THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XVII. NUMBER 28. SHIFTING SCENES THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE PASSING SHOW PARKER FORCES GOLD STANDARD For Expediency's Sake the Democrats Forced to Accept Judge Parker's Money Question—Hobson's Funny Attempt to Belittle Washington. By Our Special Staff Correspondent. The voice of the national Democracy has spoken, and the resultant of much fury and elamor is Parker and Davis. The New York jurist gave his party a bad quarter of an hour by a telegram declaring his unequivocal adherence to the gold standard, and authorizing the withdrawal of his name from the head of the ticket if his views proved unsatisfactory to the majority of the convention. That body, though strongly tinctured with silver, was forced for expediency's sake to swallow Parker, golden capsule and all, and recant its white metal doctrine by the roundabout method of pronouncing the money question irrelevant in this campaign. Judge Parker's "defi" to Bryanism and the threatened return of the crown was a coup that has no parallel for boldness and arouses a species of admiration that a rare exhibition of nerve always inspires, but mere nerve in declining to lead the forlorn hope that an evasion of the financial issue would have proven is not a convincing argument that a man is better fitted for the presidency than one whose position on monetary standards and everything else is as sound as a gold dollar and as saue in administration as the concentrated essence of common sense and respect for law can make him. Parker and Davis are eminently respectable personally, but the mob behind them is not to be trusted with the reigns of government in a cosmopolitan nation like ours. A party that openly argues for "a white man's government" and whites like a spoiled child for the right to reduce to the condition of serfs one eighth of the country's population is not broad enough or big enough to rule justly in matters which affect the liberties and progress of the people and through them, touching the principalists of the republic. A party which fails to make its attitude clear upon vital problems and attempts to ride into power upon so detestable a steed as race prejudice and by catering to the lowest instincts of mankind is not the instrument that a great and generous people will choose to administer their affairs. The Democratic party is a sectional party, and its cloven hoof cannot be concealed behind figure-heads of deceency, like Judge Parker and Ex-Senator Davis, who no more accurately represents the Democratic jackass than would Apollo posing as a Satyr. There is no reason in the world why any sensible man would cast a ballot for the St. Louis milt combination in preference to those true and tried exemplars of all that is loftiest in American citizenship and national development, Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Naval Officer ichmond Pearson Hobson overshot the mark by a very wide margin in a speech before the convention in which he tried to apply the rod of both misrepresentation and intimidation to Booker T. Washington. This precocious Alabama youngster has been vainly endeavoring for a number of years to get into the limelight, and his efforts invariably bring down upon his muzzle head nothing but a shower of ridicule. To win a few cheap plaudits from the cheaper gallery gods at St Louis, Hobson made a spurious plea for a "write supremacy" which no one disputes as to money, numbers and influence, and attributed to Dr. Washington in utterance in advocacy of mixed schools and churches in the South—a subject that the Tuskegee did not touch in the remotest form before the N E. at St Louis, and touching a condition by the way, no Negro in that section either wishes or expects. Without discussing the ab urdu pro or con Dr. Washington very emphatically and correctly denies that he made any such statement as Hobson imputes to him for the intent to embarrass his uniliting work for the N gro masses in the Suth is plainly evident. The soobs of Hobson's class are not pleased with Dr. Washington's healthy growth, and would be glad to him unhoused if thereby the ambitious Negro could be checked and a back handed handed bloom administered to Pepsi- dent Roosevelt, who has mortally offended them by refusing to close the door of hope against character and capacity even when these qualities come garbed in dusky hues. "White supremacy" is not a stake, and those who attempt to fire the southern heart by such nonsense do a great injustice to the thrilty, helpful and unobstrucive black men who are building up the land of Dixie, and they also fouly misrepresent the chivalrous upper classes of the South who understand the moral and economic value of Dr. Washington's work, and who will heartily sustain him in spite of all the lies that the Hobosites can invent from now "until the cows come home." The rash sinker of the Merri-mac and professional lady kisser badly overplayed his hand in jumping on Booker Washington at St. Louis for what everybody knows the "Wizard" did not say. Grover Cleveland emerges from the Democratic strife of the past few months in very satisfactory shape, and squately on his feet. We should have entertained for him a deeper sense of admiration and respect, however, had he refused to notice the charges of a few unhung rebels that he favored mixed schools during his term as governor of New York and that he invited Frederick Douglass and C. H. J. Taylor to certain social functions at the White House. Whether he did or not is his one's business except his own, and he should have gotten on his old fashioned "high horse" and told his critics so. He has earned a secure place in the temple of fame and the displeasure of a handful of conscienceeless Bourbons should not worry him. We hope the possibility of again being chosen as Democracy's standard bearer did not move him to those vehement denials. We prefer to remember Mr. Cleveland by his broad treatment of us while he was president, and by his earnest pleas for Negro education, delivered in New York and Philadelphia when aid was being asked for our leading schools. In connection with a nice up of Mr. Emmett J. Scott, that breezy and most refreshing quill driver, Mr. W. Milton Lewis, whose "Pencilings" add so much to the literary and news value of The Freeman, pronounced a beautiful anegyric last week upon the much abused, but nevertheless, deserving word "work." His muse could perform no nobler service than sing to the virtues of work. It may be unpopular, as the superficial world takes it, but, in the final analysis, work is the corner-stone of civilization; take it away and the security of the earth's institutions is gone. Why should not "work" stir Mr. Lewis' poetic soul to its depths and move him to paint his ideal in the most glowing terms that fancy could suggest? What word in art, literature, science or mechanics conveys so large a meaning or suggests such gratifying results? Yes, work that is adapted to the taste, to the strength, to the mental capacity and to the individual environment is at once a necessity and a delight, a health giving means a glorious end. Blessed, indeed, is the man who has found his work The World invites him, the sensible applaud him, the unskilled yield to him; happiness trips lightly towards him; success waits upon him. By all means let us join the wise Mr. Lewis in lauding work—the soulful kind that exalts a clod and lifts its devote a up to God—and more than that let us actually do some of it. He who has learned to love his work has found the true philosopher's stone. There is a strong strain of humanity in Dr. H. P. Johnson's personal observations upon the fight waged against him at the Methodist Conferences. Though he did not reach the bishopric on account of the decision to elect no additional "chief pastors" Dr. Johnson can well be pardoned for feeling somewhat elated over his triumphant election for the fourth time as editor of the Christian Recorder. He put his ancient enemies to flight and is stronger today in the church than at any time in the past twelve years. Dr. Johnson is a scholar, a master theologian, and he will give us a better paper this quadrennium than his limited facilities has permitted heretofore The Recorder has a great field for usefulness, and every inch of it will be advantageously covered by Dr. Johnson if he is supported properly, and then let alone. A race is rarely better than the social atmosphere which it breathes. A plan which purifies this atmosphere is of incalculable benefit to any community. The Unitarians have devoted considerable study to the problem of how the Negro may best be uplifted from the vile of the city surrns and have declared in favor of the "social settlement" idea. The mement is a splendid one, and in every city where the DISFRANCHISEMENT EDUCATION. INDUSTRIAL TRAINING. PATIENCE. APPOSITION PRAJUDICE WHAT A NICE BREEZE. OR MY!

