As Mr. Temple arose, filled with emotion, he begun by leading the singing of "A Charge to Keep I Have." The following is the response in part: "Worshipful Grand Master, Fellow Members of the Order—I accept the numerous presents given to me to night as an expression of good will and esteem that is held out to me by the Odd Fellows in this city. After twelve years of leadership in this state, as well as the nation, I feel that although my footsteps are nearing the sunset of life, there is yet a pleasant feeling for me in the hearts of the brethren. This is a season of thanksgiving when men and women pray and return thanks to God for health, happiness, and the success that I have had in trying to build up our order, I will not forget to ask God to shower His blessings upon you and each of you for your kind remembrance of the widow's son who has attempted to lead you onward and upward for years. I shall invoke good blessings upon us, as we are all members of an unfortunate race. Let us make this a continuous season of thanksgiving by praying the prayer of faith, hope and charity with our eyes ever upon the sacred principles of friendship, love and truth. Permit me to thank you again and again for this magnificent expression of good will and confidence. There are two things I never forget. One is the good things done for me, the other is the bad things done to me. I can see tonight a brighter sky bending over me than ever before to catch the light of the rising sun of a new and brighter day. I pledge you a faithful devotion to duty which is the best recompense that I THE WORKSTORE can offer you. Grand Master, your action tonight has fittedly typified the enterprise and wealth of our grand institution. In the near future it will be my pleasure to demonstrate my appreciation of the many costly presents that you have so kindly given me tonight. My fondest home is for health, happiness and prosperity to lead in the wake of the march of you all."—The (St. Louis) American Eagle. THE ART OF MAKING FRIENDS I can think of no better illustrations of how the Negro should go about it to win his way up than that which is afforded by the course and methods of those who seek to be elected to a much desired office. What the office seeker wants is votes and what he needs to secure the votes is favor. In order to gain the favor of the voters he seeks to make them friendly to him and to his candidacy. The art of making friends and of winning favor is based upon certain general principles, but the successful use of these general principles is in itself an art which each individual must practice for himself. Those who seek to make the white people friendly to the Negro as a race have on hand a much more difficult task than has the individual Negro who seeks to make the white The image provided does not contain any text. It appears to be a blank or unmarked area with no visible content. people friendly to him as an individual. But it is true that the greater the number of individual Negroes who win the favor of the white people the less difficult becomes the task of making friends for the Negro as a race. It is also true that the more friendly the white people become to the Negro as a race the easier it becomes for the individual Negro to make friends and win favor for himself. The individual Negro who is doing well in any capacity, however exalted or however humble, is by his individual success rendering true aid to the Negro who in the blaze of publicity is seeking to make friends for the race as a whole. The capacity and the capability of the Negro is what it is, be it great or small and is simply be reckoned as one of the facts, but the effort to uplift the race must deal with the task of increasing the opportunities of the individuals. When the mere color of a man excites the ill feelings of the white people that man will have few chances to make life a success. In order to gain opportunities for the individuals of the race it is requisite that the general feeling of the community should be favorable to the progress of the race. If the people of a particular community are bitterly prejudiced against persons who have red hair and individual with a red head would have little chance of advancement in such a community and must either --- GEO.

A black skin is no more an indication of either worth or demerit than is a red head. If the opportunities of an individual are seriously diminished by prejudice against either the one or the other his wisest course is not that of trying to dye his hair or bleach his skin, but the more hopeful and rational one of trying to soften the prejudice and win favor.

THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW YERKENS REPRESENTS BEST TRADICTIONS OF THE NEW SOUTH THE FITTIEST TIMBER OFFERED By that Section for Cabinet or Bench -Chase Endorses Booker Washington's Philosophy-Sharps and Flats of Wide Range. (Staff Correspondence.) As the inauguration of President Roosevelt approaches speculation is rife as to the representation the South is to receive in the formation of the cabinet or in the judiciary selections. Several names are being brought forward and merits of the men are being freely discussed. As the southland is the natural home of the Negro the caliber of the man who is to represent that section at the President's table of advisers or on the federal bench is of vital moment to our people. It behooves the leaders of the race in political and journalistic life to be on the alert in this matter and see to it that sentiment is crystalized in favor of a stanchion friend of justice to all citizens and who is too big and broad to be moved by such petty considerations as color or condition. In places of such power and influence we want men who are sound to the core on all questions touching human rights and whose loyalty to the faith of Lincoln and Grant and Summer and Morton has stood the test for years. We want a man who is as sturdy in his insistence upon "a square deal" as Theodore Roosevelt himself. Without reflecting upon the quality of other