The Leading Negro Journal--In a Class by Itself. THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XVI. NUMBER 36. WASHINGTON NEWS TALKS OF THE RAGE GATHERINGS OF THE YEAR COUNCIL AND BUSINESS LEAGUE Accomplished Positive and Beneficial Results-A Genuine Press Convention Urged for Next Year-No Special Bishop for Africa Needed. Washington, D. C., Special. The two big conventions of the year were successful to a most gratifying degree. The National Afro-American Council at Louisville brought together a body of men re presenting the race's best culture, intrinsic worth and highest aspirations. The strength of the organization was admirably shown in its ability to pursue the course its wisest leaders had marked out and to throw off with small effort the quibbling hangons on who follow all such gatherings for the purpose of gaining a little cheap notoriety by raising puerile objections to persons and measures. The successful outcome of a Negro suffrage convention in a southern city was also a gratifying feature of the occasion, and we are led to believe that a further incursion into the southland of conservative, orderly and purposely colored men would have a salutary effect upon the better classes of white people in that section. If the next convention does not go to St. Louis, (World's Fair year), it is very likely to assemble in Atlanta, Ga., and give Col. Clark Howell and his cohorts another opportunity to see the new Negro of the new century in his newest and most favorable light. The National Negro Business League broke all records at Nashville, as was anticipated months ago, and had a highly profitable and harmonious session. The Tennesses, from the governor and state legislature down to the humblest citizen, outdid themselves in making the visitors welcome. The labors of Dr. Washington toward leading the Negro into the arena of business brought forth fruit in abundance, and a healthy increase of commercial activity on the part of the race since the Richmond meeting was evidenced by the well digested reports from a large variety of pursuits and industries. An encouraging outlook was presented, and indications are already apparent that a still larger attendance may be expected next August at Indianapolis. The selection of the Hoosier metropolis amused much enthusiasm throughout the middle West, and the choice of officers could not have been improved upon. No dead timber is being carried, and every man elected to office can be depended upon to discharge his duties conscientiously and satisfactorily. We Hoosiers are particularly pleased with the election of Hon. George L. Knox as first vice president, and Dr. Sumner A. Furniss as a member of the executive committee. Mr. Knox is easily Indiana's force most citizen, as far as our people are concerned, and no man among us typifies more faithfully the magnificent possibilities that lie in the work of unlaging industry, lofty character, practical intelligence and business sagacity. Dr. Furniss' most ably stands for the best progress, usefulness and broad public spirit of our younger generation. Indianapolis, under their leadership, backed up by such forces as Messrs. Manning, Sanders, Purgeers, Morgan, Owens, Lander, Harris, Willis, Brown and others will be sure to give an excellent account of herself in hospitality and good cheer. Of the meeting of the National Atro- American Press Association, which immediately preceded the Council at Louisville, no very flattering report can be given. The best that can be said is that a very commendable statement of the Negro's political status was made public by the handful of very respectable gentlemen present. We cannot may that President Cyrus Fields Adams is to blame for the meager attendance and the lack of a practical, instructive program. He is a busy man and cannot, without strong assistance, work up a national gathering of the newspaper fraternity, who rarely leave their business安全 for calls of the utmost importance. Wherever the fault may lie we can gain nothing by raking up the ashes of the past. Rather let us resolve that next there shall be a press convention "as a press convention." Taken in connection with the meeting of the Council there is not the smallest reason why the body may not number fully one hundred bonaside newspaper proprietors, editors and cor respondents, representing the strength and purpose of the Negro journals of the land. What they will say and do will have weight, for their saying and doing are not finished with the adjournment of the body. The press is doing effective work in moulding sentiment, but it can be rendered many times more effective by concerted action along approved lines. We are now working as so many individuals frequently out of harmony, without any tangible cause. The ranks should be closed up and a definite policy conceived and vigorously carried out. At a convention called not for the grinding of personal axes or for the beating of any political organization, the difficulties that beset the Negro publisher should be frankly set forth, and means devised whereby better papers may be printed, circulation increased, bills more promptly collected and the people brought into closer sympathy with their journals, for the good of all concerned. The people are not reading our papers. They are not giving them adequate support. Our opinions do not reach the white citizens to any appreciable extent. We are not as careful as we should be that the editor's chair is filled by men of honesty and intelligence. Our editorial tone is not always at par. To remedy these evils is a duty that should appeal to the brethren of the press everywhere and lead to a rousing meeting in the near future. Will not the fraternity keep this matter before the country, and insist upon a square toed, broad guaged press conclave next summer? If we hold up the hands of President Adams and give him loyal support we are sure that his call will meet with a hearty response. With the coming of the A. M. E. General Conference some talk is heard of electing a special bishop to have charge of the development of that church in Africa. Why? The advocates of the measure do not point out any sufficient reason for singling out the African mission for special treatment, or show why any episcopate of average ability may not be successful in meeting the demands that the situation in South Africa or the West Coast might entail. Nor is it satisfactorily argued that the system of rotation would not be as helpful in the African field as it seems to be at home. The thought that the African Methodist Episcopal church is permanently an American institution need not be impressed here, nor is it relevant in this connection, to emphasize the crying need of strengthening the church in this country where its ministers are poorly paid and congregations are debt ridden almost unto death. Our contention is that no special bishop for Africa is required, and this statement is ventured because of numerous objections to such a plan that have come to us. If it be deemed expedient to develop that branch of Methodism in Africa, the Philippines, the West Indies, Hawaii or South America proper assignments, in rotation, from the regular bench can and ought to be made. Two or three new bishops are needed, and that many will doubtless be chosen at Chicago next May—but the designation of any man for a special field would be unwise. It would establish a precedent that would return in the future to plague the inventors. In the more forceful than elegant parlance of politics, Prof. W. H. Ferris erstwhile a star performer in the Trotter-Forbes, Ferris triple alliance, has "happened." That is to say, he has quit the losing game that the combine has been endearing to play for the past few years to encompass the downfall of Dr. Booker T. Washington. In leaving Trotter to his fate Ferris shows a wisdom entirely praiseworthy, though to long delayed. Trotter has never learned the value of being loyal to his friends, and such a man cannot maintain an organization for any considerable length of time. Trotter has never been loyal to Ferris, although the latter, remembering certain favors done in the past, was so faithful to what he conceived to be his duty that his subservience to the mageate of the Boston Guardian was so marked as to be actually painful. Trotter sent him to Washington to fight Booker Washington, and then left him without resources. He did the same thing at Lonvilles, and the money for the Professor's departure this week was derived from hard work on a newspaper of the Falla City. Ferris has become weary of making himself ridiculous at the behest of Trotter, and he is to