THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XXI NUMBER 25 LIBERIA | WISHES TO STOP FOREIGN THREATS New Odd Fellows Building is Dedicated at Philadelphia—B. 0. Davis Appointed Instructor of the Tenth Cavalry. By the National Negro Press Bureau. WASHINGTON, D.C. June 17, 2014. The Liberian envoys, Vice President J. J. Doscon, former President G. W. Gibson and Charles E. Dunbar, of the Liberian bar, to the National Blacks and White House of the Palkover Institute for the)}(2) on the national capital this week. On Wednesday evening, in company with the White House, the White House, who is a long-time president of the self-welfare, since their arrival on these shores, the envoys were given a cordial reception by President John W. House. The White House, in the Washington, came on from "United" Institute for the express purpose of presenting them to the President, Secretaries of the White House and other prominent officials, and to give his moral support to the important mission which brought them to America's hospitable soil. The conference was held on 9:30 p.m., and lasted over an hour. He will be a member that the envoys primary purposes in visiting the United States at this event is the good offices of this government, present to the government by England, France and Germany upon their territory. Liberian, he was found to be in possession of the research value of value and the commercial forces of Europe most powerful nations are anxious to get hold of valuable outlying strips, with a view of the future. The White House is the only advantage, and the Liberian feels that the integration of their republic is thus endangered. The United States have no legal ground for intervention, but the envoys are appealing to the government and international influence in inducing England and the government and France to abandon their policy of aggression. A purpose scarcely second in the service connection with the future of Liberia is to be the first of the future. The United States will be in the development of that country's manufacturing products, and preparing the republic along industries and educational lines to take a high place in the commercial affairs of the world. President Roosevelt listened with the closest attention to the representations of the firm, Vice President Dosen set forth the firm's commitment and with dignity and diplomatic grace. The President appeared to be highly interested in the vivid description, mineral resources of the black republic and was visibly impressed with the attractive painting by the commissioners of the firm, their country. The country has a populous and ambitious element, thousand are civilized, none are under the untutored natives, led by the intellect and ambition element, can be molded into any capable of making the wilds of Liberia a part of the country. Mr. Dosen says with the introduction of modern machinery and the training of some spots on face of the industrial and agricultural pursuits, backyard funds to finance manufactures and the rubber would become one of the most prestigious spots on face of the globe. After the delegation departed, feeling asked by the President's sympathetic manner and the delegation evidences of warm friendship that he has with the impression upon the Chief Executive and that they might expect him to go as far as be bound with proper regard for international standards and diplomatic standards. accompanied by Dr. Washington, the poet made a call upon Secretary Taft to make a visit home on K street, where a similar home on K street was accorded some. The Secretary has long been a member of the colonial affairs of the African continent and has given Liberia special consideration as the legitimate child of the United States, and there are more pleased to greet the Liberian inmates and in the interview gleaned much information that he regarded as particularly useful. Thursday, under escort of Dr. Washington, the inmates was made, and a cell of spies on Agriculture was made upon Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson. Among the many friends he met by the delegation was General Firmin, the inmate who was in the city on business, in court with his secretary, a distressed looking young man, with a big machete. General Firmin, good natured and unusually affable, had with a delightful French accent, impressed himself as proud of the progress in American Negroes are making along all lines of endeavor. Thursday night a public reception was held the Liberian envoys at Lincoln Temple Congregational Church. The general arrangements were in the hands of Lawyer Thurlow, who so successfully engineered the commencement at Tuskegee Institute in a few years ago. The church was located under the supervision of Mr. Henry Lloyd, who is a veteran in Writers' pertaining to the American colors predominated, and in a conscious place; suspended from the ceiling with large Liberian flag, made especially for the occasion, crowded to the doors long before the reception was called to order. Standing room was at a premium, and the streets adjacent to the church were filled with people unable to attend the admission, the reception was held in with special session of the Washington branch of the National Negro Business League, the preliminary portion of the program, which was established by the organization, and the newly elected and the organization of the new 11th- and 12th-Years of the American College of Business, was installed with appropriate ceremonies. Retiring President J. A. Lankford called the house to order and introduced the organization, and the new 11th- and 12th-Years, who spoke briefly. Dr. Booker, Washington was asked to preside over the reception proper, and the "Wizard" came. A group of members of the American College of Business, who brought the envoys to this country, and his indorsement of both the men and their cause was hearty and sincere, and the meeting, being their country and dwelling at length upon the question of the future, was attended and industrial possibilities and pleading for a closer union between the United States and the Liberia were delivered by each of the members of the Association of the American College of Business, and the audience gave evidence of cordial approval of all that was said. A brilliant musical program was rendered to the group, the director of the "Amanda V. Gray, choice selections being presented by Messrs. C. Sumner Wormley, Clarence Cameron White, H. Leonard Jeter and Miss Mary L. Europe. Following the publication of the "Amanda V. Gray" book, a toothsome collision was served to the group. The invited guests at Gray's finely appointed cafe.

W., and a house full of prominent gentlemen were invited to meet them.

Houston, Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, has been to Philadelphia for several days. His mission there was to help the organization of the order the magnificent headquarters which has been built in the heart of Philadelphia, on the corner of Twelfth and Spruce streets. The ground, building and office space of the organization is 400, and is conceded to be the finest office building owned by men of color in the world. It is freeway, constructed of steel, granite, marble and terra cotta, riser and elevator service and electrical fixtures throughout. The first floor will be rented to merchants, while the floors above, arranged as offices, will be used to conduct business. The building has a frontage of 120 feet, and is designed upon the most modern type of architecture. It will be dedicated with elaborate ceremonies on July 15, under the auspices of the Lodge, a municipalized and efforts have been made in the past to secure a suitable building, but it was reserved for Grand Master Houston's business administration to give the order a permanent office city, a credit to the race, and an honor to the great fraternity of Odd Fellows. The Grand Master is being showered with congratulations upon the erection of mass-masonry monument to his capacity and ability as a leader of this world-wide organization. Hon. Charles B. Williams, a former mayor of the principal city of New Zealand, a foremost member of the bar, and one of the wealthiest men of that faraway country, is in Washington on business servations likely to prove beneficial to his adopted land. He has been shown many courtesies by our citizens and leading public officials. Mr. Frank H. Hitchcock is very likely to be named as chairman of the National committee. His masterly in bringing titles to the secretary, Taft titles to him the honor—and more. He is said to be the choice of the genial War Secretary for the place—which ought to will, in all probability, be made vice chairman. With Hitchcock stationed at New York and Vorsy at Chicago, we may look forward to a campaign that will wake the echoes from the "piney woods of Maine and low-sweet shores about the Golden Gate." --- Elijah Reynolds, an enterprising Washington boy, brother of Architect T. H. Reynolds and of Mrs. Aaron Bankett, conceded to be one of the most capable offenders in the Philippines, has been promoted from quartermaster sergeant to first sergeant. His commission was presented to him in the presence of the full commission of the office, took occasion to pay him a happy tribute to his efficient services. Sergeant Reynolds is fond of army life, and says the faithful colored officer is given a fair chance for promotion when he proves his worth. The suggestion that Mr. William Loeb, Jr., be promoted to a portfolio in the Cabinet of the next President meets with the warmest approval at the hands of the president, and thousands of whom feel personally indebted to him INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1908. WHAT HAPPENED IN JU NE --- It is encouraging to the race and a helpful reflection for the future of the Republican party that the Negro contestants are not because they were colored. As a matter of fact, the Taft delegations, which were seated upon absolute proof of their "regulation" in many instances contained more Negroes than white. For example, which were rejected because of the poor showing made in the presentation of their claims. Senator Lodge, a man of the left, did not present, and hailing from the hot-bed of abolition, Massachusetts, said: "The great bulk of the Southern cases, which were still frivolous, of the contests, were utterly frivolous and legal the words have been brought before the committee. Then, on the other hand, the Taft cases, which were presented, from beginning to end, the arguments were legal the words were complete, the evidence was full. As a rule, on the other side, in the Southern cases, no facts were furnished. In order that the committee was compelled to listen to stump speeches that had no bearing on the merits of the cases whatever." Major Arthur Brooks is getting the First Separate Battalion of the District National Guard in shape for the joint maneuvers which are scheduled to begin at Huron High School. Prior to the big events down the river District militia will give a series of regimental drills on the ellipse of the White lot. The First Separate Battalion is announced to appear there for parade and march in June 29, from 6:30 to 7:30 p. m. First Lieut. Benjamin O. Davis, of the Tenth United States Cavalry, has been detailed in the Department as instructor with this battalion, and will co-ordinate the joint army and militia coast defense exercises in July. Lieut. Davis is now on duty at Wilberforce University, as military instructor for the co-ordinated office of the regular army. He is a native of Washington, and began his military service as first lieutenant in the Eighth United States Volunteer Corps of the Tenth Cavalry. In Spanish-American War. He served two years in the ranks of the regular army, and in February, 1901, was appointed second lieutenant of the Tenth Cavalry. In Spanish-American War. He has seen service in the Philippines, and upon his return to this country was stationed for quite a period at Fort Washakie, Wyo., and afterwards at Fort Lewis, Washington. Lieut. Davis was united in marriage a few years ago to Miss Lydia Dickerson, a charming young lady of this city. There will be many social features attached to the same neuquèvers of the District National Guard. It must be said in this connection that the National committee evinced a high order of generosity and a fine spirit of fair play in splitting the vote of Louisiana and the rest of the state and -tans' for the sake of party harmony, and to form a basis of party reorganization in the near future. Two Foraker delegates were seated in Virginia because the race was not a large one, and a call to go out to "white men only". This was a square "thrown-down" for the "illy-witches", and the colored voters will give克服 stand for the threatened principle equality for all elements embodied in the Republican household. The liberal attitude of Mr. Hitchcock, when urged by the certain members of the police, denounced Taft and "dissatisfied Negroes, will not be overlooked. White Republicans of influence grew disgusted with the nightly meetings of the Republican party, its officers, politicians, certain Taft and "custodian" Taft, Roosevelt, and described their as "insolent" and ungrateful, in view of the great service the party had rendered the race, its officers for citizenship, et al. Mr. Hitchcock, however, did of Secretary Taft, vetoed all such suggestions, and made up his mind to stand up for the Negroes as usual, because the Reverend of the black people, and he felt firmly convinced that the thoughtful element of the race would remain loyal to the ticket the heat of battle had cooled off. His keen attention to the active hostility against Taft had been fomented by a few hot-headed feudists, and real leaders like Tyler, Terrell, Ver. Napper, Napier, Anderson, Mollison, Mollison, Busch, Chiles, Booze, Glimer, Lewey, Lee, Morris, Crum, Scott, Grant and others have been able to make it clear that the revolutionaries are the main body of the sensible, patriotic and far-seeing members of the race. The crowd that has been making the fuss is noisy, but not so numerous as their volition and tans' for the sake of belief, and Mr. Hitchcock is wise in pay. ing no attention to them. He vindicates the judgment of those who pronounce him "the new Napoleon of political managers," listening to the leaders of genuine power, powered by the attitude to the race, regardless of the bluff and bluster of seekers after cheap notorily. The Negro masses will give Secretary Taft stanch support throughout the campaign and will be a large factor in securing him a photograph at the polls in November. Mark that! PARIS, ILL. The K. of P. banquet and reception given at the Armory was a brilliant affair. There were several out-of-town guests. the hall was decorated with palms and flies, and the stage was adorned to give a beautiful moonlight effect.

