The minstrel stage is still holding in reserve a few choice comedy delegates, one of them is Clarence Powell. When I first discovered Powell he was a big street urohin but I am not going to go through history that should be printed in book form to give my readers one paragraph more than a nickel's worth of knowledge of my life's prestige protege. Mr. Powell believed in me for a while and after a short variety of intermissions he has at last decided to believe in me still. He has long since discovered that his motherwrit out his education, and that is one good point in actordom that many actors who are both ignorant and illiterate might envy, Powell is a born minstrel; he is the most natural one in the business and the hand-somest one with a big mouth. He is the star and stage manager of Rusco & Holland – Richard & Pringle's Original Georgia Minstrels. He has a very large voice; he is too heavy to dance very long without losing breath. History repeats history. His fame is bounded on the North by Mason & Dixon's line and reaches the West, including Canada. His female admirers are legion. I need not have mentioned that. Now, perhaps, I have said quite enough along the lines of his minstrel history. It is not the subject of minstrelsy that has caused me to indulge in Powell shop talk; what I really want to speak about most is Powell's prospects in comedy. You see Powell is a good prospectus; he has done a few things lately which I very much appreciate. I offered to write Mr. Powell a comedy in which he could star more than a season ago. He was a very young man at that time for the size of his reputation, so I advised him not to leave minstrelsy for a long time to come. Later on I told him to consult his manager, Mr Rusco, on the subject of being starred in comedy. He did so. Two stormy scenes resulted in Mr. Rusco repulsing comedy. I further told Powell to secure me a position to sing in the company so I could write a comedy to suit his Negroish ways. He did that too. I received an offer to sing in the Georgia minstrels last winter while on my tour in Nova Scotia, but I decided not to accept it owing to my pressure in literature. Continuing with the finishing touches of my subject I am inclined to think that Powell would make a good comedy star. He has informed me that he is a star already, but I partly deny the assertion, that is if he is a star he is not a comedy star. Comedy stars are higher in rank than minstrel stars may often be their superiors as actors. While Powell is the greatest of the colored minstrel stars he is only second in rank by reputation to the fullfledged star, Billy Kersands, who heads his own company by his name the same as George Primrose. In regards to comedy for Powell its just like this—I may write one at my leisure; there is no hurry. We must remember that Powell's reputation is largely in the South. Mr. Rusco has therefore been wise in his comedy decision. He knows the South is not very well educated up to modern Negro performances; we must give them to them gradually. The young generation of southeners is becoming ashamed of the old time slave prejudices and the aristocratic element was surprised when they beheld the Black Pati Troubledours and the tent show people who throubled to gaze at the Rabbits Foot. These are all favorable signs of progress, but the social edges of the crust of society in the South is not yet worn off. Modern comedy must be content to play East and West until the time and opportunity can flash its new electric lights behind the sun. When the sun truly shines as bright as they say it does in Kentucky Mr. Powell's prospects in modern comedy will be ripe. DULUTH.

EDITOR THE FREEENAN: I wish that I could convey to the Negroes of the United States the beauties, pleasures, comforts, profits, liberties and above all the justice INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1904. found in the tropics. Think of eternal spring on the mountain sides of the tropics with pure water, health, fruits, vegetables every day in the year! Can the colored people not form clubs to raise money to send truthful agents to secure land for homes in the tropics? Travel is not excessively expensive; one can go second class from New York to Havana for $12.50 by the Ward line, $'0 intermediate or $40 first class. The second class food is good enough for healthy laborers. Americans are opening sugar, cotton, orange, fruit and vegetable farms all through Cuba and the products of the island are valuable. Land is rapidly advancing in price in choice localities, most of it being from $25 to $50 per acre. The soil is rich and very productive; the laws make no distinction between white, black or bilious green; all go to church together, all go to school together, all ride in the cars together, all eat at the public tables together. Negroes learn the Spanish language in about one half the time which a white man requires. Spanish is easy "dead easy" and is spelled by sound only; each letter having one sound only with one or two natural exceptions. One can go from Havana to New Orleans for $10, steerage, food and bed provided by the boat, to Mobile for $20, to Port Tampa for $13.50. Let some enterprising American Negro come to Havana and open an employment office for American Negroes, securing work for them in the fields with white Americans, not bicolor green, jim crow Americans. Let no American Negro work for a jim crow Democrat in Cuba, it would be the worst of treason to his race. A passport is not necessary to enter Cuba but one must have about $40 or $50 in his pocket to svoid trouble. Blank passports can be had from the state department at Washington, can then be filled properly and sent to the state department with $1, then a passport will be sent to the applicant. It is a good plan to secure a passport always when going to a foreign country, especially South America. Venezuela gave the Boers a million acres of land for homes and would, probably, give American Negroes as much land for homesteads. Hon. J. B. Peterscn, a colored man, is American consul at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, and will tell us the truth about the land of perpetual summer where there is no hunger, no cold, no political jim crow politicians of bilious green color. I shall write a political letter to my colored brethren soon. Letus put our shoulders together, push hard and open the door of hope a little wider. It can be done; will u help?

MINEOLA Mineola, Texas, Special. —Times are very lively here at present.—Richard Williams was hit with a rock last week at the canning factory.—Walter Allen has 700 gallons of syrup this fall.—The election last Tuesday was all wright.—Jack McCullar gave a nice supper last week and everybody enjoyed themselves.—Mrs Lucy Mead was sick last week. There is scarcely a week passes by in which the death of persons are not recorded either from suicide, deliberate shooting or red handed robbery. The last two named are of such regular occurrence and accompiled by such skill and daringness as to shutter the stoutest of nerves. Adverting, however, to these dreaded highwaymen whose highest pleasures consist in maiming honest citizens, whose minds are paralized by idleness, except when after mischief, whose hearts are dead to every generous impulse, having sufficient heads only to commit the most horrible of crimes but not hearts enough to feel its consequences, are, strictly speaking, the enemies of civilization. It is through the unexpected attack of such ruffians that an honest and lawabiding man is forced to go armed when on his lawful pursuits, nay, even in his office in a large metropolis he is often brought to face with the muzzle of pistols of which errands he is no novice. "Death or money." Such state of affairs are truly deplorable, and what is worse the capture of these desperate come to us like angel's visits—few and far between. When will these hideous and lamentable practice which tends to impede the growth of civilization cease remains yet to be seen. At present, law and education have done much by way of stamping out such lawlessness in comparison with past years when the most horrible of tyranny existed. The former has established peace and order, the latter morality and virtue, but what does it matter whether the person a man meets on the road be restrained from robbing him through fear of punishment on the abhorrence of vice. All that a honest and hardworking man requires is the protection and safety of his property whether it be on his person or in his cottage and that his life be not hazarded for the sake of his own property by some dangerous tramp who trots about with the air of a gentlemen but is truly a vagrant in disguise. It is enacted in the laws of England as well as in this state that such characters are liable to be taken up and punished, and well would it be if such an act was more strictly adhered to since it is that the bulk of such offences point most certainly to such individuals. I, however, am content with an humble expectation of that time when the horizen will be clear of such nuisance and the property of every man, be it at home or abroad, shall enjoy the sweet privilege of safety.

