THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER INDIANAPOLIS VOLUME XXII NUMBER 25 TARIFF BILL STILL ON ITS WEARY WAY IN SENATE HIGHER COST OF LIVING NOT WANTED By Consumers—Liberia Now of Much Concern to America—J. H. Deveaux Dead at Savannah Major Lynch Reports for Duty. Special by Thompson's National News Bureau WASHINGTON, D. C., June 16—The tariff bill is dragging its weary way through the Senate, and although a vote is probed enough to hazard a prediction as to the kind of a measure that the majority will bring forth. The followers of Senator Aldrich are fiercely high-minded—out-Dingley is attitudinal Digley bill of the McKinley Regime—while the "progressives," led by Senators Breveridge, LaFollette, Cummer and the rest, are "revision downward," promised with such solemnity by the Republicans from every stump in the last presidential campaign. It is clear that President Taft regards the tariff as a necessary measure, and it will surprise no one if he should return the bill with a veto if it does not appear to be in keeping with the compact of the Constitution, perhaps last fall. How far the "ultimate consumer" is to be benefited by any kind of a bill that Congress is likely to pass is not clear. If some effort is not made to lower the cost of the necessities of life, the party responsible for the perpetuation of a revenue system that makes the rich man pay more taxes, and the rich man holding the hold of the grasping monopolies upon the throats of the masses will find itself under an explanation, when it next meets with the president, the black man has a vital interest in a revision of the tariff downward, for he is essentially a consumer, and all increases in the cost of the grasping monopolies heavily upon him. Though Republican to the core, the sympathies of our people are strongly with the Beveridges, the LaFollette, and the supporter of the tariff, and the hope is very generally expressed that this group of real statesmen will "win out in the end. If the stand of the Democratic Party is supposed to that finally reserves the White House President Taft will earn for himself a warm place in the hearts of his Negro constituents by promptly voicing it. The announcement that Bishop E. W. Lampton and family had been forced to leave their home in Greenville, Miss., on some compilations growing out of the refinement of the family, phone operators to address Miss Lampton by the title usually accorded to young men, came as a shock to their many friends and to the town where Bishop Lampton has a multitude of important interests in his native state, and a muried leave-taking would spell distress to the Bishop and his family. Stringer Masons, a prominent factor in the Masonic Benefit Association and a leader of the Old Fellows, besides being the predecessor of the Bishop and his family may return to Greenville and Mississippi. The belief is general that the matter has been exaggerated by the press and that an adjustment will be reached by the Bishop and his family may return to Greenville and enjoy the respect and confidence of the best whites of the entire South and it is believed that a temporary misunderstanding will be needed to embarrass him for any considurable prize. Mr. Edward C. Smith, special messenger to Secretary of the Johnson accompanied his chief to the Greenville month to investigate at first hand the conditions surrounding the digging of the waterway waterway. He was delighted with the successful endeavor being made and was not a little surprised and gratified to find so many New England working faithfully and drawing good wages in the highest engineer Goethals speaks in the work, says Mr. Smith, and pronounces the fact that they are idle, shiftless and unreliable. The deepest Dr. Mr. Smith has traveled extensively and ample experience and is a keen observer of current events. He is filling the bill in order of the Secretary of War and enjoys the confidence of all with whom he has dealings. mings. Dr. C. W. Childs, one of Washington's known practitioners and public spirted citizens, has returned from Philadelphia, he participated in the dedicatory exercise he conducted in Connecticut, the $10,000 Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital, of which Dr. N. F. Mossell is occasioned and surgeon-in-chief. On this occasion, of the Keystone State's foremost men of the state, were present, among them being Senate President Dr. Roosevelt; State Treasurer Sheats, Dr. Roosevelt; former Congressman George F. White; Emory Perry and others. A proof of the pride taken in the state at large is found in the legislature not long ago granted to the appropriation of $60,000. The sum of $60,000 had been subscribed by the colored members fully $2,500 were realized. Dr. Childs delivered two telling addresses and heard him impress upon all who heard him describing the progress of the race and the progress from the Frederick Douglass Hospital kindred institutions, he said we are rapidly annihilating the dismal prophecies made with the pessimists who predicted that the Negro will race pace with the times if given his freedom and the right of citizenship. Dr. Childs announced audience t o the highest pitch of enthusiasm, he said, with a pathos almost dramatic: all remember John T. Morgan, Abbasah's veteran Senator and supposed logician of the first water. You will rec call his disgust at the idea of clothing the JUN 18 1909 Th death of Collector J. H. Deveaux, of Savannah, Ga., is likewise regrettable. Col. Deveaux was well known in Washington and was looked upon as a leader of the country, and always had the car of the administration from McKinley's time down to the present. He had held the Savannah collectorship for upwards of twelve years and had been in the customs service in the country, and had given in every capacity complete satisfaction. At one time he was the ranking military officer in Georgia and was at the head of the Republican state central committee, and he had executive ability accumulated a goodly share of this world's goods. It is stated by the wise-acres in eGorgia that the vacancy in the collectorship will probably be filled by Leaken, a white name, whose name has been mentioned frequently in concession with the office. At the regular monthly meeting of the Washington branch of the National Negro Business League Monday night at True West, unanimously re-elected president for the ensuing year and his administration was eulogized by the organization. The other officers chosen were as follows: First vice president, H. H. Underdow; second vice president A. H. Underdow; recording secretary, Charles H. Hemans; corresponding secretary, George F. Collins; treasurer, Joseph Manning; chaplain, Rev. J. E. Manning; commissioner, John W. Lewis. A committee headed by R. W. Thompson was appointed to arrange for a monster public meeting in July, at which he was sworn in and stalled. The following delegates were elected to represent the League at the Louisville convention in August: J. A. Lankford, J. A. Cobb, R. P. Thompson, Joseph Manning, B. J. Bolling, Thomas L. Jones, Henry E. Baker, Joseph Manning, J. B. Anderson, Ralph H. Hawkins, Daniel Freeman, George F. Collins, A. H. Underdow, Edward H. Lawson. League is in an unusually prosperous condition and now has a handsomely gotten up monthly organ known as the Negro Business League Herald. Major John R. Lynch, paymaster in the United States Army, has been ordered to report to the commanding officer at San Antonio July, August, and Lankra ranks twelfth among the major in the staff of disbursing officers of the army, and has been in the volunteer and regular service since 1838. He left Manila, P. I., to the United States, eH has to his credit a total foreign service of four years, seven onths and ten days. Lieut. Benjamin O. Davis, who has been visiting relatives here, has gone to Wilberforce University to attend the commencement of his military training at that institution. He is to be succeeded in the fall by Lieut. E. Green, who comes from the Philippines. Lieut. E. Green is instructed to the First separatist Battalion District National Guard at the encampment and maneuvers in August, after which he will be stationed at Fethan Ethan Allen, Vermont. Prof. Richard Theodore Greene, one of the ablest men of the race—the typical scholar in the Philippines, the Henry Cabot Lodge of the Negro community of the District Columbia and of the legal business. Prof. Greene is now located in Chicago, and has built up quite a lucrative law practice. The Professor held secrecy responsible for positions under the government of the District Columbia and was among the early principals of the Washington High School. He was secretary of the Grant Museum and affairs of the great museum. He made an affair to be vaulted in the United States consul at Vladivostok, Russia, serving with distinction in that capacity during the trying Russo-Japanese war. Prof. Greene was a Republican party in the last campaign, and it is not unlikely that President Taft will again draw upon his splendid abilities for the public service. "Tag week" brought a neat sum to the coffers of the Social Settlement Work. Miss Eloise Bibb and her enthusiastic co-ordinator, the Negro are entitled to great credit for their self-sacrificing albors. Dr. H. W.