be applauded for his courage and manly independence in breaking with such an ungrateful conspirator. The friends of Dr. Washington have regarded Ferris as more sinned against than sinning, and they are disposed to forget him if he will stick to those who are doing the real work for the permanent uplift of the race. President Roosevelt deserves the thanks FOR SIMPLE JUSTICE. FOR SIMPLE JUSTICE. '76 LIBERTY, OR DEATH RIGHTS AND PROTECTION U.S. CONSTITUTION '761 UNITE, OR DIE JUSTICE POVERTY NEGRO'S LABOR RIGHTS TRADE UNION JAY. 08 of all right thinking people for his promises in maintaining the supremacy of the government in the management of the Government Printing Office at Washington. The rule of the unions in the great printery has been tyrannical, despotic and narrow, and those who have refused to accede to their wishes have been led to slaughter without mercy. It is well that the Miller incident happened at this time, for there was a crying need for some opportunity for the less, son to be impressed that the United States is conducted in the interest of the whole people, regardless of whether they are Catholics or Protestants, Jews or Gentiles, union or non-union. Every man who applies for employment under the government is required to establish only his character, intelligence and knowledge of the work expected-perfect equality in all of the material essentials. Any other standard would be unjust-if not to say undignified. The rumour comes that owing to the disclosures of the methods of the printing office, growing out of the persecution of Miller, Public Printer Palmer may resign. His advanced age precludes his giving the details of the place proper attention. Secretary Cortelyou could put into operation some important reforms, if the views are given over to a younger and more vigorous hands. The colored employees of the Government Printing Office have no love for the unions, and are glad to see its power limited to the bounds of reason and common sense. Roosevelt's nerve never gives out. Ira T. Bryant is gaining strength daily in his race for secretary of the Sunday School Union of the A. M. E. church. He has been given a splendid endorsement by his fellow workmen in the Government Printing office at Washington. The position he seeks is directly in the line of his life work, and, if elected, as he ought to be, he will bring to it a degree of energy and adaptability that will astonish and delight all who want to see the publishing house at Nashville be made worthy of the great church whose name it bears. Mr. Bryant will do all that he promises if the work is placed in his skilled hands. "THE METTLE OF THE PASTURE." And now the literaries. William Monroe Trotter has about come to a full stop. They are having heaps of trouble in Old Kentucky. Don't Breathitt. Trades unionism is "getting it" these days very near the solar plexus. Louisville is still echoing with Booker T. W. Washington's speech delivered at Macau-lay's theatre. Tuskegee's bitterest opponents have never set foot within the gates of that wonderful institution. Go; see; get wise! We are expecting to hear at any moment that Lord G. W. Chivis is buying radium, or has acquired the ownership of Lou Dillon. Banker Isaac H. Smith has not yet taken the country sufficiently into his confidence to disclose the name of the Democrat he thinks can beat Roosevelt. Sorch a member of the "northern clergy" who condones lynching and you will find a man born and reared south of Mason and Dixon's line. Poet and dramatist, Joseph S. Cotter, of Louisville, has been highly praised by Israel Zangwell for the beauty, pathos and touching appeal for racial elevation by labor found in Mr. Cotter's latest production, "Caleb, the Degenerate." Jim Jeffries, with all of his befty bigness, is afraid to take chances on a fastic battle with a first class colored man. McVey, the black heavy weight, of California, is entitled to a fair "go" with Jeffries, or should be given the belt itself if Jeffries refuses to come front and act a man. The lack of available men for police service in the Nation's Capitol ought to make a fine opening for Big Jim Parker, the unrewarded hero of the McKinley assassination episode. New Albany and Jeffersonville are ex- periencing a house famine. New comers have small chance of securing suitable quarters. Investors in moderate priced houses would be sure of a rich harvest from rents in these cities. Senator Hannah's health is not good, but his right arm is strong enough at all times to hurl confusion into the ranks of that gang of "conscienceless maraiders" who go through the South seajoling the ignorant Negroes out of their money by representing that the bill to pension exslaves can be enacted into law through liberal contribution. That party of whites who would not eat at the Hamlet, N. C., restaurant because the Business League delegates had preempted the situation were at least lucky enough to save their bacon. The follow down in Arkansas who knocked Gov. Jeff Davis off of a four foot high platform the other day should make it a point to be around Washington City when the literaries open and "Dr." George H. Richardson hezls to spout. Negro journalism is looking up. A new one has been launched at Evansville, Ind, and now Chicago is about to float a daily. The newspaper is an educative force, and we need a strong, characterful representative everywhere the Negro is found in any considerable number. BERTRAM BARTON. A Budget of Interesting Items.

ADDRESS THE FREEMAN, INDIANAPOLIS, IND. --- THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Worth Remembering. It is well worth remembering that one of the greatest problems for waiters to solve is a well defined idea of their duty to their employer and to the guest. Misunderstandings, disruptions and troubles can always be avoided if the waiters will carefully study the requirements of their positions and the conditions under which they are employed. Nine tenths of the waiters' troubles are the direct result of their failure to think and act quickly. Waiters should always bear in mind that between themselves and the guest great delicacy of words is required. We all know what resistance and overbearing manner produces, while a gentle approach and mildness of speech and manners have the best effect and pleasing results. Waiters cannot be too careful about physical cleanliness, particularly during warm weather. it hardly seems necessary to remind one that a clean shave, a clean tie, a clean white shirt, a clean collar and clean white teeth are peculiarly attractive in their position, and if they could realize how invariably the guest glances at their hands while they are serving a meal upon the table there would not be so many badly cared for hands in evidence as there are, but the treatment of hands and nails and picking of teeth must not be brought into the dining room by any means. DIFFERENCE IN WAITERS DIFFERENCE IN WAITERS Twenty waiters are waiting at the broiler for their orders at once, the more energetic thrust themselves forward and secure their orders far in advance of their turn, while the quater waiter loses his turn over and over again, and his family of people in the dining room have the mortification of seeing people at the next table, who came in later, receive their breakfast promptly, eat it and depart before their waiter makes his second appearance. A good waiter goes to the broiler and gives his order, waits until the same is placed on the fire, then he goes on to the fry cook and gives the other orders and then goes for dishes, returning he demands the order, gets it and goes into the dining room. A good and conscientious waiter will not try to bring in the entire kitchen for the purpose of extracting the paltry sum of twenty-five cents from a guest. A first class waiter can and will accomplish this without resorting to such methods of extravagance, which are detrimental to both his and his employer's interest. He is polite, attentive, obliging, courteous, accommodating and patient; fast, prompt and clean when serving a party. These are the qualities that enhance his chances for obtaining a fee, and when obtained under these circumstances he has the satisfaction of knowing that it was obtained solely upon his merit as a first class waiter. A. B. CARTER. Ft. Wm. Henry Hotel's Letter. It affords me no small amount of pleasure to present this letter to the press, where it will go flying over the country into the hands of thousands of readers. To see the unity and brotherly loves this large crew of men have worked with all of the summer. it seems to be such a pleasure for a waiter to go to the rescue of a near