MATTERS OF THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE TO THE RACE The Interests of the Many Rather Than Those of the Few-A Thoughtful and Independent Citizenship Needed- Best Men Should be Elected. (STAFF CORRESPONDENCE.) As a people we are slow to learn things—slow to see the inevitable and to govern our actions accordingly. When wise men find that they cannot shape conditions to suit themselves, they shape themselves to suit conditions—at least until they grow stronger in physical and mental resources. Whether an element of us in New England like it or not, there is a mint of truth in the argument of the Hon. Curtis Guild, Jr., Lieut.-Governor of Massachusetts, that internal dissention among the Negroes themselves is tending to confuse many of the best-intentioned white friends of the Negro in the North, who are apt to withhold their sympathy, influence and their dollars until the leaders of the race settle upon a policy which will give a reasonable degree of satisfaction to the main body of their people. It is the habit of the average white man to expect of us that which he cannot do himself, in respect to agreeing upon persons and policies, but that does not alter the case as it concerns us. It is a stubborn fact that must be reckoned with, and we shall harvest results in proportion as we meet the issue squarely, and find a common platform upon which we can present a solid front to the enemy, and carry our friends in an intelligent way, toward a definite goal. The only way in which a people can get their friends to help them effectively, is to make it easy for those friends by showing them very clearly what kind of help is wanted. We have two or three "movement" looking to the advancement of the manhood rights of the Negro. It is evident from recent declarations that these movements are at loggerheads upon various questions, all the way from the question of reduction of southern representation to the matter of individual leadership. If the rabid utterances of the opposition press are to be credited, the prospect of coalition in the interest of the whole people, is very gloomy indeed. Because of these disagreements, the well-matured plans of the "unionists," may be defeated, and the support of great and good friends of the Curtis Guild type may be permanently alienated. To be explicit, the counter-position of the New Sultan League, standing for reduction, as against the firm insistence of the National Afro-American Council upon a rigid enforcement of the 15th amendment, may result in the postponement of the entire question of human rights by the agencies which hold the desired relief within the hollow of their hand. It is not likely that the President of the United States will touch the matter as long as there are sharp divisions among us, and it is very certain that Congress, always indifferent on the subject, will keep its hands off as long as it can find an excuse for so doing. The Supreme Court will furnish no refuge for a people who come into its august presence half-hearted and lacking in self-confidence. White philanthropists, met on the one hand by a section claiming to be the Negro race, and on the other hand by another section who deny that any but themselves are the bona fide race, will retire from the discordant scene in dismay. That this is no time for crimination and recrimination is apparent to every Negro with a scintilla of loyalty to his kind. A continued fight among ourselves spells failure. The temporary triumph of a faction would be far from satisfactory to the real friends of our down-trodden masses. A refusal to sacrifice selfish ambitions and to submerge personal antipathies for the general good would prove grievous disappointment to millions of our well-wish rs. Characterize it as unjust if you will, when white men of the standing of Curtis Guild tell us frankly that the wealth and intelligence of the State of Massachusetts will not move until they know which way the Negro wants to move, he voices the sentiments of the whites thru ugout the northern country, in every political convention, when we bring forward a host of candidates for one office, we are advised by the managers to "get together." When we appear for appointive positions in multitudes, we are told the same thing. Now, when we come for the amelioration of our condition as citizens, we are met with a reiteration of the counsel in language so plain as to admit of no dual construction. We must unite or "lose out." If we cannot settle our own differences and agree upon a definite policy which shall be recognized as the attitude of the majority of the Negro people, we shall be compelled to remain in the wilderness. To stand off, calling each other hard names, will solve no problems. Abur, for past mistakes "gets us nothing" today. If it is to be assumed that the several movements are led by men of honesty, courage and devotion to the highest interests of the race, there is no reason why they may not dismiss all non-essentials, refrain from charges and counter-charges, and discover a basis upon which they may act as a unit in the settlement of the race's attitude upon the leading issues as reduction of representation, method of restoring the franchise, repeal of jim crow laws and the diffusion of liberal education among the masses. We add nothing to our prospects for success by denouncing men like Curtis Guild for telling us the plain truth. We should listen to candid counsel and be wise. The municipal elections are coming on. In the cities of the North the Negro will be a factor. His vote is sufficiently large to command respect at the hands of the parties struggling for the mastery, and he has reached a point in intelligence, ownership of property and public spirit that enable him to take a positive stand upon the issues involved in the various contests. The time has passed when the Negro of real influence can be bribed, cajoled or intimidated by party bosses. The lash of intolerant criticism, because of manly indepence, has no terrors for the better class of voters. In the cities of the North, the Negro does not purpose to be eliminated from p litics. The practical and resultant efforts of Postles at Wilmington, Delaware, the nomination of Messrs. Bowles, Merritt and Smith at Cleveland, the activity of our men at Chicago, St. Paul, Philadelphia, St. Louis and New York, indicate that we arevery much alive, and not counting upon surrendering any vestige of our political rights. At Indianapolis, Louisville and smaller places in the Middle West, we are compelling a degree of recognition that is highly encouraging. The "pot-house politician" is not to be admired by the self, respecting citizens, but a proper interest in the government of the community in which he lives, is the bounded duty of every right-minded colored man. Healthful activity on the part of lovers of law and order and official deency is helpful, and an insistence upon the part of every element of the tax-paying population, is natural and expedient. In this connection, I want to quote a paragraph from a recent sermon delivered in New York City by that eminent theologian and minister of the people, Rev. T. Wellington Henderson. It is not so much "politics" as it is abstract justice with a concrete application. It is especially pertinent at this time, and its high-pitched philosophy and unanswerable logic should appeal strongly to every Negro voter where a municipal contest is on this fall. Hear Dr. Henderson plead the Negro's cause: "In the very near future," says he, "the people of New York will be called upon to elect a mayor and other city officers, and the men elected are to administer the affairs of the city for the next four years. Now I want to ask jon, bretheren, do you fully realize that you, according to your numbers, are just as much interested in the government of the city as any other class of citizens? This is your home—your families are here, your boys and girls are being reared here, and you ought to take part in all movements that look towards making this city cleaner and purer in all its departments. You ought not to be satisfied with being mere voters, either. In the past we have done our full share of voting, but have we had any share in administering affairs after the election? If not, why not? "In Chicago," continued the valiant shepherd, "scores of men of our race not only take part in the election, but hold positions of trust and honor after the election. There are nearly 300 policemen. In Philadelphia, nearly 200, but I am told that we have only a few in Greater New York. Why is it that only Irishmen and other foreigners are allowed to police the streets of New York? Is it because our men are too cowardly to help keep the peace in this city? Or is it because they cannot be appointed? I know it is not because we NEGRO'S PROGRESSIVE AMBITION. Somewhat of a difficult task in holding down the lid. are all cowards. For in every war this nation has ever had, no braver men could be found in the armies than colored men. It is because we have helped to elect men to office and let them alone to give all the offices to other nationalities. We must do as others do—demand our share of the offices, and when we begin to demand recognition we shall get it. In the conferences held in the last two weeks to arrange for the coming electio, not one colored man has been invited to join; but as soon as the men are selected and begin to solicit votes in order to be elected, no class of vo ers will be of more importance. We have got to get manhood enough to tell the parties that ask our votes that simply giving a few leaders a dollar or two will not satisfy us. That we must be assured in the giving out of offices from policeman up, we must have our share. The Colored Men's Municipal Association, now being formed, is determined to know the candidates for whom we are asked to vote and if he cannot or will not talk to us as he talks to other classes of voters, he cannot have our votes. That is all there is to it. It is going to find out the facts concerning every man who asks our votes, and if he is not the right man it is going to be made known. I call upon every colored man in the city of New York to let it be made known that he considers himself a man and the equal of any other man and that he demands for himself and his race every consideration that is accorded to other men. Nobody is consulting us now about who the candidates shall be, but they will have to consult us about who shall get our help to get the office after they are nominated. Let us make this known far and wide." A Methodist minister who possesses sufficient personal magnetism to go into a city of the world worldly like New York and win over a thousand souls for Christ within two years, would be an incalculable power for good on the Episcopal Bench as a leader of men and a promoter of the lawyer life of the church. Dr. T. Wellington Henderson has done this and more, and I am of the opinion that his denomination will be very unmindful of its best interests if they fail to elect him a Bishop at the general conference in 1908. Dr. Henderson, besides being a theologian of rare learning, is a disciplinarian who controls without leaving any marks of the check-rein. As pastor of Bethel A, M, E, Church, the best charge in the New York conference, he is doing the work of his life. He is a real tribune of the people. DANVILLE ILL.

