BY CARY B. LEWIS. Special to THE FREEMAN. Mr. Burnette is head porter and has more to show for his earnings than any other man in the town; in fact, he is the only one we learn that actually owns property in the town. He is also a patron and resources in this respect. But other citizens have caught the spirit and are beginning to deal justly with themselves are about to lay hold some earthly possessions to build up their own, and the mighty men in the town are helping them admirably. This being a resort for travelers and also place for rest, recuperation and treatment for ills by nature's healing waters, the service of the Negro is the most profitable for the Negro. The headwater at St. Clair's Hotel is Joe Fowler. During the busy season he has under him upwards of seventy-five men. The Fowler cared here from the Seebach, at Lafayette, and the leading men in the country in handling men in the dining room. Harry Pollitt in a Louisville boy, is the head bellman; he is an intelligent and hustling young man under him on the bell stand. He is young man of personal integrity, and advice com s to us that much is expected of during the coming year. Danny Sebre has charge of the shining place in one of the most remunerative places it above ordinary bootclad stands, and runs it in first-class style and with runs it in his daughter, Miss Sebre, has charge of the hart-dressing and manicuring parters in his mastered the trade and is holding with perfect satisfaction. It was for held by a white woman. During the she has two assistants. Many of them have a liking for old-fashioned dresses and their three are a comoissieur on preparing vases of dinners with the fowl as the preening number of others make a business of this kind. Anankher is among this class. She is one of the oldest settlers of the community and her reputation as a good chef has gone far and high. Burrell Chunkner, is night humiliating at the hotel. Charlie Rice operates a three-story brick building on the main street. It is commodo and many travelers find a most convenient place to stop. Charlie Washington is another Louisville man in Washington. He runs a pool and billard parlor in the city, holding a rice Hotel. Mr. Washington is owner in Louisville and is connected to the Louisville Real Estate Company. He is member of Unity Lodge No. 12, F. & A. M. Unity Lodge. Mr. Blackwell has a charge of a tailor shop and is a business venture that shares a great deal of patronage of both races. George W. Dawson is a restaurant and pool parlorers. Mr. Woody operated the Pekin Cafe in Louisville and an experienced business man. He belongs to the "teat and the whirlpool." Mrs. Ida Webster is lady bath attendant, while Misses Morgan and Bailley charge of the rooms. Miss Laura Wright Potter, Mayme equipped boarding houses that are constantly filled with visitors who are "on the waters." The people here are extremely courteous to visitors and strangers. Many functions have been held recently to demonstrate this fact. A number of young people have managed and settled into well appointed homes. There is hardly a hamlet now without the little church on the hill. West Baden is fortunate in this respect. The colored men have the nearest Baptist churches in the city. It was recently dedicated by the Rev. C. H. Carrham of Louisville. Services are usually held here every other Sunday. The Rev. C. M. Carrham is the next pastor in the tailor in St. Clair's hotel, is one of the active workers. The fact that there is a church here has played a powerful part in the community. This is carried on at picnic church, Clubs and social organizations play its part in the general amusement of all. The West Baden people are looking out and toward the goal of success. Its leading men may become an inspiration to others to move onward. With the present influences at work, we can in five years to come a large increase in the number of economic elevation, living side by side in mutual ornament, without ningling or clashing.

The ground was given by Mr. St. Clair and the building cost $1,100. The floor is raised, and has colored windows. The church is connected with it of which John Thomas and Will Scott are teachers. An interesting sight is the number of people that have poultry farms and raise chickens. The church is built upon joists twelve feet high and beneath the house several hundred chickens are raised. They are screened in with heavy wire. The amusing part is to a city house where never have trouble with chicken thieves. The old soldiers will have their reunion at West Baden Aug. 18 to 21.

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL CHARGES AGAINST ROSCOE CONKLING BRUCE RESULT OF MUCH JEALOUS FEELING Citizen's Association Appeal to School Board-Local Business League Will Hold Big Public Meeting-Notes of Interest. Thompson's National News Bureau. The basis of the trouble seems to lie in a certain rivalry that has apparently grown up between the Friends of M. Street and the Friends of Armstrong Technical High School on the other. The complainants aver that Prof. Bruce has been comparatively generous in his treatment to the disparagement of the latter, and that when a competitive examination showed the work of the pupils of the M. Street School to be as good, if not better, than the Armstrong Technical School, he failed to make known the complainants further allege that Prof. Bruce delivered several addresses before pupils of the colored grammar schools and the Armstrong Technical School, and manual training school. Among the other causes for dissatisfaction are that Prof. Bruce was discontented to the principal of the colored grammar schools, the latter's power of suspension, and subsequently charged him with failure to maintain discipline. Prof. Bruce is also blamed by the Association for allowing Congress to impose the proper equalization had been made. Something is said, too, about the lowering of the ideals of the schools under Bruce's administration, and there are ear-marks, between the adherents of the so-called "higher education" and the advocates of "industrial training." That argument has been made by the community and a system of correlation of the two ideas has been so generally agreed upon that no considerable number of local educators can be induced to attend. Prof. Bruce is known to believe in emphasizing the manual training for the masses of the Negro race—and for the masses of any other race—in the development of Armstrong School, he has not shown it any favor at the expense of the academic training of the students, and been friendly to the development of Armstrong Street. The Board understands this and is satisfied with the methods he has pursued, and the leaders of public thought in the city are likewise in accord with him, as the correspondent has been able to observe. Although the charges aver that Prof. Bruce is "unfit" to longer serve as Assistant Superintendent in charge of colorado district, he is not specifically asked for. The excellent condition of the colored schools and the improvements that have been made in them since the advent of Prof. Bruce are regarded by his friends as a good business man at Zion Baptist church, F. Street, southwest, on next Monday evening. The newly-elected officers will be instated and prominent business men will speak. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, American Commissioner to Liberia, is expected here between the 10th and the 13th of July to make his report to the President.

