A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XV. NUMBER 32. DEEDS OF OMISSION BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE 8TH CONGRESS. THE PRESIDENT IS ALL RIGHT! Brave Colored Officers who Served in the Spanish-American War, Forced into Civil Life Until They are Needed Again to Stop Bullets. Washington, D. C. Special.—Congress has hied itself to its several and individual homes and the dull season we have with us. The seat of activity will soon be in evidence in the congressional districts, and during this lull the members will have a splendid opportunity to study up a report on their stewardship that will convince the careful voters that they should be allowed two more years of the pleasing occupation of making laws for their fellow countrymen. The first session of the 57th Congress, from a Negro standpoint, is conspicuous for what RICHARD W. THOMPSON. satisfied with the distribution of places in the Census office and have kept up a constant fire on Director Merriam for ridding the office of all but a handful of Negro clerks. The eel-like individual attempt to clear his skirts of blame by shifting the responsibility upon the members of Congress, who, he says, failed to include colored men in the quota of those to be kept in the permanent census. As Merriam is now safely re-appointed, the burden of explanation falls upon the hapless members, especially those in districts with large Negro populations and which are minus a single Negro representative upon the census rolls—such as Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Iowa, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It will be a pertinent question to ask the sitting member this fall why the Negro voters in these states were ignored in the apportionment of places in the Census Bureau, where congressional influence was paramount. Usually a large contingent of Washington office holders go home every two years at their own expense to help things out. Much doubt is expressed this year as to what they will do, for as no presidential ticket is in the balance, little concern is felt about the fate of Representatives who cared nothing for the welfare of the poor, despised and oppressed Negro who has been knocking unheard for the last decade at the door of Congress. It is hinted that Chairman Babock and Secretary Overstreet will take a few minutes from the labor troubles of white voters to pay a little attention to the complaints of their black allies, who, though invariably faithful, are inclined to feel that the second table is not an adequate reward for the sacrifices they have made since and during the perilous period of reconstruction. Now that the tariff promises to be again in evidence upon the stump, the early birds among Negro spellbinders are reading up on home markets, comparative tables, balance of trade and all phases of modern political economy. No slavery arguments go any more. Recorder John C. Dancey has won a deserved popularity since he assumed charge of his office. He has had large experience in the matter of handling official forces, so that he went to work here well equipped for vigorous and intelligent service. He was at one time Register of Deeds for Edgecombe county, North Carolina, and during the administrations of of Presidents Harrison and McKinley was collector of the port of Wilmington, same state, conducting himself at all times in a manner that won the confidence and esteem of both races and parties. He is no stranger to Washington, as his business and church interests brought him frequently to the capital. His services as a speaker have been in great demand, and it is possible that he has made more ad- JOHN C. DANCY. dresses on more different subjects, and eaten more state dinners than any other man in Washington during the past four months. Mr. Danyo is a favorite with all elements in the nation's Cosmopolis, and holds his friends close to him by keeping strict faith with them in the smallest of details. A few days ago he purchased a handsome residence at Twenty-second and L streets, N. W., in an aristocratic neighborhood, and should political vicissitudes carry him at some time away, the property will prove a splendid investment. The town is all stirred up over the question who shall succeed Prof. J. H. N. W.aring as supervising principal in the public schools. Prof. Waring goes to Baltimore to accept the principalship of the High and Training school at $2,400 per year. Messrs. F. L. Gardzoo, Jr., W. Bruce Evans an John C. Nalle are mentioned as suitable timber for promotion, and it is very likely INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1902. Terzy Cols. O. REV. E. W. LAMPTON, Financial Secretary A. M. E.

The controversy as to whether there are ten or six qualified justices of the peace in the District of Columbia is practically settled by Comptroller Tracewell's decision that all are legally entitled to their salaries, as appropriated by Congress. When the number now in office (10) shall have been reduced to six by death, resignation or expiration of term, only six shall be allowed, according to the new code. Whether the salary is $2,000 or $3,000 remains a mooted question. It is said that in event the number goes down to six, the colored justices, Messrs. Robert H. Terrell and E. M. Hewlett are booked for permanent berths, at which all Washingtonians are highly pleased. some methods employed by St. Paul, the leaders will work in hand—that of rais the disfranchising const. South.

Prof. O. M. Wood, of St. Louis, who holds the responsible position of superintendent of education for the Island of Porto Rico, was in the city this week. Prof. Wood is a linguist, speaking Spanish and French with great fluency. The schools under his charge are at present all taught by native and American teachers. Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce spent the week here, the guest of Justice Robert H. Terrell. He was guest of honor at a dinner given by Register Lyons, and was given a delightful breakfast at Gray and Costley's by a number of old classmates, headed by Mr. Thaddeus Brooks, of the postoffice department. The Freedmen's Land and Transportation company is making a great success with the Jane Mosely, a palatial side wheel steamer, capable of accommodating 1,500 passengers. It is engaged for almost every day during the season, and the stockholders are bound to quit the season ahead, despite the fact that the boat was late getting into commission, Mr. F. M. Sims is president of the company, and Mr. W. L. Pollard is secretary. The stockholders embrace the most substantial citizens of Washington and Baltimore. A big delegation attended the Young People's Educational and Religious Congress at Atlanta. Mr. W. T. Menard, the well known correspondent and attache of the Government printing office, is enjoying his vacation at Red Bank, N. J., as the guest of Editor T. Thomas Fortune, of the New York Age. Although there is some disaffection in the local Afro-American Council on account of some methods employed in the election at St. Paul, the leaders will go on with the work in hand—that of raising funds to test the disfranchising constitutions in the South. They take the view that if the National Council is to survive it must be built upon a solid foundation of local councils, with a membership that is permanent and which will make a convention that will actually represent the best thought of the race, sent by a definite constituency to which the delegates will be responsible, Hon. George H. White and Prof. Jesse Lawson are doing a great work here, and if every state would make as fine a showing as the District of Columbia, President Fortune would next year call together the only real national convention the race has had in this decade. The Council wants no more meetings made up of scattered and heterogeneous factors, who in nine instances out of ten, pay $5 for the privilege of promoting some personal object at the expense of the Negro people. The Colored American, under the shrewd management of Col. Edward E. Cooper, is experiencing a boom. It discusses all the live questions in a live fashion, and is a fearless advocate of racial manhood and equality of opportunity for all. It is read in every well regulated household in this neck o' the woods. Washingtonians ask with much surprise, how is it that in the executive departments clerks and other officials from nearly every state of any consequence are met with in great profusion, but Indians