THE FREEMAN AND ETHIOPIA SHALL STRETCH FOR HER HAND A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XVII. NUMBER 21. SHIFTING SCENES THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE PASSING SHOW Silent Influences Among Us May Render Race Problem Less Acute and Insure Best to Roosevelt's Interests -The Foxy New York Sun. By Our Special Staff Correspondent. In his eagerness to absorb the luscious bernels of thought contained in our last letter or in a hurry to get through with a painful job) the usually keen eye of the Freeman's intelligent compositor "skipp-" a line in the discussion of the Dockstader episode, thus rendering the conclusion obscure. Permit us to quote enough of the closing thought to make our meaning clear. After describing the Roosevelt-Washington caricature at the capitol in Washington and condemning the outrageous effort of the Democratic schemers to inflame the prejudices of certain classes of whites against Mr. Roosevelt because of his alleged admiration for Negroes, we believed it unwise to unduly exploit the president as "the Negro's candidate" and place further ammunition in the hands of his enemies. We preferred that he be supported as the American candidate, and base our advocacy of his election upon the broad platform he has written and courageously adhered to: "All men up; no man down." Here is what we tried to say, assert the Negro's attitude in the coming campaign: "It is an open question whether zeal of the vociferous kind is well placed, all things considered. It is doubtful if ten Negroes in the country could be bought, persuaded or terrified into voting against the president. Little missionary effort will be needed among them. So, beyond the usual precautions to see that every voter is kept informed of the issues and progress of the campaign, and gotten to the polls on election day, we may easily ask ourselves if it will not injure to the polls both the race and the ticket to keep the Panama canal in the background, and talk valuably—if we talk at all—of the Panama canal, protective tariff, full dinner pails and national greatness." By this we do not mean that our righteous contention for equality of citizenship shall be abandoned, for that the black man's saved cause shall be offered upas a vicarious sacrificed upon the altar of commercialism. We do mean that intensifying race hatred and the malevolent purpose of arraying the stronger classes in a dead line against the weaker can only result in detriment to our interests, and it behooves us to set our heads against playing into the hands of these marplots, who seek to use our well meant enthusiasm for a man of sense, honor and decency to destroy Mr. Roosevelt—to "put him into a hole," as it were by misrepresenting his views upon the abused scare crow issue of "social equality." We mean that the Negro must watch his "p's and q's" during the next five months, for Gorman and his gang imagine there is the determination of a presidency in this overworked race problem, and that the button will be pressed early and often wherever gullible white voters can be influenced. The relation of the Negro to the impending campaign is all the more interesting in view of the New York Sun's analysis of the Negro vote in five or six doubtful states. Showing that Republican control of the black vote is absolutely necessary to insure the success of Mr. Roosevelt. The logic of such a contingency would be that the Democracy to have a show to win would endeavor to divide this Negro vote, and thus take away from their opponents a slice large enough to neutralize it as a deciding factor. But, however, the facts do not bear out any such plan on the part of the Democrats. Outside of New York City, Boston, Chicago and Indianapolis and, perhaps, a little coquery with an independent Negro ticket, the Democrats of late are making no overtures for the Negro vote on appeals to conscience or current issues. When they need Negro votes they try to buy them outright, and dismiss themselves from further obligations. They openly charge the average Negro voter with being corrupt and venal. The purpose of the Sun in pointing to the Negro as the balance of power in the presidential race is thoroughly dishonest. It aims to injure Mr. Roosevelt and to urge the dogs onto the Negro with renewed ferocity. How? By showing that the president, if elected, will owe his retention to the blacks, and he will, therefore, be compelled to cater and be subservient to them from now to the end of his administration, through sentiments of both gratitude and fear. Further, the Sun wishes to emphasize the danger of "Negro domination" in the political affairs of the country. Its theory is that whenever the black man, by an alliance with a white minority, can thus constitute a majority and carry an election—that is, when the Negro can hold the balance of power between the whites and become able to determine who shall be the head of the nation—in the Sun's philosophy that is "Negro domination" of the most pronounced and reprehensible kind. The Sun hopes to alarm the whites to further action against Negro suffrage, and, rather than attempt to divide or buy the Negro vote the program is to hold up the race question with all possible vigor, to frighten enough whites out of the Republican party to make a white majority, arrayed under a supposed banner of "preservation of white supremacy." The New York Sun is a wily animal, and it has not changed a spot on this question since its outrageous and misleading slogan of "no force bill; no Negro domination" helped to stampede enough milk and water Republicans to Cleveland in 1892 to carry several of the party's strongholds in the pivotal states of the North. The game is being shrewdly tried again under a pretense of flattering the Negro, by outlining what terrible things his massive strength can do to the chief executive if he refuses their alightest behest. For this reason we are inculcated to the belief that vociferation should give away to thoughtful silence. We understand Mr. Roosevelt. He understands us, and is not likely to construe our taciturnity into apathy or indifference. When dealing with foxes it is a good, general rule to essay the role of fox yourself. The appointment of Mr. Jerome B. Peterson as consul to Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, is endorsed by the entire Negro race. Mr. Peterson has made a record as a fearless advocate of his people in the press and at the bar, and as a shrewd business man he has no superior in the land. His life has been clean, upright and honorable in all respects, and he is eminently deserving of the honor that has been conferred upon him. The appointment is especially welcome at this time as an offset to the effort in certain quarters to make it appear that the president was afraid to name any more Negroes for responsible places in the public service. Now that a representative colored man goes to Puerto Cabello as United States Consul, the place takes on a degree of