gentlemen of the South who may be mentioned for the cabinet or the bench; we are of the opinion that the very best and most acceptable timber would be Hon. John W. Yerkes of Kentucky. He is the present Commissioner of Internal Revenue and the Kentucky member of the national committee. In both capacities he is giving his country and his party the highest grade of service. He is the acknowledged leader of the party in his state and counts no sacrifice too great to be made in its behalf. By the exercise of rare tact and executive ability he has united the hitherto warring factions and blue grass Republicans are in better fighting trim today than they have been since the campaign of 1896. In the recent contest the party made substantial gains and the lion's share of the credit is conceded upon all sides to be due to Mr. Yerkes, whose remarkable genius for organization was made apparent to friend and foe. Mr. Yerkes is a scholar of exceptional parts; a lawyer of brilliance and depth; an orator of pleasing and forceful address, ranking with the finest in a commonwealth famous for orators; an able defender of Republican principles and a gentleman whose public and private life are alike without reproach. In President Roosevelt's cabinet or on the bench he would be an honor to the South, representing her loftiest ideals and best traditions, and would prove a tower of strength to the administration. Mr. Yerkes would be eminently satisfactory to the colored people of the South and the country at large. This is an age in which the lifter and not the leaner triumphs. The doer of the word secures results while the mere hearer is only in the way. The man who works builds up; the whiner retards the progress of the industrious. Our sometimes stubborn contemporary, the Washington Bee, has come to realize the truth of this philosophy. In an unguarded burst of frankness last week Brother Chase declared: "If the colored man would forget the brutalities of the past and endeavor to build himself up on an economic basis his citizenship would not be a question of conjecture but a fact." If the Bee isn't exceedingly careful it will find itself on the front seat of Booker Washington's band wagon, for in the paragraph quoted the veteran journalist of the nation's capital unwillingly endorses what everybody knows is the cardinal principle of the Tuskegee system. Now that Brother Chase and Dr. Washington can stand in amity upon the same platform we are ready for the millennium.

New Orleans, La., Special.—Thenight of December 1st is one that will long be remembered by the members of the Iroquois Literary and Social club of this city. Tae event that makes that night memorable in the club's history was the complimentary banquet tendered by the members in honor of the election of President Roosevelt and in recognition of the effective services of Hon. Walter L. Cohen, president of the club; Lawyer J Madison Vance, member of the governing committee; and W. S. Wilson, Esq., rendered the Republican National Committee through the North in the recent campaign. Each one of these party workers returned home bearing from the National Committee commendable words of appreciation for their work. Proud of the record they had made and earnest efforts they had put forth in the interest of the Republican ticket the members of the thr club who are every ready to give their testimonial of appreciation for the work of their leaders arranged a banquet which, in point of excellence, has not yet been equaled among the colored people of this state. The spacious parlor of the club rooms was artistically decorated by John W Boyd, a member of the club, and the table, forming the letter 'I' extended the entire length, accomm dating COL JAMES LEWIS. seventy-five plates. At the head of the table sat the distinguished guests. At 9 oclock the master of ceremonies seated the banqueters and the further duty of toastmaster was masterfully carried out by Col. James Lewis.

Dejole, Sr., in a happy vein conveyed the club's congratulations to the guests of honor. "Booker Washington and His Work" furnished a talk from Hon. Walter L. Cohen, who paid a glowing tribute to the "Wizard of Tuskegee," proposing a toast to his health which was drank standing. "The Patriotism of the Colored Voters to the Republican Party," was ably responded to by Thomas W. Wickham. Dr. J. T. Newman, a leading physician, in an exhausted and learned manner discoursed on 'The Need of Leaders'" L. J. Jonbert, speaking on the theme "A Qualified Suffrage Honestly Applied," did great credit to himself for the intelligent way in which he discussed the subject, and in a clear convincing manner demonstrated the ability of the present generation of colored men in the disfranchising states to qualify as voters if only J.

MADISON VANCE. the suffrage laws were fairly and impartially executed, assuring the people of the South if this be done that the colored people would join in asking that the South's representation be not reduced. W. S. Wilson, E.q., spoke to the toast "The Iroquois Club." He was very witty and entertaining, provoking much mirth and laughter by his reference to the objects of the club and its personal of membership. The olimax of the affair came when Lawyer Vance arose to tell of the "Colored Orator in the Campaign." He received an ovation and his effort, both in point of finished oratory and elegance of language, surpassed any of the many efforts with which he had delighted his hearers in the past. He created much enthusiasm by his graphic description of the colored orator in the campaign and the strong appeals made on the stump to the voters to stand, which they did, as a unit for Roosevelt. His flights were sublime and literally carried one off his feet Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, who had been assigned the subject "Citizenship and its responsibility" was unable to be present and in lieu thereof sent a letter of regrets containing among its many lofty sentiments this: "Call Lincoln the Emancipator but Roosevelt the Protector."

