In the recent election in Chicago two candidates were elected to the office. Mr. Frank Leland was elected Commissioner and Dr. Leland was elected to the Ohio legislature.

Miss Marie Young, as Waneta, misses the Lasscal Co., and Miss Marie Lucas on her father Sam Lucas, the oldest man on the stage will also pose for the picture company. Miss Daisy Brown has promised to pose as a ballet girl. Dr. Henry Fitzbuler and Editor W. Dr. Johnson have run for office in the Tenth ward and have been a resident of the mass. Its up to the Negroes to get in the game and stay there and turn a deaf ear to the old "Its Too Early." Out of the 600 elective offices, the "brother" should squeeze in the tenth ward. A little more information and racial unity, much would be accomplished in this direction. Its up to the thinking Negroes to organize. Organization is the most formidable weapon in the struggle. A little more brave and resourceful leader is what is necessary in the fight. That "white folks" are superstitious as well as other races, was evidenced here last week when a large number of them moved out of a block when a large number of their race had committed murder. Before the murder, the Negroes were up, not rented to Negroes. Within the next two days every house was empty after the murder and now the colored people occupy some of the less hospitable homes in the western part of the city and if a murder occurs the colored people may be able to rent in the excluded district.

OR BY SOURCE "ANY STATE ON ACCOUNT OF RACE, COLOR, OR PREVIOUS CONDITION OF SERVITUDE. UNITED-STATES CONSTITUTION. Ky., was in the city Tuesday. He said he was out for Recorder of Deeds, Washington, D. C., and that he would soon be in the city. He is a full of candidates. He is an old soldier and has a perfect right to "run" We still maintain that Kentucky ought to have something at the hands of the Fed. He is a good candidate. He voted strongly for Taft in many sections and a representative job should be given a worthy Negro. We suppose they will be told to "Wait Awhile." The "Columbia," which was launched by the late Dr. W. T. Peyton, some nine years ago, was resurrected last Saturday by Dr. K. Peters as editor and manager. Dr. K. Peters and most likely he will use his paper as a campaign sheet from now on to hold the "brother" in line. While it is expected that he will support the administration, he is beholden to the defense as to sacrifice the interests of the Negro for sake of personal favor. We will watch with pleasure the move to the "Columbia." We wish it a pleasant and safe journey on the sea of journalism. --- At the recent conference of the A. M. E. church of the Western District, the Rev T. A. hampson was appointed to T. A. hampson to the Church, Ninth and Walnut streets. He became pastor Oct. 25, and since tat time there has been some little controversy about his remaining. It only existed for few years. Only one occasion the doors were locked and a minister was barred, it is reported. The case finally reached the courts and the few trustees who were in he dispute were the Judge ruled that they came not. The Judge ruled that nothing against the Rev. Thompson and he was sent to rule and abide with his flock. --- On Monday night Messrs. Cole and Johnson were very agreeably surprised. Two of the chief friends gave the funmakers a record of the handshakes received since they have been traveling. Mr. Robson, the manager was called in to look upon it and he declared it to be perplexed. The apperance of Messrs. was next called and he voted to that see, the hottest thing he had ever seen. Uncle Sam Lucas was the next one to inspect Messrs. Hunter, Jones, Gust, Johnson, Talbert, Pankey, DeLyons, Phelps and Brown were called in the dressing room and the unanimous opinion was that it was the most acceptable gift ever given an actor. --- and serviceable woman off the stage of action in this city. Mrs. Hutchinson was one of the most highly admired women in the city, and she had long lines was not surpassed by any in this section. She was one of the pioneer music teachers and also taught school in this city. There was never a musical conference in the city, and she gave the attention of Mrs. Hutchinson. She was kin, tender and willing and every church in the city, regardless of denomination, knew of her valuable aid and service. She had her children go to school and loved by both old and young. There are hundreds who will mourn for her less because while pasing through this world, she did not she can do because she sent her children to Goethe-Baptist church of which she was organist and Doctors Gaddie and Robinson conducted the funeral services. Flowers were sent by both white and colored. Mr. George Slaughter, agent of the Freeman, broke the record in the sale of the Marmalade at the sale on Douglass Building, 726 W. Walnut street, 1026 W. Walnut streets and other parts of the city. The paper is growing in circulation, let each reader help it grow by paying for it and urging others to do. CARY B. LEWIS.

The unthinking optimist may go into ecstasy over the recent turn of political events and may shout with as much noise and as little reason as an old-timer in the Amen corner, but those who are earnest and thoughtful will do little shouting but lots of work just now. To discuss the way the Negro made a fool of himself during the recent campaign would be a most ungrateful thing, and would deserve the hot censure it would bring upon the head of any idiot who tried it. The event is past, the present is here. There is nothing to do now but to stir all and get up and at work. In ancient times philosophers allowed an Antaeus to raise them above the face of nature and in that situation they struggled quietly to solve the problems and discover the rules for happy and prosperous life. In this day the wise man must stand firmly on the level surface of the earth and the times and take things away. God is the Great Ruler, the Church is the voice of the people and yet God speaks to us all through every event. At Dodona in Epirus the priests listened for the voice of God, the heart of the sacred oaks. The rite was a superstition but today it can be turned into a rule that rests upon a mighty truth. We can hear the Voice of God in the rustle of every day we can read His will in every event, we can hear his purpose in the trend of human affairs. The race is now emancipated from its slavery to traditions, it can enter upon an era of rational and sane endeavor. It is not easy to imagine any of us to realize what is the truth of the assertion. "A horse is a horse, a spade is a spade, a king is a king, a Negro is a Negro." The people of this country and of the world are going to learn in time that it is false to believe "A Negro is a nigger," but they will all learn that a Negro can be the same time be at the front among men. Time was when it was the highest ambition of a Negro to show that he was not a Negro, but now he has learned the wholesome lesson that he cannot dodge the place of honor and power among men in his real and true character if he will but wash and and cleanse himself of his racial faults and seek and acquire the knowledge and understand that the age and the generation demand. The mean and niggerish traits of slavery are to be dispised, should be pointed out as the main cause of our niggerish person in a community or public life should be jailed in a social and business sense and in every way possible the race should now try to encourage the growth of the best elements which it can produce. It has already been made perfectly clear that neither our country nor any other country will tamely accept as a citizen the Negro who does not become in motive and manner like the people among whom he lives. The election of Mr. Taft as President not only assures the country of a period of peace and security but of enough years of favorable conditions to the race to make it possible for the Negro parents of today to rear their children and prepare them to start in life unharmed yet bad. The Negro is no longer the ward of any political party nor the pet of any society or coterie of fadists. He has been among many classes of the people, and he has to work out his own salvation just as do all others. There is no just reason now to ask the race to patronize a lawyer or doctor or merchant just because he is a Negro, nor is there any just reason to ask or expect any special public favors on such matters as the education of the bar or to practice medicine in any state, he must simply be prepared to pass the examinations and meet the tests prescribed by law and need no longer look made an exception of because of his race. What the Negro will be in the future will depend upon what he is prepared to do. That he has expected long since demonstrated, but that he will be able to handle himself to the best advantage is yet to be seen. He will be able to bring more discouraging and shameful in the history of the race than the murder of the Book Concern and the Christian Recorder at Philadelphia by the last general conference of the sad spectacle stand a dozen of the leading metropolitan churches that are pastored by men of small-town calibre, while in many of the smaller places are young of great ability and who would fill the bill. Bishop Gaines is now in the historic First District, and he is a man of grit and humility. He set the pace at his spring conferences. There are some of the older men who are of metropolitan calibre, and there are some of the younger men who are, but not all of them, young and old, who have gained place in charges for which they are entirely inadequate. They have managed under weak episcopal administrations to hold their places in spite of all deficiencies by raising big dollar money through entertainments and public Continued on Pair Four.

MISSION If you are sighing for a lofty work, If great ambitions dominate your mind, Just give yourself and see you do not shirk The common, little ways of being kind. If you are dreaming of a future goal, When, crowned with glory, men shall own power. Be careful that if let no struggling soul Go by envision in the present hour. If you are moved to pity for the earth. And going to aid it do not look so high. You pass shame poor, dumb creature faint with thirst; All life is equal in the Eternal eye. If you would help to make the wrong right, Begin at home; there lies a life-time's to Weed your own garden fair for all men's sight Before you plan to fill another's toil. God chooses His own leaders in the world. And from the own he asks but willing hands; As mighty mountains into place are hurled. While patient tides may only shape the sands. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox DO YOU WANT A NEGRO DOLL?