THOMAS DIXON ANSWERED REV. D. A. GRAHAM PUNCTURES DIXON'S RELIGION QUESTION ONE OF RELIGION Copy of Letter Which Graham Sends to Preacher—Hangs Dixon with His Own Rope—Dixon's Version of the Golden Rule Contains word "white." Dear Sir.—Ever since reading your article on "Booker T. Washington an i the Negro, I have been trying to find time to write you on this all-important subject. In introducing your subject you say many good things for Washington and his ideals, and one is led to believe that he is going to read a fair and just treaties on the Negro, especially when he remembers that the author is a preacher of the gospel of Jesus, the Christ. But when we have read further, we are brought again to realize what a small extent Christianity has christianized the white people of the South, when matters affecting the relations of the races are under consideration. I speak of southern people in general; there are many noble exceptions. You also bring to light another fact: i.e. that while the southern white people profess to be thoroughly acquainted with the Negro, and therefore best prepared to deal with this question, they are the least acquainted with him and are the poorest judges that can be found. You know the Negro only as a servant, and as a criminal. You never study him as a man. The vast bulk who do not serve you, nor figure in your criminal courts, you know absolutely nothing about. Your horror of that southern scarecrow "social equality," forbids your entering the home, school, or church of the Negro, except on rare occasions. As you admit "the educated Negro is one thing the southern white world than that; and what of it? Do you mean to say that to be a "white man" is the acme to which all effectual training must lead? Where in the gospel of the Christ you profess to represent did you find any such doctrine as this? Or, sir can you dare to infer, that to be a white man is to be a gentleman? No, you meant simply to imply that no amount of education can make a Negro, a gentleman. This is a dogma that the leaders of the South teach now, just as they taught fifty years ago that the Negro could not live as a freeman, while it is an honest opinion, it is obtained in a dishonest way; i.e. refusing to study the Negro gentlemen and ladies, and judging us all by the servants and criminals, among us. When there are thousands of Negro homes, as orderly, as well kept and as cultured as any white's home of equal financial ability, it is too late to try to teach the world that the Negro cannot be made a gentleman. Now, Reverend Sir, I have been in every quarter of the South and my last sojourn of five years in Louisiana ended less than a year ago; so that I do not speak from theory but from experience. Knowing things as I do in the South, I am at a loss to see how any man professing to represent the Christ, can take such an christian view of the race problem. In fact do you not see that instead of this being a race problem, that it is a religious problem? I heard the Rev. Dr. Bingham, of Georgia, say to a body of missionary workers two years ago, that the whites of the South would never do heir duty towards the Negro until they got religion enough to accept the sermon on the mount without putting the word "white" into it. "As ye would that men should do unto you, do you even so unto them" was what the Master said. But the southern white man reads it "do ye even so unto all white men." Now you are an ardent advocate of, and apologist for, this false doctrine. Do you not see what a mockery you make of the gospel you pretend to presch? According to your doctrine Christianity is a failure, at least so far as the American white man is concerned. No amount of it can bring him to accept the surmum on the mount, "if the Negro is to be included in the term" man." You are busily working to convince the world that the black man will never be accepted as a man in America. That is to say that, while we (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4.) IN WOMAN'S WORLD BY "DOROTHY."

Nine per cent of the married women of the United States work for wages apart from the performance of their household duties. Twenty-three per cent add to the household income by taking boarders.

SCIENCE IN SELECTING PROPER FOODS People Are Hot, Uncomfortable, Unhealthy, Because They Do Not Eat the Right Food. Scientists have determined that the various food elements found in wheat are the identical elements of which the tissues and cells, the bone and brain, the blood and muscle of the human body are composed and with which they must be replenished if life and strength are to be maintained. Every nutritive element, every one of those marvelous strength and tissue-building food qualities of the best white wheat grown is found in Malta-Vita. This famous food is the whole of the wheat, thoroughly steamed and cooked in absolute purity and mixed with the finest malt extract that can be made. In these days of adulterated foods and food products such a food as is known to be pure and wholesome is indeed welcome. We have heard of many breakfast foods and cereal products—some broadly advertised as whole products, others as cure-alis for every disease known to man. No doubt they are all good and possessed of some merit, but most of them are manufactured with some foreign sweetening agent to make them palatable. Among all the breakfast and cereal foods offered the public to day, we believe we are warranted in saying that Malta-Vita is the only food that is simply and wholly pure grain product and nothing else, except a little salt. Malta-Vita as it comes to you from the factory is all of the wheat. It has b en thoroughly cleaned, steamed to gelatinize the starch, then added to it by barley malt made from selected barley—this, acting upon the starch, turns it into maltose or malt sugar, pronounced by physicians and food experts the finest, purest, most healthful sweetening agent known. Then the grain of wheat is rolled out flat into a thin wafer flake and baked in the ovens. It comes to you fresh and pure and sweet—absolutely nothing but a grain product prepared in the cleanest and most wholesome way and turned into the most delicious whole wheat food that can be found. Malta-Vita is for sale by nearly all grocers. It costs but 10 cents a package for the same big package for which you used to pay fifteen cents.

We would like to see a colored candidate from each ward. Some one should make the race. The county election will be held some time next summer.

Bishop Arnett has been advised by his physicians to join the 'Don't Worry Club." The fall edition of the Howard University embroglio is due from the Washington press. Witty W. T. Menard rather euphoniously dubs the Sage of Maple Hall 'Tea Thomas Fortune." A big man's affairs are made better or worse by the way his private secretary looks at things. The first and great commandment is "Don't knock," and the second is like unto it—"Don't butt in." The world is looking for men who can build up something. There are too many now engaged in tearing down. It has been many a day since John Wanamaker found it possible to get so much first-class advertising free of charge. Any fool can talk—and oftimes the bigger the fool the more voluble the talk. It is the wise man who knows how and when to be silent Since the rumored retirement of Minister Powell the numerous race leaders of the great State of New Jersey have begun to sit up and take notice. A southern editor sends us the following eplo: 'On Saturday there's trouble brewing.

No one believes they regarded the situation as at all en "Tice"ing.