H. W. ROB·RTSON. Fairmount Street. Dallas, Texas THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER TWO STRANGE POETS TWO STRANGE POETS Joseph Seaman Cotter, of Louisville, Ky., and Rev. B F. Harvey, of Peru, ind, are two gentlemen, sainted brothers of poetry that could be termed strange authors. It is not the individuality of these men nor the merits of their poems that incites the comment. The chief feature of contention is the benefit to be derived by themselves and a certain class of others by this review. As dealers in poetry they have been examined by a searching eye whose savage glimmer has glanced at their poems too often for the good of their hitherto undisturbed repose of high hopes and handiwork. We have seen enugh! Of these two men I may say it would not be fair to have them enjoy the same popularity as the genius Dunbar or other more capable poets even yet unknown. Mr. Harvey has on one or two occasions supplied us with a few little poems that were true to nature. They have shown that what he lacks in education, d f active rhythm and punctuation he very much supplies with a subject of natural interest and occasionally carries out his small theme to a real story—a thing Joseph Cotter has always failed to do. "SONGS OF HOPE" Mr. Harvey's "Songs of Hope" which have filled The Freeman columns to overflowing give inspiration only to the educated when he can manage to produce one good poem in sixty. To the illiterate his poems may always inspire because his imperfections to them are ever unseen. It is not to ridicule or condemn these two poets that I comment and reproduce verses and give out criticism on their work. Even if these two poets do not fully qualify we can all appreciate their efforts to do good, regardless of short extent. To the illiterate let this be an instruction that complete education and experience combined is the only avenue of qualified success that will gain universal recognition in any line of professional work. In order to show Mr. Harvey's lack of proportionate judgement I will reproduce one of his smallest poems, one with four lines which he contributed November 5th, entitled "Character." I will first give you his poem and then give you one of my own on the same subject just to show how he falls to illustrate the very object of his endeavor. "CHARACTER" "Character is what you are, In sight or out of sight; It bears the greatest trials, And stands the test of light. Mr. Harvey, as you can see, made short work of 'Character.' He gives the bright side of life by illustrating the 'soul' without the first effort to define character. What is character? I will define it in a poem of my own: CHARACTER Character is not a dream, Reputation is its theme, Honor, also self respect, Its the spirit's gleaming beam! Mr. Harvey, sometime ago, contributed in these columns a very good two verse poem entitled "Life" but his poem should have been called "Today and Tomorrow." The first verse begun: "Today is fair and bright, Free from the gloom of night— At rising sun, etc." The other verse begun: "Tomorrow is cold and dark, With here and there a spark To lead us on etc." This is to show how important even the title of a poem really is. LINKS OF FRIENDSHIP. "Links of Friendship" is a nest book of poems by Mr. Cotter, who is also author of "Caleb, the Degenerate," a book drama which I reviewed last season. Perhaps it may be wise to state that there is more than one reason why I have taken the trouble to review the poems of this author whose works are far from being great. When I review. Mr. Cotter's drama which was sent to me for that purpose I gave my candid opinion of the merits of his work. Today, after reading his poems, I stand more firmly by the same opinion that, as a writer, he is an extremist, and may never reach the gateway of idealistic glory. Mr. Cotter is a school teacher of self-acquired education; his book of poems was written about seven years ago at a time when his education may not have been quite as complete as we hope it is now. I much regret that he sent me this book of his earliest poems to be reviewed after he had read my opinion of his drama—a later work. The verdict of his book of poems must be dismissed as one of small distinction and little merit. The first poem in the book which has no title is headed "Prof. Maurice Kerby" and dedicated to "John G. Roach, Esq." a purely local affair. Whatever the poem is all about one on earth except himself could ever be able to tell. Why should I praise a man who sends me a book to review that contains poems with no story and no meaning. Am I unjust to say his efforts are a failure? must I say his work is grand to suit his personal friends who write in his defence and indirectly say my criticism is a slander? "Frederick Douglass" is a poem which in point of merit he came very near perfection. Even one of these verses has no meaning and he has no command of a story at any time enough to strengthen his fatal weakness. Another poem is "The Devil and the Higher Criticism" dedicated to a minister, but rather throws the ministry down. There are other poems that I dare not comment upon. Another round and I will have finished. One poetic stanza of twenty lines entitled "Contradiction," for a wonder is perfection. When I read it over I could hardly believe that Mr. Cotter wrote it, but he did. Hallalujah for him! His "prologue to a play" did not carry, and didn't. Prologues are no good anyway. "A Strange Man" was another strange story. "The Voice of the Ocean" was quite good. His Negro dialect poem in answer to Paul Dunbar's "After a Visit" was quite a worthy tribute to Kentucky his native state. One of his poems that is not exactly entertaining, owing to insanity, is entitled "The Bachelor" I will take it upon my shoulders to reproduce the second, third and last verses: 'He dwelt within a little but Surrounded by starvation. No woman called upon him but By special invitation. There lived with him a little boy Who loved to romp and tumble And see how much he could destroy To hear the old man grumble. And from that time on down to this Although it proves inhuman I never could find happiness In being near a woman."

In his annual address before the convention Dr. B. F. Allen, president, called attention to the importance of Will produce it for you.

He deplored the fact that reference is ever made to the farmer as "hay seed;" called attention to the fact that modern implements have taken the drudgery out of farm life and that success now depends on honest, intelligent work. He also expressed the hope that an appropriation for the Farmer's Convention would be made by the coming egislature in order that it might be possible to increase the extent and usefulness of a movement that would eventually prove a great blessing to the Negro population of Missouri. "Farms and Farming" was the subject of a highly instructive and practical paper by Mrs. B. B Brown, of Kansas City, the distinguished guest of the institution, and a woman who personally represents what thrift and economy will do for the Negro. The paper was full of practical points and was received with appreciation and applause. Interesting talks were made by Professors Garnett, Moten, Daniels and Murray while various students reported upon the agricultural work done in their respective states or counties. Prof. Daniel and Mrs. B B Brown were added to the number of state organizers and urged to use every effort to make the work a success. The program was interpersed with excellent music and the auditorium decorated with products of the farm and of autumn presented a pleasing and unique appearance. The following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, we are living in a state, the greater part of whose citizens are engaged in agrionultural and kindred pursuits and all of whose citizens are affected thereby, and Whereas, we believe that education is to prepare us for better life and acceptable citizenship, and if we do not teach the youths of this generation the dignity of labor and show them the strength and independence and manliness that will result from ownership, be it Resolved that we shall encourage among them agricultural and kindred pursuits and shall endeavor to take the element of drudgery out of it and make it as dignified as any other trade or profession by encouraging a better and higher standard of living; by owning our farms and equipping them with the latest and best field and garden implements; by buying less and producing more of what we use on our farms; by diversifying our crops and systematizing our work and calculating intelligently on our expenditures; by discountening the credit and mortgage systems and many other practices that will tend to ruin; by encouraging fruit growing, stock and poultry raising and breeding, canning and dalrying; by building good homes and making them attractive; by subscribing for good papers and magazines and keeping our eyes open for the best markets; by building good churches and school houses and asking for the best and most competent teachers and preachers; by encouraging our boys and girls to become peaceable and good citizens and to make themselves indispensable to the communities in which they live. Resolved further, that since the Farmer's Convention has been made a permanent feature of the work of Lincoln Institute and since a regular department of agriculture has been established in the school that we renew our efforts to organize local conventions in every community and county where there are enough Negroes to warrant it, and encourage them to give their boys and girls an opportunity to at end Lincoln Institute where a theoretical and a practical knowledge of the latest and best methods of farming may be acquired and utilized at home in the culture of cereals, vegetables fruits, etc. Resolved further, that we call upon the legislature of Missouri to make some appropriations which will enable President Alien to carry out his plan for reaching the colored farmers of Missouri and rendering them the assistance which can be given only by such agencies as Lincoln Institute offers. Resolved, that we thank Dr. B F. Allen, president of this convention for his nuturing efforts to keep ablaze the fires of interest in this work for the opportunity to meet here on these beautiful grounds and for the courteous and kind treatment we have received while in session here.

