TEACHERS AND PUPILS:---YOU GAN MAKE MONEY DURING YOUR SUMMER VACATION REPRESENTING THE FREEMAN. AGENTS WANTED. WRITE FOR TER PRESIDENT TAFT DOES NOT DRAW COLOR LINE BISHOP LAMPTON DID NOT APOLOGIZE To Citizens of Greenville—Newspaper Men May Hold Conference at Louisville—The School Fight Over—General News. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21.—President William Howard Taft is a sincere friend of the colored people, of this country. He is not loud in protestation of his color, nor does he withhold the award when the opportunity comes to recognize merit, he confers his blessings in a generous and open-handed manner. He seldom favors an individual because of his color, nor does he withhold the award when the opportunity comes to recognize merit, he circumstances permit him to act in accord with his own feelings. The accompanying executive order, touching the affairs of James M. Alexander, of Alexander, Cal., is typical of the idea your correspondent desires to impress. The President's statement is self-explanatory: EXECUTIVE ORDER. James M. Alexander, of Los Angeles, a colored man, may be appointed as Cashier under the Collector for the Sixth Internal Revenue District of California, without respect to civil service regulations. This order is made because of the intention of President Roosevelt to make it at the time the district was created, but he was unable to carry out his intention because there was not sufficient money available until the beginning of the new fiscal year to organize the office. The ground upon which President Roosevelt intended to make the order was that Mr. Alexander was a colored man, that the colored population of California had not been properly recognized, and that the Collector of the new district was greatly desirous of having a man appointed in whose fidelity and capacity for the discharge of the particular position he had great confidence by reason of a personal acquaintance. The White House. June 28. 1909. In last week's issue of a number of our papers there appeared a letter purporting to have been written by Bishop Lampton, which he is represented as a member of the diocesan Church. The letter is a驳斥 the apology to the person of theville for the episode alleged to have led to his departure from his home at the request of certain indignant citizens of the place. A close friend of the Bishop, who has been a member of the diocesan Church, is a "apology" was a "fake," pure and simple—that the Bishop never penned the letter accredited to him. Our informant declares that the letter was mailed from a diocese of the city of the city of the city of the city of about at the time it was alleged to have been written. As the Bishop did not reach his district until July 9, the witness avers that it was impossible for him to give evidence of the circulation to a conscientious person, and that the letter was distant on the 10th, as neither telephone nor telegraph was resorted to by the Bishop or by the parties alleged to have replied to his so-called letter. The letter was distant on the 10th, as neither telephone nor telegraph was resorted to by the Bishop or by the parties alleged to have replied to his so-called letter. The letter was distant on the 10th, as neither telephone nor telegraph was resorted to by the Bishop or by the parties alleged to have replied to his so-called letter. In a letter from the diocesan church, Miss. the home of one J. K. Vardaman, and there is a suspicion on the part of those who are being called for the information of the whole controversy and putative apology were "cooked up" by the minions of the Negro-hating ex-Governor for the purpose of the meeting. The growing ambition of the more intelligent and the more intelligent of the people has been to frighten the ignorant element into subjection, as well as to kindle anew the anti-Negro sentiment of the power whites against colored men who have been called for the information of the power whites. The power whites are taken on top of his return to his home and has been given a cordial greeting by the representative people of the Greenville, regardless of the fact that the municipal authorities have currently testified to his worth as a man and citizen. ```markdown ``` To illustrate how well Bishop Lampton stands with the thinking people of his home community, the following editorial commendation of former Governor Vardaman is given with the amicable and peaceful manner in which the Lampton episode has been adjusted, is given to the public. It is from the times of July 10. The editorial is as follows: "Governor Vardaman's recent editorial on the Lampton affair is an affront to the people of Greenville. It is not disposed at this time to question the actual authority to belch his bile over the general public, using as an emetic the false issue of "The impending Crisis," but we do protest and interference with the affairs of Greenville. "The Lampton affair had no business in the columns of the public press—it was a sake to have given it any such publicity, to make it more credible—settled by the people of Greenwich, settled by thener satisfactory to those most concerned! in all with respect to G. Vardaman, in all with respect to V. Gardman, in all with respect to creditable to the sense of justice, intelligent to the sense of the people of this community; therefore, in an act of unpardonable impertinence for to enter his dissent from the wisdom of our citizenry, in an absence, not to say criminal utterances, to lash the passions of some into a fury. Now that Bishop Lampton is at home again, secure in his possessions and with standing among his fellow-citizens unshakeable, the meanness of falsifiers and detractors, the incident may be regarded as closed. As the Bishop Lampton's confidence in the hospitality of his career of the Southland, he urged at Wilberforce the next session of the Bishop Council, and so eloquent and convincing was his that the Bishops of the great A. M. E. will meet in Bishop Lampton's State in New York, having its faults, no one will deny, but fair play demands that its good side be given a hearing as well as its dismal one. Letters are being received daily endorsing the plan to hold a conference of the newspaper men who will be in attendance upon the Louisville session of the Negro Business League. Among those likely to participate is Mr. N. B. Dodson, editor of the excellent news service that is being furnished to the Afro-American press of the University of Michigan, and the sagacity of the American Press Association. A more definite statement of the aims of the confab of journalists will be given at an earl date. That it will be a success is a foregone conclusion. Mrs. Bessie Shippen, of this city, who was the secretary of the late John H. Smythe as principal of the Broadneck Farm School, is doing a splendid work and winning encomium at the hands of the people of that section of the city. Mrs. Shippen is a woman of liberal culture and is an ardent devotee of the industrial system, correlated with sufficient academic training to make it an active agent of production. The so-called "school fight" is practically at an end. The charges lodged against Mrs. Shippen are extended. Bruce were brought up at the meeting Board of Education last Thursday, but were dismissed without serious discussion, as the examination of the allegations by the Board of Education was a fact that there was nothing in them. Prof. Bruce was thus given a vote of confidence by the united Board and will go to Washington the best schools under the direction of the race in America. Prof. Bruce, writing to your correspondent on the subject, said: "It is my ambition and will continue to be my earnest endeavor to bring the schools under my supervision up to the point where they will be as efficient as possible, without fear and without favor, acting always for the public interest." The new principal of M Street High School is Prof. E. C. Williams, for a number of years librarian and instructor in Adelbert College of the Western Reserve University, near Cleveland, Ohio. He succeeds Mr. W. T. S. Jackson, who becomes a teacher of mathematics in M Street High School. Prof. Williams is a graduate of Adelbert College, class of 1892, and stood first in scholarship. He is highly endorsed by Prof. Charles F. Thwing, president of the Western Reserve University, who speaks in the highest praise of his abilities as an instructor in bibliography, and says he regards him as the best reference librarian in Cleveland. As a teacher, Prof. Thwing says he is "apt, forcible, impressive, successful," adding that "in any place which he is willing to accept, Mr. Williams will give a good account of himself." Mr. John C. Nalle remains as supervising principal of the Twelfth Division, and a number of transfers are made for the improvement of the school administration. New appointees are James F. Chestnut as teacher of the fifth grade at the John F. Slater School, and Edward H. Lawson teacher of the fifth grade at the Henry Smithers School. Thirteen candidates qualified for appointment to the consular service as a result of examinations held at the State Department, where some were appointed as consuls and one for consular assistants. One of the candidates was colored—Richard C. Bundy, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who made seventh place in the examination. There is now an eligible list for appointments to the postoffice for which these persons have qualified, the changes and increase in their eligibility. The Representative likelihood that all of the present batch will receive an assignment in the course of time. Mr. Bundy will be remembered as the young man who was the first representative of the Naval Academy at Annapolis. It is understood that Mr. Bundy passed the preliminary examination for the consular service. He was a colored man, storm was precipitated and he did not enter the school. He disappeared from public view, and little was heard from him until the announcement went forth for examination for a consulship. There are several places in South America, France, Turkey, exile, India, etc., where vacancies are said to exist, and where he would be cordially received. Major John R. Lynch, paymaster in the United States Army, who rendered such signal service in the Spanish-American War as a volunteer and was later retained under the regular establishment in the United States, the picture of health. He has been ordered before the retiring board, but as he is not averse to remaining on the active list, it is possible he may show to the examiners such a robust physical condition until he can finally retire with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. Major Lynch was one of the most widely known political factors the race has known to be in the United States in the situation in Mississippi. He served as Fourth Auditor of the Treasury under the Harrison administration, has been Speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives and beat Gen. Chalmers for Congress in the "shoestring District" of his State. --- By order of the War Department, the entire Tenth Cavalry will shortly take up its station at Fort Ethan Allen, near Burlington, N.J., the headquarters of the Eleventh and Fifteenth Cavalry, ordered to other stations.

