Mr. and Mrs. Willis Bellman of Tenth and Chestnut streets will celebrate their fifth marriage anniversary on Thanksgiving day. They are among some of the people in the city and most likely they will receive a number of handsome presents. The Colored Bar Association met last week at the office of Mr. Covert the dertaker, at Tenth and Chestnut streets. All the officers are elected except the secretary, Messrs. A. B. McAfee, Prof. Johnson and Gary B. Lewis are mentioned for secretary and assistant secretary. --- Miss Charity Boyd of Frankfort, Ky., will be in the city Thanksgiving week, the guest of Miss Bessie Johnson of West Virginia. Miss Bessie is one of the most charming women in the Blue Grass section and is a teacher in the public schools of Frankfort. The Central High School and Russell High School of Lexington played a game of football last Saturday at Reech Park. The Central team won with a score of 5 to 0. The St. Louis team will be here Thanksgiving day. Prof. W. H.

College students are invited to the membership of the new organization. Professors John T. Clark and Jones are among the promoters of the club. The students are invited to an early date at the Library, Tenth and Chestnut streets, at which time a constitution by-bays will come up for consideration. *** Jos. Clark, one of the best stage young men of the city, has promised to open the Imperial Theatre on December 6. This theatre was formerly operated by the firm of the Walnut streets at Sixth and Walnut streets, is beautifully lighted, centrally located and has a seating capacity of 800. The place is well heated and has very good ventilation. Mr. Clark is now arranging for high-class trumpets to come here. Editor W. D. Johnson of the Lexington Standard, an original Dr. Xmus is out for a number of years at the Walnut D. C., and from what can be learned in this section, he has an excellent chance. Mr. Johnson has been in politics for a number of years and has done yooneman many battles he has fought for the G. O. P. he richly deserves some recognition. Kentucky has never had anything representative and it is high time it should. Mrs. Bettie McClellan of Sawyer, Okla., the sister of Mrs. James Williams, of 1022 West Chestnut street, is in the city.

Mrs. Bessie Olver will be involved in this city and expected that she will be highly entertained by them. --- At a meeting last week in the office of the Kentucky Standard, Dave Steward was indorsed for license inspector of this city. This is the first time that a Negro woman has been highly recommended by members of the white race. Mr. Steward runs one of the most up-to-date white barber shops in the city and has friends. The Negroes of the city would feel rather proud to see a member of their own race drawing $125 per month at the hands of the city administration. The King's Daughters held "Tag Day" last week in this city and a rich clas of white women attended by selling tags for the sick nurse fund. The colored women of the city were very active on the same day. Mrs. C. H. Parrish, president of the Kentucky Standard, the third woman Baptist church, had three women stationed at six stations in the city and by this method she was able to raise a large sum. From this fund one colored nurse is eminent and an early date another will be given work. --- Miss Lena, Marshall and William Phels, both of Louisville, are with the "Red Moon" and will be in the city Sunday.

Johnson and Johnson. Louisville welcomes these young people and The Freeman congratulates them on the progress they have made on the show and on Messrs. Johnson and Johnson. Louisville has had considerable training on the stage. It is our belief that the pendulum of success is still swinging in their favor. Messrs. Cole & Johnson are great favorites in this city. Their success has been phenomenal. Big log apples have people who are married the performance. People have heard of their success in the "Red Moon" and it goes without saying that they will crowd the Avenue each performance. We will have them given a rest Wednesday and Friday and will not have matines. We have been fortunate in seeing comments from all the great dalles where they show to have eclipsed all the rest in point of music and scenic effect. We wish them great success. The Seelback Club of this city is preparing to entertain Messrs. Cole & Johnson and a number of his company. The members of this club number among the great funmakers. It is reported that Mr. Seelback, proprietor of the hotel, has given his sanction to the boys to entertain two of the greatest funmakers. It is never before will such a magnificent supper be served as the one to be given November [23] at the Pekin Cafe. A number of cafe and added to this, beautiful decorations with a color scheme THANKSGIVING DAY PROCLAMATION NOVEMBER 30TH THEODORE RUSSELL RALPH WILDER of red, white and blue, will undoubtedly be one of the swellest suppers served in the city. Toasts will besemble at 1 o'clock a. m. Toasts will be among the features of the morning. The food is known, but they will include some in the city. Other social functions will follow and the company is expected to be entertained while in the city of Louisville. * * * Mr. Sam J. Corker, Jr., who is perhaps one of the most well known as well as one of the most liked young men in the country, arranges for the week make-appear arrangements for the hometown & Johnson's show, which will be at the Avenue Theatre next week. Mr. Corker was the guest of William Johnson of the University of North Carolina, who only Negro advance agent in this country and made good as usal at the newspaper offices by writing some brilliant stories for the great musical comedy, which he wrote. Mr. Corker French Lick Springs, Ind., to be the guest of George Waddv. He will go directly from there to Cincinnati. ... News has reached the Avenue Theater that the "Red Moon," by Cole and Johnson, is one of the best shows on the road. This news comes from New York City's making preparation to have ample accommodation for the colored people, and most likely the new show will be given a warm reception in this city. We for one would like to see "our folks" edge in the boxes to the show, and we would seat on the first. There being so many in the company, and playing at a house whose seating capacity is not the largest in the city, it is necessary that the usual seats be in vogue. We welcome the show and the only Mr. Sam Corker, who is the only/Negro advance agent in the world. . . . The Walters' and Cooks' Alliance, Local No. 261, has eighty-three members. They have nicely appointed rooms on the second floor, where members assemble and have their pleasure, playing whist and other games of amusement. All kinds of literature pertaining to the dining room and decorative items are available. Freeman is also among the papers in the reading room. During the Christmas holidays the boys hope to give a social function. At their last meeting the folios were filled with books, the president; Lewis Carr, first vicepresident; H. S. Rosboro, second vicepresident; Chas. Watts, business agent and financial secretary; Flanagan Hopkins, president; W. M. Eale, recording secretary; L. G. Riley, inspector; Wyatt Hunt, outside guard; Charles Scott, inside guard; Geo. Barbary, chairman sick committee; John Dewhoney, --- It would have sounded like a joke this last year time to say that Negroes would have their own theater in this city, putting on dodecae acts and dramas. It would have sounded like a joke out of the new playhouse: "It makes me feel proud to see my people act, sing and dance just like the white folks. I would rather see them a hundred times and crowed in these white theaters. I beieve if they keep on we will have a fine playhouse in this city owned by Negroes. This is the sentiment of a large theater. Of course there is the "white folks." Negroes not interested in the race and is always ready to point to the whites as an example. The show is still going on and is making great headway among all classes. Miss Katie Lane entertained Sunday afternoon, at her home, 1307 Stone street, with a dinner in honor of Mrs. Henrietta, a friend of Mrs. Frankfort. K. The guest was Miss Branford's. Miss Sodie Butler. Mrs. Susie Stapleton, Mrs. Mary L. Gordon, E. J. Carse, Lewis McMillen, John Blackwell, Mrs. Brennard, Monroe Branford, F. B. Johnson, Taylor Branford, Doc Martin, Walter Gordon. Miss S. —Wilder in Chicago Record-Herald. Cook and Mrs. Mary L. Gordon had charge of the culinary department, and the guests enjoyed one of the finest dinners of the season. E. J. Carlisle was toastmaster on the occasion. The decision of the Supreme Court with reference to the Berea matter was received here Monday, and many regret to have been denied the opportunity used by the Negroes, as was the desire of the founders and donors. Many claim that Prof. Frost is satisfied now. One of Kentucky's favorite soprano singers is to appear in this city at an early date. She has been hailed as the "nightingale" of the Bluegrass. Mme. Georgia Barkley Gomez, of Lexington, is the author of this section of the country. She has a naturally sweet voice and has received a musical training at Chandler Normal College, Lexington, KY, and Fisk University, Nashville. For the past four years Mme. Gomez has been doing concert work and has been a great success. Last September she sang before 25,000 people, "Booker T. Jackson" by the Lexington Fair, and the white page prose of her singing as a huge success. Mme. Gomez comes to Louisville as a star singer at the Pekin Theater, Odd Fellows' Hall, and is expected to draw large crowds during her stay here. The Federal, State, county and city governments are in the hands of the Republicans, and 10,000 out of the 18,000 voters are Negroes, yet nothing is being done to get them to minor places, including street sweepers and janitors. The Negroes here have become tired of being told to wait, "well see you," and are going after things themself. The Negroes has been approached and is going to run for the Legislature, and Dr. Richard W. Oliver has consented to run for school district. He has made an available candidate for councilman. These men all live in the famous Tenth ward, which goes Republican by a large majority, on account of the heavy taxes. He does not only thinking along these lines, but are quietly organizing clubs to promote the cause. Other Negroes in wards are preparing to line up with the party that wants to take care of them after the election. --- At the request of Superintendent E. H. Mark, of the public schools. Col. Hangger and the police are to take a hand in compelling children of school age to attend school regularly. Policemen are to be in charge of the school, and when it is completed each policeman will know the exact number of children in his beat who should be in school. Policemen will only hunt down the violators of school rules, and tricts as they will the whites, it will be one of the greatest blessings that ever happened to the Negroes of this city. Policemen of colored children are, out of school, accorded the highest school Board. With the above number in school there would not only be a decrease in illiteracy, but it would cause the appointment of as many new teachers as there were. Mr. Deaver is now being made to have two Negro truant officers appointed next May. This would be a feather in the cap of those Negroes who took an active part in the election of the six new Republican trustees who were recently elected. A very pretty church wedding was solemnized last Thursday night at the Church of Our Merciful Savor, by Rector William Lina Silkman and Mr. James F. Bucker. The wedding took place at 8:30 o'clock p. m., in the main auditorium of the church and a large crowd was present. Mr. Lina Silkman, the bride, wore a silk gown of embroidered net over white, made princess effect. She wore a Brussels net veil, trailing, and it hung over her head and was caught with orange blossoms. Continued on Eighth Page.