We paintful paintings, which is in keeping with the art system which is one of the features of our public schools. It will be a rare treat to see the teachers to entertain the prominent education and success. The pleasant feeling existing is remarkable in that it extends to the children and parents, which it is hoped will not only to the city pupils, but the district. The epicurian art is being given much consideration. The Kentuckians are not only noted for furnishing that which is beautiful in their paintings, as well. The chefs will be busy during the stay of the teachers, preparing menu suitable for the distinguished guest, but for cooking. There will be dimers, banquets, reception halls, and other beautiful Trips will be made to three beautiful parks, named for the Iroquois, Cherekee and Shawnee Indians, that once rendezvous in contact with the principal thought of the day should attend this meeting, for never before was there assembled such an array of talented educators. Again, in the past the Courier-Journal and Indianapolis Freeman we welcome you. Of all the commencement exercises that have occurred in this city, and they have been many, the Normal class seemed to have been the most well addressed of Prof. S. Q. Johnson was the feature of the exercises. Unprecedence enthusiasm marked the last year of Prof. Johnson's work, and a sense of opportunity to say the last word he did with such intelligence and feeling that it brought tears to the eyes of those who attended the sessions, and a sense of sympathy was manifested by Prof. Johnson has been a teacher in the Normal School for nine years, and during the last board meeting he was removed from the position of President of the High School department, President Geo. Wilson and Superintendent E. H. Mark weer among the speakers, and they deferred to him the work of the work of Mr. Johnson.

The characterize the plan as an attempt to "Jim Crow" to the black. The Kentucky Standard, a leading colored paper of Louisville, is also opposing what it terms "Jim Crowing" the Negro. The resolutions are very pointed and direct. They state that they will not participate in a "Colonizing" meeting in the name of Christ. The colored children made merry at White City last Saturday. Fully 8,000 children and about 9,000 "grown up" were there. It was the first time that colored people were allowed in White City since the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Columbus.

IN THE WOMAN'S WORLD. BY "DOROTHY" This column is devoted to the interests of all women and their organizations also. Address all communications to Dorothy, The Freeman Indianapolis, Ind. THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK. The "end-seat hog" is a nuisance to the general public. If you do not feel inclined to speak to any one, don't speak, but pass on; don't pretend to do so by a nod or jerk of the head; you might injure yourself. Read and learn; find something to talk about besides your neighbor's private business and your own personal affairs. Learning the value of being proficient in some one thing is a big step toward success. WOMEN UNDERTAKERS. Mrs. Carrie Sules and Mrs. Ruth Dabney have established an undertaking establishment at 32 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Both are expert embalmers. NEW OFFICERS ELECTED. The Daughters of Liberty of Topeka, Kans., have elected the following officers: John Lydia Garner; secretary, Emma Robb; assistant, Bertie Scott; chaplain, Susan Tellis; assistant, Rachel Clements; sick committee, Lucinda Jordan; marshal, Coral A NEW PUBLICATION.

Mays, it promises to be to the point, judging current affairs from principle's standpoint and not from fear or fear. Miss Mays is a bright young woman who is a type for her paper, and the early morning hours find her toiling in order to complete her task. She has our best wishes for her success and is trust that the Principle will be a full and share in the uplifting of Negro humanity. POSITION AS NURSE.

Some things the home will attempt to do for its in- To train the inmates in cleanliness, neatness and industry; to surround them with Christian influences; to help especially those who desire to lead better lives; to keep an eye on the over the gate; to help the left gate; to give and comfort to the needy and unfortunate; to help the girls leaving the home to secure good positions. The officers are: Mrs. S. F. Malone, president; Mrs. Van Cleave, vice president; Mrs. A. W. secretary; Mrs. C. W. Campbell, corresponding secretary; Rev. Pope, treasurer. SEWING HELPS. Use double thread for gathering. Use as fine a thread and needle as the garment will allow. When threading your needle make the knot on the end broken from the reel. The rule for frilling is to allow one and a half the length of the edge to be trimmed. When sewing on a button place the knot on the right side of the cloth directly under the sewing of books is a bugbear to many otherwise good needlewomen, yet nothing is more important to the neat appearance of a gown. Hooks and eyes should always be firmly fastened when the knot is not tightly bound and the thing should be carefully fitted over them and caught with an extra stitch or two. If this were well done when done there would be fewer loose and gaping fastenings and make a handsome frock look slovenly. WORRY, SUBJECT TO CONTROL. Take the great curse of American life—worry. How we wrestle with this giant evil, to be overcome by it again and again, to be overcome by it, to be overcome by the small annoyances, the social snubs, the inconsiderate words of friends, the enmity of those who dislike us, seize us, and kill us, and the ill will we are reduced to a mass of quivering and suffering nerves! Suppose, now, the victim of worry should, on retiring to work, be moved to calmly formulate in his mind this or a similar proposition: "To-morrow I shall awake with a free, clear conscience, glad work Providence assigns me. I will therefore be happy and cheerful. I will be master of myself and will know myself more, and understand that I will be happy and will seek to make others happy." What will be the result? This: Worry will soon loosen its hold on the mind, the world will appear in a fresh light, the whole life will move on a new plane. LAWS FOR HOUSEWIVES MADE BY SERVANTS. Far-away New Zealand seems to have a domestic servant problem that undoubtedly among American housewives, as well as those who "work out". Special Agent Harry R. Burrell, in a report published in the dustrial and conciliation act of New Zealand and the arbitration court created to keep peace between employer and employee, says that a house servant organized a service Workers' Union, which, through its secretary, sent circulars to housewives, setting out the claims that the house servant would the hope that their reasonableness would be acknowledged by signing the agreements accompanying the circular letters, which informed those concessions the unpleasantness of appearing personally or by agent before the conciliation board or arbitration court." WORK DAYS AND HOURS. Following are among the "claims" set forth in the report. "The week's work shall consist of sixty-eight hours, to be divided as follows: cept holidays, at 6:30 o'clock, and cease on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p. m., with three intervals of one-half hour each for meals and one hour interval in the afternoon of each day. "On Thursdays work shall cease at 2 p. m., with two intervals of one-half hour each for meals, on Sundays work shall cease at 2 p. m., with two intervals of half an hour each for meals, but domestics shall, if required, prepare tea between the hours of 6:30 p. m., on alternate Sundays. "On Wednesdays work shall cease at 8 p. m., with three intervals of half an hour each for meals and one hour interval in the afternoon. "On Sundays two hours shall be allowed to attend church in the morning. EXTRA PAY FOR HOLIDAYS. "Christmas day, Boxing day, New Year's day, King's birthday, Prince of Wales' birthday, Anniversary day, Easter holiday, and all statutory holidays shall be deemed to be holidays, and work done on those days shall be paid for at the rate of 1 shilling (24 cents) an hour. Domestics shall be in every evening at 10 p. m., except Thursday, and on that night at 12 p. m." TAKING CARE OF THE FEET. To keep the feet in good condition it is necessary to bathe them three times a day, and then wash them every week. If they perspire a great deal, dissolve borax in the water, wash them thoroughly, keeping them in the water fifteen minutes, and then wash every night before retiring. Dust the morning with a powder composed of four parts talcum powder and one part borax acid, thoroughly mixed. This checks the addition and adds greatly to one's comfort. Cornice are very painful, and, when they puncture a pumice stone. If of long standing, make a poultice by soaking light bread in vinegar five minutes and bind it to the cornice the morning, and warm water to the cornice and the corn will be easy to remove. Wearing one pair of shoes in the morning and another in the evening is more restful to tired feet than the salt water bath. This is prepared by adding a tablespoonful of coarse salt to a quart of warm water. After they are removed, the water, wipe dry with a coarse towel. HUSBANDS THE BEST HOBBIES FOR WOMEN. "The best hobby a woman can have is her hubby." With this sentiment as the keynote of her business, Mrs. Laura Winghoffy Greene opened the annual May breakfast tendered recently by the Chicago Social Economics Club to the women's clubs of Illinois. The annual breakfast, which is designed to bring club women of all sorts into a closer relationship, was given at the Grand Pacific Hotel, and upward of 700 delegates from all over the State were in attendance. "Hobbles" was the topic assigned for the three-minute speakers, who were about equal in number of the clubs represented, the women, and the hobbles" about everything from woman suffrage to domestic gardening was touched upon. MAN IS MERELY USEFUL. Man, "mere man," of which desplied and downtrodden race only two representants, and undeserved prominence from nearly all of the speakers, who held that he was a convenient piece of furniture about a beautifully useful about "moving day," early in May. In opening the series of talks, Mrs. Greene presented to the notice of the club the flowers in flowers, done in flowers, and announced that it would be at the disposal of the delegates, running, meeting over to the club representatives Mrs. Greene, "Women here astride a hobby, Tell us honest, 'fess like Bobby, Tell us what your hobby is; For, by the good Lord that made us, Don't you think you can evade us, For what's one is all our biz." FROM STOMACH TO SOUL The first hobby of the afternoon was presented by Mrs. George Watkins, president of the Federation of Women's Club for Illinois. Her topic, "The Training of the Animal Man," appropriately had to do with the nutritive value of foods and their appetizing preparation. The old-time method of appealing to the soul of man by the stomach was defended by the speaker as being homely but nevertheless efficacious system. The president of the Indiana Federation was the second speaker, and discussed the educational work that is being helped by the women of the country. She held that the proper instruction of brides in the management of husbands was one of the principal objects of the club movement, and that such hints had much to do with the domestic destiny of the home. Miss Willa Smith, the assistant manager of the Topeka Plaindealer, who is spending some time at Denver for her health, is much improved. Mrs. Nora Wells Shepherd read a paper on "Negro Women in Club Work," at the recent meeting of the Iowa State Federation of Women's Clubs, which was well received. Miss Eliza A. Turner, granddaughter of Bishop Henry M. Turner, the assistant editor of the Voice of the People, was marshal to Judge M. Leonard Frazier, of New York. They will go abroad in a few weeks. A MASTERFUL ADDRESS Delivered by Dr. J. M. Waldron Before "Citadel" Club. WILMINGTON, Del., May 29—Under the auspices of the "Citadel," a Negro political organization of Delaware, Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, of Washington, presidential National Negro American political League, and of an equally forceful address upon "Why the Negro should be Independent in Politics." The address was delivered to an audience of five or six hundred of the most representative Negro leaders, and again and again every utterance of the speaker with reference to Senator Joseph B. Foraker and his bill for the reinstatement of the discharged Negro soldiers and his strong and many plea for the rights of Negro men. Dr. Waldron defended the right of the Negro to bolt the Republican Party if that party deserted its basis principles, and in 1911 he called for the Negro complains—and justly so—of the treatment he receives in this country. he does not use all the power in his possession to protest. This is especially true of the political power which still remains in the Negro. He says that the number of the Negroes in the Southern States 25 years ago voted as independents, or sided with the Democrats, the colony government to have been discharged by law, the government. solid black Republican vote in the South is largely responsible for the solid Democratic vote of the South. "The threat by the Republican Party to reduce the representation in the lectoral college and in Congress of those Southern States that it have disfranchised the Negro is meeting with indifference by the race throughout the country, for the colored people would not be benefitted in the least by such reduction. The race, everywhere in America is insisting upon a fair and impartial enforcement of the Constitution, and especially, the fifteenth amendment. This amendment guarantees to the Negro the right of the franchise, and its abandonment by the Republican Party has done more than anything else—except the discharge of the Negro soldiers of the 25th Infantry—to call the attention of the colored people of the entire country to the importance of doing all in their power to have the Republican Party make a live issue of the enforcement of the fifteenth amendment." Continuing, the speaker said, "Unless this is done, the right of the colored people in the Northern and Western States to vote is not guaranteed. It is only a step from the abandonment of the 15th amendment to its repeal." He insisted "The colored people of the country could easily improve their political status by voting." He presided over the balance of power in New York, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland, West Virginia, and Delaware, and no party can hope to win the presidency or be incarcerated action on the part of the Negro voters in those States will enable the race to carry the coming presidential election whichever way they wish." He said he would be independent in politics in a vigorous and logical speech and gave several strong reasons why he should not blindly obey the behests of the Republican party. "The Republican party has not been so independent," he said, "for in this, as in no other way, would the race be in position to vote for the best men and measures of any and all races." He said he would be selfless with the best white people in every section of America. By being independent in politics, he would be able to secure from the dominant party ample protection for his race, and the largest possible recognition of his candidacy. "Through political independence the Negro could easily compass the defeat of the dominant party, should that party be defeated, and would be posed to the Constitution. In a Republic like the United States, an occasional change in parties is absolutely necessary, in order to insure the rights of the whole country. It is important to corruption and graft. The South needs nothing so much just now as a strong, opposing political party, and if the few colored people who are allowed to vote in the South, would be disaffection in the Democratic party in the South to enable the Republicans to build up a party in the South sufficient to defeat the Democrats of the South once in He concluded with the statement that the disfranchisement amendments of the Senate would not be reused until the States would be reused. West power and used all of their political power to bring about this result, and made it appear elsewhere on a fair and impartial enforcement of the Constitution and especially the war amendments. He reiterated his views on the Constitution and a full and fair enforcement of the Constitution they were not only protecting the Negro, but safeguarding the rights and benefits of the Negro. He advised the Negroes to vote for no candidate for Congress, or for the Presidency, who refused to pledge himself before the election to support the Democratic statement of the discharged Negro soldiers.