The gosips say there may be a change in the principalship of the M Street High School, and the Taylor school bent, Prof. W. T. S. Jackson, should be retired, the names of Messrs. Nelson E.Whetherless and Garnett C. Wilkinson are mentioned as possible candidates for the place. Fourteen of the twenty-six young men who took the recent State Department examination are the position of secretary, and the only eligible for appointment. None of the applicants are colored. It is said that there are to be about a dozen appointments soon to be filled. The tests are said to be very difficult and it is noticeable that lately no Negro has been successful in getting through with sufficient standing to place him on the eligible list. It is possible wherever a Negro min- ister is assigned, and osmebody who knows all about commercial law, two or three languages, ancient and modern history, the science of diplomacy, etc., ought to get busy and make a "touch-down" for one or more of these posts. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of the Board of Education, is delivering a series of commencement addresses. Among the institute's graduates are the High School at Cavannah, Ga., the High School at Cairo, Ill., the Agricultural and Normal School at Covington, Ky. She returns to Washington in time to attend the Normal School, the High School and the Normal Schools.

Francis presented the lovely book, *The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ* church. Mrs. Francis deserves a great deal of praise for her uniting efforts to place the organ in the church. It was through her that the church was built. She carried all the way to New York and had a personal interview with Mr. Carnegie's representative, and came back with the promise of the donation to the church. She raised the amount of over $3,800. With the beautiful interior decorations and the new stained glass windows, Pilgrim is the nest of the church. Mrs. J. E. Murphy entertained Dr. E. S.

Special by Thompson's National News Bureau. CHICAGO. Ill.-The eminent surgeon, Dr. George C. Hall, of 1012 State street, has returned where he has added new laurels to his brow, both as a demonstrator in clinical surgery as as an author of practical suggestions for the betterment of the general moral and physical health of his country, to interact the tendency of the Negro toward tubercular trouble, how to improve the hygienic conditions that surround our people in city and country life and how to eat, dring and dress to make the race more capable of surviving in the modernization, were among the topics upon which he placed the greatest emphasis. It is not doubled, from the enthusiasm which his remarks and practical illustrations generated, that his visit will prove of inestimable benefit to all with whom he Dr. Hall went primarily to 'the Southland to attend the meeting of the Alabama State Medical Association at Selma, opened on Saturday, the day of the sessions of this learned body, he held surgical clinics daily at the sanitarium of Dr. L. L. Burwell and attracted much favorable comment at the hands of the skilled professional men of both races. From Selma, the medical school, Dr. L. L. Burwell the sanitarium of Drs. Attaway and Miller he performed a number of private operations, Jackson, Miss., was his next stop, where he attended the sessions of the Mississippi State Medical School, a highly instructive surgical clinic. Going to Aniston, Ala., by special invitation, he addressed the Barber Seminary for Girls on "Hygiene in the Household". Proceeded to Aniston, Ala., where universally popular, Dr. Hall visited and addressed Morris Brown College and Clark University, and was handsomely entertained by the Monday Club, Atlanta's largest social club, of which Col. H. A. Rucker, Collector of Internal Revenue, Prof. W. E. B. Duois, Prof. W. H. Crogman, of Clark University, Bishop Gaines, Prof. John Hope, of the Atlanta Baptist College, Drs. Proctor, Butler, and others prominent members. At Augusta, Dr. Hall was the especial guest of the eGorgia State Medical Association of Colored Physicians, Dentists and Surgeons in the deliberations of that body, which, under the leadership of Dr. George N. Stoney, of Augusta, brought together the members of the professives of the Escouplain art, besides many laymen of the most progressive type. By invitation of the eGorgia Association, in conjunction with Dr. G. S. Burrus and Dr. Hall, he gave an unusually valuable demonstration of the latest and most improved methods in surgery. During the series of clinics over twenty cases were operated on, and the results were required requiring the utmost care and skill. Ten were on different parts of the body, and while not essentially dangerous, brought great satisfaction to the investigator and required surgical ability of hte highest order. Some of the cases were quite simple, yet gave an experience that made them worth the effort. Dr. harper, ex- "It has been the writer's privilege to see the best surgeon's, both white and colored, of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Providence, and to have etherized for many of them; but I have never seen any one more conscientious and skilful in the use of the knife than George C. Hall, of Chicago, for fainless and in many wounds original." The annual visits of Dr. Hall to the Southland has made his name familiar to the masses and classes alike and his service is to be done in the line of expert surgery. His very presence is an inspiration to the younger members of the professional institutions from South Carolina and numerous places in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida to open infirmaries, to establish hospitals and to offer medical fraternity can build permanently and effectively. He has agreed to officiate at the opening of a big hospital in Atlanta next December. He will be the service for the colored medics of the South—opening up new avenues for the development of our most promising professional training. He will be thoroughfare to health at a cost that is within the reach of the humblest. Although utilizing no brass bands to herald his work, Dr. Hall is a genuine benefactor of the medical community. He merited the right way to place struggling humanity on the royal road that leads inevitably to success. He will be in Biston to attend the annual meeting of the National Medical Association, and give that prosperous association the benefit of some of the more recent revelations in major surgery and in the management of hospitals. HONOR SUPREME HEADS HONOR SUPREME HEADS Splendid Ovation Given by the K. of P. to Officers By W. G. Moseley. From the time that S. W. Green, Supreme Vice-Chancellor of John W. Strauthers, Supreme Vice-Chancellor, arrived in the city of St. Louis the morning of June 1 until they left Kansas City the Thursday night following their visit, they were not nothing but a sightseeing tour. Upward arrival in St. Louis these distinguished guests were met by a committee of prominent Pythians and Calantheans, and after sight-seeing tour, after having wined and dined in a most sumptuous manner, the visitors were placed aboard a Missouri Grand Chancellor A. W. Ward, who fonded them safely in Kansas City Tuesday morning. Here at the Union Station the parade was held, reception committee, and tally-hanging musicians, under the escort of Major B. E. Watkins and staff, of the Third Missouri Battalion. They were driven through the Woods, where an excellent breakfast was served. C. K. Robinson, of St. Louis, Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, also accompanied them while General R. R. Jackson had come from Chicago direct. After breakfast came a trip to the camp grounds; then luncheon, followed by an extensive sightseeing tour in motor cars and tally-ho. The entire afternoon was spent in showing the city's attractive park and boulevard system and other points of interest. The officers were visited, railroad facilities investigated, Convention Hall viewed—in fact the Supreme Officers were given an opportunity to relate relative to Kaiser City's attractiveness as a drawing center, as well as its ability to care for such a momentous gathering as the approaching Python Conductors. We were told that the elements broke out in an electric storm about 8 o'clock with a fury which seemed as if the god of thunder meant to gather the aqueous vapor from the four rivers of the city. City in a spiteful effort to wipe the metropolis off the map, the reception at Lyric Hall was a brilliant success, the hall being a manly, manly, manly, members of the order, its friends and inquisitive citizens, all anxious to meet and grasp the hands of our Supreme Officers and bed them godspeed in the city, and be doing for the moral lift of the race. Later in the evening Chairman Crews introduced Sir Green for a few remarks. He was a man of great wisdom, hood of Missouri, based, as he stated, upon the cordial greetings and most courteous treatment which had been showered upon him, two leading metropoles of the State. To our friends of Alabama gave high praise, stating that from what he had witnessed he adjudged them energetic, high-minded, noble specimens of mankind.

Notwithstanding the absence of one past the half-century mark, his voice is of a ringing quality, forceful and clear, his sentences clean cut, his paragraphs well rounded, his logic concise and his sense of humor as full of grace and dignity as a Japanese diplomat. When asked if he had not held down a chair of pedagogy in one of our universities, he replied in the negative. But he said: "I was for twenty-eight years associated with my father in the mercantile business, and I succeeded to succeed himself, with a smile he said: "In 1890 I was a candidate for Congress from the Fifth Louisiana District. My opponent used to have a great deal of business, and he has been a Python twenty-six years, chairman of Committee on Finance, Supreme Worthy Counsellor two and one-quarter years, has been a Stark as Supreme Chancellor. When asked what he thought of the outlook for the race generally, he said: "Despite the surroundings in my State, they are making themselves acquaintance and they are acquiring property, and that is the most hopeful sign." SIR JOHN W. STRAUTHER. Sir Strauther as a boy was an off bearer of brick; as a youth, a porter in a store; a drayman as a man; then an undertaker, and later he organized and established the Delta Savings Bank of Greenville, Miss., of which he is president. For eleven years he was a member of the Mississippi Grand Lodge, the receipts of which annually are more than $120,000. SIR C. K. ROBINSON Sir C. K. Robinson, of our own jurisdiction, is Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, a position which he has held with signal success under three administrations, and which he has always for advancement, and was the originator of our present system of endowment, which has been so eminently successful in this State that it has been called the "Keeper of Records."

