SHOULD WE REMAIN ON FARMS? Is One of the Great Questions of the Hour-There is an Excellent Argument on Both Sides of this Foremost and Vital Topic. Chicago, Ill., Special.—The thinking observer would find many objectionable features in the daily life of the Negro in the big cities. The forces from without play mightly on the pliant condition shaped by those to whom he must look for work. There is a pro and con argument, and sensible, too, why the Negro should and why he should not locate in the big cities of the North. There is reason in the fact that he locates wherever he wishes because he is an American citizen and is clothed with certain inalienable rights, and that among those rights is the inestimable boon, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It may be argued to conclusiveness that in the big cities of the North he has a certain guarantee of such rights, but there are regulations, both of finance and climate, that legislation has up to this writing done very little towards settling for the poor. Discretion should be a consideration in the minds of the individual in reaching any kind of decision as to habitation in the cities, where competition is sharp—and union labor is heartless. There is, it is true, a certain class of avocations in the cities that the Negro seems to monopolize, but even in these in later years the hostile opposition of caste is narrowing down these opportunities to suit a reigning prejudice. In the large cities the Negro seems to be making vast progress along a remarkable variety of trades and professions, and it is by no means strange to notice that hundreds of Negroes are acquiring wealth, living exemplary lives, so to speak, and making a most excellent display of their frugality and sagacity. I see many noble examples in Chicago of earnest, far sighted business strength in the race. One thing is certain, and characteristic of Chicago and that is this, if the Negro has money and wants to go in business, he need have no fear, race confidence has long been established, for the Negro will certainly patronize his own race. Here is one of the proofs of race strength consequent of city habitation, and it is an argument that the Negroes are not to be all farmers and mechanics, any more than any other race of people should so be. I believe that the attributable advice of certain leaders of the race as to what the Negro should or should not do, is absolutely unwarranted, and when applied to the entire race instead of the individuals of the race, such advice is contemptible, damaging and calculated to do great harm. I am not one of who see in the outcome of Negro effort, no matter whether such effort is directed, stagnation and fruitless results. I am not one of those gifted with the vanity of prediction and prophesy. I think the Negro under most favorable conditions is as much and stands for quite as much as any other race of people. My daily observation here in Chicago teaches me that we are rapidly acquiring business knowledge and commercial instinct, and comforted by the results, I see no reason to condemn the migratory spirit of the race. I believe we ought to go out into the great world, see if necessary the North and South pole, just as the white man is voyaging. I believe we ought to go wherever human foot has trod the sod or human thought evolved an idea. Those Negroes who are succeeding most and doing best here in Chicago are those who have, if not the most education, certainly the best learning. I do not depre- cate the fact that there are some short sighted philosophers in the race who argue that what the Negro is best fitted for, that he should do. The mistakes in this partic-ular advice is an appeal to the entire race to go on the farm. There are individuals among us who are adaptable to the highest callings and departments, of science in the most satisfactory degree, and the proofs of this statement lies in the fact that the most distinguished among us are the best educated. No man, however dull, can but comprehend as he studies the race conditions here in Chicago, the stalwart effort on the part of the Negro race to adopt itself to the civilization of this far-famed city. It is true the "bad Negro" is everywhere, just like the "bad white man." I believe the race should do some things as a race that individuals of the race cannot afford to do; I believe individuals can afford to do certain things that it would be foolish for the race as a body to do. I am certain that individual rights of the Negro are at par in Chicago with the rights of the individual white man; and I believe the cause for this lies in the fact that individual, uals are judged for what they are, and not for the race to which they belong. Reasoning along this line does it not stand out very pertinently that in this serious aspect city life for the Negro is the ideal life? I am satisfied to leave it to the students of the subject who live South to advise the Negro to "stay on the farm,"—in the shop, in the oil mill, at the compress, sample cotton and follow every grade of drudgery, make money and try and acquire wealth and be happy, but not on my life shall I withhold from my race the two sides of the picture. I want the professors who lecture throughout the country to insist that the Negro should have a knowledge of AN INSTITUTION DOING SOME WONDERFUL WORK AMONG OUR BOYS AND GIRLS OF INDIANAPOLIS.

Dyezburg, Tenn., Special.-Miss Gehasa, Lyte gave her kindergarten exercise at the Tabernacle Baptist Church on last Friday night an excellent program was rendered. Some time ago some upstart paraded before the country that the Negroes of Chicago owned very few homes—a greater mistake never was made. There are hundreds of Negroes here who own beautiful residences, from a four room cottage to a brown stone front, cost as much in construction as $30,000, and there are quite a number whose rental income is $1,500 to $2,000 annually. Several own buildings in the sky scraping district. Nor do I contend that the Negro is weatherman here than in some other cities North and South. He ought to have acquired greater wealth than he has, and yet it is remarkable under racial circumstances that he has practiced rigid frugality and become at all a baron in this great mart. I hope soon, in another letter, to give to your many readers some cuts of business houses, halls, church edifices, clubs and representative men and women of this great and growing metropolis. which is to contain a reading room, gymnasium and industrial class room. The white friends have promised to give fifteen hundred dollars toward the erection of the new building if the colored people will prove their interest in the race by raising the pitiful sum of five hundred dollars. This money is to be raised by popular subscriptions and concert work. The Delarte Club, under the direction of Miss Dayse D. Walker, is doing excellent HUNTINGTON work, both financially and from a literary standpoint. This club is composed of some of the city's most talented young women who are deeply interested in this work, and have pledged themselves to raise several 25 hundred dollars for the cause.

