Lest You Forget, We Say It Yet the Mid-Summer Reduction, One Year for $1.00 THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER KENTUCKY'S MECCA LOUISVILLE SOCIETY INTERMIN GLES AT THE FAIR--PROMI- NENT VISITORS WITHIN GATES OF THE CITY. THE EVENT A CREDITABLE ONE And Long to be Remembered are the Numerous Exhibits Which Show That the Race is Doing--Men of Note--Personals. Capt. B. P. Bell, as he is familiarly known, is the custodian of the Louisville Medical College. That he is greatly respected is proven by his high relation with the people generally. He has for years been connected with the order of Masons, whose offices he has filled from the lowest to the M. V. G. of the Grand Patriarchie. Captain Bell has attended the B. M. C., Triennial meets, Grand Conclave. He has been elected representative to the Grand Patriarchie which meets in Pittsburg, Pa., in September. For the eleventh time he has been made Captain General of the Louisville Patriarchie. He is chairman of the committee of arrangements of the Consolidated Odd Fellows. He is a member of Louisville Colored Fair Association. Well Known Horse Owner and Trainer. P. C. Masterson, well-known in this city, has the reputation of being the only colored professional trainer here. He has a reputation throughout the South for his good work and excellent horses. He not only trains for others, but has a string of horses of his own; not a long one, to be true, but what it [Image of a man in a suit, gesturing with his hand extended forward, holding a document in his other hand.] DR. SOLOMON STONE. President of Louisville Colored Fair Association. VOLUME XIV NUMBER 32. lacks in quantity is made up in quality. Owing to some misunderstanding he did not enter his horses for the races during the colored fair last week, but he was the only colored man with his own stable on the ground. He, however, gave an exhibition trotting, in which the very good time of 2 $ \frac{13}{4} $ was made. Mr. Masterson thinks of taking up a new field of labor, but at this time he is undecided where he will locate. His great ability in his chosen field of labor insures his success no matter where he goes. Mr. Louis S. Murray was born in New Orleans in 1872. He is an excellent representative of that combination of French and Negro bloods, which characterized a large proportion of that State's population of earlier days. Mr. Murray is a creole. He came North in 1878, attended the public schools, during which time earned a certificate for proficiency in book-keeping. As a singer Mr. Murray is entitled to great praise. Very early in his life he showed great aptitude for music. His desire for music was ably seconded by a good voice which, by training, has become excellent and a fitting compliment to his technical ability. He began his musical career with Prof. McDaniels, well known in musical circles, but soon outstripped all of his class. He persevered until he now stands the most accomplished tenor singer of this city. His services are sought for by the greater musical events, choirs, etc. He has sung with the greater singers of the race, including Madams Selika, Jones, Clemens and others, sustaining his part with credit. He has a medal which he won by superior work, the odds being against him. Mr. Murray, guided by the artist's instincts, is ultra-humane as his charitable acts show. He holds his great talents in trust for the needy without pay. He is the proprietor of a well conducted barber shop at 1318 Preston street, where he serves a good class of people. He takes an unusual interest in the race, looking forward to its betterment. Mr. Murray is identified with the Odd Fellows, United Brothers of Friendship and Knights of Honor. He is progressive in his ideas, standing for those things that tend to promote the interests of the race and the individual. J. A. Reed, embalmer, now with the Louisville Funeral Directors Company, is a young man who has shown great ability in his profession. He has taken several thorough courses in embalming under eminent instructors, among whom were Profs. Renouard, of the French school, Clarke and Sullivan. Mr. Reed's work stands with the best done in the city. INDIANAPOLIS IND., SATURDAY, AUGUST 10. 1901 PROF. W. PRATT AGNIS, Associate Judge at the Fair Edward Griffin, formerly of Indianapolis, is conducting one of the most successful barbershops in this city. He is full of energy, polite and attentive to the wants of his customers. He is a stockholder in the Louisville Colored Fair Association. Dr. E S. Porter is one of the leading practitioners of the city. He stands very high in the estimation of all as a gentleman and a physician. LOUISVILLE'S SOCIETY AT THE FAIR. The four hundred and all their poor relation were at the fair. Prof. W. H. Perry, as secretary, was so busy he confessed that he did not know his name. Dr. Stone, the president, was ubiquitous (dictionaries forbidden). P. C. Masterson's exhibition drive was an event of the occasion; 2.13$^{\frac{1}{2}}$ was the time. Dr Fitzbutler, "Jimmie," was officially at the resuscitation or rather the resurrection of the girl who was "buried" forty-eight hours. It was great fair weather. Wm. H. Stewart, of the American Baptist, was in evidence. Rev. Dr. Parrish and Secretary Blue of the Y. M. C. A., enjoyed the cake walk immensely. Have you seen little George? He is funny. He will make you laugh—Hawkins. But those lovely women—Kentucky, thou art great in resources—fine women, fine horses, et cetera. Just why The Freeman representative was selected as one of the committee on wines is a question. The fair directors deserve great praise; they worked like Trojans. A neat sum was netted. W. Pratt Annis was born for the position he held. "The Lord knows who was second"—the pony race. Mr. G. G. Young, of Lakelands, Ky. attended the fair. He is a trained nurse. He served with Dr. B. F. Porter at the hospital for the insane at that place under the Bradley government. Mr. Young is of Knoxville, Tenn., school. Dr U. S. Beam of Lima, O., attended the fair. The doctor enjoys a lucrative practice at his home, 112 and 114 West Spring street. Bicyclerace—Thursday. Ben, Major A great fair! It was great fair weather. Robert Cole, Ben Pash, George May finishing in order named— $ \frac{3}{4} $ mile dash. Mr. George A. Canter made a very creditable display. He is a machinist of ability. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Silkman and Mr. Jerry Reed and Miss Francis Pope—in a drag. Mr. D. J. Bonner and Mr. C. L. Taylor enjoyed the cake walk. Miss Gertrude Easton, of Indianapolis, accompanied by Miss Minnie Harrison, 1102 15th street, attended the fair. She is visiting Miss Harrison. Committee on Wines: B. I. Davis, I. B. Taylor and Wm. M Lewis, of The Freeman. All served without proxy. W. Pratt Annis, associate judge of the fair, is one of the city's foremost citizens. He saw the light in 1856. But time has dealt exceedingly gentle with him. He is the picture of health. Mr. Annis was taught in the pay schools, that were the order of earlier days, finishing at Wilberforce, Ohio. He has been engaged in the Louisville schools as teacher for twenty-eight years, in which time he rose from teacher of primary school to teacher in high school, where he teaches English, grammar and literature. He is conceded to be a man of ability. Mr. Annis points with pride to the numerous individuals that it has been his pleasure to teach, many of whom are making a satisfactory race in the world of affairs. As judge at the fair Mr. Annis was a great success. He is a member of the fair association. The Western School, Prof. Perry, principal, and the California School, Miss Duvalle principal, made very creditable exhibits. These schools demonstrated that they were carrying out the industrial idea. Excellent needle work by girls and boys was the main feature of the exhibit. Bread, cakes galore, some good, some very good, none bad. The colored folks have lost none of their aptitude for good cooking. John Sweeney, of Lagrange, Ky., was one of the noted visitors of the fair. He is a pioneer in the fair movement which now sweeps over the State of Kentucky. Twenty-five years ago he took the initiative, heading the first fair association. Since then he has purchased two fair sites, the last one being in Oldham county, where the fair association of which he is now treasurer will hold its next fair. This association is the only one in the State owning its own proper- ty. Mr. Sweeney has until very recently been president of the association. Mr. Sweeney is a man of influence in his community. He is a Mason. From Indianapolis: Mr. and Mrs. Emsdelldell Stone, Mrs. Lizzie Phillips. Misses Henrietta Davis, Mamie Morris, Ella Johnson, Mrs. Eliza Johnson and Mrs. Hayes Wilson. A distinguished group of visitors from Lexington, Ky.: Dr. P. D. Robinson, Messrs E. W. Chenault, P. L. Parrish, T. I. Wilson and others. A bevy of school marms: Misses Lillian Morris, Elizabeth Inez Dinney, T. Easton, Cincinnati, O., Lizette Hicks, Eva B Colbert, Daisy B. Harris, Ida Belle Nugent, Estella Morris and Sadie Evans. Dr. James H. Fitzbutler, Thos. R. Tate and Guy W. Smith were the gentlemen. Swell brake wagon, etc. The Freeman man was introduced. Confusion.

