INDIANAPOLIS IND., SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1903. AND STILL THEY KEEP IT UP. RUSSIA JEWS NEGRO, BURNING AT STAKE CAR. 08 RUS$IA--But You Are The Light Of Civilization. LADY AFRICA'S MINSTRELS. By Sylvester Russell. Al and Mamie Anderson and their so-called Lady Africa company ended a two weeks' engagement at the beautiful Crescent Gardens, Revere Beach, Boston, Mass., June 27th. Lady Africa, on this occasion, was not a comedy, as I had expected to see, but a concoction of vaudeville, burlesque and minstrelsy, served up in summer style. The performance opened with a minstrel first part preceded by a chorus of sailor girls in Cole and Johnson's travesty duo, "Tell Me, Dusky Maiden," and other well-rendered choruses. The minstrel stars were Johnny Green, Bobby Kemp, Leslie Triplet, Will Cooke and Bill Briggs. Mamie Anderson, attired in a skyblue flowered silk dress, cut in Queen Elizabeth style, and with diamonds in her ears, appeared at the end of the travesty and announced that she was Lady Africa. She took a seat in the center chair and the "first part" proceeded. Chief honors of the minstrel performance fell to Johnny Green. Green is naturally adapted to minstrelsy, and if he were confined to such work he would soon acquire distinction. Bobby Kemp and Bill Briggs both had to labor to hold their own. Will Cooke, a good singer and dancer, went them one better. Leslie Triplet, well known as a good comedy actor, was third end man—there he sat, dethroned from comedy, longing for something to do. "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" was well rendered by a bass singer whose name was not on the bills, and which generally means in other cases as well as this that good singers are not rated to be valuable by managers of colored shows. The music lovers, all around me, who held their ears to listen to this voice, and who generally come to a colored show for no other purpose, constitute the element of people whose patronage is falling off because their favorite style of good singing is generally omitted. The olio opened with Happy Bill Briggs. He presented an interesting monologue and his songs were all up to date, except one parody which was old and ends—"kill the son of a gun!" "Christian," foot cyclist, was the next thing on the bill. Although handicapped by a rather small rough stage, he went through his performance without a flaw. He is an expert on toe wheels and his performance on an elevated table filled with electric lights made a hit, and his appearance and wardrobe was in every way pleasing. In spite of an all-star company, the appearance of Al and Mamie Anderson was the signal for an uproar. Their rendition of "Things Ain't the Same, Babe; I'm Coming Home," characteristically, was grand. Mamie Anderson, gifted with a rare voice of natural sweetness, must not try to fill the capacity of a vast summer auditorium. ANDERSON A GREAT COMEDIAN. Al Anderson, as a comedian of the natural type belonging to his own race, is a greater actor than either Tom McIntosh or the late Billy Eldridge. He is not far behind the two greatest comedians of their race—the legitimate artistic actor Cole or Mr. Bert Williams. What he may lack essentially in comedy experience could easily be made up in his naturalness; his very clever original dancing and his easy method of making the most of every CONTINUED ON FIFTH PAGE.

THE WEEKLY EVENTS GATHERED FROM ALL PARTS BY OUR CORRESPONDENTS. A CONDENSED PUBLICATION OF Many Important Happenings of the Past Few Days-A Comprehensive Review Most Likely to Prove of Interest to Our Many Readers. Chattanooga, Tenn., special: The convention of the East Tennessee W. Mite Missionary convened in the A. M. E. Church at Winchester, Tenn., Thursday, July 9, 1903, 9 a. m. Rev. Mrs. A. J. Hughes, of Winchester (local society), in the chair. Rev. Wm. Riggins, of Dechard, conducted the devotional exercises, after which Rev. T. W. Haligher stated the object of the meeting. Rev. A. J. Hughes was elected president, Mrs. Nannie (Giles) Fench secretary, Rev. A. J. Hughes treasurer and Rev. T. W. Haligher reporter. Of the 39 appointments in the East Tennessee Conference, only five charges were represented, viz.: Warren Chapel (Chattanooga), $; Davidson Chapel (Chattanooga), $; Russica's Chapel (Winchester), $; Dechard, $; LaFollette, $; total $15. Miss Lucy Harris, of Davidson Chapel, Chattanooga, Tenn., read a phrase, "Means to Extend the Borders of Zion." The paper was a good production, which was endorsed by the convention. Rev. Wilson, of the Baptist Church, was introduced and made remarks. Presiding Elder Rev. T. Y. Moore and Rev. J. H. Turner made all feel glad by words of encouragement. Rev. Dr. T. W. Haligher preached at night. All seemed to enjoy the sermon, after which Mrs. Nannie Giles made the address. The session was well attended by members and friends of the church and was a pleasant affair. This was the first effort on the part of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society in East Tennessee Conference. Though small it promises to do great things. It is better farther on. Each presiding elder was asked to have his district do its part for the Women's Mite Missionary fund at the district conference, so as to be well represented at the annual conference.