are as scarce as strawberries in a boarding house shortcake. From Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, South Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and "all over" come the army of lucky place-holders—but Indiana, the boasted pivotal state, with two Republican United States Senators and a big brood of Republican Representatives in the lower house of Congress, cannot "land" a messenger's job. The few Negroes who are in the departments, got in under the old regime, and have been here for years—such as G. W. Jackson, Leroy C. Morris, Albert J. Farley and Alex. Freeman—but the newer dispensation gets—000. There was one Indiana colored man in the Census, but he was charged, not to Indiana, but to the country at large, his influence coming from a distant state. Why don't the hustling young Indians wake up and set something to doing? Now is the time to strike, if ever. Where is Messrs Knox, Lewis, Furniss, Shelton, Brown, Walden, Puryear, Christy, Welle, Pierce, Simms and all that "push" who used to "round up the boys" and see that they put their ballots where they would do the party the most good? Where are the men who redeemed Indians from the Democracy, and who are keeping her singly ensconced in the Republican column? R. W. THOMPSON. MATERIAL PROGRESS OF THE MACE--A SUBJECT UNDER KEEN-EYE CONSIDERATION. PARTIAL STATISTICS OF WEALTH An Address Delivered by Rev. E. W. Lampton Before the Negro Young People's Christian Congress, in Atlanta, Ga., August 7th. In discussing this question, or one of similar import, this fact must be taken into consideration; not the heights to which we hope to ascend, but the depths from whence we came. The question considered from that standpoint will show that the Negro race in America has made greater progress since, to them, came the dawn of assemblance of freedom, than has any other race of people known to the historic age. In the year 1620 a Dutch ship landed at Jamestown, Va., with a cargo of human being; black men stolen from their homes in Africa. These people were brought to this country for the purpose of teaching them Christian civilization, not for the purpose of standing shoulder to shoulder with others who had been driven from their homes by the cruelties and hardships of kingly rule. They were brought here to be sold into a slavery more degrading, more oppressive, more debasing than any the world has ever known. Other ship loads were brought in and the mercantile traffic of human souls continued until long after the infant republic was born and its projectors had proclaim ed to the world that "all men were created free and equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It is necessary in the discussion of this subject to attempt to give even an epitome of the history of American slavery. Its degrading influences are but too well known and of too recent date to be everiefaced from our minds. Reference is here made to the debasing influences of slavery to show the depths from whence we came. After two hundred and fifty years of slavery and oppression, during which period we saw the innocent babe snatched from its mother's arm and hurled into eternity, simply because the mother dared to manifest a human love for her offspring; we saw the husband and wife torn assunder by the merciless hand of the slave trader, we saw all resemblance of home and family, of hush man love and sympathy obliterated by the horrible conditions by which we were surrounded; after two hundred and fifty years, during which there were tears,shed so bitter that each drop seemed like so much life blood drawn from the heart; after two hundred and fifty years of misery, of pain and despair, mutual prayers to heaven; the angel of deliverance came and; proclaimed "freedom." What was our condition then? We had nominal freedom without any of the necessary conditions to enjoy it. We did possess one foot of land in all this broad expanse. Even the scant clothing we wore belonged to those who had but recently owned our bodies. Like the "man of Sorrows" we had not place to lay our head, Such were the depths from whence we came. But despite of seemingly helpless and hopeless circumstances we did not sit on the banks and weep, but went bravely and manfully to work often making our "bricks without straw," with the results as you see them today. What are these results? Hear the answers. According to the census of 1880 the illiteracy among our people has been reduced 45 per cent. during the past two decades, we had written and published nearly five hundred books; we had more than three hundred newspapers, three of which were issued daily; there were practicing before the various courts of the several states and the District of Columbia more than two thousand lawyers, and there were in actual practice an equal number of physicians; We had accumulated over $12,000,000 worth of school property; there were one hundred and fifty thousand farms and homes valued at about $750,000,000; and personal property valued at $185,000,000 making a total of $967,000,000. This wealth if distributed, would give to each colored man, woman and child in the United States $75. But this is not all. During the same we had raised over $10,000,000 for educational purposes alone and had thirty-two thousand teachers in the schools throughout the country. We are successfully operating several banking institutions and we are also engaged in other lines of business and trade which include one silk mill and one cotton factory. In all the various pursuits, we are meeting with remarkable success especially when viewed from the standpoint of our environments. We have built more than twenty thousand churches valued at about $550,000,000 and maintained and supported seven colleges, eighteen academies, fifty high schools, nine industrial schools, five law schools, twenty-five theological seminaries. We have acquired nearly seven hundred thousand acres of farm land in the South alone, which does not include the vast area of land tarmed on shares. Another high tribute to the business capacity of the Negro is the phenomenal increase in the output of cotton since 1860. In that year the entire production was 4,609,770 bales as against 11,235,000 bales in 1899 an increase on the output of 6,565,220 bales as the result of the thrift and industry of the Negro. This unprecedented progress has been made in face of such oppositions as would have brought desperate to the hearts of a people less brave, less courageous and less thrifty. We have been lynched, burned at the strike, driven from localities, our homes destroyed, our male citizens disfranchised, our women slandered and degraded, nearly all the avenues that lead to advancement and progress in the department of skilled labor closed against us, and yet nespite these and other disadvantages too numerous to mention, we are foregoing ahead. True "the ways of the Providence are mysterious and past finding out." Who can tell God's purpose in permitting our people to be puthlessly torn from their native soil and brought to this land; they were frequently required to make brick without straw. Who knows but in the case of the African sold into bondage to the Americans, history may repeat itself as in the case of the Israelites sold into bondage to the Egyptians. Despite the fact Israel is always spoken of as God's chosen people, it is none the less true that prior to their sojourn in Egypt, they knew but little, if any, of the arts and sciences. Architecture in all of its branches was unknown to them. They lived in tentes, and did not know how to construct the rudest dwelling. They were in many respects a race of wanderers. In Egypt, they learned of something of civilization of the dark race. They stood in admiration before the magnificent structures born of brain and skill of the Egyptian artizen. They saw great temples of learning, and supped at the intellectual feast furnished by the Alexandrian library; they set upon the banks of the Nile in silent admiration of the mighty intellect that wrought the form and features of the Sphinx. They stood with reverence awe beneath the shadow of the mighty Pyramids and looked upon these imperishable monuments of African genius. It was after their mighty deliverence that we find them displaying any knowledge of construction. In Sacred History, we are told that Moses by Divine command erected a tabernacle in the wilderness which is situated due east and west. May it not be true that God who 'moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform.' has ordained that the Hebrews by reason of their period of bondage learned the magnificent civilization of Egypt which they afterwards gave to the outer world so also may we, who were brought to this land of bondage, learn from our oppressors their arts, sciences and civilization that after we have passed through our Red bea of trouble, sorrow and disappointments, He will lead us by the rainbow of promise to that plane of moral, mental and material greatness where we will some day enrich the world with a civilization as exalted as that attained many centuries ago by our forefathers in Africa. That from us, as from taem, through countess ages, the isles and continents of thought may r save their dews and rains, and produce a luxuriant growth of science and srt unknown since the time when Egypt was the school mistress of the world. There is no better evidence of a people's material prosperity than a healthy church and religious growth. With the rapid multiplication of individual homes of beauty and comfort there are multiplied holy temples of worship, meeting places of the spirit of his blessed Redeemer, to receive His holy counsel; teaching mankind how to live to receive the everlasting reward promised by Him in the sermon on the Mount. In every city, town, village, rural district and hamlet is to be seen buildings for christian worship, many of which are splendid and costly edifices > THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.

One of the best ways to judge of the value and standing of a school is by its growth, for people who care enough about an education to patronize any school, always want the best school, therefore the best grows. The attention of the school is over the boarding department far better than the average, and the influences surrounding the pupils elevating and helpful: Of the students last session about the school, they came from a school with a Catholic and Protestant and the school, they came from a school with a Congregational families. Their religious preferences are not interfered with, and they are allowed as far as possible to attend the church selected by their parents. This is another reason why Stratford is the most honest, apologetic, and 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 five to eight and these are the Norman, the Woodworking, and the Dressmaking, Millinery, Printing and the different kinds of housework. These departments are well equipped with the necessary machines, tools, etc., and provided with experienced teachers. We know of no sinners.

About forty names were enrolled. They will meet every Thursday evening until the order is perfect. In the last issue of The Freeman the name of H. F. Scheele, a white gentleman of Stanton, Va. appears under the cut of C. President HORACE BUMSTEAD, D.D. I. Withrow, colored. Mr. Scheele wrote an article, "One-third of a Century," which was sent in by Withrow. The matter and cut was turned over to the printer with the known result. We take this earliest opportunity to correct the error and to relieve ourselves from the charge of maliciousness or gross neglect. It is one of those mistakes incident to the business. The aggrieved may feel themselves unduly sat upon, but they will occur. We hope that both gentlemen are satisfied with the correction, wherein we take total responsibility. W. R. Griffin, chief of the Cincinnati division of the True Reformers, was in the city last Sunday, and made a pleasing and instructive talk to that order at Wayman Chapel. He was accompanied by Robert D.

The order is a comparatively new one here, but the meeting Sunday showed signs of a healthy growth. The church was well filled with members who seemed devoted to the order, and who are determined it shall succeed. The credit of last Sunday's demonstration is due to Alfred Smith, the chief of the Indianapolis division.

I wish, however, to add my approval to some of the articles that I have seen in The Freeman, especially that article in which the writer spoke of the injustice that waiters had to put up with from some headwaiters in regard to buying such expensive uniforms. I admit that waiters should be clean, neat and tidy, but believe that they should be reasonably dealt with in this respect. I also think that, where a waiter has or is compelled as a requisite for a position to buy from $30 to $25 worth of uniform (regardless of what he has) in order to secure a position that pays from $18 to $35 per month is an injustice largely made possible by some headwaiters that are selfish enough to compel the side waiters to do so in order that they may make a large profit on their goods. I would not attempt to accuse all headwaiters of such conduct because there are a number of them that are above such actions, and I trust that in this progressive age that the time may soon come when fitness, ability and skill will be the standard by which waiters are measured when they apply for a position and not as it is now in some places, where the amount of uni- P. BUSINESS MEDIUM. MRS. MARTH, the world renowned and highly celebrated business and test MEDIUM, several everything. No imposition. Can be beautiful and marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also of absent, deceased and living remembers all troubles and eatrage increases any medium who can expect her in her life. Every present and future event in one's life. Remember, she will not, for any price, flatter you, your success. She can be consulted on all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, with description of future companion. She will be consulted on all affairs of friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon such change in business, journeys, lawsuits, change in business, lives, and speculation is valuable and reliable. She withholds destiny good or bad; she withholds nothing. MARTH tells your entire life—past, present, and future—in a DEAD TRANSORE, the power of future, the power of love, 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 sister, if you have a future husband, the name of your young man who now calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage, whether you manage your home or will marry—whether you are married to someone who presents your sweetheart will try to you and if he will marry you; if you have a sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have a marriage, and the name of your acquaintance. ALL YOUR FUTURE will be in an honest, clear, plain manner and in a manner that their should know the success of their husbands, should know the success of their husbands, should know everything about their sweetest or mended husbands. Do not keep any marriage, or marry or into business until you know all the religious sorpreses present your consulting. Your name is the only one in the world who can fulfill a FULL NAME of your future husband, who will be the one you love is true or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting the truth, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth, only from the lack of discrimination that only comes from the lack of discrimination that not everyone who placards himself or herself is a Medium that can stand a test of what he believes. And a person of any enquiring mind should not be allowed to believe that these advisers do not take the trouble to study human nature. They do not spend the time for a moment with acquiring the art of technology and kindred branches that will have to deal with the realities of the road of the business clear and devoid of obstacles. They are undatable fact that people will come for advice in-full knowledge when they want to know, and yet as soon as they attend a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they know. To set the secret out of a person by "pumping," in no few cases, is the art used by unprincipiated Mediums, but to use hold of the mind and gain control of the mind there, is a matter of experience, and yet this can be done, and by consulting the MARH this seeming mystery becomes real. This subject has received no little attention by student men and even college professors that proves conclusively that although there are students in our midst with "oily tongues," perhaps we of wisdom have not been closed to the earth. Take a great deal of study to become an accomplished Medium, and by a continuous and effort, the key to the well of apparently unachievable mysteries have been procured by Mr. M. B. MARTH.

THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER formjone will buy is largely the standard by which they are employed. Then, sidewaters, there is a great responsibility on us. We must be reliable, neat, punctual, trustworthy and progressive in our chosen work, and not know too much to accept new rules and customs of service. We must be orderly and obedient to our superior officers, and, above all, refined toward the guest we serve. The most of us would like to see the colored waiters succeed along the lines of success and progress in this work. Now let us, each one of us, try to be as individuals just what we would like to see the Negro waiters. As a whole, be as what is true of individuals is true in a large measure of races and nations (exceptions, of course, to all rules) because individuals make races and nations. Trusting that this may be the means of causing some one to think of these small things and thereby improve on them, as "trifles make perfection and perfections are no trifles." Wish success to the Negro race in general and the Negro waiter in particular. JAMES F. ADAUR. Mr. James Gibbs, the popular headwaiter at the Grand Hotel, of this city, left a few days ago for Atlantic City, N. J., and other Eastern resorts on his annual vacation. Mr. Gibbs is well known in hotel circles throughout the [Name] middle West and is much admired by the members of the craft. He has been an "old ace" at the Grand Hotel for a number of years, and as a disphinarlan his suelor is not found in Hooslerdom. Value of Determination. I am aware of the fact that articles of this nature has previously been promluged in these columns, and I sincerely hope that there will be an immense amount of such articles for publicity in the future. As my sentiments lead me to believe that the painstaking, progressive, rising generation of waiters will highly approve of such valuable instructions being deeply considered. May it ever be remembered that a man is what he makes himself. If one desires prominence in their profession they must possess the go-ahead ability. Determination has quite as much means or opportunity to do with giving one success. If a man is determined to do he will be likely to do whether things favor or oppose him. If a man fully makes up his mind that, as things are, he cannot do what he ought to do or would like to do, he will not be likely to accomplish anything; however circumstances combine to help him. "Only omnipotence can hinder a determined man," and omnipotence will not oppose a determined man who is set in the right direction. It is not the opportunity that a man has or the tools that are available to him, but it is the determination with which he pushes on against unfavorable circumstances, and with which he uses such tools as are available, that settles the question of how much he amounts to and what he accomplishes in life. So my advice to each and every individual is to possess a determination. Whatever capacity of life you may enter go in with a determination to become master. Essential Things that are Omitted by Many Waiters that are Necessary to Accomplish Service. May the following facts impress upon the minds of those who participate in this field of labor, as such incidents are surely prejudicial in our profession: The waiter who possesses a practical knowledge of his profession and does not substantiate the same in a perfect manner is of less advantage to any es tablishment than the waiter with practically no experience and is apt and produces a willing, polite disposition at all times. Many waiters accidentally drop an article of food or a piece of silver and acts as though it was a mere trifle. Some waiters appropriate newspapers, etc., when left on their table by the visitors, when, on the other hand, any article left on their table should be presented to the headwaiter immediately. Some waiters are subject to counting their little change in the presence of guests which attracts their attention and causes them to have different thoughts The principal traveling public now believe that a waiter receives considerable sums in tips. Such may be true in the Waldorf, Astoria and other unique hostleries, as they have "Oscar" headwaiters in the above named hotels, an adviser of a school known among hotel circles as "Oscar's school for waiters" He informed his pupil, in a recent lecture, that if one is up to his profession he can easily make $100 or $150 per month extra, but name the house that accepts colored waiters service and such phenomenal charity is accorded them. Pool and Billiard Parlor 1323 Market Street, St. Louis, Mo Newly refitted with the latest improved "Boston" and "Edison" Electric Cushions. No saloon in connection. Strictly first-class. One is exceptionally fortunate if he makes $10 or $15 per month. So, boys, count your little change in the darkness of the guest. Many waiters, after serving soup and fish, will proceed out for dinner orders without presenting Worcestershire sauce for fish and other necessary articles to complete their orders are often omitted. Some waiters often fail to present finger-bowls. After serving fruit again many waiters get up a tree (rattied) and will present guest a finger-bowl that contains water that has previously used, and will introduce many other imperfect habits and consider that they are getting by. Many times the guest has to ask for the second glass or water, ice tea, butter, milk, etc., when a waiter should be prompt and polite in offering such things. The visitors oftimes are emphatic in asking for a napkin. Waiters should bare in mind that it is incumbent that they should produce every practical effort to make the guest enjoy their meals. Some waiters, after clearing off soiled dishes, will proceed out with them before crumbling their table off. Some know-all waiters remove glasses, etc., from their table by putting their fingers in them, and will polish glasses and silver with a napkin, and do an immense number of other improper things. Old aces in many hotels place a claim on different articles applied to the table they have been assigned too (my oil bottle, my sugar bowl, my salt and pepper shaker, my water bottle, etc.) To merely claim such articles and properly care for them would be all right, but some of them are ignorant enough to mark up the proprietor's property. Again, they will fight their co-partners about these things. Every waiter should remember that they find these supplies in a notel, and they will surely go and leave them there unless they appropriate them. In my opinion we will never regain our lost titles or successfully demonstrate our capabilities to the fraternity and the public in general until we be more loyal to our profession and fellowmen and discontinue all such prejudicial ideas as getting by. Boys, you are never getting by successfully unless you perform your duty in every detail perfectly. Another important fact is this: If each waiter was criticised by the public for his individual faults every "tub would then stand on its own bottom," but generally this is not true. The actions of one or two waiters causes the entire crew to be remarked upon, saying the waiters at such and such hotel instead of saying one or two of the waiters. This is true among our race in general. We are all criticised as one. Truly the colored waiters are capable of doing, but will they do. Many of them do not regard their position to much extent, consequently they will not omit some of their good times and be true and punctual to their profession. While thinking of their previous dates they will surely omit their duties, considering they are getting by, good time being regarded of more importance than where they receive their bread and money. Now let a waiter of such nature be in the street, and he will pay the headwaiter many visits, making himself a nuisance by asking the headwaiter—'Captain, can I get on with you; captain, have you an opening,' etc. Men, regard your job when you have one above all social functions; develop the idea that you cannot get by until you have met all requirements of the establishment in which you are engaged.