by brother waiter, who seems to be, as the boys call it "up the tree." G. A. Truman, our head waiter, has managed his men well. He has had no trouble with them whatever. Our second annual concert and cake walk was given on the 20th of August at the Fort William Henry Casino. W. W. Brown, manager, spared no pains to make the occasion a success, which it was. He gave us the use of the Casino and the orchestra free. The guests are complementing Mr. Truman daily for having such a well drilled crew of waiters. We have devotional services in the dining hall every Sunday morning. Skinner's Tavern Notes. We have had it quite warm two or three days here in our Mountain city, which is usually very cool. We are getting up quite a lively interest in The Freeman. The Hotel Watson's dining is managed by Henry Bally, with some excellent gentlemen assisting him. Wm. Irving is the head waiter at the Marietta hotel, with a corps of Stanton waiters. Charles Harris, of Stubens ville, O., is the head day porter at the Tavern. The waiter's combined minstrel performance was given at the opera house last Thursday, and was well patronized by the public. The boys deserve much credit for their street parade. Many good songs were rendered. Reed and Williams deserve much credit for their direction. The music was conducted by Prof. Simmons, of Pennsylvania. Pat Riley, the head porter at the Manley hotel, is still smiling with his genial broad face, looking for a base ball game. Chote taken for a waiter. The inconvenience of the similarity between a gentleman's evening dress and the attire of a waiter has received yet another instance. Mr. Chote, the American ambassador, was the victim on this occasion. At the State banquet to the King at the Guild Hall the American ambassador was one of the few men in evening dress, nearly every one being in court or municipal uniform. He was interested in the pulpit arrangements in which the carving was done, and ventured to ask one of the functionaries a question concerning them. "Never mind about old customs," was the reply. "Look lively and clear away the soup plates!" THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS THEN WHAT? It was at Manning's drug store; the topic of the discussion was "What would such and such an individual do with $80 000 if he had it?" The committee, on rising, reported that: Charles H. Baughman would go abroad instanter. A. E. Manning would be the prince of good fellows. Dr. Sumner A. Furniss would build a sanitarium on Washington street. Captain Jake Porter would organize and uniform a crack military company. John Puryear would be nominated and elected councilman at the first opportunity. Julius Cox would attend all society functions and preach on Sunday in the Episcopal church. J. H. Fielding would endow a church, but it must be Episcopalian; he would also be the Ward McAllister of all society functions; he would be the social St. Peter. Gus Manning would take a trip to Jerusalem, the yearning of his boyhood. J. D. Howard would not stay here, nor anywhere. He would drive two rigs at once and advertise The Freeman on the moon, if possible. John Carter would nurse and promote business projects that would come to a head; he would put a little of "his" in them. George Cabel would run a newspaper and talk Henry George, single tax and other political heterodoxy, not forgetting Louis F. Post, his patron saint. Wm. Walden would build a summer resort and would have plenty of fans. Elwood Knox would simply wiggle his legs and act as if it was but 30 cents. William M. Lewis would endow a musical hall; he would have all the fine singers to entertain him alone. George L. Knox would plant first class barber shops all over town, also have the greatest Negro publishing house in the world. Joseph Broyles would be a fish monger between times. Gurley Brewer would get fatter in his palatial den grinding out editorials when he had a spare moment. Allen C. Simms would "jess laff" and keep the better part of it; he would POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS. VOTE FOR Thomas C. Whallon Republican candidate for Judge of Police Court. Election Tuesday, Oct. 13.

B. Carter's letter of August 30th in your ably edited paper I sincerely hope that Mr. Carter will not let these few remarks lead to a debate on the subject of the colored waiters and, as he says, he hoped some of the correspondents of these columns would take up the subject where he left off and carry it on to a more brilliant and successful discussion. I wish to say that I think the columns of The Freeman should not be used for heated discussions, such as were carried on the latter part of last winter, but should be used as a national interchange of modern ideas, pertaining to modern dining room service. Speaking of unity and organizations, I must confess that the side waiter has been more progressive along the line of organization than the head waiter, but his chief aim has been to secure better wages, when the paramount issue should have been qualification. It has been demonstrated for many years that unions are not for colored waiters, as our people will not support any organization or stand for a leader. There are a few colored waiters who have faith in unions; the majority of those who do affiliate themselves with unions do so with the idea that all that is necessary for them to do is to strike for higher wages, and should they fall, will support them in idleness, while the progressive and well thinking waiter joins the union to be on the safe side should the chariot of prosperity pass his way.

All Headwaiters, Stewards and Butlers are respectfully asked to support this Ad so far as may lay in their power. May I add that unions will never be of any benefit to a colored waiter. We have no lease on no position, let it be as a waiter or any other servant, and, I should judge, every free thinking man wants no lease on a position, neither does he want any employer to have a lease on his labor. Yes, it is true you are notified to vacate in a time when you are wholly unprepared to take care of yourself and family, on the other hand you vacate without giving a moments notice of your desire to leave. Mr. Carter says: "Stop when you see an exavation for building purposes, watch the men working with almost mute silence, see them consult the plans;" then again he says: "What shall we do to regain our lost laurels?" If I had a kingdom I would use the words of King Richard III: "A school! a school! My kington for a school." The chef, the baker, the manager, the stewart, the house-keeper, the laundress, the engineer, the blacksmith, the lawyer, the tinner, the tailor and last, but not least, the white waiter all have books, periodicals and teachings pertaining to their different vocations which they peruse to consult the plans Mr. Carter speaks of. To be brief I may be handing some of you side waiters a pretty big pill, but you will have to put a little sugar on it and proceed to swallow it. There are no first class, artistic colored waiters, and if some of the head waiters years ago had told you these same facts you would have been far better off. Let any head waiter who employs a crew of twelve, sixty or one hundred and fifty men, line them up then ask the question: "How many first class waiters are in this line," out of twelve you will find two, out of sixty you will find eight, out of one hundred and fifty you may find twenty. Every waiter doubts himself, what they claim to be doing is "getting by." But when it comes to having a knowledge of first class, artistic service and the ability to execute it without instructions from your superior officers, and being followed from dining room to kitchen and back again, we have no such waiters. It strikes that it is about time that some of our head waiters would lay down this old fogy idea of not recognizing his fellow men on the street. We are all working for a living, the side waiter jumps at your command in the dining room, but when you meet him on the street you seem to forget that the side waiter is your main support. Let us take the side waiter into our confidence, if you know anything about service at all, let us sit down and talk on the line of service, let us organize clubs, equip those clubs with dishes and silverware, then let us interest our wives in the business we support them on, teach her that she can entertain her friends without the roast turkey, roast beef or the New England boiled dinner, but give her the chafing dish, teach her lobster Newberg, the chicken croquette. the Welsh rarebit, the Yorkshire buck, by so doing you will find food for your brain along the line of service.

