NUMBER 29. MANTLE OF CHARITY THROWN UPON THE SHOULDERS OF VENERABLE DR. LEAK. JONES HARPOONS HENDERSON Henderson Sheds Tears and Officiates over the Remains of the Victim he Helps to Officially Slay—The “Incident Closed” a Funny Joke. EDITOR FREEMAN: —Newspaper writers very often say many things that were better if left unsaid. I do not say that I myself, am free from this criticism. But I am at once slightly amused and confounded at the appearance of a letter in a recent issue of the Freeman titled, “The Incident is Closed.” I am reminded of a man shedding tears over, and officiating at the burial of the remains of another man whom he has helped to kill. The author sets out to state some "bare facts" leading up to the death of the victim (Dr. Leak) but before he proceeds very far, he breaks down in tears and pronounces the obituary; but tells us nothing. Of course that was the wisest and most charitable act. The reading public knows that the author of that article was the first to strike a blow that led to the official death of the old North Carolina hero. He said that some "high authority" told him to do it. Most all assassins of high officials are the tools in the hands of the others. The appointment of Dr. Leak's successor, being a native of North Carolina, will never atone for the official death of Leak. That is all child's talk. The author says that "Dr. Leak has spoken in his own defense, and that too with much effect." Is that true? When and to whom did Dr. Leak speak? His case was aired in. Did he make his defense before the same tribunal? If not, then he has not been heard. In fact, the court of public opinion has been waiting to hear from him. Dr. Henderson, the author, says that "What Dr. J. A. Jones has been saying is his own talk and has no relation of any kind to the actual facts." Dr. Henderson confesses all along that what he is saying are not his own "sayings," but that he is being used by others. I rather pride myself in the fact that my "sayings" are mine. I opposed, in my first letter, the "washing of our dirty linen" in the secular press. I thought if there was any dirt we might clean it off in our own back yard. But, no, nothing would do but a shaking of the offensive sheet in the face of the public. I contend that a case is not settled unless settled in the court in which it is tried, and that Dr. Henderson's mantle of charity racket, with its fringe of "finis," does not settle it and cannot settle it. Now I oppose, at this late day, Dr. Henderson's putting words in Dr. Leak's mouth and at the same time attempting to shift the responsibility of alleged crookedness on to Dr. Giles. Dr. Henderson says that "Dr. Giles has not yet spoken and his silence is regarded in various ways." Does Dr. Henderson mean to slay another victim? It seems to me that this thing ought to stop somewhere. I want no man to kill me and then weep over my grave. Dr. Giles has spoken, Henderson's statement to the contrary notwithstanding. Dr. Leak was manager of the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the church, and if he has made a public statement through its columns, I missed that issue, and my paper comes regularly. I have said in another paper that I believed that Dr. Leak will speak by and by. I believe now that when the old lion rises and roars he will wake the natives. "The guilt now seems to have been largely shifted," says the good doctor, in his effort to criminate Dr. Giles. And then says "if he (Leak) has been a victim of false friends he will yet come out all right." If Giles is culpable, why not say so? Why should Leak be made to suffer as a defaulter for another man's sins? If Giles is not guilty, these insinuating things ought not be said. Dr. Leak was truly the official head of the Book Concern, but he could not be held responsible for what some employee did, any more than the president of a bank is chargeable for the stealing of the cashier. Shifting the guilt indeed! Why was not that done before Leak was slain? And now talk about Leak "coming out all right" it case it is discovered that he was the victim of false friends. Will Dr. Henderson tell us whose job it is to make this discovery now, since DR. JOSEPH H. WARD. “the incident is closed?” “The curtain has dropped,” so he says. Who is to raise them again? Who is the stage manager? After all, was not the whole play a bungleseason affair, and did it not wind up with a force? Is not Dr. Henderson's "incident closed" a huge joke itself? My "own talk" along this line has ever been for fair play. I have said emphatically that I consider Dr. Leak's election a mistake, but never at any time have I insinuated as to Leak's dishonesty. I believe that Bishop Derrick did the proper thing in protecting his board; I believe he acted from a conscientious standpoint; I believe he dealt with the matter fairly according to the facts as presented to him. I think he deserves the congratulations of the church; but I am not by myself when I say that Dr. Leak was not the biggest rascal that ever held a general office in the connection. And not the only one that ought to have been driven out of office before the expiration of his term. I may not know what I am talking about, but I am as earnest about it as any man that ever handled a pen. J. A. JONES. Pulaski, Tenn. Hat Contest Given. Muncie, Ind., Special—The trustees of the A. M.

Ward has gone to New York, where he will take a post graduate course in the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College of that city. The doctor has been enjoying a lucrative practice at home, but he deserves to be among the leaders in his chosen profession. With this object in view he has put aside the immediate profits and honors that attend him until he merits further distinction by PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY--SIX MONTHS, 850; ONE YEAR, $1.50 serving in the very excellent school of practice which he will attend. Dr. Ward is already a graduate of two schools, graduating from the Physiological College in 1897, after which he practiced for three years, then he entered the Indiana Medical College of the University of Indianapolis, finishing in 1900. Society Dr. Ward is very much in evidence in his home. The New Yorkers will find him thoroughly conversant on society affairs. He also knows a coillion from a Virginia Reel. As a musician he is a singer and is not a stranger to the violin. In fact the doctor is what is called a versatile man. He has been slightly smitten by the glamour of politics, but he has consented to repudiate that ambition, at least for the time being. It was only last spring when his friend threatened to bring him out for the legislature, and had he been more tractable they would have succeeded. But he has only temporarily suppressed his political ambition, it is suspected. The doctor does not forget to pray because he dances. He has been one of the leaders of the young men's prayer band of this city, which has recently merged into a Y. M. C. A. His good qualities of heart, of head and skill of hand has fixed him a sure niche in the affections of the people. Public Library 1 02 DR. JONES IN ERROR HIS STATEMENTS ARE CANDID BUT ARE FAR-FETCHED. DOCTOR LEAK IS A DEAD ISSUE! Dr. Chappelle is Responsible for the Statement that the Next General Conferences will Divest Bishops of their Ecclesiastical Robes. EDITOR FREEMAN:—There are many assertions and suggestions in the article of Dr. J. A. Jones, June 28th, which are incorrect, but the spirit in which he writes is so evidently candid that it attracts more attention than do the errors. Dr. Jones is young at the business and does not yet understand how essential it is to be absolutely sure of the correctness of an assertion before allowing it to go in print. He is unsophisticated and accepts many things on the bare statement of interested parties and is thus often lead to give to the public assertions that would not stand close investigation and come out whole. But these faults are due to inexperience and he is evidently sincere in spirit even if often wrong in words. I will not now undertake to point out the errors in the article referred to as they are of little practical importance one way or the other. There is no use of discussing poor Dr. Leak; he is a dead issue, and his coming to life would only mean the necessity of Dr. Collett, secretary of the Publication Board, giving to the church and the public the facts. No true friend of Leak would do anything to make such a cruel thing possible. Having saved the Book Concern, now all are willing to also try to save poor Leak. He and his friends will be responsible for any further revelation concerning his ill-fated career as manager. Dr. Jones did not correctly understand the conversations he heard while at Wilberforce, and though some of the things said were intended for publication, he made a grand mistake and exposed his over confident friends to publicity that they did not anticipate nor desire. The part of Dr. Jones' article that is good is the spirit. He is not a sycophant but is willing to give honest expression to his views. That is an excellent spirit, but he should also take care that his views are correct. There are evil measures, methods and men who need to be discussed before the public, but no mistakes should ever be made in such matters and nothing either inaccurate or uncalled for should ever be said. Every one knows how nearly Dr. J. A. Davis came to be the successor of Dr. C. S. Smith, and all understand that he stood aside to further the interests of Dr. Tyree. There are none who have said that they think that Dr. Davis will not put in his claim next time. Indeed Bishop Smith and others have even intimated that he would, Dr. Jones is not experienced or he would not allow himself to be arrayed against the leaders of his own district. The election of Chappelle was an accident that could not have happened on an ordinary day. It may be a fortunate accident or an unfortunate one, the whole church waits to see and may wait with suspended breathing. It is said that Chappelle and his friends have announced that at the next general conference four vacancies on the bench of bishops will be made by retiring two and by unrocking two. A general officer is authority for the statement, which may be correct and which may not be. The same general officer is known to be a tell-tale and to trot from conference to conference with grannie tales, and I do not hold him as very high authority. Chappelle would scarcely undertake to set aside four bishops at one inning. He has more sense than some give him credit for having. Some of his friends are doing him injury by magnifying his incautious utterances. Everyone who understands such things knows that secretly Chappelle is a candidate for the Episcopate and that he will try to prevent the election of any bishops this time in order to make it possible for him to be first at the gate next time. The next general conference will likely accept the advice of Bishop Smith and divide the island work among the various districts; if so, no more bishops will be needed unless vacancies are made on the present (CONTINUED ON FOURTH PAGE) THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.

