MASONS IN GEORGIA HOLC THEIR ANNUAL MEETING AT AMERICUS, GA--ELECTION OF OFFICERS--DR. H. R. BUT- LER, GRAND MASTER. A GRAND SESSION In Which Were Over 400 Delegates Arrangements Made for the Sustenance of the Orphanage--Interesting Budget of News. Special From Atlanta, Georgia. The Masonic Grand Lodge held its annual session at American Ga., on the 8th, 9th and 10th inst. the order having decided heretofore to hold all of its meetings in American because of the orphanage that it has there. This orphanage consists of a two story brick building and twenty-two acres of land. At this home the widows and orphans of the order are cared for. The session was very largely attended, probably the largest in years. The financial condition was never better. The session was called to order by Dr. H. R. Butler, D. G. M., of Atlanta. The genial face of the late Hon. W. E. Terry was missed. Memorial services were held in his memory and after the transaction of other routine work, election of officers took place and the following were elected. Dr. H. R. Butler, Grand Master, Atlanta; Prof. G. R. Hulto, D. G. M., Bainbridge; J. H. Covington, G. S. W., Jackson; Prof. Floyd Snelson, G. J. W., Waycross, Editor S. C. Johnson, G. See'y, Savannah. The race for the master was really the only one where anything like a contest was had. The race was between Dr. Butler and Hon. Chas. H. Clark, of Brunswick. When the ballots were counted it showed that Dr. Butler had led by 102 votes. Doctor Butler is one of the leading colored physicians and nurses in the South. He was born in North Carolina, in 1867. In 1874 his parents moved to Wilmington, N. C. in order that he might get the benefit of the city schools. He entered Linden University in 1882 and graduated therefrom in 1887. In 1890 he graduated from the Meharry Medical College at Nashville, Teen. He was of a firm that established the first colored drug store in Atlanta Ga. The Governor of Georgia in 1891 appointed him Surgeon of the 2nd Ga. Vol. with rank of 1st. Lieut. In 1895 he took a special course in surgery at Harvard Medical School. He is a weekly contributor to the Atlanta Constitution. He has been a member of the Masonic fraternity for about ten years. He filled the unexpired term of the late Grand Master, Terry. He is also a prominent member of the "K P." The Masons will grow rapidly under the wise leadership of Dr. Butler. The Dr. and his wife and baby are close companions. They are always seen together in the Doctor's buggy. Crystal Lodge one of the most prosperous Masonic lodges in the city tendered Dr. Butler a banquet last Monday night, the 28th inst. at the Masonic Temple. Covers were laid for two hundred and fifty. Hon. H. A. Rucker acted as toast master. Addresses were made by Dr. J. W. Madison H. Hamilton, W. H. Clark, Dr. W. G. Prunn Rev. J. S. Flipper, D. D. and Walter S. Loy and Messrs. G. H. Reed, H. H. Mobley, A. B. Reynolds, Robt. Shropshire were the knights having the officers in hand. Weekly Budget. Mineola, Tex.

INDIANAPOLIS NEGROES SE As Advised in a Heart to Heal Washington— A DUTY TO As Well as Yourself---Homes Are Easy Feel Satisfied Every colored man owes to himself and to his children, as well, to secure a home just as soon as possible. No matter how small the plot of land may be or how humble the dwellingplace thereon, something that can be called a home should be secured without delay. A home can be secured much easier than many imagine. A small amount of money saved from week to week, or from month to month, and carefully invested in a piece of land, will soon secure enough land upon which to build a comfortable home. No individual should feel satisfied until he has a home. More and more the Southern States are making as one of the conditions for voting, the ownership of at least $300 worth of property, and persons who own homes not only reap the benefits that come from owning a home, in other directions, but such persons will also find themselves entitled to cast their ballot. --- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER HON.