A.-Thanksgiving Will Be Generally Observed Society Events at Various Points. N. V. Lindsay, a young newspaper man and a Y. M. C. A. lecturer, who has been making a series of lectures on the history of the Negro last Wednesday night, November 11 on the Negro. He is quite an intelligent young man and made a most able speech. There were about six colored men presiding at the lecture, and also with the views of the other men who responded. Mr. Lindsay paid one of the highest tributes to the Negro we have received, Stannard Baker, who declared that after all, it is not so much a race or color question as it is a lack of understanding among the Negroes. He declared that Williams & Walker and Cole & Johnson, by their talent and superb abilities, are able to attract large audiences of the most refined and cultured men of the Negroes and W. E. B. DuBois had risen high above the average American, commanding the admiration and respect of the Negroes. He was a living example of the highest possibilities of an artist and Mr. Lindsay declared him equal to the best in the world. W. E. B. DuBois said, "and referred to Dunbar as a marvelous reproduction of the genious of the Negro. Odborne said he knew Booker T. Washington personally and held him in the highest esteem. Bishop Gray paid a glowin' tribute to the integrity of the Negro as well as his fidelity, and referred to the absolute control of the white man's home during the war as a verification of same. Mr. Lindsay referred to Mr. Williams and the Enterprise Loan and Saving Co. as testimonials of the onward march and the aspirations of the colored people of this one hundred and forty $ to our people and to should we busy them on and on to their desired goal. Thanksgiving will be observed here by the various churches, at which will be rescheduled excellent programs. Grace M. Church in Chicago will host the Under Rev. J. M.

WOMEN SHOULD VOTE BUT NOT HOLD OFFICE. "It seems to me," said Mrs. Taft, thoughtfully, "that a woman can best purposefully work in the careful management of his social and domestic affairs. She must be a ready and willing hostess and thoroughly alive to the requirements of her position." OFFICE. "I think a woman should be content with voting," said Mrs. Taft, when asked how far she thought a woman might go in assisting her husband politically. Women electionering, at least not in this country. It is different in England and other places where women are agitating suffrage, but it is a thing not well adapted for the task. She would be carried on here, no woman would be able to campaign with her husband or for him. I met Mr. Taft in Buffalo, during the last days of the campaign, and by the time she was fatigued with the travel and excitement. "I think women could best conserve the public by using the ballot. They should avoid the use of the ballot, should aid in putting the proper men in the proper places. Our principles, so far as I can see, are not adapted to women holding office. I think the natural scheme would be disaffected and the end aim of the government destroys." VOTING NOT UNWOMANLY "A man should be wise and I can see nothing unwomanly in their casting their ballot, but it seems at present that it is impossible to dissociate the right to vote from the right to vote that an undesirable woman should get into office as an undesirable man, and think what the consequence might be. In influencing her husband's career—well, it seems to me that every woman will do all that she can and go as far as she can to help her husband when she is looking for what she should do is impossible. I think, as I said before, that she is the greatest aid to her husband when she is looking for what she should do, of course, be interested in whatever he is, and if she is not conversant with such affairs then she should become HER ADVICE TO MR. TAFT. "Yes, it is true that I urged Mr. Taft to give up his position on the bench and to return to his office and loved his pegal position more than all else in his career, he might spend the younger years of his life in a wider world better enable him to educate our children." "When the position of Governor of the Phillipines was offered Mr. Taft he covered over the dismaze of the matter for more than a year, but later that it was a call—an opportunity which he should not neglect. Probably I am wholly responsible for his more public care, but I stopped thoughtfully for a moment—"now I am waiting to see if I acted for the best. "Replying to a question as to the social life of the White House, or what it would be under its new mistress, Mrs. Taft told a high tribute to Mrs. Roosevelt's ability and good taste in housekeeping when she said. "There will be but minor changes to make, and those will be a mere matter of personal taste. Mrs. Roosevelt has managed her social affairs wonderfully well, and that will leave but few changes to be desired." THE ONES TO CHOOSE It is a real embarrassing proposition when one attempts to pick out a number of young men whose names are free from the usual tenure to a new role in a reception. Thus smoke a lady, This difficulty could be obliterated if the lady would not judge men by what they have done or what they have been, but pick up the facts of their honest and upright lives, and are trying to do honorable things, and she will have no cause for embarrassment.—The Advocate, Portland, Ore. In disposing of an value at $2,000 the will of Jennie Linn, of Philadelphia, directs that the deed to her cemetery lot is to be placed in the casket and buried with her. The secret in making the finest porcelain, known as Dresden china, was discovered 200 years ago by an apothecary's apprentice who was trying to change silver into gold. Women, though they may always have been busy, have not always been businesslike; they have been instinctive rather than methodical. Thus they forgot to put a market value on their housekeeper and ignored to train for it scientifically. If New York had a few thousand citizens with names as long as that of a child born in St. Louis recently, the new "sign" would probably "bog down" completely. would probably "bog down" completely. the child's name is Marle Helen Ahrenhoerstheuermeier. A St. Louis paper, in a breaking name, makes the superfluous statement that her family are Germans. Luckily the baby who comes into the world weighted down so much that surprise changing the legal process changing: it eleventh or twenty years from now being simpler than in the case of a boy.