The attendance at Straight University has increased over thirty per cent. in the last two years. The number of students attending the school is better than the average, and the influence surrounding the pupils elevating and helpful. Of the students last session about one hundred were boarders at the school. They came from all parts of the South. They are Catholic and Protestant and the latter from Methodist, Baptist and Congregational families. Their religions preferences are not intermingled. The school is not a school of woodworking. This is another reason why Straight is popular. We try to train them to be honest, upright men and women, to fit them to be useful citizens. The school is open to all but the boarding department does not receive young children. The primary school occupies a separate school building. The grammar school consists of grades 1 to 6, inclusive of those these are formed. The school is a woodworking school.

They cured so many men who had battled for years against the mental and physical suffering of lost manhood that the Institute has decided to distribute free trial packages to all who write. It is a home treatment and all men who suffer with any form of sexual weakness resulting from youthful folly, premature loss of strength and memory, weak back, varicococle, or emaciation of parts can now cure themselves at home. The remedy has a peculiarly grateful effect of warmth and seems to act to direct the desired location giving strength and development just where it is needed. It cures all the ills and troubles that come from years of misuse of the natural functions and has been an absolute success in all cases. A request to the State Medical Institute 1614 Elektron Building Ft. Wayne, Ind, stating you desire one of their free trial packages will be compiled with promptly.

Washington, D. C. FARM AND HOME Concerning Butter Making. When cream is separated from milk the fat globules come to the surface by gravity or are thrown off by centrifugal process. When cream is churned, two of them will stick together, then three, then four and then one dozen until finally those little globules each about one fifth of a thousandth part of an inch in diameter gradually stick to gether and become large enough to see. They are very small yet, not large enough to make butter from without waste. So we keep on churning until more united, and when these get large enough so that we can readily draw off the buttermilk when they are about the size of No. 8 shot, the work has been carried far enough. If we let them get larger than this they will lock up a certain amount of milk serum and that will have to be separated again in order to free them from the buttermilk. To stop the work when they are just the right size depends on the skill of the buttermaker. It's simple matter when you know how to do it. We do our work on this way. We churn at such a temperature that we can form these granules in from forty to sixty minutes. I cannot tell you what the temperature is. From Holstein milk, Aryshire milk and the milk from many individual cows, the butter comes quicker than from Guernsey or Jersey milk and other milk in the fat in the milk of the Holstein and some of the other breeds is soft, while in that of our butter breeds it is hard. Differ. ent foods have an effect on the fat. Cotton seed meal gives us a hard, and corn meal a soft fat. The rule is to experiment and find out at what temperature it is necessary to churn to have the butter come right and come within from forty to sixty minutes. Having determined that you have the right temperature. Then, do not have the cream too thick. I would not have the cream contain more than 25 percent of the fat in order to have it in the best condition for securing granules. If it is thicker there is not liquid enough for the fat globules to float about and have room to form and finish. Thirty-five percent cream is too rich. The little globules are so close to gether that in agitating the churn they are liable to attach themselves and become large and of different sizes. We want bath enough for them to float about in. It is perfectly safe to use the cream from the gravity can, as it will not contain 25 per cent of fat, but do not make the cream from the separator too rich or it will be too dense for finishing the globules in best form. At 15 per cent it is rather thin but Indianapolis Regalia Co., Manufacturers of all GE REGALIA Rs and Costumes, and Theatrical Costumes MADE TO ORDER. Roles.

