THE FREEMAN AND ETHIOPIA SHALL STRETCH FORG HER HAND Public Library 1 of 4 A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XVI. NUMBER 46. PEACE IN BOSTON TROTTER AND FORBES ESCAPE STRIRES BY APOLOGIES WILLIAM PICKENS PERSUADED TO Abandon the Libel Proceedings—Repre bensible Conduct of Certain Illinibis Colored Me —Dr. Harris a Splendid Examplar of Ace's Possibilities Bv Our Special Correspondent. And now the white winged messenger of peace hovers serenely over the turrets and towers of the erstwhile beleaguered city of Boston. The libel proceedings against William Monro Trotter and George Washington Forbes, of the Boston Guardian, instituted by William Pickens, have been dismissed, through the inter-session of interested friends, who wished to save the journalistic duo from an apparel of stripes. By the advice of these level-headed friends Messrs Trotter and Forbes tendered appropriate and ample apologies for the strictures upon the young Yale student, and Mr. Pickens accepted them, abandoning the prosecution in consideration thereof. The apologies were wholly unsolicited by the Pickens side of the litigation, and his full and complete victory and vindication came as gratious offer on the part of the Trotter-Forbes combination, which saw nothing but breakers ahead. "All's well that ends well." Mr. Pickens is to be commended for his generosity and forbearance, under very erasingcircumstances. The incident, though happily closed, does not fail to strongly impress the fact that the several gentlemen who have been silently enduring the Guardian's abuse for lo these many months do not intend to put up with it any longer. It is easily discernible that a continuation of the scurrilous features that have disgraced its columus in the past will lead to prompt and vigorous appeal to the courts for redress. If Trotter and Forbes possess any of the saving grace of common sense, now that "Grim-visaged war hath smoothed her wrinkled front" they will make a desperate effort to "be good," and give staid old New England the clean, wholesome paper that their admitted talents, rightly directed, so amply qualifies them to produce. X Dr. L. H. Harris, of Washington, D. C., founder and manager of the Harris Chemical Company, is a type of the business man that the Negro race loves to honor. From a modest beginning as a pharmacist, he has by honest dealing, through competency and prompt attention to patrons built up an enterprise that ranks with the very best manufacturing and retail drug firms in the country, irrespective of color. His store at the corner of Third and F streets, Southwest, is the rallying point of a heavy mixed trade, and it is safe to say that no pharmacist in the populous Southwest can show anything approximating the receipts taken in by Dr. Harris on sales over the counter. His place is commodious, elegantly turned and the stock is always kept fresh, varied and to-date. Three years ago he began the manufacture of Harris' Blood Tonic, and it instantly met with marked favor as an effective remedy for those afflicted with complaints having their seat in the blood, liver and bowels and disordering the entire nerves and digestive system. The demand from drug stores and private persons in Washington grew so large that it was decided to push the preparation on the extensive scale that its demonstrated merits were organized and incorporated to take up this work on a systematic basis. The venture has been phenomenally successful, and the result is as surprising as it is gratifying to Dr. Harris and his associate promoters. Every section of the land is now reached by Harris' Blood Tonic, and orders are coming in all the time from additional white and colored firms in response to the demand for the medicine by customers who have learned from their friends of its wonderful curative properties. The express companies' books at the nations' capitol bear positive testimony of the widespread popularity that Harris' Blood Tonic has attained in the past twenty-five months. It is without doubt the best preparation of the kind now on the market, and the best people are praising it an unqualified terms. Dr. Harris prosperity is not swelling his head a bit. He is one of the most genial and companionable men on earth, and to pay him a visit is almost as inspiring as a draught at the historic fount of eternal youth for which the adventurous Ponce de Leon sought with all the ardency characteristic of the Spanish nature. He is assisted in business by his charming and accomplished wife, Dr. Willie May Harris, herself a thoroughly schooled pharmacist, chemist and authority on hygenic subjects. She is an honor graduate of the pharmaceutical branch of Howard Medical School, of Washington. We bespeak for Dr. Harris continued success in the field he is now filling with so much dcredit and distinction. He will be a prominent figure at the fifth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League at Indianapolis next August. The methods employed by certain woul-be leaders of Illinois to boost themselves to the front are reprehensible in the extreme. For instance, the statement was sent out from Springfield, Ill., that at the recent meeting of a Negro convention booked there, resolutions denouncing Booker Washington were passed by those gathered there. Since the meeting adjourned, however, it develops that this statement was wholly false. A committee on address did report resolutions antagonistic to Booker Washington, and a minority report praising Booker Washington was also offered. The motion to lay the minority report on the table was defeated by a vote of 32 to 23. It was then decided that that portion of the report referring to Booker Washington should be reported back to the committee. The other part of the report was adopted. Since it was so apparent that resolutions antagonizing Booker Washington could not be passed, the committee made no further report on the matter, but dishonestly the resolutions referring to Booker Washington, as well as the other portions of the report, were sent to the press as though they had been passed. The puny efforts of these Chicago and Illinois gentlemen, headed by a certain lawyer and a recently dismissed Masonic dispenser of degrees at so much per, are laughable to the limit. In delightful contrast with the above exhibition of puerility is this neat and sympathetic note of appreciation from one of nature's noblemen, inspired by reading Mr. Washington's contribution to the October Atlantic Monthly, entitled: "The Fruits of Industrial Training." It is highly encouraging to a man who loves his work to be thus remembered by one whose good opinion is more to be prized than gold. See: [Telegram] Saratoga N. Y., Oct., 20, '03. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Alabama. I have only today been able to read your Atlantic a ticle, I must relieve my enthusiasm by telegraphing you that it is worthy of literally world wide circulation. GEORGE FOSTER PEABODY. The nonsensical scheme of John Temple Graves, E. W. Carmack and a few others looking to the separation of the races reminds us very forcibly of an old story that used to be current in Breckenridge county, Kentucky. A slave-owner became greatly incensed at one of his Negroes because of a series of disobedictions on the part of the latter and failures to agree on some matters connected with the tobacco crop. Said he one morning, in a rage: "Sam, I'm getting dog-goned tired of fussing with you all the time. This plantation isn't big enough for us two to get along on in peace. One of us has got to leave!" To this vehement speech, the good natured Negro replied, with a broad grin and roll of the eyes: "Why, what's you gwyne, Maree John?" Yes, if this vast republic of our isn't big enough for the black man and the white man to dwell in harmoniously and progressively, where does the whites intend to go to get rid of the Negro? We have decided to remain, kickers and croakers to the contrary notwithstanding. ---x--- It is also encouraging to note the evidences of sympathetic co-operation developing between the white and colored people of the three Ohio Falls cities—Lonisville, New Albany and Jeffersonville. A revival of interest is being manifested in the National Federation of Civic Rights, an organization composed of broad-minded men of both races, drawn together by a mutual desire to uphold the dignity of the laws and sacred institutions of this republic. The officers are: President, Judge John H. Statesenburg; Vice President, Bishop George W. Clinton; Corresponding Secretary, Judge George B. Cardwell; Recording Secretary, Dr. W. O. Vance; Treasurer, Dr. R. F. Porter. The WHAT THAT AX FOR? NUTHIN' THE LAW THAT THE "GANG" IS IN THE HAND OF THE LAW. DEATH BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN SPARED. THAT THERE WERE "PUMPKIN ON THE VINES."