Mr. Wise was a member of the Ek Lodge here, where funeral obsequies, under their auspices, were held at his late residence on South First street, by Dr. D. J. Crawford, of Harmony Bancorp, of Mineral Wells, Tex. was with him throughout his (illness and death. Our sincere sympathy is extended to his family. The bell boys at the Binkey Hotel are working hard. BUSINESS MEN TURN AGAINST NEW WOMEN. The new woman is dead. The reaction has come. "No woman need apply" is the law to-day in most corporation offices, in most railroad offices, in many vocations where the very fact of her sex was an issue. The woman she works for may have all the work she wants in Chicago at $10 a week down. Ten dollars a week up is held for the men. The reaction has been sudden. Ten years ago she had an illness for good salary were open. To-day if a woman makes $25 a week she has acquired nervous prostration as well. If she makes $25, the elevator boy pointed her out as one of the women in the building. "WE DO NOT WANT WOMEN." Seventy-three prominent business men, who employ many workers, have been interviewed. They say, one and all: "We do not want women." Mr. Healy, of Lyon & Heal, will not promote a woman to the headship of a department, or even to a responsible place in the great music house. "She gets married and has some account," he said, "or else cries if I speak quickly to her. I can stand about anything but a woman's tears." EASILY PRESENTED. Fred McNeil of Rand & McNally, puts his troubles in this line as follows: "One day a girl came to me with a tale that the man at the head of her department had been annoying her with pressing itations to direct her attention or to request. She wanted to keep the position. I looked over the situation. How could I tell if her story were true or not? The man denied it. I let him go. I do not know which one he felt. Women can come to close application. It is either pay girls less with less work, or pay men more with more work. I prefer men, and am always sorry to see a woman try for promotion, because she is not good at it. Women can women who are responsible positions. They are not fitted for it." L. Cunningham, of Williams & Cunningham, advertising agents, said: "We have a rule of employment: all the considerations due to her sex along with all the advantages men can earn from facing hard work, and all the advantages men can incur, or thinks she is. Either she is so pitifully faithful she works herself to death and makes me out her murderer, or she is a shirk and expects to have no responsibility, and she cries when she is called down." SAYS ENGLISH PRISONS FOR WOMEN ARE BAD. In an article in the Contemporary Review Miss Chesser, M. B., contrasts British prisons for women with American prisons Miss Chesser writes, "no at all attempts are made by British institutions to organize prison industries for women or teach them any handicraft. The air of the whole system is punishment, and the result is dire failure. Miss Chesser says "women are taught to read, write, wash and cook. Habits of cleanliness and industry are fostered, and everything possible is done to encourage and lift the women in the prison system, the knife or fork is given with the meals, and some of the women tear the food apart with their teeth and nails, like animals. The food itself is inadequate to maintain health, and air and exercise allowed an insufficient." "There is one bath a week; no hot water is given for any purpose, and one small towel must last a week. The prisoners have to sleep in the same clothes as the women, and if the same treatment applies to all, the hardened criminal, the morally insane, the degenerate, the diposman and the first offender. The health of the women prisoners, too, does not receive adequate atten Miss Chesser declares roundly that British "prison life kills all self-respect and courage in women prisoners. It is a hard work, such as scrubbing floors and oakwork, such as scrubbing floors and oakpicking, and has no educational value whatever." She insists English prisons, both for men and women, in their effect upon the prisoners, are the worst in christianity. MAKES BLUSH WITH INK. Society women of Philadelphia who have lost the art of blushing and who regard the emotional surge of blood to their attractiveness are anxiously looking forward to the visit of Sutherland MacDonald, the noted Scotch tattooer. So he can give the skin the roseate hue that accompanies the blush. By hanging her head in shadow a fair deal has been made with MacDonald's art, can produce a blush which disappears when she turns her face to the light. The MacDonald sailed recently from England. He will be the guest of Walter Wheeler, at the Racquet Club, who bears designs tattooed upon him by MacDonald. These features obtained by the men to his fellow-members at the Racquet Club, and immediately it was suggested that MacDonald be brought here and established as a public figure, without interruption from the outside world. HISTORY OF SHOES. In No Article of Attire Have More Vagaries Been Shown. Shoes or their equivalent are of a certainty even more ancient than gloves, for they were a necessity of locomotion, while the other was but a luxury. Sometimes the gloves were made of papyrus, as in Egypt. Often they were gilded and decked with jewels, and the most expert artists of the day were employed to decorate the foot coverings of wealthy patricians, consuls, emperors and nobles. The gloves have more variegates been shown. "To-day a lady who must be considered in the height of fashion wears shoes pointed as much as possible, but in the time of Queen Victoria the use of leather and the war it was found necessary to issue a royal proclamation prohibiting shoes with toes wider than six inches. But perhaps the most extraordinary development in the way of footwear is "the lines" introduced by the ladies of Venice to make themselves taller than they really wear. Wearing a kind of stitches made of wood and leather, some times reached the absurd height of twelve inches. Even a trained acrobat would be hardified on such a mannequin and ordinary women had such trouble with them that when they attempted a promenade they required the assistance of a servant, each side and another behind to "Peep" Redfern's "Royal and Historic Shoes." vails. There is a finer braid with a center of net, so fine that it looks as if it might not hold together, but nevertheless is very strong because of a pattern worked on with uniform that shows delicately through the net. Colored braids are very much in favor and there is a startling variety of them from black to white, with velvet, as they generally are, they are rich in the extreme. Straight-engled braids have the call. Most of the new braids are of the run and uniform that the shaded effects are beautiful and gold and silver threads and tufts are not in many of the most exclusive patents.

TAILORSTOWN, Pa., November 7 — I would as leave as much time in my house as a pack of cards, and I have my opinion of any woman who will use a powder puff. I mark from the pulpit of the First Christian Church almost caused a riot, and so heated have affairs become that the minister, the Rev. J. H. Moore, announced that he will hand in his resignation to the young women of the church forced the pastor to desert the line of talk mapped out when he started to assail powder puffs. Several of the girls were protesting against such talk from the pulpit. "You ought to be made to resign," shouted one of the choir girls as she stepped from the cell corn stair as soon as this congregation can raise the two months' back salary due," me said the minister. I raise the money all right and make you make good your promise," said a member. And the girls are making good their promise.

Twin sisters, the Misses Colford, of Washington, were admitted to practice in Washington, and women have been granted permission to practice law before the minor courts of Washington, with the rewarded with the higher distinction of a right to go before the high tribunal that sits in Washington and settles the disputes which come up from the minor courts. INDIANAPOLIS CLUB NOTES. The Friends' Club met with Mrs. Edward Holmes last week. A paper on the life of Alcott was read at the last bi-weekly meeting of the Browning Club by Miss Nora A. Roberts. The discussion was opened by Miss Irene Poe. The Delphic Circle met Tuesday night with Mrs. S. B. Henderson, at which time Miss Mattie Roberts read a paper on "The Organization of All Wage Earners." "The Dignity of Common Things" was the subject of the paper read by Mrs. Addie Jones at the Research Club, this week. The Young Woman's Mission Circle of the Second Christian Church held their regular monthly meeting Sunday afternoon. The two topics discussed were, "What am I Responsible for Missionary Work in Indiana," and "Plan for C. W. B. M. Day." AS TO GOOD LOOKS Massaging thoroughly the wrists on every side at night with cold cream will in time add flesh. The short sleeves may not be so universally worn this winter, the elbows should be plump and attractive for evening dresses. Every night hold the elbows in hot water and allow them to remain there for a few minutes. The elbows may be placed in the bottom of the basin. Then both elbows should have a brisk rub with the flesh brush and a generous supply of soap. After drying carefully, almond oil and massage most thoroughly. Those who cannot afford to have their hair marcheed often and are not clever enough to be able to do it themselves should use a thick brush that sells for $1. It is very warm and stiff and is used after the hair is completely dressed. Some who make a study of the hair add a few drops of brillantine to the brush. This gives a fine luster to the brush and keeps the short hair securely in place. Here is some good advice to the stout woman: Don't cut yourself in two. Nothing is so ugly as a fat woman with a sharp waistline. Dress yourself in a tight dress. You can hardly be divided by a belt or any sharp contrasting tone. Wear a black gird' or one that matches the costume. Dress your shoulders narrow; wide shoulders are better. Make your shoulder line as tight-fitting, as long and as silm you can. Wear a tall hat; it is immensely becoming to the heavy woman. It needn't be a skirt or a dress. It needs a large beater rather compact; feathers are art to make a woman's head look too big. Dress your throat long and slim. The tall, tight-fitting stocks, wired back of the neck, are better. Fuffy things about your throat. Wear tight-fitting 'clothing'. It is the greatest mistake in the world for a stout woman to conceal herself behind the loose-hung jeans. You can give a porteri-like effect. Wear long skirts. Never put on a short train unless for exercising, and, finally, don't wear high heels; they do very little for the fat woman except to make her ungrateful. Forward and bring out the fat on her back. SOME THINGS TO EAT. To prepare kibbee of beef, grind one pound uncooked meat (the tougher parts, such as the needle being artificially ascertained to meet the meat's salt), four teaset red pepper, one teaspoon salt, one teaspoonful onion juice, or the onion chopped fine, and one teaspoonful garlic. Mix these ingredients to make into small balls. Place these in a baking pan, dot with butter and cover with one cup stewed and strained tomato sauce. For potatoes au gratin, take four medium-sized potatoes, peel and boil them in salt water until soft. Then cut into small pieces and layer on a layer of potatoes, then a layer of grated cheese and a layer of cracker crumbs. Dot the top with butter and cover with the oven. To get all the potato flavor they should be boiled with the jackets on. A simple dessert was made, using one cup creamy-mashed rice bananas, two-thirds cup milk and two eggs. Beat the mixture thoroughly, requiring about twenty minutes, until stiff. Ice cream. When thoroughly chilled this makes a delicious cake. Any other fruit may be used with the same result, or lemon juice or the juice of maraschino cherries may be added to the ice cream. This makes a good filling for cake. DID NOT FAVOR INTERMARRIAGE. KANSAS CITY, October 31—Prof. Charles Zueblin of Chicago, who was a professor at a university extension lecture here, the intermariage of the white and black races, denies hotly that he ever said anything. It was a plain lie" he said last night, "manufactured to injure one whose views on many social and economic questions do not suit the convenience of men who getting an undue advantage of society.