If our wives and sweet-hearts are interested in the business which supports them they are always a helping hand in the time of need. Now let me say in conclusion, I do not advance these ideas that they are to meet the approval of all who read them, but we all have ideas of our own. Do less lecturing on uniforms, stop taking away the poor waiters money for breakages and lates, but try to bring him up to a standard of high calling by lecturing more on service, its good and bad points, and, to relieve Mr. Carter's mind, I would say worry not over the future, the present is all thon hast JOHN B. GOINS Head waiter Columbia Club, Indianapolis Ind. ALBERT L. WATIERS; Let Justice and Soberness be Your Motto. There is no motto, in my estimation, more suitable, if pursued properly, to make any one a successful headwatter than the one just mentioned—"Justice and Soberness." The prominence the headwaiter has in the dining room should direct our attention to the character of the head waiter. His prominence depends principally on the fact whether or not he drinks liquor. That position demands coolness of mind and decency of conduct, which will elevate any man. It is sufficiently well known that the head man in any sphere of work influences his men either for the good or bad, so it is along the hotel line. The headwaiters have a chance to cause the majority of the young men of this country to dwell under corrupt influence. His responsibility should be of vital importance to every proprietor. A large or small number of guests are held by his courtesy. He must treat every guest so that no one can have a chance to send in a petition for proper service from the headwaiter. To show justice to an employer is nothing more than a christian man's duty. So it is with a headwaiter—he has a chance to show his christian disposition by showing justice to his employer as well as employees. The day is coming when the large dining rooms of this country will employ none but the one that wholly abstains from liquors, for we realize that we, the headwaiters, have a chance to form characters either good or bad. I beg each headwaiter to keep this motto before him—"JUSTICE AND SOBERNESS." Kohlsaat & Go. vs. Colored Waiters—Completely Routed. The series of strikes against this company by colored men has ended and girl waiters are now filling all the colored men's places. The strike began by trying to oppose girl waiters in one place early in May. From this place colored men were discharged because they were "incompetent," so the company said. The union wanted the discharged men retuteted; Kohlsaat & Co. wanted girls. This resulted in a 10-week tie-up of Kohlsaat Company's lunch rooms and wholesale bakery, the waiters being supported by the Baker's Union working for the same company. After six weeks Mr. Kohlsaat personally appeared at the union headquarters and offered a compromise, "to open up another place, put back all the discharged employees to work in this new INDIVIDUAL HOTEL DIRECTOR [One address line $3.00 per year; including subscription to The Freeman, in advance,] HEADWATERS. F. P. Thompson, Hotel Champlain, Clinton county, N. Y. T. H. Frame, Knutsford, Salt Lake City Utah. place, sign the union scale and grant the hours," if they would allow him to open up with girls in his Dearborn street place. "Nothing but an unconditional surrender" was, in substance, the union reply. The big strike was in effect from June 13th to 19th, at which time 75 per cent of the striking employees were to return to former positions pending settlement by consultation. The 480 striking men returned to Kohlsaat & Co.'s lunch rooms—the girls also returned. The big strike was declared settled, but Kohlsaat & Co. had not signed any scale or agreement. About the middle of July all the colored waiters walked out at noon one day, and as no one of the union officials would acknowledge the order to strike they were given twenty-four hours to return to their positions or be expelled from the federation. The Negro never got any satisfaction out of the strike or any profit either. On the 25th of August they again struck on Kohlsaat & Co., together with two or three more white local organizations, probably a thousand men in all. Non-union white men quickly filled the striking white waiters places, and white girls filled all the Negro waiters places in the down town lunch rooms and restaurants where the strike was ordered. The colored waiters in the family hotels out in the Hyde Park district are not affected by this strike. They are enjoying a peaceful rest from the strike of June with ten per cent increase in their salary. They are now receiving $25 per month the year round, where they only got $25 for three months previously. Copies of The Freeman are on sale at Fred D.

There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a physician, and that it is only from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not everyone who placards himself or herself as a Medium that can stand a test of what is true. It is not everyone who mind may ask the reason why. It is simply that these advisers do not take the trouble to study human nature. They do not spend the time necessary to acquire the art of phrenology and kindred business that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of obstacles. They are valuable fact that persons will come to service—in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Doctor. To get the secret out of a person by "pumping," in no few cases, is the art used by any unpicked Mediums, but to take hold of the secret is not easy. Thereby, is a matter of impossibility to most of them And yet this can be done, and by consulting MRS. MARTH this seeming mystery. The patient has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. It so proves conclusively that although there are infringers in our midst with "oily tongues" that have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished Medium, and by a continuous and uniting effort, the key to the well of apparently unaffordable mysteries have been curried by the vast majority of humanity.