The follow Tom Logan, of Louisville, stands close to the head of that intelligent and ever industrious class of actors who combines what is best of the old school with the refining ingredients of the new. He studiously refines from discarding a good idea merely because it is old, and refuses to adopt a senseless fat simply because it is "up to the minute." Though dealing principally in comedy, because it finds a readier sale in the theatrical market. Mr. Logan is a legitimate character actor of no mean ability, ranking with Ernest Hogan in caliber, without imitating him in style. Logan, like his contemporary, Hogan, can assume at will the unoutous drollery of Billy Kersands, Tom Melntosh or Irving Jones and then turn to the other extreme of gentele comedy as delineated by Nat Goodwin, Raymond Hitchcock, Francis Wilson or John Drew; treating each with an originality that stamps him as an artist in his own right. Logan is a song writer not unknown to fame, and he has composed a pretty voluminous batch of popular lyrics, some of which have been published and others awaiting a convenient season. His keen observation and knowledge of the current appetite afford him an abundance of material for the topics handled in his songs. Not long ago we had the pleasure of being Mr. Logan's guest, sharing the bountiful hospitality of his city apartments, and later being given the rare privilege of attending an evening performance of Mr. Logan's vaudeville company at Ninaweb park where we had an opportunity to see the man and his work at close range. Logan is stage manager at this beautiful South Louisville summer resort and it is "up to him" to open the house and to an entirely new pr gram on Monday each week during the season, and it goes with the saying that he "makes good" He is rigid and exacting, and his personality is conspicuously in evidence throughout (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2) Musical Recital.

PROMINENT EDUCATORS PRESENT Great Enthusiasm Manifested-Largest Meeting Ever Held-A Grand Reception and Many Honors Bestowed- Tuskegee Complimented Highly. Principal Washington's address before the National Educational Association at St. Louis, Thursday, June 30th, was the occasion of a notable demonstration on the part of the thousands of educators who had filled the hall to overflowing. The meetings of the association were held on the inside of the World's Fair grounds, in Festival Hall, where all the important meetings during the World's Fair season will be held. With one accord the St. Louis newspapers agree in the statement that no person scheduled to speak before the National Educational Association had even partially filled the hall during any of its sessions, but upon this occasion not only was every seat in the auditorium of the hall taken, but the ales and galleries were crowded as well. It was an audience of which any man might well be proud. Seated upon the platform along with Principal Washington and President John W Cook and Secretary Irwin Sheppard were National Commissioner of Education. Dr. W. T. Harris, Dr. William R. Harper, president of the University of Chicago, President Charles W. Ellot of Harvard University, besides not less than one hundred of the most prominent educators of the country. Sandwiched between these were Chinese, Japanese, small party of Filipinos (educated representatives of their people), an educator from Finland, besides a small party of colored men, who accompanied Principal Washington to the grounds. In this party were Hon. J. C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn., Arthur D. Langston, principal of the Dumas School, St. Louis, Hon. Charles W. Anderson of New York and Mr. Washington's two sons, Davidson and Booker, and Mr. Scott his secretary. Seldom has Mr. Washington spoken more acceptably than on this occasion. He was in splendid voice, his well modulated sentences reaching every corner of the splendidly arranged hall. He was closely followed, and received at the conclusion of the address an ovation of overshadowing proportions. The immense audience arose to its feet and for quite fifteen minutes cheered vigorously, calling Mr. Washington to his feet not less than four times to acknowledge the plaudits showered upon him. The address itself was a model in substance and delivery and calculated to win the attention and approval of thoughtful men and women. We are unable to publish a full report of the address. All of the St. Louis newspapers referred to the enthusiasm of this particular meeting, and mentioned the fact that not less than four or five hundred colored persons alone paid the membership fee of $290 required by the National Educational Association, so as to have the privilege of listening to Mr. Washington. This, too, in spite of the fact that they had already paid the general admission of fifty cents to the World's Fair grounds. It seems to us that we have reason for pardonable pride in bringing to the attention of our readers the splendid reception and honors accorded by the National Educational Association on this occasion. No hope, nor expectation, of the friends of Tuskegee and Principal Washington was disappointed. The address, we are sure, will long be remembered by those who heard it—Tuskegee Student. ```markdown ``` This wonderful hair pomade is the only safe preparation in the world that makes kinky or oily hair shine.

The Publisher of The Freeman desires to appeal to the country at large asking them to take an interest in The Indianapolis Freeman, as The Indianapolis Freeman takes interest in them. We are doing all in our power for the uplift of the entire race, having able correspondents throughout the country and strong editorial writers whose sole aim is for the betterment of the race. In so much then as we are doing all we can in your interest, we feel that in turn you should do all you can to aid us in fighting our battles. The Freeman now enjoys the distinction of having the largest circulation in the world of any Negro publication, but even at this rate, we are desirous of increasing our circulation until we have an actual bona fide galley subscription of 100,000 readers. We cannot do this without your assistance, however, and for this reason we make this appeal. During the month of July and until Aug. 15, The Freeman will be sent to any address for one year for $1. Now to all persons young or old, men or women, boys or girls, who will send us in yearly subscribers at this rate during this time, we will give $1 to them for every five cash subscriptions sent in. Thus if they secure five subscribers for us they make $1: if they obtain ten subscribers they make $2, etc. To an active, hustling person this proposition will mean much, as they can make for themselves four or five dollars a day. To our five hundred and more agents we desire to appeal also asking them to take up the work along this line. To them we will make the same offer. We desire you to send in all news items of Interest to the race, and we will give same our prompt attention. Can always insert items if you will have notes reach this office not later than Tuesdays of each week. Make your items consoise so that we will have space sufficient to accommodate them all. We trust that you will rally to our support at this time and are sure that your gain will fully compensate you for all effort put forth. --- THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.

