The Freeman

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.

NUMBER 1 INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1905 PRICE FIVE CENTS ISITS THE HOME OF GENERAL SMALLS, THE GRAND OLD MAN. WHO RELATES TO HIM INTEREST- g Happenings in His Busy Life—Preacher's Paradise, a Good Name for Beaufort, S. C., He Says—Negro Postmasters in Evidence. Charleston, S. C., Special.—Since I wrote last Georgetown has suffered loss in the death of Mr. Howard, one of her most honored citizens. The funeral services were conducted by Drs. Cott, Bennett and Sterrett. The Howard family is one of the most prominent in the state. I was in Beaufort last week and I am sure that the mere mention arouses your interest. Yes, Beaufort is the home of Gen. Smalls, ex-representative, ex-congressman and a host of other things that tell how busy his life has been. I experienced more pleasure in shaking his hand and than usually comes to me on meeting men. There are Attorney Washington, the Hon. Reed, Prof. Peques, Fisher, the wide wake business man and all around success, and a great many others. "Preacher's Parable" is a good synonym for Beaufort among the ministers are to be found the scholarly Dr. Watson, Bythewood, Crum, collector of the port of another kingdom) Thomas, Lawrence, Rivers, Jefferson, Chavis, and a few odd dawn or more. The gentlemen above named are able leaders and keenly alive to the interest of the people. Dr. Kennedy has a fine practice and able in every sense to defend the dignity of his profession. Dr. Singleton is the "new vector," as our people would say, but a mighty young man. When I go to B-auffort I shall take sick just to see how I must take him to have me up. Five one that it will be a record breaker. The one life that our people in Beaufort is very high indeed. They have nice homes in which a crowned head might not blush to seek shelter and there are other homes in those keeping. I mention with pride W. Thomas, Izard's Glover's Wrights' DeVoes' Washington and could name many others, but for consideration of your space I will not mention. Negroes control the livery business of the town, it is in fact a livery trust. Miss Mack, the drugstreet, is an honor to the race and to the town. Competent, pretty, 'er, well, congratulations. In and around Beaufort the Negro postmaster is to be found in all his glory. The Old Roman has guarded the interest of his race well at this point. Edesta, St. Helena and Port Royal are places where the Negro is not swaiing the color of his skin, but on sale may be seen in town between the courthouse (where sales are made) and the bank where he has the "stuff to land the woods."

Green, the efficient stage manager of the Smart Set, it was m5 pleasure to spend one afternoon behind the scenes during @ matinee perform. ance last week About one honr before the time for the opening the members are all in thelr dressing rooms, each room being occupied by from three to four persons, They exchange their street clothes for their stage costumes and tone up their complexion for the first act. There te no particular rule todress by, but the women have their own way as all other women, Some are ready long before their time, while others take up every minnte of the time given. The last call was made and everybody went quickly upstairs. The stage manager standing before them while arranging his tie sald, “All to places,” the curtain went up and you eaw them in all thelr splen- dor. For thelr different turns each one goes directly, if it calls for a change in drese, to the dressing rooms. There is no wasting of time. Qalckness isa very necessary;qualification for the profes- sion Misses Hattie Hopkins and Marion Smart are as sweet and pretty as when you saw them as Lucinda Johnson and ‘Mrs. Demar. Mamle Emerson is in love with her work and is quite ambi- tious. Florence Mitchell, her chum, is a wide awake and energetic little soul, and both are very pleasant. Jeannette Foster is as much a child going from one room to the other, doing an errand for one of her friends, saying in a small voice, ‘Have yon change for ten dol: lars?” aa she seems when as “Moana” restored to the American millionaire ‘That day was pay day and everybody was happy, and all the feminine hearts were beating an accompaniment to some fond expectation.

