the other. The affair was odd but very interesting. --- The origin of baseball—"our national game"—is not definitely known, but the first club organized to play it was in New York, in 1845. Singularly enough, this club, like the first organized to promote rowing, was called "The Knickerbocker Club." After 1851 other amateur baseball clubs began to organize, including the Atlantic, Mutual, Union, etc. In 1857 a convention of delegates from sixteen clubs in and around New York and Brooklyn was held. About ten years later, at the annual convention of the National Association, in 1866, 202 clubs from seventeen States and the District of Columbia were represented. The college baseball associations were started about 1863 or 1863. Amateur baseball throughout the Union was at its height in years 1865-'66-'67. Professional baseball was recognized in 1868, and the first games were played in 1869 --- Robert Waddell, still willing, but not recovered from the terrible gruelling of the last four weeks, was defeated by two lengths by Jiminez, in the Drexel stakes, at Washington Park, Chicago, last week. There were seven starters, but Jiminez, Waddell and Teminus, who finished third, made the running and the others trailed. The distance was one mile; time 1:41. Waddell conceded thirteen pounds to the winner. --- Major Taylor, (colored) the champion bicycle rider of the world, has retired from the track. The following uncomplementary article was clipped from an Eastern white daily paper. It reads in part: "That dark-skinned bravo, who delights in being called 'Majah' Taylor, is out with his annual howl. He weeps salty tears and startles a nervous world with the statement that 'never again will I race. There is a combination of riders and managers against me and that has decided me to retire at once." "What rot! What would Taylor do if he retired? He has made more money, received more notoriety and favorable notices than any man or any ten men of his race in the past three years. His recent trip to Europe, where he was praised by men and women not of his own color, has completely spoiled him. Before he left America he was bad enough, but now that he has returned, ashamed of his own dark skin and of the opinion that only white men are his associates by divine right, he has become unbearable. "The cycling game will not go down to defeat because this man states he will quit the same. On the contrary, it will, no doubt jump several degrees to the front. * * * * * * * "In his latest diatribe he scores Amos G. Batchelder, chairman of the board of control, one of the squaresest men ever connected with any sport, and sees fit to cast aspersions on his character. As a result, Mr. 'Ma1sh' Taylor will probably retire all right enough from racing, but it will be a forced retirement, not a voluntary one." --- Doesn't this "jar you" a little? Because Taylor refuses to allow old Batchelder to make a "nigger" of him, he is forced (?) to retire. Taylor is right, and his retirement is voluntary, too. I like to take a poke at the above writer. Batchelder ordered Taylor to the races last Thursday and Friday nights, sick or well, dead or alive, or $500 fine. Taylor was sick and unable to attend; hence the retirement. In nearly ever race Major rides, a plot is made by his white opponents to run into, "head" or "pocket" him so a white rider can win. Once in a great while the bunch succeeds in their dirty work, and when they do the BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of 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 member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long 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 number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are 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 these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guard we will forfeit $0.00. Now, we ask lately agree to forfeit $0.00 if you if they were not true to all we clerk several years under this guarantee, who has used Ozone has been satisfied. 20,000 people are to-day using recommends Ozone as the King of take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinsome Hair. It will make short, hair your head of all itching, worrying and Scurf can not live after Ozone h from falling out. It will restore Ozone hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a remedies to straighten hair, but when you use to hot irons. Friends, do not life of the hair, and cause it to drow outside assistance. Nothing but O straight forever.

The price of Ozone is 50c. a b this liberal offer, which is good at a to us, enclosing with it the sum of four large boxes of Ozone and one which makes black skin bright, ros skin diseases.

We will also include one package absolutely CHEMICALLY PURE, which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00.

We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. The price of Ozono is 50c. a bottle—4 boxes do the work. We make this liberal offer, which is good at any time: Cut out this coupon and send to us, enclosing with it the sum of One Dollar, and we will forward to you four large boxes of Ozono and one large bottle of Electrical Skin Refiner, which makes black skin bright, rough skin soft and pliant, and cures all skin diseases.

Why didn't Batchelder order a close watch on Taylor's adversaries in Taylor's behalf, after repeated appeals for fouling? No, Batchelder is too "square" a sport to give a black man his justice. That's right Major, retire; Batchelder is no friend to you. You've got money, now live easy. These fellows are jealous of your honors and prejudiced to your color.

