Her illness was quite a shock to her host of friends. She was an active member of the Thirteenth and Broadway Street A. M. E. B., who was a friend many years of faithful services. The funeral services were held at the church, and Bishop Alexander Walters, of New York, detected the灵eral oration. His long illness gave him spendid opportunity to pay tribute to her work and worth as a noble and enterprising Christian woman. It was a gift she gave to her heart's delight to rear two individuals in the city "Peace, Ferreed Peace," was sung by Miss Maria C. Henry, and a sacred solo was given by Mrs. B. Hendricks. The funeral services offered by Rector Leroy Ferguson offered prayers for the pastor of the church, read the obituary, The Scripture lesson was read by the B. B. Hendricks. The funeral services designed were beautiful. Mrs. Johnson leaves a son, William, and a daughter, Bessie, to mourn her loss, and a large number of all denominations. The interment was at Eastern Cemetery. The Masonic Grand Lodge of the State of Kentucky will meet in this city during the month of August. We have been informed that Mr. William Johnson, on the committee to get out printing matter, will splendid committee, and we feel sure that some of the Negro printing officers will be able to print the news matter. The Grand Lodge should also give wide range of advertising in the daily papers, and that series of the ancient and noble order should be taken to look after the news matter to keep it before the world. These large orders should have a regular reporter who matters to the journals, accept which contributes to the general interest of a Grand Lodge meeting and finally history. It is the policy now of most Negro newspapers to have such services that the bright side of Negro life will appear in the daily press. Miss Athenele Peyton will leave next week for Denver, Col.

NELSON WINS THE FIGHT STOMACH BLOW KNOCKS JOE GANS OUT THE VICTOR GIVEN AN OVATION "The Best Man Won Beyond a Doubt" Says Gans—Carried From Scene of Defeat by His Seconds—News of Battle. Special to THE FREEMAN. There were few who watched the progress of the battle and saw Gans grow weakened, but had made up their minds as to the result long before the count was given that made the Illinois lad champion. Then he took the floor in the final round, each time taking all the time allowed. A blow from Nelson's left to the pit of the stomach ended the fight and Gans toppled over and rested on his knee. He was knocked into his feet, but failed and was counted out. NELSON GIVEN OVATION. Then 10,000 men and a score of women who had gathered in the open air arena on the San Mateo Hills he cheered the man and rushed infrenzied enthusiasm for the ring. The special police were bowled over and Nelson was swept off his feet and carried about the arena, while the beaten, bleeding Gans was carefully escorted, his seconds from the scene of his fistkick. "The best man won beyond a doubt," was Gans's frank admission as he left the arena many. After the third round I began to feel myself tiring. Old age will tell, and that is all I have to say. Many of Gans's friends claimed the count on the final knockdown was short, and that he was not properly out. It was apparent, however, that Gans was still in the grip of the count. For the first five rounds Gans landed at will on Nelson, terribly punishing him about the face. It did not look that Nelson had one chance in a hundred to win. He never hesitated to come to close quarters with the champion, and swung his arms constantly, seeking an opening. Finally, in the seventh round, Gans began to weaken, and from that time till the end of the game, Nelson was counted out. NELSON GIVEN OVATION.

Finally, in the seventh round, Gans began to weaken, and from that time till the end of the game, Nelson was counted out. In the seventh he caught Gans off his guard and landed heavily on the body. He was then tackled by the twelfth round Gans went to the floor for the count of nine on three different occasions. Nelson punished him severely by the face, but it was the body blow that eventually brought the champion to grief. In the fourteenth Gans showed a flash of determination, less beaten at this stage, he rocked the Dane time and again with his famous short-arm wallpops, but they had not the slightest effect. Welsh had this to say after the fight: "Nielosm won a clean-cut victory. I do not, however, think that the Gans of to-day is the Gans of old. Now he is, and it was a case of youth having its fling."

THE "RED BRIDE." The dazzling red bride is the latest sensation in Paris; and not the red bride in Paris, the bride and the bride all in red. A brunette was the daring originator of this fashion, and her beauty was so enhanced by this brilliant setting on her wedding day that the regulation, which was a severe shock. Already flattering imitators are substituting bright red roses for orange blossoms, and bridal gowns of red scarlet for those of white satin and lace. ABOUT SINGLE WOMEN. Nowhere else in the world is the woman who has chosen the single life so thoroughly her own mistress, so wholly the arbiter of her own destiny, so completely she can create the atmosphere that shall make her the most beautiful New York. In Paris she is declauses—an object of social suspicion—because she has not openly annexed a breadwinner. In London she becomes the mother, by pity, of a visitor to her children, or some distant relative's children. In the lesser cities of the United States, a writer in Woman believes, some of the old prejudice remains against the woman who has missed or declined matrimony, or who has been superfluous woman, and as such is tolerated or pilled, but never approved.

Y., preacher whose campaign against gossiping has brought annotator James H. B. upon which he believes will silence the wagging tongues of the women of Little Falls. He said in Little Falls there are just twelve fountain heads of gossip. In fourteen months he has noted down their talk of the gossip, three and three-fourths yards of gossip. Mr. MacIravy will set apart one Sunday of the month to squelching gossipers, and the gossip with the names of the gossipers. WOMAN IS COUNTY JUDGE. The appointment of Mrs. Levi Cooper as probate judge of Mitchell county. Missouri, by Governor Hoch and the discussions that resulted from this appointment led to the creation of a kind of office in the State except State offices has one or more woman occupant. Mrs. Cooper is the only woman in the State who is serving as probate judge, Miss Cooper is the county attorney, and third as county attorney of Seward county. In Norton county Kate Johnson has just completed a term as county treasurer. There are half a dozen or more county registers of deeds in the State and probably more than a hundred of schools. So far as is known there are no women serving as clerks of the district courts or county commissioners. Several have served as mayors of cities. In several instances there were women who volunteered for State Superintendent of Public Instruction but they were not elected. AMERICAN WOMEN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL. Andre Brouillet, the eminent French portrait painter, of Paris, who has just returned from New York, contributes an article to Gill Blaise, in which he says "the best women are the most beautiful in the world." "From a mixture of German and English blood," he says, has resulted a new generation of women combining the best qualities. Each woman generally is large and robust, with all the grace which comes to constant exercise. They have the reputation of being tremendously fond of dress, but they are sagacious. They never dye their hair. For example, I saw many women who, though still young, were quite gray. I can imagine them as beautiful, but contrast this made with the youthfulness of their faces and figures. I believe their wisdom in this respect largely is inspired by numerous portraits by French masters of the eighteenth century, in which New York BAN ON RICE AND OLD SHOES. Young folks living along the line of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway are convinced that it is a mistake to accuse a porpoise of having no souls a carry that is the opinion of the tender beings who are contemplating matrimony. In the first place, the railroad inaugurated a honeymonk special to California some time ago, what in itself was a great aid for popularity with the bridges and bridegrooms to be. But it was nothing in general application to the latest move on the part of the road. This is nothing more nor less than an order forbidding the throwing of rice, old shoes and other wedding accessories in or about Chicago & Northwestern trains. "Something simply had to be done," said an official of the road. "Enthusiastic bridegrooms were carrying things to an extreme and a check was necessary. "Young couples would come down to the train with large satin bows tied on the rear of their carriages, and as they start- ed for the train a terrific storm of rice and old shoes would break loose. Innovations in boarding the same train, but who had not been guilty of anything, not even marriage, would get most of the missiles, and the train will be enforced in the strictest fashion." RUSSIAN UNIVERSITIES BARRED TO WOMEN. One of the most sweeping repressive measures ever attempted by the Czar was promulgated last week when M. Von Kauffman, Minister of Public Instruction, and many students be expelled from Russian universities and none be admitted henceforth. It is known that such a move was unde consideration owing to the revolution, and many students, but there was little idea that such a radical step would be taken. The new edict affects 2,200 women, many of whom are nearing their graduation. The new order fearful sacrifices to obtain an education. Hundreds of women students are going to St. Petersburg and are seeking an audience with the Czar in the hope that he can change the course. The aid of the Duma also bring about the Women for years have fought for the right of admission to the universities. Men students sympathize with the women, and the new order is enforced there undoubtedly be a repetition of the student riots. AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT. One of the most interesting experiments in co-operative living is being tried by a coterie of clever men and women living in New York. They have incorporated unmanned vehicles on the technical floor. They have taken a lease of the fine old brown stone mansion at 3 Fifth avenue, formerly the home of Countess Annie Leary, for a term of six years. She originated with a bright young woman from Chicago, all of the ten incorporators enthusiastically seconded her efforts in the negotiations for the club. All the women and men interested in the experiment are working along so closely that the original originated while none of them is actively engaged in settlement work, take a lively interest in it. It was not with any idea of making a sensation or advertising themselves that this interesting bevy of literary folk and social workers banded together, but simply to try to solve for themselves individually the biggest problem that New Yorkers are called upon to face; the problem of living. One member, discussing the club, said: "We all decided that, rather than try to overcome hygienic problems down here, as all of us are, we would rather large, would take a house where we would not be cramped for room, one which would accommodate our work and investigations with more physical comfort to ourselves. This is to it that we are going to try to work out the problem of living together. Aside from that there isn't any other way to do it, so we enjoy the experiment. It became necessary for us to file articles o; incorporation, as is essential, I believe, when seventh grade take upon themselves the responsibility to be our home, that is all." STUDYING CONDITIONS OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN Mary K. Conngton, representing the Bureau of Labor of the Department of Commerce and Labor at Washington, D.C. and known in the Eastern part of the United States as the Bureau of Labor, came to Indianapolis to investigate conditions among women and children who work. She is now conducting her research on the Bureau of State Charities at the State House. Congress not long ago appropriated $100,000, and later doubled the sum, for the purpose of making investigations of working women. This work was divided into different branches and was assigned to the Bureau of Labor. Competent assistants have been appointed to investigate the cases issued in Indiana is a study of the "Relation Between Occupations and Criminality of Women." This investigation in Indiana is found to be extremely easy, as complete and detailed records have been kept by the Board of State Charities. For the last eight years monthly reports have been reported to the Board of State Institutions. These reports have given the names of the prisoners, the work at which they were employed when they were compulsory to work. This is about the line of information which is desired by the Bureau of Labor. RECORDS COMPLETE. "I have found the records in this office astonishingly complete," said Miss Conyngton. "In fact, they are more complete than we had ever heard of other States I have visited." Explaining the work of the Bureau, Miss Conyngton said: "These reports are expected to show what results have been wrought by women and children rushing into the different cities. In 1853 women opened largely in housework or in school teaching. Since that time they have taken up almost every line of work. The telephone women into the working class. Hundreds of others have taken up telegraphy. Thousands are now stenographers and thousands are working in the factories. It is a fact that since 1853 women since 1853 to determine just what the effect of this rush into the working world has been. Conyngton said she would likely remain in Indiana one week, and possibly longer. For many years she was engaged in charity work in the East and has written a number of books on the subject. The Ohio State Federation of Women's Clubs held their session at Cincinnati this week. The women of Russia and the men of Japan are the most expert needleworkers in the world. The Grand Court, O. O.

