THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, APRIL, 29, 1905 AFTER FORTY-FIVE YEARS EX-SLAVE FINDS FAMILY WHO HE THOUGHT WERE DEAD ECHOS OF ANTI-BELLUM DAYS Born in all the Horrors of Slavery and Subject to Inhuman Treatment a Negro Escapes From His Master Forty-five Years Ago. Vincennes, Ind., Special.—After more than forty-three years, during which time he mourned his wife and family as dead, Israel Brown, one of Vincennes' oldest colored citizens has again heard from them. Mr. Brown is active at the age of 69 years, and around his life cluster many interesting facts. Born into all the horrors of slavery and subject to all the inhuman treatment which accompanied it, his early life was one of a deplorable nature. Tiring of the bonds of slavery while young he escaped from his master's plantation under cover of the night and reached Nashville, Tenn. He came to Vincennes in 1865. Upon arriving in this city he began a correspondence with his wife and family, whom he had left when he ran away. Not receiving any reply the belief that his loved ones had passed away grew. Upon this supposition he took another wife, whose death occurred eighteen years ago. Since that time he has lived in greater gloom than ever and it was not until this week that he received any message from the wife that he left over forty five years ago. A letter came from American, Ga., where she now lives. He will leave the first of next month to spend the remainder of his days with her. DETROIT.

WOMAN'S WORLD Instructive and Interesting Items of News Gleaned from Philosophers' Puns and Press Comments Pertaining to Women. WHERE THE FAULT LIES. At the meeting of the National Council of Women at Washington, D. C., last week, the crazy-to-get-rich father and the crazy-to-get-into society mother were held responsible for whatever of race suicide sentiment there is in this country. One delegate said, "The women of the middle classes, and the women of the submerged half, as we call it, do not practice race suicide. It is to his own social class President Roosevelt should direct his advice on race suicide. It is the pace set by our society women, particularly in official life, a subject of profound thought." The Rev. Anna Howard Shaw said, part, on the question of parenthood, 'It is said that women should rear more children, but I say that you must first make your country fit to rear children in. We need to make this world safe for children. To do so we must give them social heredity, so that they will be born in safe conditions and protected until grown. This cannot be done until women have rights in the State to protect them. We must have city mothers as well as city fathers. We desire the suffrage as a means to the end.' —:0— Mrs. H. P. Anderson, wife of the pastor of St. James A. M E church of Neward, N. J., has organized classes in physical culture among the girls of that church and Sunday school. She has been very successful, having been fitted for this work during a four-years' course at Wilberforce University. The membership of the classes is limited to girls between the ages of five and fifteen years. The Collins, Anderson, Chau tauquan and Delsarte systems are each followed in turn as they best serve the purposes of her classes. —:0:— The women of Orenburg, a town in southeastern Russia, have presented the Czarina with a shawl. It was sent her in a wooden box with silver hooks and hinges, the outside has designs, spears, turbans, whips, etc., on a ground of blue enamel, that being the color of the cossack uniform. The shawl is about ten yards square, but it is so exquisitely fine that it can be passed through a ring, and when folded makes a small bundle of only a few inches. The Czarina values it very highly. —:0:— When a girl, who has been a belle, rides along with her husband, she thinks to herself, when she meets her former lovers in turn, "I wonder what he did with those letters I wrote him?"—Atch ison Globe. :0:— Mexican etiquette puts on the new comers the responsibility for making all the social advances. :0:— A cravanette rain coat is very essen- tial to every woman's wardrobe. :0:— Do not wear a taffeta petticoat with a taffeta dress.