Harry McCubbiel, agents CHICAGO'S GREATEST SHOW. Riverview Exposition Surpasses All World's Records in Attendance. Chicago's latest and the world's greatest show up to date, RIVERVIEW EXPOSITION, is today breaking all crowd records in this city of multitudes. The attendance of the famous World's Fair is elapsed. A million persons visited the exposition the first few days of its opening. By daylight, opening day, a multitude gathered at the massive main gates. They came out of the city on street cars; from the country by trains; from all polls of the compass foot; on horseback, in automobiles, carriages, electric, elevated and steam railways and by boat. State street sent thousands of richly attired beautiful women in picture hats and gowns, the factory settlements linger in the monsoon, equally light the busy marts' portly business men in autos, slender clerks, their wives and children, carry their bags, and the children in merry troops, shouting and laughing, aristocrats from the boulevards, and workingmen in holiday attire, heart-hearted, expectant children, swarmed by driveways, turnstiles and even over the white walls eager to view the marvels of the great exposition. The trains stood a fleet of electric launches, steamers, big excursion boats, sailing craft and rowboats, all gaily flying bunting and flags, laden with joyous crowds, whose noises of merriment mingled with the music of many bands. All day the vast concourse of shouting men, women, and children passed into the grounds. They were confronted with an endless revelation of architectural, scenic and natural splendor in theaters, pavilions, courtyards, midways, sculptures, exhibition buildings, art and industrial halls, casinos, concert stadiums for great military bands and orchestras, causeways, boulevards, waterways and gleaming white tassellated Turreted and dazzling in their beauty the buildings form snow white avenues and fringe the shores of diamond lakes. The buildings form a series of snow fountains of crystal waters by day and opalescent mists of green, purple, orange and hellotrope by night. The mile square center of marvelously of marvelous stone lit lilies of Carraara marble in the emerald heart of groves, forestry and flower plats. Chicago is ever surpassing its own achievement, and it will build another spectacular splendor as Riverview Exposition. Your Clothes for Business Wear should be purposely selected.

Ward With Training School for Nurses at the Hoosier Capital. A newly instituted enterprise, in which Indianapolis people should take special pride, is the Ward Santilarium and Nurses' school, which is being operated by Dr. Joseph C. Known colored physician of Indianapolis, the santilarium is located in the residence property at Indiana avenue, which has a large area, is adjoining, both of which are admirably designed, and poses for which they are being used. Its capacity is seventeen rooms, with operat- 1900 1 HOTEL DR. WARD'S SANITARIUM ing room, preparation room and sterilizing room. The operating room is finished with white tide floor and white enameled walls, with a large and well-equipped equipment for practical surgery. There are also rooms in which may be accommodated at one time more than a dozen patients, and the large and well-equipped equipment for practical surgery. There are kinds of operative surgical cases or of medicinal cases other than contagious diseases, and the large number of patients requiring surgical care. The Sanitarium, and the growing number of applicants, indicate the quality of service given. It is also the only institution of the kind in the State operated by colored women. The entire plant is lighted by electricity and heated by steam. He also has, besides the electric baths are furnished. The entire plant is lighted by electricity and heated by steam. He also has, besides the electric baths are furnished. In connection with the Sanitarium, a Training School for Colored Nurses is being operated, which offers a distinct advantage to colored women seeking to attend the training. The branch of the project meets a popular demand is indicated by the large number of women and girls throughout the State. The training school will be admitted to all lectures, examinations, demonstrations and observations given the Nurses' Training Classes at the hospital, if possible. The nurses required to pass the examinations examine the nurse students at the hospital, which will be given by the state examining board, who will award their license, which will be given to the nurses. This will enable its holder to be placed on an equality with the graduates of the best schools for trained nurses. This provides a long step toward furnishing the women with the means of service employment. Dr. Ward is peculiarly qualified to direct such enterprises as he has undertaken, having in addition to a good education (becoming a doctor) had special opportunities to gain not only a theoretical but a practical experience in medicine and surgery. He was for 12 years a member of the Philo Medical College of Indianapolis, being a member of his household, during which time he took a course in the medical profession in 1897, after practicing two years he took a full course in the Indiana eMical College, after which he went to New York City and took a post course in surgery. He was a member of the Medical Association and president of the Indiana Association of Negro Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists. During his professional career in this city he has been a professor of the medical profession, white physicians of the city. The writer of this sketch, who has known Dr. Ward for a number of years and knows of his efforts to master his chosen profession, he had made upon the men of high standing in the medical profession, with whom he had been brought in contact, so that he expresses his gratitude. He had made upon the men of high standing in the medical profession, with the following result: Dr. Edmund Clark, president of the City Board of Health, said: "I have been a member of the Medical Association, Dr. Ward, at T22 Indiana avenue, and find it to be an excellent institution. The rooms are all good sized, clean, well lighted and ventilated. The operating room is modern in design and is equipped with the necessary tools to take surgical or medical cases to this institution for treatment." Dr. W. N. Wishard, who is recognized as one of the leading physicians and surgeons in the country, has shown commendable enterprise in establishing a good sanitarium for colored nurses in his purpose to maintain a training school for colored nurses in connection with his sanitarium. It is a distinct edu- tunity for young colored women to obtain THE EXAMINATION CABINET THE MEDICAL CENTER 1 DR. WARD'S OPERATING ROOM an education in the profession of nursing which has proved a useful as well as lucrative occupation for white women." Dr. Thomas B.

I regard him as highly capable and trustworthy, and he should receive the support such an effort deserves." Dr. David R. Ross, who stands high in the profession, said: "I regard Dr. Joseph H. Ward as an exceptionally proficient physician and surgeon, and after having completed his training, I found him thoroughly painting and reliable. The new enterprises he is under- MIDDLEBURY taking will enable him to prove his worth to the community and particularly to his race." Dr. George R. Cook, the well-known surgeon of Raleigh, the well-known Dr. Joseph H. Ward for some have been associated with him in cases of delicate surgery, have found him careful, and have been the man to be entrusted with important cases. B. B. M. B. have also been placed in a position to know of his methods in the general practice of medicines, which, I would say, equal the best." Special to THE FREEMAN.

THE WORKSHOP DELHI, O. AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL The Brownsville court of inquiry is industriously poring over and mentally digesting the 6,900 printed pages of testifying evidence in an investigation into the celebrated "shootout" Texas town. Meetings are held once each week, with the full board of five reeve each present for consultation and interchange in the adjournment for the summer will be had before further testimony will be taken in October, when the discharged soldiers will be appear in person and clear themselves of any evidence lodged against them. Of the 167 dismissed, three have died, and of the remaining 164, all but seven can be quickly identified. Of the 167 dismissed from New York, and Napoleon Bonaparte Maillah, of this city, are working hard to 100 THE LIBRARY get the defense in shape, and say that by the time the court resumes in October the defense will be ready for their evidence ready for submission. Although there seems to be no eagerness to re-enlist, the battleto re-enlist, it is likely that the vindication and the attraction of the back pay will inspire practically every man to conduct the defense, and conduct of the men has been, for the most M. part, beyond criticism, and the majority have been working steadily at some useful calling. The decision of the court of inquiry will be final. The military ex-commissioned, appointed, body, men, and Attorneys Stewart and Marshall express themselves as confident that the soldiers will be given a "square deal." Generals Young, Sanger, Pearson, and Swan are above race prejudice, they say, and with Capt. C. k. Howard, a law professor at the University, will be brought out without bias toward one side or the other. President Taft is 1 THE CHEMISTRY CABIN determined that nothing shall enter the case save the law and the evidence, and he will not be swerved by Negro-haters nor by interested agitators. This has been an unusually prosperous year for the colored public schools of Washington. Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, with the active sympathy and co- THE LIBRARY SECTION OF LIBRARY.