POLITICAL NOTES The Republican primaries to be held next Tuesday promise to be very interesting, and it seems that some surprises are in store. The greatest fight is the mayorality nomination between Mr. Bookwalter and Mr. McGregor. We give below a brief sketch of some of the most popular aspirants: John McGregor, the candidate for mayor, is at present a county commissioner and has served the people admirably for two terms in this capacity. He is accredited with being the people's candidate as he has no connection with any ring or organization. We believe Mr. McGregor will receive good support from the colored voters as he has been very liberal in dispensing labor to them. James A. Billingsley is a candidate for re-election as council man from the second ward, and without doubt will be awarded the nomination. A good stiff fight is in progress in the third ward between John H. Crall, the present representative, and Wm. A. Bristor. Mr. Bristor is being pushed by some of the political leaders, while Mr. Crall is being supported by the rank and file together with the large colored vote in that ward. It is said that Mr. Bristor made some very uncomplimentary remarks concerning the colored contingency in his ward, and they are out for revenge. Fred W. Eppert, of the well-known firm of Brockway & Eppert has a practical walk-a-way for the nomination as councilman in the fourth ward. Mr. Eppert is a sound, trustworthy business man, and the voters of that ward can safely trust their interests in his hands. In the sixth ward there are several good men to choose from, either of whom would, ably represent the ward in the council. They are Dr. Rolla W. Bula, Albert Daller, W. A. Rhodes and Carey McPherson, all of whom are staunch and active republicans. Dr. Bula is a practicing physician with offices in the Stewart block; Albert Daller is at present a member of the council, and has served with distinction to himself, his constituents and the city. W. A. Rhodes is a real estate agent on Market street, and was once betore an applicant for the office. He has a good following and will make a good race. Carey McPherson is a representative of the travelling men, who are now exerting quite an influence in political circles. Mr. McPherson has offices in the Stevenson building. The fight in the seventh ward is between Daniel Linus and Thomas A. Wynne and it gives promise of being fought to a finish. Mr. Linus is deputy county treasurer and has excellent training in the art of politics. Mr. Wynne is associated in business with the Indianapolis Light and Power company, and is a thorough business man who would ably represent the constituents of that ward. There are fifteen aspirants for councilmen at large. John A. Puryear is the only colored man seeking recognition at the hands of the party. He has held a chair in the council for several terms. Among the other more prominent men may be mentioned Harold Megrew, Brice P. Brown, Lewis W. Cooper, Wm. H Kopp, Fred W. Gaule, Lew Shank, W. H. Wheeler, Harry M Malderman and Jacqueline S. Holiday. All of the candidates are well known business men and all of them are capable of ably representing the people in the council. W. H. Wheeler is a dealer in wholesale meats at the Indianapolis Abbatior, where he has been for twelve years. He was assessor for Washington township for four years. He is at present a member of the council and his record is above reproach, and is very commendable. He will in all probability be the soldier nominated at the primaries. Fred. W. Gaul, who held a seat in the council in 1888, is in business at 431 W. Morris street, where he has been located for many years. He is a staircase and energetic republican and is worthy of the honor if bestowed on him. W. A. Kopp is a master plumber at 2234 W. New York street and this is the first that he has sought office. He is well known in the third and fourth wards where he has given employment to a great many people. He is in close touch with the needs of the city and its necessary improvements, which would make him a valuable man. Harold Megrew is at present councilman from the sixth ward, and has ably represented his constituents in the council. He has offices in W. Market street. He has taken active interests in the affairs of the city, and has proved a valuable councilman. There are no doubts but that he will receive enough votes at the primaries to receive the nomination. S. Holliday is a member of the firm of Holliday & Son, South Meridian street, and is representative of the younger element. Lewis W. Cooper is a member of the firm of W. D. Cooper, wholesale boot and shoe men. Mr. Cooper is an active republican worker and will make a good councilman. Harry M. Halderman is associated in business with McEwainne & Richards. Mr. Halderman is a commercial business man, posing these qualifications necessary for councilman recognition. Brice P. Brown is the representative of the Indianapolis Fancy Cooky Co. He also is an active and energetic republican worker and is thoroughly competent and amply able to assist in the affairs of this large and growing city. W. E. Wink is the well known auctioneer at 330 E. Washington. His candidacy is with meeting approval all over the city, where he is known for his staunchness in behalf of the party. Although a young man Mr. Shanks gives promise to being one of the successful aspirants. Chas. N. Elliott is a candidate again for nomination for city clerk. Mr. Elliott is possibly the best known young political leader in the city, as he has been prominent in the management of republican affairs. He has the position and consequently will be nominated. The nomination of police judge offers a pretty race between Ira Holmes, a prominent nent attorney in the Stevenson building, Thomas Collins, present prosecutor in the police court, and Geo. W. Stubbs, former police judge, Mr. Holmes gives a much strenuous speech. Mr. Collins seems to have the support of the leaders. Mr. Holmes is well known and it is to be hoped by a great many that he will succeed.