"THE JIM CROW NEGRO." "THE JIM CROW NEGRO." Quite casually there has come to my notice a rather unique little booklet of twelve pages. It is well written, neatly printed and attractively bound, and bears the catchy and suggestive title "The Jim Crow Negro." The author, J. W. Cromwell does not claim to have discovered anything new about us, but modestly says he intends to indulge in a description and give a verdict of this class of Negroes. It is for this and other reasons that the little contribution deserves both notice and comment. I was going to add that it is deserving of some praise because it blasts and vivisects the kind of individual to which its title refers with such sang froid and brilliant fluency as to be both pleasing and plausible. I am not prepared to contradict the broad statements of Mr. Cromwell as they are confined mostly to the impressions of a man of the crowd and the little thoughts that crystalize in the brain of an intelligent reader. He passes the various classes of the Jim Crow Negro, the servant class, the low and wily politician, the suave man of the streets, the enticing and popular preacher, the rythmic and polished lackey, and even has some parting pungent remarks for the general abiding place of these several types. This is all there is in this little booklet, which beyond a certain clearness of expression and velling of humor. lays no claim to being either uncommon in its opinion or extraordinary in its verdicts But seriously, there is a great deal of suggested thought in Mr. Cronwell's booklet and it voices the fact that there is a great deal of solid concern among us in respect to that class of Negroes which is best described Jim Crow, the man of blatant voice and screening attire, the fellow with a veneer of education and a sham cover of culture. He exhibits a personality possessed of a kaleidoscopic character, and can constantly and effectively adopt himself to the mode and mind of his white master. Sometimes he turns up unexpectedly and adroitly claiming circumstances assumes important roles in political affair; but more frequently he is conspicuous because of his necessary presence. He is both the ornamental and the useful, the buffoon and the servant, in the social existence of the American whites, in fact he is the social hatreok for his white boss, a sort of animated dummy, a phonographic mimic and an unconscious but competent fool. Reading Mr. Cromwell's clear descriptions and fine delineations I could not presume to venture in his field or even to walk about his premises. I am content to sit on his fence and look over. As I observed the various persons his lucid diction and vivid pen drawings brought before me, I noted he had forgotten to have the Jim Crow editor and teacher pass in review. These last two are potent influences in Negro social life and assist materially in contributing to his economic and social status. The Negro editor with his liberal supply of ink and poetic words, and the Negro teacher with an ingratiating sweetness of voice and action cast a peculiar spell over both the young mind and the mature reader. If these turn Jim Crow, we may expect a demolition and a clashing. The real Jim Crow teacher has such an abiding excuse for the paucity of furnishings made by the white boards for colored pupils, and the Jim Crow editor an assuaging pen for all the political chicanery of his white ward healer. They are both too prevalent; and I am somewhat disappointed because Mr Cromwell did not recognize their strong claims to a position in his category. The increased number of industrial schools and colleges which seem to be gaining notice in this country now followed by Jim Crow teachers and the perennial blossoming of journals head ed by a Jim Crow editor of sweetness of voice and doubtful prominence in his locality are a marked and certain evidence of the disease of Jim Crowism. These schools and these papers serve their little purpose, a purpose too often personal and suspicious. This purpose they serve and pass to oblivion, leaving their promoters still masters of an inventive brain, a slick tongue and a frayed pocket. But dismissing this as not at all important, since in reality the Jim Crow Negro constitutes less than one per cent of the total Negro population in this country, I must pass again to this attractive little booklet which I find has an increasing fondness for curt descriptions. I am persuaded to quote just this little paragraph, which is a fine pen picture of the Jim Crow Negro as Mr. Cromwell sees him, and I am certain that he is not an unfrequent sight and therefore deserves to have a set tabulation and listing. "By the Jim Crow Negro," says Mr. Cromwell, "is meant primarily, the happy-go-lucky creature ready to dance a jig, act the clown, or sink his manhood in whatever form is likely to meet the smile and approval of the white man; the lineal descendant of slavery days, the good old darkey, the 'good Negro,' always sure of toleration; who with his white apron was always at hand at every social function with his. 'Yes mas'r, that's so boss,' to the seal of approbation upon the declaration of the latter that the 'nigger' has his place, that he must be a servant of servants, wait on the white man in this world and accompany him in the next kingdom in the same subordinate relation." Certainly the reader will recognize that however extravagant this little paragraph may be in the sketch lines of the character with which it deals, there is a deal of pithy truth in Mr. Cromwell's words. All through the little booklet you will encounter just such pertinent paragraphs which have just enough of the overdrawn in them to make them interesting and impressive. And not the least attractive and strikingly suggestive are the little marginal figures of the Jim Crow Negro in his absurdities of attitude and gesture and his extravagance of dress and feature. These little outs are as beautiful and as suggestive as some dialect poems, and serve to give a clearer conception of that baneful creature who ought to be suppressed. He is the white man's Negro, the fellow who always looks prosperous and who exhails all the glamor of white people's association. "Behold the Jim Crow Negro;" obain him and cast him out into utter darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." With this pertinent and ominious verdict from Mr. Cromwell's bizarre and witty little booklet, I reluctantly put it down, and only wish it might be read by every person who is intelligently anxious upon the subject. THEOPHILUS BOLDEN E TEWARD. Fort Nibbara. Nebr. OPINION OF THE PRESS Jealousy and envy tend more than any one thing to hinder the progress of many of us. It is a natural occupant of the bosom, but it can be driven out by judicious management and conservative watchfulness. Let us be more hearted and less prejudiced one towards the other.—The Pianet, Richmond, Va. --- Booker T. Washington continues to be honored by the cultured and refused of the country despite the fact that this small fry of his race are constantly criticizing him.—The Enterprise, Omaha, Neb. ... What will become of the boys and girls of our city is the important question that is puzzling the minds of the thoughtful and courageous parent each day more thoroughly convinces us that something must be done, or else the standard of the future generation will be of a very low degree indeed. The boys are becoming drunkards and are crowded into jail; the girls fail to possess refinement and are growing into womanhood unfit to be overseers of homes. Thus it follows that we are moving in a dangerous sphere, having at stake that, with which it is too precious to trifle. The line must be drawn and it depends largely upon the parents and older good citizens to correct the wrong steps that have been taken by those who are to be the men and women of the country in a short time. At church congregations and at most all public gatherings, the boy visitors are dreaded because of their behavior.—The Kentucky Reporter, Owenshoro The reformation of this class of young people certainly depends upon every member of the community and especially the mothers into whose hands they are entrusted. It behooves them to organize and study plans to prevent and remedy these conditions. Constant fault-finding does not accomplish much in the right direction. Show to a boy or girl that you are really interested in them, in a kind but firm manner, then you will gain their confidence and a way will present itself to save them. NOTICE.

