NUMBER 32 THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW DR. L. G. JORDAN DISCUSSES THE POSTIEDITORIAL MUST BE FRIENDS TO OURSELVES Senator LaFollette is Making No Hits.--Souvenir Postal Card Designed by Robert A. Pelham. W. P. Owens Gives Information. (Staff Correspondence.) The readers of The Freeman will recall the remarkable editorial from the Washington Post, which we commented upon at length in our last review. The utterance in question breathed defiance to the Federal Constitution as far as it relates to Negro suffrage in the South, pronounced the 15th amendment a dead letter—dead forever by acquiescence of both republicans and democrats—declared for white supremacy, regardless of intellectual or other qualifications, confessed that the "grandfather clause was unconstitutional and a piece of partisan depravity, winding up with a challenge to the republicans of the North to take up the question and fight it out. The brochure has attracted no small degree of attention at the hands of the colored leaders of the North, especially those identified with the National Afro-American Council, and recognizing it as the inspired expression of the Bourbon South, they are more than ever impressed with the weight of the task they have cut out for themselves in moving for Negro citizenship and equality of all men before the law. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the Afro-American Council, being shown a copy of what the Post had to say, evinced no alarm because of the revolutionary sentiments expressed. "The defiant yell of the Washington Post is the first gun of the 'bluff' the South plans to work on the North," said Dr. Jordan, with a determined glint in his ever-alert eyes. "I am not at all surprised to see such antebellum talk in the Bourbon press, although I expected it to originate farther down the line—in the Atlanta-Capitulation, Memphis Appeal of New Orleans Picayune. Washington was doubtless selected as the firing-line, doubtless, to keep the matter more closely in the mind of Congress, the higher courts, and to be certain that the administration would set the full force of the challenge. The Tillmans, Baileys, Jeff Davises, Hardwicks, Morgans, Moneys, and that ilk, encouraged by the backwardness of the republicans on the 'equal accommodations' feature of the rate bill and noting their timidity on other phases of the race problem, have conceived the idea that the North will not dare to meet them on the fundamental question of Negro citizenship, and have too great a fear of hurting the feelings of the South to take a positive stand against the disfranchising constitutions of that section. They are starting this scare-cry early in the game to frighten the weak-kneed ones from any patriotic course they might otherwise take. The scheme, unfortunately, may work out as they expect with a few members of Congress who are afraid to say their souls are their own when Tillman begins to snort out his blackguard platitudes and thunder forth his Catalinic excoriation of the black man, but let it be remembered that God is not dead, and He in his own season, will raise up for us a friend where we now least expect to find one—a friend who will tower over his contemporaries as Sumner, Stevens and Wade towered over the demagogues of reconstruction times. "But, however," Dr. Jordan went on, "we must first be a friend to ourselves. We must get together the sinews of war, as the Jews, Chinese, and other oppressed peoples have done under similar distressing circumstances, when their lives, liberty and sacred rights were in jeopardy. The Negro people are weak only because we have no massive fund with which to fight our enemies on their own ground. Money will secure the ablest legal talent in the country, and $100,000 would give us a standing in any court of equity, and guarantee our cause a most respectful hearing in the metropolitan dallies everywhere. Money will make a helpful sentiment for us where we sorely need it. Money will push a bill in Congress, looking to the extension of Federal aid when the State fails to do its full duty in protecting its citizens in the enjoyment of their constitutional rights and privileges. With faith in God in our hearts, money in our treasuries, and the courage to stand up and be counted for the right, we shall win our battle yet. The Lord helps those who help themselves. "As for the vagaries of the Washington Post, the screed I have just seen simply exposes the weakness of the Bourbon contention against the legality and virility of the 15th amendment. If I may resort to the vernacular of the South's most familiar game, they have not a single 'trump' and are 'standing pat' on a 'bluff', with the hope of having the 'stake' conceded to them by their opponents without a 'straight show-down' for the goods. This big talk is purely for effect, to stiffen the backbone of the small-fry, and there is every evidence that it is given out from Washington at the dictation of the southern cabal mentioned a while ago. They repeal the organic law of the land with a wave of the hand, and usurp the judicial functions of the Supreme Court with the air of an oracle. Let us remember that the rebels talked exactly the same way just before the dawn of freedom. They said slavery would never be abolished—but it was. They solemnly declared the war to be a failure—but it wasn't. Bob Toombs boasted that he would call the roll of his slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill—he didn't. Calhoun was certain that the Negro's brain could never grasp the intricacies of the Greek language, but a Negro has written a Greek grammar for white men to use as a standard authority on the Hellenic tongue. They said Negro education was an iridiscent dream, but the race has reduced its illiteracy nearly 50 per cent. in forty years. They said we were dying out, but our population has steadily increased from the four-and-a-half millions liberated by the edict of Lincoln to ten millions now singing the praises of a Roosevelt. Jeff Davis, the pretender, said in 1864, when the Confederacy was actually on the run, replying to the overtures for yeace extended by the kind-hearted Lincoln: "The war must go on, till the last of this generation falls in his tracks, and his children seize his musket and fight his battle, unless you acknowledge outright to self-government. We are not fighting for slavery; we are fighting for independence, and that—or extermination—we will have." "As a matter of history, the rebels did not get any recognition of their independence, nor were they terminated. The thoughtful Negro is not going to take any stock in the absurd prophecies or pronunciamentoes of these folks, uttered in a spirit of sheer desperation, to bolster up the failing courage of their misguided followers. The Negroes of this country have surpassed and disappointed their enemies, INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1906. NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS ANTI-NEGRO SUPREME CITY GEATY WOOD The North Carolina Republicans Have Urged the Continuance of Disfranchisement in Their State. and will keep up the good work. We have refused to die out or be pushed to the rear, according to the program outlined by them, and we have repeatedly made their boasts and predictions as flimsy as the 'extermination' harangue Jeff Davis sent to Lincoln proved to be when the brag was squeezed out of it. The treasonable 'def' of the Washington Post is a piece of the same old rag, and will be equally as vain when the crucial test of Negro citizenship and American manhood comes squarely before the country. The black man never had so much wealth, intelligence, moral sense or commercial prestige as he has to-day, and he has no reason to 'be disheartened over the outlook, if he will but be true to himself and the ideals sought to be established by the real leaders of the race." * * * Being asked his opinion of the proposed plan of the American Federation of Labor, to carry the labor issues into politics, putting every candidate for Congress on the black list who declined to pledge himself in advance in favor of the legislation by the united labor organizations, Dr. Jordan said: "The plan outlined by Mr. Gompers is perfectly feasible, and, without knowing anything of the particular measures desired by organized labor, I must say they are going at things in the way to get results. I wish the Negro and the Federation could effect some sort of a union, and make common cause of this campaign for remedial legislation. If that is impossible, for reasons well known, I would like to see our people adopt the retaliatory tactics employed by the Federation of Labor. We want Congress to pass an amendment to the rate bill that will assist in the solution of our transportation difficulties in the South; we want steps taken to enforce the 15th amendment to the Federal Constitution; and we want protection from the discriminations practiced against the race by holders of public licenses, who are expected to serve all the people alike. The Negro has votes which candidates for Congress want, and in many instances must have, in order to be elected. We want certain measures introduced, and an honest effort made to get them enacted into laws. Why shouldn't we follow the methods pursued by the Federation, and put each candidate on record, and insist that he agree in writing to support the laws we wish to have passed, in exchange for our votes on election day? The germ idea of the suffrage is that it is the weapon of peace, to be used for the protection of the citizen and to be wielded against officers who fail to live up to the demands of those who chose them as their representatives or administrators. The Negro can in no better way prove his title to the ballot than by showing that he has the intelligence, and courage to use it for the good of the whole people, and against the grafter and demagogue, who feathers his own nest, but arrogantly refuses to obey the will of his constituents. President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and Secretary Root have pointed out the saving value of political independence, and the Negro is wise who is willing to accept the philosophy of such eminent statesmen as his guide toward good citizenship." The National Negro Business League stands for the elevation of the Negro people in business and commercial directions, but recognizes fully the necessity for work also in other directions, such work, for instance, as is being done by the Afro-American Council and numerous religious and secular organizations. During the brief period of its existence, the League has given the race a new hope and new light and added faith. It has stimulated the entire race in business directions. Largely through its influence nearly 200 local Negro business leagues have been organized, business of nearly every character, such as merchandizing, banking, real estate dealing, manufacturing, and others, have been started. Twenty-two banks PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY-SIX MONTHS, 850; ONE YEAR $1,50. are now operated by the race, eight of these in Mississippi alone. No less than fourteen of these banks have been started since the League was organized. Two theatres have also been recently built. It is a foregone conclusion that the Atlanta meeting on the 29th of this month will be the biggest and best of the series, both in the showing made and in point of attendance. No up-to-date colored business man should miss it. * * * If the democrats really want to put up a fight, as will be a fight in 1908, let them declare for tariff revision along sensible lines; equality of all men before the law; qualified suffrage in the illiterate centers, applicable alike to whites and blacks; supreme jurisdiction of the general government in remedying evils that affect the whole people; opposition to laws discriminating against any class of citizens in the enjoyment of public privileges; federal supervision of general elections; and then let them place upon this broad, comprehensive and equitable platform the following ticket: For President: William Jennings Bryan. For Vice-President: George Gray, of Delaware. Wouldn't such a platform and such a ticket be a cracker-jack? There certainly would be "something doin" in the country. Senator LaFollette is making no hits on the Indiana Chautauqua circuit, denouncing our own Senator Hemenway for alleged delinquency in failing to vote for the former's amendments to the rate bill. The citizens of Indiana have unlimited faith in the patriotism, party loyalty and sound judgment of Senator Hemenway, and if his vote was not cast for the particular measures that Senator La Follette thought essential, we prefer to follow our tried and true legislator to endorsing the wisdom of the distinguished gentleman from Wisconsin.

