BY V. P. THOMAS. For the first time in the history of time the president of the United States was coming on a visit to New Orleans does it happen that the colored people of the city are not making any effort to prepare for the entertainment of that disguise? Mr. Taft is to come to New Orleans at the end of the present month, but it is a fact that not a single move has been made among the colored people of the city to speak to him have some one of them speak to him on his forthcoming visit on behalf of the colored citizens of the State. The president of the Progressive Union some time back, gave out a statement about the visit of the President here in the latter part of this month, and suggested plain enough that he expected the colored people of the city to speak to him past, prepare some kind of entertainment for the President, but not a thing has even been started looking to that purpose on the part of the colored people, this thing to that end. The politicians are keeping hands off and the other people are either waiting to see something begin to happen, or he just time he was the President-elect, and everybody was ready to extend a welcome hand to the man who was so soon to become the President, and nobody seems to want to take the lead in extending the welcome among the colored citizens of the city. The opinion seems to prevail among the colored people that Mr. Taft is not the man who would be the president, fore election and up to the time of his inaugural address led the colored people to believe he would prove to be, and the result is they want to have as little to do with the进来 movements as they consisten Last February, when the President-elect Taft came here, the colored people received him with open arms, as it were, and marched several weeks in advance for the hour that he was to be with them at Pelican Park. To-day, only three weeks from the time that he is to be here, not that he is to be here, are not permitted to entertain him. It is the first time in the history of the race that they have manifested such indifference towards a Republican President who was coming to entertain them. It is the fact that the only time one ever hears anything about the coming visit of Mr. Taft is when some curious person asks why nothing is being done on the Senate, and the colored people to entertain the high official. The New Orleans Picayune says: "The election of Senator Picayune has a direct vote of the people has been specifically demanded by most of the political parties in their official platforms. The exception are the Republican, who is silent on the Senate, and the colored people demands the abolition of the Senate. But this does not mean that the Republicans are opposed to such a change, for, on the contrary, the legislatures of many of the states demand a call a convention of all the States to amend the National Constitution as to the election of Senators. The States that have voted for such a convention are thirty in California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, coming, and recently Alabama, thirty in Alabama, and the necessary two-thirds required to call some states. days has been obliged to use a cane to help him along in his rounds among his patients. * * * * The Twentieth Century Educational Congress, which was organized and incorporated in some six years ago, dev.

The papers say that Jefferies is "serious" about the fight with Johnson. Ohyes, "serious" in his efforts to side-step the whole business. Equatorial suns, the salubrious climate of the temperate zone and the chilling blasts of the boreal center are all to the adventurous black man. Those who keep professional muddlers alive are storing up trouble for themselves in the future. The doers of dirty work are no respecters of persons. A well-known Washingtonian proposes "The Royal Order of Clams" as an antidote to the Sphenoptera that indulged in by certain self-consistited leaders. South Carolina is to have a State Negro Business League. National Organizer C.H. Moore is getting busy down in the "Beauhailand" of Carroll, Dart and Crum. The "professional Negro"—the kind that makes money out of the work of the Negro and the jolt that Governor Willson gave him at the Louisville convention in August. The fifteenth anniversary of the Negro's emancipation carries more potency than the year that planted him on America's shores as a slave. Let us celebrate in fitting style in 1933, not in 1919. The readers of The Freeman are desirous of hearing from the brilliant and always informing Woman's Day. Woman's Day has been missed in late years. Let us hear from "Dorothy." Louisville is about to organize a much-needed City is one of the best places in the world for race enterprise, and there is no reason why a bank should not be a glittering success. The night school offers a golden opportunity to the boy who is obliged to work during the day. Take advantage of it and patch up that deficient education before you lose your chance in the battle of life! Gov. P. B. S.

The organization soreheads to discredit the organization only served to rally its friends and expose the weakness of the opposition. "Dead ones" count in this live and progressive age. --- Ira T.