Logan's methods are entirely legitimate, his wit clean and wholesome and his working parts well chosen to display his versatility. The company's program is adroitly balanced to please both those who fancy the Negro in plantation garb and those who like to see him do the 'swell' or "straight" work. Tom Logan in the varied roles of legitimate actor, grotesque comedian, dramatist, song-writer, manager and producer is equally painstaking and loyal to the demands of art. The stage is elevated by the scholars who devote themselves to its betterment, and by the women who bring to it the sterling virtues of home and society. When you go to Louisville, look Tom up. He has flattering offers from "Black Patti's Troubadours," the "Smart Set" and other reputable contributions to travel but the Kentucky metropolis is loth to part with him. Louisville would not seem quite like Louisville with Tom Logan away. Herbert A. Clark and his colored Democratic cohorts were in the throng at St. Louis, but they looked lonesome Sixteen years ago an honest division of the Negro vote offered some hope of taking the race question out of politics but the Democratrs themselves failed to grasp the opportunity to gain Negro converts, and the breach is wider than ever before. The Democratic party has no room for black men. Mr. Clark is pursuing the skeleton of an ancient dream. SHARPS AND FLATS While the white corporations are building inter-oceanic railroads, spanning great rivers, tunneling mountains, building Panama canal, enlarging the merchant marine, perfecting wireless telegraphy and constructing perpetual empires, abounding in wealth culture and material progress, the Negro is cudgeling his brains to set up a new brand of a lodge that will take care of the sick and bury the dead. Is it any wonder that we lag in the rear when our chief work in the battle-field is to cart away the wounded and sing psalms over the dead. Let us learn to live. Bethel Literary and Historical Association at Washington has secured a most excellent president in the person of Mr. L. G. Gregory, a rising young attorney. He is a parlementarian, a scholar and a gentleman and will restore the organization to the lofty plane of dignified discussion and fair play intended by Founder Daniel A. Payne. It is understood that the saving influence of prof. W. H Richards was potent in the selection of Mr. Gregory. Booker Washington gives out a valuable hint to our people when he says: "See to it that no one can tell by the size of a house or by its outward appearance whether a white man or a black man lives in it. A forlorn, dilapidated and disney row of houses should not be distinguishable as a Negro neighborhood." If landlords won't rent you a decent house, as is often the case, buy a home of your own. Our women are taking up the law with commendable aptitude. Following Mrs. Salle J. S. White, who graduated from the Central Law School, Louisville, Ky., comes Mrs. Eva B. Heath, who finishes at Howard University. Since the dear women have been "laying down the law" from time immortal in a private way why should not they now take it up it a public way? Editor S. B. Davis, the veteran founder of the Attens Clipper, is dead. He was Georgia's first colored printer, and so lived that all the people of his community join in the sorrow occasioned by his demise. Mr. Davis was one of the most regular visitors to the Tuskegee Farmers' Conferences and an ardent patron of industrial training for the Negro masses. Our opportunities for investing money are being widened every day. A branch stock brokerage office of the firm of John McOrea & Co., has been opened in New York, and a special bid is made for the patronage of colored men of means. We can be 'bloated bondholders' just like the "all street fellows, if we put up the "dough." This awful race problem threatens to keep a great many of our white Christian friends out of heaven. Four general conferences of as many different denominations have been wrestling with the Negro question during the last month, and it was all they could do to prevent the bug-bear from throwing them down. Many of the local Negro Business Leagues are finding that the members derive great encouragement from hearing extracts from the report of the Nashville meeting read at the public sessions. Local secretaries should send to Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee, Ala., and procure a copy of the National report. The faculty and students of the Manassas (Va.) Industrial school express themselves as greatly pleased with the address delivered at the school a few days ago by Prof W. H. Richards, of the law department of Howard University. It was pronounced a practical, profound and scholarly effort. The imperial minister of finance of Russia has offered a valuable prize to the person or persons who will invent some way to make alcohol undrinkable.

Paracamph is recommended as a modern scientific treatment for all rheumatic swellings and neuralgic troubles. It relieves on Nature's plan. That is when applied it opens the pores, penetrates directly to the seat of the allment soothing the inflamed skin, muscles and joints reducing the swelling by removing the congestion, drawing out the fever and inflammation by inducing sweating.

The Presbyterians of the North and South want to unite, but are gagging over the color question. An exclusively Negro Presbyterian Church is the logical outcome of this muddle among Christ's children. We might as well be plain about it. Rollins Green, a graduate of the showmaking department at Tuskegee Institute, has opened a shop for himself at Alken, S. C., and is building up a successful business. The white people do not keep boys of grit from being "somebody." When the preachers find themselves able to reconcile their petty race prejudices with the broad, human and sympathetic spirit of Jesus Christ they will have no further worry over Negro questions in their deliberative bodies. At last accounts the self-respecting Negroes of Richmond, Va., were still walking-staying off of the jim crow street cars. Do not pay your nickels to corporations that humilate you because of your color. The crank who annoyed Gov. Durbin on the occasion of his address at the A. M. E. Conference in Chicago was not Jay Wesley Cromwell. That illustrious repository of reminiscent lore was not there. The senate of Liberia is considering a bill for the regulation of polygamy. It is evident that the white people of America are not to have a monoply of this plural marriage game. Judging from reports it may be well for the colored people who go to the St. Louis Fair to equip themselves with a full dinner-pail and a canteen if they hope to eat or drink. In preferring the success of our party as against another the Negro seems to be swayed more by dangers he wishes to avoid than by rewards he hopes to gain. The most beneficial school for the Negro is that one which adjusts itself most helpfully to social conditions and makes most earnestly for social regeneration.