While the scope is national, its concrete manifestations are, for the present, chiefly local. Its leaders believe in commencing right-beginning with a firm foundation in its own home, New Albany, Ind, and planning to spread out with a national growth. The board of directors held a good meeting last Thursday, and mapped out an aggressive line of campaign for the fall and winter in the Falls cities. R. W. Thompson, of Jeffersonville, was elected to membership on the board, succeeding Register of the Treasury Judson W. Lyons, who is unable to serve on account of pressure of official duties at Washington. The other members of the board, besides those already mentioned, are Rev. S. C. Manuel, Dr. W A. Burney and W. H. Steward. Dr. M. W. Sparks, chief of the New Albany division, has been instructed to arrange for a public meeting, and an effort will be made to stir the people anew to their plain duty in the matter of personal and racial protection and racial development, educationally and materially. —x— The Washington Conference of the National Sociological Society last week was full of interest and profit to the race and country will be certain to accrue from the deliberations under its call. The speakers were all representative of the purest American thought, purposes and ideals, and the plans outlined were practical and feasible. Next week we shall have more to say of the work that this body has so auspiciously begun. Our churches should work more than one day in seven. Ira T. Bryant continues to loom largely in WHY WE SHOULD GIVE THANKS. the delegates eye as the prospective secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. Don't exploit grievances at the expense of opportunities. Let us endeavor to preserve our faith in the capacity of the Negro to do something for himself. Hawaii has a colored district judge in the person of Hon. W. F. Crockett, formerly of Montgomery, Ala. The washing of a religious connection's dirty linen is not an edifying spectacle for the general public. Rev. R. W. Simmons, of Alabama, is the logical candidate for general stewart of the A. M. E. Zion connection—at least, he says so! Congress and the National Sociological society both assembled in Washington last week without unduly taxing the resources of the town. Lack of punctuality is the Negro's besetting sin. Be on time with engagements for every kind of a meeting and for the payment of money that you owe. White people whose social standing is secure waste no time indulging in nightmares over the Negro's ambition for an "equality" that does not and cannot exist. Stand by the white business firms that advertise in colored newspapers. Let us spend our money with the enterprises that show us the courtesy of inviting our trade. Teachers should receive better pay, if we hope to encourage men and women of talent to fit themselves for a permanent career in the noble work of developing future citi-zens. The Negro race is not benefited materially by irresponsible gatherings which meet, wrangle, elect officers, pass resolutions not always fair to persons or measures, and then adjourn. No stone should be left unturned to secure the confirmation of Dr. W. D. Crum as Collector of Customs for Charleston, S. C. There must be no recognition of color in American citizenship. Although Brother John Wesley Cromwell launched the J. Albert Johnson bishopric boom fully two weeks ago, the rivers in and about Baltimore and Washington show no signs of a confession. No community wherein as many as fifty colored persons reside can afford to be with out a civic organization for the advancement of their interests along business, industrial and practical lines. If what Rev. J M Henderson says of Secretary W. D Chappelle is true, it mighs not be a bad idea to give Mr. Ira T. Bryant a chance to redeem the somewhat frazzled reputation of the Sunday-school Union. Word comes from Philadelphia that the precious Declaration of Independence is fading away. It is hoped that its great painsciples of liberty and equality are not likewise fading out of the American heart. In the multiplication of organizations devoted to identical purposes tends to waste our energy and resources and reduce the effectiveness of our labors. C combination, concentration and cooperation are the watchwords that promote success. A note from a labor organ informs us that the rubberworkers of Indianapolis have organized. The unionizing of the "rubberneckers" would be the next logical step. It might keep them from working overtime, as they have been doing for quite a season. The esteemed American Baptist has a neat local feature entitled "People and Pleasant Events." The caption might be more fitting, however, if Editor Steward would get his eagle eye and blue pencil busy and eliminate the reports of the sick and the dead. The Cleveland Gazette is in need of a tonic. For unexplained reasons it doesn't like President Roosevelt, Senator Hanna, T. Thomas Fortune, John P. Green or Continued on page 4. THE FIFTH MEETING OF THE NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AT NASHVILLE. MANY INTERESTING PAPERS READ By Leading Physicians and Many Dificult Surgical Operations Performed by Leading Surgeons-Most Successful Convention Yet Held. The National Association of Colored Physicians, Surgeons, Dentists and Pharmacists met in fifth annual session at Spruce Street Baptist church Nasbville, Tenn. November 10 to 13. The meeting was called to order by Dr. F. A. Stewart, president, music by Meharry Medical College quartette, prayer by Rev. H. W. Keys, music by Meharry quartette. The minutes of the last meeting were adopted. An address of welcome was delivered by Hon. A. S. Williams, mayor, who extended a most hearty and cordial welcome, and very hearty welcome addresses were also delivered by Rev. W. S. Ellington, Attorney R. L. Mayfield, Drs. J. A. Lester, W. M. servier, G. W. Hubbard and