There is a finer braid with a center of net, so fine that it looks as if it might not hold together, but nevertheless is very strong because of a pattern worn in formers. The braids shown delicately through the net. Colored braids are very much in favor and there is a startling variety of them from which to select. Used in connection with the braids in formers, the material is rich in the extreme. Straight-edged braids have the call. Most of the new ones are of this border sort. In some of them jabots are beautiful and gold and silver threads and tufts are in many of the most exclusive patterns. Nearly all of the designs show a symmetrical irregularity that distinguishes them from those of former seasons. It gives them a hand-made appearance. For elderly women no neck accessory is preferter than jabots made of lace, chenille or silver material that is soft. White is always more becoming than black, but when in mourning b'ack must be worn, except when real white crepe can be chosen. Small jabots are more common in formers for middle age, though except in size the models do not vary. The fashionable little bow knots made from lace edges are pretty, and as there is no age for which these are unsuitable, young may make them. Very young children by gathering the lace M. E. H.

We can access these accessories by making the bow knot of velvet or chiffon, occasionally putting a black one on white edges. We are on the way to the revival of the old-fashioned "barbs" and "tabs" that were so dainty and becoming with long ends hanging at either side of the throat. Frequently these ties were so made as to be very thin, and the pressing middle front, the two ends lying flat and pointed outward slightly. A brooch held the crossing point in place. Of the ruffs, there is nothing more attractive or generally becoming than one in which three shades of smoke gray chiffon are blended. The particular one in mind is finished with choux of velvet behind an inch wide, and of the deepest sleeve. Knitted sweaters seem to have a firm grasp on popularity this season. But then they are so entirely different from other sweaters, share with "Brother Bob" that it is not so much to be wondered at, after all. The latest model is very long, and butt-up sleeves are fitted in the mound-snapped, silk covered buttons to match the wool. It has patch pockets that almost come under the head of the colonial stole. A number have weaved the neck they are finished with a high military collar, an ordinary turnover, or finished in a square or point. . . .

It is true that the flare at the bottom of the skirt is very tight, from the carefully severe cut of the cloth, and not from any kilt arrangement at the top of the skirt. It is in the past week tailors in New York and in the most exclusive suit shops where the really distingue garments are made, have been showing a great many plaited skirts. The skirt is not out of style—out by any means. The newer skirts of this type are the most distingue. They are, of course, tight at the hips and full about the ankles.

As stated before, the trend is to- ward the white race, and so insistent. so fierce, so general that the Negroes’ physiognomy is changing rapidly, through the stress for the ideal, na- ture is putting straight, aquiline noses on black people, Roman noses, Jewish noses, Irish noses, stub noses and the remainder of the variety furnished other races. The decided flat nose is going, demonstrating the law of mind over matter. In short, the Negroes are fairly making themselves to order. The banjo heel, the box ankle, the kmock-knees and other malformations are passing, and today there are black Negroes according to the standard that come fairly clean from tip to tip. ‘Their feet lift from the ground on the hollow side; they wear number seven or eight shoes instead of tens and twelves are the boxes, as it has been alleged in some instances, and in all ways do many of them conform to the average man’s makeup. ‘Things will come your wav if you be- come an agent of The Freeman, se a a i) Wg cy. di Te pe | *. ie Y lle oi i oo NN * Oy ANSE ey | Wi Uo le?