Young man, read! read! read! The great curse of the present generation is its ignorance. Read something, so that you will not be either a dillard or an empty dandy.—The Review. The leaders of the poor white people throughout the South, will find that they have taught their followers a lesson, which will in time cause serious breach in the relationship of the tenant class and the owners of the soil, and they will need the he p of the Negroes to assist them to bring back the rule of those who have always been able to guide the affairs of government in a satisfactory and most capable manner.—Newport News Star. President Taft pardoned a young white boy down in Georgia who had stolen a Greek text-book from the local post-office. Leading Georgians said the boy's thirst for knowledge led him to commit the theft. Umph! If this had been a young colored boy, his crime would have been hearded as proof of the inherent dishonest of the Greek community, but the crime depends entirely upon the color of the skin—in this country—The National Review. There is one thing you must do before criticising a paper: first read it. There are many Negroes who dare to berate Negro journals; ask them when they have erad it and they will tell you some two or three years since. He has not made any improvements have been made. Others read only personals and never see the editorial page or any news article of whatever importance. Yet they continue to find fault. Just when you have done that, they get out and to have viz: teaching, they steadily refuse —The Seattle Searchlight. President Taft says that race prejudice in the South is fast diminishing, and that all claims to the contrary are the claims of fanatics. The President is doing his best to appease it, but it is barely possible that as he walks inside the concessionary, that he cannot see so far around him as other-men can see. There was less prejudice between the lion and the lamb when they laid down together with the lamb inside the concessionary, that self-provement allays prejudice, may be correct, but it seems to us that when it decreases in one way it breaks out more savagely in many other ways. We are all aware that racism is still in soft sofa as a diet has been sorely tried. The Colorado Statesman. Your value to the community is measured by what you really do, and not by what you can point out that the other fellow failed to do that. You will little bit brass to find fault; but the men who form the constructive history of the world must possess a supply of both. The men who wrote the Declaration of Independence, Proclamation; who invented out telephone and telegraph; who planted the colonies and established our American civilization were more than fault finders. They themself were more than fault finders; but they were too busy performing their task to degrade themselves by engaging in such dirty employment. Torch Light. Contrary to the expectancy of the most sanguine, the arbitrators in the controversy between the Georgia railroad and the North Carolina railroad led to the retention of Negro firemen, have decided in favor of the railroad; that is to say, in favor of the Negroes. They have the life of far between, 'tis true, in the cloud of race prejudice and oppression which overhangs the south, that give us courage to take up the black man's burden and go singing on the street. That is the triumph of right given dead still reclaims. Any other award than that made by the arbitrators on the main point issue of the case, is a kind of groundless progress in Georgia and marked that state as the devil's own. To have denied a class of men the privilege to earn that award, the judge of the court have been a surrender to organized labor which is already more arrogant than any one who can trust ever dared to be. The Advocate GEORGIA RAILROAD CASE. Down in Georgia they are trying to decide whether or not Negroes shall have the right to earn their bread. The attorney for the strickers is mailed the only ground he has for asking that the Negroes be dismissed is because they are black men and white men want their jobs. The good firemen is false upon its face. The fact that some of those employed by the Georgia Railroad have been with the company for ten and twenty years is the best that can be cited to prove their efficiency. The arbitrators who have been selected to settle this case would do well to bear witness that the destiny of over ten million people; for if they decide this case against the Negro it will set a precedent that jeopardizes any future negotiations that wants the same jobs.—The Nashville Globe. TOP BOT AMONG NEGROES The great lesson of self-help is the hope of the Negro. Unlike all other people, the so-called big ones and leaders are the most traitorous and disloyal to the enterprises and purposes of the race. Open a grocery store and find a shop that will hence the practice of law or medicine, operate a printing plant, or engage in any pursuit where the white man will cater to a Negro, you will find the so-called black professional to turn all the money he can control into the coffers of the white man, while at the same time howling about love for the race. This rotting at the top—this aping royalty by black professionalism is the eyesore that has entered the world. For these creatures the Dallas Express has never had any feeling except one of utter contempt, and until the race makes these scullious odours their tribe will continue to increase to the devilment and numbness of the people upon whom they subsist. Let us cut out the rot or all is lost. —The Dallas Expression. "NOT SO AWFULLY BAD." For more than thirty years Negroes have been holding positions in the Post Office and Custom House of this city, for more than a century, being holding official positions in Washington, and yet in the more than thirty years in this city but one Negro has been arrested for the thefting, and the record in the city is that not one has been caught in the toils of the law for misappropriation of that which did not belong to him. Negroes have been arrested for the department at Washington, and of the hundreds of Negroes throughout the country in Government service, not one per cent. In Government service, not one per cent. have been arrested for the Government service, not one per cent. splendid showing in view of what has been going on in this city within the past year or so? Nor rather than it, everyday, every day Negro will still steal a chicken thing else of little more value, but when THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. it comes to the better class of Negroes, very little can be said against them along this line. All of which goes to show that the Negro is not so awfully bad after all. IF—DON'T YOU THINK. If you borrow a nickel or a dime don't you think its worth paying back.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Special to THE FREEMAN. Atlantic City, the world's greatest resort, entertained 250,000 guests on the 4th of July, all hotels and boarding houses as usual were checked for beauty, the beautifully built mall, boarding jams, it being estimated that 100,000 people were promenading along this walk at one time.... Mr. J. Herne, a westerner, was in town, the Lyric orchestra of Howard University, has returned here for the season and will as usual play at Fitzgerald and good and the music lovers are overjoyed to have them here for another season....

The many friends of Mr. J. H. Brooks were sorry to hear of the burning of the Fort William Henry Hotel, New York State which was totalled on Friday, the day to open. About 159 people were thrown out of a job. ...The citizens here are very much displeased at the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission to ban Gaines, Turner, Lampton and others against three southern railroads for discrimination. The disposed. The Cozart case was dismissed for the lack of evidence and Bishop, Gaines case was dismissed because there was too much evidence. ...Dr. Will Masterson was dismissed to take up his work on the staff of the Freedmen hospital. He was given a big send-off by a large number of his friends. .....the private cars of the Union Pacific, P. O. & T. P. Queen & Crescent). The private cars of the Union Pacific, Hamilton, and the B. & O. were all in this city last week which greatly increased the number of porters, cooks and waiters, all of whom were highly pleased at Atlantic Jack Johnson the champion heavyweight here recently, leaving in time to fight Tony Ross at Pittsburg. While in this city Johnson had a gala good time with the boys, and it is the consensus of opinion that he is a great kills. He also maintained his usual escapades by being arrested two times for running his auto without Jersey license. It developed later that he had license. But it was not until business it fairly good at this time, there are many signs of a great upheaval in the near future. Little by little the plans are being unfolded whereby the colored waiters, porters, chair pushers and hackmen are at the bottom of it all, and that the whole scheme is being engineered by an ex-republican boss who made his political capital off the very men he is now planning to attack. The colored man will be eliminated from hotels and other pursuits in Atlantic City. ALLENSWORTH. CAL. The little town of Allensworth, Cal. has been formally set forth, inducted into the sisterhood of towns with some ado. Allensworth is the realization of the dream of Colonel Allensworth, ex-chaplain in the army, conceived some three or four years ago. He thought to have a Negro settlement in that Eldorado, where everything conspired to the assist of man in his struggle for physical existence. However, it was not for this reason alone that Col. Allensworth planted his town in one of the fertile valleys of the Pacific slope. Imbued with the spirit that caused those frail crafts, the Mayflower and the Speedwell, to tempt that vast expanse, fleeing persecution, this man and his followers thought to erect an asylum where the Negroes might come and enjoy all of the possibilities and responsibilities of citizens. The tract of land on which the town is situated contains 5,000 acres, purchased from the ePacific Farming Company. As stated, the town started off with considerable ado. Visitors were present, speeches were made, and the spirit of enterprise was rife. Among other things, Col. Allensworth said: "The chief object of this community will be to aid in settling some of the vast problems now before the country. Justice Harlan is quoted as saying that perhaps the greatest question before the American people today is the relation of the races. This being the case, we, as a race, are interested because we are considered by a large number of the people of this country as a disturbing element by reason of our activity in pursuing those things that develop men into desirable citizens. We must remember that a condition confronts us, and not a theory. A large number of our fellow countrymen have been taught for generations that the Negro is incapable of the highest development of citizenship. This they believe and will continue to think until we show them they are mistaken. To do that we must indicate capacity. This cannot be done so long as the conditions of our environment are against its accomplishment. It follows, therefore, that we must live in a community where the influences are favorable to the development of our individuality to its highest efficiency. If we expect to be given due credit for our efforts and achievements, they must be made where they will stand out distinctively and alone. To do this people of our race must be in a community where the responsibilities of its municipal government are on them and them alone." On them alone to demonstrate the boasted strain of manhood. The boast is all right, but can they make good. We are very much afraid that conceit is too large an element in our compound. We think we can do, because things are being done all about us and to which we are occasionally called into assist. A chance at self-government will not only help to simplify race relations, but it will be a test of capacity of those that must govern and a test of submission by the governed. We have long since contended the community idea meant opportunity. Some are afraid it looks like elimination; it is simplification. The danger is not in those communities where there are but a few colored people when compared with the white people. The relations in such communities are generally cordial. In these no one thinks of elimination, deportation and the rest of the silly twaddle heard at times. The Northwest and the very Northeast verily have not much of a problem. This dispersion of the race is one of the best means of making the best of the condition, as also is this idea by Col. Allenworth, long since carried out by I. T. Montgomery at Mound Bayou, Miss., and at Boley, Okla. Other cities yet are in control of colored men, and which men are developing into the required, by the high pressure of the present day civilization. We can conceive of no way of learning what the responsibility and the genius of government mean unless that responsibility be accepted and that genius be invoked because of the requirements. The apprenticeship, so to speak, will more than mean governoring asset; it will mean prestige established, the dispelling of doubt, and thus a general civil uplift. Many more communities might be brought about, some of which should and ought to become models of excellence, excelling in civic virtue, civic pride—the illuminators of plain or valley, adding unto the name of Negro even as the achievements of Rome added unto the glory of the citizen wheresoever.

The "New York Age" says it does not agree with a certain publication which said that one Negro millionaire would have the influence of a thousand Negro poets and philosophers. It comes near being the truth, as hard as it sounds. We hate to think of money having such tremendous influence; it sounds barbarous; it makes education appear in vain—the wisdom of the books folly. Just enough sense to make money and to keep it seems the better thing when it comes to education versus money. A thousand to one, of course, is putting it strong; it overshoots the mark, yet when one considers carefully the proposition it will appear nearly literally true. Really, a Negro with a million dollars would measure up well with a thousand Negro poets and philosophers in influence. America has even been signalized as a land where the dollar ruled. The stress of life is to obtain it. The slow and dull, plodding from elsewhere, everywhere, soon learn to worship the common god before whom we bow night and day. Well, it is very inconvenient to be without money, but when it holds as a thousand to one against other agencies for good, it seems to be working greatly overtime, outrunning that substantial good that follows the sentiment of poet and philosopher. In the readers of the old times the little boy in one of the lessons wanted to know why every one inquired after the richest man in the village. They are still inquiring in most villages. If popularity or to be popular swayed all men, there would be precious little philosophy and poems. But in spite of the "court" that attends the dollar there are those bent on being poet and philosopher. And they are needed. Food and raiment nor physical pleasure are all in this world. The spirit man must also be fed, given that which makes for soul, its growth, and under which influence and care spreads in divers directions, making for the perfect man as against the mere animal.

