Bundy in the City on Business in State Department—Speech of Hon. E. L. Taylor in Pamphlet Form. Thompson's National Center for Washington, D.C., March 16.—The Washington C. C., March 16.—The Johnson, of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, to be Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, was confirmed by the Senate on Monday. He is the first of May. Mr. Johnson's hearty and whole-souled manner and courteous bearing upon all widespread popularity among the real people of Washington, and it can be predicted with safety that his administration will be in every way a brilliant success. His city of cityness and will probably avoid the limelight until he comes on to assume the roles of office. Until he takes hold at touching probable changes in the personnel of the clerical force. Mr. Dancy leaves a strong, reliable staff of assistants, and it is not likely that Mr. Johnson present at least. Plans are already on foot to give the new Recorder a monster banquet—to be the biggest, the most affluent, the kinder pulled off in this city, it is said that the "plain people"—of whom Mr. Johnson proudly claims to be—will have a larger showing than the usual social functions are "pulled off." The details are as yet in a formative state, and it is too soon to give out the particulars from the determined hand in the management of the "to do," there will be a distinct departure from the much critiqued "close corporation" method of a semi-numeric number. "Who a man invites to his home is a matter of which he is to be the sole judge, and no one can quarrel with him in a situation of disaffection salutary to himself and his family; but, in the case of a popular dinner, tendered a public official as a tribute to the esteem in which he is held by the people among whom he is a servant, may be properly allowed in the selection of the persons to be invited. Size of salary, grade of employment in the government or any other service, partisan affiliation, or educational systems and consideration of his social alliances may well be left in the background. If he is of acceptable character and stands for good citizenship he is willing to pay the subscription fee should be regarded as eligible to attend a banquet in honor of a distinguished servant. Washington should pray to be delivered from it. It the tendency shown in some quarters to cater to a snoblish idea that official position and salary necessarily fix education, culture, character and capacity for usefulness to the community." The best testimony as to what a man is and what he stands for is that given by him, and what he stands for is that given by him, among whom he has gone in and out from boyhood up to manhood. Reply to an insulation that Col. Henry Colin calls "the colored aristocracy" of the nation's capital, the Atlanta Independent, the representative people of Georgia, has this report. Mr. Richard C. Bundy, of Cincinnati, who stood seventh on the list of eligibles appointment as a United States Consul to Washington a few days ago to look into the matter, said he parted as it was his turn next to receive an assignment in the foreign services to one reason or another, there seemed to be one reason he knew the authorities that he accept the position. of Secretary of Legation at Monrovia, Liberia, a place which, it is said, will soon be vacant. Mr. Bundy at first declined to accept the offer, and deferred his final statement until could give the matter a thorough consideration. As his consular examination did not carry eligibility for the new place in Liberia, he declined to suggest of the department and took the examination prescribed for secretaries of legation, and it is said his rating is high. He has returned to Wilberforce Uni- As the story goes, Mr. Bundy preferred to await a vacancy in the consular service, but it was pointed out to him that the next vacancy and the next after that the next vacancy, he would be appointed for which he would not be available, and he would suffer loss in consequence thereof. At Liberia, however, he would be perfectly acceptable, and the secretary-general in every way than any of the consular places likely to be vacant for some time. Friends suggested that he might be in line eventually for Minister at Monrovia, and the future held bright possibilities for him. He would wish the wish of the State Department. If he did not oblige the authorities now, the authorities might not feel called upon to oblige him when he looked for advancement. He has about made up his mind to believe he has about made up his mind to oblige the Liberian post, and that a definite answer will be forthcoming as soon as he has had a heart-to-heart talk with his father, who is an influential leader in Oceania. It will be recalled that this same Bundy was named for a cadet ship in the Annapolis Naval Academy by Congressman Shattuck about thirteen years ago. He was "euchered" out of it by the means usually applied when a Negro is considered for an appointment where he is not socially acceptable. The designation of Mr. Bundy for Secretary-general at Monrovia means the retirement of Mr. George W. Ellis, of Kansas, who has been there for several years. The Washington correspondent of the New York Age "jumps on" Postmaster-Gen. Eric Hitchcock in its current issue and charm with the motion of "lily-wishment," and the direction of the national administration in harmony with the Southern policy of elimination and charm, the rage. The editorial page of the Age is mild in comparison with the insurgent "leader" of the previous week. The Age is mild in comparison with the thing by the Negro if given time, reminding its constituents that the present administration is but a little over a year old. The President's appearance and speech at the President's appearance and speech at the Wilberforce meeting seems to have had a mollyfying effect upon the so-called inpatient appointments to office have whetted their appetite for the loaves and fishes and increased their anxiety for a continuance of pleccutting at the counter. Being played stiffly these parts now, and some interesting developments are again promised. Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., who is gaining an international reputation as an educator and philanthropist, was in the city last Friday, en route to New York to deliver an address in the interest of his great National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race. This enterprise, which is being supported by the support of the best people of both races of the South, and it promises golden results to the young men and women who must take their places as trained educators, is evident in the Shepard has high expectations for the merchant school that is to open in July. The faculty that has been engaged embraces the finest educational talent in the councils and is evident in the attendance will be large and thoroughly engaged. Dr. Shepard is a young man who is making his way by sheer pluck, and it is gratifying to note the strong forces standing and influencing the co-operation of such high-grade colored business men as John Merrick. Dr. A. M. Moore, of Durham, and such an individual, established it with the Greenbsboro, established it on a Gibbartarlike basis among the Negroes of the country. Dr. L. G.

LOTTIE GRADY MAKES HIT WITH LOUISVILLE PEOPLE IN SMART SET COMPANY Death of Prof. James E. Givens Hon. Albert S. White Has Returned from Washington—Notes of Interest. (By CARY B. LEWIS.) Special to The Freeman: Louisville, Ky., March 16.—Miss Lottie Grady, the brilliant young actress of the Pekin Theater, Chicago, was seen in this chapter latter part of the book in the Smart Sack, playing the part of Miss Lilly White. It was the second time that Miss Grady has been seen in this city, she appearing the first time as "Mysteria," the splendid opportunity to nudge her into the role which was evidently written for the book. She did her work well and with good taste, and, considering that she had the part on our days here with only two occasions, she was a splendid season will crown her work with success. Miss Grady si no novice. Study, training and experience have placed her in the spotlight. She is a clever dancer, funny and very artistic when singing before such a splendid chorus as that of the "Smart Set." Miss Grady was induced to take to the stage by the late J. Ed Green, who became her instructor. It n't a large measure accounts for her success. She joned the Pekin Stock Company at the time of her graduation, worked hard and faithfully for two years. She saw a brilliant future and was benefited by being well drilled. Later she became the leading lady in the stock company, and she followed taking the lead role. This will follow in the two companies—Lottie Grady, the headliner. "My Nephew Wife" was the name of the show that made the htl n Chicago the most successful company, the well known military play, and Miss Grady took the part of the Filippino girl. Miss Grady went East with this company. This will follow in the two companies of Koal' company and took the part of "Mysteria, the Fortune Teller." Press reports from this young woman's acting were very favorable, and she remained in the company until it closed a few weeks ago. With the leaving of Mrs. Jennie Pearl Larkins of the "Smart Set," Miss Grady took her place, and Mr. Dudley stated to her that she had been the Grady's conception of the part and agreeably pleased with the manner in which she is acting. Miss Grady to be ambitious. She is a student of the stage. She reads theatrical magazines. She realizes the possibilities of an actress such as Mrs. Alda Overton Walker. While the Pekin and woman who are now in colored shows and are being employed by the various vaudeville circuits, Miss Grady is one among the most admired. She is winsome, and she is the most of the traits of character portrayed while taking the part of "Miss Lilly White" in the "Smart Set." She is unable to learn of Miss Grady's future or her contract for the next season, but whatever company she joins, her youth, brightness and theatrical versatility will no doubt place her as a ballerina. The management of the local theater and the work of Miss Grady, and we wish her continued success. While here she was the guest of Mrs. Grady, the management of the local theater and the work of Miss Grady, and we wish her continued success. Several of her acquaintances were at the train to see her off the night the show left for Wheeling, W. Va. Prof. James E.