Louisville, KY., Special.-Mr. Robert Larrie, of Indianapolis, has been visiting friends. In company with Miss Marguerite Merriman he was the guest of Mrs. Lola Stine Sunday. There are said to be suggestions of Cupid and orange blossoms in connection with Mr. Larrie's frequent trips here. Attorney W. H. Wright has been added to the faculty of the Central Law school. A well authenticated report says that Rev. T J. Brown, rector of the Church of Our Mercilful Savior, has received an official call to St. Luke's P. E., church, Washington and that he has accepted. His place here will be difficult to fill. The Citizens' National hospital is receiving handsome recognition at the hands of our several organizations of charity workers. So far the Good Samaritans, True Reformers, Phyllis Wheaty club and the Young Men's Relief association have each fitted up a room in the intitiation, the furnishings being models of neatness and convenience. The Medical College has about forty matriculants and is prospering. The entire establishment has been equipped with electric lights. The Research Cotterle, composed of ladies of the Fallis cities, was organized recently at the residence of Mrs. W. M. Langford, wife of the pastor of Jackson Street M E. chu. ch. The object of the Cotterle is to study the best literature, placing especial emphasis upon the works of Negro authors like Dunbar, Chestnutt, Griggs, Wheatley, Du Bois and Booker T. Washington. Mrs. Grace Lucas Thompson, of New Albany, was elected president of the organization with Mrs. Mary E Washington as chairman of the committee on program Editor W. D. Johnson, of the Kentucky Standard, has been on the slick list. Thomas Cole has put in a fine electric lighting plant at his popluar cafe and billiard hall, corner of Tenth and Walnut streets. Mr. Cole believes in keeping abreast with the times and his establishment is the most elegantly equipped and best patronized resort in the city. The Teachers's Institute will soon be able to announce their visiting lecturer of the year. Prof W. E B. Du Bois was chosen last winter. It has leaked out, however, that the friends of Dr. Washington who are in absolute control of Louisville's educational interests consented to bring the Atlanta professor here only with the explicit understanding that nothing would be said by him in opposition to the broad gugged and sensible system of mind and hand training practiced at Tuskegee Sentiment is very favorable to Mrs. Mary Church Terrell as the speaker for this year. She would fill any auditorium that might be engaged for the occasion. The Plasmodium, a paper published under the auspices of the Louisville National Medical College, is soon to appear with Dr. W. O Vance as editor in chief. W. A. Roberson, expert inspector of hardware at the Quartermaster's depot, Jeffersonville is an inventor of note. He has patents on several inventions that promise excellent results. William Watson, who has a large undertaking establishment at the corner of Chestnut and Tenth streets, is the only colored member of the National Association of Funeral Directors, the admission fee to which is $500. There is a prestige attached to this membership and certain commercial privileges which make it a highly valuable business asset. Mr. Watson is in great demand because of his skill and courtesy, and his beautiful home is gracefully presided over by Mrs. Lavinia Watson, whose fame as a hostess has spread far beyond the confines of Kentucky and the Middle West. Both are enthusiastic members of the National Negro Business League and will attend the New York convention next August. Mrs. Anna Stevenson has returned to Indianapolis after a pleasant visit to Mrs. Adam Wakefield. The affairs of the Odd Fellows' Hall Association have taken on a more hopeful aspect since J. J. C. McKinley assumed charge of the financial interests of the body. Genuine progress is now being made toward wiping out the big debt on the hall and in course of time it will be paying attractive dividends. Some needed improvements in the building will be made at an early date.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER SATISFACTION GUARANTEED THE WAITER. Edited By W. FORREST GOZART. WAITERS' MANUAL. WAITERS' MANUAL. HOW TO CLEAN SILVERWARE, BRASS, ETC. (Copyrighted 1888 by W. Forrest Cozart.) Cleaning the silverware is the most important branch of work the waiters have to perform. Every head waiter should pay particular attention to this part of the work. Of course there are some hotels in which the waiters have nothing to do with the cleaning of the silver, but, as a general rule, the waiters are expected to keep all the silverware in good condition. Special attention must be given to the teaspoons, as they turn black so easily, especially when used with hard boiled eggs. No knife, fork or spoon should be placed on the table without a thorough examination to see that it is in first class condition; in fact, silver should always be bright and clean. Silverware should have a thorough cleaning once a week. This includes soup-tureens, coffee and tea pots, ladles, dish covers, silver trays, casters, etc. All articles should be counted at the weekly cleaning. The best way to clean silverware is to first wash it in not hot water, then mix some whiting with cold water. Rub this on the silverware thoroughly with a soft cloth, then, when it begins to dry, rub it off with a clean dry cloth and polish the silver with a soft flannel or chamois skin. The best powder for cleaning silver, I believe, is electro silicon, which I highly recommend; full instructions given with each box. There is nothing that keeps brass cleaner than constant daily rubbing. There are many good articles used for cleaning brass, but I consider Putz pomade the best. After cleaning the brass thoroughly with the pomade, polish it off with electro-silicon or any other whiting. A mixture of bran, salt and vinegar may be used, but nothing containing acid should be used on brass, as it will make it tarrish. It very often happens that such things as salt and pepper shakers and mustard cruets become useless because of the wear of the threads, so that the tops will not stay on because there is nothing to hold them. To mend these mix up a little plaster-of-paris and stick them on, lay them aside until they are thoroughly dry, at which time they will be ready for use. The plaster-of-paris must be used as soon as mixed, as it is useless when dry, and it hardens very rapidly. FIGURING FOR PROFIT. I find from experience and observation as a side and headwaiter that one-third of the waiters cannot figure the exact amount they should receive per day or for a fractional part of a day. I more fully realize this fact since becoming a headwaiter. Every pay-day there are one or two waiters who, if they do not make full time during the month, cannot figure out the exact amount due them, and, as a rule, they are not satisfied with the amount paid to them until some other waiter or the headwaiter figures it out and assures them that they have all that is due them. Some waiters go to the extreme with regard to this and enter into an argument with the cashier or manager, and even insult them. On the other hand, sometimes a cashier will take advantage of the waiter's ig norance and will not pay him all that is due In order to avoid any occurrence of this kind I have prepared the following examples, believing that they will fill a long-felt want, in which the hotel managers, cashiers and head and sidewalters will be saved much trouble: INDIVIDUAL HOTEL DIRECTORY [One address line £2.00 per year; including subscription to The Freeman, in advance.] HEADWAITERS.

