INVEST YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU KNOW YOU'LL GET IT BACK. The Freeman prints more advertising of every kind than any five other colored newspapers in the United States. THE REASON:Because it always brings the best results. Ask those who use its columns-they know THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER POLITICAL PHASES IN AFRICAN METHODIST ZION CHURCH THE NEED OF MORE BISHOPS Ten Bishops Needed at the Present Time to Cover the Field, Twelve by 1908 - The Appointment of Bon- George White-Berea's Test Cases. The political phases of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church are always interesting. It is an organization of action and at its head are men of marked executive ability, intellectual grasp and deep piety. Although Zion is older than its sister, Bethel, its present aspect has in it more of the formative element than the temple of Allen. This is because of the ascendancy of the younger ministry on the bench of bishops and in the general officers. The struggle which retarded the logical development of Zion for many years has been won by the progressive faction, and in this year of grace the church is so rapidly ridding of obsolete notions and antiquated customs that it is sufficiently up-to-date to invite the approval and personal support of not only the strongest moral agents in the land but to draw unto itself much of the finest mental force that the race possesses. The Zion church offers especial encouragement and opportunity to young men of character and talent, and her vast era of virgin soil is taken on new life under their spiritual and temeral touch. The total membership is now little short of 500,000. Wisely guided a few years hence ought to see her reach the million mark. The elimination of fossilities and introduction of modern methods of worship without sacrifice of Christian ideals will work wonders. Bever Robert S. Rives, of Broadway church, Louisville, editor of the Zion Methodist and one of Zion's very able and most zealous champions is understood to favor the conservation of a vicar-bishop or special agent for the church extension work in Africa and has expressed himself quite vigorously upon the subject in a recent issue of his paper. Dr. Rives is a firm believer in the possibilities of Zion in Africa and that the natives would become powerful Christians if reinforced by the economic advantage that a good industrial school would supply. Dr. Rives is too modest to solicit such an assignment but his friends are confident that he would gladly take up his work if it should be given him by the board of bishops. He is exceptionally fitted for missionary and educational service and we believe the church would show great wisdom by utilizing the vim, enthusiasm and intelligent effort that Dr. Rives would bring to this branch of the church's system. Such a course would be a step toward the solution of a perplexing problem, especially as it concerns the passing of Bishop Small. The executive talent of such well equipped presiding elders as Dr. W. H. Chambers, of whom we shall have something to say later) and the general officers for assistance in making up the loss arising from the death of Bishop I. C. Clinton. It may seem too soon to discuss bishopric candidates for 1908 but the church has a way of beginning its canvass of men and measures for the next quadrennium the moment the benediction is pronounced upon the last session of a present general conference. A minister of maturity and experience, who can stand the searching scrutiny of a massive religious host for four or eight years without losing caste, is good material for the bench. If four are to "go up" at Philadelphia in 1908 how would this quartet suit the great body of Zion in conference assembled: Dr. W. H. Chambers, Robert S. Rives, S. L. Corrothers and G. W. Blackwell? It is not too soon for Zion to begin "taking stock" to determine the quality and value of the goods she has on hand. The suggestion of the Hon. George H. White as a member of the Inter-State Commerce Commission is an admirable one. We know of no position under the government wherein Mr. White's pequilar powers could be more happily exerted for the good of the Negro and the whole people than on a commission which has to deal with the jim crow car iniquity and the freight rebate evil. Mr. White deserves well at the hands of the Roosevelt administration. The splendid lecture of Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce on industrial education for the city Negro in Louisville should not be permitted to pass from the popular mind until we have commended the choice setting given it by the clever and practical manager, Miss Mamie H. Burroughs, whose brief explanation of the purposes of the Auxiliary's star lecture course was itself a felicitous opening of a felicitous occasion. The welcome address by Lawer Albert S. White and Prof. Daniel L. Lawson abounded in wit, humor and solid thoughts and the musical selection by Miss Hattie Yeiser and William Hampton were delightful. Dr. C. H. Parrish presided gracefully and Bishop Clinton closed the exercises with an earnest prayer. The social session in the lecture room of Calvary Baptist church and the reception at the home of Miss Lucy Flint were further attestation of Prof. Bruce's warm place in the hearts of the people of Kentucky's hospitable metropolis. Berea College, despite the exhaustive defense of the once mighty John G. Carlisle, has been assessed two fines of $1,000 each for alleged violation of the Day law, which prohibits the co-education of whites and blacks in any school, and forbids the establishment of a branch school for Negroes within twenty-five miles of an institution for education of whites. Berea contends that the statute is unconstitutional. The case has been appealed to the Kentucky to the Kentucky Court of Appeals. If this court upholds the constitutionality of the act the matter will be carried before the Supreme court of the United States. It is a pity some legislator cannot put a bill through to prevent the Commonwealth of Kentucky from making an ass of itself on the race question. R. W. THOMPSON.

You Can Do it and Make a Pleasure of Your Leisure Hour. We Start You in Business for $13.50. Many a clerk, school-teacher, mechanic, railroad man, cigar-maker, seamstress, stenographer, student or strugging professional man has added $500 per year to their income besides furnishing their own tables with eggs and poultry. One of the most fascinating pastimes is the raising of poultry for the market and the profits are phenomenal. It is a mistake to think that it requires experience to raise chickens and money. Any man or woman can raise chickens successfully with a "Michiganer" incubator and brooder, and there is a lot of money to be made all the year round by the small as well as the large chicken-raiser. There is al- MICHIGAMDER ways a good cash market for chickens and eggs, and the "Michigander" Inoculator hatches one healthier, stronger chicks and any other incubator on the market. In fact, the "Michigander" Inoculator hatches out chicks just as strong as does the "setting hen" and the Michigander Brooder "mothers" chicks and any other incubator below it. The "Michigander" Inoculator is the very highest-class *hot water* inoculator and it is so simple to operate and regulate that any person or child can handle it successfully, and many men, preachers, teachers, mechanics, road men, clerks and day laborers as well as farmers and farmer's wives are adding a snug cover to their annual income with "chickens-money" for the speech of. There are to-day many of the large chickens-raisers who number their profits by the thousands of dollars and occupy yards who tainted with one "Michigander" Inoculator and Brooder and it did the rest. Leisure hours with the "Michigander" will produce chickens for the family use and net earnings. They will incubate and brood them year. Write to-day to Cash Supply & Mfg. Co. Box 402, Kalamazoo, Mich., and they send you price list and catalogue of Michigander inoculators and brooders and tell you free how much you are your annual income in an easy, pleasant manner and not require much cash to start.

Crum, colored, collector of the port of Charleston, S. C., gave a lecture at the Metropolitan A. M E church on the subject, "Is the Negro a Hindrance to the Progress of the Nation?" Bishop Wesley J. Gaines presided, and the speaker was introduced by Congressman Morrell, of Pennsylvania. Dr Crum declared that the Negro is not a hindrance or a menace to the country, but is an important factor in the development of the resources of the nation. Since citizenship had been conferred on him the Negro had advanced along all lines. Eighty seven per cent. of them are engaged in agricultural pursuits and 13 per cent. in learned professions. He believed that the course being pursued by Prof. Booker T. Washington is the best method of advancing the development of his people. He indorsed heartily industrial education, but was not opposed to the highest education of the Negro. Social equality, said Dr. Crum, is a humbug, and is only used as a scarecrow. Nobody is asking for social equality. That, he said, "is a matter watch regulates itself, but we do ask for civil rights and a fair chance in the race of life." The collector called on the President during the day. NORMAL ALA Normal, Ala, Special—Dr. E. W. B.

