KILLED & WOUNDED INDIANA MILITIA FIRED ON THE BIOTERS-FIERCE FIGHT-IN- NOCENT GIRL KILLED. DURBIN CONDEMNS THE SHERIFF Martial Law Declared--No One Knows Who Fired First--Soldiers Insulted Fired on Mob--The Wounded Crawl Out of Jail Yard. Evansville, Ind., July 7.—Following four days of rioting and general lawlessness this city last night saw the most horrible of its experiences with rioters. Seven men are dead and twenty are known to be injured, with at least that number more suspected of being hurt. At 10:30 o'clock the members of Company A, First Regiment Indiana National Guard, weared and exasperated with a day's vigilance in guarding the county jail, and 100 deputy sheriffs under Sheriff Chris Kratz, were forced to fire point blank into a mob of 1,000 men gathered in Fourth, Division and Vine streets, surrounding the Vanderbilt county jail and attempting its capture. From 7 o'clock yesterday morning until the hour of last night's catastrophe the crowd surged about the jail, calling the militiamen vile names, sailing them with stones and berating the deputy sheriffs who guarded the jail. At 9 o'clock the mob gradually became more and more excited, its manifestations of uneasiness more frequent, and at 10 o'clock it was easily seen that nothing could prevent an assault on the jail. At 10:30 o'clock the rioters pressed slowly forward and inconcent on lookers and the curious followed. Slowly but surely they forced the militiamen back toward the jail until the alleyway between Division street and the stone building was reached. Then the leaders with a bicycle in their front as a shield to the bayonets of the thoroughly wormout and esparate soldiers, attempted to enter the alley and storm the alleyway entrance. Captain Julius Blum, with his troops rallied them and inspired them to an effectual charge on the rioters. Gradually the crowd was forced back, the soldiers using their bayonets and butts of guns pushing and entreating the rioters to give way. Suddenly a rioter fell. A soldier tried to drag him to his feet, but before he could do so was assaulted by a rioter. Stones and boulders began to fly through the air, a soldier was struck with a rock and fell, a rioter was knocked down with a gun butt, and then a shot was fired. The one shot started a fusillade of musketry and shotgun fire from the defenders of the jail and a scattered return fire from the rioters. Fully three hundred shots were fired from the jail windows, the court house steps immediately opposite and by the soldiers on the streets. No one knows who fired the first shot. The soldiers claim it was the rioters, while the rioters make no claims and refuse to talk about it. The Governor is said to have instructed the authorities not to jeopardize the safety of the jail with any half-way measures. The soldiers and sheriff fired into the retreating frenzied mob of men who ran into Division street, calling, crying and praying. For fifteen minutes the firing continued, then it ceased. The mob was gone and the soldiers held the place, palefacedly looking on the scene of slaughter. In front of the staggering band of fifty-eight soldiers lay the dead and wounded, their dark and bleeding forms blackening the asphalt pavement and their piteous moans and crises terrifying to the little knots of soldiers who stood their ground bravely and kept the crowd at bay. Ed Schiffman, a painter, a man who was seen in the first ranks of the mob during the evening, lay on the sidewalk, the top of his head blown completely off with an ugly 45-caliber springfield bullet and his brains oozing on the sidewalk. A little distant from him lay another man and close by the bleeding form of another young man lay dead with a bullet wound over the heart. All over the street crawling and moaning wounded rioters and onlookers tried to ease their pain and escape the officers by getting away from the jail. On Division street, sitting upright between her father and mother, little Miss Allman was dead with her little breast torn away with a buckshot charge. She was out driving with her parents, who, attracted by the noise and, curious and unapprehensive, stopped a few minutes, to be made a victim of the horrible battle that was fought. In the yard of the court house wounded rioters lay, and back of the line of soldiers two of the militiamen had fallen. On the jail steps stod Sheriff Kratz, pale, cool and determined. At his side was Colonel McCoy, of the First Regiment. When the firing had entirely ceased, Captain Blum gave the men his orders. "Keep that mob back, call on them to halt; if they don't halt, shoot them down. We can't take any more chances. Men, be careful, but for God's sake keep a close watch," shouted the captain, and his men prepared for another struggle. It did not come, as the rioters got out of sight quickly, and, fearing that another charge would be made, scattered. They stood in knots around the corners in the vicinity and talked in whispers and idiotic sentences of the struggle. They could be heard at the jail arguing with themselves. "Let's go get the — murderers," called one. "Down with them," "Kill them," and a score of cries were heard, but the voices were more brave than actions because no one approached the jail. Some of the rioters tried to change their positions. They were greeted with cries of "Halt!" and the ominous clicking or rifles, and they stopped and laid down Within a half hour things had become so quiet that care could be taken of the dead and injured. The wounded soldiers were taken into the jail and found to be four in number. Their injuries were slight and were dressed by volunteer surgeons, Drs. Teepe and Achilles, who were there. They were taken to the court house and later to their homes. The rioters were picked up—the term rioters might be a misonner, as many of the people in the mob were only curious onlookers and had nothing to do with the score or more of men who led the mob—and taken to hospitals and their homes in ambulances and carriages. This feat was accomplished with difficulty, as only a few cool and nervy men were brave enough to pick them up. Charley Preskey, a 17-year-old boy, was carried into the court house. Through his wrist had gone a buckshot and each of his feet were wounded through the heels, his pain was excruciating and he moaned and cried piteously. "Take me down and throw me in the river," called the boy. "I got what I deserved for hanging around there. Oh, God help me," he moaned, and one or two men were so affected by his cries that they left the court house corridor. News Suppressed. Others were more stoical and without that sympathy and care that generally comes to the afflicted they were cared for. Many of them were taken away before their names could be learned. The police department and ambulance corps were anxious that too much be not learned by the newspaper reporters, and it was with the greatest difficulty that facts could be ascertained positively. After the shooting Colonel McCoy telegraphed Captain McCoy of Company A, First Regiment, at Vincennes, and tried to get him by telephone to order his company to Evansville to relieve Company E. Sheriff Kratz looked to his deputies and volunteer "powder monkeys" handed out ammunition to the defenders of the jail. Inside the jail forty-three prisoners lay terrified in the darkness, sixteen of them negroes, whose lives are far from safe if the mob attacks the jail again and effects a capture. The lights were turned out when the shooting commenced and the prisoners moaned and cried in their cells, some of them more brave than the rest inspiring courage to the others by forcible remarks. Telephone messages were sent from the jail to the hospitals and to physicians calling for aid, and to them the response was quick. Doctors from all over Evansville drove rapidly at the cal land soon all of the wounded were given some sort of care. INDIANAPOLIS IND., SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1903. WAKE-UP! WAKE-UP!! NEGRO WHILST UNITED STATES HAS SO MUCH SYMPATHY