NUMBER 9 INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1905 PRICE FIVE CENTS THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS AS- SUME THE REINS A PRESIDENT IN HIS OWN BIGHT Two Typical Americans and a Brilliant National Outlook-Fairbanks for 1908-Reforms Promised for the Ensuing Dqrennium. Staff Correspondent. On the day that this letter meets the eye of the reader there will enter upon his duties as President of the United States in his own right a typical American—one whose long and faithful public career from state legislator to the chief magistracy has shown him to be eminently worthy of the exited honor so enthusiastically bestowed upon him by a people quick to appreciate sterling qualities in their chosen leaders. The nation's elected President begins his full term under auspices exceptionally favorable and with a popular admiration unparalleled in history. He faces difficulties but he has a united nation behind him and prosperous conditions about him. Theodore Roosevelt is more than a mere administrator of affairs. He is an active, potential force in the constructive phases of government. He is a man of loes and ideals—broader than section, loftier than parity and superior to prejudices based upon race, color, creed or condition. By birth an aristocrat, his intense sympathies for the masses have made him a democrat—in the purest sense of the word. He brings to the office of Chief Executive a refreshing candor, a singular directness of method—an originality, independence and personality so rare as to render him at once the most interesting and most effective primate known to modern civilization. Theodore Roosevelt does not follow public sentiment; he creates it. He does not follow precedents; he establishes them. He takes his cae from no clique or clan; he is moved by no influence save his conception of what is right and just. At no time in the history of this country since the crises which Abraham Lincoln met and conquered have we so solely felt the need of a verile, fearless and skillful hand at the helm of our ship of state as now, and we may deem ourselves favored of the gods that the whirligig of events has given us at this opportune moment a statesman so steady, able, patriotic, philosophical, honest, resourceful and thorough going as Theodore Roosevelt. Indeed, and in truth, he is President of all the people. With so many vital reforms in progress and countless others in contemplation the President will travel no primrose path in the next four years. Yet, the coming quadrennium promises to be the most fruitful period in the life of the republic. Our relations with the powers of the earth, our attitude toward the Philippines and the West India islands, the construction of the Panama canal, the adjustment of tariffs, the regulation of railroads and public utilities, the development of foreign and domestic commerce, the mutual right of labor and capital, the Americanization of heterogeneous groups of alien humanity, equality of citizenship for every man, the nice balancing of national benefits among the geographical divisions of our land—all combine to place upon our shoulders a burden of responsibilities unparalleled in gravity and fundamental importance. Not second to these trying commercial and industrial problems, there are far reaching moral and educational reforms that press for attention. They cut into the fiber and affect the very warp and wool of our national existence. Of these, naturally, the so called "race problem" touches the Negro most keenly, for upon its final and equitable solution hangs the future status of 10,000,000 people who have been solemnly pledged the precious bone to complete citizenship by the Constitution of the United States. That President Roosevelt is fully conscious of the seriousness of the questions of machood rights surface, limitations, industrial opportunity and moral improvement, bound up in the station's duty to the dark skinned race abiding among us is well attested by his magnificent Lincoln day speech. He told the whole truth, blinking no fact, however distasteful, and impartially placing praise and blame where each properly belonged. We are STATE GUARD HELD AT BAY. INDIANAPOLIS MAR 4, 1905 PUBLIC LIBRARY VARDAMAN SOCIAL EQUALITY NEGRO STATE GUARD GOVERNOR MUNICIPAL TREASURE. TO THE INAUGARATION. GHAYWOOD 03- Authority is a dangerous weapon in the hands of some people. confident of the President's earnest cooperation in the labor of uplifting the Negro and feei that he regards the country as bound in honor to grant us "a square deal" and guarantee of a man's chance in the struggle for existence. No one expects a Negro to be preferred anywhere by reason of his color. We shall be content with the practical carrying out of the assurance that color will not prove a bar to the door of hope. The beginning of the new administration seems to be a harbinger of better things for the progressive Afro-American. If the Negro faithfully does his part there is no doubt that Mr. Roosevelt will meet him more than half way. Along with the President there will be inducted into office today as vice president another man no less a typical American than Mr. Roosevelt, in the person of Indiana's favorite son, Charles Warren Fairbanks. Richly endowed with mental gifts, ripe in experience as a guardian of valuable interests and measuring up to the statesmanly demands of the place to which he might be called by fate as Mr. Roosevelt was three and a half years ago. Senator Fairbanks is a commanding figure in the political