It not only admonish to die, but is emphatic in teaching him how to condition in this life by self-help, thrift, indust the principles of honesty. WAY WHICH OTHERS ARE FOLLOWING—ads of men and women have remained out of This Order was organized in 1882 by Negroes, and its founders take pride in heralding the fact that not one line of its secret works, written or unwritten, were stolen from any white man's order; but is wholly the product of Negro brains. It not only admonishes the Negro to prepare to die, but is emphatic in teaching him how to live and improve his condition in this life by self-help, thrift, industry and living up to the true principles of honesty. BLAZED A WAY WHICH OTHERS ARE FOLLOWING—NEW IDEAS Thousands of men and women have remained out of Fraternal Orders because they objected to the time-worn custom of marching under flying banners and streaming Regalia, also the practice of doing naught but looking after the sick and burying the dead. The Mosaic Templars of America adopted a simple badge (2x6 inches) as its regalia, and was the first Fraternal institution in the United States to introduce the Endowment feature. It has been adopted by all of the leading Fraternal Orders in the world. OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION IS OUR BED-ROCK OF STRENGTH— DON'T OWE A DOLLAR By careful and conservative business methods we place our financial condition where it cannot be shaken. Through our Endowment Department we have paid out to widows and orphans nearly a half-million dollars. All of our claims are paid to date, and we pay them as soon as they are filed in this office—there is no delaying or waiting, for we have got the money. We never allow our reserve fund to fall below 1 per cent. of the value of policies in force. Insurance Experts have figured this out as a safe margin, and we strictly adhere to it. Deputies can reap a rich harvest setting up Mosaic Lodges. For instance, a Deputy sets up a Lodge of thirty members at $3.50 each; that is $105.00. His Charter will cost him $15.00 and the Policy for each member 75c, which would amount to $22.50, leaving the Deputy a clear profit of $67.50 on one Lodge. A Deputy of ordinary ability should set up two Lodges per month; a wide-awake hustling Deputy should set up four or five. If you are not a member of the Mosaic Templars of America, join at once. If there is not a Lodge in your community, write to headquarters and we will send somebody to organize one. We have 25,000 members scattered over the United States. Women enjoy the same rights, benefits and privileges as the men. We are helping these thousands and will help you if you will only embrace the opportunity that we are holding forth. W. M.

Oh happy youth before whose foot The pathway lies both straight and fair, How little dost thou really know Of days and nights o'er rough with care. Thy dreams are sweet, thy thoughts doth make A picture of those coming years. Where joys and smiles forever dwell, And life is heavy with its load, Years have held, the eyes have not seen. The ceaseless flow of time goes on— For young and old alike, I mean, And life is heavy with its load, Years have held, the eyes have not seen. The brow is furrowed with many a line, The heart grows dull with pain and grief. And death at last with kindly hand, Draws the curtain and brings relief. Joyfully BANQUET FOR POLAR STAR LODGE, K. OF P. CINCINNATI, O.—Special—Polar Star Lodge. No. 27, and Military Rank, Company B, K of P, N, A, S. A. E, A. A. and A. A. night, February 28, 1910, by their beloved Col. 408 E. G. Gaither, at his reception hall, 408 West Fifth street, this city. This is the second affair of this nature extended to the organization's beloved colonel, and no pains were spared to make the event the greatest of the organization's history. The entire lodge was present, and in dress regalia, while the rank was attired in military garaphernalia. Music was furnished by the Second Battalion Band, assisted by an orchestra of stringed instruments. Captain Sneed offered limited assistance to be the direct conductor. After fond reminiscences of victories, Captain Sneed gave his company a short talk on how he had set himself to accomplish his military maneuvers and to reach the goal of winning the battle. He told of how by hard work and stick-to-tiveness he had made his company the best drilled men in the world to-day, which was a shining example of what labor and overcome. He was given much praise and the band played a stirring selection. Sir Knight Johnson was the next member to speak, and he said: "Officers and rights are the same, and we have the treasure of being participants in this feast which is being tendered us by our worthy colonel, and while he is not a drilled man in the ranks, he is more than a drilled man, and he is nevolence and hospitality." He told the brothers that they should be proud to know that they have a Rockefeller of their own, and that they have brought the house down with applause, and three cheers for Gaither, etc. Mr. Johnson's recital was followed by a selection from the orchestra, which was a great success, and the Sunace, Dixie and My Maryland, etc. Colonel Gaither was the next speaker, and he was given a great ovation upon presentation. Mr. Gaither said: "Officers, Sir Knights and Brothers, you must not expect much from me just here, but in relation to the topic I would say that this is one of the happiest moments of my life. I am always glad and ready to thank you for this. It fills me with exceeding and exquisite pleasure to be able to extend to you this hospitality. Calling attention to the victories of Company B. I am compelled to thank you for this. I have always directed to Sneed directly, and to the men who have so gallantly supported him indirectly; and here I must say that I don't believe that the Captain holds anything dearer to himself than he does this organization (which is a great pleasure to be aware of all this). I have always made it a point as my special duty to support him, giving him the assurance that money was a secondary matter when he wanted to take care of the children. You can all see how much I think of the company by what has been done and by what is being done now. I take pleasure in bestowing all the honor upon Capt. W. Sneed. Colonel Gaither was given more praise than the jury took one more little drink for him. During the intermission which followed Colonel Gaither's warm and brotherly talk the guests proceeded to consume the many desserts that he had prepared; there seemed to be an endless amount of eat, drink and smoke—things good to eat and wine flowed as freely as does water. The guests were so eager to put it on—and he did. He, in the words of Caesar, "came, saw, and conquered," and set the house in an uproar of delight. Alexander the Great, had conquered the world, and to show that his people are invincible he called attention to the victories of his army, and to honorary remarks for Colonel Gaither and Captain Sneed—and the band played on. Other members had much to say. Some of them were H. L. Davis, H. Hendricks and Hon. H. Kassam who accompanied the press to Kassam City, H. G. W. Henderson represented Toussaint L'Overture No. 7, of Knoxville, Tenn. Souvenirs were given as a memento of the occasion, after which Mrs. W. T. Sweeney, the wife of the president, marks, and as she wore the royal colors she reminded those who beheld her of the Daughter of the Regiment. Her talk was a good one, and filled the audience with laughter, as very much to the delight of her husband. This memorable banquet closed with a chorus by the participants, "Auld Lang Syne" and a "Bless Be the Tie that Birds", and a prayer by the priest. GO. HENDERSON. BOWLING GREEN, KY. Special thanks to G. A. Jenkins, a most beloved citizen and teacher, departed this life last Tuesday morning. He was a good husband and father, and a man who Negro youth of this town should emulate. His funeral was held Thursday at the C. P. Church of which he was a member. He was conducted by Dr. C. P. McLurkin. The house was crowded, there being hardly any room. Mr. C. P. McLurkin, W. B.

The preparations that are going on for the taking of the census under the direction of Director of Census Durand can hardly fail to make that of 1910 the most efficient and thorough that has ever been attempted by the federal authorities in all the history of census taking in this country. Director Durand is thoroughly in earnest in the desire to know and to get the facts to show the true number of people in the United States and its possessions, and has gone about the herculean task like a Hercules, in grasp of the situation before him and in the ability to meet and handle it properly for the accomplishment of the objects of the enumeration. Not only is there an earnest desire to get the true number of people as a whole, but the true number of white people, the true number of people of color, whether mulatto, octoroon, grife or black, in the United States and its possessions. Director Durand is especially deeply interested in the facts respecting the amount and values of the properties, whether real estate, personal effects, investment in tenancy, shares in the tenantry of farms of every man, woman or minor child in the jurisdiction of the United States, whether the value of the same be one dollar or one hundred million dollars. The colored people of the United States have a great deal more in all kinds of property, personal and realty, than the census of ten years ago accrets them with, and the census of 1910 will show it, if they will only give the census-taker all the facts when he calls on them for the facts. The only one to lose by the concealment of facts is the on whom the facts concern, and the only one to gain by the giving out of the facts is the one who gives them. The information given to the United States census-taker is not at all for taxation purposes, and will not be used for such purposes, either by the United States, the State, the parish or county, or the ward authorities; hence there is absolutely no reason why any one should not give all the information asked for by the census man when he calls for it. Therefore, let there be no concealment of facts on the part of any colored person in this country. The colored race has had virtually only forty-six years in which to make a showing as a race in the increase of its number, in the acquirement of property and wealth, and in the acquisition of knowledge and education. The number of colored people in the United States, the value of property and wealth they have acquired, the progress they have made in gaining knowledge and in acquiring education in the past forty-six years, which the full and true census will give, are matters of the very first importance to the race which must not by any failure of its members to duly appreciate be in any way neglected or overlooked. The showing made will have very much to do with the standing of the colored people as a factor or element of the population of the United States, and in the several communities in which they live, and there is no disputing that the race can, if the proper interest on the part of the colored people is taken, make such a fine showing as that the standing of the race will be advanced very materially, possibly 50 per cent., for instance, in Louisiana. No one will deny that the race needs all the strength that it can get out of a fine showing in numbers, wealth and education; therefore, as the opportunity is offered to make this showing, let no one neglect it, and let all remember to make the proper use of it, and thereby advance the cause of the race and the benefits that must follow the advancement.