Mr. Editor—I am pleased to say that The Freeman was greeted on its arrival here with pleasure by the hotel boys. Some of them expressed themselves as having been at a loss ever since their arrival here—The Freeman being the cause, as this issue was the only issue that has been circulated among the boys at the Eastman since the house opened. L. A. Walker, who has been identified here for a number of years as headwaiter, is still his own successor, with Mr. Dan Boon as second waiter and Clarence Fowler as third waiter. His crew of sidewaiters is made up of one hundred or more picked men from different parts of the United States. I am pleased to state that under the influence of Mr. Walker the grill room and cafe of the Eastman has been put under the service of colored waiters, and the crew under the captainship of Samuel Hall of Boston, Mass., is giving unequaled service. One of the largest fires in the history of this city broke out here Friday morning about 3 o'clock, sweeping down in its path twenty-four blocks of the city, covering a territory of nearly three and a half miles. Many people were made homeless. The fire department were inadequate to cope with the situation. The fire, therefore, seeming to have knowledge of its freedom, like a wolf devoured everything in its wake. Three deaths are supposed to be the extent of the casualties. Incorrect Criticism. Evidently the gentleman who criti cised my reply to the article published in the New York Age entitled "Army Door Closed," wrote his criticism without first carefully reading the article he attacks. I certainly did not say that "most of the recruits came from the ignorant class, such as barbers and waiters." I did not even intimate that waiters and barbers are ignorant. What I did say was that men who, in civil life, aspire to nothing higher than to be waiters and barbers are not the men to command military organizations. I desired to point out how incongruous it would be for a volunteer or regular army officer to meet as his official and social equal the man who, until recent- [One address line $2.60 per year; including subscription to The Freeman, in advance.] HEADWATERS.

I am well aware that waiters and barbers are quite frequently well educated men, that many young men seek such positions to secure the means to complete a course in college, also that many a man holding a sheepskin from some reputable institution of learning, having found himself a failure at everything else, rather than try something more strenuous, turns to the hotel and helps to "elevate the profession." But these positions are the positions of merits, however honorable, and the man who is content to be a mental, no matter how well educated, is, as a rule, not possessed of the stuff that goes to make a successful commander of men. Grant chopped and sold wood for a living, and Garfield drove mules on a tow path, but can one conceive of either having been a waiter or barber? I repeat, the work of either is honorable, but neither is conducive to the production of military men. Having been for nearly twelve years a very close observer of the sentiment regarding colored officers, I felt myself well acquainted with the subject. However, as we rarely see anything written on the subject by our friends in dvl life which does not contain glaring errors, and show a woeful lack of information regarding the army, and as my knowledge regarding the same has been assailed, I assure my critic that besides the class of men his writings are supposed to interest. 3,000 colored soldiers will read with careful attention any intelligent article he may write on the subject, and I feel sure that when he considers the vast difference between the pay of a headwaiter, the highest of his profession, and that of a second lieutenant, the lowest of the commissioned officer, and realize what a gain it would be to those of his intelligent waiters whom he, by his writings, might induce to give up the tray for the sword, he will consider this a duty, and let both his friends and the army men hear from him. FRESLY HOLLIDAY. Sergeant-Major 10th Cavalry. Ft. Robinson, Neb. Feb. 20, '05. (Copyright 1888 by W. Forrest Cozart.) It is strange, yet true, that most of the best hotels enforce that stereotyped rule of feeding the help. A great many times the food is poor and the quantity insufficient, thus having a watter very often go on duty hungry, even if fed before the guests, but to eat anything from the scrap table means a fine or a discharge. In this hungry condition the waiter brings food out of the dining room that he would be glad to eat, but cannot, so this food is dumped on the scrap table and later a larger portion consigned to the swill tub for the hogs to feast on and grow corpulent; food that should have been given to the hungry waiters. Now, this I consider a moral wrong. If there is anything that will make a waiter dissatisfied and make bim steal and do all kinds of little wrongs it is when he is poorly fed, while good food is thrown away. There are thousands of waiters to-day suffering from dyspepsia and other diseases caused by improper food eaten in hotels Waiters in the above condition are very likely to be disagreeable and quite repulsive to the guest and employers 1 am of a deedled opinion that a vast improvement made along this line would result beneficially to the hotel proprietor. I am well aware of the fact, however, that waiters abuse their privileges and are never satisfied with their condition, yet I believe the above suggestion will aid in bringing the best results. Mr John Tellman writes: "The feeding of the help is, beyond a doubt the most annoying branch of the steward's department. To satisfy them is almost out of the question. No matter what you give them, even where they are fed from the carving stand, they will find fault, but if the steward will pay personal attention; he can keep them from complaining. Often, no doubt, there is good cause for complaint, especially when their food is prepared in the main kitchen by one of the cooks. Vegetables and meats left over from the regular meals are set in the ice box by the chef and often left there until they are unfit for use; then they are taken out and sent to the help. On Friday fish saved up for almost a week is sent to the help. The hash is burnt, the potatoes two (days old are sour food, none of which is fit for a human being to eat. Can you expect your help to be satisfied with it? If this same stuff was used the same day, or not later than the next, warmed up and served nicol it would be eaten." To me it seems outrageous to work men and half feed them while good food is thrown away. It reminds me of a striking picture I once saw, where a man was tied to a post and starving to death, notwithstanding that an enormous supply of food was within a few feet of him. Thus the poor victim, while gazing upon all the delicacies of the season, was unable to reach them, consequently he starved in sight of luxury. We are told by Mrs. Roher, an expert, that "a wise combination of food is necessary to keep the body in order, as in the daily wear and tear of life a great deal of the substances of a man's body is used up, and it is absolutely necessary that the repair of the body be carefully and systematically looked after." I therefore sincerely beg a careful consideration along this important line, honestly believing that the result will be beneficial to all concerned. In conclusion, I desire to call the attention of hotel keepers to another very important matter, viz: I believe that every first class hotel should have a bathtub conveniently located for the employes, and especially the waiters, because it is highly essential that waiters should bathe at least three times a week and change their linen as often as it is necessary in order to make a good appearance in the dining room. I find from practical experience as a side and headwaiter that the majority of waiters are single men and ro m with some private family or at some boarding house, in which, nine cases out of ten, neither of the places have a bathtub, consequently the waiters are compelled to go to some bath house and pay fifteen or twenty-five cents for a bath. If they have one at the lodging house why they will have to pay for it just the same. In the majority of the hotels waiters are paid on or by the 10th, or some other specified date, and, of course, they have not always the money at hand to pay for a bath, and as their room rents, laundry bills and street car fare, and, in fact, other incidentals equally as important, must be paid, it is easily understood from the above how convenient it would be for a waiter to omit taking a bath at the proper time. I know of several hotels supplying this necessity and the results a.e. very satisfactory. This system is especially recommended to hotels located in a warm climate and to ail the hotels during the summer season. While I have been in favor of this system for several years I fully realized its necessity and results while I was headwaiter at the Oriental Hotel in Dallas, Texas, in 1896, at which time I employed from forty to fifty waiters regularly. As proof of the bathtub system, and the results of inducements and the proper facilities offered the waiters, I refer you to the Plankton Hotel at Milwaukee, Wils., where there was a prize given by the manager every month to the waiter making the neatest appearance during the month. This competition among the waiters was so great that they would exert every energy to win the prize, or, at least, make a creditable showing. At the Oriental Hotel in Dallas a bathtub and a boot black is furnished the waiters. I also recommend that the waiters be paid twice a mouth or be given a draw day. After having fulfilled the above recommendations your headwaiter has no excuse for not maintaining a neat and respectable crew of waiters which is a good advertisement for any hotel. FARMINGTON.