FOR POREIGNERS HE HAS FORGOTTEN THAT "CHARITY" BEGINS AT HOME. Riots Everywhere. All night long Evansville has been in a state of riot and turnover not known in the city since the civil war. Up until 10 o'clock kthe down-town streets were practically deserted. The saloons wer closed and not a negro has been seen down town. The crowds were all around the jail and to it many men walked who had nothing to do with the actions of the mob. A reporter who sought the jail was advised not to go there. On every turn advice was given to stay away from the jail. The town was warlike, policemen patrolled their beats with shotguns over their shoulders loaded and ready for action. Citizens talked the situation over and called the actions of a few the worst disgrace ever put on the good name of the city. The police were weared during the day and last night with frequency by "fake" calls. Negroes were chased in all directions, and the Wallace circus, scheduled to show here last night, was not allowed to give a performance for fear that the negroes and whites would come together. Last night a reported negro lynching in Baptistown, the part of the city populated for the most part by negroes, caused a riot call to police headquarters. It was investigated and found that a number of men and boys had hanged a "dummy" in a spirit of fun and called the police. GOVERNOR SAYS HE MAY DECLARE MARTIAL LAW. He Orders Out More Militia Companies and May Go to Evansville Himself. Governor Durbin was considerably agitated last night at the information from Evansville that eight of the members of the mob that had attacked the soldiers had been killed. "If this condition continues," he stated, emphatically, "I shall go to Evansville myself and declare the city under martial law." Late last night he began ordering out additional militia companies. The first was that from Vincennes, which was rushed to the scene of the riot on a special train. The New Albany company was called out and placed under arms with orders to proceed to Evansville early this morning. The Terre Haute company was placed under arms, ready to move on a moment's notice, arrangements having been made for a special train which would hurry the soldiers to the scene. AN ELEGANT RECEPTION. Mr. and Mrs. Washington Entertained In Honor of Mr. and Mrs. Russell. Tuskegee, Ala., July 4.—On Tuesday evening of this week Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Washington gave an elegant reception at their beatifull home, on Varner Hill, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Russell, who had been united in marriage at Richmond, Va., June 17. Mr. Russell is the capable and energetic head of the division of carpentry at Tuskegee, and the enthusiasm which greeted him upon his home-coming, with his bride, was an eloquent testimonial to his popularity and estimable qualities as a gentleman and coworker. Mrs. Russell was formerly Miss Ellen V. Trent, one of Richmond's fairest daughters, a member of the teaching corps of that city, and representing in her accomplishments, personal culture and social graces the highest type of womanhood to be found in the historic capital of the Old Dominion. The handsome and commendable parors of Mr. and Mrs. Washington were crowded at an early hour with the many friends who came to pay their respects to the happy young couple, and amid "sweet converse," entrancing music and countless congratulations and expressions of good wishes the evening was spent, culminating in an elaborate and toothsome repast, all typical of the whole-souled hospitality for which the people of the Southland are justly famous. In addition to the local faculty and the families of the surrounding country, brillancy was added to the occasion by the presence of qulate a number of distinguished ladies and gentlemen frob abroad, some drawn here to spend the season amid Alabama's fragrant magnolias, and others as members of the special faculty of the summer normal school for teachers now in session. Mrs. Washington was an ideal hostess, and the guests were given "the freedom of the household" in her charming, unconventional manner. She was assisted in the presentations by Mrs. Georgia F. Stewart, and in the receiving line were Mrs. J. B. Ramsey and Miss Sue B. Thomas. Among the invited guests other than those mentioned were: Prof. and Mrs. L. B. Moore, Dr. Lucy E. Moten, Mrs. B. K. Bruce, Miss Sarah W. Brwon, all of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Haydee Campbell, St. Louis, Mo.; Prof. W. E. F. DuBois, Atlanta University; Rev. and Mrs. E. J. Penney, Capt. and Mrs. W. A.

Are your spirits easily affected so that one minute you laugh, and the next fall into con- vulsive weeping ? Do ie feel something like a ball rising in your throat and threaten- ing to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound; pain in the ovaries, and especially between the shoulders ; sometimes loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia, and almost continually cross and snappy, with a tendency to cry at the least provocation ? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threat- ened with nervous prostration. Undoubtedly you do not know it, but in nine cases out of ten this is caused by some uterine disorder, and the nerves centering in and about the grgans which make you a woman influence your entire nervous system. Something must be'done at once to restore their natural condition or you will be prostrated for weeks and months perhaps, and suffer untold misery. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for this purpose than Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound; thou- sands and thousands of women have written us so. How irs. Holland, of Philadelphia, suffered among the finest physicians in the country, none of whom could help her—finally cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mrs. Pryxuam:— For over two years I was a constant suf- ferer from extreme nervousness, indigestion, and dizziness. Menstruation was irregular, had backache and a feeling of great lassitude and weak- ness. I was so bad that I was not able to do my own work or go far in the street. I could not sleep nights, “T tried several splendid doctors, but they gave me no relief. After taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I soon began to feel better, and was able to go out and not feel as if I would fall at every step. I continued to take the medicine until cured. “Tcannot say enough in behalf of Lydia E. Pinkham’s medicine, and heartily recommend all suffering women to try it and find the relief I did."—Mrs. Firorence Hoizanp, 622 8. Clifton St. Phila- delphia, Pa. (Jan. 6, 1902.) Another case of severe female trouble cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, after the doctors had failed. “Dear Mrs. Pinkuam:—I was in poor health for several years, I had female trouble and was not able to do my housework alone. I felt tired, very nervous, and could not sleep. I doctored with several doctors, "They doctored me for my stomach, but did not Telieve ‘me. T read int your book about your medicine, and thought I would try it. T did so, and am now cured and able to do my work alone, and feel good., I was always very Toor, but now weigh one hundred and fifty pounds. “T thank you for the relief I have obtained, and I hope that every woman troubled with female weakness will give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. Ihave recommended it to many of ny friends.” — Mrs. Maria Bowers, Millersville, Ohio. (Aug. 15, 1901.) ‘Will not the volumes of letters from women made strong by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound convince all of the virtues of this medicine ? How shall the fact that it will help them be made plain ? Surely you cannot wish to remain weak, and sick, and discour- aged, exhausted with each day’s work. You have some derange- mentof the feminine organism, and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will help you just as surely as it has others. Weekly Budget of News.