For this contest all communications bearing on it must be addressed to the managing editor, George L. Knox. Get busy! The great dailies of the country are discussing such subjects as Secretary Ballinger's ordeal and his terse remark, "I shall not reply through the press to the mendacious aspersions which Mr. Pinchot seeks to cast upon me." President Taft's ordeal and a year in the White House with little done, etc. Ex-President Roosevelt's triumphal march out of the jungles, his meeting the family at Khartum; thousands cheer. The great American trusts, etc. Locally, our dailies are discussing the return of Ex-Vice President Fairbanks and the proposed grand public reception to him, with the Negro left out, although once the Vice President had need for the Negro citizen. Mayor Shank insists on forgetting his brother in black to whom he so fervently appealed and promised last September. There is much talk about the John D. Rockefeller Foundation Fund, a bill for the incorporation of which was recently introduced in the United States Senate by Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire, its object is stated as being: "To promote the well being and ad vance the civilization of the peoples of the United States and its territories and possessions and of foreign lands, in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge, in the prevention of suffering and in the promotion of any and all the elements of human progress." The incorporators are, John D. Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Fred T. Gates, Starr J. Murphy and Chas O. Heydt. The principal office is to be in the District of Columbia. We shall see! What we shall see! Dr. W. E. B. Duboise will grow stronger in popular appreciation with the people of the United States and the world at large if he does not commit the error made by so many of our would-be leaders of less educational acquisition than himself, that of talking down some one else a little bigger than themselves in order to take a more conspicuous rank, as "a better than thou, those or that." That is a vain, delusive position and will do neither Dr. Duboise or any one else any good. He must not stoop so low. Our greatest leader and educator sets an admirable example in that direction, for he always finds interesting and instructive matter appertaining to the race and the public in general to say without once resorting to personalities or a show of spleen or animus toward any person or persons, white or black. Like Nehemiah of old he says: "I am about a great work and cannot come down." We trust, therefore, that there will be no estrangement between Dr. Duboise and Dr. Booker T. Washington. Both represent ideals that are genuine for the uplift and advance of the race and for the history in the making by the race. Honi-soit qui-mal-y-pense, with apologies to Dr. Duboise. Some of our leading race newspapers are discussing the recent change of attitude of the New York Age towards the Taft administration and its prediction concerning the coming elections if the President don't soon give more and better appreciation to the voting Negroes in the states of the North and West where his vote is counted as cast. We think the elation over the Age unwanted, for proof look at editorsials in issue of March 10. The Age and all our three hundred or more newpapers ought to join us in roundly denouncing Taft's Negro policies, which if not stopped will work untold injury to the race all over the world, including every state in the Union. We are emphatically against Negro race demoralization degradation, and elimination! To the shades of Hades with the whole rotten thing. Our slogan is "All men up," "An open door of opportunity for all." Others of our newspapers are discussing the approaching sessions of the Negro Business League and the National Women's Confederation, the latter holding at Louisville in early summer. Very few are discussing ways and means of assisting on the proposed National Semi-Centennial Negro Exposition, a subject worthy of the widest circulation and discussion. We appeal to the race patriotism and pride for further presentation of this good cause. WORK AMONG COLORED PEOPLE A. H. Godard, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., said, with a population of over 40,000 colored people, there was but one organization, the Flanner Guild, outside of the colored Y. M. C. A., that was doing anything like a systematized work among the colored people. A GROWING ORDER. If push and work will make an institution succeed, the Mosaic Templars of America will soon be in the forefront. Hon. J. E. Bush and Wm. Alexander are pushing the order for all it is worth. Recently the order organized the Uniform Rank, or military department, and thousands of young men throughout the country are rushing into the order from the attraction of this feature. Their reports to the Insurance Department of Arkansas show that 5,000 new members were added to the order during the year 1909. Some weeks ago an advertisement was inserted in The Freeman setting forth the many benefits and advantages of the order, and now the National Headquarters and officers are being deluged with inquiries from people who want to join the order or work as organizers. Letters have come from as far North as Saugatuck, Mich., and as far South as Pensacola, Fla. The slogan for 1910 is 10,000 members. It may appear to be a big job, but the right men are on it. INDISPUTABLE. MR. TAFT'S INJUSTICE TO HIM SELF. (New York World) On the 22d of September, 1908, Mr. Taft, then a candidate, said at Chicago: The revision of the tariff which Republicans desire is a revision which shall reduce excessive rates and at the same time preserve the industries of the country. I wish there to be no doubt in respect to the tariff. I have always been thankful that On the 16th of December, 1908, Mr. Taft, then President-elect, said in New York: Unless we not in accordance with our promises * * * we shall be made accountable to the American people and suffer such consequences as failure to keep the tariff, we always have a chance that would be better to have no revision at all unless we are going honestly and fairly to revise the tariff on the basis promised by our party. On the 30th of June, 1909, Mr. Taft, then President of the United States, said in New Haven: Now I venture to say that if the Republican party does not live up to its promises, and what the people expect on it, it will be relegated to a position like that of the Democratic party. On the 5th of August, 1909, when President Taft signed the Payne-Aldrich bill: This law is not a perfect tariff law or a complete compliance with the promises interrupted on the Republican platform, strictly interpreted. On the 12th of February, 1910, speaking again in New York, President Taft said: Nothing was expressly said in the platform that this revision was to be a downward revision of the present venture to repeat the remark I have had occasion to make before, that the present custom law is the best that has ever been proposed. The President is doing his best for Messrs. Cannon and Aldrich, but he is strangely neglectful of himself. PROTEST AGAINST WOMEN WORKING THE STREETS. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Gentlemen—We, the Baptist ministers (who are the leaders of the congregation) regret the action of the city council in compelling women to work on the streets in the public gaze. It is a travesty upon the moral decency of our otherwise proud and progressive city, and as conservers of the peace and dignity and moral uplift of our people, we will hearten to our prayers by removing this spectacle of women sweeping or working the streets, and find employment for them behind closed doors walls. To this end we do humbly petition the honorable mayor and city council. J. F. BRUN J. M. LEAKE. J. W. MILLER. C. F. WHITTENBURG. L. MORGAN. Committee. —The Southern Indicator. Spartanburg, S. C. What a disclosure. Our very soul revolts against such inhuman practices, a true illustration of "man's humanity to man." Instead of the Negro ministers praying and petitioning the authorities they should have gone to the mayor and those in authority with a requisition that our women, whether considered to be good, bad or indifferent, be at once released from such an indecent exposure under the eyes of the law; did we say LAW, well, hardly—something that they call law, but which, in fact and reality, is no law—too based to call it law. What a commentary on the civilization and Christinization of the so-called superior race of Spartanburg and the state of South Caliola. What other race on the face of the earth would stand to see such THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER [Name not visible in the