R. F. Boyd. Responses were delivered by Drs. J. W. Rowland, Pine Bluff, Ark., and B. E. Huchabes, Greensboro, Ala., and others. Perhaps the most instructive and original paper of the meeting, one that showed careful research and much clinical data, and upon subjects upon which our textbooks touch but very lightly, was delivered by the eminent surgeon of Chicago, Dr. Daniel H. Williams. Penetrating wounds of the thorax and illustrating by cuts and drawings, Dr. Williams is our greatest surgeon and is making original operations upon the thorax. Then the very instructive annual address was delivered by the president in his most scholarly manner; many important recommendations were made for the good of the association. Register shows 75 names of the most prominent physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists in the United States. The order of programme was then up and the following very instructive papers were read and enjoyed by the association: "Maternal Impressions," Dr.W. E. Steers, Decatur, Ala.; Dr T.A. Walker, Baton Rouge, LA, had for his subject "Abcess Between the Second and Third Metatarsal Bones of the Left Foot" and also "Second Diagnosis of Era-Uterine Preenancy." Those papers were well received and gave evidence that careful preparation and practical knowledge had been used by the doctor; "Phlebitis Following Abdominal Operations is of Septic Origin" was read by Dr. N. F. Moss-ll. DR J W NORREL, Muncle, Ind. Philadelphia. This paper was highly received and original and showed careful investigation. The association met at 7:30 o'clock and the first paper of the evening was by Dr. W. L. Councilt, Birmingham, Ala., subject, "Dr. Surgery to the General Practitioner;" next paper was read by Dr. S. H. Broome, Jackson, Tenn., subject, "Fracture of the Femur;" an interesting paper was "Shock, Classification, Etiology and Treatment" by Dr. John A. Kenney, Tuskegee, Ala.; the subject claiming attention of the surgeons was "Conservative Surgery of the Tubes and Ovaries" by Dr. W. A. Warfield. Oth- Continued on page 5.

Manufacturer of Face Preparations, New Orleans, La. Mme, M. C. Turner, 1511 Dryades-st, New Orleans, La., is the widow of Burrell Turner, a prominent gentleman of Indiana. At his death, ten years ago. Mme. Turner went to New Orleans in pursuit of a living for her little family, where she engaged in her present business on a very small scale, and by her wonderful skill in treating the complexion and straightening the hair by a method known only to herself, which is simply a liquid shampoo, she soon amassed sufficient funds to enable her to branch out on a more elaborate order. Today Mme. Turner has upon the market the finest medicated complexion and soap soap known to the dermaologists of America. She has testimonials from the leading physicians of the South praising its merit in skin diseases of all kinds. Her overwhelming success has enabled her to give employment to several persons in the manufacture of this soap. She enjoys a large mail order business and city trade. Mme. Turner is a member of the City Business League and the Phyllis Wheatly Women's Club, of New Orleans. + The Colored Agricultural and Mechanical Association of Lexington, Kentucky, organized in 1869, is a member of the National Trotting; Association.

Election Aftermath in Louisville. Louisville, Ky., Special.—The great fall election is over. Kentucky, Jefferson county, and the city of Louisville have gone Democratic by sweeping majorities—obtained by ways that were dark and tricks that were not in vain. The remarkable thing about the affair is the conspicuous part played by a certain element of the Negroes. Though not an organic part of the democracy—scorned by it, in fact—they were hired to make it impossible for the larger portion of their fellow-citizens to cast their ballots in peace, and they earned their salary with a strenuousness and fidelity worthy of a better cause. Like all new converts to a cause, they out-did their white preceptors in the work of bulldozing and high-handed intimidation. With the support of a partisan police force, and immune from prosecution, these Hessian followers of the democracy frightened away from the polls many Negroes of standing and influence, who had been exercising the franchise for years without protest. What the final result will be of this open alliance of colored hewers, with the worst phases of democratic politics is an open question. The Negro vote of Louisville cannot be said to be solidly Republican any longer. Will the Democratic legislature deem it best, under these circumstances, to retain the party's hold upon these skilled tacticians for similar work at future elections, or will the scheme of disfranchisement for the whole race be pushed to a finish, as contemplated a short time ago? Can the Republicans, by a sturdy front for recognition of the Negroes, inscribe the loyal colored voters to a degree of enthusiasm that will lead them to run these fellows to cover by meeting force with superior force? Can the argument be sustained by concrete demonstration that the Negro fares any better under its putative "friends" than under its alleged enemies? Can the black men who worked for Beckham and got their money be persuaded that those who supported Belknap for sentiment got the more profitable end of the deal? The Negro's relation to the Louisville machine is much like that existing between the race's practical politicians and Tammany in New York, and the Harrison and Taggart organization in Chicago and Indianapolis respectively. The situation is indeed worthy of close study at the hands of those who watch the swing of city suffrage, and who take note of the temper of the colored voter in these days of social and political unrest. Miss May L. Woolfolk has been added to the faculty of the Eastern School, and Miss Nora Ferguson to the teaching corps of the Eighth Street School.