Quite a large sized audience heard Dr. Hagood last Thursday evening at Simpson Chapel church, where he formerly held forth as pastor. He is favorably known in this city as a man of sterling qualities and as a successful pulpit orator. The doctor has always leaned toward the lecture side, as noted by the wit with which he generally interspersed his sermons. Those who came to hear him were not disappointed in him as a man of the platform. It is but simple justice to him to say that he stands among those of the first ranks in the lecture field. Hit wit is inexhaustible, always appropriate and illustrative of the point in hand. In fact it takes a lively, intellectual audience to follow the versatile doctor, who is profound, sarcastic, humorous, pathetic in turn, those essentials so necessary to the successful lecturer. As a platform entertainer it is not too much to say he has but very few equals. Dr. Hagood chose for his subject: "The Future of a Race Without a Past." He touched upon all the subjects now before the public pertaining to the race question, giving them a new treatment, such as he alone can do. He is opposed to stirring up strife on the part of any man; he that does it is a fool and should receive a heavy sentence from a police judge. The Negro is not responsible for the past and not wholly responsible for his present condition, whatever it may be; that the Negro is no worse is a matter for congratulation in view of the circumstance. The doctor feels that the race needs higher ideals in the pulplt, in the school room, inviglems against excursions, lotteries, which mean soup during the winter. The race should be prudent in all respects, voting in the interest of its protection, the protection of property, whether the individual is from Dan or Beersheba. Emigration is southward, further south, says the doctor; mortality is on the decrease; the Negro and foreigner only averages over two children to the family; it is but a question of time when the whole country will be Negroes and foreigners. Negroes are not hide bound in their mental capacities; they are coming from Harvard, Yale, Princeton and other great institutions of learning with flying colors. All of the friends of the race, says Dr. Hagood, are not in the North; many are in the South, as attested by the millions spent in their behalf by the way of schools. He thinks that race prejudice is on the wane. The blackman is wanted in the South. He stands for the defense of Negro womanhood, insisting that the mob is never justifiable, but the protection of defenseless women is, at almost any price. No respectable white man was ever a member of a mob. He paid a glowing tribute to the race for obstacles overcome. An opportunity to work is needed that idleness may not breed crime; work to prove an incentive to higher and greater things, all of which will militate in the interest of that racial peace which is necessary in furthering the better ends of a common country. BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS. Bishop A. Walters was in the city for a few days this week. He expressed himself as thoroughly disgusted at the Boston business that is now claiming a THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER considerable share of public attention; he has also had experience with the cult of the Hub. Prior to Washington's visit to Boston he had an engagement to speak in Faneuil Hall, but he was informed by a committee that unless he pledged himself to make no reference to Washington he would not be heard. The bishop would not agree to such a degrading condition wherein was an implied insult to his friend, Mr. Washington. The committee, after reflecting, later on repented and insisted that he fill his engagement unconditionally, but the bishop's manhood wouldn't stand for it; he left for New York. The unwritten chapter is interesting in that it strengthens the contention that the Boston gang is working with a method, having the destruction of Washington in mind, and that the late disturbance was not due to chance. Bishop Walters is somewhat at sea as to what is best to do under the very perturbed racial relations as existing now throughout the country. He thinks that a purely political Mosss who is unfettered by ties could do much in solving the sphinx-like racial riddle. He would have a strong man, an intellectual giant, independent and fearless, yet careful and conservative. Will he find the man? The bishop pays a high tribute to Washington, insisting that he has been the mediator between the whites and blacks, but like all who stand in the breach or in the van will suffer that others may enjoy the fruits of his labor. He considers Mr. Washington the foremost schoolman of his day, and especially so as it pertains to industrialism. His field does not conflict with that of those who support the classical theory solely; they are interdependent and should operate so without hitch or friction. SENATOR FAIRBANK'S SPEECH. A week or so ago Senator Charles W. Fairbanks, the senior senator of Indiana, in a speech at the State Fair of Minnesota said among other things: "Sporadic cases of lynching and burning in many quarters have stirred deeply the just indignation of the country. Be it said to the credit of the great Northwest that she has been singularly free from the revolting offenses which have occured elsewhere. Lynch law is an indelible crime and a disgrace. It not only murders the hapless victim, but assassinates the good name of the community in which it usurps authority. Force beyond the pale of the law is the forum of savagery. The mob which disregards all lawful restraint is the rule of anarchy. It rests upon the animal instinct and brute force. It tramples under foot the noblest and most cherished traditions which have come down to us from the immortal fathers who founded our institutions. It is at war with our best aspirations. It is at war with the home, the church and the state. It breaks upon our peace with cyclonic fury, and when it has spent its frenzy it leaves wreck, ruin and dishonor in its wake. "The mob which is the expression of race hatred is the most perilous. We are a people composed of many races. In fact, all tongues are found among our population. Providence has placed us here and together we must work out our careers. We should cultivate among each other a spirit of generous tolerance and secure to all races, the weakest and strongest alike, the fullest possible enjoyment of those fundamental principles for which free government was ordained and which found utterance through the inspired pen of Thomas Jefferson. 'Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' To secure these our richest blood has made immortal and glorious the battlefields of the Republic. Our heroes died for all races. They died that all might equally share the blessings of the best government instituted among the children of men. Our flag is not a race flag. It is the everliving symbol of equality before the law of all races who acknowledge its authority." Senator Fairbanks leaves no room for doubt as to where he stands on the infamous mob rule. It is a pleasure to record those standing in commanding places as the friends of the race, of the lowly, consequently for all. S. P. Mitchell of the ex-slave pension movement has got his "foot in it" at Thomasville, Ga. He has been bound over to the Superior Court. Mitchell's counsel, during the hearing, made the startling assertion that the Republican party was behind the prosecution, and that some of the leaders had ordered Mitchell headed off. Whoever they may be they are wise in halting the movement that Marcus Aurelius boomed in an unguarded moment. At the feasting contest on Labor day white boys won first and second prize over colored boys It is said the colored boys were out of condition. But had it been a watermelon contest, O what a different story would have been printed To books! To books! is the cry, and which will be answered with the cheering sound, We come! We come where'er floats the bars and stars. One, in these times, must work industriously to escape the clutches of the school master, and he that succeeds will certainly be rewarded for his "pains" as he should be. The nation in its foresight at the very outset made wise provision by substantially providing for the maintenance of public schools by setting aside large tracts of the public domain, and by other modes of encouragement of a subsidizing tendency, not the least of which was the spiritual support engendered through the physical agencies. Education in America, with its higher ideals and sterner life, is as the sap to the tree; it must ramify every branch and leaf or else there is but "withering" growth and ultimate decay and death. Every branch of business, industrial or purely commercial, is enlivened and buoyed up when conducted by intellectual forces. "Brains mixed" with the occupation, that occupation, howsoever lowly, will shine by contrast with that not so supported. High education for high pursuits, some education for all pursuits are the slogan for progressive America. Negroes like white men must catch on to the healing stream and thus widen their narrower, more restricted sphere until it spreads out like the "all pervading" banyan tree, encompassing all about. Industrial education with the classicists; neither have mortgages on the situation, nor pre empts it; but hand in hand the twinned gods of national salvation, the "ingredients" to peace, prosperity and plenty. The general school house has proven the Negroes fort and strong tower, disestablishing the formidable menace that spoke of mental incapacity and cerebral impotency. These charges to the winds; that they fly back to crowd down the vile threats from which they sprang, to confute and to confound. Long live the advocates of all education, industrial or what not! Long live Washington or DuBois or Councill or Allen or any of their likes who are garnering the whited fields when the laborers are as yet few! Truce to the contentions, but a bristling front to vice and ignorance; they are the common enemy. Mr. Editor. In accordance with the advice of Mr. J. P. Jackson, editor of the "Lagos Weekly Record," I beg to inform you of my arrival at New York Sept. 5 on the "Etrueria." Cunard Line, from Lagos, West Africa. We take great pleasure in further announcing the arrival of the very distinguished African personage Rev. Mojolai Agbebi, M. A., Ph.D., Fellow Royal Colonial Institute, London; corresponding secretary Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland; corresponding secretary Evangelical Alliance, London; foundation member Lagos Institute; president Christian Endeavour Society, Lagos; president Native Baptist Union of West Africa, Lagos, West Africa. He will attend the meeting of the National Baptist Convention which meets in the near future in Philadelphia, Pa. White men acted as pall-bearers at William Huckaby's (colored) funeral who recently died near Dawson, Ga., some of whom were prominent citizens and county officials. "The Pointer" of Valadosta, Ga., says in comment: The deceased was one of those Negroes who solved the race problem for himself. Hard working and honest, he accumulated property and enjoyed a credit as good as that of any man in the county. He was respectful, knew his place and never dabbled in politics. He won the respect and confidence of the best people in Dawson and Terrel county. His life was a worthy example to the members of his race. The twenty-third annual convention of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers was held in Reformer's Hall, Washington, D. C., last week, wherein about 300 delegates participated, representing something like thirty States. Rev. W. L. Taylor, the president of the organization, presided over the deliberations. The body transacted important business for the general order, which is now spread as great armies all over the whole country. Sir Thomas Lipton, you're a dead game sport. We'll make the cup yours next time for your persistence. Come again, dear Thomas, you're always welcome. Armies of men in line on Labor day; a few colored men in the armies. The few were treated well; not the least bit of demonstration against them. This is not an advertisement; we have our pro rata of colored people. DIVORCE LEGALS.