image] SIMPSON M. E. CHURCH CONFERENCE RALLY. Sunday, March 13, was Conference Rally Day at Simpson M. E. Chapel, Rev. J. S. Bailey, pastor, and the church was crowded throughout the day by anxious, earnest, enthusiastic workers and faithful members. The shirkers and jerkers were conspicuous by their absence. The afternoon was the banner service of the day, notwithstanding the fact that the pastor discursed powerfully at the morning service, moving the great congregation at will by his persuasive and convincing eloquence. He was visited in the afternoon by the Rev. Dr. Boston J. Prince, of the Second Baptist Church, who was accompanied by his amiable and talented wife, his great choir and a goodly number of his congregation and members, all of whom joined enthusty of the church. Dr. Prince's serastically in the service of the hour, which was a memorable one in the himon was impressive and well received by the great congregation assembled that taxed the capacity of the church. The offering at the close of the sermon, which had been enlivened by the wonderful singing of the Second Baptist Church choir, amounted to $49. Prof. Austin, it is said, never appeared to greater advantage on any previous visit to this church in leading his magnificent choir that electrified the audience and bestowed fresh laurels on the Professor, who has few equals and certainly no superiors as a choir master in the city. This day's work marked the closing of a successful conference year, totaling up the fourth year of the present pastorate. The Rev. J. S. Bailey has grown stronger and more popular with his church and people as the years have come and gone, and deservingly so, as he has accomplished a most important and necessary work for God, the church and the citizens in general, gathering to himself the sobriquet of "the people's pastor." During all these four years not a blemish has been brought against his reputation or character, having succeeded in keeping himself "unspotted from the world." In truth, Dr. Bailey has been a "doer of the Word," and is rated among the debasing practices against its women? How far will the white man of the South be allowed to go in his harbours treatment of this race of ours before he is told in language not to be misunderstood that he has reached the limit of his diabolical treatment of a defenseensel people. My God, let us awake and arouse ourselves and cherish the thought that "death is sweet when liberty is gone." Shame on the officers of the law of Spartanburg. No race is greater than its women. Negro womanhood must be protected and defended. LITERATURE "Bebbly," or the "Victorious Preacher," by Thos. H. B. Walker, D. D., of Gainesville, Fla. "Affnities who Never Meet," by Frenharte Verland; price 25 cents, postpaid, Homingwood Publishing Company, South Bend, Ind. We have too much reverence for the author of "Bebbly," or the "Victorious Preacher," to enter into a harsh criticism of the book, as we might create bad feeling among his friends and admirers. We merely announce the fact that Dr. Walker has another book upon the market, but we will say this much concerning it, by way of criticism. As a matter of fact we have too much breeze, love and color in our stories, the constant striving after them robs the type of its pleasant characteristic, reality of an hour's excitement. The desperate attempt at style and romance tends still further to hamper illusion. "Bebbly" is clearly, unaffectedly, varaciously an unattractive wooper. But, however, we think there is enough humor and character drawing, with a bit of moralizing, as to make it a readable book. Mr. Verland's "Affinities who Never Meet" introduces itself in appropriate lines, to-wit: "Not a story, nor rythmic verse, nor philosophy in scholarly parlance. Just a remarkable simple and terse. On cupid's errors and the viles of chance." The author truly does a valuable service to the lonely single, the unhappy married, the divorced and the children of the last named class. His language and arguments savors of one having had experience in the conubial bliss. A most readable pamphlet. The A. M. E. Zion Quarterly Review for the present quarter has been re- most progressive and successful of pastors in this city. He is generally well spoken of by white and colored citizens, and we do not hesitate to say, and we say it without begging the question or any attempt at extravagance, that Rev. Bailey is one of the best preachers and painstaking pastors in the bounds of the Lexington M. E. Conference. He has made Simpson the best church by the wonderful advance work he has done for her, and in her, and because of her. He has increased the membership to 225, raised a total of $9,500 for all purposes, $2,246 of that amount having been judiciously applied on necessary church improvements, interior and exterior; placed a cement walk all around the church edifice, added sewer improvements, enhancing the sanitary conditions, much to the gratification of the entire church, putting the church in the front rank as a thing of beauty. He has baptized 31 adults, 43 children, attended and conducted 116 funerals, and performed a large number of marriages. The congregation and church and Sunday-school attendance has been increased by 50 per cent.; also the benevolences of the church have been increased by 50 per cent.; and all the conference claims have been met, and the church with the entire officiary are a unit in asking the bishop and conference for his return. The pastor's salary, although raised from last year, as was the district superintendent's, has been paid in full. The seat of the conference is Maysville, Ky., Bishop Cranston presiding. Hon. George L. Knox, the managing editor of this paper, is chairman of the trustee board of Simpson Church, and says that the above is cordially endorsed by him. Mr. Knox sincerely hopes that the Rev. J. S. Bailey shall minister to him in spiritual affairs another year. Too much praise cannot be given to Superintendent D. E. Skelton for the able and impartial manner he has presided over the District, and especially for the very helpful manner he has de liberated over the affairs of Simpson Chapel. Like Johnnathan and David, Pastor Bailey and Superintendent Skelton associate together in their homes as well as at the church. ceived. We find it scintillaciously brilliant and highly entertaining, a great compliment to its genial and able editor, Hon. John C. Dancey. The Sodalian of Wilberforce University is especially newsy and delightfully interesting. President Scarborough is "doing things," and all Wilberforce is taking notice. We delight in this and wish the president and the great school he heads continued success. HASKEL VETOES MEASURE. Oklahoma Governor Annuls Bill Debaring Negroes From Voting. Guthrie, Okla., March 7.—Governor C. N. Haskell this afternoon vetoed the so-called Taylor election bill under which, it is asserted, most of the Negroes of the state would be barred from voting on constitutional amendments. The Governor pointed out several features of the bill to which he objects, among them that prohibiting the printing of sample ballots. The Taylor bill limited the franchise on constitutional amendments to those whose fathers and grandfathers were free men. DALLAS. TEXAS. Special to THE FREEMAN.

AT THE HIGH STREET—"BLACK PATT!" With a small but nevertheless clever company of excellent singers, Sissierretta Jones, known far and wide as the "Black Trip to Africa," to the High Street Theater yesterday afternoon, and, considering a similar organization, the show did well. Sissierretta certainly can sing as well as she did of yore, and is surrounded by a group of clever comedians, headed by the singer, who are entertaining the story enough to carry through three acts. The plot, if such it may be called, does not worry the spectator, but the dances, solos, choruses ensembles, etc. are pretty and jingling tunes follow in quick succession. M. Morgan Prince, in a "straight" role, has a lot to do and does it fairly well. The comedy detective which he sees it to make up as a tramp, and with a number of songs as well as more clever dancing steps, succeeds in winning his share of From a seminary, giving an opportunity to introduce the chorus to the continent of Africa, where Sissieretta Jones is held for a concert. The company is tented of the seminary, where, by the way, Sissieretta was instructed before she went to Africa (it is not plain why she went to Africa, the act on offers simple opportunity for soundness). The company is worth while, and the show is a singing organization of ability. The company will finish out the remainder of the week at the High Street, giving the joint treaties.—The Columbus News, March 11. PEOPLE'S THEATER AT HOUSTON, TEXAS.