Cadiz Personals. Cadiz, O., Special.—Henry Ha of Washington, D. C., a former boy, is visiting old friends her few days. Mr. Hargrave is a s example of what energy and pu do for a young man of the race. his graduation from the Cadiz school he attended a full course berforce University, from wh graduated with honors: he then Washington, entered Howard U. Sports from Minneapolis, Minn. The sports of Minneapolis and St. Paul have been treated to some very good sport in the boxing line. Frank Carroll, the Chicago lightweight, has been making Minneapolis his headquarters for awhile. In the meantime he has engaged in several contests; his first was with Mickey Riley (white) of Milwaukee, Wis., in which Riley was a hot favorite over him, but, after ten rounds of one sided fighting, Carroll having all the best of it, it was decided a draw to save Riley's friends' money; then, in turn, the management ran away with Carroll's end of the purse. In order to give Carroll another chance the Plokwick Club of Minneapolis arranged a match with Otto Lieloff of Chicago, which took place the 2d of November. Lieloff was a two-to-one favorite over Carroll, but after the first round it was even money on Carroll with no Lieloff money in sight. Lieloff was knocked down in the seventh and was jabbed dizzy throughout the contest, and at the end of the fifteenth round was more dead than alive. But Frank Force of the Minneapolis Triumph, who had bet on Lieloff, was the referee, and so decided against Carroll. The colored sports lost heavily on Carroll; Carroll was robbed outright. Carroll's fighting so hard and being so game with odds against him the colored sports of the twin cities will give a grand testimonial benefit and ball on the 16th of November for him, who is a coming champion and is open to meet anybody, barring Joe Gans, at 138 or 138 pounds William Prather of Louisville, Ky., is here and sends regards to all friends. Blackbun Out Points Gans. At Philadelphia, November 3d 'Kid' Blackburn, of Indianapolis, outpointed Joe Gans, the lightweight champion of the world, in a fast six round bout at the Washington Sporting Club. The men were to weigh in at 138 pounds at 6 o'clock Blackburn was on hand and weighed 138 pounds with all of his underclothing on. Gans did not weigh. In the first round Gans knocked Blackburn down with a punch on the jaw. He was up in an instant. Blackburn had all the best of the last five rounds. He had Gans bleeding in the third and sixth rounds from continual jabbing on the nose. When the men took the center of the ring it was seen that Blackburn was a trifle the taller, but there did not seem to be much difference in their weight. They did not waste much time in getting together. --- Johnson is After Jeff. At San Francisco, November 8rd Jack Johnson is willing to make any concession to obtain a match with Jeffries. He says he is willing that the purse should be divided 90 and 10, or any other way that the champion prefers. Johnson feels confident he can make a fight with Jeffries an interesting exhibition. The Colma and Yosemite clubs also think so. All that Jeff has to do is to say the word and the match is made. There is no doubt of a bumper house, and if the champion should win a modest estimate would fix his share of the receipts at HAIR Learn how to Straighten Curly and Kinky Hair.

HALF FARE PLUS $2.00 for $15,000. Johnson does not limit the number of rounds, being satisfied that the contest be to a finish if the boiler-maker would have it that way. In fact the colored champion passes the whole thing up to Jefferies. Johnson's Friends Criticising Jeffries The sports in San Francisco are beginning to say that Jeffries must drop the color line or else give up the championship. They say that had McVey borne out his promise and whipped Jack Johnson, Jeff would be forced to give him a chance, but McVey proved a duo, and Johnson outpointed him so easily and knocked the big around so handily that Johnson's championship stock has advanced. The slim but powerful Negro is now eager to meet Jeffries and is willing to make any division of the purse that will suit Jim. Johnson's admirers say Jeff, showed no animosity toward Negro boxers before he was champion and he has no right now to draw the color line. At Boston, November 11.—Sandy Ferguson, of Chelsea, the comparatively new claimant to pugilistic distinction, last night won a clean-cut decision over Joe Walcott, the almost invincible Negro, who has easy victories over Joe Choynski and other heavyweights to his credit. The battle went the full fifteen rounds and, while there were no knockdowns, and Ferguson in several of the early rounds ran away from his small opponent at times, there was on question as to the merit of the decision of referee Dan Donnelly in awarding the battle to Ferguson on points. --- In the City of Brotherly Love recently Joe Gans, the lightweight champion, and Joe Grim, the Italian pugilist of that city who stood six rounds before Bob Fitzsimmons and received such severe punishment, met in a six-round fight at the Washington Sporting club. Gans had the better of the fight from beginning to end, sending Grim to the floor one or more times in nearly every round. The Italian received a severe pounding, but the colored champion was unable to knock him out. --- Fights in England At the National Sporting Club, London, Nov. 9th, "Joe" Bowker of Manchester defeated "Alf" Fellows of Chicago, in the ninth round for the bantam-weight championship. At Newcastle on the-Tyne, Nov. 9, in a twenty round contest for the 120-pound championship. George Dixon, American, defeated Pedlar Palmer, an English pugilist, on points. ... Before the Criterion club in Boston on the Night of November 3 Joe Walcott received the decision over Kid Carter of New York in a lively fifteen-round battle. The men were quite evenly matched and the fight was a good one. Walcott had a shade the better of the argument throughout. *** George Dixon's victory over Pedlar Palmer in England Monday night was the most remarkable performance that has been done in the ring for a long time. Dixon was a marvel years and years ago, and appears to have recovered some of his lost farm. Patsy Sweeney now wants to tackle Joe Gans. The men may be matched soon before a Boston club, and the bout will be one of the best things Gans has picked up in some time. Interesting Items.