When Clark heard this he con- fessed that he was also a native of the great city, and asked many questions about the places and the changes dur- ing the past few years. He also asked his guest if he had any New York or Brooklyn newspapers, no matter how old, as news from home was always new news. The porter told him that he had only a few old papers (mostly Brooklyn ones) wrapped around some packages in his room on the car, across the street, but he would run over and get them. He did eo, and gave Clark @ bundle of pa- pers about six months’ old. As he handed them to Clark he looked into his face and throngh his full beard, and exclaimed, ‘‘As I live! its Jerry Strat- ton!

W. Gillespie a few days ago, and I find him to be one of the most enterprising young men of the race. Mr. Gillespie has, with honest efforts and fidelity strokes, won the honor and the position as headwaiter of the largest and best hotel of the State of Alabama. Again, it must be remembered that Mr. Gillespie has not only kept pace with the hotel world, as he has not only taken the sceptre from many more experienced than he is in the hotel business, but, while doing this he has set the race an example in accumulating property and wealth which the race so much needs. Mr. Gillespie is not thirty years of age, and is a man of great ability and tack, so much so he is called a genius in his line. Mr. Gillespie does not work any one who is not well trained; therefore he has the best disciplined young men that the times can afford; then, too. I am told that Mr. Gillespie's lectures are touching enough to penetrate a stone heart. A few days ago THE PENCE 132 W. Washington Street, 'Near Park Theatre. Cool Beer Between Acts. Onces a Sport.

I want you all to save your money, own your own homes, support your families and be men that stand for something worth mentioning. He also said that the colored race was young and that so far we had only a few years history, and that we needed to do our very best to hand down to our posterity and to the world at large a record as well as an example, which will stimulate and invigorate all that may chance to see it. I was informed by one of his men that he said in his last lecture to his men he wanted them to make a special effort to save their money as he had a movement on foot—a business enterprise. The men are doing their very best to meet the demands of their dearly beloved head waiter who has led them so successfully in the past. They are endeavoring to prove to him that they highly appreciate his worthy examples and wise councils which he has given them from time to time. Mr. Gillespie has not revealed his plans or the nature of the enterprise as yet, but the men feel assured that it is a great undertaking and one that will be commendable to the race, as Mr. Gillespie never falls to present to them something that is good and inspiring. Mr. Gillespie is loved and honored by all of his men. This is not only true of his men, but he is loved by all who know him of both races. He has been living in Birmingham, Ala., about fourteen years, and it is safe to say that he has not one enemy.

Wilberforce, O. —A very unique and interesting programme was rendered in the chapel at Wilberforce University recently. The numbers consisted of brief reviews of various parts of "The Souls of Black Folks," a new book by Prof. W. E. Burghardt DuBois. The symposium was contributed to by members of the faculty only—the following being the order in which the various chapters were treated: "Of Our Spiritual Strivings," Bruce H. Green; "Of the Wings of Atalanta," Frances A. Lee. Glee Club: "Of the training of Black Men," Joshua H. Jones; "Of the Black belt," Earl E. Finch; "Of the Faith of the Fathers," Richard R. Wright. Glee Club: "Of the Paasing of the First Born," T. Bolden Steward; Of the Coming of John," Charles Alexander: "The sorrow Songs," Harry L. Freeman. On the chapter headed: "Of the Coming of --- John," Mr. Charles Alexander, instructor of Printing, had the following to say: "OF THE COMING OF JOHN" (BY CHARLES ALEXANDER) "On reading this remarkle story for the first time a strange feeling comes over you. The terrible intensity and power of the author's style, the swift dramatic movement, the awful, but intrepid vigor, all conspire to arouse new emotions. The blood tingles in the viene; the heart beats more rapidly—an awful conviction fills the mind—the conviction that education increases and intensifies our feeling of bitterness against man's inhumanity to man and the heartless injustice and wrong imposed upon the weaker class by the stronger element of our population. And as we read the last sentence of the story—the sentence that betrays such tragic meaning, that we can never forget the horrible picture which it presents—a peculiar feeling of unrest and disappointment comes over us—we get an entirely new meaning out of this life of constant strivings. "We discover in the story a profound psychological study, the influence of which lingers in the memory like the outlines of some enchanting and wonderful dream. The language is as elegant poetical as the theme is striking and vital. The very careful delineations are of intense human interest, and are made valuable and effective because of the faithfulness with which they accord with real life and experience. The portrayal of the suffering of a soul, made capable of the loftiest aspirations by broad, systematic training, is so matchless, so vivid, that we can see in the words a mightier meaning than ever before. Here we are given a reliable description of the emotions of the aspiring Negro of education as he is confronted on every hard by social and political barriers. "The principal character in the story is John Jones, a Negro, who is desorbled by the author as 'a long, straggling fellow, brown and hard-haired, who seems to be growing straight out of his clothes.' There is another John in the story, but he is white, and we learn little about him to his credit. Our John is from a small village in Southwestern Georgia. While in an ignorant and illiterate condition, he was counted by the white people in the village as a very handy sort of fellow—good-natured and respectful that he was going off to school they said. 'It'll spoil him—run him!" says the author, 'and' they talked as though they knew.' 'During John's first year in school he was disorderly and inattentive. Nearing the close of the year the faculty suspended him. He felt very badly about it and begged the Dean to please not to write to his mother and sister, that he would improve in his conduct on his return the next year. A serious expression came over his face that day which never left it afterward. When he returned to school the next year he at once showed in his actions that new habits of thought were being rapidly formed in his mind. He gave more attention to his perseal appearance than he had done before; he kept his collar clean and his shoes polished, and a nice dignity orep into his walk, his head was tossed back like that of a proud army officer; and, on the day of his graduation, he stood before that faculty a transformed man. He had grown out of his home environment. Indeed he had new ideas of life—of human equality—of social and political rights; he wanted to be called 'Mr.', and hence when he returned to his Georgia village everything appeared dull and narrow to him. Being capable of appreciating what constitutes an insult and knowing how to resent one, and having ideas of honor and justice firmly fixed in his mind, it is not strange that when the white John, just from a Northern university, attempted to insult his sister, our hero should rebuke the effort with vigorous blows—blows calculated to kill. But 'use penalty for such a deed, committed by a black man in the state of Georgia, means death at the hands of a mob. The grim, ferocious white monsters crowded about him. He did not tremble. He rather pitted them. He could see the revolvers, the rifles, the shotguns, the rope, and other instruments of torture, as the angry men approached him. He turned his eyes toward the sea. 'And the world whistled through his ears.'" Personal and News Notes Los Angeles, Cal., special: Grand reception was tendered Mrs. G. H.