But don't forget the dainty one the soubrette last week singing "Keep Your Foot on the Soft, Soft Pedal." Miss Alberta Williams is there with the goods, getting the boys on her side singing "The Lord Is My Shepherd" hit them last week singing "That Tantalizing, Mesmerizing, Hypnotizing, Mendelssohn Tune." Mrs. Willie Porter, Atlanta's favorite, is still the card. She reads in the city when Lee Crawford, the well-known comedian of Atlanta, passed away and mother earth claimed. She mourns mourn his loss. They all hope he is resting is peace. Mr. P. A. Thomas, our general manager, is still there at the door to greet everybody with him. R. V. Cross, our stage manager, has been on the sick list, but is up again. Rosetta Brown is still on the sick list. Prof. Howard is still funneling seven hours of work by Buster Porter the trap drummer. PEKIN AT MEMPHIS, TENN. Miss Carrie M. Hall, after a successful engagement at the Pekin Theater of Memphis for three weeks, and closing one week at the Royal was a screamer, and made THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER quite a sensational hit. Miss Hall opened the week of March 14 with her own stock, composed of fourteen of the clearest performers in the business, at Atlanta, Ga., and housed in large, stylish houses throughout the country. All the profession should be proud of such a stirring young day as Miss Hall and the other students give to her for her bright stage career. Miss Hall produces and stages all of her shows. One of her famous productions is College Life and the Yama Yama Man, which she created and danced in some of the most gorgeous costumes, made by her. Miss Hall would like to hear from good people at all times. Regards to all the REEMMAN staff. Now playing a six-week work at the Arcade Theater, Atlanta, Ga. NOTES FROM THE AIRDOME THE ATTER JACKSONVILLE, FLA Week of March 7 at the Air Dome inaugurated a brand new feature for the small houses of the South. Messrs. Joel Watts (the new firm name as Mr Watts Glickstein), the management of the Air Dome, in keeping with the advance movement of the colored amusement world, will be visiting the Air Dome. A. Brooks as producer and amusement director for their already popular show house. Mr. Brooks came here direct from his studio, and understood aside from his connection as amusement director of the Air Dome, he will promote a booking exchange, booking acts from Chicago to Jacksonville and return to New York. The show offered this past week is said to be the most pleasing of any yet offered by the company, forty-one and musicien from J. Ed Green's three act musical comedy, "Two African Princes," featured by Mr. Slim Henderson and Mr. Billy Earthquake as the two princes. Earthquake has been in this theater for over thirty-three weeks, and is as popular as Harrison Stewart was in the famous Peddin and as he is a hard worker and extremely funny. The same holds good with Mr. Earthquake, who has been here some time and is a feature comedian with the Billy Kersands Minstrels under canvas this summer. When he is ready to return he will certainly manage and patrons of the Air Dome. The special added attraction, Wiggens and Wiggens, Jack and Lena, put on their show. This act is a top-match singing and dancing act, and can make good any place where a colored act can work. Jack is a brother to Thomas. Thomas is a state and dances the Kid Kid fact, it would be a crime to place both of them one the same bill, unless they were working together. And Jack has the same name as Thomas, and those who have seen the team Thomas and Payne in action know what it is. They are here for two more weeks, then they go to Pensacola, Fla., for a short vacation. Then the show is closed with a whirlwind act, "The Burglar," featured by Billy Earthquake. You can use your own judgement to decide whether this little Earthquake closing it. He is assisted in this sketch by Mr. Lew Kenner, Mr. John H. Lewis and Miss. Theresa Burroughs. Right here will say that this little Miss Earthquake closing it. Mr. Kenner and Air Dome patrons who Miss Lottie Grady was to the Pekin patrons in that theater's popularity. Messrs. Kenner and Lewis are the closing of the engagement when Mr. Brooks took charge, but they were prevailed upon to extend their engagement by him, so they have. They had been to New York, but it has not been postponed. The future of the Air Dome is assured on account of the cosmopolitan ways of Jacksonville. It is a young Chicago. It is a city that may have colorful performers in the business in the future. YOUR BUSINESS. OUR BUSINESS And Everybody's Business in "His Honor, the Barber" Company- By HERBERT EVERETT AMOS. Special to THE FREERMAN. The assertion that the Smart Set Company is one of the most popular theatrical organizations before the public was once one of the few companies last week in the most representative city of the "Blue Grass State." Everybody turned out to entertain us. Literary art, and scientific departments, were represented in the company, ment toward our people, and I wish to thank the citizens of Louisville in behalf of Mr. Dudley and the Smart Set Company. What it was that made a theatrical company popular. To this interrogation I at once answered him by saying that I thought it was the good department of the company. An individual may be ever so entertaining on the stage, but if he doesn't conduct himself well, he may expect to become popular. Art is one thing and popularity is another. Both can be combined, and both can be separated. You can be a professional but professionally you may not. On the other hand, you may like him as an artist or performer, but to consider him on so-called stage, you must be a companion for your wife, you wouldn't think it quite the proper thing. That is why the barber company is the foundation of popularity in the show business. This is the reason why "His Honor, the Barber" Company was so well treated the elite citizens of Louisville and a standing invitation is extended to "His Honor, the Barber" for next season. Thanks to all co-owners, Little Grady, the Pekin favorite, is making good with our company. There is no mistake that as an emotional actress she displays a technique of high develop- While playing at the Avenue Theater in Louisville, Ky., little did the outside world know of all homesteads during the opening of the last act on Tuesday evening. Tribble claimed his wife promised to let him wear an expensive pair of her combination dresses and a falsifier whereupon Tribble said he would take them by force and wear them in the third act. Finally quietude reigned supreme, and Tribble wrote to Mr. Tribble broke the record down to the civil court, where he had papers filed in the appellate division for a clear case of breach of promise. Mr. Tribble enjoyed their stylishness in Louisville at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bridges. Last Friday afternoon Mr. Dudley and a number of young gentlemen from the entertainment at the residence of Dr. Lattimer. Luncheon was served in an elaborate manner. Those invited were: S. H. Dudley, Andrew Tribble, Chenault, Andrew Tribble, Irving Allen and Cary B. Lewis, the FREEMAN representative. The hostess was Miss Lattimer, a prominent school teacher and the sister Bessie Trible would like to hear from Lizzie Phillips. Miss Bessie Trible and Miss Lillian Bessie Bessie the invited guests of Mrs. Smith, of Louisville, last Friday evening. Jennie Hillman, the queen of "needle punchers" (wardrobe mistress), was the girl Miss Salome Worthington while in Louisville. The boys and girls of our company are still talking of that masterpiece of four-leaf clovers, and also hope in the future that before Mr. Sylvester Russell deeds it necessary to point out the "unworthy" deeds of a user who has been wronged, to stop think, and see if his noble works didn't overbalance his "unworthy" ones. "Boots" Allen, who plays the part of Wellington White, the racehorse owner, was at the palatial estate of Mr. West Perkins, a typical Southern tobacco merchant, while in Louisville. Mr. Perkins is in the office of the president of the South. He employs at his factory 350 persons of Boots' race, all of whom turned out at different intervals to see the races. He was the principal. They said the sanguing and dancing could not be excelled anywhere. James A. Lillard, one of the tenors who is greatest appreciated, the management as well as the owners, was the residence of Dr. Beck. The afternoon was spent in carriage riding about the residences. They took a full supply of refreshments, which consisted of cigars and taffy candy. Can any one tell us why Dr. Blackburn and Carrie Lewis hit on board the train good-well. tion them any further, but some one in the company knows. During our engagement at the Virginia Triangle heeling, W. ta., S. H. Dudley and his wife, Mary, were the guests of honor of Mrs. Alice Bradford, of 1035 Chaplin street. Mrs. Bradford is a descendant of the true Southern aristocracy, her father having been in the Confederacy. It is also said that she truces her imminent back as far as the colonial days of William Bradford, who introduced the first printing press into the colonies in 1735. He was also sleeping in the stable which is set aside or the best breed of horses on the premises. "Raspberry Snow" (S. H. Dudley) accomplished a different victory other than the one he achieved in the indentation, laced shoes and riding his ride "Surprise" in the last act. It has always been the custom at the Virginia Theater in Wheeling, a. to allow colorated patrons the college theater half of the orchestra circle. On the opening night, which was Monday, Mr. Dudley observed early during the performance that the were no colored people down shirts. He held the orchestra in the management and contested his feelings in behalf of his race, whereupon he won the victory in a silent but forceful battle of words. three-fourths of the house was thrown down, and the maulder of the booking, and the management was not at a loss financially. Chief of Police Hard Hastings of Woolley, of the booking, Dudley. He emphatically told Mr. Dudley that whenever he comes to Wheeling again his domicile will be thrown open to him. While Irving Allen (Boots) was lying in the spain garden, a gagment in his right leg, which was hurt to the strenuous numbers of the show, he was wined and dined by Mr. Percy White and Will Davis at 805 Walnut street, Lousiana. Boots stayed in bed one day overtime. If you wish plenty of seasonable food, with kind and courteous treatment, while in Louisville, seek accommodation at A. M. Michaels' Keystone Cafe, or Mrs. Kate Bates'馆 of 420 West street. These people do not charge exorbitant prices to professionals. NEW ORLEANS, LA. Special to THE FREEMAN CLARKSVILLE TENN.