Madisonville, Ky., Aug. 4.—Atkinson Literary and Industrial College, situated about one mile from the public square of this city, and conducted by the A. M. E. Zion connection, comes under the calcium this summer by reason of the exceptionally good results it has wrought during the current year. Despite unusual difficulties, the enrollment has been over 100, and each of the courses have been creditably followed by ambitious and energetic young men and women of the race. The 14th annual commencement, held at the A. M. E. Zion church, was an eye-opener to the people of the vicinity, for as great as had been their confidence in the school, they were scarcely prepared to see such a magnificent showing on the part of the graduates, either in point of academic scholarship or oratorial finish. The audience which witnessed the exercises was a large one, filling the church to overflowing, many of the spectators being white people of the best type known to central and western Kentucky. The graduates were as follows: Lennie W. Collins, of Ironton, Ohio; Clifford Morton, Lucy C. Slaton, Ida McMary and Floyd I. Grace, Madisonville, and Erwin Mercedes, Coffeville, Miss. That each speaking graduate acquitted himself with great credit, is well attested by the appended comment of Glenn's Graphic, the leading Caucasian journal of Hopkins county, edited by Prof. J. J. Glenn, for several years superin- BISHOP GEORGE W. CLINTON. tendent of education for the county, and known far and wide as one of Kentucky's foremost citizens. He is a man of high character, fine attainments, and his influential paper is devoted to the interests of all the people, regardless of race, color, creed or condition. The Graphic said of the commence: "We regret that there were not twice as many white people as there were at A. M. E. Zion church Wednesday night to witness the commencement exercises of Atkinson College, the school for the higher education of the colored people. We mean every word we say, when we say, that we have never witnessed many—if any—more interesting commencements, than this. Atkinson College was established here fourteen years ago.

SHOULD NOT FIND FAULT SHOULD NOT FIND FAULT GOOD WORK BEING DONE BY THE GREAT EDUCATOR Northern Negroes are not well advised when they permit themselves to be carried away by the favor of some of their orators' denunciation of Booker T. Washington, one of the greatest and certainly the most influential member of our race. They should look at the work he is doing calmly and sensibly, and ask themselves whether he could better it by stepping aside from his noble mission and indulging in political and social battles that would be absolutely futile. At a meeting in Boston the other evening, Rev. Charles S. Morris of New York, voiced the customary complaint against Booker T. Washington, and the colored people endorsed his remarks by their applause. It was the usual attack: Mr. Washington had been "currying the favor with the whites;" under his leadership 'the Negroes had been disfranchised in the seven states, and "even during the race riots of the South the peerless leader had not seen fit to raise a hand, and now '10,000,000 Negroes are paying for his blunders." The trouble is that the Northern Negroes have expected Washington to become a semi-political Moses to lead them out of the land of social bondage; a great warrior to win their battles by some mysterious power; a statesman so overwhelming as to influence all the policies of the Southern states. They appear actually to believe that he could have prevented disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" law down there had he tried: It is an entire misconception of the man and his mission in life. Booker T. Washington is doing a remarkable work for his race. He is turning out men and women of useful accomplishments and high character. His influence is ever for a real, a practical power among Negroes; the power of thrift, industry, culture, and good citizenship. This leaven cannot fail to be working among the colored folk of the South, else were all training in vain. It is less notsy and spectacular than denouncing legislatures and inciting to hatred, but it is far, far more useful to this land; and all its people than would be the vain strivings Rev. Mr. Morris and his followers seem to desire.—Washington Times. In the Pillory. The picturesque, but most painful, punishment known as the "pillory" has long been a thing of the past in England. A man was made to stand in a frame on a platform, probably with his head and hands fastened through holes in pieces of wood that were then padlocked to keep them firm, and thus to remain at stated periods while the crowd gaped at or even peled him. The last time known that a man was pilloried was when Peter James Bossy was punished for perjury, June 22, 1830.—London Mall.

His house was on a little square, or rather court, in the center of which was a fountain with a cup where any one might quench his thirst. Don Roderigo had married a girl very much younger than himself and set her up on a pedestal as his mother had placed a crucifix on her dressing table, to worship. Signora de Sandoval while she at first found it pleasant to be thus adored, especially since adoration brought with it every comfort, soon found it tiresome. Her husband devoted but a brief time to her every day, the rest being given to affairs of state, he being one of the king's cabinet. The rest of the time the young wife spent alone, and it did not occur to the husband that the time would hang heavy on her hands or that she would crave society, especially of the opposite sex. Did she not have servants at her beck and call, the finest apparel to wear, the most savory dishes upon her table? What more could any woman need? One night when Don Roderigo was returning from the palace where he had been in conference with the king, just before entering the court in which he lived he stopped short and fastened his eyes on a scene before him. A young man stood at the fountain holding the cup in his hand and looking up at the balcony projecting from the second floor of Don Roderigo's house. Just within a window opened on to the balcony fluttered a handkerchief, while the young man was making signs with the cup. His back was toward De Sandoval, so that he could not be recognized. The husband watched this pantomime in a sort of stupper. He could not have been more thunderstruck had he seen an angel from heaven alight on the fountain and pour mud upon the waters. That the being he had worshiped could thus dishonor him filled him with agony. While he looked he saw a fan waved frantically from within the window and the man drinking at the fountain dropped the cup and walked rapidly away. Don Roderigo, awakening from his stupper, followed, but the stranger had only a short distance to go to turn a corner, and by the time Sandoval reached it the man he sought was nowhere to be seen. Don Roderigo went to his house, kissed his wife (she noticed that his lips were cold as ice), and went to bed. He did not accuse her nor ask the name of the young man who had been making signs at her window. From that time his manner toward her was changed, though no one except herself noticed it. She was allowed the same privileges, enjoyed the same comforts, but somehow she felt that she lived in the shadow of death. A few weeks after the episode that had such a marked effect upon Roderigo he was coming home late at night when he saw a man drinking at the fountain. Advicing, he knocked the cup from the stranger's hand. The man turned, hot at the insult, and seeing one worthy of his steel drew his rapier and attacked the insult. Sandoval drew and defended himself, casting from time to time an eye on his wife's window. All was dark there, and in time he called a halt in the fight, apologized for the insult, refilled the cup and offered it to the stranger. The latter, puzzled, drank and went away. After that on numerous occasions—always at the dead of night—some stranger stopping to quench his thirst at the fountain would report in the morning that the cup had been knocked from his hand and, sometimes after a fight, the insulter had apologized and proffered a full cup. The police seemed singularly apathetic about the matter, not even taking pains to watch the fountain. Thus it became the belief that the person who gave these insults was high in favor of the government. One night a man entered the square and, seeing another at the fountain, withdrew under the shadow of a flight of steps. While the man at the fountain was drinking a third figure approached and knocked the cup out of the drinker's hand. "What means this insult?" asked the man attacked. At that moment a glimmer of white appeared on the balcony of Don Roderigo's house. Roderigo saw it in an instant. "It means that I have at last found the man I have been so long looking for," said Roderigo. His rapier flashed, but before the man for whom it was intended had turned to draw his own weapon a third man shot from a shadow and stood, sword in hand, between the two. "You are mistaken, signor," he said. "I am the man you have been looking for. I was a lover of your wife's before you married her. Thrice I have passed a few words, or rather signals, with her from this fountain, but I have never been nearer. She is pure as marble. Go and continue the worship which till you found me here you bestowed upon her, for she is worthy of it." The reply to this was a lunge on the part of Don Roderigo and a shriek from the balcony. The stranger caught the blade on his own steel and replied in kind. In a few minutes Don Roderigo de Sandoval lay stretched upon the pavement. "You made an idol of your wife," said the stranger, sheathing his rapler. "I have made a widow of her." A year later Signora de Sandoval married the man who made her a widow and became one of the most attractive of all the dames of the capital. From being worshiped by one man she was worshiped by a whole city. BLANCHIE J. CARNES. TOUGH PAPER. Not an Easy Feat to Twist a Bank Bill In Two.

The farmer watched him with interest and finally asked the man back of the counter if he wasn't afraid of tearing the bill. "Here is an easy way for you to earn money,' said the cashier. 'Here is a thousand dollar bill and I will give it to you if you will twist the bill in two. You are simply to twist it and not tear it.' "The farmer seemed dumfounded at first. He seemed awd at the thought of mutilating a thousand dollar bill. Upon further assurance by the officer of the bank, he timidly took the money and started twisting it in the middle. He tugged away for some time without being able to twist the bill in two. Finally he gave up, and he was certainly a surprised farmer.

For many years it was regarded as one of the East Indian miracles that the snake charmers of the orient could encounter the cobra in an arena, allow the serpent to bite them time and again and survive the deadly poison. This dangerous feat puzzled the doctors of the British army and was never quite understood by scientists generally until within recent years, when the secret of these jugglers with fate leaked out. The East Indian snake charmer begins at an early age to make himself immune from the venom of the cobra. He takes the infant serpent and allows it to bite him. This injects into his system a very mild dose. Manufacturer of Hair Goods, Wigs,* Fempaeurs, Switches, etc., made to order.

THE FREEMAN, AN iLLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. ‘The side waiters of Atlantic City seem to haye the “trike fever.” A few weeks ago they lined up at the Marl- borough and demanded an increase from $25 to$80 same as white walters in same house were getting and the hotel management readily acoeeded to thelr demands. Now the waiters at the Ru- dolf Hotel of that city has lined =p and secured an inorease from $22 50 to $25 per month, Anannouncement in the Dining Room Recorder states that at the last conven- tion, “laws were passed authorizing the establishing of supply house to far- nich head walters and hall men with uni- forms for thelr men. The announce- ment is signed by J.M.Batler, ex-preal- dent of the association, H. B. Cerutl, W. H Evans, president of the associa- tion, B.C, Waller, and H. D, Miller. The above gentlemen may mean alright, but the slda waiters have suffered s0 severely at the hands of the grafting headwaiters who have sold uniforms at extortious prices and exacted big rake off from the gambling on%the premises until the very word uniform gives them the horrors and they immediately style the whole thing a scheme of graft.

