THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XXII NUMBER 31 ROSCOE CONKLING BRUCE MAKES STATEMENT J. A. Lankford Rescues Wife and Child from Burning Building - P. B. S. Pinchback Named for Good Appointment Thompson's National News Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28—Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, the able Assistant Superintendent of the public schools of Washington, is sustaining himself well in the contentious touching that should be given to colored students. In refutation of the charge made by certain critics that he has been the principal of the technical high school over the classical high school—that he favored industrial training at the expense of the higher education, Mr. Bruce makes the following statement of his position on the matter: "The Negro peasant is wholly unprepared for the complications, the competition, the hurdles of the urban life of New Orleans, Louisville, Baltimore, St. Louis, Philadelphia and New York, nine cities in which the Negro population varies from 40 per cent. in Memphis, and from 36,000 in St. Louis to 87,000 in Washington, contain a total black population of, over half of these cities does there exist a trade school for Negroes even remotely comparable to the Baron de Hirsch School in New York City for immigrant Jews. To the interest of these cities to place within the reach of their Negro population, not only the usual facilities of good grammar schools and good educational institutions also adequate training directly for economic independence." In this connection Mr. Bruce cites his own words in the admirable address delivered at the joint commencement of the high and normal schools of this city, in the hearing of President Taft, in which he said, "We should be careful to enforce the proposition that great bodies of teachers, preachers, physicians, lawyers, engineers and business men of really liberal education and genuinely technical knowledge should be progressive well-being of the Negro people in America and vital to the security of America institutions. Of these proponents, that of the business man and that of the business woman, by any of the separate schools for Negroes throughout the land. To schools, then, like the Institute of Technology in the Harvard Graduate School of Business, is hoped some of our young men will go." It will be observed that Mr. Bruce is a well student of the intellectual and economic life of the Negro people and that he takes high praise to the school that the classical and industrial school shall bear the training of the hosts of young colored men and women who are to take the year to solve the problem of life. In these years, the assistant superintendent furnishes a text from which fruitful discussions may flow among our people in every section of the country. The daily newspaper of Washington was ringing with praises last Monday evening, July 13, over Mr. J. A. Lankford's heroic rescue of the evening Star had the home early last Monday morning. Washington Times had the headlines, "Uncleached Husband Saves Wife and Child," "Evening Star had the Child," "Husband Star," and "Child." And Architect Lankford again demonstrated, as he has always done, that a man who can "do things" and rise to make a man of emergency. It is worthy of note that he has a bibliography of heroism has attracted widespread attention among the leaders of nation's thought and it is said that en effort will have "I have Carnegie the zero-metal" awarded to him of his bravery in thus saving two lives in the most dangerous circumstances. The articles are these: About 3 o'clock last Monday, Lankford was awakened by the smoke that was entering his room and by the sound of cracking and went to the front and rear stairways, but walls of them were covered that the lower hall and stairways were enveloped in flames and that the only man there escape. But, despite the danger, he used his coolness of head or presence of mind. I took a rope and bedspread, tied them under the sleeves of arms and lewed her to the underwear. He then saved his daughter in the same way, and she found the ground the million of the window and sided himself spraining his wrist. He and his wife then gave the alarm and when the fire arrived, the family was safe and she hard at work putting out the fire. Washington's thorongingoing fire department, which with the precision of a Coriss engine operator, opened the dams and subdued the fire. The blazes in the understairs, the stairs, where Christmas decorations were stored. All the inside decorations destroyed, the steps decorated, the woodwalls and ceilings were badly burnt. Some of the furniture and several suits of clothing were destroyed, while the rooms were blocked and disfigured by the smoke. The total damage amounted to about $1,500, fully covered by insurance. It must be said in passing that the final test of a man of acclaim is whether he can maintain a cool and relaxed demeanor. Prejudiced critics have claimed that he are a race of talkers. But Mr. Lankford's long rescue of his wife and child indicates that he reas an architect, builder and organizer. that he is a man who can plan quickly, bring things to pass and produce results. He is a leader, practical example of the proud possibilities of our race and nationality. He should mean, means, be awarded a GIORA, "hero man," a decoration of honor he has fairly won. E. Dana Durand, Director of the Census, has given it out that there will be 330 supervisors' districts, in charge of an equal number of supervisors. These officials are responsible for the formation by the Senate. The supervisors will nominate to the Director of Census the persons they wish to be designated as supervisors. Some of these objections have been raised to the idea of Negroes as enumerators, the allegation being made in certain quarters that the whites will not give to colored enumerators the rights to that supervisors for such districts also. Negroes are subject to this idea is a hint that the Negroes in several of the thickly-populated sections may not feel disposed to answer accurately the questions asked by an official enumerator. The matter of appointment goes over with extraordinary care by Secretary Nagel and Director Durand, and it is hoped that an equitable adjustment will be made besides a quota of messengers, laborers and workers, that we should be accorded a less liberal representation under the present census. Numbers of well equipped men and women are needed to answer the aminations, and if merit alone is to be the test of preferment, we are likely to have a goodly share of the positions of trust and profit to be dealt out within the next year. Negroes are the business man that he is, has the work well in hand—far ahea do the point usually reached at this time—and by January 1 it will be possible to putting on a large force. The positions will last from one to two years. District people may get a chance at temporary employment, as the brief tenure of office and the number of places by persons out in the States of the far West and South. Bishop J. W. Smith is in receipt of an official statement from Dr. W. H. Coffey, secretary of the Church Extension Board, to the University of Michigan for the appointment of Mr. W. A. Rayfield, of Birmingham, Ala., as the official supervising architect of his denomination. Mr. Rayfield has also dated a booklet containing full architectural designs for churches, parsonages, etc., with an approximate cost of the same, and has made his工ho build or make substantial improvements. Mr. Rayfield is regarded as one of the foremost architects of the country. Mr. Rayfield is a graduate of executive capacity, eH is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, and served for a long time as an architect in that school and as a professor in the science of architectural drawing. Attorney Albert S. White, of Louisville, Ky., who made such an excellent impression at the White House and upon his visit here last spring, is said to be booked for a high-grade official berth, and he ought to have it. He has the earnest support of his wife, and his cordial indemnity of the leaders of his State, white and colored, and is conceded to be Kentucky's "national quantity." Mr. White is an outfit, a sturdy outfit in the Ohio State, and his personality has done more to hold his fellow-citizens in line for Republicanism than any other Negro in the Ohio State. He is also independent as our people get anywhere, and when local conditions do not suit them, they do not hesitate to cry aloud and to use the word Kentucky as an independent party or party leaders. Mr. White has won such a warm place in the hearts of the masses that when a revolt is in the air, they might be able to deal with all elements and is accepted as the natural mentor in the political affairs of his State. Up to this time he has been meagerly rewarded; so, his friends have been able to tell him that he gets his turn at the big bat. He would most capably represent his race and the nation in any responsible position at home or abroad, and he would be involved in, which is set forth many of MISOS COLUMBIA LIBERTY (BOTTLED) NEGRO the reasons why he should be honorably recognized by the administration, culled from the letters of prominent persons and influential journals of both races. a valuable contribution to the historical literature of the day.

Special to THE FREEMAN MOSAIC TEMPLARS MEET IN THE TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION Read by Efficient Secretary—People Employed at the Headquarters—National Temple to be Erected—Officers Elected. HOT SPRINGS, Ark.—Special.—The State Grand Lodge and the National Committee of Management of the National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America convened in their 27th Annual Session in the city of Hot Springs, Ark., July 19-23, 1909. The reports of the various officers showed that the order is in splendid condition from every point of view. THE FOUNDERS This order was organized 27 years ago by the Hon. J. E. Bush, the present Receiver on the S. Llander Office at Little Rock and the State of Arkansas Office at Little Rock with one lodge, through the push and perseverance of he founder, the order has grown into one of the largest and strongest lodges in the state and perched in groves in this country. It has 12,000 subordinate lodges and 25,000 members located in the state. Each of this order, the founders met every conceivable opposition. The country at large, at that time looked upon the South much as the ancients did Nazareth, hence the name Dixon line. It was care to meet strong opposition. However the founders and Mason and Dixon line was care to meet before many years many who "Came into the order to scoff, remained to pray." FORGING AHEAD. The National Grand Master, Wm. Alexander, who succeeded the late C. W. Keatts, and the State Grand Master, N. H. Harrison, showed in their reports that the order is progressing at a rapid rate. The National Grand Master had just finished an itinerary of tours of Tennessee, bama, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri and Arkansas. On this tour he organized two State Grand Lodges, 72 subordinate lodges, took into the order $2,000 and $1,500, and saved in the adjustment of the endowment claims $1,200.00. FINANCIAL CONDITION INCANCIAL CONDITION. The Hon. Helen M. Miller served as National Secretary since the founding of the State Secretary, Mrs. Pennie Miller, submitted exhaustive reports. One of the most prominent features of these reports, was the fact that she kept up with the business of the order. The "etcs." were entirely eliminated in the reports. Every item was properly recorded and kept up with the business of the order were collected last year. All claims paid and about $5,000,00 added to the surplus fund. In commenting on his report the front page of a Bush stated: Insurance pants had cost 91 per cent the insurance in force was a safe cash reserve for Fraternal companies to keep on hand, and the wisdom of the policy was evident as shown by the report of the Insurance Commissioner of Arkansas. The membership of the Mosaic Templars of America represented only 6 per cent of the Negro orders doing business in the state, but the assets represented 65 per cent. The order is now preparing to erect a National Temple which will cost near $50,000. A GREAT BUSINESS PLANT. The order has grown beyond the exclusive Sick and Burial feature and is now a giant business institution. The services of ten hospital departments are managed by headquarters. The correspondence alone averages 16,195 letters per year. $50 Negroes are employed by the order on salaries ranging from $1,000 to $500,000 per year. The company the business side of the order. The Fraternal side has not been neglected. $20,600,00 were paid out last year to widows and orphans and the sick and distressed. $10,000,000 were paid out last year to deceased members paid into the order.

