TUSKEGEE HONORED BY THE PRESENCE OF MISS SUSAN B. ANTHONY AND PARTY. SEVERAL ADDRESSES DELIVERED By Members of the August Delegation Which were Replete with Encoument and Good Cheer-Emmett J. Scott as Master of Ceremonies. TUSKEGEE, ALA., March 30.—Yesterday was a notable epoch in the history of Tuskegee Institute. The school was honored by a visit from the famous Miss Susan B. Anthony, whose advocacy of universal suffrage and equality of citizenship has made her name a household word the world over, and a distinguished party of ladies returning North from the recent meeting of the National Woman's Suffrage convention held at New Orleans. The delegation made a careful inspection of the buildings and grounds during their stay, noting the work of the students in the various industries, and expressed themselves as delighted with the energy, hopefulness of spirit and perfection of detail evidenced in all the departments of the school. Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock exercises were held in the handsome and commodious Chapel, the teachers, officers and the entire student body being present, making in all an audience not fewer than 1,500 persons. The welcome accorded Miss Anthony was warm and enthusiastic to the last degree, a sea of snowy handkerchiefs greeting her with the "Chautauqua salute" when she arose to begin her address. Had it not been the Sabbath day, the students were prepared to make the welkin ring with their college yell and other unmistakable demonstrations of joy. Miss Anthony is a delightful talker—strong, eloquent, witty, unequivocal and convincing—and beyond her silvery hair—shows the small indications of the fact that she has passed the four-score milestone, in point of years. Her speech of about thirty minutes was rich in historical reminiscences touching the grand humanitarian work of Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass and Gerritt Smith, and she earnestly testified that the wonderful establishment at Tuskegee, with its wide and widening opportunities for educational development, was the finite realization of the fondest dreams of the abolitionists who had suffered much and sacrificed without limit, in their efforts to uplift the Negro people. She paid a beautiful tribute to the life, character and labors of Frederick Douglass, and spoke touchingly of his estimable wife and family, and of the marvelous influence exerted by his servil oratory in the destruction of the foul institution of slavery. She invoked the blessing of the Almighty upon the splendid work in progress at Tuskegee, and wished for each student and instructor a bright and useful future. She placed particular emphasis upon the helpful influence that women had exerted and were continuing to exert upon the activities of the world in mind and in morals. Interesting addresses in an encouraging strain were made by Miss Emily Howland, of Sherwood, N. Y.; Miss Harriet May Mills, state organizer of the woman suffrage cause in New York, and by Dr. Marcea S. Ricker and Miss Mary S. Anthony, of Rochester, N. Y. The story of woman's struggle for educational freedom, her fight for industrial liberty and now her contention for a voice in the government of which she is a part, was told most effectively by Miss Mills. The music, under the direction of E. N. Broadnax, was exceedingly well rendered by the choir and student cherus, embracing selections varying from the stately "Halleigh Chorus" to the jubilee melodies of "Swing Low Sweet Charlot," and "I'm Going to Join the Heavenly Choir" type, all of which were greatly enjoyed by the visitors. At the conclusion of the program, the girls, by request of Miss Anthony, passed in review before her, and each received a hearty hand shake from the illustrious benefactress. In the absence of Principal Washington, the responsible duty of superintending the arrangements and presiding over the assemblage developed upon Mr. Emmett J. Scott, his very capable and painstaking private secretary. Mr. Scott acquitted himself like a veteran, mastering the delicate situation with credit and distinction. His superb management of affairs, his clean cut, dignified and graceful statement of the day's significance, and his happy introduction of the speakers contributed in the largest measure to the success of the occasion. He filled the place of Principal Washington with an ease and confidence that bespoke the versatility and reserve power that have combined to make Mr. Scott so valuable an adjunct to Tuskegee's illuminating force. The social features of the visit of the delegation were admirably cared for by Mrs. B. T. Washington and Mrs. Warren Logan, assisted by several of the talented and accomplished members of the teaching corps. In Miss Anthony's party, besides those already mentioned, there were: Dr. Mary D, Hussey, East Orange, N, J; Mrs. O. B, Webber, Rochester, N, Y; Miss Agnes Tierney, Germantown, Penn; the Misses Willett, Miss Thirkield and Mrs. George H. Taylor, New York City. The presence and encouraging words of these eminent ladies were a pleasure and an inspiration in which all connected with Tuskegee Institute shared to the fullest extent. R. W. T.

THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. fe ’ ee IN i a Sy) \\ j > Ww SNPs ys wD ®@ Mrs. Tupman, a prominent lady of Richmond, Va, a great sufferer with woman's troubles, tells of her cure by ‘ 4 y Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dzan Mns, Prvkitaa:— For some years I suffered with backache, severe bearing-down pains, leucorrhoea, and falling of the womb. I tried many remedies, but noting gave any positive relief, “Tcommenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound in June, 1901, When I had taken the first half bottle, I felt a vast im. provenine, and have now taken ten bottles with the result that I feel ike a new woman. When I commenced taking the Vegetable Com- pound I felt all worn out and was fast approaching complete nervous collapse. I weighed only 98 pounds. Now I weigh 1098 pounds and am improving every day. I gladly testify to the benefits received.”— Mrs, R. C. Torwax, 423 West 30th St, Richmond, Va. ‘When a medicine has been successful in more than a million cases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying it, “I do not believe it would help me” ? Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and discour- aged, exhausted with each day’s work. You have some derange- ment of the feminine orgax:ism, and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound will help you just as surely as it has others. Mrs. W. H. Pelham, Jr., 108 E. Baker St., Richmond, Va., says: “Dear Mrs. Prrknam :—I must say that I do not believe there is any female medicine to compare with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound, and J return to you my heartfelt thanks for Bm" what your medicine has done for me. Before tem taking the Vegetable Compound I was so badly = es off that I thought I could not live mu G longer. The little work I had to do was a = P burden to me.