Dyerburg, Tenn., Special.-Miss Gehasa, Lyte gave her kindergarten exercise at the Tabernacle Baptist Church on last Friday night, an excellent program was rendered to a good school. The young men of Bruce High school gave a grand reception at the home of Dr. A. A. Greenlee in honor of the present graduating class. While working at a mill, Smith Woods had an arm seriously hurt. The members of the Cumberland Church gave an entertainment at the Odd Fellows' Hall Monday night. A moonlight picnic was given one night last week in the Baptist church-yard under management of Mrs. Precilia Foulkes. A good crowd was in attendance. Monday the 8th, J. H. Connell while engaged at work, was taken suddenly all but is somewhat better. The Juvenile band is ready to fill all engagements; they wish your consideration, Omer G. Thomas, leader and John Connell, secretary. The closing exercises of the Bruce High school were carried out at the Georgia opera house Monday and Tuesday nights, the 8th and 9th, by Prof. W. H. Fort, principal. The affair was the grandest ever witnessed in Dyersburg and with six graduates as follows: season work with an entertainment at Wal- ter's Chapel, Wednesday evening, June 25. The work of the school, which was at first intended for the colored children of the immediate neighborhood, to give the boys instruction in manual training and the girls in housewifery, has outgrown the original purpose and the limited space furnished by the original guild building. This work has been of special merit, as it reaches many boys and girls who do not at THE BEETHOVEN QUARTETTE, tend the public schools, and it puts many of these in a way to earning their own livelihood. It is intended, as to the older girls, to make the institution what the Y. M.C.A. is to white working girls. The GROUP OF FLANNER GUIL pupils of the guild range in age from five to tweaty years and come from every part of the city. Even the amusements that entertain the pupils are lucrative, while developing the physical body. John H. Connell, Jr., Willa G. Flowers, Nettie A. Ledsinger, James H. Roberts, Minnie O.

The Memphis Clifford's will play the Arlington base ball club a series of games beginning on the 25th. The young men of the city have organized themselves into a social club to be known as the "Manhattan." They gave a banquet a few weeks ago, which was said to be the swelest ever given in the city. They organized for the purpose of making it pleasant for young ladies who visit the city. All the members of the club are of high social standing. Their next step will be a boat ride which will be a very pleasant affair. Send $1.50 for a year's subscription to The Freeman, the leader of Negro journals. ER GUILD Among the clubs connected with the guild is one known as "Seekers of the Hights." This is made up of girls from fifteen to eighteen years old. It holds weekly meetings and engages in literary work, discussing current topics and books. A group of boys is formed into a class that, during the public school vacation, is taught woodworking and English. A class of children from five to eight years old is taught raffia work. Later these pupils WHO HELP RAISE THE FUNDS. will be taught sewing and woodwork. Many colored and a few white persons are contributing of their means to carry on the work of the guild. Some of the methods employed in the school are those which have OLD GIRLS-OLD BUILDING been so signally successful in the great school at Tuskegee, of which Booker T. Washington is the honored head.

Cairo, Ill., Special.—The Knights and Daughters of Tabor had their annual sermon preached by Rev. Ricks at his church, Fifteenth and Walnut streets, last Sunday. The orders turned out in full uniform and was a beautiful sight. The annual sermon of the Union League was preached last Sunday by Rev. Allison, to a crowded house. The ladies looked swell in their uniform. A good collection was raised. Prof. Lewis deserves credit for his excellent management of the picnic excursion to Farmdale on the 12th. A good time was enjoyed by all who attended. There was quite a number of white people present, who partook of the festivities to the highest degree. They informed the colored picnics to notify them before their next visit so they could prepare to treat them more royal. The Alumni club gave a reception at Clancey's hall on the 9th, in honor of the graduates of Sumner high school. Mr. H. Brown, president of the Alumni club, delivered a most pleasing and eloquent address, which should be highly prized by those in whose honor it was delivered. At 11 p. m. the tables were spread, which were laden with the choice of the season's luxuries. Music was furnished by the orchestra. All pleasure seekers should come to the vacant lot, Fifteenth and Walnut streets, to-night and Monday night, the 21st and 23d inst. Don't miss those nights.

Our Wheat Prospects. ‘The fear which was recently expressed in scientific circles in Great Britain that the end of onr capacity to raise the greatest of all cereals, wheat, was al- ready in sight, had init much to dis- turb. The spectre of ultimate starva- tion for great number of the race, however, seems to have been laid for all time by the investigations that have been carried on for the past de: cade at one of thestations in the great wheat region of the Northwest. This station, a department of the school of Agriculture in connection with the University of Minnesota, has been at work testing old varieties of wheat and certain new ones. Wheat, a self fertil- izing grain, goes on reproducing itself through any number of centuries. The grain of pre-Adamic periods would, ifplanted through all the centuries, would produce precisely the came wheat grown in that far time. So, to produce a new wheat’ man must come to the aid of Natare, ‘Yo create anew wheat, pollen from one wheat flower is placed on thestigma of another wheat flower in the dawn of an summer morning, the fertilized ‘wheat is incased in a mask of tissue paper to keep away the birds and insects, and in due time, that which na- tare alone could not accomplish has ‘been done—a new wheat has been ad- ded to the plant life of the world. Hun- dreds of new wheats have been created thus at this station. While other hun- dreds also have been found wanting when tested, lacking in some one essen- tial or in many; but ont of the hundreds a few, less than a dozen all told, have een found to be superior to those from which they were bred—better in yield- ing power, stronger to resist disease and and as rich in food qualities. Selection, too, has been an important feature of the work, the choosing of the choicest types for seed and breeding. A Leaf Added to the Clover. Near Amsterdam, in 1886, Prof. De ‘Vries found a plant bearing six or sev- en fonr-leaved clovers. ‘This he set out anew in his garden, where it did not bear seeds until 1889.. These he sowed and since then he has had a new gener- ation each year. Each time he chose hhis seeds from one fourth of the best plants; that is from those which had the most four and five leaved clovers. It ‘was the third generation, however, in 1891, that began to be rich in the desired