Special to THE FREEMAN. America meet last week in the Washington Street Baptist Church and held their tri-ennial grand lodge. Delegates were here from twelve States in the South and a number of visitors from other sections of the Littleton Rock Ark, presided at the meeting. It was the most successful meeting in the history of the order. The age in the city of Little Rock, C. W. Keatts and John E. Bush founded the order and it has since grown to a membership of 50,000. A fine program was given and the Rev. Robin Cunno delivered an address. The address was one of the best ever heard along fraternal lines in this section. The grand lodge was called to order. Mr. Cunno on the Washington Street Baptist Church with Alexander presiding. Various committees were appointed and the meeting got down to business. On the first night welcome addresses were among them being County Attorney Barkley and Lawyer Egister. The choir of the church gave a number of fine selections. Several solos were given. Oratory and song were performed night program. During the session a number of resolutions were introduced by the committee and approved by the grand boda. Among them were resolutions bearing names of the members and the erection of a Monies Temple hall at Little Rock. But different were made with the constituent which was made twenty-five years before, and John E. Bush, present grand serge. ity of our country is dependent upon its suppression by strong legislation and public sentiment. We heartily endorse administration of the Republican party that gives our country greatest prosperity in its history. It has stimulated industry, emphasized liberty and happiness and today the American business is the best paid wage earner in the world. But the Republican party has never closed the door of hope in the face of the black man and from the day that Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, the Republican party has kept a tender watch on the Negro. We encourage the spirit of free and independent thought and expression on all questions affecting the social fabric of our country. We gratify the Republican party on securing for its standard bearer that matchless and fearless leader, William H. Taft of Omaha. He is a man of broad and liberal views. He is a President of the United States, we believe that he has within him the qualifications to make the greatest executive the country has ever had. He has a long official record of service, a race will not suffer in his hands. Our future depends upon how well we embrace the present opportunities, therefore let us continue to develop the heart, head and hand, let us develop the brain, heart and hand, producers as well as consumers in our resilient communities and all will be well." The meeting adjourned to meet in Little Rock, Ark., in 1911. There was rehearsal for the delegates. Dr. C. Padduc were ever ready to open their doors to entertain the delegates. Dr. C.

There was attending at the session a number of substantial and successful members of the race, who have made some progress in the different communities, but today are large taxpayers. Nearly every walk of life was represented by doctors, lawyers, educators, editor farmers, business men and laborers. They have the idea handed down to them by such men as Booker T. Washington, John C. Padduc, in all fields of activity and produce something. One of the most successful men in the South is at the head of the Mosquito Ark, United States land receiver at Little Rock and the backbone of the Republican party of his State.

One of the youngest delegates to the grand lodge was Mr. Frank Young. He is a railway mail clerk on the St. Louis division. He served on the board of directors and aided in passing many of the resolutions that were passed for the good of the order. It was his untiming energy and forethought that gave him such prominence at the grand lodge. Mr. Young is single at the age of 60 and deposited in the banks of Little Rock. Hon. Seipio A. Jones of Arkansas was another one of the delegates to the grand lodge. He was congressional member of the House and convention in Chicago. He is a stalwart Republican and a member of the county central committee of Little Rock. He was re-elected attorney-general of the Mosaics. He was accompanied by his little daughter to the lodge. Miss Leona Williams of Cape Girardeau, Mo. was one of the delegates to the grand jury and was much committee work as did Miss Williams. She was a member of several of the most important committees and she faithfully attended the session. She was re-elected State secretary of the Mosaics of Missouri.

AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS HAVE GREAT ANNUAL SESSION Dr. Curtis Proving a Valuable Asset to Freedmen's Hospital Auditor Tyler Receives Hand-some Present from Parang. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27—The Maryland and District of Columbia Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of the Eastern District in session Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Odd Fellows' Hall, 1606 M street, Northwest. The principal feature of the museum is the 500 Knights in line, covering the main thoroughfares of the city and presenting a handsome appearance. Upon the recommendation of the Council, it was decided to cast the lot of this branch of Pythians with the larger wing of the two Supreme Lodges of colony, which would organize an organic union in actual operation. The per capita tax was increased from 12 to 15 cents. The following new lodges were report: ed. St. Luke's, East New Market; Alpha, Starkes, Baltimore; W. T. Shorman, Frostburg; Frederick Douglass, Cumberland, Md.; and Metropolitan and Potomac Court of Justice, Baltimore. The address of the welcome was delivered by Commissioner H. B. F. Macfair, and eloquent responses were made by Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, of this city, and Michael Mcchen, of this city, and Chancellor W. Green, of New Orleans was present, and delivered a stirring address, in which he stated that the order has membership of 100,000 and is one of the officers were elected as follows: Geo. A.

The past grand chancellor's degree was conferred by the University of Baltimore, grand keeper of records and seals, and George A. Watty and John H. Henderson were elected representatives to the Supreme Lodge, which holds its biennial session. The Grand Court of Calanthe, the woman's auxiliary, elected Mrs. Lillie G. Jones, of Baltimore, grand worthy counselor. The next annual session will be held in Camden. The designation of Dr. A. M. Curtis by Secretary Garfield as a member of the staff of consulting physicians of the new $500,000 Freedmen's Hospital is proving an important addition to the medical matters yet made by the head of the Interior Department. This cordial recall to such an important duty, where he gave our years of experience in an unqualified indemnification of the proud record he made in that period. As it was through Dr. Curtis' recommendations and persistent labor before the new building possible, it is not too much to say that the magnificent temple dedicated to the relief of suffering humanity has been taken administration. For some time Dr. Curtis has been a lecturer on surgery in the post-graduate medical school of some universities, and has been the founder of this useful department. He was the first house surgeon of Provident Hospital at Chicago, starting out on the day the institution was established, and applying on the Cook County Hospital staff, having been given this assignment in 1898. In 1898 he was called to Freedmen's Hospital as the first surgeon to deliver operations of difficult surgical cases. Since retiring from Freedmen's to enter the broader arena of general practice, Dr. Curtis has been called to operate in the two leading medical operations, and holds clinics every year at Meharry Medical School at Nashville. He has frequently enjoyed the distinction of operating in the two leading medical operations, and holds clinics every year at Meharry Medical School at Nashville.