It has stood the test of time, and it has hundreds of thousands of cures to its credit. Women should consider it unwise to use any other medicine. Mrs. Pinkham, whose address is Lynn, Mass., will answer cheer fully and without cost all letters addressed to her by sick women. Perhaps she has just the knowledge that will help your case— try her to-day — it costs nothing. $5000 SOU ERUTELI, whieh will prove their absolute peuimences, See yae's. Piatra Medicine Co.

Dr. Booker T, Washington in Trenton Editor of The Freeman—Thureday, April 2, 1908, will long be remembered byl classes in Trenton, N. J., as a day of unusal interest and significance. It had been announced by the papers of our city for some weeks that Brooker T.

He arrived on schedale time and was at once taken in charge by the best white citizens of the place. and was the guest of one of the wealthiest families on State street. At the hour named fifteen hundred stu- dents greeted him at the anditorium of the State school building. He was ac- companied to this building by many of the most distinguished men in the olty. In bis address at the school he said, among other telling things, “You can lift the burden of the Negro. Kind words will help him, and so doing you lift yourself and become more Christ like. The Negro problem Is the nation’s problem becanse the nation is responsi- ble for it.” The “Trenton Times” said of this ad- dress: “When Dr. Washington con- cluded he was greeted with applaure lond and long. He had made another great speech for his race, and by prac- tical discussion had aroused sympathy which is bound to branch from the fif- teen hundred hearts in which it is con- tained.” In the afternoon he visited the “‘Iron- sides School” at Bordentown end de- livered another address. This is a col- ored institution supported by the State of New Jersey. The Aesoctation hal] was crowded at 8 o'clock to hear him, and I am free to say I never saw an audience more absolutely under the control of @ speaker. I have had the pleasure of hearing him a number of times, but never heard him when he seemed to be more at home with bis subject, nor when his consciousness of the invuinerability of his position on the Negro problem was more evident. Trentonians are much more awake as to the identity of interests involved in this tremendous question, The sym- pathy of the white people is quickened while the colored people are much {n- spired. The doctor left at 10 o'clock Thursday night for New York, but the people and the press of this city are still discussing the revelation made BR.

This Association, consisting of members in all parts of the United States, among other things has for its ebief object the purchase of a Steamship for Emigration and Commercial pur- poses, They havealready in hand near- ly thirty thousand dollars, and propose toraise the balance by selling ship stock, and place the vessel upon the ocean for travel and commerce. The members and friends of the organization regard this the greatest project of the Negro since emancipation, and that it is dee- tined to accomplish more for his charac- ter and pocket than anything he hag done. Persons not in harmony with the ‘spirit and object of the Convention will not be present, while friends of the movement will be welcomed, and in some instances invited to take part. A distinguished United States Senator, whose name we withhold by his own reqnest, will epeak before the Conven- tion, and others of national distinction will do the same.

WILL CRUM RESIGN? Concerning the rumor that Collector Crum of the Port of Charleston, S. C., was about to resign, the Southern Reporter of that city has the following to say: Should Mr. Crum resign in pursuit of higher fame, as he is coaxed to do, it would be altogether in the line of the ordinary. But why "to relieve the President?" And of what is the President "to be relieved?" Collector Crum is the only original Neuro appointee made in this State by President Roosevelt, and it is not possible that that has caused embarrassment to him. In our conviction the President is made of sterner stuff, and could not allow even so dear a one as a "personal friend" to assume to negotiate for him on any question involving the highest interest of several millions of people in this republic. And we feel that we are safe in the belief that President Roosevelt means more and intends better for our cause than his "personal friend (?) seeks, by his escapades, to interest the public with. And the "personal friend to the President" ought not allow his freedom to interfere with the rights of other "friends to the President." It is somewhat difficult for persons who are not on the scene to understand the situation of that section of the country, and it is a bold individual who will attempt to say much on either side unless they are on the scene. The foregoing assertion, just as it may appear, throws down a governmental principle, which is to the effect that, the laws operate horizontally, and are not to be deflected like isothermal lines by abnormal conditions. While such is not expected yet such is the case and we do have deflections, elevations and depressions because of abnormal political and civil conditions. It was only the other day that Editor Henry Watterson said before a Northern audience, to the effect, that if the conditions were reversed, the Northern sympathizers exchanging with the Southern people, the Northern people would not only follow the program of the South, but would eliminate the element of sympathy that the Southernors are known to possess. It is said the audience thought a good long while then did the sensible thing, cheered. They cheered owing to the truth uttered as they saw it, on reflecting even for that little space of time. It says that the leavening progress must go on; it says that the colored brother must keep coming up, and everybody knows it, when they will. The President has performed his duty as President in the appointment of Crum. He seems to be satisfied that Crum or any other man, not white, would have been objectionable to the section; it is a case where the governmental principle strives to overcome an abnormal situation; and, as said before, one that should not exist, but which does exist, and which, if permitted to always exist without an attempt at subjecting the abnormalism, it will be a precedence that will, after barnaclizing the present objects, then proceed to attack the next order of men now lowest in the civil and political scale, and on and on. The President, standing for the government, strives to cleave the Gordian Knot. He is not peculiar in his position. The famous Mr. Cleveland had the same task to perform while he was president. The friction incident to the appointment is to be expected; it is a part of the problem. Mr. Crum ought not resign unless his position is untenable, through the actual hostility invoked; menacing the position of his benefactor or the peace of the community to such an extent that the injury is permanent. The government is utilitarian; it believes in the greatest good to the greatest numbers; and that principle has been set forth. And while it will be admitted that it is nothing more nor less than race prejudice, yet that principle has force, and justly so, when viewed aside from racial difficulties. Mr. Roosevelt has been a man in the instance. It is now up to Mr. Crum. The stand taken by Mrs May Wright THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER LOUIS MUELLER Fashionable Tailor Y. M. C. A.