PADUCAH THE MECCA The Baptists, which meet in convention in Paducah, Ky., this month, will endeavor to raise $3,500 for the general needs of the church and schools Rev. John Frank, moderator, has worked zeasoniously throughout the year towards securing the greatest sum which the convention has ever had hopes of raising. He has met a little opposition, but as in business, it simply gave greater life to the movement and it would be no great surprise if the $3,500 should be forthcoming. The Moderator, Dr. Frank, editor, is a publication, small in dimensions, but herculean in the accomplishment of tasks, has been no small instrument in creating and maintaining the general enthusiasm and rounding up the recalcitrants. Rev. Frank, according to his own statement, will lay down the gavel, but he has said that before, and as there are no limitations as to the tenure of office so it may be that he will not be allowed to doff his official toga this year and most assuredly not if he reaches the $3,500 mark. Among the prominent ones mentioned to succeed him are Drs. Purce and Smith. It is said that Dr. Frank, if he had the naming of his successor, would choose Dr. Purce. Dr. Frank thinks there should be a clean sweeping of offices this year along with himself, but Wm. H. Steward, who has been so long and so efficiently the secretary, thinks that the convention should be free and undictated in its actions in the matter. The position of secretary is fairly lucrative, paying a small salary and controls the printing. The attempt to dislodge Steward last year was vigorous until the votes were counted; Steward got them. Mr. Steward owns a publishing plant and knows no reason why he should not print minutes, resolutions, etc., as well as any one else. The convention promises to be spectacular this year in spite of the determination to raise the largest sum of money that has ever been raised. The moderatorship is being watched with the keenest interest, also the position of secretary. Dr. Frank has almost unbounded influence, and it is this only that is opposed. Those who are looking for places and honor do not care to see him use it, knowing full well what it means. However, Dr. Frank is but human and it is more than likely that the greater offices will be controlled by him. The chances are that Dr. Purce will be moderator and a compromise on Steward for secretary. Crawford Jerome White, a bellman of the Midland Hotel, Kansas City, is in a hospital of that city owing to the result of his resolution to eat one meal a day for one hundred days. Mr. White is fifty-one years old, and recently felt a decline in health, which he attributed to too much eating. He flew in the face of the verdict of the world which declares that three meals a day and then some are necessary to sustain the physical man, declaring that one meal was a "sufficiency." He carried out his one meal program, which was frugal enough—a couple of slices of toast, a cup of coffee, tea or glass of milk—which he took at 11:30 a.m. sharp. He grew weaker under the severe regimen. His friends tried to persuade him to increase his food allowance, but he refused, insisting that he was getting better, much better. After having finished his one hundred days he began to take more nourishment, but it was too late. He was compelled to give up his work because he was physically incapacitated owing to his self imposed starvation. It will be only a question of time as to the end of his fatal illness. Mr. White was a bellman at the Plankinton Hotel, Milwaukee, Wis., for twenty-two years. When he first organized his squad of bell boys at the Midland, White taught them a valuable lesson one day. He noticed a small piece of paper lying on the floor near the cigar case. Calling the boys around him he solemnly THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. pointed to the paper and asked: "Boys, what are dat obstacle in the path of cleanliness portrayed yonder?" The boys understood and made a concerted dash for the paper. When it had been removed Crawford straightened up and said: "Well did, boys, I war testin' you." The Freeman notes with pleasure that Hon, John C. Dancy, the new recorder of deeds, has recognized Indiana by placing in his office our worthy young fellow townsman, R. W. Thompson. A choice more satisfactory to this community could not have been made, and congratulations are due both gentlemen upon assuming a relationship that cannot be other than agreeable and profitable to both. Mr. Thompson has held a number of official stations here and in Washington, and in each he has acquired himself with credit and distinction. He is familiar with the details of the work in the recorder's office, having served there under Mr. Cheatham prior to entering the census bureau, from which he was recently retired by reason of a necessary reduction in the force. It is understood that Mr. Thompson retains the associate editorship of the Colored American, in which journal his "fine Italian hand" is very conspicuous, and where he is unquestionably doing the best general newspaper service of his life. Mr. Thompson's occasional letters to The Freeman have been greatly enjoyed by our readers everywhere, and we hope to hear from him frequently upon facts and fancies as they appear to one close to the eddying currents of Washington life. The National Negro Business League meets a Richmond, Va., August 25, 20 and 27. This meeting promises to be the most interesting of all held so far. It is a notable fact that the colored people are turning their attention to business as a means of employing the unemployed, the most practical and certain way of helping along the race cause. The Business League has been an instrument in turning the minds of men with means and ability in the proper channel. The Detroit Informer has some good things to say of Bishop Grant, who has been attending the A. M. E. Literary Congress held at Bethel church of that city. It says: The presiding officer, Bishop Grant, impressed us as a man emultently qualified for his high position. He seems not only possessed of deep piety, but is also free from the common placeness which, too often, jaws upon the feelings of cultured people, and lessens their respect for the office of the man who indulges in such, even though he is a bishop. An agricultural and industrial conference will be held at Alexandria, Va., September 22 and 23. It will seek to help the colored mechanic, farmer and those otherwise industrially engaged along the lines of their chosen occupations. The advisability of holding a great agricultural and industrial fair in 1903 will also be discussed. As the best representative of governments by colored men Hayti should get better. If Haytian sons are educated in Paris to better learn how to break up their governments they had better stay at home and saw wood. One of the rooms of the William McKinley Industrial School of Alexandria, Va., has been named in honor of Dr. William H. Johnson, of New