LYONS QUOTES A FEW FACTS IN REPLY TO ONE GEORGE C. GORHAM LIBERAL SALARIES DRAWN By Colored Men From Northern, Eastern and Western States, as Shown by Uncle Sam's "Blue Book"--No Sectional Questions Wanted Staff Correspondence, Washington, D.C. It is unfortunate in many respects, at this critical stage of our race development, that invidious comparisons have arisen in some quarters as to the relative degree of recognition that has come to Northern and Southern men respectively. Since the days when reconstruction was in operation, with the Southern Negro an important factor in the state government, the lion's share of the "plums" has been bestowed upon the leaders who had won their spurs on an advantageous field, who possessed claims which the party magnates could not refuse to honor. Even if electoral votes were a trifle "shy," the Bruces, Pinchbacks, Lynches, Hills, Lewises, Gibbses, Cuneys and others of that generation, when the South was the incubator of Afro-American statesmanship, exerted an influence in the party councils that few of the present era can duplicate. Hence, the Register of the Treasury, Recorder of Deeds, and auditorships etc., went in the direction of the states that were felt in the national conventions, as that was the place where the Negro held his greatest natural prestige. The delegates from the North were, almost without exception, white men. The Negro politicians of the North were generally taken care of locally, or secured places in Washington through the intercession of the Southern leaders. Now, because the two big national offices are still held by Southern men, and electoral votes for a republican presidential candidate are farther off than ever, some usually very sensible Negroes are inclined to raise a fuss about it—some going so far as to say that the Northern Negro had furnished the country with a president and had gotten practically nothing in return. That this view is extreme goes without the saying. Southern men here have been discreetly silent, and the talk had died out apparently, until—lo and behold—a white man takes a hand in the deal and avers that the Northern Negro remains wedded to his republican idol, carrying doubtful states for the party, but being ignored when the "pie" is passed around. The hapless cardwriter was George C. Gorham, a one-time republican and a high official in the House of Representatives. Mr. Gorham is now a democrat, and like the traditional new convert, in his zeal and enthusiasm, overstepped the line of safety, and ran afoul of the watchful eye of the Hon. Judson W. Lyons. Mr. Lyons had been "laying for" the right kind of victim, and was not sorry that so worthy a foeman invited his steel. He had his facts with him, and in the Washington Post of June 21st, the distinguished Register of the Treasury, offers the following convincing rebuttal of Mr. Gorham's statement and philosophy, and at the same time answers all others of either race who have been in agreement with the theory that the Northern Negro has been ignored in the matter of official recognition. To be sure the Northern Negro has not had half that is due him, that is true of the race everywhere and in every walk of life. Mr. Lyons did not see fit to reply when the colored contingent was accused of waging war against Southern patronage, for the case never got beyond the rumor stage, and it was well known that John P. Green, Dr. Hamilton S. Smith, Lewis H. Douglass, Robert Pelham, Jr., Will Q Atwood, Geo W. Jackson and others prominently identified with the Green dinner and the organization of the Northern, Eastern and Western Association, had no sympathy with a movement that seemed to savor of sectional antagonism. The "hot heads" were quickly suppressed by the cool and level-minded leaders and Messrs Lyons, Cheatham, Pinch back, White and other prominent South MOXON'S UNIMENT FOR MAN AND BEAST. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER erners see no reason to say anything about the matter. Gorham, however, furnished an opening to reach the solar plexus of this intricate question, and Mr. Lyons lets him have it like this: Editor Post: In his letter to your paper yesterday, Mr. George C. Gorham, a gentleman famous for his stalwart Republicanism in years gone by, and equally renowned for his capability, used this remarkable language: In the North the negro doubtless has the balance of power in several Republican States. By force of habit and veneration for Republican traditions he gives these casting votes to the Republican party, neither expecting nor receiving any honorable consideration worthy of mention, or any other consideration fit to mention. That Mr. Gorham may see that he is mistaken, I will call the roll of a few persons in public service from the States he refers to, and the positions filled and compensation: William P. Powell, New Jersey, Minister to Harvard $7,500 H. W. Furniss, Indiana, consul, Bahia, Braill, $2,603. C. L. Maxwell, Ohio, consul, Santo Domingo $2, 472. 50. George H. Jackson, Connecticut, consul, R. Lochelle, France, $2,000. R. T. Green, New York, consul, Vladivostock, Russia, $2 502. Mahlon Van Horn, Rhode Island, consul St. Thomes, D. W. I., $2,865. John P. Green, Ohio, United States stamp agent, $2,500. Cyrus F. Adams, Illinois, Assistant Register United States Treasury, $2,250. T. G. Steward, District of columbia, chap- united, United States army, $2,160. George W. Prioleau. Ohio, chaplin. United States army. $20.10. W. T. Anderson, Ohio, chaplin, United States army, 3, 160. Edger Furbush, Northern States, secretary to minister to Hayti, $1,500. Dr. A. W. Curtis, Surgen-in. cheif, Freedmen's Hospital, $3,000. Total $23,672,50. In view of this record and in view of his well known ability to discuss public ques- tions in such a way as to sustain his contention. I am greatly surprised to see that Mr. Gorham could see nothing in these appointments ranging from Ministers Powell with a compensation of $7,500 per annum, down to a host of other gentlemen holding honorable appointments, with salaries running from $200 per month to $300 and more, "worthy of mention, or any other consideration fit to mention." I do not include in this list any of the hundreds of worthy and deserving colored men employed in the departments here, with salaries from $1,000 to as high as $2,000 a year, all of whom, as a rule, our elevation to the Republican party. Nor have I mentioned the hundreds in the postoffices, customs offices and internal revenue offices in the various Northern States. I have simply dealt with the diplomatic and consular appointments. Were I to list them all it would take vastly more of your very valuable space than you would allow for this discussion. As to the other matters referred to in Mr. Gorham's letter, suffice it for the present to say that man ever has been perfect and never will be; but be it remembered that those who made laws for the nation directly after the war were statesman and patriots, and no fair test yet has shown that they were less wise, less honest, and less devoted to the public good than their predecessors. Mr. Lyons handles his contention well, and the salaries here shown to be drawn by Northern Negroes will open the eyes of a great many who have never considered that any office outside of the Registership of the Treasury or Recordership of Deeds was worth having. There are not only dozens of places that colored men of influence might secure, but Northern men have superior advantages in "landing" positions that have never been held by Negroes, as the atmosphere of the West, East and North should contain nothing that would discourage a congressman of those sections from recommending a Negro constituent for any place under the government, without jeopardizing his chances for re-election by the people. The South deserves all that it has been able to pull out of the fire, and the North should go to work and hustle for the new openings that their suffrage gives them warrant to demand. No sectional atagonisms are wanted at this time, when unity and sympathy are so essential to progress. The sensible Northern leaders would not countenance it, and the few "smart Alecks" who have caused a temporary embarrassment in the relations of friends from the two sections, have wisely been quelched. While the Negro race is still in the middle of the raging stream it ill-becomes any black man to rock the boat. R. W. THOMPSON.