SECURE HOMES rt Talk by Professor Booker T. Good Advice. YOUR FAMILY Only Acquired and No Individuald Should Without One. Care should be taken as to the location of the land. It is of little advantage to secure a lot in some crowded, dark, filthy alley. One should try to secure a lot on a good street and one that is carefully and well worked, so that the surroundings of the home will be enjoyable. Even if one has to go a good ways into the country to secure a lot, it is much better than to buy land in an unsightly, undesirable alley. I believe that our people do best, as a rule, by buying land in the country, rather than in the city, but in either case, we should not rest satisfied until we have secured a home, either in the country or in the city. No man has the right to marry and run the risk of leaving his wife at his death without a home. I notice with regret that there are many of our people who have already bought homes; but after they secure the land, pay for it and build a cabin --- containing two or three rooms, they do not seek to go further in the improvement of the property. In the first place, in many cases the premises, especially the yards, are not kept clean. The fences are not kept in repair. Whitewash and paint are not used as they should be. After the house is paid for, the greatest care should be exercised to see that it is kept in first-class repair; that the house and fences are kept neatly painted or whitewashed; that no "pailings" are permitted to fall off the fence and remain off. If there is a barn or hen house, these should be kept in repair and should be made to look neat and attractive by paint and whitewash. Paint and whitewash add a great deal to the value of a house. If persons would learn to use a part of the time they spend in idle gossip or in standing about the streets, in whitewashing or painting their houses, it would make a great difference in the appearance of the house, as well as add to its value. Only a short time ago near a certain town, I visited the house—I could not call it a home—of a presiding elder, a man who had received considerable education and who spent his time going about over his district preaching to hundreds and thousands of colored people, yet the home of this presiding elder was almost a disgrace to him and to his race. The house was not painted or whitewashed, the fence was in the same condition, the yard was full of weeds, there were no walks laid out in the yard, there were no flowers in it; in fact, everything on the outside of the house and in the yard, presented the most dismal and disappointing appearance. There was around this house not a single vegetable so far as I could see, neither did I see any chickens or towls of any kind. This is not the way to live, and especially is this true of a minister or teacher, who is supposed to lead the people, not only by word, but by example. Every minister and teacher should make his house, his yard and his garden a model for the people whom he attempts to teach and lead. I confess that I have no respect or confidence in the preaching of a minister whose home is in the condition of the one I have described. There is no need why, as a race, we should get into the miserable and unfortunate habit of living in houses that are out of repair, that are not whitewashed, that are not painted, that are not comfortable, and houses that we do not own. There is no reason why we should not only make our houses comfortable, but attractive, so that one can tell from the outside appearance, at least, whether it is occupied by a white family or a black family. After a house has been paid for, it should not only be improved from year to year and kept in first-class repair, but as the family grows, new rooms should be added. The house should not only be made comfortable, but convenient. There should be as soon as possible, a sitting room, where books and papers can be found, a room in which the whole family can read and study during the winter nights. I do not believe a house is complete without a bath room. As soon as possible every one of our homes should be provided with a bath room, so that the body of every member of the family can be baptized every morning in clean, invigorating, fresh water; such a bath puts one in the proper condition for the work of the day, and not only keeps him well physically, but strong morally and religiously. Another important part of the home is the dining room. The dining room should be the most attractive and comfortable place in the house; it should be large and airy, a room in which plenty of sunlight can come, and a room that can be kept comfortable in both winter and summer. These suggestions are made in the hope that a number of persons will see their way to put them into practice. All of them are suggestions that we, as a race, notwithstanding our poverty, in most cases can find a way to put into use. Every suggestion made should be taken up by our ministers, teachers, and others in church and school, as well as in the women's meetings. HENDERSON COMMENTS ON THE ACTION OF PRESIDENT ROOSFVELT DINING PROF. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. THIS ACT IS NOT INSPIRING To Negroes Seeking Social Equality-- Other Incidents of Like Recognition to the Race--Americans Approve of the Honor. In days of old much comment was caused because Christ dined with a certain man who was considered to be unfit for such recognition because of the social and civil class with which he was identified. The centuries have drowned the sound of those ancient voices and time has destroyed the narrow prejudice which then was so dominant. But the lapse of years and the enlightenment of mankind have but served to add to the human comprehension of the truth which was taught by the Saviour's act. Truth lives but error dies. It is not strange that the social recognition accorded Booker T. Washington by President Roosevelt should provoke such caustic comment from those whose deep seated prejudices have been so rudely crossed; neither is it strange that a man like the President should be free from such prejudices but it is exceedingly exceptional to discover a man, holding such an office and surrounded by such influences, who unhesitatingly acts according to his own convictions in a minor affair when he could not but know how great a tempest it would raise in certain quarters. Social and political customs sanction the subordination of personal convictions in deference to conventional usages and established prejudices and many an otherwise good man has quieted his conscience with this excuse. Frederick Douglass was honored with a high office but it was shorn of the social recognition belonging to it. This was in deference to prejudices that were strong but at the same time a principle of right was violated. The Negro citizen has never yet enjoyed the public and high official recognition of his rights as a man and a citizen. This wrong has been continued in deference to prejudice and in violation of right. The public conscience has about become indifferent to this prevailing sin and the Negro, in many instances, is fast giving up hope of escaping from the social and civil status that designing prejudice has marked out for him. It will require vastly more than this one act of the President to quicken the hope of the average Negro or to batter down the customs already well established by race prejudice Usages inspired by prejudice against the Negro have, in some instances, been coined into law and are thus made able to defy even the President.

In the treatment accorded Mr. Washington the President has shown that his own mind is free from the error of race and color prejudice and that he has the courage to act according to his own conscience even in defiance of the customs that he regards as founded on error. This is by no means the first time that Theodore Roosevelt has thus exhibited his strong and noble character nor is he by any means the only distinguished American who has thus acted. Many hundreds of times have distinguished Negroes been guests at private and public social gatherings in America. It is only a few weeks ago that a well known clergyman of Georgia was the vis-a-vis companion of Bishop Derrick at the table of the Hon. Mr. Perks, M. P., London England A few months ago several very prominent Bishops and clergymen, some of them from the South, were the table companions of a number of Negro Bishops and clergymen at one of the leading hotels of New York City.

What does mean a great deal is that, while President, Mr. Roosevelt has shown his personal disapproval of certain phases of color or race prejudice. It may be that the real sentiment of the majority of the American people approves his act. Public opinion is not always the opinion of the majority of individuals. There are times when customs based upon error are only upheld by the influence which adheres to custom. All who approve the act of President Roosevelt in making Booker T. Washington his guest at dinner will also disapprove of the law that forces Mr. Washington to reach his home by riding in a jim-crow car. That evil may go after a time. J. M. HENDERSON.

Jenking at the Plaza restau- vant in that city, last week. We see examples every day of the truthfalness of the saying that ‘“trath is stranger than fiction.” A few days ago while fitting up my aew literary “‘den” or studio I was looking over tons of old Negro newspapers and maga- zines (1) some 1 kept, others I consign- ed to the junk pile. eee While rummaging among these old papers I found my first copy of the Indianapolis Freeman. It bears the date of “August 3, 1889," and is ‘No. 28 of Vol 2” of this great journal. It isaliving proof that at two years’ old The Freeman was a healthy infant. eee ‘There is @ romance connected with this copy, of interest I think, to the present reader. Prior to that date, I confess, I didn’t know The Freeman was in existence, although I then, as now, wrote for several Negro publica- tions, A tew days after the publica. tion of that isane I entered what was at that time the leading colored barber shop in Brooklyn; as I was leaving the barber's chair, after a shave, a young colored man about thirty entered; he Was a fine bnilt man, well dressed, and, to all outward appearance, educated and refined. He was of the Spanish type; his dark, straight hair and heavy black mustache were adornments to his sistely figure—in other words he was 4s fine a looking colored man of his kind and complexion as you would meet in a Week's walk. see He carried under his arm a bundle of newspapers, and as he approached each patron or “‘chair-warmer” of the shop, he asked the same question: “Have yon seen the last issue of The Indiana- volis Freeman?” ‘To those who replied in the negative he gave & copy of the paper with the remarks: ‘This week’s {s the best copy ever published; has strong editorial on ‘The Administra: tlon.”” That Cooperis a bright fellow. eee He walked up to me as 1 was reach ing for my coat and asked, “Have you seen the last issue of The Indianapolis Freeman, sirt” “No sir, nor the first, in fact I did not ‘now that The Freeman was in exist- fuce, although I am a writer for news- Papers in general, and colored ones in Pirticalar,” was my candid reply. He replied by giving me five copies of the Paper, An exchange of cards followed aud we parted. Was he an agent for the paper? No! Therp was a Joker in the pack.