Louisville, Kentucky house and the hall converted into a dance hall while the stage was made a dining hall. The West Baden Hotel orchestra furnished music for the dance. —At the same time in the famous dance hall in French Lick, the pavilion, a similar scene was transpiring. The hall was elaborately decorated with perpetual palms and plants. The Montan Bro's orchestra furnished the music. The menu of both affairs was supreme, and will ever as much fun be had again in the valley? We doubt it. it's all over now. Will it ever happen again? Who was yer girl? The Smart Set was out. Was it mum or mume? Did you see the blonde? Were you on or off the bread wagon? Nissan Nannie Miller of Louisville was out. Schoaefer Waddy and Sol enjoyed themselves. Who didn't? Speak up. And Pluto still runs. Election didn't keep the crowd away. Mrs Harriet Cole was out. Nannie Stewart went to both. John Cornish was in evidence. "Mark Hanna" had three busses making trips every minute to Lick, carrying people to and fro gratis Luster was in his "Prince" "Jack" carried her dainty, blue wrap, smiled and looked wise. The Pavilion closed at 1 a.m. When the crowd left the opera house the clock chimed 3. Fools had a dream of the ball. Daisy was at her best. The Paul Jones quartette sang from the stage. The gallery was filled with spectators. Patsy was busy in the waltz contest, but couldn't turn its toes out. Geo. L.mistook Silas Swallow for "Sam" Swallow and voted the straight ticket. Why did Mable cease walking? Too "deep" for me. The Kentucky girls carried off the honors. G. H. Mumm put Silk Mason on the bum. It was rumored that the prettiest girl in Louisville would spend Sunday here, but she didn't—Forty gallons of punch was served during the dance at the Pavilion, and the two attendants in spotless white, with silver ladies, proved themselves artists—The coffee fiend was "in big" at the Pavilion, where the aromatic fumes of the beverage swelled the number of demi tasse patrons—The trap drums in French Lick made the "St. Louis Rag and King Pluto" very nipping, and everybody swung in again when the orchestra played "Navasjo." Are your feet sore? Mr. and Mrs. Rob Holden were at the Pavilion—"Dautte" Miller danced at the Opera House and Pavilion also. It was her first trip to French Lick, but she won't forget it soon—There were not enough girls to go round so Pennybaker and Clarence Grubbs "phoned to Indianapolis and New Albany for a bunch." Miss Nannie Proctor entertained Tuesday evening. Dancing from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Everybody enjoyed themselves. Mrs. Lee Babbage has returned from Louisville.—Didn't get the swell head. Minneapolis Notes. H.C. Jackson has lately been installed as third waiter at the Commercial Club under Headwaiter C. W. Dwyer. It seems strange that Mr. Oczart did not call over to Minneapolis and see the headwaiters and make known his plan. There was a banquet at the Commercial Club in Minneapolis the evening of his meeting in St Paul. There was a smoker given by the K. P.'s at their hall, Nov. 3. It was largely attended. The K. P.'s are quite strong in Minneapolis. Mr. A. Hamilton has laid down his trade (paper hanging) for the winter and is employed at the Commercial Club. C. W. Dwyer of the Commercial Club with the assistance of his splendid and intelligent crew mean to put things up to the highest notch. Waiting has become a business, and with the proper instructions from the headwaiters the colored boys will always lead. Headwaiters take The Freeman for your crew. Twenty copies go to the Commercial Club every Saturday; seven to the West Hotel and five to the Nicolett Hotel—food for the waiters. They seem more eager for The Freeman on Saturdays than their meals. Party serving is a specialty in the club and at many of the homes of the thousand members. PHELP'S HALL BIBLE TRAINING SCHOOL. Connected with the Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., offers exceptional opportunities to young men wishing to prepare for the Christian ministry. The chief aims of the Bible Training School are to give young colored men and women a comprehensive knowledge of the entire English Bible, and to implant in their hearts the noble ambition to dedicate their lives to the elevation and Christianization of their people. The students are required to do missionary work in the various churches and Sunday-schools near the institution, and in this way have been very helpful to the neighboring communities.