importance to our people like unto that of a newly discovered El Dorado. Many inquiries are made as to where it is located, what kind of a country that surrounds it, and how about its climate, inhabitants, commerce and general influence. The soribes who keep encyclopaedias at their elbows are passing around an item which says: "Puerto Cabello is quite a seaport on the Caribbean sea, and one of the shipping ports to Caracas. It is a large city, capital of the Estados Unidos de Venezuela and of the federal district, and was founded by Senor Diego Diego Losada in 1567. It has a population of about 73000. Medium temperature of 21 degrees and a maximum temperature of 28 degrees. It is separated from the sea coast and from its ports of Puerto Cabello and La Guira by the high ridge of the Cerro de Avila, and lies on the western skirt of the plain Chacao, which has a steep slope from north northwest to south southeast. The city is well and regularly built, the streets are wide and well payed, crossing each other at right angles. We have not been informed as to the salary of the consul, but it is probably not less than $2,500 per annum. From these evidences of prosperity sad comfort Brother Peterson's lines seem to have fallen in pleasant places. The manager who follows him on the New York Age will have no small task to keep up the fast pace Mr. Peterson has set for a decade and a half. --- Matthew Stanley Quay is dead. Pennsylvania has lost her best known leader, and the United States Senate is without one of its most potent factors in contemporaneous legislation. Quay was not a great statesman perhaps, measured by the standards of Lincoln, Summer, Stevens, Conkling, Phillips and Roosevelt, but he was undoubtedly the foremost politician of his time. He succeeded when the odds appeared to be over wringly against him. He maintained his premiership for a quarter of a century NEGRO PROFESSORS ONLY PRESS THAT SPINX THINX LIKE YOU. BY JINX. Citizens of the Republic, two centuries of Negro solidarity is looking down upon us, what will we do about it? Just let him atna—Napoleon in Africa. in a state noted for its hosts of thoroughly schooled masters of the craft of politics—many of whom were his superiors in literary culture and oratorical gifts. Even when pupils trained under his own eye used against him the same arts in which he had instructed them they could not unhorse the "old man." It was frequently said that "Quay taught his boys all they knew about politics, but he did not teach them all he knew." The secret of Quay's imperial strength, like that of Mark Hawk and all other magnetic leaders, laid in the fact that he was true to his friend and loyal to his obligations. He kept his word, he dealt squarely. He bound men to him by being frank and honest with him, and being faithful to his promises. Here is again a lesson for the young Negro who would succeed in life's battle. Skullduggery may bring a temporary triumph, but only truth in politics, business or society is eternal. Pennsylvania will have leaders until the end of time—bosses, if you please—but the old Commonwealth will never produce another Matthew Stanley Quay. SHARPS AND FLATS Idleness is a crime. Don't be a criminal. Lawyer Morris, of Chicago, evidently has enough. Ex-Business Manager R. H. W. Leake "got his'n." You can't lose your Uncle Leake! Some interesting observations from Rev. J. M. Henderson would take our minds off of the hot weather about now. It may be that Stanley P. Mitchell aspires to be the William R. Hearst of the presidential situation—minus the barrel. Will the Guardian, Conservator and Bee now play another tune on the old harp by charging Booker Washington with having dictated the appointment of Mr. Peterson? Better schools, better opportunities for home getting, better roads and better police protection are the best arguments to keep the Negroes in the rural districts of the south. Indiana has a great many sins to answer for, but she has never furnished a Negro who imagined that he could really get into a race for the presidency of the United States. We have no use for the unhung scoundrel who wastes our time applying the hammer to people who are trying to do good. Professional "knockers" will please give us a wide berth. The annual "school scandal" is overworked to such a degree that it is a nuisance. It is too often an instrument of the malicious and envious to make changes for the benefit of a favorite. The public school is the foundation of our civilization. Let us see that there are plenty of them and that they teach the most essential branches as many months in the year as our means will permit. Four years of pompous posing for bishopric honors yielded Jay Albert Johnson less than thirty cents worth of delegates. The brethren evidently read The Freeman and kept wise as to who is who. Rev. George Clinton Clement, the new editor of the Star of Zion, announces himself in favor of qualified suffrage, an adequate free school system everywhere and a compulsory education law. Good! A few more free-for-all fights, such as occurred on the River Queen a few nights ago, will give steamboat excursions at Washington a black eye, as far as the patronage of respectable people is concerned. The "manhood" spielers in the national capital have relapsed into a sepulchral sill PRICE FIVE GENTS. SINGLE COPY--SIX MONTHS, $5c; ONE YEAR $1.50. ence since Senator John P. Green made a clean breast of the fact that an appeal for civil rights was useless in the District of Columbia. Despite Editor Watterson's dislike for the "port paragrapher" it is the fellow who can say bright things briefly that is wanted on all of the truly great newspapers. This is the day of the paragraph—not of the two column "leader." Since Mr. Fortune persists in his resignation as president of the Afro-American Council popular sentiment is demanding the return of Bishop Alexander Walters to the chair of that organization. With any other man at the helm the future of the Council is problematical. Ira T. Bryant made a gallant fight for the Sunday School Union, and gave the victor a sharp run for his money. But the best base runner in the world had no show at Chicago against that ministerial combine which constituted a regular stone wall infield. It seems that when expert alienists get together to analyze the motives which actuate William Monroe Trotter to do some of the things he does, the inquest resolves itself into a fine spun dispute over the difference between a lunatic and a tool. Roscoe Simmons is pitching into the "white folks' Negroes" of Alabama and other southern states. They are a detestable lot, and should be routed out bag and baggage as soon as their viperish character is discovered. Seven colored physicians were among the number that took the examinations last month before the state board of medical examiners of West Virginia, and all passed with high marks. Four were from Shaw, CONTINUED ON PAGE 8. THE WEEKLY EVENTS GATHERED FROM ALL PARTS BY OUR CORRESPONDENTS.