Mr. Goins is ex corresponding secretary of the H & 8. W N. A. and is the author of the “American Colored Waiter’ which is now on the press. P. H. Bly writes from Kansas City, Mo.:—'‘For the past five weeks I have had the privilege of reading your paper and I find no news in your paper other than that of good breeding. I also find quite a deal of news concerning a num: ber of hotels in which I have been em- ployed as side waiter I now have charge of the Victoria dining room with the assistance of twelve men. ‘This honse is one of the most unique piaces for its size in the city, Rates $2.00 and $250 per day. Roe who the “write up” sald was one of the greatest bass and baritone Negro singers in the world, second only to the great MoAdoo. ea Tlooked The Freeman over, and at once decided that it was “the greatest thing that ever came down the pike’ in the form of a Negro newspaper, and ‘concluded ‘‘to get on to the band wagon’ at once, “by hook or by crook,” peace- ably if I could, forcibly if 1 must.” I called my wits together; “blew them off” and got them to compose a poem, taking President Harrison and his Right Bower, Blaine, to task for overlooking the Negro Republican voter. I sent it to Cooper. He published it with original cuts and pictures. This is the romantic way, gentle reader, in which I became a “staff correspondent” of the greatest Negro journal in the world. ‘This, how: ever, 1 not the romance of which I in- tended to write. ‘The romance is abont “the downfall of Richard Roe, the greatest Negro vo- calist that ever happened,” ee Investigation proved that Dick Roe, as the boys called him, was in fact a great singer He was in great demand at all the “upper ten” colored ‘‘church rackets.” (The young lady reader; who is a.church worker, must pardon the slang, as the words are not those of the writer. An author must ue the words of others in his song or story, and more especially if the said song or story is a true one.) sae For many moons Mr. Richard Roe mowed a wide swath through the musi- cal circles of Negro Brooklyn and New York No one could hold an electric light for him. He was, in the present language of the street. (again I beg your pardon, Miss H—) “the only thing that ever happened.” He held a posi- tion of trast seldom held by a man of color. sae Before I forget, let me say between the lines. that I hereby return thanks to the ladies of Lee Chapel M. E Chureb, of Bryan, Texas, for their kind invitation to my daughter and self to be present at the “\Uwn” brithday party given by the said ladies on Oct. 10” Ladies, my heart and well wishes were with you on that night. Yes, { was with you in spirit if notin body. Again, many thanks for your kind invitation. eee To return to my story of Richard Roe: Richard Roe held the position of “property clerk” on the King’s County Elevated Railroad” of Brooklyn. All articles lost on these cars, too large for the conductors to pocket, were turned over to him. He tagged and marked the same and kept them until called for. He had his office and had a white at- tendant. (or servant) to clean up the same, but—Alack! Alas! It is a true saying the Negro can’t stand prosperity.” eee He sang one night at the wedding party of a fellow white employe of the railroad, and the fellow who wrote up the article put him down as a Spanish This swelled Roe’s head; he “crossed the line,” discarded his colored friends and passed for white. He gave dinner parties to which only his white friends were invited. He married s very light complexion colored woman whose rec- ord was questioned; they moved into s flat where Negroes were not allowed, and all went well for a time. He introduced his white friends to his wife and—“‘she went away one sum- mer’s day” and took all of the household goods, and he has never seen her since. He took to drink, lost his place, crossed back to the Negro side of the race line, and became a !‘colored” man again. Of conrse he was “turned down” by the 899 and upper 10, who he had turned down, 80 he drifted into second class colored society, then a class lower, then into the gutter. To-day heis a dirty, dronken tramp, singing in bar rooms and receiving drinks and kicks for pay. None but the lowest colored people will even notice him. I met him on the street the other day (he had forgotten me) and he begged for an old suit of clothes, told a regular tramp’s hard luck story. I gave him my card and told him to call at my studio; at the stated time he was there, I gave him a suit I could hardly spare; he thanked me; walked ont, went right across the street toa “second-hand” man and sold it for ‘a few dollars and drank the money up (or down ) eee ‘The moralg to this true story are many, young many. I will call your attention toa few. First, don’t drink strong drinks. Second, if you have posed as a “Negro” (no matter how light you are) don’t suddenly “turn white,” orif you do stay white, don't try to sneak back home when trouble comes and your white friends leave you. Third, don’t marry a woman to reform her. ‘The white people of the South are but small fraction of the country’s popu- lation and they.can’t run the country neither can they destroy it like they tried in the 60's.

SATUEDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1901. GIVE YOUR GUNS A REST. The Haughville shooting incident is very much to be regretted. At any time a shooting affray is bad, no matter about the participants. But when the highly tensioned racial situation is considered it is menacing to the peace of the community when colored men are shooting down white men, as the event of Haughville proved, or white men shooting down colored men. A race war element enters into these things, whether we will it or not. Every such an event serves to attract adherents to this side or that, polarizing in a sense, and it can be plainly seen to which side will adhere the greatest numbers. We caution colored men not to be so ready with their guns. White men will doubtless be admonished in the interest of peace, by the white press; not because it is white, but because it will have the greater effect. We do not want the majority of shooting scrapes chargeable to the colored people, even in the event of shooting down colored people. It simply means lawlessness that begets the disrespect of the whites and the better class of colored people for that matter. Again, take that Haughville affair, who is it that does not know what would have happened to the colored man who shot the white man had the event been a few degrees further South? It is to be hoped that Southern methods will not be introduced by the actions of colored men that are "handy" with their guns. This community is to be congratulated for its saneness in the matter in not even suggesting mob. But that sanity will not always maintain if colored men are to be booted and spurred, arsenalized as though they were frontiermen watching a border line. Ye that smite with the sword will perish by the sword. Most of the stay-here crowd, in speaking of the ridiculousity of our emigration position have said, "Oh, it is not your color the white people object to; it is your poverty" "Get the dollar and everything will be right." But I reckon everybody sees now. Billions of dollars would not remove the curse of being a Negro. President Roosevelt simply dined with Bookex T. Washington, who was a representative of twelve millions of his supporters, taxpayers, flag defenders, by land and by sea, and yet two-thirds of the country are cursing, bellowing, vomiting and disgracing themselves because a colored man ate dinner with a white man. We will say no more about the fool stuff uttered by fool Negroes. We wish you had some sense—Bishop Turner in the Voice of Missions. We think, if there was a generous spread of the billion dollars the curse would not be so pronounced. If the whole race were Booker T. Washingtons there would have been no Roosevelt-Washington affair. It is hardly likely that the Negroes will fall out with the bishop because he calls them fools. He is so delightfully expressive, so picturesque that its worth much to read him—no matter what he says. A number of white core makers in one of the iron works of this city struck this week as the result of the murder of a white man by Negroes. The deed was unjustifiable, being committed for a trivial offense, but it cannot be seen why it calls for the discharge of a number of innocent colored men who are in no sense responsible for the deed, and who, without doubt, the great majority THE FRE AN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPE of them are as much opposed to such crimes as the whites, no matter by whom committed. The superintendent of the iron works has refused to heed the demands on the part of the core makers, who represented the Negroes as generally dangerous. Such a charge, of course, is not wholly true, for, if so, they would have had numerous difficulties long before this time. The shooting affray is very much deplored by the colored people. So far as we can learn there has been no expression of sympathy uttered in behalf of the man who did the shooting. In view of this fact the white men ought not to have been overcome by their feelings to the extent of insisting that thirty-five colored men, many of families it may be presumed, walk out into the streets. The announcement of the death of John K. Rector, of Little Rock-Ark, last week, was a shocking surprise to many of his friends throughout the country. He was a prominent school teacher at his home, but ill health caused him to give up his position. He went to Texas hoping to be benefitted. He died there. Mr. Rector was also the author of a chart that set forth the doings of the colored people in their several lines of endeavor. His death is much regretted owing to his capabilities and general worthiness. The colored student owing to her determination to stand and withstand, to have and to hold, shows a remarkable degree of courage. Her personal courage will be considered worthy of applause, but such situations must adjust themselves. Late events have conclusively proven that Negroes must move slowly and cautiously in all onward movements in order that the sum total of enemies do not exceed the sum total of friends "In the South, brutes, or supposed brutes, are illegally put to death in the most fiendish manner. In the North, honest, upright hard working Negroes are illegally and in a most dastardly manner overawed and outraged for seeking an honest living. In the light of these facts I ask in fairness, where does the Negro have the best showing?" —President W H. Councill at the Dallas Fair on Colored Peoples' Day. Prof. Councill concluded his remarks by urging the Negro to stay in the South Says he: "Some years ago in the city of Montgomery, Ala, an old aunty was walking down the street from the capitol. A gush of wind swept her bandana from her head out into the sands of the avenue. A manly Anglo-Saxon recovered and presented the handkerchief in the most courtly manner to the old Negro woman. That manly Anglo-Saxon was Thomas G. Jones, Governor of Alabama. I am not afraid of a people who can produce men like that." The Colored American of Washington, D.C., has it that the New York Age hints at the possibility of Booker T. Washington being appointed Secretary of Agriculture. No one will take the matter seriously of course. Mr. Washington will do the most good if he remains the head of his great institution, rather than dabbling around in the office of the Secretary of Agriculture. It is hardly likely that he cares for this kind of notoriety. What we need is a crusade for the conquest of hearts. Concessions wring out by force are too short lived as a rule. The great Civil War, the great boon, regardless of its incalculable good is nevertheless an ever present reminder of fruit ripped from the womb; the awful after pains are manifest in funeral pyres, the faggot, the match, in disfranchisements in general, civil depression, political impatience, in gall, venom the virus of which inoculates but to enfeeble. The Morris Brown College of Atlanta, Ga., has just issued a beautiful and well arranged catalogue. Judging by its appearance that institution is in a very flourishing condition. Bishop H. M. Turner, chancellor; Rev. James M. Henderson, president. T. Thomas Fortune, of the New York Age, in speaking of the proposed Negro building at St. Louis, Mo., says that to insure success and the best results, the most representative and influential Negro should be appointed as Commissioner, and of course that man is Booker T. Washington. METHODISTS INDORSE ROOSE-VELT. The Methodist preachers of Philadelphia at their regular weekly meeting in Wesley Hall, last week, adopted resolutions heartily indorsing President Roosevelt for his courage in entertaining Booker T. Washington at dinner in the White House. The resolution presented by Rev. E. H. Hoffman, of Bryn Mawr, and adopted without dissent, was as follows: Whereas, President Roosevelt by inviting Mr. Booker T. Washington, a distinguished citizen of the African race, to dine with him at the White House, has emphasized the fact that he is and means to be the faithful representative of the whole people, without regard to race and color; and that private character, virtue and intelligence, and not color, are the twentieth century credentials of manhood; therefore, be it Resolved. That, believing God has made of one blood all races of men, we indorse and commend the courageous and broad-minded act of our President, and hail it with joy as an anspicious omen that the weight of the great office of the President of the United States is to be cast in the interest of the equal rights of all our