It ts constantly charged against the Negro race that they shield their own criminals, refuse to aid in their prosecu- tlon and stand by them right or wrong. Unfortunately there is some truth in this charge, but the fact complained of grows ut of the pecullar conditions surrounding the race, constant persecution, denial of legal rights, unjust discriminations of all kinds are sure in the end to produce a con- dition of race segregation, desire for retal- ation and a class feeling which blinds its Possessors to the nice distinctions between right and wrong. There Is likely to grow up a spirit, much like that actuating Ismael of old, which made him feel that the hands of all men were against him and his hand against all others, It is the feeling of the hunted animal, an instinct of self-defense and self-protection which grows naturally out of the conditions that have prevailed in this country for many years. Never- theless, without taking notice of what pro duced it, the fact of its existence ts regret- able. Booker T. Washington and cther wise leaders, while recognizing the fact, have deprecated the tendency toward its ‘accentuation and making it a rule of action. Manifestly it 15 to the best interest of our race to weed out criminality in all tts forms and assist In its prevention or punishment, A readiness to do this will deprive our enemies of one of their chief causes of complaint. As bearing on this general subject, a case is reported from Chicago that is noteworthy. James A. Logan, a Negro janitor for an apartment building, notified the Hyde Park poilce that his seventeen year old son had murdered Mrs. Della Tracy, a servant in the household of a Dr. Wilder. The father's anxiety to have the law enforced on his son cleared up a mystery for the police and revealed a remarkable instance of justice and the law-abiding spirit on the part of himself and the boy’s mother. They were the only ones who knew of thelr son's guilt, and they did not hesitate to surrender him to the authorities, though they knew it meant his certain death at the hands of the law. In delivering up his only son to a sure death, this father said with a spirit truly heroic: “It would have made no difference to me whether if was my own father or mother or wife or my grandmother, | would have given them up to the police just the same. T believe the law should be respected. He is my only son, but he ought to be punish- ed for killing that woman.” We venture to say that history records no nobler example of selfabrogation and self-sacrifice than this of the humble Chi- cago janitor. We hear of parents sending thelr sons forth to war, though realizing the danger that they may never return, But in such cases there is the glammer of patriotism and realization that, if thelr children are killed, they will be glorified as patriots. If not killed, they return to be honored by thelr country and neighbors. But Mr. and Mrs. James A. Logan had no Such stimulus or expectation of future honors to encourage them to sacrifice their only son, They turned him over, not only to punishment, but to disgrace, well know- ing that all their future lives would be clouded by the recollection that their child had been hung for murder. Only on their evidence could he be convicted and they did not hesitate to offer it voluntarily to the law officers. We say that James A. Logan and his wife are real heroes, of a kind seldom seen in this imperfect world, Let it no more be said that our race refuses to expose and hunt down its criminals. The Logans are a standing refutation of the calumny. Produce a white father who has done the same thing.

THE SPIRIT OF MEDDLESOME- / seme Kentucky has “taken the cake” in the contest for a’supremely idiotic achievement on the race question. It has gone out of its way to hunt trouble, when trouble was doing its best to keep away from it, and it has deliberately stirred up the waters where they hadfbeen still and peaceful for gener- ations. Berea college, as some of our readers doubtiess know, was established in Kentucky many years ago by anti-slavery southerners, and as far back as 1660 ad- mitted colored students, Tnis was not ob- jected to during all these years by the white residents of the town and county where the school is located, nor by the elght hundred white students in the institution. All had gone along harmoniously for nearly fifty years, so far as those immediately interest- ed were concerned, and Berea college had been educating both white and colored students in most friendly relations. But there were marplots and- busy bodies who objected to this. Things were going along too smoothly%to suit these feudists and they set to work to cause trouble. So they had a law passed by the Kentucky legislature which forbids teaching white and colored pupils In the same school. Education of both races under the same management is permitted only in case the schools are twenty-five miles apart. This provision did not help Berea, of course, a3 it educates all its pupils under one roof and in the same town. - When the act was under discussion in the legislature the college authorities con- demned {t as a gratuitous attack on the college. They showed that none of the patrons or students of Berea wanted = legislation, but, on the contrary, demanded 10 be let alone to proceed in their own way, and attend to their own business. But ws bill became a law, and under a test case, attacking its constitutionality, the C'rcult Court of Madison county has sustained the law. So Berea college, if it goes on in its own way will subject itself to constant tines, injunctions and other legal proceedings as a law breaker. The intent of the founders of the college are defeated by this spirit of intermeddlesomeness, and the race-hating cranks will have their way. It is a dis- gusting proceeding and a lamentable situa- Hon, but seems to be hopeless, notwith- standing the old law maxim—that where there is a wrong there is always a remedy. If, indeed, there is a remedy to prevent this useless outrage, it would seem that it ought to be found and applied. | In his recent {naugural address Governor W. L. Douglass of Massachusetts had a word to say regarding industrial education, We suppose that this means that the editor of the colored paper published in Boston will move out of the State; or, he may reason that it is all right for a white man to praise industrial education, but for a Negro to do so is to make him an object of condemnation. He sald: “No effort should be spared to keep Massachusetts to the front in the industrial world. Since the practical abolition of ap- prenticeship systems and the specialization of labor in most of our mills and factories there Is but little opportunity for learning atrade, To-day most workers understand but one small part of an industry. Their opportu~ nities for promotion are greatly iessened by this fact, and the difficuity of obtaining men qualified for foremen and superinten- dents is often great. A practical knowl- edge of an industry, as a whole, and of the sciences upon which it rests, would open the doors to promotion for many bright workers now compelled to work at a ma- chine or bench. If a considerable part of our factory em- ployes had a more comprehensive knowi- edge of the industry in which they were engaged they would be quicker to appre: clate and adopt improvements; we woulc have better foremen and superintendents our factories would be better conducted anc our industries would make better progress In my opinion the industrial and trade: schools are largely responsible for th great advancement made in many indus fries In Germany and England. We tos import millions of dollars’ worth of good: that could and should be produced here Technical knowledge would not only enabl our workers to produce these goods a home, but would greatly increase our ex port trade. In my judgment Masscchusetts made : good investment when it gave financial en Couragement to our textile schools and ou nautical training school. 1 believe w should have similar schools in other in dustries. I would also suggest the advisability o agricultural schools, where a practica knowledge of horticulture, forestry and 0 the animal industries shall be taught, Smal tural schools of this kind scattered through out the State and inexpensively conducte would. In my opinion, not only do much t keep the country boys at home, but wou' cause our New England farms to becom as productive and profitable as is possible.’ Very silly discussions often spring up in the newspapers, usually provoked by the utterances of some crank. The latest Is Dr. Osler, who, on retiring from his profes- sorship at John Hopkins to take another in England, left a trail of angry comment provoked by his farewell lecture, In this he stated that all the world’s best work was done by men under forty and that after sixty a man was of no consequence. O course it Is easy enough to refute this reck- less statement, if anybody thought it worth while. Men are at their best between forty and sixty and mnch valuable intellectual work has been done after the last mention- edage. It amounts to this: For certain kinds of work young men are best adapted ; for other kinds more age and maturity of thought gives the best results. As for Dr. Osler, he himself is nearly sixty, and it is safe to say that he would not admit upon arrival at his three score that he was fit to be chloroformed. ‘That tsa pleasant and timely note that comes from the Baptist (colored) Ministers’ Alliance of Chicag>, urging the Negro ministry of the United States to consecrate itself to the uplifting of the colored man's ideals. Commenting on the Lincoln day address of President Roosevelt, delivered before the Republican club of New York, this appeal of the Chicago ministers says: “Here is a recognition of the rights of the Negro such as no former President ever dared to make. It was the outburst of a brave heart. Our entreaty is to all Negro ministers. Let us consecrate ourselves anew to the developing of our people into a more sturdy christian character. We must condemn and discountenance the Negro criminal; we must ory out against the political shyster or any other shyster who would have the race exalt him." Criminals should be hunted down and punished because they have committed crime, and not, because of their race or color. A crime is a orlme, whether perpe- trated by Chinese or Malay, white man or Negro. Unless the law operates equally upon all it becomes itself an instrument of hateful oppression. The same results for the same deeds should be the maxim, for ea race should help to ferret out its own ‘criminals as well as all other criminals, It must help to enforce the law against all offenders. This week winds up both congress and the legislature and, without meaning any reflection on elther, we will say that we ean well afford to do without them until next meeting. A NEGRO IS APPOINTED, ©.