York, for his zeal in supporting the institution. WILLIAM H. PIERCE. The above is a very excellent likeness of William H. Pierce, better known as Willie Pierce, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Pierce of 1207 Senate avenue. He is a product of the common and high schools of this city, where he has spent his twenty-six years of life. After leaving school he learned the tailor's trade, in which business he continued for five years. He took politics, serving in both city and county offices, where he was noted for his efficiency. When Mr L. G. Akin, present County Keyorder, was elected to that office in 1898, he selected Mr Pierce as one of his deputies, where he still holds forth. In his position he has made an enviable record, his employer, Mr. Akin, considering him the best book-type writer clerk in the office. He writes from fifty to sixty words a minute on an average, which is amazingly rapid when one stops to think that it means a word a second Mr. Akin has been given much and deserved praise for giving the young colored man an opportunity to operate one of the machines in his office. Mr. Pierce, who, by the way, is the youngest colored man in a political position as clerk, has demonstrated to the satisfaction of his employer his efficiency and general worthiness. As a representative of his race he has proven worthy of the confidence imposed in him, reflecting credit on himself as well. In the whirligig of politics office holders may come and go, but like Tennyson's brook, so far as the colored people are concerned, Mr. Pierce can go on forever. He is a pianist of merit and moves in good social circles. Charles W. Hines of Cleveland, O., lectured at the Second Baptist Church last Sunday evening to an audience that tested the capacity of the house. Mr. Hines framed the bill recently introduced in the Senate by Senator Kean of New Jersey which has for its object the protection of the Negro in the exercise of his election franchise. Mr. Hines is opposed to the Crumpacker resolutions in that they legalize disfranchisements. He left for Connersville, Ind., where he lecture Monday night. Miss Minnie Ervin and Robert Clemons are convalescing. Misses Verna Price and Flora Howard were in india anapolis last Sunday. Mrs. Sarah A.

Grand Rally Sunday Week Memphis, Tenn., Special.—A grand rally of vast importance and one not soon to be erased from the mental canvas of beautifying collors, was the one held at Avery Chapel last Sunday. The golden sunset leaves a scene of grandeur in its wake not soon forgotten, so it was with this rally. One of the main features was that of The Monarchs, a noble body of young men: Edward Briggs, president; Tom white, vice president and Frank Davis, Secretary presenting the church with one hundred cool dollars. President Buttler of Compbell College, addressed the young men in glowing terms, which like blood will leave a lasting stain. He was responded to by Prof. James, a young Napolean of knowledge, who also made the presentation speech, which was responded to by R-v William Flagg. Large crowes were present both morning and night. The cooks and waiters of the city were also very liberal in their donations which can not be too warm y commended. Every member of this congregation endowed to come to the front and to be found on the fireing line. Happenings in Muncie Municle Ind. Special—Miss Ratsa Ware is ill with typhoid fever at her home in Whitley. Rufus King died at his home on East First street of typhoid fever. The remains will be intered at Richmond Ind. He leaves a wife and child, mother and sisters to mourn his loss. He was an accomplished musician. The family has the sympathy of many friends. The Woman's Mite Missionary society gave an entertainment Monday evening afterwhich refreshments were served. The Anderson band to-gather with the Municle Eagle band, gave a joint entertainment Tuesday evening Aug. 5. The A M E. church furnished the refreshments for the occasion. The Arnett club will give a reception Aug. 11, at the A. M. E. church. This club is trying to raise money to purchase an art window for the A. M. E. church. The church is to be remodeled soon. Second Baptist church gave a band social Monday evening. The Second Baptist S picon at Cummins's grove last Thursday, was well attended. erected out of the earnings and financing of the American black man and the many and oostly institutions of learning established and maintained from the same source. The many mutual benefit associations providing for the sickness, for burial and the payment of endowment after death is another source of material prosperity of the race which is not considered in estimating the black man's welfare. There are institutions of necessity, the organization and maintenance of which have engaged some of the best brain, financial skill and integrity of the race. Besides adding much to relieve the slbk by paying sick benefits and assuming burial expenses, these benefit associations pay to the legal representatives of a deceased member a sum, which in many instances, constitutes a large percentage of their worldly possessions, of which the Stringer Grand Lodge of Free Masons of Mississippi excel. But as one of the general officers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church it may not be amiss for me to present some figures showing the membership, numerical strength of church and valuation of church property: Under the holy guidance of thirteen consecrated bishops 12 faithful general officers, 6,343 self-sacrificing ministers of God, 16,226 studious local preachers, 88,354 loyal communicant members, 88,000 earnest probationists, 490 328 officers, teachers and scholars, 1 659,765 adherents, a total of 2 259,671. We also have 5 115 churches, 2,075 parsonages, 41 universities, seminaries and high schools valued at $10 360,000, which shows the progress and development of this branch of Methodism. The A. M. E. church is a perfect government in all its ramification which the immortal Charles Summer once said, "it was demonstrating that the colored people were capable of self government." E. W. LAMPTON. D. D. Financial Sec'y A. M. E. Church. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Brother A. S. Beard and several others presented the pastor with a silk hat. Mrs. S. E. Porter, in behalf of the Missionary Society, presented the pastor $5 on his outing. The congregations last Sunday at the quarterly meeting, were good, and in the afternoon we were pleased to have Rev. M. Coleman, pastor of Allen Chapel, preach for us. Harry Vaughn was received into full membership at last Sunday night's service. The trustees are hustling for the third Sunday rally; there is quite a contest as to leadership in reporting the largest amount on that day. Each trustee will be given a chair between Bethlehem and will have an outing at an early date. The quarterly collection amounted to $83.15; amount paid pastor this quarter $650; benevolence $17.35; trustee collections, $250.