Prof. Bruce has exhibited executive ability of the most pronounced character, and while genial and helpful, he has made to understand that he means business; and nothing but business. He has himself to be the right man in the right place, and he vindicated the wisdom of those who recommended his appointment. The High School Cadets now number five in companies, instead of four, and next year in six, and he will for action, if the present ratio of increase in the attendance of boys is kept up. Prof. Bruce says that pupils to the number of 414 may be promoted to the M Street High School and the Armstrong Technical High School beginning with the September 11th.

Arrangements are to have one of the most elaborate commencement in the history of the local school, the musical, oratorical and floral features far exceeding those of any previous graduating night. Attorney Gilchrist Stewart has returned to New York. The "Wilberforcians" gave an enjoyable outing to Washington Park last Saturday. Ashbury M. E. Church, Rev. M. W.

Three thousand of Washington's elite saw the Normal School No. 2's production of "The Meteamorphosis of Wuef" on the campus of Howard University Monday night. Messrs. Walter A. and Bismarck R.

The colored delegates to the National Conference on Government and Collections at Buffalo this week are Prof. George Liam cook, of the Board of Charities, and Dr. John R.

Board, for a long time connected with the government service, has resigned to give his full time to the large pharmaceutical establishment he has built as his senior member of the firm of Board & McGuire, 19121-2 14th street, northwest. Mr. Ernest R. Gather of New Jersey, has been promoted to $600 an annum in the office of the Commission of Internal Revenue, and Mr. W. E. Hope, of the same state, has been comfortably installed in the office of the Attorney General. The plum tree is bearing promising fruit. Hon. W. H.

The report that Prof. Amphias H. Glenn, of M Street High School, is under consideration for Minister to Haiti, is not concerned with the republicans. Republicans are after the scalp of Register W. T. Vernon and possibly other Negro burueau chiefs over Southern white men and women, appears to be without foundation hereabouts, and the penchant for "drawing the long bow" is provoking strong.

It is expected that he will become the Business manager of the Christian Reformed university the untrammed field of journalism and independent sociological research to the restricted avenue of teaching or preaching.

Flags were seen everywhere. W. N. Harding has a fine line of indorsement for mayor, anyhow. Some of the best citizens are supporting him. If the chief of police had an idea he was going to kick up such a rumpus, he would have taken a second thought. A bath house costing $25,000 was a gift to the colored people of Baltimore by Mr. Henry Walters, a wealthy capitalist. Chicago leads off with a real cooking school; it will cost $300,000, and will be devoted wholly to the industrial science. About the 22d the sun will begin to retire to his other home round about old Capricornus, and vision of winter will begin to flit. Another batch of graduates is now on, looking around in the real world. A reunion a year from date would be an interesting meet. The Roosevelt party has been very successful so far—only one man injured. The report from the animals is something terrible. The tariff battle will be fought to a finish today. Senator Aldrich has things well in hand, but hopes of routing him are entertained. Lew Shank calls himself the people's candidate. Shank understands the art of talking. If he can manage to see all the people it will help him in a big way. Where was brother DuBois amidst all of the great to do? Surely the high priest of the other cult has not seen occasion to forsake his wonted ways. A white girl was arrested on a charge of lunacy in Columbus, O., because she wanted to marry a colored man. May be it was because of the class of the fellow. Judge Wendell Phillips Stafford, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, is against Northern indifference and Southern injustice as it concerns the colored man. Of the four colored regiments, three of them have colored men at the head of their bands. This policy was adopted by ex-President Roosevelt at the suggestion of colored men. Plenty of animals left after which lodges may be named by colored men. Some are rather suggestive, for instance zebra, with his stripes, but the woods are filled with others. The Indianapolis School Board made an appreciable advance in the teachers' salaries. The pay for the future will compare more favorably with that of other cities of the same size. The commencement at Tuskegee was a great and impressive affair. Two hundred and fifty individuals were sent out to battle in the world they have heard about since they prattled at their mothers' knees. These are bright days and cheerful. June is up to her reputation for rare days. They want to be enjoyed while passing, since they are followed by two months of weather that's anything else than June weather. The farmer is all smiles in these prospective days. 'Tis June, that most rare month when he that hath labored with the knowledge and the understanding may pause a moment, take survey of the bountiful promise. So now we have the Independent Political League, born at Columbus, O., a few weeks ago. It is a very satisfactory name, since it bespeaks the sense of the organization. Good luck to it, with the proviso that it comes clean. The luscious watermelon used to reach us just in time for the 4th of July. In these days it gets here about the 4th of June, just a month ahead of the old schedule. Evidently they are stirring up things in the watermelon region. Robert Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, is sixty-six years old. On his re- cent visit to Hodgeville, Ky., with the intention of visiting the farm on which his illustrious father was born, he became so ill that he could not make the visit. Mr. Lincoln feared it was paralysis. He is at the head of the Pullman Car Company. A Negro in Pennsylvania says he will run for President of the United States. He says that he will do away with all the ceremonies of the White House. He will accept no salary—merely allow the people to defray his legitimate expenses. He is a hod-carrier, and says in the event he becomes hard up he will follow his trade for a few days. He evidently was born in the dark of the moon. The new independent movement, the outgrowth of the Columbus convention, can become a good, honorable, useful thing if it will. The past of such movements has not been so savory, but that's no reason the future should not be hopeful. If such men as those found at the head of the organization cannot keep the organization true to its purpose, then we despair of the integrity of race men. Mr. Washington says: "Not in religion, not in politics, not in higher education lies the race solution of the race problem, but in business." Nothing truer ever uttered. And the same applies to the white people. Those without material prosperity have their "ups and downs" also. Such being the case, the Negroes will not escape the general law. Really, they will find that industrialism—business—is their best hope. Nothing will be wholly efficacious, but material prosperity is the greater force. Western University has closed another year of splendid work under the direction of its distinguished president, Dr. W. T. Vernon, ably assisted by the acting president, Shelton French, and an excellent faculty, and bids fair under the experienced leadership of Bishop Abram Grant, the president of its Trustee Board, to become the most famous Negro school in the West. Thirty-one students were graduated this year, the largest class in the history of the university, and a class of exceptional ability at that. There was an enrollment of nearly 300 students this year which promises to increase to 400 next year, indicating that the wholesome Christian and industrial instruction given at this school meets the hearty approval of the Negroes of the West. Success to Western University!—Kansas City Sun. John Sharp Williams, in discussing the race situation at the commencement exercises of the University of Nebraska, said that his solution to the problem would be the distribution of the colored people so that each community might have a small number of them. Therefore he would not discourage the present drift of the Negroes northward. Mr. Williams offers that as his solution; it has always been advocated by thoughtful colored men, not in the sense of a method or with vigor as it might have been, and as Mr. Williams seems to think should have been. The distribution of the colored people would be of unestimable value to them. In the congested state it is extremely difficult for spreading and the reception of the advanced notion of civilization, and for which the white people are so susceptible, no matter where they are. This has in mind the mass, the dense mass, where the ray of light finds it so difficult to penetrate, giving us that variance of people, and to the discredit of the race in this day. Already the "reputation" of the colored people has preceded them in some communities; consequently the race is persona non grata in them. This "reputation," of course, is an exaggerated notion of the race, learned through newspaper reports, which have generally given the sensational, and a thing totally in keeping with the newspaper business. In most communities of a few colored people the relation between the races is fairly ideal. The same ought to exist under similar circumstances the country over. YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.

The Chicago Conservator has again entered the field. Under the management of Rev. A. J. Carey, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, this veteran publication is now in the news. At twenty-ninth and State streets have been forsaken for a more pretentious place in the Thirty-second street block. That announcement is evidence by the array of high-prepared and competent men attached to the staff. Mr. Thomas Wallace Swann is the advertising manager. Mr. Swann is one of the few old men who have made money in the business. Editor and publisher of "Ebony" he is best known to the reading public. Mr. Swann is the author of the book *The Chicago Log*. He came here from Philadelphia, where he was regarded as a hustler in the newspaper line, backed up by a thorough knowledge of the business. The City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs met last week and elected the following officers: President, Mrs. Annie M. Camp; second vice president, Mrs. Fannie Turner; secretary, Mrs. Nina Tevis; treasurer, Mrs. M. A.