JULY 11. 1903. SOME PLAIN TALK. It is very evident that the press, pul- pit and echoolroom will have to give more attention to the questions on which are based the difficulties between the races. Take the mob question; the custom has been to dangle the law in front of the mob, and to yell the law! the law! the law! even when the crime is such as to make civilization shudder, and which mob, with as good reason, yells the crime! the crime! the crime ! The law is not a thing that stands apart from the people, arbitrarily ; able to do its own execution; it is the people be- hind the law; the sheriff, the constable, the policeman are no less human be- cause they are such, and will be swayed by the human sympathies and senti- ments. They are a part of the people regardless of the fact that they execute the laws; they will feel and act as the people. ‘The epirit of condemnation of crime must be begotten; that is the idea, and it may be believed that when it is generally known that the Negroes de- test the raping spirit in any man much of the ill-feeling will subside. Go on record against the thing and comply with the unwritten laws of oivilized communities, The crime and the law! must be the ory. The white press, and of the North especially, has always con- demned the mob in its highhanded pro- ceeding. It stands for the better olass among the whités—the conservant and saving element; it looks for correspond- ing help from colored men who are situated so that they can do good, It is right and if it is not forthcoming then they will and ought to suffer. ‘The young colored people are driving like mad in the direction of fine clothee, and at any expense. At any expense? Well, at too much expense. That fact has become so patent that it 1s now recognized as ao trait— right in line with red rags and varie- gated beads. It is an aristocracy of good clothes, and the greater number is fighting thelr way upward to be deco- rated with the insignia of that nobility. ‘The hat 1s lifted high to good clothes— higher to better clothes and so on as if the whole of life were clothes. It teaches a fearful lesson, and especially to those who can 60 ill afford to learn it—the girls; and the boys for that matter, who should convert them into houses and land, horses and hogs, plows and planes, and be substantial props ‘and stays to thelr community, to their relatives. Many @ young man has a horse on his back, a hog on his head, and, totally, on his whole person, as represented in money, & house and lot, ‘a garden plot, an orchard—an invest- ment for life. The parent knows that her daughter will not be “in it’ unless she comes up to Mrs. So-and-so’s daugh- ter. Here starts the competition which never ends, but increases with contrl- butions from here and there, and some- times from God knows where. So the thing has got a going, and the whole race is swept, caught up in the vortex, in the whirligig of finery, which means poor houses, crazy asylums in the end or, the God send, early deaths. But, if good clothes must rule, an insane passion that can only be appeased by throwing clothes at it—tn its capa- cious maw—it does not say that we should also be clowns. Genteel clothes call for gentility else we mistreat them. ‘These are the little things, some of them not only demonstrates traits, but con- tribute to racial inflamation through the inconsistencies. Shakespeare says, “zich as thy purse can buy;”’ not richer; affecting the manners of the fine with- out purses in keeping—it counts. It was Prof, David Starr Jordan of Leland Standford University of Califor- nia who sald, that no matter where man is, he will deyelop and present the traits of his forbears, or words to that effect, seeming to insist that in the influencing of man and fixing his dieposition, hered- ity, took priority over invironment. the predominating force, which inviron- ment simply served to mollify or to soften.

The subjeot is one of extreme importance, for upon the rising generation depends the future of the country and the race for weal or for woe. ‘The youths of our land, our boys and girls, are they leading snot lives and developing such habits as are calculated to fit them to become intelli. gent and usefal citizens and respectable members of soolety? ‘This is the ques tion that confronts us, and he must in deed be of a very sanguine tempera ment and of most decidedly optimisti views, who can conscientiously answer this question in the affirmative, or make bold to say that this life, habits an¢ character of the youths of the present day are all that could be desired, or even reasonably satisfactory. In this article we would have it understood that we refer more particularly to youths of ed: ucated or Christian parents. men after leaving school is first of all to enter the government service; failing in that he endeavors to obtain a “clerk- ship” in one of the mercantile establish- ments. By tacit understanding any- thing like manual or industrial labor is tabooed as low and degrading, and al- though the places in the mercantile stores and in the Civil Service are more than crowded, and the salaries now offered are considerably lower than a skilled workman could command, the predilection of the Lagos youths fs still in favor af the former ooonpations. Ho spends the greater part of his salary on dress, boots and collars, and is only able to make ends meet because some indulgent parent helps to keep him. His wants increase in inverse ratio to his rise in salary, and the habit of ex- travagance develops in him to the extent that he is soon landed in pecuniary em- yarrasments, to free themselves from which not @ few have recourse to some criminal act. The records of the Police Court and the Criminal Assize bear wit- ness to how common such practices are getting to be in the commuaity. In his social life the habits of the average young man to betray a levity and an ab- Bence of thoughtfulness that are as glaring as they are censurable. His very amusements and recreations are of ® light and trivial character. Such manly games as cricket, football and other athletic sports which develop a sound mind in a sound body, do not apr peal to him; and it is only on rare occa- sions, once or twice a year,as at Christ- mas or on New Year’s day that such sports are indulged in by him. There are now no regularly organized and standing teams for practice in these sports as in years gone by. With the termination of his school life the aver- age youth is done with books and read- ing. Literary and intellectual joys have no attraction for him. Dancing is his favorite amusement; and while there is not at present in town a single literary or debating soclety in working order that we are aware of it is no dif- ficnlt task to point to any number of dancing clubs, in which practice takes pitce regularly twice or thrice a week. well known is this disposition of the Lagos youth that a concert or a Iterary entertainment has to be supplemented with some grosser amusement, such as a tea-fight or a ticket-danoe, In order to make it a pecuniary success. In this respect it cannot be denied that Lagos has decidedly retrograded. Tho time was when matters were much better. when literary unions