Address all communications to Dorothy, The Freeman Indianapolis, Ind. If those who whine would whistle, And those who languish laugh, The rose would route the sthite, The bee would pier the shaff; If hearts were only jolly, If grieving were forgot, And tears and melancholy Were things that now are not— The sun would burn the Duty, And all the world would seem A bridal bow of beauty, A dream within a dream. If men would cease to worry, And women cease to sigh, And all be glad to bury The earth under the Duty. If neighbor spoke to neighbor As love demands of all, The rust would eat the saber, The spear stay on the wall; The vine would pier the shaff, And every eye would shine, And God would pause to listen, And life would be divine. HAVE BOYS MORE SELF-RESPECT THAN GIRLS? That girls do not equal boys in self-respect is argued as follows by an exchange which says: the boys have no never think of it—that the boys have more self-respect than the members of your sex? There is not a young man of any degree of responsibility that the boys have a driven walk down a street with a drunken eye search the street with a fine-tooth comb and then not find the young man who would lock arms and go promenading in a crowd only too anxious to squirting tobacco juice around on the sidewalks. Girls have no hesitancy in accepting the company of such characters and too many of them too anxious to handle the hand of anything that wears pants. Society will become refined when the girls demand the boys who wish to pay them money and that the boys demand of the girls. Over the heads of young ladies of the land hangs the possibilities of the greatest moral reform that ever swept over this country. It is true, perhaps, that a self-respecting or any kind of man would not be found in company in public with the women, but in private associate with women even a bad woman to show her rudeness in this special manner. However, a great number of boys and young men of the best kind associate with women also street characters, and show a decided preference for this class. While not trying to defend the girl who associated with the unfit young man, we do say that it is not a question of whether boys or girls have the most self-respect, but which individual cares for the family environment instance where the family environments have much to do with the taste of the young. The father should be the girl's friend and manhood the mother the embodiment of the environment. To say to one that they must not do things is quite insufficient. Take the time and give reasons why it must not be done. For example, you must not tobacco, for the father and brother are usually users of the same, and the mother does not object and she does they not. You must not be the girl of someone does not see any harm in associating with one of tobacco habits. As for drunkards, Do not think that there are any girls who seem to be characterized by the girl of someone seen with a drunkard, if she has had sufficient experience to know a drunkard. It seems to be characteristic of our people who have been exposed to faults of faults and virtues. Perhaps if more time and patience were given to individuals, the parts of the whole, when the re-occurrence of faults and races will be nearer perfection. THE GIRL WHO IS ADMIRED. HISTORIC MODEL OF FIDELITY PROVED FALSE. pigeon family seems to have won immortal fame, the innocent-looking little birds have a joke on the poet. In this respect pigeon family is among the poets. "In Pigeons, among which there is always a ceremony before pairing, the female sometimes is more anxious to mate than is the male, and leads the male on. In some cases you have no special instinct to coyness. They may in some cases show reluctance to accept the advances of the male, but these cases do not indicate coyness." The monometry of marriage is presented as follows: When at length a site is agreed upon (for a nest) the selection is impressed upon the minds of the birds by a ceremony chosen spot and call and oress one another for a long period. The one bird, usually the female, remains in the nest to build it and fashion it, while the other flies off in search of building material. "Each time the male returns with a straw the female welcomes him with a low, complacent cooling and an affectionate outter of the wings, which must serve to counter the birds' instinct to build the birds and the choice of a nesting site." The uncertainty of marriage is shown The uncertainty of marriage is shown thus: "Mated birds, after remaining absolutely faithful through a long period, may occur certain circumstances separate, and one of them may form a new and different union." WILL SELL NEGRO DOLLS. A local firm has arranged to offer the parents of Nashville for their children Negro dolls, which are the nearest imitations of the ones they are seen in stores. They are in four sizes and are now in the hands of dressmakers, being neatly dressed, and will be placed on exhibition in the mall. They are taken in time to get them for the holidays. The colored doll idea has been grown in Nashville for some time, and there are girls to have a doll, but they want them to have something as near the Negro baby as can be manufactured. They have been sold in stores, and that there is some pride, some merit, some worth and something to be admired in a dark skin. A local firm that has succeeded in bringing these colored dolls to Nashville, has done so after an enormous expense and a continued effort, covering a period of more than two months, to ooze dolls to the mall. There were but few of these dolls in the city. About five reached Nashville for Christmas, and we fear the opportunity for a hundred SUFFERAGETTES GUESSING English suffragettes today are wondering whether their recent demonstration at London shall be put down as a tremendous victory, or whether they should show, without a doob, but it fell so far short of what was expected that many are inclined to think the cause was not helped there. There is disappointment that more women did not take a more active part in the demonstration. Several hundred people have been injured, and suffraghaes leading thereto, but they were largely curious spectators. Not over 1,500 suffragettes were in active participation. There were several classes, mostly between the suffraghaes and spectators. MASCULINE IDEA OF LEAP YEAR "If every years were leap year, and women could be brought to avail themselves of the time-honored privilege of the time, we should be stead of waiting for the men to propose to them, we should be far along the road toward a regenerate society." Such is the statement made by Dr. Denslow Lewis, president of the McGill-Legal Society of Women in the Church, in a section of the American Medical Association. "Only in the human race is the right of selection arbitrarily given to the male. We should try to try for the last twelve months as a guide, we can hardly believe that he has made a brilliant success of it. Left to herself, and with no hampering conventions to inquire into, we should be the most discriminating choosers. REISTERTOWN FRESH AIR FARM The Colored Empty Stocking and Fresh Air Circle, at Baltimore, which held a street carnival on Druid Hill avenue, Lanvale, Etting and Dolphin streets, last week, have used the proceeds of the sales to fund a new car line, near Aelersistown. The farm consists of a large dwelling, where the little ones will be entertained during the summer, and ten and one-half acres of ground. A number of improvements have been made to the farm, and price paid for the farm is $1,750. Miss Ida R. Cummings is president of the circle. CONGO PARASOLS THE RAGE. It is not often that Paris gets its fashion ideas from the Congo, but this is true of the latest style in sun shades. Recently four of the principal houses in Paris have been fitted with sun shades, the handles of which were composed of a combination of pampas grass and precious jewels. The grass is woven in native African style on a light bamboo base, an studded leather belt, and the general effect is extremely cool and refreshing. The linen of the parasol itself is embroidered with grass in a variety of fancy designs. Some parasols are so richly adorned that the price runs to thousands. The fashion was inaugurated by the young administrator of the Congo colony, who sent a number of grass handled parasols to his women acquaintances in Paris. He now has a hundred natives employed to work the work and cannot supply the demand. FOR THE PICNIC BASKET "One ham sandwich doesn't make a picnic, neither does a boiled egg," say the girls who have been to cooking school and learned all about making spreads for their younger brothers and sisters on trips this summer, the lunch basket will contain most wondrous jars of salad, all ready to spread on the buttered bread, cooked in the oven, an improvised fireless cooker, and a few other delicious up-to-date picnic dainties. Even the sandwich has undergone a transformation. Fillings are usually minced, and there is more variety in the filling. One of the newest sandwiches is made with French rolls. Make a round opening in the top of each, and with your finger coop out the gumbo with the gumbo opening on top. Save the little piece of crust from the top to again cover the opening after the roll is filled. Chop very fine four olives, one ginger, one onion, and one peppercorn, two tablespoonful of capers. Chop fine two ounces of cold cooked veal or beef and mix it with the white meat of one chicken, chopped fine. Put the olive and onion in a napkin. Then, just before the time to serve, mix all together, and moisten with a good mayonnaise; fill the rolls full up to the top; put the little piece of cheese on have saved on the top and serve at once. An attractive German sandwich that always pleases the boys is made of rye bread, though wheat bread could be used. Cut thin slices of rye bread; butter beforeshaving each slice with a thin layer of linburge cheese. Onologa sausage into the thinnest slices you can; place these on the cheese, then a thin piece of bread with another slice of bread that has been uncut and tasted with a layer of cheese. Press the two together and serve. A sweet served ham sandwich is made by first chopping the most fine. To each cupful of ham stir in two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a dash of cayenne and one-half teaspoonful of onion juice. Sweat the slices with the paste; cover with another slice of buttered bread; remove the crusts and cut into fancy shapes if desired. At one Marmalade almost before lunch time. The cook who conducted the party has given us her recipe. It calls for a cupful of hotte; of buttered sugar with eggs, one teaspoonful of soda, 1½ tablespoonfuls of hot water, 3¾ cupfuls of flour, half teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, or cupful of chopped walnut cupful of currants, half cupful of seeded chopped raisins; cream the butter, add the sugar gradually, then the well-beaten eggs; add the dissected egg to the flour sifted with the salt and cinnamon; to the fruit and nut meats in a little of the flour, add these, and then the balance of the flour drop by spoonfuls one inch apart on a buttered tin and bake in a moderate oven. A WOMAN'S JUST PRIDE IS HER HAIR. To straighten out that kinky, curly hair, putting it in the most perfect condition to be combed into any shape, just try a bottle of LINCOLN HAIR POMADE. There is no other preparation on earth to equal LINCOLN HAIR POMADE in producing soft, beautiful hair. WHAT TO WEAR. For informal evening wear nothing is prettier and more dainty than the inexpensive dimitiles, lawns and batistes, of attractive colorings and designs. Some them, indeed, and quite suitable for dancing frocks to sandwich between those required for elaborate occasions. A good model for any of these materials has a skin of a pale blue lawn, inch ruffles of self material, as far as the knee, and a round beele waist, decollete, with yoke of lace. Three of the ruffles form the sleeves. A dainty frock of white mull has an edge finish of graduated dots in pale blue. The trimming is of pale blue lawn, covered with large, delicately toned roses. The gored skirt which is fastened down the front or the side is newer than the one fastened down the back. We have gored waist over the skirts and jumpers when downed the front. It is a pretty fashion and a decided relief from what has gone before. For the traveler who is on business or pleasure bent the shirtwaists made of India or China silk will be found the coolest kind, and with the aid of a cake of soap and a tiny gas or electric iron they have gored waist over the skirts and jumpers enabling one to look always fresh and dainty when separated from the base of supplies, "the trunk." A stunning gown of white radium, whose skirt is elaborately trimmed with tucks and inset points of heavy white lace from knee depth to hem, has a bodice in jacquard effect of the same heavy lace and the yoke of lace on sleeves. The former is trimmed on each side with four gold tassels and the girle is liberty satiny in a delicate shade of pink. The shapely fine white shirt is faced with four velvet collared in front with a huge cope plume. For late summer and early fall wear there are foulard dresses with cloth coat to match. The coat is three-quarter coat with the arm and handson dress was made of leaf green foulard figured in brown. A tight-fitting, three-quarter coat of green cloth was buttoned with brown enamel buttons. The handson dress was made of leaf green foulard figured in brown. A tight-fitting, three-quarter coat of green cloth was buttoned with brown enamel buttons. The handson dress was made of leaf green foulard figured in brown. A suit of this description can be worn until it is time to put on a fur coat. Hand-embroidered linen girdles, with the work all done in soft pale colors, are seen. They are fastened invisibly, with hooks and eyes, maying the girdle appear as though no opening. This gives the handson dress a very youthful effect. Other girdles of hand-embroidered linen are clasped with a handsome pearl buckle, set with turquoise. And staircases and lamps with three tailor-made straps that pass through tiny gold or silver buckles. Sashes are used effectively on the new gowns. They serve the purpose of girdles, hip yokes and shoulderettes. A wide, handsomely embroidered scarf of old pink chiffon is worn in directioa fashion, a round shoulders in directioa fashion, a next time it made its appearance it was a hip scarf, knotted a little at one side to fall in long and very limp lines to the very bottom of the sleeves it was worn around the waist as a high and much folded girdle, with two loops and ends falling in the back. Those who complain of the cost of the new scarf and the high price of the sash material should wear the many uses to which it can be put. For wear with a shirt waist, the eleven-gored skirt pattern that buttons down the center front is something that is meeticulous. A material much used is that of striped cotton, showing a surface that looks so much like linen that it is not necessary to buy a nice linen when anything so genial is desired. A material much used is that of striped weaves, showing broad stripes, possibly three-eighths of an inch wide, alternating with white, of course. There be stripes of white, blue, brown, grey and white, and just any quantity of pink and white and lavender and white. You see, by using the many-gored pattern it throws all lines on the straight, and one can easily adjust a skirt when the dress is worn. You can just where they are not wanted against another gore. A fold of plain material heads the four-inch hem. The fold is stitched with the at the top of the hem, just just where they are not wanted against another gore. A fold of plain material heads the four-inch hem. The fold is stitched with the at the top of the hem, just just where they are not wanted against another gore. A fold is so placed that the dress is ironed it is easier to iron the fold and under it than to attempt to smooth the fold over too many seams. A straight fold will have very few seams, you know. SETTLEMENT HOUSE WORK. The Robert Gould Shaw Settlement House, at Boston, Miss Augusta P. Eaton, director, is proving a veritable godsend to the colorful children of the South End in Boston, where he spent the week in the country, either in Pepperell, Mass., or Hanover, New Hampshire, has been arranged for over 50 children, while he is also providing nic and four pictures for boys, 18 boys at a time, have been arranged for Revere Beach and other local resorts. Provisions for children from the Shaw House on the Boston River are free car and carriage rides and boat rides for invalids have also been made. The playrooms and grounds at the Boston Shaw House accommodate regularly 100 children and more. This department is under the management of the Episcopal City Mission, and the work class is still carried on under Miss Josephine Crawford of Savoy street, as Mr. Fred Brady and Mr. Clark are not working with summer class, Mrs. Alexander Wright and Mr. mullery classes through the summer. HARRISBURG FRESH AIR FUND. The Fresh Air Fund sent twenty colored boys of New York City last Saturday to Manorville, Long Island. They were taken in the room by the workers, where the Rev. H. G. Miller, minister, took charge of them. He procured board for the children in homes in the town, and near by, but they will be in around New York to get places for colored children, but Rev. Miller is giving his personal attention to them and succeeding in placing them in delightful surroundings where they needed the cottage. Colored Fresh Air Committee chose them from among many who should go and will go later. Pet names are very pretty in private conversation, but they sound decidedly silly in court. "A woman lawyer in New York has announced in opening her office that she will serve women clients only." The only trouble with this program is that by one of the women clients, the women clients are apt to prefer the men. 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 horn), these metals are friendly toward it, when property 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 touch to the scalp, by passing the Comb through the hair, producing an electric matter the condition, it brings magnetism, which is being brought against the entire lengths of the strands, causes 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 two treatments, because, but none the Comb is unable to reach.