SQUARE'S BLUSTER INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION Is the Foundation of Practical Race Building. Many misinformed members of our race have often condemned the industrial education as advocated by Dr. Booker T. Washington because they believed it in opposition to a higher education. We have often pointed out that an industrial education is not only beneficial to our race, but to any race. The white South, led by the Atlanta Constitution, New Orleans Picayune and other leading papers are now adopting Dr. Washington's industrial education idea. It requires no wise man to realize that in an agricultural, mining or manufacturing community an industrial education is the best system for the masses, irrespectively of nationality, and this is what Dr. Washington has always claimed ne plus ultra. But the false idea that an industrial education would only fit the race for continued servitude, and thus become a bar to higher education is simply absurd. There is no possible danger of too much industrial education while a general higher education would possibly cause too much professionalism, which would produce race enmity. The following items tends to prove that an industrial education is the real foundation and stepping stone to a successful higher calling. This is truly a practical method of race building which Dr Booker T. Washington has contributed to the 20th century: Mr. D. L. Coar, last year a special assistant in the active farming operations of the school, resigned his place at the end of the year and entered the medical department of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., returned to Tuskegee B. SQU BL "Where are you going, Jim?" "To church; why?" "Well, say, if you go inside of church the roof will fall in on you" "Why?" "You have not been to church in years." It is an old saying, when we hear that wicked, non-church going people were at church, that "it's a wonder the roof did not fall in." I attended a funeral service in a church at night, a few weeks ago. It was the funeral of S. L. Payunter, a rising young musician of Greater New York. The roof did not fall in, but—the main floor of the church gave away and killed ten and injured over a half hundred (four of whom have died since and many of whom are disfigured for life) It was not due to my being there, but to the overloading of an old shell of a church. The abridged story is told in the following clipping from a New York paper: ELEVEN DEAD IN CRASH OF A BROOKLYN CHURCH. Floor of African M. E. Edifice Collapses at Funeral Service of Musician--- Hundreds of Persons Precipitated in Heap--Fifty are Injured in Frightful Disaster and Scores Struck by Fear--The Bodies of Eight Women Recovered--Many are Suspended Above the Dead and Dying on Projecting Wreckage. Eleven persons were killed and fifty injured in the collapse of the main floor of the Fleet Street African Methodist Church, Brooklyn, during the funeral services for Sidney L. Payter, a member of the Negro lodge of Elks. THE KNOWN DEAD. Mrs. Louise Smith, thirty-eight, No. 226 Saratoga avenue. Mrs. Terese Ellis, forty, No. 33 St. Felix street. Mary Scott, twenty-three, No. 540 Baltic street. Samuel Cheesholm, twenty-five, Navy street. Mrs. Bertha Green, forty, No. 470 Hudson avenue Annie B.