The same citizens of the State of New York are now convinced that the Moore-Wibecan et al race for the old shoes of Charlie Anderson was purely a "local affair." The Wanamaker-Washington episode is a closed incident. There was not enough vitality in the foolish orles of the repressionists to keep the fuss alive thirty days. The Negro may be somewhat "shy" on morals, according to Tom Dixon, but he has not yet been able to match the Taggart divorce case in sheer nastiness. Collector Charles W.

M Henderson is filling time at Williamsport, Pa., but no one would be surprised to see that brilliant and energetic divine installed within the fewest of weeks as pastor of historic Allen Temple, Cincinnati. --- The property-owning Negro is a conserver of law and order, for he has something to lose by recklessness in personal conduct, laxity in local administration, and in the tolerance of any form of crime in his community. --- It looks as if the next session of the A. M. E. General Conference is booked for New York, with Baltimore as an alternate proposition. Have you been able to figure out who will be helped or hindered by the location of the assembly? --- The song of the day, "Make a Fuss Over Me," seems to be as popular with the lime-light-loving statesman and aspiring churchmen as with the sentimental swain and the fair inamorata whose zealous courtship brought the melody into existence. ... The Rev. J. A Jones of Nashville, Tenn, has the reputation of being one of the race's most illuminating writers upon matters touching the A. M. E. church, but of late his silence is so intense that a deaf man could almost hear a pin drop in his vicinity. --- It is barely possible that the Montgomery colored band that the whites accused of playing something about "hanging Jeff Davis on a sour apple tree" was but a liberal interpretation of Julia Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic," a standard composition applicable alike to all sections of the country. Can the average listener tell the two selections apart? --- If the Afro-American Council and the Niagara Movement fail to coalesce the fault will not lie with the Council. There should be no long drawn out argument as to which should be swallowed up by the other. The Council is the older body, and has a more definite organization and a practical policy that has stood the test of time. Mahomet felt no disgrace in being called upon to go to the mountain. ```markdown ``` The prophetic editor of The Freeman sees the craze for titles growing at such a dizzy pace that only the future can tell where the madness will end. The twentieth century, which is young yet, may behold "The Very Reverend Julius Caesar Johnson, D. D., Ph. D., LL D., D. C. L, S. T. B., F. R, S"—all of which may be simmered down to "A. S.

Dr. Bailey is a fine scholar, a graduate of Harvard and completed a course in medicine at Howard University. For fifteen years he has been a successful teacher in the M Street High School, and is a consistent believer in diversified education for the Negro.

Marcus Ruben (Inc.) 390 State St., CHICAGO, ILL. A PROPOSITION. The Freeman generously offers to the contributors to the subjects and questions put forth for the improvement and advancement of the waiters' interest and well-being a FREE yearly subscription for the best replies to the subjects presented for discusson through this department. These subjects are open only to waiters, second waiters and headwaiters. The subjects will be divided into three parts: FIRST. The Hotel and the Efforts Put Forth to Attain Them. SECOND. The Waiters and Their Qualifications. THIRD. Tipping and Its Evils or Benefits. In formulating these questions we must first secure the positions, and in this we study how we shall attain our object. Since possession is nine-tenths of law, we must put forth our best efforts. After securing the position, we next turn attention to the needs or qualification of the man. This we discuss under the head of Waiters and Their Qualifications. Next we will discuss the evils and benefits accruing from the acceptance of the graturities from the public, commonly called "Tips." In this issue is set forth a few ideas to give you proper conception of the subject: How shall we put forth our effort to secure the positions opening up to us through new hotel enterprise? These are vital questions to every colored waiter throughout the country. These are questions well worth the time and attention of all, especially the headwaiters: While we anticipate many replies, we will try in our weak judgment to award the "free subscription" to the deserving. Write plainly, in a graphic but concise manner. Write only on legal or fools-cap paper and on one side of the sheet. Send all replies and other contributions to The Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind. We shall award free subscription for the best reply to each of the three subjects, but remember we are now considering the hotel and how to secure it as waiters.