At 39 per cent good granules are formed but it requires more care. If we find that 60 degrees is the right temperature we use that. If it is Holstein milk we may have to churn at 55 degrees or a little above fifty, especially if the cows are fed on corn meal or silage. If we are using cream from Jersey cows that have been fed on considerable cotton seed meal, we sometimes have to churn up to seventy in order to get the butter to come right When the granules begin to appear look into your churn, and if you are a novice you will look quite often. As you continue to churn you will gradually become accustomed to the business sap know about how much churning to give it each time. Sometimes the granules will grow in size very rapidly as specially if the temperature is a little high, or the fat a little soft. The Squash Bug. The squash bug, like nearly all insects is attacked by parasitic flies. The squash bug secretes an odor which repels toads to a certain extent, hence the toad will consume them only when very hungry. The bug is also subject to some fungus disease which has not been identified, but it has not been seriously damaged theremor The most dangerous attack by the bugs is that made upon the young plant when it first comes up and before they have more than two seed leaves. To prevent this the hills should be covered with wire netting, the edges to be buried under she soil as the bugs will endeavor to get under them. The netting will also keep out the flea-beetles and yellow and black stripped bugs. As soon as the plants have five leaves the covers should be removed and the insects fought by other methods. Of course, hand picking may always be practiced. Some gardeners plant more seeds than properly develop in order to provide against the destruction of the whole hill. The plants should also be given good culture, to add vigor to them and also because the bugs are not partial to clean cultivation. The burning of useless rubbish in the fields reduces the winter shelter, and all vines should be collected and burned after harvesting the crop. The bugs may be collected by hand from the vines, or from equash plants between the rows used as traps. The bugs also seek shelter under leaves, in the ground, under clods or boards or wherever they can find a covering. A three per cent. spray of kerosene and water (kerosene emulsion) should be used. All eggs should be destroyed and the vines examined twice a day. The bug will always leave the melon or the cucumber for the squash, hence a few squash among melons or cucumbers will trap them. An 8 per cent. kerosene emulsion may injure the plant, about 7 per cent. being strong enough (seven parts kerosene to 100 parts water.) It is also important to kill as many bugs as possible in autumn after the crop is harvested and be sure to burn every vine. When spraying the vines care should be used as the kerosene and water must be intimately mixed. The first flow should be on the ground for a minute as it may contain too much kerosene. Spray the vines lightly, not too much, the spray to be very fine. The mixture will drive the bugs from their covers, when they can be destroyed. As stated before everything depends on destroying them by hand. The Barren Pear Tree. When we purchased the place upon which we are now living, we found a number of fine fruit trees growing here. One in particular that stood in the front lawn was a beautiful, luxuriant pear tree. But to our yearly disappointment, it produced neither fruit nor flowers. There seemed to be no apparent reason for such a great flourishing tree to fail so completely in the natural order of things. I happened once to meet the former owner of the premises, and spake of the barrenness of the tree. "Why madam," said he, "I guess that tree has stood there at least twenty years. It was there when I went there, that was seventeen years ago and I have seen no bloom on it yet." It it haden't been such a handsome tree with such a rich green foliage I should have disposed of it for some productive plant. We concluded to see what effect grafting would have upon it and had four varieties of grafts inserted. They all grew elegantly but did not bear after two years inserting. During one fall visit to the country cousin's farm, while the making of elder was going on, they carried me down to see them all at work, gathering apples pressing the juice from them and going through the process of barrelling all of which was new to me and much interested me. It was during the turning of the lever and pressing apples that I observed, wonderingly the peculiar machine at A policeman holds a child. "It seemed that nothing short of a miracle could save my little daughter from an untimely death," says City Marshall A. H. Malcolm, of Cherokee, Kan. "When two years old she was taken with stomach and bowel trouble and despite the efforts of the best physicians we could procure, she grew gradually worse and was pronounced incurable. A friend advised Dr. Miles' Nervine and after giving it a few days she began to improve and finally fully recovered. She is now past five years of age and the very picture of health." Sold by all Druggists. Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhard, Ind. which they worked. The trunk of a large apple tree formed the upright prop upon which the lever ran that worked up and down. On inquiry I was told that this apple tree had stood for many years a barren nuisance and arrangements had been made to cut it down and get rid of it; but one of the sons concluding that it would save a little time and worry for the time being to make the tree answer for a part of a elder press before destroying it, bored a large hole through the trunk through which the lever could run. This project answered very well. Just imagine my surprise as well as their own the next spring when that apple tree burst into full bloom and bore quantities of fine fruit. This was a new wrinkle for me. I acted upon the idea immediately; I went home got an auger and bit and had a hole bored through the trunk of that pear tree in a hurry and forced an iron tube through it. I next sprayed and whitewashed the trunk as usual. I do assure my readers that I never saw such a mass of beauty as that tree possessed next spring. Imagine a tree at least an hundred and twenty or thirty feet high literally loaded with white blossoms. People in other parts of the city walked a long way to ascertain what kind of growth it was. The grafts have since bourne fruit and the pears were many and various when not injured by frost in the blossoming season. I have tried this trick on other fruit trees and I believe it to be generally a good plan.—Correspondence Up to-Date Farming. Annual Thanksgiving Sermon.

Remember our Advertisers of this paper and patronize them THE WAITER Mr. Editor—Will you kindly give me space in the Waiters Department of your very valuable paper to make mention of one of our worthy young men who is now on the brink of reaching the top of the ladder in his profession. Mr. J. R. Dickerson, who served at the International hotel, this city, in the capacity of captain for eight successive seasons, and is now the able supporter of Wm. S. Forman as second waiter of same hotel. He received the appointment early in the spring, but owing to the dull season did not resume the duty until July 1st. During the eight seasons at the International he has won the confidence of both the headwaiter and proprietor, and has so conducted himself that his brother waiters are not only glad of his promotion, but they respect him in his position and are giving him their ablest support. Mr. Dickerson has been on the side for over fifteen years, and has worked in some of the leading hotels in the East. His wide experience, together with his faithful service, has brought him up to the second round of the ladder. The many waiters that know Mr. Dickerson's abil- MARY B. BUSINESS MEDIUM. MRS. MARTH, the world renowned and highly celebrated business and test MEDIUM professionals, everything in life. Business, Love and Marriage a speciality. Every mystery reels, also of absent, deceased and living persons, involves all troubles and estrange challenges, mate challenges, her in her starting revelation of the past present and future event in one's life. Remember she will not, for any price, latter you your nonsense. She can be consulted on all affairs of Life, Love, Courthship, Marriage, Friendship, future companion she is very accustomed to friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sick change, business, journeys, awaits change, business, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable, destiny good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE, has the power of any two mediums you ever met 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 future husband, the name of your 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 are or will have—whether you are married or single; whether your present sweetheart will be true to them; and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. A� your FUTURE will be told in an honest, clear, plain manner and in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children, young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts or, in-ended husbands, Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all, do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, 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 them, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is important that such a conclusion can be reached. It is important that everyone who placards himself or herself as a believer in the nature of life or the so-called claim. And person of any enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is simi- lar to these advisers do not take the trouble to study the nature of life, nor open their thoughts for content with accretions of physiology and kindred branches that have a tendency to make the pathway to the role of the business clear and devoid of obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will most notice—in full knowledge of what they know, and yet as soon as they confront a Messiah they will desire to dispel from their minds what they now so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the gambar. To set the secret out of a person by "pumping" in no low cases, is the art used by many professors and by many students of the hand and gain control of the mind there is a matter of impossibility to most of them. Mrs. MARTH can be done, and by consulting MRS. MARTH this seeming mystery becomes a realisation. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it is concretely that although there are infinitely many "only tongues," perhaps, the gates of wisdom not have been closed to the entire profession. It is a great deal of study to become an accomplished medium, and by a continuous and uninterrupted writing, unparalleled in parenthood unattainable mysteries have been acquired by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of others. By letter, advice $1.00. Hours from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. All letters must contain staples for answers. MRS. M. B. MARTH. 246 W. 1st St., New York City. THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ity predict him a bright future, and hope to soon see him on the top of the ladder. As we realize that the times are calling for efficient workers in every vocation of life, therefore, so long as we can produce young and up-to-date colored men to take the place of old and thoughtless head and second waiters just so long we can feel safe to say there is no danger of us losing ground to the opposing white race. J. H. Lane, International Hotel N.Y.C. From Beaumont, Texas. From Beaumont, Texas. The waiters at Beaumont, Tex., had their first annual sermon preached on Sunday, June 29, by Rev. D. F. Taylor, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church. His theme was the ministry of service. Text: Mark 10, xlv. Short, but very pointed addresses were made by Prof. E. Adams and J. C. Brooks. A large congregation heard the sermon, which was elquent and instructive. The collection was looked after by Messrs. C. H. D. Fleming and J. C. Brooks, and the way they went about it would have made a stranger think that they were the regular deacons of the church. W. Sims was indisposed several days last week. During his illness he had Agent Archibald to send The Freeman to his room. He says he can't do without it; good, keep it up. Jake Andrews, head-walter at the Claredon, is holding his own, supported by an efficient crew of waiters. Will Whitley, chief cook at the French restaurant, is giving general satisfaction. He was initiated Tuesday night, the 5th, in Beaumont Lodge No. 3404, G. U. O. O. F. Mr. Whitley is not very favorably impressed with Jacob's ladder. R. B. Dickens is among the waiters at the Oaks. Sam Fish of Houston, Tex., is at the Crosby house. You can have The Freeman sent to your address for $1.00 per year by subscribing now. George DeWitt Wilson is holding things down at the Clarendon.