COMMISSION DECIDES AGAINST NEGRO BISHOPS No Discrimination on Railroads of the South. WASHINGTON, June — Five bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church, who complained to the interstate commission that they were discriminated against and by the Pullman company in transportation, dining car and sleeping car facilities, have been informed by the commission that their complaint was not warranted. The bishops were Wesley J. Gaines, H. M. Turner, Evans Tyre, C. S. Smith and L. Lumpton. Their complaint was directed against the Seaboard Air Line, the Richmond Railways bursburg and Potomac, the Southern Railway the Centre of Georgia, and the Pullman company. It was alleged that the day coaches furried for Negro passengers in the southeastern states were not equal to those provided in view of the keeping car accommodations were denied Negroes and that they were not allowed to eat in the dining cars. In the hearing of the case, the complaint, the day coaches was abanded in view of the contrary, and with respect to the car facilities the allegations were made by concession.

If the farmer hasn't done it by this time he will have to postpone it until next year. The dry spell will have to work pretty fast if it gets in its work at the customary time, In these days it pays often to be like an owl—do a lot of thinking; not much of anything else, Allensworth, Cal., is off as a new city, manned from stem to stern by Negroes, Long live Allensworth! « ‘The killed and wounded read about on the day after the Fourth reminded one of the reports after a hard-fought battle. Mississippi will get a whole day at the Business Men’s League. What's the matter with—well, the rest of the States. Booker T. Washington recently took Virginia by storm. White and colored people greeted the distinguished edu- cator everywhere. A fair association among the colored people as an incentive to do and to learn, Even farming does not come without effort and experience. The seaside, lake shore and river banks are now being lined by the tired and weary. The other tired and ‘weary ones will have to sweat it out. We might have a line from our nim- rod now doing duty amid the foremost inhabitants of the jungles of Africa, the land of tetze fly and the sleeping sickness. |, And the Kentuckians do love a high fociety function. Nothing of impor- tance is pulled off but what every one you meet was there—would have you think he was there at any rate. So we can’t raise tea in this coun- try, no matter how much we may like it. If as much money were spent in trying as is spent in trying to do some other things, we might have tea. Some are beginning to think poli- tics “am a mighty poh business.” Well, there are several kinds of busi- ness which we will cheerfully recom- mend above politics for ou rpeople. Indianapolis can stand another meeting of the Business Men’s League or a Quadrennial Conference—some- thing big and exciting. We don't ad- mire these “piping times of peace.” ‘The commissioners were well re- ceived in Liberia. The Little Republic was in a ferment of joy—like a boy tossing cap high in air. It had pros- pects. But the realization is quite an- other thing. Chevrons and buttons! Haven't heard anything of them recently. Well, if the State of Florida furnishes the rest of the things, the chevrons and buttons ought to manage to get along somehow. Bear in mind, Mississippi gets a whole day at the Business Men's League at Louisville, Ky. That's what comes of being real smart. The dili- gent are always rewarded. Booker T. is the schoolmaster in the instance. Kansas City was lucky in that it was chosen as the meeting place of the next A. M. B. Quadrennial Con- ference by the Council of Bishops of that church. It is thought that in a money way the conference will mean $50,000 to that city. Glorious old Thomas Jefferson wrote it all men are created free, en- dowed with-certain inalienable rights, such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Did he mean it? Guess he did. So we were in the thing long SAR RPE EIEN MD The ,community life sounds ideal. Some might go in it just for the ex. perience. A community of colored people means all of the advantages. ‘America is particularly blessed for ‘such opportunities. This is the age of Negro responsibility. Will it be ac- cepted or rejected? ‘The weather man in these parts has torn himself badly with the American boy. He sent rain on the Fourth of July, a most unpardonable rain. Any other day would have been all right. But no; the day we celebrate was se- Tected for the most outrasgous down. pouring known to the month. The farmer, however, was delighted; did mot care, he thought, if it never stopped. So what’s one man’s meat is another man’s “pisen,” or, better, “It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good.” Bishop Lampton says that he knows nothing of the threats of a mob at his home in Greenville, Miss. He said that he feared that he was being mis- represented as well as the people of the South. At the earnest solicitation of Bishop Lampton, his State—Missis- sippi—was chosen as the next meet- ing place of the Bishop's Council. Prof. Scarborough delivered a most beautiful address at the unveiling of the monument to Dunbar at Dayton. In fact, every incident of the cere- monies was touching, showing pro- found appreciation for the poet. Dun- bar’s white friends took the lead in bringing about the splendid testi- monial, nor did they rest until the work was finished. Too much praise cannot be given them for their effort, for their toil for one who was bound to them only by ties that were influ- enced by his genius. The Rev, W. K. Inge, D.D., of Lon- don, England, would reduce the fam: ily by legislative enactment. He had specifically in mind his own country and more particularly yet the poorer districts of London, with its famous slums. It will be seen that he is in opposition to ex-President Roosevelt, ‘who was in favor of the unlimited fam: ily. The two individuals, however, are differently influenced, consequently they are not as one on such an impor. tant question. Ir Mr. Roosevelt had been reared in London more than like ly he would have seen things through the glasses of the Rev. Mr. Inge.

Following is an extract from a sermon preached “by the ‘late Bishop Phillips roOks some years ago when prohibition Was being. seriously advorated in Massa- Chusetts "All prohibitory measures are negative. what they have their use no one can doubt. ‘That they have their limits is just as clear, “He who thinks that nothing but the moral methods for the prevention of intemperance and crime can do the work is. a mere theorist of the closet and knows very little about the actual state ‘of human nature. But, on the other hand, the man who thinks that any strictest sys- tem of prohibition, most strietly kept. in foree, could permanently keep men from drink, ‘or any other vice, knows little of human ‘nature elther. hat nature is too active and too live to be kept right by mere negations. You can not kill any one of its appetites by merely starving It. You must-give it its true food, and s0 only can you draw it off from the poison that it covets. Here comes in the absolute necessity of providing rational and cheap amusements for the people whom our phil- anthropists are trying to draw off from the tavern and the gambling house. Pictures, parks, museums, libraries, music, a health- fer and happier religion, a brighter, sun- hier tone to all our lite—these are. the positive powers which must come ‘in with every form of prohibition and restraint be- fore our poorer people can be brought to live a sensible and sober life, COMMERCIAL INFLUENCE ON THE DRINK QUESTION. Phe United States is certainly growing better, particularly on the drink question. Mote Headway. has been ‘made “for the cause of temperance by the commercial in- ferests than ail other interests ‘combined, ‘The railroads headed the movement to pro- mote temperance, and it now extends from the large corporations down £0 the small merchant. ‘The man-who indulges to. ex- cess realizes that he must control himself, or sooner or later drop out of the business World. ‘This is" true reform and. prae- Heal ‘temperance.

While in retirement last winter Miss Hopkins pursued a full-time full-time and made a gittering success of the business. The "creations" worm her as "Flossie Conn" in "The Black Politician," were her own commentary and the fair sex in her audiences.

Colored Family Theatre for the past two weeks, the doors were thrown open Thursday, July 1, to a large and appreciative audience. The theatre has been remodeled beautifully and the new improvements have been made. Also new sensory has been installed. When the performance began the house was packed and Lewis Stock Company occupied the boards. The Lewis Stock Company is one of the best companies that has ever appeared in any oclored theatre in Memphis. For Lewis, the stage manager, presented the works, and the stage manager, Memphis a jingling musical comedy in two acts entitled "Georgia Bells," which sent the people home "glad and happy." The musical introduced many new songs and musical acts the Vandelleville bill was a hit. Lewis and Sanders with their singing and dancing act caught the house and kept them going from the time they appeared until they were called back a number of times. Mr. Scott, of the team of Scott and Crosby, work alone as his wife, had to fill a new engagement. He will be with us till July 5. Mr. Scott more than pleased the people with his monologue and dancing. Next week they seen again as Scott and Crosby and they will be joined by the advantage. Miss / Georgia Biggs, the southern nightgale, just returned from the cheer after cheer when she sang. She will become quite a favorite here. She will become quite a favorite here.