Now comes some one who thinks he has invented a machine to pick cotton. Maybe he has, but we are from Missouri—we must see. Much ado in the Negro department of the public schools of Washington, D. C. Every one seemingly is at odds. Congressmen are mad, teachers are displeased. The system of Negro supervision is threatened, it is said. Dr. Blyden, the distinguished African scholar, in advocating polygamy for Liberia, said that "All who have studied the climate and physiological conditions (in Africa) know that there is a physical cause for plural marriage. Wonder what it is? Swinburne hit the American poets pretty hard. It is so strange that the English claim to have but very little appreciation of Longfellow when he so persistently flourishes there. They say Walt Whitman, who is not generally known in his own country, is superior. Governor Marshall believes in the spirit of sweet reasonableness. He says he wants the opinions and counsel of the people. When convinced that he is in the wrong he said that he was big enough to backtrack. He is being talked of for President, but suggests that the future take care of itself. The Interstate Commerce Commission said the separate coaches must have equal facilities, must be regularly equipped. Really, it went to some pains to say so; said that the Supreme Court warranted it in saying so. But it seems that nothing is doing. Might make 'em come up with "lavatory" supplies, and keep the white men from intruding. From all indications food will be in abundance from now on until midwinter, and somewhat cheaper. To whom, to what are the conditions due? To the rain which came so generously in the most unexpected time, virtually giving us a typical season, with its daily rain and shine. In consequence vegetation responded, true to its stimulus. This condition coming about in the usual season of drought is what has been the salvation. Of course, it is not too late for a hot, dry spell, but the chances are against it. The point is that in event of the weather program being carried out as indications declare that the rain and the rain's author is to be thanked for conditions that give a poor man temporary respite, and not the tariff measures. Those colored journals that seem to be most anxious about the presumed attitude of President Taft toward colored men's office-holding tenure are generally the journals that used every endeavor, during the campaign, to prevent his nomination, and, after the nomination, to dissuade the Negro vote from supporting him, so as to encompass his defeat. That their effort was a signal failure is proved beyond the province of all reasonable doubts. —The Southern Age, New Orleans. The Freeman has said something on the same line, but there has been an awful and all-pervading silence on the point. However, the truth has been none the less formidable, if not announced from the housetops. The effect of the "mild mannered" or non-support is apparent today. Not only journals, but prominent colored men chose to be unidentified, so what is taking place ought to be the expected. Demanding place—properly demanding is here meant—owing to services rendered is a sort of lost art under the present administration. In consequence, most that may be done is to just stand around and see what will happen—a sort of waiting policy. And most surely times are out of joint. Thomas Jefferson, if he did not include the Negroes in his scheme, builted better than he knew. But we cannot conceive of the great any brainy Jefferson not entertaining a thought of the Negroes while he wrote. The Declaration of Independence hastened the day of the Negro's liberty. It stood in opposition to the condition of the country. It said all men are created equal, entitled to enjoy rights, and which were inalienable, among which were "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Something had to go—this magnificent document, broad enough for the universe, and for all time, or the institution of slavery. The American people chose to purge the political atmosphere, make it compatible to the nation's sacred script—its very foundation. This in truth since it preceded the constitution, the war and George Washington. It was the nation's ultimatum to England's George and to the world of political tyranny. It was much better that this foundation rest, undisturbed. In theory we have what Thomas Jefferson wrote. In practice we have it mostly. In time a complete reconciliation, it is to be hoped, will take place between theory and practice. Bishop Alexander Walters has been elected President of what is now known as the National Independent Political League, the organization which recently met at Columbus, O. The bishop has at last found what delights him most in public life—an organization of decided political significance, and independent at that. Such an organization will be lauded if it of a surety stands for independence and manhood, rather being at odds with a given party at any cost. The world has respect for true independence—that part of the world which counts most. It, however, must be satisfied that it is independence and not its counterfeit. Bishop Walters has not always given evidence of being strictly the independent man that he prefers to be rated, yet his integrity in the matter cannot be successfully questioned. It is his decided tendency to break from a particular party that has caused doubt at times as to the actuating motive. It may be due to his intense spirit of independence within that chafes at anything that looks like a voke. Without attempting to do more than establish a principle, or to uncover one, in the action of men, we may say that, independent as men get to be, or think they get to be, they yet lean toward some of the greater parties, generally those of which they had been regular members, acting with them at times, and especially when their principles are the better ones. In fact, we cannot conceive of independence in politics unless of this nature. One may be a free lance, yet he should have reason for being so if he expects to be regarded. Opposition because of the possibility is not the expected, nor the respected. Bishop Walters and the newly named organization can win general praise if they will prove themselves—not in a beautiful attitude, "waiting," but appropriately aggressive in looking for race advantages. The attitude of a subsidized appendage to some party should not obtain of an organization that boasts of Bishop Walters, Bishop Turner, Drs. A. H. Grimke, L. G. Jordan, J. M. Waldron, Editor W. M. Trotter and many others, concededly intellectual men, and of force in the affairs of the race. But can they steer their craft clear of the shoals as wise as they are? If they can, it is evident that before long they will find many inquiring after their organization, if otherwise it will be one more wreck added to the efforts of the past, and which will more effectually bar the way. JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY AT THE UNVEILING OF MONUMENT TO DUNBAR. James Whitcomb Riley helped Matilda Dunbar, mother of the deceased poet, from her carriage and conducted her to the platform at the unveiling of her son's monument at Dayton. The aged woman wept when an unpublished poem of gratitude from her son to his patron poet was read. James Whitcomb Riley first became acquainted with Paul Lawrence Dunbar when the latter was an elevator boy. Riley was lecturing in the city, and happened to read some of the lad's verse. He was struck with its merit and called on him in the elevator. From then on they corresponded until the young man died in 1906. The monument was unveiled by the poet's favorite nephew, Paul Lawrence Dunbar Murphy, aged nine, of Chicago. In compliance with a wish in one of the poet's death songs a willow was planted Saturday over his grave. ON THE ROAD TO LOUISVILLE. Bigger and grander than ever—Business Men's League at Louisville, Ky., August 18. That city, long since noted for its hospitality and cheer, will guarantee all that the visitors may be looking for, and then some, Already the word has gone out that the city expects to maintain its good name for fellowship. The colored people there are "attainted" with the disposition of the white people in that they spare no pains in showing the guests that they are welcome, that theirs is the freedom of the city. So along with the sessions of the league, society will not forget its own. Far and near know of Louisville society, and which parts will not fall to take advantage of this occasion, when it will be at its best. Then, again, the sons and daughters of Kentucky are everywhere. The week of the 18th of August will be an excellent one in which to report home. And what true Kentuckian is it that does not feel in honor bound to report home every now and then? It is fairly certain that the various States will feel a draft on their Negro populations during the big meeting, where Booker T. Washington presides. SHE IS INTERESTED IN THE NEGRO. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the well-known writer, thinks well of the Negroes. She, however, does not let her regard for them run away with her. She offers criticism where she thinks it is needed. Recently she had the following to say: "All over America, wherever the colored people have settled in communities, there is a painful evidence of their lack of pride in the making of an attractive home. Well-dressed men and women come forth from dingy houses, ugly from the lack of a little paint or whitewash, and where the light of day straggles through unwashed and uncurtained windows." "Clean up and brace up, and realize how great have been your achievements in the past, and how wonderful they are in the present! "And success to you!" Of course, this is not the prevailing THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. condition. But, as she said, the condition is to be met with, and which is also known among other people. Perhaps it is more general among Negroes owing to the circumstances with which they have to contend. Among Negroes, also, are to be seen the most pretentious homes, often fitted out in elegance far above the money making condition of the occupants. It is the thing, pride. These people have denied in most ways in order to have well-furnished homes that are so compatible with their somewhat oriental nature. IN FAVOR OF THE SMALLER FAMILY. The Rev. W. K. Inge, D.D., of London, England, says that the English birth rate is perilously excessive from a social and eugenic viewpoint. Those of the slums prefer large families because the children earn money. He says that "in some districts the working classes are so much afraid of sterile marriages, on purely economic grounds, that they will not marry until they know that the marriage will be fruitful." We in America sometimes think we know poverty and slumism, but we are mistaken, in view of what exists elsewhere. In the poor districts of England and Europe as a whole, we may say, poverty is "infinite." Too serious a condition is fairly cared for by their great hospitals, soup houses and various other institutions of charitable aspect; but think of the necessity! The warfare seems to be to avoid these institutions and in consequence the children are the annuities of the slum dwellers, insuring against pauper institutions. It is as they see it, and of course they know. America may see the day when children will be considered assets rather than incumbrances, but the time is not now, nor does it bid fair to be anyways soon. Our proletariat in the most part is somewhat indifferent, with a leaning toward the diminished family. The viewpoint is different. Money for ordinary purposes comes freely. To spend it to the best advantage for pleasure, for comfort, seems to be it, and which pleasure and comfort could not come together with a whole lot of the future generation. Thus the conditions of the two countries are reversed. The poor of England find children an assistance, while they are often viewed as a hindrance in this country. DISCHARGE OF NEGROES DEMANDED. Now comes petitions for the discharge of colored workmen on the Harriman railroad lines, especially those operated in Texas. Unless the petitions are denied the gair at Atlanta will not be so great. Judge Lovett, who has the matter in charge, said: "In courtesy to the gentlemen who have presented the petitions I cannot say what my answer will be. I can say, however, that I shall not wait for the return of Mr. Harriman to give a definite answer to the petitions, but that I shall answer formally in a letter to the gentlemen who have presented these petitions. These gentlemen are at liberty to make public the letter, which they will receive in a few days, and the position taken therein will be the position of Mr. Harriman with respect to the attitude of his railroads in Texas upon the issue which has been raised. Many Negroes Loyal. "It should be understood, however, that some of the Negroes at work in the Houston yards have been loyal to his interests for almost a generation and that they stood by the railroad when the whites deserted it and became strikers. Being a native of the State of Texas, I am naturally disposed fully to sympathize with the position taken by the various signers of the petitions presented, and as president of the Houston & Texas Central Railroad, I am likewise disposed to appreciate loyalty of service, whether it comes from a black man or a white man. "My conference with Mr. Sexton was a most pleasant one and a thorough understanding was, I think, arrived at. For the rest I can say only that the contents of my letter, soon to be mailed, ought to be satisfactory to all parties concerned in the controversy." TO THE FORE IN MISSISSIPPI. Mississippi, despite her "black belt," which is so often referred to in no complimentary way, threatens to become the banner business State of the Union. Of course, this has reference to the colored people. Booker T. Washington is authority for the announcement that of the three days of the Negro Business League meeting one whole day will be given up to that State. The magnificent showing of Mississippi is largely due to Chas. Banks, who has labored in season and out, second the work inaugurated by Mr. Washington. In fact, the State seems full of what we may term public spirited Negroes, those who struck for deep water, and who must swim. And it does appear that after all we must turn eyes southward for that genuine business enthusiasm among the race. Due to the severe pressure, in a way; yes. And since there will be pressure and discrimination, the end, as the case of the Mississippi Negroes shows, justifies the means. Perhaps it is too severe to say that the end justifies the means, since in an ideal State, the kind we are supposed to be living in, there could be no unusual pressure or discrimination. But such is theory, and not the practice we know about. Nor do we mean to violently quarrel with temporary conditions as those born of unusual circumstances, yet not to protest at all would be a villainous surrender of a principle which should obtain regardless of the practice. So we feel that the manhood developed and business principles discovered are somewhat in compensation for the means which brought them about. Paradoxically we are thankful for the results of the system, but do not love the system. To love it would be that villainous surrender of principle, but to hate it would be to repudiate the system's work; so we temperize or compromise—neither loving nor hating. A condition confronts us. Some years, many years, we have waited to know whether the condition was temporary or fixed. We are now satisfied. The Negroes will have to care for themselves in a business way. Some parts are slow in acknowledging what is, but Mississippi is not one of those parts; it saw the parting of the ways long ago. Did it hesitate? Never. And today it comes up the banner business State, with Negroes whose very physiognomy bear the impress of those of responsibility, served with painstaking care. Let the Mississippi idea spread and brother Washington will soon have a Negro business congress lasting a week, rather than three days. Indeed if other States become so important, so enthusiastic as Mr. Bank's State and Mr. Isaiah T. Montgomery's State, the sessions would be of much greater length than a week. However, that matter will be cared for when the condition is reached. In the meanwhile let the Mississippi idea prevail. COLORED MEN GET JUSTICE. The race has felt to have won in the railroad matter which was recently adjusted at Atlanta, Ga. From all accounts, the matter is in a satisfactory condition. The Georgia Railroad Strike Arbitration Board decided to know no color line in the matter of firemen. It announced itself opposed to the seniority of white firemen over Negroes, and provides that the Georgia Railroad, when using Negroes as firemen, hostlers or hostlers' helpers, shall pay them the same wages as white men in similar positions. Arbitrator Hardwick, well known for his anti-Negro attitude on all questions affecting the progress of the race, dissented. It was agreed that firemen in the line of promotion to the position of engineer must have three years' experience before being promoted to the position of engineer, and are to be promoted in the order of their seniority. If they refuse or fail to pass the first examination they will be reduced to freight service without losing their seniority. Failing on the second examination they will be reduced to the bottom of the extra list or disposed of as the company desires. Firemen now in the service who are physically incapacitated for service will not be subject to this rule. Concerning the decision of the board, the New York World had the following to say: "In wiping out the color line, the Board of Arbitration in the Georgia Railroad strike case has rendered a no less important service to white labor than to black. "Under* the award Negro firemen are to receive the same pay as whites, instead of 20 to 50 cents a day less. White seniority is abolished and a standard of intelligence substituted which will prevent the displacing of high-class labor by cheap, ignorant labor. "Superficially the award is in favor of the Negro, but in the long run it is the white labor of the South that will profit most from the Negro's economic equality. When such equality is established, white labor has nothing to fear from Negro competition. The superior intelligence of the white man and his greater productive capacity are a continuing insurance against his displacement. In the higher ranks of artisans and mechanics only a relatively small number of Negroes will attain the white standard, but the door of hope will be closed to no man." WHITE FIREMEN OF GEORGIA INTRODUCE A BILL. The white firemen of Georgia have had introduced in the Legislature measures to prevent the future employment of Negroes by any railroad in the State. The outcome of the effort will be awaited with considerable anxiety. It does not seem reasonable that the Legislature will enact laws so drastic in their nature as to prohibit men from working. The following is noted in one of the exchanges: "The railroad operators claim that Negro men are best fitted by nature to perform the duties, required of a fireman, but it is barely possible that the Georgia legislators will consider the wishes of either the railroads or the Negro when the time comes to vote on the bill." The publication quoted, as it is seen, rather thinks the Legislature will grant what is asked. It, of course, is influenced by the action of the State in the matter of disfranchisement. It does not necessarily follow that because of the restriction on the voting privilege that the State of Georgia will make it hard for any class of laborers. As a matter of principle a State cannot afford to thus glaringly discriminate, establishing a precedent for industrial disturbment that promises no ending. The white firemen of Georgia are incensed, and we hope only temporarily( because the arbitration board ruled in favor of the Negroes in the recent contention in that State. This "in favor of the Negroes" simply meant that colored men should have a chance to work, and at "white men's wages," since they did equal work. The only just opposition to the colored men was that they accepted less wages than white men when doing similar work or the same work. The arbitration board worked around that condition, insisting on an equality of wages for equality of service, a most righteous decision, and also most surprising. We cannot understand why laboring men anywhere should oppose the decision. True enough, there are but a few colored firemen in the North. We judge that the white firemen of Georgia take their cue from that fact, thinking of conditions that brought about the thing in Georgia—the employment of colored men. It is within the recent years only that white men have cared for the more "menial" jobs. To be engineer was in accord with the notion of superiority, thus leaving the positions of firemen open to the race. The attempt to make inroads on the colored men as a class is un-American. It is to be hoped that the Georgia Legislature will not attempt to oust men of their jobs regardless of their color.