Mrs. Henry Water Taft an dher daughter, Miss Louise Taft, sailed for Europe in 1839. She met with the dressmakers at Paris, preparing for the inauguration ball at Washington. AUSTRALIAN WOMEN TO VOTE. The Victorian Legislative Council has passed the bill empowering women to vote at state elections. The bill previously had been rejected several times. The women throughout Australia have now won the vote in both commonwealth and state elections. KEEP GIRLS OFF STREET. Miss Mary McDowell, of the University of Chicago Social Settlement at St. Louis, in an address at St. John's M. E. Church, South, denounced the practice of permitting little girls to sell chewing gum and newspapers in the streets of St. Louis. Miss McDowell addressed one of the members of the National Conference of Methodist Federation for Social Service. SIX DOLLARS PER WEEK WILL FEED FAMILY. A household economic expert, Miss Grace W. Pittman, said at the eighth annual convention of the New Jersey Congress of Mothers at Baltimore, J. Patricia Peterson per week is amply to feed a family of four. Several delegates rose in good-natured protest. Inquiries came from every side. The speaker said in reply: "I don't mean, of course, that the housework before she married could perform a miracle like this, but I do maintain that a little woman, with a keen business sense, devoted to her husband and children, could keep her table amply with nutritious food for six dollars a week. BLIND WOMAN IN BUSINESS. Mrs. G. H. B. Bolling, wife of Dr. Bolling, of Pittsburg, is blind and has been for several years. Mrs. Bolling is a manufacturer of a blue that gives a hint to the color of the dress worn on the market. It has stood the test of eight years, and her mail orders show to what extent the public appreciates the value of this great help to loundresses. The time used in the manufacture of her blue, Mrs. Bolling finds time to devote to charity work. She is president of an organization of women that look after homeless children of the city and the temporary office of the office and residence of Dr. Bolling. AGAINST NUDE ART IN SCHOOLS The educational committee of the Local Council of Women (white) of Indianapolis will take charge of a movement on the part of several of the affiliated clubs to protest against the nude in art in the city. Mrs. S. D. Farrabee, on behalf of the protesting clubs, said at the November meeting of the council held last week at All Souls' church. This protest is not meant to do anything art value, but they feel that children in the formative period look at them otherwise. The physicians are in sympathy with the movement. This does not mean that the students will not show the artistic character of the subjects." Later, when Mrs. Farrabee was asked what art in the school was objectionable, she said it was the statuary. The education and report at the next meeting. YEAR'S RESIDENCE NEEDED. From the returns received on the new divorce law it is believed it has been approved by a large majority of the voters. This is expected to put the divorce mills, South Dakota a byword, out of business. The amendment to the constitution, which was aimed at "easy" divorces, and which is believed to have been adopted by the voters, requires a residence of one hundred or more acres of the State and eligible to apply to the courts for release from matrimonial bonds. Hitherto only six months' residence has been necessary, and neither the courts requires that all divorce cases be heard at a regular term of court. This will wipe out the practice of hearing divorce cases "in chambers" during court terms as well as for divorce cases that require the secrecy which has enabled applicant to obtain divorces without the general public becoming aware of the fact brought the law into disfavor, and is therefore less likely to receive the voters to decrease the floating population of the State. The new law is to take effect immediately after the State canvassing board approves the court of the vote, which will be in December. LESSONS IN DISH WASHING. This seems one of the simplest of tasks, yet there is a right and a wrong way of doing it. You can cook housework. The first thing is to soak all cooking utensils and egg and dough dishes in cold water, as the heat would cook the flour and egg if it came in contact with them. You can easily soak them in rinse oil and especially soiled ones. Pile all dishes of one kind together; empty each cup and面粉 and rinse everything is cleared up and all food put away, fill the pan with clean, hot, soapy all cooking utensils first and it certainly makes the task seem easier; it also leaves the washer's hands in better condition than the oven. You can finish the last, if you choose this way to empty DIFFICULT. aand wash the dishpan before starting on the glass. Wash the glass, rinse in warm water and wipe at once; then wash silver and rinse it in very hot water, rubbing hard to preserve the polish. Put the dishpan in the dishwasher, spattered from the other dishes; then wash the cleanest dishes and rinse in water well below the boiling point, as too high a temperature cracks the glaze, and in time ruins the china. Fine dishes should be washed with hot water while something else is being done, for it intures the gilt and colors. Don't leave soap in the water; don't put the handles of pearl-handed knives in the water and don't use anything but the clearest water and towels all the way. Don't put a knife in the pan at once and then wonder how so many get nicked and broken; avoid the faucets of the sink, as they are responsible for many a broken knife. Another reason for breakage is in changes in temperature in dish and rinsing water; neither very hot or very cold water is as likely to crack china as excess of heat in succession. Another reason is that using a mild soap on a strong one on fine dishes, and never rub any kind of scouring soap directly on patterned ware.

Jameson, of St. Louis, Mo. There was special music by Miss Ida Muller. WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS URGED BY WOMAN DOCTOR. At the National Woman's Council at Union City, Ind., last week, a war on tuberculosis was urged by the chairman of the National Cancer Institute, Fisher Rose of Michigan. She called attention to the fact that at least 200,000 deaths occur from tuberculosis in the United States each year, and declared the curbing of the disease to be the greatest threat there are a few sentences from her report: "The germ of consumption may enter the body by being inhaled, by being taken up through the lungs, or by wound in the skin; the inhalation of the germ of tuberculosis was formerly considered to be undoubtedly the most frequent cause of the disease. It will be effected more easily through a correct observance of the laws of hygiene and cleanliness than the use of medicines. Anything which has a tendency to depress the vital function of those fine soil for the infection by the bacillus. "A consumptive is not a source of danger to others so long as he is careful, but a careless consumptive is always a source of the government appropriates money for the suppression of hog cholera and blight on fruit trees, and yet the white plague has received only secondary consummation. "Work! Work! Work! This should be the slogan. Let every town organize for the extinction of tuberculosis. What what a power there is in your hands. If the power has received only secondary consummation, this great cause will it in our power to crush out this dread disease which yearly destroys more than all of the world's crops. "In the name of God and of our country raise the banner of progress and do not give up the fight until tuberculosis is relegated to the same class as smallpox, yellow fever and other diseases during the last century were considered scourges of the world." An attack on marriage as a means for women to obtain support for themselves and of all these women is made by Prof Charles Zueblin today in a lecture on "Education and Life" before the Society for Ethical Culture, at Chicago. He taught children the meaning of sex, and our girls the meaning of motherhood," he said. "Our chief obligation in this life is the care of children. If we are blessed with the maternal instinct, why should she not satisfy it? She is dependent on being able to marry a man, a man whom she may have married, a woman who may or may not support her properly. "Is there any reason why a woman who longs to have children should not do so regardless of the conventions of society? If she should be a matriarch, she is not. What is our chief obligation? To care for the children. It would seem as if a woman who wants children, and who wants to have children, ought to have them. That is her pre-operative, and we ought to meet each other more frequent so that proper unions may take place. Children are provided-with proper physical protection. As a matter of fact no genuine mother minds laying down her life that is a part of the great mystery of life." for wearing "jumpers." The woman was working as a hodcarrier, and explained to the judge that she put on the "jumpers" because they hampered her less than altruism because the less surface for the court, and now the club women have come to her assistance. They wish the judge to explain in what respect the wearer should be, and the greater offense to public morals than the pink tights of a ballet girl. SHELL HAIRPINS. The colfur of a girl this season will show as many shell hairpins as one head can stand. The hairpins hidden as much as possible, but the large-headed hairpins and the immense barette fill up the surface of the head. Each one of the puffs arranged at the back of the Psychiatrist is held in place by a large-headed shell pin at each end. The pompadour, which is twisted from the center of the head down to the low place by a great hairpin instead of a comb. Some girls have gone so far as to add to these one on each side the side pompadour and makes the effect as square as possible at the back. The shell hairpins with the ball top are in a good style. TOILET TIPS In order to have the hair smell sweet wear tiny scented rolls in the puffs or pompadour, or either spray the hair, then a little scented cap for a few moments. To loosen the scalp, massage it thoroughly each night. Rub the finger tips in the scalp toward the crown of the head, work the scalp up and down and then give a light upward stroke at the base of the skull.

To a degree sensitiveness is a good quality and one to be cherished. But every fine quality has its defects, and the defect of undue sensitiveness is morbidness. Never torture yourself by wondering if on this or the other occasion you made yourself appear ridiculous, you wrote a letter to your teacher at the school made a silly speech, be comforted; people will not remember it long. If there was a clever thing you might have said and did not, remind yourself that there are more come and there will be other chances. THINGS WORTH KNOWING. The raveled threads from old linen will be found most satisfactory for darning tablecloths or napkins. Stove polish mixed with vinegar and the cloth will give additional and more lasting luster. To clean bronze, moisten salt with vinegar, rub briskly with a woolen cloth dampened in this, rinse in clear water and polish. To clean linen, wash in cheese wrapped in a cloth previously steeped in vinegar and water will keep fresh for a considerably longer time than when in the store room in an ordinary way. A aryre will be kept roundround the saturated one, and the latter resteeped in vinegar and water from time to time. Very few home laundries are aware of the fact that blanks have been washed and dried thoroughly, should be well beaten with an ordinary carpet CULT. —Taylor in Los Angeles Times. beater. This has the effect of making the wool light and soft, and giving the blanket a new and fresh appearance. A good cook adds a teaspoonful of sugar to each quart of water in which corn, peas or squash are cooked. With your stove, then add a few drops of linened oil on a woolen cloth, rub the stove well, and it will never have to be blackened. This is a great labor saver. When your stove them up, apply in cleaning coat collars, but it should never be used in this connection unless it has been much diluted with water. A hot iron should never be pressed over the colored embroidery itself, as this is apt to fade the colors and spill the look of the garment. You test for milk, failing the regular glass tube supplied by the public analyst, is to put a bright steel knitting needle into the milk. If, on withdrawing it, the milk adheres and drops off slowly, it has been softened. If, on quickly, it has been adulterated with water, and further steps should be taken. Ask Dorothy about the Negro doll. Use small brush and common baking soda to dry-clean laces and neck rucklings. The first hunter's license ever issued to a woman in Hancock county, Indiana, was purchased November 14. The will of the late Lewis H. Douglass, son of the deceased Fred Douglass, has been probated. The estate is bequeathed to relatives. In order that she may protect her life and property, a widow living in Redwood Canyon, Cal., has asked that she be appointed a deputy sheriff. Out of the Negro population of 25,000 in Houston, ex-tex there are only voters, to say, persons who hold poll tax receipts and exemption certificates. Any girl can easily secure a beautiful Negro doll by writing Dorothy.

Her explanation did not suffice for the court, and now the club women in the district fled. The judge to explain in what respect the wearing of jumpers by a working woman is a violation of the morals than the pink tights of a ballet girl. SHELL HAIRPINS. The coifure of a girl this season will show as many shell hairpins as one head can stand. Combs are hidden as much as possible, but the large-headed hairpins and the immeasurable barette fill up the surface of the head. Each one of the puffs arranged at the back of the Psyche knot is held in place by a large-headed shell pin at each end. The pompadour, which is twisted from one end of the head down to the low knot, is held in place by a great hairpin instead of a comb. Some girls have gone so far as to add to these one on each side of the knot. Its finely twisted overs the side pompadour and makes the effect as square as possible at the back. The shell hairpins with the ball top are used, but they are not in as good style as those with the open-arched top. You would love to have a leather, even you must wear least six of them; even at that they do not make any more showing of shell in the hair than when girls wore four or five side combs. The barette is the thing these days. It is the barette that holds up the huge knot at the back of the head. When the hat is on nothing shows but this barette. MRS. CARTER'S GOWNS SOLD.