Coming "Down the Pike" Barton, the Washington Correspondent, Speaking of the Society and Political Cords Along that Key's Great Path--Politics the Most Eminent. The Freeman Would Like To See Washington, D. C., special, July 20, Mr. William M. Wilson, of the office of the Recorder of Deeds, delivered an excellent address not long ago before the lycetum of the Ebenezer M. E. Church, taking for his theme, "Booker T. Washington: A Man Who Has Found His Work." The philosophy expounded by the principal of Tuskegee Institute was thoughtfully set forth by Mr. Wilson, and the common-sense view of education illustrated by his work was cleverly presented. Mr. Wilson was frequently applauded and the meeting was pronounced valuable by all because of the several attempts to mislead the masses as to the real purpose and effect of the teachings of Dr. Washington. "DOWN THE PIKE." The Pen and Pencil Club has been discussing DuBois's "Souls of Black Folk." The usual conclusion was reached that the work is an excellent literary production, but of little practical or permanent value. It is a fine-put incident of American prejudice, but suggests no remedy. It is an eloquent bill of complaint, but offers no means by which the Negro can alter the conditions that press so heavily upon the race. The misconception of the purposes and effects of the teachings of Dr. Booker T. Washington is a blunder of the most mischievous nature, and is the one blot that fatally mars the good that might have been done by some of the historical data presented. *** The warm welcome which Editor T. Thomas Fortune received in Washington upon his home coming, was in happy accord with the eternal fitness of things. The Sage of Red Bank is the race's most brilliant editor, its most sagacious organizer, and has never hesitated to show his fidelity to the highest interests of the Negro people. We are hoping to see Mr. The Freeman Wo Dr. Crum confirmed. Our teachers better paid. A colored Consul to Cuba. Every man buying a home. A first class race paper in Boston. An Indiana running mate for Roosevelt. T. Thomas Fortune governor of the Philippines. The summer schools for teachers largely patronized each year. School terms lengthened in the rural districts of the South. A new bank in Washington conducted by honest men of our race. Our people understand the difference between liberty and license. Indiana avenue Negroes find work on the farms adjoining the city. Prof. W. H. Richards assigned to a judicial position in Porto Rico. Judge Thomas G. Jones of Alabama on the United States supreme bench. Many Negro productions on exhibition at the St. Louis World's Fair. Educated men put their knowledge into the working capital of the race. Laymen in the purely executive offices of the large religious denominations. The national organizer of the Afro-American Council do some organizing. The Washington Bee get "on the Lord's side" in matters of race benefit. Negro emigrants to the North settle in the rural districts and stay out of the cities. Officers elected by our national bodies who will actually do the work assigned to them. The 1904 session of the National Negro Business League held at Indianapolis, Ind. The "Chicago Conservator" change hands again—it would do the sheet untold good. More Negro names on the list of contributors to the race's educational institutions. A Negro bank in every community where there is a considerable colored population. Sympathetic co-operation between the races throughout the country, North and South. --- THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Fortune honored soon with a substantial position under the government, yet one wherein he can still wield the trenchant pen and remain at the head of that vital combination of mental and moral force, the National Afro-American Council. The interview of Major Charles R. Douglass with the President on the bank situation is bearing fruit. Numbers of government employees, whose accounts were pronounced worthless by the receivers, are paying up. There is still hope that the depositors may save a small per cent. from the wreck, and there is a strong suspicion that before the incident is closed the blame for the disastrous failure will be fixed upon some individuals in a most unpleasant fashion. *** It looks as if Rev. J. Harvey Anderson has the inside track for the editorship of the Star of Zion. And Prof. J. H. Jackson, "from out West," is in the path of the editorship of the Christian Recorder lightning. Rev. J. W. Smith is sure to be a bishop by the Zionites, and in the Bethel arena, Rev. J. M. Townsend, Dr. H. B. Parks, Dr. H. T. Johnson and Dr. J. M. Conner stand a "mighty good show." * * * We are glad to see that the energetic labors of Hon. Charles W. Thompson for his constituents in the Fifth district of Alabama, are meeting with such a high degree of appreciation that a determined effort is being set on foot to make him the next Governor of the State of Alabama. Congressman Thompson would prove a worthy successor to Governor Jelks. No advocate ever spoke in a courtroom in the Southland with half the force and candor as did Judge Thos. G. Jones, delivering his charge to the jury, advising conviction in the poage cases recently on trial. The fact that the jury failed to do its duty uld Like To See Some colored teachers in Porto Rico to keep Prof. O. M. Wood from becoming lonesome. The preachers exerting a more strenuous interest in the temporal welfare of their brethren. Ex-Governor Atkinson of West Virginia adequately recognized by the national administration. Labor unions include the Negro in their program of bettering the condition of the workingman. New and more vigorous blood in the editorial sanctums of several of our once powerful newspapers. Leaders who belong permanently in a community, and who have a residence outside of their grlp-sacks. Isaac H. Smith place in nomination the democrat whom he thinks can beat Roosevelt for the presidency. Washington City "get into the game" and help the Negro of the nation to bat out a few runs for its cause. The better side of our life portrayed by white correspondents who visit the South as well as the grotesque and immoral. Northern Negroes take a few lessons from Southern Negroes in the art of getting a full-Nelson on this world's goods. More white men read Negro papers and thus grasp the sentiment of the race upon the burning issues of the times. Morgan, Rookefeller, Clark, Schwab and some of the other multi-millionaires follow the example Mr. Carnegle has so nobly set. Dr. L. H. Harris of Washington, the H. H. Warner of the race, with his famous "Blood Tonic" as his claim to distinction. The Middle West insist upon the election of Rev. J M. Townsend to the Bishopric at the A. M. E. General Conference next spring. All lines of business among our people represented at the meeting of the National Negro Business League in Nashville next month. Somebody put a quietus on one Francis B. Livesey of Maryland, who prides himself upon being an advocate of the abolition of Negro schools of every kind. A national press association that will take up and discuss ways and means for increasing the circulation, influence and financial returns of the profession that has so much to do with the development of our people. An excursion run from Boston to Tuskegee to give the coterie of "smart RACE CLEANINGS makes the honesty and courage of the just Judge Jones shine all the brighter. *** Of the 19,000 colored females in Washington engaged in gainful occupations, 16,000 are classed as servants and washerwomen. Only 3,000 are earning their living in the forty-eight other classifications made by the census office, including teaching and pursuits which utilize the so-called "higher" education. *** Has any one the nerve to bring to the attention of Andrew Carnegie the vast benefit that would accrue to the Negro race should he give a liberal endowment for the establishment of a great National Negro newspaper and publishing house, with headquarters at some point in the "black belt," like Atlanta? Mrs. Mary Church Terrell's account of the Tuskegee commencement printed in the Post of the 16th is said to have made "Dr." George H. Richardson forget that he had just received a raise in salary. **** A leading civil engineer has discovered that Boston is sinking at the rate of one-eighth of an inch a year. In view of the awful burden that Baltimore has had to carry of late, we are not surprised. **** Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is taking steps to eradicate the terrible "mouth disease" now prevalent among cattle. The case of "Prof." Ferris will no doubt be brought to his attention early. **** It is being given out here that Uncle Mark Hanna will name the Republican candidate for Vice-President, and that Ohio will "land" the plum. It belongs, however, to Indiana. Up to date the Negroes of America Alexanders' who libel the good name of that town a chance to behold the wonders of the matchless institution the genius of Booker T. Washington has constructed. RACE Dr. R. E. L. Holland was elected Secretary of the colored medical association held at Marlin, Tex., recently. Preparations are being made in Jacksonville, Fla., far the reception of the Supreme Council, 83 Scottish Rite Masons, and the Imperial Council, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, in September. It is said that during the sitting of the supreme bodies fully 150 new members will be initiated in these higher degrees of Masonry. --- After the meeting of the Arkansas State Bar Association which met at Little Rock July 14 16 a colored National Bar Association was organized --- Rev.