But some folks don't know to keep an eye on his name. every town where the actors can go. one so colored actor always tells another where to stop when playing at so and so. you will sit the boarding house lady; she knows the show is due. And she will try and overcharge you and will before she gets through. She tells you how high meat is and rent And oil is also very high, so you sit all light in the gloom. When she calls you for your breakfast you get eggs without no meat. And if you know where there was a microwave you would beat a hasty But your troubles have just started if you ask for desert that day. She says she does like dear and you says she does like running away. But you just have to grin and bear it and Of course you've got to pay that $3.00 a day. The kids show people just double and its always the same old tale. She has got other boarders, hard work- But they live in the town, eat 2 meals a day and for a week pay a dollar or When you get good accommodations, or course you do not get it, you will be held up land-labors, will make even an actor sick. You ask for some hot water, but the fire She invites you in the kitchen to look if you have the least bit of doubt. Then you make a murderer a right after the show, she says. I'm sorry sir, but it will cost you something extra you know. You say I don't make the extra cost. I that's all. But when she charges you 50 cents for chees and crackers you think she's got an awful gall. The staff will give your salary, some boarding houses the rest.

Ten years later she toured the States and star. She was then 23. Eight years after she married, she became a married, got a divorce and returned to her old love at 24. Notwithstanding the fact that her long career upon the boards (twenty-five years) has left its marks on her body, she seems as ambitious and nimbate at the same town company as she ever did. She is now 39. MOVING PICTURE SHOW AUDIENCES. In New York City alone there are about 359 moving picture theaters, with daily audiences of a quarter of a million or more and Sunday attendance of half a million. Chicago has daily about 100,000 people in its 359 picture theaters and Philadelphia's 158 nickelodeons claim audiences of 150,000 every day of the week. Replies to letters sent to the principal cities of the country, combined with statistics complied by the Empire April, show that in 118 moving cities of the country there are 1,887 moving picture exhibitions.

BY SYLVESTER RUSSELL Responding to a public demand from Chicago musical circles, we have given space, through the courtesy of Manager James Knox to hear what the critic has to say about the Choral Study Club, which appears at the Institutional Church June 17 and 18, and the June Concert, at Quinn Chapel, June 17 on the second evening of the performance by the composer, witnessed a performance of "Saint John's Eve" in the form of a cantata, which was preceded by two special vocal numbers in the concert. Constantia B, Brown, of Baltimore, Mr. Spyglass is a baritone who has recently studied abroad. His first selection of three numbers was the Toreador song, which he performed the Toreador once before evidence that his voice surpasses Drury's, but unfortunately falls short of the robust sonority of Mr. Harry Burleigh and what is more favorable to Mr. Brown. The articulation neither artist mentioned above. His phrasing is the very epithet of voice expression in which we behold the music of the moulded harmony. There were no unaccented tones, in his mouldings, and where his voice lacked power he did not have to force to rise above mediocrity by art-adultery. Miss Brown proved a good teacher of the ability, but not deep in the lower register. None of her selections were suitable to give us what we longed for in her richer voice. By Frederick H.