In 1872 Alf White and Jim Mahorney took a show out of Memphis with the following people: Warren Fisher, Tom Gwinn, Billy Baxter, Bob Mahorney, Tina Mahorney, Matt Reynolds, Bob Bacon, Howard King, Ike Simond and a few others, This com- pany was organized at Col. R. R. Church's new hall—Col. Church, by the way, prov- ing then, as well as up to the present day, that he is a race man at all times and under all circumstances. ‘The steamboats on both the Ohio and the Mississippi rivers was a good graft for peo- ple with musical ability—all the large boats having its concert party—the old Belle Lee, Ruth, Ida Handy, Richmond and, in fact, all passenger packets were rated by the class of entertainers carried. Anderson Lewis had a band of twenty pleces on the Paragoud. Ike and Bob Turner, Frank Harvey, Jim Douglass, Wiley Brown, Jim Dimmie, George Washington, Billy’ Bodie, Bill Flowers, Lun Hutchinson, Charlie Wil- lams and many others owe their first start in the business to these same river concer s, Shortly after Callender's Georglas went to Europe Sprague organized a minstrel show at DesMoines, lowa, with the follow- ing people: Buck and Delaney, Charlie Capps, Lige Smith, Brown and Mills, John Taylor, Charlie Dupree, Alex. Lucca, Charlie Singer, Frank Grimes, Taylor Washington, Leighton and Warwick, Bob Short, C. F. Stansburt, C. Wright, Haires and a few othefs, This was a long lived’ company and handled a great many per- formers. Among the most prominent were Sam Lucas, Charlie Lewis, Neal Moore, Billy Kersands, Jim Bland, John Woods, Billy Taylor and Bill Reynolds. It was in this great party that two great guns came together for the first time in Cincinnat! at; Huick's opera house in 1877—Jim Bland! and Billy Kersands. It was a contrast of education and ignorance. ‘That was the time that Jim Bland’s “Golden S ippers’” was in the mouth of every woman, man and child inthe land. As I have stated, this company out lived all others, and is traveling to-day with Richard and Pringle at its head. This man Pringle has made more minstrel men thao any other white manager in the country. When | saw him in Butte City, Mont., in 1899, he looked as he did years ago, with the same old smile and hearty shake for everybody. The celebrated Hyer sisters were the next to drop down on usin the palmy days of the 70's. This party, 1 think, was the greatest of all colored efforts as I eee seen all the colored shows in the country. When I next witnessed them (Pittsburg in 1877) I noticed the following people: Mr. and Mrs, Luca, Miss Bell Donner, Wallace King, Prof. Sawer, Magzie Porter, Miss Allle Davis, the great Billy Kersands, Jen- nie Mead and a few local people, among whom was Miss Anna Robinson, Miss M.

To be Continued. “ COME TO MY ARMS, LOVE.” Come to my arms, love, just for to-night. Forgetting all the past; Let us live again those days of yore, Let us hope they will ever last. Come to my arms, love, they long to en- fold thee; In love's tenderest embrace. Let me forget all sorrow and pain, While gazing on thy face. Come to my arms, love, the night birds are calling; Come, as of yore, to thy lover again, He is sad, he is weary, he Is waiting To hold you as he held you then. Gome to my arms, love, the nighiMast is fleeting; Come rest your headon his heavy breast; He is waiting for thee, lovingly, longingly, Come forgetting, forgiving and rest, —Nichoias A.

It is the aim and intention of The Freeman to publish the news of the actors of the country, and the publisher is thankful for all the communications that is of interest to the profession; but, as you know, there are quite a number of companies on the road and friends sending us copy every week it is impossible for us to publish your news as you send it. If your letter is "cut" it is because we must make room for the many correspondents that we have. The Freeman is a national paper and it must cover a large field; so, therefore, we hope your letters will be the "point" as near as possible. Manuscript will be written on both sides will not receive our consideration at all.—Editor. The contemplated tour of Prof. Frank Clearmont's band is postponed indefinitely. The report of the death of Miss Marlon Smart and Lawrence Chenault is very erroneous. Both are enjoying the best of health. Burns and Gordon closed at Keith's Theatre, Cleveland, O., Feb. 13 and are booked for twelve weeks over the summer park circuit. The Prampins, Musical Aristocrats, are at the Lyceum theatre, Ogden, Utah, this week, with the Unique at Akron, O., to follow March 20. W. A. Bruce sends regards to Robert Batie, Richard Simmons, Sank Sims, Perry Bradford and W. L. McMullen. He is now at 1608 Eddy street, Cheyenne, Wyo. Eugene Clark writes.—After a successful season with the Delta Carnival company throughout the sunny south I have come to Paducah, Ky., to rest up and am now at liberty for the summer season.