There is "class" to "Cabrile" Anderson! * Prof. Joseph S. Cotter's new album of poems called "A White Song and a White One," is the most widely reviewed book issued by a Negro this year. It is worthy of all the good works of Louise Herald, Courier Journal and other papers of standard taste. We shall have more to say of Mr. Cotter's praiseworthy production later on. * The decadent scrappers of the Negro press should take solemn warning. The news comes to us that the Akhokod of Swati has come to the town to that the Jam of Nawangar has fallen from his high estate in far East India. If any of our would-be "swatters" rush headlong into the "Jam" that befell the sometime royal prince of Swati, they will have only themselves to blame. Dr. Booker T. Washington is absolutely poorest when he faces the vast oppo- ration for the Negro doctor in the South and calls for 4,000 more to protect the health of both races. No competent colored doctor has been known to fail for such a reason. If the failure of the case the fault does not lie with the people; there is something the matter with the man himself. As a producer of voluminous "copy," The Freeman's new theatrical contributor, "Bradford" is a "peach." His string, if paid for at Col. Roosevelt rates, is the most expensive of the Carmie-Rockegeller-Morgan class. "Bradford" is a news-gatherer right and is proving to be the best "find." The Freeman has taken on nl many a day. We shall continue to read him with pleasure and profit. --- Should the great state of West Virginia ever be so unfortunate as to go into the hands of a receiver the man named to wind up its affair with the ability to the Advocate, than any one else—if his past record as the administrator of estates, lares and penates of distinguished men is a safe criterion. Mr. Gillmer is a genius in despatches both wise and is equal to any and all emergencies. It may be set down as a positive fact that the Negro gets away for the education he gets, and he doesn't get all he pays for. The able paper of Prof. Charles L. Coon, showing that the Negro is not a burden upon the white people of the South should be taken away, and needing to be white, white and black. Anyhow, Negro education is not an expense; it is an investment that produces big dividends to all concerned. The plain people are getting sick and tired of the interminable racket among the Negro Elks of the land. If they want to be regarded as "the best people in the world," they may need help, Intelligence and public-spirited men like Drs. Mills, Atkins, Howard and others ought to be able to and a ground upon which to work out sacrifice of dignity or material interests on the part of either. Melvin J. Chism, the effervescent promoter, has forsaken the "eGreat White Way" of New York and bled himself away where he has established the Industrial Land and Development Company, with a view of assisting the good people of Tidewater to secure homes and get state tax relief. He is also adopting the aristocratic "Palace Heights." Mr. Chium is opening a new door of opportunity to the better class of Norfolk's Segro citizens. Hon. Geo. W. Murray, after years of travel, the courts of South Carolina and Illinois, has at last been vindicated. His liberty is no longer in jeopardy. The governor of South Carolina refused to allow Cook county, Illinois, any money to prosecute Mr. Murray, or against him in the courts of that state. The friends of the ex-congressman are pleased with the fortunate outcome of this long-drawn-out contest with fate and race prejudice. The country hopes the Chicago Conservation will emerge triumphantly from its many afflictions. There is ample room in the green fields of the Chicago Defender, the Broad-Axe, the Illinois Idea, Sylvester Russell's Magazine and other publications that differ the uplift of the Negro race. Differ as we may as to methods, it is the desire of every right-wing thinker to take the opportunity to go forward in every branch of human endeavor, recognizing that helps and hindrances affect us all in some degree. Dr. R. H. Boyd, manager of the greatest Negro printing plant in the world, made a big hit at the National Baptist convention at Columbus, Ohio. Improvements of the past year in machinery amounted to the increase in correspondence amount as added to real estate and buildings. Besides the new and best-approved folder, Dr. Boyd has arranged for the installation of an all-size Scott rotary book press in the aNational Baptist Publishing House to be the first press of its kind sold south of the Ohio river. Isn't that going some?" --- Sometimes the Negro newspaper fakin "gets his." The said fate of O'Rourk should serve as a warning to that class of Negroes who run around the country, desiring to help Negro journalism and other commendable enterprises of the race, thus training the business of honest men. Four years of sober contemplation on "the way to help Negro journalism" influence upon Mr. O'Rourk and mayap cause others now treading close upon the line of criminality to turn to the honest path. It pays to be "straight." The Negro's of the nation are following President Taft's tour around the country, and are glad that he is giving such pronounced evidence of broad and constructive statesmanship. They glory in the warm reception he is being accorded by the Nation. Nevertheless, there will be a sigh of relief throughout the ranks of the Negro when November 10 comes and finds him smugly enunciated in the White House at Washington, which is a feeling that someone is going to hapen when Taft gets back on the job." back on the job. Cary B. Lewis, who has been named as the head of the "General Correspondents' Section" of the National Negro Press Association, has been awarded his excellent reports of the Business League convention in the Louisville Courier-Journal and Evening Times. Louisville has become a household word all over the country, and the National Journal and intelligently-directed advertising, and has made a place for himself in high-grade journalism, and has secured recognition for his irrespective of race. Mr. Lewis stands in a class alone, and merits every encomium that has been laid at his door. Notwithstanding special skirts from a certain class of whites, the Negro soldiers stationed at various points in the country behave themselves like gentlemen and manage to win the approval of the real Negro soldiers, and they who sincerely regret that the time must come eventually when they must leave. At Madison Barracks, N. Y., the situation has become very satisfactory. The same situation exists at Fort D. A. Russell's Wyoming, and there will be no trouble at Fort Lawton, Washington, when the furry over the arrogant soldier's warfare subsides. The Negro soldier in warfare is poised as one of our most desirable assets. He is indeed the salt of the earth. the earth. Mrs. Booker T. Washington delivered a lecture in Colorado Springs, Col., a few evenings ago, and handed the "Servant Girl Problem" in a manner that was at once courageous and instructive. She was a woman of great strength, and several of our most prominent men have gone up in the air while trying to discuss it. Mrs. Washington took the very solid ground that domestic service was essential to our society, and there is nothing degrading about it if mistress and maid will only display the proper spirit of justice and equity toward each other. The servitor and the served simply exchange commodities, and both are equal in square deal—the one in satisfactory service and the other in adequate compensation. --- The Jefferson (N. C.) Record, proud of its hustling colored laundresses, printed a weekly column of the Dixon and Ida Weaver washed and hung on the line one hundred and fifty pieces by 12 o'clock Monday." Upon this exertion, the company achieved the Norfolk Lodge Journal and Guide commented in this pertinent fashion: "It is more usual to read about women taking a women who a whistle party. All hall of the women who ashamed to let the world know that they can wash and string out a line of clothes and make a woman more them; they make good wives." As the ladies question are evidently single we presume they are open to proposals from the right quarter. Billet doux sent in care of the record. Record will no doubt reach them safely. There is not the slightest suggestion of rivalry between Register W. T. Vernon and Dr. Washington for the leadership of the race. Each is striving in his own way to win, but they are not but their labors are mutually sympathetic and their personal relations entirely harmonious. The little fellows who thrive camp every now and then, with the hope of securing a rake-off of some kind, in case of a breach in the friendship of the men to whom the highest interests of the race are entrusted. The malicious tactics of the petty editors of the avail. Reputable editors are refusing to publish the petty flings on this and kindred subjects that occasionally go out of the milieu, minus signature or means, deleted by writers. The waste basket is the only proper place for the anonymous communication. The Lilly-white Republicans, as well as the Democrats of Virginia, are "all hit up" over the appointment of a colored "wharfinger" at the government pier at the University of Virginia, to charge of the dock—one of the busiest in the country, and must at times issue instructions to the shipmasters who land there, and this causes the gorge of the F.

If the doleful News-Leader will brace up and try to be a member of the Negro community, whom the Negro loves to associate with, it must not be so difficult for its editor to secure first-class service at the hands of the trained Negro cook, buter or coachman.