DAYTON, Ohio (Special).—The Grand Lodge committee, looking after the entertainment of the M. W. Grand Lodge of F. and A. M., of the jurisdiction of Ohio, is making special inroads. The Grand Lodge will be held at the Enterprise Hall. Mr. Jno. Miller is one of the best violinists in Ohio. Watch to see and hear him at Eaker Street Church soon. Mr. Berry, Mrs. Bettle Oldham's father, passed away last Monday morning, eH was one of the oldest residents of Dayton. The Colored Woman's League, under the presidency of Mrs. (Rev) J. B. Anderson, is doing a great work. It is located on Fitch street. You should call on them. Mrs. J. G. Robinson, the writer's wife, has been confined to her bed in the Miami Valley Hospital for three weeks where she underwent a delicate but painful operation. She is home again. Mrs. Jno. H. Transue, who for more than six months has been very ill and undergoing operations on the critical operations known to surgery, has the best wishes of The Freeman staff. We hope she will soon recover. Dayton will be the center of Grand Lodge entertainments this year. The Masonic Grand Lodge, The Daughters of the Daughters of Tabernacle and the Daughters of Tabernacle will assemble in grand lodge sessions in our midst in the months of August and September. The W. C. A. campaign was not what it might have been. But such workers as Mrs. L. L. Lee, Miss Viola Weir, Mrs. W. W. Willis, Mrs. Dannon, Mr. D. E. Bush and a few others deserve great praise for the work they did. The rally has been continued until the 1st of October. Mrs. Agnes Howell sister of Mrs. H. T. Elliott, died peacefully at the residence of Mrs. Elliott on the 6th inst. She was a lovable character. The four brothers acted as pall bearers. The funeral was one of the most pathetic we have ever witnessed. The family has our sympathy. A local Colored Business League has been organized in Dayton. The following officers were elected: E. T. Sherman, president; O. Upsawe, vice president; Thornton secretary; Geo. B. Baylor treasurer, and Wm. A. Bell, auditor. The league has enrolled 40 members, adopted the constitution provided b y the national organization and elected a strong delegation of women to the charity work. They, however, mix social pleasures with their work. The members are Mrs. Jennie Raglan, president; Mrs. Mary J. Lacas, vice president; Mrs. Annie McGee, vice president; Mrs. Donna treasurer; Mrs. F. Ward, Mrs. Ora Creed, Mrs. Lula Young, Mrs. Dela Young, Miss Bertha Binkston, Mrs. Emma White, Mrs. Lizzie McGee, Mrs. Chas Brent, Mrs. Ela Woodson, Mrs Lula Williams, and Mrs. Ellott. The political pot is beginning to boil. Hon. Ezra Kuhn's is the first Republican to announce his candidacy for mayor of Dayton. In Mr. Kuhn's the city will find a candidate to be the mayor. The colored people will find in him a true friend—a man who will give a "square Deal." Now is the time for the cooled man to rally. Mayor Burkhart has been disappointed by the incumbent. The man has sadly failed to get his nose at the public trough under his administration. eW hope the Negroes will roll up their sleeves and help to nominate and elect Mr. Kuhn. The Wesleyan Church will soon begin to show that the new house is an assured fact. Bethel Baptist will break ground in August for foundation. Euclid avenue will be opened to the Baptist, as all know, is a kind of beauty. It is left for McKinley M. E. and Eaker Street A. M. E. to demonstrate that the public will not stand for carelessness on the streets. The old Baptist, as all know, is a kind of beauty. It is left for McKinley M. E. and Eaker Street Church will make a start this fall. Those who have blocked all movements towards a new church for twenty-five years have been displaced by a new and pro-immigrant community, a new old Eaker Street Church is as worthy as any congregation in Ohio. Watch them work after conference. The McKinley Club, composed of a number of Xenial's and Dayton's first ladies, recently enjoyed an outing at Dehoney Park. They wish the following expression express their admiration: "We, the Xenial and Dayton members of the McKinley Club, desire to express our appreciation to you for your kind and courteous treatment of us and the many favors shown us at your beauty and joy." The ladies of the joyous day we spent in Dehoney Park, and we will ever speak in the highest of praise concerning Dehoney Park and its owner to our many friends and friends of our family, compose the McKinley Club, viz.: (Xenia) Miss Hattie Spencer, president; Mrs. Mary Wynne, treasurer; Mrs. Ella Ewing, secretary; Mrs. Ophelia Rodgers, Mrs. Helen Rodgers, Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Daisy Cannon, Dayton) Mrs. Millie Robinson, Mrs. Florence Ward and Mrs. Burnsides. "No. 2." (?) Passing down 5th street, halting at the corner of 5th and Horace, you will see a little signboard hung out. On it you read, "W. C. A. No. 2." I have a signboard hung out, "No. 2." comes in "at." O, yes I do. There are some of our women in different parts of the world who dislike the word Negro. Or some of our Trojan War-era anything that shows that they are Negroes, and instead of putting out the sign Colored Woman's Christian Association, or some of our women in the organization to make believe that they are federated with white Woman's Christian Association. Of course this does not appeal to me. Of course it was left to the vote of the organization that some designation would be given to show that they are not "aping." Yes, two-thirds of the members are opposed to Negroes. However, a few (w) members who truckle and have a few whining whites to come up and address them as "you people" etc., would have. However, a called Negroes, nuttles not "N. 2" on a signboard, "Gee, I skewed!" Special to The FREEMAN.

SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1909. Lots of humidity this week. The mighty hunter is still making good. He always does; he always does. All quiet on the Potomac, politically speaking. Some slight skirmishes noted, but nothing heavy as yet. On the road to Louisville. Don't forget that the Negro business men assemble in the Falls City on the 18th of next month. The Frank R. Adams case is one of who's who. He evidently thinks there is enough talk going on without his butting in. In nothing very vivid doing in higher political circles. Really, there isn't much reason for an up-and-up demand for place. Dancey and Vernon were about as active as any one else. There was no neck-breaking speed notable anywhere. It is very evident that Roscoe Conkling Bruce must fight if he wishes to maintain his job as assistant superintendent of the public schools of Washington, D. C. They are after him thick and fast. It is thought that he will be sustained by the school board. Because he is who he is a part of the reason for the fight against him. Mr. Bruce has had too plain sailing for some folks. The colored people of this vicinity could engage in many more profitable enterprises. The local Business Men's League has been talking along this line. Some well-timed advice has been given. As long as the race is compelled to recognize race lines it ought to make the best of it. Money is the "open sesame." Business brings in money and at the same time employs the race as it hopes to be employed. Booker T. Washington, as chairman of the executive board of the Jeanes Fund, recently reported $18,280 spent since last December, 68 places and 82 teachers were aided, in many instances the school term being lengthened, and in others the number of teachers increased. He strongly recommended more and better supervision for the rural schools, and expressed the belief that this supervision ought to be largely intrusted to Negro educators. A BISHOP'S WARNING WORDS Legislation which is unfair, which can not be forced, or which is sure to produce reaction, or which is not strange that people who have suffered another way from the abuse of strong men have seen its ill effects, should feel strongly that it should do that which promises restriction of abuse in influence legislation. Temperance, like religion, has a great deal to fear from Bishop Ecclidian S. Lines, Protestant Episcopal Church, Diocese of Newark, N. J. BISHOP SAYS PROHIBITION IS A QUESTION OF POLITICS. "This is NOT A QUESTION OF TEMPERANCE, for temperance means moderation. It is a question of politics and economies. "There are good men on both sides. All good men desire and are ready to work for an increase of temperance and an increase of all other virtues, like chastity and honesty and honesty among men. Some good men are not under the operation of a law passed by the lature, absolutely prohibiting the manufacture and sale of spirituous liquors in there, there will be more virtue and less vice, more honesty and less dishonesty, more truthfulness and less good, more soberness and less drunkenness, more righteousness and less sin, in Memphis, example than if the manufacture and sale such liquors were regulated and restricted. "On the other hand, good men honestly believe that such a state-wide law will not increase honesty, truthfulness, soberness and righteousness in Memphis, but WILL INCREASE LAWFESNESS AND LYING. Personally, I am profoundly and earnestly informed that the LATTER STATEMENT IS A MEMBER OF RESULTING CONDITIONS OF THOMAS F. Gailor, Episcopal Bishop of Memphis. TAXPAYERS AND COLORED VOT ERS. On the first day of February, 1909, a young man, William E. Kroll,戴红 announcement himself as a candidate for the Democratic ticket. He was a Democrat's ticket. A few weeks after this announcement the Indianapolis press fell over themselves in an effort to extort $25 from Mr. Kroll that they could then announce themselves. Mr. Kroll declined this magnanimous offer, ground of an honest man seeking the office of Mayor. Since that time the press has not forgotten or their memory has failed so that Mr. Kroll knew that Mr. Clarke and Mr. Gauss are the two candidates, and the itching palm of graft is still itching, while Mr. Kroll has not engaged in this campaign. Now, why is this? He causes press, the political bosses and graft. IN THE STRETCH. Arthur A. Marcy Hot Favorite For the City Clerkship Nomination. The closing weeks of the campaign is hot and furious. The individual candidates are taxed to their capacities' ends and are often strengthened and fortify the forts they have already built. Arthur A. Macy, the Democratic candidate for the city clerkship, is attracting the most attention among the candidates. Mr. Marcy ducting his campaign have been above reproach for honesty and integrity of principle. He is open and frank. His record has instilled in the community he attracts that Mr. Marcy is a huge client of the conservative and thinking elements. They area unit in their praises of the young man. The position of city clerk is one of the most important areas is sure to come in contact with at some time or another and should, therefore, be most considered by the voters. The Collector described against in the affairs common to this office. Mr. Marcy promises fair dealing to all alike and says he will insist on the truth. He will even break in all matters that may come through the duties of the city clerk. POPULAR BECAUSE OF HIS HONESTY. The candidacy of Mr. J. W. Bandy, candidate for councilman for the first district, is at present the boon of the district. Bandy is the logical candidate, comes to the councilmen of the Kingan's Packing Co. Mr. Bandy stands for the common people. He is a small property owner himself, and he is a man of the people of his election, that all property owners are looked after alike. This view is making him many friends among the colored voters. Mr. Bandy are small owners of real estate. Mr. Bandy are small owners of considerable real estate which represents his personal labor at a salary. This makes him feel particularly close to the people of his constituency, and by dint of his brawn and muscle, the knows what it is to stand for unnecessary improvement assessments. This is causing the little fellows to sit up and take their seats. The election is assured if the colored voters are to be considered in the primary. Frank P. Stanley, the reliable Democratic candidate for Councilman in the First District, is forging to the front. He has been a strong advocate for the contractor. He has many friends among the colored people, who respect him for his honesty and uprightness.' They feel that in Mr. Stanley the district will be filled with people who are principle and principle who cannot be bought or forced to become a party to any clique or faction. He stands unalterably for the interests of the people. Mr. Stanley is indoors, some of the leading citizens of Indianapolis. The fight made by Gus G. Schmidt, candidate for Councilman of the Third District, is for the removal of those who were attempting to remove Archie Greathman and other colored business men from doing business in Indiana avenue, has won for Mr. Schmidt the lasting impression. Mr. Schmidt is a popular people. Mr. Schmidt was uniting in his efforts. He met every onslaught of the Shiel forces with fortitude and unwerving determination and was finally successively defeated in all of the cases against the colored business men enjoined by Shiel. Every colored voter in the city will line up to vote in the primary. He is asking the support of his friends solely on his merits as a man. ENTERS COUNCIL RACE FROM SECOND DISTRICT. George W. Koehne is a candidate for nomination for councilman from the Securities Department. His friends have been for some days circulating a petition to be met with the primary election commissioners, and more than 100 have been submitted. Republicans already have subscribed. Mr. Koehne has been active in the Republican campaign, traveling salesman and has a wide circle M. of acquaintances. He is a brother of Armin Koehne, former treasurer of Maack County and member of the state Senate. He says that if he is nominated and elected to the Council it will be his constant work for the best interests of the city at the time. FINISHING STRONG. Wm. E. Hindel, the popular Republican candidate for councilman in the Third District, is making a strong finish in the closing days of the primary campaign. He has made a stronger impression among the colored vote of the city than has Mr. Hindel. He has studied the conditions of his District carefully, familiarizing himself with the desire of his colored constituents. His efforts have caused the of the common people has caused the THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER on that small property owners to sit up and take notice. They are a unit for Mr. Hinde, and feel that he will prove a Moses for a time. This�i Diga, will come to the third. District has one of the largest colored citizens.