RAMBLING. The Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association is the latest in the theatrical circles, the organization for recording advertising shows, for recording of its works. Some one in speaking to the necessity for the movement said, that the colored members of the organization are the artistic standard maintained by the white vaudeville people has been in advance of that of the colored performers, and that the colored performers do not suffer by the comparison. Of course there are a number who think that the colored performers do not suffer by the comparison. They do not need of organization. They are right. Even if they compete successfully at every point with the white performers, association woud still be helpful in the exchange of ideas and for helping towing the advancement of the vaudeville performers. Says the writer: "Agents and managers have been asserting a similarity among the colored acts, and this state of affairs has made it difficult for a large number of colored acts to secure the approval of those that do the emperor Genius, originality is what counts most in the show business. It is not much different elsewhere. The public wants someone to say they are the cruel of the public, but it must be satisfied. "The Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association show should be in secrecy acting that will make a stronger appeal to the public and the managers for originality." The Association will not fight any other organization or set of people. It has its duties to perform and it is faithful to its advertised purpose for existence will work in reason and out toward the end and aim—"To promote the best interests of the people, to assist to the standard of the colored performer in many ways. The members all declare their sincerity to work with all in the interest of the profession." Again the writer says: "The association will not rashly try to make radical and voluntary demands on vaudeville managers relating to any question that might be considered a grievance. It is important to prove that proper idea that the colored performer is going to elevate himself in the profession only by adopting a constructive policy and working with the white managers and little performers instead of against them." The old song goes that it is better further on. The same may be said of the question that might be considered a grievance. A department has been established looking forward to the care of its sick and consideration for the dead. This is a step that the most gratifying the work of the performer. They no longer count the tens but by the hundreds. Every part of the country has these showmen, and who are as likely to be the performer, what has songs done by white organizations.

Azalia Hackley, the well-known singer, writing to the New York Age recently, gave out some interesting information about her time in London of which city she made observations. eBfore that time she was in Paris, was in touch with things musical, and what she says should be extremely interesting to the colored artist class in America. Perhaps it is not necessary to say she was a musician line—a highly cultivated soprano singer, an artist worthy of the attention and consideration paid her.

She did not say that the Negro advertised as hailing from the states suffice for disadvantages. Perhaps it is true, although the man of color from other parts was preferred. Such being the case the stars and stripes should not be repudiated, since they might be needed again. The fact that the time is ripe for distinctly colored artists in London, a pianist or violinist would be more acceptable, but a male singer would fare well and a female singer the agency system is strictly in vogue. You can appear where you please if you can pay the price. What do you get? You get an advertisement that you sang here, plays there, will come back to you later on, so sad. The pointer is very valuable. Mme. Hackley insists that the price must be paid for such an immense privilege, yet if the point is followed up until a fortune is made. It seems an excellent opportunity for some one of talent and money. The investment would be a paying one. The point is that it can do the work, has repertoire and experience, he can expect fair treatment at the hands of the critics, and, if he wins his audiences, he can perform in the world. They never "shelf" their favorites—Pattit's case for an example. To be a favorite means to hold a lifetime job. The instrumental music, in church and choral singing and in composition, the English are superior beyond belief. Even the women artists simply "cat up" music at sight. The Chappell and Boosey Ballard performances, for example, are responsible for superior and exquisite baland singing, but the few English singers in grand opera will explain their performances. Our great artists sing the big things in other guages. Few English artists could present the repertoire that is demanded by a first-class artist in America. The younger artists who could do this work have difficulty getting a hearing, much less an appearance. London believes in music for the poor. S.M.B. Band Leader with Richards & Pringle's Famous Minstrels, Tomlinson Hall, Aug. 8. There are organizations which for years have supplied the best musicians that Englehart has to offer. At East End, where probably the poorest people in the world are, the audiences are as appreciative of symphonies and classics as the more cultured West End audiences. At East End, where probably the poorest gratis, and the poor in this East district are remarkably intelligent musically. At Albent Hall and Queen's Hall, there is often free admittance to a ceremies, but the programs are always paid for, from four cents to twelve cents, and many people never think of buying them. There are dozens of musical agents in the city, the right kind of an advent of a colored artist. A debut and success in London, with the proper kind of advertisement in the New York Musical Courrier and in other cities, is the possibility of the engagement of colored solist by the various symphony or chestras. The innovation must come from this side of the ocean. I wish I had the talent to be a musician, to be a leading musicians, for I know the people who would push them in America, as well as in England, or on the continent. Some one a lot easier. Why do you not be able to be a musician if I do not have the concert field I would, but since I am not, I would like to be one of those to help some of the talented young musicians of England to have a try at it. The English say. SIWEL GETTING READY TO "GO ON." Then, too, there is the costing or dressing of the characters. When all this is accomplished, the performers are ready to go on. The company has struck up the prelude. Some of the company, realizing that it is almost time to "go on," commence to descend the iron stairways in the most careful manner, as they have done, and has struck up their precipitous inclines. Suddenly we hear a voice call out in the most imperative manner, "All on!" He claps his hands and exclaims, "We are going!" This is the stage manager, and his command seems to make your heart beat involuntarily. Perhaps it is not the voice of this thesplan monarch that makes your pulmonary exercise so difficult. It is placed in your throat, as much as it is the realization that every move will be watched and criticised by some one throughout the entire performances. Indeed, once that is realized, the company must that the most important incident in the performer's career is "to get on the stage, be successful and get off." This is the way most of us feel when we don't know how to express our thoughts. Well, at any rate, the manager makes a final signal to the other side of the stage, and the proscenium goes up. The orchestra and the orchestra at ottawa begin a chorus begin a full tune. Everything is a kaleidoscope of action and splendor from the front, but to those who are constantly "getting ready to go on" it is a continual nervous taxation of body and concentration HERBERT EVERETT AMOS.

SCOTT TENDERED BANQUET Citizens of the Nation Pay Tribute to Our Leading Young Diplomat in Recognition of Distinguished Services in Behalf of the Liberian Republic. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21.—Mr. Emmett J. Scott, of Tustee, Ala., was the guest of honor last Thursday evening at a magnificent luncheon at the 131st Northwestern tendered by upwards of a hundred citizens of Washington and representative colored men of the nation, to sign as a compliment the function signed as a compliment the Scott's very satisfactory service as a member of the commission sent by the United States Government, to the social and industrial conditions of the West African Republic and to suggest ways and means by which this nation could be better protected. It was the aim of the commission to discover, if possible, some method by which Liberia's threatened disasters could be prevented, and how the United States might assist in the development of its vast natural resources and to build a new capital. Scott and his associates spent several ewks in Liberia and the bordering countries, and their report is now in course of preparation for presentation to the Presidency. Mr. Ralph W. Tylier, Auditor for the Navy Department, acted as toastmaster, were prominent in the department, good-houmored jibes and satirical references to the current happenings with which the speakers were prominent. Assistant United States Attorney, responding to the toast, "Our Guest," paid a lofty tribute to the work and worth of the commissioners, and hitted terms, like a clear and comprehensive, yet modest statement of what the representatives of the United States had tried to accomplish in the commission. Without forestaling his official report to the government, Mr. Scott told in an entertaining way of the charm of their habits and customs, and lauded the open-handed hospitality which greeted the commissioners from the time they set foot on the ground. He felt fully adored. He painted a hopeful picture of the future of the Republic. EMMETT J. SCOTT. as he had perceived within the elements of a strong national character, a determination to preserve their territorial rights and ideals, and the ideals and standards set by the people of America. Mr. Scott considered Liberia the richest spot on the face of the earth, conceived as a proper help, the patrons there could establish for all time to come a tangible evil black man. Mr. Scott's remarks were listened to with the closest attention and at the close he was given an ovation, the guest rising and drinking a coat to his face, and the hands shaking. Others who responded to appropriate toasts were Major John R. Lynch, paymaster H. Terrell, the Municipal Court; John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds; W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury; Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Assistant Superintendent; Bruce Evans, principal of Armstrong Technical High School; Drs. A. M. Curtis, E. D. Williston and C. W. Childs; Mr. R. R. Williston and C. W. Childs; Mr. R. R. Torney Gilchrist Stewart, of New York, and Architect W. Sidney Pittman. All of the speeches were of an unusually high order—spicy, eloquent, and infuring. The speeches were well established in the wisdom and executive capacity of the guest of honor and predicting even greater achievements for him in the aftermath. Letters and telegrams, regretting inability to be present, were received from prominent men throughout the Washington region among the wisdom and executive capacity of the tuskegee Institute; Hon. W. H. Lewis, of Boston; Hon. Charles W. Anderson, of New York; Hon. Harry S. Cummings, of Washington; Hon. William E. Edison, editor of the New York Age; Attorney Thomas L.

In less than a quarter of a century the city has grown to what today is declared, by world travelers, to be the best built modern city on the continent.

The city has a population of 125,000, and the Brother in Black is playing a conspicuous part in the affairs of the city. He is the emperor. He is found holding positions of trust with many of the largest banking institutions and mercantile establishments in the far west offers so many inducements to the self-respecting, industrious Negro as does Spokane. In religious circles they are carefree for the four well organized churches under the leadership of some of the pulpit giants of the West, namely: "Mother" Calvary Baptist church, which is the oldest organization among the churches pastored by Rev. J. Gordon McPherson, D. D., who is considered one of the most eloquent divines in the West. Great rates of rares are available preach, and the church on many occasions is far too small to accommodate those who come from miles around. He is in constant demand as a lecturer before the State have honored him with the election of general secretary of their convention. He is prominently mentioned for the annual session at Seattle on the 21st inst. The Bethel A. M. E. Church is pasted by Rev. S. S. Freeman, who is one of the leaders of the Woman Methodist. He has done yeoman service in this important field of labor. The St. Thomas Episcopal Mission has no pastor, but its spiritual interest is being cared for by Dean Alfred Lockwood of the city. It has a growing congregation. The youngest is the St. Paul aBpist Church, pastored by the Rev. S. George Mason, the mayor of the city. They have a small stone edifice and are doing a grand work in uplifting men. They have several strong fraternal organizations, namely, the Masona, Old Fellows, Knights of Pythias; and among the fair sex, a flourishing Chapter of the Eastern Star and a Household of Ruth, all of whom are to be in a healthy condition financially. In business enterprises they are not slow. They have a well equipped printing office, operated by Messrs. Parker and McCormick, and publishers of the "Citizen," the local paper.