form of leaves, but only with four and five leaflets, and these only in the adalt plants. Still, during August and Sep- tember of the same year he remarked TLE EREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. @ yery few with seven leaflets. At this point he reduced his selection (or choos ing his seeds frow the best specimens: toasevere standard. That is, he chose for progenitors, only those plants which had two thirds of all its leaves with four or more leaflets. The five-leaved clovers, however, are now the normal product. Professor DeVries has given its seeds for practi. cal experimenting purposes to the pro: fossor of the Minnesota Agricultural College, but as to the results he has not yet heard. Providing that a rich soll and = good culture be main. tained he holds that his five leaved clo- ver will keep constant; that is, it will not go back to the three-leaved variety. Such being the case the cultivation of this new variety should have a high a value over the ordinary clover, not only as “cow grass” but as a more energetic enricher of the soil. FARM NOTES. After the strawberry crop is picked use a lawn mower oyer the bed, so as to cnt down the weeds. It will also be an advantage to cultivate well between the rows. Some of the weeds that cover the field will be eaten off by the sheep if they are given an opportunity to destroy : them. Put the eheep at work at this ae of the year and they will destroy many weed pests. . ~_ Wild carrots should be destroyed late ‘in the summer, before the seeds mature paomnie Being a biennial, the wild carrot gets a firm hold and it is very persistent, propagating itself very rapidly and taking posession of the ‘and. An excellent plan is to dig up ‘the plants and burn them. ~_ There is always something new in weeds. Just when the farmer has con- quered the advance crop, he encounters at this season of the year one of the most persistent of pests—crab grass. It grows very rapidly and on all kinds ofsoil. It ie very easily destroyed when young, but if it gets a start and covers the ground it sometimes happen that the field must be abandoned until the next year. | ‘There isno need of disorderly back yardsin summer time. It is always possible to plok up and make the place clean and if there unsightly objects ot outlooks they may be concealed by ‘quick-growing vines or plants. Morn: ing glories, ricinus or castor bean and ‘the newer golden glow are all good screens. ~ Green millet may be fed as freely &: any green food. Millet hay that con- tains ripe or partly ripened seeds must be fed with care, especially to horses as it has an injurious effect upon the keidneys. Millet is best sown broadoast; adrill puts it in to deeply. Success with millet depends upon getting an even, quick germination, and for this is needed a shallow, finely prepared secd- bed, moist enough and warm enough for germination. ao | Buying a cowis a greater risk than buying a horse yet some farmers who ‘will not trust themselves in judging horses will, when baying, go out and take up fresh cows from anyone who has them for sale. The farmer who ‘will breed for better cows and keep his calves may imagine that {t doesnot pay, but if he will avold baying worthless cows and aim toimprove he will soon discover that he can make a larger profit on fewer cows and also have less labor in so doing. _ Diseases of plants are difficult to pre- vent unless rotation of plants is prac- tised To allow the eame kind of crop twoor more years in succession on & plot of land promotes the increase of insects and spreads diseases of certain plants in the soll. For instance, when a crop of potatoes 1s attacked by disease the land should be given up to some other crop the next year, as the planting of potatoes on land upon which & di- seased crop was grown the previous yaar is the surest mode of propagating the evil. : Items of Interest.

From Youngstown, Ohio. “othe Fabic: In reading a recent issue of The Freeman I was particular: ly impressed by the remarks made by Dr. J. M. Henderson of Philadelphia when he said, “Matters not what we make our business, and expect to earn a living at, let us become proficient, as many of us learn fo half do a thing and allow ourselves to be satisfied.” I remember once reading of an ‘'Ar- tist,” after spending months in com- pleting a design, which was grand, superb and magnificent, that was to be placed in public for inspection in the midst of many others, and when being admired by every person, he remarked “Wm glad I did it weli.” To-day I am a young man in business, but hope to live up to the worde of the artist. About eight years ago I came to Cleveland, ©., where I entered the Caton Business College, and after finish. ing the stenographical course I accepted & position as stenographer with Swasen- berg Bros , a scrap iron firm on Scaroton avenue, remaining with them a few months, and not getting the salary I thought due @ stenographer I resigned to go back to the college and do office work. There I remained until the col- lege ceased to exist, and the manager, my father and friend going to Buffalo, N. Y., 1 had to look for other employ- ment. It was here when I became ac- quainted and ascociated with W. 1 Kenney, who was at that time hoad- waiter in the Hollenden cafe, Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Kenney was born in Wash- ington, D. C., where he had the advan- tage of an ordinary schooling, after which he served us an apprentice at Mithographing for some time, and at the same time devoted his evenings to night school. So, after attaining what ho called a thorough knowledge of the com- mon books, he was off, commonly apeak- ing, and being one of those young men with rambling ideas, was soon doing the summer places same as the majority of the boys who become sight seeing struck. After working in various and different first class hotels throughout the country, had his first experience as an officer at the Palmer honse, Chicago —second waiter under Chas Jorden— where he met F. A. Bropst, who was at that time head clerk in that hotel, and Mr. Bropst beng one of those young aspiring hotel men, with his eye out for something better all the time, soon had the honor of accepting the management of the Hollenden hotel unsolicited, which position he held with a credit that will ever stand for itself ten long years and resigned. Mr. Kenney, feel- ing that Mr. Bropst wonld recognize his application as a business proposition, left Chicago to intercede for the head- waitership of the Hollenden, and the re: sults of his good work at the old Palmer house stood fresh in the new manager's memory, consequently on his arrival in 1891, he was made second waiter in the Hollenden cafe under W. R. Harress, and one year later, Mr. Harress being tired ot the Enropean work, was suc- ceeeed by Mr. Kenney, which position hé did justice until June 1, 1809. ‘Mr. Bropst no longer aspired for the management of @ hotel, but felt that he wanted his name listed among the names of the hotel proprietors, aud with his own successful term as manager, and with the compliment and congratu- lations each and every day by his guests, who were his