citizens before God and under the laws of the land. There are a great many Methodist preachers in Philadelphia. Their action in indorsing the President's treatment of Washington is worthy of note. Their resolutions can well be considered the typical resolves of the Northern pulpit, press and thinkers generally. Governor Aycock. of North Carolina, at Raleigh, opened the Negro State Fair Tuesday by address in which he urged the Negroes to build up society among themselves founded on culture, intelligence and virtue. In the course of the address he referred to President Roosevelt dining Booker T Washington, and saying to the Negroes that their best friends lived in the South He, told them they did not need recognition by the President, as it would avail nothing in the South He said: 'The law which separates you from the white people in the State socially has been and always will be inexorable, and it need not concern you or me whether the law is violated elsewhere. it never will be violated in the South Its violation would be your destruction as well as to the injury of the whites.' He pledged the best efforts of the whites to aid the Negro, but told them that social equality was an idle dream. In reply Dr C H King a prominent Negro minister of the Methodist church, said that the Negroes did not want social equality and neither he nor his people wanted to sit down to the dinner table of the whites and that they were not in sympathy with any such idea. The Christmas number of The Freeman, now being prepared, will be greater than any previous issue. It will contain articles by leading Negroes from all parts of the country. It will be an epitome of Negro life in America. If you desire to see the Negro at his best do not fail to secure the issue. Subscribe for The Freeman, the leading race paper. The colored student may in her persistence in the defense of right, and in upholding the principles of the Declaration of Independence that declares all men were born free and equal, compel the return of the recreants, that she do not enjoy her mutton alone. The race without doubt will be gratified at the pluck of the distinguished balance of powers. An epidemic of racial difficulties seems to be sweeping over the country at this time. The affair at Amite City, La., where a dozen or more men were shot down, is certainly disastrous to the hope for friendlier relations. It will be extremely unfortunate if events are so shapened that there will be a solid mass of whites in opposition to the Negroes in this country. If such a condition comes about the cost must be paid. Mr. Bookwalter, mayor, dealt out a generous batch of political appointments to the colored boys. They have only the best things to say of him. He's a jolly good fellow they say. Industries managed by colored men that employ colored help is the slogan for the future. Politics incidentally, the trades and general industrialism in the main. President Wm. McKinley's assassin has paid the penalty of his fearful crime, that is as much as he could. Czolgosz, had he been blessed with a thousand lives, all of them would not have been too much sacrifice as an atonement for the murder of the head of the government to which he was chosen by the united voice of millions of people. The expressed preference of the people was struck down on that fatal day at Buffalo—they likewise suffered. Not so ready with your guns, if you please. Good bye to confetti. A horse show next year, if you please. The Negroes over the country are now studying their hand, so to speak. What to play is the question. The Sentinel of this city is considerably worried about the Negro population. It thinks it bodes no good. Exeunt Czolgosz and perish that unutterable name. Yours will be the least mentioned of all the assassins of all times. A committee of colored men have addressed an open letter to the iron company of Haughville. They deplore the condition and hope a better situation. The Washington Bee is not in accord with his fellow craftsmen on the Roosevelt-Washington incident. It thinks it ominous of evil times—very ominous indeed, very, very. It is hoped that Senator Tillman will prove no prophet. He declared that a sacrifice of a thousand Negro lives will be necessary to atone for the Roosevelt-Washington affair. Prof. Booker T. Washington has been suggested as the head of the Negro exhibit for the St. Louis Exposition. He is the one, if he can see his way clear, to accept the post of honor. Mr. John F. Quinn is what may be considered a tireless worker in the interest of his church. Mr. Quinn is a white gentleman who is doing all he can to promote the Catholic faith among colored people. The Sentinel is right when it says that human feelings are not perfect, and that the blacks and whites will have to get along "some how." It is not as it is painted always — a slight misunderstanding. John Temple Graves, of the Atlanta Journal was in Indianapolis last Wednesday. He thinks the Roosevelt Washington affair an unfortunate occurrence as the South had begun to feel considerable affection for Roosevelt, but now all the old controversies over the social equality of the races had been stirred up. He thinks Washington's usefulness, to some extent, impaired 1063 Jackson St., Richmond. Va.. October 24, 1941 Mr. J. F. Quinn: Dear Sir—The paper which you kindly sent me was duly received, and I thank you for the same I thank you for the interest you take in the work of assisting the colored people to a knowledge of our faith. JOSEPH BUTSCH The above has reference to The Freeman. Rev Joseph Butsch is Rector of Colored Catholic church, Richmond, Va. "CO-EDS" DRAW COLOR LINE "Co-eds" of Northwestern university who live at Chapin hall have drawn the color line. Unless Elizabeth Ellis, the young negress of San Antonio, Tex., who was recently assigned a room in the dormitory, is immediately ejected the young women say they will leave the hall and procure rooms elsewhere in Evanston. This ultimatum was delivered to Mrs. Elizabeth Simpson, matron of Chapin hall, by a committee representing the young women of the dormitory, and they are anxiously awaiting the resulting action of the faculty. The "co-eds" assert that, personally, they have nothing against the new colored student. The principal grievance of the young women is that she is allowed to eat at the same table with them. Many of them are from the South and have deep-seated prejudices against such a practice, while others are inclined to be more liberal in their views. But they all agree that the presence of a Negro student at their meals is not desired. It is thought the faculty of the institution will refuse to oust the new student, and the other residents of the hall assert that unless that action is taken the dormitory will surely be inhabited by only one student.—Special to Indianapolis Sentinel. And all of this right here in our own dear North mind you. The fact of the whole business is, that the color question has reached the acute stage, a condition which will require the most careful treatment. It is to be taken for granted that everyone, at least, the well wishers, hope for a peaceful solution of all such affairs as the University event, and moreover that it will terminate in what is right. THREE YEARS IN A PARLOR CAR Faithful Porter Bewarded After Long Litigation. Springfield, Mass, Special.—Allen Dudley's faithful stewardship of the partor car "Boston" has been rewarded, and he is nearly $1000 to the good. Years ago the "Boston," started on an exhibition trip over the country, but got no further than this city, where it was held pending litigations against its owners, the American Palace Car Company, of New Jersey. The car is a combination parlor, dining and sleeping car. Allen Dudley and his wife were taken along to "demonstrate" the car, he as porter, she as serving maid. When the company became involved in lawsuits, Dudley and his wife were left in charge of the car. For three years they were patient and faithful to their trust. They opened up a restaurant in the car, and it became quite the thing to dine with them. Smith College students were frequently the guests of the Dudleys. The settlement of the company's legal troubles ceased to give Dudley any uneasiness. He was content with his parlor car home and with the money he was making. When the officers of the company arrived this week they paid Dudley in full for his services, but he says he has had enough of the porter business. Queen City News. Cincinnati, O., Special.—Dr. M. C.