lyceums and even & sclentific society flourished in Lagoe, and when the aspirations and ambitions of youth were of a higher order. The age then produced men of sterling char- acter, giants in Intellect and moral stamina; up-right, conscientious, ener: getio; rellable in any emergency, and ready to face and solve problems which their children seem powerless to grap- ple with, RAOE DIFFICULTIES. ‘The killing of Policeman Massey of Evansville, Ind., by a Negro named Lee Brown has caused no end of trouble in that olty and in that part of the State. Owing to the threats of a mob gathered at the jail Lee was hustled off to Vin- cennes for safety. A rumor was etart- ed that he was to be returned after an indictment by the grand jury, in con- sequence of which a mob again gathered about the Evansville jall with the view of making short work of the prisoner. The militia was called ont to disperse the unlawfal gathering, but the mot considered it merely a bluff, and after a time grew bold, insulting the soldiers and in many ways showed contempt for them It got toa point where the taunte could no longer be borne. They were ordered to fire, which they did with dls- aatrous effect; six dead and twenty-five wounded being the result. ‘The authorities from Governor Dur- bin down bave exercised the utmost vigilance in trying to preserve the State against the dlegrace of mob violence which, as the Governor states, is an- called for. Justice was sure and swift for the criminal, Lee Brown, who offended doubly in shooting down an officer of thelaw. The act was atrocious, but not beyond the acts of other men ‘The anti-Negro spirit was beyond it all, Sepirit which the State cannot afford to encourage since it would weaken the force of all law, as {t concerns Negroes, who make np a considerable portion of the State’s population, and also white men who may not happen to bein favor. It goes without eaying that the Ne- groes deplore the crime of Lee Brown and take no pleasure in the awful slaughter that subsequently took place among the people of the city of Evans- ville. We are safe in saying that they feel more Keenly the great loss of life and regret more sincerely the awfal happening than the whites owing to the awfal possibilities hanging on the event. We cali the attention of the Ne groes of the State and elsewhere tc what has transpired in Indiana, urging every man, woman and child to have the utmost respect for the laws, con demning crime in and out of reason by Precept and example. Those that fel dead and wounded, fell in the cause whether for or against Negroes. It { our duty to appreciate the fact by re fraining from such acts as may agait suggest the assembling of men to tak the law in thelr own hands. The Governor of the State and th: authorities merit the utmost respect o' the colored people for their timely in tervention in the matter. without whict a great race war may have begun, end ing* where no man to-day sees, The majesty of the law has been upheld a a fearful cost, but had it been otherwis it would have been greater. AN APPEAL. We feel to speak for the Negroes o! the State when we say that the better class, which is greatly in majority, i not so much in evidence, has no sympa- thy for the murderer, Lee Brown, in the instance or for criminals at any time. They feel that he should have reaped what he sowed, punishment in accordance with his crime, but at the hands of those appointed for such pur: poses. They deplore the awful situa. tion which followed the killing of the officer of the law, and are sorely ontput to know that one of thelr own kind has been the means of so many deaths and s0 much suffering. They feel that un- less the public takes the proper view of the clroumstances, an honest and deter- mined stand for law and order, that thelr subeeqnent life in the State may be filled with trials, vexations and petty persecutions, much of which the laws cannot reach, placing the State, hereto: fore noted for civic uprightness, in the category of States known for viclent opposition to colored people. We take this occasion to appeal to the humanity that is known to reside in the other race, for fair play; condemn- ing and panishing thoee that merit it, and {rewarding those who are living within the laws and also the unwritten laws that govern civilized communities. The colored people feel a deep sense of gratitude to the State and local author- itles for thelr activity in quelling the mob, and also to the hetter white citi- zens of that community who discour: aged the lawlessness from the begin: ning. They sincerely deplore the great logs of life, the inevitable in the pursu- ance of duty, and which loss is on the heads of the mob rather than on the head of the murderer, Brown. 1n view of the peculiar race relations, they are hopeful that colored men may abide strictly by the laws and give no provo- cation that may lead up to the terrible consequences of the past week. They ask ail ina spirit of justice, sometimes tempered with mersy owing to the ig- norance of the fitness of things within the colored race, due to clronmstances over which they had no control. They ask that the torch of enlightenmentalong the lines be turned higher, teaching the law through kindness rather than through brute mob rale, which belies the very virtues preached. They ask that the whites abate thelr prejudices and reason more, bearing in mind that the colored man is not wholly responei- ble for what he ie or where he Is. THE COUNCIL'S ADDREss. In dealing with the mob question the Afro-American Council at Louisville had the following to say in its address to the public: “As to mob violence, it is gratify: ing to note tbat for the past year or two the number of victims show a de- clded decrease; and while all’ these ‘were not members of cur race the vast majority was. But not withstanding this fact, we should not feel called upon to disonss the matter at this time, were it not that, althongh the number of victims is decreasing, the variety of pro- vocations which lead up to this act of violence is growing more and more insignificantand numerous, It is not an unusual thing to read these days of Negroes being lynched for impradence refusing to obey striking a white man eto Now we submit that lynching for any cause is destructive of law, is de- moralizing. But to subject persons ac- cused of, even guilty of such trivial of- fenses as we have indicate, to unlawful punishment and death is to make the Negro e marked man of the Nation, for him to suffer violence for such causes will eventually involve many of oar best people Even as it is in some sec- tions of the country, {t means death for a Negro to attempt to protect the females of bis family. We ask in all sincerity is this Amerloa? Is it right? Such conditions indicate clearly a ten- dency to anarchy; and anarchy for the Negro will terminate in anarchy for all mean.” A movement is on foot to organize the colored business men of Indianap- oli, The Flanner Guild was decided on as the meeting place. Anetfort will be made to send delegates to the Negro Business League which meets in Nash- ville, Tenn., next month. This is the movement which was put on foot by Booker T, Washington, and