New Phone 2880. GEORGE L. KNOX, Publisher and Managing Editor. ELWOOD C. KNOX, Business Manager. SATURDAY, OCT. 23, 1909. President Taft will soon be trekking toward Washington, D. C. Dr. Cooks says that he can make good, and most people are inclined to believe him. Henry O. Tanner is the only Negro artist of distinction. The race could stand a few more. Richmond, Va., has already put in for the proposed Negro National Demonstration Exposition. Nothing like being in time. Editor Trotter, of Boston, was recently elected president of the New England Suffrage League. Something like 1,100 delegates attended the recent convention held by that body. October's bright blue weather was a little late putting in its appearance. However, better late than never, even if it is that forbidding-looking steel blue that does not deny its cutting looks. Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C., is drawing pupils from twenty-six states. This institution belongs to the A. M. E. Zion Church and from which has come many persons prominent in public life. These are the days when the sun stands like a great disc in the heavens from about 10 a. m. to 1 p. m., without a greatly perceptible difference in position. Shadows are not to be relied on at time telling unless one is an expert. The sun will be positively rude in a few more weeks when we will be reminded of Cook's sun, which ran up the hill and immediately ran down again. President Hadley, of Yale, tells us that culture is difficult to define. He says that it is "the oposition of absorption in the obvious." Then again, "The cultivated man or woman is the one who in the various fields of life, material, social, literary and political values in proper proportion the things which are unseen, or at best very impactly seen." The Browning clubs will please take notice. The campaign is waxing warmer right along. Shank is a whole team by himself. In a recent speech to the cooled voters he advised them that as citizens they might expect the same of him as other citizens, that he would be their mayor in event of his election. He also expected them to do their part in helping him by being good citizens. His regard for them is known and they have a right to believe what he says. The President has had such a splendid time eating and being merry in general! He symbolizes the sun, the nation, the sunflowers. Wherever he is, in whatever direction, the people bend their heads in that direction. The sunflowers do that very thing—they are with the sun in any turn it makes. But the subject is the President, not sunflowers. It is said that he is absolutely in the hands of the various committees when he arrives on a scene. They do the utmost with him; doctor the program, prolong his visits, and he likes it because he belongs to the public—an unconditional surrender as one Ulysses might say. James A. Collins, candidate for police judge on the Republican ticket, is considered well fitted for the position. He has been evidence in affairs requiring legal learning and good judgment a number of years, and at which time he has proved equal to the occasions. Mr. Collins is quoted as being in favor of hearing all of the evidence before the accused is judged: he is not in favor of railroading me to the toils having mind the well-known law maxim of giving the accused the benefit of the doubt. Mr. Collins has been an ardent party worker, and for the first time asks support for an elective people. Like Mr. Shank, Mr. Collins is friendly disposed towards the colored people. He promises to be fair with them, to adjudge them according to the law and the evidence. He is for progression, the growth of the city and municipal reforms wherever needed. The baseball pitcher is an enviable piece of humanity when on a first-rate team; salary $3,000 and up, generally up. He enjoys the best; is a tourist while he waits. Then how spiritually blessed! Ten thousand pair of eyes riveted on his every motion, and he knows it. How he poses! First on one foot then the other, looking, for the world, like a Greek statue-come to life at times. How graceful, like as a teacher in a "gym." Will he play ball? "Well, I guess yes." And yet it is not all pleasure to him; the game depends on him in the most part. His responsibility is great. But man likes responsibility; it makes him careful; he wants to render good. And above all, the pitcher has the leading place in the daily papers. The sporting page isn't much unless he is seen there in taking attitudes. A very few men are more favored than a successful twirler of the spheres. But he must work fast; his pace is fast and furious and his burning out is only a question of a few short seasons, when he must join the great army of the unassigned. Now ushers in one Thomas Taggart, the chiefest of them all, and who promises to lend unusual interest to the campaign for mayor. Mr. Taggart is the one Democrat that holds somewhat of a fee simple title on a portion of the Negro voters. The portion was never great, but great enough for the purpose, since Mr. Taggart was helped very materially by the colored voters more than once. The prince of politicians goes on the theory that every little bit helps. So in his campaigns he never forgets to court the colored brother. And they somewhat like that kind of a thing; its human nature; the individual wants to be courted at any rate, even if there are no prospects of successful wooing. Mr. Taggart's persistence has made a good warm place for him in the hearts of many Negroes who hold to the theory that its better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. Some of them support Mr. Taggart in whatever he attempts in a political way, whether it is through a direct vote or fishing party—anything to help Mr. Tom. A little new zeal will be manifest from now on. The movement to have a great Negro Fair in 1913 as a proper thing to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom of the race is being encouraged right along. It is in every way worthy and an opportunity at demonstration which the race needs. We favor the date a few years further along for this demonstration, however, the three hundredth anniversary of the Negroes' appearance in America, and simply because the thing stood for is momentous, giving a still better excuse for such an exhibition. It will be remembered that the hundredths anniversaries of all of the important happenings in American history have been celebrated in some fitting manner. If it be possible to have two great demonstrations within the few years the situation would be more thoroughly cared for. But is that-to be expected? Would assistance of sufficient amount come twice in so short a period? We are for what the wisdom of the race may dictate. What has been urged by us is not at all frivolous or foolish. Careful thinking will establish, at least in the mind of the thinker, the precedent of that first event—the race's being in this country. Yet again we insist that we are in line for the movement of 1913, if it is thought the better thing. Both of the dates mean very much to the race; they are excellent places to take inventory. JOSEPH A. McGOWAN One of the most likely candidates up for election by the people for school commissioner is Mr. Joseph A. McGowan. He comes of good old New England stock and halls from the State of Maine, which fact stands out alone for fairness and fair dealing with all mankind, regardless of color. Mr. McGowan believes that there are ample talent here in Indianapolis among the colored resident to supply all the teachers required for the colored schools without importing outsiders. This he feels is due the colored taxpayers, and it goes without saying that his stand on this subject is attracting considerable attention among the colored voters. AS TO THE PRESENT SCHOOL BOARD. Of the thirteen candidates for the school board, four are members of the present board, having been for the past eight or nine years. These four are Charles W. Moores, Henry C. Sickle, John H. Emrich and William M. Taylor, and they are entitled to much of the credit for the great advance that has been made in education in the colored schools of Indianapolis. The most important educational movement of the present generation has been the introduction of manual training in grade schools, and this advance has been greater in Indianapolis in both colored and white schools than almost anywhere else. Five years ago sewing machines were introduced in the Summer and McCoy schools and the girls were taught to make their own dresses. In the McCoy school besides the regular cooking classes for girls a large number of boys have taken training which fits them to become chefs. A class for shoe repairing at No. 26 last spring was so successful that two of the colored boys are said to have made eighty dollars during their summer vacation in a little shoe shop of their own which they established as soon as school adjourned. Other work of this kind includes the teaching of carpentry, making of furniture and the caining of chairs. Where the board was spending twelve hundred dollars on this kind of work in 1900, it now spends between forty and fifty thousand dollars a year in training boys and girls in the use of their hands so as to make useful and productive citizens of them. The idea of a separate high school for colored people is not under consideration. Instead of this every effort will be made to keep the children, colored and white, in the schools as long as they can be induced to stay, and to offer inducements in the way of industrial and vocational training that will make them want to stay in school until they are fifteen or sixteen years of age at the very least. Many of our readers do not realize how many Indianapolis women are connected with the colored schools. The Freeman is acquaint with between forty and fifty. The friends of these teachers will be glad to know that the school board and the people of Indianapolis have been generous to the teachers in the past ten years. The pay roll which was $30,000 in 1900 is now about $45,000 in the colored schools. Besides this very substantial increase in the pay of teachers, a pension law has been provided which enables a teacher who has taught twenty-five years or more to retire on an annual pension payable as THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER long as she lives. In this way a good teacher who spends her surplus income for self-improvement no longer needs to look forward to an old age of poverty, for the school system will provide for her until she dies. Besides the great advancement which has been made along educational lines in the Negro schools, much has been done in the way of enlarging the playgrounds and the erection and improvement of school buildings. Schools for colored children nine years ago were valued at $90,000; today they are valued at $180,000; the two principal new schools being the Shaw school, erected at Walnut street and Senate avenue, at a cost of $50,000, and the Douglass school, in the southeast part of the city at a cost of $16,500. Besides these a large building at No. 26 in Martindale avenue near 16th street, is to be erected in the near future, the present board having spent large sums of money in buying additional ground on which to put up the building. The Freeman has investigated the record of the present school board in its conduct of the colored schools and is satisfied that the colored people have been well treated. The school children are better housed and better taught than they ever were; teachers are better paid; conditions are better and everybody appears content. Under the circumstances The Freeman is in favor of re-electing the four school commissioners who are candidates for re-election. Two of these are running for the term beginning 1910. They are Charles Moores and Henry C. Sickles. The other two are running for the term beginning 1912. They are John H. Emrich and William M: Taylor. Readers of The Freeman should look carefully on the voting machine for these names and vote for the present board for re-election if they desire a continuance of the good treatment which the colored people have had at the hands of the present board.