Hotel Reformer—First class in all respects 900 N. 6th street, Richmond, Va. A. W. Holmes, manager. Example 1. At a salary of $15 00 per month, one receives fifty cents a day, thirty days constituting a month. In order to find this result divide $15 00 by 30 and you will get 50, which is the answer. Example 2 At a salary of $20 00 per month, one receives sixty-six and two-thirds cents a day. Twenty divided by thirty equals sixty-six and two-thirds; answer. Example 3 At a salary of $22.00 per month, one receives 73½ cents a day. Twenty-two divided by 30=73½; answer. Example 4 At $25 00 per month one receives 88½ cents per day. Twenty five divided by 30=88½; answer. In some hotels the cashier does not recognize thirty days as a month when paying for a fractional part of a month. If the month carries thirty-one days they figure accordingly. At this rate, if one is getting $25.00 per month, he only receives 80 cents plus a part of a cent per day; 25 divided by 81 gives this result, 80 cents. This rule is only resorted to, however, when a waiter works only a fractional part of a month. If a waiter works one meal, at the rate of $25.00 per month, he receives for that meal one-third of a day's work (83½) which is 27½ cents. If he works two meals he will receive two-thirds of 83½ cents, which is 55½ cents. I give only a few examples, as these are the average salaries; paid to side-waiters. To tell how much money is due you for a certain number of days' work observe the following rule: Your salary, for instance, is $22 00 per month, and you receive your time, which calls for 13 days' work. Now, in order to find out how much money is due you, multiply 22 by 13, which will give the number 286; divide this number by the number of days in that month. If it be 30 days, divide by 30, and you will get 953 and ten-thirtieths. Ten-thirtieths is equal to one-third, there fore you would receive nine dollars fifty-three cents and one-third of a cent ($9 53/) for your service. This same rule can be applied to any salary you may receive. RULE—Multiply the wages per month by the number of days you work and divide by the number of days in the month. PORTER'S TIPS A SNUG SUM. Pullman Employee Reaps Harvest From Generous Travelers. Jersey City, N. J., Special—An insight into the generosity of the traveling public in dealing with Pullman car porters was furnished by James A Moss in his suit for damages against the North Jersey Street Railway Company of Jersey City. Moss testified that his tips averaged from $20 to $50 weekly. His salary, he said, was $35 a month. Moss was injured in a collision of trolley cars, and sues to recover $5 000. In the above case Moss evidently exaggerated the profit derived from tips in order to make out a strong case against the company. It is such exaggerations, however, as the above that has greatly damaged the Pullman porter's chances of a livelihood. In recent years the porters salaries have been reduced in most cases and expensive uniforms and other injustice has been heaped upon them on account of such public declarations as that made by Moss and other irresponsible porters. Some porters have a habit of buying expensive street wear, and when asked by some of the poor white employees how much such a suit, shoes or hat cost they give a price three times more than the actual cost, the white employee, in turn, makes it a point to call one of the superior or subordinate officer's attention to such and such a porter and remarks, "tips on that run must be good." As a result the news reaches the headquarters or superintendent and the salary of the porters on that run is reduced so much per month. The porter in question quits, gets fired or gets a new run, and some married man with a big family to support is given the run where he is unable to make money enough to support his family, while the irresponsible porter, perhaps, has been transferred to some other run where, by using the same tactics, he soon kills another good thing, for which, as a general thing, the innocent have to suffer. The same is true of colored waiters; they always advertise the tips they make and quite often exaggerate the amount three-fold. They spend money and dress (sometimes) like an English lord, and pretty soon, with the assistance of an inexperienced headwaiter, the salaries of the waiters are reduced because they are making so much money, all the result of a few fools