HEADER TO LOUISVILLE CUBS Visitors Defeat Local Team by Scores of 4 to 1 and 10 to 4—Martin and West Pitched for Cubs. Before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a baseball game at Northwestern park, the A. B. C.'s were defeated for a double-header by the Louisville Cubs, who, by scores the championship of Kentucky, claim the 5th and 6th both games were fast and snappy, the "little bears" showing some unusual semi-professional class. From start to finish of each game neither team was willing to concede victory to the other until the last innings. The Cubs brought a delegation with them that was not afraid to use lung force and that rooted hard for the visitors. Griffin and although losing, did credit to himself by his splendid showing. "Griff" tried hard to beat the Louisvillians, but they set a Mr. Arthur Talbot (John Lowdog), Mist Inez Clough and Mrs. Odesa Warren Grey, were entertained by Miss Mattie Wilkes on last Sunday evening. Miss Tutsie Allen, of the Red Moon Company, has gone to Norfolk, Virginia to visit her relatives. She remains with the company sorts her earrings, and then she will resume her duties in the chorus. At the baseball game played between the Elks and Cole and Johnson's Colts a short while ago, Mr. Shepp Edmonds and Mr. Henry Gant, both players representing Cole and Johnson's team, were slightly injured. Cole and Johnson's Red Moon Company is expected to play a return engagement with the philanthropy organization. Last year the cellar production appeared at the Park theatre for three nights. Most of the old members will remain with the company, as set, in his resignation to join the Smart. Set Company, Mr. Tribble is from Indianapolis. Since Arthur Talbot has removed to the vicinity of 134th Street, he can scarcely take a stroll for the evening, without being in danger of damsels. Just think how pleasant it is to be strolling by and hear the extravagant remark greet your ears, "O. I named my pet bulldog, after the talbot is one character-makeup spoiling his good looks DEHOMEY FROM END TO END. BY JULI JONES. The houses along the stroll seem to be doing a better business than the houses outside of the loop. The Pelkn is still in the van, and has been putting on the kind of bills that suit the patrons. The management has made a clean shake-up all over the house from staff. The team has a new manager; the restaurant is now under the direction of Eddie Carter. J. Ed Green has resigned as musical director. Mr. Joe Murray has his noise as he goes New York to take charge of the orchestra department in one of the big publishing houses. Jerry Mills will be featured in Sid Perkins' big and Harrison Stewart goes into the house. There is a grand change everywhere. Straight vaudeville and small comedies will be the rule for the rest of the season. * * * Just before going to press somebody put a double lock on the Temple of Music door—somebody. * * * The Grand is still the big noise, doing its usual big business. J. F. Moores was the feature card, with O'Neil-Ward close up. Mrs. Nellie Small, who has been quite ill, has improved sufficiently to be moved to her Ohio home, but is not yet out of danger. Billy King, the producer of the Georgia Minstrels, says this season's line-up will open the oldest inhabitant's eyes. The show will be headed with young lead. The Temple is still in line and doing its best Miss Bessie LaBelle, the female baritone; George Hall and six little horn tooters. There was some talk about a change in the house. Manager Summer Byron says "no." The Golden Gate Quintette fell in from the West. After a few days' rest they will have a tour of the house. They have a long tour booked in the old country. If this act hits Europe we will have some news right. This cat is over the goods. There's one spot in Chicago that looks like it needs to make behemoth pay it some attention. The Leland Giants' Summer Garden. If they only offer a good card they will get the play, as an outlet in the amusement line. --- My, but how things have changed in the last two seasons. Once upon a time, the New York producer depended upon Chicago talent. But not all is different. There isn't a lot of talent, and there is a bird and will make good. Wait until that name is announced. The Freeman has another office right here in Chicago. The staff has invited "Yours truly, Julian Jones, Jr." to pay them a call. Jones doesn't attend any inclosed or invitations to the show, but he stays away grounds for Jones. So I guess they will have to wait until to-morrow. Winston, of the Leland Giants, met with a serious accident during the Cuban Giants' engagement here. It was a sad blow to Dehomey, as he was playing the game at a 500 clip; was named the wild man on bases. It breaks up the slugging three and stone-wall field—Winston, Payne and Hill. Elmore and Ray write that they are now booking agents for Iowa and Nebraska, over the Harvest Circuit. All open-air day work and no nights, but all acts have to do the same turn—so on one day. Second show begins at 12:30; curtain at 6 o'clock. Acts must do trying up the wheat so it won't come down. This dear old stroll has its trouble right in the height of the season. The weather man has double-crossed everybody. First he sent us 200 in the shade—had the ice men sent us 100 in the sun—but out one moment's notice, the thermometer dropped to freezing. Well, he's cutting up, that's all. The slot houses are dying a slow death all over the city. The Monogram had a big week. Billy and Saddle McCraver drew the people from everywhere. They are popular and will work hard to draw results. The management has stirred up all kinds of trouble by announcing that for the summer five cents will be the admission fee, and the same will be. How can the sales be waited and see. This move has carried the war to the bitter end. The Pekin Theater, at Cincinnati, O., which was the first colored theater in Ohio, is doing a fine business. Packed house, with a large dance floor, and a fine hillel the past week. Johnson and Massengale presented a comedy duo which was very fine and created great laughter. Johnson is Ohio's favorite comedian, and he plays with the trombone, George Hall, the best piano player in Cincinnati, and John Wickliffe, the famous trap drummer, of Louisville. He plays with their lively music. Miss Odessa Crosby, a charming little soubrette, keeps the house in an uproar with her ragtime songs, while Miss Marie Smith charms every one of the audience. The Pekin Theater is owned and managed by Olive Dempsey. CUBS BOW TO SPRUDELS. Lose First Game of a Series with West Baden's Crack Team. WEST BADEN, Ind.—After defeating the A. B.

The Cubs brought a delegation with them that was not afraid to use lung force and that rooted hard for the visitors. Griffin pitched the first game, and, although losing, did credit to himself by having a hard time to beat the Louisvilleians, but tried hard to beat the Louisvilleians, but spaced too fast for his support. He executed the kind of headwork that goes to win game. While he made four assists, he was strong and up but not usual performance, chalked up the errors which practically gave the visitors their best chances to score. Lolo's arm was at a strong and high to first base on two different bases, and the secondly. "Big Boy" did the grabbing behind the saucer, but for some reason he could not unite the stick with Martin's, who missed the ball. The Fall City boys made but on harder and that was when Robinson, in right field, misjudged a fly in his territory. C's easiest feat was base stealing. Morton did the swipping. Griffin did the "swipping." Wallace at second and Carter short were the sensation of the Louisville infield while Mitchell commented among the fans on his quickest and squeeze on the sphere behind the bat. A double-header was scheduled for the Fifth, but was postponed on account of rain. FIRST GAME. A. B. C. s. R. H. O. A. E.

Dallas at short surprised everybody. He played an errorless game. Robinson is still one of the best outfielders in semi-professional baseball. The Mighty Demas secured only one scratch bingle in the two games. Watson was a stone wall at third. He jailed everything that came his way. Manager Butler said that he had never before seen his boys play such poor ball. Best drawing card and double-header of the season. More such games, if you please. One of the Louisville rooters offered a wager of 10 to 7 that Bubs would take the series. That little stunt between Jack Johnson Morris and Sam Langford Watson didn't last a round. Davis knocked the ball over left field fence three times each time sending it outside the foul line. George Abrams, the "game keeper," must have had a hunch, as he failed to place a bet on the locals. Centerfielder Emery looks good. He had his batting eye, securing a single and a double in the last game. The change in the lineup of the A. B. C's in the second game made no difference in the Cub's slugging feast. Stringer Black, the genial manager of the Cubs, was brim full of confidence, but failed to "un-mit" his dough. "I am strong for you A. B. C.'s, but Oh, you Cubs,"—an admirer of the local team, but he is from Kentucky. Wallace, "the mighty Demus," played all around second and everywhere else.

Ed ("Kid") Lee is said by the management to be no longer connected with the Cubs in any capacity whatever. The Cubs would have gotten $25.00 besides their share of the gate receipts had they scored a shut-out in first game. "Bud" Hicks was among those present. He is perhaps one of the stunnerest friends and rooters the Cubs has in all Louisville. When things got interesting, you couldn't tell who played second for the Kentuckians, Wallace or Carter—a pair hard to beat. Jack Tatters, in his light suit was a busy man. The game, in his mind, was sewed up for Louisville before the fray was called 10 arms. The Louisville Cubs ball team were royally entertained by Messrs. Wilson, Kurkendall and Jones at their dancing class July 5th. The "Mighty" Demas received a cordial hand when he came to the plate in the first game. Dermas is popular with the Indianapolis buggs. Capt. Booker was on the job but created no sensations around the initial sack. He is a good captain, however, and has his men well disciplined. Griffin exhibited headword as well as good use of his speedy "wing." Had all the A. B. C.'s played "Griff's" style the results would have been different. Martin and Mitchell, the first battery introduced by the visitors, made a good impression. Their work was consistent and of a high order throughout the fray. Briscoe, the erstwhile brilliant left fielder of the visitors did the village school stunt by his mitch an easy fly that fell directly in his mitch to the righest of everybody. West and Collins, who were in the points for the visitors in the second game cleanest play. West served up a brand of slants and benders that kept the local sticksters swatting the atmosphere. Jesse Palmer, the Freeman representative in the stand. He was a demon rooter throughout the contest for Louisville and was drawn up in a knot and did not relax until the last A. B. C. warrior had been scaled.