A publication of Atlanta, Ga., has the following interesting observation: Perhaps the most important case that has ever come up in any court regarding fraternal orders was that of the white Knights of Pythias against the Negro nKights of Pythias to restrain them from being granted a tion. When men forget all about color charter. The trial was held in Judge Pendleton's court for three days, the jury bringing in a verdict May 27 at 12 o'clock for the petitioners. The Negro organization is known as the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. They are said to have been an order for some fifteen years, the headquarters being located in Washington. Their paraphernalia, insignia and emblems are identical with the white Knights of Pythias. About a month or so ago they applied for a charter. The white Knights of Pythias ordered a petition to restrain them. This was not upheld by Judge Pendleton. His decision was overruled by the Supreme Court and subsequently the case was put to the jury. Fourteen questions were asked the jury regarding the Negro order by the plaintiffs. They answered yes to the question as to whether the proposed corporate name of the defendants was not an infringement on the name of the plaintiffs' association. They answered that it would injure the plaintiffs' property rights in name alone. Questions referring to the emblems being the same and that they were injurious to the white order were answered in the affirmative. The one important question was: Is it true that the use by defendants and their associates of the name under which they are seeking incorporation would work a fraud upon your petitioners and their associates and the public, in that the name under which defendants propose to incorporate is a colorable imitation of the name of the petitioners? This was answered yes. The jury brought in a verdict that the Negro order should be restrained from having a charter in this State. From what is understood, the object of the white K. of P.'s is to kill off the colored organization in the State of Georgia. The case has been appealed and will be continued to the highest court, according to the program of the colored K. of P.'s. The comment from the section is modest and sensible and should appeal to the better natures of men generally. The following is noted: And boiling the opposition down to its last analysis, it reduces itself into an attempt on the part of our neighbors to enjoy the Negroes of Georgia from burying their dead, caring for the slick and dispensing charity out of their own pockets to one another. We are not competing with them. Our existence does not deprive them of any property rights. We do not admit them into our order; we do not ask them to contribute one cent for our relief or to our support, yet our neighbors come into court and ask the authorities to permanently enjoy us from promoting the moral, intellectual, and benevolent welfare of one another, and seek an estopel of the development of the spirit of fraternity among ourselves. Now, this is what our white neighbors seek to do, nothing more and nothing less. There is nothing involved save their sensibilities and personal feelings, and our courts of law and equity have not as yet made a record for airing and amending the personal feelings and sensibilities of any part of the people. We still have faith in the final outcome of the case. We did not expect any other verdict from the jury than the one they rendered. The people always know what the verdict will be when a question of fact is the issue, and all the witnesses on one side are white and those on the other side are black. The verdict was a foregone conclusion and our attorneys feel no disappointment at the result. We have faith in our cause and will win in the end as certainly as truth gets a hearing. As a rule, our courts are honorable and fair and can be depended upon in the end to dispense justice with an equal hand to all men. And now comes this strange story: "In the town of Alacranes, province of Matanzas, Victor Navarro, a Negro lad, arrested on the charge of complicity in the kidnapping of Luisa Valdes, a white child, who recently disappeared from her home, has confessed that the girl was the victim of a band of Brujos, or Negro wizards. He said that he and one of the wizards named Marin, who also has been arrested, entered the house and abducted the girl, who was murdered for the purpose of using the blood of her heart to cure an old Negress of consumption." Sounds rather fakish, yet it is given prominent position in the newspapers. If the circumstances are true, they speak a very serious situation; it shows that the missionary has a very fruitful field in which to work. Such reports do not help the cause of Negroes anywhere, and especially in the United States, where they are at their best and where the struggle for existence is fierce. The heedless will ask, what has all of this harangue to do with the matter? This: all such The Magic Shampoo Hair Drier. happenings are construed to the hurt of Negroes, and sometimes there is a method in it.

The Magi This circular, describing the Magic Shampoo Drier and Hair Straightener, should appeal to every lady who takes pride in having a beautiful hair 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 having had an opportunity to test its merits. It will straighten curly hair without injuring the hair on itself. 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 on 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 straightened nicely, thereby making it look beautiful and natural in appearance. Its solitary article is as much necessary 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. 手指 Straighten Your Hair DEN SIRL—I have your pomade and it is simply fine.