Church, pastored by Rev. W. C. Stovall, now occupy their new church building at Fifth street and Wabash avenue. The church is not a new building, but once it was built of this progressive congregation, who demonstrated their up-to-date methods by paying for the church in cash. The consideration was $9,750 and the sale of the old church netted $5,000. Provident Hospital had its graduating exercises a fortnight ago at Lincoln Center, and the next evening a tinguishing feature of the pleasing incident was the vast turning out of Chicago's host of philanthropists, or Negroes' white friends, people who are contending that the church is the right vouchsafed any other human being. Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, the epitome of Negro learning and culture! Imagine what oppose it and add to make his friend Negro ground of loyalty to his friend. Thankful utterances from this finished scholar could have been weighed in the finest scales fashioned among refined in-depth scholars about thanks, and yet these are the very people who have opened up the manifold avenues and fostered the possibilities for Negro growth of learning. He, like Tillman abusing Negroes, brought down on the heads of the best white people in the West nothing but vituperation. Displeasure marked the Negro's attention to the tonishing scene of a Negro berating the Negro's best white friends of America. People who have been giving thousands upon thousands annually to sustain the Negro in the South now say that very much learning makes the Negro unhappy, morose and sullen. It were better he be left alone in the South now say that very much mechanical training are better suited to his child mind. A few more such speeches made by Dubois, the dreamer, will close the gap between the lanta Universities, and open a greater possibility for Tuskegee and multiply the vast Booker T. Washington dimensions. The Douglass Center had Prof. Kelly Miller at the Institutional Church, last Friday evening, June 11, 1909. This learned scholar was to speak on "Race Loyalty," was several minutes before he got back to his seat. He was given in quality, if not in numbers, one of the best "coming outs" of Chicago's distinguished set that has ever greeted a lecturer. There were not many geometric equations or crossed on the "pons sinorum." For Kelly Miller the writer will say without overdrawing that he held a position of lecturer for a hour with rapt attention, while he thoughtfully fingered his beautiful ideals and sung the song of the sorrowful without a single discord. His manner was most engaging—deep, high, soulful and witty, which, with the trained mind of the artificer, he engraved in beautiful colors the word "Loyalty." He threw down the gauntlet to other shapes, races and types of people, and the opportunities in its wide meaning. That education, he is said, is the best that conserves the best and highest purpose under the conditions and circumstances, all the opportunities in its wide meaning. That education we have among us conserved for goodness is the best. The world is rapidly settling itself down to the notion that that education that insures a job (a living) is the Saturday, evening the leading colored men of Chicago gave a stag banquet to a group of well-known and brilliant affair (one where the twist of a cork makes a snappy noise, rich vlains food for the inner man, and the aroma of the corks standing all the more) were Dr. Geo.

He captivated the audience, he always does by his pleasing elegant art of oratory, brim full of originality. Isn't it a bit singular that W. H.

Scott, who is a Church in Liberia, Africa, is a Texas son; Emmett J. Scott, now ambassador to the United States to Liberia, is a Texas son; the writer of this, reader, is a Texas son.

ALLEN'S TROUBADOURS. SWEET DAHOMEY! BY JULI JONES. Mr. Fred Simpson, the wonderful trombone solist, simply played with the patrons of the Stroll and even played with house in Dehoney, but Doyle butted in and booked him solid until his regular season opens. If there ever was a colored vaudeville act, Mr. Doyle has given every one chances to show what he can do, no matter how good or how bad. There's only a few like Doyle. Billy King, the general stage manager of the Georgia Minstrels, has landed in Chicago with both feet. He has an offer from one of the Dehoney houses to finish his work. He could not seet it in that way. So Billy has moved to another section of the city for the remainder of the season. Yet the man of Wakefield agreed him to play his farewell week at their house. Mrs. Nellie Small, the wife of Charles Small, is living at the point of death in the private ward of the Provident Hospital. Mrs. Small is one of the grand women of the city and the usual leader of the hospital. able and social ring of Chicago and belongs to every respectable organization. She is showered with flowers every day. both teams with Umpire White. The Logs tied up the game in the ninth on target in the final and Hertel's clean single, two men being time. In the twelfth Hertel drew a pass and Bradshaw made an error on Arthur's All news is the same, good and bad alike. First we have that the colored performers have simply taken the Seattle reaping the harvest of their lives. Nothing but good news. Even posters have been put up begging for more colored talet; big salary. That's very good news. The room Burlesque Company of forty artists were left stranded high and dry in Baltimore, MD. Some have arrived home, kitchen and some gone to the wheat fields. All in some kind of trouble. On top of this here it comes again. Billy Johnson's Inky Dinks" have been scattered to the foothills of Matt Marshall, Oma Crosby and Miss seeily. These have "trioed" in an act, the name of which is "Perhaps Tis Better So." Billy. We hope to see the rest of the members before the snow falls, but we doubt it, we doubt it. The next bit of bad news comes from the coast. Wise and Milton the twenty-two weeks' booking had been cancelled. So many different reports came in as to the trouble that it would be an injustice to publish any of them. This man's act, and was christened as $1,000 singing act. Inside trouble has made the road very hard for the act. The was the only act the boss was reportorial the first act that it was to be plain about the matter, the trouble with both Johnson and the Wise act has been pointed out years ago. No man or woman has been accused of being the same time. The quicker the actor managers get this out their heads just that soon will they find the lost path. There is not an actor or actress than can be reported to be guilty of what they know or how long they have been in the business. Morris, the manager of the American Music Hall and booking for a string of high-class vaudeville houses in the East, has been able to meet success and infuse new blood in the present big field. He has adapted the baseball system, has scouts all over the country, has trained the players to try them out every Friday morning at 1 o'clock before a jury of vaudeville managers. The first call was Friday, May 25. Fourteen acts met the approval of the orchestra, and the orchestra acted was Buddy Glmore Trio and Miller and Lyles. This was a remarkable showing for the colored youngsters. In this act to pass, for it can make good on any bill. All is needed is the proper push behind it. But in the case of Miller and Lyles, the orchestra did more the act did the more Dehoney critics doubted their ability to do anything but playwriting. As the matter stands now is a question whether they are the best orchestra in the world, or a colored team. It is a great undertaking for a cooled act in vaudeville that doesn't sing or dance. They go Weber and Fields and they dance. They go fancy, Hath leave off and finish with a burlesque boxing stunt that sets their audience wild. It might take them a long time to get in right, as the orchestra will need them, unless they find there if they do their work. Vaudeville is fast work. I have been convinced beyond a doubt that the theater-going public will stand for a collar and will do what they can to do if he can do it better than a white man, but it must be better. Blondy Robinson and Billy McCraver have agreed to part, but in a manly way. In the future Blondy will work alone. In the future Billy will work with a colleague. Both parties have good time booked. Hi Jerry Barnes has at last found a good partner in Miss Cater. The lady is quite young, but has the making of a good performer. Jull Jones, Jr., wishes to clear up and straighten out a story that is going its rounds in Dehoney. Whoever said that Jones was pitched bodily out of the Eighth Street, he did not. The trouble happened in the heart of Dehoney and Jones did not not get pitched out either. No, no never. Here is the sworn statement by Jones. One rainy day, when the trap drummer discovered Jones, the trap drummer noticed that the regular ticket seller wasn't on duty and a Rube was taking tickets. So Jones took a chance and got by. The show was over and the pictures when the trap drummer discovered Jones. The trap drummer managed wise. Jones did not like the way things were going and made one of his famous getaways just in the nick of time. All that the manager, help and performers go was Jones' face hat and a gildimp of a suit. As a result, after him to Gary, Ind, is another falsehood made of whole cloth, and the managers will go on the stand any day and swear that everybody lost track of Jones and that they are going away. These facts have been sworn to and signed by Jull Jones, Jr. ABILENE, TEX. Prot, Etheridge, of El Paso, Tex., is in the city, representing the New Idea Colonization Company of Mexico...R. W.