Jeannette Brown, Florence Smiley, Ada Micken, Pinkle O. oper, Georgia Dobbs, Eva Swinton, Agnes Rillings, Sadle Mears, Cecll Reese, Lizzie Wal- lace, Kittie Post, Daisy Butts and Kita Gross are all hard workers. They are consolentious and interested in their work and have it well in hand. They are all good looking; in fact there ien’t an ugly woman in the show. Their dispositions are about as good and even as the majority of self-supporting wo- men, Madame Jennie Hillman is one of the Hula Hala girls and is wardrobe mistress, The fine appearance of the costumes is due to her carefal attention The routine of the men are about the same. All men, I believe, can dress quickly, Mr. Jerry Mills, the detective, is an under study and knows every- body's part and his too, and oan find what will interest you as easily as he found “Buster Blue” (Billy) Johnson. with Mr. Bullion’s lost papers. Mr. Green is just as highly cultnred and at- tentive to bis people as he is when he sings ‘Good Night, Lucinds,” and as commanding as when he is Mr. Cain, the wealthy sugar planter.

The colored waiters of Washington, D. C.,reaped a harvest during the in- ‘suguration, and only wish the ceremo- nies would occur annually. The white waiters, and especially the girl waiters, are gradually pushing the colored waiters to the wall. It is high time that the colored boys should wake ‘up or it will be too late, Wm. F. T. Chandler, headwaiter of the Merchants’ Hotel, St. Paul, Minn., has been on the sick list for three weeks; 1s now improving rapidly and is expect- ed to return to work in a few days, ‘The colored Progressive Republican Olub and colored citizens of Salt Lake City have sent in a strong petition for the appointment of W Forrest Cozart,. editor, of the Waiters’ Department in The Freeman, headed by Thomas H. Frame, for a South American consul. _ Elsewbere will be seon an article clipped from the Philadelphia Hotel Reporter, which shows that all the hotel publications, like the dally press, are arrayed against the colored waiter.

And then, though too late, in the words of Lord Tennyson, ery out, “But oh for the touch of the vanished hand and a sonn¢ of the voice that is still ” Colored Waiters vs. White Waiters. ‘The sudden popularity of the Euro- pean plan in American hotels has caused more or less turmoil & the colored waiters’ camp. They feel as if the ad- vent of European manners and style fs &n encroachment on their prerogatives as the primal servitors of this continent, and consider waiting their natural end legitimate vocation. Ever since their delivery from bondage their aim and ambition has drifted into the dining hall, and while some people are of the opinion that they are fully the equal of their European craftemen. the idea aeems to be presumptuous, The art of waiting 1s not encompassed in the mere serving people with the food ordered Far be it that the American plan of catering to the public ts the essence of what the calling realiy tmpliea Waiting 1s a profession requiring the use of vartous intellectual fanctions To attend to a Person’s culinary wants does not mean to merely be submissive and place: before him the prepared vitals, but demands a certain amount of judgment as well as a knowled,:e of the prevailing ethics of the table ser- vice. In the latter two requirements ts where most all colored waite.s lack. They have neither that consplouons slertaess audtact the well trained white walter exhibits, nor do they know the polished accompaniments that belong to advanced table duties, The colored waiter need not look to his extinction, as the American plan will never entire- ly go out of existence, but he can bring his mind to the realization of the faot that he has misconstrued the meaning of waiting as applied to the Haropean mode of serving the table. From a temperamental standpoint, the colored walter is more easily gov- erned than his superoiiious confrere, but his phlegmatio nature and lack of adaptation will ever be obstacles to his Accession as an adept in the art of oul- tared and practical waiting —Philadel- phia Hotel Reporter. o Why Are Oolored Waiters. Supposed Not To Be Competent ? A question worthy of consideration and of the best reply, 1s asked by the Publisher of a leading hotel weekly. There are a thonsand and one good writers who read this paper weekly, who are able to throw some light on the subject, and for which other readers would be thankful, and out of which there might come a great aud beneficlal lesson. The spirit of the hotel keeper to-day is for economy, progress and style. In all their business. meetings they discuss these problems among themselves and return to their hotels to. Act accordingly, and invariably the question of help resolves itself into res- olution t» make a change in the dining room, and this change fe from colored. men to elther girls or white men waiters. Why is this trnet Style. There is not 8 colored man holding a position to-day north of the Ohio and east of the Mis- sissipp! who feels p«rfeotly safe, no an- noyance from the perplexing problem ofa posslble change. Some may flatter themselves with the idea that ‘I am all right,” bat down in his heart he has a fear. Now the question of the colored waiter's competency seems to have been settled long ago. If this is true, then what ts the trouble? Where, oh where, ‘are we to place the burden of the com Plaints, and how are we $0 account for discrimination against the Negro walt- ert When a new hotel is abont to open its doors to the public there is never a question as to who will be the waiters; {ts @ foregone conclusion that no colored help will bs employed. What is the ‘oanse of this prejudice against the col- ored man? = We have many intelligent young men among the ranks of the officers of the dining room, and would like to hear some expression from them on the eub- ject. Headwaiters are, of conrse, ex- pected to reply in defense of his men. It woald be unmanly for any thinking man to let slip an opportunity Ike this tosay @ word for the good of all con- ‘cerned in a waiter’s work. The question of economy is a simple problem to-day compared to the “help” question to hotel keepers, And this question resolves into the question of “style,” and which is the best for my business? Wherever you turn you note evidences of the decision of the hotel proprietor in the matter, and rarely you see @ colored face. One of the ar- guments advanced for these changes is the colored waiter is not clean, is not quick of action unless a tip is in sight, Cleanlinc ss is not a virtue, but the back- Bround of manliness and an evidence of strong personality. Why then fa the colored waiter sal@ to be unclean? Is it trae, and. if eo, who is to blame? __Now, we hope that the man who re- Plies will not enter into personaiities, but give sonnd and beneficlal advice on the subject. It ts said by ® man high in the pro: fession that the # fiction of the colored walter to-day is the “dickey,” and that these are worn long after they ought to haye been in the trazh barrel in the basement of the hotel. ‘The man who cannot afford to wear 8 clean white shirt at this season of the Year {sa nuisance and shou'd be forced to look for other kind of work. ‘There 1s absolutely no argument to the con- trary, when we consider that anything solled is soiled, no matter what its color, it ts soiled, and when worn sim- ply because it does not show dirt, mean not only dirty, but unfit for the society of good people. Does the colored wait- er wear ‘“‘dickeys?” and, if so, what is the point of saving and prcfit? This.ts written to develop thought among men whom it will do much good. We wait now to hear from the waiter. SONGS OF HOPE, What is the:most beautifal thing?

SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1905. JAPAN TEACHING THE WORLD. The amazing victories of the Japanese armies in Manchuria have astonished the whole civilized world. The mighty armies of Russia, supposed to be the greatest fighting power of modern times, have been crushed like egg shells before the impetuous onset of the little brown men, guided by the ablest of generals and assisted by the very perfection of strategy and tactics. But it is not the great victories in battle that contribute the most interesting feature of the situation. It is the wonderful efficiency, nobility, intelligence and preparedness for every emergency, exhibited by the nation as a whole, that challenge the attention of all intelligent observers. This race of dark men, until recently regarded as heathens or only half civilized, are giving lessons to the most enlightened nations. They are showing them how to do things, how to make success practically sure by omitting nothing calculated to bring success. The Japanese are an educated people. Education is compulsory in their country and they have the finest school system on earth. No child is allowed to grow up without an education and every girl and boy is taught the value of labor from earliest infancy. They are trained to do useful things and are taught the value of system in all that they undertake. Skill, united with intelligence, habits of obedience, sobriety and tireless industry are the qualities of the men who compose the armies, whose deeds have set the whole world talking in admiration of their achievements. It is not simply as fighters and marchers that they beat the Russians, but they show superiority in many other ways. There are no stragglers or skulkers among the Japanese soldiers. Every man is in his place, well up to the front and prepared for every duty. The Japanese leave no gaps down, they trust nothing to blind chance and do not depend on mere luck to carry their points. The Japanese have the best hospital and medical departments that have ever been seen in war. Their arrangements for the comfort and health of the private soldier are well nigh perfection. They have the best guns yet devised by the wif of man and they are served with a precision that astonishes the military critics. Their commissary and quartermasters departments are on a par with the rest, and everything high and low work with the perfection of machinery. There is no grafting, no corruption, no wasting of money or provisions. Every Japanese dollar counts and is put where it will do the most good. There are no "embalmed beef" scandals, as in our Spanish war, no incompetent's loaded on the official staff by political "pulls," no dead-beats of any kind tolerated. These are the reasons that have enabled the Japanese to organize the most perfect military machine, the most invincible army that ever marched on this planet. Do we not see here the Booker T. Washington idea applied to war? Bravery, of course, is essential and the successful fighting is what counts for victory. But it is the previous training of the men, their schooling, the teaching and drill to which they were subjected that have brought all these marvelous results. It is a valuable lesson in war, but an infinitely more valuable one for peace. It ceases how a nation may get the best results for its people and from its people. They must be educated and taught how to make themselves useful in all the walks and occupations of life. They must love their country and their government, because it is a good country and a good government. Patriotism cannot be forced. A people kept down by bayonets, overtaxed, oppressed, given THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. a bad law and a worse religion, left in ignorance and treated as cattle, as the Russians long have been, will despise their government and make both bad citizens and bad soldiers. A discontented people will always be an unpatriotic people and a misgoverned people soon become fit only for "treasons, stratagems and spoils." NEGRO NOT A HINDRANCE Dr. William D. Crum, whose contest for the collectorship of the port of Charleston, S. C., and President Roosevelt's persistence in nominating and renaming him until the Senate was forced to confirm, has given him a national reputation, recently visited Washington and delivered a notable lecture at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church. His subject was "Is the Negro a Hindrance to the Progress of the Nation?" Bishop Wesley J. Galnes 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 thirteen 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 higher 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 which 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. Dr. Crum is evidently one of our ablest leaders and should be heard from offender. He has the mental poise and self-possession and ability for logical reasoning that marks the true leader. The stupid charge that the Negro is a hindrance cannot be too sharply refuted. He has done much and is still doing his full share towards the progress and development of the country. He has always proved a true patriot, both in war and peace, and surely no one can deny his mighty part in the industrial development of the South. It was his sturdy hands that rolled up last year's phenomenal cotton crop of 11,000,000 bales. It is his toll that plows the fields, plants the grain, digs the ditches, builds the bridges and makes the transportation wheels go around. What would the South have been, what could it do now without him? Meantime, he has been reducing illiteracy by patronage of the free schools until he has nearly caught up with the race that had all the advantage of centuries in this respect. Meantime he has been accumulating for himself millions of acres of land and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of other property. He has come to the front with educators, statesmen, lecturers