Special.—Henry Hargrave, of Washington, D. C., a former Cadiz boy, is visiting old friends here for a few days. Mr. Hargrave is a splendid example of what energy and push will do for a young man of the race. After his graduation from the Cadiz High school he attended a full course at Wilberforce University, from which he graduated with honors; he then went to Washington, entered Howard University and graduated from the Medical Department, and is now employed in the Medical Department of the Pension Bureau at Washington. He expects next summer to set up active practice for himself. Mr. Hargrave was a poor boy, but has worked his way up by hard labor between school terms until he has become a flnifleded physician. He is a credit to his native place and Cadiz feels justly proud of him. The funeral services of Mrs. Driggins were held at Simpson chapel on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Notes.—The second annual meeting of the Farmers' convention, held at Lincoln Institute, Saturday, Nov 7, 1903, was a decided success, and the local press gave much space to the discussion of its proceedings and the principles for which it stands. Among other utterances the following: "The Farmers' convention, with many other excellent features inaugurated at Lincoln Institute by resident B. F. Allen, deserve more than passing notice for it shows him to be fully alive to the best interests of the Negro, and if such a convention should accomplish intangible results no more than to awaken in the minds of the young people attending the institute a love for agricultural pursuits, knowledge of the value of land, desire and determination to own some of the same, it will have established a raison d'etre." The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President—Dr. B. F. Allen. Vice-president—Henry Kirklin. Secretary—J. S. Yates. Treasurer—G. S. Murray. State Organizers—C. G. Williams, Boonville; J. H. Kenner, Marshall; Rev. McKinney, Carruthersville; A. Logan, Huntsville; E. L. Anthony, Jefferson City. The convention meets annually on the first Saturday in November, and is destined to be of much practical value to the Negro farmers of the great Middle West with its agricultural lands of unparalleled fertility. Joseph Douglass, a leading violinist, and a grandson of the late Frederick Douglass, gave a concert in Lincoln Institute auditorium on the 16th. --- The Southern Workman of Hampton, Va, has the following: "Some two hundred and seventy new students have entered this year. The old students have come back in large numbers, too, so that the school is now larger than at any previous time in its history. The dormitories are filled to overflowing and numerous makeshifts were resorted to for temporary quarters while the entrance examinations were being taken. The total enrollment of boarding pupils at the end of the first week was eight hundred. Last year the average attendance was about six hundred and seventy. There are forty-four new Indian students, and it is interesting to note that the Indian attendance, which fell off last year because of the difficulty of getting pupils of the required grade, is again up to the standard in point of numbers, which is about one hundred and thirty. The tribes represented by those who have just entered are the Sloux of North and South Dakota, the Omahas of Nebraska, the Chippewas of Minnesota, the Crows of Montana, the Senecas and Onondagas of New York, the Onedidas of Wisconsin and the Shawnees, Wichitas and Potawatomies of Oklahoma.

THANKSGIVING DAY. Perhaps Thanksgiving Day is not quite so full of meaning to the colored people as it is to others who have in mind the first few that sat down in thankfulness to the first feast in the wilderness after the starving time, and who in following the beautiful custom set, limit not their thanks for food merely or raiment, but give thanks for the general goodness of God as seen through the many works for the benefit of mankind; for the utmost liberty and freedom, the result of the genius of the government. The colored man suffers some political ills and suffers somewhat civically, generally; but the reasons for thanks comes in measuring the distance overcome rather than that yet to go. When viewed in that light, from a slave in clangerous iron to a Booker T Washington, it is indeed a matter for gratulation and thanksgiving. The general laws of the land are free from bias as to race or color, proving that the great heart of the country is right. The mutterlings here and there are but reminders of what we once were and signs of what we are passing through and without which there would be no race problem. They are talking of Senator Fairbanks, insisting that he should stand for the vice presidency. What would he say if he were inclined to talk of them? The city police are doing overtime among the robbers, but the gamblers are said to be like the Campbels—they are coming. It appears in that in its gas muddle the people are determined that a public trust shall not become a private snap. President Roosevelt's esteem for Governor Durbin—a song without words and in no minor key. THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER The A. M. E. church Review, for the last quarter, is an excellent production spiritually and mechanically. The article on "Architecture," which bears directly on that noted in the A. M. E. church houses, is a departure, and for the better. It is a phase of church work that has been neglected in some quarters. The neglect in beautifying cannot always be attributed to that negligence as it is best understood, but studied neglect very often arising from the different interpretation of duty. Some feel that it is a religious duty to be plain, severely plain, conceiving that to be the spirit of the Master, while others feel it is their duty to give God the glory, reflecting back to Him their best gifts for His largess to them. The sacrificing of the best of the flock, bringing the first fruits, etc., the key running through the old book and mythology and idolatry, a form of worship at the worst, seem to typify the spirit of giving Him the glory. If not to Him, te whom? James Walker of Oakridge, Miss, sends the manager of the Freeman Elwood C. Knxn, several fine ears of corn as samples of his farm products, also walnuts and pecans with which the woods are full. The corn will compare favorably with that of the famed corn bearing belt, which is a few degrees further north. Mr. Walker says he produces sixty-five bushels to the acre. The Mall and Express of Red Bank, N. J., is doing good service in its locality by bearing down on the shiftless set of that place. It is a strenuous advocate of remedial agencies, soap, water, compulsory education and occupation such as the hands may find to do. One church paper reproduces The Freeman's "Bishop Making" article with this by the way of admonition: There will be no new bishops made at the next quadrennium, which is quite astrological. Let the Negro suffrage convention, which meets in Washington, D.C., next month, see to it that it is not called on to pass on Booker T Washington as seems to be the case of latter day Negro conventions. The Record of Washington, D.C., Mr. Manly's paper has a good word to say for Rev. Dr. J. M. Townsend of Indianapolis for the seat of Bishops in the A.M.E church. Senator Fairbanks recommends the old Federal building site as an appropriate place for ex-President Benjamin Harrison's monument. It is the best site in the State, but none too good for the illustrious Harrison. But, Mr. Wimberly, had you remained in office, would you have had the same views of President Roosevelt as noted in the "Daily States" of New Orleans, November 6th? The Morning News is the name of a little daily publication of Hopkinsville, Ky. It opens its daily talk with "Good Morning" every morning. Success to it, and may it never be "good night." We yet believe that Liberia is fully capable of taking care of those emigrants now on the verge of starvation in that country. If Liberia can produce the necessitle for the existence of 10,000 people it can produce them for 100 000 people. It is evident that someone of means has been protecting Bessie Davis. Was it Andrew H. Green? They are turning the tables on the gamblers—turning them into the police station. Fifteen robberies in this city by two colored lads; more evidence of progress.