friends, his wants were oon complied with, and I think to-day, as hotel man, the words spoken of Abraham Lincoln can be applied to him, and no sooner than did he contract for the Hotel Lincoln, Pittsburg, Pa., did he engage Mr. Kenney to take charge of his dining room, and remarked: “Among all the headwaiters I see none £0 fit to stand at my dining room doors end meet the different nationalities that confront you each and every day as W. H. Kenney,” who at once tendered his resignation to the Hollenden and suc- ceeded the white waiters at the Lincoln ‘Tune 1, 1899, and after the expiration of two years it was in this hotel that ‘Messrs. Bropst and Kenney severed their connection, and on that morning Mr. Kenney, being a man that had work- ed 80 much in the interest of his em- ae and had dealt so justly by his men while under his supervision, that each and every waiter felt it their duty ‘to stick to their superior officer, and after a brief discussion by Mr. Bropst and Kenney they separated as friends. It was now May, 1901, and Mr. Went- zel was on the eve of opening a very fine “Casino” at Kenneywood Park, Pittsburg, Pa., and learning that Mr. Kenney was unemployed at once er- gaged him to take the management of it, and when the autumn leaves began tofall he resigned, leaving the casino in charge of his brother to accept his present position, general headwaiter of the Tod house and secretary and treas- urer of the Youngstown Catering Co. It was here that we joined hands again; when seeing that he wasin need of a man to take charge of the European department he sent for me. On enter- ing the town we both immediately die- covered that there was a great demand for 8 “Caterer,” so we at once founded what is known to-day as the “Youngs- town Catering Co.,” for which we do not regret, are doing nicely, and ina few years we expect to have a place, not 80 fine, but cook so good as our cater- ing friend known thronghont the coun- try as C. H. Smiley, Chicago, In conclusion, I am pleased to say that I have always been a lover of good booke, papers and reading of all kind, and when my day’s work has been fin- ished I always resort to something to read that I think will be cf the nfost in- terest to me. I have read all the color. ed papers, and find that I do myself a justice by reading The Freeman, and I think it should be found in the home of every colored family that can possibly get @ copy.

Miles and a party of friends will attend the Afro-American convention, which will be held at St. Paul, Minn., July 9, 1902. ‘The white waiters’ association have brought a great pressure to bear in the last six months to displace the colored walters at the Plankinton, bat they will never succeed as long as the present head- walter is in charge. Mr, Wm, Plankin- ton is well satisfied with the colored walters; not five complaints go to the office in a year from their department, while one can hear complaints from other departments dally. The editor of the Waiters’ Dapartment writes that he has struck {t rich in Texas and that ‘he ison the ground floor in Beanmont, and as he is near the capricorn, he has resigned his position as editor of the Waiters’ Department for the summer. Bro. Cozart, we regret very much to hear that you have resigned as your lectures, which have appeared in The Freeman from time to time, have been @ great benefit to the young waiters, more especially your previous lecture.

E.C. KNOX, Manager, The FREEMAN. A NOTABLE LECTURE. Rev. Worth M. Tippy of the Broadway M. E. church spoke before the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday afternoon. Rev. Tippy is very youthful in appearance when considered in connection with his great work. It has not been very often the privilege of the most favored members of the association to listen to a talk that was so indicative of learning, deep, intense thought, so instructive. He was direct in his language, not wasting much on flowers of speech, but at times he was as interesting as a well performed drama. He thought the association an important movement among colored people of the city; a good movement for the race. He felt that, at this time, there was brewing a sort of conspiracy to put the colored man at a disadvantage and that the colored man had to take steps to counteract the tendency. An imposing Y. M. C. A. building would be no mean step in that direction; do great things along all lines and become so that you will be a necessity from a commercial standpoint and thus preserve yourselves. Intrench yourselves for the coming test. Be the best; the best will command respect. He felt that the association in time, if courageous, thus calling attention to its tenacity and accomplishments, would be assisted by men of means who will spend their money in the proper direction—for a worthy cause. At this point Rev. Tippy called attention to the restlessness of the forces of nature; the wind, the waves, the heaving of volcanoes, the ocean currents, even to those more solid substances; granite, stone that had their atomio and molecular disturbances and obeyed their laws of affinity, cohesion, etc., etc. But, man is no longer afraid of these forces; he has learned to use them to do his bidding Electricity is harnessed and docile to the will of man. The ancient mariner doubted the angry seas and plied his vocation along the shores, but to-day he joins in his opportunity to brave old Neptune, laughing at rock and wave—fairly courting disaster. These physical forces, properly controlled, are man's agencies in making him what he was destined to be from beginning. These forces toil for man—its God's toil—His right arm—the beneficent forces for man's conservation and well being on earth. The speaker spoke of gravitation as a mighty force—the law of attraction—the compelling and controlling force of the spheres. It is to be compared with that moral force—love, upon which the perpetuity of human society depends; it brings hope and cheer into the world, and without which it would be better for man that he never had existed. As the physical forces, rightfully employed, redoubles to man's good, so likewise the moral forces. Love, hate, joy, sorrow, hope, pride, ambition, all are moral forces that, when properly stimulated, THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. and when properly subdued, are man's conserving agencies in his moral realm and religious sphere. The speaker would not fall out with man on account of his pride, but rather encouraged it. It is a moral agent for the upliftment of man, but should not be pursued to the verge of vanity. The sexual instinct, he avowed, was strong in the human family, but it was planted there by God, and hence had its proper functions. The proper use and not the abuse is what we are to contend for. Man need not be ashamed that he is thus endowed, but he ought to be ashamed if he allows the animal to master the intellect. Matter is a subject of the mind along the entire route of nature. The flesh must be forced into obedience that it performs the functions ordained of the heavenly Father. Mankind errs, or some men err when they insist that the instinct was equally strong in either race and have committed excesses based on the theory Womankind is on the defensive sometimes from policy, but generally from instinct. Hers is the maternal instinct that looks forward to the establishment of the legalized home, says the speaker, and not that of the debaucheeas is more forceful in the man. The instinct is to sanctify the home. We digress here long enough to say that the speaker did not want for attention while discussing this phase of his subject. It was new to most of them there, to have a plain, manly, face to face talk on a theme that stands foremost in creating the world's troubles, and which at the same time is the least considered from high places. Timorous man—he flees from the subject as from a pestilence. Christ himself took note of it when He said, "Woman, where is thine accuser?" Why? Was it but a parable? Why? And He wrote upon the sand; what? Along with the virtues and the beatitudes, vice, crime and death was born into the world. 