Copyright, 1808, by Robert W. Chambers. It was a bad night outside, and it was a bad night for Siward. The master vice had him by the throat. He sat there clutching the arms of his chair, his broken leg in its plaster casing extended in front of him, and when he saw Plank enter he glared at him. Hour after hour the two men sat there, the one white with rage, but helpless; the other stolid, inert, deaf to demands for intercession with the arch vice, dumb under pleadings for a compromise. He refused to interfere with the butler, and Siward insulted him. He refused to go and find the decanters himself, and Siward deliberately cursed him. Once toward morning Siward feigned sleep, and Plank, heavy head on his breast, feigned it too. Then Siward bent over stealthily and opened a drawer in his desk, and Plank was on his feet like a flash, jerking the morphine from Siward's fingers. The doctor arrived at daylight, responding to Plank's summons by telephone, and Plank went away with the morphine and Siward's revolver bulging in the side pockets of his dinner coat. He did not come again for a week. A short note from Siward started him toward lower Fifth avenue. There was little sald when he came into the room. "Hello, Plank! Glad to see you." "Hello! Are you all right?" "All right. Much obliged for pulling me through. Wish you'd pull me through this Amalgamated Electric knothole, too, some day." "Do--do you mean it?" ventured Plank, turning red with delight. "Mean it? Indeed I do—if you do, Sit here. Ring for whatever you want, or perhaps you'd better go down to the sideboard. I'm not to be trusted with the odor in the room just yet." "I don't care for anything," said Plank. "Whenever you please, then. You know the house, and you don't mind my being unceremonious, do you?" "No," said Plank. "Good!" rejoined Siward, laughing. "I expect the same friendly lack of ceremony from you." But that for Plank was impossible. All he could do was to care the more for Siward without crossing the border line so suddenly made free. All he could do was to sit there, rolling and unrolling his gloves into wads with his clumsy, highly colored hands, and gaze consciously at everything in the room except Siward. On that day at Plank's shy suggestion they talked over Siward's business affairs for the first time. After that day, and for many days, the subject became the keynote to their intercourse, and Siward at last understood that this man desired to do him a service absolutely and purely from a disinterested liking for him and as an expression of that liking; also he was unexpectedly made aware of Plank's serenely unmerging business so earnth. As for the quid pro quo, Siward had insisted from the first on a business arrangement. The treachery of Major Belwether through sheer fright had knocked the keystone from the syndicate, and the dam which made the golden pool possible collapsed, showering Plank's brokers, who worked patiently with buckets and mops. The double treachery of Quarrier was now perfectly apparent to Plank. Siward, true to his word, held his stock in the face of ruin. Kemp Ferrall, furious with the major and beginning to suspect Quarrier, came to Plank for consultation. Then the defense formed under Plank. Legal machinery was set in motion, meeting followed meeting, until Harrington cynically showed his hand and Quarrier smiled his rare smile, and the fight against Intercounty was on in the open, preceded by a furious clamor of charge and countercharge in the columns of the daily press. That Quarrier had been guilty of something or other was the vague impression of that great news reading public, which, stunned by the reiteration of figures in the millions, turns to the simpler pleasures of a murder trial. Besides, whatever Quarrier had done was no doubt done within the chalk marked courts of the game, though probably his shoes may have become a little dusty. Slward, at his desk, the Sat sunshine pouring over him, sat conning the heaps of typewritten sheets, striving to see between the lines some sign of fortune for his investments. Gumble knocked presently. Slward raised his perplexed eyes. "Miss Page, sir." "Oh!" said Slward doubtfully. Then, "Ask Miss Page to come up." Marlon strolled in a moment later, exchanged a vigorous hand shake with Slward, pulled up a chair and dropped into it. She was in riding habit and boots, faultlessly groomed, as usual, her smooth pale hair sleek in its thick knot, collar and tie immaculate as her gloves. "Well," she said, "any news of your ankle, Stephen?" "I inquired about my ankle," said Slward, amused, "and they tell me it is better, thank you." "Sit a horse pretty soon?" she asked, dropping one leg over the other and balancing the riding crop across her knee. "Not for awhile. You have a fine day for a gallop, Marion," looking askance at the sunshine filtering through the first green leaves of the tree outside his window. "It's all right—the day. Where are your cigarettes, Stephen? Oh, I see. Don't try to move—don't be silly." She leaned over the desk, her fresh young face close to his, and reached for the cigarettes. The clean cut head, the sweetness of her youth and femininity, boyish in its allure, were very attractive to him—more so perhaps because of his isolation from the atmosphere of women. "It's all very well, Marlon, your coming here, and it's all very sweet of you, and I enjoy it immensely," he said. "I'm horribly afraid somebody will talk about you." "What would you do then?" "I? he asked, disturbed. "What could I do?" "Why, I suppose," she said slowly, "you'd have to marry me." "Then," he rejoined, with a laugh, "I should think you'd be scared into prudence by the prospect." "I am not frightened," she said gravely. Gravity fell upon him too. In this young girl's eyes there was no evasion. For a long while he had felt vaguely that matters were not perfectly balanced between them. At moments even he had felt an indefinable uneasiness in her presence. The situation troubled him, too, and, though he had known her from childhood and had long ago learned to discount her vagaries of informality, his common sense could not countenance this defiance of social usage, sure to involve even such a privileged girl as she in some unpleasantness. "Id be very glad to marry you—if you c- cared to," she said. "Marion!" "Yes?" "Oh—I—it is—of course it's a joke." "No; I'm serious." "But I—but you don't love—can't be in love with me!" he stammered. Gloved hands tightening on either end of her riding crop, she bent her knee against it, balancing there, looking straight at him. "I meant to tell you so," she said, "if you didn't tell me first. So I was rather tired waiting. So I've told you." "It is only a fancy," he said, scarcely knowing what he was saying. "I don't think so, Stephen." But he could not meet her candor, and he sat silent, miserable, staring at the papers on his desk. After awhile she drew a deep, even breath and rose to her feet. "I'm sorry," she said simply. "Marton—I never dreamed that"—"You should dream truer," she said. There was a suspicion of mist in her clear eyes. She turned abruptly to the window and stood there for a few moments, looking down at her brougham waiting in front of the house. "It can't be helped, can it?" she said, turning suddenly. He found no answer to her question. "Goodbye!" she said, walking to him, with outstretched hand. "It's all in a lifetime, Steve, and that's too short for a good clean friendship like ours to die in. I don't think i'd better come again. Look me up for a gallop when you're fit, and you might drop me a line to say how you're getting on. Is it all right, Stephen? "All right," he MILLER Their hands tightened in a crushing clasp. Then she swung on her spurred heel and walked "All right," he said on her spurred hoarsely. heel and walked out, leaving him haggard, motionless. Plank found him there an hour later fumbling among the papers and at THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER first feared that he read in Siward's drawn and sullen face a premonition of the ever dreaded symptoms. "Quarrier has telephoned asking for a conference at last," he said abruptly, sitting down beside Siward. "Well, inquired Siward, "how do you interpret that—favorably?" "I am inclined to think he is a bit uneasy," said Plank cautiously. "Harrington made a secret trip to Albany last week. It looks to me as though there were going to be a ghost of a chances for an investigation. Suppose I meet Quarrier?" "All right. Did he suggest a date?" "At 4 this afternoon. I think," observed Plank, laying his half consumed cigar on the silver tray, "that I'd better go downtown and see what our preglacial friend Quarrier wants. Siward, he is a bad man and crafty—every inch of him." "Oh, come, now! Only characters in fiction have no saving qualities. You never heard of anybody in real life being entirely bad." "No, I didn't, and Quarrler isn't. For example, he is kind to valuable animals—I mean his own." "Good to animals! The bad man's invariable characteristic!" laughed Siward. "I'm fond to 'em too. What else is he good to?" "Everybody knows that he hasn't a poor relation left—not one. He is loyal to them in a rare way. He filled one subsidiary company full of them. It is known downtown as the 'Home For Destitute Nephews.'" "Seriously, Plank, the man must have something good in him." "Because of your theory?" "Yes. I believe that nobody is entirely bad. So do the great masters of fiction." Plank said gravely: "He is a good son to his father. That is perfectly true—kind, considerate, dutiful, loyal. The financial world is perfectly aware that Stanley Quarrier is today the most unscrupulous old scoundrel who ever crushed a refinery or debauched a railroad, and his son no more believes it than he credits the scandalous history of the Red Woman of Wall street." Silward had never before seen Plank aroused, and he said so, smiling. (Continued next week) "THE UNPRECEDENTED CASE." The Boston Guardian thinks well of Senator Foraker's speech in behalf of the Negro soldiers recently delivered in the Senate, saying that, "Some consider the speech as unsurpassed of its kind in the history of the world." And strictly speaking it may be true enough since the world has never afforded a similar case. Of course there has been rigid discipline throughout all past time, the need of which were apparent since mutiny and irons illustrate many a naval chapter. Guns have been known to reverse and train on friends—rebellion—discord are writ large in the history of wars. Napoleon fled his own men owing to dissensions when in Africa, in spite of the memorable speech concerning the "forty centuries" represented in the pyramids—"invoked" to look down on his fighting hosts that they take courage. Perhaps no campaign of wars of great length has been without incidents of some kind whether of merely accusation or truth, charges going to the heads of governments. The case of Gen. Stoessel has recently arrested the attention of the world and doubtless his attorneys made vigorous and telling plea in his behalf. The history of war is filled with such cases, but history furnishes its first example, a case beyond the allegement, the thing of race enters, and not in the sense of Dreyfus, the Jew, in the French army, in whose case the matter of race was not so much emphasized until it became necessary to find some one on whom to fix the particular guilt. The race idea was accentuated owing to that fact, and perhaps would have made itself manifest as between one of any other nationality and o Frenchman under similar circumstances. As it is with the question is everlasting—morning, noon and night; until we are sometimes affrighted at the wrong time. It stands to reason that races are more or less clannish; they are the family over again, but with ties of less degree of intenseness the spirit is to preserve against those on the outside of the "chosen" circle, and which at times jeopardizes the peace and happiness of others. In our own country, it appears that we should not know very much of the clanship idea, nor do we, yet to say there are no evidences of it all would also say that the one so insisting is not well "calculated" for the job of observation. In our conglomerate citizenship —our merger "citizenship"—the race notion loses much of its force. Only on special occasions and mostly for political purposes is a special race mentioned, dOn the other han English, German, French, Italian, Jewish, Greek and the rest of them are blended into one harmonious whole, and commonly known as the "white" people. This term is of course "omnibus" in significance and gets its goowing to its "opposition." On the other side is a great people—in numbers at any rate—some ten million, and incidentally great we may say, since there are individuals among them who have won great distinction in various directions. These "blacks", who are not black are the complement, thus making up the total country. They are not of this blend spoken of, in the best sense, consequently we have anomulous conditions, such as are not known to other countries that "preach" one gospel to one people. We find it very necessary at times to have special messages, and of course according to the peculiar citizenship, So we may see a Foraker haranguing the multitude on o matter that pertains to the army in a special way, in a great way, in the very greatest way. In fact there areo precedents to any of these "things" the race is enduring, there is no reason why men could not grow eloquent when reviewing the trials of men who so often suffer merely because of color. It is certain that the affair now famous in history as the Brownsville "shoot up" had its beginning of a color premises. All along men have been influenced in ther opinions as much by the color question as through the evidence submitted. And which is simply the country over again in most things. The case, the speech are unprecedented and every other thing of moment arising from time to time. Stop borrowing your neighbor's paper and subscribe. REVOLT OF COLORED VOTERS.