CHICAGO, Ill.—The Logan Squares downed the Chicago Baseball League leaders, Saturday, when Jimmy Callahani's men fostered the Leland Giants, with "Rube" Foster on the ground, by the 5:11am. Another first division team was trimmed also, the Gunthers' batting fest with Anson Colts by the score of 8 to 6, while the Milwaukee by the score of 2 to 6. Another of the largest crowds that ever saw a semi-regular baseball game crowded into Jimmy Callahani's home ground by field, "Rube" Foster in all parts, hard into the crowd. He pitched a grand game at that. In the seventh inning he had the bases filled, with no outs, but retired the side without Several infeld hits, along with Catahans' two-bagger in the fourth, netted the Logan Squares two of their runs, while they added three more in the eighth on doubles by Calhoun. The second catch hit by "Cai" and Flavin's infeld out. Eddie Stack pitched in grand style, allowing the Glants but three hits. The work of Bob Meinke and Wright at short for both teams was of the most sensational order, and they netted in a one-hand catch in the field. Score: SUNDAY'S GAME. The game between the Leland Giants and the Anson Colts, Sunday, see-saw all the way, the Leland getting three runs in the game. The Anson got four runs in hert's home run. The Anson got four runs CALLAHAN AND FRASER MEET. J. Callahan had to extend himself to win his game, the battle bringing out two major leaguers on the slab, Callahan and Fraser, who pitched against each other.

LINES OF ARGIE MITCHELL. How dear to us is her lithe, slender figure's poise, As she stands before us, mastering all the keys, With all the purity known breathed in her voice, So flower-like and fine and full of lofty ease; From power to pathos, falter, sink and change To music of the race, the wonders low, Wearied expression of its genius so strange, O sing to us, once again, of the "red, red rose," While we sit thrilled, gazing at your eyes, And see the rose shaken by the winds from its repose, Softly this way and that, with tender grace, How our hearts and souls seem to joy with you! And a feeling anew seems to come over our hearts, As the tears drop from our eyes like dew, While our lips are saying, "I love but you!" What will they do with the Oyster Man next season? Fidler and Shelton might carry a great deal of weight when it comes to selecting stars. If you will believe it, every team can change their act to something new, original and applaud-winning, each week. Hurrah for Jull Jones! A man who makes himself interesting by saying what he thinks. He hands out taffy where it is needed. The average Negro stage critic is not in it unless he throws flowers at about every performer that comes along, be they bad or worse than that. Like in all other walks of life, they praise you never until you are dead no matter how good and active you were and how favorable you were to your coworkers. You never will be able to hear an actor praise another. If you ask one what, he thinks of another's ability he may give credit one time out of a hundred, and that will be in a mighty good way. Elmore & Ray, it always pleases me to hear, are doing well on the coast. Here they work hard to produce something entertaining that is all their own. About every vaudievelle team that comes up with a new idea, they've been going big everywhere, but that their act is original, and So-and-so, who is also a better circuit, "stole a lot of their stuff." --- The way our shows have been breaking up in the last two seasons it is safe to say that it will be a hard matter to get back to the show. In fact, it looks like a waste of time to join any of them, for it looks like something is always bound to happen. King & Bailey, those two lads who have been such a popular hit with the Black Patti Troubadours for the past two years, drawing card on the Sullivan and Considine circuit that George Archer has extended their bookings in the Northwest for five more weeks. Bert A. Williams always seems to be about a mile ahead of the song-slinging productions that he produces the sort of compositions that no other performer is able to get hold of. Every song seems to be filled with home-spun philosophy, and a strange, sweet "That's a-Pleasant." His latest song hit is --- A great many colored performers bill themselves as leading comedians, playwrights, songwriters, producers and stage managers. They are the whole show. But some of them believe that they can write songs, plays and spectacles that will suit everybody. Well, they won't for what they are is insufficient. If they not worth producing. We have a hundred and more performers who do nothing but rehash such plays as "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "The South Before the War" every year and yet they want to be known as playwriters, producers, songwriters and everything else but the real nothing. Will the Oyster Man take the road? A great deal of talk is being made concerning Hurtig and Seamons's Oyster Man's role in the game. The Oyster Man Since the death of Ernest Hogan rumors as to who might head the show have been circulating in large amounts in theatrical circles. Some say that Harrison Stewart has been assigned to that saying that Irving Jones will be the star. It was stated through the newspapers one month ago that Harrison Stewart managed the source Harrison Stewart then Stewart has returned to the Pekin—his first love. Now rumors have it that Fidler & Shelton are to take the leads, but the Oyster Man has been learned from this popular team. However, a well-known authority states that the show is to be newly launched next season with a large cast of high-star performers and some well-known star. HARRISON STEWART SCORES IN "THE HUSBAND." CHICAGO, Ill., June 7—Lyles and Miller's three-act comedy "The Husband" made its return to the Pekin Theater May 31 to the largest and most fashionable theatrical company filled. The music is by Joe Jordan, and the piece-de-resistance of the Pekin repertoire was handsomely staged by J. Edward Green. This play, which has formerly been reviewed in these columns, is a real Negro musical, but it is not a mugger. A mugger Motts has produced. Harrison Stewart, the pride of Chicago and the idol of State street, with his irresistible abundance of old crushed silk plug hat, and with a face that had not been shaved. If the reception he gets from his continual bits of humor is any criterion, it is safe to predict that he will be a successful but not the late Ernest Hogan. It is true that in his antics he can come nearer to an imitation of Mr. Hogan than any other advancing contestants. But Stewart is not an unabashed but charming character. He just a skilful young enthusiast, natural, unassuming and capable, who punctuates his scenes more as a means of concentration to further explode his humor than of a mere self-confidence. Hence Mr. Stewart lacks the very science of practical artistic development which made Mr. Hogan famous. Mr. Stewart's greatest common faults are that he dances too much, he pays no attention and makes no effort to conceal it, knowing well that people will tolerate it in Chicago, even if they won't in New York, and as a dancer even rated very good. he pays no attention to the audience, and art which he cultivates to a finish, the world is mide and the field is large in --- Jerry Mills, as Mr. Durant, looking for a wife, had little to do, and did it well, as usual. C. B. Wintrey, as the butter, is a young couple, and he will be able to be placed and probably further tried out hereafter. Charles Glipin, as "dishrag," was entertaining in a scene with J. Ras Jones, a young man in a slum scene with Mr. Glipin and William Crawford, another fairly good actor. George Cooper and William Robinson, the famous vaudeville stars, made an entrance, and met with their usual reception. The chorus, which is made up of young people, danced very well and sang fairly good. The music, which is under the direction of Joe Jordan, dragged in the sentimental numbers. It is somewhere off in dreamland where Mr. Jordan goes; sometimes he wakes up and smiles, but why not stay awake and keep the orchestra together? J. Ed Green only appeared in one scene, but has been seen this season in two or three dramas, which I regret. The praise cannot be heard to Mr. Green for the value of his services to the management, being hampered by circumstances that no class of people except actors, stand up pencers and supers can hardly The Pekin is now giving performances that should be better patronized by the colored race of Chicago, especially when they come as clean and free from profanity as this one does. From observations of the city, we can see that aspects which attract in Chicago, but not elsewhere—swearing and immoral dances. I have seen the same thing in high-class vaudeville down town. The best quality of humor, songs and dancing the colored race of Chicago is the effort that can be recommended to the public by any intelligent critic. RAMBLING. Rachel L. Walker! Well that’s a very refreshing name indeed. The older concert-goers will remember that very lovely Rachel Walker, who was doing cause, on first seeing her, one would not think of her as a shinger—just a most agreeable-looking woman—too tame-appearing for the great work she was doing, but felt that knew her all along. There are people of that kind; then there are others that seeming to be acquainted with her in day to become acquainted with them, if then. Quiet as she appeared, she did not forget who she was when the time came to act. She early learned to demand that she be treated with something the most terrifying-looking artists scarcely dreamed of along about that time. Rachel looked easy and sweet, but she was not a very charming girl, fairly took one's breath. And when she got out into the deep of her calling, her prices soared accordingly. She was used to big money, and could not think of it in Miss Walker had been to Indianapolis previous to the time I arranged for her coming, but it was in a small way—she came to the school afterward when she responded to my solicitation. She was gaining fame. Already she was the leading soprano in a white curtain in the university white schools, or rather the mixed schools, of that city, popular among her people and with the white people; she had great reason to put in for the extras, and she was the one holding to her jobs—advised her so, after she deliberately requested my opinion. I did not see the musical promise for her as great as she showed. I thought she was a good and good thing, and it slowly threw it down. At that time, about fifteen years ago, the outlook for colored stage people was not nearly so bright as it is to-day, and as it concerns a woman of Miss Walker's makeup and talent, I do not feel now that I was very much wrong. The stage of to-day offers many advantages to those thoroughly prepared. There is a class of singers that are beyond the requirement, and owing to great ability in singing, they are able to perform others of the same class. Such people as Drury, Busley, Walker, Hackley and others yet like them cannot be used as hundreds of others are to-day. In fact, the skill of the singers is in too much. The stuff is in the race by nature, and it is expected that it makes good, even if there is a little less eating. The race is due its Bohemian set, and the set that swears by all that's gone before is the one that makes the race say very much for the physical good of the pioneers, but there must be ploneers, and whose chief duty is to suffer. Miss Walker sang at Botel Church in this city, where she won as many friends by her engaging manners as she did by her artistic renditions. She was carried away with her work, as she should have been. She spoke of her teacher, the best teacher in the country. She paid him a pretty penny for his work, but, as music teaching goes he was worth it. But Rachel was bent on going to Europe; she wanted that European prestige like so many Americans, and who are not content unless they get it. Her Indianapolis success had some influence, and it was not long after that before she was heard in a roof garden in New York, and from all accounts with success. But that was not Europe; she, however, was getting herself together, appearing here and that same spot again, and I rather think she passed as a white artist at times—a somewhat doubtful thing to do, in this country, at least, since the women are filled with white women of similar ability, above average stage singer, but not strong enough to be in the top-notch diva class, consequently do not get in the big money.