who play as tools in the "white folks" hand. The editor has written many special articles on this subject, and also mentioned it in the Walters' Manual, but it seems as fast as we head off one set of fools several Ice for Sale. All orders promptly attended to 810,812&814 CLAY ST., LOUISVILLE, KY. "sets" of others appear in the arens. The editor will, at some future date, write a series of articles on the Pullman Car Porters who, like walters, always kill themselves and their fellow porters by their effort to out do and out-lie some other fellow. THE HOTEL MAN BY C ARTHUR WILLIAMS Owing to conditions brought about partly by the shiftlessness and thongtlessness often characteristic in a great many young men, I lost the rare opportunity of a college education, and in casting about in search of a means of livelihood that would be best adaptable for my not altogether enterprising disposition, I familiarized myself with dining room service. I adopted it with a feeling that I was taking my first steps toward permanent deprivation and a sacrifice of the many good moral friends it has ever been my pleasure to enjoy the association of, but after two years of service association with hotel men I can truthfully say that, taking them as a whole, a more charitable and congenial body of men cannot be found, and any man that becomes morally careless by following table waiting in first class hotels for a livelihood is too mentally weak to resist his naturally depraved tendencies. The private morals of the hotel men have often been scored against, and indeed in some communities they are alleged to be such as to merit his exclusion from select circles. I must protest against that accusation as unjust. Every profession, trade and labor has some few followers whose actions are a discredit to it. We hotel men are judged collectively according to the conduct of a few careless members, and at every turn we that merit respect find ourselves more or less discriminated against for no other reason than that we are hotel waiters. It is true that table waiting is not conceded to be a very high ambition, but it has been used many times as a pleasant and profitable stepping stone to something higher and better. A great many of our prominent race men have at some time in their career followed table waiting for a livelihood. You can also find among the waiters, probably, more variety of character, intelligent, eccentric and unique than among any other body of men. One especially, an ex-head waiter of the old school, afforded me such interesting study that I was moved to rhyme. Our work was invariably referred to as "didoes," and to see a few of us grouped together talking gaye him a suspicion that we were concocting a scheme to have him removed. That was called "aggittatin." Every noon his lecture would be along these lines: "Fust I calls yo' 'tention to de fac' ob makin' time, An' if yo' draps some silvah yo' suhtiny draps a dime. An' if 'mong de bestes you would lak to be a ratin' Go an' do yo' di does an' quit yo' aggitatin' An' nth' on de program is dis talkin' in de room; Nex' one ketch a dolin' it I'll flah him sho' as doom.

We send best wishes to Billy Kersands and company, Williams & Walker and company and all the profession. John L. Mulligan writes from Savannah, Ga.—We have just passed the most delightful Christmas in our memory, the crowning feature of which was a visit to the city of that master showman, Pat Chappelle, with his famous comedy, "A Rabbit Foot." There were two performances, matinee and night. The company kept its huge audiences in an uproar of laughter from start to finish. This excellent show, like good wine, improves with age, and its astute owner spares neither pains nor money to make it a success. Notes rom Williams & Stevens' Hottest Coon in Dixie Company.—We are still doing a nice business. Everybody is well except Mr. Tack. Crossen, who, on the 21st of December stuck a nail in his foot. Blood poison set in and has caused him a great deal of trouble. At this writing he is much better. We gave two shows at Atchison, Kas., Dec. 24th to good business. At Leavenworth the S. R. O. sign was out at 8 o'clock. In Topeka the S. R. O. sign was out at 8:10 p. m. Allie Brown, the hoop roller and wire walker, joined us there. He has been spending a few months visiting his people and preparing his act for the next season. He sends regards to all. Chas. H.