They are stronger in numbers and wealth than the disloyal whites of the South, and should rule the country, and see that the Constitution of the United States and its amendments (for which their sires and grandsires fought to establish) were not thrown to the dogs by the white people's second secession. *** An Appeal to the "Christian" White Vote of the North and West. As a christian and a citizen you have a grave responsibility upon your hands. Is it not high time you took a practical and intelligent interest in the affairs of your country? Do you know that you are indirectly responsible in the eyes of God and the christian world for all the lynchings and other unlawful and disgraceful acts of your white brother in the South? Do you know that the section that tried to destroy the country during the '60s, is doing it now? Do you know that one ignorant white man in the "New South" counts as much as that of thirty educated white men in the North?" What are you going to do about it? Reduce Southern misrepresentation in congress!! --- The burden of the g. o. p. are the civil and political crimes of the South. It is a Republican president and congress that allows disfranchisement in the South. It is your congressman white republican citizen of the North, who allows their thousand votes in the South to count as much as thirty thousand in the North. "What are you going to do about it?" * If the time has come when the Republican party dare not even seek to reveal the causes of so gross a usurpation of power and dislocation of government, the time has also come for that large, and we believe preponderant, portion of the Republican party not held together by the cohesive power of public plunder to disband.—The New York Press." At the annual Negro conference, held at Hampton, the other week the associated press dispatch says: Oklolona, Miss., Special.—A large number of Okolonians attended the association at West Point last Sunday. Among the number were Mesdames Bell and Crosby, Misses Esther B'Gilliam and Rhoda Bell, Messrs. George Walker, John Henry Thomas, Charles Brame, John Wilder and John Brown. Miss Rosa Lee White entertained at her home Sunday evening; those present were Misses Cordelia Carter, Lillian Gray, Carrie Herndon, Maggie Miller, Mattie Racket, Rosa B. Haughton and Messrs. Will Wheeler, George Van hoose, Evans Johnson and John White. Miss Lyda Campbell is attending the normal in Tupelo. Miss W. E. Kirksey left Tuesday for Prarie Mount; she will have charge of the high school there. Prof. G. M. Reese, of Meridian, was in the city last Friday. Miss Lillie B. Wheeler, of Prarie Mount, was the guest of Miss Katie Mae Carter last Sunday. Mrs. Bettie Fields and children and Misses Josie and Salina Ward, of McLemore, are visiting relatives. Rev. Bragg is conducting a revival at the Methodist church; it is hoped that many souls will be converted. News Briefs Hot Springs, S. D., Special.—Mrs. Bessie Linson has gone to St. Paul, Minn.

Brief Item Roxie, Miss., Special.—The Mississippi Baptist convention held in Natchez, July 28 to 27 was quite a success; the amount of money raised up to Sunday morning was $1,980. This convention is the supporter of the Natchez college which reflects much credit on the colored people of the state. We should organize a business association in order to give our boys and girls something to do after they are educated. The address of the evening was delivered by William M. Reid, a young attorney of Portsmouth, Va., on "The Proposed Disfranchisement of the Negro." The speaker said the extension of unlimited franchise to the newly emancipated slaves was a grave mistake. He added: "The Negro has no cause for complaint in any impartial limitation of the suffrage; but whatever is done, he will be submissive, as he always has been, to the laws of the land in which he lives. He is of a buoyant disposition; he will not dispair; he has seen darker days with patience, with prudence and with intelligence. He will soon prove to the world that he is worthy of all the rights and privileges of an American citizen, and he will be accorded them at home and abroad." We want no more "race leaders" of the Wm. M. Reid stripe, we have to many now; too many "submissive" men are speaking for the race (or at least themselves.) We need brave fighters to lead, not cowardly compromisers. *** There is no compromise between right and wrong, and these Negroes of the rubber back bone type should keep in the back ground. I think it is a "grave mistake" to allow such fellows to live in the country, and that they would have "no cause for complaint" if kicked out. *** What has become of the pliant pen of Edward Elmore Brock? Don't vote for a congressman this fall unless the fellow promises to introduce a bill or vote for one reducing Southern misrepresentation. *** Don't write "a whole lot" about the matter act. Remember "talk is cheap." *** All persons whose letters have been overlooked in the past three weeks should write me again, (if correspondence was of importance to them) directing to 2130 Fulton street, Brooklyn, N. Y. *** Don't write unless you have business. Don't ask foolish questions, as I have no time to reply.

Waiters, as a rule, have the reputation of being a hard lot which is, of course, not always true, not withstanding we could be better, and the greatest avenue for bettering our present condition is along financial lines. Let us save our money, build homes (not too big to pay for, but something that is commensurate with our salary). Look at the foreigners who come to this country. Some come here before they can speak the English language, and before they are here five years their dollars are counted by the hundreds. Let us not be too proud to do hard work when necessity demands it. Some of us have so much mental learning that we are afraid to use the hands. It is a sad mistake; education was not intended to do that, but rather help the hand in whatever it found to do. It is true that I am a Southern boy, devoid of high education, but I am not afraid to work. Notification To the Members of the H. and S. W. N. B. A., Greeting: As The Freeman is the official organ of the association I take this opportunity to officially notify the members that I shall offer an amendment at the National Convention, which convenes in Buffalo, N. Y., September 23, 1901. The amendment will read: Resolved, That the constitution and by laws of the Head and Second Watters Association be amended so that any reliable head, second or side waiter is eligible to membership in the H. and S. W. N. B. A. I am aware that the proposed amendment will meet serious opposition, but I am fully convinced that the head and side waiters interest are one and the same, and I believe that the time has arrived when they should work in unison together. The colored headwaiters' success depends upon the employment of colored side waiters; without which he is doomed. The colored side waiter can exist without the colored headwaiter, but his progress can be materially aided by the assistance of competent colored headwaiters. W. FORREST COZART. Call for Association: Call for Association. Memorize the rends of the H. and S. W. N. B. A. G. Ernesty. You have been officially notified of the third annual meeting of the above named organization, which convenes at the Vine Street A. M. E. church, Buffalo, N. Y., September 23-25 inclusive. It is the desire of the officers and promoters of the organization to make this meeting eclipse all previous efforts. Proprietors and managers have encouraged us by recognizing the aim of the institution, and it is certainly worth the time to be present. It is not a question of going somewhere for the sake of a good time, but to meet as an intelligent body of men and discuss matters bearing on the work in which we are engaged daily. Any man, regardless of his years of experience, can learn something from a body of two hundred intelligent men engaged in the same business that he is. In speaking to a well-known manager, not long since, regarding the headwaiters organization, he said that it was a step toward moral advancement, intellectual improvement and was worthy the membership of any progressive head or second waiter. He assured me that he would arrange for his headwaiter to attend the meeting and would encourage all headwaiters with whom he came in contact to keep the organization alive. We have very important business to look after in our coming convention, and it is the duty of all members to assist in the work that every member may be satisfied. The organization is growing and promises to be a power in the formation of material for dining room superintendents. W. ALONZO LOCKE, President. C. D.