Mr. Coar was a valued helper and has been re employed until next fall, when he again enters Shaw. Messrs. William J. H. Boocher. Alfred Chisholin, Benjamin Lawrences and Curry Thompson, all Tuskegee graduates, were at Shaw last year, as first year students, along with Mr. Coar, taking the medical course. Dr. Meserve, the president of Snow, has sent us a group photograph of these young men labeled "A Group of Tuskegee Graduates in the Medical Department of Shaw University." Mr. F. H. Cardoza, who graduated at Tuskegee several years ago, and was placed in charge of the Horticultural division of the Agricultural department, has been taking post graduate studies in the Agricultural department of Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., during the past two years. He is to receive a diploma from Cornell in June, and will again enter the employ of the instil ute. Mr. Cardoza will resume work August first. He has made a most creditable record at Cornell and has relied credit on himself and the school as well. He came to Tuskegee about eight years ago knowing nothing of agriculture, but became intensely interested in the instruction offered. At the same time that he received his academic diploma he also received a certificate from the agricultural department. We are all very proud of Mr. Cardoza's record. Mr. Eugene LeCompte, one of the students sent to Tuskegee by the Porto Rican government, and a graduate of our academic department, class of 1903, left for Porto Rico last Monday morning. He has gone to begin service under the Porto Rican insular government. As most of our readers know, the Porto Rican government provides for the education of a number of students at Tuskegee, with the purpose in view of having them return to their homes and teach their people along the same lines that they are being taught here. Although Mr LeCompte had not been definitely advised in just what capacity he is to be employed, it is very possible that he will be asked to take a place as one of the instructors in one of the government training schools. He has been a good student at Tuskegee, and should render valuable service to his government and to his own people. In addition to securing an academic diploma he has secured a certificate from the agricultural department. ARE'S JUSTER Anne Sullivan. twenty-seven, No. 132 Johnson street. Harriet Nelson, thirty-five, No. 109 Fleet street. Frederick M. Voorhees, twenty-six, No. 427 Hudson avenue. Mrs. Emma Nixon, thirty-eight, No 10 Lafayette avenue Indiscribable confusion followed the crash. Ffty feet of the flooring, on which nearly one thousand men, women and children were gathered, gave way without the slightest warning, preciptating the victims in a solid mass to the floor below, where they were buried in the mass of wreckage. SUSPENDED ABOVE THE DEAD. Panic ensued. Those who escaped injury began fighting to extricate themselves from the wreck, while the groans of the injured and the cries of those who had been left suspended in positions of peril, on the roars of fragments of the floor above, and others who feared for relatives and friends, rang through the neighborhood. I was 'in the push;' everybody was looking out for "No. 1" when the crash came. Sidney L. Palmer was a well-known young musician—leader of a band—who played at all the leading balls and plonics in Greater New York. He was 'one of the boys,' and old pillars of the church said, after the accident, that God did not allow his body to get inside of the church. Painter was a charter member of the Brooklyn lodge of the Elks (an order in which Negroes have just been admitted), it was their first funeral, and they wanted to advertise it. * * * I was (and still am) a candidate for the "Elks." I got there late, I could not get into the church proper, but went, with others, into the basement (or class room). I remarked to a friend that the pillars looked too small for the number of "Japs" upstairs. I had hardly got these words out of my mouth when the floor above parted and benches and people came down on us. We made a rush for the street and reached it in safety. The after scene I will never forget if I live to be three hundred --- "Oh! where is my child?' "Oh! where is my mother?" etc., could be heard all over, and many persons who, from a human point of view, deserved a better fate, was killed outright. "God moves in a mysterious way His mysteries to perform." THEY SAY That the "New South" is "as mad as a March hare" over the appointment of C. W. Anderson and Dr. Crum. That The Freeman is "it".

KNOX, Publisher. SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1905. Our railroad friends would be less senst- tive to the proposition to establish govern- ‘ment contro! if they would reflect that rail roads occupy the same position toward the people as the old highways before the com- ing of the iron horse. No one thought it out of the way that the collection of tolls should be regulated by law. The railroads, when they collect freight or passenger fare are simply gathering toll, like thelr pre- decessors. This business, so vital to the public welfare, it has been found canno! safely be entrusted to those who, as owner: of the line, are interested chiefly in making money for themselves. The power is toc great to.be left to any man or set of mer and its abuse works a great public calamity. It will be best for the railroads as well as the people that there shall be responsible control by law All realize the immense, the indispensable benefit of the railroads tc the country and none would do them In. justice or wanton injury But they canno be allowed to beoome the absolute ruler: of the people, greater than State or nation Rallroad rate regulation is indispensable tc healthy progress and is bound to come. Governor Folk, the famous reformer, who carrled Missourl by 35,000 last fall, while all the rest of his ticket was badly defeated, was invited to New York recently to make a speech. Among other notable things he said was that “the sun never sets on the Missouri mule.’ That is doubtless true, but It is also true that not many other things can ‘set’ or sit on the Missouri mule when he is in action. The governor, appreciative of a greater even than the mule, declared that “‘the output of the Mis- sourl hen is greater in value than the pro duct of all the silver mines in Colorado.” Now, if Missonri can get rid of her super- abundant boodlers and grafters under the wielding of Folk’s “big stick" the mule and the hen will do the rest by makinz her rich. America makes more beer than Germany, more caviare than Russia, is rapidly over- hauling Italy in the spagheth business, and as for Dutch cheese Holland is nowhere in ‘comparison with us. We have a practical monopoly in cotton, are far in the lead as @ producer of tobacco, make ‘em all still when it comes to corn, and ask few of them any odds as to wheat. But we must no! become too proud or puffed up. We lead the whole world, except Russia, in profes- slonal grafters, our crop of predatory trusts distances competition in greed and law de- fiance, and as a nation we have less regard for human life and less respect for law en- forcement than any people on earth. This is the only country where lynchings occu as a regular business. We are truly great nation, but far from perfect. Our southern friends, discouraged by the great slump in the price of cotton, begin to Jearn two important lessons. One is that they should manufacture more of their cot- ton at home and thus get all the benefit from the product, instead of selling the raw material abroad and buying back the fin- fshed product after paying freight both ways, besides the manufacturers profit. Another thing is the Importance of diversi- fied crops, so that when there is a shortage in one line there 1s something else to fall back upon. By raising thelr own meat and corn, instead of buying these supplies, they keep their money at home and have cheaper food for their labor, If you want to interest your boy in farm Ife, so that he won't run off to the city as soon ashe can, give him a colt, calf, pig or piece of land to attend to for himself. Don’t take the animals away from him as soon as they are ready for market, but allow the boy the proceeds. Also let him Jearn how to do his own bargaining and sell his own stock. If this is done, nine times out of ten he will not only remain on the farm, but learn to like it better than any other place. Nothing like self-interest to stimulate one’s ambition, and nothing like the prospects of bettering one’s con- dition financially to hold one to his job. “Uncle Billy” Sumpter, a Kansas color- ed farmer, looks for big crops this year and bases his expectations on the figure 5. He says large crops were raised in 'S5, "65! "78, '85, '95, and now its 1905's turn, All will hope “Uncle Billy” may prove a prophet. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. ‘The United States grand jury has got the Beef Trust on the griddle at Chicago and Is trying to fry some of the surplus fat out of the bloated combine. There is a general impression that the result will be the Scotch verdict of “guilty, but not proven,” That is, though it is conceded that they have “done dirt" and lots of it, the difficulty is in making out a specific case by court, It is not simply necessary to charge offenses, but they must be formed so as to satisfy an honest jury. ; Word comes from the South that the boll weevil is getting busy on the cotton again, from ‘which, it is supposed, we are to infer thatit has eaten those South Amer- ican ants that were imported for its exter- mination.

Besides being an emi- nent divine, pastoring one of the leading Baptist churches, he is at the head of an industrial school in his State, where he conducts a work similar to that done by Dr. Booker T. Washington. His general worthiness has long since been impressed upon his immediate community and to such an extent that no good movement js with- out his association or advice. He is schol- arly in bearing and in attainments, wear- ing the degrees of D. D., A. M. and LLD. with ease and becoming modesty; he speaks the scholar and eminence in speech, tone and gestures—the quieter signs of the nobility of men. It was owing to Dr. Parrish’s higher qualities that he was selected as one of the only two colored men that helped make up that very notable agregation of individuals now in history as the World's Fourth Suu- day-school Convention, whose meeting place was Jerusalem, from where they re- turned a year ago, the same Jerusalem to which the Christian hopes to make hegira as Musselman to Mecca or Medina, follow- ing literally in the foctsteps of the Master. In his lecture in Indianapolis, last week, before a large and appreciative audience at the Second Baptist church, he gave out much valuable information, proving that the rounding up commiitee made no mis- take in laying hands on him. Among many things he sald: The convention was planned two years in advance by some of the best men of the country. Eight hun- dred and eleven souls made up the remark able body, composed of doctors of divinity, preachers, laymen, philanthropists, million- aires and the men of the middle walks of life. All sections of North America were represented, and liberally speaking, all denominations. The convention was pre- pared to see Jerusalem, in fact the orient under the very best circumstances. Every conceivable thing was done to insure the obje.t of the trip. Well prepared lectures were always delivered on the placa in ap- proach. The trip cost Dr. Parrish eight huhdred dollars, but he considers the cost a splendid intellectual investment, holding that the trip was equivalent to four years in the best college. eee Eleven thousand miles by land, thirteen thousand miles by water, one hundred and thirty miles on horseback Was the prodig: fous accomplishment by the eight hundred and eleven souls that were set at the foot of Mt. Carmel on the Mediteranean—that middle sea, old in song and story, the habitat of the by-gone mythical gods and the real human gods that contested for kingdoms and empires—the battling sea whose bowels are filled deep with the bones of a thousand ages of ‘ chivalry" and the hulks of countless “‘caravels.’’ Dr. Parrish says that as they progressed toward the “eternal” city the throng aug mented; grew and grew not unlike that which gathered long before for the rescuing of the Holy Sepulchre. All Europe sent rep resentatives. The 611 increased to 1.526 and as if in verification of Holy Writ; that every tongue and tribe shall confess. An inspiring sight according to the doctor and which requires no great stretch of the im- agination to believe. eee Dr. Parrish spoke of the social side dur- ing the trip. The two colored delegates were accorded every privilege and cons'd- eration that were due ti common. Men chose their immediate associates, and nat- urally enough he was generally found flocking with the other colored brother. But Dr. Parrish was soon found out; he there, also was, a very Saul and before long he was the key to many a situation. He found himself quite as well informed and better than many, on the world’s history and geography. He found that his color was.a badge of distinction in most Places visited; he was generally picked out as some great church dignitary, making It possible to make greater headway in places of more or less seclusion. He feels that the consideration accorded hin was no more than a practical test of Christianity, and that, if the practice kept pace with the theory, our own country would soon change front on the race question. Dr. Parrish was found to be intelligent and useful and through these forces color was fairly for- gotten. He did not forget to point a moral at this point as well as to adorn a tale, CSS Ee eee PN eer FRAGA [adh Sere ts TRANS a ESO See nT | nS ne 3 fea KS + es eo 3 os = oa SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES: Rey, C.