There may have been a time when a politician was a patriot, but that time is not now. Indeed, there are many cases where it would be a relief to have the leading politicians just ordinary, honest men. This is true of many localities. Most cities have the ever present problem of a few politicians seeking to make themselves the hired servants of the community in which they live. Because of the salaries paid and the perquisites that go with the office they are enabled to draw to their support a large following. That all of these have no purpose to serve except "getting at the crib," is well known and generally admitted, and it is also known that they are willing to resort to any method to get there. They attack the voter at his weakest point, and the professional politician knows where it is located. In the South it is race prejudice. On this subject the politician waxes warm before the poor and ignorant whites and portrays the thousand ills that are sure to come with Negro domination. If there remains any doubt as to the solidity of the white vote he propounds that tremendous question—"Are you willing for your daughters to marry Negro men?" Then it is all off—he has played the "Joker" and is sure of a safe majority. The mass never seem to suspect that their prejudices are played upon for the benefit of others. Thus they on serving a policy of destruction rather than one of construction and degrade the ballot to the use of a brick-bat. Now, we have in the North a large army of Negro politicians, most of whom employ about the same tactics as those used in the South. They appeal to the prejudices of the "brother in black," rather than to his reason, and just in proportion as they can stir the passions and hatreds do they feel that they have succeeded. No stone is left unturned to debauch the ballot in the hands of those for whom they profess to feel the highest interest and the closest kinship. When the dirty work is finished they expect commendations from those they have wronged and rewards from the bosses they have served. In all candor, have not these two classes done more, both to create and keep alive harmful race dissensors than all other causes combined? Is not this sort of thing a positive injury to the citizen and the Nation? It is our firm belief that when we become sufficiently advanced to depose those who resort to such means to serve their personal ends we will have gone a long way toward cleansing all of the American sin—color prejudice. THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP. The President will soon make a visit to the South. We have no suspicion that he will make any of those mistakes which will cause adverse criticism such as beffell Mr. McKinley. We hope that he will look behind appearances and see things as they are. It would be an excellent opportunity for the right kind of colored men to present a frank statement of their grievances. It is well known that the politician is not one of the right kind, for the chances are very great that he would injure rather than help things. A body of such men would be far more interested in currying favor to secure an appointment than in asking his consideration of questions intended for the good of all. We shall expect to hear of some speeches that contain an amount of good advice to all parties concerned. It is almost certain that he will visit Tuskegee, and may deliver an address to the students. We hope his will all come to pass. It is a good THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. guess that he will not use any large quant ity of whitewash during this trip. A RACE STUDY. "Charities" is a weekly journal of philanthropy and social advance. It is published at 105 East Twenty second street, New York. Within the last year it has published special numbers on "The Italian in America" and "The Slav in America." Early in October it will have a special number on "The American Negro." It will contain discussions of almost every phase of this subject by such persons as Mrs. Fannle Barrier Williams of Frederick Douglass Center, Chicago; Dr. Jesse Jones of Hampton; Prof. Franz Boaz of Columbia University; Dr. DuBois of Atlanta; Principal William Bulkley of New York; R. R. Wright of Trinity Mission, Chicago; Prof. J.[N. Waring, and a score of other writers. It should be read by all who are interested in getting at the facts first hand. Nineteen separate articles will be devoted to this portrayal of the Negro as he really is. The Amanda Smith Industrial Orphan Home, located at Harvey, Ill., has issued an appeal to the colored people of Chicago for a contribution of five cents from each of the 85,000 residing in that city. The request is a modest one, and yet, if it meets with the response it deserves, will give a neat sum to be expended in a very laudable undertaking. We understand that the institution is now out of debt, which is due to the persistent efforts of Mrs. Smith, but the needs of the many children under her care makes it necessary that something be done to provide for the coming winter. A correspondent of the Topeka Plai-dealer advocates a three-million-dollar scheme to promote industries among the colored people, the money to be raised by small stock subscriptions sold throughout the country. Now, we are in favor of that sort of a scheme provided the money be invested in land in some civilized section of the country where there can be built a self-supporting community. There are some such communities already in existence, and it might be good judgment to tack onto one of them. The people of Indiana have been reading with much interest the expositions of scandals in Philadelphia, St. Louis and elsewhere, but at present we have a little matter of that kind nearer home. We all agreed that Weaver and Folk were doing a great work—but Hanly—that's different. Yet it is highly probable that all those whose reform convictions were skin deep still believe that a public office is a public trust and he who violates that trust should be ousted. Important reforms are announced for Russia. "Under certain limitations" the people are to have the right of "assembly for free discussion." The Czar is becoming generous indeed. He is now going to grant the people the right to talk What will it profit a man if he goes to church every Sunday and on election day sells his vote? It ought to be ridiculous to even think of a regular church attendant selling his vote—but it isn't. Even church members have been suspected of such things. We are too dull to understand why "The Rising Son" of Kansas City, Mo., spells its name as it does. Does "The Rising Son" mean the son of the editor? or does the editor intend to convey the meaning that he is the rising son of his father?—which? It must not be thought that the difficulty we are having about that Harrison monument is due to any lack of appreciation for the man. We shall get it located some of these days and when we do it will be appreciated. There is not one professional politician in a thousand but what believes in graft, and at present the politicians run things. Hit one grafter and you hit them all. A man who sells his vote should be disfranchised for life. This should apply as much to the one who gets $20,000 for his vote as to him who gets but $2. It must be admitted in all honesty that the address issued at the recent session of the Afro-American Council was not a strong one. HOW THE SOUTH LOOKS ABROAD. At the recent Baptist International Conference in London the English audiences showed a marked preference for some of the Negro delegates from this country. Moreover, they treated them socially as the equals of any other delegates, and invited them to their homes, ate with them and slept under the same roof with them without any feeling of risk or degradation. Now that the first emotions of delight over the success of this congress have worn away, editors of the Southern United States Baptist press are beginning to express regret that their British brethren treated the Negro so cordially and especially do they regret that they were treated as social equals. "The English have mistaken notions of the Negroes," says the Religious GOOD-BYE Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home! Thou art not my friend and I'm not thine! Long through thy weary crowds I roam; A guest ask on the ocean breeze. A river ark on the ocean brine, Long I've been tossed like the driven foam But now, pround world, I'm going home. Good-bye to Flattery's fawning face; To Grandeur with his wise grimace; To Upstart Wealth's averted eye; To Supple Office, low and high; To crowded halls, to court and street; To frozen hearts and hasting feet; To those who go and those who come Good-bye, proud world, I'm going home. I am going home to my own hearth-stone, Bosomed in you green hills alone, A secret nook in a pleasant land, Whose groves the frolic fairies planned; Where arches green, the livelong day, Echo the blackbird's roundelay, And vulgar feet have never trod A spot that is sacred to thought and God. Oh, when I am safe in my sylvan home, I tread on the pride of Greece and Rome; And when I am stretched beneath the pines, Where the evening star so holy shines, I laugh at the lore and the pride of man, At the sophist schools and the learned clan: For what are they all, in their high conceive, When man in the bush with God may meet? — Emerson. Herald of Richmond, Va., which also is quite sure that the "colored brethren" were more injured than helped by the attention they received This abiding disposition of the Christians of the South to stand loyally by the sectional shibboleth of permanent social ostracism of the Negro, however much it may conflict with the plain teachings of Jesus as to the parity of standing in God's sight of all his children, is revealed also in the comments of Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist journals there, on the recent acceptance by Mr. Booker Washington of an invitation to dine with him in a Saratoga hotel. "It was an act which will greatly tend to demoralize the Negro race," says the Southwestern Presbyterian. "Its influence will only be evil. For this reason it is to be wondered that as astute a man as Booker Washington, and one who is as devoted to the proper advancement of his own people, did not see this and have the wisdom to forego the temporary honor, so called, implied in being seated publicly at dinner with the ex-postmaster general," remarks the same journal. Fortunately English and Northern Christians are likely to proceed on their way recognizing manhood and human worth wherever they see it, without any respect for the provincial and racial standard which a great majority of southerners hold. The Christian gospel in its essence on its manward side is one of human brotherhood, inclusive not exclusive, testing humanity by fruits of an inward sort not of external conformation or skin color. No man with the go den rule as his working philosophy of life can contemplate for a moment his enjoying or humbly accepting social ostracism by another man solely because he belonged to a certain race; and what a man will not tolerate for himself he will not do to others. It is interesting to speculate how the editors of the Southwestern Presbyterian and Religious Herald would enjoy being ostracized, say in the year 2000, by Mongolian Christians because they belonged to a race that was inferior to the then dominant race of the world. The white man of the future is to be somewhat more humble-minded than he was in the nineteenth century. This cannot but modify the temper of the South sooner or later in its attitude toward the Afro-American. Then will the rise and successful assertion of Mongolian self-consciousness and power by Japan and China have its effect on our national life in only one of many ways. Boston Transcript, Sept. 13.

Will President Roosevelt look carefully into the very questionable referee system during his peregrinations through the Southland? --- Isn't the yellow fever really less dangerous in the long run than the "white" fever with which so many of our people are inoculated?

How could Minister Powell be so cruel as to let that resignation rumor get out, only to have it hastily withdrawn, to the infinite disgust of the host of "hopefuls?" Isn't it a pity that the Caucasian ministry, in addition to other burdens, must assume responsibility for such monstrosities as "Rev." Thomas Dixon, Jr., one J. W. Stagg and other devils. Would it be too much trouble for the Civil Service Commission to publish a list of positions to which the Negro applicants may reasonably aspire, and thus end the long-drawn-out agony?