Editor Freeman—Wenote with much pleasure the opening of the famous hotel Congress Hall, Saratoga, with Geo. A. Curry as headwaiter in charge. Mr. Curry has for twelve seasons previous to the season of 1901 had charge of Congress Hall as headwaiter. Mr. Curry ranks second to none in the profession, and it is needless to say that, with his retinue of accomplished officers and skilled and efficient crew he has selected, that this will be one of the most successful seasons in the history of the house. Mr. Curry has for the past six seasons had charge of the new St. Charles hotel, New Orleans, La, one of the best in the South, and the only first class hotel in New Orleans. The following are the names of the officers: Frank Brooks, second; James Lett, third; James A. Winn, fourth; Wm F. Dandridge, secretary; E. L. Stanard, hat attendant; C. C. Norris, captain morning watch; L. D Dobson, captain day watch; Charles Hawkins, silver; J. W. Hogan, linen. We opened up with twenty-five men; of course as the season opens we will increase our force to one hundred and fifteen men. W.M. E. DANDRIDGE. A. D. Williamson's Travels. A. D. Williamson, second waiter of the grill room in the Hotel Baltimore, Kansas City, Mo. has recently returned from a pleasant trip to San Francisco and the Pacific coast. In 'Frisco he was the guest of Mrs. Hines. $12\frac{1}{2}$ Elmond street, and with a Mr. Jones, also of Kansas City, had a couple of swell wine dinners given for both gentleman. Mr. Williamson was also entertained by S. B. Barnett, a swell young man of 'Frisco. Mr. Barnett has charge of one of the leading hotels in 'Frisco. Mr. Williamson visited the famous old Knobb Hill and called at the saloon owned by F. C. Williams in Golden Gate Park and at the Gray Stone hotel. Coming East from the Golden Gate Messrs. Williamson and Jones were royally entertained by J. H. Holmes in Colorado Springs. Here they met P. Scott, 320 Middle avenue, who runs a drug store. He has a charming and entertaining wife. All the people Messrs. Williamson and Jones met out West were from the South. In Denver they met many Southerners. N. C. Johns, assistant headwaiter of the Powers hotel, Rochester, N.

THE TENTH CAVALRY IN CUBA. Special to The Freeman. After participating in all the battles of any consequence and really having the most advanced position in the charge of San Juan Hill, the 10th United States Cavalry, with other regiments that served in Cuba during the Spanish-American war, was ordered to Montauk Point, New York (Long Island). This place proved a veritable death pen. The War Department then ordered the regiment South to occupy camps used for the mobilization of troops for the war of 1898. The 10th was ordered to Camp A. G. Forse, Huntsville, Ala., and spent the major portion of the winter of 1898 at that place. It was then ordered to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, one of the largest posts in the United States. We spent but a very short time there when we were for the second time ordered to Cuba, an order which was joyfully received by all with the exception of the few who had wives, sweethearts or relatives in the city of San Antonio, of which the post is a part. Our regiment was at this time comprised largely of new men who had not seen service in Cuba, and were especially anxious to view the spot where the older troopers had fought, bled and died. After such preparation as is incident to such movements, the first section of the regiment boarded the cars for Galveston, Texas, and on the morning of May 1st embarked on the transport Logan and sailed for Sunny Cuba. This section, comprising the headquarters, staff, band and troops A, C, G, H, L and M landed at Manzanillo, Cuba, on May 7th, and relieved the 4th Volunteer Infantry (Immune) from duty in Cuba. About one week later the second section of the regiment, comprising troops B, D, E, F, I and K, landed at Gibara, Cuba, and were assigned to stations in the vicinity of Holguin. Our duties here are very much similar to such as we performed in the States, and we have enjoyed excellent health, there being but very few to die from disease. We found the towns about as dirty as the papers in America plotured them to be, and had quite a task before us to keep the yellow fever from making its customary visit, and it is mainly through the efforts of our sanitary officer (an American army officer) that the dread disease did not ravage our camps. How well this officer performed his duties can be verified by the residents of this city, in which vicinity our headquarters and four troops have been stationed since our disembarkation. Our relations with the natives is amicable, and friction is a rarity. On January 1, 1900, one squadron of the regiment—troops E, F, G and H—lef Cuba for the States, preparatory to going to the Philippines. We have services in the Post Chapel every Sunday conducted by the chapplain. In the fall we have a post school which runs from four to six months, also under the supervision of the chapplain. One of the most helpful things for our soldiers is the Young Men's Christian Association at our post, which has been established for nearly two years, it holds one meeting a week, which is nearly always along literary lines. Very litt e can be done along the lines of physical culture for the reason that Uncle Sam looks after our physical condition in a thorough manner. Spiritually we have nothing much to brag about though we have a soldiers' prayer and Bible league club, which is doing some good. Our reading and writing rooms are well patronized by the men. The army and navy branch of the Y. M. C. A. furnishes us writing paper and envelopes and many papers and periodicals, and their gratuitous interestness has done more than a letter from home to make our lot a pleasantner one The chaplain is unceasing in hisefforts to make our lives as enjoyable as could be in any post in the States, and the noteworthiness of his efforts have been observed by other eyes than ours as the following extract from the report of an inspection of the post of Manzanillo from October 4th to 12th, 1901, will attest: "Chaplain Anderson seems a man of more than ordinary executive ability, and is certainly one of untiring energy, for in addition to the regular duties of his profession, he has performed those of officer in charge of the post schools, as Canteen officer, Post treasurer and has also figured quite prominently as sanitary inspector of the city and in other civil affairs. Mainly through his efforts the library and reading room and gymnasium have been made most attractive resorts for enlisted men. He has also instituted a Young Men's Christian Association which is an excellent agent for bringing the men together." This is from a report rendered the war department by Major G. K. Mo Gunneleg, 3d U. S. Infantry, assistant to the Inspector General of the Department of Cuba. I will also quote an extract from an article in the "Association Men" for February, 1902, furnished by Mr. B. Miller, senior secretary of the Army and Navy branch of the Y. M. C. A., after making a tour of the Island inspecting the Association work in connection with the secretary for Cuba : "A very interesting Association was found at Manzanillo, in the portion of the 10th Cavalry stationed there. This was the regiment that fought so valiantly in the battle of San Juan Hill. The association has a firm foothold in the 'fighting Tenth,' both in Menzanillo and at Holguin. ChaplainAnderson, of this regiment, spoke in highest terms of the results of the work, as he had seen them in the changed lives of the men. A striking feature is the literary program given each Wednesday. In addition to recitations and musical selections, papers and talks, essays are given and often debates] are held that would compare favorably with those in many college, literary societies. It was of interest to find them discussing such questions as: 'Is war in any case justifiable?' 'Which is the more despicable character, the liar or the hypocrite?' 'Has the fear of punishment or the hope of reward the greater influence on the human conduct?' The traveling libraries are widely read." A Young Mens' Christian Association was not established at Holguin until May 1901. The Chaplain and fifteen enlisted men from our post rode over to Holguin, a distance of 130 miles, and organized this work. We found a good literary society there among the men and easily converted it into an Association. The Y. M. C. A. secretary for Cuba, in speaking of this work, says they were sewing the seed for an evangelical harvest. S. J. WILLOUGHBY. Troop A, Manzanillo, Cuba.