A waitea in oneof the proment hotels of the South has written the editor ask- ing to be favored with a copy of the minutes of the recent convention of the Head and Side Waiters association. In years past the association always had minutes of the annual conventions bat this year the proceedings of the con- vention was only published in a paper edited by Secretary Miller, but have no connection with the association, and the unfortunate elde and head walter who has not pald one dollar as subscription tosaid paper may never see the min- nts of the convention. The association affairs isin the hands of the Eastern ring and those fellows never overlook 8 favorable opportunity.§§ If yon doubt whit we say ask the waiters employed in that seotion of the country. ‘To bathe or not to bathe is the ques- tion that is causing much comment among the colored of Atlantic City. ‘Heretofore colored people have been al- lowed to bathe at any point along the beach. but numerous Southerners at the hotels have made kick and threaten to Patronize some other resort if the col- ored people are not kept ont of certain Aistricte along the beach front. The hotel proprietors have become alarmed and is seeking some way to adjast mat- ters favorable to the Southern whites. Some one has suggested a change from Colored to white waiters. Atlantic City is the greatest resort in the world, and it is the colored people’ earthly heaven. If white help supplant colored in the hotels 1t will mean a grest loss to the race. Now the question is should the colored people exercised thelr rights and bath ad libitum and ald the agita- tion which may cause 10,000 people to loose their positions or should they pa- tronizs the colored bath houses only? Den't De it_ Nogro walters of Cleveland are agi- tating the organization of a unton un- der a charter from the Amerloap Walters’ union, and correspondence has been begun with the national of ficers of the organization looking to the granting of @ charter. Several years ago there was a Negro union here —Monday’s Leader. ‘There is already a walters union here in Cleveland which is affiliated with the American Waiters’ union that nombers among its members representatives from almost every clase of people on the face of the earth ex cept ours. Join it but don’t organize a “Jim Crow” union to please them, or tne same mistake will sooner or later be made here that was the case in Chicago, « year or two ago when the strike wason there and hundreds of Afro-American waiters suffered the loss forever of s0 many good places because of “Jim Orow” annex-unions—Gazette, ‘The above article appeared in the Cleveland ( 0.) Gazette and is & whole some advise. ‘The white union always “Jim Crows” its colored members in the first place, and buncos them in the second place. ‘The objsot of the white nnfons in admitting colored waiters is is to Induce them to strike so that white walters can be put in thelr places You are not up-to-date if yon don’t read the Freeman.

These ap- Parent spots, which are eighteen or twenty in number, are, in fact, the Apertures through which air is admit- ted into the system, and are generally formed in such a manner that no ex- traneous matter can by any possibility find entrance. Sometimes they are furnished with a pair of horny lips, which can be opened and closed at the will of the insect; in other cases they are densely fringed with stiff, interlacing bristles, forming a filter which allows air and air alone to pass. But the apparatus, of whatever char- acter it may be, is always so wonder fully perfect in its action that it has been found impossible to injure the body of a dead insect with so subtle a medium as spirits of wine, although the subject was first immersed in the fluid and then placed beneath the re- ceiver of an air pump. ‘The apertures in question communi- cate with two large breathing tubes, which extend through the entire length of the body. From these main tubes are given off innumerable branches, which run in all directions and con- tinually divide and subdivide, until a wonderfully intricate network is form- ed pervading every part of the strue- ture and penetrating even to the an- tennae. ‘Their Friendship Ceased. “I have just discovered that Smith- ers is a relative of mine.” “How strange!” “Yes, and I had always looked upoo him as a friend.”"—New York Press. a ie mee mas. “As an instance of the way traveling Americans get foolish over making a show of opulence and liberality,” said a New Yorker who is much abroad, “let me tell you about an old woman who made a Visit to Ireland. ‘This wo- man, getting off the boat at Queens- town, hired an outside car for a drive. The rate by the hour was 1 and 6 (85 cents) for the car and a shilling (a quarter) for the jarvey, or driver. Well, the woman got up on one side of the car, and the jarvey got up on the other, driving sideways, and they start- ed off. After a bit the woman pointed to the empty driver's seat in front and sald: “‘What is that seat in front for, young man? “Sure, ma'am,’ said the wily jarvey, ‘that’s what we call the reserve,seat, nicely cushioned and all that kind of thing, and is only engaged by the real gentry, they payin’ for the same 10 shillin’s and 2 shillin’s for the driver.’ “The woman hastily shifted to the driver's seat. “‘You should have told me that be- fore,’ she said. ‘How was I, a stran- ger, to know what was the proper thing to do over here?” “And she paid 12 shillings for the privilege of riding in the driver's seat. to the amusement of all Queenstown.” c > & EL @ } -TERREMOTO: —- By HONORE WILLSIE ; Copyright, 1900, by P.

This made doubly hard to bear the fact that Jack was developing the | gractiousness of the convalescent and that an ordinary pacific disposition was becoming so irritable that it taxed even the devotion of this most devoted sis: ter. On this particular afternoon he haul expressed an inordinate desire for | a certain brand of cigars. | “But, Jack dear,” objected Eleanor, |“the doctor says that you must not smoke.” “Who says I want to smoke?” growl- ed Jack, “I just want to look at them and sniff of them and feet them. And I want them today.” Eleanor sighed patiently. “It’s five miles to town, Jacky. And though it's 4 o'clock, it's frightfully hot, Don't you want to wait until tomorrow?" “Oh, of course, if you don’t want to do the favor for me,” replied the in- valid, walking feebly across the tent to pick up a fan, “Why, certainly I'm going, Jacky,” she cried. “The heat won't last much longer,” and she disappeared toward her own tent, leaving her brother look- ing a bit sheepish. So now Eleanor was riding slowly along the blistering trail towatd the sleepy little adobe village which boast- ed a single Yankee store, at which she thought she could get the cigars. She was a beautiful girl, slender of body and lovely of face, with the refinement of good biood through many genera- tions showing in every lineament. Her ‘dark blue eyes, shadowed by the heavy |lashes, looked’ tired, and her figure (droped a little as if in utter wearl- ness. “It's getting pretty hard,” she thought. “It’s spring up there, with the snow melting into little rivulets, and the pussy willows out, and the wind flowers coming. Only the thought of Jack's getting well keeps me from going mad.” She started a little as a cheery hal- loo greeted her, and she saw riding down the trail’ toward her a broad | shouldered, jolly chap in cowboy at- tire. THe wheeled his mustang and rode beside her. “Tavas taking a jaunt out to tell you that I have almost finished my work and must fly eastward again.” “Oh, that is too bad!” cried Eleanor. ‘The man's fine brown eyes beamed. “Tve only known you a week,” he an- swered, “but it’s been a mighty pleas- ant week.” “Jack will miss you,” said the girl, ‘The man eyed her silently. “She's wearing herself out,” he thought. “I wish I could take her away from here. Burwell’s nearly strong enough to go it alone now. Gads! She's a beauty!” Eleanor wiped the alkali dust from her face qud told him the reason for her trip to town. “Rather hard on you,” commented Hartley. Eleanor smiled, but said nothing, and they rode for some distance in si- lence, Hartley's gaze searcely ieaving for an instant the drooping profile be- side him, “1 wonder,” he thought, “if she real izes that she's never told me a word of herself, who she is or—by the Lord Harry, if she'd have me Pd marry her tomorrow even if they both came from a foundling asylum.” By this time they were riding up the street of the dirty little Mexican village, whose inhabitants were too absorbed in the sight of the Americanos to move from beneath the horses’ feet until urged to do so by Hartley in a patois that made up in vigor what it lacked in Incidity. | The Yankee store was the only frame building for miles around. It was owned by an enterprising Vermonter, who was making a small fortune in the lazy little town, where money went faster than it came, Hartley tied the horses and they en- tered the store. Just as they stepped within the door it slammed shut vio- ently behind them and the tremor of its Impact shook the entire building. ‘The storekeeper, the only other person jin the dusky room, looked up in sur- prise that quickly changed to alarm. ‘The tremor instead of ceasing In- ‘ creased. | “What's the matter?” he erled, run- ning to the front of the store. “[ don’t know,” replied Hartley. “If I were up north T'd think it was a dynamite blast, but"— Here the crockery in the window clat- tered and a roll of turkey red fell to the floor. “It's an earthquake!” cried the Ver- monter, “Come on, get out of here quick,” and he made a dash for the knob. But the door was fast and im- mediately the floor was rocking sp vio- been thrown violently to the ground, as the final shock came, and now she felt out in the darkness and encoun- tered Hartley’s quiet form. Almost hysterical with fright, she called to him and chafed his hands feverishly. Then came the voice of the store- keeper: “Hello, you two in there!” “Yes,” called Eleanor weakly. “I'm all right, but Mr. Hartley seems badly hurt.” “The whole dinged front of the store has fallen in,” called the Vermonter, “but I got out through a hole. Can you stay still till T get help?" “Yes,” answered Eleanor, and again she fell to chafing Hartley's hands. It was a long and arduous task to remove the debris without injury to the prisoners beneath. ‘The work was doubly long, owing to the fact that ‘What few natives had not fled to the desert were hovering over their ruined adobes with wails of “El terremoto! El terremoto!” so that the storekeeper did most of the work himself. Long before their rescue Hartley had recovered his senses and by combin- ing their two handkerchiefs Eleanor had bound the wound in his head that seemed to be his only injury. It was twilight when they reached the street. a quiet, southern twilight, with just the edge of a great full moon coming up over the edge of the desert. As soon as it was possible Eleanor with Hartley on guard set out for camp. She was greatly disturbed over her brother, though the natives assured her that the shock was not serious where there were no buildings. Hartley, looking like a picturesque bandit with his bandaged forehead. was in great spirits despite his aching head, He said little until they were well out on the trail, Then he rode close up to Eleanor’s pony. “Miss Burwell,” he said, “an acci- dent like this makes us friends of about ten years’ standing, doesn’t it?” “It surely does,” cried Eleanor. “Then,” he went on eagerly, “don't you think that two such old friends could safely care for each other and— and perhaps marry each other?" Eleanor did not seem so much aston- ished as the short acquaitanceship might warrant. But she blushed deeply in the moonlight, “But you don’t know me and I don't know you,” she said. “Well, I'm an architect,” he an- swered, “and I live in Chicago and”— “Not the ‘John Hartley, architect, that all the world knows!” cried Elea- nor. “['m afraid so,” he replied, a little sheepishly. Bleanor gasped. “My little name sinks into insignificance,” she said. Hartley looked at her suspiciously. “You aren't E. Burwell, the illustra- tor!” he exclaimed. “['m afraid s0,” she mocked. Hartley stopped the ponies and drew her close in his arms. “Whatever the names,” he whispered, “we belong to one another, anyhow.” A Bible Courtship. A young gentleman at chureh con- eeived a most sudden and violent pas: sion for a young lady in the next pew and felt desirous of entering into a courtship on the spot, but, the place not suiting a formal declaration, the exigency suggested the following plan: He politely handed his fair neighbor a Bible, open, with a pin stuck in the fol- lowing text, second epistle of John, verse 5: “And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new com- mandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.” She returned it with the following, second chapter of Ruth, verse 10: “Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldst take notice of me, seeing I am a stran- ger?” He returned the book, pointing to verse 12 of the third epistle of John, “Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink, but £ trust to come unto you and speak face to face.” From the above intertiew the marriage took place the following week.—Scottish American. eee ge ee An English gentleman once laid a wager with George IV. that geese would beat turkeys in a race. The king, thinking that such a wager was already as good as won, willingly made the bet, and the gentleman was left to choose time and place and dis- tance. Being well acquainted with the habits of the birds he acdordingly chose for the time the evening, just before sunset, and for the place the road out- side the city walls and a mile for the distance. The time came and each ap- peared with his flock of birds and the race began. Long ere the end came the sunset and immediately, true to their instincts, as soon as the sun had quite disappeared all the turkeys flew up into the nearest tree to roost, and no persuasion could induce them to budge an inch farther, and the geese, which had been slowly toddling on behind, quietly cackled in—the winners. Sei ae Mamas! A New England woman once had in her employ a rosy cheeked Irish maid of all work, whose blunders afforded them amusement to compensate for any trouble she might entail. One day the owner of the place stated in the girl’s hearing that he intended to have a wood house built on a piece of ground which at that time inclosed a well. “Shure, sor,” said the inquiring Mar- garet, “will you be movin’ the well to a more convenient spot whin the wood house is builded?” ‘As a smile crossed the face of her employer Margaret at once perceived she had made a mistake of some sort. “It’s a fool I am, shure.” she added hastily, bound to retrieve herself. “Of coorse whin the well was moved Ivery drop of wather would run ont of it!” ene | Gep = uggs... © WZ i oe ny y eas? if le: % ea ’ i \. loo Hi Nee D ry i | Ke | . rece nas soraskas Waiters & Cooks | Prefer Our Make i JACKETS AND LINEN because they have found them 1 satisfactory.