Black is home from Knott It is with pleasure that we again mention the name of J. H. Sullivan, the popular candidate for the City Clerkship in the City of New York, August 6. Mr. Sullivan is storekeeper for the Street Railway Company, and is respected by all who know him. He keeps his office clean and notwithstanding that his views along these lines have often caused him embarrassments among his white employees. Mr. Sullivan is also known to apolls a clean, honest administration in the event of his election. He insures to the colored people a square deal in all his office. Mr. Sullivan wears no master's collar and will serve the people impartially. COUNCILMAN FROM SIXTH DISTRICT. Indianapolis, Ind., July 14, 1909.

For further reference as to my qualification for this office, I can only ask that you consult my neighbors and friends.

I feel that you are interested in good government, and especially in a councilman who will interest himself in the needs of the people of my district and of the city in general. I will be greatly appreciated. Yours very respectfully. Candidate For Judge of the Police Court. THE FREEMAN presents to its many local readers a likeness of Hon.

Progress with him to his high success has been made, considered that Mr. Bings possess prerequisites of doing business to business principles it is not to dared at that he does succeed. His bank is fully equipped, a handsome as any on the South Douglass Center was the scene of much intellectual brilliance last Friday evening the occasion being the anniversary reception of the college's cacao diversity. Several of the distinguished teachers were present to enjoy the festivity. Mrs. Wooley came in from home some hours earlier in a special dinner and visited a visitor was Miss Peltzen, the great woman preacher of England. Her address was interesting, eloquent and helpful.

Jasper, Jackson camp at Springfield, Ill., for twelve days. The outing is one the regiment enjoys immensely, and all are ready at the tap of the door. Eighth is the only regiment of military forces operated entirely by the Negro, from Colonel down to private. The Elks' picnic at Peterson's Grove last Wednesday was a success from every point of view. Good order prevailed, everyone brought back various reports. The K. of P. with the Uniform Rank will have their grand annual outing at Fox Bridge, the bright black brass band will discourse sweet music and that's "enough said." This organization usually carries great crowds and shows good shade of the city every year, and many always of Chicago's most cultivated and refined avail themselves of this outing. Politics is at a low ebb in the black belt and along Quality Row. Politics usually means to the Negro a job when it comes to politics, and perous era consequent of good laws and a better market. Jobs are not showing themselves in any conspicuous degree. Chicago is getting its annual quota of strangers this summer. Many of them come from the South and become infatuated with the city's life. The result of it is a remarkable showing in the business district along the stroll. Hundreds of little business enterprises are springing up, so that the race is slowly moving in and out of the stores and spaces between buildings. They are going into every kind and style of business, of course legitimate, in the mad chase after that almighty dollar. Much of the unrest and impatience on the part of white people springs from the very noticeable progress the Negro is making in the business world. Prophets who said that the Negro would die out, are themselves all dead, while the Negro is demonstrating the fundamental rules of multiplication and forging along with the Negro in the business competitor down the future years. The white man of the present knows that he is up against a losing proposition as it conceals his bad lucks, but some malicious people, conscience, makes him tolerate what he is mostly opposed to. When you pick up your morning paper and read the blood-curdling stories of murder, theft and all of the unholy crimes unit for decent imagination, take a look at the worst element of our civilization. There may not be an angel race, but if there is any such thing as a devil race, it may not be the Negro race. Mr. Jesse Blings is hard at it, and scoring often.

Progress with him to his high point of success has been rapid, but when he is considered that Mr. Bings possesses the prerequisites of doing business according to business principles it is not to be wondered at that he does succeed. His bank is fully equipped, and is as handsome as any on the South Side, and operated entirely by people of his own race. He is a credit to the race from the business point of view, and does not fail to encourage men and women of the Negro race whenever they show that they know how to bookkeepers, stenographers and accountants. He hires nothing else but colored janitors in his numerous large buildings. The local Negro Business League met at Douglass Center Monday night and elected officers for the year 1909 to 1910. Dr. Geo. C. Hall, the eminent surgeon, was elected president. This will give the organization in Chicago the impetus and stimulation that it has long needed. The business Negroes of this year will rally by hundreds around this great big citizens and make the League an institution such as will reflect credit on the whole race. Heretofore incompetent hands have stingled the life out of so promising a civic force among the men for by that lack of needed individual initiative have allowed it to all but die. Today everybody is job-billiant. The Chicago Negro in the business world will loom up in all his glories and let us hope astound the rest of the country in the far fetched and manifold things he is doing in the business world. Dr. Geo. C. Hall is eminently fit to fill such positions and by his personality will lift the organization up from diminutive proportions to colossal size, and he will be the president.