Special to THE FREEMAN Hotel Notes. By W. FORREST COZART. An Enthusiast on the Foods and Wines of Europe. The Gourmet's Guide to Europe. By Lieutenant Colonel Newnham-Davis. Second edition. 16mo. pp. xv. 315. London: Macmillan. This author has dined in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Russia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Portugal, the Balkan countries, and the United States, for personal experience "what to eat and drink, and what to avoid, in those countries, Paris, of course, places in France, in Belgium, in Italy, it is. He says, the culinary center of the world, "Wherever the great cooks are born," he adds, "and most of them, as a matter of fact, are French, but come to Paris to learn their art, and then go out through the whole civilized world as culinary missionaries, preaching that French cuisine is the best, Haute Cuisine is the best." He goes on to show how the French cooks bring to their art, above all things, invention. The chef de cuisine who could not enunciate his opinion distinctly French, would be no proficient in his noble profession." Nature has been kind to these masters. They have at their doors some materials that can be used in the culinary world, for example. says Colonel Newham-Davis, "veal is practically an unknown meat in London, and the calf which has been fed on milk and yolk of egg, and which has flesh as a substitute, is snow only to be found in the Parisian restaurants. I know of one gourmet who was so enamored of French veal that he made a pilgrimage in the month of August to the market at its best. There is a temptation on men to cook a book to pause upon some exquisite dish. The author has a due sense of the importance of the surroundings in which he lives. For him the good restaurant has a personality, usually summed up in its proprietor. Speakings of Voisin's, he says that the proprietor, "M. Braquesac, gray haired with an aquiline nose, is always, when it is his time, distinguished looking man there." He quotes from another devotee a droll story of an Englishman who once demanded that his owlin's maitre d'hôtel was equal to his occasion; a polite wife but firm, and his assertion that 'the House of Voisin does not serve, has never served, and will never serve, plum maitre d'hôtel.' An anecdote anecdote to an occasion on which the author took a lady to breakfast at the Tour d'Argent. He began the order that he ordered of a椎体 himself with a suggestion of eggs on a man to decide how they should be prepared. Suddenly his companion spoke, saying, "Uffs a la plaat," with an air as of a cloud, and came back from the clouds and gave the water. It was not a look of anger or contempt, but simply an expression of pity for the whole of her sex. It is of this poet that Nimham-Davis tells the following anecdote: "Frederic is a believer, as all great maitres d'hôtel are, in a very short dinner. When the secretary of the Bering office interviewed Frederic, at Lord Hannen's request, he joined the members of the two missions would dine at the Tour d'Argent, and sketched out a twelve-course dinner with a sorbet in the middle of it, Frederic asked him poised to take a career diplomatists elsewhere, for such a career would never be served on the Qual de la Tourille. If this book had been written by a hide-bound purist, it would have been marked by regret over the classic restaurants of the past. Colonel Newham-Davis has the good sense to "omit the regulation long moan over *living* places which must cultivate culinary skills" so they have unquestionably disappeared, and others have fallen upon evil days, but this author knows perfectly well that this author is among the amusing encediners in Paris where elicited some amusing results. When the sole restaurant described by A as worthy of the old man is amusing, the encediners fully and mournfully observed "Cest fini!" He, of course, had a restaurant in mind that filled the bill, but when this was not so, no one else quoted the odd part of it was that C, a Parisian who had known the restaurants of his city for some fifty years, was at the moment dining, and that had next to no repute among the cognoscenti. There are changes in the management of some French restaurants, wrought by the treacherous and doubtedly proved disastrous. Increase of patronage has hurried the pace, and things are prepared in quantities and kept in place, and feet upon their integrity. The difference between a special dish of strawberries a la Cardinal and a tubful made ready for all comers is nothing less than tragic. One point well brought out by Colonel Newham-Davis relates to the cost of dining like a gentleman. Of course, it can be expensive, but the man who knows the language of the country and has any "fair" at all for the subject, may easily eat armchairs, dinnerware or about to himself. Naturally, he must keep his eyes open. The author tells a charming story of the Italian at Monte Carlo to whom a diner complained about an overly expensive dinner, and Ciro, "I take him off your bill and charge him to the grand duke. He not mind." We wish we could follow Colonel Newham-Davis's descriptions, tasting the delicious cooking of his dinners, for example, or testing what a good German housewife can do with a goose. The crab, by the way, he tells us, is better cooked and served. Germany, than any other country, does not note his protest against the familiar short-sighted view of Italian cooking. As he shows, it is far from being the coarse cook of the world. In fact, as he experienced tourist ignorantly asserts it to be. The author is similarly appreciative of the cookery of Spain, though he is careful not to exalt it too high. In fact, as he has shown, he has no interest, thus stupid, but discreet. He has the best that is to be said for the typical dinner to be had in Europe. His stores of information are precious. We especially appreciate the attention he pays to purely national dishes. Geo.

It was a most beautiful notification. The unveiling of Turkey—it must have been a spectacle. The great big Rockefeller fine will not come off, at least for a while. Corn is as busy as it usually gets to be. Tomatoes act as if they knew their season. Even old Turkey has caught the latter day notion of liberty, and civilization lifts its cap. Some of the streets in the northwestern section of the city where the colored people live need a good dredging. A good, big rake could work wonders. A "tender protectorate" over the Negroes is the way the National Lodge of Mosaic Templars referred to the Republican party last week at Paducah, Ky. Don't forget the Negro Business Men's League meets in Baltimore the 19th of this month. The league is one of the most useful organizations known to the race. Joe Gans says he will win this time, having reference to his forthcoming fight with Battling Nelson. Joe perhaps is whistling up his courage. It is right; they all do. But really, Gans has no right to become a has been so soon. The Turkish Koran received a black eye on the veiled woman proposition. Even that most ancient of books could not stand against the onward march of civilization. Man is advancing and the woman, if she maintains her relation, will advance right close up behind him. Rev. C. W. Neloms, of Louisville, Ky., was in the city last week on his way to Chicago, where he went to attend the convention of the Independence party. Rev. Neloms was elected as delegate at large from the State of Kentucky. He occupied the pulpit of the C. M. E. Church last Sunday night. The nature garden is uncovered in Turkey. "The sun do move," in the language of the late Rev. Jasper! The women of that far land have laid away the masques that have concealed their faces for years. It stands to reason that there'll be some ogling and angling going on until the people get used to it. So much beauty unveiled so suddenly will put the devoutest old Moslemite to test. There is no need for colored families in Indianapolis living amid squalor and dirt. If the family is large there's work for the big folks; if it is small then the expenses will be small, thus evening up things. Some sections of the city where people live, one in passing can think only of a great two-horse rake to clear up th streets—old cans, old hats, old brick-bats, any old thing you may want to see. And the pity of it is that no one seems disturbed about it. The twenty-sixth Grand Session of the National Lodge of Mosaic Templars (colored), came to a close in Paducah, Ky., on the 25th of July, with the installation of officers and a banquet. The next meeting will be held in Little Rock, Ark., in 1911. The organization commended the Republican administration and indorsed Taft for President. The resolution, in part, reads: "It is the one party that never has closed the door of hope in the face of the black man, and from the day that Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation to the present, the party has made a tender protectorate over the Negro." One of the future plans for the peace of the world embraces the following scheme: An electoral college made up of about 100,000 of the intellectual leaders of the world is to choose the peacemaker, the ballot being taken by mail, and the same to be opened, counted and confirmed by the first full session of the united parliaments, following the coming interparliamentary union in Berlin next September. Those interested in the league say they believe the choice for the world's peacemaker will rest between Andrew Carnegie, President Roosevelt, King Edward of England and Emperor William of Germany. In some sections of the city where the colored people live the streets are filled with bricks, tin cans, old hats and every manner of rubbish; yet --- hundreds of these people sit out on the sidewalks, since they have no yards, with all of this mess right in front of their homes. They go on the theory that it is the city's business, most likely, and therefore the city must clean up. It is an body's business to get away the unsightly scenes. Civilization is not advancing where such conditions obtain. The colored people do sit like to be thought of as a slum people. Yet they go from such surroundings looking like the contents of band boxes, "holding up their hoops" as they go in and out. Perhaps they are not in love with their dove cot looking homes, but at that they might be made as attractive as muscle and brain can make them. President Roosevelt is greatly delighted at the report of the American athletes abroad. The following is noted: The President's interest in the victories of the American athletes at London in the Olympic games, the American committee of which he was the honorary president, is great, and it is not improbable that he will take some part in the proposed reception to the athletes on their return from England, should the plans have all the members of the American contingent return at the same time instead of making visits abroad, be successful. It was said today that it is not unlikely that should Mr. Roosevelt be unable to go to New York for the welcome he may invite the victors in a body to Sagamore Hill to there tell them how greatly pleased he is over the remarkable showing they made at London. And then again, thinking about business opportunities, colored men could combine their moneys and build better homes for the colored people, building them on the outskirts of the city where it is cool and clean. Some of the colored people would rather live in an alley in the heart of town than to live in the most lovely surrounded home on Fall creek. In all directions excepting central north lots are cheap, can be bought at 50 cents per week. Some firms will put up modest homes and give the people a chance to earn them as if by rent. But no; many prefer to snuff ashes, just to be down town. The white people have gone the limit. Not much chance to get a lot directly north as far as the State Fair Grounds for less than a thousand dollars. The poor man has not worked his territory; it extends in every direction—not north, but just as good for home purposes. The white Australian Act has greatly disturbed the statesmen of the Japanese Empire. The intent of the act is implied in the title, to preserve that country to white men as against the hordes of colored men that "menace" it from every side. The Japanese feel especially offended and the great men of the country, when free to express themselves, have done so most certainly. They say that Japan must expand; that its rapid increase in population demands an outlet; its sphere of influence must be greater than it is in order to meet the demands of the coming years. To say that they feel outraged is to express it mildly, and in their protest do not fall to cite America as another example of prohibition to the colored people. They maintain that the opposition is based on color, a nature-given condition, and therefore unjust and unrighteous. They, many of them, think the act will fall of performance, insisting that the country is not "acculated" to flourish under the care of the white man. Australia is torrid in the most part, and for this reason their scientists say that the white man will not long remain white as a denizen there. They cite their own country as an example of climatic influence, light men and dark men being the products of the cool and hot regions respectively. The Japanese are practically unanimous on the point of expansion and most likely see in Australia their future home. They are grimly determined and seem only content to let things slow along until the word advance is given. President Roosevelt is a stickler for adequate armament, going on the theory that if there is a call for preparation that it does not mean half preparation, but thorough preparation. His somewhat extreme views are reasonable in the light of what is. Other nations are not dismantling their ships, nor turning their guns into plow shares and pruning hooks, and until they beg in this the Americans will do well to strive for the first place, as it has attained in most things. Mr. Roosevelt is in for the glory of the nation; he is somewhat paternal, but luckily is thoroughly dominated with the quality of good intent; it makes his somewhat kingly bearing tolerable even in the republic. In accepting the honorary presidency of the Peace and Arbitration League, which is the outgrowth of the North Carolina Congress, he had the following to say: "My Dear Mr. Davis—I am in receipt of your letter inclosing notice of my election as first honorary president of the peace league, and gladly accept; for I most emphatically believe the whole American people should subscribe to what you call your 'practical program for peace'; that is, to the doctrine that we should provide adequate armament to protect us against all aggression, and at the same time strive for the effective arbitration of any and all disputes that may arise between us and foreign powers where it is possible to submit to arbitration. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." ON MR. TAFT'S AVOIRDUOISE. Some of the newspaper people, for the want of something else to do, are holding up Mr. Taft's avoiddupoise, insisting that he is a fat man, as if that "quality" reflected on his candidacy. When it comes to geniality, liberality and the other virtues demonstrative of the desirable man, the fat man is the one to apply to. Shakespeare inveighs against your lean, hungry man, insisting that he didn't sleep well o' nights, the inference being that he was uncompanionable, not frank, free, looks locked up like a clam, indicative of the marble heart. but on the no. 1 night in the business, city busienses, where eloquent of as such contents their Per their that we as. y derican The Republican candidate for President is said to be beautifully proportionate, and that he really is not a fat man, but a big man. Mr. Taft, however, is not wholly infatuated with himself on the question of weight, and is said to have reduced himself from something over 300 pounds to considerably less. He doubtless does not want to be inconveniently big, nor does any one think that he is so. He is perhaps a little sensitive on the point, since he finds himself larger than the men of his political circles. But he should not be disturbed. Big men look becoming in big places. Saul was selected ruler because he stood head and shoulders over everybody else. The people are prepared to see great fellows in great places and are disappointed when it is different. sists of waiters at the Lincoln and the Linden hotels. The clubs were formed on the initiative of the men themselves as a coalition. A man in the movement declare they will be able to accomplish some results which will result in astonishment when the campaign is lost. The Brownsville matter may still rattle, but the principal motive behind the organization of the local clubs was simply a high regard for Mr. Bryan. The hostlers of Lincoln may not Mr. Bryan pretty than the public schools, leaving there for not Normal, Ala., where he graduated from the A. and M. College in 1898.