'Tis a pity, but 'tis true that the thousands of the unborn will reap the criminals reward as though fate had fixed it so. Yon rearing, prison house were gaps and yawns for the unborn man—its certain inmate—as though it were the channel house. Yet crime, moral death, suffering can be greatly reduced, and especially among our race, which has not as yet learned to attach that awfulness to moral dissipation that society requires. It is no light subject, and he or she makes a mistake that treats it in that way. It is not a matter of daily conversation, society gossip or small talk that is so prevalent. Our pulpit is tardy on such themes because the themes are not expected. A few Rev. Tippys and the scandal doors and the scandal mongers will cease to exist, or at least they will be respectful if not virtuous, and at this time they are neither. It will be believed that, after all, the people love sincerely even to their hurt, but it must be sincerity of the proper stamp, and though the words of those be as a double edged sword, they will be better endured than those of fawning hypocrites that have no virtue and hence cannot inspire its preservation. "The Leopard's Spots" is a book by a Southern white minister, which has been sent to Rev. Tippy to be reviewed. It sees no hope for the race, which is considered thoroughly morally bad. The author hopes that those in whose hands it falls will give the race a wide berth as an unregenerate lot who are beyond the pale of moral redemption. Rev. Tippy will not see it that way, but has hopes that the light will yet break in on the Negro race, so that they may analyze their own case; not the few, but the many. He, like thousands of others, loathe to give up the struggle—more interested in them than man—are in themselves. The speaker made a beautiful moral point, and one in favor of the intelligence over the will, or the subjection of matter to the mind, when he said that willing to do is not the signal of salvation, and if men depended on the freedom of the will they would be lost. Man cannot break off his habitual conduct at once, but that he can avoid temptation through the agency of the intelligence, which directs the movements of the physical being. Man may consider himself strong, animally strong, but it is simply the spiritual force, the mind exercising its proper sphere as the dominant force of the human body, either supporting the will by its strategy or by coalition. The mind suggests substitutes for the practices of the past; formerly a saloon, now a Y. M. C. A. or the church. Evil association gives away in behalf of better companions; hence a new life, newer ideas. Therefore the cultivation of the intelligence is essential. His very beautiful allusion to the Holy Grail was timely and fitting. Do the simple things in His name; where it is deserving and needed; nor chase the world over for a dream, when your salvation rests in giving a cup of cold water at your door. Do your present duty well. And as in the language of Booker T. Washington, "Let down your buckets where you are." No storied urns or animated busts, nor traversing the hot sand in quest of the Holy Grail He closed with the scene of a ship at sea in a storm, showing how imprudent it would be for those who managed the vessel to forsake their posts in the very time of need. They must be courageous unto the last, unto death if necessary; for no reason must those guiding give up the ship, and by and by all will anchor safely in the harbor where praises can be given, tears shed over the safe voyage. MISS LEE IN A "JIM OROW" CAR Miss Mary Curtis Lee, daughter of the late Gen. Robert E. Lee, has been riding in a "Jim Crow" car. It is significant from two standpoints, which make the event stand out signal and conspicuous. "Jim Crow" cars stand for civil despair in America in that the cars are separate coaches or compartments set apart for Negroes out of respect for a class of whites who do not as yet take kindly to anything that may have a tendency to bring the races together in a social way. The debasement does not come from that fact alone, however, but is as much due to the horror the Negroes have for the cars as anything else. It is not the intention to argue the legality of laws that set aside separate institutions for colored people, for that is another question altogether and which constitutes a part of the great race question. It may be believed that the Negroes stand too much in awe of separate institutions as such, proving the lack of mutual respect more than it does the opposition to the existing order of things. It may yet be believed that if the separate institutions were ennobled by nobly enduring there world in a much shorter time be no necessity for their existence, since those that act nobly are noble and nobility is tolerated. On the other hand the event is significant because Miss Lee is a scion of ultra aristocracy of the South, the daughter of one of the most consummate military strategist and able generals of modern times, a West Pointer. She is also the grand daughter of 'Light Horse Harry Lee" of Revolutionary war fame and Governor of Virginia, therefore the best representative of the other extreme. She simply made a mistake in entering the 'Jim Crow' division as the law does not apply in Washington as it does in Virginia, the route she was traveling. It is a pity that it cannot be written; premeditated—conscious contribution to the racial situation of to-day, with the intention of making restitution to humanity that which was withdrawn from it by those of her lineage and race that did so much to complex racial affairs in America. But, if it be only an unconscious contribution, it has done much in removing the odium attached to "Jim Crowism." This much is known; she refused to move after she had been informed of the situation. The persistency was not due to ignorance; she knew the law then if not before. In this persistency she has preached a sermon to all of the people, black or white. To the blacks; be ye exalted, lifted up. To the whites; behold in me the best type of our kind, of the noblest ancestry—this—this—in the interest of moderation, peace; thus do I