During the 20 years immediately preceding the Civil War the Negroes produced in the Southern states 12,400,000 while during the 20 years following the Emancipation the Negroes produced 28,000,000 bales, and in one year alone, 1898, produced 11,260,000 bales. "The Negroes are more and more finding their salvation in the soil, over 80 per cent of people living in the rural districts. "In every trade, the Negro is finding his place. There are nearly 30,000 Negro school teachers and college professors, 16,000 clergymen, nearly 100 bankers and brokers, about 2,000, 800 lawyers, and 31 Negro banks. The Negroes operate more than one-eighth of all Negro businesses in the United States and are found in every trade and industry. and industry. "By his own work and the help he has reduced the filiteracy of his people to a marked degree. Men once shared the notion that the Negro could not learn, Bishop James wisely that if the Negroes could not furnish their own teachers they could not be educated. His thought is vindicated by the fact that he wields the 100s of吹铃 and battering down the walls of ignorance and superstition which surrounded the Negro people at Emancipation. From nearly 100 people he has educated the literacy to less than 44 per cent, and is more and more getting to the place where he pays for his education as other men help him to educate his helping to educate his poor white brother. *** Master Alvin Simpson, son of Prof. J.

COUNCILL NOTED EDUCATOR PASSES TO ETERNAL REWARD Head of Successful Institution at Normal-Hard and Constant Worker-Carved Out His Own Sphere in Life. He was beset with difficulties; the night riders of that day were in evidence; the Ku Kau men like the Ku Kau men like the Ku Council. He worked at whatever presented; went to Nashville, Tenn.; then worked in a restaurant in that day at attention night school; he trained course persistently; took advantage of all opportunities presented; sought opportunities when others were asleep or at play. He attended night school and philosophical instruments, walked eight miles once a week and paid a dollar to hear a lecture in these branches. He paid six dollars a month for his education and higher mathematics, finally developed into a full-fledged professor, and prized his possession, since he knew the rules and higher mathematics, finally developed in politics. In this, however, he was not different from many Negroes of that day, who possessed compensation for the past in condition he received by the Council. So in 1872 we find Mr. Council as an enrolling clerk in the Legislature of Alabama. Subsequently he was a nominee for the position in condition he received by the Council, pointed him receiver of public monies for the Northern district of Alabama, a position he declined, preferring to accept a position in condition he received by the Council, which he was elected without solicitation. In 1876 he was elected president of the State Normal and Industrial School, and professor Women and Their Interests By “DOROTHY.” ‘Amid the cares of married life, In spite of toil and business strife, if you value your sweet wite, ‘Tell her so!

Recently several articles have appeared in the daily papers at Washington, D. C. regarding a union which has been formed among the women employes of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. The principal work of this bureau 1s the printing of the paper currency and postage stamps. It is Inder the ‘Treasury, and is not, identical with the Government Printing Office, which is under control of a committee of Con- gress. The Government Printing Office has been “unionized” for many years.