life of the country. He comes of good old abolition stock—the sturdy yeomanry who laid the foundation of liberty in our land and whose corner stone was that homely, simple and wholesome principle—equal and exact justice to all. Because of this he has permanently endeared himself to his colored constituency in Indiana. He is the embodiment of dignity, wisdom and kindly spirit. He preaches the gospel of service and his central purpose is to live up to his own doctrine of doing for others that he may true happiness for himself. To men of friends attainment the vice presidency often proves a burying ground, but his friends may rest assured that it will not be a tomb for the very live Senator Fairbanks. As presiding officer of the United States Senate, his brilliance, energy and helpfulness in shaping national policies will keep him constantly to the fore and the impress of his constructive genius day by day will be too deep for a grateful country to lose sight of him. Senator Fairbanks will not violate standard proprieties but he will be far from a dead head as vice president—mark ye! Nineteen hundred and eight is some distance away and many things may happen in a rapid history making govern- INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1905. ment like ours, but we venture the prediction that former Senator Fairbanks will so grow upon the popular mind that the next national convention of his party will name him by a rousing majority as the natural and legitimate successor to Thodore Roosevelt, and he will be elected. The country can afford to follow where so capable an Indianian as Charles Warren Fairbanks leads. March 4 is always a red letter day for true Americans—in which goodly company the American-Negro is proud to be unrolled. We are looking forward—hopefully, patiently, prayerfully. R. W. THOMPSON.

(Copyrighted 1898 by W. Forrest Cozart.) Another headwalter discharged a waiter that came on duty intoxicated and created great exultement in the dining room when an attempt was made to eject him. After he was discharged this waiter went to the guests whom he served and informed them that he had been discharged by the headwalter, who disliked him because he paid too much attention to them, and had let him out for revenge. In turn the guests went to the manager and asked him to have this waiter reinstated, relating what he had told them. So the manager, without investigating the facts, promised to reinstate the waiter. Sending for the headwalter, the manager ordered him to put the waiter to work. This the headwalter refused to do, and informed the manager of the waiter's conduct. "I don't care what he did," replied the manager. "I promised to reinstate him and it must be done." The headwalter, seeing he had no protection when he was in the right, and that the manager was fully determined, resigned. Several of the old waiters were much pleased at the resignation of this headwalter, as he had enforced rules that were in the interest of the house, and now that he was gone they could return to their old habits of doing as they pleased. It is very important that managers should know that when a headwaiter endeavors to work for the interests of his employer he often displeases the waiters and they will not miss an opportunity to complain against him. On the other hand, if he allowed them to do as they pleased, though it be expensive to their employer, they would never complain. In some hotels there are certain classes of guests who, if they cannot have their favorite waiter and everything else just as they please, will form a dislike for the headwaiter, and on the least provocation will complain of him to the manager. I relate the above instance and leave it to the readers for decision. It may be said that a headwaiter with the proper qualities will cultivate such a friendly relation between himself and the crew under him that instances like the above stated will not occur, but in answer to this I will say that it is almost impossible for a headwaiter, who works for the interests of his employer, to have the good will of all his crew at all times. It very often happens that one is compelled to have guests served, if served at all, at the expense of one or more waiters. To this the waiter objects sometimes, thinking that another should have been selected, as he wat off watch or that the guest was at another waiter's table; again, it is the cook's fault, especially when it is an early or late meal being served. It matters not whose fault it is, the headwaiter must show the guest that he is doing everything in his power to have him or her served promptly. This, many times, displeases the waiter, thinking that he is doing more than his share of work. In the meantime the headwaiter has not the time to stop and explain to him why he is selected for this especial duty. Again, it may happen this way: A manager being engaged, enters upon his new duties with a desire to make a general improvement in the house, especially in the cuisine and dining room departments. He finds a headwaiter in charge of the dining room who has peculiarities and conducts himself in a way that the manager dislikes; therefore he reprimands him and requests him to modify his ways. This headwaiter, perhaps, has been in charge of the dining room for years and believes that his conduct is proper, and refuses or neglects to change his methods, so the manager employs another head- INDIVIDUAL HOTEL DIRECTORY [One address line $ 0.00 per year; including subscription to The Freeman, in advance.] HEADWATERS.