brave the terrors of the prison house—my conscious contribution. Will the colored people see an omen in it all? Let us create one of our own imagination rather than not benefit by the act. The "Jim Crow" car has lost its terrors through the consciences or unconscious act of Mrs. Lee who may well represent her class Not "Jim Crow" cars alone, but all institutions maintained for colored people. They are to be endured, and often times rightfully so, as the probationary period is not new in the affairs of men. They are not vile always Miss Lee did not find it so, but they are a part of the race problem. The Pine Bluff Weekly Post of Arkansas has shied its castor into the journalistic arena. In its salutatory it tells the whereofs and wherefores as to its existence. It says it will not be hampered by political cliques nor dominated by religious sects, but that it shall be a forum for the discussion of thought that seeks to elevate the people. May its purposes never become over ripe. The press, it may be presumed, will extend the newcomer the right hand of fellowship and bid it bon voyage on its ambitions career. What the future may have in store for it will simply be a part of its experience, without which it would not prove the hardy creature that it wills to be in order to buffet the billowy waves of the journalistic sea. The thirty-seventh anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation was celebrated in San Antonio, Tex., June 19th and 20th. The program consisted of a parade, the conspicuous features of which were floats that depicted the progress of Negro life, also many clubs and other organizations took part, which made the day memorable. Speech making by prominent orators was also a part of the program Henry A. Boyd, the president of the movement, deserves much credit for the successful conduct of the affair, which was out of the ordinary. One Southern girl refuses to sing Marching Through Georgia, another one rides in the "Jim Crow" car." Honors even so far. We are forced to admit that the colored people of Indianapolis, the rougher element, are leading a too strenuous life. We are opposed to it, not only from a moral standpoint, but because it is simply brewing trouble. Two weeks ago it was Decatur, now we have trouble at French Lick, Ind. The colored people have been warned to leave that place. It may be sheer deviltry on the part of the whites, but it hardly appears reasonable. It is very likely that the proprieties are being invaded, and it is not too much to say that the proprieties are known. The Colored American suggests the following persons as well fitted for the Freedom Inquiry Commission: Booker T. Washington, Jesse Lawson, Daniel Murray, P. B S. Pinchback, T. Thomas Fortune, W. E. B. D.Bois, E. E. Cooper, A. F. Hilyer, George White, Kelly Miller, L. M. Hershaw, W. D. Johnson and W. A. Pledger. They are all right, but there others. Give us a few names from the Middle West; just a few to make merry over. What's the matter with Indiana? Color prejudice is everywhere on this earth and perhaps on Mars and Jupiter. The admission of the fact does not make it right, but it ought to prevent Negro editors and speakers from insisting that it is peculiarly American. The Guardian of Boston says that color prejudice was not known in Cuba until the white Americans introduced it. If there was no prejudice there it was because there were no white men there. That proposition is axiomatic, so you had better run back and sit down. We are afraid that the words of Bishop Walters, a few days ago, in Chicago will be misconstrued. If reported correctly he insists that the Negroes fight their opposers. It is the natural thing for a man to protect his home to the very last, but any extra advice will certainly be considered in flamatory. Let us hope the bishop was misquoted. His prominence lend weight to his words that do not attach to the words of others. The Guardian of Boston calls Booker T. Washington a "Miserable Toady." Freedom is not liscense even in the liberty loving atmosphere of "Bosting!" Dye heah? We can call our great men meaner names than we dare call our villians. Let the Guardian call one of the slums such a name and it would get its head punched instanter if not sooner. This week we are informed that the Negroes are instructed to leave French Lick, Ind. We are getting madder every day; but, honestly, are we getting morally better? If morally better, and the tide continues against us, we had better pack up and get away from here; but are we morally better? The colored people of Indiana and of all the States are entitled to the protection of the laws of those States. They have also a right to be governed by the conventionalities of communities, and further yet, by the dominant sentiment. It does not take very long to ascertain what those are. Rev. Tippy says that the Negroes become financially intrenched in order to be of commercial importance to the country. He is right. This is strictly an age of commercialism. It is the Booker T. Washington theory; get what the white man wants and you will not be despised. Dr. D. W. Sherwood of Macon, Miss., not St. Louis, Mo., as The Freeman had last week, has been endorsed by the Mexico Clirugical Association of the State of Mississippi for the position of commissioner of the colored department of the State exhibit at St. Louis in 1904. President Roosevelt declared himself against lynching. There are those who criticise him because he chose Decoration day to do so; but better the day better the deed: Any day is a great day to speak against disorders and lawlessness. Problems cannot be worked out based on untruths. Color prejudice is in England, in Canada, in Africa, and more than enough of it right among the variegated race itself; that the dear Lord knows. The Freeman appreciates the invitation to attend the ceremony of the ordination of J. Harry Dorsey to the Holy Priesthood at the Cathedral of Baltimore, Saturday, June 21, at 7 o'clock a.m. We are leading a very strenuous life, just now, in this city. Murdering, policy playing and orap shooting is all the rage. What's to be done about it? The colored people must get more conventional; drop pecularities and distinct racial traits. They are hurtful. Mr. Smith, in the contest for joint senator from Morgan and Marlon counties, got the cheese. Wednesday. Joseph Bailey has gone to Hot Springs for his health. Dr. O. D.

The Union Sunday School picnic was well attended. Rev. Donaldson filled his pulpit in Sparta last Sunday. A colored lineman for the electric light company had his ankle broken by a pole breaking off and throwing him to the ground. Rev. Wallace Hancock has moved his family to Carbondale. Mrs. Fannie Duncan has opened a confectionery stand with John Allen as clerk. When you need anything in the barber line call on Earnest Hamilton. The Knights and Daughters of Tabernacle had their sermon preached last Sunday and made a good appearance. The District conference will convene here next week. The Freeman is growing rapidly in this community. Wedding in High Life. Hot Springs, Ark., Special.—Dr. P. W. Walls, pastor of Visitors' Chapel A. M.