Enterprising colored men of Jackson, Tenn., have formed a company, and have purchased a large park, to be used as a pleasure resort for the Negroes of that vicinity. They are solving the problem of race discrimination in places of amusement by providing themselves with a recreation spot of their own. We have 2,500,000 Negro children in public schools 35,000 Negro teachers; 45,000 students in higher institutions, 30,000 students learning trades, 3,000 students pursuing classical and scientific courses; 15,000 students pursuing business courses.

Perry Carson is still touring Mexico, Texas and other places in the great Southwest. He writes that his health is greatly improved. *** Washington was not represented at the Louisville meeting of the National Afro-American Council—more's the pity. Education, wealth and Christian character are the natural forerunners to political and civil rights. *** Are you getting ready to go to the National Negro Business League's great meeting at Nashville? *** Justice Brewer says it all when he pronounces lynchers to be murderers, pure and simple. *** Prof. Kelly Miller has dubbed Tillman as "Senator from the South at Large." *** Howard University affairs are enjoying a lull during the "heated term." *** Editor W. Calvin Chase is lodged securely on the Roosevelt "band wagon." *** Dr. Crum says he did not say it. Dr. Crum is an honorable man. BERTRAM BARTON.

Felix Weir, received as a remembrance, for ability and his execution upon the violin at the graduating exercises held in the Auditorium Theatre. Chicago, Ill., a diamond medal, he being the only colored one out of a class of nearly 150, all white. A grand ovation was given him. The Negro mechanic is finding a field for himself, in proportion, as the race develops the spirit of co-operation—our men and women put their money together and embark into the arena of business. The fine headquarters of the Independent Order of St. Luke at Richmond, Va, which has just been dedicated, was designed by a Negro architect, was erected by a firm of Negro contractors, and all the mechanics employed in its construction were members of our race. The organization responsible for this very commendable example of race enterprise is one of the most vigorous and progressive combinations in the country. A noteworthy case is that found in Gonzales, Texas, where Mr. Oscar Lewis, a young colored man, is a clerk in a white dry goods store.