VARDAMAN. The Governor of Mississippi is the only one of the Southern fire-eaters that has found his voice since the November catadym. Tillman and Hefflin seem to be too full for utterance. Vardaman, however, finds time to let us know what he thinks about it, and in a published interview says he is willing for Mississippi's representation to be cut down rather than to allow the Negroes to vote. He says he would rather have four congressmen from its State, without Negro suffrage, than sixteen with the Negroes enjoying the right to vote. At the present time Mississippi is governed by an oligarchy. A mere handful of men, who are self-elected, make all the laws and hold all the offices. Over half of the men in the State are deprived by law of the right to vote, and a large part of the nominal voters, either from ignorance or indifference, do not go to the polls. In other words, Mississippi has a Republican form of government only in name. It is no more a government of the people than that prevailing in any of the districts of Russia. Men whose labor is the chief factor in the State's prosperity; thousands of men who participate in making the wealth and themselves own a considerable part of it, are allowed no voice in making or enforcing the laws. All power is centered in a small coterie which, if Vardaman is a fair sample, are unfit to hold governmental positions in any community. This man, despite the proofs that come from Tuskegee and hundreds of other Negro schools, declares that Negroes, instead of being benefitted, are actually injured by education. What can be expected of a man who gives utterance to such an idioic opinion or of those who elect him to be their governor. Of course the answer is simple and crushing. If education does more harm than good, then the thing to do is to abolish all our schools. Why waste time and money to educate, when ignorance is preferable to learning? Why not abolish civilization entirely and go back to barbarism? This latter, by the way, seems to be the goal of the Vardamanians, as with absolute barbarism prevailing they find their opportunity to get place and power. "In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is kind." Where nobody knows anything, it is possible even for a Vardaman to be considered a Big Chief. CONGRESSMAN CRUMPACKER'S INTENTIONS. We shall soon know, after congress assemblies, whether anything is to be done to cheat Southern disfranchisement and oppression on account of race. Congressman Crumpacker, chairman of the Census committee, will report a resolution to appoint a committee to thoroughly investigate the whole subject. When this committee reports congress will have a basis of action, and then will come the supreme test as to what this administration proposes to do. Under McKinley the whole question was shelved and the years passed by with nothing done. The Republican party, under his control, surrendered the Negro to the mercy of his enemies. It is hoped and expected that Mr. Roosevelt will exhibit more nerve and pursue a much more manly course. All that the Negro asks, all that any honest white man asks, is that the constitutional amendments be enforced. Nobody is asking that anything extraordinary be done; no one is demanding revolutionary action. We have a constitution which is the supreme law of the land, anything in State constitutions to the contrary notwithstanding. What Mr. Crumpacker proposes to find out is whether the great national chart, the fundamental law, is to THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. be nullified by conspirators and made a dead letter. We are told that it is a matter for the courts. Very well, then, let it be brought before the courts, not as a side issue, not under a subterfuge, but on its merits. Meantime congress has a solemn and sacred duty to perform. This duty it has long been shirking, but Mr. Crumpacker is determined to make the dominant party show its hand. While these questions are proceeding toward a settlement, the duty of our people is clear. They must keep cool heads. They must act in unison. They must lend their united strength to aid their real friends. They must not act the fool, indulge in wild talk or personal abuse, but proceed along sensible, conservative lines. This is a country of law and order and cannot be governed by shrrieking multitudes. No cause which depends on violence, on rioting, can win in the end, as many a striking labor union has learned to its cost. We must depend on the ultimate sense of justice of the masses of the people and gain their sympathy by showing them the justice of our cause. Don't imagine, however, that a mere party victory is going to save you. Party victories, unless followed by decisive action to remedy abuses, are as stinkling brass and sounding cymbals. The fruit, so fair to view, turns to ashes or the lips like the apples of the Dead Sea. WISDOM FROM OUR GREAT LEADER Booker T. Washington, who can always be depended on for the wise word in season, sounds a warning in an address to colored citizens delivered at Birmingham, Ala., on November 14. This is what he said in part: "Not a few have predicted that on account of the recent election many members of our race would lose their heads, would become unduly pompous, self-assertive and generally offensive. With all the earnestness that I can command I want to urge our people in every part of the country to disappoint those who have made such predictions by leading a life of increased usefulness, soberness and simplicity, remembering, as I have often exhorted before, that, in the long run, it is to the certain and fundamental ideas of growth in property, intelligence and high Christian character, together with the cultivation of friendly relations with our neighbors of all races, that we must look for our ultimate success." Our people cannot make a greater mistake than in supposing that the recent election, of itself, meant anything great for them. There have been many other decisive Republican victories of late years without the slightest improvement in the political or social status of the Negro or any change whatever for the better in his conditions. So it will be with the latest great victory unless it be followed by decisive action along reformatory lines. It is what the party does and not the mere act of putting it in power that counts. Will it do anything to check disfranchisement in the South, the "Jim Crow" car outrages, the miscellaneous and causeless lynchings and other outrages that have become alarming. Before doing any shouting it would be well to await events. It is over work well done that we should rejoice, and not mere empty promises that are not to be fulfilled. Many men 'seem unable to learn that parties are only means to an end and not the end itself. To convert one's party into a fetish, to be blindly worshiped, is just as pernicious a form of idolatry as setting up a graver image to be prayed to. Parties are valuable to their adherents only as they proved to be instruments in aid of progress, reform and the general advancement and well being of the people. The parties we have are always fruitful of promises before election, but these are often forgotten as soon as they are safely in the saddle. The party which has recently been returned to power by an unexamplied vote is specifically pledged in its platform to take action on Southern disfranchisement. What it does in this matter will be the measure by which to judge whether the thousands of Negroes who voted with it have been deceived. It is substantial results that are wanted and not the dry husks that come from party dodging. After all, as Mr. Washington wisely points out, the Negro race must depend chiefly on itself in working out its destiny. Political parties, of course, if right minded and sincere, can do much. This falling, as it so often does, the Negro finds that in the last resort his chief reliance is upon himself. "To thine own self be true and it must follow as night the day, thou canst not be false to any man." Senator Chaucoey M. Depew, in a recent speech at Abyssinia Baptist church, New York, paid a high tribute to Booker T. Washington, of whom he said: "I have rarely met his equal anywhere, and I have met all the great men of the world." Independent voting is growing all the time. This helps one party one time and another party some other time. Last fall thousands of Republicans voted the Democratic city ticket in hopes of getting a better administration. Last week hundreds of thousands of Democrats voted the Republican ticket in all the northern states and it was their votes, not those of Republicans alone that caused the landslide. States that went overwhelmingly for Roosevelt elected Democratic governors. This occurred in Colorado, Minnesota, Missouri and Massachusetts. The Freeman preached the desirability and value of more independent voting and see no reason to change its mind. It is the independent, honest voter who counts and not the thick-and-thin partisan. Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin is in Washington telling the President that several of the upper stories of our high tariff law must come down if the Republicans desire to retain control. Many inequalities have developed in the Dingley statute during its seven years duration, which can be corrected without endangering the protective principle. This is undoubtedly the great question of the near future. The people are tired of the special privileges granted trusts and other greedy corporations by unjust tariff exactions. Unless these abuses are remedied in the next two years there is liable to be an uprising of the people, regardless of party, to rebuke those who fail to do their duty. Here is a nugget of wisdom from Booker T. Washington's recent speech which it would be well to remember as we go along: "The masses of our people are to dwell for all time here in the South and here it is that our destiny must be worked out, and we can only succeed when we have the confidence and co-operation of those about us." Query, (but don't all answer at once) how many votes did President Roosevelt lose by that famous luncheon he gave to Booker T. Washington? He got over 8,000,000 votes and, perhaps, but for that courtesy he might have got a few million more. Who knows but Tillman. The large Negro population of Indianapolis cannot more highly recommend themselves to the people of Indianapolis than by alding in every possible way to bring about municipal reforms and improvements of all kinds. Give the city's needs your study and be ready at all times to co-operate with all good citizens to advance the public welfare. Don't always look at things from the standpoint of political partisanism, but simply as good citizens who have the community's interest at heart. Now that the election is well over can't something be done to speed the cause of securing elevated tracks and thus stopping the "slaughter of the innocents." Both parties are pledged to this moral reform but neither has done anything to bring it about. Like Josh Billings' mule, they are "stubbornly backward about coming formost." This will be a live issue next fall and a live wire for those who have been playing fast and loose. The Freeman intends, in the near future, to have something to say about a certain class of preachers who used their positions for selfish purposes. We have come to the conclusion that in the matter of grafting some of these preachers can give cards and spades 10 the silkest of the politicians. The most contemptable object on earth, it seems to us, is a pulpit pounder who uses his place to put illicit gain in his purse. Meantime, let us remember that there are other matters for us to consider besides the eternal race question. We are interested as citizens and taxpayers in all affairs affecting our community, and The Freeman proposes, in future numbers, to pay some attention to these instead of harping so much on our grievances and complaints as a race. President Roosevelt should call an extra session of the new congress for the express purpose of reforming our high tariff and passing reciprocity laws. McKinley, the high priest of protection, favored this policy, which is clearly the right one to increase our expanding foreign trade and allay domestic discontent. All that The Freeman and those it represents are asking is that "square deal" which President Roosevelt declared it was his desire to give to all the people. Give us an equal show under the law and we will attend to the rest. We are afraid these top-heavy majorities in Congress and the state legislatures will cause trouble. It is in just such unwielding bodies that the grafter finds his golden opportunity. If the Negroes had been allowed to vote in the South the election of Roosevelt would have been unanimous, so far as the States are concerned. The most sanguine among the Republican, those that hoped and predicted high, did not dream of the splendid victory that came to the "arms" of the party. The result was a splendid endorsement of Republican policies and principles and none the less than a vote of confidence in the eminence and ability of the individuals that headed the national ticket, and most especially so as it concerns that colossus, President Roosevelt, whose very striking personality was to no small extent an issue during the campaign. It will not be said that Roosevelt is not an aggressive man, but it is in the interest of progress as it is understood, mobilizing his strenuous forces in the interest of a greater America that it may challenge further admiration of the world for high resolves and purposes. It is the head and front of his offending. It is very evident that President Roosevelt desired to be President in his own right in that sense of fine scorn of unearned honors—the increment of other men's fame and work; he was himself a Saul, fitting full his armor; he doubtless desired a vindication of Roosevelt, Roosevelt's personality, which had so many times been called into question. The polis responded on November the 8th and we see this most picturesque and interesting man sustained as no other individual in modern times. The people stood up for Theodore Roosevelt. Senator Charles W. Fairbanks, vice-president elect, contributed in no small way to the success of the Republican ticket. He has been long the idol of Indiana Republicanism, admired and respected by all regardless of party, and is greatly esteemed throughout the country. Roosevelt and Fairbanks, the pair, Napoleonic in political order, patriotism and statesmanship. No happier selection could have been made; they were a tower of strength to the Republican party, and whose individuality had been stamped on the country long since; the mere presentation of the names was all that was necessary. "General apathy" spoken of so much was due to the excellent selection on the part of the Republican party. The peace and prosperity enjoyed were not to be jeopardized by experimenting with new hands. There was but little to talk over beyond the hopes of continued prosperity and the past policies of the party in power. In short, the people were content with the reign of peace and plenty and had no desire to swap it off for a reign of doubt and experiment. November 8th was a Red Letter Day in the history of Republicanism. In the days to come it will be referred to as the beginning of a new epoch in the country. The immense popular vote means something; it is the voice of the people, and which voice freed of prejudices, selfishness and undue egotism, is the voice of God. It means, at least, that the responsibility for the safe and intelligent conduct of the affairs of the country are further thrust on the Republican party. What will it do with it? As if in response to the "call," President Roosevelt, it is said, has already mapped out a program looking forward to the promotion of the general interest of the country, feeling that his election was not at the hands of a decided party—party lines like cumulus clouds, forgot their cleavage and clung to as one undistinguishable mass. This mass, Roosevelt says, he will serve, making the age resplendent with achievements and glory, hoisting the Republic "on high," giving it permanent place as the captain of civilization. According to report the President will not seek re-election, and he means what he says, "the always does," according to his "fellow cowboy-men" at San Juan, thus relieving the situation of opportunism, which would doubtless have been charged and thus operating against his future movements in that the sincerity would be impugned. The country is in a frame of mind to await the activities of the President who is conceded to be one of the most masterful and resourceful men of his day. The Negro will be an anxious spectator to things that transpire at Washington. It has been given out, and I think without the President's knowledge, that he does not stand for the equality of races, but for manhood. Admitting it to be true, he could only be accused of indiscretion. Under the great panoply, manhood, there is plenty of room. The race is at least saved for it has no right to be anything less than men. Severe as the restriction may appear it melts away before the light of reasonand understanding. We are now at the tests of civilization, on trial, if you please, the time when the best is expected. Be men and we get in on the proposition regardless of its construction. We feel to believe, however, that the President, who wen so magnificently, an atlas, to speak, "burdened" with the Negroes' love has no reason to feel less interested in the great black humanity of America now, and that when he comes into his kingdom of greater THE GREAT FRENCH SYSTEM for the civic righteousness and the laws' amplitude the Negro, while not on the right hand side, mayhaps, but in favor at court, will continue in the common care, being specifically recognized when merited. When he sets out on his pilgrimage seeking the shrine Justice for all men and equality before the law, when he succeeds in making other party names forgotten through redress of grievances, may he also by some means soften the political and civil asperities as it concerns the Negroes. Nor is it expected that he takes one step further than that justified by the greater sentiment of to-day. It is hoped that he use his good offices in influencing the hoped for result. We are in for the era of "good feeling"—can't come too soon, trusting that the now prosperous and enjoyous days may be added unto, bringing us nearer that idealism, the millenium, the dream of poets.