On the west const much valuable coal land has been added to the company’s holdings, ‘The company in make ing like progress on all its properties aud expect to have at lenst three proprities on ¥ working basle this year. Thote best in- formed say the conditions at the mines war: rant another advance in the prices of stock. The tock at its present low price is certains ly a great bargain. We recommend this to our ‘clients asa safe, sound, conservative investment—one that will increase in ‘value and pay early and large dividends. “The National Mining Company seems to be pate ting forth extraordinary efforts and what may be termed "good Iuck” is the reward for their strenuous and practical methods. ‘Twenty dollar ‘ore was struck recently on the west wall of the vein on the “Tacoma roup near Curlew, Wash.

On approaching Ephesus Dr. Parrish was notified that he was to pray; to pray in the ruins of that vast amphitheatre, in the city where Paul was assaulted, and he of an assaulted race as it is understood; the why was plain enough—it was a good place to Pray. The assembled citizens of Ephesus and his hundreds of fellow-travelers listened while he petitioned the Maker. He dd not forget to ask for the decisions of courts 4n his own ‘country when one of ‘the black race stoodaccused. A southerner, he says, twitled him by saying he took advantage of the occasion to invoke divine nfluence against the United States’ mob, The prayer was reported by a stenographer and published and distributed at Jerusalem ‘April 1, 1904, eee In the group were 157 pastors, 179 super Intendents of Sunday-schools and 379 teachers whose religious beliefs were as varied as denominations are in America and Europe, all bent on gaining informa- tion and inspiration from the scenes which are of such moment to those engaged 1. church work. The convention was visited by the dis- tinguished Menelik, king of Abyssinia at which time Dr. Parrish acted as interpreter. Menelik claims descent from Solomon: coptic in language. In Rome Dr. Parrish was no less fortu: nate than he had been throughout the trip. Much of the usual routine in seeing the Pope was dispensed with, and an audi ence was arranged for. When it was nols. ed among the tourists that Dr. Parrish’s party was to visit his holiness his popu- larity was unbounded. The white ladies at this juncture fourld it profitable to keep in touch with him, It was here at St. Peter's that the lectur- ‘er felt also that he was appreciated. The humble churchmen from all parts though! him some bisbop or cardinal and insisted on paying him the homage due those ranks. Dr. Parrish spoke entertainingly of Con: stantinople, the Turk, the European bone of contention and who exists through the jealously of the would be aestroyers. The Turk wears the same red Fez which has become an “institution,”" a mark of respect to the ruler. The veiled face woman stil holds her own; no more or less than he: remaized individuality; the distrust of ‘wom- an, which is also felt in more or less de- grees in higher civilized sooletles and which extends down the line to the lower creationsof the world, The Harem is the limit. Dr. Parrish spoke briefly of many of the places known as the Holy Land as well as personal incidents and episodes. But was Jerusalem over which he lingered as thongh an affair of the heart, The as sembled multitude was “profoundly stirred’ when it caught sight of the promised land Doubtless, it thought of Him, the scene o His birth, suffering and death. And ir whose defense tens of thousands have marched triumphantly to death. The shepherds that watched their flocks by night, the star that hung over the humbl domicile were He saw the light were ol themes made new by the revivifying pres ence. In the locality where Shakespear was born, the traveler who knows and ap Preciates is thrilled with that sense of rev. erence due to the master intellect. Bu to visit the home of a God, one must fee to unsandal the feet even as Moses at th burning bush. The nativity of Jesus Chris becomes the theme; the scenes throug! which He passed. The cross and the site o which it was erected and its awlful an deep significance is enough to compe even the most stoteal. OLD GREEDY GUTS. (Answer to Ludiow B.