The court is holding the defense of 170 cases in the nine law and witnesses from abroad are giving testimony of some importance. The soldiers who are coming receive their transportation and necessary expenses from the government. It is expected that the court will be prepared to make its final report in April, at which time the time limit allowed by law for the inquiry will expire. Lawyer N. B. Marshall is still concluding the defense of the accused man, Gilchrist Stewart has dropped out and returned to New York. "The School Teacher" for February is unusually interesting and the articles are a high literary quality. Among the featured articles issue "The Man on the Almanac" by Edward L. Stevens: "Preliminary Report of the Comprehensive Bridgeing of Giving and Learning Elementary and High Schools"; "Correlation Based on Social and Individual needs", by George Myers; "Work and Workshops"; "Schoolroom Decoration", by B. C. Dodson; "Educating the Urban Negro", by Prof. Kelly Miller; "My School in Porto Rico"; "Vocational Training". This unique and valuable publication is edited by Garnett C. Wilkinson, and Frank L. Cardozo is business manager. It is being well supported by the educational forces of the community. The contract between the Lincoln Memorial Building Company and the A. C. Deltwyn Company of Stock brokers, by which the latter was to sell the stock for the former, and the theater and office building projected by the Lincoln Company, has been abrogated. The work is now in the hands of President W. Sidney Pittman and Secretary W. A. Bowle, of the factory arrangement can be made with some other financial managers. As a company of white capitalists of Baltimore has just started on a $75,000 theater for college students, the company made that the Lincoln Company take over this investment and control the theater themselves. It is bound to be a paying venture, and the money in hand will enlarge the theater, providing a and provide a revenue-producing institution by September 1. Wilberforce University, which is the oldest institution devoted to the higher education of the Negro in the United States, is now established in 1847, and since that time has turned out a large number of graduates, who have made an indelible mark on the country. The annual commencements of Wilberforce are truly national events. The University was set on fire and burned down the campus, but was rebuilt soon afterward. President Scarborough has injected new life into the work of the institution and has begun to undertake projects which promise early consummation—one of them being the erection of a $36,000 girl's dormitory, toward which Mr. Scarborough condition that the institution raise the balance. It is believed that on "Ohio Night," March 8, the present large subscription list for this purpose will be made available. Mr. Scarborough charge of the meeting includes W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury; Rev. I. N. Ross, J. C. Wright and W. A. Joiner, who is president of the Betsie Literacy Society and Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford is secretary. The Washington Commercial Council, of which Architect J. K. Lankford is president, is taking up its work for the new year and a program is nearly ready for its launch. The Council will local civic body to endorse the 1913 exposition and has named a committee to urge upon Congress the passage of the bill to create the proposed commission of the Council, vowed for Director-General. The Council is pleased with the selection of New York as the seat of the next convention of the National Negro Business League, and will meet on the next August. A business men's "smoker" is to be held next month by the Council. Word comes from Little Rock, Arkansas, that an effort will be made by than thriving city to secure the 1911 convention of the National Negro Press Association. The Board of Trade of Little Rock has agreed to extend an invitation to the A movement scarcely less significant than the founding of the National Negro Press Association. Here is a note of the Association of Colored Scientists. The idea originated with Charles M. Thomas, the ever alert and progressive instructor in science methods in Normal University, and the president of the "drive wheel" of the organization. Prof. H. C. Scurlock, professor of chemistry at Howard University, is temporary president; N. E. Weatherless, head of the department of science in Normal University, is vice president. Other officers are to be elected. A largely attended meeting, held last Saturday in the library of Normal School No. 2, was addressed by Dr. Barton W. Everman, of the United States Commission and a member of leading scientific associations of the country. The members of the initial local section M. Street High School—A. U. Craig, H. D. Douglass, P. W. Montgomery, Eleanor Datcher, Mineola Kirkland and W. L. S. G. Armstrong Technical School—Dr. Sara W. Brown, A. C. Newman, Benjamin Washington, Francis De Sales Smith and M. Normal School No. 2—Mary O'H. Williamson and Charles M. Thomas. The organization of the local section will include sub-committee on administration, physical and medical science, biological science, sociological science and such other branches as may be found necessary from time to time. League to come, and this welcome is supplemented by assurances from the leading white business men of the city that they will take pleasure in making the stay of the president in every way. Scolpio A. Jones, vice-president of the National Negro Business League; John E. Bush, of the executive board of the Arkansas Rector vice-president of the Arkansas State League; W. M. Alexander, national grand master of the Mosaic Templars; L. G. O. of F. F. are taking the lead in thus extending the hospitality of Little Rock to the National League for 1911. G. U. O. of F. F. are taking the lead with a view of "landing" the semi-centennial exposition in 1913. An "Arkansas Day" at the New York meeting in proposed by the modest gentlemen from the banner State of the Great Southwest. Counselor E. A. Johnson, of North Carolina, now practicing law most successfully in New York City, spent a few days here last week, the guest of Architect J. Lankford, of Lankford, N.J., for a dignitary work "A School History of the Negro Race," may be introduced in the colored schools of Washington, if the advice of a number of experienced educators of the District is accepted and approved. It is of many that the most effective method of instilling pride of race is to have the colored child know something of the creditable achievements of his race; therefore, the argument in favor of bringing this carefully written story of Negro progress into our schools is regarded as strong one, and the book may be included in the course of study for next year. WHERE THE FREEMAN CAN E FOUND IN NEW YORK CITY. TEN THOUSAND TRUE LIGHT MISSIONARIES GOING OUT IN 1910 TO THE NEGRO RACE. GENERAL OFFICE AND HEADQUARTERS OF THE TRUE LIGHT ARMY, 74 Highland St. Boston, Mass. March 5, 1910. Special to the honorable, the lovely, the powerful, the wise, the true, the mercil- ful and the just, the high, of the whole Near true, America. Greeting: Dearly beloved, you and each of you, are hereby informed that THE TRUE LIGHT ARMY, of which I am the founder and the director general in chief, of the Army, and the Army of Almighty, through Christ, Jesus, our Lord, the King of Glory, and that I, by the will of him, and by the authority vested in me, made an urgent appeal to the Army, to send newspapers as a direct test to the Negro race of America, which appeal is yet standing in our Negro journals, now, calling for one hundred thousand, up to one million, to give a day's labor free of charge to God and us, or at least one hour's labor free to help the TRUE LIGHT ARMY to get to all the members of the Army, in a way and only sufficient plan and system by which all the worthy members and obedient ones of the whole Negro race of America—by the direct order of God—can be managed and controlled righteously, in defense of all goodness worthy of support; and also can be delivered completely from the woeful condition and the distress which is now so swiftly coming to this our people in America as a race. And to you I say that this urgent appeal was made for three specific reasons, the first reason is that to ascertain just whether the asiduity of the masses and the masses of them are truly interested about themselves and about themselves and the second reason was to ascertain whether they are truly confidential and willing, individually or as a unit, to do justice to tangible successes and the second reason was to ascertain whether they are truly confidential and willing, individually or as a unit, to do justice to tangible successes and the second reason was to ascertain whether or not they as individuals or as a race can believe the truth, and are really deceived into God's most blessed inheritance, in the Kingdom of God and in his Canaan of Glory, which is now to be manifested among them as a people in America. THEY ARE NOT HIRELINGS. We are not the only those true light missionary soldiers receive no special salary for their labor, as they are not hired workers. They are chosen volunteer workers for God and for the salvation of the Negro people, who agree to work for the King and to do, and for the great joy that is seen before them; but notwithstanding this, they shall be well fed and clothed, and of the same kind of glorious light at the expense of the general treasury, and the TRUE LIGHT ARMY, and at the expense fund of the King and Queen church of glory, the grand supreme holy church of glory, the glorious light the world union, and at the expense of such other people as will greet them in their holy warfare in battling for God; for Christ, Jesus, the King of Glory, and the Negro people—in the right—in the true light of life, which is most high in glory. All of these shall go forth prepared, they prepared, to successfully lead as many people as possible, and cheerfully follow them from darkness, yea from gross darkness, to the true light of life, and from unrighteousness, from captivity to freedom, and to the rightness of the living God and life eternal. And if they prove to be a stumbling stone to many leaders and teachers that they are not able to prove so to any of them who will treat them with the best Christian honor and the greatest of intelligence and true hospitality, is it not possible for all men to do this (and we are all hearted, deceitful, and deceitful), but I should advise all to try to do to so the best of their ability, and see if these true missionaries do not prove to be the most gifted man that have ever come to you as a people. THEY CAN QUALIFY OTHERS. They are authorized to receive others in their missionary work, to be able to them, and it is their God-given privilege to accept contributions—liberally—from such anxious people as are freely willing to contribute to our missionary fund, that they are not sent as missionaries, but as men. And these true light missionaries will be in