Thompson, after many weeks' illness, has recovered sufficiently to assume his position here as headwaiter, which he has served with the highest efficiency for the past sixteen consecutive years; his ability to be in evidence is very much to the delight and pleasure of the many friends among the guests and to the great joy of the large force under his command. Mr. Thompson is a man well liked, both by the guest and the men of his crew, and his absence would be keenly felt by all. His re-election as president of the Head, Second and Sidewaiters' Benefit Association in Atlantic City, June 8, 1904, bespeak the esteem in which the organization holds him. Even in his state of impaired health he is very aggressive in endeavoring to further the interest and the success of the organization. Mr. Thompson is supported by the following staff: Wm. I. Budd, second waiter; Robert R. Goode, third waiter; Roland J. Brooks, private waiter; Wm. H. Frazler, charge of grotto; Andrew H. Reid, corresponding secretary; N. N. Simmons, first captain; Ivory M. Barnes, second captain; Robert B. Cannon, hat rack man. The employees of the Hotel Champain, this season, seem to be those of an unusual amount of intelligence and have decided to pass the summer months in something which will redound largely to their credit. Mr. N. N. Simmons, who is scholarizing for the ministry, conducts religious services every Sunday. M. K. Holland and Howard Miller, former president of the St. Marks Lyceum, New York City, and now the recording secretary of the Head, Second and Sidewaiters' Benefit Association, were the prime movers of the organizing of the Young Men's Literary Lyceum in the waiter's quarters of the hotel July 6th.

Simmons, chapain; J. H. B. Matthews, sergeant-atarms. Mr. Howard Miller delivered a very impressive address. After the rendering the evening's program the Lyceum closed to meet again on Wednesday evening. Among those of the old boys who are at the hotel this summer are Wm. Harry Parker of Boston, Shade Carr of Philadelphia, Harry Hale of New York City, John Bass of Philadelphia, Christopher Middleton of New York City, Otto Dorsey of New York City, Clement Scott of New York City and Isaac Simmons. Mr. Isaac Bell is at the Champain Club this season instead of the hotel. A. H. R. Atlantic City News. All the hotels and boarding houses in Atlantic City, N. J., were overflowed on the Fourth of July to the delight of the boys who have long been looking for the "Good Old Summer Time." Beginning on July the first the salary of all the waiters employed in the larger hotels were raised from $20 to $25 per month for July and August. The Chelfonte Hotel, Atlantic City's newest hotel, opened last week, although it is not yet finished. That old veteran, A. Clowers of the old Chelfonte, is in charge of the dining room. I will say more of the above hotel later on. The Chelsea Hotel, located in Chelsea, and the beach front, is doing a good business. Mr. A. J. Woodlyn is again in charge of the dining room.

Mr. Woodlyn is a young and progressive headwaiter and race man. He is also a prominent member of the Caterers' Club of Philadelphia, where he resides. Mr. Woodlyn has an efficient second waiter in the person of Mr. Charles Saunders. Mr. Woodlyn is also fortunate to have Mr. J. T. Butler as his private secretary. Mr. Butler is one of the race's most promising young men, he having graduated from the law and elocation department of Howard University. It can be truthfully said that there are more intelligent and educated watters employed at the Chelsea than any other hotel in the city, conspicuous among the above crew is Mr. Isaac H. Nutter, a student of Howard. Mr. Woodlyn deserves much credit for the crew he employs and for the good example he sets before them, which accounts for their excellent deportment. Mr. Jacob L. Cook, a well-known waiter of Chicago, arrived in the city last week, and is now one of the crew at the Marlborough. Hotel Budget. Mr. Bradshaw is now at the Bristol, Houston, Texas, with a crew of eight men. He says everybody is well. Joe Gibson, chef at the Bristol, says be sure and bring him The Freeman at all times.

Newport News, Va., Special.—The city of Newport News is possibly one of the most interesting small cities of the South to-day. Everything considered, perhaps it is excelled by none, according to the knowledge of the writer. I believe many people in and out of Newport News would like to be informed relative to the progressiveness of our marvelous little city. We shall attempt to write about a few interesting facts from time to time. If you read them you may be able to get an idea of our wonderful little city. Twenty years ago the land now occupied by our handsome little city was a dreary farm or forest. To-day we have a well laid out city, by streets and other conveniences. Our population numbers about 20 000 We have near twenty five city officers, thirty or more efficient physicians, a half dozen or more splendid hotels, several banks, a dozen or more churches of different denominations, six or seven different secret societies, wharves, where are employed three to four thousand men. The Newport News Dry Dock and Ship Building Company employ six or eight thousand men. There is at present six battlesh'ps under construction for Uncle Sam and much repair work. These are some of the things that help to make us what we are. The city election is over, and it is reported that twenty or more Afro-Americans voted the straight Democratic ticket. They say it is intelligence in the future. For my life I cannot see how intelligent men of our noble race can afford to fool with either of the old corrupt parties. It seems to us that the Negro should get together and organize a party on a platform based on fair play and stay there forever. THE LAKE ERIE & WESTERN RAILROAD for Toledo, Detroit, Ft.