The aristocratic proprietor of to-day is ever willing to accommodate any man who appears and conducts himself as a gentleman. The guests of these hotels should have courage enough to protest against such actions toward God and humanity. Coach, Fred Marvel of the Brown team, who stated to the press that "it is about time some action was taken" cannot be too highly praised for his chivalry. It would be a very wise plan if all the combined colleges of the East would support Brown in testing this outrage by law. This very state of injustice should also be brought to vigorous political issues as well. Worcester, Mass, is one large city which has been long in need of a first class hotel.

Mention this Paper The colored waiters never prospered so well as they did during the time the Headwaiter's association was officered by such competent men as W. F. Cozart and W. Alonzo Lock. The above officers established a close relation between the employer and the employee, and insisted that the headwaiters who were members of the association should drill their men and impress upon them the necessity of being competent and deporting themselves gentlemanly in and around the hotel. The by-laws and constitution of the association also forbid any member of the association from selling his men uniforms at exhortant prices, or to foster gambling among his men. The headwaiter was told that the side waiter's interest was his, and that it was absolutely essential that the two work in harmony. Having the above for its foundation the association made a great impression upon the hotel proprietor, and soon turned the tide in the favor of the colored waiter. But under the present administration of the association the above policy has been abandoned, and that portion of the by-laws and constitution which put a muzzle on the dishonest headwaiter and prevented him from robbing the sidemen by the wholesale, has been wiped out. There are now powerful influences at work in the interest of the sidewaiters, hence the great upheaval all over the country. The head and sidewaiters have no champions in the association to labor in their behalf like John B. Golns, W. Alonzo Lock, Frank C. Long, E. T. Montgomery and W. F. Cozart did when they were at the head of the association. Can there be any wonder that the boys are losing ground? Something must be done, and that soon, on the colored waiter will find his days of usefulness will be over. We sound the note of warning and call for volunteers, braye men to fight the battle for the profession. E. W. Harper has opened the International-Cataract Hotel at Niagara Falls, N. Y., and has a well selected crew of waiters. Mr. Harper desires to attend the Headwaiters' Association at Atlantic City, but owing to a convention and banquet he may not be able to do so.

BROADWAY, BROADWAY, BROADWAY Dr. Bolivar THE BEST BOTTLE Bueno Quil ROSENBAUM BROS LOUISVILLE, KY NATIONAL WAITERS' ORGANIZATION. NATIONAL WAITERS' ORGANIZATION. BY A. B. CARTER. I have just returned from an extended visit to St. Louis, Mo., New York and many other important eastern olties, where I have made a most careful study of the conditions and opportunities of waiters, and, as a result of this study, am prompted to write my conclusions as herewith set forth: The Pressing and Indisputable Need of a Waiters' National Organization I hope none who read this will condemn me as advocating strikes or forceful measures to accomplish the reforms so much needed among waiters, especially colored men. I shall take as a basis of this letter the Chicago Cooks' and Walters' strike, and in my next will give all the details of that heroic struggle (which was so injudiciously sacrificed through bad and corrupt management) as seen by me during its crisis, the effect and the ignominious result. In my opinion nothing in the history of the waiters better illustrates the evident and prevailing need of an organization than this strike of five thousand waiters and cooks, which began May 3d, one year ago, and is to-day recorded in the history of hoteldom as one of the bitterest contested struggles among hotel help ever waged for better wages and shorter hours. This strike began with the walkout of all the colored men employed by the H. H. Kohlsaat Bakery and Lunch Room Company, controlling and operating many of the fine 'Quick-lunch-rooms' in the business district of the city. No class of wage earners who aggregate a fourth of the physical strength so universally distributed are without an organization of this kind. The day of individual progress is a thing of the past in the labor world; men possessed of sufficient finance may succeed in business and other enterprising ventures, but men of all classes and all races are seeing the need of co-operation, without which they cannot hope to progress or to succeed; it has become a necessity to all/ thinking people, whether wage earners or millionaires. Such organizations establish better methods of dealing with the labor problems and adjusting the individual member to the commodity market, and of effecting desired changes therein. That such an organization is needed among waiters must be admitted even by the most skeptical person. Such an association among any class of men greatly enlarges man's knowledge of men, their work and ability, insures wise and judicious leadership (a thing the waiters of Chicago never had) in a crisis such as witnessed in that strike, and the result has discouraged men for years to come at strikes. This would not be the object of a national organization; everything could be accomplished in a judicious and diplomatic manner in too many ways to herewith mention, but will treat this matter in subsequent letters. The waiters, like all other crafts and wage earners, should meet in convention for the purpose of discussing the reforms needed and the measures to come by them; the best ways to improve the value of their work, for which they hope to receive better and more remunerative pay. Individualism, as advocated by many narrow-minded leaders, means poor and insufficient pay for the majority of those who have families dependent upon their day's pay to support them and incidental expenses acorning therefrom. The colored waiter to-day receives universally uniform wages averaging no more than twenty-five dollars per month, while the white men