a great hurry when they reach any people in any community; and their missionaries will be to the point; but all of them will THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. But woe to the world because of offenses, woe to them that be offended in me; but it must needs be that offenses be made public, that offenses comet, for it shall be more tolerable in the day of judgment for them that persecuted Christ Jesus and His disciples, than it shall be for those that seek LIGHT ARMY now, for they shall not be forgiven in this world nor in that which is to come, for they prove to be the vilest of all hypocrites yet seen, and there is no mercy for them. Now, I have appealed to the willing people of this generation for ten million dollars ($10,000,000) as an expense fund, and I do hereby appeal to the Negro race for the expenses and missionary fund of this army of the true light of life, for great and glorious is the mission of it to the world, beginning in the Negro race America and continuing to the end of the world. And now, dears, I state to you that in our high educational college of glory (for evidence of such college, see above, 4th and 5th editions), will you train true light missionaries free of charge, so as to make it possible for such as are called and chosen of God to be taught of him graciously, without money and without prices, and branches of this college will be taught on the whole earth, and the high educational board of glory shall be, and is formed, or composed of the choicest characters of our royal college body and of our race, and of room for a full force of the supreme intelligence of the true college of life, supreme. And I notify now the Negro race that we are now ready and prepared to establish a true light court, and a troop of the true warriors, and a high educational college of glory, and of the King and Queen Church of Glory, and of the grand supreme holy trinity associent among our colored people in every city where our people live, wherever our people can and will raise among themselves for our general expense fund at least fifty to one hundred dollars in every place where we shall have our people in all that is good for them to do as a people; as it is now the devil and his angels, wicked and vicious men, are now living on the ignorance of the people in all that is good for them everywhere, and I promise all the people that I call, to come to me, in the name of our God, that nothing but pure godliness and supreme godly intelligence shall be possessed by the forces of control and royal leadership by which the whole royal body of members of this great cause and kingdom of the U.S. shall be managed and controlled, throughout the entire world, forever and ever. And I notify our race hereby now, that we are now ready and prepared to enlist and to use and employ for a lifetime over best spirted and the best dispositioned men and women of our race in this glorious work and in the formation of the supreme support membership of the TRUE LIGHT ARMY most high, and we are fully prepared to show unto them how to lead all of our obedience and obedience to God, and all of success at all success at ever and, as God wills. For the success of the Negro people is strictly contained in their individual obedience to God, by me, whom He has sent with that man, that woman can bear his repentance and truth that I tell to them? and what is the matter with that person who does not want to prove me, and see whether I can bear my repentance willing to prove a doctor of my profession to see whether he is faithful and true. I say such ought to be dead, for I am not a man who should and should be cast out from among the people as Mr Islam was in the days of Moses, for the disease that they are possessed with is too bad and too conducive to allow them to stay among other people. And I say to all concerned that it is highly possible for the TRUE LIGHT ARMY, led as it is by the king of glory, to enable all, the obedient and faithful men, to rise as one race to become totally a self-supporting people—united—within a period of one year's time after they are all made to understand the royal particulars contained in the book, as a people, and I defy contradiction to this assertion from either men or, angels, high or low, and if this is not enough to convince all people that I know that I am qualified to qualify as a men and people that I believe my testimony—and above everyone who knows no sure way to save the Negro people and deliver them from the woeful condition that they are now in. For I am ready, I am fully able and I prepared to deliver each and every man, woman and child of the whole Negro race from poverty and oppression and establish them forever; if they will do as I do, I tell them to do, daily for their own success as a people, and as individuals. The High Educational College of Glory Special to the Seven Favorite Characters, and Classes, of the Whole Negro Race of America: GREETING, namely: — The honorable, the lovely, the pure, the wise, the true, the merciful and the just, most high.

March 11.—It is said thatprompter Jim Griffen has conceived the idea of matching a brace of good men for a date a couple of days in summer, and that with Griffen it shows that he has business acumen which may result in his standing shoulder to shoulder with the matchmakers who achieve world-wide importance. There was a whisper some days ago that Rickard and Gleason would have opposition on July 4, but the suggestion was saught as a crazy one. A man who would promote a prize-giving event within fifty miles ofProvidence, independence day would be voted a boon. On July 2 it will be different. The advice guards of Johnson-Jeffries delegations would outside pointing through the streets of Francisco and pugilistic will sound. Anything, almost in the shape of a bout with the gloves will appeal to the visitors—to say of the stay-at-homes—and, of course, the important the contest the better it will take. GIPPEN WANTS KETCHEL Gipfen's first thought was given to a matchup between Tampa Bay and San Laredo. It shows that Jim is new to the business when he talks of such sacred things so lightly, but at that it might be usuck to land a big thing of that matchmaking belt. The yists of the matchmaking belt had failed. A Ketchel-Langford contest is one that the sporting public wants to see. In pop culture it favors ranks next to the Johnson-Jefferson belt. It may be Gipfen who bring the challenge as ever is just aching, for a chance at the BY HAROLD C. McGATH Michigan assassin, but if past happenings are any clew to what is in Stanley Ketchel's mind, the men will never stride to other from the angles of a prize ring. Even the news that James Flynn "put it all over" Langford at Los Angeles a few weeks ago will not cause Ketchel to think of Langford as a ring mate. For that matter, Flynn would be a reverse English on the betting men in Los Angeles. After that other affair one might expect to find Flynn selling even or at slight odds over Langford for Patty's day fight, but instead any one wishing to back Flynn can command 2 to 1. Another battle to be fought near the date of the Jeffries-Johnson fight will be held in theolgast, new champion of the lightweights, and Freddie Welsh, the English champion. JACK IN PULPIT TELLS OF MOTHER'S INFLUENCE "Helped Me," Johnson Declares in Sermon. MINNEAPOLIS, March 11—"Keep your mother's image before you all the time; remember what she taught you when you was a youngster and there is nothing you can accomplish," said ruth Jack Johnson, accepcionist for the St. James African Methodist Episcopal Church, in his sermon on "The Influence of My Own Experience." Assuming without difficulty a series of ministerial poses, Jack Johnson addressed the large audience of admirers which had gathered an hour before the colored champion's arrival at the church. Although Johnson was not the only person across the open book on the pulpit front scintillated with a large diamond, the preaching prize fighter's powerful right was swapped repeatedly forward in a gesture of defiance. The colored champion would grasp the frail pulpit between both massive hands, and leaning forward, would emphasize a point with a powerful crush of the fists, but the mother's snapper, nor was there any fist banging. FIGHTING AS A BUSINESS "My mother's teachings to me when I was a kid, and the things she had to do when I keep me from the new years. I go to what first inspires me in the ambition to succeed," said the fighter. "When I first broached the prize when I showed her that it was a business proposition, she said. Go ahead and win, and following that suggestion I have done my best. The heavyweight champion, gave his sermon for the benefit of the church debt of the St. James A. M. E. Church of St. James, and the pastor, the pastor and a personal friend of Jacks." ROBINSON'S PIONEER ATHLETICS The Robinson Pioneer Athletics of Jacksonville, Fla., are hard at practice for their games on the 22d and 23d of March with the Leland Glants. This team is playing in the second round and record for 1909 was as follows: Played 30 games, won 21, lost 7 and tied 2; winning from such teams as the Atlanta Depens, Columbia Glants of South Carolina, Savannah, Cuthams, and all the best of Florida. J. M. Robinson of the Exchange Theatre is manager and owner of this team. Monroe Tabor, the crack second baseman of the team, is getting in fine shape for the season. Lewis, the leading batter. His next man with the willow was Jim Dawkins, a fast player. Our line-up for 1910; Jim Dawkins, catcher Lewis, the leading batter; Calvin Brown, shortstop; Monroe Tabor, second base; Cummings, first base; Gans, pitcher; Jim Singleton, centerfield. We have some new boys, of whom I will write later. Monroe Tabor is going to play all of the inside plays Athletics Tabor's idea of how to keep the arm in shape: Never go into a game until you are ready. Before you practice, for you can lose your arm so quick in playing. When you are in the infield always try to field the ball. When you are in the outfield try to run and make a skip and try to knock the first baseman off the bag. These little things all players should watch. They will hurt you if you hit it and you can always throw; it never will hurt you like it does others. Study the science of throwing. Another thing you should do is throw the sleeves after the game in the afternoon. Now, boys, if you love the game, take care of that wing. Never have any special needs. They will hurt you if you can't throw underhand, go over with it. There are three ways of throwing. Try them. They are overhand, under and overhand, and it a great help to practice all of them. JACKSONVILLE (ILL) BASEBALL TEAM. The boys of Jacksonville have long wanted a splendid uniformed team, and Mr. C. Mason of Chicago came down and effected an organization with Daley Daly Hyatt, Hammail and St. Louis; first base, H. Lynch, Jacksonville; second base, R. Gooch, Jacksonville; third base, C. King, Jacksonville; short stop, C. McMee, Jacksonville; center field, E. Blue, Chicago; right field, J.