'We are still in the Golden West, digging gold coin from the various managers. This week we are digging 15 Golden Eagles from manager Burch of Casino Theatre in this city and he was mean enough to re-engage us for next week-'Ain't That A Shame' 'Twas very cold here this week, the mercury only went up to 116 in the shade. Tuesday till Friday it was 110. To-day it is 85. There are no cold artists in town except ourselves, so I can't save anything except, we closed a ten week's engagement at Los Angeles, Sunday past and the manager made my wife, Kate Milton, a present of a handsome diamond ring as a token of his estimation of her as an artist. I have also an offer to take a company of 15 or 17 people to Manilla for a 12 month's run on the Escoda Plaza and I may except it. Regards to Tom Logan, J. Harry Jackson and all friends. We play Sacramento with Stockton to follow then San Francisco Chutes. --- Notes from A. G. Allen's Minstrels.—"We met Tett's circus in South Boston. We also played Salem, where we had a full house. That foreoon, C. H. Williams, J. F. Cox and B. G. Brooks were the guest of Mr. and Mrs C. H. Russell a prominent family of that place. That afternoon the same three men went riding in a rubber tired trap with one of the most wealthy men in that section of the country Mr Grant Smith (colored) who runs and owns the largest undertaker's establishment there and another at High Point. He is also a great lover of good shows and is thuking strongly of organizing a strong comedy company. He subscribed for The Freeman. After the show the three clubs were thrown open to the boys. Arant met some of his relations and a host of friends. We played Greensboro N. G. Monday, to S R O He C. H. Williams and J. T. Cox met two more of the r warm friends, Dr. W. S Craig proprietor of the Peadmont Hotel and J. W Emerson, who owns one of the lar- gest (white) barbershops there and is manager of the colored club. These gentlemen spared nothing to make things pleasant for us. Augustus Stevens, our female impersonator is rapidly improving and we hope will soon be himself again. He sends best wishes to all friends. Ben Bow sends regards to M. Prince. W. Grant would like to hear from Tom Logan. Chas Rue sends regards to Geo. Horace. Sank Simus regards to W H. Homes, T. P.

The "Honolulu Coon" company will start rehearsals about Aug. 27. The attraction will positively be the best colored organization on the road. The three advance agents will bill the cities like a circus. Manager Shayne has contracted with the printers for 19 different kinds of paper. Many acts will have special lithographs. A car has been bought for $2,400 cash. The management expects to meet with good success. --- Notes from the Oregon Pacific Carnival company—Owing to a poor advance agent we were compiled to cancel ten days booking, but the route will be covered. The colored contingent, however were instantly in demand upon their return to Portland, Ore. Messrs Richard Robinson and Frederick Vaughn were called to Astoria, Oregon for a week's engagement and Cissel, Mines and Bumpy, J. R. Garnett and James H. Gray were engaged in Blazzer's Concert Garden in Portland, opening with a minstrel first part. In the oilo, little Bumpy's specialty dancing and skirt dance being a feature. We can truthfully say she is one of the clearest child artists before the public to day. Miss Mines and J. H. Gray in duetts "Life's Dream is O'er," and "Holy City" were a big surprise. Clarence Cissel in a monomologue was a success as usual. The show concluded with a burlesque on the doings of the celebrated outlaw. Tracy. Mr. Cissel takes the part of Tracy; Mr Garnett impersonating Anderson; Mines. Little Bumpy and Gray representing the Johnson family. The sketch was a hit from beginning to end. Next week we return to the Carnival company to resume our season's work. Regards of the company to all friends. --- The Donglass Club, on the corner of Michigan and Wood streets, of which Mr. Lewis is manager is undergoing a complete renovation. Carpenters painters, paper hangers and other arti- MR EDWARD LEWIS Manager of Douglass Club Indianapolis zans have been at work on the inside and outside of the club building for weeks. When the work is completed Indianapolis will have one of the sweetest club houses controlled by colored men in this country and one to which the members can invite their best friend and associates The club is conducted on the membership plan which according to Mr. Lewis will keep down an objectionable membership. The club seeks to afford a place of harmless amusement for the better class of men and for the entertainment of strangers of note. The club will be formerly opened on Tuesday, Aug. 12, afternoon and evening, with good music, singing and vaudeville. --- Notes from the Famous Georgia Minster ales—We are proud to say the show has lost none of its former prestige and with its roster can wend its way along the minstrel shores without any extra effort or struggle. The company was warmly greeted at Butte, Mont, and our press notices were simply grand. We gave them a great show. While we are not ashamed of our band, it being composed of the very best of timber, the number is not sufficient to make one grand chord in the Overtures we used to play or on any standard stuff Harvey Holmes runs a first-class club in Butte. He is an ex-professional man and certainly treats the profession right. Both he and his wife are highly respect by this company and are deserving of all the attention that can be given them by the profession. Mr and Mrs Holmss made our stay in Butte more than pleas ant and we only wish the major portion of our Sundays could be spent in their midst. Our whole company sends regards and wish them every success. The Butte Press claims that the greatest attracton on in our parade is our handsome drum crops; they being nearly one size and height, walking alike and their handsome uniforms, make them easily carry off first honors in the parade. Aunt Nancy's Wedding Day still continues to rob the oll of press comments having in it such people as Dick Thomas, Dave Smith, Kid Langford and Hoss Cameron. I only add. If it comes near you, come and see them'. Wm. Shields in hoop jugging is a leader in his line and adds tricks daily, to his act, that are unknown to the profession. Mr. Edward Tolliver, our monologue artist gets his with perfect ease in no matter what territory we go. The Ronsely Bros. have improved their act in a manner perfectly indescribable. At this period they act stands without a peer Our ventriloquist. Mr. J. W. Cooper, whom in all the cities the press claims is worth the price of admission, is certainly proving a wonder. The dialect used in his act is far superior to that ever heard in an act of this kind, while it is full of comedy and wilt. Then comes our troupe of Arabian wonders in their act which is not like any former act ever witnessed in their