The manager instructs the new man as to the changes and improvements he wants made in the dining room. This man, of course, endeavors to carry out instructions, and first finds it necessary to make new rules and annul old ones. The old rules may have given the waiters certain privileges which the new ones curtail. This will displease those waiters who received favors from the former headwaiter. We will blame the new man for these changes, and from that time on some one or more of the crew will entertain bad feelings for him, which will show itself at the first opportunity. If the same crew is retained and the headwaiter continues to enforce the new rules, some of these old waiters will hatch a conspiracy to get B. SQU BLU B.

A few years ago, during the Harrison administration, I held a position in the Brooklyn navy yard. under the Master shipbuilder of the late U. S. S. "Maine" (political job, of course), under the same roof a bright white man (Republican of course) was employed. He had a trade, that of a factory shoemaker, but, like the writer, had taken the job as reward for his political work, during the Harrison campaign He had burned the "midnight oil," and we were soon literary companions and later fast friends. Time sped past; Cleveland succeeded Harrison, and one fine morning we awoke to find we were no longer navy employees. We kept track of each other for a few years and then drifted apart by the tide of busy New York life. A few months ago I received "Letter No. 1" from my old friend.

I appeal to you personally, as an old friend to aid us. You have great influence with and among the colored people of Brooklyn and New York. In union is strength and, if all the working people regardless of race or color would pull together, we could erush out trusts and scab labor.

Of course the very best of relations should exist between the steward, chef and headwaiter, yet it is quite often the case that these officers will do all they can to pull each other down. In this event the house is the sufferer and a change in one or two of the departments is the only remedy. Feeding the help, and especially the waiters, is often very annoying to the steward, headwaiter and the chef. (Continued) HENDERSON. Henderson, Ky., Special—Rev. P. S.

Do not come North until you hear from me again. Orange, N. J., May 2, 1904. Mr. A. M. Hodges: Dear Sir—I concluded that Texas was no place for me so, a few weeks ago, I came to Philadelphia, where I tried to get employment at my trade, but could not on account of my color. I went to an employment agency where I got my present job as coachman at $35 and board, and have no right to complain. Respectfully yours, AMOS B. CLARK. LETTER NUMBER SEVEN. 2000 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., May 4, 1904. Mr. A. B. Clark, Orange, N. J.: My Dear Sir—I am glad that you resolved to come North, as the "New South" (white) is no place for the progressive young Negro. Since your last communication I have dreaded to write to a white friend of mine—a shoemaker, who is president of the local union, to try and see if he can't get you a job.

My Dear Hodges—It gives me great pleasure to be able to do a good turn for you or any friend of yours. I will send by next mail (or as soon as I can get them from headquarters) application blanks. Let your friend fill them in and I will get him in our union and get him a job in our facto.y. 2000 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., { May 9, 1904 Mr. A. B. Clark, Orange. N. J.: Dear Sir—I have just received a communication from a personal friend, who is president of the Boot and Shoe Workers' Union No. 4 of Brooklyn, who is going to run you in the union, also the factory where he is employed. Do not do anything that will reflect upon our people as you will be the only colored man in the union. Please fill in the blanks and forward them to the secretary. LETTER NUMBER ELEVEN — (POSTAL CARD) Colgate Shoe Manufacturing Co., 4 Cedar Street, New York, May 21, 1904 Dear Hodges—Your friend was elected a member of our union last night by a standing vote. Tell him to report for work here Monday. Ask for me. Yours, etc. J. K. BUTT LETTER NUMBER TWELVE. 242 Warren Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., May 31, 1904 A. M. Hodges, Brooklyn, N. Y.: Dear Friend—Say, Hodges, you got me in a h—l of a hole by that Clark fellow. I did not know that he was a colored man until he presented his card and union card at the factory in Cedar street, New York. The shop was up in arms, and some of the teniers wanted to lynch me. Why didn't you tell me --- he was a colored man? I know he is a good workman in all the branches, but you know the feeling in our trade unions against colored man. Our union is made up with wild Irishmen and dumb Dutchman, who do not want to give a colored man a chance. It is no fault of mine. They called a special meeting I did not show up as I could not "face the music") and revoked Clark's membership. There is some talk of impaching me for "high treason." Do not feel sore, old boy, it was no fault of mine. Respectfully yours, J. K. BUTT. P. S.—I have just learned that our colored porter has left; send Clark over to the factory and I will get him the job. J. K. B. LETTER NUMBER TWELVE. 