Boston Hotels The headwaiters and sidewaiters of the various hotels of Boston are sald, on the whole, to be the most talented waiters in the United States. Among the hotels of Boston we note the following headwaiters: James Betts, Young's Hotel. John Taylor, Savoy. Charles Moore, Bellevue. James Artry, Hotel Ceoll. Pompey Gray, Vendome Hotel. Notes from Minneapolis, Minn. The hotel business holds up good here and waiters are scarce. The club pays thirty-five per month for regular men and seventy-five cents for dinner men, and I am in want of both. The West Hotel is doing a nice business with Mr. A. L. Machitt head in the cafe, Richard Owlesy, captain, with a large crew of men and all first class waiter on both plans. The white headwaiter did not last long, and there is an entire colored crew all through the hotel. The Commercial Club has been newly decorated and refitted throughout. It has a crew of good waiters and they give good service. I will strive to hold up the banner so that it will never be said that the colored crew has been let out for any cause. My motto is "Men, help hold up the worthy ones of the race." C. W. DWYER. Headwaiter. Junius O. Bethel, formerly at the Chancellor, Parkersburg, W. Va., who recently accepted the position of headwaiter at the Imperial, Steubenville, O., has resigned. In a recent issue we made a mistake in saying that Mr. Bethel was formerly headwaiter at the Chancellor when, in fact, Mr. Wm. A. Stuart is the headwaiter at the Chancellor. W. B. Watson is the genial and hospitable headwaiter for the Hartford Lunch Company at 215 W. 63d street, New York City. He has about twenty-five men in his employ, all of whom are readers of The Freeman. Better Service. A desire for better service, as well as improved cuisine, is attracting the leading lights of the colored hotel fraternity. They are awakening to the demands of the needs of the hour, and it is well that they are. Colored men must progress and they must improve their opportunities if they hope to accomplish any good in any line. This is an age of advancement, and men of any color who do not keep apace and in touch with its progress are doomed to be outclassed and must be relegated to the rear. The advantages of hotel life is in favor of the Negro, but he must be made to understand that he can only keep these advantages by raising the standard and importance of his position, however menial. Labor must be dignified and colored waiters must learn to dignify their calling. Charles H. Plummer, headwaiter at the Brunswick, Unlontown, Pa., has given the question much study, and along this line he says: "I now believe I have found it, and in it the problem of the United States colored waiter has been solved. I find FORD HOTEL, SALT LAKE RES, HEADWAITER. that bad service is brought about by two persons, namely, unexperienced proprietors and untrained waiters. There has been many proprietors, thinking it a nice thing to be head of some large hotel, not knowing the responsibility that rests upon a hotel proprietor, goes into the business, taking with him some of his old acquaintances who, perhaps, have never been in a dining room before and makes a headwaiter of him, and they make their contracts thus: Mr. Boss—I will be your headwaiter, and Boss whatsoever thou sayest I will do. I'll work for $6 per week, and you can tell them I'm getting $10, and after this contract is written out by the proprietor or clerk poor old John sees the paper and the marks, the proprietor will say to him, 'John, touch the pen,' and that closes a bargain for thirty years. If John would chance to change his vest and found that he had left this piece of paper at home in it, he would start back home. Another cause for bad service is there is no premium upon good service, for instance the apprentice gets the same wages as the professional waiter, and the professional feels that he has accomplished nothing in mastering the art, he will either become indifferent or he will get out of the business. Suppose we look at it in this sense. If a man can get as much when not knowing as when knowing what advantage is there in knowing? The thing to do is to put a premium on good service and denounce bad service, and thus encourage good service. The greeman, as admitted by all Negro newspapers, is the peer of weekly journals.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1903. It is rather late in the civil career of the colored people to find it necessary to pay them special attention in the platforms of parties, but in spite of the desires, and in spite of the unAmerican idea that specializes race when making a general appeal to what is considered a common, we find that the race question yet occasionally creeps into the best regulated platforms, thereby becoming an issue in the campaign of today like that of years ago. The Democratic party, in convention last week, felt it necessary to refer to the Negro, and in such a manner that some comment is expected. From all appearances the convention was trying to make the very best of the situation, but in doing so it somewhat misrepresents the Republican party when it seeks to hcidit responsible for the Negro situation. The platform says: It has by its method made Indianapolis a city of refuge for lawless Negroes expelled from the South, who prey on the people's property, menace the peace and safety of the public, and bring reproach on the reputable element of their own race. While the condition is not very much overstated, nor the possible result, but it is obviously unfair to charge the Republican party with criminal neglect of duty. What is on in Indianapolis is on in other Northern cities that make up the flood gates to the North. The colored people acknowledge a serious condition and are doing much with the hope of relieving it, but they do not feel that it is due to any political party. The free and easy elements are escaping the pressure of the South; they are as the scum that come to the surface, much in evidence, but worthless; they, while most in need of, cannot stand restraint of any kind, and here they come, to infest and congest our streets and thoroughfares, taking freedom for license. The platform on the question still says: We make war on no race. We recognize that there are good and bad men of all colors. We promise such an enforcement of the laws against vagrancy, criminal association, carrying concealed weapons and similar offences, as will make Indianapolis a city to be shunned and not sought by this lawless element. Had it read, in conclusion, "and not sought by the lawless element of either race," it would have been quite ideal. But, as it is, the Democrats have done very well on paper; they have done the very agreeable when we remember the past notions of Messrs. Keach et al. on the Negro proposition. They, it seems, have "suffered" a change of heart; it won't hurt them, and, according to Shakespeare, they are thrice armed because in the right. In considering this question further from a non-partisan standpoint, and in the light of recent events, the treatment of the Democratic party, by some colored men who posed, some of their big men and smaller ones, has not been "calculated" to warm up the cockles of its heart to Negroes. These men enjoyed the hospitality of that party, but endured with it in its season of fatness, only. They joined "de pahty" on honor, but just as soon as this "honoh" failed to take visible form—some tangible—let me feel something, they deserted man after man until there is scarcely one left to tell the tale. Of course the missionary spirit displayed the colored people by the Democrats was not based on love, but they were not killed by that quality anywhere. It is no won- THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER der that the head and front swore not to have more to do with the faithless Negroes. But it is again the season of calms and once more is extended the olive branch of peace. The colored man may yet elect his party as he selects his shoes—to suit himself. To do other wise is to prove unworthy of the franchise and liberty bought with so much blood and tears. The Democratic convention did no bad thing in its platform last Saturday. If it can now perform as it promises then, in the event it succeeds, the Negroes will not need to drive on up to Chicago for an abiding place. The echo of the Evansville mobbing affair was heard in Danville, Ill, last Saturday night, where a Negro was hung and partially burned, the detail's of which are well known by this time. The Negro, Metcalf, shot down a young German butcher with whom he had been quarreling. The mob, which was already on a man hunt—another Negro who is charged with assault on a white woman—lost no time in making short work of Metcalf. The city of Danville, which has the reputation for beauty and peace, has been gradually worked up for just such an event as took place. Its citizens, many of them, did not take kindly to the number of Evansville Negroes that sought that city as a suitable location after their trouble in Evansville. It is also said that the new administration replaced four of the jail guards with colored men as well as replacing an entire white fire company with Negroes. These things, taken together with the influx of Negroes and the ugly spirit engendered owing to the Evansville incident, have, without doubt, had much to do with the late mob. At this time, knowing what Indianapolis is undergoing in the way of rowdyism among our own people, we can only point to the awful work as a warning. It is not overstating it to say that right here in this city there are places that need police supervision every night. Rowdyism is the term exactly; the colored folk are not always malicious, but turbulent, loud, quarrelsome. They are more often unconscious sinners, but ignorance of the law does not excuse them; they become nulsances without knowing it; they are bent on dressing well, but acting in opposition. Young men dancing on street corners, shuffling along until late in the night, talking as if their neighbors lived in Mars, going to bed, seemingly, never, nor permitting others to sleep when in bed, are some of the common offenses and which are considered their "rights" when told about them. The lamentable fact about it all is that they will never understand that just such things create the feeling against them. They attribute it to the meanness of the white people when they are out on the streets, taking possession of cities when the white people are in bed. One way or another our people must be reached. We are having necks broken right along, but no one seems to be disturbed except the individual for more than a moment then 'tis "on with the dance." Those who may happen to see this or any article written with the view of better conduct are not the offensive ones. The business league of Indianapolis will do no good in sitting off in some obscure corner resoluting; it should go about at night, visiting places where the colored people congregate and admonish them when unruly, and falling in this, they should seek aid from the city authorities. Colored people in business should be compelled to conduct their places properly or have them closed up. Metcalf had a gun; had he been unarmed he, at least, would have been living and this fearful witness would not again be to widen the breach of the races. There may be reason for carrying guns by men who are suspected of carrying great sums of money on their person, but this class is n't out at night, as the rule. The man who expects trouble is the other individual who "must" be armed. He who expects trouble is generally troublesome; and it is no secret that too many Negroes carry fire arms; they are not necessary. As we see it there will be continued trouble unless a reformation comes from within. We may talk of justice and savage instinct all we choose, but the colored race must get better in its deportment. The good are not strong enough to overcome the doings of the low and ignorant who, as before stated, are not always malicious or vicious, but clowns who do not care for the unwritten laws of communities, nor do they care to learn them. Many of the better informed are also ignorant of the minor morals which count for so much. Rev. J. W, Carr formerly pastor of the Second Baptist church of this city but now of Savannah, Geo., was in the city a few days visiting friends. He will be remembered for his great work in Indianapolis, where he succeeded in redeeming that valuable church property, made vast improvements and built up one of the greatest congregations in the country. He reports a church in a flourishing condition in his present home where he pastors one of the greatest churches in the connection Rev. Carr was entertained by members of his former church and friends and expressed himself as highly pleased with his visit. The death of Mr. George A. Dickson was one of the regrettable happenings of last week. He became well known through the management of the Grand Opera House and Park Theatre, properties in which he was largely interested. Mr. Dickson through his business ability accumulated quite a fortune in his theatrical enterprises. His death occurred at his beautiful country residence recently completed at a great expense and which he was just preparing to enjoy. He had many warm friends among the business men of the city, and was greatly regarded by the profession. In calling attention to some of the short comings of the colored people it does not mean that mob rule has any excuse for existence. We contend as ever that the courts are clothed with sufficient authority to cope with any evil. We hope to caution our people in plain, severe language against their little civil sins, that they give no seeming excuse for the mob. If they are jealously careful and the mob yet rules the blood will plainly be on the heads of those taking part in it, and finally it will be crushed by the weight of its own murderous sins. Rev. H. L. Herod of the Christian church of this city has just returned from Louisville, where he has been attending the State Convention of the Christian Churches of Kentucky. Rev. Herod delivered his lecture "The Gospel—The Solution of the Race Problem," which caused wide spread comment. At the request of many he will return to that State next Tuesday to make a tour for the purpose of being heard on his subject. Hon. Cassius M. Clay of Kentucky, who recently died, was one of the notable personages of the country. He dared to stand for the freedom of the Negroes when it was dangerous to take the stand. He was a man of education and had rendered distinguished service to his country. His late life had been somewhat eccentric, but until the end he was highly respected. John Edward Bruce of New York will soon put out a new magazine with the very suggestive title, "The Impending Conflict." Mr. Bruce is better known as "Bruce Grit," a versatile writer, whose contributions have been received by many well-known publications. He is a relative of the late Senator of that name. Sheriff Whitlock of Danville, Ill., needs special commendation for so courageously defending the jail of that city against the assault of the mob, also his wife who stood by him when his life was in danger. A few more determined sheriffs like him and the lynching business will see its finish. A death mask of the late Cassius M. Clay was taken by the noted sculptor, Isaacs, of Lexington, Ky., a young colored man, who has gained much prominence through his art. Mobs are not always due to an immediate offense as so many think; they are due to sentiment that has been growing. LEGAL ADVICE R. R. CLAIMS, COLLECTIONS & PATENTS.