INDIANA POLISHING One Pound Boxes 25 cts., at Druggists and Dealers This circular, describing the Magic Shampoo Drier and Hair Straightener, should appeal to every lady who takes pride in having a beautiful head of hair. The Shampoo Hair Drier is a toilet article that, when once used, becomes indispensable to a lady's toilet paraphernalia. We are in possession of hundreds of letters from ladies who inform us that they would not attempt to arrange their hair without it, since it being had an opportunity to test its merits. It will straighten only hair without injury to the hair or scalp. Its use will increase the growth of the hair, by keeping the scalp free from dust, dandruff and grease. In many instances the hair is allowed to go too long unwashed or account of the time required in drying and the dampness contracting the hair, but with our Drier, moderately heated, as you would a curling iron, the hair can be dried quickly and stranded nicely, thereby making it look beautiful and natural in appearance. This toilet article is as much a necessity to a lady having straight hair as it is to one whose hair is curly, for it is an indisputable fact that every lady should bathe the hair at regular intervals, and when the long-time drying process is eliminated she will not hesitate as much to keep the scalp and hair clean by bathing.

The use of the "Drier, properly dried hair," is essential for straight hair, but to curly hair it will leave the beautiful wave found in hair that is straight. The many so-called Hair straighteners upon the market, which are available in unsightly appearance, have made ladies feel sensitive and suspicious of all such devices, but from the many testimonials received from satisfied users, we can with confidence say that satisfaction to any one following directions. The "Drier" has been pronounced patent experts to be the most practical hair trier and straightener upon a market, combined with extraordinary merit. It should have a ready sale everywhere. And no lady need be enmured or overseen in dequanting any other lady of its merits, it will *Make Good* whenever it is used. The Shampoo Drier does not mat the hair down to the head, as it is usually done with the old style straightener, but its use leaves it fluffy and in waves. Each lady can help to improve the looks of every other lady, if one will speak of the merits of the Magic Shampoo Hair Drier.