After years of agitation by individ- uals and organizations, bones repre- senting approximately, 15,000 “mar- tyrs” of the Revolutionary war, who died on the prison ship Jersey and other lesser vessels in Wallabout Bay, Brooklyn, lie at last in a fittingly: marked burial place, forw hich the government, New York State and hun- dreds of individuals made contribu- tions. An imposing Dorie column of granite, 270 feet high, surmounted by a funeral urn and flagstaff, rises above the tomb at Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn. This was dedicated today. The vicissitudes of the remains of the sailors and soldiers who died of fever and starvation, and rotted in the foul hulks of the British prison ship long anchored in Wallabout Bay, which they polluted, have been many, and have caused more than one out- burst of public indignation. It was many decades ago at a Brooklyn town meeting, that definite steps were first urged properly to bury the remains. Nothing was done, however, until years later, when the Tammany So- ciety obtained funds for a temporary wooden tomb, which was constructed in Hudson street. To this the bodies, dug from the trenches along the Wal- labout banks, where they had been hastily buried, were removed. With passing years the structure fell into decay, the bones became ex- posed and children played with them. Public feeling became aroused, and in 1875 the city of Brooklyn removed all that could be collected, several loads of them, to a tomb at Fort Greene Park under the stairs of the entrance, where they had been until work had begun on the present me- morial, which the late Stanford White designed, and which represents about $200,000. To these bones were added, four years ago, after a public service at Plymouth church, many more, fill- ing about eight coffins, which had been unearthed in construction of warehouses at the Brooklyn navy yard. All the bones are now eneased in metallic coffins in the spacious tomb, which is approached by a stately flight of several hundred steps. ‘The Freeman will be sent to any ad- Gress in ‘the United: States until January 1, for $1.00-a year, Subscribe now. DR. J. W. HENDERSON HAS VIEWS. What little the Negro has done for for himself by the quiet and intelli gent use of his political power has been largely taken from him by the frantic and noisy endeavors of a few, possibly sincere, but certainly mis- guided men, whose zeal far exceeds their wisdom. There was a time when the Negro was a party issue; that time is past so long and so clearly that there is no excuse for the folly of those who look to political parties for radical relief from the evils which bear down upon the race. So far as it can spare the time and the thought to do so, the Republican party is still the friend of the Negro, but there are so many other questions of more im- portance to the nation as a whole that no party seeking victory can push a side issue to the front and hope for victory. If the most radical Negro were to be made President and should undertake to honestly and intelligent- ly discharge his whole duty to the nation he would soon see that the race questions are only questions among hundreds of other questions and not of the supreme importance to the na- tion that they are to the Negro. This same truth would be quickly revealed to the most radical champion of the laboring man or of the trusts were he made President, Slavery was for a time a supreme issue and the Republican party fought it out victoriously. The adjustment of the Negro in the national life is an ineldent now and not a supreme issue. ‘There is no Negro now living or none who have lived who could have entered the office of President with more sincere and earnest intention of settling the race question than did our true friend, Roosevelt, and there is no Negro living who could have done as much for the race and still be true to the whole nation as has he. The terrible injustices and the awful evils to which the Negro has been subjected has made him an ego- ist and he can see nothing in the is- sues before the nation as they are seen by other citizens. This is nat- ural and excusable perhaps, but it is unfortunate. It has produced a class of men who would have a whole ward full of patients suffering from grave complaints wait until a painful car- bunele on one patient is treated. The surgeon-in-chief, who is Public Opin- ion, will not yield to the impatient cries of a minor patient to the neg- lect of those whose complaints are graver. Bishop Walters and his followers are like the wandering children of Israel who so often rebelled against the Lord and denounced his servant Moses. They would turn back to the Egyptians. J. M. HENDERSON, M. D. | “They would turn back to the Bgyp- tians.” The illustration is not so apt as the writer intended it to be. The route to enlarged citizenship is by no means assured. We have been in the wilderness of doubt for some forty years, as iBshop Walters would say, and still the race is not certain of the ‘path to choose. No one knows a sin- gle step of the way when it comes to politics. Much may be done to help ascertain the way aside from polities, through industrialism and through the observation of high moral laws that apply toa man. The Freeman advises the making of friends when and wher- ever possible, everything else being equal. It is no mean principle to stand for the friends of the race, no matter how they may be politically labeled. Hon. J. Van Vechten Olcott, of New York is making an active canvass for reelection to Congress from the Fif- teenth Congressional District of that State. Mr. Oleott is personally against “Jim Crowism” and Negro. disfran- chisement. Owing to this stand the colored people voters are loud in his praise. In one of his recent speeches he told of an incident, which, while amusing enough, aptly illustrates how difficult it is for a Negro to get by a board apopinted to look after the qual- ffieations of yoters—the educational test. Says he: “The Governor of ‘Alabama had ap- pointed commissioners to find out whether the voters in the different precincts were capable of passing the education test and so were eligible to the franchise. There was one partic- ular colored man in this part of the State of Alabama, a man of remark- able intelligence, a man of standing in the community, an owner of prop- erty, who unfortunately was especial- ly influential with the other colored men less favored than he. Of course the examination in reading and writ- ing went by without any trouble, but then the commissioners started to ask him questions upon the Constitu- tion of the United States. They found he knew materially more about that than possibly his inquisitor. Finally, realizing that there must be some way in which they could eliminate the pos- sibility of this man’s influential vote being cast, they sald: “Sam, what do you know about the writ of habeas corpus?” “Sam looked at his inquisitor and half smiled and half cried, and he said: “The writ of habeas corpus means you don’t want this nigger to vote.’ “When his auditors laughed, he re- plied as follows: ‘Now, gentlemen, you may laugh at that, but it is a tragedy, and I know that the thing was true, becausé it was told to me by the Alabama Democrat who him- self was the inquisitor.’” Again he said: “Now, this “Jim Crow” car proposition—does it not seem rather ridiculous to get up and say that it is not a discrimination I have been south of Mason and Dixon’s line a great many times. I have seen the cars to which the colored people are sent. I have seen the cars in which the white people traveled, and there is not one of you who will get up and say that they are in the slight- est degree equal. Suppose the Su- preme Court did say this separation ot passengers was not a discrimination. ‘They are not carrying out the law as you have put it on the statute books.” | if you want to see’ Vice-President Fairbanks smile, tell him he is getting fat. One does not have to be on par- ticularly intimate terms with the Vice- President to evoke his smile by that remark, and there is no danger of in- sulting Mr. Fairbanks by telling him so, his friends say. Ordinarily such a remark to a Vice- President of the United States would seem in a way lese majeste. Not so with Mr. Fairbanks, and his friends say that he really is beginning to take on flesh a little, though there is a long way to go yet before he can be ac- cused of being actually corpulent. Still those who saw Mr. Fairbanks for the first time last Friday night, when he addressed four meetings in a whirlwind automobile speech-mak- ing tour of the city were surprised at his fullness of face. There was also a slight rotundity amidships which surprised those who had only seen photographs and cartoons of the Vice- President. There is far less of the bean-pole effect about the Vice-Presi- dent than the cartoonists usually de- pict. If he were a foot shorter he would not be called thin. It is his towering height and straight back which intensify his general appear. ance of thinness. ‘Those who know Mr. Fairbanks well say that he is not at all sensitive about his shape. But they add that he has a sly admiration for rather cor- Dulent men, and hopes of some day, when his aetive political life is over, of becoming—well, fairly stout. Samuel S. Koenig, the Republican candidate for secretary of state of New York, met Mr. Fairbanks Friday night. Some one remarked to Mr. Fairbanks that he was taking on flesh, and Mr. Koenig answered that he thought s 0, too. ; Mr. Fairbanks smiled happily, and, according to a man in the party, ex- claimed: “Well, if that's so, I guess butter- milk has done the trick."—New York Times, $1.00—The Freeman one year until Jan- uary 131.00. And why not mention Bryan in the group of men that have the reputation for humanity's uplift, at least by in- tent? It is that which gave him his distinction, his fame, his passport among the multitude who were crying, what shall we do to be saved? On the scene appeared Bryan, saying virtual- ly: “I am the way, the truth and the light!” ‘Those that heard him, many of them were inclined to believe him. |, The ability of the Negro manifested ‘in a contest has again administered a shock to those who preach the infer- iority of the Negro race and its utter and hopeless debasement. This time it was an oratorical contest held under the auspices of the State Woman's ‘Temperance Union of California. There were several contestants, four white women, two white men and one col- ored woman. In the presence of an audience that taxed the utmost capac- ity of the Unitarian Church at Sacra- mento these persons strove for the first place and the grand prize. Mrs. Amy Merrill Ray, the only Negro con- testant, was the victor. She recited in a matchless way “The Modern Bel- shazzar,” and when she was done it is said the audience broke forth in ap- plause, which lasted ten minutes, She was awarded the grand diamond medal and graduation diploma over her com- petitors, the prizes being awarded, after impartial decision on the part of the judges, by Prof. Alexander Sher- iff, “superintendent of the public schools. The only way to prevent the Negro from winning his share of the prizes is to rule him out. It seems to be the irony of fate that the Negro of ability should be so inconsiderate of the feelings of his contestants and as if with malice prepense and a fore thought, the average Negro contestant throws to the wind every theory al- leged against his inability and wins many a contest with hands down. This should be an inspiration to our people and we would be less than human if we did not rejoice over such victories. —The Southwestern Christian Advo- enbe “Discrimination against the holder of one faith means retaliatory dis crimination against men of other faiths. ‘The inevitable result of en- tering upon such a practice would be an abandonment of our real freedom ‘of conscience and a reversion to the dreadful conditons of religious dissen- sions, which in so many lands have proved fatal to true liberty, to true re- ligion and to all advance’ in civilza- tton.”—President Roosevelt.

Thanks for the weather if not for the turkey. “John D.” is getting a lot of free advertising at any rate. We of the north would do well to envy our brothers of the south instead of pitying them. A writer who knows says that the difference between home and foreign wines is mostly price. The State of Washington by recent decision of the court will cut out $2.35 coffee, $11.50 steak, and the $16.25 steak with etceteras. ‘Then to live in this most interest- ing “age counts for something. So think of the millions that have come and gone sacrificing to this day. The New Yorkers gave to the Re- publican cause in the late campaign until they felt it. It is needless to say that that State won't figure in the “pie.” The conference of the C. M. E. Chureh will be held in Indianapolis next year. That denomination has on- ly been established two years in this city. In that time it has built a beau- tiful church house and made spiritual progress accordingly. ‘The Negro Knights of Pythias sev- en-story steel building at Gravier and Saratoga is gétting well along to- wards completion, the exterior being now about closed in.

One New York hotel proprietor has gone the limit in catering for patrons with dogs. He has fixed up a dog room with cushions, baskets, and prac- tically a dog kitchen and pantry. The dogs’ quarters are also provided with porcelain bath tubs, showers, and other luxuries that the brutes may ot may not appreciate—The Hotel Mon. thly. Regardless of the Brownsville af. fair, the Negroes hope that Senator Foraker will be returned to the United States Senate. His stand for the Ne- groes has no tlessened his value as a useful member of Congress. If he should fail in re-election owing to his stand it will be nothing short of a political calamity. John Jenkins, the colored contractor, will have to be more careful in_the future. A job that approximates $190, 000 in cost calls for the most careful figuring. It is safd that Jenkins de- pended on others to do most of his calculating. He fell so short of the probable cost as to make the work a losing venture, and in consequence threw up the job. It looks as if he will be out several thousand dollars. The separate educational decision means pretty much what we will have it mean. A principle more or less fic titious has been struck down, making it easier for similar conditions to fol low; it is the most to be said against it. ‘And indeed this would mean noth: ing if the chances were not that proper facilities would not be afforded Ne groes as In the case of the separate car system.