This is line with the Civil Service. Dr. Warfield is a Marylander, and the first for many years to receive what might be called a Presidential appointment.

We regret the necessity of our coming East at all. We have just played Salt Lake, THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Utah where the boys had an overwhelmingly good time.

The company comprised the following: Messrs Gabe Holt, Robt Pierson, Lepinay, Bonnecaze Brently and the Masters Holt brothers and the Misses Amanda Lawson, Clark and others. Miss Lawson, the leading lady sang "My Baby Girl." She was roundly applauded. In the olio she sang "My Zulu Babe," and "Go Way Back and Sit Down," both of which were well received. Lepinay and Bonnecaze with their song and dance act are a hit every time. Mr Robt. Pierson in "I Got Mine" made an impression. The other members of the company got all that was due them. --- Notes from the Geyer-West's Big Minstrel Carnival:—We are still playing through the state of Nebraska to good business. Mr F B.

Our ladies military band under the direction of Miss Alice Gray attracts especial attention. The female creole quartette, the Misses Daisy Tinney, Bertha Carter, Irene Stevenson and Lillian Weathers are making good with their ragtime melodies. Paul Floyd, Preston Peters, Ed Jones and Geo. Thomas as the "Hot Tamale men" introduce a novelty in quartette stuff. Fred Bennett in the title role of Uncle Tom is receiving flattering notices from press and public. We are at present touring New Jersey prior to our big city dates which include New York and other large cities. --- Notes from the "A Rabbit Foot" company:-This is our third week out and as usual we are playing to good houses. The cast of characters is the same as when we started out and the show is working smoothly and we are now leaving a good impression everywhere we play and managers are asking for dates for next season Miss Mayne G. Williams, Mr. Chappelle's stenographer met us at Valdosta, Ga. She is from St. Paul, Minn.