and teachers that challenge comparison with all others. He has done well, remarkably well, and will do still better under half way fair treatment from the dominant race. Oh, no, the Negro is not a hindrance but a distinct factor in helping forward the country's development. Let the white race but do its duty to the Negro and, depend upon it, the Negro will do his full duty to the white race and the whole country. PROSPEROUS COLORED NORMAL SCHOOL. The Institute for Colored Youth, of Philadelphia, Pa., (founded 1837) has recently been reorganized to develop a normal school which will correlate academic and industrial education. One of the features of its work will be a summer school with graded courses for persons who are actually engaged in teaching. The first session of the summer school will begin, this year, July 1st and continue until August 1st. The new school is situated at Cheneyney, Pa., nineteen miles from Philadelphia. The location is admirably adapted in all its features to do summer school work. The grounds cover 117 acres. The management intends to offer up-to-date courses of instruction to be given by specialists of acknowledged merit and success. The work will be under the direction of the principal of the institute, Prof. Hugh M. Browne, who conducted the Hampton Summer Normal School for four years. Booker T. Washington highly approves of Prof. Browne's enterprise and thinks the opening of a summer school will greatly help our race. In writing to the principal he says that many teachers in the South would like to go North for the benefit of a cooler climate during the summer. Teachers in the city schools, both North and South, like to get into the country for a few weeks during the summer months. The Freeman agrees with all this and cordially recommends Cheyney to all our aspiring teachers who are desirous of pushing up their attailments by attendance at a well conducted summer school. As only a limited number can be accommodated this summer those desiring to attend should apply at once. Tuition, board and lodging for the season amounts to ten dollars. A second announcement, to be made later, will give the courses of study and the names of the instructors. Cheyney is near Philadelphia, with all its beauties and historic spots of interest and there are fourteen trains daily each way between the two places. Atlantic City, the famous summer resort, is less than two hours' ride, with cheap excursions daily. Negroes of New York and adjoining States have met and drafted a constitution and by-laws for a Negro political organization of national scope. It will be known as the National Colored Voters' League and will be a sort of annex to the Republican party, working independently, but always in the interest of Republicanism. The leaders intend to hold a national convention of colored voters and to have a thorough organization, including district, county and State associations. The delegates to the national convention will be chosen from the several State organizations, two from each congressional district and there will also be the regular delegates at large. This is said to be the first definite movement of the sort undertaken and those who are behind it say that they have every prospect of making it a success. There have been national Negro organizations, like the Afro-American Council, but they never amounted to much. The President's appointment of Mr. Anderson as revenue collector of New York was Rooseveltian all over. He knew this colored man well, knew him to be well qualified and deserving and of his own motive, without consulting the two New York senators, determined to give him an important office in the greatest of the States. He thus fity recognizes a large body of his supporters while keeping his promise not to shut the door of hope to the Negro race. It also refutes the southern sneer that Republican Presidents are eager to appoint Negroes to high places in the South, but never in the North. Mr. Roosevelt has the nerve to always do the right thing at the right time and is carrying out his pledge to give every man a "square deal." The recent legislature did some things which it ought not to have done, and left undone some things which it ought to have done, but, on the whole, it was a very creditable body and a big improvement over what Indiana has been having of late years. It is to be regretted that it did not pass the bill for the colored orphans' asylum, but perhaps that worthy measure may have better luck next time. But the track elevation bill for Indianapolis and the tightening up of the Nicholson law with a local option clause, were of themselves enough to make this legislature notable if it had done nothing else. Our friend, John Ward, seems to be the only colored man who got anything worth while out of the late legislature. The Senate voted him two dollars a day, or about one hundred and twenty-two dollars for his services as boot-black, and nobody who knows the genial John will begrudge him his good luck. Added to what he took in for "shines" and "sweeps" it netted him a neat little sum, all of which, no doubt, John can find a place for. War is a bad thing at best, but it seems that occasionally a nation has to fight for its rights as the only means of showing the metal it is made of. The world will know the Japanese great deal better from this on than it did a year ago, and it is safe to say that the greatest nations will treat the island kingdom with respect. Togo's navy and Oyama's army have done in a year what a hundred years of diplomacy would not accomplish. The Filipinos should not kick on a little manifestation of race prejudice, stirred up by jealousy at Bloomington, because they beat the white students to the favor of the town girls. After they have run full up against the Anglo-Sanon's ambitions and appetites for a few centuries and in millions, they will begin to realize what "race oestracism" means.