over which he has presided in all of its annual ses- sions. The local league would doa good thing to organize, send delegates and also capture it for Indianapolis as the next meeting place. It 1s against the law to carry conceal- ed weapons. Several murders have taken place among colored men who had no authority to carryarms. The authorities, it seems to us, could do something toward disarming these “minute” men who are generally look ing for trouble, Honorable, upright men with good intentions have no need for firearms or any other weapons of defense. Men who are looking for trou ble are troublesome. If they are arrest ed and fined to the limit it would d¢ them good. So Mr. Trotter of Boston took excep: tions to the placing, of Mr, Booker T. Washington's picture on the platform at the Afro-American Council Conven- tion in Louisville, Ky. Mr. Trotter is certainly very jejane; while he opposes Mr. Washington’s idea of education, he says but little for his own educational order in making such an uncalled for attack. It is to be hoped that the little inoldent stands for Mr. Trotter pecu- Uarly, and not for Harvard College of which he is a product, Among other things said by Bishop J. W. Hood, senior bishop of the A. M. E, Zion church at Jones Tabernacle last ‘Monday evening were the following. “It 1s neceseary that the race get clo- ser together. The Negro must !mprove and the white man must help him, The Negro in the South is stubbornly push- ing to the front. He is buying land, houses plantations and stook and is hoarding his earnings for the better- ment of his condition. A colored man who aspires to be something and owns nothing is thought little of by his own Trace.” The Afro-American Council elected the following officers: President, TT. ‘Thomas Fortune, New York; secretary, Cyrus Field Adams, Chicago; financial secretary, F. L. McGhee, Minnesota: corresponding secretary, Mrs. Fannie Barrler, Williams, Ill.; chaplain, L. @. Jordan, Kentucky; treasurer, John W. ‘Thompson, New York. A. E, Manning, of Indiana, 1s 8 member of the execu: tive board. President Roosevelt, it is said, attrib: utes much of the ill racial feeling in the North to the slavery system which has been going on in Alabama. He ha: been following closely the Alabama prison cases with the view of prosecu- tion. Mr. Julins Stanfield of Indiana has been appointed special counsel, who will assist in the work of stamping ont the form of slavery that has existed in Alabama ever since the war. The Anti-Mob and Lynch Law Asso olation of Springfield, Ill., which re cently met at Springfield, Ill, has de cided to petition Congress and the President in the behalf of Negroes. It threatens to appeal to the Christian nations of Europe. The assoctation will do well to confine their petitioning te Congress if it must petition, Europe thas its own troubles. The grand jury has already indicted twenty members of the Evansville mob, among whom, it is afd, there are three or four well-known citizens. The prompt action of the jary will doubtles: bave a wholesome effect on that com munity end on the State generally making the assembling of men for un lawfal purposes less liable in the fature. Under the instructions of the Gov: ernor of Indiana companies A, ©. D. and H of the Second Regiment, com pany K of the First Regiment and Bat tery A, First Artillery, with a Gatling gun were promptly sent to Evansville to quiet the disturbance in that olty The formidable array of soldiery had the effect intended. ‘The Rey. James W. Townsend, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, has begun a serles of six sermons at that churcb with the hope of arousing an interest in the general conduct of the people for the better. He begun last Monday night, when he called attention to the home training of the young. Booker T. Washington, as usval, was the inspiration of the Afro-American Council, which recently met at Louis ville, Ky. His very able address wa: remarkable for the sound thought, giv: ing evidence of the most careful atten: tion to the great question of to-day. ‘Those addressing the audience at MoCanley's Theatre, during the Afro American Council at Louisville, last week, were Prof. Booker T.

TURNER WALL They are still at Lemp’s Park, St. Lonis, Mo., indefinite. THE ROYAL PALACE SHOW. King Edward Was Present, Says Geo. W. Walker. By Sylvester Russell. WAS PIRSA SS ae DeSLormeere are in honor of his grandson, Prince Eddy, in honor of his ninth birthday, which tools place in the beautiful gardens at the Royal Palace at Buckingham. No- tably among the things said by Mr. ‘Walker were as follows: “We were treated royally. That is the only word for it. We had champagne from the royal cellar and strawberries and cream from the royal gardens. The Queen was perfectly lovely, and the King was as jolly as he could be, and laughed at everything we did. | The little princes and princesses were as nice as they could be, just like little fairies.” ‘The leading New York papers report that Williams and Walker and their ‘company presented “In Dahomey” in a modified and abridged manner. Bert Williams is said to have carried off the honors as chief entertainer. Ada Over- ton Walker took second honors in her ‘dancing specialty, and Richard Connor and lady scored in the cake walk. It will be remembered that when Lissier- etta Jones (Black Patti) visited Bu- rope the efforts of her managers to have her appear before her Majesty, Queen Victoria, were fraught with all sorts of conflicting reports. She had ‘entertained royalty, but it was at last impossible to tell whether she had ap- peared before the Queen or not. This is one reason why I have been on the evasive side of the improbabilities of a Williams and Walker managerial boom. We have no reason to dispute Mr. Walker's assertion. We are proud ‘to know that opportunity was afforded the company to even reach the royal palace. A command from the king is ‘the highest honor, as Mr. Walker says, that can be paid to a theatrical company in England. The grandilo- quence of Mr. Walker’s performance as a king is nothing startling beyond the mere significence of the character. He made a great time about his “char- acter” through the press, but said nothing about his partner, Williams. [ do not believe that either his perform- ance or his stature as a king made any more than a mere mosquitoe’s impres- sion on King Edward. To Bert Wil- liams and his modesty falls the honors. of having had Prince Eddy join in the chorus of his song, “I'm a Jonah Man.” ‘The “Press Alliance” has also told us the happy tale that Will Ma- rion Cooke wrote the music and Paul Lawrence Dunbar wrote the libretto. ‘The truth of the matter is that, Jesse Shipp wrote the biggest part of the book, and deserves more credit than either of the men mentioned. It is not prejudice against any of the actors that leads me to assail these reports, put the deception of managers and the ill effect it has on a race of willing performers, ill directed by past pre- eedents to’ accept honors that they have never won. Notwithstanding the fact that Negro performers have hard road to travel, there is nothing impossible with those who are under the management o frich white