"Kid" Anderson wrote a hot ragt which he thinks will make a great hit. Notes of Richard & Pringle's Georgia Minstrel Company. The company is meeting with the same success everywhere and teeing entertained nightly. Billy Young is as ever as ever. The band, under the direction of Wm. Blive, is earning the reputation of being one of the best street bands on the road. The Toney Trio's new uniforms arrived last week. Harry Fiddler will visit Indianapolis, Ind., soon. Notes of Smith & Bailey's Southern Comedy Company.—Mrs. Shelton has rejoined the company. Ollie Shelton's "Old Woman" act is one of the features of the company. The quartet (White, Bowles, Watts and Shelton) are pleasing everybody. Mr. Young, Mrs. Watts, Peyton and Harris are still on our pay roll. Mrs. Bowes was presented with a beautiful umbrella by the company recently as a birthday present. David Gaten's Plantation company is headed by Prof. T. A. Baugh's famous band and orchestra. David Gaten, the leading comedian, is a clever performer and will be heard from in the future and is singing "Let Me in Dat's All." Oscar Gaten is making a hit singing "Scissors to Grind." Charles Stanton is pleasing them with "Give Me My Fifteen Cents," and Mrs. Maudie Gaten is leaving them yelling singing "Alexander" and "I Aln't Got No Money." W. Goff Kennedy writes from Little Savoy Theater, Jacksonville, Fla.—Business continues good. Billy Reeves, our clever comedian, still continues a big favorite, also Webster Williams. Billy Bradley is an established favorite. Carrie Hall is featuring "It Aint the Kind of Grub I've Been Getting Down Home." Madame Gertrude Brown, late of Washington, D.C., sucres nicely with her classical solos. Pauline Crampton is still scoring heavily. Louise Stevens is a new and valuable acquisition as is also Sam Catlett. Our manager, W. H. Dorsey, is conceded to be one of the best musicians and arrangers in this section o the country. Lady performers who are at liberty address W. H. Dorsey, Little Savoy Theater, Jacksonville, Fla. Chicago will have a new musical comedy, attempting a summer run at the Columbus theater. Arrangements have been made by the management to star Mr. S. H. Dudley, the present leading comedian with the Smart Set. "Come by the Vehicle of Comedy" will be a 3-act musical farce. Dealing with the Adventures of one Rufus Jones from Alabama in the Philippines, written, staged and produced by J. Ed. Green, Lynis by S. H. Dudley. Ensemble music by Joe Jordon. Max Weber will be responsible for the financial end of the show. Sixty people will be used in this production, opening about the 27th of May. --- Chicago notes.—Princess Satonki was a drawing card at the Pekin last week. Chas. (Pas) Arnold has plenty of open time at present. Joe Jordan has returned from St. Louis. The Vaughners are out on the circuit. Joe Hatch is entertaining at a swell down town club. Mrs. Duffy has gone to Kankakee for a short visit. Maude Kemp is a big favorite in and around the Pekin. Sam Cook, Ed. Hardin, John Simons, George Reeves and N. W. Spiller have joined the K. of P's and report that they got their money's worth. Williams and Walker's company passed through the city Sunday en route to Pittsburg, and were met by a large delegation of prosestonials whom had anticipated their coming, and spent a pleasant hour with them. The Robinsons, Deas and Deas, and Caldwell and Thomas are in town. Poole and Rooks Minstrel and Vaddeville company are making sure hits through Virginia and playing to good business. Although there are only 12 in the company they are 12 of the warmest Gegauks ever looked at or listened to. Inman and Davis, of a "Rabbit Foot" company, have recently joined and are making good wherever they go. George Lynnies, our bass soloist, never falls to get his. As a whole the company certainly presents the goods and notwithstanding the bad weather they are having good houses. Messrs. Poole and Rooke deserve great credit for staging such a clever show. They send regards to Will A. Cook, Wise and Milton, Prof. H. Smith, Harry Holmes, John Lamb, Pete Woods and Lewis Salsbury of the Williams and Walker company. Also al friends in and out of the profession. Notes from "A Trip to Africa" company.—Having played as far south as Texas we deemed it necessary to cancel our southern tour, owing to the extreme cold weather which has caused a decided slump in theatrical business in that section of the country. We are now playing return dates to St. Louis, our return there being earlier than expected. The show is, as ever, making good where we have appeared, and the demand for return engagements has indeed been flattering. John Larkins, as Bill and King Dawshe, has proven himself a comedian of exceptionally rare ability and the song, "Shame on You," of his own composition, is the biggest hit of the season. William Craine has provided new costumes etc. Bert Grant, formerly of Jones, Giant and Jones, who needs no introduction, scores nightly in the role of Captian Chinch. Dora Patterson, as the Princess Lulu, is as vivacious and charming as ever in her gorgeous costumes. E. C. Harris, as Uncle Cy, continues to make good. Carrie Smith is successfully singing Hamilton Gordon's latest ballad, "Without You." William A. Vodery, our musical director, has been quite successful. He has written several new musical numbers which deserve a great deal of credit. Mr. John Hill and Carrie Smith will be married during our engagement in St. Louis. The various members of the company send regards to all friends. P. B. Ross Hendrix's Chicago Notes.—The Smart Set company, who are playing a return engagement this week at the Columbus, are the talk of the town, and the general opinion is that they are the best in the business, barring none. The management, in securing S. H. Dudley, the eminent comedian, knew he was a live wire. He deserves great credit for his uniting efforts to become a star, for which he is fully qualified. John Bailey, character of Mr. Smooth, is handled with care and study, making him also a favorite. Marlon Smart, the leading lady, gives entire satisfaction to all who have heard her. Her appearance, gracefulness, singing and dancing are of a higher degree than most colored soubrettes. Hattie Hopkins is another who deserves encouragement for she has a beautiful voice and makes a handsome figure in stage attire. J. Ed Green, the worthy stage manager, undoubtedly knows his business and is thoroughly qualified to handle any attraction. The rest of the supports are all first class, which goes to make the Smart Set the standard bearers. Deas and Deas, the fashion plates, known as the Dusky Bean Brummels, are at the Olympic this week. Their act is all right. Owing to a bad throat that Billy Caldwell is suffering with the team (Caldwell and Thomas) were compelled to cancel this week's engagement at the Haymarket, but will open at the same theater March 13th, St. Louis, Orpheum circuit to follow. In September they sail for London, being booked with Angel and Baur for a fifty weeks' engagement. Tom Logan is having a good time and is enjoying good health. He sends regards to all his friends. Prof. George Henry, the man of many acts, entertained a few friends at the professional headquarters, 2702 State street, with a few of his new and fancy buck dancing steps. A. A. Copland is making a hit in his great singing act, comprising some of the latest productions—"Say, Man, Yo' Got No Home," "My Caroline, Caroline," "South Carolina Sadie" and "Lady, Be My Baby." Will Gregg is featuring "Talent the Kind of Grub I've Been Getting Down Home." S. T. Dunnmore, the greatest of all the Real Dinah Cotton Blossoms are Still Ripe just closed a twenty weeks' engagement with the Hottest Coon In Dixie. Will open at the Pekin week of 27. Regards to all friends. The Hottest Coon in Dixie company have closed their season and are now in Chicago. The Vaughners are in the city. Cook, formerly of Cook and Jones, is kept busy and sends regards to all friends. AT LIBERTY.—A barytone and second violin; strictly sober. will locate or travel. Good people write S. L. Jones 206 Pelican avenue, Algiers, La. GENERAL STAGE NOTES. By Sylvester RUSSELL Mrs. James Grundy mourns the death of her father at Louisville, Ky. Prof. George Mards, ventriloquist, after a much needed rest, will open at Austin and Stone's museum, Boston, Mass., this month. Miss Helen Ogden, prima donna soprano, played Peorla, Ill., last week. Miss Ogden is remembered as one of the women who always willingly contributes to charity. It appears that J. Hamilton Goines, All Andersons latest partner, returns to us under a boom "the greatest male singer of his race." This new sudden surprise will wake up the critics. Why yes, the critics must hear him by all means! Charles "Pass" Arnold and Tom Logan are going back to the beginning of time to give us some early stage history. We will get it in chapters to be continued. We welcome this reassurement of the dead with polite decency. If they will please halt when they get to the beginning of the new era they will give my coming new illustrated history a chance to go twenty reliable years farther, then we can journey together. If the report is true that Pat Chappelle has won a suit against Rusco and Holland for stealing a bandmaster, if he was really stolen, we give Mr. Chappelle credit. Knowing Mr. Chappelle personally, I am sorry to say I would never dare recomend him on his record. I do not base my assertion on his insulting remarks of the past. I have no objections to criticism. I like a square deal. We all hope that performers will be able to sand in better reports about Chappel e in the future, but there is no reason why other managers should not treat him square. --- The New York Clipper "Anniversary Number" which made its appearance on Washington's birthday 1905, all clothed in bronze, and with a frontispiece of blue steel statuary overshadowing a stage picture that looked like Ophelia and Hamlet was the finest issue of any theatrical weekly ever seen in America. Beside photographs of some of New York's handsomest theatres on the inside pages; notably among the pictures of different races of performers will be seen the sweet face of the late Mrs. G. H, Gilbert, an aged historic white actress. Prominently among colored thespians are the Meredith sisters, now in Paris; Johnson and Dean and Rastus and Banks, now in London. Go-won-go Mohawk, Indian actress and a troupe of twelve Arabian acrobats, wonders of the world. The Clipper has always aimed to be fair in its dealing with every race of performers and in this respect far excels the Dramatic News. Business Manager Albert J. Borie must be highly commended for his efforts and the entire Queen Publishing company is to be congratulated. Last and least is a little poem entitled "Clipper Day" contributed by your humble servant on page 2 of the inside paper. --- Bob Slater and Henry Williams are reaping a new reward in high class vaudeville. Do the cheap reporters get paid a regular salary for saying that white Negro comedians are more natural than colored ones? There came a faint cry from Denver, Col., out in the woods, to that effect that didn't count; now we hear it in the East and cannot stand for it. "Quick lunch" reporters remain poor while Dockstader is getting rich, being excused by them for being a topical singer and local insinuator instead of a real Negro character delineator. Frank and Edward Mallory and their wives, Mazie Brooks and Grace Halliday, are on the Orpheum circuit. After being married several years Ed, Mallory has a baby and Frank has none. My, but actors' babies certainly immigrate slow. We can count all their children on the fingers of one hand. --- The "white rats" held their casual midnight scamper Feb. 11th at Hotel Metropole, New York City. Harry Seamon of Hurtig and Seamon and Joe Weber, they say, are members. They and a few song publishers are the latest peek-a-boo addition. It would be nice to see another war to see how it would work. It would be a good opening for the black mice also. Billy Windom's name was not on the list of those who were present. Williams and Gordon have passed over the Orpheum circuit. This passing of examination should soon insure them a pleasant and successful journey to the land of the lovely; to the peaceful paradise of a New York engagement, telling the people they are living. Billy Williams is a contortionist, a wonderful twister, and was once a star feature with Mahara's eastern minstrels. May Yohe sang at a Boston theater concert Feb. 26th. I went to see what she could do. She tipped upon the stage like a school girl. She is not pretty, but has eagle eyes and magnetism—the kind which attracts wicked men. Dressed in a short salmon suit that shaded to brown, with brown stockings and slippers to match, she sang a love song in a coarse alto voice to a man in a box, who sat there for the purpose. What a difference there would be if people were to see Ada Overton, Walker, Belle Davis or Ida Forcen do that. Some time ago the New York Age copied an article entitled "Colored Prima Donnas" from the New York Sun written by a colored man. Every bit of it was wrong excepting one little interview from a well-known actor. Black Patti never sang under the management of John W. Isham in his life time. The Sun and Age will have to look elsewhere if they want to get information about colored actors that people won't laugh at. The Brittons are singing a "Honey" song.