A Second Daniel Unto Judgment. Even if we are a trifle late in getting around to it, our hat is off to Judge Wof- ford, of Kansas City! Jurists there may have been more learned in the law than this son of the prairie, but no member of the Supreme Court of the United States has ever handed down a decision so redolent with the milk of human kindness, or for which a certificate of immortality was half so richly deserved as the deliverance of Judge Wofford, in mercifully pronouncing a sentence of mere imprisonment, instead of the death penalty, upon a forlorn Negro, who had been convicted of the murder of another Negro in a barroom altercation. Here is what this modern Daniel said—and his words burn into the courts of this whole land as a stinging rebuke to the practice of making justice mean one thing to the criminal with the long purse and another to the wretch who hath not the place to lay his head Listen: "Well," said Judge Wofford, "you're guilty of murder, alright, but, you're a poor, ignorant black man, and I don't want to hang you. You have no friends. You have no one to plead that you were insane when you killed this man. If I sentence you to hang, you will hang, just as sure as there's a God in heaven. There will not be a whole lot of women circulating petitions to save your neck. There will not be a lot of fool men writing letters to the Governor to save you. No one will send you flowers. You'll just be forgotten until the day set for your hanging, and then they'll hang you. I'll sentences you to thirty years in the penitentiary." What an indictment of the conditions with which this country is burdened from ocean to ocean every time a Thaw, a Mrs. Kauffman, or any individual of means takes human life! What incisive ridicule of the maudlin sentimentality of the mob, such as we saw when Hoch, Holmes and Leutgirt were battling with the law which sought to avenge society for the foulest of murders! A volume of sarcasm, not unmingled with the acme of wisdom, is encouched in this brief, but most timely address. It gives forth a leaven that ought to be felt in every see ion, and sets an example which judges in the South, especially, should seek to follow, because of the thousands of outcast there, who have never known sympathy, or the guidance of a good precept—the victims of an environment which they eave neither created nor understand. Until the benighted black waifs of the South learn what responsibility means and more fully realize their obligations to the social code, they should have extended to them the hand of mercy. In the perfervid language of the. Washington Post, we echo the sentiment it so generously expresses: "Across the fruitful distance, peopled by happy, prosperous and enlightened millions, which smile and burgeon between Washington and Kansas City, we send to Judge Wofford the message of our overflowing admiration." The rights of man are superior to all other rights. We must assure liberty and absolute protection to life and property for black and white alike, then we may go legislating about other things. But until every human being in this country enjoys the protection of the law everywhere and in every place the United States cannot be said to be a really free country. It is but fair to Prof. W. H. Richards of the Law Department of Howard University, to assure the Boston Guardian that he had notfng whatever to do with the Washington letter which appeared in the columns of The Freeman a short time ago, bearing up on the troubles in the Bethel Literary and Historical Association. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER The sickening story of lynchings still continues to come from the South. There was one at Atlanta on Tuesday of last week and another impending at Mayfield, Kentucky, and De Soto, Mo. Of course the victims are Negroes and the usual charge is made of assaults upon white women. We hope it is not necessary to say that The Freeman does not uphold any man, black or white, in the perpetration of crime. All it asks is that when charges of crime are made that the party accused be arrested in an orderly way, given a fair trial and if proved guilty punished under the regular provisions of the law. In none of the instances in the South called to our notice is there any pretense of doing this. The slightest suspicion or accusation causes a Negro to be run down like a wild beast and killed without Judge or Jury at the hands of a mob. It frequently happens that men entirely Innocent are wrongfully accused and murdered by mobs. A notable. SHORT FLIGHTS BY R. W. THOMPSON. I strive to keep me in the sun, I pick no quarrel with the years Nor with the fates—not even the one That holds the shears. The time is short enough at best; I push rightward while I may; I open to the winds my breast, And walk the way. A kind heart greets me here and there; I hide from it my doubts and fears. I trug, and say the path is path is fair Along the years —John Vance Cheney. People hear all of a twenty-minute sermon. We strenuously insist that the proper noun "Negro" should be spelled with a capital "N." The limelight never injures the right- thinking or right living. It is the grafter who fears the calcium of investigation. The friends of the Fairbanks boom are hoping it is sufficiently strong to overcome the handicap of the Boston Guardian's support. The editor's female assistant or printer who doesn't go out and tell the secrets of the office to the public will hold her job a long time. The successful preacher deals with the concrete, tangible lessons of life and living, eschewing frayed-out dogma and unconvincing abstractions. The saving habit, acquired while young, permits an indulgence in the resting habit when age has sapped the manly vigor and dimmed the eagle eye. When we bear in mind what a hot time they are having in Russia for the past few months, no one ought to be surprised to hear that the Douma has been "dissolved." For the information of the curious, it is THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.) We happen to know that the amendments for which Senator Hemenway voted were the regular "administration measures," approved by the party caucus, and agreed to by President Roosevelt and the leaders of the Senate majority as the best that could be gotten through the body at this session. Senator Hemenway can safely stand before the people of Indiana upon the admirable record he has made, and ignore all the hysterical charges La Follette may lay at his door from now until doomsday. As Mr. Hemenway well says, "I have followed in the pathway marked out by my party, after the most careful deliberation, and most conscientious regard for our pledges. If the party is wrong, then I am wrong." Senator Hemenway is not wrong, and the party is not wrong on the rate bill. He voted, as he always does, for the practical, not the impossible dreams of the theorit and fanatic. Ye scribe is under renewed obligations to Mr. Robert A. Pelham, of the Census Bureau, Washington, D.C., for a souvenir postal card, designed and copyrighted by Mr. Pelham himself, as a compliment to the famous Bethel Literary and Historical Association of that city. The card which is of unusually fine quality, shows a well-executed engraving of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, accompanied by a medallion portrait—a speaking likeness, to—of Bishop Daniel A. Payne, who founded Bethel Literary fully a quarter of a century ago. Mr. Pelham is quite an inventive genius, hay- --- --- --- ... *** case of this kind recently occurred at Little Rock, Arkansas. A Negro accused by a white woman was sentenced to be hung. Afterwards, the woman confessed that the man was wrongfully accused and completely exonerated him. INDIANAPOLIS would be indeed proud to have the $50,000 K. of P. temple located in this city. None would be greater pleased at such than The Freeman as Indianapolis is centrally located and has between thirty and thirty-five thousand colored people besides over 40 colored churches.