Rice and Barton and their glorious Big Gayetty Company begin a week's engagement at the Empire Theater, Monday, Jan. 9. Every one of the two score features of this colossal production is selected for its superlative merit and powers of pleasing. Lovely women abound in the swiftly moving scenes and ensembles, and the color, scheme and light effects are marvels of electrical art. Charley Barton, the major general of comedians, is in front with a new and inexhaustible supply of fun that keeps his audience roaring and applauding to the point of button bursting and glove splitting, and he is ably seconded by Bert Baker, monologist, who, with a score of versatile singing, dancing and grotesque merry makers, form a human avalanche of laugh creators. The costumes are of the newest Parisian make, expensive in material and tasteful in color, scheme and design. The scenery is new and gorgeous and every detail used in this Leviathan offering is supplied by Messrs. Rice and Barton. Speaking of this attraction, par excellence, the Cincinnati Times-Star of recent date says 'Rice and Barton's Gayetty company, the biggest and best of the burlesque and vaudeville attractions now traveling, opened to two capacity houses at the People's, and the show is even better than WILLIAMS ever before. There are lots of changes in the members, and the numbers on the bill so much so that one would hardly believe that they ever saw them before were it not for the funny expression of Mr. Barton, whose superb comedy method places him in a unique position as a perfectly original comedian. Music, singing, dancing and high class specialities follow each other with marvelous speed and the effect produced is satisfactory in the highest degree." "A Hot Old Time," a favorite at the Park Theater since Johnny Ray first appeared in it years ago, comes to that theater again next Monday. It is arrayed in its old brilliancy with added lustre in fresh songs and jokes. The company presenting this medley of music and fun is now headed by William McRobie, whose impersonation of "Sandy McPherson," which Ray used to play, has stamped him as a comedian of convincing methods. The most notable feature of the production this year is Ami Hill, a character change artist, who, a short time ago, returned from a long tour of India and Australia. One of the biggest shows coming to the Park is "The Errand Boy," the engagement beginning next Thursday. The company of fifty-two is headed by Billy Van, one of the foremost comedians. The production is akin to a comic opera, since it tells a well defined story of a country storekeeper who built a monument in the form of an opera house and sends for a company to come from Boston to dedicate the theater. Of course the town is so small that the company becomes stranded and the fun is fairly heaped up in the attempts of the playes to get back home. Billy Van plays the part of the errand boy. He has for years been well known in vaudeville, and has few rivals as a fun maker. Rose Beaumont, for years with Weber & Fields' great productions, heads the feminine contingency. There are a dozen other principals. The songs presented number about twenty, all of them by different composers. The production is enriched by gorgeous stage pictures. Napoleon Johnson writes from Georgia Minstrels.—Now that our week's lay off is at an end we have started out again seem- BENEDICT ENG CO. N.Y. AND WALKER. nightly singing "Just Give Me the Leavings" and "If I Ever Lay My Hands Upon that Coon." In the oilo, giving his impersonations of different characters, he leaves them screaming. P. B. Ross Hendrix's Chicago Notes.—To begin with, I have been confined to my bed for the past four weeks, but am now convalecent. I wish all the profession a successful new year. I had the pleasure of meeting my old friend Charles Williams, the comedian of the Hottest Coon in Dixie company, and was glad to hear of the success the entire company is meeting with, and was also glad to know that Daddy Henderson is still amongst the live ones and making a hit with his band. We all know what the professor can do. Pittman and Spiller have to-day one of the best musical sketches that is appearing upon the stage, barring none. These two boys deserve great credit for they are both gentlemen of culture and hard workers in their line. Mr. Spiller has become quite a music composer, writer and arranger, so, if he and Mr. Pittman go hand in had together, they will be prominent before the public and will always appear upon the bills as the stars. I would like to hear from Caldwell and Taylor, the comedians. I am glad to note the success my friend, Prof. Frank C. Clermont, the eminent composer, arranger, writer and band instructor is meeting with. I hope he will regain his health entirely. The great and only "Smart Set," the long talked of company, has at last arrived and departed. We can truthfully say, with one or two exceptions, that the Smart Set company is to-day one of the leaders of comedy. There are companies who have won a wide reputation who come here and play the Great Northern, but the Smart Set company could play the Grand or McVickers and be a box office attraction for either house. It is a first class company. S. H. Dudley as G. Washington Bullison, is as funny and as entertaining as can be. In fact he is a No. 1 comedian. We all know the ability of J. Ed. Green, so enough said. Lawrence Chenault is always there with the goods, and is not afraid to deal it out to you. Jerry Mills is always good and full of life to any show. Marlon Smart carried away the honors as Mrs. Dewar. Hattie ```markdown ``` Hopkins was received with great applause. Mr. Bailey's rendition of "Back, Back, Back to Baltimore" brought cheer after cheer. All their songs were new and catchy. The costuming is rich and tasty. Every act moved along like clock work. The show is refined all the way through, and should they play a return engagement they will be more than cordially received. In fact they could play a run of four or five weeks and draw big crowds at each performance. As space will not permit us to speak of each individual as I would like to can only say they are a No.1 support to the principals. You are on the right track, and no matter what the comments of some know-all critic may be, you will be the winners. In fact you have Williams and Walker skinned to death. Mr. Dudley has the right idea of what comprises a good first class comedian. He just holds his audience long enough to not become a drone upon them, thereby causing them to appreciate his act. Through the stage management of J. Ed. Green there is life in the play from beginning to end, there not being a lapse of a second but what is being utilized. The show to-day is one hundred percent better than when it was first produced. While filling their engagement at the Columbus the S. R. O. sign was put up, both at matinee and evening. Prof. Henderson Smith, by not being able to get down to headquarters, your letter was not received until to-day. Good luck to you and wife and a happy new year. Ray Trusty, the real comedian, played a successful engagement at the Pekin. He sends regards to his many friends. The Nightengale Quartette, under the management of the Winchell Bureau, are meeting with great success and receiving high and commendable press notices. The roster is composed of Messrs. George Walker, Charles Mars, J. Turner, J. Johnson, Mme. Virginia Greene and Mme. Turner. Prof. Johnson sends regards to Goode and professional friends.