Why not invest in College Heights? The Fighting Chance. BY ROBERT W. CHAMBERS. Copyright, 1908, by the Curtis Publishing Company. Copyright, 1908, by Robert W. Chambers. [CONTINUED.] "I don't think you are perfectly sane yet," said Plank slowly. "Let it go at that, then," sniggered Mortimer, struggling to his feet. "Bring Lelia back. I'm all in. I'm going home. You'll be around in the morning. Won't you? "Yes," said Plank. "Have you got a cab?" Mortimer had one. The glass and iron doors clanged behind him, and Plank, walking a moment, sighed, raised his head and, encountering the curious gaze of a servant, trudged off upstairs again. The game had ended at both tables. Quarrier and Agatha stood by the window together, conversing in low volces, Belwether, at a desk, sat muttering and fussing with a check book. The others were in Sylvia's apartments. A few moments later Kemp Ferrall arrived in the best of spirits, very much inclined to consider the night as still young, but his enthusiasm met with no response, and presently he departed with his wife and Marion in their big car. Lella, in her wraps, emerged in a few moments, looking at Plank out of serious eyes, and they made their brief adieux and went away in Plank's brougham. When Agatha's maid arrived Quarrier also started to take his leave, but Sylvia, seated at a card table, idly arranging the cards in geometrical designs and fanciful arabesques, looked up at him, saying: "I wanted to say something to you, Howard." Agatha passed them, going into Sylvia's room for her wraps, and Quarrier turned to Sylvia. "Well?" he said, with the slightest hat of impatience. "Can't you stay a minute?" asked Sylvia, surprised. "Agatha is going in the motor with me. Is it anything important?" She considered him without replying. She had never before detected that manner, that hardness in a voice always so even in quality. "What is it?" he repeated. What is it? he repeated. She thought a moment, putting aside for the time his manner, which she could not comprehend. Then: "I wanted to ask you a question—a rather ignorant one perhaps. It's about your Amalgamated Electric company. May I ask it, Howard?" After a second's stare, "Certainly," he said "It's only this: If the other people—the intercounter, I mean—are slowly ruining Amalgamated, why don't you stop it?" Quarrier's eyes narrowed. "Oh! And who have you been discussing the matter with?" "Mr. Plank," she said simply. "I asked him. He shook his head and said I'd better ask you. And I do ask you." For a moment he stood mute. Then his lips began to shrink back over his beautiful teeth in one of his rare laughs. "I'll be very glad to explain it some day," he said, but there was no milrth in his voice or eyes, only the snuckering lip wrinkling the pallor. "Will you not answer now?" she asked. "No, not now. But I desire you to understand it some day—some day before November. And one or two other matters that it is necessary for you to understand. I want to explain them, Sylvia, in such a manner that you will never be likely to forget them. And I mean to. For they are never out of my mind, and I wish them to be as inefaceably impressed on yours. Good night." He took her limp hand almost briskly, released it and stepped down the stairs as Agatha entered, cloaked, to say good night. They kissed at parting—"life embracing death"—as Mortimer had sneered on a similar occasion. Then Sylvia, alone, stood in her bedroom, hands linked behind her, her lovely head bent, groping with the very ghosts of thought which eluded her, fleeing, vanishing, reappearing, to peep out at her only to fade into nothing ere she could follow where they flitted through the dark labyrinths of memory. The major, craning his neck in the bay window, saw Agatha and Quarrier enter the big yellow motor and disappear behind the limousine. And it worried him hortibly, because he knew perfectly well that Quarrier had lied to him about a jeweled collar precisely like the collar worn by Agatha Calthness, and what to do or say to anybody on the subject was for the first time in his life utterly beyond his garrulous ability. Another matter. He had violated his word and had been caught at it by his prospective nephew-in-law—broken his pledged word not to sell his Amalgamated Electric holdings, and had done it. Yet how could Plank dominate unless another also had done what he had done? And it made him a little more comfortable to know he was sharing the fault with somebody—probably with Siward, whom he had the luxury of despising for the very thing he himself had done. "Drunkard!" he muttered to himself. "He's in the gutter at last!" And he repeated it unctuously, almost reconciled to his own shortcoming, because it was the first time, as far as he knew, that a Belwether might legitimately enjoy the pleasures of holding the word of a Siward in contempt. Sylvia had dismissed her maid, the old feeling of distaste for the touch of another had returned since the last mad, crushed embrace in Siward's arms had become a memory. Now, blue eyes dreaming under the bright masses of her loosened hair, she sat watching the last glimmer amid the ashes whitening on the hearth, thinking of Siward and of what had been between them and of what could never be—never, never be! One red spark among the ashes—her ambition, deathless amid the ashes of life! When that, too, went out life must be extinct. What he had roused in her had died when he went away. It could never awake when unless he returned to awaken it. And he never would. He would never come again. One brief interlude of love, of passion, in her life could neither tint nor taint the cool, normal sequence of her days. All that life held for a woman of her caste—all save that—was hers when she stretched out her hand for it—hers by right of succession, of descent; hers by warrant unquestioned, by the unuttered text of the ukase to be launched if necessary, by that very, very old lady, drowsing, enthroned, as the endless pageant wound like a jeweled river at her feet. So Sliward could never come again, sauntering toward her through the sunlight, smiling his absent smile. She caught her breath painfully, straightening up. A single ash fell in the fire. The last spark went out. CHAPTER ELEVEN THE park was very misty and damp and still that February morning. Far away on the wooded bridle path the dulled double gallop of horses sounded, now muffled in a hollow, now louder, jarring the rising ground, nearer, heavier, then suddenly checked to a trample, as Sylvia drew bridle by the reservoir and, straightening in her saddle, raised her flushed face to the sky. Jacques Jong "Rain?" she asked as Quarrier, controlling his beautiful, restive horse, The dulled double gallop of horses sounded. His beautiful, restive horse, ranged up alongside of her. "Probably," he said, scarcely glancing at the sky, where, above the great rectangular lagoons, hundreds of sea gulls, high in the air, hung flapping, stemming some rushing upper gale unfelt below. On their daily rides together it was her custom to discuss practical matters concerning their future, and it was his custom to listen until pressed for a suggestion, an assent or a reply. Sparing words—cautious, chary of self commitment and seldom offering to assume the initiative—this was the surface character which she had come to recognize and acquiesce in. This was Quarrier as he had been developed from her hazy, preconceived ideas of the man before she had finally accepted him at Shotover the autumn before. She also knew him as a methodical man, exacting from others the orderly precision which characterized his own dealings. A man of education and little learning, of attainments and little cultivation, conversant with usages, formal, intensely sensitive to ridicule, incapable of humor. This was Quarrier as she knew him or had known him. Recently she had. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER little by little, become aware of an indefinable change in the man. For one thing, he had grown more reticent. At times, too, his reserve seemed to have something almost surly about it. Under his cold compose a hint of something concealed, watchful and very quiet. Confidence she had never looked for in him nor desired. It appalled her at moments to realize how little they had in common and that only on the surface—a communion of superficial interest incident to the fulfillment of social duties and the pursuit of pleasure. Beyond that she knew nothing of him, required nothing of him. What was there to know? What to require? Now that the main line of her route through life had been surveyed and carefully laid out, what was there more for her in life than to set out upon her progress? It was her own road. Presumptive leader already, logical leader from the day she married—leader, in fact, when the ukase, her future legacy, so decreed. It was a royal road laid out for her through the gardens and pleasant places. A road for her alone, and over it she had chosen to pass. What more was there to desire? From the going of Siward all that he had aroused in her of love, of intel- Suggs Without reason, through and through her shot a shiver of loneliness—utter loneliness and isolation. Without reason, because from him she expected nothing, required nothing, except what he offered—the emotionless reticence of indifference, the composure of perfect formality. What did she want, then—companions? She had them. Friends? She could scarcely escape from them. Intimates? She had only to choose one or a hundred attuned responsive to her every mood, every caprice. Lonely? With the men of New York crowding, shouldering, crushing their way to her feet? Lonely? With the women of New York struggling already for precedence in her favor?—omen significant of the days to come, of those future years diamond linked in one unbroken, triumphant glitter. "About that Amalgamated Electric company," she began without prelude. "Would you mind answering a question or two, Howard?" "You could not understand it," he said, unpleasantly disturbed by her abruptness. "As you please. It is quite true I can make nothing of what the newspapers are saying about it, except that Mr. Plank seems to be doing a number of things." "Injunctions and other matters," observed Quarrier. "Is anybody going to lose any money in it?" "Who, for example?" "Why—you, for example," she said, laughing. "I don't expect to." "Then it is going to turn out all right? And Mr. Plank and Kemp Ferrall and the major and—the other people interested are not going to be almost ruined by the Intercounty people?" "Do you think a man like Plank is likely to be ruined, as you say, by Amalgamated Electric?" "No. But Kemp and the major"— "I think the major is out of danger," replied Quarrier, looking at her with the new, suilen narrowing of his eyes. "I am glad of that. Is Kemp—and the others?" "Ferrall could stand it if matters go wrong. What others?" "Why—the other owners and stock-holders"— "What others? Who do you mean?" "Mr. Siward, for example," she said in an even voice, leaning over to pat her horse's neck with her gloved hand. "Mr. Siward must take the chances we all take." observed Quarrier. "But, Howard, it would really mean ruin for him if matters went badly. Wouldn't it?" "I am not familiar with the details of Mr. Slward's investments." "Nor am I," she said slowly. She spoke about other things. He responded in his impassive manner. Presently she turned her horse, and Quarrier wheeled his, facing a warm, fine rain slanting thickly from the south. His silky Vandyke beard was all wet with the moisture. She noticed it, and unbidden arose the vision of the gunroom at Shotover — Quarrier's soft beard wet with rain, the phantoms of people passing and repassing, Siward's straight figure swinging past, silhouetted against the glare of light from the billiard room. And here she made an effort to efface the vision, shutting her eyes as she rode there in the rain, but clearly against the closed lids she saw the phantoms passing — specters of dead hours, the wrath of an old happiness masked with youth and wearing Siward's features! She saw herself beside him among the cushions; tasted again the rose petals that her lips had stripped from the blossoms; saw once more the dawn of something in his steady eyes; felt his arm about her, his breath— Her horse, suddenly spurred, bounded forward through the rain, and she rode breathless, with her lips half parted, as if afraid, turning her head to look behind—as though she could outride the phantom clinging to her stirrup, masked like youth, wearing the shadowy eyes of love! * * * * * * * * An hour later, fresh from her bath, luxurious in loose and filmy lace, her small white feet shod with silk, she lunched alone, cradled among the cushions of her couch. Twice she strolled through the rooms leisurely, summoned by her maid to the telephone, the first time to chat with Grace Ferrall, who, it appeared, was a victim of dissipation, being still abed, and out of humor with the rainy world; the second time to answer in the negative Marion's suggestion that she motor to Lakewood with her for the week's end before they closed their house. Sauntering back again, she sipped her milk and vichy, tasted the strawberries, tasted a big black grape, discarded both and lay back among the cushions, her naked arms clasped behind her head, and, dropping one knee over the other, stared at the ceiling. The room was very still and dim, but the clamor in her brain unnerved her, and she sat up among the cushions, looking vacantly about her with the blue, confused eyes, the direct, unseeing gaze of a child roused by a half heard call. The call-low, imperative, sustained—continued softly persistent against her windows, the summons of the young year's rain. She went to the window and stood among the filmy curtains, looking out into the mist. A springlike aroma penetrated the room. She opened the window a little way, and the sweet, virile odor enveloped her. (Continued next week.) AT TUSKEGEE. The commencement exercises at Tuskegee are generally full of attractive features. The twenty-seventh annual commencement held last week was of no less significance than those of previous years. The work during the year has been of importance, attendance greatly increased, and the experience of past years contributed greatly to the interest of the work. From elsewhere we glean the following information: The number of students enrolled this year is about the same as last year and for several years past. The boarding students have reached 1,621—1,085 young men, 536 young women. Counting students in Tuskegee town night school and the town cooking school, with children enrolled in the "children's house" or training school for teachers, the total number is very near the 2,000 mark. Thirty-eight States and Territories and twenty-one foreign countries have been represented. Alabama leads with 498; Georgia, 200; other States with 50 and over, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas. From Central and South America, the West Indies and Africa, the number of students and interest is steadily increasing. Cuba, Jamaica and Porto Rico show the largest increase. Five are present from Africa and one from Japan. . . Among those present was ex-President G. W. Gibson, of Liberia. The year has been one of marked improvements. The greenhouse has been nearly doubled in size. The printing office has secured its long-sought large "Optimus" press and a linotype machine. A responsible company is putting in a system of waterworks to be supplied from artesian wells. They guarantee a minimum supply of 250,000 gallons of water per day. Large additions have been made to the orchard, strawberry culture has received a new impetus and large attention has been given to figs and vineyards, 6,000 quarts of strawberries have been picked to date. The horse barns have been enlarged and improved and poultry raising and bee culture have been put on a much better basis. The large dining-rooms and kitchens for teachers and students will soon be ready for use. The "Alexander Moss White Memorial" dormitory for girls to cost $50,000 is in the second story. Efforts are constantly being made to improve the internal work of the school. The very best teachers are sought for every department and every effort is made to make the industrial and literary supplement each other. Several hundred students remain at the school during the summer and work on the farm and in the various shops. Provision has been made this year by which those who have been conditioned in any study, or who wish to pursue a subject further, can do so in the night school. Careful note of their work will be made and they will receive credit for it on their regular course. Many are planning to take advantage of this. For those who work on the farm there will be not only the practical work, but each one will receive instruction in the theory as well. In this way the 1,000 acres cultivated will become a great experiment farm, and work in the barns, in the dairy, orchards or truck garden will afford knowledge as well as labor. Tuskegee has had a long line of famous men for its commencement preachers. They have entered into the traditions of the school. For immediate, impressive effect none of their sermons have surpassed the one delivered by Dr. Len G. Broughton, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, Atlanta, last Sunday. His text was, Mary, x:21: "One thing thou lackest." His subject, "The Minus Sign in Character." His reputation as a distinguished preacher had preceded him and the chapel was full to overflowing. Dr. Broughton spent Monday at the school and expressed himself as astonished beyond measure at what he had seen. He said that in the last few years he had traveled in three continents, but in no place had he been where he did not find people eager to learn about Tuskegee. He said he counted it a great privilege to see so famous a school and a great honor to be called to preach its commencement sermon. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The students have paid in cash during the year about $25,000 and in labor over $100,000. Eighty-eight received diplomas from the normal department; eighty-seven received a certificate for the completion of some trade, making a total of 175 diplomas and certificates. Quite a number won both certificates and diplomas and some received two certificates. The 175 papers represent 110 different persons. Many of the seniors received trade certificates last year. One graduated from the nurse training department. The work of the hospital has been very large, and many young people have attended the nurse training course. The facilities afforded in this training school were never better than now and each year the reputation of the nurses graduating increases. MAKING A NAME FOR ITSELF. The Western Association of Negro Editors which met in Des Moines, Ia., last week passed a set of resolutions which in the main will tend to inspire the idea of self-help among the race. A few of the resolutions are remarkable in that they in a manner take cognizance of the past few years of the race's existence, and are indicative of the fact that the route to progress has not been trod as freely as it should have been. This is plainly seen in the following: "First. That we hope that the two hundred or more newspapers and magazines published by our race throughout the country will give more space in urging the race to engage in farming, in conducting business enterprises, in the purchasing of homes and in the participation in public and general reforms as will result in the good of all the people regardless or race, creed or color." It expressed itself in a most conservative manner on the Brownsville affair, especially when contrasted with the violent outbursts from some quarters: "Fourth. We commend Senator Foraker, of Ohio, in his manly stand that he has taken in regard to the Brownsville affair. "Fifth. That as there has been no evidence of guilt so far found that can connect the colored soldier with the shooting up of Brownsville, be it resolved, "That we urge Congress to take such steps that will restore the company to their original standing in the army, and also that they secure all back pay for the time that they have been out." The association did not fail to give the President credit for his move in the separate coach matter: "Sixth. That we commend President Roosevelt in ordering the enforcement of the interstate commerce law in reference to passengers in the South so that it will apply to the white and black alike, and we urge the enforcement of the same." It urged that the Southern people coming northward turn their faces to the West before it became too late to own land. Congress is implored to correct the election abuses in the South or reduce the representation. Many other good, wholesome suggestions emanated from the body, all of which bespeaks the spirit of saneness in affairs as they pertain to the two races. The association members were full of the idea that the Negro must do his utmost to free himself, trusting that the effort will be recognized and appreciated. Their views were of the advanced Negro thought of today, indicative of the deep sense of responsibility on those who help fashion thought and mold sentiment. The East may well turn to the West for its ideas in the hope to make the best of the struggle. The following people were in attendance at the meetings of the association: W. Sampson Brooks, Des Moines; Edna Martin, Ottumwa; Mayme Richardson, Galesburg, Ill.; May Davis, Albia; Rev. H. W. Porter; Des Moines; A. G. Clark, Oskaloosa; Rev. A. L. De Mond, Buxton; Eva Parker, Albia; John L. Thompson, Des Moines; Nick Childs, Topeka; J. P Bass, Helena, Mont.; Rev. Ellijah B Gelger, Mrs. G. S. Johnson, Miss Frances Walker, H. E. Jacobs, W. W. H. Merrick, E. T. Banks, Jeff Logan, William Coalson, Ed Thompson, Des Moines; E. F. Barton, Washington, D. C.; Rev. T. G. Griffith, Des Moines; George H. Woodson, Oskaloosa; Rev. S. Bates, J. B.