When we see a 'dude' doctor in attendance at every dance, pink tees, mattinee musicale, moonlight excursion, fishing junket and rag-time plonic we tremble for the welfare of his poor patients—if he has any. Haven't you noticed a striking resemblance between Castro, the president of the Venezuelan Republic and Prof. Jesse Lawson, the distinguished New Jersey leader and head of the National Sociological Society? Last week a colored woman of Kingston, Williamson County, Tenn., gave birth to six children. All were alive and doing well when last heard from. President Roosevelt doubtless smole a broad smile when the delightful news was telegraphed to him. Russell Sage had the reputation of being a "close" man, but he managed to loosen up enough to give Tuskegee Institute a substantial donation some years ago. The widow is likely to add to the amount when the time comes for the distribution of the benefits she is said to have in mind. If a light complexion is to be deemed a bar to leadership among Negroes, what argument will now remain for the manufacturer of the "Black Skin Remover" and the various face-bleach and anti-kink nostrums? Somebody is always putting obstacles in the pathway of honest industry. A noticeable development in the religious world is the wonderful activity of the Catholics among the colored people of the South. Negro priests are being educated in the Catholic school, missions are being established wherever they can get a foothold, and competent teachers are being placed at strategico points throughout the country, particularly in the Southern states-Nashille, Tenn, has a well-attended Negro Catholic church. ing invented a patent passer a year or so ago, which was adopted by the Census Bureau, and is now in successful operation there. Although still a young man, Mr. Pelham will be remembered by the older members of the "press gan" as the editor and "head push" of the Detroit Plaindealer which stood at the apex of Negro journalism some twenty years ago, and which could be copied after with profit by most of our publications of to-day. The Bethel Literary souvenir card comes at a timely moment, and we do not doubt that it will have a large circulation. Largely as a result of Secretary Taft's stinging characterization of the bulk of the republican party of the South as an aggregation of office-grabbers, Alabama's fighting republicans have put on their war paint, and are planning to put up a full State ticket and declare they will make a stiff campaign and do their level best to elect their candidates. Two live, aggressive parties in every southern State would lead to a happy regeneration of politics, business and the industries in less than a decade. William P. Owens writes from Arkansas to the Washington Bee that Section 4 of the rate law passed by the recent session of Congress, annuls the "jim crow" regulations of the Southern States. He claims that colored passengers traveling from one State to another are entitled to accommodations with the whites, and if denied the same, they have room for criminal action against the offending railroad. It is discriminatory practice, according to the law cited, for railways to force colored passengers to ride in the jim-crow cars or to deny them the right to eat in dining cars or occupy berths in sleeping cars, and a formal petition to the Interstate Commerce Commission will bring forth an order from the Commissioners to comply with their oaths, guaranteeing to colored passengers in interstate travel the same privileges white passengers are allowed. We --- --- --- --- --- ```markdown ``` quote almost literally from the letter of Mr. Owens to the Bee. If section 4 possesses the remarkable power claimed for it, we hope our keen-witted attorneys will discover the same, and have its provisions immediately enforced. The information regarding this statute is indeed important—if true. R. W. THOMPSON. ATKINSON COLLEGE AWAKE ATKINSON COLLEGE AWAKE (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE ) and is now a very well established school, and one that is accomplishing much in the way of affording an education to the colored people. The six graduates had orations that were so well prepared and so well delivered that it was a surprise to most of the white people who were there. At least two of the orations were a long way above the average of the ordinary school commencement effort, while the others were so well prepared that they elicited the heartiest applause of the audience. These exercises spoke well for Dr. W. E. Shaw, the able principal; Prof. S. F. Collins, and others connected with the institution. These graduates showed that they had been trained by master minds. We are more than pleased with the progress the colored people have made along educational lines in the past twenty-five years, for the better the Negro is educated, the better man or woman he can make of his own people, and the result will be beneficial to all the people. Atkinson College is a very important factor in making the colored people of the town a better and more respectable race. The Negroes of Madisonville are to be commended and congratulated for the interest they are taking in their churches and their schools." Atkinson Literary and Industrial College is an institution for Christian education, and is named in honor of Mr. J. B. Atkinson, the philanthropic president of the St. Bernard Coal and Mining Company, which has immense holdings in the vicinity, and adds very materially to the wealth and influence of this section of the State of Kentucky. Mr. Atkinson has given largely of his private means to help the school, as has also Mr. I. Bailey, another good friend, whose presence at the recent commencement was a decided inspiration to all. Madisonville is in the center of a rich mining region, and the St. Bernard company gives employment to scores of thrifty and industrious colored men, whose children find at Atkinson College just the opportunity they need to make them able to earn a comfortable livelihood and to take their places as capable and industrious citizens. The founder, chief patron and president of the school is Bishop George Wylie Clinton, universally known as one of Zion's very ablest, most energetic and most scholarly prelates. He is pardonably proud of what has been accomplished in the fourteen years of the school's existence, and is enthusiastic its vast possibilities as an agency for the uplift of the race. In addition to his exacting church work, covering a wide era of territory, Bishop Clinton has supervised and raised money to help secure the valuable property here, and has personally exerted himself to aid in paying their teachers their salaries, oftimes advancing the money from his own pocket when the educational fund was not adequate to meet the demands upon it. The local management of the school during the past year has been in the hands of Prof. W. E. Shaw, principal, and Prof. Sylvester F. Collins, assistant and secretary, two strong factors in educational work, reinforced by a competent faculty and a general board of trustees, made up of public-spirited ministers and laymen of the connection. It is not too much to say that events are so shaping themselves that Atkinson will not be long in establishing itself in the popular mind as second only to Livingstone among the intellectual institutions fostered by the Zion fold. Bishop Clinton, discussing the situation, said to your correspondent a few days ago: "Industrial schools are as greatly needed for the proper development of the Negro youth of the North as they are for the masses father South, for in proportion as we all become equipped to perform satisfactorily the work that the world wants done, we shall find the door of opportunity widening for the employment of our skill in every section of the country. The school year that will open shortly finds us fully alive to the blessings that are being offered by the many educational institutions throughout the land, and we no longer need to be told that to prepare for the manifold duties of life the Negro youth, like the whites, require every species of training—industrial, technical, college and professional. With the value of a well-rounded development firmly established in the minds of the people of both races, the burden of the work of the educator is perceptibly lessened, and he can give a larger share of his time to the duty of providing the necessary buildings, appliances and teachers to meet the increasing demands that come naturally with the passing of the years. "There is not a more promising school for our boys and girls in the land than Atkinson College," continued the Bishop. At the closing period we had over 100 students and twenty States were represented. There were six graduates, each of whom is a credit to the school, and is already actively engaged in a useful calling among their people. There are at present three departments—Normal, Grammar school and Industrial. Every Lady Read This. Years ago when I was a sufferer, an old nurse told me of a wonderful cure for Leucorrhea. I was told to use Uricin and Ovarian troubles I cured me a month. It is a simple harmless lotion that I can wear. I have one having the recipe I will send it From France to write to me. I have nothing to sell. This is a case of woman helping woman. I send it to a nurse Mrs A. A. B. Hudaut, South Bend, Ind. The Normal department comprises three years, and the purpose is too thoroughly prepare young men and women as teachers and to fit themselves for practical service in life. It is an undeniable fact that we, as a race, stand in the direst need of welltrained men and women whose minds have been taught to think, as well as their hands to work. The one must supplement the labors of the other. The grammar school is for the purpose of laying a thorough and solid foundation in the English branches—and we lay great stress on thoroughness in this particular branch—as in all others. We are trying to bring our industrial department up to a high standard of efficiency, as it is fundamental in a gainful way to our students, who must work for their education. The farm is in active operation, the labor being performed wholly by the students, who are thus enabled to assist themselves and at the same time render a great service to the boarding department of the institution. Wheat, corn, peas, beans, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, vegetables and millet for the stock are among the products under cultivation, on the $32\%$ acres of land, and hogs and poultry are raised in goodly numbers, constituting one of the school's principal industries. Carpentry, bricklaying and agriculture are taught the --- ```markdown ``` Malta-Vita Malta-Vita, a healthful and delicious food all the year 'round, is the ideal Summer food because it gives the body all the nourishment it requires and does not give the stomach a lot of hard work to do.

The future of Atkinson is assured, and with the proper financial backing, so as to provide the necessary buildings, equipment and teachers, we are certain that a greater work can be done in Kentucky and its environs, where such an institution is a prime necessity. Its existence is regarded as especially fortunate for the State, since the heretofore hospitable doors of Berea College have been closed against our boys and girls by the Day law. It, therefore, fills a long-felt want which the seeing members of the race all over the country will not be slow to recognize. "The coming year," concluded Bishop Clinton, "will be a grand one for Negro education—industrial and literary—and we feel that Atkinson deserves and will get a liberal share of the race's earnest seekers after the knowledge that is most productive and which finds the readiest market."