However we cannot trace the influence to this particular case Mr. Carmack, it seems, was exceed ingly aggressive in his personality ‘Added to this was the sting of defeat 4m two instances for great office.

The little colored girls haye been nursing white dolls for all these years and really have learned to look askance at members of their own race that did. not measure up to the “qualities” of their first “de- lights.” Little brown girls are gener- ally pretty enough when washed and fixed up. If these dolls look as nice as some of them, they ought to be enjoyed. Even white dolls are made after the pretty children. ‘The Freeman will be sent to any ad- dress in the United States until January ttre thee bye Gok noe “Have we become so inoculated with prejudice of race that an Ameri. can government, professedly based on the principles of freedom and charged with the protection of all citizens alike, can make distinctions between such citizens in the matter of their associa- tion for innocent purposes simply be- cause of their respective races? Fur- ther, if the lower court be right, then a State may make it a crime for white and colored persons to frequent the same market-places at the same time, or appear in an assemblage of citi: zens convened to consider questions of a public or political nature in which all citizens, without regard to race, equally interested. Many other illus trations might be given to show the mischievous, not to say cruel, charac ter of the statute in question, and how inconsistent such legislation is with the great principle of the equality of citizens before the law.”—Justice Har Jan. After four hour's deliberation the jury in the case of Abe Raymer, al- leged leader of the mob in the race riots last August, tonight returned a verdict of not guilty. He was tried on a charge of malicious destruction of property. When tried several weeks ago for murder in connection with the lynching of W. K. Donnigan, Raymer was found not guilty. The grand jury returned 117 indictments in the riot eases and there has not been a con: viction. Tonight’s verdict is taken to mean a collapse of the riot cases. It remains to see what will follow the very important decision. It was not generally known that the far away State of Washington resorted to such tactics. The Negro is not so plentiful in that country, hence it was thought that he was limited only by his money in the better sense. The places not seen, but the forbidding sign is not enjoyed. Very few colored men can afford to take advantage of high priced cafes, that is, according to their salaries the year round. It will be believed that ff the few only took advantage of places there would be no objection. The fact is, that many fol- low the few making a condition that compels restriction. This thing once begun, extends until lines are drawn everywhere, Careful action will pre- serve most of our liberties. ‘THE STATE OF WASHINGTON ON | “JIM CROW” PLACES. A decision was rendered by Corpor. ation Counsel Thomas yesterday that hereafter hotels, restaurants, cafes ice cream saloons, places where soda water is sold and barber shops in the District of Columbia will be compelled to serve colored persons in the same room and at the same price as white persons. ‘The old plan, it is said, will be re- stored, and undesirable patrons driven away by charging prohibitive prices. If a Negro should float into the fa vorite collation room of upper tendom and merely ask for a cup of coffee he will be politely informed that the beverage will cost him $2.35. It he wants a plain steak he will be notified in advance that the steak will cost $11.50, and onions $16.25. ‘The eee have sustained such tactics. : STROLLING. - “Saturday afternoon walking trips ‘in the forests, fields, hills and valleys about the city’ is a felicitous Chicago ‘enterprise to which nearly five hun dred persons have lent themselves, and which promises to become so pop- ular a movement that the pleasure. seeking pedestrians will be obliged to divide themselves into two or more parties. This plan was put into ex. ecution early last spring and Saturday by Saturday the number of walkers in- creases. Leaders volunteer for each day and make it their business to go over the route personally, beforehand, and to arrange for special trains, trol- ley cars, boats and other details of transportation, Not only have a number of the mem- bers of the faculty of the university, writers, artists and enthusiastic young pedestrians joined the company, but also some interesting foreigners, glad of this opportunity to learn something of the land of their adoption and grate. ful to meet other lovers of fresh air. exercise and beauty.

Some reflection, however, will not be amiss. To most people we may say, it meant what it set out to mean many years ago when the first few sat down together, thanked and eat It is to be doubted whether such an- other occasion has ever come to pass Where thanksgiving was so appropri ate, so fitting. Daily there are victo ries of the besetting things of life and owing to which men to not forget to thank the Author and Finisher o all things good. As great and impor tant as these victories may be they fail of that significance that attaches to the first Thanksgiving when the Torbears of those steady, sturdy mil lions who trace their being back to THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. paceman sacl rede anon air iP s tors ara say in all earnestness, “And we few are left to tell the tale.” Had death did its worse, smiting to a man, it will nto be said that we would have no America. There were other colonies, feeble enough, yet living. The coun- try may have been successfully stocked by them, but we may not be- lieve so successfully stocked. As we view it the other colonists came as the body of the nation, com- ing for various reasons, for possession, to traffic, to get rich; some were sent out as good riddance from their own country; others came as exploiters and freebooters, to conquer and sub- jugate. The Pilgrim Fathers came as the soul of the new country. They came in the name of religious liberty and while we learn that some of their succession became narrow, biggoted, yet the world views the Mayflower company as the precursor of religious liberty, taught in the flight if not al- ways lived up to always in the subse- quent years, Freedom to worship God implied the same right to all others. Religious liberty easily carries with it the idea of civil Hberty. And if one is inclined to doubt the theory in_ the instance, let him ask about New Eng- land. Look at Massachusetts in all history, in the Civil War, and Ver- mont Maine, New Hampshire, even little Rhode Island, the cradle of lib- erty. The fleeing Negro of other days could count on the friends in those States with absolute certainty. Here were the rendezvous of Frederick Douglass, Garrison, Lovejoy, Whittier and the rest of them. After the curtain had closed down on the nation’s tragedy, the Civil War, when again the land “danced with corn and wine” and peace was every- where, the women of New England, the white women, hundreds of them, left their comfortabel homes as their husbands, sons and fathers had done before them, took up the work of fur- thering civilization, humanity and the Kingdom of God on earth. They en- tered fearlessly the fields of desola- tion, as the sun, bidding things “dead” look and live.’ We hear very much talk of the auction blocks being con- verted into school houses. It sounds a little wearisome, yet it was what hap- pened. These evangels of mercy were the daughters of New England in the most part. The work of redemption was in their hands. They threaded the maze, taking on themselves the nation’s duty—of making way for the citizenship of that dense mass of ig- norance that fell from the womb of war. So after all it is something to be of good ancestry. Heredity as an influ- ence claims a great share of attention in thése days. ‘Thinkers, however, are not agreed that it plays the part that is claimed for it by some. But it mat- ters very little. If it is not heredity the nit is environment, heredity’s close associate if not its very self. It answers, as we view it, the same pur- pose. Environment ‘is contagious whatever we may think of heredity. Those women were filled with the do- ings of their forbears, doubtless; the theme was recurrent with the years, and is yet—religious liberty and other- wise. Had the decimating work of death completely annihilated them the stirring part they played in history would not have been, and to be specu- lative, it is to be doubted whether liberty would have come so soon to the Negroes but for the agitation which was most intense in that sec- tion. It is certain enough to those having knowledge of the events of that day that the day of liberation would have been postponed. In the language of Homer the day had to come, “the day decreed by fate,” but without Harriet Beecher Stowe, Wen- dell Phillips, Lovejoy, Garrison, Sum- ner, Whittier, Douglass, it would not have come nearly so soon. Only one voice, as that of John of the Wilder- ness in Biblical days, came from the West, at least the one distinct voice above all others, that of old John Brown of Osawatomie. The nation is none the less apprised as a whole of the powers of the New Englanders who backed up their faith and belief by works. It is impressed on the general conscience, and while the specific reasons of the regard may not always be readily recounted, yet in toto they are know nand felt. ‘It is no wonder the first Thanksgiving stands out so boldly—a nation’s fate to some extent was wrapped up in the few that lingered round the festal board.

The team Peat & Anderson are cleaning up with their singing, dancing and talking act. Prof. Damon's musical act can't be beat. Zeb. Matthew, our tenor, is better than ever. Peat sends regards to Arthur L. Prince and the rest of the Dixies, also to Fisher & Fisher. Would like to hear from Tom Briggs. Senior Lee sends regards to Tobias & Crump of the Florida Blossoms.

This house is packing them to the doors every night and our stage manager, Willie Perry, better known as "Long Island," and female and female minstrels, among our headliners is Henry Hund, that flame-defying demon in his astounding fire-eating act, the king of all fire kings, with the phenomenal baritone voice, who takes two and three encores nightly featuring "Down in Jungle Town, and Baritone," with the phenomenal baritone with her buck dancing. Next we have Miss Trixie, that charming little singing and dancing soubrette. Our old favorite is still with us, Jannie Mulcahy, and our impassioner singing "In Monkey Lake." Then we have Little Datson, the champion boy buck and wing dancer.