Phelidar Sheridan's "City Sports" will not carry colored people next season. It was Mr. Sheridan's intention to have his organization equally divided, but he has made a statement affirming that the eastern cities would object, and perhaps the white artists objected, also. Prof. N. Clark Smith, bandmaster at Theological Institute, gave a program at St. Burch Church, last Monday night, giving a lecture on "The Origin of Music and the History of Musical Instruments" and performing on fifteen different instruments accompanied on the plaster Mrs. Smith.

LONDON "STAGE JOHNNIES" TOOTH-MAD. The casual visitor to a musical comedy show in London is at first bewildered at the rows upon rows of gleaming teeth. The succumbs to the insidious charm of theeries and begins to judge all female chameleons to admiration by the number and visibility of their faces. The Johnmies who fill the stalls are tooth-mad. They fix their vacuous but passionate gaze no longer on the ankles of their charmers, but on their teeth, and the intense responding to the popular demand, the grin, one and all, like the faded Cheshire. MRS. SAM LUCAS DEAD Mrs. Sam Lucas, the wife of Sam Lucas the well-known actor and comedian, lost and killed in Providence, R. L. Moore, to Harry Roberts, who also wounded Mrs. Eleanor Edmunds and killed himself, Mrs. Edmunds kept a camera in Winter Avenue, and Roberts worked with her, and Mrs. Lucas was minded as seamstress. Roberts' mind, it is thought, had been unbalanced for some time, account of the use of too much liquor in frequent occasions. At the time of her death with Mrs. Lucas was known as Mrs. Lloyd. THE FLORIDA BLOSSOMS. Florida Blossoms have just closed another successful week and everybody is in the best mood. Both the show and band are named Florida, Virginia, and everybody says "Come again." Carrier is still generalizing the work in the stage and is the favorite, not only with the members of the company, but wherever it receives the praise and benediction of everybody in accord with the work. No addition has been made to the performers, our last writing, but the band has been made more valuable to the members of Macon, Wm. Jennings, of Knox, and Ralph Thompson, of Rome, which is very valuable addition to the band is Wm. Law of Macon, whose tremendous work is commanding the admiration of everybody. Edith Banks and Mrs. Maud Barnes wish to be remembered to friends. BUCCESSFUL ORCHESTRA OF HATTIESBURG, MISS. Big Four String Band, with Prof. W.

We are still in North Carolina and doing a good business, and will go into Virginia this week. We have a better show and band than we have ever had before, and we have a fine time at Greenborest July 4. H. S. Smith is singing "Epiphair Johnson" Don't Live Here No More" with great success. Jennie Lee, our singing and comedy team, is singing the house screaming on night. The Williams, assisted by the quartet, is singing "Home Sweet Home Sounds Good to Me" and "What a Time." We are making a hit with "Nothing Ever Hardly Ever Troubles Me." Thomas Downs, our silvertoned singer, is scoring nightly singing "When the Springtime Brings the Roses, Jessie Dawn, John DeMuni is making stage Dawn." T. J. Not Not Not, the manager has spared no pains in providing a good show. R. Adams La Rose, our female impersonator, is meeting with much success, keeping them guessing. T. J. the bunch sends a message to all friends. Our J. H. McCameron, is out on a pleasure trip and is expected to go to Texas soon. He Is a Real Playwright and Stage Director. J. Ed Green, the subject of this sketch, is deserving of special mention for his young man, and had the extreme good "sense" to be born in Indiana, a state which has sent more people into promiscuity than any other state. Union. If one gives matter sufficient thought, the assertion will not appear vain or idle. Mr. Green is not merely a promiscuous man, but an engaged in the work in which he has been engaged for a dozen or more years. He, as an individual, is the result of a happy com-munity. He is a man of great intelligence which he possesses in a goodly degree, is A. added wit, rare discernment, which sees all, and at once, and with a fine sense of discrimination, having good voice, good humor, and a keen sense of the rest was comparatively easy. It does not mean that Mr. Green has not worked for that is just what he has done in order to make the exalted American Negro the rest was comparatively easy. It does not mean to say that he was possessed with good qualities on which to build one of those rare times, and with great intervals between, and who discovered in himself his talents and proceeded to work them for all they were worth. He was a producer of plays—a stage director, and in the best sense. The best critics unreservedly tender him the compliment one insists noted by him was simply marvelous. The best shows in the country by colored performers have felt the influence of Kostner's "Bufus Rastus" was put on by Green; the "Smart Set" was reconstructed by him. Besides these, stage actors have shown by numerous performers, not to speak of his numerous productions at the Pekin and Columbia Theaters of Chicago, where he has been seen at his performances, his every "Captain Rufus Rastus," by Mr. Green, was a great success in Chicago—and New York—running periods that were flattering to the author and stage director, doing much to give him his fixed place in the world to actors and theater goers. Captain Kurtus' was a musical comedy, said to be one of the very best on the stage. It was produced early in the career of the Pekin, and when it helped to give that theater elat and standings.

A. 2 Washington, 3d. 1 0 2 7 The Chicago papers are very generous, noting the Pekin Theater, and also the Columbia, another one of Mr. Motts's publications. Another one of Mr. Motts's, Mr. Ed Green in his act in real life—rushing from either of these theaters to the over in an automobile order to order the play at the theater he conducted at both the theaters at the same time. It took a genius like him to work out the puzzle. He hit on the happy plan to put the play in the bit of stagecraft in itself. In fact, the press notices pretty much whatever he does in a public way. He hit on Mr. Green and his well-known stock company, has presented the Chicago theater-goers many beautiful illustrations of life, in all its phases, throughout the total gamut of the business, including those higher and refining touches that appeal to the loftiest thought, some tragedy, the drama, comic opera, classic opera and the rest of it have worked their way from under the hand of the master to the floodgate of appreciation. Mr. Green has the reputation of being the most versatile Negro in stage life, with a reputation for being the highest order. In him are all of those elements that go to make up a successful stage manager. He has had the varied experiences. At a moment's notice is he to work with women, and with women's perhaps, and more than likely he can do some clever female impersonation. He presents with considerable pride a book of lyrics done in collaboration with the stage company of verses show ability, and especially the kind that will give them a go when produced on the stage. Many of them will make hits, and some of them may make big hits. Mr. Green has succeeded in organizing a social organization among the stage people of Chicago. It has in mind the physical intellect of the mind of the stage people. The institution thrives from the jump, proving a help in the way contemplated, thus again showing the usefulness of the promoter, who is interested in the stage people whether on the stage It is not too much to say that the author, playwright, director, promoter, has done more than his part in making for the theater than he did for the people now stand. He is genial, kindly, being sometimes characterized as the Neo-Grochesterfield, which says much for his involvement in the view of his varied duties incident to his connection with the colored theaters of Chicago. "KENTUCK" IS HUMBLED --- A. B. C.'S TAKE FOUR OUT THE FIVE GAMES Perhaps one of the most interesting and quite the most exciting series of games in the history of semi-professional baseball in Indianapolis was pulled off last Saturn's game, where testants were the ambitious Giants, of Louisville, and the famous A. B. C.'s, of this city. They clashed in five consecutive games, and four of the series, allowing the visitors to get away with the stubbornly fought and every inch of the ground contended for. The series was replete with splendid exhibitions of fast fielding long hitting and sensational catches, many of them bordering on the circus variety. The fielding was contested equally divided between Robinson, of the Louisville, and Todd, of the locals, both making phenomenal catches several times during the contest. The fielding were divided between Merida, the locals, and Watson of the Louisville. The series was made extremely popular owing to the rivalry between the two teams, who were the their respective States in the ranks of colored semi-professional clubs. The Louisville boys had more than two-thirds of the points they won and them to win at all stages. This was due to the fact that most colored people now living in Indianapolis at one time or another, and the slaughter in portion of Kentucky. All of the encouragement thus received, however, could not stay the awful onslaught of the invincible team, and the slaughter was much fully on. When the smoke of battle finally subsided there were many saddened hearts and empty purses—the silent trophies the fray. The complete box scores follow: SUNDAY GAMES. First Game. A. B. C. s.

The coming series with the New Yorks is anxiously awaited. Four out of five from the Giants—well, who would have thought it? We would not mind seeing Robinson of the Louisvilles wearing an A. B. C. uniform. Shawler, the ex A. B. C. left fielder, is sorter missed in the outer garden of the locals. Al Brown, Stringer Black and Wm. H. Taylor, well-known colonels, were with the Giants. "Big Boy" and Allen were the long distance hitters, both knocking the ball over the left field fence. Manager Butler of the A. B. C.'s was somewhat disappointed, as he had expected to take the series. Left fielder Robinson of the Giants pulled off some fielding stunts that have never been equalled in the Northwestern Park. The "mighty" Demus cavorted around the second bag for the Giants in a manner that shows marked improvement over his work last season. The "mighty" Demas was remembered by his last year's work and was a favorite with the crowds. His fast fielding and timely battery were features. Coleman, the Giants' catcher, has speed to burn. He turned many of the locals back seasick. He wilted Sunday, but Demas dropped the throw. Little Griffin would have been happy could he have won his Sunday game. He pitched both bases and G's but four hits. His support was very ragged. Highee, the side wheeler of the locals, pitched both bases and G's but four hits. His support was very ragged. Highee, the side wheeler of the locals, pitched both bases and G's but four hits. His support was very ragged. Manager Lancaster was very much put out after the two defeats Monday. The Giants were up against a hard proposition but wait till they get the local team on their own lot July 26 and 27—then there he be sootting doing in "Butcher-town." --- Little "Griff" the ex A. B. C. twirler of last year's fame, has been given the opportunity to be jogging along fairly well under the circumstances, considering that he was but a raw inexperience recruit when he was acquired by the A. B. C.'s last season. Rowdy and dirty ball playing should be condemned. The umpires in semi-professional play are be empowered a little more ability to publish a way that they could feel it. Thus would the game be elevated and the public relieved from hypodrome stunts by cadish players. Merida, the captain and second baseman of the A. B. C.'s, is the greatest around player in the semi-professional league. This is the terror of all pitchers. His long hitting is attracting the attention of the entire Middle West and if he were a white man would be in one of the professional leagues. The new short stop the Louisville sprint in the opening game would not burn up any special brilliance playing the position. He did not come up to the standard his tutting led us to expect. There is much for him to learn in the game and he must attempt to take a base on a foul fly. Todd is the candy as a third sacker. He is ever in the game and always on his toes to win. Some of his tactics, however, could be eliminated to the better-ball player, but will not long tolerate unfair methods. He should remember that all games are not played on our own grounds. The coming contest between the A. B. C's and the Giants later in the season promises to be another stella event in Collegiate baseball. All games will be played in Louisville and no THEATRICAL ENGRAVING QUALITY RIGHT PRICES RIGHT INDIANAPOLIS ENGRAVING & ELECT. CO. P. O. Box 103. MENTION THE FREEMAN INDIANAPOLIS IND.