LOGANSPORT, Ind.-That justice and true facts as regards the political situation. Loganport be given the votes and in order to be perceived may have a full knowledge of what has been going on and "who is who" The Freeman, through its representatives, had the following corresponded to be assigned: Elder Frank Obenchain, county treasurer, defaulted in 1904, leaving a deficit of $6,000; was two bonds; the majority of the bondsmen on one bond were also on the other, thus forming the "two sets of bonds". County looked for protection against loss to its county attorney and to its board of commissioners at that time composed of Henderson Fickle, a brother David D. Fickle. R. M. Elliott, a brother of Willard Elliott, at that time a tax ferrier in Cass J. F. Grable, re-elected as a result of his attitude in the Obenchain matter and at present serving as commissioner. He is now a commissioner. David D. Fickle, at present a candidate for mayor of Logansport. He is a commissioner, through the insistence of J. F. Grable, retained Quincy A. Myers to attach and hold the property Obenchain as part payment of the federal funds. This property amounted to over $17,000, and was attached and turned over to Cass County. The bondsmen circulated a petition throughout the county offering a settlement, the terms of which were as follows: Pay Cass county $32,000 cash immediately. That Cass county take over and convert into money the Obenchain property. The amount of $25,000, be released from the bond. Attorney Albert G. Jenkins represented Cass county. the bondmen in securing a settlement, the bondsmen in securing a settlement, the Observer property to be turned over to them, but nevertheless Commissioner Fickle, brother to David D. Fickle, and Commissioner Elliott, brother to Willard D. Fickle, and Commissioner Fickle, the bondmen all the property which Quincy A. Myers had tied up and turned over to Cass county. David D. Fickle, county attorney, said nature protector who was attaching to Cass county's money was away. Quincy A. Myers advised the commissioners against making the settlement, guaranteeing to colect the full $44,000 shortage from the bondmen, but, although guaranteeing to colect the settlement, Commissioners Elliott and Fickle made it, thus losing Cass county over $22,000. At the time the settlement was made, Davide D. Fickle the county attorney, was a member of the law firm of McConnell & Fickle, composed of David/D. Fickle and When the county commissioners called on Quincy A. Myer to render his bill for the construction of a new school, David D. Flickie had, on his own account, retained his law partner, Dyer B. McConnell, as additional counsel, and received payment from the commissioners for the $816.50 Quincy A. Myers consulted with Attorney McConnell as to what portion of the fee was owing to the county division being suggested gave to D. B. McConnell $400 of the $816.50 which he received.

FORMER WORLD'S CHAMPIONS DEFEAT LEAND GIANTS The Chicago Cubs, former world's champions, defeated the Leland Giants in the first of a series of three games to decide who would win. Mordecail Brown was on the slab for the Cubs, with Ball pitching for the Lelands. The colored lads started off like they were going to scald the champs when Wallace, who had been the only player for a single, Harris sacrificed him to second. Hill came up, and the crowd prepared for big doings, because Hill is some bitter. After fouling off one and missing the ball, the Cubs were a foot too low. This seemed to take the life from the colored lads, and Payne was an easy out. Honors were even until the second, when the Cubs shoved one run across the field. Howard and assisted by Harris' error, who was over-anxious. The Lelands did nothing this time. The third proved a bad one, and two lads two-bagger over the fence. Wallace and Marshall suddenly became affected with stage fright, and pulled off some very amateurish work, especially the latter, resulting in a three-run out. Netted the Cubs three runs, Marshall was chased to the bench. Moore going to first and Green to center. The boys set and play, and played the last. The ball, the first up, singled to center.

Dudley, in his new vehicle as "Raspberry Snow," is the acme of originality from beginning to end. Mr. Dudley works on art, portraits and old-time darky in a mannequin whose sorrow sorrow with laughter. His characteristic Negro dialect is faultless, rendering him a worthy exponent for students of Ethiopian literature. Mr. Lewis, is making good as a clever straight man. He delivers his sentences in that happy-go-lucky offhand manner which is typical of the race-track habitue. In short, he is well suited to the part. Miss Ora Dumpl send her regards to her many Indianapolis friends. Miss Marie Hendricks recently resided with her relatives in the City of Homes. Miss Bessie Trible is investing her salary in "ginger pop" and exquisite perfume. Miss Jennie Hillman is one of the few wardrobe mistresses who does not try to walk over every one whose costumes she happens to take care of. Messrs. Barton and Wiswell are very well pleased with Mr. S. H. Dudley and his worthy company. The show is booked up solid, and everything points to success. Mr. Laurence Chenault, the idol of two cities, is a clever juvenile without any exception. His stage deportment is excellent, and he can use his "isms" in the most exact manner. Mrs. Jennie Pearl Larkins, as "Miss Lily Wiley," is the young lady of refinement and culture, and she part. She sings "There's a Big Crybaby in the Moon" in a manner which sends her magnetism over the footlights. While en route to Newark, last Sunday, Williams and Walker's Chocolate Drops under the management of Mr. William Barker, traveled in the same coach with the Smart Set Company. They are playing in Brooklyn this week. "Dude" Ramsey is certainly establishing a reputation as a fashion plate. On certain occasions he wears a black sack coat and a white shirt, we wear a yellow tie and yellow chamois gloves. He presents a striking figure in "The Merry Widow Brown" octet. A word of advice: In the tumult of quick changes and excitement of the stage, change is clairty with them for a little jewel, a flirt with them for a little excitement of this kind is dangerous. Return them without stopping to see how nice they are. By so doing you will gain the admiration of your friends. Miss Aline Cassell, as the dashing widow, is a picture which no artist could paint. In her dainty pink Parisian dress she impresses one as emerging from some garland-scented land of loveliness when she emerges from a handsome opera cloak of a delicate mauve. She is all pink and rosy-lined youth. Mrs. S. H. Dudley, as the sporting editor of the duplicate, duplicate. Her very presence impresses you that she is a busy woman who is in quest of some new material for a clever dress. She is properly dressed in a long automobile coat of a bright red, and wears a hat in the most picturesque manner, a light-colored vell. Her delivery shows that she is a student with no little intellect. Both the colored theatrical profession and the theater-going public are indebted to Tim Brymyn, James Burris and Chris Burris. They are the most famous of the now musical comedy, "Honor the Barber." These young men have each attained the starting point to the final performance of forty, respectively, they have acquired in their youth what many older men are still striving for, and that is unanimous recognition.

The offering at this theater this week is a radical departure from the usual sketches, as it consists of a classy little one-act in which the leading man, Lowry stars. It is the first performance the company has attempted anything as heavy as this, and the way it is being greeted is a credit to the work and energy of the producer, Owen Goffman, and the director, Pruitt and Fanny Lowry give a rough-and-tumble comedy sketch, in which all the stage bromides are played, strengthened by the addition of Mollie Robinson, a soprano singer, who is by far the best ever heard at this house. Her lines in the sketch are so lively and engaging that she gained the good will of the regular patrons. On Tuesday, October 26, the Bert Williams "Lode o' Kole" Company will be given in their honor, at which every prominent performer in the city will be present. THREE THEATERS IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA.