Lieut. Richard E. S. Toomey, author of a volume of poems called "Thoughts for Colored Americans," which take rank with the productions of Paul Laurence Dunbar, has been elected president of the Second Baptist Lyceum at Washington. Under his sagacious direction this well-known organization bids fair to to regain its old time prestige and moral force in the uplift of the race. Little sorrow is expressed by the Negro journals over the defeat of Senator L. E. McComas of Maryland. The race has reached the conclusion that a so-called Republican an who cares nothing for the black man's welfare is better off in the seclusion of private life. We want only our friends on the firing line. Southern Indians is fortunate in having such broadminded humanitarians as Judges John H. Statsenburg and George B. Cardwill. They are active workers in the Federation of Civic Rights, a non-partisan, nonracial organization for the suppression of lynching and all forms of mob violence or unfair interpretation of the laws relating to the civic rights of individuals.

Mallory Bros. and Brooks played the Majestic Theatre in Boston (Sunday concert) November 1 and were the hit of the bill. Mrs. John Rucker joined her husband in Chicago and accompanied him to Cincinnati. Mr Rucker is still starring in "A Stain of Guilt." Boys, whenever you go to Nashville Tenn, stop over at Benj Z Akins' news stand; he has an up-to-date news agency with The Freeman, the most popular of all his journals, on hand. Mamie Lawrence sends regards to Battie Garland, Pearl Wise, Landona Watts, Pauline Crampton, Sarah Price, Annie Jones, Dennis Mitchell and Jesse Thomas, and the boys and girls of Baxter Hall. William Arnte writes from Nashville, Tenn., that he is still with W J. Weaver's Ragtime Opera company. The company has been meeting with success and the outlook ahead seems favorable. Mrs. Arnte jolus her husband in sending best wishes to William Hallback. The Owens Colored Musical and Dramatic company is doing an immense business playing to crowded houses every night. Want to hear at once from good people ladies and gentlemen who can sing and dance and play parts Address John Owens, manager, Sioux Falls, S D. It is said that in 'Mile. Napoleon" there is one song called 'The a la Mode Girl." which has been given the most expensive production ever known to the theatrical profession. In it Miss Held is accompanied by sixteen show girls, no one of whom wears a gown which cost less than four-hundred dollars. Montgomery Bros ' U. T. C. company opened at Ogden, Utah, Saturday, October 24, to a packed house. The band of 22 pieces is a feature. The colored people are doing their part in every way. The Sheltons, Ollie and Tillie, get two and three encores singing "What the Band Played" and doing their specialty work. The advent of "The Brigadiers" at the Empire Theatre is awaited with considerable interest by local amusement seekers. Without doubt this is one of the strongest organizations on the road today and is sure to enjoy a prosperous engagement while in town. Last year "The Brigadiers" held the premiership in the burlesque circuit and more than sustain their reputation this season. Manager Cromwell, who is never inactive, has invented a number of novel light effects, originated new ideas, introduced new comedians, pretty and charmingly gowned young women, interpolated sweet and popular music, and has engaged the proper sort of artists to carry out his up-to date ideas "Seeing New York" is a burlesque that is both funny and entertaining. The performers trot through their various parts with a spontaneity that is refreshing. Notes from the Old Plantation Hall Carnival Co — After a successful season of twenty-six weeks we closed in Helena, Ark. Everyone is eager to get home or to other fields of labor. As far as the "Old Plantation" is concerned, it seems like the breaking up of a family. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cross will spend a few days visiting relatives and friends in Chattanooga, Tenn., after which they will go to their home, Chicago I. A. Earley will visit friends in Memphis and Evansville, then to winter quarters in Louisville. Mattie Floyd will pay a visit to her mother in Rome. G. S. T. Deumore will return to Louisville, to manage the Blue Ribbon theatre Katie Carson will spend the winter with her mother in Memphis. "Old Chap" will be everywhere. Well, the "Lucky Seven" will be with the same company next season, opening at Kokuk, Iowa. Best wishes to all Notes from the Nashville Students and P. G. Lowery's celebrated concert band—Opened season November 16 at Mascoutah, Ill., to S. R. O. and gave perfect satisfaction. The show is composed of several strong attractions this winter, among them being Pearl M. Crawford, P. G. Lowery, Sam. Lucas, the Crosbys, McBeard and other attractions just as efficient. Sam. Lucas, stage manager, deserves special credit for his careful arrangement of the show; it is universally admitted that Mr. Lucas' reputation as a high-class actor and comedian is unquestioned. He is justly termed, as billed with the show, "The Prince of All Actors." Messrs. Hathaway and Baker are equally as pleased carrying this their first colored show as they were with any of their previous shows composed of white artists. Sallie Lee and Essie Williams closing with Sells & Downs November 14 joined us in time for our opening and deserve special mention for their good work. The reputation of P. G. Lowery's celebrated concert band speaks for itself. P. B. R. Hendrix's Chicago Notes — Daddy Love, who has been under the weather again, is able to get down to headquarters and hold things together.