Enjoyed so much on the swat, followed in succession by three more bingles, which netted in all five runs, tieing the score for Indianapolis. The Giants packed up their belongings and were preparing to walk off the field the result of an objectionable decision on the part of the umpire in the first game of the season. The Giants were straightened out, however, and both umpires deposed and Puryear, the popular indicator handler who officiated last season, was called from the crowd and in turn, the consent to take charge of the contest single handed. He gave general satisfaction. * PLUTOS AND LOUISEVILLE GIANTS WILL CROSS BATS Special to THE FREEMAN LOUISVILLE. Ky. July. 7—The Plutos, a mixed team of baseball players, will play the Louisville Giants here Sunday, at Spring Bank Ball Park, Thirty-eighth and Greenwood avenue. Both are top-notchers, and one of the snappiest and fastest games of the season is expected to be played by these teams. --- The Reccius and the Louisville Giants played a double-header here July 4, at the Reccius Park. Both games were very interesting and fast. The Reccius won six, the second, 3, and the second, 10 to 6, was in favor of the Giants. The attendance was 1500. --- The Cleveland Giants played a fast and supply game here Sunday at the Union Park. They won 11-0 boys and lost by a score of 8 to 7. There was an attendance of 500. The Giants won 11-0 games in the parks, and then go through Ohio and play a number of white teams. Baseball fever is very high in Louisville. There are two semi-professional teams in this city, and both have parks and a game in the field. Both teams are composed of good players and give the rooters a run for their money. Generally the umpires decision are fair, and seldom is a team's best. The team's criticism that can be registered against the teams is the unbusinesslike playing of the players. Some few of the players would give these players a lecture and cut a lot of caners before "de white folks" in order to get cheers from the rooters. It would be well if the managers would give these players a lecture and cut a lot of caners before act like end men in a minstrel. The people co emt to see good ball playing and not an open-air vaudeville, show on the diagonals of a monkey business, continues to be exhibited on business balls it will soon be seen that some of the crowds will fall off. Let the boys play baseball, and the worth, like the white teams. The Freeman is on sale each Sunday at the games. ATLANTA AND CHATTANOOGA SPLIT. Special to THE FREEMAN ATLANTA, Ga., July 3.—Two of the strongest games of the season were pulled off here on June 29 and 30, at Luna Park, before over 500 spectators. A feature by Third Baseman H. Jackson, who saved his team from getting the same results as did Rome. The score went down as visitors lost this game on the errors of Right Fielder Long and Shortstop Sanders. A second game was attended by more than 3,000 fans, who saw Chattanooga return the compliments in splendid style. When Pitcher Lus, with his pearly teeth and mighty arm, shot them, there was but one difference: he was home plate, and then not until the ninth inning, but he gave no Atlanta man a base on balls. The greatest play of the season was nooga's second baseman. A hot liner was knocked between first and second bases, and Burke, in his run for it, fell on the base. Outstretched arms stopped the ball, and, rising to a sitting position, delivered it to first in time to head off the runner. Chattanooga team loses game with outstretched arms in favor. First Baseman Hill, of the Chattanooga team, is doing great work this season, having few to equal him in this section of the country, so claim many ball fans. He is expected that he will sign up with an Eastern team for next season, as he is a wonder. GANS REFUSES TO SIGN FOR FIGHT IN NEVADA Old Champion Says He Does Not Want Finish Encounter Only for the Loser's End. Special to THE FREEMAN. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 7 — Joe Gans showed his age more to day than at any time since he became the "Grand Old Man" of the Gans between Gans and his manager, Battling Nelson, his conqueror, and the latter's business representative and the agent for the Gans, the fight promoters, the ood man refused to sign for a finish fight there with Nelson.