Friend Elwood—Just a line or two to tell you we are getting along fine in the one-nighters. The cold wave and rain have attended us for the past week, and snow, hall and blustering weather caught us good enough to attend, despite this fact, our business has reached far over the century mark every night for the last twenty-two nights, and I think that is doing fair, considering the disadvantages of standing, depending principally upon the rural patronage, etc. We are in constant receipt of new songs from the different publishing houses, and to-day we just received a fresh bunch of good stuff from the band, depending principally on rehearsing it already. On account of climatic conditions every member of the McCabe company has dug up his benjamin and in line for the wintry day parade; and is a great pleasure, when work is done, to chair by a bright, slowing fire and read THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. the professional lines in the good old FREE-MA traced by the hand of our fellow brother McCabe, you love him, ager, but a good business one, and has never been known to be one-day behind in delivering the gent in white.

Mr. Alfred Anderson has just returned from England, and he chose that will be known in vaudeville as Anderson's Unrideable Mule, Caruso. The act had its first Eastern opening at the Bumford Sisters, and the writer saw the act, at first sight his thoughts traveled back to Dudley's mule; but Caruso is a different kind of a mule, and the mule Caruso as good as anybody the writer has ever seen. Caruso is well booked up. The C. V. B. A. gatherings on Sundays are the latest innovations, and the stories told by the boys at these gatherings are the best. One of the stories one the writer attended was as follows: Jim Burris, headliner; Tom Lemonier, added attraction; Harry Brown, big feature; Bob Slater, star punster; Tom Cross, star punster; Burt Murphy—I didn't catch his stunt. The bill was well chosen, and no act collared till Jim Burris told that schoolroom story, "I Like Dat." * Miss Grace Vaughner, in her single singing and dancing speciality, is doing fine around New York.

Dining at the North Pole, dining on strawberries COOK AND STEVENS By J. D. HOWARD. Modern stagecraft is indeed indebted to Cook and Stevens for the presentation of one of the most original and unique acts in the history of theatrical art. A character seen in public this season. It was my pleasure to drop in the Grand Theater last week, and to say that this act was one of the most important and original characters are the embodiment of originality. There is no place in their work that one can accuse them of theft or copying from others. I have seen the "Chink" act by the actor of the character that caricature of the Celestial put forth by the Texas lad was the "goods", all wool and a yard wide. The act is laid out in a manner that is both realistic and dramatic. Stevens is a finished blackface comedian. He has a droll accent that emphasizes all he does. The act caused a riot at each performance during their engagement at the theater. He is quoted in quoting the following from the Star: "Sam Cook, in a comedy Chinese character impersonation, is the unique feature of the show, which is cally throughout at the Grand this week. Ordinarily the announcement of a stage Chinaman is a signal to cringe, and when he appears in the laundry it means to cringe all the harder. But Cook and his partier, Jim Stevens, who presents a Negro character that serves as the antagonist, his their sketch, "No Checke-ee. No Wash-ee," the hit of the bill, Cook, apparently, has discarded the traditional stage Chinaman studied the Chinaman from life, and then 5 has created and embellished a character true to life and, more important, to stage art. He gives to John Chinaman some little irresistible touches." THE FREEMAN AT BIRMINGHAM Every Saturday at the Veldor Cafetoria and Pantatorium, 1711 Avenue H. W. H. Joe. Manager. Boys and Girls!

Archer threw open the doors of the new colored vaudeville theater, at 51st street and 7th avenue. It is called next few weeks will run Sacred Concerts on Sundays only, when the theater will inaugurate a weekly bill of high-class colored vaudeville acts, the opening of the colored theater. New theatre visuals in the 8:30 p.m. m., the pretty little playhouse was filled with New York's colored elite and it did the writer's heart good to see the large gathering on the first night of such people in New York should feel proud to know that they now have a theater of their own, where, from time to time they can see the works of America's representative artists and a rich collection cannot be given to Carl and Mr. Archer, the managers of the Palace Hall Theater. They are both capable managers. Mr. Carl was at one time with Williams and his musical as a feature. With that aggression he has had a world of experience in the show business and his most able partner, Mr. Geo. Archer, is also a well seasoned, experienced showman, having been conferred a title for a number of years and is also the manager of several well known colored vaudeville feature acts. Both of these young men's past experience will be of great assistance in this their present venues, and will know the show business from A to Z. Mr. Frank La Motte was taking tickets when the writer arrived at the theater to see the play. He was the writer with every courtesy as the eastern representative of the FREEMAN. The opening show ran as follows: The orchestra was by New Amsterdam Musical Association, Members of orchestra: George Smith, violin; Arthur H. K. Jackson, piano; Robert Douge, clarinet; Henry Austin, cornet; John B. H. Jackson, violin. The orchestra was very good. The show was opened by Miss Mauriel Ringold, comedienne. Miss Ringold played the role of fire-suit hit Cristenling. It went very fine. She then sang "Carolina," and concluded with a dance that was a winner. Miss Ringold got to big applause. She gave the show a red-hot opening. She gave the show a Ray & Williams' musical act next act, played by several playees, comedians and several playees in the same way. Mr. Williams, the comedian of this act, is very good, and Mr. Ray is a good straight man and an excellent toller. Mr. Ray's act received a handsome bunch of flowers, tended them by the members of the company. Company, which was playing Hoboken, NJ at the time Ray and Williams received many encounters. Mr. C. Arthur Roane, billed as eccentric comedian, next appeared. Mr. Roane lives in New York and originality itself. Mr. Roane sang "Carrie, Marry, Harry." The song caught the attention of the audience, and a dance that Roane did was immense. It was so different. Roane next sang "That Wasn't All," and met with much approval. He laughed from the audience. He then did a little original training in eccentric droll way and won many good hearty laughs from the audience. He then did a little original training in self, but Leave His Wife Alone." The song was a riot. Arthur Roane is one of the best single-handed Negro comedians that the writer has seen for some time. INTERMISSION. During the short intermission the writer went up to take a look at the crowd on the balcony. It was well filled. That made the writer feel good because it stamps the first performance a financial success and interesting show and I know that that Carl Archer feel good. I saw them smiling. The Famous Black Carl, master magician, manager and all-round good fellow. Mr. Mr. Mr. and he is certainly all that the billing says and then some. He mystified as well as amused the large audience at his pretty little theater. That trunk mystery was a dazzling that and that and the glass rick was the candy. Black Carl is cleverer than ever, an artist, good fellow and deserving of success in his latest venture, manager of New York's first and only store. Miss Nettie Glen and Her Licorice Sticks was the billing of the next act, which took the house by storm. The other members' names were: Clarence Dasse (Kid), Philip Johnson (Dude), James Jones (Old Man), Fred Davis (Wench). Miss Nettie Glenn's act opened with an invisible chorus which was pretty. Mr. up Johnson next sang "Lonesome" and up Johnson next sang "Mallard" of Miss Glenn's act. The song was a big hit. Miss Glenn makes her appearance at this juncture in a red riding hood cape or red, removes same and displays a pair of red gloves, and displays does an original dance similar to the Salome, but very much different. It is her own original dance and is clever. Company dances next and that stationary dance is something new, but they are all very good dancers. The dancing won lots of applause. Miss Glen re-enters here in a pretty pink dress with a black tassel on her head and a pretty costume. She sang Tom Lemonier's "Dear Old Moonlight," and it went great. Miss Glen next enters dressed as a maidroom boy, and sang "Sugar Cane" assisted by the Licorice Sticks, of whom Mr. Fred Deserves special mention for his marvelous bass voice. This act is managed and owned by Mr. Geo, Archer, and Archer has got another hit in the THE J. EDWARD GREEN ENTERPRISES. The band wagon of the new Chester Amusement Company theatrical enterprise, the grandstand pavilion has been erected, the artificial plants, some of which have been installed, stand guarders in clamshaw stands, staiting in terror for a startling rebuff of judiciary reaction. And with the edifical fume of this theory, the new production and now enacted by J. Ed Green, the author, which includes Mr. Johnson, his backer and Marion A. Brooks, his partner, the director of the theatre, to control the vaudeville and moving picture business from Twenty-fifth to Thirty-fifth streets of the great Chicago Stroll or co-peoples' thoroughfare, known as State street. Little Chester, the first house to open, lit up with a blaze of lightning success; people were turned away; the shows were good. Green was happy and Brooks was so pleased that he has not yet recovered sufficiently enough to enjoy this newly established adventure places him at. So popular was this little theater which was named after the Bronze Chesterfield, and which has been a recent benefits given at midnight for a ball player and a performer respectively, met with such unexpected success that an actor organization now known as the "William Goats," a horrid name, was established and a series of weekly Friday evenings given at 11 p. m., were instituted.