universally receive uniform wages of thirty-five dollars for the same work, and it is not because they are so much better waiters nor so much more proficient, for every one who knows anything of white men as waiters knows they are born thieves of opportunity. You may ask "why is this?" The answer is simple. That hotel men in all parts of the country are thoroughly organized, hold monthly meetings, and once a year they hold national conventions, and at this time all the important points of general interest to their welfare and business are brought up, discussed and decided upon; each returns to his respective home and business with a knowledge of what the other is doing and will do in the future, especially as relates to trouble with their help. Read the convention notes of any of these meetings and you will understand more than I have time and space to set forth. The salary paid to colored waiters is not sufficient or justifiable in view of the high price of living; and, considering the deductions necessary from this salary to maintain decent appearance, one cannot subsist on such poor pay, depending upon charity in the form of "tips" to supply that which they should receive direct from the employer. Every thoughtful waiter to-day recognizes the many changes which are daily taking place in hotel and restaurant business. each change entails more work and more rigid rules. There is no perceptable recognition on the part of the employer that these changes require better men, that men of intelligence must be sought and employed as a necessary part of the hotel machinery, and that they must be well adapted to the requirements of his business. All of this with no additional compensation is not reasonable, yet it is practiced in every part of the country. That an organization of this character is needed universally to restrict the gradual reduction in the estimate of waiters by indiscriminate employment of all who desire to enter upon the work is another feature claiming serious attention by all who followed the work and have become proficient to any appreciable degree. Such employment greatly reflects discredit upon the ability and character of the men of the profession. I hope none who read this will think that I mean to combine physical strength to force demands for higher pay. On the contrary, I wish, by this combine, to eliminate those unworthy, and who are to-day a detriment to the more progressive and foster only the interest of the worthy There is a feature regarding waiter's national organizations which I hope to impress upon the mind of all who give this subject serious thought. The Head and Second and Sidewaiters' National Association recently organized under the leadership of Mr. F. P. Thompson, the president, is worthy of the most abiding confidence as an organization for the betterment of all who follow a waiter's work. Men cannot hope to succeed in any line of work without the co-operation and the good office of those whom they serve as leaders. If the employer is informed that "I can get good men for less than that demanded" he is sure to give the man having made this statement a trial. In most cases to day the fault of small wages being paid to waiters is due entirely to the desire of incompetent men to secure the position at a compromise both to the position and to the interest of those who are employed. Very recently I called at one of the large temporary World's Fair hotels at St. Louis, Mo., and found that a young man was in charge of the dining room, and at the request of the manager he was having the dining room scrubbed by the waiters, and others were washing windows in the office of the building the hotel office. This is only mentioned to prove the many compromises which are the result of incompetent leadership The man in question did not remain two days, the manager found him incompetent and the third day he was dismissed. The waiters are still scrubbing the floors, as the precedent set by the incompetent man was not broken by the man who followed him. The main trouble among colored waiters is that they are individuals in all they do, and are not co-operative in any action. The only remedy for such evils as pointed out is to ask the headwaiter to request the manager to employ "scrub girls" for such work There can be no harm in such a request, and you would be more respected thereafter for your actions. The headwaiter is often too weak-kneed to say to the manager, "my men won't scrub." for fear of your willingness to do it after he has said you would not. After forming by representation a national organization, the next object would be to make it permanent. I mean by this to so fix it in the minds of men that they would fully appreciate the moral advantage and not the physical, and make it lasting in its effect, which is the primary move to insure success. In this particular there are many fundamental principles. Among the number I will mention a few when forming laws for the government of such bodies: First. It must be absolutely free from the taint of political influences, which cannot be too closely guarded by all for the safety of the membership. Political aspirations among those selected as leaders in local organizations of this character has too often proven an incentive that has prostrated many another wise and successful movement among waiters to better their condition by better understanding their needs and their work. Therefore the selection of men to fill the executive offices of the organization is the most important matter claiming the attention of the organizers and those who in other ways promote and support the progress and welfare of the order. Second. As a child is dependent upon its parents until a certain stage of mental activity and physical growth, so are such societies confessedly dependent upon the co-operation of all waiters for financial support and unrelenting interest until it reaches that state of physical supremacy, that a small monthly fee will support the expenditures and incidental expenses of the society. Third. Every member should make himself interesting in the welfare and progress of the order local, and keep ceaselessly vigilant to secure new membership; but he should be also equally discreet as to whom he approaches on the subject, if you hope to foster only the best interest of the society.