Do not judge a woman's cooking by a cake that she sends to a church social. If a man gets as large a salary as he thinks he ought to get he is usually overpaid. When life gets so it is not worth the living you must always blame it on the liver. All things may come to him who waits, but it won't pay to hold your breath until it comes. Cleanness may be next to godliness, but it takes lots of advertising to sell soap nevertheless. To try to stop a woman from fussing is just like settling down upon a dozen lighted cannon crackers. A dog may not be a star performer, but when he travels with a blind man he is always given a leading part. About all some women do when they clean house is to change the beds from one side of the room to the other. It will not be long before those breezes will come that will cause you to regret the many pleasure trips that you went on this summer. When some men write there signature they must think that everybody knows it; that's why they write their name so you can't read it. "The bell tolls the knell of the parting day" for the straw hat and the surge suit. Go and see the three ball merchant about last season's overcoat. Wouldn't it be a pleasant thing if we all could be race leaders and ride around; do lots of talking; smoke good cigars and every day be wined and dined. There probably would be a larger number turn out Emancipation day if each party were allowed to wear a pretty uniform and given permission to ride at the head of the parade on spirited horses Did you ever, in your evening stroll, stand off and notice the difference in the outward appearance of a white restaurant and that of a colored one? Which one of the two will have the brightest light and look the most inviting? THOMAS DIXON ANSWERED. (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.) think Christianity a very good thing for some people, Americans cannot be brought to accept it practically. The brotherhood it teaches will be resisted to the last extent, even to the slaughter of the weaker race, rather than allow him equal privileges, with us. Have you ever read Dr. Blyden's "Christianity, Islam and the Negro?" Undoubtedly you have not, or you would not be guilty of adding more evidence to sustain his claim, that Mohammedonism, not Christianity, is the one religion teaching brotherhood. Mohammed did not consider the color of a man's skin, and his followers are true to the principles of the ir leader. Christ did not consider the color of a man's skin, either, but his followers, at least in America, claim to be wiser than their leader and utterly despise a man if he is black, and the more he tries to be like other men in character, the more heartily he is despised. Instead of fighting the doctrine of human equality, taught by Christ, do you not think it would be more in keeping with your supposed calling to be trying to show your southern friends the inconsistency of their professions, and the great necessity of conforming to the principles of Christianity. In all your labored argument you do not speak once of the Christ you so miserably represent. You talk only of what education will do, and what it will not do, and forget that God is still working in this world, just as he was fifty years ago. It was the false prophets of the South then that drove it on to destruction, and you are in the same work today. You see the greatest danger in teaching the Negro to "cut oats like a white man." You say "when this comes, then the real tragedy will come." This you paint as the intolerable condition, of the Negro to learn to do his work as well as the white man, and to manage his finances as well as his white neighbor. You holdly imply, that when these conditions obtain, the Negro is certain to surpass the white man, place a mortgage on his farm and soon have him going. Now sir, if the Negro is the inferior being that you have always ried to teach us he is why you do think that giving him an equal chance in labor will put him far ahead of the white man? I am at a loss to understand that argument. The statement, however, is untrue and you must have known that when you wrote it. In New Orleans, in Jacksonville, in Atlanta, and in many other places in the South Negro skilled workmen are put on perfect equality with whites. White and black contractors bid on building contracts, and work on the same in every capacity, foreman, specialists, and ordinary mechanics, with perfect impunity. You must know this to be the fact, and yet you tell us that when this comes, the white man will kill the Negro. This is an unwarranted slander of the southern white man. God knows he is bad enough, but he is not nearly so wicked as some of you leaders are trying to make him. And then to think that you, a minister of the gospel, seeing such a wicked and unchristian policy, growing, as you say, offer not a word of protest against such a thing, only what you consider a method of averting it. Can you ever again pose as a minister of the gospel of Jesus, the Christ after publishing such a wicked opinion of the southern whites without offering a word of christian protest against the crime you say they are about to commit? Or do you feel that, as it is only Negroes to be slaughtered, it will be no crime? Whites as well as blacks are asking these questions about your statements, and it will be well for you to explain yourself in the light of the gospel when you sit down to write again.

We are still showing to S. R. O. nightly. Williams & Stevens were in Calgary, Canada last week. The dailies were high in their praise of the "Richest Coon in Georgia" which is positive proof that this company is very good, for it is seldom that the papers of this town ever have anything good to say of a colored show unless it is extraordinary. The Daily Herald, among other things says: "The Richest Coon in Georgia," under the direction of F. A. Bennett, opened their engagement last evening (September 11) at Sherman's Opera House and furnished amusement for a packed house. The performance is a good one and contains many rauville features that are first-class. The music is rather catchy, decidedly up-to-date and there are some very good voices in the party. * *** Augustus Stevens in- THE FREEMAN POSTOFFICE LADIES' LIST Minet, Miss Alberta Mearin, Glenn E Foott, Mrs Emma Turner, Miss Agnes Gergia Teinte, Mrs Bard Watts, Loudonia GENTLEMEN'S LIST # ELEMENTS IN TOWN Armstrong, T L.