He joined that act and is with it at present and his success is as usual, great. He likes Mr. Towel and the Majestic Trio, and from present indications is at last in the company. He is a member of the C. V. B. A. of Greater New York, and the world. This clever man has been the leader of many discouraging things to battle with, and a great colored men have to encounter, but he is, by his cleverness, climbing rung by rung up the ladder of fame. Each day he builds up the ladder of improvement. He made himself many friends among the colored artists when he appeared at the Elks' Ball at Madison Square Garden, New York City, and at the Madison Square Garden in the village performance. It is useless to say how big a hit Michael made at these two affairs. Many of the readers of THE HUEFER BOOKS are fans of him. He was at the C. V. B. A. affair that the best colored stage general and all around colored actor in America, namely Mr. Tom Loomis and his crew, and was overheard to say that Michael he sgot a great future in front of him. So you, see, dear readers, or rather you will soon see, just how near the stage he is, and how much remark will be. Dan Michael never had any idea of going on the stage until a couple of years ago. He has certainly been a successful actor, will climb faster in the next two years. He will stand watching by al who are interested in the colored artists in America. Michael is funny, naturally so, and he is a great actor. The writer discovered one day around at John Rucker's residence and he is also thinking of going into vaudeville. Don't ame. It is Dan Michael, colored comedian. grand style, and J. E. Lain rendered his own composition, "I Want a Zulu Soldier Man," in an excellent manner. The ever-popular R. G. Baker sang "My Zulu Sue" to the audience, and the encore. The Misses Palmer and Smith, as the Zulu dancers, were also well received. The performance was all that one could expect, and the would have the members of the Fulton stock company remember is that the place for performers during working hours is the Zulu theater in the audience. It would be well for the manager to look after this bad mistake. BUSINESS MAN OF RARE ABILITY.

A FEW REASONS WHY THE FREE MAN WAS, IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE, THE MOST RELI- ABLE AUTHORITY RE- GARDING COLORED ARTISTS. MUSIC IN VAUDEVILLE THEATERS A popular kick with some variety artists is continually against the music in general and should an act of this particular brand not receive as much applause as he would if it were the first thing they do is to run down the music. Now some music is very rotten, but some music is good and no music is bad to play. Sometimes it is an impossibility for the musician in a small town to ply the music that some artists put before they are ready to play. Sometimes it is a publisher's stuff and is sometimes written in a hurry and I dare say the man that wrote it would have a time reading it before he could do it. Good music is post-essential to a good act. Of course, there are times when the artist is perfectly right in kicking about his or her music. It is not always the case. I knew a juggling act with a repertoire company who played thirty-five consecutive weeks and his music wasn't right the entire thirty-five weeks. He had become a certain well known garden in New York and you say he isn't right you are unable not to get any music for your pains. The best thing to do is to try and do the best you can, after making as many proper corrections as you can, and then there are good and bad acts as well as there is good and bad music. THE COLORED ARTIST IN REPORT TOIRE AND DRAMATIC COMPANIES—PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. By BRADFORD. Repertor companies have proven one of the means of the building of a great many colored artists' reputations in the past. Many of the artists who have been a success with white dramatic organizations in the past were the public Eldridge, Fowler, and found favor while he published Derby, Nerber and who was an actor of no mean ability, having been cast for one of the most important roles of that organization. He was also joined by the Reilly and Woods Co. of Burleson. He was also with several colored shows, but the good old dramatic show was one of the stepping stones to his later great success. He's more famous for the early performers to find favor in the dramatic realm was Mr. Burt Grant, who for several seasons, played with the Larry Lewis. He's now Kentucky. He know Burt Grant and know what his name in vaudville has been. Again, I say, those were happy people. He's now in liony Brooks, Brooks and Halliday, also built considerable of their marvelous reputation while traveling with Geo. M. Felnin, and with the versatile colored pair, possibly played the longest on record with a white reper- AT THE FAMILY THEATER A sterling set of fellows, known as the "Real Quartette," showed at the Family Reunion. The Real Quartette is good. None of them novices in the business, being so thoroughly on to their job that they were good interviewers. Unique would be a suitable term of distinction for the Real Quartette. From the beginning to the end of their act there were no changes in costume; they might have "dropped in" from the ordinary, unexaggerated looking Negroes, no of whom were supposed to be women. The "Real" folk seem to go on the theory of the late Henry Irving that the academy would show by any means. They give the apperception indifference—utter abandon—that had a telling effect on the audience. To say they were loose and careless perhaps strikes it out with the audience enjoyed the common-looking countryside group began by singing a well-known plantation melody behind the curtains, and with good effect, creating a welcoming in-room atmosphere. The audience had been cold it would have a felicitous mood by the time the team showed up. Experience, no doubt, has taught them to make sure, since a cold is detractor, and it is possible at any time. The quartette did some joking which took. But it was its horse play sand-and-sweep songs and the singing which counted most, to 10, again, and as a whole, "Quartette De Grotesque" would have been an extremely fitter, the bunch. At times the members were annealed. At games boards that had a terrific sound when they belabored one another. Persons with the blues soon found themselves relieved by the jollity and hilarity of the fun makers. The singing improved song by song. It seem to be the law of vaudelle performers to begin a little slow, improving graduality, and to increase the de resistance. And sure enough, the "piece de resistance" came at the finish with the Real Quartette. The calliope is a four instrument, one to the indipendent field, one to the taken in the tones of the piano, or a cornet, or any instrument where there is a similarity of sound. There is no similarity of sound with the calliope. No show presentation, no performance, no instrument of a few notes. The excursion boats on the big waterways have, as a rule, the instrument of the musical whoop. So when its familiar tones are played, the calliope is the great commoner of instruments is on deck. The quartette gave this inimitable imitation of the calliope; it was faithful; it was good. And the house came down. The calliope was the most commoner they repeat at the little show house, but the calliope singers had to respond to "the call of the wild," if you please, for that is what it was. The commander of the "Real Quartette" is noteworthy. Either of the men have had considerable experience. George L. Conley is the business manager; he is also first tenor. He has seen service abroad; he has been a member of a Minstrel. As a tenor he makes good. Spot A. Ware, the second tenor, has had varied experience: he was formerly of the lingerie Singers, also of the ling Concert Company, and of the Fountain City and Eclipse Quartette companies. Mr. Ware was star in the Swanace River Company—has done the country from coast to coast. Burnie Price was at one time a member of the Georgia Camp Meeting Company, gained reputation as the boy basso. His performance was a great edian like. He contributes greatly to the fun as the young woman of the group. The quartette has a splendid record for the year, opening at the Majestic in Cincinnati, and for the eighth consecutive week's engagement. In the last three and one-half years it has lost but twenty-one days. In that time only one change has been made in the company for the better, according to information. | SPORTING GOSSIP of the WEEK 2 a RTING NOTES. merit felendly thoughts of him.