2000 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., } June 3, 1904 My Dear Butt—In reply to yours of a recent date in regard to the reaction of your Union's reaction in the case of Mr. A. B. Clark (after he was elected a member of your union) I b-g leave to say that he is, beyond a doubt, a colored American (a fact I did not tell you, though neglected to state). I am puzzled. If you can solve the same I will "blow you off" to a wine supper. The problem is: Why in the Heaven (or any other hereafter place) do your trade unions ask colored people to buy "Union" (?) goods when you bar the door against the Negro tradesmen simply on account of the color of his skin? Respectfully yours. AUGUSTUS M. HODGES. The following was clipped from a recent issue of the New York Press: "EASY, BOYS," SAID CORPSE. Ventriloquist Plays Grave Joke on His Colored Brethren. Denton, Md., Feb. 13.—Talk won't prove cheap for Sam Johnson a dusky ventriculist of Queenstown, who broke up the funeral of a colored brother here, for this afternoon he found himself in the hands of the sheriff, with the prospect of a heavy fine to mow morning. Sam, like most voice-jugglers, is a practical joker. His humor is appreciated in his own town, but when he went the length of stopping a funeral the Negroes of this place considered it carrying a joke too far. So Sam is in durance, and the colored brother is under ground several hours behind schedule, with a badly damaged coffin. Sam was resplendent in a "beaver" hat and the "Prince Albert" coat when he joined the mourners on the way to the cemetery. Everybody took him for a visiting parson, and great was the respect shown to him. He marched solemnly to the grave with the rest and assumed a reverent attitude while the local preacher uttered a fervent prayer. Then the pall-bearers edged the coffin toward the brink, ready to lower it into the grave at the word. "Let me down easy, boys." seemed to come in muffled tones from the coffin. The pall-bearers started and looked at one another. "Lower me gently, you charcoal chumps," the voice continued. Everybody stared, and the mourners nearest the grave drew back. "If I've got to be burted, I want to lie comfortable," the voice went on. That was enough. The pall-bearers dropped the ropes, the preacher his book, the mourners their hats and handkerchiefs, and the entire funeral party, except Sam, dusted down the road to the cemetery gate. Sam stayed where he was, clasping his sides, until he saw several of the more courageous brethren returning. Then he, too, fled. The plucky ones pried off the coffin lld and found that the corpse was dead beyond a doubt. Sam was not able to keep so good a joke to himself, and in a few hours the sheriff had him.

SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1905 THE TUSKEGEE CONFERENCE The annual conference at Tuskegee, held on the 22d, was the most interesting of the series. The discussions covered the whole field of endeavor in the great work of uplifting and advancing the Negro race. The material progress of the race was especially emphasized, it being shown that the Negro in forty years has saved more than $300,000,000 worth of property, that in twelve Southern States he owns 173,352 farms, that he has organized and supports 28,000 churches and that public and private schools for the race have greatly increased recently. As the conference was held under the auspices of Tuskegee Institute, Booker T. Washington was the leader in the work and the discussions. Representative Negro farmers were present from every Southern State except Kentucky and Virginia, and educators and those engaged in various industrial pursuits were in attendance from practically every Negro district. The good influence of the conference will go to every section, as eighty local conferences have been organized, which will receive full reports of the discussions at this national meeting. Mr. Washington, in his opening address, congratulated the race that there was a disposition to go calmly, patiently forward. He was glad to see more and more the evidence of this patient determination to get ahead. "It means success, my friends," said he, "and success will win for us the confidence of the world. We lay a good deal of stress in these conferences upon material progress. We know that this is not the end of life. But you can use a bank account; you can use a good farm. They are the tools with which we can reach the ends of life." The most important subject discussed by the conference was the "Ownership of Land," which was gone into in all its phases. In discussing the advantages to be derived from a diversification of crops, Mr. Washington illustrated the question in his usual homely and forceful way. "The average colored man," he said, "sees money once a year, and that is in the fall, when he has harvested the cotton crop. Is it strange, then, that he does not know what to do with this money when he gets it? Is it strange that he goes out and buys candy and peanuts and red-wheeled buggies? Why wouldn't it be better to take to raising chickens, from which you could get a little money every week?" In regard to the schools he said: "If you haven't a school open five or six months there is something radically wrong in your community. If the authorities will not furnish it, put your hand in your pocket and have it anyway. If you don't do that your children will grow up in ignorance, and that will retard the work we are trying to do for the race." As a matter of fact, it developed that the school question was the paramount interest of the conference, and not the land question, upon which it had been intended to lay stress. The reports which followed Mr. Washington's