Mrs. Sewell stands for the emancipation of womankind from the "tyranny" of man as her class sees it, as it concerns greater participation in civil affairs, consequently it was but natural, and to be consistent, for her to have a larger outlook for all women than those of the drawing room only, and where rank, pedigree, wealth, education, achievements are the decided requisites for entree. But notwithstanding their advanced position, these women know well of the hostile feelings that exist not only there among those who stand altogether on the fitness of things, as they view it, and as it is understood, but throughout the country generally on such a proposition. No condition can be overcome until that condition is acknowledged. Heretofore feelings and sentiments have been concealed concerning such matters until diplomacy has been worn threadbare and the white people and the black people have gone to telling the truth. The colored people have been led to believe that they needed but an entering wedge and the thousand and one vistas would open up. The white people, out of a spirit of charity, charity toward their feelings and views, those of the colored people, have led them on—a beckoning mirage. until both have seen the futility of the dream and have returned to face things as they are and not as they would have them—and what now follows will be actual results and not inflated probabilities. The refined colored women owes it to herself to conduct herself as the refined white woman. She can no more afford to make herself the target of attack than the other. She should be possessed with a saving degree of sensitiveness, and without which she cannot enroll as a woman in that sense best known to the women of America. Not Amazons, but women—the frailer creation of mankind—women who support, not by the actual substances of life, but in deep rooted sympathy for her complement and others, in the trying hours, when the orux of the all too earthy earth presses hard—the needy word in the needy time that knows no faltering. Such a woman, it may be opined, will not care for the gew gaws of the ornate, but will be a law unto herself, and as such compel respect. It is nothing short of a libel on true womanhood to be languishing about the doors of social organizations begging admittance as if seeking entrance to some cathedral, the last chance to John A.

The social organization begins at the fireside and works its way outward, like the laws of the land founded largely on the government of the family. It will stand to reason that when perfection is reached in that narrower circle its boundaries will widen until there are no defining lines that hamper and impede. If the family is under proper supervision, then next the race of which we are members, for we cannot escape its actions, the unreasonable conditions of the day; but we are dealing with conditions. So the colored women will have no occasion to weep as Alexander who had no more worlds to conquer.

McKinley Mining and Smelting Company Office open until 8 P.M. 303 Law Building, Indianapolis, Ind. People who engage in legitimate mining investments, in a businesslike way, must take one of two courses. They must rely upon their own personal inspection of the mining property, or, they must depend upon the judgment and advice of some one individual in whom they repose confidence. Unless you are upon the ground yourself, familiar with the property and able to distinguish between a good prop Copyright, 1900, by Charles A. Gray. WILLIAM I. erty and a mere prospect, you must rely upon some expert mining man of undoubted integrity and with the ability to pass judgment. Judgment of Experts. The largest minilog investors in the country have finely trained experts constantly in their employ for this purpose. It is for this reason that the ordinary Western mine whose stock is advertised for sale is subject to doubt. In a majority of cases, if the mines were as sure of results as the advertisements state, these well-equipped experts of very rich mining men would see that their principals acquired these extraordinary valuable properties before the stock was ever presented to the public. This does not apply in every instance, but it does apply in a majority of instances. Mining men know that it is necessary to have this judgment of experts. Treadwell as Authority. When Prof. George A. Treadwell, whose word as an expert is confidently accepted by the best mining men of many countries, said ten years ago that the United Verde Mine would become one of the most prolific copper producers in the world, many experienced investors accepted that judgment and procured stock in the company, then selling at $1 09 a share. Many persons who were not professional mining men and who were only occasional investors in such things, put a few hundred or a few thousand dollars into the United Verde stock at $1 00 a share, and as a result are now able to draw their check for hundreds of thousands of dollars. From 1849 up to the discovery of the United Verde Mine, Prof. Treadwell had examined hundred of mining claims. He picked out this mine as the most promising one he had examined since the old days in California. Seven years later the Green Consolidated Copper mine appeared in the market with $5.00 the price of its shares. McKinley Min Office open until 8 P of the stock, $1,000 invested when the shares were $5 each, has grown into a sung little fortune of $5,400. The Elv Mines. When it was announced that Prof. Treadwell, who, in the meantime, had examined many other mines, again advised his friends to invest, with the statement that this was unquestionably one of the largest copper properties in the world. M. C. Barber, of Canton M'KINLEY. Ohio, and his brother-in-law, the late President William McKinley, were negotiating for the organization of a company to work the eighteen mining mines at Ely, Nevada, which had descended to Mrs. McKinley and her sister, Mrs. Barber, from their father, James A. Saxton, the expert who was asked to examine the property was Prof. George A. Treadwell. Prof. Treadwell made a complete examination, especially of two of the mines—the Saxton and the Aultman. He