What's the matter with discontented colored farm laborers in the South and elsewhere seeking homes in the West? There are plenty of places where work can be obtained, and with a little capital a home may be secured. In these western communities there is not so much race prejudice and honest workers are welcomed to develop the country. Because Mr. Anderson got a good appointment is no reason why all the rest of us should be rushing up to the pie-counter and demanding something "equally as good." The President can't give us all an office; in fact but a comparatively few, either white or black, can reasonably expect federal positions. Senator Kittinger insists that Ananias Baker told a lie when he said he had received a $100 bribe. But this can't be true, we reckon. If Ananias had told a lie wouldn't he have dropped dead, or otherwise belied his Bible namesake? "Cigarette" Baker has been duly indicted by the grand jury for trying to bribe his namesake.

The aggregation of colored players, known as the Smart Set, which has been touring the country with great success, en- tertained magnificent audiences in this city three evenings 0° last week, also at the matinees, The audiences were fairly di- vided as to r.ces. The generous applause given throughout the performances Is taken as an Indication of the high favor in w vich the company is held in thisclty. The daily press was no less generous in its criticism, insisting that to see ihe company was an opportunity. A few years ago the now well-known or- ganization set out before the public under ths gulding genius of Billy McCiain, the weil-known player, who was fresh from his trlumphs in Australia, and Ernest Hogan, ‘the conceded premier comedian of the Re Ot Me oe OS las Set aes LE aad eta) o> me ees - sa = oS) eo : ee | i oe we Ee oe or Led eae me Fe eae . se ae ee eS Pe ae Rc LE ee woe Hert et ee es ee . ae CO Mm “SRST ES se ip eo sal Rt ee Vy i ‘ i. . Ly MR, LAWRENCE CHENAULT, i, American stage. These two on their way home from the land of kangaroos came by the way of the Hawalian Islands, conclue- ing them to be just the card as to the piace to “pitch” the proposed play. The idea wad carried out, and after much heralding the company set out with fear and ‘trem- bling. The title was a happy thought, proving that sometimes there is more in a name than suspected. The first company was excellent, but large and somewhat unwieldy, and | may presume a burden to the door receipts; it was quite pretensious, ambitious, seemingly fearful that it would not weather the gale of criticism. The ‘business was fairly overdone owing to the zeal to do well. Thereis no denying, how- ever, but what the herculean effort put forth by the first managers created a sort of popular glamour in which the succeed ing companies have lingered, making the name Smart Set somewhat synonymous with success. Much of the hurrah and ec at with which the company was launched have been cut out, and for the better—it is strengthened by the simpiitication. It is believed that the present company richly m rits its abundant success and that the Suczess is not due to any legacy further than that of the happy naming. ‘The changes in the presentation this year are so marked that the most casual obser- ver noted them, and to the more careful observer appear no less than an index of the colored players’ future, also their pres- ent status, Managers of colored compa: nies have been often at their wits’ end to know just what the public woud “stand for" from colored shows. The statement will be understood by those who know the raclal situation in America; for do what we will, or where we may, and that thin yet ramifies—the race question. In a con- versation with Mr. J. Ed, Green, the very versatile and gentleman.y stage manager, he spoke from experience on the point. The process of evolution is on, and by evolution I have in mind the reduction of an excessive amount ot “Nigger” in the worst sense, taking on more of the Negro of “quality’’—a little elimination and sub- stitution as it were. It is taking; proving more acceptable to colored patrons, a treat tothe whites who are learning to appreciate the Negro in the higher spheres—new roles. In fact, a faithful representation of colored soclety as it is understood Is good to see— “Sots’ ot truth mixed uo with it, you know —that's where the laugh comes in. The colored players also prefer a littie higher order of comedy or comle opera, so noted fn the presentation last week: they are willing to do some coon songs, to do some buck and wing dancing, to do some low Negro stunts, but there ere also artists among them that can shine and have right through natural endowment and ac- quired to do so. The change for the better is coming slowiy. It does not mean that a foot ba’ rush fs expected for the high class, but i does meen an exit for some from the low. est vari-ty. Judging by the app‘aust given the comic opera hits, a first clas comic opera company will bs the firs strictly legitimate to stand the test. The Sart Set to-day is about one-fourth com ¢ opera or may well be considered so.