Last but not least, John Moore, tragedian, singing and dancing comedian and a round performer in New Orleans Minstrels and all friends in and out of the profession. DEATH OF A. M. J. WILLISON AT NEW ORLEANS. Amy Willison departed this life Oct. 23, 1908, and was laid to rest Oct. 25. Six many friends mourn his loss and his memory, and his loss greatly. Their beautiful home was crowded with friends and a last fond look was taken and they bade him a sad goodbye by the door. "I was a good Moe of Thee." Then the funeral march began from the home to the beautiful lit- the church of which he was a member since boyhood. The choir sung "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" as they entered the church. Bro Wilson was worthy vice president, but Mr. Trumps Club, one of the best clubs in the city, which is composed of trained and cultured performers, Elder Chinn conducted the ceremony. The sermon was a soul-stirring one on the way. We had an interment. The sermon was not a dry eye in the church. The club sung "Take Tender Care of Him," led by Laura S. Logan. kinds of talk, but things were soon adjusted. It is settled that Dehoney Gallants will form clubs of six sets and take charge of academy every night next week. Dudley has 6 wives in the well following in this city and they will go any place to see him. Business was very good along the path last week. The Pekin and the Grand towered so high over the others the week that they are hardly worth mentioning. THE PEKIN offers a fair bill consider- The following lines were written in his memory by Laura S. Logan: Weep no more, dear mother; Weep no more, dear mother; Close the piano, lay my lute far away, For I never more shall play again. Weep no more, dear mother, Hold me close to you, Father; Love you upon Your breast. Hark! I hear the angels singing Hosanna to the Highest. Hush! I hear the angels say, Enough! I give to thee; Clouds, winds and stars, Their task fulfilled. A home in heaven I prepared for thee. HIGH PRICES UNPOPULAR. It now appears that the Williams & Walker management has made a serious mistake in taking the attraction out of the theater, but putting it the higher priced theatres. It would seem that the bridge they fought so hard to build by which they could ford the river or cross the river, or survive the life out of the show in the crash. The Schuberts had the booking the team so ardently desired. Well, they got it, but it is reported that they would have been better off. The show is said to be several thousand dollars "to the bad" o' the season. The New York Dramatic Society has recently engaged the show at the Duquesne Theatre (one of the high priced houses in Pittsburg) has the following to say. "The clever comedians, Williams and Walker, at this house last week certainly proved unprofitable. None of the race cars allowed to occupy the in the court, the race was this part of the house was almost vacant. Then, too, the high scale of prices was detrimental, as heretofore they have been This, it will be seen, is indeed a plaintive tale, and seemingly bodes ill for the future of the team through no direct fault of their own. The white people are the most likely to be in their midst on the lower floor of these $1.50 houses even if the colored people were able or inclined to separate themselves from that amount to see a show. It is an indisputable fact that a colored show comes more than one-half from the ranks of their own people. Whether or not any attraction can afford to offend or subject to humiliation one-half of its clientele in a counting effort is a colored problem that will solve itself as the season wears on. Capacity business in the popular priced houses, it does seem, as compared to crowded balconies and galleries (and empty lower floors) in the high priced houses is materially better proposition for all parties concerned. Mr. Skinner Harris. Born June 6, 1867. Died November 8, 1908. Death, the relentless reaper, once again stalks abroad in the land in his relentless grasps has removed from our midst the treacherous world of the comedian, Skinner Harris, who has answered his last call before the final curtain on November 8 in the city of Oakland, where he will be the City of Houston, June 6, 1867, the history of Skinner Harris is closely identified with the progress of minstrels in the city. He was the first eminent artist his aptitude for the theatrical stage led him into the ranks of the professional element at an early date. His first engagement was with R.T. Wright's Nashville Student, then followed engagements with Mahara Minstrels, Gideon Minstrels, Dudley & Harriet Minstrels, and in all of which productions, famous minstrel organizations of the day, Mr. Harris was pre-eminently featured. He was united in marriage to Miss Ena Fracton in Pittsburgh, Pa., who is the only surviving rela- [Name] SKINNER HARRIS. tive. Mr. Harris had passed the greater part of his life in the sho wbusiness, 23 fruilful years of his eventful life he was associated with the various prominent organizations above mentioned. Since the year 1966 he was the bright particular stars of the Great Fer-Don Medicine Co. and during that time has been a leading comedian of the Pacific Coast. Skinner Harris was the leading comedians with the Great Fer-Don Medicine Co. when the silent film "The Fear of the Square" quarter of a century he has been prominently before the amusement loving public, where as a famous end man, inter-mental comedian he had gained an enviable reputation. As an author of musical compositions he has been more than ordinarily successful, for his *Georgia Meeting* has met his friend and friend, who has away in Oakland on November 8 this year and laid to eternal rest in Mountain View Cemetery by loving hands, he who has been the most esteemed of many theatrical们 of San Francisco and Oakland, who paid the last token of esteem and friendship. The beautiful floral emblems that graced the balcony of the house of his loftship and the appreciation of the man as a friend and his ability in his chosen profession; whose span of life had ever been so long, have given the cares from others and to bring happiness to the downhearted and depressed through his imitative wit and his contiguous good humor, which will ever be an indestructible monument to his memory. By JULI JONES, JR. Gay Dehoney is a pleasant place for a stroll, regardless of the weather. The house is comfortable, all Chicago to stroll are the sights, all and all nations. It costs only, 50 cents to see all the sights in one night. The houses are trying themselves at a big cost. The house in Washington went the limit last week their little house by sending out automobiles, banner boys with red fire and all that, like a real political campaign. They got results, as the house was packed at every performance. ample pleasant news struck the Stroll that the Real Set would the South Side. This news started all kinds of talk, but things were soon adjusted. It is settled that Dehoney Galley had been charged with the charge of th acedemay every night next week. Dudley has a "dyd-in-the-woll" phone number, and you can any place to see him. Business was very good along the path last week. The Pekin and the Grand towered so high over the bank that they are hardly worth mentioning. THE PEKIN offers a fair bill considering the one of last week. It also has its drawbacks. The stage crew, who do not seem to be the hang up the big sign or not be the fastest man, alone will make the best show drag and it takes a lot of interest out of the acts. Vaudeville audiences are different from the big plays. The vaudeville audiences are very nervous and want things to go with a snap and ginger in every department; the big plays are more or less ordered gents, I guess from Georgia or the woods—anyway, they were five years behind the times. The Pekin should look on this course if it is dangerous spot along the route, this is not hard and it is very hard to spring anything on the Pekin stage that isn't well along in age. These young men made up their own hit and added a wild hear to the act. Next on the bill was a bear and monkey key. It was not an act but only an act of the monkey key and the bears. One of the bears got it into its head to put on one of the real bear acts and came near putting the short show on the stage by Miss Lottie Grady in a short singing turn. This young lady is very popular. Ser opening song was accompanied with a chorus and the song were beautiful and the song was a bad one, but Miss Grady received a rousing encore and took a curtain bow with an instrument and a percussionist appeared in a serpentine or fire organ which was very good, for he brought the house down when he pulled off his wig. The show taken as a whole was very good and the orchestra was one of its drawbacks. THE WASSINGTON. The bank house has a holdover in the person of Sam Ham Good in other people's jokes. Sam swears that he won't hand out anything new as good stuff. Sam's good stuff. The five Creele girls seem to improve with every performance; they should put in an alto singer to balance the chorus. They sing like a band of coromets that this house is to have a new production soon; book, music and stage by Miss Willie Ingles, called "Buster Brown Blew The Chorus" in honey." Look out, everybody. This Eighth Regiment, a full band, has been engaged to balance the chorus. The other houses along the Stroll are depending on the turnaway from the above house to fill The city is filled with acts from the big wheel, as this is an off week. Billy Johnson, Wise Milton and Matt Marshall of the Inkings are are here. This act was tried on the Wood Hound, but it was too much for them so it has been forwarded on East to the Bull Dogs. It is said that the act is so fast it is not worth the big wheel wants, Billy Earth, the quick monologue and dancing comedian, is very dangerously ill with pneumonia. Bulah White Ray of Elmore & Ray is reported to be doing by saying that she felt a relapse from the stage fright she had at the Haymarket. She said if it did return it would find her in bed waiting for it; also that footlight dizziness is common. News has it that the show that Williams & Stevens are heading, "The Governor of Dixie and the Coons," will open at one of the big houses right here in the童乐ers, save the king. The whole community send up a prayer to save all. AFTERTHOUGHTS OF COLE AND JOHNSONS "NEW MOON." By DOROTHY. Pearl Taylor, the "light haired doll" seems to be a little pre-occupied this season. "Steady" company perhaps accounts for it. Belle Morgan's ever watchful eye is on the alert in the care of the wardrobe, and is as indispensable as the stars themselves. The grand old man, Sam Lucas, has a very well appearing daughter, Miss Lucas, who is one of the Ada Girls and is a talented musician. Marie Young who takes the part of Waneta, the Indian maiden so well, is much a real Indian. She was formerly with the Williams and Walker company. Bessie liver Brown likes to work all the time. She can do almost anything from a "mosquito to an elephant" and is the wife of the handsome Hoosler tenor, Frank Fowler Brown. Daisy Brown is filling her third season with the company very acceptably. It is also her third season in the business. Her success is due no doubt to her education to work and charming personality. It was very much regretted that Mrs. Anna Cooke Pankey was unable to be with us on account of sudden illness at St. Louis. Mrs. Pankey is quite a favorite here and her admirers will hear her in her new song the "Bleeding Moon." Elizabeth Williams anud Mollie Dill爽爽 the "Mollie sheets" in the company, giving out good wholesome advice that can be depended upon, for they are authority for everything. They have been successful and experience is ever best teacher. The costumes are beautiful, but some of the forms could be improved upon. Nature is not kind to everybody, in bestowing features are perplexing. Symmetricals can be bought at reasonable prices and lessons "how to put them on." Abbie Mitchell (Minnehaha) was last seen here with the "Rufus Rastus" company and won many hearts and her appearance in this show, with surroundings so suitable to her, riskled the need to give way to one heart (the Doctor they don't expect) in reality. Leora Marshall, although claimed by Louisville, belongs in a way to Indianapolis. Last season she was Kappa and then Jumpers, then joins Johnson here, trung following on the next train. The poor little dear was so worried about a clean shirt waist. However the trunk came at last and she was happy.

But since she books, so prosperous she has built of her continued handsome salary, they feel that that must accept the situation for she is a "stunner" in the black costume and red hosiery. The Gibson Girls, Mayme Butter, Lulu Coleman, Bessie Smits, Bessie Tribble, Tillie Smith and Blanche Deas who "beat it down to the knowledge factory" make her a star. Blanche Deas are new acquisitions. Miss Smith was seen with the Smart Set at one time, and Miss Deas is making her first time behind the footlights. he is a native of Jacksonville, Fln. About twenty-four women are essential to the success of the "Red Moon" which shone so beautifully at Indianapolis last summer. Other than the success of the "Regiment" are seen, he chorus girls generally speaking come up to the standard and made a splendid impression on and off the stage. From the fact that she is a chosen such a decided success is proof positive that the women held their part well in hand. DEATH OF MRS. MAMIE THOMAS. Mrs. Mamie Thomas of the Thomas Company died at the home of her mother at Rockwell Springs, N. J., on the 14th of October, 2015, at the home of her mother with the Stetson W. T. C. Rockwell's Sunny South and late of P. G. Lowery's Nashville Students, also with Lowery's concern for the children in Babcock and Wallace Schools. Mrs. Thomas was considered a very clever performer in her line. Her mother, Mary B. Smith, claims the distinction of being first woman to serve with the children of national offices. The funeral services were held at Bethel Church and was largely attended by her many friends and acquaintances. Some very pretty flowers were given by her most intimate friends. Interment at Woodown Cemetery on the 16th. COLE AND JOHNSON AT AVENUE THEATER, LOUISVILLE. he Cole and Johnson company is without peers on the American stage today and the aggregation does more of what the egro can do in higher departments of musical comedy than any show we have seen. "The Red Moon" is quite steep for a female actress, so far as dramatic coherency is concerned. The theme is more finely drawn and clear cut and the action is made to revolve around the grand central idea of a little love story. Under the personal direction of Mr. James Reese Europe, the chorus is full, strong, sweet and anthemic, and she comes outside a grand opera. Miss Abbie Mitchell, the prima donna is graceful, artistic and charming and her work is by far the best of any female actress on a stage. She hits a hit here last season, singing the "Little Brown Bear" comes in for her share of praise by crowds that remembered her singing by Mrs. Pankey who is ill in St. Louis, and she was exceptionally clever both in singing and acting. As for real dramatic acting Mr. Tolbert was finalist in the evidence of Mrs. Negro can do in the dramatic field. His portrayal of the Big Indian Chief is a character is a well suited to him and recites his lines with perseverance. For Brown, another favorite of this city goes the limit in tenor singing as he stands on the high mountain of the Land of Setting Sun as Miss Tessie, who was a woman-woman, loves makes good and causes the gallery gods and the whole audience to laugh a plenty. edgar Connor as "Sambo Simmons" comes front to center in his late song, "Hit him his late song," "Sambo The Pankey" as an educated brave looks good and acts well and sings another new song this season "On the Road to Montana" of other well known characters are Mesdames Mollie Dill, Elizabeth Williams, Miss Marie Young, Bell Morgan, Daisy Daisy, Wesley Jenkins, Benny Jones and "Daddy Lucas." The other very clever members of the company are Misses Mayme Butler, Lula Coleman, Bessie Simmons, Bessie Simmons, Bessie Daisy, Daisy Blena, Marshall, Marion Potter, Lottie Blena, Bessie --- W. E.