found an abundance of red iron oxides overlying gold ore, and after a thorough examination of all surface indications and of the development work at the stage then reached, reported that there would be found at the permanent water level one of the richest deposits of copper sulphides that had ever been discovered. This quite changed the aspect of the undertaking, as the two mines had been looked upon only as gold mines, the fact having been established that the deposits of gold ore were present in very lucrative quantities. Prof. Tradewell advised sinking shafts at certain points and the running of drifts. He also advised the saving of the gold ore as the most economical flux that could be used in the treatment of the copper ore. By this means the copper is produced at a minimum cost and more of the gold is saved than would be the case with a stamp mill Company Organized. President McKinley turned the property over to the company then organized His brother-in-law, Mr. Barber, was elected president, directors were chosen and committees organized. It was determined to open the stock to public subscription. Prof. Treadwell was made chairman of the executive committee and of the mining committee, and W N. McGill, an experienced mining man, was made manager of the mine. In the development of the Saxton ing and Smell P. M. 303 Law Build "I think the McKinley Mines have a great future and will come to the front as big copper and Gold producers. The Stock ought to be selling at Ten Dollars a share on the merits of the mines." —Prof. George A. Treadwell. mine the rich deposit of orewas found to continue in one direction through seven additional mining claims, and these have since been acquired by the company, the properties now consisting of twenty-five very valuable mines. It may be judged that backed by such circumstances and governed by such influences, the stock of the McKinley Mining & Smelting Company has met with a very flattering reception by the public. Professor Treadwell said that the McKinley mine had a great future, and would come to the front as one of the greatest copper and gold producers in the world. He said: "I have examined many hundreds of mines. Among them I have found probably half a dozen first-class mines. "The property of the McKinley Mining and Smelting Company I rank as one of the best of these. The stock is cheap, at the present development, at $10 a share. This is the same great mining engineer who advised investment in the United Verde when $1,000 would purchase stock worth $300,000, and who likewise advised investment in the Green Consolidated stock at $5 a share, three years ago, now worth $27 a share on the market. A Safe Investment. Is it likely that President William McKinley would have turnedr these properties over to the company unless it was one of the best and safest mining propositions ever presented? If it was good enough for him to indorse with his name, should it not be a good investment for the average investor? If the present development, as reported last week by Manager McGill, bears out everything foretold by Professor Treadwell, is it not a better investment now than it was then? If this report shows that native copper has already been reached, underlying an immense quantity of pay gold, will it take many months for McKinley stock to follow in the upward path of the United Verde and the Green Consolidated? When you consider that there are twenty-three other mines belonging to the company to be worked in turn, in the same neighborhood and with the same prospects of success, isn't the value of the stock already far beyond the price at which it is offered? Isn't it better to invest in such a mine, with values determined and with a monthly pay roll for over $3,000, than it is to invest in a prospect confined to one mining claim? If the capitalization, fixed by President McKinley, is $1,000,000, and there is blocked out at present in the Saxton and Aultman mines about $600,000 tons of gold ore, which at $5 a ton is worth $3,000,000, isn't the investment an extraordinarily safe one? You have here the opinion of one of the world's experts, and you know the property as well as it is possible for an investor to know any mining property. It is safe to say the stock will not remain at $3,00 a share for any considerable length of time. Checks and drafts should be made payable to DONALD R. KUNKELMAN.

They all said they were more than glad of the opportunity of finding out the mysteries of Elkdom. It was with much pleasure that the Freeman representative witnessed the efforts of the Johnson and Dean team, who appear at the Grand Opera House in vaudeville this week. The team is clean and refreshing, and we feel assured that such people are doing much toward the solution of the much discussed race problem. The lady in the "stunt" is exquisitely gowned, and knows how to wear good clothes. The repartee and dialogue of the act is good and reflects both credit and originality on the race. More Johnson and Deans on the vaudeville stage would mean much to the Negroes in the theatrical world. Notes from "A Rabbit's Foot Company." We opened our season at Braidentown, Fla., April 1st, to capacity, and we were unable to accommodate the crowds that clamored for admission at both Tampa and Punta Gooda, and in fact we have played to capacity everywhere. Our show this season is better than ever before and our band, under the leadership of Prof. A. G. Jones, is a feature. We carry 40 people and use two special cars. Our street parade is the talk of every city where we have appeared. The walking gents wear long silk alpaca haymarkets, white vests and straw beavers. The band is in regulation uniform, while the drum corps is in zouave uniforms. Our drum major is attired in red satin, and our banners are yellow and black satin. Amos Gillard has just received his hundred-dollar Conn slide trombone, and J. M. Gayles has his eighty-dollar baritone. Everyone is well and happy. Regards to all. We can always place good musicians that double. See route in all papers. Al E. Holman, of "Hottest Coon in Dixie," writes: "We are in our thirty-third week, and business continues beyond our