It was Mr. Keith who first stretched forth his hand and snatched variety performers as a brand from eterna degradation. He established high-class headliners as stars In vaudeville and ye some of them seek to slay him rs seen ir the June Issue of a colored magazine pub- lished at Indianapolis, Ind., which has never succeeded in attracting attention anc and whose methods have never beer discussed. It was along drop for a colored maga: zine to fall from grace to succomb to the wilful efforts of white performers, whe draw the color line, to publish a lot of rot that does not concern colored people ot actors at all. Mr. Keith, first of ail American vaudeville managers has ever been the colored actor's greatest friend and advocate, and first to advance him in the new form of starring an arti t, break- ing asunder all the barriers of opposition tn that rank, in days of prejudice, that ruled the North and Western territory. He i supremely, as I will justly show the mas- ter ofall good which he surveys as a director. When salaries began to go up and dra ‘matic stars and opera singers began to come down tothe level of a vaudeville cyclone of high financial figuring, it hd¢ necessarily become quite the duty of the man who first paid the biggest money to halt in favor of an uninviting managerial bankruptey. With this event an actor session. ihere was not a black rat in it. ‘This organization in its plunge of exaction to managers was too sudden, its demands too great, if otherwise reasonable, to al ‘once meet with the full approval of mana- gers as they gradually greet the new com- bination of actor's affairs. This war of vaudeville actors against managers {s a white war and not areal national one, consequently it does not apply to colored performers at all, they are all ‘white rats” and just why a colored magazine should stoop toespouse the cause of a white actor's fight against managers and blas- phemy the name of B. F. Kelth is a pure wonder indeed | must say. It simply goes to show that a man who signs his name as “Shine” has simply slipped an article into a colored magazine that a white publication wouldn't handle. Ifthe “white rats’? had been a national issue of actors called “American Rats” there would never have been any discus- sion regarding Charlie Case being three fourths white or Billy Windom half white and admitted or Clarence Powell brown skin and George Walker, dark, not ad- mitted at all. The scoring of B. F. Keith In the Indianapolis colored magazine which ‘was at first supposed to have been pub- lished for the benefit of waiters and coach- men, is the best thing that could have hap- pened to establish the good reputation of Mr. Kelth in the West by the defensive and truthful statement I have ushered forth as a rebuttal to the inferior assail- ment of his enemy. Managers bulld thea- ters forthe convenience of the amuse- ment loving public; if they do so for speculation they at least pay many differ- ent classes of psople whom they are obliged to employ to do the work. It would not seem reasonable if they had to pay all the money that comes in to one actor of big reputation, who has once earned his fortune on the legitimate stage, but having lost it, grown old or worn in service, must take all the cash leaving what is left to small white and black per- formers and to him who built the ‘theatre. Allthis I say inthe face of the fact that B. F, Keith has been the most liberal of salary payers; he first invented the “thousand dollar’ racket and asa mana- ger who ts still willing to pay a large profitable salary to anv performer or rat, black or white, Irish or Jewish alike, he is quite the first manager, If any to recognize the Importance of calling a halt when high priced vaudeville stars go outrage ously beyond discretion. It was not in the best interests of white actors that they sought a colored magazine and one of secondary standing to air their differences with managers. White actors must remember there will be nostrength ina white actor's union where colored actors actors are disregard- ed. inthis country, and without them a union will bealmest help!ess and in the event of a general disagreement the colored actors will thrive as colored working men did, in and even after, the Chicago strike. Managers will see to it that colored actors who have been turned down by their white brothers wil prosper on equal grounds of honest chivalry; they willbe able to step in to fill vacancies from grand opera down to a circus. To mention the name of Keith alone of accusation is as false and unjust as it Is to publish a Keithslander ir < colored magazine. In the Keith regime, it may be sald tha! E. F. Albee, who is Mr. Keith's general representative, is not so much the opposer of large salaries as he is of the “extortion’ plan of big actors who are over overpalc and who would not even solicit the same square deal for their brother if his skin be black. It is nevertheless trua that Mr Albee himself is a mean cute conservative thinker whose valuable intelligence car only be measured by the sure and exact ing finish of his work. He 1s one of the few of a nervous class of theatrical philoso || phers with the head of an elderly malder glorified inthe achievements inher life's || work of thoughtful direction and the goo’ |that her conservatism had done for man '|k nd and the institutions she had bullt asi standing monument for his glory. For o [such are the Albee statistics.