The few ladies present did not constitute a quorum and therefore the meeting was postponed. One of the prettiest receptions of the social season, so far, was given last Friday evening at the Dillard residence, 520 Louisiana street, when the Pallacean Girl's League, a university organization, gave its first annual reception to the Kansas University students. The spacious rooms were tastefully dechrated in blue and white, the club colors. Games, music and conversation was the order of the evening, and at 11:30 o'clock the hostesses served marquerites and cocoa. The favors were shield-shaped designs, done in the club colors and tied with blue and white ribbons. Those present were Misses Ada Barnett, Mattle Miller, Helen McClain, Paralee Lucas, Florence Kiser, Sadie Stone, Mary Dillard, Winifred Morton, Dora McNutt, Cora Wallace and Messrs. Green, Williams, Hardiman, Jennings, Jacobs, MacDonald, McNutt, Bosford, Ross, Bigham, Foster and Wright. Dr. and Mrs. F. D. G. Harvey were the honorary guests.

One Person in Four Has a Weak Heart. One of the surest signs of a weak heart is shortness of breath after exercise. Your heart is not able to pump the blood fast enough to your lungs. Some of the other symptoms of Heart Trouble are: Pains in the Side, Back and Shoulder; Fainting or Weak Spells; Dry Cough; Swelling of Feet and Ankles; Cold Feet or Hands. No one can afford to allow a weak heart to go without medicine, because weak heart means poor circulation, and poor circulation means weak lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, etc. If, therefore, you suspect heart trouble, begin taking Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure. The Heart Cure will do you, as it is a splendid tonic for the blood and nerves, and will revitalize your entire system. Finally, remember, Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure is sold under a guarantee that the first bottle will do you good. If it doesn't—your money back! "I was afflicted with hepatic fibrosis for three years. I would be apparently right, and without a moment's warning, and without as though shot. The attacks were frequent, and I was possessed me, as I never knew what where, nor under what conditions I would be attacked, and whether I would be treated by some of the most physicians of the state. Not finding relief from this source, I began taking DAB, and began to improve at once. I used to be entirely cured me, as I have not had an attack for five years."--MRS.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER trained dogs and ponies on the stage and has them under good control. We will work the state of Kansas in December are now in Nebraska. My regards to all friends, especially Skinner Harris, Mose McWharter, Clarence Powell and S. H. Dudley. Wm. Bruce is stage manager and is a coming comedian, Billy Bruce would like to hear from W. L. McMullen and Batte and Simmons. Next week will be an important one at the Park theatre by reason of two large companies appearing there. It will be a week of music and lively fun, leading off with the well known comedian, Harry Blaney in "Across the Pacific." The story in the play is of the war in the Philippines, having its beginning in a running camp in Montana, where numerous schemes are hatched for the discomfort of everybody. From this camp the scenes shift to Chinatown, San Francisco, and on the Philippines, where a battle with the natives is fought. The principal role is that of a newspaper correspondent who is seeking material for a book. This part is taken by Harry Blaney who is supported by Kitty Wolfe, Florence Dayton and a company of about forty others. Beginning on Thursday a new musical melange, "The Fortune Hunter," comes to the Park. Under the name of "Parls by Night," this show had a run of three months at Madison Square Garden, New York, last summer and it comes to the Park with no changes except in title. The scenes are in Paris, where two colored waiters became stranded, but there is practically no plot in the production. The company includes about fifty singers and fun makers, headed by Bert Leslie and Robert L. Dalley, Mae Sailor, for some time the Fifi in "The Belle of New York," has an important part, and Hugh Cameron, Margaret Messenger and Louise Egener are some of the others. There is a large chorus and the famous Diana show girls is one of many features. Notes from Stafford Bros., Minstrels.—Everybody is well and having a nice time. Gonner, middle man, has been very sick but is better at this writing. Sonny Marshall, our end man, is much better. He has put on a new act which is pleasing to all and is scoring hits nightly. Simon Briggins has returned from his trip. I. J. Jordan, the leader of our band is somewhat ill at present. Out of our thirty-five people we have none who can be called a booze fighter. Alford King, trap drummer, has resigned. We regret his leaving. The company sends regrads to him and would like to hear from him as early as possible. Dave Meadows, our tuba player, sends regards to Billy Mays. E. W. Meadows sends regards to all friends. Sonny Marshall would like to hear from Buddy Glenn, George Roane and Alford King. Effie Smith and J. Jordan sends regards to A. B. Stokes also Steve Jones. Bertha Tate sends regards to Alfred King and would like to hear from him; also to Dick Lewis of Mahara's minstrels and Julius Glenn, Will Garland. Would like to hear from all professional friends. J. Ed Goggin of the team of Goggin and Davis writes from Leicester, Eng.—Just a line or two to inform you that we are still doing nicely in this country and have become big favorites. Belle Davis is a big hit at the Palace, London. Billy Farrell is doing fine also is Billy English, Frank Cumminger. We received a letter from Edgar Jones, brother to Irving Jones now at Finland; he is doing nicely and is booked up solidly. He can do his show in almost any country as he speaks several languages fluently. He has been over here for sixteen years and says he is newer going to America. His three children cannot speak English at all, only German. Grant & Grant caught on big over here and are booked up solid for over a year. Tom Brown and Nevam are a knockout and are topping the bill everywhere they play. At present they are on the Banasford tour. We are booked up until 1907 over here. We have some little time out for our vacation which we may spend in America—just a short one to see the folks, that's all. The "In Dahomy" company was in Dublin last week and reported that they are all well and are in excellent spirits doing very big business. They have a good company. Avery and Hart being exceptionally good in their respective parts. Regards to all our brother professionals. Napoleon Johnson writes from the Georgia Minstrels: We are still in the State of Kansas with Missouri and Colorado to follow. As a rule, it has been said, Kansas was a poor Sta'e for shows, but if full houses are any criterion then the Georgias is the exception, and it is needless to say we leave them screaming nightly. On our way from Webb City, Mo., to Girard, Kas., Nov. 7, the "Moonshiner's Daughter" was on the same train on their way to Pittsburg, Kas. Sam Lucas, being a member of said company, during the run spent the time on our car as guest o Billy Young, Glarence Powell and Harry Fiddler talking over old times. Mrs. Fred Burch, who is working with Mr. Lucas, was shaking hands with friends. Mr. Lucas needs no introduction to the profession as he earned his well-known reputation in the old school with Kersands, Young, McIntosh, etc., but suffice it to say that from what I can learn from press and public they, like most of the other colored performers with white companies, they are holding their own and coping along with the rest. Up in these parts, as the weather has changed, overcoats are in order, and some days on parade the boys are wishing for some of the warm days experienced the past summer. The ever popular Clarence Powell is holding his own as star, principal comedian and stage manager. As he has a well earned reputation along all three lines, and using his ability to best advantage, is keeping the show far above the average. Happy Beaugard of the team of Williams and Remaker sends regards to Cook and Jones, Mose Terry and all Chicago friends. Wm. Goode basso, who has been making quite a hit singing "When Winds O'er Sea Blow a Gale," is forced by numerous requests to sing his old song hit, "Chink of the Miser's Gold." He says hello to the Nightingale Quartette, Indianapolis and Chicago friends, the band, under the leadership of William Blue, is still creating a sensation in the music world. Now, that we have been strengthened by a claitorate player in the person of Henry Fitzgiles, standard overtures are again the features of our concerts. John W. Cooper, better known as the "Wizard," is still a feature of the ollo. He made a flying trip to Kansas City, Mo., Friday, to witness Trivolo and his wooden figures. Harry Fiddler, the funny fellow, also of big mouth fame, says boys, I am still with the big show and getting mine. Clever Billy Young, the versatile comedian, has not lost any of his cleverness, and as interlutor and straight man, stands second to none, and is a very valuable member of the company. Lester McDaniels wishes to be remembered by McCameron and Johnson and says "Yibidle." Harry Toney of Toney trio of acrobats says Uncle Joe, why don't you write. The boys join me in sending our best wishes to S. H. Dudley, all members of last year's company and all friends. Robert Williams' imitations of the mocking bird in the first is pleasing the people, and in ollo with his partner, Remaker, in old man song and dance they never fail to get their. Amos Gillard says hello to Kersands' minstrels, Black Patti Troubadours and special regards to Miss Ida Forsen. Horace Copeland, a minstrel star of a decade ago, but now helpless in an institution, used to get his Freeman subscription paid for by Tom McIntosh. Since Tom's death I paid for one year's subscription out of my own pocket. I would ask each minstrel company to contribute 25 cents each (one penny a piece) to the company's Freeman agent to be sent to Elwood C. Knox, to be publicly acknowledged in the Freeman. Mr. Copeland's account is a little behind and none of the money will be wasted. If actors only knew of all the tales of misery I continually receive they would not wonder at my occasional effort for actor charity. YSLESTER RUSSELL. The Freeman in New York. Chas. H.