address showed that everywhere the people were buying land, were getting better homes, and that the race was making progress. The report showed, however, that so far as the support of the Negro schools by the State was concerned, in many places, where school funds had been turned over to the local boards to be apportioned among the races, great injustice has been done the colored people. "I note," said Mr. Washington, "that everywhere our people are beginning to draw the line between good people and bad people. They used to say that the colored people made no distinctions. But we observe there is growing up a public sentiment in favor of drawing this line. Draw it clearer. Draw it on the teacher; draw THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER it on the minister. Do not tolerate an immoral preacher. Do not give him anything to eat." The conference served a double purpose. The farmers' meeting was given up entirely to those engaged in agriculture for the discussion of practical questions, and every one joined in with his testimony. Then a workers' conference was held, at which the educators and others who are giving their time and energy to the uplifting of the race told of their experiences and considered methods which might aid in the movement. The Bible school students preparing for the ministry attended the farmers' meeting, as Mr. Washington believes that agriculture should be part of their work, the preachers encouraging the people by an example of industry. Fundamental elements of progress in addition to schools and churches that were insisted upon by the conference were buying land, discarding one-room cabins, diversifying crops, giving increased attention to stock, poultry and fruit raising, avoiding crop mortgages and useless expenditures and starting bank accounts. EFFORT TO PREVENT "JIM CROW" CARS. Perhaps no form of discrimination directed at the Negro race has been so exasperating as what Is known as "Jim Crow" legislation. All over the South they have laws compelling the races to ride in separate cars, and this has led to endless vexation and humiliation in various forms. They don't have separate trains, but separate cars in the same train, and the conductor is required to make each race herd to itself as if they were mortal enemies, ready to jump at each other's throats, instead of peaceable citizens living in the same towns and cities and doing business with each other all the time. Up North here everybody who has the fare can enter steam or street cars at will, take any seat that is vacant and proceed to his destination. Nothing is said or thought about it, and no one has been injured in any way by this common sense plan of regulating the transportation system. The roads run for the accommodation of all the people, under such reasonable regulations as the managers devise for preserving order and system, and all who buy tickets are treated exactly alike. The South, it seems, can't put up with such a simple way of doing things and hence its ridiculous and irritating "Jim Crow" laws. A bill has been introduced in congress by Representative S. Deb. Merrell of Pennsylvania to prevent the running of "Jim Crow" cars, so far as congress has the power to legislate on the subject. This would be confined to the District of Columbia, the Territories and railroads running through two or more States. It could not affect city street car lines, as congress has no power over transportation lines confined to one State. So, even if the bill passes, it would only partially remedy the abuse, but as far as it goes it is right and should be passed. Recently a delegation representing a Negro organization known as the Civic Federation and headed by Kelly Miller, appeared before the House Committee on Inter-State Commerce to urge the passage of this bill. It prohibits discrimination against passengers traveling between points in different cars on account of race or color, and makes each offense punishable by a fine not to exceed $5,000 or imprisonment not exceeding two years. Mr. Miller pointed out to the committee certain abuses under the "Jim Crow" system in Maryland, where Negroes are forced to ride in inferior cars. This is the first time an effort has been made to remedy the evil by national legislation, and, while it would not afford a complete reform, it will do good as far as it goes, and The Freeman hopes to see the law passed. The Filipino students at Ann Arbor, Mich., in protesting against the bill recently introduced in the Indiana Legislature to prevent marriage between American girls and brown men of the Philippines, use some arguments which show forcibly the injustice of the proposal. Even the Spanish government, they say, though denounced by us as despotic, did not prevent the marriage of Filipinos and Spanish girls, and many such unions occurred. Furthermore, say these students, we know very well that in the Philippines Americans can enter into legal bonds with our girls at any time, and why should not the Filipinos be allowed to marry American girls? Where is your reciprocity? "We protest sincerely against this bill," say the Ann Arbor students, "not because we wish to marry white girls, but because we want justice, reciprocity and a square deal, and, above all, we want to save our country's integrity." Race prejudice has broken out in a new place, and this time it is the Filipinos in this country also have stirred up fears of social equality. There are a few Filipino