It bids fair to be one of the year's "best sellers." The Colored People's Blue Book of Chicago, for the current year, will soon make its appearance. It will be issued by Mr. D. D. Bethea. The forthcoming volume, it is said, will be far superior to the very commendable production put out by the same author last year. --- Hon. Albert S. White, Louisville's best-known barrister and premier political leader, is said to be contemplating the launching of a first-class race journal in the Kentucky metropolis, in which event he will be likely to have associated with him that rising young writer, thinker and orator, Mr. C. B. Lewis. --- It is given out as a fact that at the conclusion if his labors as special agent for the Census Bureau's "Statistics of Religious Bodies," Mr. Editor Edward E. Cooper will revive The Colored American at Washington and return permanently to the field of journalism. Mr. Cooper has been "like fish out of water" ever since he temporarily abandoned the work of his life for the dreary phantoms of humdrum official routine. It is also asserted that the Hon. John P. Green, who is a gifted writer on political and general subjects, will be associated with Mr. Cooper as managing editor. Such a combination would be a powerful one, and would make fur fly during the next national campaign. ```markdown ``` Sylvester Russell has abandoned the idea of getting our "Sylvester Russell's Review" during the dull summer months, but may resume in the fall, if his obstinate publishers can be made to see the value of sticking to the Russell band-wagon, and are willing to let it be conducted in the high plans originally outlined by the well-known critic. Mr. Russell has been spending some time at his home in Orange, N. J., but has recently begun a song recital tour, including a brief stay in Boston, and playing York Beach, Me., the White Mountains and the Adirondacks, and other aristocratic summer resorts, where genuine talent is appreciated. Mr. Russell, who sings a baritone-tenor, of expansive range, is being assisted by Prof. William C. Enty, a finished performer on the piano. --- D. G. Hill, editor of the Mosaic Guide, has been given the contract for four years to haul the mail for the postoffice at Little Rock, Rrk. Six new mail wagons and seven new horses have been purchased. Everything is fish that comes into an editor's net, and Brother Hill will find himself as thoroughly at home handling the reins as weilding the pen. The editor the the British Review of Reviews, London, recently conceived the excellent idea of finding out what literary influences the labor members of Parliament have undergone. One of these, Thomas Burt said that the books which had most benefited him were Channing's essays on Milton and the biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Frederick Douglass, both self-taught under adverse circumstances. Is not Ethiopia indeed stretching forth her hand, conferring benefactions upon all humanity? ... "The Moon," which rose in Memphis, Tenn., some months ago, amid a mighty flourish of trumpets and great ado, has gone into eclipse. It is complained that its editor, Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, who furnished the brains at long range—from Atlanta—did not turn on the proper voltage of light that the cheery and progressive Negro must have in this optimistic era, and that he was not sufficiently wideawake to grasp the sordid significance of the word "hustle." The lugubrious nies sounded in the "Souls of Black Folks," may appeal to the doctrinaire who has time to brood over dismal tones, amounding in long-drawn-out tales of woe, but the fellow who has crops to harvest, machines to attend to, churches to pastor, schools to teach, ideas to work out, and who must make away if he finds none, is too busy for such unwholesome indulgences. "The Moon" lagged superfluous upon the lap of a strenuous age. That its light went out is not strange. ... The mischevious machinations of the "walking delegate" among the colored miners of Hopkins and Webster counties, Kentucky, is the theme around which Mr. Phil H. Brown, editor of the Hopkinsville Morning News—the only Negro daily in the State—has woven a web of "Chronicles," written in the vernacular of Ezra, the writer of the original "Book of Chronicles" in Holy Writ. The style is novel and while the recounting of THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. By R. W. Thompson peregrinations of "Jehosophat" (one W. J. Campbell), is in humorous vein, the Biblical tone is carried out without a suggestion of ribaldry and the story of his deceit and treachery toward the trusting Negro miners is followed with absorbing interest. The booklet is a scathing arraignment of the grafting methods if the labor unions, and is intended as a solemn warning for all Negroes who value their money, peace of mind and loyalty to their employers, to beware of the union "walking delegate," as they would a pestilence. A simple request for the book sent to Phil H. Brown, Hopkinsville, Ky., will bring anybody a copy. ... "The Industrial Condition of the Negro in the North" is the title of an instructive pamphlet, issued from Philadelphia as No. 498 of the Publications of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. It is a valuable contribution to the literature of the day on economic problems and will prove to be of especial interest to those who wish to make a thorough study of the scientific aspect of the race problem as it appears North of the Mason's and Dixon's line. The following list of the topics discussed, and the authors whose opinions are embraced therein, will give a very comprehensive idea of the scope of the work: "The Economic Handicap of the Negro in the North," by Kelly Miller; "The Negro in the Trades Unions in New York," Mary White Ovington; "The Migration of Negroes to the North," R. R. Wright, Jr.; "The Training of the Negro Laborer in the North," Prof. Hugh M. Browne; "The Industrial Condition of the Negro in New York City," Prof. W. L. Bulkley; "The Three Amendments," Prof. John Bascom. All are recognized authorities upon the subjects treated, and it will be seen that no phase of the Negro's condition in New York has been left untouched. The study is applicable also to the majority of northern cities, because the same environment and the same prejudices are found to exist, almost to the letter. It is being recognized by the best-informed sociologists that are long the Negro problem of the North, though differing in its manifestations, will be not less vexatious and intricate than the Negro problem that has been the bane of the South's economic, political and commercial development. --- "Alexander's Magazine" for July shows a more varied selection of matter than some of the other issues of the year, and is printed on better paper than usual. The arrangement could not be improved upon, and the typography is as accurate as the greatest stickler for exactness could demand. The frontispiece is a handsome engraving of S. Coleridge-Taylor, the famous African composer. The leading article goes deeply into the work of the National Afro-American Council, and tells of the energetic and result-producing labors of Dr. L. C. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the organization, who is making things hum from his Louisville headquarters. The plans of the Council, and the sentiment that it is creating among influential men of the opposite race, as indicated by letters herein published, are set forth at length, in readable form by Mr. Charles Alexander himself. A deserved tribute is paid to the self-sacrificing character of Dr. Jordan, who is a race man from his heart. "Kindergarten Work in the South" is well treated by Mrs. Addie H. Hunton, and there is a fund of historical lore embraced in several well-written sketches and stories. The Book Reviews by Mr. Alexander are splendid; in fact, he is the best we have in this particular form of literary research. Mr. Alexander has a happy faculty of getting right down to the "meat" of a book or article, and when he gives his resume of the thought therein, the casualty reader has the whole thing in a nutshell. The editorial comments on people and things are dignified and touch a wide range of topics. The reply to the Christian Register, touching Dr. Booker T. Washington's standing in Boston, was a fine bit of reparsee, and what it did to the "ignorant, narrow-minded, conceited, hypocritical untruthful, superlatively loquacious and bumptious Negroes" of the Hub was, in the language of the street. "a plenty." "Alexander's Magazine" is a credit to the contemporaneous literary thought of the race, and Mr. Alexander should be earnestly supported in his struggles to maintain the lofty standard he has so courageously inaugurated. Hon. John C. Dancy, editor, and Rev. J. F. Moreland, manager, have literally outdone themselves in the current edition of the "Quarterly Review of the A. M. E. Zion Church," a copy of which lies before us. Mr. Dancy has virile opinions on the church, the race and the nation, and he expresses himself upon each in no uncertain tone. He always talks on live themes, and is consequently a leader of thought for a vast clientele of readers, who want to get on the right side of the questions that agitate the people day by day. The pity of it is that he can not mount the editorial tripod oftener than once in three months. His defense of the corrective influence of the right kind of politics upon church, state and individual, has a manly ring, and there is a mint of truth in Mr. Dancy's conclusions. The many articles of value should be read with care by the masses, for they offer enough food for thought to keep the average citizen busy for the next quarter, and are equal to a course of lectures for which ten times the price of the magazine is paid without a murmur. We must content ourselves at this time by merely appending the table of contents as announced by the manager. The rich feast is as follows: Episcopal Address of Bishop Alexander Walters; "The Persistence of Personal Force in American History," William Garrison Brown; Speech of Mr. Andrew Carnegie at the Tuskegee Anniversary; "The Morning of Life," baccalaureate sermon by Rev. W. H. Ferguson; "Practical Hints on the Cause, Prevention and Treatment of Tuberculosis," by Dr. J. A. Wilder, Phar. D.; "As to Charles Francis Adams;" Comparative Statement of High School Training," Dr. J. H. N. Waring; "What is the Proper Name for the Black Man in America?" (A Symposium); Dr. Booker T. Washington's Sunday Evening Talk to the Tuskegee Students on "Frugality;" Address of Judge R. H. Terrell in interest of the Manassas Industrial Institute; "Literature: Its Place and Use;" Prof. George D. Davis; "The Fate of the Aged," (A Poem), Rev. J. Francis Lee; editorials. The July-August-September edition of the Zion Quarterly is the finest we have yet seen, and there are many points brought out by its gifted contributors to which we hope to make reference in the nenar future. Zion is fortunate in possessing such literary and managerial giants as her Dancys, Morelands, Clements, Birds and Bruces, who constitute the "Happy Family" at the Charlotte publishing house. ... "Glimpses of the Old World" is the title of a neatly-printed booklet from the graceful pen of Mrs. James E. Givens, a prominent factor in the religious, literary and social circles of Louisville, and who has been for some years president of the Baptist Women's Missionary Convention of the State of Kentucky. The volume is a description of the travels and experiences during a tour of Europe, taken last year as a delegate to the World's Baptist Convention at London, where the author distinguished herself by the delivery of several noteworthy addresses that attracted the attention of some of the most scholarly men and women of both continents. The story is delightfully told, and bears evidence of careful regard for accuracy, as well as for an engaging style and rhetorical finish. Mrs. Givens is a close observer, and her recital of the queer feeling one has when crossing the mighty deep for the first time, her tour of London, with graphic pictures of Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's, the National Gallery and Wallace's Collection of Famius Paintings, Westminster Church and its gracious pastor, Dr. Myers, the visit to Cambridge, and John Bunyan's historic home, the social affairs in which she participated without distinction as to race, the luncheon with the Russians and others, together with salient features of the Baptist World's Congress and its international influence, constitute an offering that is both rich and rare. Mrs. Givens is the first woman of our race to go abroad and give to literature, in permanent form, the benefit of her gleanings. Several Kentucky educators, notably, Prof. Isaac Fisher, principal of the Polytechnic Institute at Danville; Miss Andrew, of the public school near Richmond, and Mrs. W. M. O'Hara, of Jeffersontown, have strongly endorsed the work as one of much intrinsic value, and have decided to give it a place in the reading courses of their schools. By resolution introduced by Dr. C. H. Parrish, it was complimented by the Baptist Women's Missionary Convention in open session at Danville last week. The book sells at the modest price of twenty-five cents, and it is understood that the net proceeds derived from the sale go to provide a home for poor, deserving girls, gathered from the slums and elsewhere, and to teach them to make for themselves an honest living. In addition to Mrs. Givens' beautiful story, the book contains an excellent address by Rev. John Clifford, of England, president of the World's Baptist Alliance, entitled, "The Baptist Pilgrimage to Bunyan Land." "Glimpses of the Old World," merits a wide circulation. THE BAY LEAF. Famous For More Than Its Use For Culinary Purposes. "Two-thirds of modern recipes seem to call for 'a bay leaf,'" said a young housekeeper the other day, "and somehow it is always the one thing in the whole formula that a housekeeper will omit. One never has a bay leaf, probably for the reason that they are so elusive. Other necessities confront you on market stalls and shop counters, but the bay leaf rarely does. "When I finally obtained mine (a small glass jar of them) a short time ago I had not the faintest idea of a connection between the little withered looking things in the glass and the laurel leaves of the poets. To my surprise I now find that they are one and the same. I believe most sister housekeepers would be amazed to find that when they send a bay leaf fluttering into the pot of soup or stew they are really consigning to it the historic 'bays' which wreathe the brows of Homer and the bard of Avon. The scientific name is Laurus nobilis, and it belongs, according to my encyclopedia, to the laurel family, which includes the familiar sassafras. It is the 'green bay tree,' to which the wicked man is likened in the Scripture. "My delvings into this subject have revealed amid much laurel lore the fact that Bacon and other celebrities appreciated (gastronomically) its spicy flavor."—New York Press. LOVE OF HOME. An Instinct That Is Remarkably Strong In the Horse. The strongest instinct in the horse is that of home—all his thoughts and interests lie there—and the most wearing pain he suffers is that of nostalgia—the longing for the familiar stall and the well loved surroundings. What wonder that our pets almost invariably return to us from such unhappy experiences mere shadows of their former selves and in such wretched bodily condition that it is months before they regain their usual health and spirits. We blame the man in charge, poor feed, bad stabling, insufficient pasturage, etc., and overlook entirely the fact that it is our own fault and the direct result of heart hunger which no grass, grain or rooftree could entirely assuage. Of course the little used muscles have, from lack of exercise, shrunk and lost their firmness and plumpness; the crest has fallen from the same cause; "poverty lines" appear in the quarters and shoulders; the tall and mane are all out of shape or all worn away; the feet stubbed off; the coat dingy and sunburnt; the skin full of all manner of scars, cuts and abrasions; all these are the effect, not the cause, of the lack of bodily condition which is two-thirds due sheerly and solely, in the high bred, nervous, sensitive horse, to simple homesickness.—Exchange. POOR LITTLE PENGUINS. Many Are Nursed to Death by the Adult Birds. An antarctic explorer writes: "I think the penguin chicks hate their parents, and when one watches the proceedings in a rookery it strikes one as not surprising. In the first place, there is about one chick to ten or twelve adults, and each adult has an overpowering desire to sit on something. Both males and females want to nurse, and the result is that when a chicken finds himself alone there is a rush on the part of a dozen unemployed to seize him. "Naturally he runs away and dodges here and there till a huge 'emperor' falls on him, and then begins a regular football scrimmage, in which each tries to hustle the other off, and the end is too often disastrous to the chick. Sometimes he falls in a crack in the ice and stays there, to be frozen, while the parents squabble at the top. "Sometimes, rather than be nursed, I have seen him crawl in under an ice ledge and remain there, where the old ones could not reach him. I think it is not an exaggeration to say that of the 77 per cent that die no less than half are killed by kindness." "Red as a Sapphire." To say that a young girl's eyes are as blue as sapphires is as absurd as it would be to say that her mouth is as red as velvet. Sapphires, no more than velvet, are exclusively one color. The sapphires of Ceylon run from a soft blue to a peacock blue, which last is practically a green. There is also a red sapphire, sometimes called a Ceylonese ruby, a stone as precious as a Burma ruby. Besides blue, green and red sapphires, many fine ones are yellow and white. He Knew.

Where They Are Caught and How They Are Brought North. "The flesh of the green turtle often brings $50 a pound," said an oyster dealer. "This rich meat comes to us from the coral reefs of the West Indies. "The turtles are caught in nets among the rocks. They are very carefully brought north. They are deck passengers at first, but as the weather grows cold with the ship's progress they are penned in warm rooms below—regular staterooms. "It's a different treatment that they get, though, at the natives' hands. If a native is bringing turtles north he nails them fast to the deck by their flippers. Strange creatures that they are, they appear to suffer little under such cruel treatment. "The caliphe and calipash are respectively the flesh from the breast and the back of the green turtle, tidbits which, I have heard epicures say, are unequaled in the earth beneath, the heavens above or the waters under the earth. This meat is superlatively rich, delicate and tender. "Live green turtle fetches wholesale from a dime to a quarter a pound. What makes the meat so expensive in the end is that out of a 140 pound fish you'll only get two pounds of caliphe and one of calipash. "Several times when there has been a tight turtle market the chefs of millionaires and of certain extravagant hotels have offered me $1 a pound for live turtles. At that rate your calipse and calipash would come to quite $50 a pound."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. LIGHTHOUSES The First of Them Was One of the World's Seven Wonders. The first lighthouse of which there is any record in history was built by Ptolemy Philadelphia about 306 B. C. It was a tower on which wood fires were kept blazing at night. It was built on Pharos, a small island in the bay of Alexandria, and was one of the seven wonders of the world. It is an interesting fact that the modern French and Spanish names for lighthouse—the one being phare, the other faro—still preserve the memory of the island where the first attempt at seacost illumination was located. The ruined tower in Dover castle, England, erected about A. D. 44, is claimed by some authorities to have been built for a lighthouse, upon which an enormous wood fire was kept burning. The lighthouse on the southern end of the island of Conanicut, at the mouth of Narragansett bay, is said to be the oldest in the United States. The present structure is comparatively modern, but the first one was erected in 1750, and for nearly 100 years previous a watchtower, with a beacon fire, had existed at the same point. The lighthouse bears the odd name of Beaver Tail. The southern portion of Conanicut island is shaped something like a beaver, with its tail pointing southward, and in early times it was known by that name, the two extremities being called head and tail. Clever Rubinstein. The Italian tenor Marconi once made a visit to Rubinstein, during which the latter's little son came tripping eagerly into the music room and said, "This is myesta, papa, and I want a present." "Very well, my son, what shall it be?" "A waltz, papa, a new waltz all for myself, and now." "What an impatient little son it is!" exclaimed the great musician. "But of course you shall have your gift. Here it is. Listen! And for you," turning to the distinguished tenor, "I will play my 'Nero.'" "It seems incredible," says Marconi, "but then and there I witnessed and heard a most remarkable phenomenon. The maestro improvised and played a charming waltz with his left hand, giving me at the same time with his right the splendid overture." Mine.Turner's GREAT FRENCH SYSTEM.