PEGLEG DEMOCRACY. Democracy is the grandest word in the political dictionary. It is the word to which all students of government turn "as fondly as does the infant to its mother's breast." It is a word that all peoples love, regardless of the form of government under which they live. It is the word that has been the hope and the rock of all those who have fled from the oppression of kings. It is a word whispered in Russia, spoken in Germany and proclaimed in America, and only proclaimed, for certainly it has not been a realization. When we but consider the lofty sentiment contained in that word we are almost shocked at the thought that it is used as a banner by the political party which bears its name. If one would but know how unworthy this party is of this name, let him think what the word means and then think Tillman and Hill. The effect is a shock. You have suddenly turned the rapidly moving machine in the opposite direction. One of these men, filled with hate and venom, and at the same time professing to hold up the banner of Democracy, whose principle is the equality of human rights, asks rights for himself and would deny those same rights to others, basing both claims on the mere accident of birth. As for Mr. Hill he is the very embodiment of conscienceeless politics and political trickery. His chief aim is to serve plutocracy—not Democracy. This he does despite the fact that Democracy means the people; the safe-garding of the interests of the masses—not the plundering of the masses for the benefit of the few. This is Democracy impure and defiled. This is what you are invited to choose—Pegleg Democracy. TILLMAN The above name is quite familiar to the colored people of this country. They have a decided Impression of the man. If these impressions could be cast into form it would, no doubt, bear a striking resemblance to the devil. This is partly because of what he says, and partly because of the way he says it. We have no doubt that he has some good traits, but they have failed to reach us up to date. Whatever they may be they are completely overshadowed by the venom with which he usually speaks, and the whilwind of wrath which, almost invariably, accompanies it. And now he is again on the warpath because of his fear of "social equality." This is to be the issue with him in the coming campaign. We may not understand the term, but as we do understand it, it has always been a mystery why there should be any such fear. We see no way of its coming to pass without the wish and consent of both peoples, and if they all have this wish we do not see how it is to be prevented. Mr. Tillman's own section of the country shows greater evidences of "mixture" than can be found elsewhere, and if he is so anxious to make social equality impossible and improbable he should teach his people to "shinny on their own side." The race question has become a malady with Tillman. He has a bad case of negrophobia. We are told that as a man thinketh, so is he. This man thinks venom, strife, hate and evil. So is he. The occasional statement by some writers that the time now is when colored people, like every other people, must be held individually responsible for their acts, is a hopeful sign and one that is full of promise for the future. There are few unfair enough who will not admit the injustice of condemning a whole people for the misconduct of a comparatively small number. The absolute wrong of such a course must be THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER apparent to all who give this a moment's consideration. But this is a day of short methods, and people are not much given to worrying about the rights of others. In order to get at the bad ones, why just put all under the ban and thus be spared the trouble of separating the sheep from the goats. By regarding all as goats, those whose sense of justice lies only in the abstract are spared the trouble of thinking, and so make the work both short and easy. But aside from the immorality of this manner of judging, aside from its subjective effects, is the other effect which tends to discourage and depress those whose lives and conduct are above reproach or criticism. If one of the latter should speak to the Negro tough about his misconduct, he at once replies that "we are all alike; we are judged alike, and you are no better than I am." And if we are to judge from the treatment accorded to each, his statement is proven true. But the present tendency toward individual responsibility will certainly do much to relieve the conditions which are a just cause for complaint, and cannot fail to make toward the good of both country and people. Louis F. Post is one of the very few white men who is able to think straight on race questions. Mr. Post is a Democrat whose democracy does not shy to one side when it meets a black man. His democracy means all that the word implies, but, sad to say, his kind is few in number. In The Public he has this to say on the race clause of the St. Louis platform: If a Southern State disfranchises its male Negro population, whether frankly for race reasons or indirectly on grounds of illiteracy or pauperism, that State should not be allowed to estimate this disfranchised Negro population in the basis for its representation in Congress and its numerical power in the Presidential electoral college. To allow it to do that is unfair to States which do not disfranchise. It enables the governing class of the disfranchising State not merely to disfranchise, but in effect to vote in behalf of the disfranchised upon Federal questions. Whether disfranchisement be excusable or not, there is no excuse for giving political power to the disfranchised and then allowing others to exercise that power. When this plank is considered in connection with the plank on American citizenship, there is nothing serious to complain of from the point of view of race rights, for the latter pledges the party "to insist upon the just and lawful protection of our citizens at home and abroad, and to use all proper measures to secure for them, whether native born or naturalized, and without distinction of race or creed, the equal protection of laws and the enjoyment of all rights and privileges open to them under the covenants of our treaties," etc. This may seem like a pledge with reference only to travelers or foreigners abroad, but "the just and lawful protection of our citizens at home and abroad," is a phrase that will not bear that limited interpretation." The Christiansburg Industrial Institute, located at Cambria, Va., whose advertisement appears in this week's paper, is making an extraordinary offer to ten students. This school is supported by Philadelphia Quakers, that sect that has done more, in proportion to their numbers, for Negro education than any other in this country. We understand that an arrangement is made by which ten students each year are given scholarships by which they can get an education without any outlay of cash by them, but it is required that the students shall do a certain amount of work. Indeed the person who is not willing to do some work for his own education, does not deserve it. While pursuing the academic course, the student is at the same time learning a trade, for the school is operated upon the plan of one half time at work and one half time at study. The academic department embraces primary, intermediate, grammar and normal grades, while in the industrial department, cooking, sewing, laundering, millinery and basketry for girls, and argriculture, printing, shoe-mending and carpentry for boys are taught. One of the greatest frauds in this country is the Hon. Richard P. Hobson, whose greatest claim to fame consist in his having wasted a lot of coal and kissing a lot of silly women. He took a prominent part in the