students at the Bloomington University, and these being bright, handsome young fellows they have naturally attracted the attention of the girls of the city. The parents of these girls, alarmed lest there might be closer relations in time, have become so alarmed as to demand a law prohibiting marriages. Senator Davis, voicing the sentiments of these frightened mammas, has introduced a bill into the Indiana Senate prohibiting intermarriage between natives of the Philippine islands and the white women of this country. Naturally, the Filipino students are much offended at the sneer and insult involved in this proceeding, and they are denouncing it as an unfriendly act. These students are brought to this country by the government to be educated in our various colleges, and should certainly guarantee them hospitable treatment while here. It is not the business of the government to interfere in the marital affa'rs of its citizens, and as American men often marry Filipino women, does not reciprocity demand that the same privilege should be extended to Filipino men in this country? The Freeman is in receipt of a marked copy of the Southwestern Christian Advocate containing a strong article against the reduction of southern representation as proposed in the Crumpacker bill. It argues that such a measure would simply be one of blind revenge and would not even accomplish that object, the chief sufferers being the Negroes themselves. It would, in effect, be a consent to the permanent disfranchisement of the Negro in the South, the poor compensation being the reduction of southern members of congress. But if the Negro has no vote, what difference does it make whether Mississippi, Georgia or South Carolina have one or eight representatives? Evidently reducing representation is a poor way to remedy abuses in the South. The medicine would be worse than the disease. Representative Baker proved himself a pretty considerable man, inasmuch as he was able to run the tobacco trust out of town between two days and so scare the rest of the lobbyists that they all took to their holes. "Cigarette" Baker left so hurriedly that he forgot to wait for his hundred dollars and even left his hotel bill. At latest accounts he was still running. A little timely exposure is a great antidote for bribery. Bribers do their work in the dark and can't stand the light of day. Like out-worms, they die as soon as the sunlight is turned on. Taken all together, the present legislature has made an unusually clean record. Of course it had its quota of cranks and, doubtless, a few corrupted members, but on the whole it has done well. A church at Peoria, ill., is advertising for a preacher and insists, among other qualifications, that he must be a crank. That ought not to be a hard bill to fill as cranks seem to have the call in the ministerial fraternity. Perhaps this would be a good time to unload the "leg-pulling" preacher as he doubtless needs a new field for the exercise of his peculiar talents. Score another for Governor Vardaman. By his prompt and energetic action he prevented another lynching in Mississippi and has taken steps for the protection of the accused man until he can be regularly tried. Evidently there are worse men in the country than Vardaman, even if he does make some bad breaks. Have You Tried it?

This season they are presenting a ```markdown ``` THE FAMILY OF THE FLOWER GIRLS musical extravaganza called "A Southern Enchantment" which is made up of singing, dancing and comedy throughout, with a plot laid in the Hawaiian islands, giving an opportunity for an elaborate and beautiful stage setting that rivals any of the musical shows of the season. When the company was last seen here it was pronounced an organization of exceptional merit, presenting one of the most enjoyable entertain- JOHN H. HARRIS ments of its kind ever given here. For the coming engagement many colored entertainers of established reputation have been added to the company which contains some of the cleverest people in their line of work THE CARNIVAL --- A GROUPOF "SMARTSET" GIRLS S. H. DUDLEY on the?American stage. "A Southern Enchantment" is arranged in three acts, the scenes of which are laid in the Hawaiian Islands. The story is full of humor which is all the more enjoyable on account of its being at all times refined. There is such music as is always found in good comic operas and there are more special musical numbers than there are on the program of any similar show that has been seen here this season. Among the musical numbers that have made the greatest hits are: "Blue}Bells," "Colored Volunteers," "Pocahontas," "Teasing," "Back to Baltimore," "Satisfaction Babe," "Good Night, Lucinda," "Queen of the Rio Grande," "The Traveling Man" and "On the Field." The reporteur of the company includes the old plantation melodies and a number of grand opera gems as well as the latest popular music. The leading comedian of the company is S. H. Dudey, the intimitable fun maker and one of the leading colored lights of the stage. John Bailey, another well-known fun producer, is also still with the company as is Marion Henry Smart, his dancing partner. The leading vocalists are Lawrence Chenault, the sweet voice tenor, and Mile Hopkins. Mile Hopkins is known as one of the sweetest singers on the Ameridan stage, having received the benefit of a full course of training by the best French masters. Her voice has a remarkable range which is the wonder of the musical profession.