Hendrix's Chicago notes — Well boys any time you think that John Bailey and Prof. Henderson Smith do not mean business you are asleep. Their eight sheets and twenty-fours are beginning to arrive already, and their contracts are being printed. We hope and prophesy these two men will have the greatest combination ever before the public. They sends regards to all their friends. After knocking the bottom out of things and causing more pains than a little in the sides of patrons of the Chicago Opera house from laughter, Ernest Hogan and Mattie Wilkes left last Sunday night for St. Louis, where they opened up at the Columbia. Will Green is still filling engagements, and doing well. Sends regards to all. Dad Carroll has something good up his sleeve and will let it out some day soon. Send regards to Williams and Stevens. Lew Jones and Rance Smith are head liners on the bills on the coast, and are the favorites. Mr. Jones feels proud to know that, through Daddy Love, he was so fortunate in securing Mr. Smith as a partner. They sent a series of pictures to Daddy. Mallory Brothers and Brooks opened at the Chicago Opera house this week, and are making good. Slayton's Jubilee Singers arrived in town Sunday at 1:30 p.m., and report a very successful and extensive Hautauqua trip. The company is better than ever. Messrs N. Y. Washington and Prof. J. A. Hagerman have created a turn entitled "Father and son," which, without a doubt, is paralingus the natives wherever they appear during the tour of the state. N. Y. Washington had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Kellog, the white champion whistler and bird warbler. They appeared upon the same program and he easily vanquished his white rival. Miss Pearl Pitts, one of Slayton's sopranos, is quite ill at her home. Joe A. Hagerman sends regards to all his friends. Caldwell & Thomas opened up at the Olympic and are making good. Regards to all. Daddy Love sends regards to the McCarvers, Jones and Smith, Billy McClain, Dr. Charles Norton and wife, Al Holman and wife. Pro. Henderson Smith and wife, who have been on the sick list, are able to be out abain. Seymour's Afro-American Theatrical Company will begin rehearsals at Hot Springs, Ark, about December 1st. The company will make the winter season at this famous winter resort as a preparatory for their appearance at the great World's Fair. The performances at the springs will include comedy, drama and vaudeville. Some of the best dramatic, specialty and vocal artists in America have signed with this great enterprise. Henrilette Vinton Davis, the "Peerless! Impersonator," and W. A. Seymour, the "Black Booth," will head the company as joint stars. Mr. Albert Young, the great Chinese impersonator and character delineator, will head the list of specialty artists. Others in not notable among the cast are W. H. Bowman, a remarkable sweet singer, Miss Eiffie Wilkinson, an actress of wonderful ability, Miss Carrie Nickens, a comediene and coon song shouter. Mr. E. Jackson, baritone and dramatic reader, Mr. A Julius Williams, actor of wonderful ability, Mr. E. R. Robinson, tenor soloist, Mr. John Williams, FARM GARDEN BUNCHING ASPARAGUS. The Green and the White Kinds. How to Cut-Rubber Bands. Some markets require the green asparagus, in in others the white is in good demand. It is usually a good plan to have both kinds, advises an Indiana grower in Rural New Yorker. By throwing a ridge of earth over each row the asparagus will become well bleached before it reaches the top of the ground. The other rows will furnish the green asparagus. In cutting I use an inch chisel, and the shoots are cut off just under the ground to secure the green asparagus. In the part of the field that is ridged up the shoots are cut off, just as they appear above the soil, as deep in the ground as necessary to secure the proper length. As the stalks are cut they are placed in a basket with the tops all one way. When the basket is full, it is carried to a hydrant and the asparagus placed in a long row on a table and well THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. phenomenal baritone, Mr. and Mrs Kelley, sketch artists. The company will be under the direction of Mr. Seymour and Miss Davis. Every play will be carefully rehearse and staged to perfection, with full costumes, scenic and electric effect. The following is a list of dramas that will be presented during the winter: "Damon and Pj thisas," "In Old Kentucky," "Uncle Tom's Cabin," "Othello," "East Lynn." Many thousand people visit this popular resort during the winter, and that this company will do a paying business is quite assured. Much interest is being manifested in the company, and with the proper efforts put forth this winter they will go to the World's Fair the strongest colored company of its kind ever organized in America. They are contemplating a European tour after a brief run at the fair. Notes from Louisville, Ky. — Ninaweb Park Theatre, Summers Bros , proprietors, under the management of Tom Logan, enjoys the praise of being the best show in Louisville, and credit must be given the orchestra composed of Prof Ben Ball, T. B. Brown, John 'Emory, Ned Taylor and Ernest Kincaide. Our first parts are a revelation, while the middle and last acts are indulcously funny. Kid Wilson is hitting them hard with "Gable." "Bill was There" and "You don't need nothing for your nerves." Will Able earns merited applause for his excellent rendition of "Davy Jones' Locker," A Lock of Mother's Hair," "Tilld," and "Satisfied With Life." Eddie Gray gains encores with Gypsy Queen—My Old Home—and Zenobia. Dora Wilson makes good with What the Band Played—and Please Mama buy Me a baby. Tom Logan bobs up serenely with Can't Live on Love—Blow-blue-blew—and Who said blast? Clay and Hamilton present some meritorious sketches. Brown and Ardis have danced themselves into favor. The Wilson's prove to be a pair of clever entertainers and Will Able and Tom Logan's sketch convinces the public of their ability to deliver the right goods at the right time. Steve Breckenridge, Vida and Webb (and Keyton too.) are troubling with Dr. Wittman's show. "Sunny Jim" Anderson and his fintes have gone to Dr. Bennett's Co. Ernest Kinsade's trombone solos are well received, while Prof. Brown and his cornet selections are ever a source of satisfaction to lovers of good music. Uncle Ned Taylor and his cello are a valuable acquisition. We all send regards to Kuscoo & Holland's minstrels, A Rabbit's Foot, Black Patti Troubadours, Billy Kersands' Peerless Minstrels and Hottest Coon in Dixie Co. NATAL MOT. Notes from Al. W. Martin's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company, Western.