Funkhouser, closing as all the guests. "Now bless us all in the dedication of this monument today and so long as this stone remains and the words of this tablet can be read—mill time and must have all this for the sight of man may the rich and the poor, the old and the young, the black man and the white man, take from this monument inspiration Through the unpleasant marital relations of her parents, much of her former life was made public recently in a journal that published a letter in which she been said that Miss Walker came from Louisville, Ky. This information comes from thos who knew her there, and who spoke in reference to her singing when a little girl. In going to Cleveland, advanced nursing school, she while seized, reaching the position above mentioned. Some facts were set forth in the publication referred to which would not be very pleasurable for Miss Walker to hear, and which would have them through this article. Perhaps it would be best for me to say that it was nothing damaging to her reputation or to that of her parents, since the mere mention might lead her and her friends to so believe if they should chance to read this column. Just how Miss Walker is making it is not known. Report has it that she sings occasionally before crowned heads. This is sometimes called a "crowned head" of her ability, and mayhaps a continuity of employment. She is making her home in London, England, in company with her mother. She is something above thirty in age, hence has much of her future in the city. Miss Walker is among the very few great colored singers, being on the Hackley type, but not so brilliant. She gives evidence of the utmost culture, doing the great things with an ease that seems to be impossible. She does not see present in what she does; that is to say, she does not seem to say all the while, "That's me." She seems to forget herself, not in the sense of enthusiasm or fervor, but that she seems to have a great, faithful assurance—so good to see and hear. Rachel is a lyric poem, she and her singing. Miss Walker's friends in America will be greatly pleased to know that she is doing as well as report announces. She will be able to give her friends will be still more pleased when they can hear her again. And to hear her seems an impossible thing. Concert tours for color stars, that is, a single performance, have not been very successful. There is no place for her in the colored companies. So we in this country must have a new role in own Rachel ever sing again. Thus in she she is an exile, having no interest or reason for visiting her native land, excepting, perhaps, to see her relatives. Great festivals should be arranged annually in the cities of large Negro population, where these great colored artists are present. There is an amount of the proceeds would go to them, and that would be the object. Purses of from $500 to $1,000 should be turned over to them, three or four, at these appearances. There are also these great things, and must, if it expects to encourage the art side. All should not be left to the white people, the race is deceived, and whatsoever direction that is for the good. The most distinguished consideration was paid the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar, poet, at his home, Dayton, Ohio, last fall. He was a white and colored, gathered where all that is mortal of him lay, attesting to the regard they had for him. The Dayton Palladium, news, publication by the poet, possesses honorable deeds, due at least a half page to his life, writings and the beautiful memorial service. It said. The group at the grave of the poet Saturday afternoon in Woodlawn cemetery represented the best there is of the white race and the black race in Dayton. As both races gathered to do him honor, the grave was moved to the cemetery his memory at the unveiling of the memorial. The sweet, fresh air, the full June leafage, the bird-songs, all the nature sound and color which the poet loved, was moved to his genius. The grave is on a high portion of the cemetery from which may be seen a sweep of territory which takes in much of Dayton and the surrounding hills. The recognition was most fitting and in all respect. The poet would have been well pleased had he known what his fellowmen had been doing. The memorial was simple, grandly simple, a huge boulder dug from a valley of his native State, bearing on its surface a stone inscribed with the name Lawrence Dunbar, done by Tiffany, also the last verse from that sweetest, most touching of his poems, "Death Song": "Lay me down beneaf do willers in de grass. Wha de branch'll go a-singin' as it pass; An' w'en I's a-layin' low, I'kn hear it as it go. Singin' 'Sleep, my honey, tey ko'res at as'." The simplicity of Dunbar is well marked in what he must have considered one of the best things he did. The climax owing to the preceding thought and expressions stand unruwlied. "Singin' this is the race to which this has in mind the race to which he belonged — its trials and tribulations, and of which he was such a large partaker. Services were Dr. Davis W. Clark of Cincinnati, Judge C. W. Dustin and President Scarborough of Wilberforce College, the poet's mother, Philarmonic Society president, member and president circles. The program was as follows: (Dunbar).....Philharmonic Society Planting of willow. Planting of willow. Delivery of deed to Mrs. Dunbar. Benediction.....Rev. E. W. B. Curry Speaking of the history of the memorial, the Dayton publication said: "The dayton memorial is an important memorial to Paul Laurence Dunbar was a letter by Dr. Davis W. Clark of Cincinnati to the Dayton Journal on February 14, 1915. He said in brief, Paul Laurence deserves to be remembered to come visitors to Dayton will seek the grave of this poet-laureate of the Negro race. It should be worthily located and marked. It agreeable to his mother, I am a proud member of the high privilege of being the first subscriber. I name a very modest sum that many may join in it." The memorial, an account was opened by Dr. Clark with the Provident Savings Bank, credit to the Dunbar Memorial Fund, and circulars were sent out to many cities in the United States in the memorial committee.

"Personal letters were also sent to many prominent literary men who had written to Dr. Davis about ensuring their co-operation. It was not difficult. The idea appealed by force of its own appropriateness and touched those whose lives had been affected by Davis's verses. The following persons agreed to act as an advisory committee: Rev. Dr. Davis Wasgatt Clark, 222 West Boston; Dr. Davis Wentworth, Cincinnati Wentworth Higginson, Boston, Mass.; Dr. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee; Al. Dr. Levi Gilbert, Cincinnati, Al. Dr. W. C. M.