Frank Clermont is now doing a dance. Booking in vaudeville. Marie Bolden and "Picks" are working clubs. Proctor and Hunt are at Proctor's Twenty-third s reet theater. Mrs Sue Grundy's father died last week. The Little Savoy Club of Tampa, Fla., is one of the swellest and finest colored clubs in the country. It is a large two story building richly furnished from ceilar to dome, a library, with some of the best books readable, a drawing room elegantly furnished, two richly furnished parlorors on the ground floor. a swell little ball room with pretty painting on the walls, a ladie's closet room, pool and billiard parlors, tea rooms, a pretty and costly little buffet and a swell bath room for members. The three balls that have been given by the club has handled everything that Tampa has. The club is for the better class of colored people, and they certainly appreciate it. R S Donaldson is president of the club, and he has done as much for his people in regard to making it pleasant for them as any man in Florida. He is a gentleman that is liked by every one that knows him. He is able assisted by his staff—Vice president J. Walker of Boston, Mass.

Patronize our advertisers THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Hearts HALLIE By... ERMINIE RIVES Courageous sparkled down to wasn a tangle or is lands. From adjacent fields came the piping whistle of partridges in grass. Just before the gateway the young man's voice caught him. "For the sake of that one moment, mademoiselle," he said huskily. She paused, looked back and held out her hand. He dropped upon one knee and touched his lips to her fingers. "I am glad I owe my life to you," she said softly. Gazing at him uncertainly an instant, she hesitated, then turned and ran rapidly up the winding drive. Her hound lifted his shag head from the columned porch and came leaping down to meet her, while his whine drew Mammy Evaline peering from the kitchen door, her weather beaten face dilating into a smile. Jarrat sat down again. It is a rowing moment when one's most so thought is laid bare at a slash, waited to hear what the other man say. "Affairs are awry here," Foy coached, "and I must overtake the glove with advices. Meanwhile there is important matter I intend to tell I judge I can speak plain. You mayable to assist in a delicate undertail and you can rest easy Dunnore not be ungrateful, nor will the king ther." A keenness came into Jarrat's rite "Say on," he said. "Very well. Here it is in a nuts. As you perchance know. Lord S mont in Paris has been at much p to keep informed of the feeling in French court. He has letly re "Lawd, dar come mammy's honey chile safe an' sonn!" she cried to Mrs. Tillotson, who came hastily to the steps and waved her hand at the girl's fluttering signal. "Down, Sweetlips! Down!" cried Anne as the hound leaped against her. She stopped, bethinking herself of the indenture. She ran back to the gateway, but the young Frenchman was not to be seen. As she stood peering into the pines the breeze went playing with some torn bits of paper scattered in the ruts. She picked up several fragments and strove to decipher them. "Which term the said bond servant faithfully shall serve **** does covenant with the said Louis Armand, holder," she read. Then she caught her breath and, forbearing to glance in the direction of the forest road, walked toward the anxious figure on the porch of the great house. CHAPTER V. IN the Swan tavern, which lifted its yellow Holland brick front and peaked shingle roof not far from the Yorktown river front, the candles had been early lighted that night. There, as day fainted out, supplying at his ease at a table in the long parlor, sat a man of middle age whose effrontery and insolence had long ago earned him cordial hatred throughout Williamsburg. He was Captain Foy, aid to Governor Dunnmore. He looked up as another guest entered and dropped his knife clattering. "Jarrat" he cried. "I thought you were in London." "So I was; so I was, but I am returned today," Jarrat answered easily. "How goes it at Williamsburg, Captain Foy? And how does Governor Dunnmore with that ant hill of disloyalty?" "He is away with the troops to quell the Indians on the Pennsylvania boundary. He will not see Williamsburg again before November. You stayed not long abroad. I heard you were gone for a year of off duty pleasuring." "These Virginians get in the blood." Jarrat simulated a sigh. "I have lost the old land love, I fear." He did not see fit to tell the true reason of his sea voyage or that he had been more in Paris than in London. He was a more subtle servant of Dumore's than the governor's aid, who dreamed he knew all of the great man's mind. "What has happened since I left, captain?" he finished. The other got up, pulled the door to carefully and came back. "Jarrat, I THE LORD OF THE HALLS wonder if I shall ever see you royal governor of this colony you love so well." Jarrat had risen with an exclamation. "Sit down, man," said Foy. "'Ods bods! 'Tis a fair enough ambition. Why not? You are young, and you can do much yet for Lord Dunnore. The king rewards his servants. Demme, I like you the better for aiming high Stranger things have happened. Methinks Mistress Tillotson would not frown so upon a royal governor, eh?" Jarrat sat down again. It is a harrowing moment when one's most secret thought is laid bare at a slash. He waited to hear what the other might say. "Affairs are awry here," Foy continued, "and I must overtake the governor with advices. Meanwhile there is an important matter I intend to tell you. I judge I can speak plain. You may be able to assist in a delicate undertaking, and you can rest easy Dummore will not be ungrateful, nor will the king neither." A keenness came into Jarrat's face. "Say on," he said. "Very well. Here it is in a nutshell. As you perchance know. Lord Stormont in Paris has been at much pains to keep informed of the feeling in the French court. He has lately reported a growing danger. That rascally son of a tinker, Beaumarchais, whose schemes so tickled the fancy of the old king, has been buzzing about Louis XVI. to some purpose. De Vergennes, his dog of a councilor, was always itching to comfort the colonies. Well, the matter has come to a head, and France's aid is in a fair way to be pledged in the near future to the colonies. Egad, Jarrat, an the rebels' congress knew all that is in the wind at Versailles they would split themselves with joy!" "I warrant," said the listener, non-committal. "Louis," pursued Foy, "is pretty well assured of affairs in the north, thanks to that renegade Franklin, but as to the Virginias he is not so certain. So he is sending over one of his noble poplins to see for him and report. Twas rumored in Paris that the envoy was to be the Marquis de la Trouerie. "I have heard of the gentleman," said Jarrat, with careful deliberation: "Another young poppet of Marie Antoinette's, and a worse republican than Beaumarchais. And you think he will report that Virginia is ripe for insurrection?" "Think! Why, the whole colony is a seethe of it. To be sure he will. Trust the courter to smooth the king the way he would be smoothed." "When does the gentleman arrive?" "A fortnight since word came bither by the Royal George that he was soon to take ship." Jarrat smiled beneath his hand. Knowing himself so close to the governor's confidence, he could afford to be amused. Moreover, he had had more than one meeting while abroad with Lord Stormont in regard to this same matter. Foy's hangman's humor, however, made him a favorite with Lord Dunnmore, and it was still worth Jarrat's while to cultivate him. "I am flattered that you confide in me," he said. "But what will you do with him when he comes? You cannot seize his person." "Why not?" cried Foy pettishly. "There's more to his coming than that, Jarrat. He will report 'aye' to this venture of the king. Well, Louis needs no further messenger. He will straightway make the marquis his envoy. And think you the visitor need be let deliver that message? By the fiend, no! Seize his person, eh? We shall see, Jarrat! The earl knows his muttons. Meanwhile this marquis must be watched for. We must know where to put a finger on him. The lower ports are well under espionage. But some of us must watch here at Yorktown. 