line of work. This act is marvelous, a perfect gymnasium on the stage. The big trio heels well and sends regards to James Laoy Wm. Hedgepath, George Bally and Piccolo Jones. All write and let us know what is doing in the East and North east. --- Napoleon Johnson writes from the Big Minstrel Festival: —We started on our 28th annual tour from Benton Harbor, Mich., July 26.h. With the company this season will be seen many new races with only two or three old time favorites. Our genial managers, Messrs. Rusco & Holland have not spared either pains or money and under the direction of S. H. Dudley as stage manager we will have one of the best shows on the road Our comedians headed by Billy Kersands, the world's greatest, grandest and oldest minstrel are as follows: Bones Clarence Powell, Fred Campbell, Sol Tibbs and E. S. Taylor. Tambos, S. H. Dudley, D. B Kelley, A. Brown and T. W. Parrish, J. E Lightfoot, conversationalist In the circle the following prominent voices may be heard: J. Brown, Eddie Harris and Napoleon Johnson, tenors; J. E Lightfoot and A. J. Smith, bartones; R. C Logan and Sol Tibbs, basses. In the ollo will be seen the great Sig. Romando, Filipino magician and wonder worker; Clarence Powell, the mirth producer; the colored acrobats. Taylor and Brown; the comedy boomers, by Dudley and Kelley; the six Campbell Belles, eccentric singers and dancers; Harry Kraton, the marvelous hoop controller; the peer of all colored comedians, Billy Kersands The whole concludes with S. H. Dudley's langable face, "The Darktown Ping Pong Club. Our band numbers nineteen people which makes our street parade majestic. Our first concert given at Benton Harbor Mich, was as follows: March, From Tropi to Tropi by Alexander; Medley selection from Von Tilzer popular airs; Trombone solo, selected Fred Simpson; March, Tuskegee cadets by Wm Blue; Two Thomas Cats (grateeses) by Smith. Wm Blue, cornet soloist and band master, judging from the number of ovations he receives daily is proving a winner. The orchestra is under the leadership of Prof. Will Malone and the way they follow the performer, we have nothing to fear from that department. Sol Tibbs, who was taken slick during rehearsals and was sent to Chicago, joined us Friday much improved. Regards to No 2 company. ... Notes from P. G. Lowery's Concert Band and Vandueville: "All's well that enks well." The members of the company are determined to make this ourrowing season. The big show is headed for the West. We left a fine impression in the East Dominion of Canada. P. G. is fast arranging for his winter attraction. He has engaged a few of his old reliable band men. He expects to have the best band he has ever directed. The company will number about 25 One band of 18 first-class musicians; only one private car and live well. A L. Prince, the new stage manager with Lowery's Vaudeville has made quite a change in the program. Arthur Willmore is making a decided hitt singing the "Phrenologist Coon" Prentice Oliver, well deserves the title as comedian. His originality and earnest work will always keep him on top. John L Jones sends regards to Fred Simpson, Harry Jackson and all New York Friends. He says, "Boys, the city of white is good enough for me," Jack Watkins is engaged as tenor soloist in the Cathedral choir with P. G. Winter attraction. Mr Chas. Stewart an old employee of the 4 Paw-Sells Shows came to the show with 63 working men from Columbus, O, and will remain a few days and take charge of his brother's business and allow Johnnie to go to his home in Chicago for a few days rest. We highly appreciate Charley's business qualities but we can't spare John long. The only real things with the show are Charley Payne's English Bull pups. D. Lowery is preparing to visit friends when he gets near Chicago Prof. Gso. F. Dansford remarks "While viewing the parade of the Forepang and Sells Bros circus I was attracted by the playing of a colored band which upon inquiry I learned was Prof. P G Lowery I have heard bands and have been a band leader myself for a number of years, but Prof Lowery has got the best colored band I have ever heard. They are the feature of the parade Mr. Thos. McIntyre, one of the business managers of the show after returning from a boat ride in Ithica, N. Y., and desiring some refreshment entered Morton and Peter's colored restaurant He has the following to say: "I was surprised at the first-class service and hope that all colored restaurants will pattern after this one, then there will be more demand for them.

Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers' united shows are exploiting a feature this season which eclipses in point of sheer daring anything ever attempted in any arena. It is the famous Diavalo in his "looping the loop" on a bicycle, an act which created the profoundest sensation in New York City and Philadelphia, and elicited more praise and was given more space in the metropolitan press than any single act ever presented to the public. Looping the loop is described as danger deriding and death defying, which is as near correct as words can make it. From the extreme height of the canvas dome Diavalo makes a thrilling descent down the narrow plane on a bicycle and the momentum thus gained carries him around the loop at a terrific rate of speed. At the top of the loop both rider and wheel are upside down and going at the rate of forty miles an hour. If a hair raising act and one that all should see, as it gives a practical demonstration of the first scientific lesson of youth—the swinging in a circle of a bucket full of water without spilling. The date of the show here is Wednesday, August 13. As you stroll down Indiana avenue, stop at 226 and watch the new game Box Ball, played; a new game for ladies and g ents. Two can play for 5 cents. More the merrier. Fine cigars, ice cold sodas and ice cream. M. R. POLLOM. Every one almost has seen a circus as it appears from a seat in the tent, but there are few who have traveled with the company day and night, studied the inner life of the circus folk and the thousand details that make up the organization of a modern circus. The August Cosmopolitan's article "The Organization of a Modern Circus," elaborately illustrated with photos specially taken by the Cosmopolitan's staff photographer, reads to the layman like a chapter from the Arabian nights. Much has been written about how America's millionaires accumulate wealth in their business hours, but little has been said about how these interesting individuals spend their millions in their hours of leisure. The Angust Cosmopolitan's illustrated article on "Diversions of Some Millionaires." gives an interesting view of this side of the millionaire's life. Interesting Topics. Mineola, Tex. Special—We are having plenty of rain in the South now, but it is too late for corn. Cern is a failure in some places. Cotton is good and we will have plenty of it to pick.