But under her sudden pallor he was taking fright again, and he began to bolster up his courage with bluster and noise as usual. "How all you like," he jeered. "It won't alter matters or square accounts with Plank. What are you staring at? Do you suppose I'm not sorry? Do you fancy I don't know what a fool I've been? What are you turning white for? What"— "How much have you?"— She choked, then, resolutely, "How much have you—taken?" "Taken!" he broke out with an oath. "What do you mean? I've borrowed about $20,000. Now yelp! Eh? What? No jeeps? Probably some weeps then. Turn 'em on and run dry. I'll wait." And he managed to cross one bulky leg over the other and lean back, affecting resignation, while Leila, bolt upright in her low chair, every curved outline rigid under the flowing silken wrap, stared at him as though stunned. "Well, we're good for it, aren't we?" he said threateningly. "If he's going to turn ugly about it, here's the house?" "My-house?" "Yes, your house! I suppose you'd rather raise something on the house than have the thing come out in the papers." "Do you think so?" she asked, starting into his bloodshot eyes. "Yes I do. I'm sure of it." "You are wrong." "You mean that you are not inclined to stand by me," he demanded. "Yes I mean that." "You don't intend to help me out?" "I do not intend to—not this time." He began to show his big teeth and that nervous snickering "tick" twitched his upper lip. "How about the divorce courts?" he answered. "Do you want to figure in them with Plank?" "I don't want to," she said steadily. "Just you cannot frighten me by that threat." "Oh! Can't frighten you! Perhaps you think you'll marry Plank when I get a decree? Do you? Well, you won't for several reasons. First, because I'll name other cororespondents and that will make Plank sick; second, because Plank wants to marry somebody else and I'm able to assist him. So where do you come out in the shuffle?" "I don't know," she said under her breath and rested her head against the back of the chair, as though suddenly flucked. "Well. I know. You'll come out uninjured, and you know it," said Morrimer, gazing intently at her. "Look here, Lella. I didn't come here to threaten you. I'm no blackmaller. I'm no criminal. I'm simply a decent sort of a man, who is pretty badly scared over what he's done in a moment of temptation. You know I had no thought of anything except to borrow enough on my I O U's to make a killing at Burbank's. I had to show them something big, so I filled in that check, not meaning to use it, and before I knew it I'd indorsed it and was plunging against it. Then they stacked everything on me—by God, they did, and if I had not been in the condition I was in I'd have stopped payment. But it was too late when I realized what I was against, Lella, you know I'm not a bad man at heart. Can't you help a fellow? His manner, completely changed, had become the resentful and freetful appeal of the victim of plot and circumstance. All the savage brutality had been eliminated. The sneer, the truculent attempts to browbeat, the pitwagger, the cynical justification, all were gone. It was really the man himself now, normally scared and repentant; the frightened, overfed pensioner on his wife's bounty, not the human beast maddened by fear and dissipation, half stunned, half panic stricken, driven by sheer terror into a role which even he shrank from—had shrunk from all these years. For, leech and parasite that he was, Timmer, however much the dirty acquisition of money might tempt him in theory, had not yet brought himself to the point of attempting the practice, even when in sorest straits and bitterest need. He didn't want to do it. He wished to get along without it, partly because of native inertia and an aversion to the mental nimbleness that he would be required to show as a lawbreaker, partly because the word "blackmail" stood for what he did not dare suggest that he had come to, even to himself. His distaste was genuine. There were certain things which he didn't want to commit, and extortion was one of them. He could at a pinch lie to his wife or try to scare her into giving him money. He could when necessary "borrow" from such men as Plank, but he had never cheated at cards, and he had never attempted to blackmail anybody except his wife—which, of course, was purely a family matter and concerned nobody else. His policy of alternately frightening, dragooning and supplicating Lella had carried him so far, and though it was true that this was a more serious situation than he had ever yet faced he was convinced that his wife would pull him out somehow, and how that was to be accomplished he did not very much care as long as he was pulled out safely. "What this household requires," he said, "is economy." He spread his legs, denting the Aubusson carpet with his boot heels, and glanced askance at his wife. "Economy," he repeated, furtively wetting his lips with a heavily coated tongue, "that's the true solution. Economical administration in domestic matters. Retrenchment, Lella, retrenchment. Fewer folderols." Lella's head was lowered. He could not see her expression, but he had always been confident of his ability to talk himself out of trouble, so he ram- L. L. Leila Mortimer. bled on in pretense of camaraderie currying favor, as he believed, ingratiating himself with the coarse bluntness that served him among some men, even among some women. "We'll fix it somehow," he said reassuringly. "Don't you worry, Leila. I've confidence in you, little girl. You've got me out of sticky messes before, eh? Well, we've weathered a few, haven't we?" Even the horrible parody on wedded loyalty left her silent, unmoved, dark eyes brooding, and he began to grow a little restless and anxious as his jocularity increased without a movement in either response or aversion from his wife. "You needn't be scared if I'm not," he said reproachfully. "The house is worth two hundred and fifty thousand and there's only fifty on it now. If that fat Dutch skinflint, Plank, shows his tusks we can clap on another fifty." And as she made no sound or movement in reply: "As far as Plank goes, haven't I done enough for him to square it? What have we ever got out of him except a thousand or two now and then when the cards went against me? If I took it, it was practically what he owes me. And if he thinks it's too much—look here, Lella, THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER I've a trick up my sleeve. I can make good any time I wish to. I'm in a position to marry that man to the girl he's mad about—stark raving mad." Mrs. Maximus. Mrs. Mortimer slowly raised her head and looked at her husband. "Leroy, are you mad?" "I! Not much!" he exclaimed gleefully. "I can make him the husband of the most run after girl in New York—if I want to. And at the same time I can puncture the most arrogant, the most cold blooded, selfish, purse proud, inflated nincompoop that ever sat at the head of a directors' table. O-ho! Now you're staring, Lella. I can do it. I can make good. What are you worrying about? Why, I've got a hundred ways to square that check, and each separate way is a winner." He rose, shook out the creases in his trousers and adjusted the squat gold fob which ornamented his protruding waistcoat. "So you'll fix it, won't you, Lella?" he said, apparently oblivious that he had expressed himself as able to adjust the matter in a hundred equally edifying and satisfactory manners. She did not answer. He lingered a moment at the door, looking back with an ingratiating leer, but she paid him no attention and he took himself off, confident that her sulkiness could not result in anything unpleasant to anybody except herself. Nor did it, as far as he could see. The days brought no noticeable change in his wife's demeanor toward him. Plank, when he met him, was civil enough, though it did occur to Mortimer that he saw very little of Plank in these days. "Ungrateful beggar," he thought bitterly. "He's toadying to Belwether now. I can't do anything more for him, so I don't interest him." And for awhile he wore either a truculent, aggrieved air in Plank's presence or the meek demeanor of a martyr, sentimentally misunderstood, but patient under the affliction. (Continued next week.) 10TH ANNUAL CONVENTION 10TH ANNUAL CONVENTION Of Head and Side Waiters - Officers Elected, Banquet Served. By W. FORREST COZART. The tenth annual convention of the head and side waiters, which was held in Fitzgerald Airport Tuesday, May 26-29, had an interesting meeting, although the association and its annual conventions are mere shadows of the association in its early career. Speaking of its first evening session, the Sea Side Press says: Prayer by R. F. Trusty, Mayor Franklin P. Stoy was then introduced by W. H. Simson of Virginia. The Mayor extended the enclosure, which he said he owed to association as well as any who came. He also said the hotel proprietors realized the truth of the enclosure, and needed them more than did this city. He also spoke very highly of the association for their good service which helped to save the city from a spanding, J. M. Butler, of this city, said the words of the Mayor were of truthfulness and honestness, and no other city had the honor of being so well favored by the city. He was also a quette, President of the Hotel Mens' Association, made a brilliant address on the disadvantages our men had to go through in the city, and gro. While he had always found them gentlemen, one of his great pleasures was to go to a base ball game given by colored players, and the proprietor the required service without the support of the waiter man; and should trouble amuse him would be with you. Mr. Marquette further intimated that the chefs and housekeepers must be respectful (because they are white.) They were also very humble and harmonious reign and success will be sure. W. F. Cozart, founder of the organization, made an instructive address, saying, "We were always a teacher, water a school and a teacher's room school. All who heard him were greatly edited." M. Nicholas then gave a brief talk, asking that the women help the men do their duty. It seems that the association, its influence and popularity has narrowed down to New York, where a few supporters here and there. The Eastern clique which has been running the association, some time ago cut loose from the group, and now cals that one existed in such cities as Washington, D. C.; Pittsburg, Pa.; Cleveland, Toledo; Columbus, Cincinnati and St. Louis; Louisville, cago, Ill.; Louisville, Ky.; Nassville, Memphis and Chattanooga, Tenn.; Atlanta, Ga.; Birmingham and Mobile, Ala.; Nashville, Tenn.; San Antonio, Texas; Denver, Colo.; Salt Lake City, Utah; Omaha, Neb.; St. Paul Minn., and many other Western and Southwestern cities and other the association is a dead end. In the Eastern division, Philadelphia and Boston locals are run independent of the National, although at one time the association was the above slides were loyalty supporting the National. The question now arises, what has caused this decline? The answer to the question is the lack of training, supervision, officiance and especially for president and secretary. For these positions men with push and energy and qualification should have been elected. The association has been allowed to become a board of presidents and presidents as well as to the head and side waiters. The admission of the side waiters has not helped very much because, after admitting and being dismissed against and the system was discriminated representation was put in vogue. To this the average waiter objects, and rightly so, for God knows that the average side waiter is far more intelligent than the average barber. It is believed and hoped, however, that the newly-elected officers will readily build up the association as they are men of worth, but they have an up-hill fight, and the average side waiter will be to steer clear of the old ring. The newly-elected officers are: President, Joseph T. Lee, Hotel Chamberlain, Fortress Monroe Pa., and Grand Union President, Stephen Sprague Pa., president, Andrew I. Woodlyn, Hotel Chelsea, Atlantic City, N. J.; second vice president, James L. Dickerson, Harvey's, Washington, N. Y.; third vice president, Washington, Green, Reverend Ford, conn.; secretary, J. M. Butler, Atlantic City, N. J.; treasurer, Cornelius Lam, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Members of the board of Somerset, New York City, William Henry, N. Y., chairman; C. Randolph, Mohawk Hotel, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Fred Allen, Royal Poincaré Hotel, Palm Beach, FL., and United States Hospital, Curtail, Union League Club, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Berkley C. Wailer, New York City; Joseph Thorne, Atlantic City, N. J.; Edward Huntley, North Carolina, Charles Brooklyn, N. Y.; Edward Schanks, Port-and Hotel, New York City; L. D. Houston, Peninsular Hotel, Searight, N. J., New York City, was selected as the outgoing president. The hotel was served in Fitz- gerald's beautiful cafe. The dining room was profusely decorated for the occasion, and the table was set up in the form of a vase of flowers and other floral decorations, combined with an elegant bill-o-fare, with so many palatable dishes pre-arranged by de Quisine, and so artistically served by the chef. The fairest damsels that ever served mortal man, gladdened the hearts of the diners and fed them to raise their voices in voluptuous singing. "He's a Jolly Good Fellow," and "Gog Be With You Until We Meet Again." The menu was as follows: MENU. Manhattan cocktails, "Ye Bay State." Maurice River Coves, "The Grand Atlantic." Cream of Cherrystone Clams, "The St. Charles." Celery, Olives, Raddishes, Almonds. Peach of Delaware Shad Roe, Sauce, "The Chelsea." Cucumbers, French Dressing. Broiled Spring Chicken, Water Cress, "Royal Palace." Paraguas Potatoes, Asparagus Tips, New Peas. National Punch, "The Isleworth." Waldorf Salad ensurprise, "The Gladstone." Cream and Requeort Cheese. Toasted Bent Water Crackers. Vanilla Ice Cream, Assorted Fancy Cakes. Fresh Strawberries, "The Loraine." Cigars and Caddon Hall. Cigars and Cigarillos. HOTEL NOTES. Butte City, Mont., has three good hotels, as follows: Finlin, Thornton and Butte Hotel. Colored waiters are in demand out there just now. Mr. J. Hamilton Brooks, of the Somerset Hotel, New York, will be in charge at the Fort William Henry Hotel, Lake George, this summer. Mr. Chas. Saunders is now headwaiter at the Nelson Hotel, New York. J. Mr. Saunders was formerly second waiter at the Chelsea Hotel in that city. The Democratic National convention will meet in Denver, Col., July 10, and there will be a hot time in the old town that day, and the waiters will get theirs. Mr. M. D. Fry, formerly second waiter at the Nelson Hotel, Rockford, Ill., and late of the Illinois Hotel, Bloomington, Ill., is now headwaiter in a cafe at Fairmount Park, Kansas City, Mo. The white waitresses employed at the Park Hotel, St. Louis, Mo., struck for the job, and in fact, refused the cooks to join them. Another reason why waitresses should not be employed. W. Forrest Cozart, who was in charge of the Cliff House last season, and later opened the New Southland Hotel, at Dalby Lake, now at the new million dollar hotel at Cap May, N. J., the Hotel Cape May. Mr. H. D. Miller, ex-secretary of the Head and Side Waiters' Association, has been appointed third waiter at the Royal Palace Hotel, Atlantic City, N. J., by H. Blenheim, and white boys will succeed the eighty-five girls employed in that hotel since they succeeded the colored boys a year and a half ago. There are about 2,000 colored waitresses employed in the small hotels and boarding houses to think that colored girls can't give quick and accurate service should visit Atlantic City once. Mr. Frank Griffin, one of the leading New headwaiters, and a prominent member of the National Association of Head and Side Waiters, will be in charge of the hotel, Marransett Pier, N. J., this season. It is reported on good authority that Mr. S. A. Williams will not be head-waiter at the roof garden of the Wayne that he will not return. It is also stated that he will not return to the Park at Hot Springs, Ark., this fall. 'Smatter, pop? Mr. A. S. Goudy will be headwaiter at the Gladstone, and Mr. Thos. F. James will be headwaiter at the Imperial Hotel. Maragansett Vier. R. L. this season. The men are to come on and the friends expect to see them make good this season. It must have been a sad day for the employees at the Midland Hotel, Kansas City, when that famous old hostelry closed. Several employees, some of whom had been the hotel staff for years, shed tears they bid the old home good-bye. Mr. D. Girley, a wellknown side waiter in Buffalo, Philadelphia and other cities, goes to Florida with F. Allen, and also to Saratoga Springs. Mr. Girley is not instantiating in Atlantic City, N. J., and also best regards to old friends in Memphis. Mr. John O'Donnell (white), for many years headwaiter at the Chicago Beach Hotel, and formerly headwaiter at the O'Hare, and Gibson House, at Cleveland. O'Hare was a headwaiter at Chicago and retired as headwaiter at the Beach to become proprietor. At last San Antonio, Tex. is to have a new modern hotel, and it will be about seven stories high and will be run on both plans. The hotel is to be ready by January, 1909, and has been leased by Mr. Soyleign, proprietor of the Hotel Suphur, at San Antonio. The many friends of Geo. Banks, the efficient second waiter at the Royal Ponzi Hotel, know that he has completely recovered from the six weeks' illness, which attacked him while in Florida the past winter. Mr. Banks attended the Head Walters' Convention at Atlantic City recently. It goes without saying that every waiter in Chicago was a full-fledged Republican during the National convention and worked that end of it for all it was worth. TheAME was a dealer during the Democratic convention, at which time Republicans will be hard to find. The head and side waiters went on record as opposed to Roosevelt and Taft until those important dignitaries gave the first public address of colored voters say amen. The farsighted politician who puts his ear to the ground, will no doubt hear a strange, but distinctive rumbling. Mr. James Crawford, who served as waiter at the Cliff House, Manitou, Col., and at the White House, among the fair sex of the West, is at present located at the Oliver Hotel, South Bend, Ind. Mr. Crawford contemplates spending the summer at Atlantic City or some other seacoast resort. The hotels and waiters have been reaping the benefits of the Republican National convention. The business men of Chicago paid $100,000 for the convention, and it was a good bargain at that. But the men who hustle for the nominee, also got theirs. Hurrah for the nominee. The famous old Burnett House, at Cincinnati, famous for the number of headwaiters employed since Mr. O'Donnell relied on the person of Mr. R. Pannell. Mr. Pannell was long an officer at the Homestead, Hot Springs, Va., and a member of the Hat and Side Walters National Association. Mr. Pannell is also a shorthand writer. Mr. C. H. Mason is now headwaiter at the Cathorn Hotel, Mobile, Ala., where he succeeded Mr. N. H. Slingey for the summer season. Mr. Mason was formerly at the Louisville Hotel, Louisville, where he was engaged as headwaiter at the Broadwater Hotel, at Helena, Mont. The editor wishes Mr. Mason success at the Cathorn. As stated in these columns some weeks ago, Mr. N. H. Smiley, well known as the "Broadwater Man," was the cage. Superior Hotel, West Superior, Wis. and several other first-class hotels, is now headwaiter at the Cliff House, Manitou. It has two seasons as headwaiter at the Cliff same season, and said that Mr. Smiley is quite a diplomat, and wears a broad smile that always captives the guest. The white waitresses employed at the West Baden Hotel, West Baden, Ind., deserve for an increase of three dollars per month, same season, that was forced to pay the same. A few years ago the colored waiters employed at the Cliff Hotel that time went out on a strike, being led by the hostess had nothing to lose. As a result of that strike waitresses were put in their places. We hope that history is now ready to repeat itself. Mr. Thomas Taggart, proprietor of the Prince Lick Hotel, French Lick Springs, Ind., is the chairman of the Democratic National committee. Mr. Taggart was for many years headwaiter at the Grand Hotel, at Indianapolis, during the war, be the best friend in the hotel business of colored employees. The colored people appreciated of same by electing him Mayor three successive terms, although Indianapolis is a Republican city. The National Manufacturing and Supply Company, a private enterprise, floated by some of the late officers of the Head Side waiters, at Atlantic City, N. J., has held the position an expedition two years. While the enterprise was a legitimate one, it is unfortunate that the men elected to promote the association entered into a private enterprise and seemed to use the business and energy to promote a private business at the expense of those whom they were elected to serve. Mr. W. M. Murray, a murray known Western white headwaiter, who has made a specialty of working colored waiters, is now headwaiter at the Chicago Beach Hotel, at Chicago. It was at this hotel that Mr. Murray was born, so well known as a dining room commander. Mr. Murray was formerly at the Hotel Worth, Ft. Worth, Tex., and a club at Ft. Auburn. He was headwaiter at the Cadillac, Detroit, Mich. He resigned there to become headwaiter at the new Rome Hotel, at Omaha, Neb. One of the Chicago hotels has established a rule to pay waiters a salary on the merit plan. The longer the waiter remains in the service the more salary he receives, the department and continuing service being the basis in his pay. This is a good plan, and, if adopted in general by the hotels, will do much to prevent the constant changing of employees from one another, the headwright the editor headwright the editor headwright approves the headwright THE FREEMAN furnishes more hotel news to its readers than any other race paper.

At the time of going to press the great National Republican convention is in session, and the nomination of Secretary Taff on an early ballot, not, however, without opening many wounds and causing serious dissatisfaction among the campaign. But now the nomination is made, it is our plain duty as loyal Republicans to let bygones be bygones, and we are not to be ber. There is no denying the fact that 75 per cent. of us were opposed to Secretary Taff in the nomination, but now we are all for the nominee, it matters not who he may be. A correspondent now traveling in India is giving interesting news of the hotels of that country, where curries are the culinary delicacy, the correspondent says, "looks upon the white cook is known as the 'Khan-samah,' and in the cities of Bombay, Calcutta and Lahore the Khan-samah is the chief cook," the correspondent says, "looks upon the white cook is natural prey." Asparagus is a ingredient of the delicacies of the East Indian market, consecrated rice, which makes it luxurious enjoyed only by the rich. Apples, owing to their scarcity, are also luxuries. as pastry is rich in sugar, which makes it luxurious. The chief meat is fowl, which is retailed at about 8 cents and usually cooked with curries and red pepper. Eggs are served with dinner and supper and boiled for breakfast (chotta hazri), which is served very early. Eggs sell two for one cent. Beef is almost unknown, but fish is pliantain and pineapples are the chief fruit. Race Gleanings Sidney Allen and Wilson Brown, contractors, of Red Bank, N.