THE ELDORADO, ILLINOIS AFFAIR Governor Richard Yates of Illinois has taken the bit in his teeth as it concernl the racial disturbance at Eldorado, Ill., several weeks ago wherein the Eldorado Normal and Industrial Institute was stoned and the principal, Jefferson D. Alston, his wife and pupils were compelled to leave for fear of mob violence. In reply to a letter sent Governor Yates by Alston, he says: Springfield. Ill., July 7, 1902. Mr. Jefferson D. Alston, Eldorado Normal and Industrial Institute, Matropolis, Ill. My Dear Sir.—I am in receipt of your favor of the 1st instant in which you say you are in Metropolis because your wife desires to get away from a place that would endanger her or your life, and in which you futher state that you owe $500 upon the Eldorado property, which could have been paid if you had been allowed to close the school, and at the close of which you state the trustees have agreed to re-establish the school elsewhere and inquire whether I have any suggestion to make. In reply I will say that I suggest that you return to Eldorado and open your school at the proper time, exactly as if no disturbance had occurred, with the assurance from me that I will furnish you by telegraph all such force as may be necessary to protect you and all inmates of the school from disturbance of any kind whatsoever. I note your statement that the inmates of your school lived in this state, being for the most part, old residents, and that they were not students from Kentucky. RICHARD YATES It is very evident that the Governor means what he says, and the people that are concerned will be so impressed and will govern themselves accordingly. The Governor does nothing but a simple act of justice in restoring those people to their homes if they have conducted themselves with propriety and at this time there is no evidence to the contrary. And should they have violated the laws it is not every man's affair. The officers of the law are sworn to do their duty and this individual officiousness is not required at all. The Governor is firm in his attitude and in being so reassures the colored people of the state that he is their Governor and protector as well as reads a lesson to other Governors and executives that the laws are not made for classes. Colored people everywhere will see something to commend in the action of Mr. Yates, albeit, he has but done his duty as a Governor and as a man. The Hampton Negro Conference of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute was held in Cleveland Hall of that institution, July 16th, 17th and 18th. Many prominent men throughout the country were in attendance among whom were: Prof Kelly Miller, Rev F. F. J. Grimke, Prof. W. S. Scarborough. The subjects discussed were along the line of economics with the view of bettering the conditions of the people and especially applicable to the Negroes. Information comes this week of the idnapping of four Negro boys in Cairo, Egypt, Africa, to be sold as slave in Syria. The boys were offered work as camel drivers in the suburbs of Cairo. On arriving at the designated place they were bound and gagged, taken across the desert the Turkish frontier guards being bribed. One boy escaped and gave evidence, causing the arrest and conviction of the kidnappers. The price paid for the boys was about $60 each. It is said that out of her regard for the welfare of a family in North Carolina, the Duchess of Mailborough, Consuelo Vanderbilt, keeps employed a colored footman to attend her while she THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. attends the functions of society in London. It is said she is envied, owing to her faithful black servant. So golf playing is going to enter the race problem. Well, some people certainly love to play that game of new fangled shinny. The Democrats of Alabama owing to the new constitution of the state which eliminates a large portion of the Negro vote will resort to primary elections in the future. They will endeavor to equalize the counties' representation; it being no longer felt necessary to pile up great majorities in Negro counties; resulting in representation out of proportion to white citizens. The Recorder of this city thinks that Emancipation Day ought to be a fixed event among the colored people. We heartily agree with it. The race can ill afford to neglect the event or the man. An association with the object of keeping green the memory of the great event of our racial life would be no bad move. The Fourth of July will not be forgotten as long as the United States remains a republic. Mr. J. J. Miles of Milwaukee who attended the Afro-American Council in St. Paul, speaks of the welcome extended to the visitors on the part of the citizens, but he felt that the sessions this year lacked somewhat in dignity when compared with those of other years. He thinks Bishop Waiters and a few others are sincere, but has his doubts about others. Three white Bishops attended the sessions and also a number of distinguished white ladies and gentlemen who are interested in the race's movements. The fifth annual session of the Afro-American Council recently he'd in St. Paul, Minn., was characterized by a general change of officers. Bishop Walters has been the president up until this year, and it is owing to him largely that the Council has its prominence and promised permanence. Bishop Walters it is understood will be the chairman of the executive board in which office he will yet be able to help shape the legislations of that body. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, T. Thomas Fortune; vice-Presidents, W. A. Pledger, Georgia; George H. White, North Carolina; I. B. Scott, Louisiana; J. C. Dancey, North Carolina; H. P. Johnson, E. H. Deas, South Carolina; Financial Secretary, Frederick I. McGhee, St. Paul; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Fannie Barnett Williams. A state convention of Negroes is proposed. We can not see why such a convention at this time should not have a salutary effect in view of the rapidly changing sentiment throughout the state as it concerns the Negroes. Conventoins in the past have been condemned, blamed because the people saw no immediate result of their deliberations, when in fact conventions are not for the purpose of securing quick returns. They are to assist in turning the tide of sentiment, and not for legislation; and no convention can exist with good purposes in view, without some benefits being derived, if it only serves to make the members of the body stronger in the cause they represent. A convention will be in order if it has in mind more than the political phase; its no time to be hawked about with politics in mind only. An addressed issued from a body with helpful purposes in view would do much in putting forward the sense of the Negroes as it concerns the situation and also serve as a platform of principles for future guidance. DR. S. A. ELBERT'S FUNERAL At the beautiful funeral services of the late Dr. S. A. Elbert at Bethel A. M. E. Church last week, A. E. Manning spoke of him as a citizen, Dr. S. A. Furniss, as a physician and Nathan Pierce as a churchman. Dr. R. R. Downs read the Scripture lesson and made remarks in keeping with the life of the individual. Bishop Grant arrived during the funeral ceremonies and spoke feelingly of the loss of the community in Dr. Elbert. The funeral was conducted by Shelton & Morgan. DR. JONES IN ERROR. (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE) bench, or no one is found who can or will succeed Bishop Coppin as bishop of South Africa. Should any who are now anxious to enter the gates take up the bait and become known as advocates of the plan of creating vacancies that is imputed to Chappelle those persons would thus remove themselves from Chappelle's way when he does undertake to enter it. If he gave utterance to any such words it is, perhaps, with the intention of giving his possible future opponents a deadly plaything. The premature exposure of the plan is its death. It will be a disowned corpse. Dr. Jones touched on the surface of many important things, but he should either be silent or else give his readers a clear and full and correct statement of the matters to which he attracts attention.