Of Cole & Johnson, the world known song- writers. Bob Cole, there's something in a name, Especially when it comes to you, You've surely reached the goal of fame If you're given what is due. Whenever you're given a chance to perform, You'll never walk very far But instead you will take the audience by storm, And return in a Pullman car. —CHARLES MARSHALL. dulged the audience in two characters ady and gentleman. His impersonations are splendid, and with the aid of his part- ner, Charles Williams, the one act entitled, "A Partner Wanted" was made a great hit. There are some rattling good dancers among the company. Each one of their numbers were good." Napoleon Johnson writes from Richards & Pringles' Georgia Minstrels.—We are still in the provinces of Canada and doing a tremendous business; standing room only at each performance. Since the press speaks so highly of us, and after the parade what few tickets are left, they go like hot cakes. I have often heard the remark, "If the show is as fine as the band, it will surely be worth seeing." That speaks well of Tommy Lewis who is conducting it and keeping it on equality with the best. Clarence Powell, of big mouth fame, whose motto is, "Just a little different from the rest," our star and stage manager, is very clever in keeping the show above the average. His song hit, "Never" can be heard whistled on all sides after the show. The climax is reached when he appears as Jim Johnson at the World's Fair. James Crosby, the eccentric and singing comedian is a close second to Powell as he is a success in "Down on the Brandywine," "Don't be So Mean" and "Taint Kind of Grub I Been Getting at Home." Charles Burton is very successful as interlocutor and is making a name for himself singing, "When the Fields are White with Daisies" assisted by the Von Tilzer Quartet. Robert Milliam and "Happy" Beaugard are making good singing "Kisses" and "What Makes It Snow" respectively. Robert Logan is making good with "The Bell of Life." He has been under some of the best instructors. The Von Tilzer Quartet is the singing feature of the show, composed of Charles Burton, Robert Williams, Robert Logan and myself. Regards to all. PEKIN NOTES Bert A. Larimer writes from the Pekin Theatre, Chicago, that there is much going on in the stage world there and sends us the following "republican returns": English & Conley will take out a company including Queen Dora, Misses Bailey and Grady and Rowland, the tramp juggler all from the Pekin. Tribble & Allen, who have been the leading comedians since the Pekin opened have signed with an agency, who will take out a colored company which opened up in Indiana this week. "Slim" Henderson is a new comedian that we have received, who is sure to make a reputation for the house as well as himself. The Pekin has an entire new company this week whose names will be given later. It might be mentioned that Miss Mamie Clemens has joined our forces and is rapidly forging to the front as a very good soubret. Charles Sager is still putting on new numbers and is ever meeting the approval of all. Will Smith is kept busy looking after the general interest of the Pekin's many patrons. Many professionals are in the city, including "Bobby" Kemp. WHAT THE SEASON OFFERS Again Voelckel and Nolan offer us that time honored favorite, the only genuine warbler many good ears have heard. Who is it that is not anxious to hear Madame Jones? I venture to say that the public would regret it very much were she to go from them forever. Black Patti has drawn about her this a year much better set of actors than ever before. New songs will be sung, splendid scenery shown and "splitting" humor given out. This company is ever a winner due to its "up-to-minute" managers, --- Hurtig & Seamon have put out special scenery costumes and actors for the coming successful season of "In Dahomoy" which Avery & Hart, those very clever boys, will star in again this season. Here is a production that all England has thoroughly enjoyed. So far as good minstrels are concerned you need not mention any unless you speak of Billy Kersands' great troupe. This is something that those who get the opportunity should not fall to attend. If one is looking for real fun, go and see Billy Kersands. --- Rusco & Holland always have put on the very best that could be secured for the people every season since the start. I am unable to say just what new and shining lights they have obtained this season but there is every evidence judging from the past, that no pains will be spared in making this minstrel rank among the number ones in stagedem. . . . There is much talk going the rounds about P. G. Lowery, the masterful bandmaster, taking charge of the "Nashville Students" and the management to go into the hands of Al Martin, of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" fame and Ben McFarland of the Wallace Shows. To my mind this would be generally satisfactory to the public as who is considering an offer from Ernest Hogan. Bobby Kemp and Jennie Pearl opened here Sunday night making a tremendous hit. Tom Logan has joined our forces. GOTHAM STAGE GOSSIP. GOTHAM STAGE GOSSIP. Never before in the annals of colored performances has the work of the actors been as exacting in requirements as will be seen in the plays of the present season. As the arena grows larger the critical analysis of colored performances grows greater and the work of the critic becomes more arduous and his task must therefore be meted out with keen insight and positive knowledge of the work of which he gives the public his views. The intelligent public cannot afford to take any stock whatever in the new installation of ambitious young writers who follow after my footsteps striving in vain to be critics. The greater undertaking of stage work has now become too important for people to take any stock whatever in the estimation of what any infant writer may say in his eager search for fame regardless of good education. Every article on stage matter which I have read at length from writers in The Freeman and other colored newspapers, from time to time, has been incorrect. Any one of the intelligent actors of today would tell you so. We have no young stage critic writers as yet who have experimental knowledge, and why not say so. Mark what I say and marvel not. ... Two new productions of enlarged proportions and of unquestionable merit, products of brain and talent of colored playwrights and composers, will, if nothing happens, see the light of day in October. Williams & Walker, who are under new management which would be indiscreet to announce at this time, will exploit their new musical comedy, "Abyssinia," book by Jesse A. Shipp: lyrics by Alex Rogers and music by Will Marion Cook. Hurtig & Seamon will present to the public for the first time, Mr. Ernest Hogan as a single handed star, in a new musical comedy by J. Ed. Green and Mr. Hogan, himself, with scenes constructed by William B. Hall, a white writer. Lawrence Freeman, a western composer of ability and recently a teacher at Wilberforce University, wrote the ensemble music. The ragtime numbers are by Joe Jordan of Chicago fame and Tom Lominier of New York. The name of the comedy is judiciously withheld. Bob A. Kelly has buried the spade and shovel that could dig his grave. He has made up with the critic. Eph Thomas and his trained elephants have been filling New York engagements. Mr. Thompson is a colored gentleman and was introduced to me recently at the Marshall House by Robert Cole. The King Edward story which I was to commence in Alexander's Magazine has been deferred. Mr. Alexander informs me that a stage review which I contributed for September is out in that issue. Bob Cole and Rosamond Johnson played everyone knows the ability of Lowery and Al. Martin. Mr. Martin has always been successful with his productions. There is no doubt about them making a swell trio for successful business. I hope they will soon get their heads together and give the public what it desires. --- When L. E. Gideon puts on a "Hot Time in Coontown" everybody wants to take the splendid advantage of seeing something worth seeing. Not that I have seen this play that I will say that it is good, but that Gideon is a clear statement to me that it is sure to be so, because he makes it a part of himself, or I might say wholly of himself to have things just to suit all. When you see a "Hot Time in Coontown" posted in your town with the name L. E. Gideon you may be satisfied that good performing is in your midst. It's L. E. Gideon, that's all. --- There is one other show that might be given special mention when it comes to dealing with first-class entertainers and that is the Whitney Brothers Famous Troubadours which has been "making good" for over ten seasons; Salem Whitney, who organized this great aggregation, is a decided improvement on the stage manager as well as an added success to the comic world. His brother, Homer T. Whitney, who has become the stage manager and business end of this company, is indeed a great mark of advancement in the way of bringing about successas in the stage line. No one need be alarmed for fear of being the loser when they purchase a ticket to the Famous Troubadours. The season of 1955-C6 will certainly be a remarkable one with the colored performer as each of these companies will be after 'showing up' the other in the way of making good. The theatre-goer will have the opportunity of his life to see acting in its best style. CHARLES MARSHALL. two houses in one night in New York each day last week, the new Alhambra and Ha immerstein's Victoria at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. respectively, in true European style. The two select entertainers were conveyed from one theatre to the other in an auto-mobile. --- During the past two weeks I have on more than one occasion attended the rehearsals of the two big new coming comedy productions. J. Ed. Green is conducting the Ernest Hogan Company's rehearsals. Mr. Green has been working diligently and his sudden marked improvement in more than one capacity now places him right in the lime-light of worthy distinction. Hurtig & Seamon, Mr. Hogan's J. ED GREEN. Director General of Ernest Hogan's "Funny Folk Minstrels." new managers were present. Mr. Hurtig made a short speech in which he stated that no pains would be spared to make the Hogan Company the greatest colored organization on record. He asserted that any amount of money would be spent to that effect and assured them a very long first season. Madame Marian Adams, prima donna, and quite as beautiful as any woman who will be found on the stage this season. Anna Cook Pankey, prima donna, who has taken a higher course in vocal study, Mamle Emerson, Muriel Ringold, Ida Forcen and Stella Wiley are all prominent in the cast. The Williams & Walker rehearsals under the management of Jesse A. Shipp was a sight to see. The way he masters one hundred people without effort is wonderful. Mr. Walker was away on business and Mr. Williams was late. Such chorus as this company will have has never yet been seen on the American stage. Ada Overton Walker and Hattie McIntosh have excellent parts, Lottie Williams, Hattie Hopkins and Miss Cassell are among the leading lights. One delightful feature about the coming competition between the two companies, is, that it will be a manager's war and not one with the two companies. Ernest Hogan's Memphis Students have moved to the Colonial and will continue in vaudeville on both sides the Atlantic under the management of Mr. Hogan. When he retires from the Students to star in his new comedy company his part will be taken by Bobby Kemp. Will H.

Through application of Counsellor Rufus L. Perry, Justice Garretson of the New York Supreme Court of Kings County, issued an injunction September 12, restraining Miss Abbie Mitchell, wife of Will Marion Cook, the composer, from singing in any company other than Ernest Hogan's Memphis Students. Mr. Hogan claims that Miss Mitchell who received a salary of fifty dollars per week, deliberately withdrew from the company of which she was a featured attraction to accept other outside engagements. --- Shepard N. Edmunds has established a one man song publishing company in the left hand corner of Ernest Hogan's private office on the top floor of the New York Clipper Building, Mr. Edmunds went the limit when he wrote a certain insinuating caste song which was accepted at Coney Island only. Now, if Mr. Edmunds will give himself some exercise by carrying out his manuscripts and dumping them on the same ash heap with the papers of his lawsuits that have been thrown out of court, and burn up the contents, perhaps the terror and heat of fire will guide him on toward a more brilliant future. We think it will or at least we hope so. INDIANAPOLIS PLAY HOUSES. Manager Zimmerman's offering for the week of October 2, is "The Colonial Girls."