man- agers. Not only then to the present actors, but to the future generation, must the ultimate success of Negro performances be based upon truthful- ness. ‘The success attending Williams and Walker and their company is a grand achievement to themselves and to the race to which they belong. When they return to America a tre- mendously warm welcome awaits them on every hand. They must not let the white people destroy their modesty by undue flattery. On their return it will be modesty alone, even dreams of charity and their duty to their fellow-man, that glorious command of God, that will en- dear them to the hearts of the people of their own race. Although I have reminded these two ‘distinguished comedians the wisdom of things which actors of their race have never been taught, the glory of the present belongs to’ them. They haye reached the highest position they ‘will ever be able to attan or that any other colored comedians will be able to attain except in advanced art educa- tion and a more perfect comedy. What- ever these two noted comedians do or ‘undertake in the future will be watch- ‘ed by the people of the world. In cases ot actor charity with their own race of actors, they can easily afford to let any future effort of charity pass unrecog- ‘nized and still receive the applaus of the world in general. ‘The duty of the ‘strong to the weak is only a command ‘of God, and not the command of a king, with all his servants, host and earthly ritualism. However lightly this statement may be regarded by a certain class of peo- ‘ple or the actor “lobbyist,” its pre- ‘cepts will live even beyond the lives of two actors or a man king torn.to rule the people in a land where God had created all people equal. I am not teaching intelligent actors, but I think the ignorant ones will learn something after a while, and those of the future will learn it good. I write according, to conditions suitable to my own race. The world can look on to approve or disapprove as_ it chooses. If I live long the Negro pro- fession will be more happy when I die, perhaps sorry, but I will leave them something behind to mumble over. It will be a doctrine of truth. I éan't spend all my time lauding actors, man- 1.00—The Freeman, one year—1.00. Rialto Notes. Kersands’ Humiliation—The pub: lished reports of the waning ability of Billy Kersands is a direct object lesson to coming minstrel stars to husband their talent—and finances, too—for the period When Dame Nature demands that the vital forces shall be given a rest from its strenuousness. That Ker- sands should struggle on despite the tact that his powers of attractiveness are each day becoming diminished is certainly a most humiliating contem- plation for his moments of reflection. ‘When I saw Billy in the heighth of his fame twenty years ago, Tom McIntosh was dividing honors with him, and it seems quite a contrast that to-day Mc- Intosh gives no signs of retrogression mentally, and still evokes applause— not: from former admirers—from audi- ences whose discriminating tastes are very acute.

No intelligent actor, who keeps abreast of the times, can deny that the growing importance of the colored performer does not demand some organization that will unite them into a community of interest profes- sionally, and each day of indifferent de- lay only augments the difficulty of its establishment. see Note a “Dead” Society.—Because there are other associations, having for their prime object the care of the sick, and burial of the dead, should not de- ter the actors from making an effort. ‘While the actors will undoubtedly give due attention to those phases of life, ‘there are other considerations which demand notice while the recipients are on terra firma. For instance: How many hundreds of dollars could be saved had the actors a building, with a neat stage, where rehearsals of new pieces by members of the profession could take place? Then, again, it would serve as a rebuke to give a benefit per- formance to swell the coffers of the or- ganization. eee ‘Topnotch—So you went through col- lege? What did it cost you?

From the great west, middle west, New England and all parts of the south, there are assur- ances that the representation will be numerous and influential. The reasons for this strong activity along commer- cial and business lines among our peo- ‘ple are not difficult to find. With our | political status in the balance, with so- cial privileges almost prohibitively cur- tailed, and a public sentiment that looks at our very existence askant, the ‘wise Negro is determined to change these conditions by the natural methoa of going to the root of the aversion and trying to remove the causes that make ithe black race to be discriminatea against here and despised there, ac- cording to section, in this land of our birth and alleged citizenship. What- ever may be the American attitude as to our suffrage, our social position, or our civil relation to the white element of the body politic, the one point where prejudice does not reach us painfully is in our business life, or the matter of internal development. In business, we deal with the whites withort ques- tion, In our churches, schools, families and fraternal organizations, we are per- mitted to follow the bent of our incli- nations, as long as our movements do not affect unpleasantly the happiness of the ruling classes. ‘The shrewd Negro has learned that since this is the case, the sensibie thing to do is to use this one lever—business—as the fulcrum of our progress, and upon it construct a national life of our own, develop an in- ternal solidarity, that will compare favorably in honor, dignity, wealth, culture and character with the best civ- ilization of the whites. This farseeing class of Negroes argue that it is useless to whine over the privileges that are denied us by the owners of the world’s commodities, when we have the strength, capacity and inherent qualt- ties to make for ourselves the posses- sions which we see now in their hands We can have temples of worship, places of amusement, educational institutions libraries, farms, groceries, drug stores newspapers, steamboats, and dry goods houses, and we have ministers, teach- ers, merchants, carpenters, physicians, lawyers, architects and farmers—in fact, we have all the ingredients, in a more or less crude state, for the estab- lishment of a people—“separate as the fingers in all things social, but one as the hand in the material development of the nation.” At the bottom of all this is money—to be gotten by the strengthening of character and capact- ty among us, and then dug out through the channels of business. Business 1s @ comprehensive and harmless term, which comprehends the whole area of fundamentals in the building of a race, It is “up to the Negro” to secure these fundamentals as the first step in the permanent establishment of the race, and the central purpose of those who have been wise enough to discover this solution of the vexed problem is re- flected in the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. Booker T. Wash- ington is president. That this organt- zation should be sustained and aug: mented in power and influence eacn year is not open to question.