We are very much so as I was notes from "Dixieland, a great change has taken up, both in the management and programme. Things having come to a sudden collapse financially, to include the stockholder got together and re-moved our former manager, C. W. Rex, and placed at our head as manager a man who needs no introduction, for he certainly has a great change in the business of the�-year. It is the most successful years of experience in the show, whose word is as good as gold. This man was a great leader of the W. W. Mr. Marshall, realizing that not only were the stockholders being buncoed but the performers also, changed things altogether, and we can reluctantly say that the most effective and most effective confidence for him already placed implicit confidence in their new manager, and are working hard at every performance to maintain the good and good management on the Pay Streak. We all regret that Mr. Marshall was not our manager in the start. Lily Stevens, who is singing "Mandy Lane," Anna Bell, Mooney, who is writing Down Towns, is a prophylactic and "down-town" are receiving the heartiest applause of any on the bill this week. Jesse Banks and Matt Turner, our comedians, are still unflavating an evidence that is a driving car. A change of programme will take place weekly commencing on Sunday. Where there was a little uneasiness before the change management, the new one is the same and he has a little issue all around. The entire company is proud of the changes. In my last notes I spoke of Mr. Marshall as a speller, which was the most effective and most effective and most of the most unquestionably upon my part, as he is the superior of any man, barring none, as a talker or an orator, and should receive the highest approval for his broad-range performance. One who made business increase already ninety per cent. Hurrah for Leon W. Marshall! The Dixieland Quartette, composed of Messrs. Horace George, Wm. Curtis, Joe Galloway and Walter Smith, will be one of the most important artists in the Stockholders of "Dixieland," under the supervision and management of Mr. Galloway, who will be under canvas, our company to be known as Marshall's Old Time Plantation Minis, at the close of our present engagement. DEHOMEY IN UPROAR. There never was so much excitement in the history of the dear old stroll; every day something else. Town full of strangers and more to come. The first blow was the arrival of the director of the Pekin Theater, and Marion A. Brooks, formerly of the Grand. They have leased the Royal and changed its name to the Chester. After all kinds of events, the day night, July 17. The new concern has a new system, and if carried out, will give the Negro showman the only protection that he has ever had in the West, and the house will be used as a trout house and acts will be remedied, if necessary, before they are sent out. They will also have the colored end of all the club work, and the season will be taken for the season. Acts will be classed and priced according to their ability. By this it will stop that general knock against colored acts. Heretofore Chicago had the greatest aid in this country for snake but fake snakes. The field will be worked again on modern plans. All such orders will have to come direct to the Chester. The management will rehearse and dress for the season, and guarantee a first-class show from a manager to a property man. Messrs. Green and Brooks know every reputable act in the city that they will lend their aid. John may call on them, and that has ever been made in the West and they may call on him at any time for any assistance that he may be able to give. Perrin & Crosby have at last become tired of Chicago, and will play two weeks of the Morris time out of town. Blondy Robinson, who has been working alone since he parted with Billy McCarver, will team with his wife soon. Blondy says troupling alone is too lonely. Marsh Craig, the contortionist, has tucked himself into his Association. Reason given is that he can not fake his act or cut it. He won't work unless he can give justice. The news has reached Chicago that Miss Lottie Grady, the popular little actress, has been signed up with Bert A. Williams' new show. The good news spread like wildfire, and everybody says that Miss Grady will make a name for herself. Joe Jordan, the Chicago writer, has been offered a big salary to remain here, but Joe wants to go to New York, as the larger and the compensation stronger. Joe has been a success both financially and as a producer. Two big rehearsals began here Monday, July 19, the Georgia Minstrels, under Bly K. Cage and Miller & Lyles, under Irving C. Mack, and termed as the youngest show ever produced. Nobody in the cast will be over 25 years old. Book and lyrics by the music by Sydney Perrin and Harrison Stewart. They are booked to open in "The Land of Cotton and Corn" in September. The local lodge of Elks will show the good people of Detroit how the Chicago people do things when they make up their mind. Bart Shoecraft, chairman of the city's "a good time", arranged with railroads companies for two trains. The first special will carry the officers and "Lady Elks" and a vaudeville show made up of Elks that are in the profession and a band of sixteen pieces. The second section will carry members of the two classes in Lodge and friends. Both sections will arrive in Detroit about the same time. Oh, my! The writer of this column wishes to make an open apology to Milton & Wise and beg of them a thousand pardons for their information appearing in this column regarding their business. The writer has then been to read the articles for themselves before raging over what has been told to them. The writer has never attempted to knock any act, and doesn't use these columns to advertise himself or any act. Not only can the commenter performer should take exception to anything they should see in the papers about themselves, good or bad, as the wrong stories find their way into the best regulated papers. The colored acts in the West have commenced to wake up in regard to the way you dress, and to less you are "Mr. Headliner" none of the many houses will pay any attention to them when they come in to get new stuff, or creating stumps to send to them for music. In one exception, however, Will Rossiter. At his house every man is treated alike, reckoning that there are a number of publishers who are formers to use their music, but don't care to have them call around for it, especially the nhey have a cheap hit. This memoir is one of the colored performer will always be classed as a lot of cheap hams as they allow the snide booster for Eastern Europe, but they wish to and then use their stuff. DEATH OF MRS.

West Baden Loses Three Games of a Four-Game Series. Special to THE FREEMAN WEST BADEN, Ind.-French Lick and West Baden ended a series of games last Monday. French Lick took three, while Baden barely got away with one, "Wild Lick," French Lick's pitcher took the first game by score of 3 to 1. The game was taken by a score of 4 to 3 by Sloan, French Lick's southpaw, who is soon to sign with the Cuban Stars. He not only showed that he was a pitcher, but also showed that he was a stick, by putting the ball over the fence in the fourth. The third game was more interesting than all, as it lasted eleven innings. Miller, one of French Lick's catchers, chipped the ball to 6 to 5. Sanford, formerly of the Louisville Glants, pitched the fourth for Baden and won by the score of 7 to 5. "Slim," also of the Louisville Glants, is with no proper pitching fine ball. He has made better with the ball than the of the Louisville players. He has played outfield, infield and pitched, and is yet without an error. "Cola," one of Louisville's old favorites, is also catching a new star. The team's defense is anxious to get just one more of Louisville's players, whom he says is one of the best fielders in the Southwest, Jessie Bentley, with Burnett that there is none better. LADIES.