The Round=Up A Romance of Arizona Novelized From Edmund Day's Melodrama By JOHN MURRAY and MILLS MILLER Copyright, 1908, by G. W. Dillingham Co. When the Lazy K outfit was thoroughly under subjection Slim stepped forward and said: "Now, gentlemen, if you please, you see, this here's my party, an' I regelicate it my way. Jack here gave his word to stay an' face this thing out. He's a-goin' to do it. I'm responsible for him. Sagebrush, you will collect at the door to sech articles of hardware as these gentlemen has in their belts. I deputize you. Gents, as you walk out the do' you will deposit your weapons with Mr. Sagebrush Charley, the same to be returned to you when the court sees fit an' proper." "You hain't goin' to let him"— Buck did not finish the sentence, for Slim, thoroughly aroused, shouted: "Buck Mc-Kee, if you say another word I'm goin' to kill you. Gents, there's the door. Your hosses are in the corral. Get" Preceded by some of the Sweetwater boys, the Lazy K outfit filed out, Sagebrush taking their guns as they passed him. Fresno and Parenthesis brought up the rear. / "He needn't think he'll escape. We're bound to have him," declared Buck. "Are you goin'?" demanded Slim, his voice full of menace. "Can't you see me?" sneered Buck. Sagebrush relieved him of his gun as he passed, handing it to Fresno. Buck paused in the doorway long enough to lament: "Talk about hospitality. I never get in but what I am put out." Slim watched McKee from the window until he disappeared through the gate of the corral. Then, walking down to Jack, he took him by the hand. "I'll be all right in an hour. Thank you, boys." Payson assured them. "We all know you are the whitest man on the Sweetwater," assured Sagebrush, speaking for the punchers as they left Jack a prisoner with Slim. Speaking in a low tone, Jim asked Jack, "Where did you get that money?" "Don't you know?" he asked in surprise. "Pron!"—Jack nodded his head. "I'll wait fer you in the other room," said Slim. "Maw, Polly—we all better leave 'em alone." As the woman and the girl left the room the old ranchman paused at the doorway leading to the kitchen to advise his son-in-law earnestly: "I 'low you better tell her. It's best." The two young people were left alone in the room in which they had passed so many happy hours to face a crisis in their lives. The day which had begun so sunnily was to end in darkest clouds. The awful accusation was incredible to Echo. Her faith in her husband was not shaken. Jack, she felt, could explain. But, no matter what the outcome might be, she would be loyal to the man she loved. On this the loved. On this point she felt wholly confident. Had she not pledged her faith at the marriage altar? "Jack?" A volume of questions was in the word. Taking her hands in his and looking searchingly into her eyes, he said: "Before I tell you what's been on my mind these many weeks I want to hold you in my arms and hear you say, 'Jack, I believe in you.'" Echo put her arms about his neck and, nestling close to his breast, declared: "I do believe in you, no matter what circumstances may be against you. No matter if all the world calls you guilty. I believe in you and love you." Jack seated himself at the table and drew his wife down beside him. Putting his arms about her as she knelt before him, he murmured, "You're a wife, a wife of the west, as fair as its skies and as steadfast as its hills, and I—I'm not worthy"— "Not worthy—you haven't—it isn't"—gasped Echo, starting back from him, thinking that Jack was about to confess that under some strange stress of circumstances he had slain the express agent. "No, it isn't that," hastily answered Jack, with a shudder at the idea. "I've lied to you," he simply confessed. "Lled to me—you?" cried Echo in dismay. "I've been a living lie for months," relentlessly continued Jack, nerving himself for the ordeal through which he would have to pass. "Jack," walled Echo, shrinking from him on her knees, covering her face with her hands. "It's about Dick." Echo started. Again Dick Lane had arisen as from out the grave. "What of him?" she asked, rising to her feet and moving away from him. "He is alive!" Jack did not dare look at his wife. He sat with his face white and pinched with anguish. The young wife groaned in her agony. The blow had fallen. Dick alive, and she now the wife of another man! What of her promise? What must he think of her? "I didn't know it until after we were engaged," pursued Jack, "six months. It was the day I questioned you about whether you would keep your promise to Dick if he returned. I wanted to tell you then, but the telling meant that I should lose you. He wrote to me from Mexico, where he had been in the hospital. He was coming home. He inclosed this letter to you." Jack drew from his pocket the letter which Dick had inclosed in the one which he had sent Jack telling him of his proposed return. She took the missive mechanically and opened it slowly. "I wanted to be square with him, but I loved you," pleaded Jack. "I loved you better than life, better than honor. I couldn't lose you, and so"— His words fell on unheeded ears. She was not listening to his pleadings. Her thoughts dwelt on Dick Lane and what he must think of her. She had taken refuge at the plano, on which she bowed her head within her arms. Slowly she arose, crushing the letter in her hand. In a low, stunned voice she cried, "You lied to me!" Jack buried his face in his hands. "Yes," he confessed. "He came the night we were married. I met him in the garden. He paid that money he had borrowed from me when he went away." Horror struck, Echo turned to him. "He was there that night?" she gasped. "Oh. Jack! You knew and you "Whar did you get that money?" never told me. I had given my word to marry him. You, knowing that, have done this thing to me?" Her deep emotion showed itself in her voice. The more Jack told her the worse became her plight. "I loved you." Jack was defending himself now, fighting for his love. "Did Dick believe I knew he was living?" continued the girl mercilessly. "He must have done so." "Jack, Jack!" sobbed Echo, tears streaming down her face. "What could I do? I was almost mad with fear of losing you. I was tempted to kill him then and there. I left your father to guard the door—to keep him out until after the ceremony." Jack could scarcely control his voice. The sight of Echo's suffering unmanned him. "My father, too!" wailed Echo. "He thought only of your happiness." Jack exclaimed. "What of my promise—my promise to marry Dick? Where is he?" moaned the girl. "He's gone back to the desert. He is gone out of our lives forever," cried Jack, facing her, with arms outstretched. "And you let him go away in the belief that I knew him to be living?" accused the wife. "What will not a man do to keep the woman he loves? Dick Lane has gone from our lives. He will never return," argued Jack. "He must!" screamed Echo. "There is a crime charged against you. He must return to prove that your story as to the money—He must know through your own lips the lie that separated us." "You love him—you love him!" Jack kept repeating the words, agast at the knowledge that Echo seemed to be forcing upon him. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. "Bring him back to me." Firmly she spoke. Jack gazed at her in fear. Choking-ly he cried again, "You love him." "I don't know. All I know is that he has suffered, is suffering now, through your treachery. Bring him back to me that I may stand face to face with him and say: I have not lied to you. I have not betrayed your trust." Biennial "You love him," he repeated. "Flind him—bring him back." bring him back." Jack was helpless, speechless. Echo's attitude overpowered him. The wife staggered again to the plano, slowly sinking to the seat. She had turned her back on him. This action hurt him. Deep sobs shook her shoulders. turned her back on him. This action hurt him more than any word she had spoken. Her face was buried in her hands. Deep sobs shook her shoulders. Jack followed her to take her again in his arms, but she made no sign of forgiveness. Turning, he strode to the rack and took down his hat and cartridge belt. Picking up his rife, he firmly declared: "I will go. I'll search the plains, the mountains and the deserts to find this man. I will offer my life if it will serve to place the life you love beside von. Goodby." The sound of the closing of the door roused Echo to a full realization of what she had done. She had driven the one man she really loved out of her life, sent him forth to wander over the face of the earth in search of Dick Lane, for whom she no longer cared. She must bring her husband back. She must tell him that he alone had her heart in his keeping. "No, no, Jack! Come back!" she called. "I love you and you alone! Come back! Come back!" Before she could throw open the door and summon him back to happiness and trust Bud, who had heard the full confession from the room in which he had taken refuge when he thought Buck would throw the blame on Jack, caught her by the arm. "Stop!" he commanded. "Bud Lane!" exclaimed Echo. "You have heard!" "I've heard—my brother—he is alive!" Bud spoke rapidly. His belief was confirmed. He would have full revenge for what his brother had suffered at Payson's hands. To Echo's plea of "Don't stop me!" he shouted "No!" and caught the young wife and pulled her back from the doorway. Echo struggled to free herself, but the young man was too strong. "He had ruined Dick's life, stolen from him the woman he loved!" he hissed in her ear. "Jack! Jack!" was her only answer. "No; he shan't come back! Let him go as he let my brother go—out of your life forever!" "I can't, I can't! I love him!" Throwing Bud off, she ran to the door. Bud pulled his revolver and cried, "If he enters that door I'll kill him!" Outside Echo heard Jack inquiring, "Echo, Echo, you called me?" Echo laid her hand on the knob to open the door when she heard the cluck of the pistol's hammer as Bud raised it. With a prayer in her eyes she looked at the young man. He was obdurate. Nothing could move him. Turning, she shrieked: "No; I did not call! Go! In God's name, go!" P. L. B. "He is alive!" rapid beat of horse's hoofs told of his mounting and riding away. "Gone! Oh, Bud, Bud, what have you done?" "I should have killed him," was Bud's answer as he gazed after the retreating form galloping down the trail. Mrs. Allen, hearing Echo's calls, hastened in from the kitchen. She found her daughter sobbing at the table. "What is the matter, child?" Then, turning to Bud, she fiercely demanded of him, "What have you been savin' to her?" "Nothin'," he replied as he left the house. "Oh, mother, mother!" wailed Echo. "Jack—I have sent him away." "Sent him away?" repeated the startled Mrs. Allen. "Yes," assured Echo. "You don't mean to say he is guilty—you don't mean" "No, no!" interrupted Echo. "Oh, I never thought of that! He must come back. Call dad, call Slim." Echo had forgotten Jack's promise to Slim. He, too, in his period of stress had overlooked the fact that he was a suspected murderer. Now he had fed. He must be brought back to clear his good name. Mrs. Allen called her husband and the sheriff into the room. "What's the row?" shouted the sheriff. "Jack's gone!" cried Mrs. Allen. In amazement the two men could only repeat the news "Gone!" "Gone where?" crisply demanded the sheriff. "He gave me his word to stay an' face this thing out," shouted the bewildered Slim. "It's all my fault. I sent him away." Echo seized Slim's hand as she spoke. "You sent him away?" She fell on her knees before him. Lifting her hands as in prayer, she implored: "I never thought of his promise to you. He never thought of it. Go find him—bring him back to me" "Bring him back?" howled the excited sheriff, his eyes bulging, his PARKER "Bring him back?" cheeks swelling, his red hair bristling and his voice ringing in its highest key. "Bring him back? You just bet I will. That's why I'm sheriff of Pinal county." Slim whirled out of the door as if propelled by a gigantic blast. Echo fell fainting at her mother's feet. (Continued Next Week.) A DISTINGUISHED PARTY OF NEGROES CALL ON PRESIDENT TAFT. A distinguished party of Negroes, headed by Charles Bank, of the Mound Bayou Bank of Mound Bayou, Miss., were among the recent callers on President Taft. The Review, of New York, in speaking of it, said: The party came primarily to tell Mr. Taft that they and their people believed in him and trusted him; and also that the colored people of Mississippi, because of their wealth, capacity and patriotism, ought not to be overlooked in the distribution of places given to men of character and acquainted with honor. Eight years, long, long years, have colored men of Mississippi been subjected to the caprices and whims of the most venal and disgusting political machination of which history has record. Representing 99 per cent of the Republican party's morals, its mental aptitude and its wealth in this State, colored men have been kicked, bruised and shamefully humiliated by a system at once the wickedest and most inexcusable of any in the sad, sad South. President Taft kne whis. He knows it more now. He has confidence in Charles Banks. The colored people of Charles Bank's State would rather know this than to listen to a recital by Mr. Taft or an oration of Wendell Phillips, for they know their 'Charlie.' The party was composed of the following gentlemen: Charles Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou; W. E. Mollison, president Lincoln Bank at Vicksburg and the most eloquent speaker in the South; John W. Strather, president of the Delta Bank at Greenville, and called "the prince of Mississippi"; Isaiah T. Montgomery, statesman and founder of Mound Bayou; Perry W. Howard, the brilliant Jackson lawyer; Principal Hoetzclaw, of Utica Institute; Dr. W. A. Attaway, of Greenville, president of the Delta Penny Bank at Indianola, and W. M. Cox, cashier; Editor J. C. Chapple, of Greenville; A. A. Cosey, secretary of the Mound Bayou Oil Company; T. J. Wilson, of Meridian, treasurer of the Masonic Benefit Association; George H. Oliver, principal of the Clarksdale Public Schools, and Wesley Crayton, of Vicksburg, long prominent in public affairs of that State. Editor Roscoe Conkling Simons was to have been a member of the conference, but he was detained in New York by business demands. THE FREEMAN AT BALTIMORE Special to THE FREEMAN.