SOME SPORTING COMMENT. By Cuanuss D. Manswan, THE DEFEAT OF WESTERN UNIVERSITY. No doubt there was some good-sized comment niade in football circles in the Western country last week, when the ¥. M,C. A. squad of Kansas City, Mo., met and defeated the famous Western University eleven of Quindaro. Kan., in what many sald was apparently a one- Sided ‘engagement. Tt seems that “the ball was kept in the territory of the W. WU. team at all times, which caused them to punt repeatedly.” Also our corre- spondent states that the Y. M,C. A. played in and around thelr opponents” line At will, Just played old nick with the grand old W. U. time-honored firing line until they had captured the score by points In favor, being 9 to 0. Of course the Y. M. C. A. team had as much right winnlig the game, as the best team should do, but from the very fact that the W. U. has always been a terrible foe to enedun: ter on 2 Eridiron, and has seldom given up unt some: Kind of a score was. se- cored, leaves us wondering it she is play- ing in her old-time form or not. ‘They say that Mr. F. A. Harris, who is man- ager of the ¥ MG. A. bunch, is a fellow who is cleverly talented when’ it comes to Organizing strong football teams, and that gan account for the splendid showing of thelr opening game. Of late I have no- ticed that the playing of the teams of our best, known schools and colleges in this particular game has not been up to the Standard that many of us expect. ‘Truth- fully saying, they have been playing, the game in a very poor way. Generally it is our little second or third class teams that defeat them, and by overwhelming odds. Out of about a dozen or more big col- leges, industrial schools, ete., T can count about two or three who really play the game in a manner up to the standing with the reputation they have gained, in other ways. Now, there is Nashville, that plays each succeeding season more and more to the liking as well as up to its position or elass. Do you notice how tm- portant a matter it Is with Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Hanover or any other of the large Institutions of the country when it comes to their standing in athletic doings? ‘They. are ever anxious about improving on thelr records in each line of sport. ‘Although it ig not fitting that our schools should now give all their attention to foot- ball, vet T think it is essential that they should become a little more interested in athleties than they are, because it does so much toward. strengthening your every Roar for the foture ordeain vr ite, ‘BOOK WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD ea “Cain's Wite, What and Who."