MRS. MARTH tells your entire life—past and future—in a DAD TRANSFER. You've never met. in tests she tells your mother's before marriage, the name of all your family their ages and description, the name and business of your future husband, the name of your spouse, your young man who now calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, moutain and year of your marriage—how many children you have or will have—whether you are married or not. You will be true to you and if he marry you, if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name butness and date of marriage. In a DAD FUTURE you have an honest, clear and in a dead trance.

It is only from the books that you must such that a conclusion can be reached. It is not everyone who placards him or her, or the Medium that can stand a t-test of what is true. The Medium that can stand a t-test of what is true may ask the reason why. It is simply that these advisers do not take the trouble to human nature. They do not spend time acquiring the art of prenunciation and kindredness that will have a tendency to make the path to the road of the business clear and devoid. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come advice-in-full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they conceive that they try their utmost endeavor to delimit the subject, they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out to a person, pumping in "no few cases," is the art used by the Medium to take on the hand and gain control of the subject by a matter of impossibility to most of us, and yet this can be done, and by some means, by the RHF this seeming mystery becomes a realization.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VEHICLE MAKERS FOR THE WORLD. STUDEBAKER VEHICLE WORKS RACE CLEANINGS Visitors at the St. Louis Fair often expressed surprise at the great amount of space occupied by the Studebakers, who were one of the largest exhibitors at the fair. But, if they had looked up they would have seen the answer in a broad stretch of canvas, bearing a picture of the great plant at South Bend, Ind., which covers more than one hundred acres. The actual floor surface of the factories is 49 acres. There are 16 boilers in daily use, with an aggregate of 4 000 horse power. Fifteen dynamos supply light for factory use through 310 STU arc lamps and 1,475 incandescent lamps. There are in use 15 elevators, 6,000 feet of line shafting, 1,000 pulleys on line shaft, over 7 miles of balting and 888 wood and iron working machines. The power is supplied by 16 stationary engines, with 1 550 horse-power in daily use. The business originated in a small blacksmith shop in South Bend in 1852 Two Studebaker brothers, Henry and Clement, made the first start with a joint capital of $88 They shod horses and did other forge and anvil work, contriving withal during the first year to make two wagons. Later, Henry retired from the partnership and in time J. M. Studebaker, Peter E. Studebaker and Jacob F. Studebaker composed the quartette of brothers who forced their way step by step to the very forefront of the world's manufacturers in the vehicle line. Clement Studebaker became the president of the company on its incorporation and continued as such until his death, November 27, 1901. J. M. Studebaker, the next in seniority of RACE RACEKATALA MOTORCYCLE Prof. T. A. Green, of Los Angles, California, has been appointed second assistant journal clerk of the Senate of the State of California. He is the first Negro to be appointed to a clerical position in the legislature of that State. Prof. Green is making a splendid record in the far West. Colored men are taking the place of foreign white laborers in the steel plants and other big plants in and around South Chicago. While the Negroes may not work cheaper, it is claimed they will lessen the number of accidents about the plants. The theory is that the Negroes can be made to understand the instructions of the foreman more easily than the foreigners. The birthday of Frederick Donglass, was observed in all the colored public schools. The exercises at the different buildings were very similar, consisting of songs, recitations by the children of incidents from Mr. Donglass' life and of extracts from his speeches, and an address by some public spirited citizen emphasizing some prominent trait of the great reformer's career. These exercises were held February 14 at Washington, D. C. The First Separate Battalion of District National Guards of Washington, D.C., is the only one of the seven battalions that have full complement of men and officers. The colored companies are taking a great deal of interest in the work, and the seventy-five men composing each of the four companies are giving their white comrades a sample of military discipline that is hard to beat. The other six battalions are well up in numbers but they still have a long way years, succeeded to the presidency. He alone remains of the