From the “very beginning those who well know the effect of an ‘Appeal to race prejadice have sought to bring sympathy to the Russian bear throngh their pretended fear of the “yellow peril.” Reduced to its simplest form this fear is only the dread that the Mongolian may be able to dictate the terms on which other peoples may con- duct business within thelr borders.

THE “YELLOW DOG PARTISAN.” Ex-Attorney General W. A. Ketcham In Decoration Day Address Gives Note of Warning. (Excerpt from Address.) “War is an evil to be shunned, but there are other evils greater than war. In war the bolder virtues of courage and Patriotism forge to the front, while those milder ones of economy, honesty and integrity do not attract so mueb attention, but when the days of peace return these again come prominently to the front, and there is a danger lurking in this country lest, in our haste to ac: cumulate wealth, we may be overlook- ing those essential elements without which no nation can endure. ““Htérnal vigilance is the price of Hberty,” now as ever, and if we are to keep alive the flames of civil liberty and transmit to posterity unimpaired the heritage that we have recelved, there is burden that rests upon us ail, to see that no breach is made in the wall, and this duty rests especially upon the younger generation, the active and the ‘vigorous in public affairs “Onr days of battle are over, our numbers are few and our influence but scant to stem the tide of corruption that always stands as a menace, not indeed beating at the door and threatening with violence to enter the sacred pre cinets, but silently, insiduously, creep- ing in velvet slippers, with notselest footeteps into the heart of the temple, and it ts only by ceaseless effort and untiring vigilance that this foe to the life of the nation is to be folled. We have stood aghast at the stories of Tam: many Hall, of Philadelphia and its rings of Chicago and its corruption, of Cin: oinnat!, St. Louis aad Minneapolis, and ‘have rested secure in the belief that we at least are safe trom the menace that we have ceen and deplored elsewhere: but there 1s no limitation of locality ir corruption, the grafter only wants thé opportunity to ply his nefarious trade “I have no fear that the flag will b dishonored in Porto Rico or the Philip pines. There be too many and too tras men on guard for that; but I fear, | fear that nearer home there be those o dusky skins and little influence, whos rigats, whose liberties, are in danger: and I fear, I fear that in our local mat ters the greed of gain and of power may weaken, if not debauch, the higt sense of honor that must exist in the public affairs of a free people.” THE GREAT DVORAK DEAD- Pan Antonin Dvorak, our greatest musical friend from far across the cea isdead. Dr. Dvorak was born at Neah ozares, Knelhaser, Bohemia He came from humble parentage and began t compose music early. Strange as it may seem, in thet far away clime, he had a longing for the music given bj God to the slaves to be heard ever here: after, sacred to the memory of His ob- Uteration of slavery. So Dvorak com: posed the “Slavonic Dances,” which later attracted the entire world. After they had created @ furore in London, Parls, Berlin and Vienna; Theodore Thomas brought them ont in 1879 in New York with eqnal success. Mrs, Jeanette M. Thurber, president of the National Conservatory of Music in New York, hearing of the great composer's ability, secured for him the position as director of the conservatory at a salary of $15 000 per year, guaranteed for three years. He had not been in America long before he was naturally impressed with the music of his former liking— the Negro melodies and camp meeting tunes Upon the fall strength of his convictions ke announced boldly to the world that the slave songs were the folk songs of America. He asserted that the music of the Negroes was America’s original music. This fell upon the ears of the American white people like a heavy clap of thunder. It Was trath by assertion, There are those In Amerlea who do not like to hear the truth about the original Amer- ican muste, and that is why the votce of @ foreigner with superior musical knowledge resounded, His word was law and gospel in the conservatory and all the high grade elngers of the Amer- fean opera company were under bis tuition. Ont of respect for the great composer's worth and wishes the Na tional Conservatory of Music in New York was thrown open by Mre, Thar: ber free for Instructions to colored peo: ple. ‘This was a trinmph for the cons and daughters of slavery and a victory for Negro race achievements. Among ‘those who received Hberal education in the National Conservatory are Harry Burleigh, Theodore Drary, Deeseria Plato and Margaret Scott. There were others, bat these epectal four bear s record as follows: Harry Barlelgh, primo baritone, was not only heard as a soloist In one of New York's richest churches, but he appeared with Herr Anton Setdl’s great orchestra just be- fore tne noted conductor's death. He falgo led the orchestra for Williams and ‘Walker's first scarring tour. Theodore Drary, the well-known bar- itone tenor, has sung the title role in many oratorios and operas. His great- est roles have been in ‘‘Fanst,” “\Car- men” and “Alda.” Mme. Deseria Plato, prima donna contralto, once took the role of “Carmen” to Drars’s “Don Jose” in the opera “Carmen.” Miss Margaret Scott, popular in New York from girlhood, has appeared in oratorio, but her greatest encces-es were her high class solos in Jobn W. I-ham's “Oriental America” aud in B F. Keith's clrcult ot theaters. Ia “Ortental Amer- iea” Miss Scott took a Position that Black Patti had been offered at a salary of $250 per week and refused to accept At the expiration of three Years Dr. Dvorak, with his snug little fortane. returned to his native land.