The ceremonies were opened with a invocation by Dr. G. A. Funkhouk, closing. Now bless us all in the dedication of this monument today and so long as this stone remains and the words of this tabulation remain, we have removed all this from the sight of men may the rich and the poor, the old and the young, the black man and the white man, take from this monument inspiration for the Lord's largest purpose in every life, and may we all be brought together in the general assembly at Thy right hand with the Father and the Holy Spirit, we do now and shall ever give the praise of our salvation. Amen." One of the speakers summed up his virtues as follows: "He has faithfully reflected in his verse the warm hopefulness and quaint philosophy of cabin, field and hearthside. He came to the valley, and in a captivating way, mirrored the earth's beauty and filial love. He was loyal to his race. Like a prophet he felt himself identified with his people. He suffered and rejoiced as they suffered and rejoiced. He came to erase such accounts from what he wrote. And each account of what wealth did not turn his head or cause him to forget or be ashamed of his lowly kindred. On the contrary, he stood capturing as he did their hopes and fears. So he could write, almost imperiously: "Hear me pleading now, Who hearest unashamed upon my brow. The lover of the tropic sun." The speaker concluded with the following interesting paragraph: "William Dean Howell, Edmund Clarence Stedman, Eugene Field, James Whitcomb Riley, James Lane Allen and Robbins, the author of the book that named Paul Laurence Dunbar poet laureate the Negro race. But when all is said, his true distinction lies in the fact that he interpreted the particular to the universal, and that he also demonstrated by his own genius that the Negro also belongs to the divine family on earth, in spite of all prejudiced denial. He easily molded the white man's language into the modes of thought of the African people, showing that they are interchangeable. So the community of genius is illustrated and proven. The accident of his seniority as the poet of his race would alone insure that he would not be among ten million. Again, he did not inherit; he originated. His race had nothing to transmit in the way of literary or poetic instinct or training. That this man was the hero of heretofore the white man's own distinctive art, and excel and surpass in it, is the marvel of the hour. The Caucasian's wealth of literary inheritance and training of seven monuments seemed give him the advantage he greatly furnished and heavily handicapped son of Ham. Right worthily is Paul Laurence Dunbar laureal-decked." Prof. Scarborough paid the poet a glowing tribute, saving in part: "Paul Laurence Dunbar had genius. Only a genius could have sung as he has sung, only a genius could have triumphed as he has triumphed, only a genius could have sung as he has sung, only a genius could have literary literature for himself as he has done. His death was untimely. His career was not completed, and he the not have done more years been given. And "Here we may repeat that whatever definition we may give to genius, the fact is that no man possessing such as the black boy has Genius forces its way upward. It demands recognition. Dunbar's native powers forced the world to give him place and to sing his praises. A remember inoplem in the world was mentioned before an audience, and the people vied in enthusiastic applause of the black boy who had sung himself the greatness of his intellectual powers. "If this side of Negro life could be dwel upon more. If the career made by the Negro could be held up more before the world, if the intellectual progress of the Negro could be taken up for consideration to a greater extent, then the situation would come from the days of slavery to the present could form the subject of more speeches and orations. I feel very sure that we should allow Amos to be willing to grant them an advantage, a favorable consideration in the matters that make for the highest good of the race. "If the literature of Dunbar is taken upon its merits, we feel sure that both the prose and poetry of others of the race will be likewise favorably regarded, and that the Negro will be benefited. The lives of such men as Dunbar, Tanner and Washington, who have with others made a future for the people of the Negro, will be benefited. There are many of the race here and there, in nearly every city, building slowly but surely in literature and art, and making a way for those who are to follow."