most sanguine expectations, and our genial manager, Eugene Spofford, has increased our show to a real live city show, and much to the dissatisfaction of a few soreheads, big heads and disorganizers, we are booked to stay out all summer, and not under canvas. At that we have now the hottest coons, instead of hottest coon in Dixie, and coolest coon amongst the hottest coons is the hottest coon in Dixie. Our roster includes the following well known performers: McKissick and Jones, Billy Miller, Al E. and Mamie Holman, William and Stevens, Rance Smith, Alonzo Moore the Black Demon, James T. Gilliam our bandmaster, and Harvey C. Hollans, our orchestra leader, are a part of the "torrid" proposition. The Misses Moore, Smith, Shadney, Richardson, Hennings, Fraction and Russ have formed a club called the W. B. T. B.'s. The entire company sends regards to their many friends and The Freeman. James L. Goodall, of Philadelphia, Pa., has constructed one of the finest and most thoroughly equipped canvas theaters ever put up for his summer tour. Mr. H. G. Hurgebroth, of Middlestow, has just finished it, with stage scenery and dressing rooms, and with a seating capacity of one thousand; parquet and orchestra circle the latest improved upholstered folding chairs. The management is now booking the very best talent that can be procured. They will carry an up-to-date band and orchestra, with specially designed uniforms. Everything brand new. Mr. R. C. Puggsley, his business manager, is gathering together a host of the best colored performers. Madame Robinson Cornick, the new Black Patti; Fred Weaver, the lately discovered Eastern star, and the peerless De Roze, an impersonator of no mean ability, are some of the many novel and unique features booked with the company. This company will play week stands, being the only genuine colored repertoire company on the road, with change of bill night. They will produce "The Exodustus," "Uncle Jasper's Trip to Oklahoma," "The Two African Kings," "Uncle Remus' Dream," "The Alabama Minstrels," and "The Coontown 400." Fred Weaver made a hit at the St. Anthony Club (white), Saturday night. The Standard Quartet also sang. Napoleon Johnson writes from Big Minstrel Festival: Since S. E. Dodd closed in Louisville Fred Simpson has had charge of the band, and we are still making it warm for all comers. Wm. Tell, Poet and Peasant, Fantasque, etc. can be heard nightly with telling effect. The hoops are still doing as Kraton wills. The people, as before, are wondering how it is done, and Kraton, in answering the question, says, "it's just a simple twist of the wrist." He has signed a contract with Fields and Hanson's white minstrels for the summer season at a very good salary, as a special feature, his being the only colored act in the show. Harry Kraton and John Pittman have just finished a pretty and pathetic little ballad entitled "Pauline." It is now being featured by Louise Dresser and Emma Corus. They will have something else soon. Will be with you soon. Regards to Bailey and Spiller, Frank Walker, Daddy Love and Tom Logan. Yours, John Pittman. Something up my sleeve. Clarence Powell, the mirth producer, has added two more songs to his repertoire, viz.: "Jonah Man" and "In the Sweet By and By," and in singing them he never fails to carry the audience with him. Powell goes with Rusco & Holland again next season, making his third successful season, doing principal end and monologue. He sends regards to Sylvester Russell and John Cooper, and says, "I wrote last." Frank Castry says, Hello, Robinson and Arient. I am shaking the window glasses as usual. Robert Leach has had occasion to make a few changes in the orchestra, but for the good. Under his leadership from that department they keep pace with the rest. He sends regards to George Swan. Billy Kersands is nightly winning new friends, and he and his wife, Madame Louisa, find in the song, "My Black Babe and I," such a hit they have had no cause to change it, and still they are receiving bouquets from their admirers. The unique way in which Kersands works catches the audience from the start and makes a hot finish for the first part. All join me in sending regards to friends. Daddy Love's Theatrical Headquarters, 336 21st street, Chicago, Ill.-Johnnie Rucker, formerly of Black Patti's Troubadours, who is now being starred by the "Stain of Guilt Company" as their comedian, and who brings down the houses with voicoforous applause, was a pleasant caller at headquarters last week. He sends regards to all friends. * * Will Thomas, of the sketch team of Caldwell and Thomas, who has been unable to fill engagements, is improving rapidly, and he and his partner will soon fill a cover covering the entire summer and fall. They are also contemplating an European tour of ten weeks. Watch them; they are in the money. That's all. * * We are sorry that Cole and Johnson RUSCO & HOLLAND Will have surprises to offer in connection with Richard's & Pringle's Famous Georgia Minstrels JOHNSON & DEAN JOHNSON & DEAN did not prove the favorites whilst playing in the city that they should have been. Of course there is a great deal of room for improvement in their sketch. Criticism was strongly against them in several respects. We could make suggestions, if they would be appreciated, wherein they would be the entire "It" of the bill wherever they go, and would be pleasing to everybody. They are clever boys, and we would like to see them lead as vaudevillians, but they will have to revise their act. * * Will Dixon, formerly of the Blackstone Quartet, has opened up a beautiful ladies' and gents' shining parlor, cigar stand, and all the leading colored papers and magazines, including the Freeman. He would be glad to have you call in and see him. Sends regards to all his friends. * * Our esteemed friend, Edward Green, of Springfield, Ill., Chief State Weighmaster, called in at headquarters, had a pleasant chat, and as usual left a good impression before returning. He is a fine fellow, and an entertainer. Whenever you are in Springfield, look him up. * * Hart and Harlin are contemplating opening a beautiful summer garden, the finest in the city, with a pavilion