The decision was handed down by the Supreme Court. The School Board was appointed by the Council, so the members of the Council were held responsible. Bibb won the case recently, but his children are now grown. Why not invest a part of your earnings in a good proposition?

SATURDAY, JUNE 20,1908. The programs were great; so were the prices. And suppose Representative Helfin seconds the nominating speech of Mr. Bryan, would that be satisfactory to those that are in for a row? Some autumn days, but it is poor wind that does not blow somebody good. Some one enjoys these delightful sea breezes we are getting. Mayor Bookwalter is congratulated on his ascent into great, big politics. He always had the making in him. Now look out for him in the future. The Japanese would not count for much were it not for their ingenuity. What is conceded them has been won. The Negroes might profit by the example. There is no reason why more purely Negro communities should not flourish in America. Our country is particularly favorable to such opportunities. Owing to what has transpired at Chicago the question of reduction of Southern representation in Congress threatens to break out fresh at the next assembling of that body. Mr. Gurley Brewer, of the Indianapolis centingent of colored men, was heard from. He was seen and heard making a noise for Vice-President Fairbanks, showing no mercy to Taft. Indianapolis did not get the National Republican Convention, but it got something just as good—it got the Thirty-second National Saengerfest des Nord-Amerikanischen Saengerbundes. Now isn't dasz sehr gut? An industrial association is one of the new moves contemplated. The community idea is a part of the scheme. A cheerful mood of the kind would mean respect in two ways—from the white people, among the Negroes. "Blind Tom" was reported dead at the Jamestown flood, after which a Negro woman identified a body as the wizard of the planoforte, but he was yet in the flesh. Some one went so far as to erect a small monument over the remains on which was inscribed the name of Wiggins, "Blind Tom's" real name. The Western Association of Negro Editors put themselves on record with the advanced race thought of the day. They especially commended the work of Booker T. Washington, Bishop Abram Grant and Register Vernon. The school, the church and the arena of politics are noted at their best. Michigan and Wisconsin are about to declare legal war over a strip of territory claimed by either state. The disputed territory has been under the jurisdiction of Wisconsin since 1846. It makes a fine question from a legal standpoint. The question of priority of claim or squatter sovereignty will be battled out in the highest court in the land. Secretary Taft gave an audience recently to a delegation representing the Negro posts of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the District of Columbia, who asked that a site be reserved in the national cemetery at Arlington for the erection of a suitable monument in special commemoration of the Negro dead of the civil war. The decision in the matter is not known at this time. The significance is this friendly call, while many Negroes at Chicago were protesting most vigorously against all things Taftish. Vice-President Fairbanks took it easy enough during the great hubbub in Chicago incident to the selection for President. At the request of the managers of the Y. W. C. A. he took part in the ceremonies of the cornerstone laying last Sunday of the building being erected by that organization. Among the things he said was: "The community which takes thought of the welfare of both the young men and the young women concerns itself with its best interests. It matters not how imposing the material evidence of our greatness may be, we are but mean and miserable if the great body of our people are not sound in those finer and gentler qualities which grace the most advanced civilization." Indianapolis was rigged out in festal attire this week, appearing as she never has appeared before. The occasion was the Thirty-second National --- Sangerfest of the North American Singing Bands. Decoration everywhere; flags, streamers and even pretentious designs, welcome the singers and the thousands of strangers that came to see and to hear. Long since thousands of Indianapolis singers had been rehearsing choruses to be sung in co-operation with the "meister" singers from all parts of the country. Among these were some artists of world-wide reputations, including Walter Damrosch, the renowned welder of the baton; Mme. Schuman-Heink, Mme. Marie Rarepold, David Bispham and Adolph Muehlman. The festival was held in the splendid new auditorium building recently erected at the State Fair Grounds, where thousands were delighted with the great musical demonstration. A New York paper suggests a novel use for pickaninnies. It describes a scene as follows: "Their greedy eyes eagerly fixed on two plump little pickaninnies, the crocodiles and alligators in the New York Zoological Garden were decoyed from their winter quarters in the reptile house to the cool and shady tank just outside the building. "It was a keeper's idea to bait the saurians with pickaninnies, knowing their epicurean fondness for the black man. So when two small colored children happened to drift through the reptile house among the throng of visitors he pressed them into service. "The two crocodiles and all but four of the twenty-five alligators wobbled out as quickly as they could after the ebony mites who darted around the tank just as the pursuing monsters fell with grunts of chagrin into the water, disappointed at not getting their prey." It is thought that the saurians are not averse to a bit of human food at times. It is not known that they draw the color line; we rather think the good, rich, luscious, fruitful look of the little Negro boys were more tempting morsels than little white boys. If such be the case, some consideration is due the carnivorous reptiles for their discrimination based merely on taste. Don't know that there should be a sacrifice simply to appease the appetites of the living toys of the New York Zoological Garden, since there are so many other ways in which the pickaninies might be employed. HOT TIMES IN CHICAGO. Something has been doing in Chicago in Negro political circles. What has happened there within the last few weeks is no more than what has been anticipated by The Freeman. How could conditions have been very much different? When the Negroes insisted on breaking with the administration over an incident in army affairs, taking the President to task, and in a manner not calculated to inspire respect, what could have been the consequence? It was the natural thing for the government to stand "together," and on the same theory as applied to great concerns and institutions. This does not deny the right of appeal, the praying for consideration, redress and the rest of it, but which should be of the utmost respectability—the polls are the place for war! Nothing short of a spectacle has been made out of the race incident to the soldier business. Some racial traits have been developed, and which we dare say were the unlooked for, the unexpected. Whatever we may think of that, we all know by this time that the question has not been without influence in the contest for nomination for the presidency. And if the threatened battle comes off, supporting Democracy as a matter of revenge, it may as well be put down that some form of retaliation will be forthcoming. But, happily, the great mass of Negroes are undisturbed. It is those on the tiptop surface that seem wrought up in the matter, and more than likely the fishes and loaves are some part of it. The following observation in the Chicago Tribune will give some idea of the situation. Perhaps in instances the report is colored in order to make it good and readable, yet in the main the story may be credited. It was in part: Dr. Cress Sounds War Cry. The outburst was started by Dr. Henry C. Cress, a Chicago physician, and while its spirit was carried along by those who followed him, it was he who shouted the war cry of black man against black man. After branding the Negro office-holders in the Southern delegations as "the bread brigade," and declaring that none of them had influence with the race as a whole, he shouted: "We must mark those men!" "They are marked," cried some one in the audience. "They are? Good," the speaker replied. "The men who betray their race must pay the penalty with their lives. We must organize. We must have a Ku-Klux Klan!" Howls of approval answered him. "We are looking for men. If we call you, will you answer?" he asked. "If we call you at midnight, will you come?" "Yes, I will! I will!" came scattered replies. "If we call you morning, noon or night you must come," he continued. "There's only one place worse than this, and if you don't wake up that place will be transferred here. It is here now. You know what General Sherman said about war? This is war. "Suppose I get killed. I don't care if it will help the cause of the black man's freedom. Do you remember how Moses threw aside his royal ring, forgot his royal foster parents and struck for the freedom of Israel? Can't you do it?" Again, near the close of the meeting, Dr. Cress showed signs of admitting the possibility of violence as the outcome of the present situation. "We're going to make tomorrow night," he declared. "Bring every man you can to the meeting. We are going to make a lot of Negroes from the saloon districts of the South, who have been brought in here to aid Taft, leave town. We aren't going to drive them out. We'll make them want to leave." Dr. E. L. Gillam, a Methodist preacher of Cleveland, after denouncing the "unrighteous course of the nation," declared that "extraordinary conditions require extraordinary meas American every- pre- singers that since had sung "hisister" country, lists of war Wall- elder Heink, and pham was present. On the 10th of this month the Compton House was sold to Mr. Louis Wood and will hereafter be known as the Hotel Woods. The Jubilee Singers, who have been rehearing for four weeks at the Central School, will be readied so high in the bottoms last Thursday that nearly every one had to move out. The water was to the second floor before one of our colored brethren would give up. It was still high, but has begun to go down. Lewis Woods left for Chicago last Sunday night to attend the convention. Frank Neil, J. D. Brown, Bradford, Lenore, Vaughn, Lewis Hall, Thomas, the three Johnson and several others of the old Baltimore matters now working at the Baltimore Hotel. SPRINGFIELD, ILL. Special to THE FREEMAN. "We're fighting against national disfranchisement right now," he cried. "They may have us down, but they haven't got us tied. I may be down on the ground, but they won't tie me. I'll bite, and kick, and scratch until I die. Blood may flow, but I'll not permit them to rob me of my rights." BLIND TOM. DEAD "Blind Tom," the famous Negro musician, marvel of three generations of playgoers, died recently in Hoboken, N. J., where he had been living for years in retirement and subsisting on charity. Thomas Wiggins is the name given in his burial certificate, but the sur-name was one which the famous pianist adopted. He was born a slave near Columbus, Ga., about 1850. In early childhood, Tom, who was born entirely blind and more than half idiotic, showed himself remarkably imitative, frequently stealing into the house of his master to reproduce on the pianoforte pieces he had heard played by others. In 1861 he became so proficient on the instrument that he was taken to New York and exhibited as a phenomenon and later was widely heard in the United States and Europe. Most people that knew of Blind Tom thought he was dead long since. Notice of his death a few days ago will set at rest the dispute concerning him. In his day, before his idiocy took such a malignant form, he made very much money for those having him in charge. He was in no way competent to take of his own interests; he knew the piano only, and that in the sense of a mimic. His other faculties, one might say, perished in favor of the one of retentiveness, or failed to develop owing to the predisposition for memory and that of musical sounds. We did not hear the great blind prodigy, but think his fame rested on his ability to produce the master tones or the leading tones of those compositions he is said to have played after once hearing them. These leading tones he supplied with a harmony of lower tones as a result of an inborn knowledge of thorough bass very similar to that entertained by most Negroes, but of course much more developed. By supplying, it is not meant that he could not reproduce much of the bass he heard; rather think he could reproduce much of the bass, and most especially the dominant tones, but doubt very much if he could execute the couplets, thirds, fourths and the rest of them with unerring precision. This is no sense detracts from his performances, which were indeed marvelous, and furthermore because it was not ability as conceived, but an abnormalism amounting toa disease. How far it was possible for him to imitate faithfully is the object of inquiry—whether nature could attune an individual so fine "even of one string" that he could catch the varied and intricate combinations of tones possible to the musical art. Much has been seen in print concerning the prodigy, where it has been maintained that he could reproduce to a note what was played even by professional people. However, the professional side has not been heard from; their views more than likely will accord with those advanced here, holding that it is humanly impossible to faithfully reproduce the more intricate masterpieces of the great masters.