Fernando manager of the Acme quartette has just received a stereoptician for his quartette. They will soon add a motion picture optigraph.

Roster: Miss Daisy Whitfield, our quadroon soubrette, a terpsichorean artist of rare ability; Fred Vaughn and Richard Robinson, refined comedy artists and edtainers; Clissel and Mines. in a comedy sketch assisted by the juvenile prodegy, little Bumpety, their burlesque of life-saving being a howling success. Little Bumpy, using pickaninny lullabys is a feature. R. E. Garnett, basso and old man impersonator; and James H. Gray, baritone solist in character songs. We are pleased to say that all work hard and harmoniously to make our portion a success as the ofays watch us with a jealous eye. Regards of company to all friends in and out of the profession. Notes from Johuson's Operatic Cake Walkers: Our show opened to S. R. O. and our large canvass was crowded the entire week at Springfield, Ill. We opened this week at Lincoln and had to turn them away. Our roster includes The Crosbys, Vida Devine and Webster Williams; Addie May Scott, Percy Gudger; The Pettys-Billy and Betty; Arthur Dunnigan and Trixie Ford. Harry Crosby, stage manager; Mrs. Petty, wardrobe lady; Prof. Dunnigan, musical director. We are using the very latest musical compositions and are cleaning up. The entire company sends regards to professional friends. Notes from Jos. J. Flynn's Nashville Troubadour:—The show continues to play before enthusiastic audiences throughout the New England States, and the public and press are loud in their praise of the work and conduct of the members of the organization on and off the stage. Much credit is due Jas. Gorman, of the Three Gorman Bros for the efficient manner in which he has staged "Aunt Hanna's Silver Wedding" in which Erb Robinson and Kid Frazier take up the leading comedy parts. Our ollo consists of Bailey and Glenn, a very clever sister act and they are more than making good; Walter Robinson, lyric tenor soloist, is assisted by the Buckeye Comedy Four-Messers. Erb Robinson, Nat Lucas, Robt. Cooper and W. Robinson. Frazier and Peterson in their 12 minute sketch never fail to bring down the house at each performance. Erb Robinson as a monologist is hard to beat. His songs and funny sayings make him a prime favorite. Miss Cleo Desmond, closes the show singing the metropolitan song success, "Nancy Brown." She is assisted by the Nashville Troubadour Octette-Misies Peterson, Glenn, Smith, Williams; Messrs Nat Lucas, Bob Cooper, Kid Frazier and Erb Robinson. Nat Lucas and Bob Cooper both appear creditably in parts in the opening act. Everybody is in fine health. --- Noter from the Famous Georgia Minstrels: We are still moving with no complaints to make at all, business being good and putting it mild we are playing to the capacity of the houses. We have been running into one or two circuses but the seem to add to our business. We ran into Campbell Bros. at Crookston, Minn., and the Ringling Bros. at Grand Forks N. D., and at Fargo. Both companies treated us with the utmost courtesy and were highly elated over the show. One of our noted end men Oscar Cameron became perfectly infatuated with the Ringling show and is seemingly obstinate ever since leaving them. Oscar being a favorite with the Georgians, we do our best to keep him in love with us. He and Kid Langford another real lover of the circus send their best regards to Chas Hughes. Ed Tolliver is meeting with unbounded success featuring a new song, "The Lady with a Diamond in her Tooth" and his idea of handling, "You Couldn't Hardly Notice it at All" is far above the average. Kid Langford is scoring a tremendous hit nightly singing, "If Money Talks it Ain't on Speaking Terms With Me." J. W. Cooper, the man of very few words and acknowledged by the press throughout as being the most startling trilogueist of the day is certainly proving a wonder. Dick Thomas is another whom we feel dedicated to announce as his work has been before the public so long that the writer here feels loathe to serve as his critic. Mr. Thomas plays the leading role in Aunt Nancy's Wedding Day, the one big act with our show. The Houseley musical act has been greatly improved, and is claimed by the press to be among the best. The Brothers send regards to LaShe, Parker and all friends. Dave Smith, of our company wishes to hear at once from Chas. Miller of Chattanooga Tenn., on business of utmost importance to Mr. Miller. Address me at the Freeman office at once. The big trio offers a liberal reward for the address of Oscar Lindsay. --- Notes from P. G. Lowery's Concert Band and Vaudeville Co: We are still touring Canada. Everything is coming our way, even the wind. We find the climate delightful. We had the pleasure of meeting, Wm. Carter, manager of the Canadian Jubilee Singers, July 11, at his beautiful residence at Hamilton Ont. We are all very proud of Mr. Carter. He has proven himself the most successful colored manager we have. His motto is "Engage the most refined talent and pay every week. Mr. Cary, the cornetist with Mr. Carter assisted him in making the city of Hamilton, Ont., the garden spot of our Canada trip. Our friend Jim Wilson, the noted juggler formerly a room mate of Mr. Lowery made it very pleasant forns at his home in Brantford Ont. Jim is looking good aid is running his own business. We expect to meet our old orchestra leader. Ed. Jones, in Elmira, N. Y. We are all looking forward to a pleasant visit with friends and relatives in Columbus O., on the 9th of August. Sallie Lee will spend the day with her father and sisters. You can use your judgement about our visit to Indianapolis Ind. It is an understood fact that Mr. Knox will see every part of our big show and after that Mr. Knox invites our entire company to his own original play "Home Ain't Nothing Like This." P. G. sends regards to Harry Jackson and all friends. He would like to hear from Oliver Perry, Fountain B. Woods and Mr. Simons. Johny Jones sends regards to all New York and Cincinnati friends. Prentis Oliver says he likes his trip through Canada and is having a good time among his Indian friends. Regards to Charley Williams and Bud Truly. DINING ROOM NOTES William Irvin and William Baker were highly entertained at the residence of Mrs. Mand Izzard in Toronto.