platform that will stage a show of sixty people, in conjunction with their buffet. Don't forget, boys, whilst in the city, to call and see them at 2634 State street. * * Daddy Love is still confined to his room, but hopes, after being in bed for three weeks, now entering into the fourth, to be able to be down to the office by the latter part of the week. He sends regards to all his friends. * * We are sorry to hear that the Prince of Zulu" Company came to grief near Bloomington. "Be sure you're right, then go ahead." J. Harry Jackson sends the following from New York City: After a rehearsal of two weeks an excellent company of Negro performers, headed by Messrs. Avery and Hart, left Tuesday for Washington, D. C., where they are "UP-TO-DATE" ENTERTAINERS. Johnson and Dean are the best colored singers and dancers seen this season. They might be called the colored fashion plates of vaudeville, but their fine clothes do not hurt their work, which is distinctly good. - The Indianapolis Sun, April 14, 1908. Johnson and Dean are a couple of colored entertainers. Their act is high-class and devoid of any of the horse-play that characterizes most colored turns. Both sing well and the man's dancing was a feature — Indianapolis News, April 14, 1903. booked for an engagement of six or seven weeks, opening April 20th. This company enjoys the distinction of being the first legitimate Negro repertoire company ever organized. Among the most prominent farces which they will present are "Sons of Ham," "Coontown Golf Club," and the "Prince of Haytl." The company is under the management of Messrs. Brennan and Schlesinger. The productions are being staged under the direction of Louis Love, with Will Accoce as musical director. Among those with the aggregation are: Avery and Hart, Sam Davis, Al Watts, Laura Walker, the Cousins, James Lightfoot, the Turner Sisters (Maud and Mabel), Clara Freeman, and Sam King. * * Ernest Hogan was a headliner on the big bill of high-class vaudeville at Hammerstein's Victoria Theater, Easter-Sunday night. * * James Lightfoot, the accomplished baritone vocalist, returned to the city from Palm Beach, Fla., where he spent the winter. Mr. Lightfoot has signed with the Avery and Hart company for the balance of the season. * * Christian, the phenomenal trick cyclist, left Sunday for Utica, N.Y., where he is filling an engagement this week. * * The Hammonds (George and Etta) are doing nicely at the Atlantic Garden this week. This team has just finished a most successful tour of the New England circuit. * * Owing to the "freezing up" of the "vocal pipes" of Bob Slater, of the singing and dancing team of Murphy and Slater, they were compelled to cancel their engagement last week at Keith's Philadelphia Theater after their appearance in the early part of the week. The team left Sunday for Boston, where they are appearing this week, after which they will appear at the Keith house in this city. * * Tom White is appearing nightly and receiving much applause in "The Suburban," which is enjoying a run at the Academy of Music. * * The following well known members of the profession sailed Thursday of last week for Paris, France: Misses Mattie Phillips, Fannie Hudson, Katie Post, Annie Cook, Cora Scott, L. F. Vierra and Jack Brown. They have been engaged for a period of four months to appear in a big production. * * Williams and Walker were the bright and particular stars on the bill Sunday night at the Metropolitan Opera House in Ted Marks' last Sunday night concert of the season on Broadway. * * Messrs. Williams and Walker left Monday for Philadelphia, where they rejoined their "In Dahomey" company. * * Shepard N. Edmonds announces that he will again appear in vaudeville. He has joined hands with the well known team of Grant and Grant (Coley and Mamie), and the firm name will be hereafter Grant, Edmonds and Grant. The success of this trio is almost assured, as each one of them is considered to be pretty near the top of the ladder in their particular line. Mr. Edmonds is the author of some of the biggest song hits of the past two seasons, principally among them being "The Kissing Trust," "I'm Going to Live Anyhow Until I Die," "I Was There and I Had No Business to be There," and "You Can't Fool All the People All the Time." His latest composition, "Dat's Jes' What Ex-po-ten-tis-i-ous Means," will soon be on. * * Yeager and Yeager are going big at Keith's Union Square Theater, this week. * * * Ernest, Hogan left Monday for Atlantic City, N. J., where he rejoined the "Smart Set" company. * * The original Wangdooodle Comedy Four (Messrs. Julius Glenn, James White, Erb Robinson and Harvey Goodall) are one of the biggest hits in the Vanity Fair Burlesque Company, appearing this week in Newark, N. J. * * Jones, Grant and Jones were at the New Star Theater Sunday night. * * You can get the Freeman every Saturday at Slaughter's barber shop, 174 West 31st street.

Francis "In the Springtime" and Fay and Oliver's "Good Night Beloved, Good Night." Morris Haswell, the clever male prima donna, is at present featuring READ PRESE COMMENTS. Johnson and Dean, colored singers and dancers, scored quite a success in enjoyable singing and fine dancing. The spectators rewarded them with rounds of applause.—The Indianapolis Sentinel, Tuesday, April 14 1908. Johnson and Dean, the colored singers and dancers, are the best of colored entertainers; their songs are all given in splendid style, while the dancing of Johnson is far more graceful than that of the average colored performer.—The Indianapolis Journal, Tuesday, April 14, 1908. Standish and Silberberg's beautiful religious song, "The Voice of Jehovah," and their high-class ballads, "In Fancy, You Are Even by My Side" and "My Elinore." Al Campbell has in rehearsal "You're de sweetest Coon Dat's Bo'n," a coon lullaby, by Standish and Silberberg. Miss Bessie Miller has scored strongly with two of the Standish and Silberberg's numbers, namely: "In Fancy You Are Ever by My Side" and "My Elinore." Miss Miller has "The Voice of Jehova" in rehearsal, by the same writers. Inga Orme is using with excellent effect "Pretty Molly Shannon" and "You Are My All in All." F. V.