Permanent address, Empire Theatre, San Francisco, Cal, Notes of a Rabbit Foot Co.—The show opened in Jacksonville, Fla., March 27 to packed houses at both performance. Everybody went away from the show well pleased and saying the show was the best Mr. Chappelle ever organized. The splendidly arranged first part was "put on" by Arthur Howe, the star comedian, who stands without an equal in his line. Our street parade has no equal; headed by our manager, Mr. Pat Chappelle, in his automobile, then comes "Happy" Arthur Howe, the four traps containing the ladies, the walking male members of the company and the famous Rabbit Foot band with sixteen musicians. This band is the talk of each town we "play." Prof. J. C. Turner, the band master, is sparing no time in making this musical organization one of the best on the road. The show is playing to packed houses at each performance and is giving satisfaction everywhere and Mr. Chappelle is very well pleased at the show. The roster of the company: Pat Chappelle, sole owner and manager; Lewis Chappelle, general superintendent; James Chappelle, ticket agent: Prof. J. C. Turner, band master and leader of orchestra: E. N. Collins, manager; "Happy" Howe, star comedian; Clifford & Brooks, tenor vocalist; Wm Santana, singing comedian; George McDaniels, Tom brigge and Ed. Eliott, comedians; E. B. Dudley, first violin and altc; W. Lewis, cornet; Fred Goodwin, flute and plocolo; Pearl Moppin, the world's greatest hoop roller; William Johnson and G. S. DeVeny, trombones; Joseph Miller, tuba; Sam Cohen, the world's greatest of all colored spoleers; Grace Williams, the queen of all colored comediennes; Lillian Rice, the charming sonbret; Susie Beaverr, the coon song shonter; Geneva Huff, the peerless contralt; Campbello, the great marcian; Oscar Hicks, trap drum; Oasey Goodwin, leader the drum corp. We are now headed up the country. Notes from Bailey & Smith's Southern Comedy Co.—Peyton and Harris closed with the show at Ashland, Wis., and Chas. W. Bowles is now stage manager. The great Sheltons, the vandewalle artists, are making a hit nightly singing "Coax Me." The Wa ts are still with us, Mrs. Florence Watts singing "Make a Fuss Over Me," and Wm. B. White the Tennessee sunflower, is our principal comedian. Mr. James M. Watts receives two and three encores nightly with his latest bass solos. Al. Young, better known as the "Cat on the Wire," says don't forget he is getting his. He received a wardrobe from New York City amounting to $25. The misfit comedy four—White, Shelton, Watts and Bowles—send them away screaming each night, and the sister team (Tillie Shelton and Florence Watts) is one of the greatest features on the bill. Chas. W. Bowles, one of Louisville's great baryton singers, sends regards to Tom Williams, Will Able and John Page. Mrs. Maud Bowles nee Page is musical director of the company and sends regards to Louisville friends Mrs. Josie Smith, the manager, is making quite a hit featuring the book agent Mr. Henderson Smith, our advance agent, spent Sunday with us, and sends regards to J. Ross Hendricks, Tom Logan and "Pass" Arnold. While the company had eight weeks severe weather to contend with and Lent we have not missed a single date. We are now heading for northern Minnesota and Michigan. Mazeppa — Phillips Opera House— Phillips & Co., managers: Bailey and Smith Colored Comedy Co. twelve people played to a record audience for season and house. Never before has so large an audience turned out here and billing was late at that. Company gave very satisfactory performance, consisting of face, songs, dances and dialogue specialties. The Sheltons and Peytons are an excellent team Watts' solos were winners. Young's wrist act caught the crowd and the cake walk was great. and all other members of the company contributed to a generally good performance. Managers who book this company should push for business as they are O K. Personally acquainted with the Smiths enables us to recommend them as being square MISGELLANEOUS MUSINGS. Now, has the weather-vein of our discontented spirits pointed to a new veranda of rag-time elevation. Syncopation having had its importance enlarged by the magnificence of rag-time, and its value extended back to slavery, we now look forward to a new school of its higher musical development from a conservatory that has its apartments somewhere between the breezy whistles of the fresh, sweet air and the salty current of the watery sea. Be that as it may, rag-time must find a home, an abiding place for development of its worth and possibilities. The first man to astonish the world with a complete classical composition in rag-time should be a Negro composer. Its first development teaches the world, establishing a school in the studio and conservatory. Our great English composer was quite in error regarding rag-time in Europe as a classical composition. Let me set things right in that respect. Since slavery existed forty years ago, and Negro comic music has only been known as rag time for not more than twenty-five years, it is reasonably safe to understand that old European composers have never treated rag-time music. Whatever of rag-time music exists in the classical compositions of the old masters is only a short incidental connecting link of syncopated music that happened there by accident. No classical composition can be claimed to be a rag-time classic that is mixed with other movements. Rag-time can be developed into an all classical composition, but nothing of the kind has yet been publicly presented. Actors must try to look and act nice in New York City next August. * * * * The Montreal Star says the original Uncle Tom has just died. That's stale news in America. * * * * If the question arises "Where and when does the regular ghost walk?" the answer is Saturday evening in high class vaudeville—town hall varieties exempted. --- The "legitimate standard" of performing in modern N. gro comedy means "do not