ELWOOD C. KNOX, Business Manager. SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1909. Oh, the cruel world! April—a little balky at this writing. Race pride consists more in living for one than dying for one. Indications are that Register of the Treasury Vernon will not go in a hurry, if at all. A Negro was among the recently mobbed. He was of Arcadia, Fla., and accused of the usual crime. When it becomes thoroughly known that four prominent white men were hanged in Oklahoma this week, there will not be such a good opinion of the business. An inverted basin or wash bowl will answer admirably for a hat in these days. Stick a rose or some other big blossom on any place or anyhow. Indiana Avenue should have at least one good grocery. The restaurants and eating-houses are able to support it, not to say anything of the families. The discharged Negro soldiers are having a long term of waiting, but it won't matter when the end comes, provided, of course, that the end is the expected. The youngsters of Turkey seem determined to have a new deal. The Sultan is expected to abdicate the throne, which he has held so long, albeit the "Sick Man of Europe." The venerable ex-President of Hayti will do America this summer. More than likely he will take in the Negro Business League, which meets in Louisville in August. A Negro in New York has opened a five and ten cent store. The enterprise is considered rather ambitious, consequently the outcome is awaited with considerable anxiety. Cheap gas will help some. Now, if they will manage to keep the flour down so that the poor people may still enjoy their loaf at 5 cents, furthely blessing will be confessed. Indianapolis needs the meeting of the Negro Business League again to help galvanize things into activity. We need some bright, cheerful shops and stores, groceries, bakeries, meat shops and confectionaries. According to what is understood, politics will cut no figure in the appointment of men for taking the coming census. The President seems to prefer that personal fitness rather than party affiliation rule in the matter of appointments. The mayoralty situation is brightening up. Candidates are bobbing up on either side. But in spite of it there seems to be something perfunctory about it—a lack of spontaneity. If Mayor Bookwalter were eligible he'd give the thing zest. The liquor war is still raging in Indiana. The indications are that there will be but a few oases when it is all over. The drinking people will have to tank up well when a wet spot is reached, for literally it's going to be a long time between drinks. They have put the odd pennies on milk, and now bread is expected to soar a notch or so. Eggs dropped to 20 cents, then, apparently from spite, took on an extra penny, and hang there, as if too determined to work it out on that line if it takes all summer. Our present Congressman will have to get busy if he will secure the regular allotment of flower seeds and vegetable seeds for this district. Mr. Overstreet kept a keen watchout along this line. The public schools were very grateful to him for his kindness from year to year. James H. Lott, attorney of Indianapolis, is among the colored men of Indiana who will, it is fair to assume, be among those considered when the President gets down to the question of rewards for colored men. Mr. Lott is an able lawyer, a speaker of ability, and of intelligence in general. The visiting delegations to Washington travel in style, saying plainly that they have money. Formerly the "village Hampden" raked and scraped to get enough together to make one way, taking chances on getting back home. His friends in Washington subscribed willingly to this latter fund. A writer in the Guardian has it that Robt. H. Terrell has not been elevated to a Federal judgship. He ingeniously describes what he is, saying that his court has been changed from that of justice o f the peace to Municipal Court. He offers other explanation, but fails to state what Terrell's title is under the new arrangement. A distinguished educator gone in the death of Dr. W. H. Councill, of Normal, Ala. For years he stood with the few that were foremost in the industrial movement, including such men as Booker T. Washington. In some sense the two educators, Washington and Councill, were rivals for popular favor. Only within the last two or three years has he been somewhat out of the public sight, and due, we may think, to his long continued illness. There is some little sign of industrial activity, but not nearly enough. The thing is not in the bones, but it must get in somehow if we expect to have either flesh or bones. The race must be fixed in its career. Capricious wage-earning is too hazardous. Business places must be established by a people that are shut out of other concerns. The race is alone in the matter. Incidentally, a white boy or girl may not find work. With us it is the rule. The stores down town teem with boys and girls; also the factories. We need not—they are white boys and girls. John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, means to hold the job if it is possible to do so. In fact, many will not have claim to the office in point of enthusiasm for the present administration over Mr. Dancy. But at that, there are meritorious Negroes who would reflect credit on themselves, the party and the race were they selected to fill Mr. Dancy's shoes. From this distance it doesn't look as if the President will be in a hurry to remove Mr. Dancy, which is very creditable to him, even though he may be finally removed. If the committee on the preservation of the Douglass homestead will make the right move they will get the funds necessary for its object. The people stand ready to keep the Douglass name alive. The nickels and dimes will do it. Big donations should rather be discouraged. They answer quickly, true enough, but they do not answer sentiment. The preservation of the name and belongings of a national character is a matter of sentiment. If possible, every individual, every Negro, should have a share of sentiment in the Douglass estate at 1 cent and upwards per share. Let the young men of the city club their money and start enterprises of all kinds. Put them on stock basis, the more belonging the better, insuring certain and more patronage. Let them expect the usual dividend of from 6 to 8 per cent. Not only young men, the middle-aged men, the old men, the women, even the children. Hundreds would be employed—that's something. Failure could only come by downright refusal of patronage. This, of course, includes competency in management—the expected in these days. We have a few flourishing concerns. But a city of more than thirty thousand colored people should see at least one thousand of them in mercantile pursuits—buying and selling. We are clannish enough, but mostly in the wrong place. What's the use of dying for one if you will not live for one? The situation is stated. We avow race pride, but spend race money elsewhere altogether. The lynching of four prominent white citizens in Oklahoma ought to be serious enough to halt the business. This monstrous wrong was introduced by white men—not of course for themselves, but for a hapless people, and who would find punishment swift and sure in event of crime. But as things go, even on earth sometimes, men will not escape retributive justice. Life and limb, things about which the law books are particularly concerned, have been cheapened in the popular mind by the doings of the mob. The fascinating game has outrun its limitations, as they were laid down, as this and other instances show. White men of prominence are now passing through the humiliating ordeal of death at the hands of the mob. The wrong, injustice and the horror of it all! Not so much because these four white men suffered, but because of the system. The colored, people of Evansville, sensitive to the reference to them by the recent Tuskegee conference, are busily engaged in making improvements in the communitive where they live. Meetings are being held from time to time, where the ways and means for bettering conditions are discussed. At one of these meetings a speaker made the assertion that the statement was made at the conference that the housing and general condition of Negroes in that city were worse than in any other city in the United States. The assertion is a little misleading, and really does the conference an injustice. Evansville was cited as one of among three cities where the Negroes were most poorly housed. The citation did good, since every effort is being put forward to make the communities as presentable as conditions will permit. Attention was called to the houses by one of the speakers, who insisted that the owners could help materially in helping the colored people by doing their best in fixifi them up. The white citizens are interested and are commending the work. the death of Ex-Senator David Turpie occurred in this city April 21. Mr. Turpie was the last of a line of noted Democrats including such men as Hendricks, Voorhees and McDonald. He had been calling for ten years, consequently his entire party was honored. His party did continuously honored him finally did him the great honor of choosing him for the United States Senatorship in 1887. He was a man of vast learning and good ability and was so recognized by the public that the citizens generally are grieved to know THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Members of our own race and of other races who are interested in the great ethic of sociology to learn of any age are always sociological to learn of any age that have been taken in race progress, or, that make for its future development; hence, undoubtedly, such individuals will have been taken in race progress, the advancement along all lines of work that has been made in Lincoln Institute since 1902, when Dr. B. F. Allen became its administrator. To Dr. Allen, had held for sight years an important professorship in the institution and thus knew more of the real needs of the school than could one to whom the same experience had been given the same time, his experience as a teacher in schools of such high rank as Atlanta University, Georgia State College, etc., gave standards of comparison without which excellent students may fail, or fall short of required grades. Bearing these and other facts in mind it is, therefore, not strange that from the beginning of Dr. Allen's administration Lincoln institute began to take on new students, and both student body and teaching force. The dormitory for boys, started under a former administration, was soon complete and before the middle of the first school-astic year was filled with boys to the point of overflowing. Shortly afterward a new dormitory for girls was finished, and also was overcrowded and an additional dormitory is now a crying necessity. A department of agriculture was organized with a professional chair, and the Institute farm, by order of the board of directors, was also appointed tendent. Live stock, including horses, mules, sows, hogs, chickens, etc., were purchased, and the farm was put into better shape, and gave satisfactory re-mentation. It was at that time, A fine barn, chicken house and other buildings, accessory to a well stocked farm, were built by student labor under the supervision of the Department of In- Printing, shoemaking, chair caining and several allied crafts and industries were added with the hope that appropriations would make it possible to enlarge the scope of the work along with the training of students in the school no department or branch of work receives official recognition until the board of regents passes upon the same and money has been appropriated to pay for teacher, material, etc. required. In denominational schools, the school has been given the institutions numerous subjects, industrial and otherwise, may be added at the dis- of his death, since he was in every way instinguished along the lines of his endower.