recent Democratic convention, and in one of his speeches he said that Washington had been spoiled by his having dined with the President, and that the incident would lead many colored men astray who might, except for such acts, follow useful lives. Of this man, Louis F. Post says—He exhibits a degree of intelligence by no means superior to that of almost any Negro who has had approximately equal educational opportunities. "When humanity suffers corn grows." Don't forget this. It might be expected that Rev. Lyman Abbott would be among those who ask no right for themselves that they are not willing to give to others. But this is not the case. In the Outlook he says the "United States owes it as a duty to the islanders to give them its protection and its aid for a long time to come." This sounds fair enough, but when he proposes that this be done by permanent possession, he discloses the hypocrisy of the plea. Might as well say that we owe it as a duty to our neighbor to keep his pocket-book for fear that he might spend his money in a way to injure himself. Consistency is more than a jewel. It is a diadem. If prices of meats continue to rise it will soon be a good time to put the vegetarian diet into practice. This is the correct diet for civilized peoples, and it is sure to come into practice in a few hundred years or so. The more savage the man or animal the more of a meat eater he is. The cannibal eats the missionary and we eat the ox. Of course the missionary objects to being eaten, and so would the ox if he could. Every human being, after reaching the years of understanding, should become a student, and remain such through life. To be a student is to seek to know. To know is the ever pressing duty of life. It is the most important duty. To know, and to bring our lives into harmony with what we know, is the real purpose of existence. Without this we simply live the life of the animal. Thomas W. Lawson of Boston, Mass., begins a series of articles on the subject of Frenzied Finance in the July number of Everybody's Magazine. All who seek to know something of the social disease in the body politic should read these articles. If Mr. Lawson tells half he promises about alle ed crookedness he will create a sensation. And now comes the report from Sioux City, Iowa, that Prof. Arnett and others want a Negro flag. They say this will solve the race problem. This is about the raggedest solution that has yet been offered. We already have too many solutions that fail to solute. It is barely possible that the report of the existence of an organization of colored men who have sworn to assassinate Tillman and others may have come from the same source as the accusations against Macbeth. His came from a guilty conscience. Be faithful in small things and I will make the ruler over larger ones. This is the law of progress. It is only by doing well the little, every day duties, that we prove ourselves worthy to be entrusted with larger ones. There is seldom a day passes that some small, trivial circumstance does not make us choose between the bloom and the blight. It is because of the littleness of the thing that we more often choose the blight. Of those who read the exchanges, let us ask: Is there not a striking resemblance between the relentless abuse of Washington by the Guardian and the abuse of all colored people by Tillman? Wealth belongs to him who creates it. Wealth is created by applying labor to the things God put here. Those who are thus engaged are producers. All others are servants. Most any of us are great enough to manage the larger things that come to our lives. It is the little things constantly occurring that require a great soul to set them right. Mr. Hill went to St. Louis determined to sit down on Mr. Bryan, and he sat; but it was immediately discovered that Bryan had put that crown of thorns in the chair. We wonder what those Southern delegates to the International Council of Women thought of the honors paid to Mrs. Terrell? The Russians have now received the very sad news that the thirty thousand Japanese were not killed. "Man shall not live by bread alone," but if the price of meat goes much higher he may have to try it. PENCILINGS. By W. Milton Lewis, Indianapolis, Ind. Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett was "made" with that group of ecclesiastics now known in the A. M. E. church history as the "Bie Four," the remaining members of which are Bishops Grant, Gaines and Tanner. It was a famous quadrennium heaving forth four stalwarts of Methodism who yet stand among the foremost princes of that church. It was in the year of 1888, the year of the battling of the giants. The venerable and Godlike Payne was there, whose earnest solicitation for men of piety and circumspection for the Episcopacy be at that grandest of ordinations when he laid on hands, will never be forgotten by the thoughtful of that gathering. It was at Bethel church of this city which, then as now, was under the pastoral guidance of Dr. James M. Townsend, and who by the way was a formidable candidate for Episcopal honors. The candidacy of Dr. Townsend and his defeat was a theme of church debate for many years subsequent to the Conference of '88; he at that time, as I have said before, was immensely popular, the darling of the church and the idol of the people; but he was young in age and in point of service; these things weighed against him. And when the ballots were counted the A BISHOP'S SPECIAL-CAR! WHOOP-PEE!! BISHOP BENJAMIN W. ARNETT. brilliant Townsend had fallen outside the breast works. He took advantage of his popularity, joined the "pagoda" of politics, and, as he puts it, "it's better serve my people;" it put him out of line of church succession, a thing, I think, he very much regrets to this day. His church or the ambitious of his church never quite forgave him for putting aside his clerical robe or thrusting aside the proffered "crown" for any purposes whatever, even for a little while. Men used that argument most effectually when forging past him. It was a most unfortunate affair as it concerns his chances of church preferment. Of that celebrated quartette of bishops all are living; all hale and hearty excepting Bishop Tanner, who looks somewhat emaciated, but it appears that emaciation resulting from too much books. Tanner is the scholar of the bunch: he wears the skull cap and looks the typical sage. I think he loves learning simply for the sake of the thing and not because of the good he might do with it, just like any recluse or hermit whose kingdom is that of book lore. He is the father of the celebrated painter, Tanner. Bishop Arnett is the politician of the Big Four; the honor may be disputed with Grant at times, but never on the score of ability in that line, but activity perhaps, since Grant is a very Trojan in anything he undertakes. Arnett is highly polished, with a scholarly bearing; he has a pair of small, keen, young eyes that does him duty as sentinel and guard. They take in and acquire what his dignity would not permit otherwise to take in. He looks conscious of his ability, moving with great reserve, perhaps playing himself out as the occasion demands, as an Isaac Walton would a bass; in this respect he is unlike Grant who is "fire and tow" on most occasions. Bishop Arnett is of Ohio, where he was reared and schooled. Long ago his State recognized his worth by electing him to the legislature. I believe the first Negro thus honored in that State, and where remedial legislation resulted from his labor. He enjoyed the confidence of the late President McKinley who, it is said, consulted him on policies touching affairs where Negroes were concerned. I think he presented the Bible on which McKinley took his first oath of office on behalf of the A. M. E. church, the donor.