I don't expect to get a snap, I want no easy thing; For example I don't care a rap, I'll take an ban- I calculate I'll have to sweat— It's right, I guess I should; But I don't care what knocks I get If I can just make good. If there's a hard old game to beat A man can have some fun. And then there's nothing half so sweet As you've won, you've won. And so, however hard and tough, I'll keep on sawing wood; I don't intend to make a bluff, I'm bent on making good. I hope that I can make it pay; I'd like to mighty well; "Blind Tom" has probably "died" for the last time. This country has yet to deal with a Negro anarchist. To "make good" is a debt every man owes to his backers. Are you buying a home? are you going into business? or are you carrying a bank account? Governor P. B. S. Pinchback was a tall figure at the Chicago convention—indeed, the "noblest Roman of them all." Those who have been "on the job" a long time are ready to bear witness that "race leadership" is "in clinch." The progressive Negro business man advertises liberally. Printer's ink is 'not an expense'; it is an investment. The change of landlords at the White House next March will not make Booker T. Washington a less welcome visitor. It is too much to expect peace from folks whose bread and butter depend upon the amount of strife they can create. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, Press Wilbur Patterson Thirkeld of Howard University is doing an ever-increasing business at the old school. A leader's place in history should not be predicated upon a single mistake, but upon a series of constructive achievements that he has made. To the average newspaper man, the delinquent subscriber and the insatiable seeker after free advertising run neck-and-neck as "undesirable citizens." Editor Roscoe Concole Simmons climbed onto the Taft bandwagon a little late, but a fairly comfortable seat was found for him by his ever-faithful friends. We are wondering if the Rev. J. Milton Waldron has prayed with himself sufficiently in his secret closet and concluded to be happy over the results of the Chicago convention. The unlettered Negro who buys land and builds a home has done a bigger task than the homeless genius who has written a brilliant epic or preached a glittering sermon. It is sincerely hoped that during his recent visit to Louisville Dr. Booker T. Washington managed to conduct himself in such a way as to win the approval of the Kentucky Standard. Even if John A. Johnson should be nominated and elected President, he will be a downwardly ranked Jennings Bryan to control the rebel hordes to whom he would hew his victory. It will be well to keep your weather eye on that astute, resourceful and indefatigable master of political science, Charles W. Anderson, when you make up your little "dope sheet" for the future. Bishop Lampton will now have the chance of his life to provide "Rev." Tom Logan with a suitable pulpit down in Mississippi, where the latter's well-known talents as a revivalist can have full play. It is the party of William Jennings Bryan—not that of William Howard Taft—that enacts distranchising laws in the South and insists upon Jim-crow street calls for Negroes in the District of Columbia. It is possible to reason with anybody—except the woman who has made a failure in her matrimonial life and the man who has failed to land the office he wants, or are invariably too "sore" to be comforted. When attention is called to the fact that William Gordon, a Chicago waiter, has amassed a fortune of $25,000, we are apt to forget that table waiting is called a "menial" occupation by some of our would-be "dicty" folks. Most of Harvard's colored graduates are a credit to their alma mater. The majority of our folks who threaten to seek a divorce from the Republican party allege "failure to provide" in their bill of complaint. An exposition is to be held at Quito, Ecuador, on the hundredth anniversary of the independence of Ecuador. Thus another chance for the limelight is opened for the Hon. Gles. B. Jackson. With the Brownsville embroglio well on the road to settlement, we are still in trouble, because the soulless meat trust is putting roast beef and pork chops too high in drinks to reach. We want some vigorous trust-busting along with our civil rights. Americans who see with the eye of reason and not with the orb of prejudice will take the estimate that Nigro's armor and the Carnegie, Bryce and Justice Brewer, rather than from such fellows as Tillman, Vardaman, Davis and Heflin. No fault can be found with the "club woman" who is able to attend to her multifarious club duties—and at one and the same time see to it that her children's mother is kept well groomed that her husband is kept well groomed, and her home kept in a tidy condition. Radicalism and conservatism are natural and complementary forces in our social system. Like the centrifugal and centripetal forces we learn about in physics, the one moves outward and onward, while the other holds the entire system true to a central, definite purpose. After about six weeks of litigation, after its suspension, the Rising Sun, of Kansas City, has been revived by its former editor, W. T. Washington. Kansas City is a fine town and its thousands of successful race pride to strongly support a paper of their own. The Boston Guardian, with a persistence that is as heroic as it is untimely, is determined to force a public office upon detritus from the city, wiser than says "Nay, nay, Pauline," and remembers the inunction of the ancient philosopher: "Beware of the Greeks, though they come bearing gifts!" Office-holding is a sin which most of us are anxious to commit; yet, those of us who have no opportunity to be guilty of this monstrous crime are slow to forgive the fellows who permit themselves to be guilty, and like Recorder Dancy, persist in their brazen conduct, in season and out of season. The colored brother is determined that the male man should have a monopoly of the matter of running "trusts," and in the matter of imitation he can be an "octopus" or any other old thing. George Jones, a successful Negro business man of Kansas City, is the owner of a grocery and tobacco emporium, a confectioner, and is a mover packer and --- . . . --- shipper. He employs more colored men and women than any other business man of the race in Kansas City, and his payroll per week is over $200. A Negro Associated Press would give the Negro race a square deal—a compromise on the design of the newspaper who control the existing Associated Press service. Such a venture would prove highly beneficial and would be sure to succeed—if the colored press would be willing to nominal sum for the valuable matter it would send out. Senator Foraker utters not a whimper over the colorful press but hastens grid up his loans, gives it out broadcast that he is the soul of "regularity," and announces that the ticket of his party is his ticket. He thus sets an example of confidence that should not be lost up some superservice and ultra-radical followers. Dr. John F. Moreland has taken hold of the A. M. E. Zion Brotherhood and delights in the work-up of his and is "making a noise" like a man who proposes to his bureau one of the most important and most useful branches of his connection. The work of providing or working up the newspapers and their windows and orphans is one that cannot be too high commended. William Howard Taft has the courage of his convictions, and is not afraid to speak out, no matter if a few sickly sentimentalists or supersensitive idealists and then force a purification of the polluted social and economic life of a nation. Plain speech is frequently necessary to burst bubbles that contain foul gas, and thus force a purification of the polluted social and economic life of a nation. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis is adding much new material to her repertoire of readings for the coming season, commingling Shakespearean tragedy, Dunbar's a deftness and grace that will appeal to the taste of the refined clientele which she invariably addresses. Miss Davis made her name and fame in "the legitimate" and, let it be said to her infinite credit, cannot be persuaded to abandon it. It may not be generally known that Gen. Joseph Warren Keifer, of Ohio, the author of the bill before the recent Congress to reduce representation in the House, the other to merit it. He has written and placed on the market a very informing book called "Slavery and Four Years of War." Gen. Keifer is a staunch friend of the Negro tenant Taft man in the Chicago convention. The Boston Guardian's abuse and vilification of Assistant District Attorney William Henry Lewis has made that excellent gentleman a luminous figure in headlines and people. Better Lewis must be a clean man, for Trotter never finds any satisfaction in throwing mud at a Negro who is already dirty. We shall not be thoroughly happy, how dare you, Negro, be a Negro that check for the valuable advertising it has given him. Trotter needs the money. The Buxton Gazette calls attention to the fact that Moses was the first journalist, for he wrote on the tablet of stone, but intimates that Noah beat him out as a business man, for he advertised the sailing of the Ark and made a discussion throughout our twenty centuries than all other things combined. Brother DeMond notes that the non-believers "scoffed at Noah and died in the wet water," adding that "You can't keep a good man down, because you can't cope with his offences." Negro business men who turn down their gas early at night and refuse to advertise in the papers of their towns please sit up and take notice? The possession of fire and all there is to Let the world know about it, and all will be benefited thereby. With becoming modesty—amid many blushes, superinduced by a joy that comes of a realization that our humble efforts are appreciated by so green an educator, Mr. Curry, the progressive principal of the Curry School at Urbana, Ohio, we shyly paste in the following word of encouragement from the always helpful and inimitable Mr. Curry: the soul, body and brains: "R. W. Thompson, the able writer, is contributing a great service to the race through his National News Bureau at Washington. He has been consoling our great issues involving the progress of the race. Some, for reasons undiscovered, would criticise him; but such men can stand the fight up by the little teasers, the young people, our experience. Go on, Brother Thompson, you are in the right path!" One Crittenden, a democrat who was permitted to slip into the mayorality of Kansas City because of local disaffections, is worried because the Negro voters hold a balance of power, some in the north, some in the south, and is frantic because the colored employees of Kansas City have been drawing $82,500 a year under the administration of his predecessor and colored foremen have been working on the city's parks, having been waiting on white women in the city offices. He says he will cut the Negro off the payroll wherever possible during his administration. This is, just as it is with the other departments at Washington and in the federal service all over the country if enough Negroes grow disgruntled over the shortcomings of the party of Lincoln, and permit the democrats to come into power in Kansas City. Negroes are reaping the fruit of their mistaken "independence." Race Gleanings Miss Helen Rodgers, the talented young lady of Adrian, Mich. won the State oratorical prize at Grand Haven recently. Peter C. Park, Negro soldier during the Civil War, died in New York last week. He was a sole survivor of the Tecumseh when the monitor was blown up in Mobile Bay. The South Carolina State Fair will open at Columbia Tuesday, November 10, and the street parade. The executive committee met July 1 and completed arrangements. Wilebretta Hansbury, of Hicks High School, Cleveland, in a practice contest held after the regular spelling team of fifteen had been chosen for the National Educational Association, easily beat them all. Dr. Furman J. Shad, secretary of the Board of Median J. Shad, died on Friday, June 24, at his home, R and Ninth streets, northwest, Washington, D. C. Dr. Shad was one of the best known men in the United States and a man of honor. He leaves a widow, two daughters and a son. Reports have been received at Madrid, Spain, from the west coast of Africa concerning the sinking by a tornado on the upper Congo river of the steamobat Villa de Browniat city of the six Euromenians who lost their lives four were caught by cannibals, killed and devoured. Serenity Negroes were drowned. Williams Brookes Mason, an Afro-American of New York City, who asserts he is 138 years old, lost 29-year-old wife last week and has issued a reward for her recovery. Mason married the youthful bride in 1920, and she remained until May 11, when he gave her four dollars and she disappeared. Miss Mamie Finley of Evansville, Indiana, graduate of Providence Hospital Training School of St. Louis, Mo., successfully passed the Indiana State Board examination for trained nurses. Miss Finley was the only colored nurse, amateur and professional, to take the examination. She is at present the only registered nurse in the state. Miss F. Overley, a resident of Louisville, Ky., and foreman of the Day Leather Company, the largest leather work in the country, is in the city making ar- ... *** --- --- ranglements to start two leather industries among colored people here. Mr. Overby has the distinction of being the only colored man to hold a position of such importance in the United States. Bringing with him $10,000 in drafts, which he intended to present to Matt Brown, who was bribed staked him in age. Charles Monk joined him at 7,000 miles from Tahwit, in the South Sea Islands, and, on arriving at Mullan, Idaho, learned that his former partner and house, in 1886, went to the South Sea Islands, where he amassed a fortune as a copra merchant. He now contemplates giving the money to Brown's heirs. RICHMOND, Va.—Giles B. Jackson, lawyer and politician and president of the Negro Development and Industrial Exhibition at the Downtown Exposition, D. Webster Davis, both of recognized ability, of Richmond, Va., have completed an industrial history of the Negro race in the United States, which they will offer country, particularly in the South, for use in the public schools, especially those set aside for the Negro youth. occasion of the editor of this department had the honor to renew his acquaintance with Mr. Powell, having met him in Denver, Colo., during the National Education Convention in 1895. It seems to be very hard for the majority of the colored voters to become reconciled to the nomination of Secretary of State, Andrew M. Johnson, for his policy. There seems to be no particular objections to Mr. Taft, but the very fact that he is sworn to carry out the discharged soldiers will remain discharged as well as disgraced, will seemingly prevent many colored men from voting for Taft. The spellbinders will have to work overtime. Mr. John Eubanks, the well-known western headwater, has been chosen to command the dining room this season at the Grand Hotel, Macanac Island, Michigan. He is too well known to be introduced to readers, as he has been before the public as one of our most successful headwalters for the past twenty years. Mr. Eubanks is now the Golf House, Louisville, Ky., for a number of years, he was Thomas Johnson, of New York City, has originated a method of cleaning windows which is likely to effect shortly the introduction of dust into the room. When this machine is put on the market it will no longer be necessary for cleaners to risk their lives on window-sills. The machine is designed to arm extending out of the window is controlled by a lever inside of the room. By the operation of this lever the outside of the room is opened without the necessity of the operator climbing out. It may be operated either by electricity or by hand. Patents were recently granted and a company to place the machine on the market is now being organized. --- Charles Alyston Smithwick, a graduate of Shaw University and Yale University, and Charles B. is a bright young lawyer who has opened up a law office in New York City. While at Yale Mr. Smithwick won the Parker, the Parker prize is the award of $125 when the member of the senior class who writes the best thesis on the subject connected with Roman law, the Parker prize is the award of $125 when the member of the senior class who argues Andrew Whitlow, accused of illegally wearing the emblem or pin of the Red Men. The hearing of the case was the outlier out of the hands of the jurors and instructed them to return a verdict of not guilty. Testimony brought out during the hearing of the pro-go organization is dissimilar to that of the Improved Order of Red Men. The latter is composed of a shield and an lodge emblem the head of an Indian. NEGRO INSURANCE COMPANIES DOING LARGE BUSINESS. With an aggregate capital of over $750,000 and with 310,000 members, carrying $43,000,000 in life policies, the Federated Insurance League composed of the North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and the District of Columbia, was organized at Hampton, Va. on the 761 inst. It was the first institution of its kind ever colored race, and the organization perfected is without doubt the strongest colored society in the country. Twenty-four companies at present compose the organization. P. Burwell, Richmond, Va., was elected president; C. C. Spaulding, Durham, N. C., vice president, with a number of others following; W. S. Dodd of New Orleans, and C. C. Dongan of Norfolk treasurer. An interesting feature of the new organization is the fact that the secretary, W. S. Dodd, is a white man and brother, Hampton Normal and Industrial School North Carolinians will be particularly pleased to know the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association stood first respectively, is now the strongest Negro institution in the country, and will not make it stronger and stronger. ODD FELLOWS BIENNIAL SESSION. Great Preparation Made for Meeting to Be Held at Atlantic City. Special to THE FREEMAN. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 7. —The past two weeks have witnessed much progress along the line of completing arsenal projects, including the coming B. M. C., and now that only ten weeks shall intervene between now and the coming of this great body of Americans, we will be able to this the grander order known, we are pleased to state that the hospitable and generous citizens of Atlantic City are anxiously waiting to see what will happen to them this throng. Already numbers of organizations from various parts of the country are writing to secure accommodations and securing necessary staff to ensure that their hold will be most royally entertained during their stay in 'our city is a foregone conclusion. The Grand Committee in charge of this task will be one of the Households, together with a few members of the stern sex, as associate members, with Sister Emma Porter as secretary, with the recording secretary, is indefatigable in its effort to show the Grand Household that "they know how" and will show them that they can entertain them as royalty in any city where they have been gathered before. Hotel Notes. Mr. Geo. Robb, who became so well known as the popular second waiter at the Anderson Hotel, in that city, has made a career conducting the Colonial Hotel and cafe. The Hotel World's article concerning a school for colored waiters is being generally discussed by the leading hotel papers, and no doubt in the near future the hotel proprietors will give more attention to the colored waiter than has been done in the past. Mr. D. J. Smith, one of the popular waiters employed at the National Hotel, Peoria, IL., has been in the employ of that hotel for five years. Mr. Smith is also one of the leading politicians of that hotel and has been a yoeman service for the Republican party. Every literary in Atlantic City are offered and supported by the waiters, most of whom are college students. There are literaries in that city and each one's program last week was devoted to the discussion of the Taft and their relation to the Negro. Mr. Hayes Long, the efficient head-waiter at the Coates House, Kansas City, Mo. is demonstrating his ability to handle the duties since December. He closed in the city. The Coates has been overun with guests. Mr. Long has a well organized crew and the boys are delivering the goods. The head-waiters at the Cape May Hotel, Cape May, N. J., wear a white suit and white shoes during breakfast hour, Tuxedo for lunch and the conventional full dress shirt. The hotel in Pennsylvania Bar Association holds its convention last week and up with a banquet of 400. Joseph Thorn, secretary of the Atlantic City Local Waiters Association, died in that city last week and the remains was sent to Washington, D. C., by the local for burial. Mr. Thorn was also a member of the Board of Management of the Hotel and Side Waiters National Association. He was employed as waiter at the Royal Palace Hotel, Atlantic City. The delegates and alternates to the Republican national convention gave a banquet last week in honor of ex-Governor Franklin Murphy at the New Cape May Hotel, Cape May, N. J. Among the delegates since the man, Hon. K. F. Powell, ex-member to the H. For All Purposes and Conditions COMPOSED OF hardened and highly polished metals, associated as they are causing an influence which cannot be obtained by any other agencies. Metals being Copper, Brass and Steel—the steel not coming in contact with the hair. The teeth and washers, or partitions, being mounted on a steel rod and durably fastened by means of a nut on the handle. The comb being differently constructed than others, necessarily so, makes it productive throughout its working capacity, putting the scalp and hair in the most perfect condition. Hair (being ohrn), these metals are friendly toward it, when properly PAT. MAY 21 1907 THE EUREKA COMB used. To illustrate the necessity of its use and the great benefits derived therefrom: As the comb is passed through the hair, each and every strand is greatly improved, giving tone of the scalp to the highest perfection. No matter the condition, it brings magnetism, which is necessary by passing the Comb through the hair, to elicit the nourishment therein that oozes from the body to flow through the strands to the extended ends. Nothing to equal the great beneficial influences imparted by this Comb. It stops the hair from failing—the lack of nourishment being the cause—and is an assistance in causing a rapid growth which is noticeable after treatments. There are other causes, but none the Comb is unable to reach. It is an aid for all lilies of any kind of hair or scalp, restoring the hair to its natural condition and should be given for the productiveness of growth. The use of the Comb tones up and gives vitality—results noticeable for the damage done through negligence. You are aware that the healthy condition of the scalp is neglected for the want of prepared dress and proper applications. The hair becomes unruly and lifeless in appearance—with the Comb it is made soft and silky to touch and brilliant in appearance. When desirous of a luxurious growth, the Comb (in its use) is the most useful article for hair. An oat oil comb with oat oil compacts hair, 50 centimeters wide, appearance and lightened in weight. The beneficial influences are marvelous in the perfection of the scalp and hair, no matter the condition. We guarantee that there are no methods or medicines that will give relief so quickly as the Eureka company answering for every purpose needed.