Special to THE FREEMAN. Dr. Chas. G. Gray departed this life July 18. He was arrested in Florence, attained the public schools, leaving there for Normal, Ala., where he graduated from the A. and M.

Mr. Taft, having been officially notified as to his nomination, more than likely will lose no time in setting about his campaign. The Republicanans are aware of the prodigious amount of work before them. In recent years the party has not known such defection as it knows today. The Negroes are to be reconciled, a thing which promises to be very difficult to do. Besides this, Mr. Taft is legatee of the anti-administration influence which is always considerable, amounting virtually to a question of the ins and outs among those who do things. Beyond this yet is the anti-Roosevelt influence, which will be most difficult to placate. The genial ex-Secretary, however, is nothing daunted, moving as if he were a sure winner. His great personality may prove his saving, at any rate it is his greatest asset. His opinion is somewhat of a match for him in that respect, and we think more popular with the masses. But Mr. Taft has that other quality, that of extreme fitness for the job, a thing generally conceded. As the day draws nigh on which the choice is to be made men will grow reflective, weighing the two in the light of what is the very best for the country and decide accordingly. In fact, there is no doubt of it but what the voters will think long and well before making a selection which has to do with their own personal welfare as it has to do with the welfare of the country. Mr. Bryan has nothing by way of opposition to overcome; he has long since cleared the track of all obstructions, fairly reversing the positions of the candidates within recent years. He is in a most splendid condition for making the race. The Republicanans know this and are uneasy as to the possible outcome. The question as we view it will not be so much as to policies, since radicalism and are not the parts of the programs of either party. The question will be one of ability, fitness to take hold of the government and to conduct it successfully—in other words, it will be a question of confidence. Rev, R. A.

The wood used in the construction is of the finest mahogany, with beautifully carved brass handles, and finished brass plate, upon which an appropriate sentiment is engraved. A close friendship has existed for years between Mr. Tyler and Major Anderson, and naturally this magnificent reminder from an old and beloved chum. A striking photo, artistically framed in mahogany, also accompanied the chair across the sea.

He is a member of the Choral Society; he readily contributes to the churches and charities carried on by our people; is ever on the alert to lend his influence to secure appointments or positions in the church and in all possible ways he demonstrates his faith in our capacity for superior service and opens doors of opportunity wherever he has the key.

Miss Blanche Wright, of Chicago, has been transferred to the office of the auditor for the Navy Department at $300 per hour. She was transferred to Auditor Ralph W. Tyler.

Rather than see a deserving young girl of his race thus lose out, Mr. Tyler came to her rescue and that she was given a generous salary.

The people asked for Kid Trombone when Garay and Bamboo opened up. Little Bamboo stands ready to meet any boy of his age or wooden shoes for a side baton of $750. THE RABBIT FOOT COMPANY. The Rabbit's Foot Comedy Company opened in Columbia, S. C. Monday, July 14. A large crowd attended the performer that the audience was aware of the day before, for years. Arthur Happy Howe plumeted hit, furnishing comedy for the with Wines in the audience was also carried away with talks in the audience talking specially.

The directoire gown, the latest creation of the French modistes, was given its first American display on the streets of Muncie, Ind., Saturday, and a ban has been enacted by the more ethically inclined citizen. As advertised, an actress made a trip from the court house square to the theater attired in the gown, but the precepter morale would not permit him rampant display in his hosiery. As a result the young woman was arrested at the theater this evening by a constable with a warrant from the court of Justice of the Peace Walter F. Pierce, the warrant having been issued to doivit charging public indecency, sworn to by Joseph McCloskey, a local barbender. LOWERY'S MUSICAL ENTERPRISE.