Evidently things are not done by halves in China. The unexpected descent of the beautiful last week meant much to the blacksmiths, at any rate. So, again, to the old saw: "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good." With Republican and Democratic pie counters the colored man's chance in Marion county looks good—flattering. Just to think of the picking in the legislature for the "independent" boys. The Supreme Court has at last spoken, if it has not done so before. It is not saying too much that such a decision was the expected by many, or else an avoidance of the question altogether. The race has opportunity to enter the same business pursuits as white men. In many instances the trade or the colored people is not solicited. Will they ever learn to turn the condition to their own account? One of the planks in Ram's Horn Brown's philosophy is, "that a fine manner is as much a real asset in life as a bank account." Maybe so, but when it comes to deciding between the two, most people would choose the bank account. The Recorder of Indianapolis, erstwhile ultra-Republican, has finally concluded that it is a wise thing for the Negro voters to be found in all parties. Little late in making the discovery, but beter late than never. Furthermore it is according to the wishes of many white Republicans. Attorney James H. Lott, of this city, is among those who were of service to the Republican party during the recent campaign. Mr. Lott is one of the leading colored lawyers; he is of recognized ability and enjoys the respect of those who know him, white or colored. It is understood that he has hopes of being considered for office by the national administration. It would seem that from the result in Indiana that the Negroes of the State followed the Freeman's injunction, "Vote for your friends." The Freeman feels that the advice is good at any time, in or out of season. No one is hurt; it does not stand to reason that men are going to put clubs in the enemies' hands to beat them to death. Parties, as such, today, are not fitted to help the Negroes to great rights and privileges unless the Negroes are a part of them all. China will have a parliament in 1917, at which time liberty of speech, of press, of assembly will be among the tenets of government, including the well known habeas corpus, the delight of free and enlightened countries. That country postpones the day, but it is in accord with the notion of that government. The period will be very short for the inauguration of such a reformation. The world will needs have time to prepare for the awakening of the leviathan of the Orient. John W. Kern, candidate for Vice President on the ticket with Mr. Bryan, has announced for United States Senator. The forthcoming Legislature will be Democratic, thus assuring the selection of one of that party to succeed present Senator Hemenway, Mr. Kern, however, will not have the thing all his own way, since there are other aspirants that have also long standing claims on the party. Among these are the well known Thomas Taggart, John E. Lamb, B. F. Shively and L. Ert Slack. The "Jim Crow" cars are not meant for Negro respect, yet let us think they were actually a necessity, giving the others the benefit of the doubt. The Negroes can outgrow "Jim Crow" cars if they will. And the sooner they feel and act that way the better for them. Kings have gone to the scaffold sacrificing nothing excepting that taken away by sheer force. History and posterity admires such characters none the less. Charles I. came to the throne again through Charles II. His sacrifice was not in vain. Owing to the very close vote for the officers of the State of Indiana between the two greater parties, it is given out that the Democrats will contest the result as finally given out. The delay in announcing the result more than likely has had to do with the determination on the part of the Democrats. The unusual delay is not generally understood, and consequently has proven unfortunate, giving rise, it is thought, to suspicion where there would have been none had the returns been prompt, as etrofoe. Bear in mind that this is turkey month. It is with pleasure that one turns from a strenuous campaign to the contemplation of the coming feast day, when all "hae meat we canna eat." That is, we are supposed to have it. The forefathers pitched the day right happily, none too far from the harvest days, just when one begins to appreciate what he has garnered. Thanksgiving day is the real advent of winter, and indeed thankful is he on whom its doors closes that is prepared for the "dark and devious" days to follow. Funeral services were held last Monday for Mrs. Nancy Cheatham, one of the best known colored women of Indianapolis, at her home, 1015 North Senate avenue. She was seventy-eight years old and lived in this city sixty-nine years. The deceased was the wife of George W. Cheatham, a merchant policeman; she had worked many years for the family of Henry Ward Beecher, going with that family when it moved to Brooklyn, but returning to this city later. She was the mother of a large family. Her husband, two daughters, a son and a number of grandchildren and other relatives survive her. Mrs. Cheatham had lived in the house in which she died for fifty-three years. Burial was at Crown Hill. It is said that the women of Asiatic Turkey receive 10 to 15 cents a day as wages for ten hours' work. It is interesting, yet not nearly so interesting as the knowledge of how far a dime would go in that country. One, we should think, would reduce the monthly rent bill very considerably. Then to think of the ham and eggs to be bought for ten cents. Such countries would make excellent old folk's homes for us Americans. An annuity or annual allowance would be so low as to cause a smile—at the prospects. In view of such conditions, it's a wonder that the tide of emigration would not tend the other way, toward eastern countries, especially toward the close of life, where luxury and ease can be secured for a mere bagatelle, compared with what is necessary in this country. A Negro was heard the other evening in a quarreling conversation with his wife on Indiana avenue. The woman's part of the dialogue was not caught, but what she had said will be guessed by his reply, which was as follows: "I ain't got no money; desse business men ain't got no money. How in de —ill do you s'pose I got any money?" We do not know about the fact of his philosophy. From his viewpoint, however, he reasoned well. Perhaps his spouse had not before had such a profound "truth" broke to her from his lips. The chances are that he enlarged at once in her mind. And then again he may have worked his every other known reason, so often, so thoroughly, that he was driven in sheer desperation to a new defense. He stumbled on it, but it was a poser—"that last shot got her." The lowering voices were indicative of the subsiding storm and the white flag of peace began to flutter. It is not the river, or the houses, or the many-colored signs which in Canton confound all attempts at word or any other painting. What remain absolutely indescribable are the swarms, the masses, the millions of yellow people who choke these narrow slits of streets, seethe along them, overwhelm your bewildered senses; te noises, the cries, the seeming tumult; the sights, the smells—oh, the Canton smells!—new and utterly, quite rurally, abominate; the horrible meat and fish shops—sickening, putrid meat and crimson fish, bloodless skewered dogs, dead bloated things; rats, distorted, unrecognizable creatures, such as you never saw before, and pray heaven you may never see again. So dreadful are they, so loathsome, so disgusting, so filthy, that the bare passing by could hardly be endured if there were not an occasional oasis of cleaner stuff, picturesque baskets, or china, or, best of all, piles of heaped vegetables and fruit. Never, surely, elsewhere can the green things of the earth, lettuces, onions, cabbages, look so blessedly wholesome.—The London Spectator. From Okmulgee, Okla., came report this week of serious race trouble between a Negro desperado, Jim Deehard, and officers, in which five men were killed and ten injured. Two of the men injured by Deckard are likely to die. Armed men patrolled the streets here and a company of militia is held at Muskogee, ready for a quick rush here. The feeling is growing more bitter among the races and hotheads may precipitate trouble at any moment. Last week the District Court convicted many Negroes. This caused protests from the Negro community that every black man was being railroaded to prison by white jurors. When a Negro woman was arraigned Saturday, Judge Alexander summoned a jury of Negroes and the woman was acquitted. This brought protests from the whites. Deckard's outbreak followed a fight with Steve Grayson, an Indian boy, who was beaten so badly he is expected to die. Wehn Policeman Klaber tried to arrest Deckard he was shot dead. From his shanty, in which he barricaded himself, Deckard fired on a posse, Killing Sheriff Robinson, Henry and Will Chapman, Negroes, and wounded seven other men. Chief of Police Farr, one of the victims, is in a serious condition. Deckard's house was finally fired and he was burned to death. W. C. Thompson, manager of what he calls the Afro-American International sends this office a communication calling attention to the practices of the labor unions in discriminating against Negro laborers. The circular sent out is about as such letters go, striking at wrongs as seen from the writer's viewpoint. The Freeman takes note of the organization because it is the work of a Negro, and who. sequent rise, there returns turkey at one sign to feast canna need to we may say, thinks he is laboring in the right direction. It takes this opportunity to say that labor organizations as found existing, are not to be attacked as with a club. They are to be dealt with carefully—with reason. Labor unions are simply aggregations of units, each one of which has his own opinions; they are colored by the same influences that make for race prejudice everywhere, whether just or unjust. ber of that party, he would feel it his duty in this hour of its success to do the utmost in shoving the most worthy, the most available to the front regardless of what he might think of his own availability. This in the interest of perpetuating the party in power to work out the reforms that it feels to be committed to its care. The "Colored Democrat" should also have including self-sec for cla the of for bro wri Under existing conditions, it is extremely foolish to strike at what we conceive to be wrong in a given place. Labor unions will hold the Negro persona grata when other kinds of unions, trades, etc., do so. The fight must be for more appreciation from whatsoever source. In recent years the tendency has been toward getting together the Negro and the laboring man. The work does not want to be interrupted, since the Negroes have all to gain. Concessions should be won by meritorious conduct rather than through any system of warfare that could be advised. Force will play no part here, as it has signally failed in the arena of politics and which was but natural, because not supported by public sentiment. Sentiment may be wrong; it is wrong to the greater extent as t concerns the Negroes, but it will have to be converted. It is the old race question appearing everywhere as we have so often said. URGES REWARD FOR MR. KNOX. Some one signing himself a colored Democrat has seen fit to card the Star concerning the political possibility of George L. Knox, of The Freeman, urging that he be considered for the United States Senate at the hands of the Democracy, expressing himself as follows: "I see in the papers that there are a number of persons who desire to represent the State of Indiana in the United States Senate. I wish to add to the list the name of the Hon. George L. Knox. Before the emancipation proclamation issued by President Lincoln he was a slave. Mr. Lincoln was a friend of our people, and I am informed by prominent Democratic politicians that if he was living he would support the principles as advocated by their party. Mr. Knox formerly voted the Republican ticket, but this year he supported W. J. Bryan and all the others on the Democratic ticket, and worked diligently and earnestly among his people. For his efforts and the great opposition and displeasure he incurred from many of them, he certainly should have political recognition from his party. As Mr. Taggart is such a warm friend of the colored race, especially during a campaign, he will no doubt appreciate the work of Mr. Knox, and lend his influence in favor of his election to the United States Senate, which position he is well qualified to fill. The colored people should have a representative in that body. And the opportunity will soon present itself to the Democratic legislators of this State by which they may avail themselves of the distinguished honor. Will they do it?" In the first place we do not think the writer was a colored man, as he signs himself. Whether this be true or not, we feel that the writer was not sincere in what he had to say; if he were sincere, then his judgment is to be pitied, or rather the man, for having such poor judgment. Moreover, we are surprised at the Star in allowing space to an article that is so full of mischievous purpose looking at it in any way one may care to, as it pertains to the Republican party, the Democratic party or the Negro race. The race is in no condition to be involved in unnecessary quarrel or agitation. The fact that it is heir to all the civil ills of the land is quite sufficient, without being invigiled into situations that mean nothing. Mr. Knox, being one of the leading colored citizens, it is natural that what is said of him in a public way will become the subject of public talk. Owing to the peculiar situation, the race is also involved and considered along with Mr. Knox. Perhaps the writer didn't know it. Guess he did. As we take it, the object was to hold him up to public view, inviting comparison in a way, and at the same time giving his race a backhanded blow. If Mr. Knox were in every way prepared—comparing favorably in point of intellect—and were he not handicapped by being a Negro, yet he would not have been considered, owing to the short period in which he was engaged in assisting the Democrats, and hence could not have expected such recognition. Mr. Knox holds to the theory that, everything considered, one man has the same right as the other to stand for office. In fact, it is up to the people, whatever the qualifications of the individual when presenting himself for preference. But in this instance Mr. Knox has never dreamed of a candidacy for United States Senatorship, and wishes to be preserved from his fool friends or his fool enemies in the matter. He does not hope to embarrass the Democracy by listening to any such twaddle. He does not deny his services during the present campaign in the interest of the Democrats, but only as an independent voter—a thing the writer should have known along with his other intimate knowledge. Independent voters are not in the habit of being greatly rewarded for their temporary assistance. Good, faithful Democrats of lifelong standing will be disappointed, simply because the job can only be filled by one individual. Mr. Knox also wishes it understood that if he were of the regular Democracy, and had he be a lifelong mem- ber of that party, he would feel it his duty in this hour of its success to do the utmost in shoving the most worthy, the most available to the front regardless of what he might think of his own availability. This in the interest of perpetuating the party in power to work out the reforms that it feels to be committed to its care. The "Colored Democrat" should also have some such vision, since he ought to be no less interested in a party that he advertises to be his. Mr. Knox feels compelled to make his views known. He would not have his colored friends, or white for that matter—any one—think he entertained hope of party reward based on so little service. He takes this method of making them known. He would not have his friends throughout the country believe that he inspired the card or sanctioned its publication. On the other hand, he thinks it most untimely and so out of keeping with propriety that he hastens to let his views be known. JESSE COE REMINDERS. The Indianapolis police department, through Edward S. Bray, captain of detectives, has presented a bill to the county for $84, which was paid by police contributions to J. E. Bryant, sheriff of Monroe county, kentucky, for the preparation and shipment of the dead body of Jesse Coe from Tompkinsville, Ky., to Indianapolis, and $5 incidental expenses incurred by Lieutenant C. A. Manning, making a total of $89. Captain Bray said the police department thought the county should pay the bill and reimburse the police, as the money was expended for the "return of a prisoner" to Marion county. The matter was turned over to County Attorney John Ruckelshaus, who took the bill to Judge James A. Pritchard, of Criminal Court, saying that probably the money would properly come out of the fund for the return of fugitives. Judge Pritchard positively declined to allow the bill, saying that paying for the coffin and the shipping of Jesse Coe's body could not be construed as the "return of a prisoner." However, Judge Pritchard did not deny the justice of the claim against the county.