FAMOUS NEGRO CATCHER WILL PLAY WITH WISCONSIN WHITE CLUB. Andrew Campbell, formerly of Galveston, Tex., but now of Minneapolis, will play this season with the La Cross, Wis., white club. Campbell is a star catcher and began his career with the Minnesota. His professional career began when he was signed by the Flyaways, then the champions of Texas and Louisiana. He played outfield for some time at the Minnesota and Sam (Moxie) Williams, he was placed behind the bat with a big mit. He became famous as the best Negro backstop in the business. He has played on all the leading teams of Texas. He played for the Andros (Rube) Foster's Ft. Worth, Tex. team. In the same year he went to Chicago and made good with the Chicago Union Giants. In 1905 he went back to Texas. He played for the Texas Steers club after John Jones. This club made a tour and cleaned up from Texas to Atlanta, Ga., and back again. The next year found Campbell with the Chicago Leland Giants. From the Leland Giants to Minneapolis, Minn., and played the past seasons with the Keystones of that city. THE BRUNSWICK IN CHICAGO. Western Man Makes Good-Gives to the People of the Windy City Best Colored Hostelry in the Mid- Midwest West The Brunswick Hotel in Chicago, owned and operated by Mr. George Holt, formerly of St. Louis, is, without exception, one of the finest and most colorful hotels in the country and anywhere in West. Mr. Holt has advanced modern and rather unique methods in the conduction of his house. It is run on the stag principle, although arrangements are coupled and furnished in the heart of the city. How many women are not catered to. The Brunswick has twenty beautifully appointed rooms, steam heated. Both gas room and electric lights are at hand. Luxurious furnishings are provided on floor. The buffet in connection is one of the most elaborate in Chicago. The Brunswick is fast gaining an enviable reputation for its service, its handiness, its general accommodation, its conveniences for its prices. Mr. Holt has thoroughly demonstrated the people without distressing his guests THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER J. H. H.

The Freeman borrows this house to the travelling public. THE JEFFRIES-JOHNSON FIGHT. Speaking of the Johnson-Jeffries fight from an unprejudiced point, Johnson will be the winner if these men ever fight. Jeffries in his prime was the greatest great bulk and strength, combined with his strong and carrying punch that no man has ever been able to withstand with what little science he possessed, has made him so. His style of fight has always flared his glare of fiery eyes helped him to win. But in six years' absence without any work whatever, there's no way for him to come back to the world. He's been working with different men, pulling off a fight every once in a while. He has shown the sporting world that he is coming around in each fight after winning the world's championship, and that he has a great endurance in every battle. Of the two he is the best defense fighter. Pick Jack to "bring home the bacon." Although the fight is some time off, barring incidents, the big giant from Texas will win. In Jeffries' fighting days he met me much smaller than himself and at least forty pounds lighter. On Jack's hands it was heavier, the same, heavier, the same, heavier, and both are average heavies. But the man defeated by Jeff was a light heavy holding the heavyweight best. Had he been heavier, he would have been champion yet if he would have sidestepped Jack. He is the champion and will be for many years to come. It took old Jeff quite a while to whip old Jeff up. He was a champion, his life, and this he knows. Watch and see if Jeff doesn't go down in eighteen rounds and that will be the limit. I do not believe that Jack will lay down, for he knows that he sometimes has done that or other things has done and that is to still retain the world's heavyweight belt, whipping Jim, which no one else has done. This alone will make that giant from Texas fight the battle of his life. We are with you, Jack, old boy. Whip him, for we know that you can. We These four gentlemen are at the h Standing, reading from left to right: A ting, reading from left to right: Richa dent. Address all business communicati Louisville, Ky. Texans admire, love and adore Jack Johnson for his sensibility. He has proven to the race that he is worthy of their race.

OUTLAW LEAGUE PROMOTERS TO DRAW UPON COLORED PLAY- ERS TO ROUND OUT OR- GANIZATION. Formal plans for launching a league known as the United States League was perfected some time ago in the East. The league has been the main sponsor for the new organization, and has sent forth the news that colored players will be welcomed into the league. The intentions of the new league are to create a league which has brought about its formation has designs which will tend to jeopardize the already weak standing of colored clubs and to organize a league which has organized ball at this writing and we can not hope to gain any favor through casting our lot with any person who is known to be planning warfare against the organization, our friends and admirers in all leagues, and they stand ready and willing to help us when we show that we are making an effort to help ourselves. We have no perimeter standing and condition in baseball. It is a well-known fact that we have practically stood still and watched the formal leagues and have utilized a time-worth characteristic of appealing to the sympathy of our white friends to pave the way until now we face to face with our organization which we are in our forming a league of colored only. This should be done to show the powers that be in baseball that we have realized our mistake and at this level the right action. eW should push forward at all times and abstain from association of any kind that might result in a backward direction. This can not be in the official league, it is a move in the wrong direction, and the patrons of the game are against it, as they want to see the integrity of baseball uphold in the times, this can not be in the official league, it is a strong sentiment in all parts of the country against outlaw ball; this has been shown. The National Commission has agreed to send their chairman to Chicago to try for some kind of an agreement with the semi-pros there which would practically bring them into the fold; in addition lots were a half a dozen colored clubs. This late move by the commission would make it appear that the new league is short of the class of material necessary to make a showing in the cities they have selected, and as the ability of our boys is well known in the cities named it occurred to the promoters that to state that they would use anybody who can play ball making a speciality of cover it would be the best kind of advertising as the people in this country are fond of novelties. But it has been shown that they do not go in baseball unless they carry a surplus amount of merit. If they draw upon the star colored players where will they get running mates for them? The development of players is being carried on in all parts of the country in a legitimate way and these players are placed in leagues of good standing; plays have long ago discarded the idea of bucking organized ball and you will not find a player in the minor league service who will join in the game. The fact that this of this affair will have either to use a lot of green amateurs or resort to the use of lot of old has been that no league would like to in order to have teams. It looks like they will play for the championship of England. Baseball in that country is practically an amateur game, but were it not for the existence of a license for making good with the John Bulls. The fact is that we have no particular kick coming and we are not making a great bowel over discrimination. The majority of players are from coast and there is not a league from coast to coast but what you will find magnates, managers and players who have at some time been closely associated with colored teams. We are an owners standpoint on down to the number of players whom I could name start their careers upon vacant lots and in alleyes with men who are now the leading lights in the league. We are an owners standpoint will note that quite a number of league men in conversation will always ask the wherebouts of some player or players that are down deep within his breast he has the greatest respect and admiration for that particular player or players that away down deep within his breast he record with the declaration that he must up a dozen or more of big men in the baseball world at any time who will gladiate and willingly do all within their direction that we may see fit to make ilm of the Louisville Cubs of 1910. Brown, treasurer; James Stringer, Stird Turner, secretary; John Lewis, presi- ns to James Stringer, 124 West Green St.. main at the bottom. A few things generally overlooked by persons who think well of the league are these. No. Negro baseball men were the first to form a league with a formation of such a venture sent to a Negro journal; Three thousand dollars is a pretty stiff salary limit for a new venture. The league is the most substantial leagues in the country are wabbling under just such a limit. But considering the cities named the limit are not all the same, would we have to cavort around the diamond with whites in Baltimore, where there has been a long fight against our league, or successfully do such in Chicago, Boston and New York at present, we must admit that the promoters have certainly got the goods of they can bring about such a league. The promotors of this league should speedily make an opening for both capital and brains; that is, if they intend to enter upon friendly. Our aid in business is much as so in anything else, should be to become landlord as well as servants. Such is what brings about harmony, good will and success and these are the things that we want. We have to wish it understood that I am opposing a movement to help us, neither am I knocking what the inexperience might consider get to the front by being good law-abiding a good thing. I contend that we can only do this by being good everyday life; therefore, we must work in a manner which will admit of no embarrassment when we see fit to place our cases before the supreme powers who rule the game.