Football harp, pig-leg pants, red hatband and windsor tie. 2. A cigar given your name. 3. Requests for your autograph and an invitation to address a graduating class. 4. Loving letters after you. 5. Telling of the wonderful exploits of the "first-born." 6. A calendar made from your aphorisms. 7. "Complete Works," with notes and an appendix. The Boston Guardian refuses to be comforted. President Taft is said to be preparing a surprise for somebody. The Liberian Commission is at home again. Now for the facts. We do the loyal ones wrong when we fall to place a premium upon loyalty. Professional gossipers are seldom as good as the people they gossip about. There is dignity in any kind of useful employment. To be idle is disgraceful. Wanted—A successor to the late Ernst Hogan, the original "unbleached American." Louisville and Dayton (O.), taking their cue from Washington, also have "Black Cabinets." He who is ready to judge by irresponsible hearsay is certain to be wrong in nine cases out of ten. The anti-tuberculosis fight goes grandly on, and the Negro physician is doing his part in the great work. Suicide is a confession of inability to cope with life's knotty problems. Fight it out, comrade, fight it out! Cleaning up a soiled reputation is always a difficult, but not impossible, task. "Tis never too late to mend." Messrs. T. Thomas Fortune and John Edward Bruce seem to be getting back into the journalistic harness. A permanent and paying job is awaiting the man who can do so some thing better than anyone else can do it. "Mississippi Day" will be one of the "big events" of the Louisville meeting of the National Negro Business League. You can hurt an enemy more by ignoring him by giving him the free advertising that opposition would yield. Political preferment is as much a matter of local availability as it is of personal merit. Don't overlook this potent fact. True friends are so scarce that we can afford to "dope" it out pretty strong to those that are faithful in storm and in calm. Rascally ministers should not be upheld by our Bishops, merely because they manage to raise the biggest pots of "dollar money." The wise Negro is anxious that the poor whites of the South be educated and broadened, for if they are not helped upward they will drag the ambitious Negro down. Sheriffs will see to it that a quietus is placed on the lynching habit when they know that their job is dependent upon the safekeeping of their prisoners, regardless of color. The progressive Negroes of the South, seeing their golden opportunities in business agriculture, religious and education, "casting down their buckets where they are." They say Boston is bidding heavily for the life meeting of the National Negro Business League. Next year will be the tenth anniversary of Booker T. Washington's helpful organization. Nhle Negro is doing his share in pushing him to be found rewilling the Wright brothers in flying the aeroplane. You can't lose the colored brother. Commissioner Emmett J. Scott has lived up to all reasonable expectations. Both the United States and Liberia have abun- dant allies, and they have been can- capably served by President Taft's first Negro appointee. It is a good general policy not to ask for a post already filled by a Negro. Better results can be obtained by ferring out places from which white men are to be transferred, or in "getting wise" to a fat birth that is to be created. Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback is often mistaken for Andrew Carnegie in New York City and Washington, and Charles Stewart, the globe-trotting news- tie, is frequently spoken to throughout Virginia and the South for D. Webster Davis. The intermittent Washington correspondents continue to "thin out." The average run of them have an axe to grind, and they invariably drop out of the game when they have accomplished their pur- pose. Only the veterans who remain on the job "wield permanent influence." After taking a careful inventory of his colored citizen material—the Jap, the Chinese, the Indian, the Filipino and the Negro—"Vince Sam" is reaching the conclusion that the best returns for the labor that must be exerted in the developing process. The black man is nearest the white man in imbibing the genius of American civilization. * **Newspaper man** * **and time to engage in religious work.** N. B. Dobson, who ducts the most successful miscellaneous service ever gotten up for the colored press, served last week as president of the New England Baptist Sunday School condition in Boston, delivering an excellent address and carrying on the proceedings with the dignity and dispatch of a "Joe" Cannon. It is remarkable how one thing automatically helps another. The Booker T. Washington tour of the Virginian Railroad, besides contributing to the educational awakening of the Negro and bringing the blacks and whites into a closer relationship, also provides an important for the new transportation line through one of the nation's richest sections. Senator Albert J. Beveridge's earnest and uncompromising stand for the plain people and fidelity to the party's pledges and values and the importance of presidential possibilities. The Republican administration is committed to tariff revision downward and President Taft will see. Congress gives the country what it expects, and it expects the act of the wrong kind of a bill. Taft and Beveridge are a unit on this point. If the Hon. J. C Napier, Nashville's favorite leader and original Tennessee Taftite, is not handed out a liberal slice of the administration plie at Washington, it will not be the fault of Col. Roscee Conkley, the New York National Review. We have known Mr. Napier for a number of years and to know such a manly and gracious groom is to love him. He richly merits the best Prairie place, can offer him, and he will honor the place far more than it can honor him. So rarely are white men "jacked up" for insulting colored women that such an act is not a common occurrence of special mention. Policemen J. Garvin and E. J. Thompson have been indefinitely suspended for mute force by the police department, brought by a colored girl, who alleges that the officers insulted her. When not insulted, they are the Southland, let us not overlook these victims of the "silver lining" in the zones of civilization. Editor Nick Chiles, of the Topena Plaindealer, who speaks out in the meet- ing whenever he gets good and ready, says "Mississippi belongs to the Negro by emption and by request," and he makes him should do it; to live beside the Negro he should get out—lease or sell his land and move to the cities. The Negroes outnumber the whites three to one; so let him be a slave to the Negroes—hell—we care not which." When Nick gets "on his muscle" there aren't no more to it, as the boys would say. Miss Mata Vaux Warrick, who designed the tableaux commemorative of the history of the Negro race in this country since the landing at Jamestown, and which proved to be the piece-de-resistance of the Negroes in Jamestown in 1907, was united in marriage with Prof. Solomon C. Fuller, superintendent of the Hospital for the Negroes (or Mrs. Fuller) is a native of Philadelphia, coming from one of the Quaker City's oldest families, and was educated in sculpture in the Drexel Institute of Fine Arts in Philadelphia and took an advanced course in Paris. The white labor unions over-reached themselves in the Georgia railroad strike. They failed because they went out of their way to antagonize competent fellow-workers and to disqualify them for logical disqualification for service. Within legitimate channels—such as elevating the standard of the calling and resisting encroachments upon "vested rights—the right to work"—the Georgia organization is used to oppress the weak, through selfish greed, the conspirators deserve to be swept from the face of the earth. The hand of God-was in the firemen's strike and justice was moved to open her eyes in the black man's behalf. State Senator Cone's antipathy to blue uniforms and brass buttons on Negro students kept the Colored Agricultural and $400,000 in the bank. It was $400,000, but could not so override the "classy" whites to the extent of abolishing the annual appropriation for the "school's support. Fifteen thousand dollars of the decimals was wasted in the case that the educators in the state concede that military training is the most effective method of instilling in boys a sense of order, system and obedience to commands, besides promoting health and many bearing. Gimbletti was the first to keep the South in the rear of the national procession. Morris College, a new institution under Baptist auspices, located at Sumter, S. C., is prospering. Dr. E. M. Brawley, an accomplished scholar, is its president. A large tree of laurel was planted into building lots and a colored city is to be developed on the site. When Dr. Booker T. Washington visited the school recently he was agreeably surprised to find inscribed on the wall the name of the nine members of President Taft's Cabinet. The "Wizard" remarked jocularly that he was glad the young folks down that way were keeping up with the times, and doubted if there were not some memorials to the place they were in the dark as to who constituted the Taft Cabinet. The South is disposed to accept the trulism that "Negro labor is its best asst-railroad to bring" the Georgia Railroad to "bring" its faithful men to please a gang of professional agitators and pernicious "walking delegates," the Houston & Texas Central Railroad has declined to grant the demand of the town to the state, but that Negroes be displaced for whites in the yards. Negroes have been giving satisfactory service for years, and came in as part of the succession of tribes in the history of the road. The fidelity of the Negroes has not been forgotten by the management, and they will not be disbanded now and be behold of schemer whom the company can have no confidence. Sylvester Russell, now located "for good" in Chicago, has brought out a sprightly little magazine called "The Chicagoity," which has brought on to town and is making many friends in the "Windy City," notwithstanding his plain way of calling a spade a spade when discussing matters touching the dramatic social, educational and cultural issues of the stars" of the theatrical firmament expect to hear from him regularly through his favorite organ, THE FUEBMAN, and he will be there when he shakes up the dry bones on the State Street "Rialto," and making a stir in the heart of "Dahomey." His presence will bring the better among many lines among the natives of the little old town by the lake. Manager F. K. Bird is proving that the Zionites made no mistake when they placed him in charge of the business end of the company. He is the matteo lotte, N. C. He is a born financier and is equipping the plant with a first-class outfit and is turning out the highest grade of employees. His latest triumph is the installation of one of the most modern styles of type-setting machines, which will be put into use by the company. We had the pleasure of visiting his publishing house during a recent visit to Charlotte, and were deeply impressed with the work of the entire establishment. In developing this up-to-date plant, Manager Bird worked with the workers are making a long stride toward the solution of the so-called "race problem." COVINGTON, KY.

CROWN POINT, Ind.—Later reports of an automobile making the circuit of the one cup race course, late Thursday night, and which crashed into the machine containing for the Johnson, the heavyweight pugilist, and a party of friends, indicate that Johnson was not in one of the women in the party was pugilist. The accident first became known today. Johnson, who is training at Cedar Lake, has entertained a party of friends from Chicago, and the members of the party make the rounds of the race track, the west leg of which manages the lake. Johnson, with his management, is the last course, and immediately followed by a car containing his friends. At the southeast corner of course, where the one bad place of the race course, the recent lap up race cautious, the driver of the rear car tried to pass the close of Johnson, whom he had been driving. The machine veered short and skidded, the second left, just as the two machines were running at a terrific speed and both rear the second car, in which sat the pugilist's wife, were broken off close to the axle. nature of the occupants of the car remains, the machine and were only slightly hurt, but not with the driver, hurled herself from the car, before her companions could stop her, and flashed a red light. on the sharp stones that lined the side of the roadway.