It is very apparent that Tillman does not respect his oath of office now his high position as United States Senator. Let some Negro give the advice that he is giving and it goes without saying, there would be a Negro missing in "less than no time." The Evansville militia while in Indianapolis was vigorously cheered, which was considered an endorsement of their action in defending the city of Evansville, against lawless men. Mr. Holtzman, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, is now up for inspection. He will now know of his sins from a to izzard and few extra thrown in for good measure. The National Negro Business Men's League, soon to meet at Nashville, Tenn., is proving an incentive for colored men in business the country over. The Democrats have set out a most beautiful platform—too pretty; it was made to look at and admire; a politicalmosaic. Nothing but mobs; it is to be hoped that the backbone of the business is now broken. The spirit of anarchy should not find a foot-hold in this country. The law always and never the mob . News Note.

Fulbright, William Green, Thos. Bryant, Annie Grinder, Bessie Jones, Bertha Tate, Lulu Ewings, Daisy Payne, Lula Brown (Topsy). They are all artists in their lines, which is singing, dancing and music and the best thing about it is they are all workers and go with vim from start to finish. They all like their manager and try to work to his advantage. He buys them lemonade by the water pail to drink instead of water. There are six big watermelons now on ice waiting to be eaten. Everyone seems to be jolly and in fine condition. Mr. Wall lectures to them just before the show opens every day and after that there is nothing more said; every one knows his business and goes at it.

LADY AFRICA'S MINSTRELS. CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE. situation. His singing voice is not bad and he dresses with good judgment. As a single-handed comedy star, his value is worthy of the greatest consideration. By what then is he confronted? Is it the playwright problem or is it the want of a good manager? I should say, right here in his case, that the absence of a playwright finds him in the most discouraging place in the advancing history of our present Negro stage progress. The Wang-doodle quartette closed the show. The Wang-doodles are four star comedians whose singing and dancing, to say nothing of their comedy work, assures them of a good living anywhere in creation. Leslie Triplet, Will Cooke and Johnnie Green are the other three that keep Bobby Kemp, the star, from freezing. Bobby Kemp belongs to a peculiar talking class of comedians who can easily outrun their distance by talking too much and not saying anything. His ambition makes him attractive. Whenever he manages to say anything distractable he scores. He did pretty well for a star surrounded by three other stars equally as healthy, and to follow after one of such rare magnitude as Anderson. The orchestra was under the leadership of Prof. H. E.

He opens a song in a tenor voice and closes in baritone and vice versa. * ** Thomas Lewis will go with Roscoe & Holland's No. 1. * ** W. A.

Napoleon Johnson sends the following from Richards & Pringle's Georgia Minstrels: At this writing all the boys have arrived. The rehearsals are progressing nicely, and from all indications the company, which is much larger this season, will be a revelation in minstrelsy. Our managers, Messrs. Rusco and Holland, have not spared time nor money in getting together such rays of talent and under our general stage manager, S. H. Dudley, time alone will tell what he has in store for the public. Many new faces are seen here this season and those that made good last season were retained. Every one is working in harmony with one another. It speaks well, as that is the fundamental principle of a successful THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. undertaking. Mr. Dudley is well pleased with the members that compose this year's company. He finds them to be the best set of gentlemanly performers that has been his lot to manage, and he is striving very hard to make this his crowning effort. Following is a clipping from Benton Harbor Daily Post, date of July 16, 1903: "S. H. Dudley, the stage manager with Richard & Pringle's famous Georgia Minstrels, has made a host of friends while in this" city, the past two seasons. He is above the ordinary in intelligence and has the happy factility of knowing just how to handle his people. The old idea that a Negro can not handle men of his own color is exploded in this case. He is loved and respected by every one under him and his manager, Mr. W. A. Rusco, places the utmost confidence in him and his ability. Besides being a clever performer, he is a good producer. Many of the songs used in the entertainment were written by him, and he thinks that the performance at the Bell Opera House, Wednesday, July 22, will be his crowning effort." Chas. F. Scott, cornetist and comedian, closed with Coontown 400 in Osceola, Pa., and is with us for coming season. He sends regards to all friends. Hello, Daddy Love and Chicago friends, we will be with you soon, and in the language of the street urchin, "We are coming clean. That's all." Notes of the Rabbit Foot Comedy Co.: The Rabbit Foot Comedy Co. are all very much pleased with their new palaco car. It has six state rooms and the car can accommodate forty people.