For thirty days The Freeman will be sent to any hotel man in this country one year for ONE DOLLAR. The Freeman exerts a greater influence in behalf of the hotel fraternity than any other publication. It should be in the home of every hotel man in the United States. Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Special.—One of the greatest sights of the Grand Union hotel at Saratoga is the large oil painting that hangs in the ball room. The picture is 35x20, and was painted by the noted painter Prof. Ad Y von, a Frenchman of great distinction in Paris, France. There are about seventy-eight life size figures on the picture representing America before and after the war of 1861. In the middle of the picture are two figures, Justice and Liberty, in a charlot drawn by two large lions, denoting strength; grouped around on both sides of the charlot are the different States of the Union in figures of lovely women; on the right of the picture is Virginia, mother of the Union, pointing her finger over her shoulder to the father of our country, George Washington; in the top right hand corner is a host of angels driving out the evil spirits down to Hades; below we see the Indians coming from the darkness into the marvelous light; below in the corner is a scene that no one will ever forget that is a lover of liberty—it is the emancipation of our people, the shackles seem to burst asunder with the noble Abraham Lincoln on earth and God above; Henry Ward Beecher has a Bible in hand pointing to the God above and the king of kings, a figure representing Charles Sumner raising the black man to his feet, and Harriet Beecher Stowe is teaching them their ABC; crossing to the left of the picture, in the top corner, is a group of angels blowing their trumpets to the four wings of heaven, denoting peace and liberty to all mankind; below in the distance is ships coming in from every part of the world, bringing every nation and representing our commerce with the best on earth; a little in the front are emigrants landing and loading their teams, going to the West, finding for themselves a new home, waving their hats to justice and liberty so pleased that they are in sweet America; down in the corner of the left of the picture are the demons coming forth out of the swamps; Mars, the God of War, lies on the ground, and a broken cannon, signifying that the war is over and there is no more for him to do but die, so he is putting out his fires; in the center of the picture, down at the bottom, are figures of small children representing industry, literature, science and art. Any one that is a lover of pictures will be much benefited by this lovely piece of work. It enlightens and gives instruction to us as well as pleasure. One of the most interesting persons in Saratoga is Mr. Edwin Estelle (colored) living at 21 Cown street. Mr. Estelle is 57 years of age, was born in the State of Louisiana, and was assigned to the 7th U. S. Regulars in 1882 at Fort Barnes, Fla., serving three years, and was in the most memorable battles of the great rebellion. To hear him tell the tales of Gettysburg, Bull Run, Fort Wagner and many others, with his marvelous escapes, is very interesting. Any one could listen to him for hours. The greatest of all of his fights was at Fort Wagner. When the people of the Union thought they would see if a black man had any courage or not. They all tound that the descendants of old Ham was up to his white brother in anything that he knew. The charge on Fort Wagner will go down in history for countless ages, and all of the old veterans have answered taps and their last roll call to the Great Commander, the God of War. Out of Mr. Estelle's regiment of 1200 men at Fort Wagner, only about fifty were left to answer roll call in the morning. Only think of it—brothers and comrades falling and calling for help, chain shot cutting men down like grass—any one coming back from such a fear one sight, living forty years, and able to do a good day's work, is surely worth the public's notice. "Upon the field of Gettysburg the summer sun was high; when freedom met her haughtiest or under a northern sky." Among the heroes of that memorable battle we again find Mr. Estelle covered with dust and dirt with a hot July sun beaming down upon him. In that three day fight he sent many a man in a gray uniform to report to the Great Commander, the one that rules heaven and earth. The blue and gray will never forget that battle as long as they live. The Negro will always get a piece of it, for where the powder was burning he has proven to the world that he is trustworthy and never asleep on duty. Mr. Estelle is hale and hearty, and can do a good day's work. May he live to be a good old age, and when done on earth may he be in the great line of battle where the blue and the gray will be as one, and old comrades will shake hands and part no more under the all-seeing eyes of the greatest of all commanders the God of glory.

When THE COSMOPOLITAN, in its April number, published an essay, at once clever and philosophic, on "The Ideal Wife," a demand was created for a paper on "The Ideal Husband" by the same author -Lavinia Hart. The August Cosmopolitan contains an essay on this subject -on which few people agree -which is certain not only to prove widely interesting, but to cause lifelong discussions. In the same number Mrs. Van Rensselaer Crueut(Julien Gorden) tells the story of the life of the French wife with all her children. The woman of small capacity putsym with, and, prehaps, does much toward maintaining present conditions," says the author, "but there are women of brains who die at an early age of no disease known to doctors, but simply from utter weariness."