Among the finest restaurants west of Chicago operated by colored people is the Old Oille Williams, who formerly for many years conducted the famous old Poodle Dog restaurant in this city, which was the first to cater to the fraternity. The "Buffalo" is newly furnished throughout, and is a reedit to the race. The Palace Tea Rooms, conducted by Frank L. Wilson, on the third floor of the big Palace department store, are the most comfortable place to sit, with 125 guests at the same time. Mr. Wilson has fifteen palace waitresses in his employ, to say nothing of his other help. He was formerly managing steward of the exclusive clubs of this section. As steward Mr. Wilson was in full control, doing all of the purchasing, employing of help, and annually handled many thousands of dolls and toys, a large catacombs also conducts a large catacombs business and has a large trade among the ultrafashionable set of Spokane.

At present about.all that ex- ists Is the contest sbetween rival theorists, faddists, fanatics and the selfishly, ambi- ‘dous. one hopeful fact 1s that while fhe dogs are fighting over the bone, the Done is not fighting, but the great mass of the Negroes are hard at work making money, “getting ‘standing, educating thelr children and going forward along all lines. 2 large number of the best ‘papers of the race are placed by a certain few under ‘the charge of being subsidized. ‘That this 1s a false charge no one of good and honest Judgment will deny, but that it is con- ‘Stantly made and left undented is hurtful. ‘Phere is no charge on earth that can bé Brought against the fanatics except the ‘charge that they are fools. Men who sac- Tifice thousands of dollars worth of prop- gly and the friendship of their former friends and undergo all sorts of needless hardships ‘to uphold ideas of principles Which the present generation is not ready either to understand or to accept, are noth ing less than fanatics, their Motive 1s a ‘mistaken sincerity, not'a motive of selfish- ness or of cupldity. ‘The portion of the race papers which seeks to follow sane and praotical lines largely allows itself to be drawn into con- troversy with the portion that stands as the uncompromising advocate of principles and truths that are fixed and recognized, but that cannot at present be applied. The result is confusing; no one can deny that the Negro should have in every detail the Same rights as any other citizen in any part of the country, but onty a fool would try to enforce sucht a proposition at pres- ent. A consistent, steady, unswerving course in presenting news of what the race does from week to week in things that mark advance, a maintaining of absolute silence ‘as relates to controversies and the paint- ing of the most hopeful pictures of success which facts from week to week will fully Justify is the only course for a really use- ‘ful and helpful race paper to follow.

WASHINGTON’S RECENT TRIP THROUGH PORTIONS OF VIRGINIA. Special to THE FREEMAN. ‘gentleman who accompanied Dr. Booker 7. Washington during his recent trip over the Vinginian Railway, recites the follow- ing incidents as being significant and re- markable in connection with his trip: Ta. the first place, It, may interest the public to Know that a. special train was sed during the whole of this trip. and that the private, car used by Dr. Washington and the party was the “Roeket/” the same car former President Roosevelt used on most of his toura throughout the country. Mt one point, where s large meeting was held, the great grandson of Patrick Henry Was brought to'the station by his parents for the special purpose of haying Dr. Wash- ington shake his hand, The parents seemed fa'fnd much delight in having the priviles of doing 80. 3, ‘At severai points where the train stopped, not only. were the houses of colored people Gecorated with flags, but many residences of white people also. ‘Another think that was noticeable in con- nection with the trip was the large at- Tendance of white people at all of the meet- ings. At soveral places the attendance of white people was ‘as large or larger than That of the Negro people. At Christians- burg, former Governor Tyler and a party of ‘his friends rode fifteen miles to be present at the meeting. At Cuffolk, Va, not only aid the Mayor ride with Dr.’ Washington through the streets jot the city in his automobile, but the elt ‘ounelt ‘also followed. in another automobl throughout the entire parade which had been arranged. ‘The attendance of the best class of white women at the meeting was also especially noticeable and satisfactory. ‘One other thing of importance: At every point the colored merchant was in evidence, and it was interesting to sce how the white people ‘consider the news of the colored business men in matters of mutual _Im- portance, “At one point in Virginia, at Ken- bridge, the leading white man of the town remarked to Dr. Washington that Negroes had money invested in nearly every busines enterprise in the community and that the white people make it a point to get colored Deople to invest in every enterprise whieh the white people have established, thereby creating a Community of interest.

They know their season, and won't be even knocked into doing much before their time. It appears that Bishop Lampton did apologize to the white citizens of Greenville, Miss., and that his apology was accepted, thus satisfactorily closing the matter. The weather summary: It has rained punctually on Monday or Tuesday every week for a month. Getting more than our portion. The Commission held that Negroes may be served in the dining department on trains, saying further that if they were served on the third or last call it was no discrimination. Maybe "tain't." On the road to Louisville, August 18. The biggest time in the history of the organization. And why not? Didn't all the colored people of the North come from Kentucky? And don't they all go back to visit some day? The colored troopers of the fighting Tenth Cavalry are back from the Philippines, after a two years' stay in the islands: They earned a reputation for bravery at San Juan Hill, in the war with Spain. New York was eager to see the boys that had become so famed, so when they marched "down" Broadway the citizens poured forth, greeting them with rapturous applause. The question of dignity, or, rather, the lack of it, is cutting no small figure in the closing hours of the primary campaign among the Republicans. All assaults thus far made by the enemy into the camp of Lew Shank as to his dignity seem to have met with compromising defeat. In fact, the Shank interests seem to have been materially advanced by all attacks. It appeals more to the great middle classes, it would seem, that Shank is a man of the common walks than were he an aristocrat, boasting of Chesterfieldian manners. Considering that the classes which represent Mr. Shank's caliber are in the majority, it would appear that the opposition had woefully erred in bringing up any such question as dignity of manner, or any other outside parade or veneer which did not in any way question the ability of Mr. Shank to fill the position of mayor. By so doing the opposition have simply played into the hands of the great commoner, providing him with an immense club with which to crack their heads. Every workingman and others of the class assailed who have any ambitions, regard the attacks on Mr. Shank's dignity almost a personal afront. Such feeling as has been aroused by the unfortunate injection of the "digity" question in the campaign is not likely to poll many votes for those on the other side. VOTE FOR THE BEST MAN. On August 5 the people of this community will decide who they will have for their mayoralty candidates. It is decidedly to the city's interest that the best men be selected. Indianapolis is a great city; not so great in numbers as several others, but nevertheless a great city. Great in civic pride is one of its ways of greatness. Our mayors have been of wide reputation, of good ability. Civic pride dictates that the line be unbroken. We do not seek to advise what man or men will best represent the city, and that's just what a mayor does—stands for the city when it comes to receiving and welcoming visitors. He is at the head of the city government, being responsible for the administration, as the President of the United States is responsible for the conduct of national policies. In passing we may say that we are sometimes impatient with a President who seems to have a desire to shape legislation, when really he is doing what he thinks he is obligated to do. His administration will be a thing of history; he knows this best. But few men are careless of what written history will say. In short, the fact does not permit the executive to go very far in the wrong. The foregoing is not pertinent to the argument, but suggests itself. The mayor is at the head of city affairs, we started out to say, but it is in those half social functions where he becomes "ornate," that he must shine. Oh, no, he is not elected to do this peculiar shining; it is thrown in. We do not seek to lay the stress there, since business comes before pleasure. The various candidates are before the citizens; their lives, in the most part, are known. We prefer to think that there are no bad men among them. All, according to the Declaration of Independence, were created free, but some, perhaps, have lacked in opportunity; others have not had the experience necessary to qualify them as equal to others. This latter condition is unfortunate for the candidate, but the city is to be served, and in such a way that it maintains itself as honestly and economically administered. Again insisting that we do not seek to specifically advise, yet we will say that it stands to reason that the men of broadest experience and wisdom along the lines of the office should be chosen. Colored voters are included as citizens, but for reasons, and for years, they have been addressed twice—with other men, then a special address. We follow custom in the matter. They are originally Republicans, although not the unit of years ago. We stop here to say that it is best that they don't be always so "locatable." Regardless of their stricter political intentions this year, they have a right and ought to give support where it will mean support of the city in all of its walks of municipal endeavor. Civic virtue should also abide with the race, seeking the best for the community as the individual does for the individual. Let us go to the voting places with minds made up and vote without much ado. A NEW BOOK FROM THE PEN OF DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. We have just received information to the effect that the New York Publishing firm, Doublesday, Page & Company, are to issue early in October another book from the pen of Dr. Booker T. Washington. By those who have read the manuscript, this is by far the best piece of literature which Mr. Washington has furnished to the public. The title is "The Story of the Negro." The book, as we understand it, does not attempt to give the history of the Negro in detail or any formal manner, but simply tells the struggles of individual Negroes and groups of Negroes in a way to indicate what is possible for the whole race.