Lowrey write per route or care The Freeman. King and Seymour's Southern Black Troupedors are still in the "Vapor City," there being so many thousands of visitors that visit this popular resort during the summer months and we play to the largest majority of them that we can not accept the many offers extended us. King and Young introduced three new acts on the 4th inst. to three thousand people which were decided hits. The press comments on it as being the best ever seen with any company who have played Hot Springs. They will be seen on the road this season with one of the best companies. Everything is doing well. Mme. Ollivette Williams has never failed to carry an audience with her sweet singing. Miss Rosa Payne laid off one day to go to Little Rock on business. She is at her post again. Last Sunday two white gentlemen wagered $10 on Mr. Albert Young. One of them bet that he was a real China man; the other who had met Mr. Young some time before off the stage, had the best of it. After the curtain fell Mr. Young proved to be "Uncle Eph's son." Billy King started the house to screaming and kept them going. He was called back so many times he had to beg to be excused for the evening. Mr. King is doing a monologue this season that will set any audience in a roar. Too much can not be said of his clever work. He is a boon comedian. The company sends regards to J. Ed. Green, John Rucker and "Hapa" Kemp. Fred Morton writes from P. G. Lowrey's Musical Enterprise with Luella Forepaneh Fish Wild. West Shows: We are still doing banner business. We are once more in Iowa and having nice weather. Mr. Hugo, our manager, says he has got the best bunch of colored people under canvas. Mrs. Hugo is confined to her bed and has not been able to give her performance. We all wish her a speedy recovery. Geo. A. Williams, of Springfield, C., is making a rapid progress as a cornet player under that young leader and arranger, H. Quallie Clark.

EMINENT MEN OF LETTERS Those Who Have Risen From the Depths—A Well Defined Path to Success—Boyhood Struggles. We have tried to make the following sketch so truthful to history the world over and so full of encouragement to the youth of all lands, that we present it with the hope of inspiring our youthful readers to do well their part wherever duty lies, and to assure them that great and noble men are frequently of humble origin though always of industrious and persevering habits. Sir Edwin Saunders, Chief Justice of England in the reign of Charles the Second, was once a poor beggar boy, strolling about the streets, without any knowledge of his parentage. William Gifford, the great editor of the Quarterly, was an apprentice to a showmaker, and spent his leisure hours in study; and because he had neither pen nor paper, slate nor pencil, he wrote out his problems on smooth leather with a blunted awl. David Rittenhouse, the American astronomer, when a plowboy, was observed to have covered his plow and the fences with figures and calculations. James Ferguson, the great Scotch astronomer, learned to read by himself, and mastered the elements of astronomy while a shepherd's boy in the fields by night. Sir Thomas Gresham, who, under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth, became the founder of the Royal Exchange in London, was the son of a poor woman, who, while he was an infant, abandoned him in the fields; and his life was preserved by the chirping of a grasshopper, which attracted a little boy to the place where he lay. Nicholas Saunderson, the celebrated mathematician, lost his sight when he was a year old by the smallpox. Assisted by his friends, he pursued his studies. He became lecturer on optics in Cambridge, England. He was the bosom friend of Newton. He was elected professor of mathematics and was one of the most acute and learned commentators of the principia. Our own Hamilton, who lost his life in an unfortunate duel, was the office boy and runner of his early patron. William Jones, the friend of Madison and Jefferson, once secretary of the navy, and first President of the United States Bank, served his apprenticeship to a ship builder. Perhaps it is not too much to say that if the hours wasted in idle company in vain conversation, or at the corner stone, were only spent in the pursuit of useful knowledge, the dullest apprentice in any of the shops and fields might become an intelligent member of society and a fit candidate for most civil offices. By such a courst the rough covering of many a youth might be laid aside, and their ideas, instead of being confined to local subjects and professional technicalities, might range throughout the wide fields of creation; and other stars from the young men of this country might be added to that bright constellation of worthies that has and is still adding such glory and honor to the nation's history. Many have read of the sexton's son, who became a fine astronomer by spending a short time every evening in gazing on the stars, after ringing the bell for 9 o'clock. Sir William Phipps, who at the age of forty-five had attained the order of knighthood, and the office of high sheriff of England and Governor of Massachusetts, learned to read and to write after his eighteenth year, and whilst learning the trade of a ship carpenter in Boston. And so we might go on quoting the boyhood struggles of many of the most eminent men of all lands. No doubt our young readers have often observed when degrees of heat and cold are referred to, the word Fahrenheit enclosed in parenthesis, as in this manner: "90 deg. (Fahrenheit)." This is done because there are two thermometers in general use. They are called after respective inventors, and are known as Resumer's thermometer, and Fahrenheit's thermometer. The former is most popular in Germany. They differ from each other in their system of notation, or Dr. Miles' Nervine Gave Me New Life. "This is to certify that I have used Dr. Miles' Remedies quite extensively, especially the Restorative Nervine, which has done wonders for me. Six years ago I had nervous prostration and again three years ago, at which time I began taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. I kept taking it for six months and have taken an occasional dose during the last two years. I am practically a new man and feel that I have been given a new lease of life. I used to have very bad attacks of stomach trouble but since using the Nervine I can eat most anything want with it. I have been given Dobana by a noted German doctor three years. He told me I was liable to a paralytic stroke any moment; that my whole left side was badly affected. That was just before I began taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. My work for two years and a half has been very trying on my nerves. I am a presiding elder, traveling my districts at the rate of ten thousand miles a year, preaching on an average of five times a week, besides many ranges and the "multitudinous cares of my work." I am also to Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine I have been in flesh despite this hard work until now I weigh a hundred and ninety-six pounds, nearly twenty pounds more than in all my life. I preach Nervine wherever I go to those afflicted with nerve, heart or stomach trouble."—Rev. M. D. Myers, Presiding Elder, Free Methodist Church, Correctionion, Ia.