Special to THE FREEMAN creation of benefactors, instructors and other interested parties. Lincoln Institute, by legislative enactment, is a college with normal, industrial, agricultural and other important departmental offices. It is one of ways urge that the standard of work in the literary department shall be kept up to that of the normal schools for Anglo-American students. Allen has faithfully striven to work toward this high ideal; at the same time he has stressed the industrial features of the department. Carrington, after a visit to Tuskegee, publicly made the following statement: "In my opinion the industrial work in Lincoln Institute was the same that done at Tuskegee, the difference being in quantity, and not at all in quality." Those who know what the Negro population of Missouri and of the section is, as compared with that of the so-called white population, to account for the difference in quantity. The fact that during Dr. Allen's administration many young people from some of the best families of the most distant families in the country came to Wisconsin, Texas, Alabama, Rhode Island, New York, etc., have matriculated and have been graduated here, speaks volumes for the standards which he has established, as also does the success which is attained by them. He has held highly responsible and remunerative positions as teachers in high, normal and city school systems, while others are succeeding well in other professions and in various other areas of work. Space forbids a longer article at the present time, but to illustrate the last statement we briefly but with pardonable confidence, we refer to Cheyenne, Wyo., Lincoln Institute, class of '08, now head of the department of domestic science, Sedalia; Mice Ledley Ford, of the same class, supervisor of domestic science, Lincoln Institute, Bradshaw, kindergarten director, St. Louis. The total number of full course graduates from the school is four hundred and sixty-five, and the total number of dreded and sixteen have been graduated under the present administration; and these figures do not include the large number of graduates from the half-course, from the junior school and from the etc. The present senior class numbers fifty-four, and "What Recent Graduates of Lincoln Institute Are Doing" would further valuable contribution to race literature, but for the present possibly enough has been written to indicate the extensive and elevated character of Dr. Allen's work for the race.

If any one should ask who McKanlass is, he might be answered by saying that he is one of the leading violinists, said to be a classical musician. His experience has been of the very best; perhaps no colored man has had a more interesting career. McKanlass graduated from the Cinema in 1888 and taught in the "public schools of Cincinnati. He owned his own private car, the first violinist ever owning one. He received $500 a week at the Fountain Theater, 1888. He received $1000 McKanlass's Theater, Seattle, Wash., in 1889, and c500 a week at the Masonic Temple, Chicago. III. He played at Yellowstone Park and the Cincinnati Opera. McKanlass is now doing the country in company with Miss Lizzie Perry, called the four-voiced songstress. She is held to be a virtuoso violinist. The team is quite formidable, and is making a hit wherever they appear. McKanlass does not confine his violin playing solely to the classics; he does more important work that involves audiences.

Can't quite understand why this is so, unless it is because of the lack of a charm. A pile of this city such a standing in other cities. In many places the word Indianapolis, spoken by a colored person, meaning that he hails from there, acts like a charm. He is not a black man, and smoke without some fire. So it may as well be set down that the people here are the goods in the direction referred to, at least. This is not so true of the late crop as it was in the past. It is not so early. The spirit that was on passed on to the children; these were the choice emigrants who moved on to a new territory from a far different motive than actuates in the past. They came first, much as the Pilgrim fathers came. Many of those that move about in these days do so in a hurry. This is inference by deduction, reducing downward, where the most important factor will be borne out when I mention Tom Brown. Fred Simpson, Harry Brown, Gus Hall, Frank Brown, George Temple, Billy Shelton, John Howard, John Tolliver, Fred Lewis and a few more whose names don't come to me at this time. To do each of these individuals justice would require many of them among them are the very best in the business. What Negro in the world blows a horn like Fred Simpson? Perhaps none. He dropped in The Freeman office a few days ago to pay his annual respects. The show with which he travels is not as consequently but very little is seen of him in these days. He is with Richards and Pringle's Minstrels, formerly Ruscoe and Holland's, and has been with them for several years, and in fact, British Columbia to the Pacific coast, touching, I believe, the northern part of that tier of States bordering on the British Dominion, and parts of the Pacific Ocean. He got his first training in the well-known Brotherhood Band, an organization which inspired as many colored men to be musicians as any other perhaps in the country, and notably ambulant—just the kind of man for a leader if he wants sanguine followers. I do not think Gaston was as able as he was ambulous. But, taking it up and down, he had to be a teacher. Teachers might be hired; teachers were hired. The well-known Professors Cameron and T. Q. Brown were instrumental in making the band what it was. Fred took corner stairs, and the teachers must be trained, imminent, chose that mastery, that graceful instrument, the slaterombone. That he selected well is proven by the results. Like many great musicians, they took a few lessons, persevered in training headway, finally graduated with the first rank. It RAMBLING day and a real genuine race celebrity. Many critics claim her the best soloist who has visited their city, and others that she be the greatest of all. Requests have come for so many return dates and from cities which she did not visit on this tour that the Mme. is thinking of making another tour in the near future, was the case with Fred Simpson. Where he goes he carries all with him by his artisanal leather jacket, he is aware of Fred's drawing qualities, and usually he is given solo work when the band plays in front of the play houses, and of course he is a feature on the programs. Really, he is the best of the Mme. clans in New York City, and I believe he is the only colored member—at least the only trombonist. The test, he says, was rigid, but he passed it in a most excellent manner, and marked in the nineteen, approaching one hundred. GOOD NEWS TO OUR COLORED POPULATION OF JACKSON-VILLE, FLA. Messrs.