SHEEP AND BAD DOGS. yery bad dog, a greater curse than a sheep-stealing ‘man, because the latter takes only what "he can conveniently nulize for present wants, while the for- mer, wolf-like, kills and maims for gore. Dogs, like their owners, come under two categories—the useful and the useless. It is, however, not so often the fault of the dog that he is not useful as it is that of his. master's training. ‘The owner of a useless cur is generaily a man of indif- ferent character and standing. A ‘dog trained for useful pursuits is usually a good dog so long as he is kept at work and under restraint. ‘The average dog is of ery, active ‘mind and temperament and if he is not studying good his mind turns to evil with the result that he be- comes a bad dog. But the dog question ike all other questions should not be de- bated on a one-sided issue. Because the useless cur maims one's flock, that Is no Just reason why the whole canine family Should be condemned any more than con- demnation of the entire human family should follow the iniquities of an indi- Hidual, The well-trained shepherd “dog hat is Kept, in steady, employment an ut of bad company, Is the shepherd's best helpmate and friend.

WHEN TO WATER THE HORSE. ate we Ws ccuver OF tbe ‘Colorado: Ag: ricultural College gives this advice : ‘A horse should be watered before feed- ing, and never be given a large quantity of ‘water after a meal, for the. simple reason that the water will wash the food Out of the stomach before stomach diges- tion “has taken palce and the food will hot be well prepared for absorption; ahd besides it is sometimes’ the cause of colic. There is a popular idea that a warm horse should not be allowed to drink, and, unlike a great many other popular ideas, there Is a little truth in it. “Tf you water a warm horse in the ordinary way, letting him drink all that che “will, "you are likely to have @ foundered horse’ on your hands, This is, especially, 50, if, at the time, the horse is fatigued. Never- theless. it is always safe to allow him to drink from six to ten swallows, no matter how warm he is. If this be given on Boing into the stable and he be allowed to Stand and eat hay for an hour and ts then offered water, he will not drink nearly so much ashe would if none be given before. ‘The danger is not in the first swallow, as we often hear it asserted, but in. thé excessive quantities he will drink If not restrained. ‘The most dangerous time. to give a horse a full draft is when he has cooled down from fatiguing work and has partaken of a meal. John Splan, the great trainer, says: “As to water, T think that a horse should have all that he wants at all times. A man says, ‘Why, will you_give your horse water betore/a' race? Yes: before the race, in the race, and after the race, and any ‘other time that he wants to drink.” When I say give your horse all the wa- ter he wants before the race, I do not mean you shall tie him in a warm stall where he cannot get a drink for five or six hours on a hot day, and then take him to the pump and give him all that he wants. What I mean is to give him water often and, “in that way, he will take only a small quantity at a time. ‘After long, continuous exertion the sys- tem is greatly depleted of fluld. Nature calls for its replacement, and this is the cause of a thirst which Is so intense that, if the animal is not restrained at this time. he may drink much more than he needs. ‘The general custom, almost universally followed, of giving the morning meal be- fore water, is not very objectionable, el- ther theoretically or practically. At ‘this time there is no depletion of fluid, and consequently the horse 1s not very thirsty, oes not drink rapidly or excessively, and apparently. very. little ever results ‘from this method, However, the writer much prefers that the horse should have an opportunity to drink before the morning meal. Personally, I much. prefer keeping hor- ses, both summer and winter, in an open shed, with a large water tank in the yard to tying them to the stall én a barn: ‘This brings us to the arrangement of FATTENING TURKEYS.

Rear hate oe keds Bo” Gee caters te see eaters guided creatures-who is not to be taken seriously on a subject. ‘That he is crazy is generally accepted throughout the country, and nobody pays any attention to him. In poli- tics he is a Democrat, having inherited his father’s politics. He is a meddler when he dips into Republican affairs, and should be promptly considered along with those who can neither help ‘nor injure the cause they espouse. ‘Wm. Monroe Trotter, better known in the East as Wide-Mouth Trotter, first attracted the attention of his class at Harvard as an “oddity” or a monomaniac on the race problem, by refusing to write or declaim on the life and character of Fred Douglass when assigned to him, upon the ground that the teachers assigned him Fred Doug- lass just because he, Trotter, was a Negro. It was the rule at Harvard that boys be given the life and char- acter of illustrious Americans to write upon, and it was thought that Trot- ter would be delighted to have a mem- ber of his race so honored, and he was accordingly assigned Mr. Doug- lass Trotter flatly refused to write his biography, because a white char- acter was not assigned him, upon the ground that the color line had beén drawn. “He was first heard from after he got out of school by his violent and fanatical ravings against everybody who did not believe that there ought to be intermarriages between the races, and that every Negro ought to graduate from Harvard.”—Exchange. The above comment on Mr. Trotter, we think, rather cruel. It may be held just cruel in us in giving it further publicity. But that Frederick Doug- lass incident—we can't quite get over it, Never heard of it before, and, in- deed, it has put Mr. Trotter in a new light, with us, at any rate. It stands to reason that the subject was as- signed Trotter because he was also a Negro. Never saw Mr. Trotter, but don’t think he would be mistaken for a white man, consequently he was not sailing under false colors. Perhaps he was trying to obliterate the race line all by himself, virtually saying, thus far you shall come but no further. And in blind zeal to his faith threw down that shaggy Numidian lion whose likes will not be soon seen again. And just to think where Frederick Douglass’ mame was mentioned! In that most revered seat of learning, whose very name sends a sort of thrill through the aspirant for information, where one that has been denied the classic shade a sense of perpetuated disap- pointment feels, vieing with the total world in the quality of its output and wealth of resources. Had many Ne- groes been in Trotter's place they would have counted the mention of the name there almost a personal triumph, in that his kinsman of so humble a race should come in for such distin- guished consideration. In the thing of pure statesmanship, lofty and dig- nified of sentiment—a world’s force— was our Douglass measuring up well with the great of the age. Indeed, when the great apostles of liberty are mentioned the name of Douglass may go well to the fore. And after all the greatest are those who succeed great- ly in alleviating human distresses. Moses and Lincoln are among the greatest, and Douglass was in their class. Just think of all this, Mr. Trot- ter. How could you have so other- wise? If it had been to show Mr. Trotter that he was a Negro, then the oppor- tunity was richer in that he might have shown that there was a Trotter that was. He could have made a name for himself while singing the glories of that first Negro of all the world. Think of Ireland, the sons of Ireland, forgetting a distinguished son of the soil wherever. they are; or Britain's sons; France, Germany, Italy or those of those lands that have made history rich in the content. Oh, most cruel, Mr. Trotter! It’s a little late in taking Mr. Trot- ter to task, much like the individual who had just discovered the part which the Jews played in the perse- eution of Jesus Christ. He felt it his duty to belabor the first Jew he met. Mr. Trotter is older now. Perhaps his school record should not be drawn on him in these latter days. We note that his recent editorials are not so full of Thucydides and that immortal set that groveled here below. Booker T. Washington is yet his social and civil Antipodes, and he does not for- get to star him right along. As for his Roosevelt and Taft opposition, noth- ing like it has ever been seen. Taking him otherwise than his extreme views, he seems mortal enough.’ Judging him by his views and opinions of men and affairs, one would think that Olympus was his home—a lineal descendent of the well-known incumbent of other days. . THE NEGRO AND ‘THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE SOUTH. To the Colored People of the South: ‘This is the third time that I have had the privilege of speaking to you in this way upon what I consider the most vital subject, outside of religion, that concerns our race. Action upon it can not be delayed or omitted without the most serious consequence to this and succeeding generations. I refer to the education of our colored children in the country districts where from 80 to 85 per cent. of our people live. In a recent trip through the state of Maryland, I was surprised fo find, for example, that there were rural com- munities almost within the sight of the dome of the capitol of the nation where the public schools for our race are only open from two to two and one-half months during the year. Taking the Southern states as a whole, it is safe to say that the coun- try schools are not in session at pres- ent longer than four or five months out of the twelve. When we add to this condition, in most cases, poor schoolhouses or no school-houses, little apparatus and poorly paid teachers, it is clear that this is a condition de- manding the immediate and constant attention of parents, ministers, teach- ers and leaders of every description. The*facilities for public school educa- tion in the cities and larger towns are good for the most part, but I know of counties where Negro teachers are paid not more than $15 per month, and out of this they must board them- selves. This means practically no school, for a teacher worth more can not live on such a wage. In order to impress our people with the truth of how far we are behind and with what remains to be done, let me make a comparison: Two years ago each child in the state of Massachu. setts had spent upon him as per school population, in the free public schools $26.42, while taking the South as a whole for the same year each Negro child had spent upon him as per school populatoin from 50 cents to $1.50 in the different Southern states. At such rate does any one belleve that we can educate our children? Ignorance and inefficiency will increase, lawlessness and inefficiency will increase. Some- thing must be done and that speedily. What is the remedy? Let parents and leaders get into close and sympa- thetic touch with the local and county and state officials and make known the condition and the needs of the chil- dren. If one effort does not succeed, make another and another. You, your. selves, must make your wants known, no one can or will do it for you. We must, in a firm, conservative and yet polite manner, insost upon our proper share of the public school funds. Parents must bear in mind that {f they get all the public school fund that is justly due their children, this alone will not provide for the education of their children. Even the white chil- dren in the South are not receiving enough ‘money to. properly educate them from the public fund. In some way each community must organize effort to tax itself and keep taxing it- self until each community has a good ;chool house and a school term lasting from six to eight months in each year, taught by qualified teachers. I speak to our people now on this subject that they may begin organiz- ing and that they may raise money this fall, while our people have it. Now is the time to act. Do not delay an- other day. This is the season of the year when our people are handling con- siderable cash as a result of the sale ‘of their crops. This is also the sea- ‘son of the year when they are tempted ‘to throw away thousands of dollars in unwise directions. I urge you to use some of the money this fall that you would throw away in providing for the proper education of your children. We must, as a race, learn to make sacri- fices. It is better that we go without proper clothing, that we go hungry, live on bread and water, even, if nec- essary, rather than neglect the educa- tion of our children. Let each person, teacher or minister, who reads these words, begin at once and stir the peo- ple to action in his immediate county. Booker T.