—All are well and the ghost preambulates every Sunday morning. Mr. Elmore Taylor, Nellie Price and little Willie Spellman were on the sick list, but they are well again. The entire company of colored performers was entertained Sunday, August 30th, at Jackson, Mich. by the Maple Leaf Club and everybody enjoyed themselves. We are on our third week of success. We are on our Western tour. Our show is under the management of F. C. Cooper, and is liked by every one in the company. Joseph Clark, Jr., is our colored stage manager. Mr. Cooper made him manager of the colored performers. Mr. Clark is young and active, and is always studying and planning new features for our plantation. Mr. Cooper says the plantation is the strongest he ever had. Everybody works hard to make it go. Joseph Rassell, in the character of Aunt Malindy, fails to make them laugh washed. By keeping the stalks straight this work is greatly lessened, as the dirt can be washed from the stalks easier, quicker and with less water. Forming the Bunches. Any one who has ever bunched asparagus has observed that but few stalks are perfectly straight. In bunching, the stalks should be turned so each head turns toward the center of the bunch. This will take time, but it will pay, as a much neater bunch will be secured, and it will sell more readily. After the center is formed each succeeding row is slightly lowered so that the bunch when finished will be cone shaped and about what an ordinary hand can reach around. A rubber band is now slipped over the bunch while still in the left hand, and the work is done. The rubber bands are better than strings, as they hold the bunches neater and save much labor in using them, and labor is money in the market garden business. All bunches are made as near alike as possible. After being put up each bunch is cut off about six inches long and placed in a shallow pan containing water. Here it remains until the next morning, when it is placed in boxes containing wet moss, the boxes covered with wet sacks. The boxes are placed Joseph Clark, Jr., is still singing "The Furniture Man." Miss Mollie Robinson sends her best regards to Walter G. Tinsley Berry, the bowyer singer, Clover Compton, the bavitone songster, and all Louisville friends. Elmo Taylor sends his best regards to the Hero boys of Louisville, and says "I'll be with you when the roses bloom again." Nellie Price, Critic Burks, Robert Clark and Joseph Clark took a flying visit to Canada, August 24th, from Port Huron. Mich., and had an enjoyable time. The Spellman children are rehearsing a new act. The Russells, Lula and Joseph, send their best regards to the Blacks, Perry and Leona, Williams and Devine. Joseph Clark, Jr., sends regards to Daddy Love, Al. Holdman, Mamie, Punch Jones, Tom Cole, and says Bud Lively, Alf. Hamilton and Simon T. Denmore write. Our roster of colored performers consists of Elmo Taylor, Robert Clark, Joseph Russell, Lula Russell, Mary, Edna and Willie Spellman, Critic Burks, Nellie Price, Mollie Robinson and Joseph Clark, Jr., stage manager.

A Marker From an Old Cultivator. The illustration shows a corn marker without a fault. All cultivators are not alike, as some have straight tongues, and some have a seat attached, but they can all be used by simply removing the wheels and shovel beams. No. 1 A shows a hole where a clevis attaches the whiffletrees. This brings the draft on the sled instead of the frame. D shows a plank spiked on behind, making a place for the driver to HOMEMADE CORN MARKER stand, thus leaving a clear vision between his horses and straight ahead. C shows where the wheel spindles are secured to the marker plank with a yoke, secured on the underside of the plank by burs. At B is an upright pin. This prof. Charles H.

The time is not far distant when there will be no legal right to deceive people as to what they are eating. Every office building on earth is congested with hollow eyed prisoners who are planning to be gentlemen farmers, about next year or year after, away from the hurly burly and nothing to do except raise chickens. To be a good cattle feeder means that one must have an inborn love for the work, and combined with this must be a high form of intelligence. One of the most unfortunate of mental habits is a persistent and chronic disposition to perceive only the disagreeable things of life. Farmers will wake up some day and pull together. --- W. A.

Fannie Nichols is preparing to Leland college, New Orleans, La. Mr. John Ford has returned from Notwithstanding the fact that Cambridge, Mass., is outranked by no city in the land in the culture and refinement of its inhabitants, certain it is that no American community has so honored the Negro as have the people of the University City. Not only have they esteemed the black man as their equal for a half century, but they are doing it today. Twice has Cambridge been represented in the state legislature by Negroes. In each instance the successful candidate resided in a section of the city where the vote of his race was relatively small. Seven members of the common council have been of African decent. A Negro is now at the head of the city department of bacteriology. Another is a member of the board of trustees that directs the conduct of the public library. A black man has been a member of the board of aldermen. Another has been chief of the fire department. He was the only man of his race then a member of the city's fire fighting force. There is one Negro politician now in the service. He has been in the department for nineteen years. A black man has been commander of a white Grand Army Post. A Negro woman is principal of a grammar school in a fashionable section Under her are six white teachers and several hundred white pupils. Best known of all Cambridge Negroes is William H. Lewis, recently appointed by President Rosevelt to be assistant United States district attorney for this section. Lewis first became especially prominent as a player on the Harvard football eleven. His work as center rush on the team in the early 90s has never been equaled by a Harvard man since. Lewis was graduated from the university law school in 1895. Soon after he was admitted to the bar. Not long after that he married Miss Elizabeth Baker, of the class of 1898, Wellesley. In the years 1899, 1890 and 1901 Lewis represented ward five, Cambridge, in the city council. Then he went higher, his legislative district, the Fifth Middlees, sending him as its representative to a seat in the lower house on Beacon Hill. As an orator Lewis has few if any superiors in Massachusetts. He was born in Berekeley, Va., in 1868. He was the son of a Baptist clergyman. He has been president of the Amhert Alumni club and is a member of the Cambridge and Middlesex clubs. Cambridge has few more proficient attorneys than Clement G. Morgan. For five years did he represent his ward in the Cambridge city council, for two in the lower body and the next three in the board of aldermen. He, too, is a Harvard man, from which university he was graduated with distinction in the class of 1900. One of the honors that came to him upon the occasion of graduation was his election as class orator—a compliment never before accorded to one of his race at Cambridge. Morgan completed five years of service as a city father. A third Negro whom everybody in Cambridge has heard of, and most of whom know, is Dr. William C. Lane. For many years Dr. Lane has been conspicuous as a leader among the voters of his race in the party that makes non-partisanship in city politics its basis. In state and national politics he is a Republican. Notwithstanding the fact that he opposed Mayor McNamee in his campaign last fall the latter appointed him to the position that he now holds, that of chief bacteriologist in the board of health. Dr. Lane is a capable physician, and his practice is a large and lucrative one. He was born in Elizabeth, City, N. C., in 1854, and came to Boston in 1872, settling in Cambridge soon after. In 1883 and 1884 he was elected to the common council by the Republican party. He is a member of a half-dozen secret societies and social organizations. The