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Hearts ERMINIE RIVES Courageous Copyright. 1982. by THE BOWEN-MERRILL COMPANY "My good Pilarne has the best of taste." On Armand's face was a strange smile. "You have cozened him beautifully. I doubt not he expects reimbursement from his king." "My king," corrected Armand softly. "Keep it up." laughed Jarrat. "Tis never forgetting makes a good play actor. Faith, it minds me of the old Virginia days. Then you posed as only a marquis. We rise in the world. Yesterday in a prison cell at Hallifax, today this little plan, release, and presto, behold Louis' secret envoy. Well, you are near to the purchase of your pardon. The time is almost here. A half hour more and you will enter the statehouse. You lack not assurance. Here is the letter you will deliver to the congress." Armand took the paper he handed him and put it in his breast. "Tis signed, with De Vergennes' name, of course," went on Jarrat, "and 'tis a clever enough forgery to trick even Poor Richard for the time being. Ald in return for territorial compensation—now if 'twere only Louis XV! 'Twould be like the old skinflint. Methinks 'twill be a wet blanket to allay this fever for a Declaration. 'Twill suffice to tide over till these patriot adplets come to their senses." Anne's mind was in a clamor, a hideous, unmeaning clamor of surprises, from which a single fact stood out with the clearness of a black silhouette etched on white paper—Armand, not escaped, but released—released—going before the congress with a lying message, a message of discouragement—going now, this very hour, and the plot was Jarrat's. It was for a single heart beat as if the sun were darkened, as if all joy were blotted from the universe. Then, peering out, she saw his eyes, and the bitter scene at Gladden Hall rose to her like a vision. She saw him dragged away, and with the vision she felt—strong, triumphant—the terrible, joyful rebellion of her own belief in him that would not doubt. "I could not have devised it better myself." Jarrat was speaking again. "There is not a soul in congress who could recognize you as the Louis Armand seized at Williamsburg. Luckily, Henry is in the Virginia convention. The devil holds cards with us." "And this," said Armand, as if to himself, "has been the devil's deal." "Aye! But 'tis time for us to start. Pliarne will be there by now." He consulted his watch. "Ten minutes to ride thither. I have horses at the door. I shall go with you as one of your suit. Luckily, I shall not be known. I must not miss the delight of recounting this interesting event in detail in Virginia. Can you guess," with a malign smile, "to whom in especial, monseigneur? A red flush leaped into Armand's cheek, and his teeth clinched convulsively. It was as if a great wave of passion lashed the man and left him tense and white. His tone, however, remained as low as ever. "You hound!" he said. "You prowling wolf of the dark, who know no truth, no trust, no faith; who, being vile, think all else vile the same! Thank God that to that one—to her—my honor was always unstained! She believe you? No! Never! I go alone to the congress! You go no farther with me!" A facial contortion drew Jarrat's lips from his teeth. He stood in a leaning posture, his knuckles flat upon the table between them, a thriving suspicion in his look. A fit of shuddering seized Anne as she saw this look change viftly to conviction—certainly in which rage and shame and hate were black. "I go no further?" he repeated. "What say you? Oh, fool, fool that I was to trust you! You have tricked me! You never intended to do it! You will not go-aye, you would go, but wherefore?" His voice had sunk to a metallic dullness, and he eyed the other, breathing hard. Now his tone leaped again: "I know! The French king had his own mind! He sent your master a message to convey, a message of comfort. Ah, your face says, 'Aye!' "Twas in the packet you gave to Mistress Tillotson at Gladen Hall! Curse that bondwoman! You have got it! Now that you are false to us, 'tis that message—that message that you would give the congress! And 'twas I brought you from the jail—I!" The last words were a sort of horrible rasping whisper, and as he spoke he came slowly around the table, his fingers clawing its edge. "But you shall not! You double traitor! You shall not go! I know you—I alone! I will prevent it!" "You shall never leave this room," said Armand. Crouched low, holding the shalloon edges, Anne saw it all, the breath fro- zen in her throat—saw both blades clang out with a single movement, saw Jarrat hurl himself forward, heard the steel meet. Mixed joy and horror held her. She understood. He had cherished his master's purpose all along, pursued by treachery, meeting cunning with cunning, constrained to deception. It was the true message of the French king that she clasped at that moment under her cloak. To carry this he had won his way from the hands of his enmies and fooled Jarrat to his purpose. And now without the packet his voice would give the message to the congress. She had brought it just in time. All this came to her at once in a succession of pictures vivid as patches of night landscape seen by violet lightning and at an instant when horror overroiled her joy. The street, the taproom, were so near. Would none come to stop them? She feared to declare herself, for a start, a tremor of the hand, might mean death to her lover. She saw the quick end, powerless to utter a cry. Armand stiffened sudden- A Anne saw both blades clang out. ly, his left hand fallen low. His blade passed like a needle in sailcloth through the other's body, and Jarrat slipped in a huddle to the floor and lay still. Anne tried to scream, but her throat only gave forth a whisper. Not till Armand had sheathed his wet sword and the door had closed upon him did she find strength to part the curtains. She looked upon the prostrate man in a terror. She must summon help and then take the packet to Armand. She realized suddenly that Jarrat was not dead; that his eyes were upon her; that he was struggling to a sitting posture. "You saw—you heard!" he gasped. "You!" "Yes," she breathed. "You brought him the packet! My God! To think I never suspected! And he has gone—gone"— He stared at her, a slow, ghastly smile coming to wreathe his lips, "Honor? Say you so? Wait!" He made an attempt to unbutton his waistcoat. "The paper in this pocket!" he grouned. "Take it and read. Quick! Quick! Nay, call no one! Men bleed not to death so soon!" She unfolded the scroll with shaking fingers and read: I, Louis Armand, released from durance in Halifax, under special instruction from his majesty's government touching the Conduit company to agree that, in the event that I do not carry out this mission, as ordered, I hold my life forfeit and pledge my honor within one month this hereafter to deliver myself to Lord Chetwynse, whose custody I now leave. She caught her breath. "Do pledge my honor to deliver myself"—"to hold my life forfeit." He had chosen to give his life to carry the true message. His life! How dear that was to her! He must not do it! Oh, if God would only help her to think! He must not do it! She heard Jarrat's breathing through it all and felt his eyes, filming, upon her. A heavy knocking came at the door, and Joseph Galloway entered, his stick in his hand. He made an exclamation as he saw and threw up his hands. "Galloway" said the wounded man, his breath rattling with a conulsion as the other bent over him. "He is false to us. Armand—he is false!

Abbott, is enjoying a season of phenomenal prosperity. It is invariably on the right side of public questions and has demonstrated that it stands for the highest interests of the whole people. Chicago needs more race papers of the Defender type. T. Thomas Fortune and R. LeRoy Stokes are doing some very attractive short-story work on the New York Age. The second imagination, popularity accredited to Indiana and presented by her Tarkington, Rileys, Majors' and Nicholson's, seems to have been transplanted from the classic shores of Fall Creek to the less romantic purulence of Cedar street. The Florida Sentinel, of which Mr. M. M. Lewey is editor, owns the largest printing plant controlled by a private company of the race in the South. Mr. Lewey is a thorough-going business man, who gets things done without bluster or a fanfare of trumpets. He is prominently mentioned in connection with the office of collector of the port of Pensacola, his home city. + Roscoe Conkling Simmons is giving evidence of remarkable taste and literary skill in handling the editorial outfit of the Colored American Magazine, besides proving inexhaustible in furnishing readable "copy" on every subject touching the development of modern civilization, regardless of racial or sectional considerations. Among the younger writers of today, Mr. Simmons is without a peer. + Louisville, Ky, offers an excellent field for a first-class secular paper. The Baptists, the Z onites, and the U. B. F.'s are well served by Dr. Steward, Miss N. H. Burroughs, W. D.

Sylvester Russell threatens to write a book bearing upon the lives and achievements of our stage folks, and sketching the evolution of the Negro in minstrelsy, comedy, the drama and opera Mr. Russell's productions are strikingly original, and he tells a story with a frankness and elaboration of detail that is quite refreshing in this day of "gush" and disregard of the salient ingredients of the consistent narrative. Mr Russell says the things one wants to know, but dislikes to ask. Rev, L. E. Christy, formerly owner of The Worl', of this city, now editor of the Sentinel and pastor of an A. M.