'Tis what I want you to do, Jarrat. Gad's life! 'Tis too delicate a matter to intrust to any bogler." "Again you flatter me." Jarrat had been studying Foy through half shut eyes. Now he opened them. "Enough, captain; I accept the commission. I take it upon myself to welcome the noble sojourner should he land here. Who knows, I might even make friends with him?" "Good!" Foy's look wore relief. "I can leave tomorrow for Winchester, then, and shall tell Lord Dunmore that I have confided in you." "Tell his excellency," Jarrat responded as the other rose, "that I shall keep a sharp eye for the marquis. From the moment he lands I shall be his shadow. A pleasant journey, captain. Leave everything to me." "And now," said Foy, "for a bottle of old sherry." Jarrat went to the yard to see him go and when he had disappeared turned his eye to a narrow blank window under the shingle roof. "Louis will send another messenger when the news reaches France! When it reaches France!" he muttered. Then more slowly, "When it reaches France!" He stood musing a moment, turned and entered the door. The radiant Frenchman that evening, returning to the Swan afoot through the late dusk fall, went up the tavern stair to find that the door of his chamber stood ajar. An exclamation of surprise escaped him. He mounted quickly and went in. Jarrat sat there by the little table, waiting. "Ah!" said the secretary. His eye darted swiftly to his chest in the corner. Then he crossed the room and tried the lid. It had not been opened. "I am no common thief, curse it!" spat out Jarrat. "No?" observed Armand, with a ris- ing inflection. "Monsieur will pardon me. I did not know." He sat down composed. "To what do I owe this pleasure?" tentatively. Jarrat leaned elbows on the table and regarded him. "You are no fool," he said at length. "All the better." M. Armand wore a look of polite inquiry. "My word for it," said Jarrat suddenly, "there are rich paymasters than Louis XVI." The other fronted him fiercely, menacingly. "What you you?" he cried. Jarrat laughed. "You see that I know what was the marquis' business in the colonies." He went and closed the door. "Now," he said, returning, "M. Armand, master secretary, clerk of a dead master, I have a proposition to make to you." "And if," said the young foreigner slowly a half hour later, looking across into the ferret eyes—"if I do this—what you call it?—masquerade; if I, the humble secretary, the clerk, as you have said it, become changed for the purposes of my lord the earl to the courtier, the noble"— He paused. They were sitting at ease now, and on Jarrat's face satisfaction was spread thinly, like owl. The ingratiating mood became him, and his companion's distrustful look had vanished into something that smacked more of friendliness. "Think you not," the latter finished, "that these Virginians will know the difference?" "'Sblood!" scoffed Jarrat. "What know they here in the desert of French nobles? No more than my lord bishop of London's scullery maid!" An expression of curious intentness lurked in Armand's face. He was silent, searching the other with half smiling gaze. "And the life. Like you balls and dances with the quality? You shall be sought after. Would you set the fashions for the gallants? They will jostle the lackeys to hob with yōu. Gad's life! The colonials are cubs at boot-licking a lord! The fat of the land. I tell you-rides, hunts, dances, wenches and a merry season!" The secretary's eyes sparkled. "You think I would do it well?" he asked naively. "Ah, you never saw my master! He was a real nobleman. He was born so. One cannot learn it, monsieur. It is in the blood. But I? I? I have not the ton, the address?" He looked inquiringly at the other. "Pshaw!" Jarrat said. "I suppose your master is fine enough, but fine feathers will do it. There's not one of them will scent the difference. I know them." M. Armand's lids were drooped, his face thoughtful. "You wish me," he reflected slowly. "to do two things. My master, as you have guessed—he was to be the eye of the king of France in the Virginias. Very good. You want me to be that eye. Only I shall see things always bad for the Whigs, eh? And you would have me write such letters as you shall frame, but in my master's hand, so Louis shall be fooled, so he shall think the Virginias loyal to the English crown, so he shall no longer plan to offer the aid of France." "Sooth," applauded Jarrat, "it couldn't be plainer. You have written to your master's hand and should know his signature. Neither De Vergennes nor Beaumarchais need be the wiser, and be sure no one in the colonies will be." "And if in spite of what were written him this foolish king should still wish to comfort?" "Why, then the message he sends to his dear marquis will come safe to you, and we shall chuckle over it in our closets. But small chance of that. The king leaned upon your master. A dozen letters of the proper complexion and he will forget he ever dreamed of fleets a-sailing westward." "You have the true finesse, M. le Capitaine," M. Armand said gravely. "Permit me to congratulate you." "The reward is a tidy one." Jarrat licked the words lingeringly. "Twould take you longer to earn a commission in your own country." "In France to be an officer in the army one must prove descent from a family ennobled for at least a hundred years." "Nor are doubloons to be plucked from the bushes by any stool pigeon." "It is not too much, monsieur," the Frenchman interposed, "because you pay me for what I know of my master—h habits, speech, writings, seal, all. I can write so that the king of France will never know he is dead—never till I choose. He will send no other; no—not till he has found it out. But when he does, what then? Shall I escape his wrath? Shall I not be an alien, an exile from my country?" Jarrat bent toward him and spoke smilingly in the arrogance of full blood: "Is there no compensation even for that? Look, you! There be bright eyes in the middle plantation—bright eyes and red lips and little walsts and soft ways. There are slender fingers to be kissed, and these fingers oft hold purse strings. Love is a pretty game, and by benefit of clergy 'tis sometimes wed with broad plantations that bring golden guineas across the water." He laughed at the look the other gave him. "Zooks!" he cried. "Why not? Think you the proudest of them all would not blush to be wooed by a noble? There are few 'my lords' in the valleys." M. Armand sprang up, pushed the shutters of the window wide and leaned out, drawing a deep, long breath. Dark was come down over a moonless vast flooded with waves of bishop's purple, to which trees lent a deeper mystery of shadow. When he turned his face was tender, his eyes luminous. "Virginia ladies," Jarrat continued, "are as proud as any court dames. They have the St. James sifff for the court."