They do splendid work, but they work everywhere which, of course, is in ‘the sense of economy and may be neces sary for the safe financial conduct of the show, S. H. Dudley, comedian, the George Washington Bullion, belongs to the Hogan class; not quite so natively funny, but with better judgment. Dudley knows ‘where to ring off. Hogan is great, but apparently seeks to overshadow the rest of the busi ness. Dudley aims to fit in—to fill his place well; he does it. He is a finished actor, funny without apparent effort and so natural that you would not be surprised to meet the sams Mr. Bullion coming down the street, Miss Marion Smart is indeed the smart lady of the Smart Set. She 1s good where they put her, and they do not forget to put her. She has a beautiful voize, clear as an alto bell; blessed with a superb figure; her face appears handsome above the footlights Jn spite of the asseverations of her partner, Mr. Bailey. She sings sentimental song: fairly well, but coon songs are her “home.” Miss Smart is an actress of ability an¢ would fare well in light comedy.

It has been the sadest news of an actors death that we have recorded. With the blessings of youth and an except- fonal disposition that added happiness to all his surroundings it is hard to realize that this unfortunate young man has gone from us fcrever.

"Mine to choose," the young foreigner said as if to himself—"mine to choose!" He looked out again into the dark, while his tempter smiled discreetly behind him. "But to win—it is always to keep, monsieur? Some time—some time the truth must come to light. She whom I would win must love me. Would she love me then?" He spoke low, rather to the outer silence than to the other. "Pooh!

When the game is over the heifer is in the stall, and there's the commission to console her. Bethink, too, that the game is honored by the governor's approval. "Tis a crown service, done at the solicitation of the royal governor. We shall presently set out for Winchester, where he lies with the troops. He shall guarantee this betimes there. What say you?" Jarrat's voice was contemptuous. M. Armand turned from the darkness, his look suddenly changed. "Yes," he said slowly. "I will do it." His visitor rose with a covert twist to his lips. "You have decided well," he said. "You have the assurance to succeed too! To flutter the farthingales you will need money, of course." "Money?!" the other smiled. "And me the Marquis de la Trouerie? Talk of money between gentlemen? Plenty of time for that—afterward." "Better and better," said Jarrat, the old sneer returning now that the game was won. "It bespeaks good faith. I hope you shared your master's gold with our honest skipper, Elves. But you will need brave clothes. 'Tis not too much you look like a marquis at present." M. Armand laid his finger on his lip laughingly. "Ah, that is my secret. Clothes!" He crossed to the chest, unlocked it with a key from his pocket, threw it open and began with rapidity to take out coats, waistcoats, short clothes—all of beautiful texture and heavy with lace. "Clever robber!" said Jarrat admiringly under his breath. "A neat plucking of a useless cadaver!" The secretary laughed gayly as he took out these, with a ribbon of foreign orders and a sword. "Clothes!" said he again. "Let me see which I shall wear." He was lifting the exquisite garments. "I beg monsieur will turn his head away for one moment. Comme ca!" He called to imaginary body servants: "Alphonse! My waistcoat! The flowered one—that is right. Now my coat. Vla! My sword belt, Pierre. So! The fairest lady in the world would be pleased with that. Now M. le Capitaine!" Jarrat, looking around, could scarce repress a cry. The gray coated figure was no more. In its stead a vision invested in pale rose satin, with gold chain, jeweled and smiling, stood before him. The secretary raised the sword and gave Jarrat the fencer's salute. "Louis Armand is gone away, monsieur," he said, lifting eloquent shoulders. "Henceforth behold in me M. le Marquis de la Trourier, noble of France, messenger of Louis XVI." CHAPTER VI. On a hazy afternoon following Jarrat's stroke of diplomacy a Berlin chaise, in lieu of the ruined chariot, bearing Mrs. Tillotson and Mistress Anne on a visit to Berkeley, drew through Ashby's Gap, along slopes spotted with clumps of iliac and goldenrod. Francis Byrd rode beside the window, for he was to join Lord Dunnore at Winchester, whither the governor. in a burly fit of rage at his recalcitrant burgesses, had