There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a psychologist, and that it is only from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not everyone who places himself or herself in the role of a psychologist or he or she claims. And a person of any enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is simply that these advisers do not take the trouble to understand 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 truth of the business clear and devoid of obstacles.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1901. THE NEGROES ARE THINKING. It is very evident that the Negroes are doing considerable thinking owing to the growing sentiment in favor of disfranchisements. The mass meeting held in Washington City a few days ago plainly indicated the disturbed feeling owing to the situation. The meeting, if properly reported, was a spirited affair. Thinking people, out of Washington's numerous thousands, speak of nothing but indifference to the racial weal. Some will hold it useless to meet to condemn the white folks, since the results of such demonstrations in the past are known. It may be so. But it should not be felt that all mass meetings are for the sole purpose of condemning the white folks. It will not hurt to call meetings in which lessons of interest, addresses, etc., might be uttered to the race, calling its attention to the declination of rights and privileges, exhorting it to a fuller sense of its own duty. We still insist that in this fiery ordeal there is some provocation. Unwillingness to admit this will be construed as benightment or proverseness, either of which does not help the matter, because a common ground of understanding is not reached. The few are all right; all admit it. But the Negro masses must come a long "ways" yet It is they who, in their turbulent majority, reduce the racial status to an average that is so decidedly low. We as a race are inclined to feel that the white man is against us naturally. It is true to some extent, but we have great reason for thinking that the white man thinks more of law abiding, taxpaying, own business attending, intelligent Negro citizens than he does of that heathenish set that round up on election day for a stipulated per capita. It may be that the white man is jealous of Negro precocity, etc, but rather think the thing is overworked. It is not towards the class cited above, the better class, that he hurls his malediction; it is against that very class that the Negroes themselves, the better ones, are learning to fear. It is true that the whites seem to crowd back the Negro leaders politically, but why? It is their constituency, the Negro rabble, that is aimed at. It will matter but little how competent the representative may be, nor how much of a gentleman, it is one and the same, for behind the representative stands these same masses, which in a representative, republican government equals ruling by these masses through their representatives. Self respecting men of either race resent this when they figure down to the rulers defacto. While no Negro will favor disfranchisements yet, if the Negroes see only race in the matter, and never conditions, the whites will instinctively act together owing to the Negroes obtuseness along the lines of political and moral philosophy. The Negro will be forced into the discrimination business themselves before long. They are in it now; but not altogether in the right direction. The Negro leaders will rapidly be appreciate in the estimation of the whites if they would appeal to the Negroes on the lines cited, arousing them to their duty, for far too plain is it evident that the great body of our race moves on unvexed by political or social ostracism, and in fact courting it by setting up in opposition, unconsciously, perhaps, to the great unwritten laws governing society in such matters. THE FRE. AN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPE. The little flurry created by the announcement of a Negro lynched, or another State gone wrong on the elective franchise business, will amount only to a flurry, if the great masses are not moved to their very depths. As it is, it results in deeper resentment; then its "On with the dance," after the momentary flurry. These are not interested in the cause for larger rights and liberties, but yet are; the very cause of its lack. Back to their hog and hominy they go; some cursing their fate, others indifferent, while the very few give heed to the great underlying cause. How to save these heedless ones is the question—these who can read, yet do not read—unconscious of the racial struggle, making disfranchisements easy and even desirable. Can these be quickened? Can anything do it? We despair. Lynchings and disfranchising are becoming popular institutions, if we may call them such. They will continue to grow in favor until the Negroes themselves take the matter in hand. The Negroes, the leaders, acknowledge the great deterring influences at work amid the race, but counsel silence because, as they insist, these things should not be advertised. But under such circumstances there could come no salvation. No material salvation without confession as there can come no spiritual salvation without confession. The darker growing days are held as the forerunners to light, the harbinger of day, but day nor light will never come unless there exists the elements and those employed—the conditions. The natural laws of adjustment will be carried out, that is to say, things will be rightened when conditions are rightened, not a day before. All the Negroes must be as good as all the white folks in every respect before they may expect the great balance wheel of justice to revolve in their favor. There will be no reservation, no provisoes, no nothing but absolute fitness to live and enjoy the rights, benefits and protection of a common country. This will be the racial mullenium, a dream, perhaps, never to be realized; but, for all that, it must come or else there remains but one fate, fixed as the stars in their course, the Negroes, the caste class of America. We find, on further examination, that our recent editorial on the Alabama franchise law referred more to the temporary plan than to the permanent plan, which provides for registering and voting. There is a temporary plan which provides for a board of registrars and also for a "semi-grandfather clause." We speak of "semi-grandfather clause" because the descendants are restricted to those of soldiers who fought in all wars. These two bad features, however, are to continue in operation only until January, 1903. At the end of this time both races will be placed upon the same basis. There is nothing in the Alabama plan which will prevent any colored man who can read and write or who pays taxes on $300 worth of property from voting freely at all elections. There are other avenues provided by which he can vote, but these, two present, it seems to us, the most definite and sure plan for voting. The scheme, on the whole, while containing the objectionable features, is better than is provided for in the constitutions of the State of Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina, and in one or two respects better than North Carolina. The New England delegation will go to the National Negro Business League which is to meet in Chicago, August 21, 22 and 23, in a body in a special Pullman coach, as will also the Alabama and Florida delegations. The meeting promises to be full of interest from beginning to end. This is as it should be. No movement among our people will do more than this effort to emphasize the necessity of, and stimulate strong business enterprises. Reduced rates of one and one-third fare on the certificate plan have been secured from all sections of the country. The meeting will be held at Handell Hall, 46 and 48 Randolph street Chicago, Ill.

Dort, an expert civil engineer, who has examined the oil fields of the United States and Russia for the Standard Oil Company, having spent a year making scientific examinations of the Bakersfield oil field, says: "Knowing the oil fields of the world through careful study, and particularly those of the United States from experience as well, and having been identified with the marvelous development of the Kern River, California, oil fields during the past year (which period has seen nine-tenths of its development), I can conscientiously say that it has been absolutely demonstrated to every capable and experienced oil man who has investigated the subject that the proved oil belt of this Kern field comprises a formation of such peculiar and hitherto unknown character that every well drilled within its boundaries is sure of striking pay oil, there being no cases where a failure has occurred. "Can any one reasonably doubt the future of California oil under these circumstances when it is remembered that Kern River oil costs only 4c per barrel to produce?" The Indiana Oil Company Composed of substantial Indianapolis business men, owns 1,040 acres of oil lands, and will have the drills at work in a few weeks.

The governor has granted a respite for 90 days the death sentence of John Shaw, who is charged with rape on a white girl. The white citizens here petitioned the governor in his behalf. He would have nanged Aug 6. Avery chapel was asked by Shaw to pray for him, and the church responded nobly. The theatre going public among our people have a rare treat in the way of a first-class ragtime opera at Church's Auditorium, under the management of the popular Lew Hall. Each week the act is changed. The entire company is simply grand. Among the celebrities it is well to mention Miss Ella Carr, song and dance artist; Miss Pearl Crawford, late of Loudan's Jubilee Singers of London, Eng., in classic selections; John Green, king of colored comedy; the act of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Williams wins rounds of applause. Each number is simply grand. Mr. Church deserves the patronage of all those who appreciate theatre going, as he has spared no pains to make this the greatest place of amusement in the city. He intends to book such companies as Williams & Walker if the colored people will only lend their support, and will stop going to white theatres to be placed in the buzzard roost. Murders, it seems, are on the increase in this city, people on every hand are taking the lives of their fellowmen. In the last week no less than five were committed. Mobs over the country are killing our men and our men are killing their own women at a terrible rate. A woman on Georgia street was stabbed to death by a man last week, and a few days ago the ghastly remains of one murdered, it seems by her husband, was found out on Raleigh road. The very hands which ought to give protection to these women are the first to strike them down. We ask the mobs at Carrolton, Miss to, for God's sake, spare the women and children. The prettiest park in the country for and controlled by Negroes, is that of R. R. Church's. Miss Fannie C.

They then proceeded next door to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Buford, where they relieved them of a gold watch and other valuables. They made their entrance through windows that were left open during the heated speel. Rev. M. F. Fulford is now sojourning at Castilian Springs, Miss. He will soon rejoin Mrs. Fulford in this city. The blind Williamson family, a fine musical quartette, was heard with delight at Avery Chapel this week. Miss Eliza Saffrans has regained her health after a long illness. The Memphis Progressive Association, W.J.Pope, president; Wm. Dixon, secretary and P. Nicholson, treasurer, gave one of the swellest pinics of the season at Church's Park, Monday, July 29. Music for the concert was furnished by the Peerless Young Men's band in mighty union with the New Orleans band, which was simply grand. The spacious building was packed with ladies and gentlemen of culture and refinement. The program consisted of addresses by the president, W.J. Pope, and G.H. Bowles. Each speaker proved himself a good logician. Prof. Charles Bynum's band furnished the music for those who tripped the fantastic toe. Mr. Isiah Crawford and Miss Willie E. Works were married Wednesday night, July 31, 1901, at the residence of the bride's aunt, Mrs. Allen, 986 Lula avenue, Klondyke. The bride is one of the most charming young ladies of that vicinity, and was handsomely dressed in a white organdie draped with braid, roses and white satin ribbon. The groom was handsomely dressed also. They were united at 9:30 by Rev. Wm. Christian. The bridesmaid, Miss Lula May Cox, wore a pretty white organdie over pink. The best man, Mr. Stoney Mutra, was dressed for the occasion. After the marriage refreshments were served in the latest style. There were a large number of relatives and friends to witness the ceremony. A great many presents were given. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Crawford a long and happy life. The various clubs of the Metropolitan Baptist church raised a magnificent sum of money to help in its indebtedness These faithful workers deserve much praise for their earnestness in the christian cause.