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. HON. ISAAC T. MONTGOMERY, Mound Baycu, Miss. PENCILINGS. By W. Milton Lewis, Indianapolis, Ind. Indianapolis, 'colored' Indianapolis, threatens to wake up and join in the singing to the tune of "500,000" or "Greater Indianapolis" for the near future. New institutions are being talked of which promise to make good for the great desideratum; they are a long felt want and can not come any too soon. Formidable financial concerns officered from 'stem to stern' by colored men will be the unusual but the expected in view of present conditions out of which is not extended the glad hand, helping colored men into established enterprises. It is plain enough that it is up to the colored people to create enterprises of their own; they are essential to race growth and development. The problem of employing the young men and women of the Negro race is the problem within a problem and performance of circumstances belongs peculiarly to the race. At first blush it appears a difficult thing, yet opportunities to get on are afforded that do not come to white men which of course is also due to the race question. We are inclined to lament because the doors of commercial houses and counting rooms do not swing wide open to all, taking it as a one to sit idly by gazing, only, at the passing show. There is not a single thing in the way of colored men engaging in these better concerns; their own accounts and thus provide for the better subsistence of our prospective quota of the 500,000. As much headway as possible has been made on the race's present stock of experiments; it will have to make inventory, increase stock as a basis for future operations. It has been in the past as a "one brick" foundation structure and which has been overworked; the substructure will have to be broadened for the support of what is possible in the future—now is the time to do it. in the rearing of the new enterprises based on this greater foundation of experience and endeavor will be hope for the young men and women. It is the only sure means of furnishing the kind of employment that will appeal to those sent out from the schools. It is not too much to say that opportunities in the past have gone by default. But it will not do to charge criminal negligence as may be successfully charged against those that neglect their own; it is a result based on the hope that the day would soon come when the white man's prejudice would not serve as a bar to any of the institutions of the land. There has been disappointment. It's 13 WE REPRODUCE THE NEW CHAPEL TUSKEGEE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL, TUSKEGEE, ALA. an ill wind that blows nobody good, according to the old saw, and out of the so-called untoward circumstances we are able, if we but will it, to carve out a commercial empire right in the heart and heat of the fiercest struggle for supremacy known to the world. To discourse on the, why colored men are not expected in all pursuits, would be to rehearse the story of the races from Jamestown to Richmond. The story is well known. This consolation through it all; we are not denied doing for ourselves. It is not necessary to make face at the white man for whatever his failings may be, he has no objection to colored people buying and selling among themselves. It is one of WE REPRODUCE THE NEW CHA the peculiar things of American life and gives the lie to the proposition that white men are jealous of the success of Negroes and seek to impede their material growth. There is opposition; there is prejudice, but not based on the score of business prosperity. As things go it is but fair to assume that some envy may be expected, such as that displayed by the unsuccessful as against the successful regardless of the race idea. Opposition may develop in the future when the Negro becomes an actual competitor. At this time he has plaui sailing in the race and is encouraged in any thing he may do in a business way. He is viewed as a commercial novice in- --- deed a commercial monstrosity I sometimes thinks—the something new under the sun. Whether this complacency continues remains to be seen. It may turnout in the end something like the hare and tortoise story when of course blankety blank may be expected in the camp. The fight at this time is to conquer race prejudice right within the race. If it is conquered then the thousands that are coming on can confidently look forward to better employment. It would mean the establishment of hundreds of industries and business enterprises that would take up our flotsom and jetsam as it were, that infest the popular thoroughfares. Thousands can be em- PEL TUSKEGEE NORMAL AND INDUS ployed. It is no theory; they can be employed; the race has wants; these wants can be supplied by the race. Will it do it? THREE GREATEST MEN. John Morely, the noted English statesman, after his visit to this country told a friend that the three greatest men he had met in the United States were Theodore Roosevelt, Booker Washington and C. W. Eliot. This will not make Morely popular in the South, but one can see easily enough that Mr. Morley has reason enough for his judgment. The president is the big force in American politics today. Now that the campaign is over his suppressed energy is hunting for escape valves and is going to make the history of American politics in the next four years. Booker Washington will make history in the solution of the race problem of this country if there is any solution to be worked out. President Eliot is making history by sending into every field of work young men who carry out the training he gives them, and also the Harvard president, by force of his own personality, impresses his views on other Americans who come into touch with him—so that Dr. Eliot is constantly putting big ideas into circulation among all classes of Americans until TRIAL SCHOOL, TUSKEGEE, ALA. they work out into national movements that affect all the people. No dynamo yet built has the power that drives restlessly out of the office of the president of Harvard college. PUGHSLEY'S CIGAR, TOBACCO AND NEWS DEPOT. Refreshing soft drinks.