CUTTING WAGNER MUSIC ALMOST CAUSES RIOTING The curtailment of Wagner's inordinately long opera, "Die Walkure," caused nearly a riot at the Imperial Opera House at Vienna, where aggerian works have been performed. The director, Herr Weingartner, the new director, who was conducting for the first time a performance of this opera, by shortening it by half an hour had given deep offense to a number of devout Wagnerians in the gallery. When Weingartner appeared in the conductor's chair he was greeted from the gallery with hisses and whistling, and cheers for Mahier, his predecessor. The performers were in favor of the "cuts," and the conflict of the two factions was drowned by the fortissimo strains of the overture. The disturbance was renewed whenever the performance reached a point where the performers obviously being persons with an intimate knowledge of the opera. Eventually six of the ringleaders in the gallery were arrested. After the show the police had to arrest the performers and "pro-cutters," who were continuing the quarrel in the street. DEATH OF JAMES W. JOHNSTON "AMPHIONS" ON THE POTOMAC. "The moonlight" given by the famous Amphibion Glee Club, on the Potomac, last Saturday, night, on the steamer "Jane Moseley," was one of the most enjoyable events of the heated meeting, 1,000 persons participated, and the stop at Washington Park for an hour, on the return trip, for dancing and sight-seeing, was the piece of resistance that Lewis was in his happiest mood and had a cherry word for everybody, while President J. H. Washington looked after the club brought out, but brand new repertory of songs, some of which they will use for the swell social functions for which they are engaged this past week, and enthusiastic encores indicated that they made good. So successful was the initial excursion of the Amphibions that, in response to popular request, they will be given them with them on the evening of August 8. No musical organization in Washington has a larger following among the best people than the Amphibion Glee Club. They know how to treat their friends right. William W. Orme, formerly identified with the Amphibion Glee Club, the Metropolitan Church choir and the musician responsible for being a member the metropolitan police force of the District and is making a fine record. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the talented elocutionist, leaves this week to fill in for the late Dr. Roberts in the lantic City, Asbury Park and Cape May, returning in time to accept an invitation to appear at Baltimore in connection with the memorial of the National Negro Business Legacy. . . . The Whitman sisters, who have been with us for several weeks, and who have played to dig home and make their farewell bow Friday night at True Reformers' Hall. Miss Alice Randolph, the musical director of the troupe, is a general Conservator, Music, New York, and has made an excellent impression by her painstaking and conscientious work while here, as has also helped the show, who has been dubbed "the pocket edition of Ernest Hogan." The Whitmans, Miss Randolph and Master Robinson go to Atlantic City for the month of August. Williams and Walker are expected here so soon and much, if a suitable theater can be obtained. AR-WTEE. CHICAGO SHOW ITEMS. by John B. Stolz. The south end of State street has a five cent theater war. There are seven houses in the battle. The fight is equal to the one that we had in the big houses here. The battle is the Pekin and two new houses called the Grand and Dunbar. First on the field was the Lincoln, Malvy's house. His was only a trial. Business was so good with him that the Monogamous out Business was so good with them that the others cut in. These houses started out with motion pictures and a song once changed now; each place puts on a regular vaudeville bill, and moving pictures are of little interest now. The following bills are being offered in the different houses for the field. LELAND GIANTS DEFEAT SPALDINGS IN NINTH Colored Team Noses Out a Victory by Bases on Balls. The Leland Giants nosed out the Spaldings Saturday, in the ninth inning of the game at Auburn Park, Chicago, the colored boys winning 4 to 3. The winning a medal The Grand is the finest five cent house in this section of the town. They have been offering a strong bill ever since they have been offering the "Skate Dance King," heads this bill, and he is a king on his feet when it comes to dancing. His finish of the Dance of All Nations is followed by Lizzie Hart, the best singer that ever sang at this price. Next is Clarence Everett. He sings an illustrated song, which the band showed up around here. He is modest in manner and knows how to sing this kind of song, and does so with ease. The featra that knows how to play everything—at least it looks that way. . . . The Dunbar is a cute little theater, owned by Dr. Richerson, a local colored dentist. Charley Young is the manager home for the young singers, very nice, and they deserve all they get, for this is a team above the average. They are followed by a young lady that she sings an Indian love song she will remain unheard of. Just as she finishes, another young lady comes out and sings a song that is not too poorly sung, and I don't suppose it makes any difference whether their names are mentioned or not. The bill is closed by the singer, and the song and this singer are worth the price of a half dozen admissions. Mr. Young has a habit of singing old songs, for he knows his clever singing will tide him . . . The Monogram is one of the big little houses. It is under the sole management of a young colored lady by the name of Miss Willie Ingals. This young lady is right among the ranks of the fighters and is more than holding her own, offering a smile, a smile, and a smile, not heavy, but it draws the people. The dancing "Kitties" do very well. The animated song is excellent. Her pictures are unquestionably the best on the line. --- The Royal is a nice little house. It loomed up in the limelight when they produced the female minstrels. They were the best of the show and it has been on a high road ever since. Offers for attractions are Miss Carrie Stith, a young lady that can sing if she is lacking of interest in her work will hurt her and any other woman. She is about the only one that can do a single in any house. Following her is Prof. Rogers, the ventriloquist. He has a large collection of dren in "Love Making," not very interesting nor funny, but he comes to his own when he brings out "Little Rastus" and she will send "very" earl. He should discard hisurn and a wound of the latter. The picture, "Over the Hills to the Poor House," is the best this house has offered. The illustrated song and the working songs awaits. The Lincoln is Marsh's house. The invader of this community with five cent theaters is a past grand master at the business, and has put more of the acts to the business. His Monday night showing was not so good. The Nash is a real "hook" act, the pictures fine and the songs splendid. There is no telling what Malvy will be doing, but six of these five cent theaters in the city. --- The theater without a name is owned, managed and controlled by a man by the name of use, and a use man is he for seeing it, and a use man is he for wise enough to get out of this hole he will be wiser than anybody else around here. This man has had two productions. He is a man who is wise enough to get out of this hole "Girls," and the next was "The Dearborn Street Bears." The next big production was "The Dearborn Street Nine." It is said that Wise is a rich man; it is also said that where there is money luck will change. Well, somebody will be wise enough to get out of this war has drawn nightly four to five sand people on State street, but it has killed the local business. It seems like "downday" in Dahome. You can meet any of your long lost friends in this grand parade. THE DENVER GIANTS The Colorado Giants, of Denver, Col., have the strongest colored team of the West, and will play in or out of the State in all games on games and lost three. Arrangements made by writing to William O'Steam, manager, 2032 Larimer street. The line-up includes: William Williams, catchers; Geo. Williams and Robt. Bills, pitchers; Duke White, first base; Ollie Banks, second base; Scottie Williams, shortstop; William Anderson, third base; Richard Borton, right field; center field; Frank Kempson, right field; Rich Forter, substitute. GUNTHERS SHUT OUT BY EAST- ERN VISITORS A combination of two doubles and a hurried throw by Al Schall in the eighth inning gave the Philadelphia Giants two wins, the victory which ended the Friday of last week, by the score of 2 to 0, at Gunther Park. Hayman's magnificent control and his catcher's grand work beat the home talent, but two hits being of him, while his teammate faced him. Ray's catch and throw home in the second was a feature.

The Easterners looked strong, but luck broke against them. Fisher, a southpaw, twirled an excellent game and deserved to win, while Charley Merz kept hits scattered. Francis, the third baseman of the Giants, was a whole team in himself, playing a wonderful game. "Doll, Hilgenberg," he added, swell plays for the West End. Score. WEST ENDS WEST Mahoney, r. f. R. H.

Three colored men sang their way out of jail, at Scranton, a, after being arrested on the Fourth, for vagrancy. While murdered on the Fourth, the afternoon, many patriotic in good mood, Majestate John T. Howe, who is a veteran of the Civil War, heard them. The songs brought tears to his eyes and he ordered the release of the men. * The Globe General and Fraternal Bonding Company of Minnesota has been incorporated.

Green, of New Orleans, La., is president of the organization, at Washington, D. C. * In Hamilton, O., recently the leading colored attorney, Thos. Howard, by mistake left the court thinking that his case was too small to be rushed after him, and in addition to yelling, grabbed him by the arm to drag him back. Then Attorney Howard brought to him the case, which is that caused the presumptuous official to hastily fold his tent and to the woods. * At Philadelphia, Pa., a white Southerner by the name of C. P. Springer is running an ordinary eating house, who has placed signs at the front entrance at the back of the building, following wage printed in white letters on a black background: "Colored customers not wanted in this restaurant. This is the first case where such signs have appeared in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., Captain W. M. J.

Merrill, president of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., tendered his resignation recently as president of that institution. Dr. Merrill has been connected with Fisk University for nine years, first year he served as principal agent. Then he removed the late Dr. Cravath, Dr. Merrill was appointed acting president. His services were of such character that at the end of the year he was selected permanent president. He exerted great effort in his work, but was forced to do so on account of ill health. His successor has not yet been named. Mr. W. Sidney Pittman, the well-known architect, has been given a $90,000 school to erect in Garfield, D. C., by the commis- sioners of the District of Columbia, on the recommendation of the inspector of buildings. This is the first honor that has ever been bestowed upon a colored architect by the city of Columbia, in 1837, persecuted in Garfield, District of Columbia. Mr. Pittman, it will be remembered, erected the Negro building at the Jamestown Exposition, and so well pleased was the city that gave him a national reputation. This will be a twelve-room school for colored children. L. W. Green, who succeeded the late Samuel W. Starks as chancellor commander of a school, will be promoting a scheme which will give members of the Negro race theaters of their own in the large cities of the South, where they are even positive exclusion from the best performances that visit in that section. Mr. Green proposes to build lodge halls in all the larger cities of the South and install a nished theater. One such building is under construction in New Orleans at this time, the foundation has been completed and the steel work is well under way. Dr. Willis S.

In story form, and the plot is said to be one of the most unique that has ever appeared in American literature. The genius of the author, for the solution of the race question at its most acute point, the question of suffrage at the South. But wrapped about this question is a story of general interest, which will be confidently expected that Mr. Griggs will more than ever challenge the attention of the best thought of the nation. In commenting upon the "Lily White" delegations of the South at the recent Chicago convention, Robert L. O'Brien, editor of the convention, wrote in a letter in the faith for the rights of the Negro said to an Associated Press reported recently: "This is the whitest Republican convention since the War. The small number of delegates is the subject of considerable comment before the campaign is over, not only by the colored people themselves, but by their own leadership and anticedentate "there is something pathetic in the question of the Negro in this convention. Formerly, while he had little to do with the ceclection, he was quite a factor at conventions and prominence. The view of the delegates as seen from the platform, in the old conventions, was striking by reason of its cloud of dark faces over great sections of the South." It marks the declining influence of the black man in American polites." NEGRO BECOMES MAYOR. Augusta, Ga., all is stirred up because of the arrival home of Robt. B. Williams, a black British mayor of Onslow City, N.Y., who has been an animny playing around the streets of Augusta.

From here he goes England to pay his respects to King Edward. COLORED PHYSICIAN APPPOINTED. The action of the administration in creating the position is being highly praised both races, irrespective of political affiliation. A prominent merchant, well known in Democratic circles, when asked for an administration regarding its action, the minister told: "I think the lines established by the health authorities and citizens to stamp out disease of every character. In my opinion, it is of equal importance to the merchant, or the tuberculosis sanitarium near the city. It will 'help build the fence,' and is a wise move. . . . a well-known merchant, the appointee, is a well-known and respected citizen, and was formerly proprietor of a drug store in the East End. He is connected with Red Cross Sanitarium, and has been identified as the proprietor of race enterprises for many years. In his appointment the citizens of Louisville are justly proud, as a more capable, efficient representative could not have been found. BOSTON NEGROES TALK FINANCE Special to THE FREEMAN BOSTON, Mass.—Unusual and significant was the meeting of the select gathering of progressive young Boston Neighborhoods in New York, to discuss finance last Friday evening at the beautiful home of Mr. Philip Allston, on West Canton street. Neighbors of the Negroes in Boston, but significant of the race's rise and future was this gathering of the younger generation, who, regardless of political factional belief, met with earnest interest far into the night. They discussed high finance bad finance and finance in general with all the fluency of the youngest students, were long experienced, and nearly every one had had some experience in the world of money and stocks. At the graduate of and former financial agent for Tuskegee, now with broker offices "in the heart of the Wall street district," held the close attention of the students, narrated his successful career, and the superior possibilities of judicial stock investment. He said that Wall street knew no better way to pay for his money and security. He said that a colored man could buy Standard Oil stock or any other stock, and that it urgently behooves the Negro to make from 25 to 50 per cent. on their money with other stock investors, instead of the 5 and 6 per cent. his money earns for his savings banks, life insurance and real estate. month.

Realizing the demand among the Negro people for an educated ministry, the Tuskegee Institute TOO STINGY TO SUBSCRIBE A man was too economical to take the paper and sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by his neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a $5 stand of bees that he had caught in his summer quash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance and failing to notice the barbed wire fence, ran to the barn where he saw a handful of flesh from his ruining a $4 pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap and got into the cornfield and killed herself eating green Herons. He ran to the barn upsetting a four gallon churn of rich cream into a basket of chickens, drowning the whole flock. In the hurry she dropped the chickens and ran to her gaby alone, crawled through the pollinator milk and into the parlor, ruining a brand new $20 carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired dog, she drove up the setting hens, and the doormen put up and chewed the tails off four fine skirts. AMUSEMENT PARKS BURNED. Negro Resorts Burned by Whites at Beaumont—Loss About $40,000. BEAUMONT, Tex., July 29.—As the result of excitement coming from the alley, a girl, two Negro assaultment parkers in the North End of the city, near the scene of the crime were last week set on fire and the officers were attracted by the flames. There is intense feeling against the Negroes and an outbreak would not be surprising.