Rev. J. Henry Duckrey is at present a member of the board of trustees of the Cambridge public library. Mr. Duckrey is just 40 years of age. He was born in Summit Bridge, Del., and received his early education in the Philadelphia schools. Later he was graduated at Lincoln University. He left a prosperous pastorate in Delaware ten years ago to come to Cambridge. His success here has been remarkable. When he became the pastor of Mount Olivet church the society was composed of twenty-five persons. Now the worshippers are many times that number. The church has purchased 10,000 feet of land, and has erected an edifice that cost $19,000. The Rev. Mr. Duckrey is personally well to do. Cambridge sent the first black man to Beacon Hill who ever sat as a member of the Massachusetts legislature. He was Joshua Bowen Smith. He served for two years in that body, and served with distinction. He had earlier won the regard of Charles Summer and other abolition leaders. He was made a Freemason by St. Andrew's lodge, and was the first man of his color to sit as a member of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. For his second term in the house Smith was nominated by acclamation, his Caucasian colleague went through the form of a ballot—evidence of the consideration which is accorded the Negro in Cambridge. Miss Maria L. Baldwin has been at the head of the Agassa school since 1899 There is hardly a Negro pupil among her hundreds of pupils, the majority of whom come from the best families in the city. Patrick Henry Raymond was one of the best fire chiefs that every directed the Cambridge department. He was a Negro. The National Association of Fire Chiefs elected him as its secretary. EDWARD R. CARTER, Ph. G. Dr. Edward R. Carter is a young man of great promise, and is well fixed in the hearts of the people of Asheville. He is a happy example of what a young man with pluck can accomplish. Born in Athens, Ga. Educated at Atlanta University. Took his degree at Shaw, where he graduated in the class of 1903. The year of his graduation finds him in charge of the colored drug store at Asheville, N. C., of which he is part owner. This young man's life is a beautiful object lesson, especially when it is known that he paid his way through school by applying himself to useful pursuits when out of school. Dr. Carter is the son of Rev. E. R. Carter, D. D., a prominent and cultured divine of Atlanta, Ga. Educational Notes. Prof. W. S. Scarborough, vice-president of Wilberforce University, has recently read before the American Phological Association at Yale University a scholarly critique on the authorship of the famous "Oration against Alcibiades."—Southern Workman. Dr. M. F. Wheatland, the well-known Negro physician of Newport, R. I., has added to his reputation by his able and successful work with X-rays. The doctor's present professional eminence is the result of his own hard work and diligent research, for when he graduated eight years ago from Howard University, Washington, he was so poor he had not even money enough to pay for his diploma. There is now no practitioner in Newport held in higher esteem than he is in his specialty. Dr. Wheatland is also an honored member of many medical associations as well as a recognized authority as a writer on therapeutics.—From the "North American." W. W. Stewart of White Plains, Ga., is erecting a college in that section for young men and women of the state. Like all such institutions much money The Malott Coal and Lime Co.

No out ever carried in the columns of The Freeman was more deserving of the space it occupied than the likeness of Prof. W. J. Trent. Mr. Trent is a graduate of Livingstone, and a young man of most excellent parts. When war was declared between this country and Spain he offered his service to his country. The man's high character immediately asserted itself. He organized the Y. M. C. A. in his regiment, which was not only self sustaining, but under Mr. Trent's management paid a sung sum into the general Y. M. C. A. treasury. At the close of the war he was offered Y. M. C. A. work in Brooklyn, N.Y., but declined to accept the presidency of Greenville College, Greenville, N.C. This post he held with distinction until called to his present field. The Y. M. I. is a beautiful brick structure, the gift of Mr. Vanderbilt to the colored people of Asheville. The colored people stood in danger of seeing this mark of favor pass from them. Under past management it seemed a failure. Prof. Trent was appealed to by his friends to step in and save the reputation of his people. He did so, and was entrusted with the Institute property. He has made it a paying concern and the most attractive spot for colored people in Asheville. No man in the city is more respected than he. He is doing a great work among the young people of his race. The readers of The Freeman may expect to hear more of Prof. Trent. M. Leonard Frazier, a prominent lawyer of New York city, has sent to Commissioner Stinson for Morris Brown college a check for $100 The money is to be applied to the industrial department, in which he has great faith. He promises to give some attention to the school in a financial way in the future if the good beginning is continued. Hels favorably impressed with the work accomplished by Stinson while in the east.

The opinion is expressed in some quarters that because General Wright, the new Governor of the Philippines, is a Southerner, "he will put the niggers where they belong." If he should attempt to enforce the Southern view of "niggers" against the Filipinos President Roosevelt would soon put him where he would then belong—viz: out of office.—The Indianapolis Journal. It may be borrowing trouble; but in event he does, "out of office" is where he would belong. Last week was carnival in Indianapolis, when everyone gets a little gay. The horse show comes next; the nags are receiving unusual grooming and extra rations. The thing is sympathetic and many a horse will receive an additional allowance and a brisker rubbing out of sheer force of environment or horse show contagion. It is a great time for the horses.

Weak, nervous, fretful, puny children require a treatment such as only Dr. Miles' Nervine affords. When neglected these symptoms lead to epileptic fits or spasms. Every mother should attempt her own and bores' nerves with Dr. Miles' Nervine, a true specific in all nervous disorders. Read the following: "When my little boy was 18 months old he had cramp in his feet and hands. They would be drawn out of shape for two or three days. At first lintiment seemed to help but in about two weeks nothing did any good the doctor gave him. We called another doctor and he changed to another who called it spinal disease. By this time the child's body was drawn out of shape; his backbone was curved to one side and his hands and feet out of shape. His sufferings were terrible, and he was having from two to six fits a day. I was taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine for nervous trouble and saw it was recommended help him. All three doctors had given him up. One-half bottle stopped the fits and his limbs straightened, and another bottle cured him. He is now a strong, healthy boy going to school. I have waited to see if the old trouble returned, before writing you, but it never could. I cannot praise Dr. Miles' Nervine enough." -MRS. URIAH NELSON, Lansing, Iowa.