All right Colonel. We expect to have a member of our race in the Ohio Legislature in 1910. I am making the fight of my life to secure Ohio's right to vote. The coming primaries, I found here, quite three thousand colored voters, and the normal republic majority in the county is about seven hundred and fifty. The Negro vote, solidly lined up, can turn old Montgomery to a white candidate. We have never asked for an elective position in the county. My candidacy seems to meet with great favor among our people, and with the bosses." There are some kickers, of course, on the grounds, that I an a "new man." Mr. Jas. Fox has been quite ill but he is much improved. Miss Callie Mitchell has returned home from her vacation. She is a regular reader of The Freeman. Mrs. Transue, wife of Mr. J. H. Trausce, has been very sick for several months. She has a best medical attention. We pray for her recovery. Miss Normor Chandler, of Columbus, Miss, who is a prominent teacher in her state, has been a best visitor at the home of Mrs. J. G. Robinson. A band of young boys whose age range from 10 to 14 years traveling in interest of the Exsteine-Norton Institute, near Louisville, Ky., have been in Dayton several days playing on the streets. They play excellent music, and created quite a sensation in the city. Dr. W. H. Coleman, of Euclid Ave. A. M. E. church, Miss Mamie Banks, Mrs. Mary Scott, Mr. B. Aldridge, suet of Eaker St. M. Sunday School and Mrs. Satie Washington report a splendid meeting of the State School School Institute held last week at Lockland, Ohio's Negro town. Rev. W. O. Harper, D. D., pastor of the Zion Baptist church, Rev. J. B. Anderson, D. D., pastor of the Bethel Baptist church, and D. D., pastor of the Bethel Baptist church, last week at the Zion Baptist State Sunday School Convention which convened in Chicago. They report a pleasant convention. With Willie Talbot sell 30 copies a week, and little Douglas Robinson forty copies of The Freeman, and counting that three persons read each paper, there are 210 persons who read The Rieman in Dayton, but in a city of this size, we ought to have several hundred copies of this great paper, and we are going to make the effort to do so. Sister Jorana P. Moore, of Nashville, Tenn., a white woman who has given 40 years of sacrifice and labor, and thousands of dollars in home and fireside work among our people, will hold a mother's conference on Monday afternoon, meeting Monday afternoon, at Zion Baptist church; Monday evening, Bethel Baptist church; Tuesday afternoon, Eaker St. A. M. church; Tuesday evening, McKinley M. E. church. Every colored woman in Dayton should attend. Rev. J. M. Townsend, D. D., of Richmond, Ind., preached two powerful sermons at Eaker Street A. M. E. church last Sunday. At the conclusion of the morning service, the trustee board read the certificate of "dissolution of the corporation" of the church, the corporation was dissolved by vote of the church, after a long drawn out fight between the opponents of the discipline of the church. For years those who opposed the discipline have thwarted plans and powers of every preacher, but the present pastor of the church was obliged to work through the courts, and several church trials, expelled quite a number of members, and secured the vote of the church, and after a battle that has lasted more than twenty years, the church was dismissed when the discipline. The document signaled, created great rejoicing. Mr. Richard C. Bundy, of Wilberforce, Ohio, successfully passed the examination for the consular service recently held in Washington. His application for "Designation" prevailed, and he was fostered by the "Black Cabinet" of Dayton, and we accompanied him in person, and personally secured the letters of endorsement from the man Henry A. Williams. We also went to Washington, D. C., and in person made the appointment for presenting his application at the White House, and accompanied the Committee who handed the same to the president. We were sent to Ohio. Commenting on the examination, Col. R. W. Thompson has the following to say about Mr. Bundy in his last week's report: "Thirteen candidates qualified for appointment to the consular service as a result of examination held at the State Department in May, ten of them were for the consular service, and six were in the consular assistants. One of the candidates was colored—Richard C. Bundy, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who made seven place in the markings for consul. Although there were many other candidates, the postoffice for which these persons have them, notion of it, but oppo- per-experi- ment as condition, but such is hon- sored, seek to say that men of all along chosen. qualified, the changes and increases are so rapid that there is a strong likelihood that all of the present batch will receive an assignment in the course of time. Mr. Bundy was designated some years ago by Representative Shatuc, of Ohio, for a cadetship at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. It is understood that Mr. Bundy passed the preliminary examination, but he discovered that he was a colored man, a storm was precipitated and he did not enter the school. He disappeared from public life, was held in jail, and the announcement went forward that he had successfully passed the examination for a consulship. There are several places in South America, France, Turkey, the United States, etc., where vacancies are said to exist and where he would be cordially received." poorly played game of baseball by the St. Paul Colored Gophers last Sunday afternoon at Nichollet Park by a score of 8 to 4.

Temperance, by which I mean a man's control of himself and his appetite, is normal and ideal. Teetotalism, is abnormal and impracticable. Drinking in moderation is usually considered, in a perfunctory way, as only less degraded and harmful than drinking to excess. This is ridiculous. To temperate drinking habit is a part of the life of every great man and of every great nation without exception. Good wine and good beer are among nature's generous gifts. They should not be rejected because a few men use them excess and harmfully.—Arthur Brisbane MR. TAFT ON PROHIBITION "Nothing is more foolish, nothing more utterly at variance with sound policy than to enact a law which, by reason of conditionality at variance with sound policy, is capable of enforcement. Such instances are sometimes presented by sumptuary laws, by which the sale of intoxicating substances is regulated in certain qualities where the public sentiment of the immediate community does not and will not sustain the enforcement of the law. The result of agitation by the people in the country districts who are determined to make their fellow-citizens in the city subject to the law through the country representatives, who form a majority of the legislature, but the enforcement of the law is among the people who are generally opposed to its enactment.

The much-talked-of Birmingham (Ala.) Giants, which the Leland Giants, when on their spring tour in the South, conceded to be the best and strongest team that they have played since the 1990s, a five game series here with A. B. C's which began last Saturday until Wednesday. Manager C. Taylor, brother of "Steel Arm Johnnie," now pitching for the Gophers of St. Paul, Minn., has a fast agility and a strong arm, and the fans said, "they look like ball players." The first game gave vent to the speed the Alabama boys possess and their ability to handle the toothpick. Every man had a toothpick, and two. Hard pounding and discipline on bases piled up their part of the score, while inability to hit Gillard, who pitched for the Giants, gave the A. B. C.'s the shortest innings. He was the seventh inning—the only inning in which they accepted the opportunity of crossing the pan. Cobb played a great game behind the bat and kept the local boys clinging to their bases. His eye was accurate and his hand was strong, and his work featured as the best of the game. Cobb held on Gillard's forty-eights with ease. The latter, though striking out six men, gave his support much work to do. He was able to work with their fielding. The Giants were never in danger of losing the game. Gillard allowed four hits, two of which were made in the seventh inning. Desmuke, who made the most of his hurried tantalizing ball in the early game, but the hoodoo slipped upon him and the visitors laid on the ball at their leisure. Francis played his first pitch to the locals. He has a good throw from short to first. Primm umplied the game. Fugh made the first tally for the Glants on a pretty slide from third base. Two players in fourth inning the Alabamans rallied hard and played havoc on Higgens' (who pitched for the locals) southpaw shoots and forked the ball. The defense together and the bull's eye decorated the Glants' score column until the eight inning field fence with Taylor on second base. A couple of more runs in the ninth inning, which broke a tie made in the eight inning, gave the defense a field fence with Taylor on second base. A exception of Pitchers Higgene and Gillard, made a hit or two. Base stealing was frequent, and the fourth inning it was caught. The interest in Monday's game was at a high pitch, and the A. B. C's hung up after the first inning, with 5 to 3. Griffin and Thompson and Pinson and Cobb formed the batteries, all doing effective playing. The Giants started off with a run in the first inning, made by Griffin and Thompson, and fenced, and one in the second. They made a desperate effort to score heavily in the second inning and filled the bases with three runs, and two with nothing else flew off Griffin's hand and be pitched himself out of a deep hole. In each of the following rounds the locals scored one run, Thompson tipping the score in the fourth. Moore, the fielder, untied the ball and ran, who also made all three putouts in this inning, reticit it. The eighth inning allowed the Northwesterners to make two more runs, unable to score after the last WEDNESDAYS GAME Glants 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 33 C's: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 33 FRAGMENTS FROM THE GAME Four of the Giants attend school. Oh, you "Puggy" Hitinchson, we need thee now! Who is the noisiest Morris or Pugh or Bingham? The Giants will return this fall. Welcome to our city. Davis of the home-run fame couldn't get a hit Monday. The Giants made their headquarters at the Freeman office. Griffin is responsible for the defeat of the Alabamians Monday. Someone said Bingham sounded like a circus ticket agent. Francis, the new A. B. C. shortstop, has the "wing" alrightee. One! two! three! Three home runs in one inning on two outs. The Giants play the Louisville Cubs for another series on their return home. No, that wasn't a frog out there in center. That was Scotland and his "Alabama frog swat." It's hard to beat the A. B. C.'s in base stealing and, as you know, that's their hotel. And every one of them can hit--that's the Glants. And every one believes in true sportsmanship. Merida is coming to life again. It would be hard for him to beat himself in Saturday and Sunday's games. Two home runs—their first and second—has made an average Manager C. I. Taylor is the oldest of a baseball family of four brothers. Taylor plays second base and is about the best field general that has played at the local ballpark. I know that he made an average of three hits a game during their trip north. EAGLES VS. A. B. C. The New Orleans (La.) will play the A. B. C.'s Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