Marshall Andrew Trible is laying low these days and is almost impossible to even think of what he will do next. You can look out for almost anything wonderful from "Andy." Now they are coloring that Gus Hill is in control colored theaters in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and several other large cities. Well, if he should, we will have the support in large numbers for him. Billy and Gracie Arnute, "the South Carolina beambucks," are doing extra well these days and the big question being public the an up-to-date singing and dancing act. Everybody knows how Billy last week he sent to this office two picture showing himself and wife in new poses. These Ben Bon Bud doubled sextette, say, is a dream and Walker Company, they are, the "Floridorad" people. They are, Margie Davis, Ida Day, Kathlyn Jones, Margie Daughn, Jessie Ellis, Lavinia Rodin, Margie Charles H. Hall, Ernest Bell, William Moulton, Frank Bain and Henry Proctor. But you ever notice what a vast differ- ence is between the Pekin chorus and others with the average com- pany of to-day? When the time they enter the wings until resuming their dressing room. You cer- tainly move wonderfully fast to be a "Pekin man" that is, one who moves with a vim in an easy way. No wooden need apply. Filzer and Shelton spend all last week here and had a happy time of it. Home folks seemed more than glad to see the two high-class artists, as they never tired of wining and dining them at every opportunity. "Fld" is featuring a song called "Put Hau on Yo Countenance," which is said to be the theme wield. There are few vaudelley teams the road that have established such a reputation in one season as have "those two boys from Indiana." Williams and Walker have selected their vaudelley offering almost entirely from "Bandanna Land." Mr. Williams is singing a new song, "In the Summer Time, No, which is like immensely by Bandanna audiences. Walker is wearing two very swell suits, and his fancy stepping accompanying the final song, "Bon Bun Buddy, the great." Williams also figures in this song number, and his efforts to follow the nimble stepping of George cause much laughter. Mr. J. Ed Green, director of amusements of the Motts houses, has left the New York, where he will further his studies in the arts, with remarkable about Mr. Green is that after writing and rewriting nearly twenty-five plays, mostly of his own composition, he will continue in that line to continue gaining all the knowledge possible in that profession; there is a great lesson in that idea of preparation for the position that position we intend to follow. There is a number of writers and performers who, after making a hit once, see no reason to improve themselves. Miss Marguerite Ward, a popular chorus lady, with the "Bandanna Land" Land of preparation, is the prima donna, it is said. At the benefit by Mrs. Aida Overton Walker for the White Rose Industrial School for Colored Girls, in New York City, June 3, Ward sang one of Mrs. Overton's former successes, "It's Hard to Love Somebody Whose Loving Somebody Else." When she was surprised some of the best critics in the world sang her, someance. Some say she sang like the words of the song had some weight upon her mind. When she had finished singing she felt that she had little folks can sing as well as big folks. PETE HAMPTON AND BAUMAN MAKE BIG HIT. On June 2 Pete Hampton, the old-time favorite, and Bauman visited the town of Oldham, England, for a week's engagement, and took the town by storm. Accustomed to English papers, they have been setting all England wild. In the columns of the Oldham Daily Standard, of the issue of Tuesday, appears a nice account of their act of defiance, and it is the strongest dalles of England, and it is considered by all performers a large mark of credit to receive any favorable mention from its columns. Following is the notice: "Patrons of the Hippodrome this week will be delighted with the fare provided for them. The company is excellent, and includes Hampton and Bauman in a vocal scene. Down in Kentucky. They are full of energy, full of deserve their place at the top of the bill." In another column of the same issue it has this to say concerning their record:: The two colored artists, Hampton and Baumann, have been successful at the Hippodrome this week, are well known by music hall audiences practically all over the world. They are natives of America—the gentleman being Katherine Kearns, they have now toured England for five years, and during that time their reception everywhere has been phenomenal. When on tour they do not stop at disneyland, but they visit Africa, Germany, Russia, India and Asia are some of the lands visited by these accomplished artists. On one occasion, whilst fulfilling a two months engagement, they were the honor of being commanded to appear before his Majesty, King Edward, which they did at Buckingham Palace. They will be well remembered by Oldhamers by reason of their only performance. They were the Empire in the 'Dahomey show. They are both acceptable vocalists, musicians and dancers." "BLIND TOM" DIES IN NEW YORK. On Sunday, June 14, one of the greatest musicians, or marvels, of three generations of play-goers died in Hoboken, NJ. J. Wiggins, but the surname was one which the famous pianist adpted. He was born a slave near Columbus, Ga., about 1843. In early childhood he taught himself more than half idiotic, showed himself remarkably imitative, frequently stealing into the house of his master to reproduce on the planoforte pieces he had learned. He became so proficient on the instrument that he was taken to New York and exhibited as a phenomenon, and later was widely heard in the United States and About three years ago "Blind Tom" visited Cleveland, O., for the purpose of giving a concert. At that recital there were something like a thousand in attendance. In the audience sat some of the best known musicians in that part of the country, several of whom were called upon to play the most difficult piece that had their repertoire and which they had done so. "Blind Tom" would give a correct imitation of each player, to the delight of all. It was always noticed that after rendering a piece he would rise from the piano and make applause for himself in an amusing way by patting on his hands lightly. At that particular concert he showed much feebleness and nervousness at the times he was not engaged in playing, but appear to have a remarkably good moment. He was good for a funny joke or a rousing incident most any time the reporters called upon him. Of course, he had his "off times". There were times when his mind would almost be a blank and others when he would talk at random, but when he returned to himself, you found him full of love and humor. His imitation of the under storm and the bat-up of Gettysburg were the most perfect and realistic pieces ever performed before any audience by a master. P. G. LOWERY'S ENTERPRISE. P. G. Lowery & Co. were royally entertained June 14 at Menonville, Wis., by Ben Gillam and West Brown, warm friends of the Beechmans and Garlands.

Bolden sends regards to Frye Miller of Joelt Ill., and hopes to hear his response. They say Billy May has been with P. G. Lowery for fifteen years. That's long enough to be on the pension list.

Both teams have been playing for the last four years, they have merited the large crowds that have witnessed the magnificent games since the first ball was tossed across the diamonds. At one time, but the Giants had played the first game, but the Unions games of the Unions has caused the crowd to divide. This has been due to the Unions playing the Reccius, the famous white ball. The Giants have last and last Sunday. They hope to win again this Sunday. To demonstrate that there has been no put up game between the Unions and the Giants, they played a twelve innning game with a score of three to two in favor of the Unions. Under the management of "Bally" Fleming the Unions are making good and the Unions are making good and the street and Broadway to see his boys, while other crowds go on to Spring Bank and see the famous Giants.

The Louisville Giants and much-heralded Gold Medals crossed bats last Sunday with a dounded side of giants come pletely outclassed the Medals and the Giants outplayed the Medals at every stage of the game. Coleman hit Fritz for a home run. Cld Miles was back in center at his exhibited some fine playing. There was a great deal of private existing between the Unions and the Giants. The wants to see both the crack colored teams come together. A number of well-known baseball sports who have been patronizing games said last week that if they don't care together they were going to take their quarters to some other game. All you can hear is when are the two crack teams going to play: The Giants, under Mr. Lancaster, has made a wonder-like work and it is due this team that has a great enthusiasm to high. Mr. Lancaster deserves great credit for putting such excellent ball teams before the public and will deserve more if some agreement can come whereby the two colored teams will cross bats.