NOTES OF FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS. BY HARRY W. JACKSON. Jack Hanson believes that Young Loughrey can stop Jack Blackburn if the latter weighed 134 pounds at 6 o'clock. Harry Lewis and Willie Lewis fight twelve rounds in New Haven December 14. Sam Fitzpatrick says Johnson is going to win from Burns, but it will be noticed that the betting public does not think much of Sam's ability as a prophet. In the opinion of Jim Corbett, a fighter's best age is between twenty-five and thirty, and he thinks that by keeping in good condition the glove man can still be good at thirty-five. Upon his arrival in Australia, Jack Johnson lost no time to start active training. He is confident that he will put Tommy Burns away. Jack Blackburn has been offered a date with Tony Caponl, the Chicago fighter, by one of the Pittsburg clubs. Frankie Nell, the California featherweight, has been matched to fight Owen Moran at Boston, December 1. Young Otto has sailed for Europe. He wants to meet Spike Robson or Johnny Summers. Otto is one of the hardest hitters in the country. Bat Nelson says that the only fighters who ever hurt him were Martin Canole, Young Corbett and Joe Gans. That's tough on the others. Hughey McGovern has retired from the ring. He has been unable to get over an injured shoulder, which becomes dislocated in every fight in which he engages. Jimmy Welsh is going to England again for just one more wack at Digger Stanley. Digger and Jimmy have broken about even in several bouts to date. Jimmy Potts and Jack Dougherty have an engagement at New Orleans in the near future. They should make a beautiful, full battle, of neat and well-scienced --- Boe Unholt has sailed for Australia with his bride and $10,000, which he picked up in his fights during the past year. Unholt will tour the Antipodes and then return to America in May. Pittsburg is having six-round fights by the dozen. Most of them enlist boys never heard of, but doublesl as popular in Pittsburgh. The coach is great that if he is matched with either man several clubs will bid for the battle. Cyclone Thompson is itching for a fight with Nelson or Packey McFarland, and the coach is great that if he is matched with either man several clubs will bid for the battle. Charley Griffin is the Australian feather-woman a brother in Australia who is a middleweight boxer of great renown in his own country, and the little chap has sent for him to come to this country, as he believes that the big Griffin will be a surprise to the American pugilist. Philadelphia Jack O'Brien] has relinquished the management of the Ontario A. C. of Philadelphia, he having sold out tickets to George Holland, who ran the old Nipmuck A. C. of that city many years ago. --- It has been pretty well decided now that because he was so weak in making 133 pounds for George Memisic, a short time before he was able to decline to do any such figure. It is said 145 suits him a great deal better. Al Fellows, the little Chicago boxer who left that city some weeks ago to join Harry Lombard, the lightweight, in an Australian invasion, has decided, since the 1980s, to call off the trip. Al has decided to settle in Seattle, where he has found a good job. The Jeffries Athletic Club at Vernon, Cal., has virtually closed the negotiations on five and one match between Jim Barry and the Bulldogs, the two heavyweights, to be fought about Christmas. If Al Kaufman lights Barry and wants him to be matched, he not much outside of that right, but Jim can use his right to perfection and slings it faster than Al works his. Don't be surprised to hear of Kaufman being to the fight of Kaufman. Barry will be a tough one to get past. HOW PUGILISTS ACT BEFORE A BATTLE Humored. Prize fighters, who are obliged to have as much or more courage than great generals, are affected in different ways before important glove contests which demand from personal generals a thick-looking, clever generalship and remarkable physical endurance. Some of the best known generals, like Napoleon, the French general, the ruler while others, like General Grunt, indulged in peaceful sleep before the time arrived for hostilities to begin. Big Jeffrey, the night he the heavy-weary man, wore the world from Bob Fitzsimmons, at Coney Island, was resting for a couple of hours at a roadhouse near by before entering the arena. Jeffrey's trainer, man, sat at the bedside in a fairly light, watching over the brookmaker like a mother over a sick child. He would take a child "mom" said Delaney in a low voice. "I will freshen you up, my boy." But the only reply from the burly pugilist was a deep grunt. Jeff rolled and tossed from side to side for an hour, feeling to hold a conversation with his faithful trainer. The big fellow was trained down pretty fine and was suffering considerably from thirst, as "Come, Jim, let's take a stroll," said Delainey finally, when he found that his man was sitting on the side of him himself to a sitting position on the side of the bed and buried his face in his huge hands. He seemed to be lost in thought as he looked down at him, going to the electric chair than one who was about to win the highest pugilistic honors in the world. "GOT THER." "Come, Jim, let's be off!" exclaimed Delainey as he held Jeff's coat for him and stood a short, heavy walking stick in the big room. He were the best and Delainey passed slowly out of the roadhouse and were soon lost in the darkness. "Few close friends awaited the fighter's return. He came back with his trainer in the same soiled mood and passed his trainers. But they were not there. Although he looked so tired and strong, his demeanor did not inspire his admirers with any great amount of confidence, and when he entered the ring he looked gloomily. In fact, the stolid expression on his face changed until he had put Fitz down for the change until he had put Fitz down for the change features were lit up with a wicked smile. John L. Sullivan before his battles was the location of confidence and coolness. He always knows that he can knock out any man on earth. Even the night at the barroom at the hands of Jim Corbett Sullivan could be loud as a peacock and as brave as a lion. SING BEFORE FIGHTING CORBETT. He was in particulary the club he drew to the Olympic Club with Charles Johnson, his backer, and Jack Sullivan, one of his seconds. Sullivan and his life sang old Irish ballads the way to the heart, the jokes as they waited in the dressing room. How long do you think the fight will last? Johnson gravely, "Oh I will kill you!" he head off in half a dozen rounds, replied John L. in his deep voice. He also sure, John "sold Johnson," "Remember Corbett is a mighty clever follow, and he may fool you." He no fear Charley. It will be short and the dent in my life. Get all the bets on me you can." thundered Sullivan as he stood up and answered the call to the ring. Mike Johnson. HURRAH, MOTHER! WE SCORED AGAINST THE VARSITY TODAY! THE SCRUB TEAM trained, coached and seconded Corbett for this fight, declared afterward that Gentleman him was the most nervous, restless and agile, but Corbett could not sleep well for many nights before the battle and was obliged to have the constant attendance of a week previous, so great was his nervousness. PAPKE'S GOOD HUMOR. One of the most business-like fighters, who does not exhibit any particular condition, was the new middleweight champion. He is always in good humor before a mill and seems to enjoy the game hugely. He encounters the struggle before the struggle, and enjoys a good laugh at some of the jests and jibes that pass. Setting Nelson, the lightweight champion, always appears to be overaxious before a fight. He longs for the tap of the gong that calls him before his antagonist. Nelson is a rugged young man who sleeps in the leap into the ring the picture of confidence and self-esteem. Nelson is aggressive at all times and fears no man at his prey. Probably the most anxious fighter ever seen in a ring was that celebrated and querently named person, "Mysterious Billy" Smith. Just before a battle he suggested in a cage ready to be let go at his prey. Smith, however, did not always win, for he was naturally a rough-and-tumble fighter, and the restraint under Queens' rules was as in accordance with his game plan. On night eight, by Joe Walcott after a slashing battle, Smith was some time coming back to life. The crowd had left the building and nearly all of the crowd turned out when the mysterious one awoke a bee line. WANTS TO RENEW FIGHT. "So that black fiend put me, did he?" said Smith to his seconds, who stood in front of the crowd with a start. With a wild rush Smith made a bee line for Walcott's dressing room, full of fight still. You may have knocked me out, recalled Crazy Owl, with lick your right eye." It took a dozen men to hold Smith while Walcott, half clad, made his escape. Some of the greatest fighters ever seen in the game have followed always quiet and thoughtful. Belonging to this type are Jack McAuliffe, Kid McCoy, Jim Hall, Packey McFarland, Leach Cross, Abe Attell, Willie Lewis and many others who have proved their worth in the game. Tommy Burns, the present heavyweight champion, so-called, is cool, clear-headed and absolutely fearless when he faces an opponent. Burns knows how to make his own matches. By dodging big Jack Johnson for two years before agreeing to meet the big Negro in Australia, Burns has succeeded in causing Johnson many sleepless nights, and he knows more before the big man shake hands in what should be a decidedly interesting mall. FOOTBALL HERO A DEMIGOD. Football, baseball and American sports in general have become a national disease in the opinion of Otto C. Schneider, president of the American Football Association. The head of the school board gave an expression of his views in the Tribune in no uncertain terms. The immediate occasion of his remarks was Superintendent of the Chicago school district's cultural culture work done in the Chicago high schools—an attack which the president, with characteristic vigor, called not only unjust, but unwarranted. The system of "sports" in the high schools, the system of "athletics" but educational. Indeed, football and baseball, as they are played, have reached a point GLAD TIDINGS FR where they have become a disease in our schools. The games make heroes out of a dozen boys and the seats in the amphitheatre. The youngsters that do the playing are taught that they are better men than their fellows and that they manage the seats without nothings; they are urged to do by hook or crook; they are exalted like demigods, what do you see? Twenty-two men in the center of the field doing the playing and thousands occupying the seats in the bleachers and betting on the outcome. Hope is a different thing. I have seen thousands at one festival going through their gymnasium exercises simply for the love of them, the love of the important thing about the whole affair." JOE GANS WOULD LIKE TO MEET SOME OF THE YOUNGSTERS. NEW YORK.—I was awfully sorry to see that you thought I was back with Herford again, said, "My old master, I am not a man to mistake in all of my dealings and never intend to have Herford do my business. Do think McFarland has a chance with Nelson in court in a thousand years. McFarland is no hitter, and where does he figure to win? Nelson is the wonder of this age, just as I am, just as McGovern was wonderful, and just as Jeffries was invincible. "This fellow Nelson is so far above all you know, and of his weight that you cannot see them. "I ought to know, if any one does, and he gave me the beating of my life. Yes, he did, and he said that but it doesn't look to me as though they want my game. Murphy wanted me to do 133 pounds ringside, but that was foolish. I see that McFarland said that light in a Well. I'll be tickled to death to sign up." JOE GANS WANTS MATCH WITH PACKEY M'FARLAND "Old Master" Sees Fight at Philadelphia—Says He Can Come Back. NEW YORK, November 21—When they were introducing the lightweights and scores of challengers at Philadelphia, Wednesday night, Joe Carpenter and great ovation, "The old master" was called upon for a speech, and he announced that he was in town simply to see the entertainment in theaters. He gave the impression that he was out of the game for good. Yesterday he announced that after seeing McFarlane and Murphy step that he couldn't resist the temptation to throw his fighting cap at "To my mind it wasn't much of an exhibition by boys who claim to be topnotchers," said Joe. "Get me a match with either of them, with Cross, Keyes or any boy in that class. I am positive that THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER I can beat the whole lot of them in six rounds or more." BURNS-JOHNSON TANGLE The more they write from Australia the more they learn the terms and conditions of that Burns-Johnson fight. Sam Fitzpatrick, in a recent letter, calls it a "fight to a finish," when most of the other informants say that the grand old laws of Kangaroo land are sent to pounds and cents of this kind. Pity that fight isn't going to be close enough to go through the acid test. Looks like a gift brick the more one thinks about it.