Mack writes from Birmingham, Ala.—Since Lew Hall's Ragtime Opera Co., left our city we have not had any special attractions in our beautiful park. I cannot understand how such an elaborately furnished park can stand idle for a week. The King & Bush big colored minstrels will occupy those unexcelled quarters for their rehearsals. From the way these gentlemen and their white manager are spending time and money, I don't think their is a show of its kind to equal them. Theatrical people in all classes should never fail to ask for Chas. Turner, the famous entertainer of the state, when in the city. Notes from Harrison Bros.' minstrels.—We are still in Michigan and packing them at both performances. At Alma, Mich., we played 3 weeks behind Rusco and Holland's minstrels and two days behind Golmar Bros.' circus, and we turned them away. W. J.

The Shriners have had a big week. Last night fifteen new members were made. They are contesting for the race across the desert. The Daughters of Spinx have been busy preparing new daughters for Spinx quarters. The week was a busy one in great anticipation for the Shriners. The big picnic of the head and second waiters met the great midway day at the Pan-American, and I must say I think all have been rewarded. Hon. William Barlet has his hands full now a days entertaining his many friends visiting these many different functions. The popular club at 79 Williams street, Messrs. Glasco & Wallace proprietors, is one the young people of Buffalo should be proud of. It is well kept in its many different departments. Midway day was a moment to the waiters. More than 114,000 people entered the grounds. But little did the companies realize in the higher class restaurants out of it, and the waiter had plenty of work to do. I am proud the good waiters adhered to their feelings. There were not enough colored waiters idle to replenish the many restaurants, so they had to mix up white and colored together.

Harris, of Washington, D. C., will be pleased to hear that he has recovered from his long spell of sickness, and is out again taking the air and enjoying the beautiful sunshine. A grand Masonic reception will be given by Mt. Lebanon lodge, No. 33, A. F. & A. M., of Saratoga, Friday evening, Aug. 23, at Convention hall; this reception is to be given for the benefit of Mt. Lebanon lodge; Past General Assimo, Sir Joseph T. Lee of N. Y., will be master of ceremonies. The best of music will be furnished for this occasion; lodges from different cities will be represented, and it will be the greatest of the season. A. Grinell, of Boston, is in town enjoying the races very much and is delighted with the joys of Saratoga. John H. Green and wife, of New York City, are stopping at 54 Congress for the summer. Edward Brooks, of Washington, D. C., has been confined to his room for a few days; we are glad to see him out again. Mrs. Susie Holmes, of Brooklyn, N. Y., is in town for a short time with her sister, on Congress street. A very exciting race took place on Congress street a few days ago, four boys, four bicycles and a policeman. One of the boys, being from Washington, was finally overtaken by the policeman, and after being accompanied to to the court room by the officer, was fined $3. He later stepped out on Broadway a wiser and better man. J. T. Wilmore, of Baltimore, left for Philadelphia last week on account of some very important business. We have as a guest with us the popular contractor and builder, William R. Banks, of Phoebus, Va. He is looking well after an extended tour of the West, and is now spending a few weeks of quiet with friends on Federal street. William R. Baker, a jolly good fellow and an all round sport, is spending the summer at here; he is stopping at the Lakewood house. EUFAULA NEWS Eufulaa, Ala., Special—Coley Mincer, returned to Atlanta, Ga., last week. Mrs. T. R. Fields is on the sick list. Major Geo. W. Sherman, of the 45th infantry, U. S. V., has returned to New Orleans after spending a week with his parents in this city, Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Sherman, on South Randolph street. Major Sherman brought many beautiful foreign presents, at which every one delighted to look. He is a Eufauhan and every one here wishes him success through life. Read The Freeman and keep up with the news of your town. Walter Sherman, of this city, is visiting relatives in Jacksonville, Fla. A fine game of base ball was witnessed in this city last Thursday between the Eufulaa and Cuthbert teams; the score was 8 to 4 in favor of Eufulaa. The boys all played well and Umpire J. L. Lawrence rendered fair decisions. July 28 was a high day with the members and they celebrated their 35th anniversary at church and the 1st anniversary of their earnest and energetic pastor, Rev. B. T. Schell. The choir rendered some very fine selections for the old church morning, evening and night. Dr. C. H. Wilson, our physician, made a fine talk on "A Minister's Influence in the City." Among other things he said: "No man can today be of service to his race or denomination who attempts to straddle questions and issues, because people will not trust him on either side. The papers read and the talks made by the officers of the church brought out the facts that the year just closed of the pastor and church has been one in which much interest has been manifested in the church work. They seem, as a church, to be in fine shape; several additions to the flock have been added during the year, and considering the hard times, their financial report was very good indeed, $1,146.05 reported raised, with which they cancelled all outstanding debts and made repairs on the building, and made quite an improvement on the lights, exchanging the old smoky lamp to the latest improved electric lights. The future outlook seems fair for the church with their kind and progressive pastor.

Jen ninge & Pye, Cincinnati, O.; 300 pp. A man must be deeply and sincerely interested in his country; deeply an¢ Hincerely concerned about its social, conomic and political problems; in tensely interested in its future growth and prosperity to write such a book as “Breedom's Next War for Humantty.’ Dr. Charles Edward Locke, the author of this very important book on reforms, is as troly and earnestly concerned about the future of the distinctively American people as any man in this country. He proves his interest by his strong appeal to the whole people to en- list in the war against orimes of every sort. He has ® prophetio vision, and 1s therefore able to see ultimate results of the present social system. He has given us a profound sociological study. His work is an index, pointing the people to trath and honor. and setting forth a plan for the amelioration of those vic- timized and oppressed citizens who are ‘cursed by influences over which the in- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. dividual can have but little control. ‘His plan for the overthrow of the saloon ‘aud dens of vice is practicable it would seemfrom hie standpoint. If the Amer- ican Republic would make it ite busi- ness to suppress the evils to which he points so freely and condemns so vigor: onsly there can be no question as to the good that wonld accrue. The book is thought-producing, highly instructive and valuable chiefly as a work to be studied by those who are deeply inter- ested in vital human problems, Anting-Anting Stories and Other Strange Tales of the Filipinos, by Sergeant Kayme. Small, Maywood & Co., Boston, Mass ; 235 pp. We are quite confident that some strange and startling Filipino folk-lare will be brought out and presented to American readers in the next few years by American story-writers who will in- vade the Islands with no other object in view than to gather the materials ‘which are to be found among a strange and wonderfal people. These eleven Anting-Anting stories and other strange tales seem to indicate thatarich and bounteous field awaits the writer who depends more upon his observations and experiences than upon suggestion and imagination for his literary work. The traditions of a superstitions people with thelr fetich and strange customs will ever furnish materials for startling nar- ratives, and especially when such ma- terials fall into the hands of a genius. These stories by Mr. Sergeant Kayme show that he possesses rare knowledge of the Islands and their people. His tales are quite simple; but they are in- teresting, elevating, highly dramatic and powerful in their vividness. In the opening story, ‘The Anting-Anting of Captain Von Tollig,” a remarkable Tagalog charm, is given influence in the superstitions minds that never could exist in reality. The ending of the story shows that the American anny officer was not proof against the native super- stitions, In “The Cave in the Side of Caron,” the second story in the book. the awfal experiences of an American soldier who was captured by the natives, is given, in which the Moro nature is made to show up in very bad light. ‘The Anting-Anting is a powerful talls- ‘man made up of various substances, and in various forms worn by the Filipinos to protect them from dangers of every kind. It will pay the reader to send ta the publishers for @ copy of this beauti- ful book. A Text-Book of Psychology, By Daniel Patnam. The American "Book Com- pany, Cincinnati, Ohio. 800 pages. Mental science is here made a very valuable and profitable study. The new doctrines, new theories, new modes of expression and the new arrangement of matter adopted in this book, proves to be a perfectly natural evolution from the old system; and in these moditied expressions there can prove tobe no real conflict between the old and the new Peychology, When properly taught, psychology has a very high value for parents, teachers, and for persons of all professions and employ- ments concerned with the vital problem Has it ever occurred to you that the Up to Date 102E.GreenSt., Louisville,Ky., 1s the neatest shop in the city.