-Indianapolis News. True enough, Judge, paying for the coffin and the shipping of Jesse Coe's body could not be construed as the return of a prisoner; but this was an extraordinary case. From what is inferred, the law on the point does not contemplate "luxuries" in such matters. Sending a criminal's body to a special burying place, to Kentucky, as in this instance, making an unusual expense, presumably is what Judge Pritchard rebels at. In any event, the coffin was necessary. The journey back was not necessary; yet the city gained in sending him to those who had a more than curious interest in him. It will be remembered that a great to-do over his body had been advertised; a church had been selected and thousands were bent on attending the ceremonies—out of morbid curiosity, which meant but very little to the colored people and no more to the city. It was a happy act when a quietus was put on all of this sensationalism and Coe's body sent to rest with his father's in the Coe hills. From what is understood the body was sent home in order to avoid a scene and not out of sympathy for the dead man's relatives. The city benefited in avoiding the scene; why not pay for it? NEGRO "EQUALITY AND DOMINATION." A prominent Southern publication, wincing under the defeat of the national Democracy, recently had the following to say: "The Republican party is the same today that it was forty years ago. In the first place, it is a sectional party, the party of special privilege, the party of protection for favored industries, the party of the trusts and combinations, the party of Negro equality and domination, the party of centralization, and because it is what it is and what it has always been the "better class" of white people in the South could not in any circumstances give their allegiance to it." This arraignment is based on truth, but in instances it is so highly colored as to obscure the truth. For example, when the publication says that the Republican party is "the party of Negro equality and domination," the fact of the matter and the coloring are seen at once. With some qualifying it might be admitted that the Republican party is the party of Negro equality, but of Negro domination, never. If it is the party of Negro equality, it is simply because it is the party of equality of men, the Negroes being included incidentally. If it were truly this, answering successfully the claims of all men in a general way, it would not be disturbed by succession unless confronted by a party or parties that offered more "equality." A party standing for civil equality, not social, not only answers to the design and intent of the country, the design and intent of the Declaration of Independence, but answers the aspiration of the soul and finally answers the natural laws as gleaned through our present day religion, testifying to the will of God as to conduct of the human family. Owing to the important part played by the Republican party in the uplift of the Negro, that party has earned the reputation of being the Negroes' special champion. At times this reputation, founded on right acting, has threatened the existence of that party, and yet it has not done more than what should be sanctioned by thoughtful men wheresoever. The trouble is that that publication, and the South generally, will not concede that the Negro has been read into the great brotherhood of the nation, and through the same instrumentality that makes for the existence of that brotherhood. Thoughtful Negroes have in mind the ignorant mass that was let loose on the South in a day, consequently are inclined to hear it with patience, learning the true situation by putting themselves in the place of those of other sections, reversing the situations. forbearance and patience is also claimed on the same theory, reversing the situations. Negro domination has been no tenet of the Republican party; it has stood for the rule of the majority—a great, broad, grand foundation principle that will ever endure in free governments. Unhappily there were unlooked for conditions, conditions unforeseen, and under the same grand foundation principle which, like a freshet in the springtime that throws the steady, thorough-going stream out of its ordinary way; and yet, like the same swollen stream, will in due time get back to its normal condition. The rise of the slave class was a serious incident of that day, yet this dense mass was led on by the genius, Carpet-Bagger, who had selfish ends to serve, and hence was not wholly responsible. But that day is past. Real education, real men, have taken the place of the pawns on the chessboard; deference to wealth, intelligence and even to tradition is in vogue, and the cry of Negro domination is nowhere. Surely the Republican party will not be held for the incidents in conforming to the great principles, even though they arise owing to the Negro race. What transpired at that day was so much experience and for which history is richer, human experience politically, racially, is fuller, and all to the end that the majority shall rule. Civil righteous men, whether Democrats or Republicans, will find no cause to shut out men from the common practices and benefits when they are truly qualified to a part and parcel of the general nation. MELANGE A writer sometime ago essayed that seemingly very difficult role of telling how to be happy, although a Negro. The subject is not very good sounding, since it carries with the idea that Negroes are not generally happy, when relatively they are the happiest people going. That is to say, no other people in similar circumstances are quite so happy. The writer labored evidently under the belief that the woes and burdens incident to life were just as heavy and mean for one individual to bear as another, consequently he felt called on to prescribe remedies for the unfortunate class. But most fortunately there has been an antidote that has been wholly efficacious long ere this. In the first place, the Negroes know nothing much of frenzied finance, sleep well o' nights, undisturbed by the possible slump of tomorrow's market. Business and social rivalry do not excite that keen rivalry, exhausting the wits in holding up the flag of "mine house." Here is a wear-and-tear on the best minds, minds that are reinforced by the best schools, the best experience, the best best environment, the best blood, by the way of heredity. When one thinks of all of this it can be readily seen why the white man cannot laugh. He has no time to inquire into the cause. It is this complete absorption in his business interests that takes the starch out of his visibilities, and which he so envies in the merry mouthed Negroes with their broad and generous guffaws. It is only within recent years that the Negroes have been committed to institutions for the insane—due, one may think, to the growing stress for means of subsistence. Psychologically speaking, it is safe to say that the mind of that day—that of the Negroes' earlier days—was employed only to the extent necessary to care for the lowly conditions. It was not prepared for the sudden change, following which the insane asylums began their work of corralling those that were not equal to the test of the real life. The white man is taught fortitude of the schools; considers it beautiful to be resigned even when the worse fate befalls. The Negroes have been taught by example that tears are the best evidence of appreciation. Tears do have their uses, more useful in the trying times of love than in in the trying times of death. Fortitude is beautiful. The race is learning it and thus contributing to its happiness. And, strange enough in the other days, the very indulgence of griefs and woes seemed a salvation for the mind. Nature's laws were in operation, driving nature's children to nature's defenses. Woe and grief were the rents to the other hard conditions; and again similitude of the Jewish period of Biblical history when Israel lamented and sang, "O Lord, how long?" Fortitude to the Negroes at that day would have meant death, crushed as it were between the upper and neither millstones of untoward circumstances would have been the fate. But no; like one poison served on another rendering negative, thus were the Negroes' otherwise mind-killing songs, steeped with reminders of a "ruined and lost" temporal condition, life and death, sang in opposition to that other mind-killing condition, rendering it negative. Those were truly songs of salvation; they who wrote them moulded better than they know. Informed directly of God or by his agencies, as Moses on the Mount, Death, life, sickness, sorrow, were the recurring themes. Their songs consequently were dolorous—sweet, sad—mineral dirges in the most part, breathing full of the life to come. Those of the period liked to sing such as "Hark from the tomb the doleful sound, my ear attend the cry." And what song is more funereal? And then the songs of their own origin—"Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home." Many more, if not all, of the religious songs were of the same order, creating a feeling of weirdness in the present day listener who also knew something of our "runic age," of the seething cauldron, standing as it were transfixed between the living and the dead. Is it understood? The new ways, the old ways, come close together, so close that the student of either caught a different meaning of life, sawing something that ran through the aboriginal periods of all people, and which broke out again here, right among his own. Mythology, astrology, medicine theology, all of which have been in some form more or less crude since the beginning of time, are evidenced and evidently awaiting the civil plowshare of cultivation. Happiness, as the world conceive it, will be when civilization can no longer stigmatize, when color and previous condition will be hid behind the qualities that make for the fin de siècle man. The Negroes of America are being undone in a political way because they refuse to acknowledge leadership. Every man seems to feel to be of consequence, tending advice and opinions with a cocksureness that causes alarm since this advice and these opinions are based on the observation and experience of the individual, which, under the circumstances, are limited. Leadership is not looked on with favor, not because it is thought about as a means of general advancement, but because it means the elevation of a few, a condition not desired, and only for that reason, regardless of the possible god. The tendency has been to endure ilis and pressure from without rather than concede the mastery to a few choice men, as has been the history of all nations that survived the yoke. The Freeman has talked, preached, and prayed along this line for lo, these many years, calling attention to the drift of affairs; it has pointed out approaching dangers, but to what purpose $ \frac{1}{4} $ With no eye of prophecy, it has seen the lessening circles of the Negroes' civil rights lessening still, like sportsmen rounding up the quarry, until today we are as stag at bay. Finally, the race, owing to its indifference, mutual hate, when it comes to leadership, through the riffs in the walls of defense and offense, the highest court in the land has acted above the law in making for peaceful relations between the races, and which turpitude is owing nearly as much to the Negroes' unenviable qualities as to the white people's set opposition. Only one more calamity greater than this decision could befall a race or individual in a country like this—that is, civil death. And yet, who is disturbed$^{1/4}$. The knowledge of the decision which in a manner sustains everything else similar has not created a tremor of excitement. In fact it is not generally known what the court did, and when known, does not excite passing comment. Suppose such a sweeping decision had been rendered as to affect the civil relation and social, to general society of any other people, is it supposed that those concerned would be indifferent$^{1/4}$. The question may be asked, what's the use$^{1/4}$. It is not the point. The thing indifference, failure to act up to the opportunities and all of the civil and racial delinquencies have made a very poor impression. An incident did not do it. The fact that the Supreme Court decided as it did is not it. Virtually it had no alternative—citizenship being forfeited by insufficient activity. With the whole world as witness, content with a passable condition instead of that strenuosity that characterizes those about, the same that makes all nations look up when little old Japan speaks. Indeed, Japan is so important that it dares not talk or else all the other nations of the earth are on the qui vive to know what it is all about. This does not have in mind any warlike nations, but on the other hand, industrial nations, integrity, sobriety, whereof it will be writ—This is a People. What is being said? Is it this? A people with ideals? No; it is held a nondescript, unstable as water—an easy mark for the world; hence prescription and reminders of caste, and mind you, not owing nearly so much to the activity of the other fellows as it does to the non-activity of ourselves. What we have done, what we possess, is the song, while those things that make possession valuable are slipping away and will continue to do so for years to come, unless there is a racial regeneration—until the Negro race views life just as the white man views it. He will come up by his hard rules or he will stay back; it is written, and the wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err. Leadership may be condemned, and indeed, if conditions for the better could come about without it, there would not be the necessity. Leadership, the elevation of men, is not a desideratum of itself, but because the possibility of pointing the way is better. The proscriptions of recent days calls for thought of the best minds, then action, conservative action, no step being taken unless it means for greater good than harm. Moderation, consideration, are qualities to be employed and not some of the methods known during the past campaign. The struggle is not without witnesses; they, however, will not testify in our behalf unless we prove that we are students of the present day status and act accordingly, winning the way upward through peace and love, which are stronger than iron or stone.