It will be finished on or about May 1, and on May 3 will be the opening night. The colored people of this vicinity will no doubt show interest in the class performers, and are willing to pay the price in order to give their patrons a show that will be a credit to Jacksonville and its citizens. They have an ad ad elsewhere, and they must pay all performers that are seeking employment to read and get in communication with them immediately.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 20.—A few more games like the one on last Sunday between the Louisville Giants and the A. B.

Like Hale and put out ten men and a good sacker at the home plate, like Alexander, victory will always perch on the banners of the home boys. Hale and Alexander were simply immense. In the presence of one of the largest crowds of the season, the Louisville team won with Dallas Carter was the feature of the game, if he did make one error, throwing a ball first. He reduced it to three hits and made five hits. He did this twice when hits were scarce as he's teeth and when they were most needed. Dallas Carter was the sensational number thirty yards. The fast and interesting, and the 3,500 people went away rejoicing with what they had seen of the coming champions of the season. A. B.

C ORGANIZER WANTED. THE FREEMAN AT CHICAGO THE FREEMAN POSTOFFICE Gentlemen's List. A GLANCE IN PASSING BY JOHN L. FOOTSLUG. Since there has been so much said recently concerning the very prevalent habit of carrying revolvers, it came to mind that the thirteen murders recently committed above heading. I am of the opinion that pistol carrying has been the real cause of the thirteen murders recently committed in vicinity. I do not condemn the idea of possessing a pistol, but I am raising one abroad when there is likely to be a real necessity for its use, as sometimes happens; but the very poor idea of carrying firearms at such times and under such circumstances that they are not at all necessary. In the majority of cases they are carried rather in the foolish hope that there be some occasion or excuse for their display and use of the danger which exists—in a spirit of silly vanity, which is none the less dangerous because of its silliness. When a couple of men are in a trivial danger, nationalism have a falling out over every trivial matter—as frequently happens, their first thought is not to fight it, but to pull a gun and kill. Nearly every town in the country has its quota of persons of this description; not as a rule 'bad' follows in any general sense, but in the case of a saloon quarrel, and it generally winds up with a fatal shooting simply because the brawlers happen to have the pistols with them, the hunters not been armed the quarrel would have ended up in a rough and tumble fight. THE NEGROES' GREATEST NEED When it comes to the Negroes' greatest need, I am with Rev. Emory J. Cain in his idea that "Industrial education and self-respect, together with self-control, are the American Negroes' greatest need." Rev. Emory J. Cain is conducting a Polytechnical Rescue Mission at 730 Blake street, this city. In connection with this mission the Rev. E. J. Cain has opened up an industrial school, in which cooking, cremaking, millinery, carpentry, blacksmithing, and woodworking were the past winter he did much to keep down burglary in the city by feeding and lodging hundreds of black men who were out of work and almost driven to desperation. He is now adhered to the police station and asked for a place to stay, and many the times have hearts been made glad when they received a ticket there of this form: : This Ticket Good for One Night's : : Looging at the Polytechnical Rescue : : Mission (Colored), 730 Blake St. : EMORY J. CAIN, Superintendent. : When they went there they found a home—a place where they could begin life over again, and many of them did. : speaking of the school Mr. Cain has to say. "In the month of August, 1908, I was moved to investigate the condition of the Negroes of this city during the financial crisis, and I decided to lend my undertaking the establishment of an institution designed to relieve some of the existing distress. The first thought was to provide some place where those who were ill and in warm bed and a cup of coffee were out of the house, this end a building at the corner of Blake and Colton streets was leased, the annual rental being $180. This contained two halls. One was converted into a chapel and a room for a guest. Recognizing the work should have some means of support, I planned to install a hand laundry. To make room for this I leased the next building at $14 a month and bought tubs, boards, irons and laundry equipment. I was able to help, but before giving help I urge you to make a personal investigation and satisfy yourself that the undertaking is worthy." am sure that such a work is needed in all cases, especially in all cases. You who have never investigated the situation have no idea what poor clerks are doing. You know that they sit around New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and many other large cities. Negro laborers fairly starve to death in the South, and Volunteers! Do you know that they don't want you any more than any other institution unless you pay the price. Such an institution is the Poor Mission should be established everywhere. WOMEN AS BREAD-WINNERS Industrial conditions have reached a wonderful stage in recent years. It seems that women have taken the day in the business world, as more than 60 per cent. of them are employed. It makes it a grave problem is that the married women have joined the army in great numbers. Is it the cause? It has been stated that the reason lies in the restlessness of the modern woman, her dissatisfaction with the narrow income, her ambition to enjoy fine clothes, theaters, railroad trips, etc. But one thing I do know is that women have so supplanted men in certain employments that men can no longer find work to do. Here I think a mistake is made, because man is naturally the bread-winner, and some state should compel all men to work, specially for the unemployed, work, for the reason that unless a man is trained to some particular trade or business he has to compete not only with men in a similar condition, but with an army who can afford to work for lower wages. THE NEW COLORED SCHOOL FOR KENTUCKY. LOUISVILLE, KY., April 17, 1909. Editor FRIEERMAN: The establishment of a $500,000 Negro school of character is of sufficient importance to your many readers and to the Negro race generally to demand more than a passing notice. I take the liberty, therefore, of giving to your readers a few facts about the Negro race in the "New Beren" which the trustees of Berea College are establishing for the Negroes of Kentucky. At the very outset let me say that I suspect with regard to I have been connected with Berea College, first as student and then as trustee, since 1879. For the last twelve years I have been secretary of the board, having been re-elected to that position, and separating the races has been in operation. We are now in the midst of a great campaign to raise a half million dollars with people Kentucky and people Kentucky school that shall give them the advantages of an education now denied them at Berea. We have succeeded beyond our expectations. The white people of the state have 555,000 of the people of Louisville alone are raising $100,000, most of which is already pledged. Of the $25,000 asked of the colored people of the State about $20,000 has been pledged. The white people of the state nearly $4,000 of this amount. Supers们 as Drs. Howser and Lattinino, Dr. Jordon, Profs. Meyzeck, McClellen, Lawson, Perris, Meyer, Name, Burke and other leaders here among the largest supporters to the movement. We are now negotiating for 1,000 acres of good land upon which to build the new school. Buildings worth $100,000 will be put immediately. At least $200,000 will be invested to be used as a perpetual endowment. At start with, we shall have the following departments: An industrial department on the order of Tuskegee; a normal department for the training of teachers; a musical department, and an academic department for the teaching of the higher We have been criticised for emphasizing the importance of our industrial department. But the mere statement of the fact that full-time employees are any people, must make their living with their hands ought to put these critics to silence. For shall we continue to put all our school money upon the 10 per cent that can make their living without manual work, or that we work with their hands without any preparation for life work? Or shall we remember the 90 per cent, also? Have the 90 per cent, of our people who must work in the factory, not clerical or not neglecting the 90 per cent, that will earn their living in other ways, we shall give special attention to the masses who must always be known as our laboring class. And for this policy we are required to make it clear that it should be said, however, that provision is made in the constitution and articles of incorporation for a great university, an in- 's ABOUT "PISTOL TOTING." stitution of learning that shall minister to the various needs of our great race. The colored people of Kentucky know a good thing when they see it. I have visited Kentucky and wherever I have gone the people have hailed the coming of this great $500,000 school as a great deliverance. They have given it their prayers and their means. We assign carriages on in Kentucky to raise $25,000 and have been unique. Nothing like it was ever undertaken before. As we have traversed the State, traveling some five thousand miles, holding meetings in hundreds of churches and school houses, and meeting usands and schools in city and town and rural district, we have had a larger mission than raising $25,000. We have for the last five months been carrying on a great educational campaign that is to cover the entire State and country, and the training which shall be felt a half century hence. Now this is our purpose and our work. To our readers who would criticise us we put one fact and one question. The fact: when it comes to educational facilities for the Negro. Every other State in the South is ahead of the great "blue grass" State. To say that we have been robbed, we must explain the square deal at Berea, does not alter the fact of desituation. Sitting around condemning people and things in general won't give Kentucky what she ought to have—a great school stitcher. The fact of reputation. The question: Have you something better to propose? If so, bring it forward. To conclude, let me say that we feel that great school stitcher nearly half a million dollars, enjoying the confidence of such men as Mr. Carnegie and other national philanthropists and tens of thousands of Negroes in the State, compelled to other great Negro leaders, and having for its purpose the intellectual, moral, industrial and religious regeneration of the State of Kentucky, deserves more than any word at the hands of our papers and leaders. I have purposely refrained from discussing the causes that led up to the present because the reason that there might be a difference is that there can be no difference of opinion that, now that Berea's doors are forever closed to us, we need a great school such as is planned and well well established. And we need to ensure that enough to his own interests and the interests which is of infinitely more importance to stand in the way of this great school. The Evansville, Ind., Negro is no mean example. This fact needs emphasis for the reason that the recent Tuskegee Conference called attention to Evansville as a place of the Negro were poorly housed, being one of the areas where conditions were exceptionally bad, and the Indianapolis FREEMAN, in a recent article concerning Evansville, gives as one of the reasons for such condition the indif- The history of Evansville immediately following the civil war runs very much cities, especially of the other Northern Negroes flocking from the South were unwelcome guests. It is true that many of them, in their ignorant condition, were not willing to pay the price for the guilty. The houses that were built in the city were built for white people, in keeping with their civilized demands, and were not built for Negroes. The Negroes, being accustomed to the cabin and "quarters," so abused the privilege when they had the opportunity to buy land, and the exception was almost lacking. Many shrewd white men, observing this and the opportunity for financial profit, built "quarter" houses, the most the same relative positions as when built, although the surrounding property has increased in value and is much built in. The Negroes, at one time housed the best of us for could not rent in other places. This condition is not alone true in Evansville, but many other Northern cities and border town The better element amongst the Negroes in Evansville no longer live in the Negro quarters, nor are they satisfied with quarters, because the rough element inhabits this district and the property seem disinclined to sacrifice their investment, the city authorities, more than a year ago, decided to rid the city of this locality by changing and opening the Negroes to a more positive support of the Negroes, and when the time came for remonstrances against such improvement, not a Negro remonstrated, although some will be financially affected by the proposed change, but on the contrary, they agreed their agreement in the strongest terms. The matter of housing the rough and ignorant that we have amongst us is not particularly located who are in position to know and agree and as we know from experience. We spend three thousand dollars in the Negro district, to better our investment, understand, and the condition of our tenements. We were supposed to find that the investment was successful competitors, and that the investment not only did not bring the desired income, but would hardly stand a chance to succeed. We oversaw the investment in its sanity and its sanitary condition. Property in such neighborhoods has a limited demand, therefore improvement beats the demand of the neighborhood is likely to support for a corresponding return on investment. I have carefully made a list of the real estate conditions and find that they have acquired within the period of ten years two hundred thousand dollars in lands and improvements. The initial houses of good design, and having modern conveniences. It is very hard to sell Negroes in the old "quarter district," and impossible to locate the better class homes. The Evansville Negro not only shows improvement in their home surroundings, but have already produced men of more skill and knowledge.