B'HAM GIANTS TOOK TWO OF THREE GAMES Mobile Wins One—Failed to Score in First Game—Play Double Header Before Big Crowd Saturday. Special to THE FREEMAN. MOBILE, Ala.—In a battle of ten innings, with a score of 1 to 0, Birmingham won the game. The large crowd that went out to National Park to witness the game expected a great one, and they were not disappointed. The Birmingham team stands at the head of the large bunch of victories to its credit. The Mobile team so far has also made a great record this season, having lost only one game out of the three series completed. The large bunch of victories Samuel pitched in fine form for the home team, and the fact that Birmingham was able to score was no fault of his, but even before the cheering ceased the team was better supported in general team work. In the latter half of the tenth inning Mobile succeeded in getting a man on second base, but even before the cheering ceased the team was a nice little ruse of Taylor and Meredith. Saturday afternoon the two teams played a double-header. The Mobile team was fast and interesting as the one of Friday, in which Mobile was beaten by the Giants 1 to 0.

Little Casey, the new target for many a glad hand, and not a base was stolen on the kid.

Ugh! ugh!! ugh!!! Mr. Lee is booking agent for the Cubs, and Mr. Stringer is manager. On Monday Wallace got a sacrifice, a double, a triple and a home run. Why don't you make an error, Wallace? Your friends want something to talk about. Robinson and Martin had very little to do Tuesday, but played everything safe within their territory. Briscoe fielded in great form Tuesday. His throw from deep left, killing Parrettez, was the feature of the game. CUBAN STARS DEFEAT GIANTS. Mendez and West Engaged in Pitch- er's Battles-Game Fast. Special Event LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Mendez, the great pitcher, took another scalp in the form of the Louisville Cubs. The Cubs could do nothing with his twisters, but West was able to get the ball. The game was a battle royal, and it was anybody's game until the last man was down. The Cubs have proven that they have the best ball team owned around the Falls City.

The Boston Guardian is still unhappy. The Boston Guardian is still unhappy. And what is so rare as a day in June? If you have a good thing, advertise it! Beware of the fellow who fights in the dark. The Negro is in the business world to stay. The loafer must go! 'Tis so written in the stars. Is there a National Negro Press Association? Liberia is filling a large space in the public eye. Dr. Joshua E. Wilson is still postmaster at Florence, S. C. The "right to work" is among the first of rights. Stick a pin there! Every new thing is not a reform and every crank is not a reformer. There is a noticeable thinning out of alleged Washington correspondents. In bewailing our disadvantages we frequently overlook golden advantages. Sheriffs who permit Negro prisoners to be lynched should be "shipped" at once. Justice John M. Harlan can always be depended upon to see things in the right light. It is to be doubted if Confederate reunions add any strength to the Federal Union. We might not feel so blue over the raise in the cost of living if we could raise the price of living. When brains, printers' ink and push are mixed judiciously "prosperity pudding" is the result. Get hold of something that somebody wants and you will not lack for callers, be you black or white. Special Assistant United States District Attorney William Henry Lewis, at Boston, is booked for retention. Senator Albert J. Beveridge makes a noise like a traffit reformer that means to have genuine tariff reform. "Lynch law" gets a black eye every time a sheriff gets bounced for failing to sustain the majesty of the law. There is a "joy side" to Afro-American life. Let us keep it ever before for us inspiration and encouragement. The old-time idea that labor is degrading is rapidly giving away to the modern idea that it is degrading not to labor. No town where Negroes have their being should be without a healthy branch of the National Negro Business League. Ally life among Negroes is a "big stick" in the hands of the bourbons who argue that emancipation was a mistake To be constantly reminded of the favors that have been done for you robs them of the sweet savor they might otherwise have had. Despite the abundance of suitable material the Ananias Club is not growing under the tranquil administration of Mr. Taff. Tariff revision downward is of as much importance to the race as the appointment of three or four of us to the offices we covet. The traveling Negro would get more of this world's goods by casting down his bucket in one good place and remaining there. The "higher education" does not increase the crop of fools, but it often serves to expose the foolish ones who attempt to take it on. Happiness is a "movable feast." It consists in living the life we think we would like to live and then not care for after it is within our reach. There need be no jealousy among our race leaders. There is ample room for all and plenty of work for many more able hands to perform. W. H. Hammond is scoring brilliantly as bandmaster at the Western University, Quindaro, Kan., of which Register W. T. Vernon is president. There are offices under the government not held by colored men to which worthy and serviceable cooled men may safely and justly aspire. The next Southern sheriff who permits a Negro to be lynched in defiance of the commander there, eitherwise, is apt to promptly "Shipped." The Southern papers have nothing to say when a burly white brute commits an assault upon a respectable colored girl. Comment is unnecessary. So many wel-disposed horses have a hankering for the grass on the neighbor's lot, when it isn't half so good as the grass on the lot of their owner. With a Negro holding the heavyweight championship of the world, and of England and France on the side, we are doing pretty well, thank you. The United salaries of the many Negroes appointed to office since March 4 far outweigh the loss sustained through the retirement of a few. Many Negroes would be grand successes in business in the past as much vim into the venture as they do in seeking a temporary political job. The Chinese mission goes a-begging. We know several colored patriots who could be persuaded to tackle it if Brother Taff would only give the ma look-in. "The Luminary" is the title-of a new race paper published at Omaha, Neb., with F. J. Prergrino handling the torch. We hope its rays will be broad enough to shine upon all. These are great days for Negro education, both for the kind that comes from Hampton and Tuskegee and that sent forth by Howard, Wilberforce, Lincoln, Atlanta and Flsk. It has been found that the reason the President is such a glittering success at "sawing wood" is that he has an expert "Carpenter" constantly on the job at the White House. Since the refusal of her "po" white trash to permit industrious Negroes to school of the once proud and diy state (Goula owns the rest of the South an abject apology. They say that Western Missouri is so angry for that in the famous "Black Cabinet" at Washington that the leading aspirant may attempt to "Crews-ify" somebody in getting it. Some of us attach more importance to a two-line paragraph about us in a white paper than to a column in a Negro paper to which the best-thinking whites turn for reliable information concerning us. Tuskegee's recent commencement was the most brilliant in the history of that great institution. It thrives because it teaches the young Negro how to "do things," rather than to merely say things. In hinting to the Southern "Lily-white" that they have a fighting chance to go after the high-salaried jobs held by Negroes in Washington, The Post appears to be trying to "start something." It turned out that the Negro voters did not flock to the Columbus conference in sufficient numbers to scare Jim Vardaman, Joe Bailey, Ben Tillman or John Sharp. Williams away from their ancient moorings. According to the latest figures available the Negroes of Washington draw in salaries from the government alone the magnificent sum of $4,059,224 annually. The teachers draw approximately $400,000 a year. The fellow who seeks press notices doesn't get them half so fast as the other press agent seek him because of the "good story" his work makes for the eye of the paying public. W. J.