go to the footlights and talk to the audience." All talk must be confined to the people in the play. Now, isn't that plain? There is no objections to a short soliloquy. If any actor in comedy don't know what that word means he had best find out before the critic comes around. Critics take nothing back and people are sick and tired of ignorance. Woe to the next comedy actor we see preaching to his audience. --- What is a botch worker? Any actor who writes his own part in a comedy and then butts his nut against all the other cocoonants, completing a play, is called a botch worker. Botch workers can hardly be termed playwrights. We may term them authors with pleasure —1 hope they will thank me for that— as half breed playwri. ht does not sound quite so nice. For a new young field of Negro comedy without any school and no teachers, excepting the writer, who can only teach by the cowardly lashes of criticism, and with no resources for playwrights or playwrights with enough resources to feed themselves while they write a play, we are all doing pretty well. So the botch workers and lyric writers must all be distinguished as "young authors" Power of discretion alone leads me to this that the world may see more of the bright side of jy, sorrow, vanity and self-concept. Just to let the nation see that all the dark skin actors are enjoying good health and barring a dozen or so who are passing for white, greatly to the delight of not calling their names, we now rest easier in the easy chair of America's amalgamated stage history. I give these bunches of planted roses, still fresh in the garden, to colored actors only; to those who love me and hate me alike so they can throw bonquets at me by and by, when I die. If my ghost should return to the murderer, whether he be an acting manager or a mad actor who had shot me by accident, it would be a case of sure death; so I give warning in advance that in such a case I would surely return; for "he who killeth gets killed!"

I am sorry that my esteemed eastern contributor of stage notes to The Freeman was so worked up over the remarks I made concerning criticism upon the Smart Set Company, that he resorted in his weak manner to flay the Chicago correspondent. I am also sorry that he thinks that New York City can afford only one critic. I must say that my criticisms come from my own personal thoughts, and I never swerve from them, in order to stand in. I make my living honestly, and don't have to resort to things unbecoming a gentleman to make one. I am honest in my convictions and express them in like manner, and if my worthy friend were inclined to be on the square, his criticisms would be more highly appreciated by the professional world.

AND HAIR STRAIGHTENER After a bath or shampoo the hair can be dried in fifteen (15) minutes with the Magic Shampoo Drier. It is the only device extant, by which a woman can dry her hair quickly and at the same time thoroughly, without injury to the hair or scalp. The operation leaves the hair soft, fluffy and beautiful. By the old process it takes hours to dry the hair after washing and the risk of catching cold is ever present; by the new process, the Magic Shampoo Drier, a few minutes will suffice, and all risk of catching cold is eliminated. EVERY DRIER GUARANTEED The Magic Shampoo Drier is a steel bar six inches long, with attachments or an aluminum comb as per above cut. It is also an invaluable appliance for straightening refractory or unruly hair. The so-called hair tonic preparations for hair straightening, that flood the market, leave the hair with a greasy, pasty appearance, thereby retarding its growth, softening its follicles, collecting dust and dandruff and eventually causing baldness. The device, hereinbefore described, moderately heated, will straighten the most stubborn hair as fast as it is combed, without any of the ill effects attendant upon employing the old method. Its mode of operation is easy upon the hair, thoroughly eliminating the pincher method which in many instances pulls the hair out from the roots. The comb separates the strands leaving a beautiful and natural appearance. By this method a heavy head of hair can be made straight in 30 minutes and its use for a few moments daily, following instructions, will in a short time result in the hair being thoroughly and permanently straightened without the loss of hair caused by excessive combing. It has been examined with care and scrutiny by the chief examiner of the United States and other countries and is patented as the latest and most practical appliance of its kind on the market. It is a necessity in every home in the city, country or sea shore where there is pride in one's personal appearance. It has the endorsement of physicians. Price $1.00 Address MAGIC SHAMPOO DRIER MFG.

The conference should by all means go to Washington. The failure of the Chicago session to elect any bishops in 1904 has caused an early agitation of the ques- tion of “who {s to be who” in 1908 when not fewer than four are expected to be chosen, as several of those now on the bench are advanced in age and cannot hope to render active service more than three years longer. The available tim- ber is being gone over very carefully, to the end that only sound material will be seriously considered when the ballots are to be cast. The favorites for bishops now stand: E. W. Lampton, H T. Johnson, H. B. Parks, W. 8. Chappelle, Joshua Jones, with scattering candi- dates alldown the line, The result as to minor offices will depend wholly upon what becomes of the gentlemen jast mentioned.

It may not be known to the country ‘at large that Charles Stewart, the dean of press Correspondents, is a lensed minister of the gospel but such isa fact. He delivered & most scholarly and effec- tive sermon last Sundey evening at the Second Baptist church in New Albany, Ind., and the large and cultured audi- ence which heard him was individually and collectively delighted.