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS INVESTED In Homestake Mine is Now Worth Five Thousand Dollars. $16,000 INVESTED IN LE BOI MINE In Seven Years Brought the Owner Seventy Thousand Dollars—The Northern Star Stock is Full Paid Non-Assessable, Non-Taxable AND NO PERSONAL LIABILITY IMPORTANT—Thomas Hye and Frank Hye, Mining Engineers, Dixie D.

We have organized a base ball club and some of the players show up like professionals. We played the strong Landsdale team last Friday, score, 15 to 15. We have several games scheduled along our route, and expect to win most of them. The Hottest Coon in Dixie company starts their rehearsal in Chicago, Monday July 17, the show this season will be larger than ever. Prof. Henderson Smith and his big band of eleighteen, have been engaged under an enormous salary. Mr. Chas. H. Williams, of the team Williams and Stevens, will stage and handle the show. The scenery used by this company this season cost $1,800. This show will play the Eastern cities, over the Stair and Havlin circuit. Notes of Mahara's Minstrels.—Will open at Elgin, Ill., August 27 and go direct to the Coast. The organization this season will surpass all previous efforts. The company will comprise thirty odd members, headed by three people who are the wonders of the musical age. It is not a three people affair by any means, but will be a crackerjack show throughout with the best talent to be found. Light catchy music and comedy with five big numbers, will be the feature of the entertainment; they will have an equipment that is perfect in every particular, and will give satisfaction to all, and be a credit to the Negro race. Frank Clermont, manager and conductor of Clermont's Big Concert Band, now en route with the Richard and Pringles Famous Georgia Minstrels has in his possession a very nice offer from one of the best circus managers, but says he can't see the canvass show just now, as he is in need of much rest, and contemplates a vacation soon. Some people are wondering if Frank Clermont is engaged for the coming season. Yes he has his contract for the same company. Will be in the employ of Messers Rusco and Holland, if anywhere, musicians will do good to keep Mr. Clermont posted with their permanent addresses. The Negroes of Newport News, Va, now boast of the Columbian Opera House, fully equipped and ready to do business for the season 1904-1905. The managers are now engaged in booking colored shows for the coming season, wide awake managers are urged to write. Newport News employs 4,000 colored men and boys in the shipyards, paying over $22,000 weekly wages. The Columbian Opera House is the only place of amusement, and enjoys an excellent patronage. Colored shows playing the town show to colored audiences exclusively who have been packed in the balconies of the white theaters, which they now refuse to attend. An excellent opportunity is now given to colored shows writing South to play to large houses of their own people. Napoleon Johnson sends the following from the Richard and Pringles Georgia Minstrels. Ere these notes go to press our Canadian tour will be at an end and we will be back in the United States, with pleasant memories of the time spent on the other side of the line. From a social as well as a financial standpoint, everything was as expected. Professionally speaking the most noticeable feature, is the lateness of the performances. The show generally starts any time from 9 to 9:45. In two instances our band played out to the ball game, which was called at 7 p.m. and was not over till nearly one o'clock. "Be sure you're right, then go ahead," from the old adage used by David Crocket. The Von Tilzer quartet can be found daily at the opera house rehearsing new songs to add to our already repretoire of nightly hits. Most of the parts for Cooper's new act has arrived, and he is rehearsing daily to have it in readiness by the time we reach Kansas City. Mo. As our summer season will soon come to a close all the boys are getting ready for the big show. Regards to all. The Whitman Sisters New Orleans Troubadours opened Jefferson Theater, Monday night July 11, to standing room only, benefit boys reformatory of this city. This is the first time in the history of Birmingham Ala., that the colored people have been allowed seats in the dress circle and parquet. Credit is due, however, to the clever management of Mabel Whitman, who can safely say that she is the only colored woman managing her own company and booking them continuously in the leading southern houses. The program was of a high class vaudeville nature, consisting of comedy first part arranged especially to show the genuine comedy of Willie Robinson, the "Little Georgia Blossom", and it was indeed funny. The singing of Tony Jackson was much appreciated, and Baby Alice the child prodigy, stormed the house. Mabel, Essie and Alberta Whitman are decided favorites throughout the Southland, and it would be useless to say that each specialty by these celebrated vocalists made more than good, and was enclosed many times. The choruses, in fact the entire show was good under the musical direction of Albert Carroll, of New Orleans La. We have played all of the leading parks South, and after playing Bessemeer and Ensley, Ala., you will reach us at home, by mail, at 250 Hilliard St., Atlanta, Ga. indefinitely. Albert Carroll sends regards to Tom Logan, Webster Williams, Florence Hines, Russell and Price, Dennis and Jones, Buddie Glenn and Fred Johnson.

Your claims are located in the heart of the great mineral belt of central Idaho. 3rd. In the early days of 61, and extending over a period of several years, there was a rush of gold seekers to this district which equalled the rush to California in the days of 40. It is a matter of record that 125 ounces of gold were taken out of Dixie Camp in a single day. It is estimated that over $75,000,000 were taken out of these placer camps in these early days. 4th. Where ever exploration has been carried on extensively and intelligently, it has resulted in the opening up of ore bodies of great value, as instance at Siegel Creek Camp, and proprietories of the Crooked River Mining Co., on Crooked River and many others. With the advent of capital and experienced mining men, we may look for a brilliant future for this extensive mineral section of central Idaho. 5th. The treatment of the ore is very simple. About 60 per cent of the assay values can be extracted by FREE MILLING PROCESS, the balance up to a total of 94 per cent. can be saved by concentration. 6th There is plenty of water and timber for all purposes on the ground, or within easy reach, and the facilities for cheap mining are excellent. 7th. On the Southern Star a double compartment working shaft 60 feet deep with drifts east and west on the vein shows a 4 foot ledge of solid ore. This shaft is equipped with a hoisting plant and pumping machinery. About 300 feet west of the shaft the ore body is again exposed by two shafts and a tunnel, thereby proving its continuity and extent The ore at these openings have an average width of 4 feet, and appears to be getting wider where the tunnel has cut it at some depth. 8th. From the present appearance of the ledge in the face of the west drift at the main shaft it is evident that ore body is widening in that direction as depth is attained. 9th. During my two years' engagement in superintending the work on the proprieties of the Mammoth and Great Eastern M. and M Co. I have had excellent opportunities for observation of the conditions governing ore deposition in this camp. I have always considered your claims as good as the best, and I will confess that my intention was to add them to our group of claims, which I would have done but for the fact that you secured them before I did; however, since I am honorably defeated I can only congratulate you on having secured such valuable claims, and trust that you and your company meet with continued success. Northern STAR MINING Company 744 Claypool Building, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA. Notwithstanding what many physicians say, heart disease can be cured. Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure has permanently restored to health many thousands who had found no relief in the medicines (allopathic or homeopathic) of regular practicing physicians. It has proved itself unique in the history of medicine, by being so uniformly successful in curing those diseases. Nearly always, one of the first signs of trouble is shortness of breath. Whether it comes as a result of walking or running up stairs, or of other exercises, if the heart is unable to meet this extra demand upon its pumping powers—there is something wrong with it. The very best thing you can do, is to take Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure. It will go to the foundation of the trouble, and make a permanent cure by strengthening and renewing the nerves. "I know that Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure is a great remedy. For a number of years I suffered from shortness of breath, smothering spells, and pains in my chest, and it would be unable to lie on my left side, and if I lay on my back would nearly smother. A friend advised using Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure, which I did not receive until once, and after taking several bottles of the Heart Cure the pains in my side and other symptoms vanished. I am now merely able to tell those dreadful spells are painless in my past." - F. P. DRAKE, Middletown, O. If the first bottle does not help you, the druggist will refund your money.