original five Studebaker brothers, sons of John Studebaker, himself a wagon maker, who taught his boys how to climb the steps of business and mechanical art, which his own feet in less auspicious days were not destined to reach. Such are the details, meagre and condensed, of the beginning, progress and attainment of an American manufacturing industry, which on February 15, 1903, reached its half century anniversary. UDEBAKER VEHICLE WO MOPUS EDUC. SERVICES THE JEWISH THE CATHOLIC HISTORY 1822 WHERE THE GREAT BUSINESS STARTED Surely, the blacksmith shop of fifty years ago was an acron from which has come a spreading oak of trade and industry. And that simile really suggests the manner of the Studebaker growth. There has been no compelling hand from without, grasping widely scattered factories and bringing them into a giant consolidation, as has been true in many industries; but nurtured by the sap of its own strong life it has become a business oak, strong through and through. This unfolding of a great industry. EANINGS to go before equalling the record made by the colored soldiers The first report of the American Trust and Savings Bank of Jackson, Miss., has just been made public. This bank was opened last October. Every share of the stock is owned by Negroes, and employees are colored. Not a white man has anything to do with the bank, and the funds deposited therein are all the savings of Negroes in Jackson. In the three months which the bank has been in operation funds to the amount of $64,000 have been handled. The dividends for the first quarter amounted to 20 per cent. of the capital. --- In order to increase the cavalry representation in the inaugural parade and at the same time recognize the colored troops of the regular army. Lient Gen. Chaffee, chief of staff, has directed that the first squadron of the Ninth cavalry at Ft. Riley, Kansas proced to Washington to take part in the parade. The Ninth cavalry served in Cuba during the Spanish War and subsequently in the Phillipine insurrection. It is one of the four colored regiments in the army and it will be because of the President's recollection of its gallant work at El Caney and San Juan Hill that the Ninth cavalry is to be in the parade. The Tenth cavalry would participate for the same reason, but the battalions are too distantly located in the Northwest. MT. OLIVE. Mt. Olive, N.

It shows the sufficiency of a business organization, if it has adaptability and foresight in its management, to adjust itself to changing conditions. Stress of circumstances may press hard from without, but it can be withstood and overcome if there is the right sort of strength within. This inner strength has been the inheritance of the Studebaker. It has come down to them from a long line of ancestors and it has increased as it has descended. It has found expres- ORKS ston in a distinct standard of work- manship—everything must be built from within. There must be soundness in axle and spoke and gear, in tire and tongue and body—then there can be paint on the outside and the shield added of a great name—Studebaker. Strength of this sort has been built into the Studebaker vehicles and given them an enduring re- putation in all parts of the world. In the second half-century the Studebaker Brothers manufactured ing Co., will keep an alignment with new conditions from the solid foundation of the changeless principles that have been followed from the beginning. There will be progress but it will be always the substantial kind that comes by growing from within. With abundant capital, providing every facility; with fixed principles, finding expression in the highest standard of workmanship, the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company may well hope to maintain their conceded position as the greatest vehicle manufacturer in the world.

The bowl is small, only a quantity of tobacco sufficient to give the smoker two or three whiffs can be put in it. Then the ashes are knocked out and the pipe is carefully refilled, a process gone through many times in the course of an afternoon. The new color for this spring will make its debut about the middle of March. It is not yet shown in the retail market but the wholesale dealers are prepared with quantities of it. It is to be called the "Alice blue," after Miss Alice Roosevelt. When Miss Roosevelt was at the exposition at St. Louis she visited the American silk exhibit and there found this particular blue. It is much softier than the standard gobellin blue, running somewhat into the gray blues and it appealed to her that this shade would be particularly becoming to her mother. Mrs. Roosevelt determined on the color for her inaugural gown, combining it with gold. The large hat in windy weather is a nuisance. All sensible women count among their possessions a small toque or turban. —x— Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. Do everything well, make that the rule of your life.