THOMPSON. Very boastful was Iagoo, Never heard he an adventure But myself had met a greater; Never himself had met a greater; But himself had done a bolder; Never any marvelous story But himself could tell a stranger. Would you listen to his boasting, Would you only give him credence, No one ever shot an arrow Half so far and high as he had; Half so far and high as he had; Ever killed so many reindeer; Ever trapped so many beaver! None could run so fast as he could, None could dive so deep as he could, None could swim so far as he could, None had made so many journeys, None had seen so many wonders, As this marvelous Iagoo, As this marvelous Iagoo, It will be "President Taft" after the 4th of next March. It is well to have a case before attempting to be a "contestant." Temporary Chairman Burrows was not "John R. Lynched." Louisville might be happy if the Colored High School could have two principals about now. It is well to be able to distinguish clearly between ingratiate and independence. The latter is often a cloak to hide the former. Agitation to be potent must be timely, based on sane principles, and conducted by individuals who stand for something worth while. Among the familiar features that failed to put in an appearance at the Norfolk General Conference was the quadernial Townsend bishopic boom. The "chronic knocker," who sees no good in anybody, and who has no faith in anything, is entitled to a front seat in the class of "undesirable citizens." Other cities than Washington would have a "Medico-Chirurgical Society" if the young doctors and their friends were sure they could pronounce the name. The delegates at Chicago will find a never-failing source of inspiration in the biblical text, "Be not weary of well-dong, in due season ye reallay ye, if ye faint not." If there is a "natural antagonism" between the white and black races, why should white men find it necessary to pass laws to keep white women from marrying Negro men? It is a fine thing to be able to go forward upon one's "merits"; but when a fellow is somewhat "shy" on merits, a "thing" might handy commodity to have within reach. Anyhow, in planning to keep the Brownwells issue to the fore, Senator Foraker is making it subtly impossible for any Negro to have an excuse for voting the Democratic ticket. Negro editors managed to retrain from getting out of school to answer question—that is, they did not get worried over the one the "big guns" talked about during the recent Congress. the manager of a campaign press bureau who thinks personal abuse and misrepresentation are "good politics" is a raw man, and the great people are not froils and cannot be fooled by a fool. And now Senator Bailey, another Negro governor in the state, commissioned from an aggravate commission, suffered from an aggravate commission, the thing of talking too much about the black man is sure to bring disastrous consequences in its train. "They walked right in and turned around, and walked right out again," is refrain Kossoff, coining Simmons was heathenly, and he immediately that his contest Mississippiians had been given the "double-cross" by the national committee at Chicago. Dr. L. H. Reynolds could have been a bishop—without vote or American jurisdiction—had he been willing to exchange it for the "Dark Continent." He did not need the title that urgently. It will be Reynolds next time, without a doubt. It is now up to Chairman Thomas J. Calloway to see it that the American Negro makes an adequate showing at the Japanese World's Fair at Tokyo in 1912. The American Negro makes an adequate showing at the Earth. Mr. Calloway is giving the sometime reputation of Barnum a close run. The banishment of the Rev. Jay Albert Johnson to far-away Africa meets with universal approval. The faithful and uninterested press agent of the university's press agent have borne the fruit that might have been expected. A lemon is better than no fruit at all. Private Secretary Emmett J. Scott has no idea of becoming a candidate for the superintendency of Freedmen's Hospital at washington—a job that does not exist. He is a professor at the museum of Imagination on a certain New England "weakly" is working overtime. Bishop Scott says that no one is permitted to become a member of the Mystodist Episcopal church who does not pledge himself to abstain from intoxicating liquor. If this rule should be rigidly enforced, the country, there would be—well, what's the use of prophesying what there would be? Bishop Stephen S. Visner of the Free Synagogue of New York, gets on the solidest kind of ground when he says "The three great powers of the world today are the school, the church, and the press and the church in its influence is the press." The reasons are obvious. Baltimoreans are urging their moneymen to start a good paying business enterprises, and are calling attention to the need to increase stores, hotels and restaurants. The committee meeting the National Negro Business League in that city will doubtless act as an effective stimulant in this direction. Collector W. D. Crum was "on the job" when Secretary Taft stopped off at Charleston, S. C., en route to Panama. As the leading representative of the federal government it was not only his duty but a duty to be Foremost in extending the freedom of the city to its distinguished guest. It will be of interest to our Indianapolis readers to know that Mr. James K. Nickens, the stereotyped lecturer, and Mrs. Cornelia Harrison Evans, both former residents of the Hoosier capital, but now of Cleveland, Ohio, were united in merriment in the Buckeye city. They have the best wishes of a host of friends throughout the entire country. In adding 40,000 to the membership of of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in his year and a half of administration, Grand Master Houston has made an appointment for his ordination at the head of that massive organization. The B. M. C. at Atlantic City in September will be a "Houston ratification meeting." The active work of taking the thirteenth census will soon begin. More than 3,000 additional helpers will be needed to carry on the great undertaking. Colored men and women who can so arrange their prereligious duties will be a chance to draw on their talents for a limited period, would be well to sit up and take notice. Bishop Walters did not get a "square deal" at the hands of that Philadelphia crowd, and he shows signs of washing his hands of the entire outfit. The genial Bishop of New York has the confidence to good people the country, and there is always a front seat reserved for Didn't we tell you so! him on the band wagon when he gets ready to occupy it. Congressman Hefilm, of malodorous fame, who misrepresents the Tuskegee district of Alabama at Washington, made a speech the other day in the House, but it was so "punk" that Speaker Cannon wrote the original stenographer to admit it from the Record. Flingly, when the husky "pistol-toter" shoots off his mouth, Congress "pays him no mind." The Baltimore Afro-Amet Carvedger, in lamenting the lack of hotel accommodations in the Monumental City, evidently overlooks The Goldfield, the elegant hostelry operated by Joe Gans and partner; and Brother Murphy's excellent journal of life is to be shown at the Hoffman House, conducted in first class style by Wallace L. Smith, is still going business at the old stand. The "fine Italian hand" of Auditor Ralph W. Tyler was conspicuously in evidence throughout the proceedings at Chicago, now-wow. It is an open secret that to his quiet but highly effective efforts the "square deal" promised to the Negro against from South, and the resonant suffrage plank in the platform, were "signed, sealed and delivered." Mr. Tyler never fails to get what he goes after. Dr. M. C. B. Mason, secretary of the Freedmen's Aid. Society of the Methodist Episcopal church, is liberal on the subject of the education of the clergy and a croquet enthusiast and when he goes to the various cities on his itineraries he frequently takes advantage of his opportunities to the local teams. Dr. Mason will be a blonde of these days, if he lives long enough. Chairman T. J. Calloway did himself proud as the official minister of the Indian envoys on their recent visit to the commencement at Tuskegee Institute. He exhibited the distinguished African commissioners to the Tuskegeeans and exhibited his dual task with the skill and ease that might naturally be expected of a veteran of many stupendous expositions. There is hope for the white people of Arkansas, after all. They had the good judgment the other day to rise in their ranks and to show their dual task with the skill and ease that might naturally be expected by sufficing Jeff Davis hip and thigh, defeating him for delegate to the Denver convention by an overwhelming majority. It looks as if the sojourn of the "Howling Dervish" in the United States Senate will be short-lived. The General Conference of the A. M. E. Zion church lived up to its great opportunity in re-electing John C. Dancy as editor in charge of Quorum and the institutional Dr. George C. Clement to the editorial chair of the Star of Zion. When an organization gets the right kind of men in charge, it is fitted, it is a blunder to move them out merely to make a place for a novice who may happen to be popular among his brethren. The able and scholarly New York Age was never better than now. Under the energetic and business-like management of unexamined prosperity, its editors伯 REV. V. S. S. The Noted Pastor of Washington [Name not visible in the image] Dr. V. S. Smith came to this State from the State of Virginia fifteen months ago, and he was a member of the Church of Earlington, Ky. He accepted the call and spent only nine months with the church, where he was successful in erecting a beautiful brick, of brick, with a seating capacity of 600. This building is a credit to the people of Earlington to the Baptists of the State to the race. HOW BEST TO INFLUENCE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TO ATTEND CHURCH. (Read before the City B. Y. P. U.) (Read before the City B. Y. P. U.) Dear Friends—It affords me much pleasure to appear before you with this important message from the High influence Our Young People to Attend Church." We desire first to inquire as to how far Christ's influence may be seen in the lives of our kings and upon the governments over which they rule. Among the many names by which we designate the Divine Being, we may see the significant difference those who we describe Him as the Moral Ruler, Governor Sovereign of the universe. Indeed, the term Lord is one that involves the idea of rule and authority, and the spheres of His domination, it has special reference to His moral government and to Him as a Moral Governor. God's fatherhood does not call into exercise the discipline of the character and relationship that belong to Him as Ruler. If there is any being among men who ought to have and may have moral character and moral responsibility to the head of civil government. At least it is so if the ruler and the government over which he rules are to fulfill their heavenly mission. If the kingdom of righteousness is ever to be fully established in the earth it can only be by the kingdoms of this world and the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ. An important part of the work of Christianity in the earth is to Christianize the world. If we are to influence our young people to attend the church we must have a moral character and a moral responsibility. The trouble that comes be- --- --- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. he gets are crisp, plain-spoken, dignified in statement and optimistic in spirit, and its news columns are full of fresh and clean matter; the information for made think well of itself and encourages the weak to persevere and be strong in their efforts toward individual betterment. Former Register Judson W. Lyons made an excellent showing as Georgia's national committee man. He conducted him with dignity and with kindness in the stages of the game, and impressed everybody as being a man who was sincere and knew just what he was doing. It was a neat compliment on the part of Chrisman Harry S. New to call Mr. Lyons to the chair during the hearing of the Mississippi contests, and the former register's friends have delivered in the good account he gave of himself. Mr. Lyons will be a factor in the coming campaign. A Large Selection of Latest Patterns 14k gold LAVALIERS at prices below competition. Will be pleased to show you the selection. CARL L. ROST. The rapid trend of the federal government toward centralization is in keeping with demands of modern sought. Private institutions have sought to results grow out of the concentration of responsibility at a common center, and that a single source of power should be the primary source of power of the machinery it is designed to move. Centralization is absolutely necessary to the preservation of our national life. No matter what the rights" which is invoked nine times out of ten to avoid federal interference with pernicious and oppressive local laws. With Ben, Tillman and Dr. Alderman, of the University of Virginia, off to Europe to recuperate, Jim Vardaman sent to the rear, Joe Balleway with a sore throat, an unarmed black man, Hoke Smith put down and out in Georgia, and Jeff Davis elected to stay at home from the Davis County jail in Arkansas, it looks as if the bitterest of the Negro's foes are being "brought unto judgment" in a miraculous way. Surely thegency in the divine inunction, "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord; I will repay." Cary B. Lewis is forging to the front in the reportorial world like a streak of greaseful lightning. His special write-up of the reportorial state of affairs at the trial Institute at Frankfort, published in illustrated style by the Louisville Courier-Journal, was a fine piece of work. His Treeman are among the best features of the reportorial series to its prestige as a purveyor of live news. Mr. Lewis is young, aggressive, ambitious and capable, and if the "old stagers" do not look to their aureus, the nimble Kentucky will be "lighten unto their hip." Ten months ago, when a group of well known colored men were disposed to speak unkindly of Secretary Taft because he was a Republican, they will charge of the Brownsville troops, and to threaten to bolt the ticket if he should be the nominee, the writer of this column remarked, as William Horton nominee, the Negroes will vote for that nominee, and the less that is said against him now, the less you will be able back this time next year."

SMITH, D. D. St. Baptist Church, Paducah, Ky. but a pastor, and last, but not least, he is a giant in the pulpit. As a preacher he has very few equals. He is scholarly, he has many spiritual. Such qualities enable him to be at the will he was called to take charge of the Washington Street Baptist Church of Paducah, Ky., in December, 1907. He accepted the role of the wife of the people of Earlington. He changed the first Sunday in January, 1908, and is now moving that great force to success. for us in this age is the young people have lost confidence in our leaders; so when the young people conflict leaders and our leaders lose the influence over them, it is true that our young people and our leaders lose the influence over them, it is true that we attend a show or a dance rather than a concert, but remember, this age is an age of despair. The old method of conducting prayer meeting will not reach the minds of this bunch of an old hymn in a long time and will not reach the minds of me meet the demand of this age. What must we do, and how shall we influence them? First, the church must put more life into the B. Y. P. U. and the Sunday school. The B. Y. P. U. is the medium through which we make disciples. Jesus said to His apostles, "Go ye into all the相信, and preach my gospel to every creature, and by having them in the name of the Father, Son, and My Ghost." The Sunday school is the place to teach them or make disciples of them. Let us lead the church to more life in the young people's department, and then you will find that the church will grow. Education plays an important part in this work. You must give us the little boy and girl that is the Sunday school they must remain and hear the good preached. The leaders or rulers of the church must give more time to try to encourage the young people to attend the church. Every man in woman, however great or small, has some influence over those about them. Then if we as Christians fail to use our influence for good. God will hold us responsible in the judgment. Give the young people the leading that will entice them to come to church; then they will attend prayer meeting and other meetings. We have a deal of work to do ourselves.

Du Charles Marshall.— For some days I have kept in the background and have had little to say or do in reporting letters concern, but on receiving several boundaries and take notice. Some time ago a movement was on foot to organize a colored National baseball league everything was done by myself and others to attend the game, but for some reason its light flickered out alas soon as it was started. It seems that the very people who were deeply interested in the league now formning leagues of their own time and States. Also, it appeared that many of the officers and members expected one or two persons to play without having any whatever on their part. Every one was good at handing over the officers and members expected one or two persons to play without having any whatever on their part. But that was all. If every person concerned and given the support, strong team spirit and have been able to do-day and everybody really helped. Of course, it is no small matter to form a league, and its importance as an association to a few handicaps it can be realized now the movement is at a standstill and the prospects look cloudy. But with the help of a association, Lehigh, Chicago, William H. Ford, of Conrad Kuebler, of St. Louis, and Ed Lancaster, of Louisville, Ky., a cooring organization, has several minor leagues played in various parts that could be right into the big league with good effect. The National Colored Baseball League, even though there is something good just now. John B. Taylor, Jr., the great runner, has again established the fact that he is one of the world's great mile run at the annual National Intercollegiate Championship meet in Philadelphia, recently, as well as for all American colleges. Taylor, whom is considered to be the world's greatest meet for athletes. It was with sorrow and regret that the patient was received last week that Referee Siler had been stricken with heart disease and would in all probability not recover from the shock. The veteran is in Chicago with walking prosthesis. Siler is in Chicago overcome. He sank to the sidewalk unconscious and was carried to a near-by drug store by strung up. The patient was moved to Milwaukee where he was scheduled to report the Parke-Ketchel glove contest for the Chicago Tribune, the paper which has emblazoned the sporting world has been aware of the weakened condition of the old-time boxer and retired champion on that day the sudden breakdown of the ring official was no great surprise, but at the same time his friends the shock greatly, and many inquiries as to his health came from the United States. Eller has acted as the third man in the ring in at least a dozen of the most important glove contests in the history of the American Open, and he has also played in the famous Corbett-Fitzsimmons battle at Carson City, and also declared Eller winner over Tom Sharkley in that leap-to-be-remembered encounter at Carson Island for the world's champion. Eller won the third man in the ring when Joe Gans whipped Battling Nelson at Goldfield on a foul. He also officiated in the fight between Martin Hart and Mike Schreck at Tonopah last year in this contest that he took part in. It seems strange that this widely known ring general should get his start to fame in far-off Nevada, and in that same State practically finish his career in the squared corner of the ring at which $8,000 was raised. Had it not been for this he would have left the ring practically penless. Terry McGovern has quit the ring for good, and with his retirement the Queensberry realm loses one of the most wonderful bakers in the history of the game. He has become an inactive as far as pugilistic matters were concerned, but, after several weeks' training in the South, the fight bee started buzzing. He was forged for him with Young Laughrey, at Philadelphia. He made good in that contest and he was matched with "Spike" by the team. He forgot all the good things he ever knew about boxing, and his manager, Joe Humphries, decided to call off all bouts he had in view, and in the future will be a boxing star. Terry started off his fighting career with Sam Harris as his manager, and Sam snuck to him to the last. Although Joe Harris was a great player for several years, Sam has all along done his best to help Terry along, and his advice was heeded in all matters of importance. The fact that Harris and Sam were both in the end of his fighting days shows that there was no friction of any kind in the McCormick camp, and that he was not a bad player. McGovney on the road to riches, and has also made big money for Joe Humphreys, the only boy who never profited to any extent. He may have been Charley Mayhood, who trained him for every big fight he went into. Charley even working on the street cars in New York, and was always faithful to the Brooklyn whirlwind, and did much toward boosting into the championship. Though he might have good things, Mayhood has the satisfaction knowing that he was in a great measure responsible for the success of the greatest fighter of the age, who always fought hard. Mayhood would not now be in need. JACK JOHNSON'S CAREER. Jack Johnson was born in Galveston, Tex. in 1878, and now is at the zenith of his powers. He has been active by engaged in baseball. He has his first fight of importance was with Joe Chiesiwi in Galveston, in 1901, when he faced two rounds, and both he and Chiesiwi won. Then Johnson went down the line and most almost every man who would fight him knocked out Jack Jeffries, brother of the late Jack Jeffries, and it was brought the bottlermaker would take revenge for the insult to the family, not do so. The most significant battle had been his career was with Marvin Hart, in San Francisco, where the white man won. Some of the Johnson never was able to beat decisively and Hank Griffin. Ferguson, Joe Jeannette and Hank Griffin. LANFORD GAVE HIM A BEATING Sandy Ferguson, the Chelsea, Mass., weighs, took a severe beating at the end of the season, but mourn A. A.