When写g mention this paper --- THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER RACE'S DISTURBING ELEMENT IGNORANTTREAGERS RELEGAT ED TO THE REAR AT CHICAGO MANY INTERESTING QUESTIONS The Past Conference Did Many Great and Good Things-Many "Strong" Men Still in the Ranks-The Cause of Ira Bryants Defeat. (Special to The Freeman.) Conditions are such that ever increasing importance is to be attached to everything which the race is doing of its own volition and in its own way. There cannot be the faintest suspicion that the A. M. E. General Conference, which met at Chicago, was not entirely racial. It measured up to the standard strictest sort that might be applied by any of the five senses, or by any other means. Those who saw and studied that great gathering saw the religious Negro just exactly as he is when taken as a whole. The religious Negro is, on the average, much ahead in intelligence, moral and force of character when compared with the unleavened mass that knows not of the church and the 'smart set' that soffs at the church. As a religious institution, the A. M. E church has taught her two millions of adherents to hold in reverence the ordinances and sacraments, and to regard the Bible as the word of God and as final and absolute authority on all questions on which it speaks. The church has gained in strength and power because of the more intelligent way in which the people size up and classify the ministers. The old and superstitions reference for the silk hat and straight cut coat is about gone, but in its place has come a deep and intelligent respect for worth and character. This is a great gain and a marked step of progress. There were some individuals among the delegates who said to Dr. Cooper that they wanted to come to Chicago just to "rub up against white folks." They belong to the class which did disgraceful things while at Chicago and who does disgraceful things all of the time. The people do not judge all of the ministry by what it may be learning of the doings of such a group of individuals. Now, that the common people are discriminating in their observations and judgements the better element of the ministry will be able to more effectively assert itself. If a preacher points out a particular individual as a bad man and tells his reasons it will no longer be possible to incense the people against him by falsely accusing him of slandering the race or the church or the ministry, but the people will see the truth and know that he is simply exposing a bad individual. The general conference had to grapple with problems of finance that ranged among the millions of dollars, it had to deal with questions of law that included many different nations and governments; it had many complicated questions of polity, of sociology, of economics on which definite decisions had to be reached. There never has been a time when such opportunities were afforded such able men as Dr. Thomas Jackson and his class. There never was a time when the whooping, yelling, point-of-order individual appeared so small and disgusting. For one week and a little more the very life of the church depended upon the integrity and strength of character of Dr. Flipper, of Georgia. No one man in all the history of African Methodism has ever before been put to such a test. Dr. Flipper came out triumphant, and by the force of his own rectitude and strength saved the entire church from the greatest danger that has ever threatened it. There were a number of severe trials that put various men to the test and revealed to the church the true and strong men who are yet in the ranks. Dr. James M. Henderson, president of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga., towered among the men who have demonstrated great ability and sterling worth. Dr. H. C. C. Astwood won many friends and showed himself in a far better light than he has ever before been regarded. He was square, just, brave and manly, and absolutely too strong to be made the agent of even the most powerful combination of wicked men. His course at Chicago entitles him to a place among the strongest and squarest men of the church. Young Bryant was a revelation and will never be forgotten. He made a marvelous run for the office of the secretary of the Sunday School Union and missed it by but about three votes. Dr. Chappelle was saved by the late discovery of the fact that he had been misrepresented and that he had at no time actually been a party to the endeavor to force the election of certain candidates for the episcopacy. The fight started secretly against him by some defeated persons was what opened the eyes of just enough voters to save him. The general conference is a thing of the past, its actions are the living forces of the present. It may have made some mistakes but it did do many great and good things. J. M. HENDERSON, M D Boston, Massachusetts. WHAT BLACK-NO-MORE IS. Black-No-More is a liquid preparation, which is applied to the skin daily. It does not spot the skim. It is readily absorbed and leaves no trace of grease or stickiness. It is a scientific imbination which acts on the black cells of pigment by breaking them up. Nature immediately rebolds the cells, but in the change the dark cells become light and finally pure white. Black-No-Nore will turn the darkest skin white without injuring the skin. The effect is noticed from the first application. As freckles, tan and the hue of the Negro's skin are all due to one cause. Black-No-More can be used with entire satisfaction by white people as well as colored people. Its effects are quickest seen on the darkest skins. But no matter what the shade may be Black-No-More will, in due time, make any skin pure white. In order to give the readers of this paper a chance to try this wonderful remedy the price for Black-No-More has been placed at $1 50 express not prepaid. Cash must accompany order. No goods sent C.

Wilmington, you know, is the "nightmare" of North Carolina. Mishinformation has done its worst upon the people of this city. I have seen this country pretty thoroughly, but I do not, at this time, recall one town South of the Mason and Dixon line where the white people are more courteous or the Negroes more hospitable. I came expecting to be confused by tempests of prejudice, and, behold, there is no storm. Not enough to make the timid apprehensive. I think I should like to live in Wilmington. Oh, yes, I am not speaking the history of the city, but I speak of it as I see it. There may be an under current of feeling that a strange eye is not adjusted to discern, but I can not understand how Richmond, with wealthy Negroes, their fine churches, good schools and safe banks still have its street car question. Wilmington has not. At the same point of comparison it is ahead of Atlanta. The city has large number of Negroes, many of whom are representatives of high life. If money, brain and religion count for anything then the Wilmington Negro is truly progressive. St. Stephen's A. M. E. Church is a monument to the Negro's fidelity to his creed. Dr. Jackson, the pastor is one of the most able pulpit orators of the race. The church is said to have one of the strongest board of officers in the country. St Luke, of the Zion concession, is another great church. It would do credit to any city in the world. Dr. Bell, the pastor, is a finished gentleman and a great preacher. Revs. Hall and Nichols have large followings. They are both mdlsters of high rank. The Baptists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists are all doing nicely. St. Barnaba and the two graded schools are well attended. Unfortunately, the colored business houses are not in just proportion to the colored population, but time. It is hoped, will work its cure. Mr. E E Green, the grocer, is a bright examples of the successful Negro. Dr. Mask is here to stay, and to while the time away, keeps up a large practice, runs a nice drug store, watches a growing bank account and secures the copyright, it seems, on the latest jobs. Dr. John Mask, Dr. J. H. Alston and Dr. Chestnut all do nicely. Shaw, the undertaker, manufactures his stock and has a beautiful line of goods. I want to be buried in one of his caskets, but since he is very busy I have decided to wait. I know you want to hear more of Wilmington, but I hope you will decide to wait.

Mr. Alex Stevens, of restaurant fame, an old Texas boy, runs the two finest cafes for colored patrons in the United States. The funeral services of Mrs. Dr. J. W. E Bowen, who died at St. Louis on the 7th inst., were held in the chapel of Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., on the 13th and were attended by a large number of sympathizing friends.

Archibald Greatnose, 220 Indiana avenue Indianapolis, Ind, U. S. A., is his permanent address, and the visitor who falls to "drop in" and listen to one of Archie's funny stories of how he accumulated "the goods" and take a drive over the city behind one of his fast horses misses a grand treat. Archie has many diamonds, but his modesty prevents him from wearing them, except on special occasions. No doubt when Jule Jordan of Peoria Ill. comes over he will put on the entire outfit, and there will be "something doing" on the Rialto HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY. $5 to $20 per week, to work in hot- la apartment houses, clubs, restaurants stores private houses etc., in Washington, D.C.