This is an intentionally fine act, consisting of seven dows and her sextieed presence in a mu- sical act; the brasses being entirely employed. The pretty settings enabled by the brass instruments, and an interest and charm to this son, which is heartily responded to by the audience.

Baynard was a soprano of rare voice. She began her career as a concert singer in company with her brother, Wm. A. Baynard, and sang in all the principa cities of the country. In season of 1905 she joined the Soprano company of their solo sopranos and remained with that company two seasons. Season of 1908 she joined the Black Soprano company of their solo sopranos with this company in New Orleans that she contracted a heavy cold, which rapidly developed into tuberculosis, which proved fatal. She is mourned by her husband, Louis Baynard Whitney, and a brother, Wm. A. Baynard, and a host of friends. COLE AND JOHNSON. The much heralded "Red Moon," the new vehicle of Messrs. Cole & Johnson, made its initial bow to an Indianapolis paired with the parade on November 14, 17 and 18. The show is posited innovation inasmuch as it is an introductory measure of absolutely new characters and impersonations to the stage so far as colored performers are concerned. The show is based on a musical, operatic and comedy standpoint, it might be justly called a full-fledged and well-constructed comic opera, deserving presentation in the bet. The show will receive unstintedly the recognition it is entitled to as, in that case, it would be better understood. Especially is this true of the second act wherein is unbundled a strictly operatic situations and settings. The story of the play has to do with a romantic episode opening in and around a Government school for Indians and Neanderthals (which is). As it unfolds itself the plot is well sustained throughout. The first act opens BOB COLE. BOB COLE. with an exterior view of the school and grounds. It develops that "Minnehaha" (Miss Abbie Mitchell), the half-breed daughter of an Indian chief who fifteen years before he deserved an award for his wanderings in his people and the "Land of the Setting Sun," suddenly returns and claims his child over the protests of the Negro moors and returns to offer some splendid situations and brilliant lines, both comic and sentimental. The father, however, with the designs and flaunt and the "Land of the Setting Sun), a bold, bad Indian student at the school who is in love with Minnehaha, finally prevail in their mission and the father to his tribe and the "Land of the Setting Sun." The finale is strong and convincing—the music simply the best heard at the Park this season. So much Act III. The last act involves the best efforts of the entire company and brings forth the full strength of their individual ability, particularly is their stars. Jason shows to very funny and Mr. Johnson shows to good advantage as a finished and much improved actor over his efforts of last year. More of the tale: "simmie" having been restored to her home and friends, the denouement is easily guessed. As a reward for his bravery, the company offers Mr. Johnson "boos" the maiden's hand in marriage and all are happy. The authors and management deserve much credit for the production. It is a new picture throughout, frame and all. There is a bit of evolution intervened throughout, but a beneficial effect upon the American society regards their opinion of the THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Negro. They have succeeded in bringing out to a nicety the natural degenerate tendency of the Indian and show correspondingly well the ambition of the Negro. Some such like sermon was preached by Mr. Edson in "Strongheart," but was not as complete in text, and less as is the picture held in the picture book. The personnel of the show has been carefully selected and admirably cast. The principals are all clever and include Kinsley Jones, Anna Cook, Mollie Dill, Elizabeth Williams, Andrew Trible, Fanny Wise, Arthur Taltott, Theodore Pankey, Abbie Mitchell, Frank Brown and James Benson. The character work of Arthur Taltott as the Indian chief was clever. Andrew Trible was funny and, as have said by Kinsley Jones, an excellent character. The wench' characters on the stage, Fanny Wise is a finished actress and would be a factor in any cast. Both Elizabeth Williams and Mollie are good characters, we should allow them to be in demand. Wesley Jenkins and Sam Lucas are too well known to require special mention or comment. Little Edgar comes, and made good with his song "Sambo." back number, he having just added one of the latest crazes entitled "Love Means Trouble to Me," which has fared the same as our drummer boy, Marcus Coble.