The rink should be paying proposition in Chicago. The Monogram offered a very good card in Williams & Stevens, Jennie Ringold and a Slide Singer. Business good. Five a throw. The Golden Gate Quintette has caught Chicago in the right way. They have all the time they want. Work will do this for any act. There are many new acts for the coming season. Miss Lizzie Wallace will join Sharpo & Cambell. In the future the act will be known as Sharpo, Cambell & Wallace. Buddle Gilmore's Trio has been booked for two weeks in Cincinnati by the Green & Brooks Co. What? Buddie and his com-mon will. That, Show Pork Town, Oh! Stop him please. Well, well George White and his wife, Mimi Bell White, bought the Dragoe Frame from Mr. John Seymour, situated somewhere along the old State St. Pike, and Jim Marshall is foreman. The Pekin is doing a land office business at 5-10-20. Joe Jordan is in Pit again. Miller & Lyles are to be the head lines for a run of six weeks with other good acts to fill in. This house never has a bad bill. Jolly John Larkins has been busy for some time writing a new show for Black Pattie (came out with a new song) to hisoes. "All is well and that he has a show that will surprise them all". Davie Payton o the ftrand, wrote the music. John leaves soon to rehearse the new show. If there is any lady in the profession that deserves credit for their efforts to help others as well as themselves it is Miss Mea Fisher, who is putting on a little stock show at the Linda's in Chicago or as much as any in the business. It is a pity that we cannot boast of more lige Mea Fisher. The Temple of Music is opened up again under the management of the original owner. Should the lady in charge put some of the many good men around here in THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER THE DANCE BONNY AND FREEMAN. Fred Bonny is somewhat of a new one up North. He is a good one, brim full of charm. He is a sort of a refined grotesque, doing the common Negro business in a taking way. Rather tame, that is to say, he is not a very charming man. He is somewhat unique even to his makeup, Bonny has been doing work in the South, where he is well known. Another colorful stage woman of reputation, Polly Furniss, formerly of the Foster Sisters, contortionist. She is now of the team of Bonny and Freeley Theater, this city in Indianapolis) this week. Miss Freeman has had rich and varied experience, having seen much of the world and especially that of the great playwright of her experience, being interesting in her movements whether she was doing much little. In other words, she had the great finesse of a great reputation as a contortionist, she did but little of that kind of work. The sample she gave proved that she was yet as little as a willow wand and as springy glove. The team work of Bonny and Freeman was pleasing; it had the same quality as the acting of Miss Freeman—no sense of restraint in what it did; had that perfect sense of humor; had that perfect assures of their standing. Bonny is good as a comedian; he didn't do enough; he gives evidences of dealing out as much as the situation required, as much as conditions warranted. He is clever in his work, and he is a little plainer in his words. He also gave samples of work as a contortionist. The act went big and there is no reason why it shouldn't, owing to the two very clever people. Freeman is beautiful in speech, and Bonny is happy in his jokes, which are very funny. Freeman is but too few, to assist the act very much. The midnight show given by the Stroll actors in honor to Bobby Winston and Rube Foster has brought about wonders. From the man organization that will be worth while. The writer is not at liberty to say, although there are columns what he knows of, but the out-lines of the new organization looks pure business and not motority and gratt. This lovely story is simply floating with good time. Every way you turn, it is pleasure and promending ten abreast all the time. We have a side issue that is not allowed any where inside of the city limits and that is the story of the Dickinson, he champion shines at this with his "Frighten your life out-of-machine." The war of the Slot Houses is still on. The Chester, the fall Guy House, made every one take sudden notice of it. It now looks as if this house, which has more natural hold-back than any other, would be a sin to see what they would do. It would do if they did have a house. Well they haven't got one and they are going to fight anyhow, and every along the Stroll will feel the blow. The Bills offered everywhere are worth the money. At last it has come to pass, the long looked for election of Mayor Dehomey. And who will really become the Mayor, will be decided on September 15, 2015. Candidates, each candidate will have to present his platform to the committee before they can run in the primary. The writer is at liberty to say it will be a large enough to hold the convention in as the delegates -want plenty of room, and plenty of airas it has been decided to make it a love feast affair. The candidate, that's all. At present he is as busy as he can be preparing his platform. The full campaign and results will be published in the Free Press, and the other paper will be stolen news. Watch this campaign-Watch, I saw-watch it. Miss Blanche Arlington will please write or wire M. Jacoby, Pensacola, Fla. Box 22. Things will come your way if you become an agent of The Freeman. A WHITE & WASHINGTON, Song and Darse Men, With Richards & Pringle's Famous Minstrels, Tomlinson Hall, Fiday, Aug. 6. --- NOTICE. Miss Freeman saw Europe, the hope and aspiration of every budding thespian. It appears that the graduation is complete and rest of them. On going to Europe the first time it was with the well-known Williams & Walker Company. During the stay it appeared before King Edward, and three other young women concluded to stay with the object of touring the continent, and for which purpose they formed themselves into a company known as Nettie Glom, Nettie Goff, Lizzie Avery and Pauline Freeman. They found a German manager who was in touch with stage affairs, and it was not long before he bid the quartet booked in the principality. Miss Freeman is rather inclined towards St. Petersburg as a matter of regard, a strange thing, owing to the talk of the great generous and grand, she says; no one thinks of color when there. She found conditions somewhat similar in most of the great European cities, but thought St. Petersburg the best for friendly consideration. In Berlin she colored woman in business—a German negress, running a cafe, the long suite of the race. The help were white, she alone being the only one of ebbys, saffron or rose. Miss Freeman does not think very much of the colored man's chance in other occupations than the show business. And this stands to reason. Europe is an arsenal of the colored man, the escaping give evidence of the kind. The American Negro sees some civil oppression, but to want for "ham and greens," well, no. On her tour Miss Freeman met another woman, a white woman in a stage women, Lucretia Knox, Alice Maxey, Georgia Mickey, Sallie Byrd, who have been abroad something above two years. They, like all the colored people in the show business, are making good. She is a woman, Billy McLain, Belle Davis and others. Miss Freeman has made two European tours, during which time she learned German. She is a native of German-speaking Russian. She speaks of the comedy of errors in Russia owing to the non-acquaintance with the language. They played in Engl. musicals and the music apparently more than those elsewhere. The English, she said, were quite undemonstrative, but were appreciative in her performance. In French, in fact, she has no mino note to strike anent her visit. But through it all she could not lose sight of that dear friend. She had lost his glamour for her or she lost her hold on the popular affections she coveted. She did not do to keep soul and body together. She felt that no matter where she roamed that there was no place like home. It's the universal verdict of those coming home from Europe. She has been spoken of in such favorable terms. CUBS PICK EAGLES. New Orleans Team Loses Game After Wearing Trip—Fans Root For Eagles.

SCRAPS FROM THE SPORTING WORLD And when the "Y" has that field day— If doing it were as easy as telling how to do it, neither team would lose. The Leland Giants Baseball and Amusement Association has a capital stock of $100,000. When an opposing pitcher plays a winning game his life is sometimes in danger—he may be kidnapped. Some managers don't allow their pitchers to overexert themselves on bases. Their jobs are on the mounds. An old baseball veteran attributes "watching the little things of the game" to the success of a player. A pitcher on the Cubar Stars is not confused by watching baserunners; the catcher keeps his eye on them. There has been more rooting for the visiting teams at the Indianapolis A. A. Park during the last season. Then any time heretofore this season, the Indians seem to be pulling hard for the bot- The greatest number of consecutive games won by a major league team is twenty. The record was established by Providence in the 1982 season. The minor league record is twenty-one games, made by Lancaster, Pa., of the Atlantic League, in 1897. The Illinois Giants have a strong team this year and belong to the Inter-Clty League. Johnson, formerly of the A. B. C.s, has made a fine record for himself. He has won all the games pitched by him, eight in all, and has won nine of the nine pitches the strong Cuban Stars to three hits, which is less than any other pitcher who has yet faced them. He has pitched two games against him, he has both pitched against Parks to three and the DeKalbs to two hits. His average for strikeouts has been eight.