Scientists acknowledge the effort and effect of this Comb. The several thousand testimonials and letters coming from various sources, all unquestionably demonstrate to us the necessity of its use and the great benefits derived therefrom. Prompt attention is given in supplying and shipping our goods to any part of the world. Remittance should be made in Post Office or Express Money Order, they being most convenient when ordering. INFORMATION SUFFICIENT BY THIS CIRCULAR. Why Not Order To day? Price of Comb Complete $1.50. EUREKA COMB COMPANY - - Chattanooga, Tennessee. ACTIVE AGENTS WANTED. occasion the editor of this department had the honor to renew his acquaintance with Mr. Powell, having met him in Denver, Colo., during the National Education Convention in 1895. It seems to be very hard for the majority of the colored voters to become reconciled to the nomination of Secretary Taft as Roosevelt's choice to carry out the war, as seeming to be a particular objections to Mr. Taft, but the very fact that he is sworn to carry out the Roosevent policy, which means that the discharged soldiers will remain discharged, will be allowed to be present to prevent many colored men from voting for Taft. The spellbinders will have to work overtime. Mr. John Eubanks, the well-known western headwaiter, has been chosen to command the dining room this season at the Grand Hotel, Macaucane Island, and the hotel where Mr. Eubanks is too well known to be introduced to our readers, as he has been before the public as one of our most successful headwaiters at the hotel, and very likely Mr. Eubanks was at the Gait Hotel, Louisville, Ky., for a number of years, he was also at the Vendino, Chicago, and resorts in that hotel. Eubanks was at one time the Palmer Hotel, where we were over one hundred applicants for the position. It so angered the waitresses and their friends because colored waiters were given their places at the West Baden Hotel, West Baden, and that some one attempted to blow, hotel up and run the colored waiters out. Such occurrence was very much damaged. Such occurrence is very unfortunate, and while it may be very damaging to the cause of the white frost, the experience following the discharge of a colored crew would start a crusade against colored waiters throughout the states. We hope that the law will be obeyed and the officers will not be molested again at the Baden. At a recent election of officers of the waiters of Atlantic City Local No. 1 there was a pretty three-cornered fight. In the midst of the discussion as to the mentions of the candidates pro and con, a waiter who was a big fan of all eyes were turned in the direction from whence came the noise the members saw a gigantic machine, which was nothing less than the official "rolling machine" used by the waiters so successfully used at the Headwalters National Convention in that city a year previous. After the machine had been scientifically manipulated "everything was changed," the former national secretary, was declared elected. When in a convention or electing officers look out for the "steam roller." The Negro voters for the first time seems to have the politicians guessing, as there seems to be more dissatisfaction among the Negro voters should be close that the Negro voters will have the balance of power in the following states: Kentucky, Missouri, New York, Delaware, York, Massachusetts, New York, West Virginia, Illinois and Kansas. The action of the Headwaiters National Convention in passing resolutions on Roosevelt's landmark law to nominate the nomination of a candidate who would restore the soldiers to their post of duty with honor and full pay, unscreens a candidate who would cause the Republicans to lose 50,000 votes in the coming election. We hope that the Head and Side Waiters who are supporting the soldiers will become reconciled and elect and not defeat the grand old party. MINEOLA, TEX. Special to THE FREEMAN. The Mineola Summer Normal, conducted by Prof. J. A. Veasy, assisted by Prof. S. A. Young and T. C.

Great cities are attractive in gay moors and "the metropolis on the lake" is never merrier than when disporting itself in this wonderful park. The town is not meant to be compared with this great park, either in magnitude, fabulous investment or attendance. Frequently 250,000 men, women and children are within the enclosure of the vast park, because it is after one enters the white masonry of the gates and till he emerges, he is mystified, bewildered, entranced. Broad vista leads everywhere to turreted pavilions, circuses, theaters, ballets, "Streets of Chicago," coats, coats, coats, chutes, cascades, electric launches, miniature railways, "Wild West Shows," aerial menageries, Japanese pagodas and open air concerts by the world's finest bands. Riverview is a festival city, with its chimes of bells, peals of organs, roar of trains, cooling gish of waters, dashing of foaming lakes, boat whistles, stringed instruments, "tom-toms," euphonies of bagpipes, chanting of Indians, hymnals in sacred plays, yell of cowboys, reports of riffs and crash of artillery, roaring of lions, vocalizations of a million birds and animals, jubilee singing, shouts and laughter, and sounding above all, the majestic strains of Bohumir Kryl's great Its Chutes cascades, 500 feet in midair, spray crystal waters in continuous rainbows. Gay gondolas descend in raindrops, rushing downward in the skim the surface of the lake lashing its transparent waters into foam. Laughter and shouts of delighted passengers accompany the musical murmur of the falling cascades. A third exhibit in West," cowboys and Indians exhibit feats of broncho riding. The biblical story of Babylon is enacted by 1,000 young men and women in this city. In Big Otto's Animal Jungle, "Miss Dixie," young, pretty and fearless, enters a den of lions, jaguars, panthers and wildcats. She seizes the jaws of a Núruguayan, her head between great teeth that gleam dangerously against her white throat. A naval battle between the Monitor and Mergimac; the "Kyphausen," the mountainous retreat of Emperor Bartholomew and Paul Revere's ride are historical. Camels and elephants bear laughing children; in a Flea Circus tiny insects drombe, living pictures, Turkish dancers, circle and giant swings, motor and submarine boats, deep sea divers, live coasters, mechanical minstrels, "Thousand Islands" waterways, Japanese tea gardens, Chinese pavilions, double decks, plum lavis devises form streets, pikes, plaisances, courts and waterways. Riverview, an emerald forest under an arbor, pavilions, river and scintillant diamond lakes. All night this veritable fairyland has myriads of lights that whirl and flash and a more beautiful haze on gay throngs. A more beautiful fairy spectacle was never conceived.

Marshall— Whether the whole thing was on the level or not I am not prepared to say, but certainly by accident or otherwise, Burns came dangerously upset using his much coveted title to Bill Murray the other night in Paris. Tommy book the Australian on his own money, the band of making a bona sire match with Sam McVey, the big American Nero who has been on his trail ever Burns landed on the continent, the latter, however, the other of McVey's game, and for his own protection books, he again with the Australian, on the occasion of their first meeting in California, he punched the big punch, but they have been trying to do something in the way of crossing his wilful antagonist, for to the surprise of the bloody outboxed and outpunched champion for five rounds, when the hard pace of the grand conclusion and ring generalship that through the fourth round. carrier, who first three rounds were Squires, who got a straight arm wound, almost all the time. Burns, however, continued to care for the jab, but commonly was on the watch for the jab, but famous right, was to get home his sleep producer, a result of Squires' hard, aggressive work during the stages of the battle he was appalled well well, when he had to hit up his true pace. The first part of the fourth round was the tastest of them all. Both men were taking matters into account when they looked a trifle right to the ring and all but out. Before Squires could land another blow, the bell sounded and saved Burns life. It was a narrow escape from sure defeat. It is quite within the range of possibility that New York will again send a man to the post capable of giving Joe Gans a battle for the title. The latest find in the lightweight class won his most notable victory the other night when he won decisively from Fighting Dick of the SEC's best and fairest the ganget little men a dlove. It was the best and most fiercely conceived fight between lightweights that New Yorkers have witnessed since the flowery 1970s. Horstmann, who only time during the bout that appeared slow was when Cross covered up in his corner, letting Hyland fight himself out. There was plenty of action. Cross was able to get to Hyland and Hyland come faster than ever, knowing that he would have to even up the score to hold the reputation that he has fought hard for, but it was a useless trick. Dick was handicapped with his short height and reach from the start. Hyland never stopped once during the fight after he got started. He got, the faster and offender Cross would shoot them in, and several times, especially in the second round. Dick was shaken up with right and left-handers that brought the crowd to their feet, cheering the newcomer on to --- There can now be no reasonable excuse for withholding from Stanley Ketchell the title of multidewight champion Illinois His due date is March 15, 2014, in Milwaukee, the other night, easily puts him ahead of the list of contenders for the title. Ketchell had had quite a recollection of his success has been won so rapidly as to be almost bewildering. He has never been in the East, and it is, of course, difficult to believe that he has rapidly delivered punches taking many himself meanwhile. He is a knocker out, as was shown by the way that he put Joe Thomas and Stanley Ketchell into a fastening had seen Joe Thomas box were inclined to think that Ketchell could not be such a wonderful fighter, as it took a long time to put Joe Thomas down so he reckoned and as there were lightweighties who were just begging for the chance to put Thomas in a six-round bout or not. Ketchell won; did not shine so brilliantly, and as there were punching out with a punch, opinions changed. It was in evidence that Ketchell had a Ketchell much longer to knock Sullivan's brother Jack out, but he did the trick. He came near landing Papke in the first with a waltchip, for he dropped Billy with a waltchip, for he most immediately after they shook hands. Ketchell seems to have outboxed, outwitted and outgoneed Papke. Papke will not have to contend with the next time Ketchell and Papke meet will probably be for twenty or more rounds. Aropes of the likelihood of Ketchell and Papke meeting Cochran, the San Francisco promoter, who has been making a short sojourn in the metropolis, has offered the men a forty-five round opportunity in Frisco some time in August, and probably that they will sign for such a deal. Before the recent fight Hugo Kelly, Sam Langerd, Jack (Twin) Sullivan, Jack Henk, Uuk Russell and Peter Jackson cannot beat a winner of the fight. Kelly cannot beat a winner of the fight. A decision over him in a ten-round battle. Now, the proper man for Ketchell to be might interest the public, is Sam Langerd, who has a doubt, measures up to the real moment in every particular, because his record proves it. Sullivan is no match, for Ketchell is already defeated him, and as for the rest they are rather foolish challenges, and the rest they were after a little free advertising. . . . Tommy Burns believes, with a good many other gentlemen of uncertain purpose, that time will cure everything. He figures that when Jack Johnson will die in the future when Jack Johnson will die in the future and then the heavyweight path will be clear. It is still uncertain whether Burns holds the world's heavyweight title or just that part of the title that includes scientific ducking. Burns is certainly there like a duck, but the two ducks, for that matter, in fact hang side of the champion looks like an oyster. He can duck Johnson in any language in the world and duck back again. Tommy has colored the colored heavyweight in England, France, Germany, Helsinki, Switzerland, Patterson, China, Australia, Spearmint and Sozoo. He then chase keeps up much longer Burns will have time to airplanes will have been perfected. JOE WALCOTT STILL ACTIVE. X-waterweight champion Joe Walcott, who is having boxed almost as long as he was, is still good enough to defeat many in his class and quite a few in the middle division. At Rochester, N. Y. on June 7, he met Mike Lansing, a middleweight, who he defeated in six rounds, and never was in danger from the tap of the belt. NEGRO JOCKEY WINS LAURELS.