A mode that is popular because of its good style and graceful shaping is the one with cape-like collar, extended down the front in stole effect. The sleeves may be Meet on the Field Saturday, Nov. 12, at Asheville, N. C., and Have Exciting Game. The Morristown (Tenn.) Lions and the Y. M. 1. boys of Asheville, N. C., met on the field Saturday, Nov. 12, at 2 o'clock. Asheville having the first kick off and the ball falling into the hands of the Lions and gaining 15 yards; then the ball was lost and came in the hands of the Y. M. 1. boys, they gaining 5 yards. The ball put in place, and in the second down all of the Y. M. 1. boys getting the ball in a fumble, slipped and carried the ball across the goal. This marked the Y. M. 1. boys 5 yards, failing to kick a goal. By this the first half was up, and the boys planned for the last half. The Lions were too skillful for the Y. M. I. boys in their Q. B. work; it kept the boys in an uproaring trying to catch the Lion's numbers. T. James, the L. B. for the Lions, had the Y. M. I.'s bested in his numbers, which caused a panic among the boys, when he would call A. B, C, 24, 28, 31 and R. T. over. The Y. M. I. boys never touched the ends of the Lions, which were too perfect for them, they would always push the center. This was because their boys were all full weights. In this, the last half, the Y. M. I. boys kept the ball until the time keepers called the boys from the field. The day being damp and the ground wet, the boys could hardly be told apart because each had their faces enameled with mud. A good crowd was out. After the game the Lions gave the Y. M. I.'s a grand social in their parlors. The boys left at 6:15 p. m. for Asheville in good spirits while the defeated Lions enjoyed themselves with the young ladies pulling old fashion candy in the dining room. The demands in all parts of this country, and in several foreign countries, for well trained men of our race in the direction of scientific and practical agriculture are so great that this institution is willing to offer exceptional advantages to young men who wish to come here and take either a regular or post graduate course in agriculture. We cannot begin to supply the demands that come to us for trained men in the direction of agriculture. The positions for which these trained men are wanted are those in most every case which pay high salaries. We wish to get hold of men who have received, as far as possible, a good education before coming here, and are ready to enter upon a thorough course of agricultural training.

But the latter songs quite overcame them with pleas. ure and admiration, and before she fin- ished every head in the room was jog- ging from side to side and forward and back jn time to the music, while every foot shuffled the measures on the carpet. When the gentlemen from out of town discovered that it was time to leave if they meant to catch their train Helen called to them to wait, and they gathered around her, “Just one second,” she sald. And she poured all the glasses full to the brim. ‘Then, as she stood in the center of tie circle they made around her, she said; “Before you go shan't we pledge each other to our success in this good home grown Indiana cider that leaves our heads clear and our arms strong? If you will—then”— She began to blush furiously, and her voice trem- bled, but she lifted the glass high over her head and cried braveiy, “Here's to ‘our candidate! ‘The big’ men, towering over her, threw back their heads and quaifed the gentle liquor to the last drop. ‘Then they sent up the first shout of the campaign and cheered till the rafters rang. “My friends,” said Mr, Keating as ke and Boswell and the men from Gaines drove away from the brick house—"my friends, here is where I begin the warmest hustling | ever did. Now, I guess we all think this is a great plan’— “It is a glorious idea,” said Mr. Bence. “The name of Harkless’— Keating drowned the oratory; “But that isn’t all, That tittle girl wants it to succeed, and that settles it. He goes.” ‘That night Mr. Parker, at work in the printing office, perceived the figure of Mr. Tipworthy beckoning him mys- teriously from the pavement. What's the matter, Budiey" “Listen. She's singin’ over her work.” Parker stepped outside, On the pave- ment, people had stopped to listen, ‘They stood in the shadow, looking up with parted lips at the open, lighted windows whence came a clear, soft, reaching voice, lifted inetfably in song. Now it swelled louder unconsciously; now its volume was more slender, and it melted liquidiy into the night; again it trembied and rose and dweit ia the ear, strong und pure, and hearing it You sighed with unknown lougiugs. It was the “Angeis’ Serenade.” Bud Tipworthy’s sister, Cynthia, was with him, and Parker saw that she turned from the window and that she was crying quietly. She put her hand on the boy’s shoulder and patted it with a forlorn gesture which to the foreman's eye was as graceful as it was sad. He moyed cioser to ud, and his big hand fell on Cynthia's brother's other shoulder us he realized that red hair could look pretty sometinies, and he wondered why the editor’s singing made Cynthia cry, and at the same time he decided to be mighty goad to Bud henceforth. ‘The spell of night and Song was on bim; that nad something more, for it is a strange, inexplicable fact that the most practical chief ever known to the Herald had n singularly sentimental intluence over her subordi- nates from the moment of her arrival.

Presently he leaned from his horse and whispered to a mau near him, “I know that song.” “Do you?" whispered the other, “Yes, He and I heard her sing it the night he was shot.