WILL NOT COMPEL COLLEGE TO ADMIT COLORED STUDENTS. Two colored students who were dismissed from the Grand Rapids Veterinary College some time ago, following the objection of a student, were recently denied a writ of mandamus by the Supreme Court to compel the college to release him. The court held that a private corporation could not be mandamused to compel it to fullfill obligations under a contract with an indemnity company. The lack of hardship of a particular situation is not a good reason for departing from this rule." ABANDONED HIS STORE FROM FRIGHT. Special to THE FREEMAN. Richard Sanford sold a small general store between this city and East Columbus to Frank Curry, a Negro, who had come here from Dupont, Ind. The next night he was in the store, where was slipped under his door which warned him to get out of business at once. The writer of the note said the store would be opened and the door added that "luggers were not allowed in East Colony but anyway." Curry wished to stay, but his wife became so frightened that she persuaded him to sell the place, and Sanford took it off his hands. Curry has been conceived as the author of a view to prosecuting the writer of the note. He says he knows who wrote it. LOOKING AFTER THE AMALGA MATIONISTS. "Vigilance is the price of liberty." The assertion is being exemplified right along, and in various ways. The thing, amalgamation, which is being so stubbornly opposed by the white people at this time, is an exemplification and one of the ways that vigilance is doing duty. The colored people insist that they are not seeking, out of the race alliances, but it appears that they are not being taken at their word. Within the last few weeks three cases, if not more, have been given wide publicity of supposed mixed marriages. In either, the parties most concerned have tried to show for the benefit of the inquiring public or court that they were all right—good and regular. Jack Johnson has had much trouble on the account of his new white wife. She insists that she is colored, and she ought to know. The prize fighter had to speak up and declare, as it was being made very unpleasant for him. The white people have gotten so straight on the business of mixed marriages that they are like the Indian who leaned backward in walking straight. The tendency is to include all the near-white people as colored people. It is a most excellent time for the octooroons and up to move up a peg. In Lexington, Ky., a couple was arrested; the man declared he didn't know his wife was a colored woman. He could not say, would not say that "love is blind." And, really, he did the more gallant part in his assertion, since he was in the clutches of the inexorable law, and, by the way, which is also "blind"—that is, according as she is writ. But this case was a strange one. The woman's brother preferred the charges, insisting that the white man married the colored woman for her money. The other case was a thing of vigilance; it was in one of the Southern States. The woman and man were both arrested and, possibly, spent a short time in prison. We say, again, that there is no disposition on the part of the colored people to marry white people. Incidentally, the thing will occur. But the penalty is so severe, by way of social ostracism in either race, that most of those thus inclined prefer to forego the idea rather than endure what will certainly follow in most of the States. Then there is the actual prohibition of the laws in some States, which is further discouragement. The divorce courts are too near the altar for individuals to run the risk of imprisonment for marrying contrary to the laws. DR. CRUM STILL IN EVIDENCE. It is being noised about in Washington that Dr. W. D. Crum will be cared for by a position in the Panama zone. The feeling, somehow, obtained that the doctor is entitled to some requirement because of the Charleston incident, in that he felt compelled to resign because the chances for reappointment were against him. We do not see it that Dr. Crum has anything coming to him. His case was like hundreds of others. But this does not mean that we oppose him in anything that may come to him. We think he has a right to expect consideration as other men do; not preferred claims by any means, by virtue of having held office. Good and satisfactory men go down for political reasons. Not always because partisans, but as a matter of policy, the thing that practically shut Crum out from consideration. The doctor was nobly sustained by the government, a matter worthy of note. It would be the poorest kind of policy on his part to seek office on the plea his friends set up for him. We do not think he endorses it publicly at any rate, no matter how he may view it when to himself. We will inly hope that his former relation to the government will not militate against him in the instance. XENIA, OHIO. Special to THE FREEMAN. The Lawrence. Smith is now representing The Freeman.