Cornwell preached the annual thanksgiving sermon to the International Order of Twelve, known as the Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor, at Cotrell Chapel C. M. E. church. Miss Julia P. Harris died on the 7th inst., and the funeral took place on the 8th at PRESIDENT Feel your pulse a few minutes. Is it regular? Are you short of breath, after slight exertion as going up stairs, sweeping, walking, etc? Do you have pain in left breast, side or between shoulder blades, choking sensations, fainting or smothering spells, inability to lie on left side? If you have any of these symptoms you certainly have a weak heart, and should immediately take. Mr. F. H. Oaks of Jamestown, N.Y., whose genial face appears above, says. "Duxcise use of tobacco seriously aides about the heart, and in the left shoulder and side; while the palpation would awaken me from my sleep. I began taking Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and soon found permanent relief." Sold by all Druggists. Dr. Miles-Medical Co., Elkart, Ind. Haven's Chapel M. E. church, Rev. Sherrell, officiating.

Where Oh where, is Oscar, (gentleman) Linsay and Pop, (rheumatic) Smith? Bateon and Millar appeared to an audience of over 5000 in Sam Jones Tabernacle in Nashville and demonstrated the fact that they are bread winners as of yore. Gerard is taking a medical course and in 1903 will graduate as a full fledged M. D. My advice to the profession is look forward to the time when hard work, booze and big head will inform you of the vacant seat in the rear; because when the dancer fails to dance; the comedian fails to comede; the soprano fails to make the high and the basso, the low, in the estimation of managers, friends and foes, your stock will go down a thousand leagues. The chances are if you work well you may? get a hearing, but if your "word" and "work" cannot be relied upon you will certainly get a "ieering." My experience with the public of this and the old country has been of the kind that would cause better heads than are in my family to have enlarged but amid all the hands and press comments, I have ever felt my own lack of knowing half as much as I ought to know. This has made me approach the footlights with fear and trembling but with all my many characters I thank God I have yet to play the traitor. ```markdown ``` Notes from P. G. Lowery's Vaudeville company and Concert Band:—Prentis Oliver sends regards to Charlie Williams and says he would like to hear from him. The Four-in-hand quartette are doing nicely. Ambrose Davis, stage manager deserves great credit for the arrangement of the vaudeville show. We met the Hays Troubadours, June 13 at Holy Oak, Mass. The two companies had a pleasant visit together. They have undoubtedly the strongest show of its kind on the road headed by Tom Brown and Sherman Dudley supported by some of the best talent in the profession. P. G. conducted the tronbadours through the large menagerie. Henry Lee, the candy butcher is saving his money to buy a circus. WAITERS AND PORTERS John Steward, Allen McClelland, Dennis Lowery and the ever popular Sug send regards to all friends. Capt. Archie of cook house No. 1 has made great improvement among the boys in the last few days. Seymour Payne met with an accident the other day but is improving rapidly. Joe Hill has been on the sick list for the past week. Harl Johnson is still holding his own as being the leading waiter of cook house No. 1. Ernest Baker is still holding his own on the "freak" table. Harry bell is improving every day. In a letter to Mr. Tom Logan, Charlie Pope, who left America some years ago, with the Hlecks & Sawyers Minstrels says:—I am yet in the Antipodes, doing nicely and were it not for business reasons would remain in this country a few years longer. There are so many advantages to be considered that I am convinced that the progressive Negro performer makes no mistake in choosing a field where his talent is appreciated and in demand. The recent, "White Rats" movement thoroughly upholds me in this theory and as it appears to me; their prime object is to eliminate the Negro from the stage it is reasonable to presume that unless the representative Negroes can nourish and keep is demand the services of the Negro professional, they must go where their talent is desired, or seek employment along other lines. The Negro performer is welcomed and appreciated in foreign countries and it is to this fact I base my conclusions. I am touring New Zealand with Dix's Gaiety Co., and at the conclusion of my present twelve month's contract I propose to come to America for the purpose of settling up my affairs and as a matter of fact will come back to fill a new contract of fifty-two weeks, the papers for which will be submitted to me June 30. This will serve to transmit my regards to Tom Logan, Ernest Hogan, Billy McClain and other friends of long ago. Will spend Christmas in New York City. Of the things most eagerly looked for upon the arrival of the American mail are The Clipper and the Freeman. My Address is Auckland N. Z., care of Dix's Gaiety Co. --- Notes from the Famous Georgia Minstrels.—We have just finished another week of good business in Wisconsin although it has been quite rainy all the week. We met with a grand re-union of old soldiers at Rhinelander, Wis. and they were completely elated over Prof. G. W. Housely's band. Our success here was such that we were sorry to leave immediately after the show. Aunt Nancy's Wedding is still the one act with the show, giving the stage hands and orchestra as much laughter as the audience. The act is a screamer and each member of the act—Dick Thomas, Kid Langford, Oscar Cameron and Dave Smith—seems especially adapted to their parts. Wm. A. Dixon, tenor soloist, joined at Grand Rapids Wis., and is proving a valuable addition to the show and choruses. Ed. Tolliver is still holding the audiences with perfect ease, nightly. J. W. Cooper is still mystifying the audiences with his wonderful one-legged walking and talking figures. The Houseleys have never stopped adding to their act and we think they have at last got where they stand alone and without a peer, in their line. Simon Bonomore's Arabs close the show with their cyclone act that has no equal. --- LINGO OF THE CIRCUS Circus people talk a jargon that would be unintelligible to the uninitiated. To those in circus life the manager or head of any enterprise is always "the main guy," while those in subordinate positions are simply "guya." The tents are called "tops" by the circus men and they are subdivided into the "big top," the "animal top," the "kid top," the "candy top," and so on. The side show where the Circassian girls, fat women and other curiosities known as "frieks" are shown is termed the "kid show" and the man with the persuasive voice who seeks to entice people to enter is known as a "barker" or a "spleler," says the Detroit Free Press. The men who sell