Boiling heat is indicated by Fahrenheit at 210 degrees, and by Reaumer at 80 degrees. There is a similar variation throughout the scale, and hence it is important to know by which thermometer any given record was made. Capt. Joseph Brooks, who died a few years since at Kennebunk, Maine, is said to have been the originator of the system of storm signals which for many years have borne such a prominent part in the management of commercial interests on the Atlantic seaboard. Capt. Brooks learned by observation and investigation that the heavy northeast storms of our coast approached from the southeast and by having his agent in New York wire him daily the atmospheric conditions, he was able to protect the interests of his company and avoid wrecks and disasters to his boats. In 1853 he was called before a meeting of the presidents of the marine insurance companies of Boston and his system of signals was there explained and developed. Out of this grew the system which to-day is recognized by the government as of such great importance to maritime interests. The first "eminent man of letters" was Dryden, and the first "eminent publisher" was Jacob Tonson, his bookseller. Dryden told Tonson that "Paradise Lost" was one of the greatest poems England had ever produced. This led him to purchase half an interest in the copyright and he published in 1788 a folio edition by subscription, which proved very lucrative. He then purchased the entire right and made the work very popular. Tonson was the first bookseller to throw Shakespeare open to the general public. It is noteworthy that the first chartered and well-equipped school for the higher education of young women in the United States was established in Mississippi in 1818. The institution was named the Elizabeth Female Academy, in honor of Mrs. Elizabeth Greenfield, who donated its lands and buildings. It was at Washington, about ten miles from Natchez. It had a large boarding patronage, and "was celebrated for the thoroughness of its tuitional work." The Rev. John C. Burress were in succession presidents of the academy, but its greatest reputation was achieved under the government of Mrs. Caroline V. Thayer, a granddaughter of Gen. Warren, the hero of Bunker Hill. The ancient Warner house in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is noted as being the oldest dwelling in the city, but is chiefly interesting from the fact that Col. Warner, who occupied the house more than a century and a quarter ago, engaged Ben Franklin, in whose electrical experiments he was interested, to erect a lightning rod on it. This was the first lightning rod put up in New Hampshire, and we understand it is still in use after a service of more than 140 years. Some of the college boys who went to Kansas to help in the harvest fields are not so delighted as they were when they entered on the work. They will, however, have wider views on the life of a farmer. Thomas C. Whallon Republican candidate for Judge of Police Court. Election Tuesday, Oct. 13.

But the agricultural returns of the twelfth United States census show that in the year 1899 there were still 15,670 farms upon which dairy cheese was made. The quantity produced on these farms during that year was 16,372,336 pounds, an average of 1,045 pounds per farm. This product constituted almost 5% per cent of all the cheese made in the United States, It is the purpose of farmers’ bulletin No. 166, “Cheese Making on the Farm,’ to furnish for the farm household a brief description of the most approved aa 6 Wat __— aS ee methods used in the manufacture of several varieties of cheese. Details of management, which are briefly and plainly described, include aeration and cooling, coloring, the use of rennet, cur- dling, cutting, cooking, molding, press- ing, dressing, salting and curing. ‘The operation of pressing is explained as follows: The press may be a simple lever and weight described as follows: ‘The lever should be about twelve feet long. A broken wagon tongue answers the purpose very well. Set a strong box, on which the mold may be placed, about three feet from a wall, post or tree. On the latter nail a slat and un- der it put one end of the lever. Put a circular board about six inches in di- ameter upon the mold, and on this rest the stick or lever. A pail containing a few cobblestones will answer for the weight. Do not apply full pressure at first, but let the weight hang about halfway between the mold and the outer end of the stick. Let the cheese remain a few hours in the press, then take out and dress, ‘The ordinary process by which our American cheese is made in factories 4s not applicable to the farm dairy be- cause it takes too much time and Is 80 complicated that it requires years of practice to become sufficiently familiar with the varying conditions in which milk comes to the vat. The various changes that take place in milk, and which are troublesome in making cheese, nearly all develop in the night's milk kept over until the following morning. So if milk is made into cheese immediately after it is drawn no difficulty need be experienced. By employing a simple and short method of manufacture any one at all accus- tomed to handling milk can with the appliances found in any well regulated farm home make uniformly a good cheese. The cut shows roosts, dropping board platform and the nests below, the Jat- ter so constructed that the fowls lay in the dark, » cure for egg eating. The Alling Fe dl mee writer has built three of these and finds them the best combination of roosts, dropping board and nests that he has ever seen, says a Farm Journal correspondent, who also sketches a trap nest. The trap nests have circular openings in front covered by a very light, thin bit of wood, An eighth of an inch thick will be about right. It ts pivoted at the top. ‘The section re- moved from one side of this cover en- ables the hen to put her head and neck into the nest, thus pushing the light sliding cover aside. When she bas en- tered the nest the cover falls of its own weight, and a little flexible ash wood catch on the bottom catches over a peg, holding the layer until released. ‘This will show which hen lays the egg, and one can thus breed only from the best layers. aie pene re aaa ears lee ‘The early hatched ducks that are ready for the market in May bring the best price, but those hatched later, al- thongh they do not sell for as much per pound, are more cheaply growa, be- cause bugs. grasshoppers and green stuf become more plenty. 1 never have any trouble raising my ducklings. The Pekin ducks are the largest of the duck family and the most popular. ‘They will lay more eggs in a year than many hens, as they will lay nearly ev- ery day from February until Septem: ber or October. During this season a drake should be kept for every five ducks, and there should be an inelo- sure about their house that they may be kept in during the morning. A fence two feet high will be sufficient to confine them. Ducks are quite free from vermin and most of the ills that chickens are heir to, says a Wisconsin woman ip Orange Judd Farmer. DRYING SWEET CORN. A House For the Purpose—How to Handle the Corn, I have for several years been raising sweet corn under contract, and the ac companying illustration will conve3 some idea of my drying house, says ar Ohio Farmer correspondent. It is alsc my granary, the upper floor containing grain bins on one side. The lower #1001 and south side of the upper floor are arranged for sweet corn. The most es sential part of drying sweet corn is tc have a free circulation of air.