Ed. Green, Judson Hicks, Will Cooke, James Worrell Pete Washington and Jno. Montgomery.-Geo Hammond is spending the week in Kingston, Ont PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHY We wake up to find the new era has added new history to the primeval standing of performers and stage productions. The vaudeville star, minstrel comedian, musical artist and dancing expert, no longer occupies the most distinguished individual standing among colored actors. The comedy stars according to classification now hold first place. THE LEGITIMATE STANDARD. THE LEGITIMATE STANDARD. The legitimate standard of the foremost actors has not yet been established nor will it be until they can reach a financial basis that will place them above future appearances in vaudeville. They have all fallen short, up to date. Bob Cole had to go back into vaudeville between meals. Williams and Walker had not yet omitted their famous ragtime war dance. Ernest Hogan wanted to star but could not get ready. I surmise that Williams and Walker will be the first comedians to establish a precedent. They have advantage of the best management, but Bob Cole and Ernest Hogan are smart actors and Cole will keep us guessing. Sissieretta Jones, who is already legitimate, has established a precedent, but she will have to appear, before many seasons pass, in a one act opera in its entirety, or else take second place in the rank of distinction. WISDOM FOR THE WICKED. Every well known white manager who has handled colored shows and given them up for white ones has gone bankrupt. This is a victory for good white managers and a lesson to hypocrites. The day has come when the light of intelligence among colored performers must shine most brightly. The disagreements between a manager and a performer, where only one side of the story is heard has no weight. The members of the company are sure to scatter the news and the verdict of opinion soon creeps out in favor of one or the other. It is never of any interest to the public except for speculation. The few sectional prejudices which exist between performers, East, West and South must not be entertained. It all amounts to nothing. Its a good joke. P. J. Howley, of Howley, Haviland and Dresser, music publishers took a trip abroad last winter in search of a substitute for the "coon" song. Paul Dresser, of the firm, is religious and don't write coon songs. In the meantime, Jos. W. Stearn's music company has consumed all the famous song writers in New York, headed by Bob Cole, to flood the market with genuine coon songs. Now what will poor Mr. Haviland, the hustling partner, do? Felix F, Fiest, a white man, author of the words to the coon song, "If Time was Money" has used the word "nigger" in the second verse of his song. I find the word "nigger" to be common place and not appreciated by the best classes of people. There seems to be no objections to the word "coon" and the word "darkey" could easily be substituted for "nigger" in cases of a dysyllable. TWO NEW COMEDY STARS. Walter Smart and George Williams two extra fine comedians will star during the present season in "The Pullman man Porters." The play has a good name. Its author is carefully omitted. If the play is a failure we will probably never know who the author was. It will be a big city attraction under the management of James D. Flynn. Managers Rusco & Holland have announced Billy Kersands as the leading For Foy Elliott's Ragtime Opera Co., for summer and fall season 10 ladies that sing, dance, play musical instruments, do acrobatic or novelty acts. Send photo and state lowest salary first letter, d and orchestra. Address FOY ELLIOT, 657, Kankakee, IL star of their Georgia Minstrels. Ker sands is the time honored warrior of the minstrel stage from under whose wing many young chickens-now grown up larger than he-were hatched. Now Clarence Powell has asserted his supremacy. As minstrel headlights go, Mr. Powell is getting rather lightheaded. He must soon turn over a new leaf. Mr. Kersands is the star. ? Bob Cole is wading in the deep blue sea, histrionically, at present. The billows are serging over his head. He can't see land extra handy. It would worry him awful much if he did not have access to the topmost bough of the song writers fig tree. When he begins to sink he can climb up the tree. "There you will find him:— "Eating figs by the score Among the twigs—nothing more." Falsehoods and Hearsays. Falsehoods and Hearsays. Dallas, Tex. Special.-The citizens of this great metropolis must stand by and render unto another one of those mallious falsehoods and hearsays. We have a few drones and holdbacks to every business proposition that has been put by Negroes here. These same Negroes have and will in a short time receive due credit for their greediness toward their fellow business man in every walk of business operated in Dallas. There is competition between 25 barbershops, 20 restaurants, 18 saloons and 24 grocery stores, doctors and lawyers. There are two other Negro organizations here that should have the support of every Negro of Dallas and their confidence combined. They have no opposition only from the brother white man, and he to-day is more friendly toward the success of them. Some of these same Negroes don't want to belong to that nigger sick association, and don't want them nigger undertakers to bury me when I am dead. This class of Negroes should become a little better informed on all lines, then they could see the light of their actions. Something has and is going wrong here with some of the societies. Are their funerals too big for the People's Co. to handle? Yet every member in it can stand by and see that same thing carried on and not speak of it. Weak ones, wake up and inquire the cause and stop it, and let your dead be buried by the People's Co. and insure the progress to go on and up. It is said it takes all kind of people to make a world. Creatures like these are going to be disturbed very often when attempting such measly methods of eaking out excuses as are going the rounds about that funeral of one of its members. Let every kind of business grow. The lights are now turned on and will shine on the evil doers here. You should read The Freeman to know it every week. Dallas Union Lodge No. 1940 Odd Fellows, elected Representative Frank C. Rutherford to State Grand Lodge, also W. J. A. Jackson to meet with the B. M. C. at New Haven, Conn. These two worthy representatives will represent the interest of Odd Fellows up to date. The 4th passed off very noisy. The picnics at Metropolitan and Shady View parks were well attended. It is the regret of every citizen and loyal voter to read of the occurrence of Thursday night, the 3d, near Mount Rose Baptist church, in which a good man was killed by officer Colbetter. Mr. Joe Combs leaves many friends, both white and black, to mourn his demise. He was a member in good standing in several organizations. The Sunday-school benefit given at the residence of Miss Ella Crutchfield was a financial success. "Esther," the beautiful queen, was repeated Monday night, July 7th, to a large and appreciative audience. The leading characters of this play deserve much praise.