The latch strings smile is ever on tap, and it is a pleasure to enter the charmed circle of its radiance, even if you go away officially empty-handed. The Informer, of Urbana, Ohio, the spokesman of the celebrated Curry Normal and Industrial Institute, is thirteen years old. Prof. Curry as an industrial agitator and temperance advocate is doing a noble part in the uplift of the race. A New York lyeum bureau which makes a business of booking platform stars says that more calls have been made this season for Booker. Washington on various chantanqua circuits for any other man in public life, black or white. Disease has no regard for the color line. It is the duty of all to help stamp out tuberculosis and permit Negroes to get out of the malaria-breeding alley tenements in healthy neighborhoods. The black man in the back-alley may bring death to the white millionaire on the street in front of him. At any rate, the United States Supreme Court made enough of a flareback in defense of its dignity to cause mobs and contempt whenever the prisoner is in the hands of the federal judiciary. The authority of the local courts continues to be greater at the usual zero figure. "Tis a long lane that has no turning." The capacity of the Negro for "self-distribution" is one of the tangible fruits of education and sober evolution of the Negro. The lines of contact are as strongly marked in the larger communities of Negroes as it is among the whites. The reason makes much food for thought among those who most mysterious science known as sociology. One of the nation's greatest characters is Richard Theodore Greener. He was a pioneer in the onward march of the race when the present brood of statesmen were able to unite in a common abreast of the times. In the practice of law in Chicago—his new home—he is making a success. The public service is a loser by not having the gifted Prof. Greener in the federal harness. The if taking advantage of an opportunity to strike an effective blow for the right is "opportunityism," we ca nsee nothing disbraceful in being an "opportunityist." It is a common mistake of the short-sighted, faintly opportunistic with indictment or demagogy. In the political, business, education or social life of a free country like our practically every notable achievement had its genesis in enlightened opportunism. Senator Beverley gives another fine exhibition of his high-grade statesmanship by insisting that the Republicans in Concord, Massachusetts, solemnly pledged to the country. He is holding the feet of the Aldrichites to the fire and sounds the note of warning that if they fail to make their promise good the people are apt to take a bad in revising the Republican majority downward at the congressional elections in 1910. We haven't heard anything of one Editor Denny B. Goode since Miss Nannie H. Burroughs hambasted him so vigorously a bassline asianpercussionist and publishing a decade of assine asperians against the Negro men and women of Louisville. It may be that Denny" has made up his mind to "B. G. Goode," and now he is publishing a decade in inexhaustible Miss Burroughs has some more of the same rod in pockle for his corn-cracker hide. Wilmington, Del, went Democrat the other day and among others the able and enterprising Dr. Samuel G. Elbert went rock-ribbed Republican ward. Either the white Republicans failed to stand by their ticket or the Negroes went back on a deposition is not a pleasant one, no matter which horn of the dilemma we take. The Chicago Conservator, in its new togs, looks as chipper as a "sweet girl graduate in the full panoply of her commencement finery. The astute Dr. A. J. Tom W. Allen, the orator and hustler par excellence from Maine—the main part of Alabama—is doing the heavy stunts on the stage and the Carey "revival" ough to make enough "converts" to keep it going. In a report made a few months ago by the late Carroll D. Wright to the legislature of Massachusetts, the former Commissioner of Agriculture recommended "that agriculture be placed in the high schools and public schools of the state." The best thinks of today are gradually learning that agriculture is strong and cooper Washington started curbing and worse years ago, "Back to the soil" is not the cry of the faddist. It is the voice of common sense. The bourbon whis te papers and disgruntled Negroes refer to the appointment of one Bryant as Surveyor of the Port at New Orleans as "a victory for the 'ill-ly' Negro," a point to don't take one-sided fame-failed to display in the same garrison heading the news of Walter L. Cohen's reappointment as Register of the Port, the 'black and tan' contingent of the G. O. P. It makes all the difference whose ox is gored, it seems. Let us reepit for emphasis that "there isn't an ounce of color prejudice in the soil or in any of the manifold forces of nature," and as abundantly as on the side of the white man; the sun shines with equal brilliance, the hen lays as cheerfully, hogs and cattle fatten as quickly, the responds as easily, the controls as easily and the mule works as steadily for one race os for the other. (Apologies to the "Wizard of Tuskegee.") In the event of a vacancy on the board of trustees of the Anna T. Jeanes fund for the benefit of the colored rural schools of the region, the thought Bishop George Wylie Clinton would ask to accept a chair therein. He is in full sympathy with the work in hand and is cognizant of the places where the funds might be placed in the educational logic of the situation, intensive travels and close observation of the educational conditions surrounding his people in all the Southern states. The election of Bishop Walters as president of the National Negro Political League at its Columbus convention was in accord with the logic of the situation at the late Afro-American Council, he led the fight last year against the political solidarity of the Negro, and is now the only militant in the fight to tell the tale.

SPORTING GOSSIP of the WEEK. WHO IS CHAMPION? SAM JANE FORD JOHNSON HARRY WJACKSON 09 The National Sporting Club, of London, Eng., has announced Sam Langford, of Boston, Mass., U. S. A., the heavyweight champion of the world.—News Item. SCRAPS FROM THE SPORTING WORLD "Take it from me, Bo, I'll give that baby [Ketchel] a licking." The Red Rocks and New Orleans played at New Orleans Sunday. Franklin, Va., has a snappy playing team. It has not lost one in eleven games. Once upon a time, just twenty years ago, Louisville lost twenty-six consecutive games. The Indianapolis club is at the top of the list at this writing. Now at the top floor, but for how long? Diffy, of the Boston Nationals of 1894, made a batting average of .438. It has never been equaled. In September, 1890, Brooklyn and Pittsburg played three games in one day, the former winning all three games. Jimmie Wates, a fast infielder, is in good shape, and wants to play with some classy team. Address 1206 Mason street, Springfield, Ia. "James," protested the father, "what do you mean by boring holes into that big "Father I'm a benefactor," said the boy, giving his auger a few more vicious turns. "I'm making knot-holes in baseball fences for poor boys."—Puck. It is nothing strange for the drift of sentiment, as the result of the Ketchel-O'Brien bout Wednesday night of last week, to be in favor of Ketchel, the team that has done no more than was expected, and folks have already said that he can handle Johnson just as easily. This is true, indeed it is—on paper. Cherokee Tom, local middleweight of Kansas City, is in training for a series of bouts ranging from six to ten rounds. He is soon to fight in Joplin Sedalia, Sepupal and Pine Ridge, both in pounds. Felix Payne, one of Kansas City's leading business men, is Tom's manager. He also has Dick Doolin in charge. Doollin challenges any man at 133 pounds. The Keystones, of Minneapolis, Minn., played the Hibbing (Minn.) club Saturday and Sunday, June 5 and 6, at League Park, winning the game by losing the second game by the score of losing the second game by the score of 2. The Keystones have a very strong team this season, with such well-known stars as Campbell and Green, catchers; Koehler, first base; Shafer, second base; Davis, shortstop; McCune, third The National Sporting Club, of London base; Barton, left field; Hopkins, center field, and Willis Jones, right field. Under them they are played by six of Captain Willis Jones showing some very clever team work. They play the Merrill, Wis., club Satur- and Sunday, June 12 and 13, at Leaguer Park. A. B.

BATLING NELSON TO RETIRE NEW YORK—Willus Britt, manager of Battling Nelson, the lightweight champion, is authority for the statement that the team engage in no more fights after he meets Willus Nelson from the ring forever. Britt returned from San Francisco a few days ago, where he seconded Nelson in his battle with Fight-Out at the Colma Athletic Club of California. AGAIN, JACK VS. LAW. BOSTON—When Jack Johnson, the best weight champion of the world, rode into Boston to prove he could succeed upon him to appear for civil proceedings, he wrote was sworn out by William A. Parker, who trained the colored champion who fought in the infamous infamousford in Chelsea in 1904. He claimed, Johnson owes him $110 for his services, and left the city after the bout without paying. MAY TRAIN IN INDIANA CHICAGO—George Lytle, manager of Jake Johnson, declares the champion will start playing for both its city or Ketter Lake, Ind., for either Bottles or Ketter Lake and Stanley Ketchel. He said that Ketter Lake easy victory over O'Brien would have no impact on the team's meeting with Ketchel is set for October 12 or 13. Johnson is now in Boston. He is expected to play. THEY MEET AGAIN. Joe Jeanette and Sandy Ferguson to Fight at Boston Tuesday. YORK. Joe Jeannette, the colored bearer, and Sandy Ferguson, the big fighter of Boston battle in the squared circle. They have been matched to meet for twelve rounds in the Armory A. A. of Boston on the night of June 22. They will be their second contest, Jeanne has won the awarded the decision over Ferguson in a tawny round bout in Paris a few weeks ago. Jeanne is to receive a big guarantee for the Armory A. The bout ought to pack the Armory A.A. to its capacity, as Jeanne is a great favorite with the Boston fight fans. THIRD-RATER FOR JEEF SAN FRANCISCO—J. W. Coffrath hasn't quite given up the idea of getting better. He might light some big, strong third-rater. Decembrer will make $10,000 in Jeff's big maulers if he will agree to be billed something like this: "I'll be in Jim Flynn, ten rounds. 'There wouldn't be about a match like that. I would take pictures of the go, and there are those that would be in him in action if only to satisfy themselves that he has anything left," says Coffrath. BASEBALL IN HELENA. HELDNA, Ark—Helena won its game with Mariana, 7 to 6. Batteries—Helena, cell and Fowler; Mariana, Hart and Hudson; Huske has been organized, with eight clubs that represented: Little Rock, Hot Springs, Arkadelphia, Camden, Eldorado, Prescott, Pine Bluff.