The Guffin-Yanger bout, to have taken place at New York, was called off. Indianapals opened the season with Toledo with a record-breaker crowd for an opening game. Frank Gotch, the champion heavyweight wrestler of the world, is a friend of Jack Johnson. He believes that Johnson is without equal. The Blacks and the Whites basketball teams of the Y. M. C. A. played at Tomlin Hall last Wednesday night. The Blacks won by a score of 15 to 4. Jimmy Clabbe, the Milwaukee middleweight will meet Unk Russell before the Phoenix Club at Memphis, Tenn., Thursday. The agreed weight is 142 pounds. The police of New York stopped the progress of an evening of boxing last week at the Olympic phlebotomie Club. Eight hundred persons had assembled there to witness the occasion. What the managers are saying: "We have the greatest team that ever represented this city." Every team will win the champion 'cause every team is better than the other—at the beginning of the season. Jim Webb, an ex-player, manager and trainer, has got the fever this year. He has umpired for the last three or four seasons. He is a good, heady, always-in-the-game player, and he has mischiefs to set a fast pace for the youngsters. "Good boy! Steady! Go down with his arm! Take your time! Hold 'em down, ol man. Watee on! He can't seat me! he's got a seat! Steal second, now; go on. Make third; it's easy, Umpire, what's t' matter with you? Call that a strike? Ah, gn' learnn't th' slide for home! Side! Slide! Heep!! Hurray! No. The fellow is not insane—it's just the night after the first game. Jack Johnson said that Ketchel and Al Kaufman had to settle a dispute between them as to what position the son's team should force the two fighters to go in the ring and decide it with the guards. Kaufman settled it by his poor showing made against Tony Ross last week. Tony defeated Kaufman on points, and as the natural result Kaufman lost the game of meeting the gentleman in Texas. GREENVILLE (TEX.) BREEZES. The Wacos, of Brazos bottoms, under the management of C. D. Drake, were here April 6 and 7 and made it very interesting for T. F. Holloway to bring the Sahara game. The first game went to the boys in yellow by a score of 8 to 4, and the second was won by Greenville in a hard-fought battle of ten innings. Jim Ferguson played great while the visitors held his supporters slammed twelve of the Waco curves. S. Chaney and B. Holloway were the stars at the bat, each making a three-base hit every time they handled the stick. The season has hardly begun, but we can see some players who will make a hit with the fans before the season nears an end. Holloway and his team played in Paris last week. The Greenville boys are open to engagements. Address Bone Stone. ECHOES FROM MERIDIAN, MISS. No city league ball. The boys are getting in shape.

BANGOR, Me—Johnny Hayes, hero of the Olympic Marathon, won a fifteen-mile race held here April 16, in which he was forced to extend himself as rarely before. He ran against a relay team. Pat Dineen, Houston, and Neary, Neark, Nutick, seven miles of miles each, and the Olympic Marathon champion won by six laps, or three-eighths of a mile. A FINISH FIGHT. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.—Stanley Ketchall, who has been matched to fight Jack Johnson for the heavyweight champion, will win the breach of promise case against Houman, of this city, in the court here. In the Circuit court yesterday his attorneys filed an answer which is a general denial of the case, and also a demand for a trial of the case. NO SUNDAY GAMES IN ST. PAUL ST. PAUL—Since George Lennon recently made the announcement that there will be no Sunday baseball in St. Paul this year, the fans have been aroused to a high point. There has been considerable regret express on all sides, says the St. Paul Dispatch. The history of the park controversy is too well known to require a review at this time, but the way things stand it looks as if the thousands of rooters who toll during the games are unable to attend the games will be obstructed to seek other recreation on the Sabath. KAUFMAN NOT IN JACK'S CLASS Johnson Laughs at His Efforts with Tony Ross, the Pennsylvania Fighter. NEW YORK—Al Kaufman, of San Francisco, who has aspirations to—the heavyweight fist championship honors, April and defeated on points Tony Ross, of New York, ten-round before the Fairmount Athletic Club. Jack Johnson, the world's champion heavyweight pugilist, was at the ringside, and laughed at the efforts of the men, apparently satisfied that no danger to his title threatened him, most earnest seeker for a bout for the championship. Kaufman, according to experts at the ringside, did not show that he was Johnson. Jim Coffroth, Cal., was a spectator. He had nothing to say about the outcome of the bout, but did say that while he had no signatures to contracts he was sure would secure a match between Johnson in the next Melo to take place some time after the last fight.

The first game scheduled is with a club from New Orleans, and will mark the opening of the ball park and Dahoney Park. The officers of the Marco baseball team are M. C.

NELSON AND McFARLAND TO MEET AT 133 POUNDS Two Lightweights Are Matched— Packey to Weigh 133 Pounds Four Hours Before Fight. CHICAGO—Packey McFarland, and Battling Nelson last week agreed to battle, after negotiations lasting a very short period, a local theater where McFarland is showing and the Dane was among the audience. Nelson was called upon by the crowd to make a speech, and he hopped upon the stage to deliver the speech, the controversy with McFarland, and only the refusal of Packey and his manager, Harry Gilmore, Jr., had prevented the proposed bout. Gilmore said he would fight bouts his rights to the pictures, and that Packey would sign to fight, winner take all.

More of Fairer Sex Should Attend Game, Thinks Mrs. F. L. Chance. CHICAGO—At the opening of the baseball season Mrs. Frank L. Chance, wife of the national champ, leader, is out in an interview describing the flight, volatile kind, but the steady, home variety—that the future of the national game depends. To prevent the game from being out of control, she only for bleachers full of men to watch, she believes that more women should occupy seats in the grandstand. To prevent a stroke bridge whist and pink tea, soft cushions and kimonos, and turn out to watch the clean-up, there would be more roboiness and fair-minded sex," Mrs. Chance said. "If women would only come out and expand their lungs to the fresh air by 'rooting' for the home where would be less work for the doctors. LADIES' DAY AT WASHINGTON PARK.