betaken himself to await the gathering of troops from the northern counties for the expedition against the restless Shawanee Indians on the Scioto river. They had met but few travelers of quality so far to the westward—for the most part wandering petchapen or perhaps a Palatina trader coming from Pennsylvania. These latter drove teams of six or eight horses wearing jingling bells, and their huge Conestoga wagons were loaded with plow irons and with salt, lead and gunpowder for the lower settlers. At the notched summit Byrd rose in his stirrups. "The Shennando, Anne" he cried. Below, where the unbroke sunshine spun its web, lay a gold valley clasped in hills. The near mountain walls stood all matted with burnished leaves of wild ivy and bloom of chamedaphne, its white cup shapes stained with purplish red. In the wooded bottom the river shivered with the tumbling foam of steep torrents and went slipping soapily over ledges and between wild acres of mottled sycamore, of drooped willow and of birch. The sun as they rode became dull saffron gold between the overlapped wedges of crimsoning hills. "Poor dear!" sighed Anne as an extra heavy jolt brought lamentation from her nerve racked companion. "We shall soon be there, Aunt Mildred. Winchester is just beyond the next forest." "It's been just beyond the next forest for three hours!" moaned the lady. "The colonel really must have new springs put to the chaise. This road is barbarous!" "There is Winchester!" Anne exclaimed joyfully. "I see the flag on the fort." This, a great square fortification with four bastions, the stockade built by Colonel Washington before the reduction of Duquesne, was gone much to ruin. It sat on the town's edge, with generous barracks rearing above the walls and soldiery grouped before the entrance. Here Byrd left them to report his arrival, and the two ladies rode to the town ordinary. They descended to find the long parlor thickly set with guests and passed quickly through the hall to the inn yard, waiting disposition of their luggage. "The place is overfull, it seems," Mrs. Tillotson said to the landlord. "Oons!" he answered. "There are a-plenty of beds, though all my tankards are kept well in use. 'Tis the soldiery at the fort draws them, a good thing for the King's Arus. The Indians may go a-scalping as oft as they will." "They are all king's men within?" asked Anne. "Aye, a proof of my loyalty. These be times," he added, scratching his grizzle head as he went in, "when 'tis hard to choose betwixt old and new things, with the Whigs so hot. As for me, though, methinks the old will outlast my time." "Aunt Mildred," called Anne delightedly, "look! There is my Lord Fairfax's chariot!" It stood under the wide shed, huge and ungainly. Anne went to it and patted the dark leather and laid her young cheek against the purple cushions. "He is here, then!" she cried. "I wonder if we could see him." Drawing Mrs. Tillotson after her, she passed to the wide low window and peered within. It was flung half open, and through it came glassy tinkles and a babble of talk. Colonial costumes were sown through the long room, and here and there were royal uniforms flagrantly crimson. Cocked hats and greatcoats lay about on the chairs, and riding whips were scattered on the tables. Opposite them, against the farther wall, Burnaby Rolph of Westham sat squat in his oak chair where the candles glinted on his gold lace, stirring with his dress sword a punch of Jamaica rum in a great bowl. Beside him, his arm flung carelessly back, lounged Captain Foy. Now the spirit was in his mottled, sensual face, and it seemed to cloak a devil in scarlet. The girl shrank back instinctively and hold her aunt's arm more closely. Then she turned her eyes over the assembly. "Mistress Anne!" exclaimed a voice behind her. "Oh," she cried, turning, "Mr. Henry! How good it is to see you!" He took her hand and bowed to Mrs. Tillotson. "It seems as if we had not seen you for a year," Anne continued, looking up into his sallow face and then, with a hint of approval, at his dark wig and suit of minister's gray. He saw her glance and smiled a little quizzically. "I am being fast spoiled," he said. "I have a plenty of coats good enough for me, yet I once go to the congress I must get a new one to please the eye of other folk. I am on my way back from Philadelphia now." "Are you lodged at the King's Arms?" asked the elder lady. "At the Three Rams, Methinks the royal tang hereabout is a bit strong for TALK IS CHEAP.