Mr. Christy acquitted himself to the perfect satisfaction of one of the largest and most discriminating audiences that ever gathered in a New York Church, and made many friends by the solidity and good sense of his discourse. The sprightly Zion Methodist, of Louisville, is now published under the direction of the Kentucky Conference of the A. M E Zion church, and has thus been placed upon a sound financial basis. Dr. R S Rives, perhaps the most active pastor in the city, retains the editorship, without compensation, and the treasurer is the wide-awake Rev Adam Wakefield.

A white printing office in Fort Worth, Texas, refused to run off a recent issue of The Item, because it contained an editorial to the effect that Negroes in the North had a right to accept any social courtesy from the whites that came their way, and that southern Negroes did not expect such recognition, unless it could come from a higher type of manhood than is exhibited by these self appointed directors of social caste."

Mrs. Caroline Barnum, to whom an invitation has been sent to attend a banquet recently to be given by the Hagerstown Fair Association to all the stockholders addressed an open letter to the fair directors. When it was ascertained that one of the stockholders was a Negro the advisability of sending the colored stockholder an invitation was discussed. It was finally decided to send Mrs. Barnum an invitation. In her letter to the directors she says: "In my judgment you decided very wisely in sending invitations to all the stockholders to attend the barquet on Thursday. As I am a stockholder and a citizen there wasn't anything else to do but send me one. If it was a delicate matter, for two of the directors it is not hard to understand by me. The Negro problem is not hard to solve, knowing, as I do, the coming issue. But I do not think the coming e cotton has anything to do with the fair board sending invitations to stockholders. When the directors came here and persuaded my husband, Thomas Barnum, to take stock we heard nothing of the so called Negro problem. They seemed to be Christian gentlemen. They understood themselves and their position as directors of the Hagerstown Fair. There was no discrimination on account of race or color. She said in conclusion she will not attend the barquet. She had never intended doing so, being too feeble to move around much. Stock of the Hangerstown Fair Association, the par value of which is $25, was sold at auction at $51 per share, the highest price it ever sold for. An iron pot containing $50 000 in gold coin, the newest of which is 115 years old, was found on the farm of James Rivers, near Chesterfield, S.

Bud Rogan, Tennessee's Negro giant, died this month at his home in Gallatin. He was 8 feet 9 inches tall. His hands were 12 inches in length and feet 16½ inches. He was drawn around by two goats his legs were too slender to support his body. He was 86 years old Charles S. Thomas, of Washington, D.C., has been appointed to a position in the War Department as a stenographer and typwriter. He is the youngest colored stenographer in the department at Washington. WORLD ORTS.... FOOTSLUG. proper rest. Late hours, drink and association do not add to the success of any "pug." I do not mean to say that this is the case of Gans, but I know it to be the failing of the veteran George Dixon. What he should do now is to drop the ring and spend the rest of his days in some good business. It is hoped that Blackburn will rescue the colored fighter from a long leap downward that is now hovering about him. Blackburn is a good man in every way and will make a good record if he does not let fast, life get hold of him. He has made some very good showings in the ring and if he takes care of himself he will come out on top. No fighter in the ring today has made a better showing than young Peter Jackson, and why he has not been in the prize ring for some time, is a puzzle to me. He is a good man, a scientific worker and can stand a great amount of punishment. My belief is that this man Jackson can put up about as good a fight as any "pug" in the business. In some way a postal that was sent to this office last week, has been mislayed and so we are unable to publish the name of a middleweight who is wishing to meet Jesse Clark. However if he will write us again we will give him the information he is wanting. The Flanner Guild and Herculean Athletic f ot ball squads will play a game October 2, at the Northwestern ball park.

Madison on board a Mississippi steamer. The river between Burlington and Ft. Madison flows through a picturesque and beautiful country; on either side are high blups, hills and slopes. Now, winding in and out among beautiful little islands and on shore, green fields where cattle are feeding on the hillside, gives the traveler the true idea that the Creator made all things beautiful. The city is situated on the right bank of the Mississippi river, about eighteen miles below Burlington, at the junction of the Sante Fe railroad. The plain on which the city is built runs backward from the river to the high blups, which almost completely surround the city. There are manufactures of agricultural implements, carriages, wagons, overshoes, tools, plows, nickle works and saw mills here. The Sate Fe railroad car shops are located here. It is the seat of the Iowa State penitentiary. About 15,000 is the number of inhabitants, 300 of whom are colored. There are about 600 inmates in the prison, 50 of this number being colored. It can be truthfully said that the colored citizens of Ft. Madison far excel those of other cities in the State in cleanness, morality, wealth and in educational and literary accomplishments. There are only four colored families in the city who do not own their homes, and these homes range in value from $500 to $3,000 each. The Freeman representative was the guest of Rev. J. C. Reid, L. L. B., during our stay in the city. Rev. Reid's home, a handsome two story frame structure, the equal of any building in the viability, is valued at $2,000 and is located at 1508 Third street. It was our privilege while in the city to personally interview colored citizens of the town. Rev. Geo. Chambers of 127 Dodd avenue, a superannated minister of the Baptist faith, 66 years old, more than 35 years in the ministry, has been a great worke among his race, succeeded in abolishing the separate school system in Ft. Madison. He reports for the benefit of young ministers and his race in general that his greatest work has been his success in settling church fends. Wherever strife or friction existed in his church he always made it his business to bring all the parties concerned together and by earnest prayer he has succeeded in every case. He wishes the Freeman success in its great work for the race. Wm. Stewart, upholstering, carpet laying, paper hanging and painting, twenty years in the city, is doing good business in his line. His home is located at 807 Sixth street, and is valued at $2,500 Mr. Syrus Hubbard resides on Oak street near Sixth street. His home is valued at $500. He has been a citizen of Ft Madison for forty years. Mr John Woods is located in a suburb of the city; home is valued at $1200; he owns a very fine team of horses; he makes a business of training horses for the best citizen; has a splendid reputation in his line of work and is making good money. Ambrose Jackson is a great church worker; is a deacon in the Baptist church; his home is valued at $1500. Mrs. James Tomas, a widow lady, owns a home on Fifth street near Oak valued at $2,000. J. H. Blade, janitor at the city library and Ft Madison Savings Bank, owns a nice home at 1318 Third street. He is a great race man and highly approves The Freeman's efforts. Rev R O McClelland is the proud father of three daughters and one son, all graduates of the city high school. He has been twenty five years in the ministry, and has had great success as a church builder and' organizer. He has a pastoral charge at New Boston, Iowa; owns a nice home at 1214 Third street and another in Bloomington, Ill. Is of Bapti-t faith Mr Robert H Higginsbotham's home is valued at $1 500 and is located at 232 South Spruce street. Mr. Higginsbotham is a great church worker. His wife is assistant superintendent of the Baptist Sabbath school. Fred Henry is the head baggage man at the C. B. & Q depot; has been eight years in present position; he is highly esteemed by both colored and white citizens and is a gentleman in every way; has recently purchased a nice home.

Madison for twenty-two years; he has two daughters in high school and another who graduated in the language course at the commencement last June. Miss Alpha Jackson is the church organist and choir leader at the Second Baptist church. Mrs. G. H. Jackson is the president of the Second Baptist State Missionary Society.