PHILADELPHIA.—Stanley Ketchel, the Montana miner, is the big factor in the majestic world to-day. His defeat of Philadelphia last year has three founds last night has made him the favorite here for the fight with Johnson. Both men have been seen in action in the past, but the former has bouts declare that Ketchel has much harder punch than Johnson; that he is very much faster, and that the flat-footed one of the Negro champion would make him comparatively easy mark for the Westerner. "Ketchel will beat Johnson to a pulp, and we meet in San Francisco," declared O'Brien to Johnson, both me, and I want to say right here, no more of Ketchel for mine. He surprised me, and has improved wonderfully since the first time he hit the ball. I hitter I ever met. I thought I had a chance to win until he got to me with those body NO IS CHAMPION SAM LANGFORD n. Eng., has announced Sam Langford, eight champion of the world.—News Itc BACK TO THE MAT. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 7, 1909. Sporting Editor: DEAR SIR—Last summer your publication of my challenge was highly accepted throughout the South. I have lost twelve pounds since last June, not from wrestling, but from training. I tend to do anything in the wrestling line but light training until December 25, 1909, at which time I shall be in Richmond, Va. I am on the lookout for a challenge from a person who will bring its surroundings towns—Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth or Petersburg, June 6, 1909, I got a challenge from Clarence White, of Chattanooga, Tenn. We were to meet at Roosevelt Park for the best wrestling match of the week at 9:30 p. m. There wasn't standing room on the pavilion floor. The eager crowd stood waiting until 12 o'clock, more angry with me than the man who disappointed them. Losing such a feature, I haven't attempted to win. I was around here likes sport, but sees little of it in their race. LOUIS GOODMAN. JOHNSON DID NOT TRY TO DEFEAT JACK O'BRIEN Ketchel and Kaufmann at Ringside with Notebooks—Has No Fear of Middleweight Champion. BOSTON.—The talk of Jack O'Brien, who was so decisively defeated by Stanley Ketchel at Philadelphia last week, that Jack Johnson would also lose the title of the sturdy Michigan-strived stirred up the champion heavyweight to fever pitch, and he rapped back as follows: "Iight Ketchel all right, and, take it from me. Bo, I will give that baby a licking. O'Brien's dope is way off. That Ketchel is a conceited gentleman, and thinks he's the whole show in the fighting game. But I make him have another think. "I expected Ketchel would knock out O'Brien, but that cuts no ice with me. Ketchel can't beat me, and never could. There's no use trying to compare with O'Brien. I expected O'Brien fight. When I boxed O'Brien a few weeks ago, both Ketchel and Kaufmann, men I am to fight, were at the ringside with their eyes wide open and their notebooks in hand. Do you think I was going to be foolish enough to show my hand with these would-be champions looking on? Well, I guess no. I had wanted to. I could have gone to O'Brien and out him away, but I was THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER satisfied to box him as I did and keep 'em guessing. "Ketchel has a good punch all right, there's no doubt about that. I figured he had to fight, because he was tough, because I believed he would go right after his man, knowing he had nothing to fear from O'Brien, who can't hit hard enough to bother a husky young lad like Ketchel. Now O'Brien says he thinks Ketchel will win, but he must do so. Let him think so. Let them think so if they want to. But don't go and bet on it. "Don't think I am bitter on any of these fellows. I'm not bitter on any man who is fighting me, fighting game for what there is in it, and I'm ready to fight any man in the world." A STRONG PARTNERSHIP. Said the baseball bug To the lazy germ: "We're getting close To the heated term, When the skies will shine Like a sunny beach. And the crowds will gather To watch the game. I'll chase the players From base to base While you tempt men To play hardy place. Where they can gaze Till their souls enthuse And yell at the ampire All they choose. Well they will the world On a summer hour How the smallest may oft Exert most power. The statesman great And the financier Will you to the wall As we draw near. In affairs we will be A leading firm." Said the baseball bug To the lazy germ. Washington Star SAM LANGFORD ON A HOME RUN On May 24 the English Polish and the British Sears were to have battled brawls in the streets. First Inning—Teddy arouse frim his bench and put a single to jaw; a double play to win. Teddy made sever errors and got catch a ball in the last half of the inning. Second Inning—Teddy struck a two-bagger, bringing in Red Raven Splits. Polar tried to single to wind, but was met with a right and a left to the jaw and a left from amazing grace to a floating opportunity. He, however, made a rally by sending a two-bagger to Teddy's wind, scoring his right fielder to chin that was a chin to a bad ball at shortstop, stopping Teddy's drives in the mouth.

Polar stole second with a double-header to wind and a single to kidney, Teddy caught and a right to the eye that floored Teddy and brought the grandstand to its feet. Fourth Inning—Polar tried to score for third, but was not fast enough. Teddy caught him mauling, double to the chin that sent him to third. He tried to steal home again, but a six-inch repeating rifle put him out, and the game was called on account of darkness. Home: Teddy Teddy 1.1* 1.7 Polar 0.0 40 *Home run in fourth. Heavyweight jump champion of Europe. CHICAGO JACK GREEN SUCCESSFUL YOUNG MAN IN UN DERTAKING BUSINESS Special to THE FREEMAN: QUORRELL, KY. Embalming the dead has become an art and a science. While it is one of the oldest sciences known to man, it is still and will be perhaps forever practiced as long as man is kept up with the science of making the dead look natural. This is becoming especially true of the Negro. The moment a friend or relative dies, the best embalmer can keep up with the science of making this requires intelligence and knowledge of the art, and years of experience. To my mind, there is not a more qualified man in the field of embalming than "natural born" embalmer and undertaker. He is a Louisvillian, a graduate of the Central High School, and a young man of excellent parts. In his early life he showed an interest in anatomy, which is so essential to a high-class embalmer. Having a God-given spirit for this work, he was employed and Watson, who was the successful pioneer in the business. While teaching in the public schools, he was also actively engaged in the embalming work. Having an astute sense of humor, he was able to come very proficient after taking a course at Eckles & Clark's Embalming School of Cincinnati, Ohio. Wishing to be further educated, he joined Clark's Embalming School, taking a post-graduate course. He passed the State Board of Examiners with honors, and has become an authority on embalming. Mr. Eckles was also a member for his brilliant parts in the work that the State Funeral Directors' and Embalmers' Association chose him as their secretary, and since its organization, the members of this organization have placed such implicit confidence in his ability and thorough knowledge of the art that he is usually their lecturer and general encyclopedia. Wishing to put his knowledge into practice under his own mast-head, he has opened up an embalming and undertaking business in Chestnut, street. He now calls upon the good citizens of Louisville, churches, societies, families and clubs, that in case there is to him in his line of work, to give him the job of M.Acee as every qualification necessary for a successful business man. He knows the legal duties to the larger and smaller details incidental to the body, securing first-class curarriage and funeral cars, Mr. McAfee is close in the city. For fifteen years Mr. McAfee has business, and serves many of the best families in the city. His polite, affable and cultured manners during the conduct of the business are embered by the older citizens of the city. The establishment is located on West Street, in the heart of the colored neighborhood, and the ample vehicles and stables, together with appointments essential to a modern undertaking establishment, should assure the business of the excellent service from first call to last old. Mr. McAfee's assistant is Mr. A. G. Merr, who attended Eckstein Norton Institute, and Mr. A. G. Merr, practical undertaker. He has been the manager of the Louisville Funeral Directors Association, and also for J. H. Tayler, embalmers, and for E. J. embalmers in the city, and holds a license from the State Embalmers' Board. He will be quite an able assistant to the new embalmers, being a necessary adjunct to the business friends of both parties wish them success. THE FREEMAN AT LOUISVILLE Blue Grass Restaurant, 117 W.

So, I have determined to send a copy of the prescription, free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope, to any man who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced that the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor-failure is this prescription to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that any man, anywhere who is weak and discouraged with nervous debility, can receive with harmful patent medicine, secure what I believe, is the quickest-acting, restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and, cry himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson, 833 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid receipt, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope, free of charge.