Snovess in this field of fundamentals has been 0 pro: nounced that the steps now being talen toward utilizing industrialism in a fac: tor in the broader training is in accord with the inexorable logic of events. We are discovering with an increas- ing clearness that the cultivation of the mind to think, the train- ing of the hand to do, and the up- lifting of the soul to high ideale are natural and inseparable allies. To the three forces we must look for the ulti- mate solution of all human problems, Between them there can be no legiti- mate antagonism. All prosper as the individual elements of the magio triam virate prosper. With the permanence of industrial education firmly establish- ed as an essential feature of the Negro’s roral life our keen-sighted leaders are studying the condition of the olty Ne- gro and the opportunities of the college Negro with a view of bringing to their aid in the most effective way tne vita- lizing power of industrial training—to reform the evils of poverty on tke one hand and to unify the!prepared workers in manaal and mental fields on the other.

Three other gentle. men have subscribed $1,000 each and the colored teachers nd citizens at large have pledged nearly $1,000 more, leaving something over $4,000 yet to be raised by the people. The school board 1s deeply empreesed with this show of earnestness in a cause so plainly bene- fical and there is little doubt oat that ‘the $10,000 will be forthcoming when the general public shall have done its Part.

The labor unions may not take kindly to this proposed development of Negroes for the trades and skilled service but thelr narrow selfishness should not be allowed to stand in the way of a policy of undoubt- a helpfulness to the whole people.