MARTH tells your entire life—present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE. You've met. You've met. In tests she tells your mother's before marriage, the name of all your family their ages and description, the name and bushes of your future husband, the name of your father, the name of your young man who now calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage—how many children you have or will have—whether you are married or not, how many children you will be true to you and if he will marry you, you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name but names and date of birth. In the TURE will be told in an honest, clear, plain and in a dead trance. Mother's should know the success of their husbands and children, young ladies should know everything about their families, and do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all, do not let sly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Mackenzie is the one in the world who would be FULLY MARRIED if your fa- ure 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 the medium. It is only from the medium that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not everyone who placards himself or herself as a Medium that can stand a t of what he advises him. It is not everyone who advises mind may ask the reason why. It is not those advisers do not take the trouble to study human nature. They do not spend time on human nature when acquiring the art of phrenology and kindness that will have a t-education to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of obstacles. It is an available fact that persons will comfort a service—in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to know so as to hear if it will be relied upon the Medium. To get the secret out of a person by "pumping," in no few cas, as the art used by many unprincipled Mediums, but 'to take care of them,' is not possible. There is, is a matter of impossibility to cost of them And yet this can be done, and by consulting MRS MARTH this seeming mystery this subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professor. This proves conclusively that although a service is in mind with "oily tongues" that may be received, not have been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become a accomplished shed, medium, and by a continuous motion of mind, to be able to depar- ently unfathomable mysteries have been procured by MRS.

COAL RACE CLEANINGS Our Journalists and Literary Folks Miss Hazel Harrison, a young lady pianist, who, it will be remembered, left for Berlin in the early part of autumn with the Philharmonic Orchestra is meeting with marked success. Appended is one of Miss Harrison's Berlin press notices: 'Saturday evening a youthful pianist, Hazelda Harrison, was heard in the Singakademic, with the Philharmonic Orchestra, under August Scharrer The artist show great talent and an excellent technic. Quite especially beautiful and soft is her piano, while one could have wished for a little more strength in the forte places. She played Chopin's F minor and Greig's A minor concertos. Her playing does not yet reveal personal conception and in dependence, but it shows so much musical intelligence that we are justified in expecting much from her further development."—Dentsher Reichsanzelger, October 25, 1904 John S. Leary, who was the first Negro in North Carolina to obtain a license to practice law, is dead. He was born a slave, but was very highly educated. He was several times a delegate to the Republican national conventions, was dean of the law school of Shaw University at Raleigh, this being one of the largest colored schools in the country, practiced law at Raleigh, Fayetteville and Charlotte, was a writer, and often furnished articles for the leading North Carolina newspapers having the confidence of the best men BOOK. BOOK The well-known author, E. A. Johnson, has essayed a new book making. He will be remembered for his school history of the Negro race in America the object of which was to set out the greater doings of the individuals and also institutions conducted for and by the race. His history of Negro soldiers in the Spanish-American war a later production has been favorably received. His very latest work shows him as ambitious to join the ranks of fiction writers. "Light Ahead for the Negro" is something on the order of Bellamy's "Looking Backwards" and in which he pictures the race a hundred years hence It is autobiographic. The writer is lost in an airship through failure in controlling the machinery; he loses consciousness owing to the attitude gained and in this state of suspended animation he is the child of the capricious air when at last he finds himself rubbing his eyes in a village in Georgia, a hundred years in the future. The conception while not wholly original is unique for the purpose. The writer is able to contrast the past and the then present condition. The past as he pictures it is no more than the very present which is evident to all. He is liberal in his citations, pointing out recent editorial that actually occurred in the papers of to-day bearing on mob practices and other civil irregularities and which he finds much different in his newer day. He is inclined to be optimistic the condition on the whole is much improved, but he does not seem quite satisfied with the "gentry" of the classes of young people. The white people will not hold the Negroes so much in derision and the newspapers will refrain from insulting headlines and abusive epithets intended especially for the Negro according to the writer. The writer allows a woman on the scene, but she play no consipuous part; it might have better if she had been permitted to do so. But it is evident that the writer had simply the problems in mind and very little time for by plays. The author is versatile, of lofty and commanding language. The volume sheds light on the racial situation, the result of research and studious effort. Published by the Grafton Press, New York.

The entire building is heated with steam and has all modern conveniences such as electric lights, hot and cold water, etc. In the city of New York, shortly, fifteen clergymen and elders interested in the work of educating the Southern Negro preacher, gave a dinner last night to the Rev. S. G. Miller, superintendent of the John C. Martin fund work. This fund, which approximates $200,000, is to be used for educating Negro clergymen of all denominations.

Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelpela. It is a compilation of his poetical efforts from time to time. The doctor's poems are not of varying moods so indicative of the born poet but are so many evidences of the scholar, the classlistic who puts well clothes to rhyme. He classifies his productions as Racial, Memorial, Tributary and Miscellaneous. The A. M E Church of which he is a member comes in for a good share of attention. The church is admirably served; and perhaps the volume was written for that purpose, panegyrizing its bishops, distinguished divines, laymen and its institutions. His other productions, racial and miscellaneous are intended to portray the present racial condition and of course for helping it. Dr. Johnson is one of the distinguished members of his church and stands for the blahoprio. His volume will doubtless be considered a contribution to the literature of the race. ave You Tried it?