Whatever the flarry it was wisdom from on high that sent him home all blazing with glory and sweet assnrance that his dootrines would live and linger very long. It was the trae mission of a remarkable man whose worth was beyond hie value in appreciation, and whose tolls had estab- lisned the folk-lore music, knowingly, to America, HIS LIVING DEATH, Dr. Dyorak’s life was a living life and hus death will be a living death. One newspaper quotes that when his sym- phony “Slavonic Dances” was first pro duced in New York it gained a splendid Popularity. Even those who had no critical knowledge of music caught the flavor of American mustoal suggestion which was in it, while the critics were unbounded in their praise of its master: ly composition, He believed and insisted that the Negro melodies were the real folk ma: sic of this country and muet form th Teal foundation for any serious and original echool of composition hereafter. So with that verdict we Americans o} every race extraction are to cluster to: gether and make the best of what the greatest mustoal instructor of moderz Umes has tanght us. In his teachings we can all look back with pride to slavery—slavery’s musi —an : the price the slaves paid to have thelr sweet echoes of agony, which touch every sonl, re-echoed back t home by Him from abroad, and exclain “bravo” to the Great Dvorak in life “bravo” to him in death; for thongt he be dead, his death is@ new life t his musical greatness and a living deatt forever. Stepping now to a lower grade o ‘Negro catchy music; what # promise o: encouragement he has set Rosamonc Johnson, Sidney Perrin, Shepard Ed monds and others of the folk-love rac of American song writers. Will Marion Cook has already aptly ventured on the more advanced theor} of Dvorak, and Will© Accore, whos work was giving the most promise o the two, was only cnt ehort by death. ‘These examples of the greater achieve ments of Negro music, to be classically dealt’ with, and now mastered by S Coleridge Taylor of England, is of the greatest importance in view of racial opera. The pace, the foreign prince o! muelo, the great master of tone Dvorak has set, must remain in the mind’s ey: sight of every colored musician’s mem. ory as long 88 earthly time in this coun try sball last. ‘None but those stars of the New York conservatory who have seen the grea master can fally feel the glad pangs o! joy and corrow herein deserlbed of th most wonderful man of America’s ma: sical history. While Imust jastly say that his name and works will ever live endearingly tr the hearts of the best white people ot Amertoa; if 1t were poselble the Afro American musiclans alone could flood his grave with tears. We will say, then, that Dvorak’s life was one sweet eesence of musical breath. And his death— what a living death ! Copies of The Freeman can be found at 1230 Wylie Ave., Pittsburg, Pa.

Noes from Sells and Downs Shows—We are giving the biggest satisfaction with our vanderville company. We are singing the following songs with much success: "Good bye Eliza" sung by Mr. Walter L Rector our clever and gentle manly stage manager puts the audience in pleasant mood to receive our program: "Moon" sung by Mrs. Ed Fulbright never falls to please, "Show the white of your eyes" by Mr. Geo. Beckon is still a winner, as is also "Any rage" sung by Mr. Beckom. Mr. Ed Williams makes at each performance a pronounced hit by his original composition, "Darktown Squabble." Mr. Ed Fulbright sing "You are always behind, like an old cow's tail." Miss Estie Williams gave our program a "hot finish" by a most excellent rendition of "Look into your baby's face." Mr. Wolfcales has secured for this show a company he can well be proud of. Notes from Gem Theater, Fernandina, Fla.—Jno. W. Demis writes, we are still holding our own, and the ghost every Monday morning.

T. everybody is well. L. McDanuel, trick bicycle rider with daring feats in tramp makeup on parade causes the people to follow in droves to the cars, then these two large yellow cars and Pullman and one baggage car makes them anxious to see the show. Miss Leana Winsley and Mr. Napoleon Black joined us in Muskogee. G. B. Brooks joined at same place. Papers speak daily of our show. Our first part opens with a medley of songs after which Perry Black sings "Malinda's rag time ball." Napoleon Black sings, "In the valley of Kentucky," H. S. Smith sings, "I got a feeling for you" and "Chicken," then E. J. Looney sings, "When the blue skies turn to gold," then our intercolutor Mr. Chase. Rue excuses Mr. Black and Smith and introduces J. Wise and Chas. H. Williams. Mr. Wise sings, "Good boy Eliza Jane," then comes Angustus Stevens, female impersonator, skirt and serpentine dancer one of the best, then Chas. H. Williams sings, "I'm thinking of you babe all the while" and "Sunny Africa." The Aome Quartet then closes the first part. Our ollo is very strong opening with J. Wise, then the Wottes in their singing and talking act which is good, then Clemo Harris that boneless man, then Williams and Stevens in their novelty act a very laughable plot from start to finish entitled, "A partner wanted" which please all classes; then Perry Black in buckdancing to the sextette of ladies and gentlemen singing, "Dusky maiden." The show closes with "Bad Mike from the territory," by H. S. Smith assisted by company. Mr. Tibbs, stage manager, is looking for a new first part outfit. He sends regards to Mr. Hendrix, Louis Love and friends. Prof. McCamon's big concert band is too warm to be fooled with, as they handle nothing but heavy overtures and selections. Will speak of them in next issue. Napoleon Johnson sends the following from Richard and Pringles Georgia Minstrels. After a few more stands in Nebraska, we go into the state of South Dakota. It is needless to say we are making good both financially and socially. As this company has not been over this territory for several seasons, the people are somewhat surprised to find the show so much superior and up to date than in former years. Powell our genial stage manager seems to know how to manage as well as perform for he has the show so arranged that everything goes with a vim and there is not one dull moment or wait during the whole performance. We captivate the audience from the start and hold their attention to the fall of