Lowery's Band and Vaudeville Co.—We are now in our twenty-sixth week. The company has had such an enjoyable season that the time has passed so rapidly that it only seems to us that just one month has passed away. Our closing date, Nov. 2, will be a sad, yet enjoyable event. It can only be compared by a large family taking their different avocations in life or our winter vacation. Madison Square Garden will be our magnet. We have had several pleasant visits in the professional line. While enroute for Houston, Tex., last Sunday we met the "Famous Georgia Minstrels" and to say the least about them, they were all well and looking well. Unexpectedly upon arriving at Houston we met the King & Bush Minstrels, supported by such men as J. Ed. Green, Whitten Viney and Blaine Bly, S. D. Foster and the noted band master, Frank Clairmont which is sufficient evidence of a good company. Owing to the fact that our show is so large, so many people see us, the reputation of the band and vaudeville show has an uncomparable growth. All of the business men, editors, both white and colored speak highly of this organization. For personal mention of the company see copy from the Texas Guide. Everybody wants to hear the "Sun Flower Slow Drag," by Scott Joplin, played by P. G. Lowery's band-Bert Rogers has recovered his health and his voice is in the pink of condition. --- Notes from the Tennesseeans:—We are now in Kansas en route to the West. The company is giving the best of satisfaction. Passing through Galesburg, Ill., the company met Mr. E H Hall a former member of the profession, but now representing the United Brotherhood, an organization devoted to fraternal insurance. He was the guest of the company at Victoria, Ill. He expressed himself as being highly pleased with the work of the company. The Tennesseean quartette is indeed one of the best in existence and their singing receives the most laudatory comments wherever they go. An amusing incident happened recently; Mr. Conley sings a jubilee song entitled, "Hallelu." The announcer simply arose in his seat and announced "Hallelu." An old gentleman of the Methodist persuasion thinking he was happy and was simply giving vent to it by exclaiming "hallelu answered back with a good, strong, "amen" The audience was convulsed with laughter and, by the way, when Conley finishes with "hallelu" "the fire is out." For jubilee renditions he can not be beaten. The work of Aaron Ware is something of a novelty in a company of this kind. To hear him and not to laugh—well then you certainly have no laughing machinery. His droll rendition of the famous sermon, "Farede-well Brudder Watkins" will put the most severe case of "blues" out of the business. --- Notes from the Mahara Minstrels:— "We are now in our ninth week and there seems to be no falling off in the box office receipts. Our company now numbers 80 people and we are soon to have a sprightly sister team, that manager Mahara has been negotiating with for a long time. They came highly recommended and judging from letters of endorsement etc., their wardrobe cannot be surpassed. They will be billed as the Sisters McChesney. Miss Helen Ogden, the captivating young prima donna soprano is recieving floral tributes frequently and an abundance of compliments from auditors upon the rendition of her operatic selections. Her voice is pure and sweet and her stage bearing is so striking that she holds her audiences enraptured all the while. Success ever to Miss Ogden. The Mahara gun club has a fine day sport at Apple River, Wis. Messrs Billy Young Jack Watkins, Pearl Brewer, Benny Covington, Roy Taborn and Morgan Prince comprise the club and each brought down a trophy. The folks expected to give us the laugh on our return but we surprised them with rabbits birds, squirrels and a large chicken hawk. Our band under the leadership of Prof. Wm. Malone is doing new marches each week and fine selections for the concert. The people are well and agreeable to each other. "Something new" our car is completely transformed into a veritable palace. We were visited to-day by Mr. Arthur Gillispie the song writer, author of "Absence." He attended our rehearsal and expressed himself well satisfied with the rendition of the songs he represents, published by Wittmark and Sons. Mr. Billy Young still retains his tenor voice and with his painstaking and untiring efforts to-gether with his personal magnitude he always wins his audiences who demand his appreciation of him with thunderous applause akin to that when Ben Hur wins the chariot race. All send regards to friends. Miss Helen Ogden would like to hear from Miss Marion Henry at once. The Freeman is our old stand by. ... Cues from the McCarver, Reed & McCarver combination, in "A Honolulu Coon."—"Business is great. We have just finished the Geo L. Baker circuit of houses at Portland, Ore., and if all goes well we will be in the middle states in a few days. We opened at Butte, Mont., Oct., 27th and made one of the greatest kind of successes, all the specialties being received with unreserved favor. The first act closed amid a storm of applause. In the olo. Kid Alston was well enced. Lilly Gary was well received in her singing turn. LaShe made a tremendously good impression with his wire act. Brewer, contortionist, went exceedingly well. McCarver Reed & McCarver created a furore in which Harry Reed was loudly cheered for his excellent impersonations of "Happy O'Hooligan." Scotte & DeLeo Afro-American musical novelty artists were reluctantly permitted to withdraw Mrs. Grace Dodd's song in the last act was greatly appreciated and she received her share of the audience's approval. The production is very handsome, all the costumes, scenery etc being new and attractive. The last scene which represents the arrival of the Honolulu female quartette, Misses Citizen, the stone, Mason and Taylor, at the palace of the king, is one of the prettiest seen on the stage for some time. The dialogue is bright and much of the music is catchy. The Dodds, joined in Portland. Clarence P. Jones is musical director. * * * The American Burlesquers will be the attraction at the Empire Theatre commencing Monday with the usual matinees. The show is new from start to finish and a great many new things are offered by the management. The first part, a satire called "A Yiddisher Christening," is a funny thing, original songs and witty sayings, fine scenery and lavish superb wardrobe. It is a most imposing, glorious, majestic production; presented with magnificent, elaborate, costly and resplendant spectacular effects. Scrupously correct in all its appointments. The olio is comprised of acts that are not usually seen with this kind of a show. Miss Clisy Grant and Miss Rene Washburn, the charming and beautiful soubrettes in an entire new act will please in their own style. Crimmins and Gore, America's most versatile sketch artists will present their latest act, "Like Mother Used to Make." Criss Green, the musical wonder, Miss Maude Detty, singer and dancer, Leslie and Curdy, gentlemen of rare ability, singers and writers of their own compositions. "Zeb's 'Corner' the closing burlesque of this mammoth entertainment is a burtleza on the Ice Trust. It gives an opportunity for the entire company. W. B. Watson has an exceptional strong part in "Zeb's Corner," taking the part of a speculative Hebrew on the lookout for good things. During the burlesque a number of quadrilles and minuets will be introduced by the different handsome ladies of which there is quite a gathering, for which this show is noted. On the whole it is a first-class performance. Our representative with W. I. Swain's Concert Co. (Pawnee Bill's Wild West, season 1901) writes us that the show and concert have been doing a wonderful business through the Southwest. At Little Rock, Ark., the business was phenominal, the big show turning away over 2000 people. The concert house at each performance was packed to its utmost capacity, hundreds being unable to secure seats. In spite of the crowds and inconvenience attendant upon such crowds, great satisfaction was given by the concert, every number on the program receiving double encore. The work of the Jackson Bros (D. J. Jackson and G. Garnett) was most heartily enjoyed by everyone. These boys are equipped a big hit at every performance. Gordon C. Collins and Frank Bell have created a new act which they presented during the week and it found great favor immediately, so much so that they will use it all the winter season. The Harris (Clemo & Flogo) whose contortion act and acrobatic specialities have been a prominent feature on the program, leave, at the close of the season for Philadelphia, to purchase new wardrobe and scenery for their business. Daniel E. Washington presents what is undoubtedly one of the most humorous spectacles extant, featuring his artistic bone solo. Mr. Washington has contracted with W. I. Swain's Nashville Students for the winter season. He concludes his appearance with the song, "The Honeysuckle and the Bee." This turn is undoubtedly the hit of the program. Mrs D. E. Washington of the Washington trio has gone to spend the winter with relatives and to enjoy a much needed rest. Mrs. Washington has been on the road two years con- WANTED stantly. At Camden, Ark., Oct. 24, King & Bush, the two minstrel stars entertained the company in a very hospitable manner. The boys all appreciated it. The last route card has been issued and the welcome legend, "Home Sweet Home," appeared, the last stand being Jackson, Mo., Nov. 2. Notes from Rusco & Holland's Big Minstrel Festival:—After staying in Texas for an indefinite period, we are about to invade the Territories for a short stay with one of the best shows that the management has ever had and both press and public are unanimous in pronouncing it so. From the rise of the curtain until it falls on the last act there is not a dull moment. In our first part you can hear all of the latest coon songs and ballads. The present ballad soloist is W.N.P. Spiller, who sings, "Hello Central, Give Me Heaven." Jake Smith, "Davy Jones Locker." Wm. H. Dixon sings, "Don't Let Her Part us, Dad." The first edition is well taken care of by Dick Thomas and Frosty Moore, while Billy Kersands and Clarence Powell keep the audience roaring nightly on the 2nd edition. The olo is one of the strongest that the management could obtain. Moore and Thomas in a side splitting sidewalk conversation. Ben Toledo comes next in a neat and novel juggling act that is above par. Next comes Clarence Powell in a fresh monologue that never fails to create roars of laughter. Bailey and Spiller have added many new and novel instruments to their clever act. Olooper the only colored ventriloquist makes a big hit. McKissick and Jones with their exorbitantly funny act; Marsh Craig, the human enigma, never fail to captivate the audience; then comes the great Billy Kersands in his brand new act and the last act produced by Geo. Bally sends them out howling every night. Mr. Bally is master of ceremonies in the first part. The band and orchestra is still under the direction of Prof. Jas Lacy. *** Greater New York: Hart and Avery comedians made a decided hit at the New York Theatre, Sunday night. They left early Monday morning for Boston where they are booked to appear this week at the Howard. Yeager, Kelley and Yeager were big cards last week at the Empire Theatre. Tom Brown, the clever mimic assisted by Cyrene, were a big hit on the vaudeville bill at Kieth's Union Square Theatre last week in an act of much merit. They are in Philadelphia this week. Fletcher Cole, tenor vocalist, has rejoined the "Hottest Coon in Dixie," company for the balance of the season. Chas H. Moore's Walhallas appeared before large and appreciative audiences at Port Jefferson, Monday and Tuesday evenings of last week. Among those with the company were, Simpson and Pittman. Allie Brown, the Ritchies, James White, the Taylors, Eddie James and Henry Austin's concert band. The Globe Comedy Four which is composed of the following vocalists, J M. Moore, J F. DeLyons, James Robinson and Chas. Williams were at H. R Jacob's Newark Theatre last week appearing there in conjunction with the stock company, and making a big hit. Murphy and Slater were on the bill Sunday night at the Metropolis Theatre. The Mallory Bros. and Brooks were in the city last Sunday enroute to Boston where they are filling an engagement this week.

The following people are working in the act: Tom Brandon, David Banks, Erb Robinson, Jack Brown, DeCroom, Cleo Desmond, Bessie Banks, Mattie Hughes and Walter Robinson. Billy Johnson is quite a favorite Sunday nights at the New York Theatre. Rev. Charles S. Morris, of Louisville, Ky., who is in the service of the Baptist Missionary Society (white) of Boston, Mass., will speak at a mass meeting in the interest of the work, Sunday morning, at the Corinthian Baptist church, and in the evening at Bethel Baptist church of this city. Rev. Morris enjoys a national reputation for his peculiar work. He is a scholar and an orator, and, without doubt, will be heard with interest. Mr. Ollie Clay, of the Claysonian, attended the State Library Association Lecture Course, which was held in room 55 State House this week. The Claysonian is an endeavor to better employ the hands and minds of the colored youths. Mr. Clay is making admirable headway. Death of a Good Man New Orleans, La., Special—Through the death of Mr. Butler a good member has been lost to several societies and benevolent organizations in this city. It is reported that he was an able officer and a good man. He was for years employed by the Soul Commercial College, and was well liked by all connected with it. His son succeeds him at the college.