B. SQUARE'S BLUSTER The present conditions of the American Negro citizens, are far worst than they were fifty years ago, regardless of the "onward march of civilization" and progression; regardless of the Negro having his freedom; regardless of his having his "constitutional rights (?)"; regardless of the fact that almost all the old time ex-Rebels and ex-slave holders are dead and—well, gone; regardless of the teachings and preachings of the Booker Washingtonts (I hope the "typo" will not leave off the "S," as there are more than one Booker Washington); regardless of the press; regardless of these and a score of other facts of a "progressive" mature, the American Negro of to-day is in a worst civil and political condition than before the civil war. What can you do to better conditions? What will you do? "The Man-on-the-Corner," who writes the same kind of "Hot Stuff" for a Washington exchange as I write for this paper, threw the following bouquet at himself, in a late issue of the journal he honors with his bright thoughts and keen observation (?) or over-bearings. (This is a peach I am throwing at him) he says: "The Man-on-the-Corner remains a mystery, despite the fact that there are many who think they have gotten onto his curves.' From the number of places he appears and the multifarious 'observations' he makes, it might reasonably be asserted that the Man-on-the-Corner is a modern Proteus—he must certainly assume—in the time allowed to his perceptions—numerous forms, characters and colors.

HARTE MARRIE BEFORE USING HARTONA A. works were written by a cabal of famous scholars at the English court, who wished to paint figures that would live in history, without having their high caste exposed, or being reduced to competition with the 'penny-a-liners,' who absorbed mixed-alle at the White Horse tavern at the expense of the passing throng, and scribbled off 'copy' amid curling fumes from a cob-pipe. The strolling player 'Shakespeare' eager to earn his sa t, may have served as an excellent 'chopping block' for these erudite British-grandees—who knows? And who can find out, now that all parties to the secret—including Ignatius Donnelly—have gone the way of all the earth? Who knows that the suspected Man-on-the-Corner is only a convenient 'storm-center' for a mass of caustic manuscript, written by a coterie of Washington's literary 'table-round'—so that the spirit of cohesion may be preserved, while a wide area is being covered? Could Shakespeare, or any other man, have traveled in all the countries described in his productions, or been admitted to the inner circle of the nobility, with whose every heart throb he seemed familiar? In one short week, does anyone think it possible for the Man-on-the-Corner to keep vigil at his putative post, visit the churches, literaries, restaurants, clubs, banquets, balls and schools, and chat with prelates, pugilists, orators, raconteurs, educators, society leaders and politicians, without serious risk of nervous prostration? Well, be all these things as they may, Shakespeare written by any pen or many will never cease to inspire the universal soul, and the Man-on-the-Corner will continue to do THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. AFTER USING MARTONA TRADE-MARK.

THE SWEET THEART I NEVER HAVE SEEN. "O! here's to the sweetheart I never have seen. The one fairest woman—my idol my queen.— Who thralls me with mystery, calls me her own And sweeps up the stairs of my head to her throne With a pride of possession so charmingly sweet. That I smile at the confident sound of her feet, As I reach my arms with a yearning that she Understands as she on my welcoming knee With a look so appealing, so fond and serene— The dear little sweetheart I never have seen." I am not the author of the above lines as the quotation marks will show (unless left out by the typesetter) but "them's my sentiments, yes them's my sentiment" about a Ky school teacher—a lady and a scholar—who I never have seen. *** Brief Business Facts About the Invincible Sons and Daughters of Commerce. 1st.

The fourth and last quarterly conference for the conference year will be held from August 1 to 6. The pastor is away on a trip to Michigan. He will attend and is secretary of the Literary and Historical Congress which meets in Detroit on the 23 25 inst. We heartily commend the officers and members of the Lincoln Union, Odd Fellows, for the intelligent manner in which they conformed to our order of church service, when led by the pastor, in kneeling and standing. We received no such courteous regard by any other before and we heartily wish them prosperity and increase along such manly and Christian lines. We also would make special mention of the excellent accommodations afforded by undertakers Morgan & Shelton, in a carriage It is Money in Your Pocket to Trade with Gauld the Druggist See a few of our prices: 601 INDIANA AVENUE Danderline, 19c 39c Pinaud's Hair Tonic, 39c 75c Eagle Milk 19c Mennen's Taicum, 19c 2 for. 29c Antirn Ice Cream 10c pint, 20c quart, 80c and accuracy in compounding are of the prices that will save you money.

RHEIN, especially for ministers, placed in front of the hearse, conducting the funeral in proper order to the cemetery. For the first time since we have been in the city, as pastor, we were given full control of the funeral services without interference. We are grateful for the loyalty and mark of appreciation shown by sister Elbert and family to the church and pastor. Bishop Grant stood before a large congregation last Sunday morning and delivered, not only an able, but very effective discourse. Many tears were shed and hearts impressed. The following persons joined the church: Miss Eva Wynn, on probation; Maggie Crosswhite, Addie Hummons, Eveline Hale, Carrie Taylor and J. H. Hinton; the four ladies were received into full fellowship by re-obligation and Mr. Hinton by certificate. The pastor addressed the young people in the grove for Rev. Ratliffe last Sunday. Next Sunday at 10:45 a.m., Mr. S. L. Bowles will preach. At 3:30 p.m. a program will be rendered by Prof. Collins and Secretary S. W. Evans, assisted by others, for the purpose of raising the amount necessary for expenses to the Negro Young People's Christian Congress. The trustees are arranging to have a big rally on the third Sunday in August. Each trustee will rally his individual forces with the endeavor to raise $100 each. Bishop Grant will marshal the forces that day. Now that Sunday funerals are out of date, the next thing is to do away with the old custom of marching around the church looking at the exposed faces of the dead. Why cannot people, if they are sincere, go to the house to see their friends; if strangers, why yield to a morbid curiosity? We never look at dead faces; we want to carry in our mind living images; we believe in a gospel of life. R. R. DOWNS. SIMPSON CHAPEL NOTES. A larger congregation than usual was present last Sunday and the collection was good. There were three additions this week-Louis Jackson, of Lexington, Ky., Isaac Rambo, Rome Ga. and Miss Mildred Board-Hardinsburg, Ky. The singing of the choir before the State Epworth League Convention has been highly spoken of by officers and members and Roberts Park will be glad to have them return. Simpson and Barnes Chapels were both largely represented during the sessions. The lawn fete and wheel social at North Indianapoils and the Junior league picnic at Riverside park were enjoyable affairs. The pastor left Thursday on an official visit as representative of the Board of Directors of the National Church Insurance Society to the district conference. He returns tonight and will preach at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. The Woman's Home Missionary Society will have a special service and Thanks Offering to-morrow at 8 p.m. and an interesting program is assured. The sympathy and prayers of the church are extended our beloved Presiding Elder, Rev. G. A. Sissle, who is quite ill in Chicago. BARNES CHAPEL NOTES. Usual services to-morrow. Rev. T. R.