CONVIGT No. 3420 PETE NT TTT TTT We had read all about him before he appeared at the prison under a sen- tence of ten years, The daily papers had said that bis name was Salters and his age about fori. He had taken rooms at a fashionable boarding house ou a certain street in Chieago and let it be known that he was a broker. On each side of the boarding house were private dwellings, and farther down the street, but to be reached over the roofs, was a large art store. The first thing to happen after the arrival of Mr. Salters, but with which his name was not at all connected, was the robbery of the art store. Other robberies followed. While the detec- tives were after the burglar the datly papers were after the detectives, and things were being made hot all around when the rooms of eleven guests in the boarding house at which Mr. Salters stopped were robbed on the same night. ‘The house was filled with detectives, and everybody was examined and cross examined, but it wasno use. ‘The rooms had been entered and despotled while the guests were sleeping. They were waiting in fear and trembling for the next outbreak when a stupid headed servant girl in the boarding honse solved the puzzle. From one of the side houses had been taken an unset catseye stone. This was found under Mr, Salters’ bed one morning when the girl swept the room. Mr, Salters was asked to ex- plain, As he couldn't explain, he ‘was traced to another room half a ‘mile away and all the plunder found. ‘He simply laughed when put under ar- ‘rest. He laughed when put on trial. : He had been caught so dead to rights that he smilingly pleaded guilty and took his ten year sentence without moving a muscle. ‘The police were on to Mr. Salters for one of the sleckest chaps in the business, and they would have given a great deal to trace his past and have him answer certain questions. Te was mum on all points, however. ‘They could not trace him back a month, and, as to how he entered the houses and rooms and left no trace bebind, that was one of his professional se crets. When Mr, Salters reached prison the first glance at him caused every- body to wonder where they had seen him before. Face, form, pose and gait all reminded us of somebody, but who that somebody was we could not re- call, Had he not been passed along to the barber and from thence into stripes so soon some of us might have been the wiser. He was quiet and respectful, and it was figured that he would make a model prisoner. After three days he was put at work in the shoe department, and all re- ports coming in about him were fa- yorable. At the end of six weeks he had a chill and was sent to his cell, and the doctor gave him some medi- cine. Up to this time the man had not asked for a book from the library nor to see the chaplain. Many pris- oners who had no religious feelings will ask for the chaplain now and then in order to have a talk and hear a human voice. On this day that he was taken ill Mr. Salters asked that the good man be sent to him, and I carried the message. I also noted that the cbaplain remained with convict No. 1120 for a full hour, and when he left the cell and came down thé cor- ridor his perturbation did not fail to attract my attention, He was very pale and had been weeping. Prison chaplains listen to many sad tales, and now and then thelr sympa- thies are aroused, but in the three years I had known our Mr. Davis I bad never seen him so greatly affected. He stopped as if he would speak to me, but his tears fell afresh, his lips trembled, and he finally passed on without a word. Mr. Salters took more medicine next ay and was exensed from work. At B o'clock in the afternoan the chante Ee i sen Se hte wasted fin without being sent for ana remained for two hours. I heard him praying long and fervently. When he left he was pale and had an anxious look, and yet there was also a look of resolve in his face, There is so much hypocrisy among convicts in the mat- ter of religion that my curiosity in this case was not very great. The greater the rogue the harder he will try to bamboozle the chaplain into believing that he wants to walk in new paths. It Was a question with me whether Mr. Salters had seen the error of his ways or was only shirking his work, The next forenoon at 11 o'clock the chaplain paid his third visit, and as the bell rang for the convicts to march in to dinner be came forth from the cell and passed me, and the guard at the end of the corridor opened the gate for him. Other guards did the same thing, and in five minutes he was clear of the prison. It was two hours later when the doctor came in, 1 accompanied him to Salters’ cell, and there we found the convict undressed and in bed and weep- ing. No, it was not the convict. It was the chaplain, though but for his long hair I should have been longer de- ceived. The doctor spotted him almost atonce, The conviet's striped suit was lying on the floor. “You have changed clothes with No. 3420 and let him walk out!” exclaimed the doctor. “Yes,” was the tearful reply. “But why, man, why?” “Reeanse he is my twin brother and has promised to lead a better life!” The chaplain was foreed to resign and was also arrested and put on trial and convicted, but T believe the gov- ‘ernor stood his friend and had sentence suspended. M. QUAD. ORIGINAL NEW ENGLAND. It In Said That It Was Located on the Pacific Coast. ‘There is a common saying that if the pilgrim fathers bad only landed on the Facific coast a large portion of the Atlantic seaboard would never have been settled. Californians, Oregonians and Washingtonians believe this im- plicitly. In other words, the charms of the Pacific coast in the way of climate are so appreciated that, having once experienced them, men are unwilling to live elsewhere contentedly. Now, not one man in a thousand living on the Pacific coast knows that as a matter of fact the accents of our mother tongue were heard on the beach not far from San Francisco forty-one years before English was spoken on Plym- outh rock. More amusing still is the fact that the original New England was on the Pacific coast, for Sir Francis Drake in 1579, at the close of a month's stay, took possession of the country for his sovereign, Elizabeth, and named the new acquisition Nouva Albion (New England) because he thought the white cliff near what is now Point Reyes re- sembled the chalk cliffs near Dover— Alexander McAdie in Outing Magazine. ‘gence iene: In the highlands of Scotland at the present time the osprey ‘usually makes its nest in the flat top of a pine tree, but formerly it just as frequently se- lected « battlement or a chimney of some ruin, generally on an island. ‘The nest is a pile of sticks as'much as four feet high and as many broad—the ac- cumulation of many years—intermixed with turf and other vegetable matter, lined with finer twigs and finally with grass, much of it often green—Glas- gow Times. any. “Did you sell horses to those two customers yesterday?” we ask of our friend the horse dealer. “Yom” “Make anything?” “Off of Jones—yes.” “Jones?

THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Information to Delegates-Points for Local Leagues-What it Has Accomplished. The next session of the National Negro Business League will be held in Atlanta, Ga., August 29th, 30th, and 31th. The Executive Committee, with the officers of the organization, will meet the day before, August 28th, for the purpose of canvassing the work of the year past, and to finally arrange matters of detail in connection with the Atlanta session. Plans are now being matured for special coaches and trains to run into Atlanta for the meeting from New Orleans, Indianapolis, Chicago, points in Mississippi and Kansas, from Washington City, and from one or two other points. It is very important that those desiring information as to lodging and other comforts in Atlanta should correspond at once with Mr G. M. Howell. First Vice-President, 164 Wall St., Atlanta, Ga., and that those desiring information as to transportation, etc., should correspond with Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, Transportation Agent, 934 S Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. The National Negro Business League stands for the elevation of the Negro people in business and commercial directions, but recognizes fully the necessity for work also in other directions; such work, for instance, as is being done by the Afro-American Council and numerous religious and secular organizations. During the brief period of its existence, the League has given the race new hope and new life and added faith. It has stimulated the entire race in business directions. Largely through its influence nearly 200 local Negro business leagues have been organized, business of nearly every character, such as merchandising, banking, real estate dealing, manufacturing, contracting and others, have been started. Twenty-two banks are now being operated by the race, eight of these in Mississippi alone. No less than fourteen of these banks have been started since the League was organized. Two theatres have also been built. What is your community doing? If it has no local Negro business league, it should organize one at once. It should also send a delegate to the Atlanta meeting. Has your local Negro business league secured a charter? If not SECRET When you need money you'll be pleased with our way of dealing with you. Prompt, Sate and Reasonable always. FURNITURE ORGANS and PERSONAL PROPERTY of all kinds without removing. Our rates are positively the lowest in the city and payments within reach of all, £25.00 loan payments are only 80 per week.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. CARD OF THANKS. New Phone 4270 It is hoped that delegates intending to be present at the Atlanta meeting will bring their wives with them, as the social functions in connection with the coming session promise to be a feature of the meeting. Splendid preparations are being made for the annual banquet which will, it is said, surpass all former ones. The meeting should and will be made an occasion of rest and recreation as well as of business. The National Negro Business League believes that the future of the race lies largely in the constructive, progressive, positive efforts that will convince the world of our worth and ability. It invites the co-operation and the helpful interest of all who sympathize with a program which seeks to benefit the race along such lines as it is working. send at once to Mr. Fred R. Moore, National Organizer, 4 Cedar St., New York, who will send full information. I wish to urge again that each local league have a regular place of meeting, and a stated time of meeting, at least once a month, and that the topics for discussion be carefully selected. The citizens of Atlanta and Georgia are preparing to give the League the greatest reception in its history. Many of the strongest and most successful of our men and women will have places on the program. □ BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, President, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., August 1, 1906. General Corresspondence.

C.A. made an appeal to the various churches, last Sunday, for aid; white the response was somewhat gratifying to the managers, yet it is clearly perceptable that the people have an unjust conception of the work. It is to be regretted that the business men and other reputable citizens have tried to evade their duty to the association. But in view of all of this, the members have been strenuously endeavoring to sustain the organization in order that the great moral work might be carried on. Many have expressed the hope that the work might continue. But the association cannot subsist off of sympathy, as money is of great importance just now.—Miss Mary Frielson is improving.—Mrs A. P.