CHICAGO, Ill.—Oscar Matthew Battling Nelson, lightweight champion, arrived in Chicago from Los Angeles, where press reports gave him the worst of a ten-round series, and again proved his originality in discussing the battle. He punted it, that the Milwaukee boxer held him even, possibly had a slight shade, and weighed less than the champion. When an admission is rare in pugilistic annals, and Nelson's insurance fairly started a group of listeners, "Woogist certainly made a creditable showing," narrated Nelson. "Even allow-in, and Nelson's favorite god, he held me even. Possibly he had the slight shade his friends claimed and weighed a pound or two less than though we both made the lightweight suit at ringside. He deserves credit for it." TELLS GOV. JOHNSON YES. Jeffries States to Minnesota Executive That He Will Fight Johnson. ST. PAUL, Minn. — James J. Jeffries and his sparing partner, Sam Berger, called on Governor Johnson Thursday of last week to capita and were given a cordial reception. The governor that he was ready at any time now to defend his title as champion. And he took it to go right in now, and kill all the wrongs. The remarked Governor Johnson as he took in the square-built form of the pugilist. The governor asked Jeffries his age and Jeffries said he weighed 235 now, and had him before at about 215, but weight did not bother him at all and he was in fine shape. He are going to defend your title, then he may go to Day, the Governor's private secretary. "Oh, yes." Jeffries replied. "I'm going to right again. I was glad to get out of the ring and did not want to get back, but I am back now and will fight Johnson." One of the party suggested that the Governor Johnson light ought to come off in Minneapolis. Governor Johnson laughed and said: "No. I'll have to draw the line there. You can't fight in Minneapolis." CHICAGO. Ill.—Five thousand men and women saw Jack Johnson, pugilistic champion, through the motions of a pasteurized boxing ring, his sparing partner, Yank Kennedy, between innings at Rogers Park ball park. I offered to bet some time ago that Jeffries never post a fortune to meet me any anybody in the boxing does," said the champion between puffs of diamond battle around the home plate, when the diamond battle was staged. Jeffries never had the slightest. of covering my $10,000 and he never will. As soon as he is through getting the train, he will never forget all about it. He will never into condition to fight me. eH is through. I was not hurt in an automobile accident. Lake, but I am through with that burg. Johnson said he would start for Detroit in his auto and will try to make the trip in fifteen hours. He claimed there was $10,000. It also was made known that Jack has not had a glove on since he was in New York, and that his training at Cedar Lake consisted in steering his auto around the course and pulling perch out of the water. Frank Erne, Man From Whom He Won Lightweight Championship, Victim—Joe a Gentlemanly Fighting Man. As Joe Gans says himself, his knock-out of Frank Erne was the quickest on record in a championship fight. It was a sporting world get such a shock Frank Erne, most clever of all fighting men—knocked out in a single punch by a man he had before. It was incredible. Many of the fighters didn't see the blow struck—it came so suddenly. The bel ring. The fighters met and sparred an instant. There was a rapid interchange with the opponent, settling themselves into the chairs in full, settling the usual "feeling-out," and then a long and scientific fight. Some looked down to knock the ashes from Erne's mouth, and up again there was Frank Erne lying stiff and unconscious on the floor and Joe Gans standing over him with a curious expression of surprise and satisfaction on his face. Yet there was nothing flunky about the victory. Gans had always been a student of the game. He is still a marvelous boxer. He was a great battle-scarred veteran that he is, can be depended on to bring out something new whenever he fights. Of course, Joe is done. The three terrible fights with Battling Nelson wound up his career, and to top it, he won a world championship with a single blow. They say—although he denies it—that he is a victim of the one thing fighters dread—consumption. He will never make another great fight. Gans was a terrible puncher in his day. And he was a cool, fair, gentlemanly fighting man. eH never took an unfair fight. He was a great matching brain against brain, and first matching brain against brain, and first matching brain against brain, and first defeat. When he was beaten (and defeat THE BOXING CLUB JOE GANS. was rare to Joe Gans) he took his medicine without a whimper. Some cowardly fighters prefer losing on a foul to being knocked out. Not so Joe Gans. Joe always had that punch. At first, when a boy he injured to "Facy." Then he happened to see Bob Fitzsimmons fight. Joe was fascinated. He followed Fitzsimmons about the country and blew all comers, eH studied, for Joe was always a student. In time he mastered Fitzsimmons knack of hitting, and then he became a "fibmows." His first reverse after this was in the battle with "Elbows" McFadden. It was a tough fight. McFadden wore Gans down once, knocked him twice, twenty-twelve months, got a draw. Then he won in twenty-five rounds. Finally, in three rounds and got all old scores. Dal Hawkins was the hardest left-handed hitter in the world a few years ago. He was the best left-hander that left hand, but they couldn't stay away from it. Gans fought him. Joe watched the left carefully, yet Dal shot it through a small opening, and Gans suddenly came out. He came to just in time to hear the referee say "six." eH got up just in time. Dal jumped in to finish him, and Gans, weak as he was, managed to whip a right-hander over another right-hander head cleared." Gans told me afterward, "I found myself standing there looking at Hawkins, who was lying flat on the floor." In the next round—the second—Gans over another right-hander knocked Hawkins down months later he had an almost exactly similar experience with Hawkins, knocking him out this time in the third round. When there were no more lightweights rebounding, the welterweight class and fought Champion Joe Walecott. That was a fierce fight. Gans had the best of it, but was given a draw. Later he went back among the other players, where were some new opponents for his title. One of these was Battling Nelson. For all his wonderful punching power, Joe Gans could not drop the Dane. Their second round, Gans being declared winner on a foul. It was a terrible battle. Nelson continually rushed in head down, and arms around him, and at aately hit him time and again, and drove that crushing right against the Dane's chin. For ten rounds he hammered Nelson at will. He grew by growing weak, while the Dane showed no signs of slowing up. From that time on Gans fought with all the skill at his command, forcing occasionally driving in a blow that would have knocked all the fight out of any other light weight on earth. Both were weary and dazed at the finish, and the Dane who would have been returned the winner had it not been for the foul. This was the beginning of the end for Gans. But Nelson finally brought him down. In their second fight Nelson kept to his usual scheme of battle, rushing endlessly and battering and roughing without an end. Gans weakened and at last went down for the long count. Nelson gave him a return match—so confident was the Dane—and wore him down for another knockout. They say that in these last two fights Gans hit Nelson hard enough to drop a heavyweight. His terrific right-handers, landing flush on the tip of the chin, fair- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER lifted the Dane from his feet and flying him backward through the air. Yet while off the ground Nelson turned like a cat and landed on both feet, again always in that endless rush. It was pepal petual motion. Nelson coul dkeep it up and we could continue. Nelson have new champions as great as the old, but there is doubt that we'll ever see another lightweight, with a more punch than that carried by Joe Gain of the Knicks. JOHNSON AND JEFFRIES WILL NEVER FIGHT. BY JULI JONES, JR. Every sporting writer in the world has had something to say in regard to what the fickle public thought would be the best way to tie the two Jack Johnson and James Jeffries. These two gladiators will never meet, if Jeffries has any sense, or is well advised. There is no more chance of Jeffries getting the job than the great Salvator to return to the turf and win the Suburban. The sporting public either gets heated up with prejudice or has a chance to think that Jeffries, who is a past king of the ring, could come back and whip a good first-class second-rater, especially if the second-rater used any ring judgment Men and beasts are allike; it takes youth and vitality to be champions, very little of the vitality peats itself; Every time a past king falls it is from the lack of youth and vitality. The once mighty John L. Sullivan ruled the battle of the crusades, came along during the combat and stopped him even without getting hurt. There is a question about the death of John, but he had taken all of his vitality. The great Peter Jackson was a victim of the same disease; he fell owing to the loss of vitality. The above proves without doubt that in the game heart plays but a very small part. Men or beasts must have the stamina to live over others in a natural contest of pleasing. The writer does not care to be called prejudiced for saying that he thinks there is no chance of Johnson and Jeffries fight over the biggest hippodromes to come off in the history of the ring. When Jeffries was playing at the American Music Hall in New York, he was wild. Crowds followed Jeffries up one street and Johnson down the other. These two gentlemen took the daily press from front to back. Ordinary reporters were not interested in Jeffries, overworked his press agent. It was arranged that Jeffries might show his great powers by having him play ball in open air. Jeffries showed the form of a good hippodromer. It is safe betting that Jeffries could not box thirty three-minute rounds with six months' training. Yet he might have one of his opponents sleep, but his opponent would have to stand with his hands behind him and offer no defense. This would have to happen inside of the first two or three rounds, as he had his troubles in landing the sleep TRIPLE PLAY. UNASSISTED. CLEVELAND, O—Neal Ball, the Cleveland shortstop, made an unassisted triple play against Boston Monday last week in the league. Records say Paul Hines made one for Providence in 1878, but this has been disputed. He earlier started the second inning with a single to center. Stahl bunted safely. McConnell had two strikes and three balls when he hit the ball on a line to Ball. The two base runners took the second inning bags as the sphere left Young's hand. Ball leaped in the air, caught the line drive and retired McConnell. He took two steps and struck the ball. Then he ran two or three steps more and touched Stahl, who had not been given a chance to turn and run back toward first base. The running Ball responded to an outburst of applause by hitting the ball over Speaker's head for a home run. He also had nine putouts, a record-breaking number for a shortstop in a nine-inning game. Cleveland and Boston broke even in a double-header. Cleveland winning the first 6 to 1 and Boston the second 8 to 2. Cleveland won the first game easily. Young outspoken, but pitcher, reduced Chech, and did good work. The second game was easy for Boston, but the second game was hard for allowing Boston to score seven runs in the second and third innings. Four runs more were made in the third without a semblance of a hit. **Triple Plays of Baseball History.** *May 8, 1878, Paul Hines, outfielder at Providence.* April 8, 1892, Harry O'Hagan, first base of Rochester, at Jersey City.* Sept. 6, 1902, Frank Eustace, third base of Rochester.* Sept. 6, 1902, Ibanez, shortstop of Haouquin vs. Tacoma. stop in Hoehn vs. Reece, June 10, 1944. Larry Schafy, second hitter in Hoehn vs. Reece, Seattle. second baseman of Portland vs. Seattle. Sept. 6, 1908. Simeon Murch, second baseman of Portland vs. Seattle. Aug. 17, 1908. Becker, first base of Richfield, Pa., vs. Beaver Springs. All good baseball plays are not being used these days. At least that's the opinion of Jake Snyder, the former outfielder and for some years a member of the famous Baltimore team. “There is no doubt that the game has gotten better in a general way, and that there are more real good players in the league than there were years ago. But at the same time some extremely strong plays are being overlooked these days by players who could easily put them through. But instead, don't see, third base stolen often, yet it’s the easiest steal on the field. All you have to do is to have co-operation between the batsman and the base runner on second, and the thing can be pulled off nine times out of ten. "The way we used to do it was to have the batsman make a bluff at bunting the ball with a man on second. The moment he did it on second on second would chase for third. The third would thinking a bunt was to come off, would come running forward, leaving his base uncovered so that the runner could get back to the course, the batsman would not hit at the ball, it would aim to miss it, so that there would be nothing to prevent the runner reaching third. So play that you don't see often these days is that of hitting the slowly past the pitcher toward second base, with men on third and first, and the team on the field playing back for a double play. W etsue pduh urdu mfwm we don't know why these plays have been accepted, highly have, and the game would be much better played if they were used offener." "AUNT EMILY" DEAD AT 117. Took in.

They are not very anslous to see an income tax, but they are. standing with the gang” that ts in Power—the gang that preaches the doctrine that the rich ought to pay all the expenses of the ‘government, ‘and that the govern= ment must remain In. the hand of the masses. What most of them are very. anx- fous to see is whether the people of ‘this country In thelr respective, several states, would take Kindly towards’ any proposition to undo any part of the foundation structure of ‘Gils Repubite.”. ‘There are. some things they. would ike to see changed—not be- cause tho. changes they would. make are necessary, but because it ts a Southern habit to do foolish things, get into trouble about it and pas generations getting back to the point of ‘common sense. where they broke Away into wrong. ‘The Vardaman proposition to repeal the amendments which made the Negro a full- ftedged citizen Is one of the things that these plutocratic papers would like to. see become a fact. The. Northern sentiment, thought to be implacable against undermin- ing any part of the Constitution, seems to be losing Its tension, and this buoys up the Southern hope of seeing the time come when the amendments put to the Constitution as ‘result of the war of rebel lion would be torn up and thrown Into the fire. "As long asthe amended Constitution seemed too sacred to bo touched, thelr hope was weak, but under the showing developing in the North for revision of the organic laws, en- couragement comes and they are now al- most expecting to see. thelr hope reallzed. If the North starts the tinkering with the Constitution, the South will be glad to go in with It'so as to get_@ chance to. lay Violent "hands on the hated 14th and. 25th amendments, which ft. imagines is _ the Feason it cannot get back into federal power again.