The damage by fire is about $40,000. DISCRIMINATION IN LIBRARY. Negroes Are Barred from the Carnegie Library. GUTHRIE, Okla., July 30.—An effort is being made here to establish a library for the Negro community. Judges Perkins and E. I. Saddler are hacking the movement, which was started by Mrs. L. Horton. There is a Carnegie Library in this city, Negroes are barred from taking advantage of it. They have been informed that Negroes have no privileges in the city. The Carnegie Library was established with the idea that the institution would be open to all citizens regardless of color, the management has made a "Jim Crow" rule which keeps colored citizens out. Several of the city fathers have made known that the Negro library as soon as the July assessments have been made. According to the position taken by members of the City Judges, the Negro library will have a public library before long. WAR ON MARIE BOLDEN. New Orleans School Board Is Up in Arms.

Upon Superintendent Easton's return from Cleveland he expected to be met at the board members of the board of education, believing that he receive congratulations for the excellent showing made by his scholars. But he was sadly disappointed. When he reached Orleans not a person was at the depot. He was given another surprise when he later learned that the school board contemplated impeaching him for allowing the New Orleans children to compete with the Negro children, according to one member of the board of education, Superintendent Easton should have immediately left Cleveland when he learned that Neo Since Marie Bolden won the contest several white teachers who have taught in the colored public schools here have tenure and the place their places will be filled, by colored teachers.

According to late reports of the 400-meter flat race in the Olympic meet, at London, J. B. Taylor has made a wonderful debut as a passing part of the report was that Taylor won his first heat easily." He simply carried out his part of the program to the queen's bench to get the petition to have little but that would have done even better had not the English people been so strongly unfit to the whole American team. In the second day try-over of the 400-meter race the English officials that when an American had won the race it was declared "no race," and J. B. Taylor was dragged out of the race. The race which had been seized by the English spectators. Taylor was not given a "square deal" at the start, for the signal was given before he had time to get in position. The Olympic game against other contestants got a dozen or more hands the handicap on the black champion in the outset. From all accounts that Taylor had been an Olympic game in the highway robbery the English officers had indulged in throughout the meet. They seem to be sorely prejudiced against the 400-meter race out of place for a civilized people to engage in such pursuits as that of the 400-meter race occurrence. Speaking of brothers, Jack Johnson's brother has gone to England to join the black champion's training camp. It is not the intention of Johnson to make a fighter out of his brother, but he will use him as a fighter in his biathlon tour in England. The fight between Johnson and Martin Hart will come off next October, if present plans go through. John McKee, the manager of Hart, has sent a letter to Johnson to explain his tour terms and if the club will allow $500 for expenses Hart and Johnson will fight the middle of next October. When we pause to consider that since the baseball season opened nearly ten have been killed in one way or another, it is important to argue the argument advanced by moralists that batting is brutal and dangerous; yet it does not happen once in ten years that it a determined professional pugilist is killed in a brawl. It does not happen with all the knocks against boxing, the sport is clean, fair, and not any more dangerous than baseball. On the whole, no need to raise a mad dog scare with all the knocks against boxing, the sport is clean, fair, and not any more dangerous than baseball. On the whole, no need to raise a mad dog scare with all the knocks against boxing, the sport is clean, fair, and not any more dangerous than baseball. No matter how raky an event can be, the number of numbers, and the people will look to see it. The writer has never seen boxing match where there was need for it, yet he has been present at numerous other events, and the path of this country must have some reason to display the energy and enthusiasm that is in their system, and because a boy is known is no reason why thousands of people are swimming, must take this matter to light, must be too harsh in criticising clean and sport on account of the hazard of boxing, of those who participate in boxing, of those whom come down to sport, in which each has equal chance. A pugilist will hit if his opponent stays down on the mat ten seconds, it is not necessary that the defended man be punished or even scratched in the encounter, it is not necessary that it fits in the American category of like it was made to take front rank. An American who knows how to use his in his fight is better than any warrior loaded down with swords and pistols. the "four-cornered" track at the fair Terre Haute, Ind., where world masters or speed were made after the master course. It is to be known as a world record track; it is a puzzered horsemen and experts as a faster time could be made on it more secure. There is no other track dipped like the comparisons cannot be made. The track was not made purposely "four-cornered," but it did not never before surveyed a available and all he did was to use the available and to make a mile circuit, on one side of the track, on the other of the other the Vandilla tracks. There he squeezed his track between them and pushed the back stretch far away from the starting point. Drives worried by the horses, instead of worried by the change in the use of their way fast, than before. Perhaps the secret of the course over position shaped track is that more of straight going on this track, that also explains why the pole others have so much advantage, feet more on the race than on a regu- nary track. is certainly the happy ground for their acceding to Willie Lewis, who, in the belief of his vogue in the gay cap- ital, yielded to a homesickness and came to get a glimpse of Broadway. Lewis was greatly shortened after he was a great light town, and they're duly on the game, and women go there as well as men. Why, they dress in low-neck and men are here with their evening stuff. You are here with their that you are going to a fight in Paris, because she's as big a bug as you are yourself, and you have to make it for "Same McVey is the king over there. They think he's better than Jeffries. He is better than Jeffries. If he's ever licked, though, they will through with him. Stanton can't get a bag of peanuts for fighting since I chose him out. He was the big card there before we came and when I was introduced and challenged him they booted and howled like mad." A copy of the London Sportsman, which reached me the other day, contained the following uniquely wored advertisement: THE OXFORD. EVERY EVENT WAS MAY MATINEE. Special engagement for two weeks only of JACK JOHNSON. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. THE MAN WHO LET DODOE. The greatest fighter the world has ever known. The Man Whom Tommy Burns Won't Fight Unless They Guarantee Injury. Johnson is a Fighter, not a Showman. Burns is doing all he can to "knock" the opponent. He sailing for Australia he wrote as follows: "Johnson was showing here all last week. He worked on a 50 per cent basis, and on Tuesday and Thursday nights he would have people there. For the four nights he didn't get quite 250 francs—that's not quite $50 in American money. I fought him to death, and match him they showed me the books. Johnson tried to get McVey to fight him and fight a twenty-round draw. I got it straight. I start him to die, and match him, I'll come back my terms, to take the Squires match away from him. The National tried to get Squires and Johnson for June 15, you can gamble I got you beat that man. A percentage of Johnson's earnings in Paris won't amount to much. I wonder if they can frame any new fake stories about me? In America are wise to them now. "I land in Australia August 13, and I want to go back to Australia and want Squires for my second fight there." HERCULEANS TO LINE UP AGAIN. Among the strong teams of last season in football circles was the Hercules, of whom he was a member, who make the showing that she has in former years, nevertheless she was a credit to her team. She has tends to strengthen the team up as it has never been before. Coach Wilson is on the alert for new material this season, and starts in training a little earlier than usual. MAJOR TAYLOR INJURED BORDEAUX, France, July 15—While taking part in the races at the Park Velodrome, recently, Major Taylor, the bicyclist, bursting of one of the tires. His right arm was badly hurt, and he received other injuries and will not be able to race for some time. Taylor is one of the best American sprint riders in this country. PROTEST AGAINST OUTSIDERS. Chicago Complains of Outside Teams Coming. CHICAGO, Ill., July 23—Local semi-professional players are protesting against the introduction of outside teams, a petition by the Chicago Park Owners' Association for signatures of players who will refuse to compete against the visitors. The clubs almed at are the Eastern colored and Cuban teams, and the Chicago clubs have been securing the cream of the local dates, while Chicago clubs have been forced to disband. The Philadelphia Giants are due to arrive here this week, and their appearance only be the last of any of the Easterners. FOOTBALL SEASON APPROACHES. Many New Plays Will Be Developed This Fall. Football managers, coaches and players are busy arranging teams and getting in form for the coming season of football. They must harden their muscles by doing all sorts of hard labor to make ready for the strenuous work on the gridiron this fall. The managers are figuring on who will be eligible to play, while the coach is the king of the schedule. Is the day of the line bucker a thing of the past? Doesn't the style of play now in vogue demand a line plunger? Has it become a play for the old line bucker will have to become an end runner and forget the smashing football of four years ago? From watching the games of the last time, you can see but feel that all teams need a line bucker as bad as they need a good kicker. The reason for this is that with the change in the style of play the style of football defense has been a dead one with the bigger schools for five years. The double line defense is now the thing. In fact, it has been the smash for years. The bucks play hard and shift while the ends smash the interference. Since the introduction of the forward pass the coaches have made this secondary line defense move back to back plays fifteen yards back of the line of scrimmage. With men this far back it throws greater responsibility of stopping the line plunges of the opponents on the forward plunger should be good for from three to four yards with conditions as stated. Of course, it is necessary to vary the play, but at that a second line defense cannot come in. The defense being made by the dreaded forward pass. TAYLOR TAKES GREAT HONOR. Negro Sprinter an Eye-Opener to Engl lish LONDON, July 28—J. B. Taylor, Irish-American A. C., the colored champion of the University of Pennsylvania, made his first appearance in this event, and the remarkable ease with which he won the eye-on-camera. The English critics, in warm reception and won his heatly. Rhyl of Cambridge, who had a walkover in this heat, had a somewhat similar stride to Taylor, but without the strength. Taylor is the winner of the United Kingdom because of his ability as an athlete and his manner as a gentleman. TWO GREAT STAR BALL PLAYERS "The Black Rusie" and the Famous Grant. Only the fact that the color line is drawn in baseball prevents the starred line of that game from being started by some pitcher. Wilson, the famed "Black Rusie" of the Cuban Giants, had more speed, those who have watched him say, than any pitcher that ever lived. Wilson said that has probably never been equaled. As a first baseman, too, he was a second Hal Chase. He was a tall, rangy southpaw. After Ned Hanlon watched him work he said he would get $10,000 for him if he did not paint white. "I have never seen a pitcher with such speed," is the opinion of Hughie Jennings. Wilson was the first player back to the fence as though he were afraid of a home run, only to strike the batter out. He used to make them sit on the bench. From him, Waddell got his idea. Grant, their second baseman, was another wonder. He could bat and field like Lajoie. Muggsy McGraw to get him into the game as an Indian, but the plan it is remarkable that the build of most of these Negroes was in the public. Most of them were built on the lines of a thoroughbred racing horse, and they bungled of muscles. And practi- THE FREEMAN.