While the Negroes in the country at large are stirring up interest in the big meeting at Nashville, from which so much good to the entire race is certain to be evolved, what are the colored people of Washington doing to assist in this cause? That is a question that ought to be answered by enthusiastic meet~ ings on the part of our enterprising business factors. Washington has an abundance of them. All they lack is the leadership of a strong, race-loving, aggressive man, whose life and busi- ness dealings have been above reproacn of dishonesty, and whose career has been free from the stain of self-seeking, We have such men in many walks of business. Will they sacrifie a small measure of their time, and rally those who are merely waiting for the com- mand: “Forward, march?” It is universally regretted that the Board of Education is to lose such # valuable man as Gen. George H. Har- ries, who retires after a long and useful service because of the pressure of his large business interests, Gen. Harries has always been a friend to the colorea people, and the disposition to give us representation in many affairs, relating to education or public functions, has been due to his urgency and personal dictation. We have often marveled at the General's enormous capacity for work. It would fill the larger part of this column to enumerate the interests with which he is connected in the Dis- trict of Columbia—interests affecting the street-car systems, National Guard, journalism, Board of Trade, banking, insurance, secret societies and many other enterprises of vital concern to the people. It will be difficult to find any- ‘one who can fill Gen. Harries’ place on the Board, as satisfactoriiy to the Ne- gro as he has filled it, lo these many years. us It is settled that President Roosevelt will be renominated without opposition. He has impressed his ability and char- acter upon the country as few men could have done, and he has convinced the people that what a nation like this needs in these trying times is a fear- less moulder of sentiment, vigorous in body as well as in mind, healthful in thought as in constitution, and who has the power of courageous initiative, not one content to follow tradition or precedent that has no justification in necessity or common sense. Mr. Roose- velt is a gentleman of the broadest cut- ture, a statesman in all that the term implies, and whose policy in regard to all publie questions from the tariff to individual rights, is expressed in a perennial and significent demand for “a square deal.” Roosevelt is a president that a republic finds just about once in a generation, and the wonder in our mind is that such an ideal executive could reach his exalted place and hold it, when the armies of corruption, loot, race prejudice and tyranny of money-kings are arrayed —_ solidly against him and his methods, Only by the old adage that “Corruption wins not more than honesty,” is the enigma an- swered—of circumstances, guided and fructified by the interposition of the hand of the Almighty. Roosevelt wil not only break the chain of vice-prest- dential executives who have failed to achieve a nomination for the head ot the ticket, but will rise to the prest- dency by the will of the people, atter having béen placed there by accident. Now that the presidential nomina- tion is no longer debatable, interest hedges about the individual who wit adorn the tail of the national ticket, Ik goes without the saying that he win |come from west of the Alleghenies— but how far west is the question. Our ‘first choice, without hesitation, would be Charles Warren Fairbanks, but as he prefers for the present to remain in the Senate, and will naturally figure very strongly in the running in 1908 for the presidency, it is not likely that he could be even drafted for service as second next year. Our next choice would be another Indiana—that _peer- less orator and well-balanced man of affairs, whose stars shines out clear and promising, Senator Albert Jere- miah Beverage. He would be a power on the stump, and with Roosevelt's dashing personality ahead of him, the two would rally the young men of the country with a whoop. They woula fire the imagination of the young and attract the conservative, yer progres- sive spirit of the older contingent. We do not claim to be a prophet, or the son of a prophet, but I stand’ to miss a serious bet if the old “New Yori and Indiana combine" doesn’t win out In the national convention ‘in 1904 ana send out a banner to the breeze bear- ing the names of “Roosevelt anu Jev- eridge.” Watch it.

Mr, Dutton is a worthy man, and possesses the business capacity to ake a thoroughly competent supervi- sor of the working force of the Record- er's office, He succeeds Col. G. F. Schayer, resigned, a veteran in the ser- vice, who was well-liked by all with whom he came in contact. It is well- known that Recorder Dancy, who is a race man through and through, wished to place this honorable and lucrative Position upon the shoulders of a well- known colored man of the middle west, but the District pressure for Dutton Was too strong and persistent to be suc- cessfully resisted, and Mr. Dancy dia what seemed to be pleasing to the peo- ple who supplied the revenues of the office—the citizens of the District of Co- lumbia. Columbia West, it is under stood, is the influence which secured the place for Mr. Dutton. Mr. Dancy 1s making a model recorder and no officer under the government here has earned. a higher degree of genuine popularity, than the distinguished North Carolint- aac bama and Georgia, In Alabama, where the revival of this form of slavery has been most marked, Judge Thomas G. Jones, has thrown the white light of publicity upon the crimes of those who have been holding in enforced servitude a lot of defenceless Negroes, and grand jury indictments have resulted. When the cases come to trial, there is no doubt that severe punishment will be meted out to the offenders, and the sys- tem will in a short time, be wiped out of existence. For once, the enlightened public sentiment of the State of Ala- bama finds itself against peonage, ana proudly records itself upon the side of proper enforcement of the law, and hu- mane treatment of Negro convicts who cannot Pay their fines, Great credit is due District Attorney Reese for his keen and incisive work in supporting the policy outlined by Judge Jones in the handling of these cases, risking ostracism and misconstruction in so doing. Judge Jones will be remembered as that fine specimen of the high-grade southern gentleman, who was urged for appointment to his present post of su- preme usefulness to the race by Booker 'T, Washington. The judgment of the Tuskegee “Wizard” has again been more tian vindicated. Mr. Roscoe Conkling Murray Sim- mons, one of the race's most versatile and prolific writers, who has been do~ ing special work on the Charleston Ad- vocate for the past year, in conjunction with his duties as principal of the pub= lie school at Greensboro, Ga., is now located in a snug berth at Jackson, Miss. He is private secretary to Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, receiver of pub- lic moneys at that point. Mr. Simmons is in every way, most admirably fitted for the position. It gives us pleasure to know that he has found so congenial a work, and an employer whose rise to eminence offers such an inspiration to young men as does that of Mr. Mont- gomery, the founder and erstwhile mayor of the town of Mound Bayou, Miss. Mrs, Willie M. Harris, Doctor of Pharmacy, at the Memorial Day exer- cises at Harmony Cemetery, recited a poem entitled “Lite Through Death,” written by Lieut. R. B.S. Toomey, att thor of a volume of poems called “Thoughts for Young Americans.” The Washington Post complimented both Mrs. Harris and Lieut. Toomey by printing the verses in full on the day following their rendition.