Ankles were hastily secured to attend the woman, and the party returned at once to the training course. Efforts to obtain the identity of the injured girl were useless. Beyond saying they would commit themselves, none of them would commit themselves. CAN'T MAKE JEFFRIES FIGHT. Johnson Has Given Up Hopes of Meeting Big Californian Ex-Champion. CHICAGO, Ill.—"I can't drag Jeffries into a ring if he doesn't fight to want. He won't fight me, and I suppose that's all there is to it, though I have steadily offered him ever since my fight with Tommy Burns." This was all Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion, would say when his attention was on me, though I have decided that James J. Jeffries had decided that he would not fight the black man, as he could not get into proper condition. George Lytle, Johnson's manager, announced that Johnson has agreed to fight Al Kaufman in Callahan. It has not yet been decided whether the fight will take place in Cofforth's Colma fight pavilions at Tacoma or in one of the pavilions at Tacoma Amherst. Johnson originally signed articles last June for a fight with Kaufman, but later he canceled them. Since then he and Johnson have agreed to agree on terms. Lytle said Kaufman has wired his acceptance of Johnson's terms. WOLGAST GAVE CHAMPION NELSON A HARD BEATING Durable Dane Meets Match in Ten Round Fight with Milwaukee's Tough Mixer at Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Cal.-Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee, despite the fact that he weighed five pounds less than Battling Nelson, gave the durable Dane a thorough trapping in a ten-round bout before the Philadelphia after an even first round. Wolgast waded in and had the advantage in six of the remaining nine rounds. The champion did not have a single round in his favor, and then break being the very best he could get. Wolgast fought the champion at his own game and beat him decisively. Nelson's face was badly swollen and blood streamed from his nose and mouth at the end of the fight. Wolgast was practically unmarked. It was a terrific fight from the start, and it was not until the ninth and tenth rounds that Wolgast succeeded in stopping Nelson's steady rushes. Nelson was worried man in several stages of the fight. SANFORD ATHLETICS' GAMES. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.—The Athletics have played the following games: Game 1: R. H. E. S.

Conqueror of Joe Gans Thinks He Can Whip Wolgast After a Rest. LOS ANGELES, Cal. —“Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee and myself finished our little ten-round scrap. We both weighed in under 150 pounds. I did as I always do, fight all the time I'm in the ring. I tried to put him out in ten rounds, but I failed. I think in a longer fight, I would be a proper player. And in a ten-round session is difficult. He is a pretty tough fighter at that, for a good rest, as soon as I get back from New York City, where on July 24, I box an exhibition for the benefit of the Newsboys' Home. I don't want to detract from Wolgast's good rest, but I think with a good rest I could finish him with a lot more ginger. The German did a little more holding than the rules allow, but I think he would be required for that. “I want to say I never did pose as a short distance fighter. As a finish fighter or over my own (the Battler's) route—a 45-round bout or a 50-round bout, I would little. Let the long distance fighters get busy. Come on, you tough ones!” "TERRIBLE" SAM LANGFORD WANTS MORE THAN $5,000 After Learning that Ketchel's Share Is $20,000, Langford Wants More than First Offer. NEW YORK.-The Ketchel-Langford battle, an affair of world-wide interest scheduled to take place at Ely, Nev., on Monday, will be the Langford has kicked over the traces and now refuses to accept the sum offered by the mining town for a fight with the champion of the 154 division. When the match was first arriving, Woodman, Langford's manager, offering $5,000 for his end, win, lose or draw. Woodman immediately accepted, but when the articles arrived and he balked, and now demands $12,500 or he will not fight. While Langford and Woodman have argued all along, the match only given the chance, this demand for more money was bound to follow. It is doubtful whether Langford ever got $5,000 for his end in any way. Now he demands more than Jack Johnson got for winning the heavyweight championship of the world. Langford, in view of how he has been about having no worlds left to conquer, shouldn't let this opportunity slip by. "TERRIBLE" SAM FAILED TO KNOCK OUT JOHNY HAYNES Though Floored Four Times by Boston Middleweight, the Chicagoan Went the Limit of Six Rounds. PITTSBURG, Pa. — Johnny Haynes, known in fighting circles as Klondike, a colored fighter from Chicago, Wednesday of last week put a check on Sam Langford, the most successful alleged champions, by staying six rounds with the champion of England. Johnny took every blow the much heralded fighter from the East had to handle, and was able to win twice Langford went to the floor from left hooks to the jaw, but came back strong and managed to floor his opponent four times during the battle. Klondike connected with Langford's law and the Easterner spun around, looked dazed for a second, but came back fighting like a demon. The knockdown aroused him and during the fight, he floored him. The third round was a repetition of the second, minus the knockdown, with Langford apparently fighting himself out. Klondike plucked up courage in the fourth wearing Langford down with numerous low stomach blows, going after a THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER knockout with his left. He connected with Langford's jaw, but, after two seconds, Langford again was on his feet, and Langford recuperated in the fifth, going after the Chicago led, putting him down twice. In the sixth, he was being pulled by a ruler that Khlonde away, the latter was there with a body punch and then Sam clinched rather than stand further punishment. His opinion is that Langford will have to show better form before he reaches championship timber. In the best preliminary of the night Jake Langford of the 110-pound champion of the world, almost met his Waterloo at the hands of Ed Whittaker, an unknown colored fighter, from Cleveland, Walsh, after which Whittaker took a brace and chased the champion around the ring for the rest of the battle. JOE GANS EARNED $300,000 DURING RING CAREER One-Third of It Earned in Last Three Years—Has a Better Opinion of Fighters of the Past. BOSTON, Mass.—Joe Gans was in a reminiscent mood the other day and in talking about his career in the ring he has played. He has given us his earnings that most of the retired boxers tell the public. “In leisure moments,” says the old master, “I have figured up what my earnings have been in the past year and the over $300,000. Since I managed my own affairs the last three years I have earned about $100,000, and never lost a battle.” Gans was then asked opinion of the pro-am event. He said, “I was still in the game I could talk and back my talk in any class. I will say this, with no disparagement to the boxers of the present time, do not see them as are good at new years' events.” “They do not seem to last more than a year or two. Go back a few years and see he wooed stool—and there was fighters twelve-year holder of the heavyweight title; and Bob Fitzsimmons, holding the middle and heavyweight championships, and also at boxers like Kid Lavigne in the ring and John Smith in the welterweight class; George Dixon, the great little featherweight, and Jimmy Barry, the 105-pounder. Now we have Jack Johnson, Mulligan Sullivan, Neil Ferguson, and Gus Smith are the finished ring men such as we had fifteen years ago.” SPITBALL IS DYING. The spitball will be a thing of the past in a very little while. The invention, variously known as the spitter, the damp sling, the vapor pellet, the aqueous shoot, the vapor pellet, the aqueous shoot, the other euphonious names, is dying a natural death. It is on its last legs, and those people who have demanded legislation for its abolishment can rest easy, out it out. The delivery that "Happy" Jack Chesbro made famous and the ball that made other pitchers jealous for a long time will be laid on the shelf as the natal mask that by rights had no place in baseball. It is a disgusting and unhealthful delivery, and, while it has proved more or less effective, it has been the means of keeping the ball back that by rights had no place in baseball. It is still vividly remembered by New York fans who witnessed Chesbro's wild pitch over Kleinow's head and Williams's wild throw to the plate in the same game, that usurpation of the American League pennant by one game, the last day of the championship season. Evidences of the early decay and final death of the freakish, disgusting delivery man who was so successful with its use and who was the man who developed it to its highest degree of effectiveness, has cut it out. We can find that their "salary wing" becomes sore and almost useless for any other delivery. Chesbro is an instance of this, although he refuses to acknowledge that the spitter was a man who was backing back on him. But it was, nevertheless. There are only three natural spitball pitchers now doing business in the American League. They are Walsh, Lake and Kane, who are two of the few not much else. There are other twirtiers who occasionally dampen the ball, but they make mere bluffs mostly. The following is a complete list of the pitchers in the American League list, the spitball pitchers Lake, Chessbro, Quinn, New York; Walsh, Smith, Chicago; Berger, Lleibhard, Cleveland; Schitzer, Cicotte, Steele, Boston; Dygert, Morgan, Philadelphia, and Howell, St. Louis. But Walsh, Lake and Dygert are gradually cutting the spitter out. Next year there will be many less. Mullin, of Detroit, will be the major pitcher so that the Tigers and Washington have no damp-slinging artists. They are entitled to wear medals. It is much the better way for the delivery to die a natural death than to legislate out of business. The Tigers have largely on their spitball pitchers to have the delivery abolished suddenly. THE PURCHASE OF PLAYERS. "Why don't they go and get a ball player or two?" is a sentence that falls from the lips of fans oftener, in a little losing streak of the club, than any other. You can get a ball player who can deliver the goods, and it might help their consistency to point out a few things in connection with the purchase of high-grade ball players. The American Association is a league which is but a shade slower than major company. Players to make good here must be of practical major caliber. It is not of practical major caliber in midsummer season must be done mostly in the two big circuits. If a man won't do on another minor league team he will hardly do for a practical major caliber. Material must be better in midsession. Then it means to go higher and try your hand. Money won't buy the good men there. Major league teams have never been so stingy of players as this season. They are the ones for each league riding around the bottom who will grasp at most anything to get new faces on their team. Walivers asked for talent will usually find it held up. So they have to find them for players midseason is a pretty tough job. Columbus Dispatch. ATHLETES DEPEND TOO MUCH ON LEGS. "Track athletes, especially schoolboys, depend too much on the legs for success. It is all very well to have a fine pair of legs, but without a good body above them they will not amount to much," says a writer in Spating's film. "I do not mean by a good body that it is necessary to have a Sandow show of muscles on back and abdomen. But it is necessary to have strength in the body, especially in the back and abdominal regions of special sites should be used to exercises that will develop the heart and lungs. Club swinging, dumb bell work and deep breathing exercises will develop the chest. Body movements (either with or without) during the long-term position will be the fingers touch the floor, movements from side to side, and similar exercises will strengthen the back and abdominal muscles. A very good exercise for this purpose will be found by lying down in the leg and the leg and the leg and the leg and the drawing up the legs outstretched to a perpendicular position several times. This exercise can be varied by keeping the legs still and rising to a sitting posture several times is a good practice for the body should be very strong and wiry and I lay special emphasis on this because so many scholastic track athletes neglect their bodies and then wonder why they do not improve. Those trying for the projects to see on the side of the body are for all the field events the body is just as important as the legs." BALTIMORE, MD. Sports. G. T.