What was really the matter with Puggy in the second game? Johnson, old boy, you are the goods. You almost fought the second battle by yourselves. Whenever a ball goes out in the left field of the A. B. C.'s just say she's gone to her reward. There is a little bit of out there that always gets the bacon and sausages it home, and that is "Sure Nuff Davis." Why don't they cut some of those weeds down, out in center field of Northwestern Pine? Captain Merida might lift his batting average if he did not chew so much to tobacco. So say several. It might be that such chewing is nervous. Babe "Heroin" would do well to learn over the art of batting. Batting at anything that comes along is only child's play. Mir Gordon, the catcher, always does well because he is an earnest player. Before any one should find fault with him they should remember that Sam does well for one so broken as he. He is an excellent catcher at all times, and also a play who is steady and as cool as a cucumber. "Rube" Washington, one of the A. B. C.'s giant pitches, is delivering the goods away of the "subway ball," and it's a peach "Rube" is soon to become a star card. GANS TO TAKE REST. CHICAGO DEFEATS BUXTON. **BUXTON, Ia., July 28.**—The Chicago Unions and the Buxton Wonders crossed bats here Sunday and Monday, July 19 and August 1. The Chicago Wonders scored the day score was 6 to 2 on Monday 4 to 0. It was the first defeat for Buxton, as she has defeated all of the best amateur teams in the league, won here by the Unions made nineteen straight victories. The Unions were given a reception and escorted through the coal mines and were well satisfied with their success. WILL HAVE TENNIS TOURNEY. Indianapolis is soon to have a tennis tourney among its young colored ladis. The Y. M. C. A. it is rumored, is preparatory for the tournament, well as the Young Men's Independent Club. Mr. Harry Jackson, who is one of the promoters, stated that there was much enthusiasm being raised over the outcome of the tournament, and that a successful tourney," said he, "if one is to judge by the feeling already aroused by the young folks about town. Much of the tourney, although really not any sort of arrangements have been made." SAM GORDON'S QUIP. Of all the quick-thinking baseball players in the game-to-day perhaps there is none who can exceed Sam Gordon, the ace of the pitchers. Catch him to handing 'em out to you right off the reel. Sam Gordon is also one of the most popular as well as gentlemanly men in the league, a disciple of harmony he leads all the rest. He it was who used to hold our eccentric friend, Pitcher Merriman, so well in his character, and his facetious savings were greatly appreciated by the big pitcher, while as a jollier he had 'em all skinned when Merriman was playing at Danville Unions. Between jollying and diplomacy he managed to hold the eccentric pitcher down to work, and this was no child's play, either. He was seated together in a railroad car that was bearing them on to Chicago, and both the players were reading the kind of novels that are sold in the bookstore, and came to something that puzzled him, for he stopped reading and began to scratch his head. Finally, the latter became too much of a pitcher, and Sam, happening to catch the big twirler's eye, asked him what the trouble was. He wanted to know," said Merriman, "what is the game to the bath?" "Why, Saturday night, of course," shot back Gordon, with just the slightest suspicion of a grin overspreading his genial features. LELAND GIANTS MAKING A RECORD. To the Editor: I now give you a few lines of interest about the world's colored champions, the Leland Giants. The Leland opened the season of 1908, as a member of the Chicago team, and the number of said League until its disbandment on July 1. The Leland won every game in the City League, and at the time of the disbandment of the League had a percentage of winning games in the City League, the team held 13 tests, winning 53, losing 4, beating the famous New York Giants. Giants 5 straights and the All Havanas, of Haitavans, won 13 played. On July 13 and 14 the Leland飞ing trip over to Cleveland, O., and beat the Cleveland Giants two games by scores of 6 to 2 and 5 to 0. Outside of Cleveland, the Giants and Cleveland Giants, all the rest of our semi-year have been the strong white semi-professional teams of Chicago. Among them are such famous clubs as Jimmy Johnson (ex White Sox man) and famous Logo Giants (ex Giants games out of 9; the famous Gunthers 3. West Ends, Normals, Spaldings, South Chicagoes, Athletes, Marquettes and Riverviews. All of the above clubs are full-salaried teams, their pay rolls being the same. Many of the teams we are drawing enormous crowds in Chicago. The stand at Auburn Park, built to seat 7,000 people, is not large enough to accommodate our following. Nearly every team in Iowa has a national sign, "Standing room in the field only." On August 2 the famous colored Philadelphia Giants will open a five-game series with the Lelands, and on August 16 the Giants will open a six-game series. We hope to hand out to them the same dose that we have given to the colored team that preceded them. The Leland will up-set this year comprised of Booker, the Kane, and Kristenisted ably by Wm. Struthers behind the bat. Our pitching staff comprises Walter Ball, better known as Cannon Ball, and the world's greatest Rube Foster, who has pitched four times, twenty pitched thus far. The field is the twenty year—Moore, Harris, Wright and Talbert. Winston, Hill and Payne in the outfield. F. C. LELAND, KID BELL'S RECORD.

COLORED PASTOR NOW “FOR” BRYAN AND KERN Formerly Republican, the Rev. Henry J. Callis Believes Colored People Should Vote for Democrats. The Rev. Henry J. Callis, pastor of the Jones Tabernacle A. M. E. Church, North and Blackford streets, says that he has made a concerted effort to taken an active part in political affairs, but that he has made up his mind to vote and work this year for the election of Bryan and Kern. Mr. Callis came to naught when he was pastor of a leading Negro church for four years. He was a Republican in Boston, and did much toward bringing about the election of Mayor Hibbard last year, the first Republican mayor "There is no reason why a Negro should cling to any one party," he said. The Republican party comes to that at election time, at that party fought the war of the rebellion and gave freedom to the slaves of the South. It tells us to be sure to remember this. It did so much for the Negro. But all this happened forty-five years ago. We are tired of having the bloody shirt waved beaked both on our eyes. The Republican party takes both our eyes at election time and our vote, and then, for four years, until the next election time, it does nothing for us. It gives us no recognition; neither does it do anything to better the condi- "The Republican party calls our attention to the fact that the Negro in the South is disfranchised and says can't be trusted. We conclude that the white man of the South is the best friend the Negro has and that the colored race should trust him and place its confidence in him. We should be the best friend the white man of the South stead of his enemy. We should help him and he will help us. In that way we will get our franchise in the Southern States and placed on a level of citizenship in the business of our country any other citizen lives and can earn for our race a standing in the nation. We do not want to meet the Southern white man a social life we wish to visit him in his home. We do not wish to marry his daughters. We only ask the right to live and make progress. We do not believe we ever can obtain these rights from the Republican party. We have tried that and have failed. Therefore, I believe it to be the duty of the colored man to support the Democratic party from now on. We should try to least, and see whether it does us any good." HUMPHREY, ARK.

July and August are the months in which bedbugs and fleas get ripe, and this hot weather makes the crop unusually large. A reporter of the news heard that Julius A. Haag, the Pennsylvania street druggist, had invented a remedy that was not poisonous, yet one application with a powder gun would kill all the bugs and other insects in the house, and one application on a dog would kill all the fleas; it also kills plant lice, roaches, ants and water bugs. Mr. Haag says he intends to get his invention patented, although he is working on 1c and 2g drugs (the powder gun he extra) at the three Haag drug stores, 112 North Pennsylvania street, opposite Grand Opera House; 9 South Illinois, near Washington street, and 100 Massachusetts street, College avenue.

The State has also slid into the doubtful column. Chas. F. Mass, who stands for the Legislature on the Democratic ticket, makes this interesting announcement: "I stand for equal privileges to all and no discriminating legislation." Wm. W. Walden was among the big ones who piloted the set down to Cincinnati. Taft notified about his recent nomination for President on the Republican ticket. The Iron League Band, one of the recitals in the League Band of the city, had the good pleasure of being selected to head the Negro delegation that went to see Mr. Taft notified. Mr. Elliott R. Hooten is the present prosecutor of Marion county. He is a Democrat. In speaking of his candidacy administration in office, his past administration in office as a recommendation for your future support." The genial Mike Jefferson is just as popular as he is genial. He is for township assessor, the office which he has so successfully filled. Mr. Jefferson made a statement that he is the largest force of colored men known to the office. He retains a colored man in his office regularly. Indianapolis was well represented at the Taft notification demonstration in Cincinnati last Tuesday. A good string of colored men headed by a brass band was among them. The fact is somewhat significant, pointing to the fact that politics is getting busy in Indianapolis. Henry C. Schroder, for township trustee, has an announcement that says we need to vote. He agrees to act on the advice of colored women as to the needs of the poor among the colored people in their communities, these women to be selected from church circles. He is a Democrat. It is said that Joseph H. Broyles will be a part of the county Republican committee. Mr. Broyles is capable and efficient. He is an ardent Republican and has a strong reputation, he is a product of this city and holds his own against all comers. Perhaps no better selection than Broyles could be made.

The whole scene takes on a pink tinge, the hue of strife and contention for the mastery—the politician's dream. The Brownstown question of national political fame has reached smaller politics and in most communities where there are no candidates. Diannapolis has its Negro Republican malcontents, also affected by the well-known question. It may not be that there are enough candidates, but there is no use denying the fact that these will figure in the result at the polls. From all accounts the Democrats will make a strenuous effort at winning the election, but they have already begun laying their plans. Among those standing for county commissioner is the well-known George Hitz, Mr. Hitz is on the Prohibition ticket. He will be remembered for his remarkable work in the campaign, for Mayor in 1893, when he polled more than 5,000 votes. Many colored voters took to his views and cast their votes for him. He expect considerable support from the white candidates. The local situation is looming up. Affairs for the Republicans are none too assuring. The Democrats seem to have more hope in the county than they have had or had not. The Democrats much is if they will give the Republicans the time of their lives. Official crookedness and investigation has had much to do with this confidence on the part of the Democrats. But the county is normal," Republican man said. "It is the fact makes the situation somewhat even, promising a most lively campaign. Mr. A. E. Manning is now one of the most notable Negroes in the State. Long since he was that. In fact, he is the only notable Negro of this fact he is pampered and petted—"corn" fed, so to speak. When in Denver the Democrats could not do enough for him. He was wined and dined, but he was not a good man. Manning is a little pompous, but, beyond that, is all right; even that little fault does not hurt him; it gives him distinguish, but he is not a good man. Gold wing of his party, followed its vicissitudes, until he now finds him back at home, and as most of those, regular enough. The office of courier to the nation, and the office of his work, one would think, will not be trying or confining.