Sporting Editor THE FREEMAN: I hear there is a report going the rooftop of the Louisville Giants. We refused to play the Louisville Giants.

Now it's up to Manager Ed Lancaster to name the dates. Yours respectfully. J. H. BELL, Assistant Manager Louisville Union Baseball Club. HOW THEY FIGURE KETCHELL. This is the way they figure Ketchell's position in the East: Stanley Ketchell will soon be in the position he will Jeffries. He will be no option for him. Jeff's opponents gave out because the boiler-maker, besides being one of the greatest fighters in the world, was too big for the team. He came into a palsied state to see him coming out of his corner like a great grizzly bear. Size cuts no ice with Ketchell. It gets better when he is fighting feared as much as Terry McGovney was a few years ago. Ketchell seems to be a split between McGovney and Fitzsimmons in fighting style. He tears in like McGovney, but he doesn't like Fitzsimmons, and, like Fitz, he punches so unexpectedly that the other fellows THE LOUISVILLE GIANT are caught napping. He dropped Mike "Twin" Sullivan with the first punch. He did the same thing to Papke, who hit the floor as soon as he got up. He recovered enough to make a fight of it for the ten rounds. Ketchell knocked Joe Thomas down the same way in their first fight. It is easy to figure that within a few months at the most there will be none but heavyweights for him to fight. And there is no reason why Ketchell would fight. He is heavyweight class. His best fighting weight just now is the same as that of Bob Fitzsimons when he knocked out big and clever Jim Corbett for the championship world. Fitzsimons in his heavyweight battles, was only a middleweight. MARVIN HART AFTER JOHNSON. Jack Will Accept if a Large Enough Purse is Offered. WRESTLED OVER TWO HOURS. Norwich, Conn., was the scene of a wrestling match recently between Abe the Newsboy, who has a large following, and John Hantakas, the Terrible Greek. Newsboy evidently tried to offend the Greek, an advantage that made the job a heavy one for Hantakas, but he worked every minute, but without making any great impression. Once both men went through together to the Greek, Hantakas was the richest twice more. At the end of an hour the Greek caught Abe in a toe hold that looked sure for a fall, but Abe gripped the ropes and escaped. After working two hours and fifteen hours, Referee Desmond announced that the wrestlers consented to call the match a WEIGHT NOT NECESSARY. Weight doesn't make so much difference to a clever fighter with a good punch as THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER it does to a plain slugger. Terry McGovern, at his best, beat down Joe Gans. Joe Gans fights welterweight as successfully bigweight. He can hold the welterweight weight if he knocks out that when he knocked out Mike "Twin" Sullivan so easily, and when he fought Joe Walcott a twenty-round draw in San Francisco. Walcott was known as the "Giant Killer," because he could fight big men even better than little men. He knocked out Joe Choynsky, the clever heavyweight. He knocked out Joe Lapointe, the clever "Kid" Lavigne, lightweight and "Mysterious" Billy Smith, welterweight. Walcott never kicked about weight. One of his favorite amusements was fighting Sandy Larsen, the best rough-house fighters in the ring. He never was a good heavyweight, but he would bite, kick and run the gamut of fouling when he met Walcott, and get well above 200 pounds. "Kid" McCoy never scaled very much, but he would have taken a chance with Jeffries if it had been offered to him. He made a great fight against Sharkey when he was down twice. He faked with Corbett, but there is little doubt that he might have won on the level if he hadn't chosen to be down. He knocked out Peter Maher, Joe Choyniak and all of other good heavies. Choyniak keeps up a pace he probably fight for. Burns for the heavyweight title within a year. Burns is not a real heavyweight, either. SPACE FOR SPORT NEWS.

WOULDN'T STAND FOR 'COLORED PLAYERS. LA CAMAS, Wash.—La Camas has drawn the color line, Manager McGinnis, who has been with the Golden West team, a colored bunch of Portland, but so much protest NTS BALL TEAM, ONE OF THE FASTEST was made that he called the game $\rho$ff. Mr. McGinnis thought this team would prove a strong drawing card, and it would no doubt have brought a big crowd, but a number of citizens who hall from south and north to play against their protectors more so loud that in deference to them it was decided it would be best not to play the ebony-hued ball tossers. They do not question any one's right to stay away from any game, but they think that the matter of selecting teams to play against is purely their own busi- THE PRESS Whittier, the poet, in his day, found it very difficult in his day to find publications that cared for his copy, and because all of his writings were tinged with the spirit of freedom, the cause in which he was then actively engaged in promoting. There is much of the same spirit left to-day. Newspapers and magazines do not give a great deal of the bright side of Negro life, it is not a popular subject. To say that the Negro is not very often spoken of commendingly, because he is not popular, however, is not the whole truth. Many unpopular causes have been expoused, are being expoused, but they are unpopular in the sense that the vastly greater majority are not interested in them. This opposition is of a very different kind to that shown when dealing with the Negro question, being generally considered a difference of opinion, and goes at that. No question has been so far-reaching as the Negro question; it is full of vital issues; the kind that enter into the very life of nations; it is for enlarged librty; it is for political enfranchisement; it is for great industrial consideration; it is for great commercial opportunity and so forth, and of course from the Negro's viewpoint, and as a citizen of the Republic, that he has special opportunities does not change the spirit of the situation. Viewed in the light of American citizenship. So the question is not one of unpopularity as it is, best understood, but practically a forbidden one. The white press is a business proposition; it does not feel called on to sacrifice its existence by championing causes that assure that end. Furthermore, the managements of those publications do not feel very much different to the people that support the papers. But in a spirit of fairness it can be said that the editors of journals by white people do show a somewhat better sense of justice concerning the Negroes than is generally displayed by the people, due, one will think to the understood duty, and because accustomed to stand for "exact" right. If it were not yet further apart and not particularly inviting when run upon. As it is, we see cheerthings, statements and expressions in those journals that are all that could be wished by the sane and sober-minded Negroes. Of course, they are not of too frequent occurrence. Prof. R. R. Wright, Jr., colored, a well known writer along sociological lines, has been making the subject of the attitude of the white press towards Negroes a study; he has given to the public much of what he has gotten together by way of statistics and other means of arriving at some just conclusion along that line. He spent some time in Philadelphia studying the editorials of those papers, their reported matter touching on the Negroes. Without entering into a detailed account of Prof. Wright's work, it will be sufficient to say that in a period of six weeks he found seventy references to the Negroes. Most of these we pessimistic in tone, "unhopeful" or discouraging; a few of them were insipid; fewer yet were optimistic, as thought by Prof. Wright, and as would be so considered by the race generally. Prof. Wright feels that the Philadelphia press fairly reflects the press of the country. In fact, that city is generally thought to be exceptional in its regards for colored people. The origin of the state, and the great influx of foreigners who, by the nature of things are indifferent to such questions, for a long time at least, says much in its behalf, also of Pennsylvania as an "ideal" state. Yet he thinks the showing is not at all in keeping with the opinions entertained of that city or state. His views will be accepted by the discerning as facts, and in view of which a change is hoped. Those editors and reporters perhaps gave no thought to the greater showing of unfavorable mention in their papers, being governed wholly by the current of sentiment and because there were no counter currents. The exposition of Prof. Wright which is now generally broad IN THE MIDDLE WEST. cast will have the tendency to produce more thoughtfulness, and most especially when there is no cost or penalty. As said in the outset the bright side of Negro life is not a popular theme, but there is no necessity for so much display of the ugly side. Those terrible head lines are not always without method. Prof. Wright gives a number of these that announced articles already referred to. Some of them were the expected; others were malicious and incendiary—studious, full of purpose. Not long since at a meeting of editors in a southern city, it was admitted on the floor that the Negro had been unduly abused; that their papers had exaggerated their doings; it seemed the sense of the body that they would discontinue the practice and give the Negroes the same measure given other people. The newspapers are particularly able to mold public sentiment, to influence public sentiment. It does not matter who speaks—imbecile or sage—if it is in the newspaper—it counts the same whether of imbecile or sage; such is the power of the press. It says if those conducting it are thoughtful of all people, the public mind will soon take on a similar tinge, thus hastening the day of the best possible conditions. There is not the great risks to run as in Whittier's day, when to speak for the blacks meant, often, going supperless to bed. GREENVILLE. TEX Special to THE FREEMAN. George James, of Ft.