Willian ‘Tord took his courage between hi teeth and, the song ringing in his ears made a desperate resolve to call upor Miss Bardlock that evening in spite o its being a week day, and Caleb Parker gently and stammeringly asked Cyn thia if she would wait till he siut uy the shop and let him walk home with her and Bud. Soon the square was quiet as before and there was naught but peace under the big stars of July. ‘That day the news had come that Harkless, after weeks of alternate im: Provement and relapse, hazardously lingering in the borderland of shadows had passed the crueial point and was convalescent. His recovery was as sured, But from their first word of him, from the message that he wa: found and was alive, none of the peo ple of Carlow had really doubted. ‘They are shnple country people, and they know that God is good, CHAPTER xn E24 RF & long while, bt iteaiways wakes up some time, and Plattville woke up in August when the Herald became a daily. 1 Was then that history began to b made. The Herald printed news! 1 had made a connection with the Asso ciated Press, and it was sold every morning at stands in every town it that section of the state, Its circula tion tripled. Two new men were brought from Rouen for the editorial and reportorial stat, and Parker talked of new presses. During the first week of the daily venture Eph’ Watts struck oil, and the Herald boomed the field. People swarmed into town; the hotel was crowded; strangers became no sen. sation whatever. A capitalist bough the whole north side of the square ¢g erect new stores, and the Carlow bank began the construction of a new bank building of Bedford stone on the corner opposite the Herald. ‘Then it was whis: pered, next affirmed, that Main street was to be asphalted. That was the end of the “old days” of Plattville, But the man who had laid the foun- dation upon which the new Plattyille ‘was to be built, he who through the quiet labor of years had stamped his spirit on the people, lay sick in his friend’s house snd did not care. Tom Meredith had taken him frora the hospital to his ow. home on @ quiet sireet in Rouen, and John wes well enough of his burts to be taken abroad sometimes in a victoria, where he reclined, gray and thin, seemingly no more than x long afternoon shad- ow. But for days he would lie in a lethargy that made Tom despair, The soul of the country editor was sick in- side of him: he was weary and worn, and pain lind left him dulled, except when he thought of returning to Platt: ville; then he felt physical horror, ‘The place did not need him, nor he the Place. Fisbee had found a young rela- tive to run the Herald, who signed his typewritten business letters “HI. Fis- bee” in a strapping hand that suggest. ed six feet of muscle spattering ink on its shirt sleeves. John wondered idly where old Fis. bee had raked up a relative, and he thought it probable that H. Fisbee was a Yankee cousin of the old man, but he did not care much for that or for anything except to keep away from Carlow for the rest of his life, since he was to live. And there was no lon- ger need to go there. He was glad to know that. 11, Fisbee had written him before the oil bubbled in Eph’s wells that to buy stock in Mr. Watts’ com- Pany might be profitable, especially as the stock was then so low that it was almost imperceptible, and Harkless had a little money he had saved. He let Meredith arrange it for him, and a few days later the stock leaped cloudward. However, his modest riches interest- ed him as little as did everything else. He left is bed less and less, took no more drives, and his lethargy deep- ened. ‘The only thing in which he showed interest was the congressional eau paign of the district. It was far ad- vanced before the Herald spoke of it at all, and Harkless saw that McCune had lifted his head. One day Tom came in and found him writing on a pad on his knee. : Rouen, Sept. 2, —. Dear Mr, Fisbeo—Yours. of the Ist to hand. 1 entirely-approve all arrangements you have made. I think you understand that I wish you to regard eversthing as in your own hands. You are the editor of the Herald and have the sole responsibit- ity for everything, including polley, until, after proper warning, I relieve you in person, if that ever happens, but untit that time regard me as a mere spectato:. T do not fear that you will make any mis- takes. You have done-very much better’ tn all matters than I could have done myself. At present I have only one suggestion: I observe that your editorials concerning Halloway's renomination are something lukewarm. It is very Important that he be renominated, not so much on account of assuring his return to Washington (for he is no Madison, I fear), but the fellow McCune must be beaten if we have to send him to the penitentiary on an old issue to,do it, ‘The man is corrupt to the bone, He has been bought and sold, and I am glad the proofs of, it are in your hands, as you tell me you found them, as Rested. Do so at once; the time ts short. ‘The Herald is a ttle paper (not so. Iti nowadays, after all, thanks-to you), but ft ts an honest one, and it isn't afraid o Rod McCune and his friends. Please let Me see as hearty a word as you can say for Halloway also. "You cam write with ginger. Please let us have some in this matter. Tam, very truly yours, JOHN HARKLESS, When the letter was concluded, he handed it to Meredith. “Please ad. dress that, put a ‘special’ on it and send it, Tom. It should go at once, so as te reach him tonight.” “H. Fisbee?” “Yes—H, Fisbee.” “I believe it does you good to write, boy,” said the other as he bent over him, “You look more chirrupy than you have for several days.” “It's that beast McCune. This young Fisbee is rather queer about it. I felt stirred up as I went along.” But even before the sentence was finished the favor of age and utter weariness re- turned, and the dark lids closed over his eyes. ‘They opened again slowly, and he took the other’s hand and looked up at him mournfully; but, as it were, his soul shone forth in dumb and elo- quent thanks, “I—-I'm giving you a jolly summer, Tom,” he said, with a quivering effort to smile. “Don't you think I am? 1 don't—I don't know what I should have —done"— “You old Indian!” said Meredith ten- aerly. ‘Three days later Tom was rejoiced by symptoms of invigoration in his pa- tient. A telegram came for Harkless, and Meredith, bringing it into the sick room, was surprised to find the oceu- pant sitting straight up on his couch without the prop of pillows. He was reading the day’s copy of the Herald, and his face was flushed and ‘his brow stern, “What's the matter, boy?” “Mismanagement, I hope,” said the other in a strange voice; “worse, per- haps. It's this young Fisbee. 1 can't think what's come over the fellow. 1 thought he was a treasure beyond dreams, and he’s turning out bad. I'll swear it looks like they'd been—well, I ‘won't say that yet, but he hasn't print- ed that McCune business I told you of, and he's had two days. ‘There is less than. a week before the convention, and”— He broke off, seeing the yellow envelope in Meredith's hand. “Is that a telegram for me?’ His companion gave it to him. He tore it open and read the contents. They were brief and unhappy. Can't you do something? Can't you come down? It begins to look the other way. KH “Tom, give me that pad and pencil,” said the sick man. He rapidly dashed off a note to H. Fisbee. : Sept. 5, —. H, Fisbee, Editor Carlow Herald: Dear ‘Sir—You have not acknowledged my letter of the 2d of September by a note (which should have reached me the fol- lowing morning) or by the alteration im the tenor of my columns’ which I_ro- auested, or by the publication of the Me- Cune papers which I directed. In this T hold you grossly at fault. It you have a conscientious reason for refusing to carry Gut my request it should have been com- municated to me at once, as should the fact—if such be the case—that you are Personal (or impersonal, if you Tike) friend of Mr. Rodney MeCune. “Whatever the mo- tive which prevents you from operating my paper as 1 direct, T should have been tne formed of it. ‘This is a matter vital to the Interests of our community, and you have hitherto shown yourself too alert. in ac cepting my slightest suggestion for me to construe this failure as negligence. You will receive this letter by 7 this evening by special delivery. You will print the facts concerning MeCune in to- morrow morning's paper. I am well aware of the obligations un- der which your extreme efliciency and your thoughtfulness in many matters have placed me. It Is to you 1 owe my Unearned profits from the transaction in ail, and it is to you T owe the Herald's extraordinary present circulation, growth of power and Influence. ‘That power Is still under my direétion and is an added esponsibility which shall not be misip- plied. Are you sorry for MeCune? I warned him long ago that the papers you hold would be published if he ever tried to re- turn to political life, and he ts deliberately counting on my physical weakness and absence, Let him rely upon it—I am not #0 weak as he thinks, Lam sorry for him from the bottom of my heart, but the Herald Is not, You need not reply by letter. ‘Tomor- row's issue answers for you. Until T hate received a copy I withhold ‘my judement JOHN HARKLESS. Tomorrow's iseue—that fateful print on which depended John Harkless’ opinion of H. Fisbee’s integrity—con- tained an editorial addressed to the delegates of the convention, warning them to act for the vital interest of the community and declaring that the op- portunity to be given them in the pres- ent convention was a rare one, a sin- gular piece of good fortune indeed. They were to have a chance to vote for a man who had won the love and re- spect of every person in the district— one who had suffered for his champion- ship of righteousness; one whom even his few political enemies confessed they held in personal affection and es- teem; one who had been the inspiration of a new era; one whose life had been helpfuiness, whose hand had reached DR. BOOKER T, WASHINGTON, ee The inspiring story of the life of Dr Booker T. Washington, the renownec Negro educator, was eloquently tolc ‘Ast evening in a sermon by the Rev Dr, Nacy MoGe Waters, in the Tomp: king Avenue Congregational Churob, Tompkins avenue and McDonough St. Dr. Waters presented Dr Washington as “A Hero in Bonds.” It was the fourth of his series of sermons on “He. rolsm in Common Life.” He said, in part: ‘ For several Sunday evenings I have given you chapters out of the great study of herolsm in common life, To- night I want to tell you tte story of a jslave, @ black man. He did not know the name of bis own father; his mother i. 8 Negro slave; and as for a name, he had none until he made one for him- seif—Booker T. Washington. “The firet things he can remember are the great house where the master dwelt with his grown sous and daugh- ters in idleness and happiness and Plenty; the long rows of log cabins where the slave population herded; his own mother, who was the plantation (000k; the log cabin, stoveless, window- tess, floorless, faraitureless, which he called home. He remembered his first ‘work, carrying echool books for one of ‘his young mistresses to the school door | As she passed in he caught a glimpse of @ school house with children and teach- er ta it, and as he heard the Negroes ‘taling about Paradise he thought that was it. He remembered also, as the ee war came on and progressed, to ‘be awakened late at night, as he slept apon his bundle of rags upon the dirt floor, by hearing the darkies who gath ered in the cabin, singing their weird ‘chants of freedom and praying God to ‘keep ‘Massa Lincoln and give the North- ern armies the victory.’ He remem- bered also when young master was brought home dead from a Southorn battlefield, his gray uniform stained with bis own blood, and the sorrow of both whites and blacks as they bore him to the grave. He remembered also when the great day came and the slaves ‘svete all called up to the big house and told that they were free. “In 1881 some people of Alabama asked General Armstrong to name a white man who could open up a Normal Industrial School for Negroes in Taske gee. Genesal Armstrong had written, Iknow of no white man; if you will take a Negro, 1 have the man for son.’ Atelegtam came back: ‘Booker Wash ington will suit us. Send him on at once.” “Bis lfe work had opened. From that day until this day his work has been at ‘Tuskegee, and the name by which Booker Washington will be re membered 1s that of the Negro echool teacher. And yet his beginning was most discouraging. When he arrived at Tuskegee he fonnd no building, no apparatus, no school. He found only a \Wttle ragged town in the black belt of the South and §2 000, which had been appropriated by the Legislature for a school, and every cent of which must ve spent in salaries for teachers. After Bteat difficulty he secared a deserted house for @ school room and the use of colored church for an assembly room Here, on the Fourtbjof July, 1881 with himself for president and faculty, he be: gan the Tuskegee Inetitate with thirty scholars. “In all the history of sacrifice giving know of no chapters better than this story of how ® black people responded to his call for money to build up the school. Some would bring cotton, some sugar cane, some a day’s work, some money—five cents, twenty-five cents, One old farmer drove a mule hitched to. a sled twenty miles to give bis present, his only hog An old woman came on foot ten miles, though she was 70 years old.