Fort Erie Races July 5 to 28. Burns, O'Brien and Ross. N-e-x-t! Nelson-Wolgast bout, July 13, at Los Angeles. Johnson has called off his bout with Kauffman. Twenty-eight games at home for the Indians. Jen Mace, of England, is the oldest fighter living. How long will Toledo be at the bottom of the list. Marvin Hart is oldest heavyweight now in the game. When Jack Johnson comes to town everybody's at the depot. As they are all in the game for the money—and so is Johnson. The Louisville Cubs were entertained at the Old Fellows' matinee Monday. The Waldors, of the Cincinnati, O., have played no ball lately as they now have grounds on which to practice. Johnson made good this season on the Brazil (Ind.) High School baseball team. He was the only colored boy on the team. He sena de left to de stomach, to da jaw. He maka we feela blue. Johnson, he gotta a longa, great gigga reach. Aint he Ross? Milwaukee leads the American Association while a club of the same name from the same place brings up the rear in the Chicago Leauge. Kaufman and Ketchell are children in age, as well as in ability in comparison to Johnson. The former two being twenty-three years of age respectively. As Johnson is in the game for the most part in it—as the others are—if he hits his rate up of getting big guar- minutes (with such case at that) for a few minutes in the ring with such men as O'Brien and Ross it won't be of any use to meet the concern—that is as for as the concern. WHO. WHY AND WHAT. What about the St. Louis Lloyds? Who is the best player on the Louisville Cubs? What teams will win the league pen- nants? Why aren't there more colored baseball parks? Why doesn't James J. Jefferies get serious? Why doesn't Ketchell want to fight Langford? What has become of John L. Sullivan— dope run out? Why does Fitzsimmons want to fight Johnson again? What does Jefferies mean by creating race antagonism? What has become of the woman's base- ball league project? Who will be the first colored sensation in the motor world? Why don't Indiana, Illinois and Ken- tucky form a league? Why hasn't the local "Y" a baseball team and a tennis club? Why don't semi-professionals peek in form like the leaguers? What fighter was a boxer of greater ability than George Dixon? What team can take a series for the Birmingham (Ala.) Giants? What fighter today could whip Joe Walcott when in his prime? What has become of the Chicago Unions, are they still in old-time form? Why is it that Davis of the "Ranitis" knocks them over the fence so often? What baseball team has a better knowledge of the national game than the Cuban Stars? Who is the fellow that can lick Kaufman, Ketchell, Jefferies and all the rest of 'em? Why don't some of the lightweight come out—Gans and Blackburn are out of the game? Why don't the West Baden and the French Lick teams give us a game in the Hoosier metropolis? What team is really the champion of the South. Almost every team on the other side of the Ohio claims the title. DONT'S FOR THE "WATER DOGS." Don't keep your mouth open. Don't "go in" on a full stomach. Don't go into deep water when learning. Don't go in the water when you are tired. Don't go swimming oftener than twice a day. Don't frighten a fellow swimmer, it may prove fatal. Don't duck anyone and don't allow anyone to duck you. Don't forget to take a good rubbing after you come out of the water. Don't forget to teach your brother, and if possible and convenient, your sister. Don't lose your judgement because the water is fine and stay in too long. Don't jump or dive into the water at first. Authorities disagree on the manner advise swimming a plunge. Some physicians advise swimming a plunge. They have their advice on the ground that on a sudden entrance into the water the body ushes to the lager organs of the body. They advise that the prived of their share which causes them to contract, and which means the swimmer may be overtaken by cramps. One will be safe, as far as this goes, by following the instructions. JOHNSON MEETS ROSS. World's Heavyweight Champion Out boxes Tony Ross at Pittsburgh. Special to THE FREEMAN. TITTSBURG, Pa. June 30—Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion of the world, was boxed by boxed Tony Ross, of Newcastle, Pa., in a second bout given under the auspices of the National Athletic Club at Duquesne Garden. After a grueling draw on account of State laws prohibiting tournament rendering of a decision in boxing contests, public opinion willingly conceded the better of the so from start to finish. It was a fast fight, both men up and coming, the entire six rounds. Johnson, however, continued, repeatedly rushing Ross, but self-landing effectively. The crowd shouted wildly whenever Ross landed a telling blow, hooted Johnson for his apparently rough Referee Jimmy Dime, said after the fight that Ros did remarkably well in the situation. The man had it over him in weight and height. The Fight by Rounds. ROUND 1 Johnson led left to stomach and repeated healed blow with telling effect. Ross led right to Johnson pushed a stiff one with left to Ross, peating the blow with a right counter, drawing blood from Ross's nose, and with a left and right to the face stagegiven to his knees, taking the count of nine, the bell saving him. Johnson's round. ROUND 2—The men rushed to the center of the ring. Ross leading with a left to jab him with a smile and sent a wicked left to Ross's face, following it with a counter to stomach. Ross's mouth was bleeding freely. Johnson repeatedly swung a wicked left hand and crushed the Newcastle boxer on his legs. The men held on in the center of the ring. Johnson landing left to face with good deed until the bell rang. Johnson's round. ROUND 3—Ross from the tap of the gong tried to make a better showing than in the two previous rounds. With a right to the arm and left to the jew he drove the gong from Johnson's hand. Ross showed his extreme nervousness. Johnson continued to use his vicious left swings. Ross stumbled in an effort to get away from Johnson's jab and clipped at the end of eight for a rest. Johnson's round. ROUND 4—Johnson came up smiling, with Ros in distress. Johnson goaded the Newcastle boxer, making remarks condescendingly. Ross led to jaw and the men clinched. Ross made a vicious lunge, swinging his right to Johnson's jaw, which was the first effective blow. Ross landed and ended with the men in center of the ring in a clinch. Johnson's round. ROUND 5—Ross came up apparently groggy, with Johnson sarcastically grinning over, easy light so far. With a vicious left swing, Ross roked his rocked. Ross tried bravely to stand off the big black, but there was no chance. Johnson was in and out like a dash and Ross could not stop him. Ross came from further punishment. Johnson's round. Round 6—Ross came up willing and led with it, left uppercut on Johnson's jaw. With Ross, he made up uppercut closing Ross's eye, the men going to a clinch in the center of the ring, with Ross, his left wrist, his left swing, used so effectively in the previous round. The gong struck with Ross hanging on. Johnson's round. Jimmy Dime was referee. Waiters and Bell Hops Play Exciting Game of Ball. Special to THE FREEMAN: LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Special) On Tuesday, June 22, two of the most amusing as well as most entertaining baskets have ever been witnessed in this city was that of the waiters and bell boys of the Seelback Hotel, on the Louisville Glants' park, which resulted in a victory for the waiters of 6, the third game, and 5 to 4 in favor of the bell boys in the second. In the early part of the game George H. H. Clinton published for the waiters, was knocked off of the rubber and Manager Tom Florence placed South Paw McCain in the box. McCain succeeded in stopping few runs and brought about little hitters. The errors made by James Loving, of the waiters, nine proved costly in this game, making it possible for the waiters to win. The feature of the second game was the remarkable twirling of Manager Tom Florence, although this game went to the Bell Boys by a score of 5 to 1. The wait-till game it was through that cause that they lost the game. Florence could not be found very easily at no stage of the game. An opponent had thrown a third strike and the catcher missed long enough to give the batter a chance to get to first plate. Another instance when the manager-pitcher grew careless after continually striking hitters out a man known to be a poor batter knocked the ball over the fence. A large number of the guests of the Seedbach saw the game and laughed and cheered. The first game was the most amusing game ever seen here, and everybody thought it worth more than the price of admission. The star playing was that McMahon of the Western wonder" and Manager Tom Florence, known as "Steel Arm John." THINKERS AS WELL AS PLAYERS Winning baseball teams are not made up of brawn alone; unless they have men of brains on the payroll they don't cop the money. They are not made up of teams which finish the season at the top are made up of men with thinking machines in their coops. They are known to be a team of sluggers who will forge ahead, says Tip Wright, but it usually gets on in a rain check and loses in the long run. Strategists, men capable of originating and executing plays, are found there or thereabouts at the finish. A man who can decide what to do when runners are on the bases and the ball is coming toward him, and can do it to as soon as possible. A man who can command a salary when the man of brawn, who always does the expected, is counted among the majority. It is because they think quickly and act instinctively. A man who can work is unison, that man like Hal Chase, Joe Tinker, Roger Bresnahan, Herman Schaefer, Johnny Evers and men whose names are household words, have reached the top. Frequently the best planned strategy is given a moon ride and the men who planned it look as cheap as last season's straw hat. For instance, when a player drives into intercepted and a fast double play follows, because the infielder, hurrying to cover the bag, runs into the ball, when under ordinary circumstances he would not have been within yards of it. But the long distance player will win out, and the mechanical player will be nowhere. REV. LANGFORD TAUGHT SAM. Brother of Sam Langford Gae Him His First in the Use of the Manly Art Now is Ready for Them All. Special to THE FREEMAN NEW YORK—Sam Langford, the colored bear who put Ian Hague, the English heavyweight, away in four rounds, the National Sports Hall of Fame, several national champions, is back from his trip abroad. Joe Woodman, his manager, will post a forfeit of $5,000 and issue a challenge to match Langford against him. He will win, and Langford will probably have as much trouble getting on a bout now as he did before he felt, for England. He will probably know how he can lick any man in the world. The English believe him, too, and he's a blooming big favorite with all, from the sporting Earls Cup to the World Cup. While we are on the subject of Langford we may as well tell something of him that few know. He was born 21 or 22 years ago—his father doesn't know which—in the village of Weymouth Falls. But the people have never been much interested in Sam, and he was born 21 or 22 years ago of his ring of downhill events. Up in Weymouth Falls he has a brother named Charles who is a minister and the pastor of the little colored church of the village. He has lessons in the manly art, for the now. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Rev. Langford was quite skilful with the gloves once. Sam started out as a fisherman at a place called Grand Maran. From there he drifted from one village to another, sometimes timber camping and sometimes logging the logs. Then he headed for eth United States, and has made this country his home. INDIANAPOLIS FIGHTER SENTENCED TO PRISON Jack Blackburn Gets a Term of Fifteen Year. Eastern University dryers. Eastern, Alpqua, Polga. PHILADELPHIA—Jack Blackburn, the Indianapolis pugilist, on trial for the murder of Alonzo Polk, also colored, by the advice of counsel, suddenly changed his plea of not guilty. Tuesday, and subsequently, the court to fix the degree of the crime. Judge Carr promptly held it to be second degree and sentenced Blackburn to fifteen years in the Eastern penitentiary. He was sentenced to the same fact that the testimony against Blackburn was getting stronger with every witness called by the commonwealth, while on the other hand the testimony of the few witnesses for the defense did not seem to be of a greater importance than the fact that the white woman, Maud Pillon, was the direct cause of the tragedy, and might have proved very detrimental to the Negro, no doubt prompted by the fact that he would draw his plea and throw himself on the mercy of the court. LELAND GIANTS BEAT CUBANS IN DECIDING GAME. Windy City Boys Bumped the Sphere Hard and Beat Islanders by a Score of 7 to 4. Special to THE FREEMAN CHICAGO, IL—Lelands won the deciding game of their series with the Cuban Stars yesterday by the score of 7 to 4. The Stars both teams and the Cubans looked to have it stowed away in the second inning when doubles to Sanches and Villa, with a single, Magrinat sandwiched in, netted two ties. The Lelands tied the score by lone tales in the third and fourth innings on the same pitch, and the Stars singles, and in the fifth inning put across three runs on the same number of hits. Pete Hill's three bagger putting across three hits added in the eighth on hits and an error by Magrinat. The only error by the Lelands was made by Wright on a bad pitch, and the Stars score after he had hit a three-sack safety. Pete Hill and Mason, the temporary outfielder of the Giants, hit freely for most of the team's runs. **Score:** R. H. E. L. Giants, .0 1 0 0 0 * 7* -1 2 1 C. Stars, .0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 4 M.

"A boy who can't throw has no business to play shortstop," said Captain Doolan, of the Phillies, the other day in a fan-fair game, one place where your arm must be good and where you can't make out unless it is. "The second-baseman can get along with one for the biggest proportion of his throws are short and he has plenty of time. "But the shortship is getting balls on both sides of him and he must be able to move forward in order to hard in order to nail his man at first-base. "Three of his throws require special skills. "If he is fielding a ball to the right of him, one that takes him out on the grass, he must fairly shoot the ball. If he is going over second for a hard grounder he must be able to recover himself and switches around to throw, to first-base, and when he is running fast, slow bounder he must work putting fast or the runner will beat out the ball. THROW VERY IMPORTANT. "Owing to the importance of quick work I should say that the throw comes pretty near to being the first requisite for the job. "The good thrower will be able to shoot the ball from any position in which he is playing." "When you have to straighten up every time and throw overhanded on every play you lose a lot of valuable time. The quick underhand snap throw saves many a valuable moment. The poor ball player, a runner who otherwise would be safe. "Study the batters and find out where to play for each man. It is a mark of a poor shortstop—or for a poor ball player, see him always standing in one spot. Certain batters have a tendency to hit in certain directions, and by playing for them and knowing what kind of a ball your pitcher is going to feed them, you can offer in just the right position to make a play. "As a general rule, it is a good idea for the shortstop to move over toward third-base when a left-handed hitter is at the bat, for most left-handed hitters have a left-handed position over the third-base line or of cutting a fast grounder between third and short. "For the right-hander, it is a good play to go back to the regular position, for if he lands on the ball, he is more likely to hit away on the ground over second than to whip it close to third. NAPOLEON. The Bird That Tells. An' if you want to see anything stan'er you can go to the office or miss Sunday. I wuz perched upon that lunch wagon there th' other night an' the lunch wagon there, alowin conversation between two fellers. "What makes that woman's hair puff out so," said one. "Why, that's what they call a rat." "A who?" "A rat." "A rat," the second man to himself. (Silence for several seconds.) "You said a rat, didn't you" he repeated. (Silence again.) (Silence again): "it," he replied softly, thinking that his friend would explain the meaning "rat" and he said: "hat, hat looks like it would be rough-on-rust." But have you counted your fingers yet? Fourth is over. Got a cracker Monday saltier. MERIDIAN, MISS. Willie Smith, a well-known young man of good report, son of Allan Smith of Mobile, Ala., and nephew of J. W.