Life and Letters of John Albert Broadus. By Archibald ‘Thomas Robertson. The American Baptist Publication Society, Philadelphia, Pa. 471 pages. By no known process could the direct- ‘ness and verity set forth in these letters ‘be given to better advantage, The life of a man whose entire career is an inspiration to all who ever came in contact with him, set forth in these heart-talke (for letters are heart-talis in the truest sense,)—a man of deep and profound scholarship, and with a charm of personality that did win and hold friendship, is » valuable contribution to the present generation. Not only should the Baptists feel proud of him, but the American people must always admire him for the intellectual luster— the splendid influence for good, which his example offers to all. This life of Dr. Broadus and these Jetters must serve the world for many years to come. Josiah Flynt’s frequent sojourns ir what he calls the Under World have enriched his vocabulary with many vigorous and picturesque terms, What is more to the purpose, they widen ou! horizons into dark and troubled terri tory. “In “The World of Gratt,” « recent publication of McClure, Phillips & Co. asin “The Powers that Prey, we learn of “guns,” of “dips,” “yegg men,” and “Strong-Arm men,” whc work in “mobs” untroubled by “wis elbow,” never “pinched” unless copper gets “leary,” and never punished unless the ‘Front Office” cannot be “squared.” Mr. Flynt’s very lingo borrowed from the grafters to give color to his facts, is of sinister import, bearing the implication of systematized crime. which will not disappear while the Upper World ignores what liee below. ‘The safest, surest cure for corns ten cents by mail.

The men will scale at 154 pounds. The meeting will take place at Newcastle, Eng., October 14. Plumb was defeated by Charley McKeever of Philadelphia about a year ago. ... Crescue, champion of the trotting turf, added more laurels to his fame last Friday by trotting a mile in 2.02$^2$, reducing by half a second his week-old record of 2.02$^2$ made at Cleveland last Friday. The first half was trotted in 59$^2$, the first time that the distance has been covered in less than one minute by a trotter. The time by quarters was 29$^2$, 59$^2$, 1.30$^2$, and 2.02$^2$. Only a stiff wind blowed directly up the stretch kept him from stepping faster than 2.02. More than twelve thousand people journeyed to the driving park, attracted to see the greatest trotter ever foaled in action. --- It was evident that the wind would not decrease before dark, and at 5:40 the stallion was brought out for the test. Tim Murnin, his trainer, was ready to accompany him with a runner, and Dan Laho waited at the half-mile pole to take him on from there. On the fifth score Ketcham nodded for the word, but Cresceus was not in his stride and he pulled up at first turn to try it again. Down to the wire he rushed, the runner two lengths behind, and this time it was a go. Gamely facing the breeze the champion started on his journey, moving with apparent Brightness and Energy-Not Color-Achieves Success MARIE AMONG MY BEST AGENTS who are making a comfortable income from the sale of my celebrated toilet preparations are several cobbled-up women, a woman reader of the Freeman there is an opportunity offering that should lead to pleasant and profitable business acting as agent for the business in which she may now be occupied (as dressmaking, millinery, hair dressing, etc.), or simply as a co-worker.

The runner caught him at the quarters, and a sigh went up from the breathless throng as the time went up, a quarter of a second less than thirty. Now the wind was at his back, and realizing the advantage Ketcham kept him at his great clip. The half-mile pole was passed in 59$^{\frac{1}{2}}$ seconds, a record never before attained, and here the second runner caught him up. *** Into the fare turn and around it the great stallion thundered, his mighty muscles and machine-like stride carrying him as if on wings. The three-quarter pole was reached and passed in the wonderful time of 1:30. Then came the great trial, for as Crescus turned into the stretch the bitter wind beat him in the face and held him back by force. For the fraction of a second he seemed to falter, but his driver's voice was in his ears and on he came. With that indomitable courage which courage which makes him what he is, he plunged on toward the finish with unweakened stride, and in spite of weariness and the buffeting of the breeze flashed under the wire, a winner against time. But for the wind against which Crescus struggled it is believed that his time would have been a second faster. --- The Atlanta Deppens base ball club is still heaping laurels upon themselves by defeating all comers.

No dastardly thought, no cowardly fear has held it tamely by When there were noble deeds to do—a noble death to die. The Negro's heart! The Negro's heart! God keep long, pure and free The fullness of its kindly thought; its wealth of honest glee; Its generous strength; its ardent faith; its uncomplying trust; Though every worshipped idol break and crumble into dust. The Negro's hands! Ah, lift them up; made rough by honest toil. The champion of the civil war and of the Cuban soil; Their battle swords they flash aloft, though death in front they see. The Negro's hands did valiant deeds to set brave Cuba free. They bore the old flag bravely, and were there at Lincoln's call. They stood beside the foremost rank, with the bravest of them all. And when before the enemy's guns they held the gray at bay— O never could the African heart beat prouder than that day. So if some proud Caucasian cavils at the darkness of your race, Or speaks in scorn of Africa before her children's face. Then lay aside the flag of truce, and de. nounce him where he stands; For Negro's worth and Negro's fame were won by Negro's hands. —Alonzo Milten Skrine. Race Gleanings C. M. Funches succeeds W.

" BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. 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.

The Negro race has accumulated about $40,000,000 worth of church property, and built 19,800 churches, with a seating capacity of 6,000,000. At Water Valley, Ala., recently a horse belonging to J. B. Whitney took fright and ran away. Mrs. Whitney and three small grandchildren were the occupants of the vehicle. The horse came down Main street at break kneed speed, the cries for help and the screaming children adding to the horror of the scene. Onlookers were powerless to stop the animal, and momentarily expected to see the occupants dashed to death. At the most critical moment, when all hope seemed gone and men were turning their backs upon the scene, Essex Early, a colored man, threw himself in front of the maddened animal. A great cloud of dust arose as the horse seemed to be trampling the man to death, but they had not gone a block when it was seen that Early had grasped the bridle bits, and was holding on with tiger-like tenacity, while being dragged between the horse's feet. The weight of the man at its mouth soon checked the horse's gait. The animal was surrounded and stopped, the colored man holding on to the last. Not one of the occupants was injured beyond a servere shock to their nerves from the desperate ride. Early was roundly cheered by the crowd and a purse was made up for him. He received some bruises but was not seriously injured. School town is the name of the colored town established near Benton, La.