Lew Jones and Rance Smith are still coming to the front. Regards to their friends. Balley and Spiller, undoubtedly the best musical sketcher team in the country, are meeting with great success and are a strong card of the bill at the Chicago Opera House. They don't blow themselves; they let the public do it for them, that's all. Kind regards to all friends. William Windom, composer. singer and manager, is appearing in his new specialty at the Chicago Opera House and is receiving encounters daily. The Vaughners are still a hit upon the coast, for they are making good. Grundy and Weatherby (French), who lately joined hands, are playing over the Orpheum circuit and report as having laid over everything that has played that circuit up to date. You will learn more of them later on. Caldwell and Thomas are still in the ring and getting the money. Regards to all. Owing to the street railway strike, the show business is very quiet. Mr. Hendrix sends regards to all of the profession and says don't forget The Freeman, the leading Negro journal. Notes from the Black Patti Troubadours.—Nettle Goff sends regards to all friends in and out of the profession and would like to hear from the Allen show. Leslie Triplett, the Afro Irish policeman, has been suffering recently from injuries received by being attacked by a mob of white hoodlums the 12th inst. at West Point, Miss. It is rumored that William Nichols, most eminent mimetic, will shortly join in the holy bonds of matrimony, his affaired being the popular cornetist of the team, Goff and Gray, cornet and trombone manipulators. Allie T. Gillam sends regards to John Williams, late of McKissie and Williams, now on tour with the "Alphonse and Gaston" company. H. D. Collins, assistant manager, has been on the sck list for the past few days. J. Ed. Green recently staged "Bedella," sung by Leslie Triplett and interpolated by Anthony D. Byrd as "Bedella," supported by a singing chorus, and has proven itself a success Johnny Jones, porter and waiter, sends regards to Messrs. Gilchrist, Benny Thompson and Harry Kelso and all his many Jersey City friends. Pat. Chappelle's "A Rabbit's Foot" company met the Patti show at Columbus, Miss, the 12th inst. and their Black Hussar band serenaded the company after exhanging courtesies James P.

Mack Allen, the great slackwave equilbrist, has been visiting friends in Tuscaloosa, Ala., the 12th and 13th instants and was received heartily by them. Our correspondent still receives the public's commendation for singing Irving Jones' hit, "You Don't Need Nothin' for Your Nerves," published by F. A. Mills. He sends regards to Tom Logan, Buddie Glenn, Bob Russell and J. Harry Jackson. Daniel Grant, of Anville, S. C., and Lit. Coleson, of Thomasville, Ga., now attend to the ordinary department of the Patti car, succeeding James P. Reed, H. D. Collins acting as caterer. Maude Turner, alto, anticipates returning to New York City from St. Louis, Mo., and among the Thespians in this company will be greatly missed, as all the members are high in her praises and vote her a jolly good fellow and an excellent type of womanhood. Notes from Billy Kersands' own big company. We are still touring Texas, and to use the phrase of the street urchin, we are "mopping up." All of the boys are enjoying good health and having a good time generally. The boys are being banqueted so often now-a-days until it seems more like an outing party than a ministrel show. In Waco we had our first night off this season, and we certainly enjoyed it. We had the pleasure of meeting Sam R. Rose, editor of the Texas Guide, who made it very pleasant for us, and the boys all wish him much success. Cook & Jones, in their comical skit, are still making good. Kid Langford never falls to convulse his audience nightly with his comical sayings. "A Thousand Leagues Neath the Sea," as rendered by A. J. Smith, our boy basso, is the hit of the first part. Well, to make a long story short, the entire etre of the opening chorus of the entire company to the after-place of the famous Alabama quartet, is received with so much enthusiasm that the boys are completely exhausted answering the many encores forced upon them. Having made mention of the many pleasures we have been enjoying it is with no small degree of pain that we are compelled to announce that sorrow has also fallen to our lot. Lloyd Cooper, known throughout the profession as the premier tuba and double bass player, had the sad misfortune to lose his father, Adam Cooper, to Mt. Vernon, Ind. The news cast a gloom over the entire company, and many words of condolence were given Mr. Cooper, that he might be up in his sad bereavement. And the company joins with Mr. Cooper in extending to the entire family their heart-felt sympathy for the loss of their parental head. E J. Burton, leader of the famous Alabama quartet, sends regards to Charles Morris and J L. Johnson Would like to hear from you, boys You can always find me through the 'Old Freeman. David D.

Mr. President and Fellows of the National Medical Association: We, your committee on resolutions, of such a distinguished body of representative Negroes of America, composed of the followers of the doctrines of Hippocrates, dentists and pharmacists, beg leave to submit the following report: At such a time in the building of history of races, such a time of sectional feeling and racial prejudice, such a time of survival of the fittest, a time when in some sections of our commonwealth we find that with our regular unrestricted certificate of qualification in our left hand and our right hand reaching for the latchstrings of the doors of medical associations the doors of organizations are barred to our entrance we congratulate the profession present for this manifestation of our awakening to our senses and the duty of self-preservation. We come from the four corners of America, from the bustling metropolis of America, from the historic Quaker City, we have come from the snow-oclad and frozen zones of New England, from the fragrant, floral, impregnated atmosphere of the Southern states sitting in the lap of the Father of Waters and bathing feet in the Gulf of Mexico, we have come from the pine forests of the Carolinas, the swamps of Louisiana, the cottonfields of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, the Lone Star State swimming upon the bosom of an ocean of petroleum.