BASEBALL STAR PAYS FINE Special to THE FREEMAN DETROIT, Mich—Ty Cobb, of the Tigers, appeared before Justice Jeffries, on June 1, on a charge of assault and battenge, for the Negro, whom Ty slugged on Saturday afternoon as he was leaving the hotel for the ball park. Tyrus claimed the Negro insulted him. He pleaded not guilty. "If you are guilty you'll have to pay a fine." We told our batting average won't save you. We asked when we go to see you, and you ought to pay when you come here." The court consulted his pocket schedule, for that the team would be at home next Monday, and set the hearing for that date. THE BURNS-JOHNSON AFFAIR IN ENGLAND. Sam Fitzpatrick, manager of Jack Johnson, writes as follows from England: Dear Sir—We have now been in England four weeks, doing our best, as you have done. We are joined by Tommy Burns, who claimed the world's pionship, into a match for that title and a big side stake. The British public know that the war has placed no obstacle whatever to the war. B B The Greater Birmingham Giants Baseball Club, which has won fifteen out of twenty-two games played this season, and fifty-one out of eighty-two last season, the contrary, he has been doing his best all along to put forward difficulties which may be surmounted. More money—in fact, considerably more—has been offered Burns than he ever fought for in a genial effort, and he has promised him backing up to $15,000. There is no bluff in this statement, for the money is at hand at any moment. As I write, Mr. Matthews said that Burns Club sells $5,000, which is lodged with him to prevent any get out on the part of Burns or any jealousy among newspapers, and this, as I have said, can, if necessary, be increased to Burns has repeatedly stated that he is out for the money, and, bearing this in mind, drawing him, to bet him odds to his stake, and we will wager him to $15,000 to his $10,000, and, further, Johnson will agree that the winner shall take the whole of the Club, and the winning Club is prepared to give. I would like to remind Burns and his friends that in doing this we are making overtures to the title, and I would at the same time ask any sporting man if such a thing has previously been known in the history of the game. Now, in order to know—though the explanation is hardly necessary—that Burns is doing his utmost to side-step Johnson, we are making overtures to the match with Bill Squires, which is scheduled for July 12( in Paris). It is almost unnecessary to say that Burns has already beaten Johnson. Before, why a second match, if not for the purpose of gaining time or furnishing a stop-gain. Then we come to the alleged obstacle put forward by Burns to evade a match with Johnson. A week has elapsed since this astonishing cablegram was read to the public, and yet transcripts of the other than obvious at the Holborn Empire. I have made inquiries in all directions respecting this particular message, which should, if the affair is business and not bluff, have reached either Johnson or Prunts. Up to the present however, Burns appears to be the only man here who knows anything about it. Therefore, we can put the Goldfield business down as bunker when Burns knows it to be an agony is still being piled up, for the next thing that appears is the offer of a purse for Burns to box Lang, of Australia. Is this a move made out of England, having chased him to this country, is he going to give us the scent on a sail to Australia? I would like to say that Johnson has already defended this same Lang in very elegant fashion, taking all this into consideration. I ask, where does the honor and glory come in for Burns to meet beaten men and to travel 16,000 miles to fight one of Lang's caliber? I would suggest before he leaves THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER England that Burns has a return match with Jem Roche, who appears quite as much entitled to another go as Bill Squires. Statements to the contrary notwithstanding, Johnson, as can be proved, has had money posted with the Evening Journal of New York for the past six months to bind a match with Burns. His stake is, as I have said, now up in England, and Burns makes no response. In face of all this, there is surely no question as to who is to-day the genuine champion of the world. Johnson is, as he has been all along, prepared to box, and Burns fails to come forward. There is, therefore, only one inference to be drawn, which is that Burns is afraid. From this date I therefore feel justified in claiming the championship for Jack Johnson, who, I may add, is ready to defend it at all times, and against all comers, giving Burns the first chance. Yours truly, OHIO LEAGUE ORGANIZED. Through the efforts of Andrew Williams and William H. Ford, owner and manager of the Cleveland Glants, a State Colored Baseball League has been organized Other teams compose the league: Columbus, Cleveland, Springfield, Dayton, Cincinnati and Xenia. CRICKET CLUB ORGANIZED Thursday evening, May 21, a number of the best known colored cricket players in this country met at 216 North Penn avenue, Atlantic City, and organized the West Indian Cricket Club. Many of the mem of the team to be defeated Fenwick Club, of Barbados, B.W. I, have defeated Oxford, of London, and also the crack Australian teams. The officers elected are as follows: James A. Murray, president; J. H. Tucker, vice president; J. W. secretary; Joseph Greenwich, treasurer; Sydney Hutchinson, field captain. JUDGE FAVORS SPORTSMEN The courts of Delaware county, in the case of the Olympic Athletic Association, affirm the legality of boxing in Pennsylvania in this case and have had down in this case the judges gave decisive will be pleasing to followers of the sport all over the State of Pennsylvania. In the plea of the Olympic Athletic Association, it was maintained that "there is no legal argument against boxing in Pennsylvania" or "actions of boxing in Pennsylvania." In reply the court states: "This is affirmed, provided such exhibitions do not include contests on the result of which any money is valuable thing is bet or wagered." In many places throughout the State boxing bouts of any description whatever have been performed with through the actions of parties anxious for cheap notoriety and of grafting politicians, who have what has rightly been termed "the litching palm, or, in which the boxing boxer has been permitted by the police officials has been never had any good reason to want B B B hold the title of champions of the South. They are open to all clubs on their own grounds or elsewhere. Prefer dates with Louisville Giants, A. B. C.'s and Chicago to interfere with it as an orderly, well-conducted sport, which is enjoyed by thousands, while at the other end of the State, the players are supposed to prevail, boxing has been prohibited by over-officious policemen, and even amateur bouts have been forbidden. It will be noticed in the opinion that no mention is made of the length of time which a boxing bout may be carried on, and there is every reason to think that within a reasonable degree, as far as the State is concerned, the law places no limit on the number of rounds to be boxed. The principal thing which the judges seem to have had in mind was the fact that the line must be distinctly drawn between a prize fight and a boxing match, and that to make it clear that there is a difference. LEAGUE BASEBALL FEVER HIGH. It is only a small matter of time until a National Colored Baseball League will be had by some of the larger cities of the country, and that fact because of the success some of the States have had with minor leagues. Recently Mr. Conrad Kuebler, owner of the league consisting of Glauca, organized and around St. Louis, and that league has been wonderfully successful financially. The same might be said of the Ohio State League, comprising Columbus, Cleveland, and Detroit. The league which was organized through the efforts of William H. Ford and Andrew Williams. These leagues are very successful, because they guarantee professional ball playing, and because they are played by playing. At Cleveland only last week, at a Saturday game between Columbus and Cleveland, the attendance was over 700 strong. Suppose we were to have a National League attendance would be even stronger, and don't you think the idea even better? Of course these minor leagues are necessary, as they will aid both magnates and players in the desired experience that is required. In the effort to form a National League last winter it was seen that many of the towns mentioned were entirely one of the teams were so inexperienced in the idea that they feared to venture even one step towards placing it in working order. The team may gain this season will be of much use to them in promoting a National League. CORBETT SAYS GANS IS BRAINY FIGHTER. "This man Gans I consider the master now. I put on the gloves with him one afternoon just before he boxed Erne. Some people wanted to find out whether he was there or not, and I told them after a while that there was nothing in the world he didn't know about the game. He is sitting in the ring, and knows the game from soup to soup. "Does a finger need brains? Well, you can say for me that a fighter needs them and that a player does; and you can imagine what a player would do in a shortstop but in a close game of ball, can't you?" piped Jim Corbett one night last week at Detroit, as he leaned up against Thomas Flyer, smoking a large Perfecto. "Why, certainly, they are smart fellows. Look at those who have the great names—Tommy McCoy, Jack O'Brien, Young Corbett, Frank Erne—oh, and any number of other big fellows." "No, I didn't include Fitzsimmons and Terry McGovern. I consider those two natural fighters. They knew without knowing all about the game, and were pleasantly surprised. Who was a cunning fellow, and if he had been schooled when he was young I think he'd have been as smart as any of them, as he had things up as fast as they came his way. "There are bruisers and sluggers, you know, who never will amount to anything, you know, who will stretch and one wallop. I can't do that it all. I braintrain braystores they are the easiest men in the world to beat. I don't think that I was the smart Aleck of the bunch, but for the rest of my life, I low who wanted to get one wallop over. You can do them out in a round—learn their speed, their one wallop, their little tricks, and then pepper them blind. You can do them out in a round—beats the slugger nine times out of ten. He has to be a judge of distance; he has to know how to fight this fellow and that fellow; he has to know where to place his foot, and he has to know how hard he is fighting so that he can save his strength." THE A. B. C.'S GROW STRONGER. With the changing this season of the A. B. C. team of this city, it can be seen as one as for the best. The team is now one of the stars in the pitching staff, with the recent addition of Lewis Johnson, of Memphis, Tenn., has been placed in the front ranks along with other professional teams. This season, he is the manager for Manager Rutler and his galant crew. WINGS OF CLIPPERS ARE CLIPPED. Special to THE FREEMAN. CHARLESTON, W. Va.—The Charleston institute baseball teams played an exciting game on the largest crowds ever assembled here for atlantic event. For the No. 16th inning the game was of the A. No. 1 class. Both clubs showed up in fine form, the weather being ideal for the players, but rather uncomfortable to the blazing sun, who were exposed to the heat. Neither side was able to score. Charleston sending a man across the home plate tied the score their next time at but, getting in four more runs during the next three innings, while Charleston added two. Then it was that the slaughter began. Charleston had acquitted itself with credit for the game, delays occasioned by their all too frequent dispute decisions be overlooked. The ALABAMA MIDDLEVINE CO.

Ellis, in the last half of the season, who appeared to have gotten into a brawl, lost their heads. Fumbles came so frequently that one would have thought they were a lot of beginners in the art of fumbles, the first time. The ball was in the hands of every player of the infield on a single pitch, it was replayed. Institute took advantage of the conclusion up three runs, making the score 8 to 3 in their favor, which practically ended the game. Individually there was little to choose between the two clubs, but Institute far surpassed the Clippers in team work, and their pitcher, Country Foldexter, had a win over Charlotte, who did the twirling for Charleston. LONDON DISPATCH SAYS JOHNSON GIVES UP LONDON, June 15—Jack Johnson, the American colored fighter, has given up all hope of getting a match with Tommy Burns. Burns has used every propulsion to fight Johnson. The Sporting Club has offered a $7,500 purse for a fight between Johnson and Marvin Hart, the Kentucky scraper, to take place. After this fight Johnson will follow Burns to Australia in a further attempt to get on a match with him. Burns will fight between Burns and Jom Rhee is ill. The sporting syndicate headed by Dick Croker, former Tammany leader, which backed Roche before, believes that the Irishman was insufficiently trained for his first go with Burns, and is ready to put up some money for a second bout. AN EASY MARK FOR WALCOTT. At Springfield, O., on Thursday night, June 11, Joe Walcott disposed of Charley what was to be a ten-run game. What was to be a nine in the hands of Walcott, who played with his man for three that Kemp's efforts were so feeble that Walcott could walk away from him and laugh. Joe tried to dispose of his opponent in the fourth, but he managed to last the game, and with his seconds tossed a towel into the ring. REPORT EACH GAME TO US.