the curtain in after piece. At my home in Lincoln on the 23rd, although we were handicapped for time, yet I did my best to make it pleasant for the boys. In the afternoon we were invited out to Miss Lula Johnson where we spent an hour in social chat and songs during which time Mr. Johnson a graduate from Wilberforce University rendered a very fine piano solo and also presided at the piano during the evening. After partaking of a light lunch we departed to my home, where a five o'clock dinner was in store for us, with my sister, Mrs Mary L. Williams as hostess. After the show that night we were entertained by the Social Hour Pastime club. Mr. Frank Clermont would like to hear from a No. 1 cornet player write him as per route. Since leaving Denver, Col. Frank Caskry has been bothered with rheumatism, and at this writing is not able to leave the car, we all hope for him a speedy recovery. F. L Denton sends regards to the Kersands Co. and says he would like to hear from all of them. As a proof that the company is pleasing press as well as public the following is a clipping from Nebraska State Journal at Lincoln date May 24: "As a rule Manager Zehrung gives us three good mistrel shows during the season—one in the beginning, one in the middle and a third one near the close. Number three was on deck at the Oliver last evening in the shape of Richard and Pringle's Georgia mistrels. This organization has been here in previous seasons. To their credit it be said, they have improved from year to year. The combination of this season is stronger numerically, lyrically and humorously than any of its predecessors. "The "menu" as the program called it, is the usual mixture of song and end men jokes. Manzy and Bunk Campbell, P. Bartlett and Clarence Powell are warm numbers. Napoleon Johnson sometime of Lincoln and now a tenor of national fame in the minstrel world received cordial recognition. The vandeville of the second part is equally meritorious with enough variety to please every taste and keep things moving along in lively fashion. The Policy Players' winds up an entertainment that all can enjoy without being bored." "J. H. T." Billy Young of old minstrel fame is working the extreme end opposite Powell and to say he is making more than good would be putting it mild. He sends regards to all friends and says write. P. B R. Hendrix's Chicago Ill. notes —Lash Gideon is in the city, and paid the headquarters a call. Will Green is still holding his own. Sends regards to his many friends. Williams and Stevens report wonderful success. Mr. Williams has composed and written a play, starring his partner Gus Stevens, and himself. More will be said later, giving full particulars. A good manager with money can get these two money getters by addressing them in care of The Freeman. Joe Catlin sends his regards to his friends. Mr. Fred Carey feels proud of the success he made of the benefit to Mrs. J. L. Love, and extends his extreme thanks and best wishes to all who so kindly offered their services to make it such. The Acellan Quartet is kept busy filling engagements, in and around the city. Our friend Ed Tolliver met with a severe accident between Alliance, Neb. and Crawford by a collision. At the time he was in the kitchen with a cook, and a boiling pot of grease flew in his face and on his hands, scalding him badly. He is improving slowly. He wishes to be remembered to all his professional friends. Chicago is to have a new vaudeville and play house, to be known as, "The Little Pekin," at 27th and State, at a cost of $15,000. From the plans that are drawn, it will be one of the most magnificent play houses in the city. Everything that will be in the interior will be neat and gandy. The exterior is of press brick. It is opened by first class talent. The owner and proprietor of this beautiful place, is our honorable representative and business man, Robert Motts. Mr. Motts is well known in the city, as well as state and who was successful in defeating and causing the downfall of Atty. Edward H. Morris. Will have more to say about "The Little Pekin" later on. William Thomas of that popular team Caldwell and Thomas, is again able to return to the stage. Regards to all friends. Don't forget that Louis (Baby) Love is filling contracts for some of the best managers of the East, as well as West. He is awaiting all kinds of performers, who want good money with good companies to write him in care of his headquarters, 2702 State St. Wm. Gregg sends his regards to all friends. I had occasion to hear one of the professional men condemning The Freeman in the headquarters, claiming that they can't get what they pay for, or what they want. Now I want to say to all of you, if you are willing to pay the price for your advertising and not look for free doings, you would not complain. It is always the cheap performer who wants the earth. You will go and pay a white man the price, and be afraid to open your mouth, but you will condemn a good paper and its owners. Hugh Hancock is in the city for a few days only. He is the manager of Turtle George. He has been with the Dixie Carnival Co. touring the Western circuit through California and Colorado, etc., meeting with grand success. Regards to J. D. Howard of The Freeman and all friends. A FRIENDLY TRIBUTE TO the Memory of James Love of Chicago. Chicago is not the Chicago it was one year ago, when big hearted whole souled James (Daddy) Love was alive, full of hope and ambition, scattering seeds of kindness everywhere, and making life to the aspiring youth rosette with his earnestness and sincerity. Chicago seems desolate a deserted disenchanted city to what it seemed one year ago. The boys who have looked to him every morning for counsel and advice seem to wear a look of sadness on their brows, and the music they play and the songs they sing seem to lack the melody and sweetness of yore, and it appears that life hangs drearily on as they saunter about parks, or cluster about the hotels, barber shops and cafe's. Much in truth is greatly emphasized in the fact that James (Daddy) Love is dead. Who, of all the citizens now numbered with those gone to their resting place, crossed the great divide, are missed as James Love is missed? Who more than he subscribed themselves to the manifest destinies of the young men of Chicago and