If the corn is green and milky when husked it should be put on the racks very thin, not more than two or three ears in depth, and turned frequently, but if it is more matured and the ker- nels are glazed it may be put on thick- er. I can dry 500 or G00 bushels in this building. ices ta sais steele Millets have an important place in the forage rotation because they grow rapidly, mature early and may be seeded at any time from May until Au gust. Three species of the Japanese millets—namely, broom corn, barnyaré and Italian, originally imported by the Massachusetts Agricultural college, have been tested and found very de- sirable at the New Jersey experiment station. Of these varieties the barn yard has proved the most profitable the yield ranging from eight to eleven tons per acre. ‘This crop will be ready for feeding from forty to fifty days after seeding. Pearl millet has also been tested ‘This variety makes enormous yields fifteen tons per-acre have been secured When in full head it is from eight to twelve feet in height. Yet it is a very succulent and palatable fodder. Pear! millet is much more watery in its character than the other varieties men: tioned and does not mature as rapidly. For these reasons it 1s not as desira- ble as the barnyard variety. All of the millets are surface feeders and should be well supplied with available fertilizing materials. For soiling, cutting may begin before they are in bloom, and they should, prefer ably, be fed before the seeds are hard. ened, Sisal ee Emerald Gem, all things considered seems to be the general purpose melox for New England. We have had fait success with the Emerald Gem wher other varieties largely failed. It be longs to the Jenny Lind type, is small to medium in size and globular in form, flattened at blossom and stem ends, skin smooth and slightly ribbed It shows a rich emerald green color, with narrow stripes of light green it the ribs. The flesh is thick and of 2 deep, rich salmon color, fine flavor and of superior quality. ‘The fruit should be picked as soon as it will separate readily from the vine, as it loses its good qualities if left to remain until overripe. The popular Rocky Ford or Netted Gem, so commonly found in our mar- kets, is oval in shape, being longer than broad, slightly ribbed and covered with a grayish coarse netting. The flesh is green in color, very sweet and juicy and quite solid. The frult is quite small and usually very produc- tive. This variety needs plemty of sun- shime fua’ a favorable season and therefore cannot be so generally de- pended upon as the Emerald Gem.—F. ‘William Rane, New Hampshire. Sinete Gotu Beet Melle. Some of the agricultural advantages to be gained by securing a single germ beet ball are as follows: First—As with reasonable care the removal of the superfluous beets could not damage any of the roots which are to remain in the ground a saving of $1 to $2 an acre in seed could be effected. Second.—Today the farmer's sugar beet acreage is limited to such an area as he can reasonably expect to secure the necessary labor to thin within a given perlod after the plants shall show the third leaf. Inasmuch as with a single germ beet ball the little thin- ning necessary could be done with a hoe and need not interfere with the re- maining roots and as this work could be extended over a longer period of time the farmer could greatly extend his beet plantings with the same amount of available labor. ‘Third.—As none of the roots of the remaining beets would be injured by careless thinning or not thinning at the proper time the tonnage per acre would be greatly increased.—Truman G. Palmer in Report on Progress of Beet Sugar Industry. MOONLIGHT IRRIGATION. Water Goes Farther at Night Than During a Hot, Dry Day. Moonlight nights at this time of the year are the best for irrigating. Water will go farther at night than during a hot, dry day. The effect on plants Is also better when irrigation is done at night. Some crops, such as beans, are frequently scalded by being watered in the heat of the day. Cantaloupes, espe- cially after they begin to vine consider- ably, are easily injured by irrigation on hot days. The work of applying wa- ter to the fields at night is very pleas- ant, and, as a rule, many of the neigh- bors who are Interested in the same lateral or ditch will not care to use the water at night, thus giving a larger head to those who will do the work at that time. On large farms where wa- ter is scarce most of the season two gangs are run regularly to advantage. One takes care of the water during the day and the other at night. Where Russian thistles are numerous, as they are in most sections of the west at present, it is almost necessary to have some one with the water at all times when it is being run, Laterals, head gates and division boxes become choked with the tumbling weeds and require frequent attention. If the irrigator knows the land well—and it is necessa- ry for him to know it to do good work— night irrigation can be practiced by the use of a lantern when there is no moon- Ught. Water is too valuable and scarce to allow it to run to waste or without attention during the best hours of the twenty-four for its use—Denver Field ane Varn, Not one-half of all the clover hay made in the country is ever properly saved so as to secure the best results It 4s either cut too early or too late, is either cured too much or too little, is elther moldy or fired. Clover dries up and gets powders and dusty if dried rapidly in the sun, Wilt it and dry the water out of i and then heap it, only opening it long enough to air when heating in the heap. In a day or two it will do to gc in. Caps are excellent to use during this process. “Make hay while the sun shines” sounds well, but it’s better for the hay- makers, the horses and the hay if the days are cool and cloudy, with a “dry- ing wind” blowing. A delay when the crop is cut may damage the quality of the hay. Better have it wet than overripe. Cut all the hay early if you want good hay, Cut as the grass is going out of blossom; then the nutriment is in the stalk and the dust is off the flowers. ‘Two medium sized loads will be han: dled quicker ‘than one load that will break the wagon or stick in the barn door. | Gkeieis ak dhe dee Oeatambenes The points of a typical Buff Orping- ton fowl, as stated by the poultry man- ager of the Canadian experimental farms, are as follows: Tail, inclined backward and upwai J.

Barley grains are sprouted in the process of malting and in due course are rubbed off and sold, elfher wet or dry, as a cattle food. They enter the general market solely in the Kiln dried form. They are small, comma shaped, light yellow brown particles of an agreeable nutty odor and crisp texture. When fed ry they are frequently refused by cows. If soaked some hours before feeding they are often better relished. Downy Mildew. Downy mildew attacks the leaves of cucumbers and cantaloupes. These show yellow spots with moldlike growth on the underside; the spots turn brown, and the leaf soon dies. Remedy.—Spray with berdeaux mix- ture about the middle of July and re- peat every ten days. eee as It 1s now generally conceded that the silo is the most economical way, every- thing considered, of utilizing the com crop for the dairy. Rutabagas are a good late second crop. The Vermont experiment station has found that clipping potato plants on account of too heavy foliage growth in July and August sacrificed ene-third of the crop. Bordeaux mixture has proved a reli- able remedy for potato blight and rot. Plant sweet corn for succession and a late crop. Sow Early Egyptian or Eclipse for young beets in the fall.