Stearles were at home in honor of their 25th or silver anniversary. To say that society was royally entertained does not adequately express the delightfulness of the occasion. Washington hall, where Captain and Mrs. Stearles received their guests, was a bower of beauty, lighted with red shaded electric lights, which cast a mellow light over the scene. The costumes of the ladies against the background of the somber full dress of the gentleman only added to the beauty of the occasion. In the receiving line were only the immediate members of the family, Captain, and Mrs. Stearles being assisted by their children—Mr. and Mrs Jay Stearles. Miss Edna and Meers Carl and Willis Stearles Mrs. Stearles was attired in a black silk costume with blue silk bodice and black lace trimmings. Mrs Jay Stearles wore white persian mull with lace trimmings, while Miss Edna was attired in figured French organdle over silk with lace trimmings the gentlemen being in conventional full dress. The reception room was beautiful in its color scheme of red predominating. He wears long black curls, patent leather boots and carries an English walking cane. He expects to return to England this summer. Internal Revenue Collected F. W. Tucker has appointed H. E. Courtney of Warren, Ark., deputy collector for the Fourth district to succeed J. N. Donahoo of Helena, resigned. The appointment was made recently and became effective March 1 Donahoo, the incumbent, is one of the leading Negro Republicans of the state, while his successor has been one of the most active young white Republicans of his section of the state Mr. Courtney holds a commission as a captain in the Arkansas state guard I; has not yet been detrimmed where the headquarters of the new official will be located. Donahoo's resination was received several days ago and the reason assigned for his action at that time was the press of private business C Two cotton planters of Houston county Texas, have been arrested by Sheriff Payne of Madison county, which is on the other side of the Trinity River, for a new kind of peonage. The Madison planters crossed the river and captured two Negroes whom they charged with belag indebited to them and with having violated their contracts. Without resort to law they manacled the Negroes and removed them to their plantation. It is explained by the sheriff that this practice of capturing Negroes when labor is needed on the plantations has prevailed for some time in the lower part of Madison county, where the population is mainly Negro. The captured Negroes are worked only during the cotton planting season and are then released and allowed to return to their own homes, where they support themselves until they are needed again, when they are recaptured. Sheriff Payne has started in to break up the abuse. In the dining room cut plants and potted plants wrought out the colors of pink and white. The punch bowl was presided over by Misses Hawkins, Blanton and Sanford. The ball room was resplendant in red and green; here, also, were potted and cut flowers used in profusion. Palms, carnations, ferns and hearts being the main decorations. The hours from 8 to 10 and 10 to 12 were well filled by the constant stream of callers. Music was furnished by Smith Bros' orchestra. Luncheon was served by a corps of waiters under the efficient management of Mr. John W. Mosely. Taken altogether it was one of the most delightful occasions it has ever been our lot to attend and those who had the good fortune to attend were loth to tear themselves away. All join in wishing Capt. Stearles and his very charming wife many more such happy mile stones, and only hope they will again treat us so royally as they have demonstrated themselves host and hostess par excellent Solomon White of Springfield and Mr. and Mrs. Jay Stearles were guests from away. We only wish space would allow us a complete list of the many useful and beautiful presents received, but can safely say it was the largest collection of handsome presents it has been our lot to see on such an occasion.

The Philadelphia Giants have joined the Interstate league o' Pennsylvania. "Lightning" Murray, the champion lightweight of the 10th cavalry, writes us that he is in fine form and has recently come out winner of five decisive battles. He sends regards to all friends in Morgan City, La. It was no suprising thing for Young Corbett to loose out as he did in his fight with "Battling" Nelson. Any athlete that will go the pace that Corbett has, cannot, in no way, compete with that man who wards off abuse to himself. The Harvard College baseball team has declined to arrange games for the coming season with the Georgetown base ball club, because that club refused to permit Matthews, the Negro member of Harvard's batting team, to play in a game last season. The new ball grounds are about completed and only the powers of the sun are needed to put it in condition for services. This park will be of more convictions to the fans than the old one. In the first place it is nearer, then their is plenty of room for seeing and a grand stand so built that all may get good seats. The season for base ball is nigh and I expect this one to be a more lively one than last Indianapolis is to have a strong league and a new park, which I understand, is now in construction. Mr. Bud Fowler, probably one of the best all around best ball players that ever stepped in a diamond, dropped in a few days ago to look things over. Mr Fowler is manager of the famous Black Tourist team. He says that this season will be a busy, interesting one for his men. While here he arranged to have several games to come off with some of the crack teams of this city. Only two weeks from to morrow when the members of the Indianapolis base ball team will report here for practice. What joy fourfold fills the heart of the fan to know that it won't be long before he shall hear that glorious cry of "Play ball!" Then one of the best team of Indians that has ever been organized here will go after the pennent in a way that is certain to capture it. If every base ball lover could meet Mr. Edward G Barrow, the new manager, they would easily decide within themselves WOMAN'S WORLD This column will be devoted to the interests of women.

If the heart is right it will require any superhuman effort to courteous to everybody and you will not be polite for the sake of seem polite but for the sake of being kind. There are more than 18,300 women the government employ. More than half are employed at the executive departments in Washington. The ages these women range from 18 to 70 years. The work done by the most of them clerical, but some have professional technical and scientific positions. Women have always received courtesies from the opposite sex and being so accustomed to it they oftimes fail to give them the slightest consideration. A few mornings ago a young woman stopped a car, (she had left her umbrella when she was a passenger on the same car the trip previous to that one) she told the conductor in a most insolent manner that she wanted her umbrella. The conductor answered very pleasantly: "I saved it for you," and gave it to her. She took it and walked away without saying a word. It did not seem to occur to her that she should thank him. If anyone is thoughtful enough of to open a door, give you a seat in the car or restore to you your handkerchief (even if it is bad looking and you do not want to own it) it is your duty to recognize the fact. It is not necessary to enter into a conversation with a stranger on that account, for that would be quite an improper thing to do, but to say 'thank you' in a pleasant manner would show that you appreciated the attention. When you meet an old, crippled man or woman or an old soldier who are generally, so delighted to speak to everybody a return "good morning" or "how do you do" will not be misplaced nor will you be accused of being a flirt because you haven't met them formally. The insane habit of greeting your friends and acquaintances with a jerky little nod of the head is growing among women. If the individual is worthy of your notice in your own opinion at all then be civil enough to speak, if not do not make any attempt at recognizing them. You might injure your neck. Women have certain rights which every man should respect, and whether he does or not lies in your hands. The woman who respects herself, is king and that he means strickly business and that he will stand no "monkey business." He knows good base ball and good base ball players from the word go. He knows well how to get the best results out of each player. So far Mr Barrow has got a fine selection of men together and men which you can make no doubt are the ones necessary to bring us and keep us at the top Indianapolis does herself credit in getting Mr. Barrow who will greatly strengthen her in this special line. The St. Paul American Association team will open the season at Cincinnati, April 2, with the Famous Black Tourist team. This Famous Black Tourist team is made up of the leading colored stars of the country. This is a team of extraordinary habits. Their gentlemanly deportment, on and off the diamond is suberb Their coaching and funny sayings alone are worth the price of admission. This team has been to every part of the country where base ball is known, and bids fair to be the leading one operated by men of color in the United States.

More than half are employed at the executive departments in Washington. The ages of these women range from 18 to 70 years. The work done by the most of them is clerical, but some have professional, technical and scientific positions and some whose labors are classed as "mechanical," those include women who assist in the printing of postage stamps and currency at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and those employed in the various mailing rooms, where tons and tons of government documents are sent out. No special qualifications are required of the woman who seeks a position. Age, color nor religion are not considered. It is necessary to pass a civil service examination. For each promotion it is necessary to pass an additional civil service examination. The salary at the beginning is generally from $40 to $50 a month. Each promotion usually means an advance in salary of $100 to $200 per year. There are many desirable government positions open to women other than those at Washington. Teachers in the public schools in Porto Rico and the Philippines are among them. The women of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the A. M. E. church of Indiana are publishing a paper at Crawfordsville, "The Missionary Gem," the fourth Saturday in every month. Mrs. M. A. Teelster, of that city, is the editor-in-chief: Mrs. Anna C. Claybourn, of Indianapolis, and Miss Hattle Fossett, of Franklin, are associate editors. The object of this publication is to unite the forces in missionary work in this state that a more effective work may be done. Its motto is: "Christ our Leader, the World Our Field." The first issue came out in January. - x - Don't be too anxious to show off. Your friends have no difficulty in discovering your virtues if you have any.