AUSTIN 884 McVicker's Theatre Buliding, CHICAGO, ILL. | Ras ep ee Set ea, he oe eae eee stores, and the bank—all in all repre. senting one-half million dollars. And this s the least of his work, He has Bained 9 hearing from the Southern people themselves. He has gained the confidence of the Northern people, He hhas blazed ont a new path for Negro education—walking along which the ace problem éhall at last be solved, and there shall be no strife or rent in our common country. “How did he do it?” One answer is: Ho does it by hisellver tongue. Mr. Wachington is an orator. It isa trae answer. Booker T, Washington is a master oratcr. And of all the powers bestowed upon me there is not one in my jadgmient to be compared with the power of persuasive speech. Another answer: The secret of his work is his plan. Industrial education 1s the solution of the race problem. In slavery the Negro was the hewer of wood and the drawer of water. He tolled and others lived on his labor. ‘The master dispised labor and the slave hated labor To both of them it vas the badge of itferlority. To both of them idleness or intellectual Iabor wis the badge of a freeman, “The war came. Freedom came. To the Negro freedom meant idleness office, good clothes, freedom from manual toll. Education meant Latin Greek, French and preaching and teaching and oratory ‘The edneated Negro refased to work and epurned farming and matonry and carpentry. He became uppleh, insolent, clamorous for rights and privileges. The white man denounced edncation for the Ne- gro. It unfitted him for work. In part it did. In part the white man was right. Anyway, the galf between the races widened Mr. Washington cams and sald and put his saying into action ‘It {8 more important that a Negro should have a chsnce to earn a dollar ‘on your streets tha he should have the ight to sped that dollar in your opera house. And so he has gone abont his Work, both at Tnekegee and on the Platform, pleading with blacks and whites alike, always insisting that the basis of all civilization is the industriat basis, Ho pleads not for more political privileges, not for more soetal privileges but for more indastry, more thrift, more property, knowing that at last » man’s piace In soclety depends not upon his color nor his ancestry but upon bis worth to society. What can he d.? How can he serve? In this ‘present time for the Negro the way of industry 1s the path to glory. “There is another newer. Wr. Washington's succees is not his first {n oratory nor even in his plan of in- Gusirial improvement They are im- portant and powerfal. But the great secret of his career is his spirit; his character ie himself. ‘Lt wae becanse of the heroism of the mm that the people of Boston sent him to Burope a few years ago, where )e Was the guest of prince and kings.

Smith, the oldest Negro Freemason and Odd Fellow in the United States, celebrated his 84th birthday a few days ago at his home, 45 Wellesley Park, Dorchester. He held an informal reception, which was attended by his relatives and immediate friends. Mr. Smith is the last surviving member and master of African Lodge of Boston, the first organized lodge of Negro Freemasons in this country. Mr. Smith takes much pride in the fact that he attended the convention which nominated Abraham Lincoln for president. He has always been a Republican and has served a term in the common council and in the legislature. He was born in Virginia.—Boston Herald. Pope Sends Silver Medal to Colored Cook.—Katie, the Negro cook for the board of lady managers at St. Louis, received yesterday a silver medal from Pope Pius. Katie was formerly a slave in Virginia, and is a devont Catholic. When Mgr. Francesco Tagiati, who brought the late pope's jubilee gifts to be exhibited at the World's Fair, was in St. Louis he called with Cardinal Satolli on the board of lady managers. There was a reception followed by a luncheon, and Katie cooked it. Later the cardinal blessed the board of lady managers and included Katie, who was the only Catholic present When Mgr.

Benjamin Banneka, astronomer, mathematician, author and publisher of one the first almanacs in America, who could speak five different languages, who assisted the commissioners to survey and map out the District of Columbia, was the Negro whom Mr. Jefferson invited by letter to come and enjoy his hospitality at the White House. Mr. Banneka accepted the invitation, and broke bread with the first Democratic President. On his return to his home near Baltimore, Md., be, according to his promise, sent Mr. Jefferson a copy of his almanac, and a letter pleading for better treatment of the people of African descent in the United States. Mr. Jefferson prized the almanac so highly that he sent it to Monsieur de Cordorat, secretary of the Academy of Sciences at Paris, and member of the Philanthropic Society. The original letters which passed between those distinguished men are still in a high state of preservation. Colored Women Her Social Equals.—Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley, a noted club woman, autores, lecturer and social figure, has organized a movement to give cultured colored women social rec ognition. The organization, which is made up of black and white women, gave a reception to black and white women at the home of Mrs. Henry McGee, a white woman "I consider Ida Wells Barnett, Elizabeth Davis and other colored women of culture and the peers of many of my white friends," said Mrs. Wooley. "Do I receive colored women as social equals? Certainly, if by social recognition you mean inviting them to my home to eat at the same table, and calling upon them and receiving their calls" The function was planned by the Frederick Douglass Centre, of which Mrs. Wooley is the founder and president "My standard of judgment in selecting friends and associates is that of individual fitness," she said "I am just as happy to entertain a colored person of refinement and culture as I would be to entertain a white friend. It is entirely a matter of individual merit and qualification. Color does not enter into the consideration. I have investigated and know the restrictions which the black man suffers in business and in civil life. The aim of the Frederick Donglass Centre is to remove these barriers. We do not believe in herding classes of races of people together in one section or place." NOTICE.

Madame is the only one in the world who nurtures husband, with age and date of marriage tells you whether the one you love is true or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such belfs are contrary to the truth.

They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring that will have a penalty to make the pathway to the road of the business and devoid of obstacles. An unlucky fact that persons will come for service—in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavour to know so as to hear if it’ll be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out of a person by a bumping in no few seconds, is the art used to make a person the one he comes to hold of the band and gain control of the mind. there is, a matter of impossibility to most of us, a matter of being the one, and by invoking MRS.