Grand Opera in America. By Henry C. Lahee. L. C. Page & Company, Boston, Mass. 348 pages. Price $1.50. The history of Opera in America is short but very valuable and shows the influences from which the people have cultivated and developed their tastes for musical compositions; their taste for the art of music gave rise to other important social improvements. New York has always been the first city in the land for the exhibition of exceptional talent, and New York has supported more musical enterprises, of a high class, than any other city in the United States. The first Opera ever given in New York was the "Beggar's Opera," performed by a company of English actors in 1750. "For nearly seventy-five years this Opera was a great success in this country." The appreciation of the Grand Opera has improved with the improvement of the people. The more highly cultured the population of a city the greater the appreciation shown for the Grand Opera. With increased transportation facilities the Opera spread from one city to another and other artistic amusements were rapidly developed.

The wonderful energy and strength of his virile pen, the deep concern and sincere devotion to the cause of justice, reform, humanity and progress, the abundant showing of complete knowledge of the many momentous issues of our day; and the ample manner in which he has dealt with all these interests and issues, prove him to be a reformer of the most progressive character. He is well equipped by a thorough comprehension of the situation in Wall Street to perform the task which the writing of "The Kidnapped Millionaires" involved. Any thinking individual will agree that there is adequate and sufficient material in the stormy, thrilling, stirring, dramatic events and episodes of Wall Street, to furnish themes for many works of this character. The phase of American life upon which Mr. Adams has written, is of interest to every citizen; because the interests involved reach every fireside in the land. The story is ingenius in its conception and is of absorbing interest. The plot is well developed and the language employed is very becoming. The story gives one some idea of the wide influence of the millionaire class and the strength of their holdings. She Stands Alone: The Story of Pilate's Wife. By Mark Ashton. L. C. Page & Company, Boston, Mass. 340 pages. Price $1.50. Mr. Ashton dedicates this story to Christian Churches everywhere. He shows that the wife of Pontius Pilate stands alone amongst the women of her day in intellect, beauty, and in nobleness of character. Some wonderful disclosures are made in this narrative; some wonderful dramatic incidents are presented with a vividness akin to reality. The story deals with the early Christian era—an era full of intense interest, and the author proves himself a master of his art. He has avoided the many faults which tend to mar the beauty of many otherwise splendid works of fiction based on religio-historical themes, and presents the reader with a book that "stands Alone" for many excellent qualities that charm one with their directness. "She Stands Alone" will rank with "Ben-Hur" as an historical novel, and will exert an influence for good over the reader. The remarkable strength of character found in some of the early Christians—the deep and profound earnestness with which they fought the battles of the hour, will ever be a theme of great interest to men and women of convictions and purposes in life.

MARTH tells your entire life-past, present and future—in a DEAD TRANQUE, has a beautiful smile, and in tests she tells your mother's full name before marriage, the names of all your family, their ages and description, the name and business of your parents, the name and next, if you are to have one, the name of the young man who now calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage; how many children you will have, how many children you will angle; whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you will be sweetheart, she will tell you when you will be married; whether your present acquaintance will ALL YOUR FUTURE will be told in an honest, clear, plain manner and in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of your marriage, she will tell you should know everything about their sweet hearts or inended husbands. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you are ready, and be religious serpents prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, and in tests she tells you whether the one you love is true or false. 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 truth that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not everyone who placards himself or herself as a Medium that can stand a test of what the truth is. It is not everyone who minds mind may ask the reason why. It is simply that these advisers do not take the trouble to study human nature. They do not spend all their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the art of reading. They will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice—in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost envoy to dispel from their minds what they want to know, and gain confidence to the Medium. To set the secret out of a person by "pumping," in no few cases, is the art used by many unprincipial Mediums, but to take hold of them and gain confidence to them, as a master and make his capability to most of them. And yet this can be done, and by consulting MRS MARTH this seeming mystery becomes a reservation. This has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. It so proves conclusively that although there are infingers in our midst with "olly tongues," the gates of wisdom may not be closed. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished Medium, and by a continuous and untriting effort, the key to the well of applenty unaffordable mysteries have been the MARTH program, meant to benefit humanity.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." 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.

Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one 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 Tonies. 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 Seurfl 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.

We will also include one fancy jar of our Electrical Skin Food—Nature's great beautifier—removes wrinkles, moth patches, freckles, and all facial blemishes; makes the old look young and the young look younger.

The South steeped in its prejudice is yelling itself hoarse over the affair, and is shedding tears over the bugaboo of "social equality." Before the people of the United States made Theodore Roosevelt a president, God had him a man. He simply exercised this latter prerogative and invited invited another man to dine with him. Because a man is a President must he forego his manhood to please a narrow-minded class of people? And, after all, how many of those saintly southernners who are now in frenzies over the "disgraceful (?) act" of Roosevelt's, helped to make him what he is. It is all right to try to get the Southern vote in the Republican band wagon but it must not be agreed that if they get in they can run the band wagon and even dictate what kind of tunes the band shall play. At present we have received no reply to our advertisement for a musical critic, capable of writing "virile criticisms" to take Mr. Coe's place. There is good money in it for the right person. There is no telling when the prima donna is likely to break out in Chicago. Although silenced for the present, will she remain silenced? If through fear some able person, capable of writing "virile criticisms," hesitates, we assure them now we will guarantee them protection. Who ever accepts the position, be or she, as the case may be, will not have to flee to the North Pole as Mr. Coe has done. We are intensely sorry this Booker T. Washington dinner has caused so much adverse criticism from our southern brother. We were on the verge of sending an invitation to Ben R. Tilman to join us in a few pork chops, but, as we hate to be criticised, we have torn it up and consigned it to the waste basket. And, if Ben only knew what good coffee he will miss, I know he will be sore. It can't be helped though for we don't feel disposed to be talked about by the South.