peanuts, red lemonade, palm leaf fans and concert tickets are called "butchers" while that class of circus followers whose methods are outside the pale of the law are "guns" or "grafters." To get a persons money without giving them an equivalent is to "turn them." A countryman is either a "rube" or a "yap." The musicians with a circus are known as "wind jammers;" the train men the canvass men and other laborers are "razorbacks." The distance from one town to another is always known as a "jump." The show ground is called the "lot," and the dining tent where the chronic people get their meals is called the :camp." An acrobat is known as a "kinker" and all things used in the ring, such as banners, hoops and the like are "objects." Those who lie on their backs and juggle children on their feet are "Risley's" and if other objects are balanced on their feet they are called "barrel kickers." Money is referred to as "coin" or "cush" and when one pays the salaries, is either "the ghost" or "the man in white." A trunk is called a "keester" and a vallse a "turkey." To get away quick is to do a "vamp," and of those who are forced to leave they say "got the hurry." Those who have been long in the business are "old landmarks," and a new addition to the profession is either a "but in" or a "Johnnie Newcomber." Food is called "chuck" and they say an intoxicated person is "soused." A fight is a "scorp" but any trouble that cannot be handled by the regular officers is a mix up" and a whistle is blown, at the sound of which each employee grabs a stake or other handy weapon and yells "Hey Rube," which is the call to arms. A proposed victim is known as a "sucker" to the confidence men who follow a circus and "fanning a guy" is to make sure he has no weapon on him before they take his money. To frisk a train is to arm a lot of husky employees with stakes and search the train for "crooks" and "sure thing men. There is no chance for argument at this time. If you see one of these worthies leaving and ask him where he is bound and he will generally say "To the tall and uncut." --- J. Harry Jackson sends the following from New York: "A Trip to the Jungles" headed by Larkins & Patterson left the city last Saturday for Greenville, Mass., where they opened their season Monday. Among those with the company are Sam Cousins, Wm. Thomas Anthony Byrd, Louis H.

Mr. Perrin is now located at Albany N. Y. where he has been engaged to put on a show for the summer at Weber's Palm Garden, Lagoon Island. Mr. Perrin has just finished the lyrics of an operatic farce entitled "Coons in Paradise" in which quite a number of original choruses and songs are introduced. J. Ed. Green is now at work on the liberetta of the opera and no doubt it will be produced the coming season by some of the big companies. — Lessile Triplett has been re-engaged by the Black Patti Troubadours to play leading comedy with the "Prince of comadians" — John Rucker. — Prof. Ike Randolph left Monday for Albany to fill an engagement of three month's duration. — Bobdy Kemp, of the Wang-doodle Comedy Four will be with the Black Patti Troubadours, the coming season. — The ever popular Al Brown is still in charge of the music room of the Newport Cafe.

The following is an excerpt from the Los Angeles Herald, (the Negro hater):— Hen Wise and Katie Milton, in a clever sketch, comic of course, brought forth a fresh burst of applause. Wise knows how to act and can "do" the Irishman, Hebrew, or almost any other part to the point of making the audience laugh until they "burst off all their buttons and they fall upon the floor." Katie Milton is a pretty dancer, very graceful in her movements, thoroughly understanding the use of her feet. MANAGERS BEWARE! JOHN W. DENNIS of Houston.Tex.. who has no principle.

Some of the leading white journals admit that we are making more progress in point of education than the dominant class. This admission leads to but one conclusion which is decidedly in favor of the colored people and against the whites. We have everything to win if we continue to educate. 000 The four new Negro enterprises established at Nashville, Tenn., which if properly patronized by the Negroes of that city, will employ one hundred Negro boys and girls, viz., millinery, a laundry, a hair and an undertaker's establishment. The National Afro-American Council, which meets in St. Paul, Minn.. July 9th, promises to be of more importance than any previous meeting of this body. 000 Senator Tillman said at a public meeting in South Carolina a few days ago: "The new constitution adopted in 1895 has eliminated for the present the Negro majority. But the number eligible to vote is constantly increasing." Here we have the admission of one of the worst Negro haters in the South that they are steadily advancing in educational qualifications for citizenship. Bishop C. T. Shaffer, who has returned from Africa, reports that his trip was a pleasant one. He was received cordially. The bishop admits that he found some things as he expected to find them and some to the contrary. He says it will take time, money and men of energy to establish prosperity in that country. The bishop is looking the picture of health and his constituents are all glad to see him again. 000 The present condition of the American Negro needs the aid of all the race's best thinkers and workers are one or the other? If either act. 000 Nearly all of the West Virginia miners are Negroes; they will not join the present strikers of the eastern coal field. They receive fair wages and seem to be satisfied. IN SCHOOL DAYS. Still sits the schoolhouse by the road, a ragged beggar sunning; Around it still the smashs grow, And blackberry vines are running. Within the master's desk is seen Deep-scarred by raps official; The warping floor, the battered seats, The jack-knife's carved initial. The charcoal frescoes on its wall; its door's worn sill, betraying The feet that. creeping slow to school, Went storming out to playing. It touched the tangled golden curls And brown eyes full of grieving Of one who still her steps delayed When all the school were leaving. For near her stood the little boy Her childish favor singled; His cap pulled low upon a face Where pride and shame were mingled. Pushing with restless feet the snow To right and left, he lingered— As restlessly her tiny hands The blue-checked apron fingered. He saw her lift her eyes; he felt The soft hand's light caressing, And heard the tremble of her voice. As if a fault confessing. "I'm sorry that I spelt the word: I hate to go above you. "Because"—the brown eyes lower fell— "Because, you see, I love you!" Still memory to a gray-haired man That sweet child-face is showing. Dear girl! the grasses on her grave Have forty years been growing! He lives to learn, in life's hard school, How few you pass above him Lament their triumph and his loss, Like her—because they love him. —John G. Whittier. Spicy. Sparkling Splashes.