Dahomey, Dahomey, the dear old stroll, has on its winter coat and business is being formed and heading for the woods and canebrakes. Out-of-town houses in Oklahoma, Orleans and small towns in Oklahoma and Texas. Dens are larger than at any time in the history of the business. Bills from the stroll to the other are occasionally good. The Grand.-The house that the people make it their duty to patronize offered a great show of talent, but not as good. What's the difference? the house is packed at every performance. The Washington.-This has loomed up to be one of the houses of the big circuit. This week's bill stands out. Pamplin, "The Demon of the Tropics," should be the best of the same. Same old tricks as of old, but works so hard that he is compelled to catch the audience. The act is in need of new dress, and the act is in need of new shoes. was May Mars and her five girls from some place or another. This is what you call the act of colors. It runs in all kinds of dresses, after cutting a great many "hogs." They will do better after they are rehearsed. **The Lincoln.**—The oldest house on the stroll, and is beginning to show its age. It offered Joe Brown and his partner as an attraction. Mr. Brown is the man that introduced John W. Ransom, who has sworn to work in no place but right in Dahoney. Mr. Brown can neither sing nor dance, and is very good in spots. Mr. Brown has that bad habit of talking to the leader of the orchestra. There was a good Jew comedian on the bill; and then some bad song slide song singing. **The Monogram.**—The house of funny ways; sometimes a good bill, sometimes a bad bill.

This is a way down South picture, where colored people are not allowed in the audience.

It has cut down half of its forces and half of its electric lights. Eugene F. Mann's, "That's all." George Bailey, the veteran trombone player in the same orchestra, the double bass player in the same orchestra, is taking his vacation. Will Teler, the leader and violinist, will soon follow. This is Tim Owsley's last week at the Pekin. He has some vaudeville dates. After they are filled he will slowly case the violins, singing "Tm the Last of the Mohicans." RAGTIME MUSIC AND DIRECTORI GOWNS FLAYED Ragtime music and directoire dress came in for hard treatment at the hands of the Moral Education Congress, at London, Eng, which for a week considered what it meant to dress for a man's drenn's interest in their studies, as well as to improve their behavior. The congress, which included delegates from many countries, among them Dr. Felix Adler of the University of Chicago, four quarters, but little elsewhere, the head master of Eton taking it to task for certain statements regarding the character of youth, which he thought he ought to know better. He was a teacher in the school, I seemed a relief, therefore, when R. G. Boville, of the New York vacation schools, told the congress there was "danger to children in the ragtime songs which are now popular among young people" "songs cause disorganized, violent and intemperate personalities by affecting the child's moral organization through the coral cords." To Miss Amy Lock, modern fashion must be superseded at all costs, for if ragtime music hurts the morals through the throat, directoire dresses, for example, did the same through shrunken waists and wilted souls. The best way to to fight the evil was to teach anatomy thoroughly. THE DANDY DIXIE MINSTRELS. The Dandy Dixie Minstrel Company, with its famous Cotton Pickers' Band, have had several additions which have enhanced both our band, orchestra and first instrument. A former Amos Gillard, whose ability as a bonist is undisputed, Napoleon Black, who left to pay a visit to dear ones, has returned home, and the "boys" claim that a plum good up is in again. The instrument on both bands is well divided, the former having eight members, under the efficient leadership of the most worthy Ed B. Dudley. James on the stage manager, has kept up with the time, and has played or any other part of his work to become a RAY'S CREOLE BELLES. W. H. Ray's Creole Belles opened at the Casino, 106 River street, Hoboken, J. to a packed house with all star artistry, and the ornamented attractions have played that city.

The following people have recently joined the show, which makes the company a big success. Gross, Miget器, Sallie Lee and Mamie Ferber of the J. W. Moore's New Orleans Minstrels, also Billy Ward and New Orleans Doolm.

HOW TO FEED PROPER. Numerous tests by the State experi ment stations have shown over and over that feeding animals out of balance of food consituents is very. wasteful. When fed-a balanced ration of protein and car- Bonacious foods, the ‘ration is digested and assimilated’ without. waste. as when fed too much of the one and not enough of the other. Such is the basis of prof- table feeding of domestic animals, Food that is consumed and is not digested and Assimilated is lost, of course. ~ But that is not all. ‘The undigested food is a posi- tive harm. Tt irritates and poisons. Poison is exactly the right Word to use. Tt has been found that the undigested food produces a real poison, Hence not only the gain but the thrift and health Of the animal depend on its digesting and assimilating {ts food. Tut, further, the food digested and assimilated by the animal is divided into two portions—the food of support and the food gain. vena well fed animal uses about one-half of its food, or even hore, as the food of support to supply the waste of its body. "the man with a good appetite digests bis food well be- Cause “his digestive organs are in good condition, and for the further reason that because he has a good appetite the glands that secrete the Mulds that produce diges- tion are very active and pour out, those hulds on the food abundantly. And it is Just'so With the horse or cow or steer hui digests and assimilates its food well Aal digess and asimilates its food well it has a. keen appetite and eats heartily, and therefore Its food for gain is a large ‘part of the food It consumes, and it pays good price for its food.

We have been told if we would be silent on how the “colored brother” is being used and’ not given any- thing above that of a “street cieaner” or & “town walker,” we could get something. We have informed the ward messengers that we are in| the ‘newspaper, business, and are among those who look upon it as a professional pride. We have no genius for the work, but we plod along daily for the Courier-Journal and ‘Times, and other papers, not as a space-slugger or a repor- torial ‘tattle-monger, but as a chronicler of events of the better side of Negro life, as well as a writer of other news “stories.” We do not particularly care to be han- dicapped by office or be subordinated to it. Tt looks to us that we can be more useful than always aspiring for office; that we can be a useful somebody, a re- spected somebody. While but few, if any, of the Negro newspaper men are growing rich, there are some who will not wear the ‘badge of political slavery, but will show they are still free men ‘and their profession 1s self-sustaining. ‘At last Louisville is to have an out-and- out shoe store. ‘The Enterprise Shoe Store will open in the Douglass building about the middle of the month. Nothing but high-grade stock will be carried. It will be an establishment that ought to com- mend Itself to the colored people of this community. It will be on a larger scale than any yet attempted. There are fifty thousand Negroes in the city of Louis- ville. ‘They average not less than five dol- lars apiece a year for shoes. That means that they spend enormous sums during the year among white firms. If a colored store can give equally as good a shoe as the white salesman, it does seem that five thousand colored people ought to, patron. ize this new enterprise. ‘To secure that patronage @ mammoth prize willbe of fered. The proprietor of the undertaking owns two lots, Nos. 27 and 28, at Magno- ‘ia and Thirty-sixth streets. ‘Lot No. 27 will be given away as a prize. A-ticket will be given away with each pair of shoes bought. At the end of six months the drawing for the Jot will take place, pro- vided that two thousand sales have been made in that time. The Freeman wishes the new enterprise, as well as all. other enterprises, much ‘success in thelr en- deavor. It would advise the proprietor to get before the Negro Business League and other racial organizations and push his business with an alm to make it a suc- er wee ‘The Louisville Teachers’ Institute met last Saturday at the Central High School, Ninth and Magazine streets. It was one of the largest meetings held since Prof. W. P. Annis was president. One hour was given to round table discussions on primary, grammar and high school de- partments. ‘The program was by far one, of the most, interesting that has been held at the institute for a number of months.

LEONARD M. QUILL, Clerk. JAS. T. V, HILL, Attorney for Plaintift, '8144 North Delaware St. Prof. W., H. Bartholomew, principal of the ‘girls white High School, was the principal speaker of the occasion. ‘The Subject was “Reasonable Views of Think- ing and.