Kejchel swore he would force the cham- pion to lead. He did so on occasions, for that matter, but the pity of It was ‘that when Johnson led he reached something. For about six rounds Johnson relied mainly on a straight left, and bleeding lips and blood-smeared face soon bore testimony to the accuracy of his aim. Ketchel pinned him facte on a left under swing for the snort ribs. eH got there, foo. a fe wtimes, but the scoring was light compared to the yolume of misses. Zn the clinch fighting again Ketchei discovered that Johnson knows more in one round than the average fighter learns in a career. Without actually taking a grip of a hand or arm, Jolmson placed his gloves against Ketchel's biceps or shoulders and used pressure which ren- dered Ketchel as helpless as though he Were tied with ropes. Ketchel asa rule is away above the average at clinch-fighting, but today he was powerless. He wasn't pinioned ex- actly, and yet he couldn't free his fght- machinery. and ai! tie time Johnson was looking down into the little man's face and chuckling derisively. ‘There were other things about those clinches. ‘They gave an’ idea. of Johnson's immense Strength as well. Several times he liftea Ketehel playfully off his feet and sluns him around, Once when Ketchel's legs became entangled when the men were grappling, Johnson picked Ketchel up with one'arm and placed him squarely on his feet. Johnson | hax always assured his friends that Jeffries’ strength has no ter- rors for him. After watchin the cham- pion closely in his recent fight, it seems to me even big-framed Jeffries will not be able to take any liberties with the ebony-hued Johnson when they lock arms and begin to pull and haul. ‘Those Last Three Rounds. Most important of the whole battJe was thoge last three rounds. ‘They proved to be the most startling that was ever witnessed by the public in the history of the ring, The trend of the fight was changed wonderfully, both fighters seem- ing to take on new tactics that were widely different from the other nine. ‘The feht attracted the greatest crowd in years. “Over 10,000 persons were ranked about the walls and overflowed the seats. Fully 8,000 were turned away, Promoter Coffroth’ stated after the fight that $40,000 had been taken in. ‘TENTH ROUND—Johnson was short with a straight left and they clinched. Johnson smuggled in a left body blow. They broke away and Johnson sent in two straight lefts for the stomach and several lefts on the mouth and nose. Johnson seemed to be keeping his right uppercut in reserve again. In a scuf- fling match Ketchel seemed to be stum- bled, but Johnson steadied him and lift- ed him off his feet with one arm, John- son stood still and straightened his left every few seconds, bringing blood from Ketchel’s mouth. ‘Johnson sent Ketchet reeling with @ left hook on. the neck, Johnson drew back from a left swing and’ then rushed Ketchel to the ropes. putting in ‘a punishing left on the stom- Ach. Up to this round Johnson seemed to be under wraps. ELEVENTH ROUND—Johnson sent in a straight and used the right uppercut ina clineh. Ketehel led with a right, whieh Was short, to the chin. Johnson put in two straight lefts and drew back from a left swing. In a clinch Johnson used the right uppercut repeatedly, but did not seem to put much force in, the punch, Ketehel's head went back from A straight left, Ketehel tried a right up- pereut, which reached Johnson back of the head. Johnson then loosened up, driving Ketchel across the ring with rights and lefts, Ketchel tried twice with left uppercuts to the chin. John- Son then began swinging his left into the pody and scored repeatedly, ‘TWELFTH ROUND—Ketchel, sudden- ly rushing in, sent his right to the jaw. Te struck the champion on the jaw and the big Negro fell lat upon hig back and seemed to have Injured himself. Ketchet Fushed right at him, but the tricky cham- pion was waiting for him, He swung a hard right to the jaw, and quick as @ flash ‘shot a left to te body. | As Ketenel fell backward Johnson sent in another right to the face and the white man went to the mat as if shot, where he lay prone, with blood streaming from his mouth. "He made a weak effort to arise, but fell back again and was count: ed out. ‘Some say that Johnson led Ketchel into a trap by pretending to be knocked down, and then caught the latter when he rushed in. J.Johnson, when asked at- ter the fight, said: “He hit me behind the ear and felled me fairly. “It was a hard crack. I had him all the time, but-he is a dangerous fellow and can strike a fearful punch.” Just Why Johnson Won. Jack Johnson has removed the doubts in the minds of the sporting people of the world as to whether he can deliver a Amock-out ‘blow ‘or not. He has. shown ‘UP BS Strong evidence of the fact that he has”'the Spuneh in. being’ vietorious in the Ketehel-Johnson battle. Was not the world very much startied at the cleverness displayed in this battle, espe- cially at that surprise he so cleverly gave Ketchel in the twelfth round, when he pretended that he had been put to the floor, out and down bya right on the Jaw, and "then suddenly “arising” and Swinging a hard right to the jaw and as sautick as a flash a left to, the body, and as Ketehel falls backward he sends in another right to the face and It is alt over Ina minute. Tt was done quick and easy because he waited for his chance and took advantage of It when he got it But. in the first place, Johnson was really too powerful for a man like Ketehel, and, as I have said, he is _most too clever. Not in many years have we had a champion like Johnson who is ‘at the “top round, both in Selence and strength, He has proven himself to be a fighter of unusual merit. His recent ‘victory shows him fitting’ to hold. the Lille for some little while to come. There ing the minds of the sport writers con- cerning Johnson since the battle at Col- ma. It’ seems that uppermost in his mind would be that Johnson has been playing a great deal before the public of late. In his fights ‘with Kaufman or O'Brien he never showed his real pow- ers as a pugilist, but rather held them hack, possibly for the opportunity of displaying them, if ever the chance might come, before Jim Jeffries, but Ketehel being touted xo greatly as “the best In the country,” Jed him to come out of his cover with the real goods and When he did come out there was mucn doing. \ What Will Jeffries Do? Is it possib elht aJteffries means to Aight or to. fake along. Johnson's show- ing with ‘Ketchel might shaken’ things greatly, but the public grows a deal more eaxer to seen matell elinched. be- tween the two giants. Of course, Jeff- ries has been doing a wonderful amount of four flushing, but I think he has about let up and will shortly go in for business, ‘This'is to be the match of matehes and will end up'a large amount of arsument for all ume. Coffroth to See Jeffries. Jimmy Coftroth, who promoted the tight between Jack’ Johnson and Stanley Ketchel, will be the first man to have a talk with Jim Jeffries when the latter arrives in’ this’ country from Europe Jim set sail on Saturday last, and will be in New York not later than next Sun. day. Coffroth is coming East with the fight flims, and will see Jeff in Hopes that he can get the big fetiow to consent to fight in Frisco and no other place. In this conection it may be interest: ing to note that Tommy Burns, who was beaten by Johnson in 14 rounds at Syd- ney, Australia, last December, will alsc return to America shortly. Burns has made a mint of money touring Australia and New Zealand, and now that there. Is no longer any chance to get big pay for his ezhibitions he has concluded to come back to America. From what ‘can be gleaned from friends of Tommy he is coming home to meet Jack Johnson, if possible. Burns has not vet got over the sock he re- ceived when Johnson beat him, and thinks if he Is given another chance he can show the darky that winning the title in Australia was the result of a fluke. Burns has severed his relations with Hugh Mcintosh, who has always heen on friendly terms with him, and it is thought that this has something to do with Tommy's determination to come back to the land of the free. Burns blames McIntosh for allowing the police to stop the Johnson fight after Johnsor had knocked him down and was beating him up badly. Tommy says that he has often been knocked down a half dozen times in a fight, and, instead of weak: ening him, this sort of treatment always made him fight all the harder, and in nearly every instance he wont out. Cost of Seats at Fight. A comparison of the scale of prices as announced by Coffroth for the Johnson- Ketchel contest and the _membershiy dues that had been decided upon for the defunct Ketchel-Langford bout will give a@ pretty fair idea of what New Yorkers will pay to see a contest if you show them something they think looks good to them, For Johnson and Ketchel the seale said: eGneral admission, $2; main door seats, $3 and $5; box and ringside seats, $10. “The dues for Ketchel and Langford, with an advance membership reservation of nearly $24,000 three days before the contest were: Bleachers, $10; pavilion, $20; box and ringside seats $30. For the 10 rounds, without a de- cision, it is generally conceded the two middleweights would have drawn in dues in excess of $35,000. Quite a bunch for a limited-round no-decision affair. ee eee HOOSIER POET club Room Londres, 10 Cent Cigar.

SMYTHE ASTOUNDS HIS HEARERS Peculiar Sermon Subjects Attracts Large Crowds. The Rev. Theobald A. Smythe, D. D., the new pastor of Bethel A. M. E.

In fact, a greater number of those present were religiously strengthened by the presence of the Rev. T. A. Smythe, spirit displayed by the Rev. Smythe. It was also noticed that a larger attendance put in an appearance last Sunday night than had been seen at evening services in Jamaica, and he was educated in Boston University and McGill University, of Montreal, Canada.

In a meeting of some of the members of the School Board and a delegation of colored ministers, held the Zion Baptist Church in Twelfth Street, last Monday afternoon, the idea of how to keep children in school after they have reached the age of fourteen, the question of keeping children in school after they reach the age of fourteen is one that has been troublesome to the school board to white and colored children. The board will work on the point of solving the problem in a satisfactory manner, by more extensive vocational training, which gives the children the skills they need to live a livelihood before leaving school. At the same time the training is said to induce parents to leave children in school longer, and to help the school ministers, together with a little history of the vocational training movement. Ten years ago, it was said, the board spent $40,000 in work; this year the work will cost $40,000. Children are taught woodworking, sewing and cooking in a number of schools, many of which are part of the colored schools. Some of the ministers were of the opinion that it was better for a girl to earn a diploma by learning to make her own graduation dress than to wear a uniform. The logical Path of Life, or some kindred topic. The board also explained that the opening of School No. 17, Eleventh and North Schools, was the purpose of extending vocational training. This school was formerly a school for white children, but is now attended by many colored pupils, taken from the seventh and eighth grades of other district schools. AGENTS WANTED.