VAST IMPORTANCE WILL BE THE NATIONAL GATHERINGS OF THIS SUMMER. DR. J. M. TOWNSEND FOR BISHOP The Coming Maryland Conference-Pen and Pencil Club Scores a "Hit" Roscoe Conkling Bruce to Visit in June-"Man on the Monument." BUREAU OF THE FREEMAN, WASHINGTON, D. C., April 4, '08. Time for the great meetings of the year comes on a pace. I have spoken at length of the importance of the National Negro Business League, its interests are being looked after by enterprising citizens of Nashville, and the outlook for a large and representative gathering is highly encouraging. The hall of the House of Representatives has been secured, and no pains will be spared to see that the proverbial hospitality of the South is showered upon all who attend the sessions of the league this summer. Before this gathering, let it not be forgotten, there comes the annual conference of the National Afro-American Council, the one organization that can and does exert a powerful influence toward the protection of the manhood rights of the Negroes of the country. This year's meeting will deal largely with the question of suffrage, and light will be thrown upon the burning issue of the times by the race's most experienced and truest leaders. All other embryo attempts to hold a "suffrage convention" have properly been abandoned, and the strength of the whole people will be centered at Louisville July 7th, to take action looking to remedial measures for the masses, Meetings are expensive, time taken from business is precious, and the reduction of friction to the minimum by the concentration of forces is the point to be gained by this united effort at Louisville. All are anxious to accomplish the same purpose, and a general comparison of notes, in a broad and manly spirit, will bring beneficial results. For the protection of the political and civil rights of the Afro-American, the council offers ample opportunity for systematic and practical work on the part of every class, professional, trade or pursuit in which our people may be engaged. Its scope is comprehensive, and it has a permanent, well defined plan of action. Its bureau cover the vital interests of mankind, and at the head of each is a capable manager, conversant with the most approved methods of directing them, and skilled in the science of government on a large scale. There will be no scrambling for offices within the organization, nor will there be an effort on the part of the body to barter away its influence in exchange for political patronage. Personal ambition must be subordinated for the good of the race, and notoriously-seekers and pelt-chasers are warned to stay away. It is essential that the ministers, the educators, the doctors, the lawyers, the faculties of colleges, officers of literary organizations, representatives from the fraternities, churches and business corporations turn out in force and "put their heads together" in this dash for civil liberty. The press should especially strive to come en masse, for upon the newspapers of the race depends the brunt of the battle. Upon it must rest the burden of keeping alive the interest excited at the convention, long after the actual gathering has dissolved. We should have our days of prayer, and we should keep the agitation going—intelligently, persistently and cumulatively, but at the same time prepare to send delegates to Louisville in July. TAKEN FROM LIFE: BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT. ORIGINAL OZONIZED OX MARROW CO., 76. Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Begin now to get expense money to gether—a little from each one will not be missed, yet when put together its weight will be felt from ocean to ocean, helping to a larger life, ours and succeeding generations. It is Dr. James M. Townsend's turn to "land" in the bishopric. He should have been elected in 1888 at Indianapolis, when on his own heath, but his youth was urged against him effectively, and he was told to wait until 1892. His deflection into politics during the Harrison administration put him out of the combination, and the man who succeeded him as secretary of missions, won the coveted goal. Since then others have been invested with the bishop's frock, who have not deserved nearly so well as Dr. Townsend, and we hope the next General Conference will make amends for all past slights by elevating the genial Indianian to the place he has earned by faithful and intelligent service, and a station he would most fittingly adorn. His advent into politics should not be brought into question, for he accepted office in 1889 upon the advice and urgent solicitation of his brother ministers, who persuaded him that he would find therein a broader field of usefulness, and would be able to exert a healthful influence upon President Harrison by virtue of hailing from the same state. Dr. Townsend soon found that the routine of official life was not his mission, that his place was in active ministerial work, and to the pulpit he returned and made the record of his whole career. He has again gotten in the line of promotion, now in the prime of vigorous manhood, ripened by wide experience in every department of the church, Dr. Townsend is pre-eminently the logical selection for the Chicago meeting in May, 1904. The entire Methodist denomination will feel honored if given the privilege of shaking the hand of "Bishop" Townsend next year. Two Methodist pastors at Baltimore complete their five year terms this spring. They are Drs. Hurst and Beckett, who have presided prosperously at Bethel and Trinity. The question that is now worrying Bishop Lee is whether to accede to the desire of Rev. J. Albert Johnson to be granted a return date at Metropolitan church, Washington, or to give him one of the places to be vacated in Baltimore, bringing Hurst and Beckett to this city. Johnson's present charge is regarded as too small and unremunerative for one of his distinguished ability as an orator and scholar—hence a berth must be provided where he can spread himself to his heart's content. The conference meets shortly and the agony will be over. It would not surprise the friends of the able Dr. Hill if Bishop Lee should determine to sever the Gordian knot by leaving the present incumbent at Metropolitan undisturbed. Dr. Hill is doing a splendid work here, and he should by all means remain. In Vanity Fair. A potent solvent for the race problem—$ $ $. The anti-industrialists appear to have talked themselves out. A "person" has been appointed postmaster at Wilson N. C.—white, by the way. If Tillman will shut up his yawp, we will admit that he is superior to a great many Negroes of our acquaintance. Perhaps one "J. G. C." has within the recesses of his sleeve a Roland for this fellow's Oliver in the reminder budget. Dr. Julius J. Chilcoat, in a recent address at Bethel Literary, paid a high tribute to the value of the work being done by Dr. Booker T. Washington. The Negro is desirous of becoming fashionable in many things, but we are not ambitious to have the Negro dialect known hereabouts as the "court language." L. C. Bailey is doubtless thinking these days of the phrase-maker who remarked that "When a man starts going down hill, everything seems greased for the occasion." The consensus of opinion is that The Freeman was never better than to day. It holds the circulation record of Negro journalism, little as is said about it even its own columns. Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, director of the Academic Department at Tuskegee, will be here in June. He will be given a public reception and will speak at Metropolitan A. M. E. church. A colored man in the employ of Senator Bailey, of Texas, killed himself a few days ago. Just think what kind of a man the stalwart Texan must be? An employee preferring death to remaining in his service. Even if the governors of the Southern states do not want a formal conference on the race question, that does not prevent the best grades of blacks and whites finding a common ground upon which they may do business. Charles E. Carroll, of Twelfth street, contemplates taking a course in scientific agriculture at Tuskegee, following the completion of his studies at Howard University. This young man has a level head upon his shoulders. Thomas Nelson Page is at it early and Blind During Attacks Of Heart Failure. Would Appear To Be Dead. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Relieved and Cured. "I have no hesitation in saying that Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is all that one can wish it to be. I was troubled with heart disease for fifteen years. I have tried many different remedies but until I tried Dr. Miles' Heart Cure I could find no relief. I was subject to headaches and had tried your Pain Pills and they were so effective. I thought your Heart Cure might help me. I would have attacks at times so severe that I would be stone blind for the time being. During these times I would be stricken to appear, dead look the medicine strictly as directed and I can truthfully say that I am completely cured. I advise all that are troubled with heart disease to take Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure at once. I write this and give my name to my fellow sufferers."—S. E. Purdy, Atkinson, Nebraska. "I first felt the effects of a weak heart in the fall of 1896. I saw an advertisement in the Sioux City paper in which a man stated his symptoms which seemed to me to indicate a trouble similar to mine. I had a soreness in the chest at times, and in my shoulder, an oppression, shaking sensation in my throat offered from weak and hungry spells. I was truly frightened at my condition and procured six bottles of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. Since taking my first bottle I have never been bothered by any of the old disagreeable symptoms and now am well and consider my condition."—Lewis Anderson, All druggists sell and guarantee first bottle Dr. Miles' Remedies. Send for free book on Nervous and Heart Diseases. Address Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind. often — explaining the cause of the trouble between President Roosevelt and the South. President Roosevelt is calmly engaged in receiving the enthusiastic plaudits of an approving nation. Has John S. Wise "flopped?" He was attorney for the Virginians who are testing the constitutionality of the unconstitutional constitution of that state, but now he says the solution of the problem of suffrage lies in denying the ballot to the blacks. The Burdick case is a bundle of object lessons—not least among which is how much a man will condone for the sake of his children, personal pride and the outward semblance of domestic unity. Will the Burdicks and Pennells of our own society take heed from the Buffalo tragedy? The encouraging news comes from the South that the plan of extending the school term by private subscription, is growing quite general. Three months' schooling does little good, and results can be quadrupled by making a few sacrifices, and running the term up to six and seven months. It has been discovered that the "hoooo" that has been following Dr. Crum is the $1,300 salary that the Charleston collectorship brings. The number "13" has stood for both good and bad luck with us, but we are willing to chance it when it has a $ for a co-efficient, with several 000 on the right-hand side. If there are those who claim that the Man at Tuskegee "makes faces" at any one, it should be borne well in mind that Booker Washington is too busy with his life-work to take that much note of nincompoops. The business of "making faces" is confined strictly to the other side—the so called "Man on the Monument." Brother C. R. R. Dinkins' "Colored Churchman" is championing the consolidation of the C. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches, but wants the new name to be the "Colored Methodist Episcopal Zion church," eliminating the "African." What do Bishops Walters, Hood, Clinton and brother Dancy think about it? Why not "Zion M. E. church" for sake of brevity? Some individual ventures to hint that Bartram Barton is a non-resident. That only goes to show that the soresaid individual doesn't know everything that goes on in the nation's capital. He would be surprised to learn that I was in his company just a few days before he penned his rumor. It should be remembered that we often entertain angels unwares. The Pen and Pencil Club made a "hit" with the country by its timely visit to Archbishop Ireland, and the great Catholic prelate rose sublime to the occasion. Say what you will, the Catholic church will yet exert masterful influence in the settlement of this problem of races on the American continent. Rome and the Vatican have not in all the centuries lost their grip upon the destinies of empires. BERTRAM BARTON. How A Woman Paid Her Dets. I am out of debt, thanks to the Dishwasher business.

Colored banks are becoming quite numerous throughout the country and all are reported to be successful and well conducted. A Negro exhibit will most likely be a feature of the St. Louis World's Fair. J. Milton Turner is reported to be a candidate for the office of commissioner general of the exhibit. William H. Lewis, Boston's colored assistant United States district attorney, was very popular at college where he held a fine record as a football player. The distinction conferred upon him is eminently pleasing to the many white friends Mr. Lewis possesses. In Nashville Charlotte Booker, a colored cook for thirty-one years in the family service, was buried from the mansion of her employer, whose place of business was closed two days in her honor. The case is proudly cited to The World by a Southern correspondent as an instance of how love and care ignore the color line where there is long faithfulness to reward. Nashville is able to recall two parallel cases. It is sure that such households incidents are not common in the North, even where the service is white. The Henry James Teneyck prize at Yale was awarded April, 1st to William Pickens, of Little Rock, Ark., a member of the junior academic class.

He is said to be the first student of that race who has ever participated in the Teneyck speaking, Pickens's subject was "Hayti." He treated the history of the island historically and economically and deducted from his reviews views of its future, predicting that its welfare lay in the control of destinies by Great Britain or America. The other speakers were residents of New England.