took individual interest in their personal affairs? Who had a more kindly greeting for strangers, and who could appreciate more than he the sad disappointments and worries of his friends? Daddy was always mixed up with the successes of the musical and theatrical affairs of the race in Chicago. For wherever his name appeared whether at the top or at the bottom, success was assured. The people loved him and believed in him. He had played and sung himself into the hearts of Chicago's best white as well as colored citizens. Many young theatrical recruit has gained the ears of the public merely because Daddy Love was behind him. His honorable career gave him vast significance, and he made himself a factor in determining the value of his satellites. He was himself a star of the first magnitude. Though still a young man, he was heavy with age in the profession, and a veritable professor to whom young Chicagoans look for the cue. Quinn chapel had never been taxed to its fullest capacity only once before in ten years and that was when Dr. Booker T. Washington spoke in it. When Daddy Love's body lay in state at the great church, people from all parts of Chicago were seen going to view him and pay their last respect to his memory. Hundreds of musicians actors and actresses mingled their sad melody in the cadent songs he so much loved to sing. There were tears in nearly every part of the grand edifice, tender women fainted or melted in tears and strong men wept. There were carrages of flowers of every costly variety, wreathed in every garlandry of the florists knowledge of design. It seemed that Chicago in agony was bursting with the emotion of the occasion and was weeping its dearest tears. The minister had known him from his earliest days in Chicago and had watched his career, had joined him in the holy wedlock to his dearest of all the good women Mrs. James Love his highly honored widow. Dr. Thomas' eloquence over the blister of one he so much admired, seemed like some far off scene one had either dreamed or read of in some book of phantasy. Reverie took hold of every one it seemed and lost in this splendid hour of sickening sorrow, the holy words from the ministers lips sunk deep in the ears of his attentive listeners and it seemed by the orchestral music and the abundant melody of the gentlemen choir that we were being lifted up and home away on the lovely halo, where we for the moment could forget the anguish and live up the hope so elcquently plotted by the speaker. Boys, Daddy Love is dead, his life in many ways was that of a sage, a seer; he has pointed out the way, blazed the forest, traversed the hitherto untridden solitude and left the impress of his gentus upon its lofty summit. His life was unselfish, and tinged with the nobility of race interests, fastening the spirit of race love in all that pertained to their progress, he has set an example by his life honorably lived that it were well to imitate. Men and women of the future many years hence will know that Daddy Love passed this way. Chicago, Ill., May 28, '04. Wise and Otherwise. Even the political bee has a sting.

A Normal School devoted to the Professional Train- ing of Teachers, furnishing that correlation of academic and industrial education, discipline, professional training and practical skill which will best fit them for teaching. The Institute for Colored Youth with a most valuable history of sixty-six yearsin Philadelphia, Pa., presided over by such distinguished educators of the race as Charles L, Reason, E. D. Bassett and Fanny Jackson Coppin has been reorganized under Prof. Hugh M. Browne to meet what the late Dr. J. L. M. Curry considered the supreme need in the educational work among our people, namely : - » “A professional school which should combine teacher training, industrial training. kindergarten work and where better ideas of home life might be inculcated.”” The school will begin its operations September 1904 at its new site at Cheyney, Pa., about nineteen miles from Philadelphia on the P. W. and B.R.R. The grounds cover 117 acres. The new build- ings and the equipment will be up-to-date. The institute has at present an endowment fund of about $210,000, The proximity of Philadelphia will afford unusual educational ad- vantages. The school is under the management of a Board of Mem- bers of the Society of Friends (Quakers) and is undenominational. The corps of instructors will comprise only teachers of broad training and experience. The school is open to graduates of higher institutions, high schools and persons who have completed work in History, the Sciences, English and Mathematics equivalent to that re- quired in the first three years of a high school course. In addition to the other industrial subjects there will be a practical course on the ‘Useful Applications of Electricity.” Teachers may take either the full or an abridged course.

H, Connell addressed an en- thustastic audience recently at the Corona Industrial College, Uorona, Als. The college brass band made the live- Hest music for the oveasion. Professor Conneill tanght the new born instita- tion that its growth depended entirely ‘upon its own character. He cited many incidents in the growth ot his own ‘Brand school at Normal, Ala., that would benefit the Corona school, which 1s established in connection with that institution. He said: ‘Brass bands, beantifal deosrations and all the letters that your principal may write to boards of education for help will not build an institution. Your good conduct and nothing but your good conduct will ac- complish it.” President Counclll was heartily applauded when he said: “I had rather see this building go down in Ashes and see you go out intelligent, industrious citizsns than see you an ignorant, thriftless people, dwelling in most beautifal palaces.” He also re- ferred tothe “jim crow Negro” and edu- dation as his only suitable remedy. “Politeness is the doorway to success,” ho sald, ‘4t will knock down the most obstinate barriers.” After the lectare Dz. G. W. Shepherd, of Corona, came forward. holding a beantifal silver can- le stick, suitable for five candies, which he presented to Prof. Councill in the name of the mining camps which he sald it represented—Corona, Lockhart, Patton, Coal Valley and Patton June- tion, the location of the school.