Sumner will play Franklin at St. Charles next Saturday and travel to Louisville for Thanksgiving. WALCOTT BEATS ROBINSON EASTON, Pa.—Joe Walcott, ex-welterweight champion, put it all over Jack Robinson, the Chicago middleweight, in a fast ten-round bout before the Eason Cup on Wednesday. Young Jack Hanlon of Philadelphia gave the game here a black eye by attacking Walcott, hitting Walcott with a bottle at the end of the contest. After the disturbance was over, Pat Galvin, manager of Walcott, trounced Hanlon. $1.00—The Freeman one year until January. 1—$1.00. BAT'S HAND STILL A WORRY. Nelson Turns Attention to Building. CHICAGO, November 18—None of the lightweightis to be have a chance at Battling Nelson in the near future. The champion tumbles to the floor, and that his sojourn in the East had been pleasant, but that his hand, which he broke in the bout with Gans, is not healing as rapidly as he expected. He is now in the second round to meet McFarland New Year's day, as he states that he is not signed with any of his divisions. Nelson is building some new houses at Hgewisch, and expects to attend to the details of construction. TRI-STATE CHAMPS The Herculoids football team has not faced a defeat this season, though they have fought some hard games. Manager Gallard is proud this year of his aggregation and says the "Herks" claim the football championship of Indiana, Ohio OM THE GRIDIRON. HURRAH, MOTHER! WE SCORED AGAINST THE VARSITY TODAY! THE SCRUB TEAM —Washington Star. and Kentucky. They have defeated twice their contenders, the Royal Athletic for the city of Chattanooga and the State championship. They defeated the chattnii O. (O.) Touch-MeNots on the latter's grounds for the supremacy of Ohio. They defeated the Kentucky's goal. The Kentucky State University fell before them, turning over the championship of Kentucky to the Hoosier warriors. The surrutly little team seems to defend its title against all comers. Until January 1 The Freeman will be sent one year for $1.00. WHY NELSON CAN FIGHT SO NEW YORK, Special—The question as to whether or not Bat Nelson is a normal human being continues to cause disruption in a New York doctor recently examined the Battalion and finds three points in the physical make-up of the lightweight champion. He has a heart that is abnormally slow and ordinarily strong. "Nelson's heart beats at the rate of 56 beats to the minute. The normal human heart beats from 72 to 70. After violent exercise Nelson's heart beats twice as much as a minute. "In 40 seconds he exercised exercising the pulse dropped from 98 to 70, showing that his heart can resume its normal function in less than the one minute of time between rounds in a fight. "In the long term expansion of five and one-half inches. That is great enough for a heavyweight. "His hips and stomach are abnormally small in proportion to his chest development. If his hips, stomach and legs were in proportion to his chest he would be a welterweight. "He has the strength of the welterweight (142 pounds) without having to carry more weight than a lightweight (133 pounds)." No wonder he is a champion.

November 20.—"Again I must repeat it; there won't be any boxing in Chicago." And with these clammy words Mayor Busse put another clamp on the lid while the delegation of fight promoters pleaded in vain. The recent disastrous outcome of the Illinois Athletic Club exhibition did not quite kill off the promoters ardor, and a squad of them the mayor's once yesterday. When the child executive was through with them they didn't feel so gay as a planked shad, nor as exuberant as a marinated herring. "The game" said the mayor, pleasantly, "and I'd be delighted to see it, but what's the use?" Why daily with a lot of fellows whose only idea of the sport is the graft end of the game, and who try every possible method to turn a trick on each other, on the general public or on the authorities." Ray Bronson of Indianapolis won a hard twenty-round battle from Kid Goodwin of the nascent Club of Dayton, O, on last Saturday night in the presence of a well-known house. Referee Rochm gave the decision Briley who showed much superiority over his opponent. Ray's long range did the work. Until January 1 The Freeman will be sent one year for $1.00. YANKEES PLAY OLD STYLE GAME. Lord Northcliffe's View of American Football. NEW YORK, November 15.—Lord Northcliffe, the English newspaper and magazine owner, was a spectator at the Rugby school game and made this comment on the American game. "I had never seen anything antiquated in the United States until I saw this football match. To my surprise, I found that the Vale and the Rugby school football, with its tiresome scrimmages which outweared the British many years ago. The men played brilliantly in fact. I don't remember playing the Vale's old-style game better. But it was the old-style game with all its tiresome delays. "The American people are hustlers. If they wish to keep up their reputation and the sportsmen of the world, I would advise them to play an up-to-date game." WALCOTT TAKES COUNT. Old Ringmaster Lost a Hard-Fought Battle. BOSTON—Larry Temple, the Negro middleweight, formerly of Cincinnati, sprang a surprise last week by knocking out their ten-round bout before the Armory. Both Temple and Walcott seemed to be in pretty good condition, and for three months was as merry a battle as has been seen in the past. Then years began to tell, and it settled down to a fight of has-beens, in which science was thrown away and both deceived by nagging. They broke even until the beginning of the tenth, when Temple cut loose and chased Walcott around the ring. He pooled Walcott and Temple into a fight. The croup came up wrably took his time and polished him off neatly with a couple of body blows. $1.00—The Freeman one year until January 1—$1.00. PACIFIC COAST CHAMPION LEAGUE CROSS BATS. The Pacific Coast Champion League team defeated the Los Angeles Giants while the score was a disappointment to the team. The game was a demonstration in them is as great as ever. A grand reception awaits them in their next game when they clash with the All-Stars. The game plays the chief topic of conversation for several days before and after. The better class of white fans will be the ones who win and patronize the games in large numbers. About 5,000 persons saw the game. There was considerable money won and lost of the game, for a number of white players, $20 to $1,000 on Los Angeles were present. The colored boys lost the game 14 to 2 and pumped in their buddy, the coloured twister of the colored boys, pitched but in vain. Clark has done some remarkable playing this season. Until January 1 The Freeman will be sent one year for $1.00. FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL. The more open football is allowed to be, the more popular it will become among the masses of the people as it is among the comparatively few, football players who play for the observers and as it is play dfor the benefit of the observers, or rather its admirers, and those who would admire the game if they but more thoroughly understood it, the sport would be more popularized if it was played in the stadium, because the spectator.

If you wish a beautiful Negro doll, dress it up with a white hat and a crown at once to Dorothy, care the Freeman. The large, magnificent audience assembled at Spellman Seminary on the 20th was delightfully and interestingly enterprising, with a great interest in Wright and one or two of the other advertised speakers, by reason o f sickness, etc., failed to reach the city and were therefore not at the meeting, the subject emphasized and accentuated by Messrs. Geo. A. Carman, director of the Lewis Institute, Chicago; Geo. P. Phenix, superintendent of the school; Thos. M. Ballet, dean School of Pedagogy, New York University; Nathaniel Myers, Hebrew Technical School for Girls, New York, and Dr. Booker T. Schoenberg, dean of industrial training. The meeting was presided over by Dr. W. H. Landrum, a leading Baptist minister of this city. The doctor was usual happy vein both in his production and in presenting the speakers. The various speakers told more or less of their experience and showed the wonderful growth industrialization in the city. How it had become a substantial part, a fraction in the educational unit, and without which it matters not to what class school or profession belong, are short of being the full round man or woman needed during this period of history making among the civilized nations. Each speaker was given the opportunity to win the attention of his hearers by the case and carnessheit he showed in handling the subject. But the greeting accrued to him was the delivery of his speech was not only a compliment to the great leader of advanced thought but creditable to the largest intellectual mixed audience ever ascribed to the roof in this city of schools and colleges. Mr. Washington said that until recently he had been of the opinion that Alabama had a monopoly on industrial education and that he had believed it a good thing for colored people only, but now they had reached the conclusion that it is a good thing for white people to have an education, and they are claiming it as their own. He advised his hearers to get education, to cultivate personal pride and to become a citizen in the other races. So advised them to hate one but to love everybody and by so doing expand their lives for the better. He said that the sphere to which hate and prejudice, if allowed to enter, will confine them. He spoke of the marvelous progress the whites North and South made in the war and in winning his own people against the irreparable mistake to be made by not having the courage to fight. He well trained to meet the fierce competition and the increasing demands of a critical and exacting public. Mr. Washington is a good story teller and several years ago he proposed one apropos to the subject. And after he had finished there was a great rush of the vast audience to shake his hand and give him a hug. He elevated work he is doing for the race. Rev. E. R. Carter, the renowned and beloved pastor of Friendship Baptist Church in New York, also felt to his lot to introduce Mr. Washington, which he did in his infinitive style. The benediction was pronounced by the pastor of the studio in charge of Bethel A. M. E. Church. Any girl can easily secure a beautiful Negro doll by writing Dorothy. Rev. J. M.

Ambassador Bryce said in part: "It is interesting to me to see that you have a number or students from the British empire, and I am proud to have them. We have within that empire many millions of the Negro race, in eastern, southern and western Africa, and, of course, also in the West Indies, we are profoundly interested in them, as well as in their benefits. We hope to obtain suggestions by which we can be benefited, and we are very glad that colored people from British Africa and the West Indies should be among you. We are interested in that idea which your principal put forward, and which is here being worked out, of the importance of industrial training is a sound, historical fact of the human race, every family of mankind, whatever its color, has to begin by acquiring habits of steady and constant labor, and by working out for itself the skills which civilization, even its simplest and rudest forms, may rest."