SOLUTION OF THE EMERGENCY FUND PROBLEM. BY SYLVESTER RUSSELL. After all the sentiments that have been expressed on the subject of charity, and the grave importance of having an actor's fund to aid incases of slackness or death, there will be actors who will probably hear nothing about the matter at all right now in the heart of a general contribution. There are those who will know about it who will be too poor to contribute the required sum. Some of those who could have saved a dollar, but haven't got it now, will be too careless to give the very fund that will be likely to bury them any further consideration. Meanwhile actors who know about the fund now being in operation will pass other actors by and never say a word to them about it. Some actors have opened their hearts to the situation without question. Some of these have contributed, without a doubt, liberally. Other actors have stubbornly declined to do anything at all and through ignorance have condemned the whole effort and with a wilful, wicked spirit have slandered the good name of a class of actors who will live to see them lying low on a bed of affliction, ready to repent, within the jaws of death, and mindful of the grave to which the fund will carry them. Such is the character of what is taking place without seeing it or knowing it to be a fact. The intelligent star with money who does not contribute will do no harm. His conscience will remind him during his life that he has not treated his brother actors right and the public will neither forget nor excuse him. He will either be looked upon as an autocrat or a selfish man. Conditions stipulated in the proposition will not suit some of these kind of actors and they will not contribute. Some of those who dislike or envy the writer will not contribute. A shallow mind makes many people do shallow things. Every one of these selfish acts will be a hindrance to the cause of their own obligated charity system and the brotherhood which supports it. They are robbers. He who would rob the dead need not be trusted by the living. If the great majority of actors do not break down the barriers of selfishness that now reign supreme the cause will be lost. If this cause is lost the conditions will grow worse. Out of these conditions two-thirds of the stars, two-thirds of the continuous working performers and two-thirds of the barnstormers must rule in one co-operative effort. In the outcome of the publication on December 5 we will find that only one half of the profession has responded, but I believe the fund will be established and the good work will go on. But we to the traitors! I say this without anything against anybody and without evil intentions. I mean that the coming generation of actors will rise up against those who do not do their share in establishing such precedents as will add to the betterment of our stage conditions. Actors who are buried by collection and those who fall sick depending on strangers is a positive indication of collective cheapness on the part of a race of actors who are continually encouraged and supported by all the people of our country, regardless of prejudices or hatred. Our duty to our fellowman and to ourselves must be supported. I presume the present emergency fund will be established. I expect the indications found in the list that will appear in The Freeman December 5 will be a pleasing surprise. All actors should feel that the fund must be established. The "sinking fund," that will put a check on some selfish actors, is just what it should be. I say that with emphasis. It should pay everybody who works for the actors' cause—but it doesn't. It pays what it has to pay. THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. No sensible actor would expect to have a free set of clerks to take care of his money and be interested in looking out for him in his sickness or at his death. The selfish actor—Mr. Rockefeller?—hates to pay. Other actors pay while he is thinking about it. Is that fair? It is our duty to pay and expect nothing. The charity system must live. Every one of us knows why we must support this charity, no matter whether we ever reap any benefits from it or not. All the world take off their hats to Mr. Actor! Mr. Actor takes off his hat to charity—I suppose, if his heart is right and his belief in himself is anything else but selfishness. Those actors who have been known to appear for big white charitable benefits will be among the largest contributors to a fund for their own race of actors, if nothing prognostic happens now or afterwards. Most any prominent actor of today would smuggle up the facts in the case of an actor who dies in poverty by giving twenty-five or fifty dollars to help bury him rather than have it get to the ears of the public that he was buried by a collection. This has been caused by the public sentiments I have already expressed. What this same actor would pay out to smuggle up the facts and expenses of one funeral would keep his share in the emergency fund paid for two years or more without any extra demands for the sinking fund. Let me ask my brother actors one question: Are we a generation of honorable performers or are we charmed by vipers? You can all reply for yourselves. The world will herald your replies with eagerness on Saturday, December 5, and all the people will know who is honorable or what your constitution is by your decision. Now. Have I said enough? I rather think so. I may say no more. There is hardly anything to add to a sum that has been already added. The sum and substance of the figures will show just what I have solved. The problem is easy but rather vexations to some actors, great or small. This is one solitary reason why one has to preach plain, earthy gospel a thousand years ahead of an excitement and in the midst of it to get any reasonable quantity of rational actors to notice it at all. I have resolved to interrupt those who are too busy to be disturbed. But the remarkable progress of the actors will not be retarded. The way must not be darkened. Everything must be made bright. Extracts of the past week from the "Monarchs of Minstrelsy," Billy Kersands' Own Big Co.: We are now in our second week in the Lone Star state and there has been no relaxation of business. It seems to be one triumphant march, with the word "success" indelibly inscribed at each stop, and the motto of each member of the company, chaperoned by the inimitable and invincible czar of minstrelsy, Billy Kersands, is "Press On." Nothing short of the summit of success will suffice to satisfy this young, ambitions set and it is only a matter of a few short days when the public at large will doff their hats to the premier Negro minstrel company of the world. Well, just to become a little closer we will start from the opening. Cook, Langford, Jones, Smlh, Cameron and Taylor, our end men, each out on his merits, get theirs nightly. Smith sprung a new one last week that made as big a hit with the gang as it did with the audience which was tremendous. Cook, Langford and Jones have the audiences in a state of hysteria from the comical way in which they render their end songs. "Little" Eddie Burton, as the old man of the Alabama Quartette, still tickles them killing that "biggest 'quito I ever saw." Oscar Cameron, also of the Alabama Quartette, has been somewhat indisposed, but has stuck nobly to his post, and is getting his The Houseleys, in their wonderful and magnificently staged musical act, continue to puzzle the audiences with their "tron fiddles" and "diiper handles." Say, Bill, what that music come from? Our balladists, Messrs. Kirkpatrick, Dixon, Wooten and Smith, have been completely overtaxed answering the numerous encores they have been receiving nightly. The band and orchestra continue to be commented upon as the "hottest little aggregation that ever peeped. James Lacy is the leader, that's all. Angelo Houseley wishes the entire profession success and tenders his regards to all. Samuel R. Burns sends regards to the "profesh" and says "Bull Berry, please write." Marsh Craig sends regards to the entire profession; success to all. Mr. and Mrs. Kersands sends regards to Daddy Love and all friends in and out of the profession. We had the pleasure of stopping over in Dallas, Tex., Saturday on our way to Denton, where we visited our old friend, Alfred Stokes, for several seasons cornetist with the Rusco & Holland Co. We were royally entertained by both him and his mother. Alfred jumped to Denton with us to see the show; his verdict follows: "It is the neatest, cleanest and best minstrel show I have ever had the pleasure of seeing." Mr. Stokes remained over night with us and left very reluctantly Sunday at Ft. Worth bound for home, carrying the best wishes of the entire company for his future success.