RUTH LORAINE SHAFFER Ruth Loraine Shaffer, youngest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. G. H. Shaffer, died at the family home, 1706 Senate avenue, New York. She was just budding into young womanhood, beem near her seventeenth year. She had been ill for about two years, during which she held the position of teacher and friend a beautiful fusion of patience in suffering and the inspiring atmosphere which surrounded her bedside was remarked by all who visited her. She was resigned to her death, and talked of approaching change as one would speak of taking a pleasant journey. She arranged details of her funeral naming minister to be a young girl members of her Sunday School class, whom she wished to act as pallbearers, the Scripture lesson to be read, and with a loving message to each, bade them a long and last farewell. Her death was peaceful. Gently folding her arms across her chest, she rose and prose of that sleep that knows no awakening. "It is not death to die. And leave this mortal dust. To Join the immortal saints on high." Her funeral was held at the home Tuesday afternoon and was largely attended. By the request of the deceased, Rev. W. H. Thompson sang "Flee as a Bird;" Miss Grace Barbee and Mrs. Myra Reeves sang a duet, "In Thy Love;" Mrs. Kate Bazel presided at the piano. Letters of consolation and the Sunday School of Bethel A.

Furniss on behalf of the physicians; Douglass Carter, president of the Flanner Guild; W. A. Kersey, president of the Y. M. C. A., on behalf of the Y. M. C.

A banquet was held in the lecture room below. Dr. W. E. Brown acted as looostmaster. James N. Brown acted as looostmaster. Gabriel Jones responded to toasts. Last Sunday evening an audience which tested the seating capacity of the Second Baptist church attended the special service of the sermon, the city. Through the efforts of Augustus Jones, of the English Hotel, under whose management the service was brought about, sixty more were present; Robert Prince more than an inning sermon and left with his hearers much wholesome food for thought. The choir, under the direction of Prof. Robert Austen, and the congregation will be reflected much credit upon themselves and their director. A cornet solo by Prof. Austin, and a baritone solo by Rev. Prince were features of the very excellent program held at the Second Baptist church as pastor of the Second Baptist church at a special service to be held at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon, at which the pastors of the sister Baptist churches will officiate, and at which an attractive program will be carried out.

Carter, who is visiting a number of the college national association, on her way to California, made Indianapolis her third stopping place in Indiana. She came from Anderson Wednesday, and was entertained at a progressive luncheon by the officers of the various local clubs at the home of Mrs. After the luncheon Miss Carter was driven to Jones tabernacle, where a large audience of women awaited her. After the federation composed a member of the federation, was sung, Mrs. Minnie Scott, the State president, presented Mrs. Lillian Thomas Fox, who was the president of Miss Carter was chiefly on club matters. She gave an account of the achievements of clubs connected with the national association and told of the need of work for the organization. She better the condition of the Negro. She urged the organization of more clubs in this city, each one undertaking some specific work toward betering the condition of the Negro. She estimated account of how she had with the assistance in the beginning of only three women and no funds, instituted the New England Club, which owns a comfortable building all paid for. The home has thirty-six inmates, and a surplus fund invested in stocks and bonds. Made from being a prominent factor in the organization of the present national association, she has been active in the New England club work among colored women and was for several years presiding over the Eastern Federation of New England Clubs. Her interest in humanitarian work has best been shown in a "home for the aged," located at New Bedford, Mass., the home of the founder. The institution makes no distinction as to race, and many aged needy white persons have received the benefit of its shelter in their declining years. The home and inquiries cost 400 which was selected by the Women's Loyal Union, aided by the Women's Loyal Union, an organization of which she was the head. The building was designed by Miss Carter. The expense of its maintenance cost 1000 which was aided by the Women's Loyal Union, aided by a liberal bequest left by Mrs. Sarah E. Potter, a wealthy Quakeress. The enterprise is managed without indebtedness and Miss Carter is expecting to receive a permanent fund for its maintenance.