Several women will be set aside for women fans, but the custom has been completely abolished in some cities. On Friday at Washington Park two women may accompany a man who is attending a game, they enter the grandstand on a 25-cent ticket. SOUTH ATLANTIC AND SOUTHERN LEAGUES. MEMPHIS, Tenn.—The baseball race in two leagues in Southern States has started. The South Atlantic League begins its seven consecutive games, the par-organization in Dixie, begins its ninth season under favorable conditions. Judge William Kavanaugh, the Southern president, in his forecast, predicts that the league will be the best it will witness the games. The managers include several former major league players who have secured berths in the minors, including Charles Babb at Memphis, Charlie Mobile at Birmingham, Ed Greminger at Montgomery, Billy Smith at Atlanta, M. J. Finn at Little Rock, Carlton Molesworth at Birmingham, and Bill Hernhard at Nashville. The lineup changed that no one will pick the favorite. The umpires for the Southern League are Rudderham, Carpenter and Moran, former National League officials; Pfeninger, inmons and Jack O'Brien, of Eastern circuit. The opening games will witness Montgomery at Nashville, Birmingham at Atlanta, Larry Rock, the final game. The schedule calls for 140 games.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER wrestler than Goth ever lived or ever will live. The "Terrible Turtle" was so far from terrible to the brawny Iowa that the bout would have been a great show. Goth simply toyed with his opponent, and just seventeen minutes and ten seconds after the men went on the mat the American had won two matches, a reverse victory and two championship of the world. A croch tilt and half nelson served to dispose of the Turk the first time, after eight minutes of wrestling, and a reverse victory and two second time in nine minutes and ten seconds. Goth apparently did not think it necessary to try his famous toe hold once. Just before the match, he appeared without shoes, on condition that he forfeit $500 of the purse. After the bout several hundred enthusiastic fans rushed upon the mat and carried Goth out on the mat. "I had him beaten when I laid my hands on him," said Goth afterward. "He is a strong fellow, but I am stronger, and know more about the sport." Aside from stating that Goth was the best man he had ever met, the Turk had no remarks to make. He will go to Bulbous, in the hope of securing a return match. HOW WRESTLERS COMPARE. Gotch. Mahmoutt. 31 years. Age. 25 years in. Height. 5 feet. 200 pounds. Weight. 198 pounds 76% inches.

It is understood that Johnson made up his mind as soon as at Ketchel beat Jack O'Brien that a bout with the wonderful man would draw more money in California than he did in New York or Langford, Jeffries being eliminated from the calculations altogether. Coffroth, too, from the moment he planned to put Johnson into the ring at Colma next fall,figured that he would have who has an army of followers on the coast. Coffroth, in promoting big fights, has acted from a sentimental point of view, and he has been a friend of Kaufman and Delaney, he says that for purely business reasons he decided some time ago that Ketchel was a better drawing card than Kaufman, giving Kaufman the advantage and Jack (Twin) Sullivan drew less than $4,000 in a twenty-five-round bout at Colleen's boxed to more than $12,000. Johnson, reassured that Kaufman is not the fighter that Delaney says he is, showed no hesitation in accepting the match with Ketchel. Kaufman's round rounds is due to Johnson. Forty-five rounds has come to be known as the regular championship rank. Britt and Coffroth tried to show Johnson that forty-five rounds would mean a round affair, but he would not. Britt and Coffroth argued loud and long in an effort to show Johnson that forty-five rounds would mean $10,000 more receipts, but the champion would not give in. He said twenty rounds were plenty, and anyhow he reasons for not wanting to sign up for forty-five. No referee was agreed upon, but a provision in the articles says that the official must be selected fifteen days before the match, and the referee must be split upon a basis to be agreed upon by the principals. Both men agreed to be in San Francisco a month before the battle, and under the agreement must submit to the referee the mites, to be put on to the satisfaction of the official physician at reasonable times. The articles also provide that the fighters can wear soft bandages or fingerless gloves, and the mites, to be put on to the satisfaction of the official physician at reasonable times. Johnson and Ketchel met for the first time in three years during the matchmaking business. Ketchel did not intend to be on hand, but he was summoned by Bristol and was downed town from the Bartholdi Hotel. "Til beat him, sure," said Ketchel. "I know he can't hurt me, and furthermore he can't keep away from me like O'Brien. He's in the body, and I will bring Johnson down so I can knock his head off. When I get into the ring Tl scale at 175, or perhaps I will have more than five months in which to now, for that matter, and find it a handicap to reduce to the middleweight limit." Johnson declared that Ketchel would be KANSAS CITY, KAN., THE MECCA IN BASEBALL. The Kansas City (Kan.)

Sir Harry Johnson, a British colonial administrator, who recently visited America, and especially the Southern States, has given out his views regarding the race of African Americans in the home. The Englishman, in company with Booker T. Washington and other men of note, visited a number of localities of the South where the Negroes live in consideration of their status along the line of work in which he is engaged. His observations, which are noted in the London Times, will be interesting to the American Negroes and to the American Negroes of the South, one who has had to do with mixed racial conditions in other fields. He says: "The Negro is destined to be nothing but a hewer of wood and a drawer of wood. He is very scary. He elicited, ignorant white Southern politician utters orally and in the press. Fortunately, there are many thousand sane, educated, far-sighted white men and women in the South who know better. And all of them are Negro doctors, electricians, botanists, agronomists, musicians, poets, preachers, teachers, lawyers, architects, masons, cabinet-makers, mechanicians, and doctors, giving the lie to this worn-out expression. The writer, it will be observed, expresses himself with much vigor; he is none the less vigorous when he attempts to fix the mischief of all the trouble. He has it as follows: "It is the Southern white man and woman, who is more than the Negro. The far-fetching, magnificently modern culture of the Northern and Northeastern States needs no praise from me; and have no persona expert, who is better. But the fine, fierce of intelligence which, of course, is present in individuals all over the South and Center, I must confess I was astonished at the childish ignorance, manifested by the press and on the platform, which characterizes the South and Central States in all matters but those diathetically concerning the borough or the plantation. And it is a self-satisfied ignorance that affords the affairs of Europe, Asia, Africa, Asia and America of no importance to the citizens of America. It is this narrow, eminently provincial intellect (often unhappily permeating State affairs) Federal Congress and Senate) that entitle the erotile and exacerbation over the Negro to over any general, far-reaching proposition, such as plans for the preservation of forests, the improvement of internal waterways, the intelligent conduct of State, Federal and foreign affairs." "When the South closes down all state discussion of that indefensible Civil War and matches the physical beauty and vigor of white population with an equally high degree of education, the lem in the United States will be finally solved and kept in a state of solution—assuming, of course, that the Negro likecomes to advance on the lines laid down by the colored teachers of Tuskegee and Hamilton. Other London papers have seen fit to comment on the views of Sir Henry Johnson, in that through the views of English scholars, in through the views of English scholars, in through the views of English scholars, in some extent set forth. The Spelatator so says, "Sir Harry Johnson, who as administrator and scientific observer has watched the Negro carefully in Africa, tells us that the assumption by the Southern States of the success of the process proposition' is based on no just evidence any kind, that it is in fact wild prejudice, and that the effect of civilized surroundings on the American Negro is a recognizability of the type of type in America has higher moral and intellectual faculties than the original stock to be found in Africa, and these might easily be made higher still by humane and moral treatment. The conclusion is of course, only in accordance with the long-established feelings and beliefs of Englishmen, but it is a satisfaction to have them encouraged and confirmed by so confident a witness at Sir Harry Johnson." From all accounts the English people are yea broad and tolerant in their views on the negro question. It is certainly gratifying that country has an honorable group of the dark races where the humane principle will be carried out if the principle holds true. Sir Harry Johnson expresses uselessly unquenchable, without reserve taking the light, that he have a right to be accorded the treatment they deserve. The Times has it that President Roosevelt has seen out the correct views, and which I follow. In bringing in about the hoped for. It says: "If we are to accept the views of President Roosevelt as an expression of the best opinion in the United States, the American people are fellow citizens not only according to the guidance of history, but also according to the light of conscience. The Negro problem cannot not be narrowed down into a political issue, but it is also a moral issue. It is also a moral issue." RECEIPT THAT CURES WEAK MEN-FREE.