SWAMP ANGEL ON THE WING A few Sundays ago, as we were about to pass a certain church, we looked at our well-worn time-piece and found we were just in time for Sunday school. ‘We dropped in and took a back seat and listened intently to one of the teachers ‘as she vainly endeavored to intereat her pupils in the teachings of the Holy One. —_ It was an irksome task. One little girl busied herself telling another about her Lew dress, another about her hat, and son, They were half-grown girls, yet seemed to haye not the least conception of what they were there for, as they knew nothing of the lesson, and admit- ted that they never read the Bible. = After a general resume of the lesson the choir, composed of little folks, took their places. Being a little belated, the superintendent insisted upon the chil- dren to make their contributions at ‘once, and that it was not necessary to wait for music. But in this he failed. The children did not budge until the organist began playing. In this par. ticular they are only imitating their parents, who will not contribute to the church unless they parade to music time ‘up to the collection table. = We know of nothing that is more esecrating to the house of God than this wholesale cake-walking, waltz time parading in the sacred aisles of the church, The good that may accrue from a well-delivered sermon is lost in this mad, wild rash for show, and thus the ardent worshipper, leaves the holy sanctuary but little benefitted spirit- nally. — If parents would look as carefully after the fatare welfare of their little ‘ones as they do after some of the useless, cheap toggery they wear, possibly the presiding judges throughout the coun- try would not be compelled to sentence 80 many well-dressed dudes to the work houses. a If you cannot instill the teachings of the Holy One in their minds while they are young and innocent you can hardly expect to accomplish the desired end when they grow older. The Sunday school is a nucleus around which the little ones should twine tilldeath. The swaggering young man and the free- easy-don't-care girl may be popular for ‘a while in the ‘smart set,” bat they are not lasting—they cannot stand the test, SS ee Greater New York, Special.—Harold Johnson and Elmer Mason left Friday for Pittsburg, Pa. William Malberg, known as the “Mayor of West Fifty- ninth street” who has turned all the white tenants out of his flats in that street and replaced them with Negroes, says he would shoot any policeman who interfered with him. He says when he gets the “‘white trash” away he will move from $42 himself and purify the neighborhood. “I have had a bad experience with white people during the last two years,” said he, “and 1am through with them as tenants for good. Why, there was one case where a man fell ill, and from December last till July he never paid me a cent of rent, and then he died. While he was sick my wife took wine and delicacies to him, and when he died and his widow had| collected the insurance money I went around and offered to settle their indebtedness to me for $50. And what do yon think the widow said? She said: ‘‘ ‘I don't owe you any money. It is my husband who owes you the money, and he is in heaven."’ ‘My tongue clove to the roof of my mouth, and I conld only stutter ‘I doubt it’ and fled.” “The people of Fifty-ninth street will be out in the street shouting ‘Hosannah!’ when I get through, because the streets will be so clean. My tenants may have black faces, but inside of them will beat hearts like those of newborn babies.” Subscribe for The Freeman and be up- to-date, J.

Residents on fashionable North Elliott place, Broeklyn, were amazed to see on the three-story brown- atone house at No. 8 to-day a twenty- foot canvas sign bearing in black letters one foot high, the following: ‘five hundred dollars will be paid to any broker selling this house to colored peo- ple exclusively. To be sold cheap, on easy terms. Apply after7 p.m.” Itis a “spite eign,” neighbors say. The house is owned by Dr. George Washing- ton Heatley, of No. 168 Willoughby avenue, who owns most of Wading River, L. I.

Wright of Marshall, ‘Mr, Wright is a merchant and well known citizen of Marshall, Mich., who was perman- ently cured of lost manhood and nervous debility after declining health for years, He now devotes-his life to helping other men who suilér as he once suffered, Mr. Wright offers to send the medical presoription that effected a cure in his case to every reader of ‘The Freeman who is suffering today as he suffered. All who will drop him a letter ssking fora copy of the presoription will receive it by return mail free of charge, The following editorial by A. N. Tally, M. D., regarding Mr. Wright’s prescription. for lost manhood appeared in a recent issue of ‘the United States Health Reports, published ‘at Washington, D, 0. ‘Wo, as the highest American suthority on all matters of health, sanitation and hygiene, are constantly receiving letters of inquiry about 8 Fellable cure for lost strength in imen. ‘Therefore we have ordered an investigation tobe made into the subject and our medical staff found there were many s0 called cures om the market, but that many were worthless and some actually harmfal ‘Therefore when we gine upon the prescription Tarnished free by George B. Wright, a merchant of Marshall, ‘Mich., we instituted a most thorough laborat: ry examination and found that its. wonderful thicacy depended upon its ‘being exactly cour Pounded according to ‘oper chemicnl require: ments in order to establish. the proper chemlc- tnd that Ie ond copeniely aed meee a an ally, and above Contain each and every ingredient named ta the prescription, otherwise it would be quite Inactive and worthless, Properly mixed and. containing everthing galledfor in the prescription, ts effect upen the nerve centers is truly wonderful and its nerve tone properties easily surpassed all oF dinary methods of medication.

The tortured suf ferer may bear no telltale marks of rain up- on his face to betray his lost manhood, He goes to his grave a human wreck, and never tells of his sufferings for fear of shame. Such mental anguish at times drives him to the verge of desperation,and he is easy prey for those vultures in human form—quack dootors—who hold outalluring hopes of cure only to disappoint, and after robbing him of his money, plunge him into absolute despair. No one can appreciate tne horrors of lost manhood except he who hae suffered them. No one can help such suiferers except he who knows « cure and has himself been re. stored to fall manhood. A notable cure of lost manhood in an extreme cage was effected in the person of George B. Wright, « musio dealer and well known citizen of Marshall, Mich. Mr, Wright for years suffered the agony of lost vital power. He saw his physical power go from him as the result of insidious disease, until he was reduced to a condition of senility, andthe best doctors in country gave him up to die. Like many others, he tried the various remedies offered by specialists for the treats ment of weakness peculiar to men, and it was this experience that drove him to a little study and research for his own benefit, He asserts that his ton years suffering, both mentally and physioally, was turned to anbounded joy ina single night through a rare combination of medicines that literally made him young again. It is the prescrip: tion of this discovery that his. enthusiasm leads him to offer free to any man, young or old, who feels that his animation or the fire of ambition has left him and needs somes thing that will bracehim up and enable him to be prepared for any uadertaking which may present itself, ‘There is no question but what in his in- dividual case the results were just as.descri+ bed, and items quite probable that any man who believes himself to be weak may profit by sending for this free prescription, Many people wonder how he can alford to end this prescription free, but it oost him ittle to do so and he feels a philanthropic interest in giving weak men an opportunity fo oure themselves, A request to G. B. Wright, music desler, Box707 Marshall, Mioh., for his free presorips tion, will be promptly and privately coms plied with by return mail, He is not dealer !
