HALL DURING THE DAY Received From War Department-Instructors From the United States Army-Poney Moore Ill at Hospital. BY CARY B. LEWIS. (Bureau 2939 State St.) Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, Ill., June 8.—Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute and one of the foremost men of the race, was in the city Sunday, June 8, when he spoke of Dr. George Hall and was also in company during the day with Mr. A. Roberts. It was learned that he had no special mission in the city of Chicago, no special role in the life of his friends and to spend the time quietly. He was enroute North, where he had several engagements to speak. He was accompanied by his son David. Washington, it is said, talked most freely about the National Negro Business men's League. He said that he was greatly interested in the coming meting, and that he was desirous of it being the greatest opportunity he had. He stopped in E. H. Faulkner's news stand Monday and bought a Southern Workman, the Freman and several other papers. Mr. news agency of Mr. Faulkner and wished to be interviewed optimistically in favor of the Negro Exposition in 1913, but said nothing of the location nor who would be on the committee. Nothing was given out of a political nature. Col. John R. Marshall, Major R. R. Jackson and Major Frank Denison have received General Nos. 69 from the War Dept. and 70 from the Army schools.

The Eighth Illinois National Guards will be the officers from the United States Army and the school will open soon and the boys in blue will soon "matriculate." Members of the Eighth have begun to train and to receive encampment. The matter has already reached the officers and they have discussed various plans to carry on the encampment, and it is thought that by the last of the month the officers about decided for the best interest of the encampment outing Up to the present it is not positively known where the boys will samp. . . . It is interesting to the citizens of Chicago to know that the Eighth Infantry received the highest percentage of strength during the month of April Company C. 80.2; Company D. 78.2; Company E. 78.6; Company F. 78.7; Company G. 79.7; Company H. 81.2; Company I. 85.8; Company M. 81.4; Average strength. 80.1. . . . "Poney" Moore, one of the most widely known sporting men in the city of Chicago, last Saturday he was stricken with paralysis after the stroke at his home on Calumet avenue. It came as a shock to the many friends Mr. Moore. He has been in the best of stands and for the physicians to give out the shirt and the tie, the greater shock to the sporting fraternity. "Poney" Moore came to the city of Chicago about twenty-five years ago. He was at time a local sporting man, but finally the game big. He ran a season in the "Red Bull" team and was good about the time that the "lid was lifted." Turf saloon, one of the most famous saloons in the city and country, was owned by "Poney" Moore and placed where he resided his harvest. He unassessed, it is said, a fortune, and he leased property at Twenty-first and State streets but not invitily for a hotel. He earned a large sum of money for it for a long time, but was finally closed by Mayor Dunne on account of politics. He then opened a place at 41 Thirty-first street shown as the Palace, and has been running a connection with a saloon, since that time. Mr. Moore has saved his money. It is said he is one of Chicago's most wealthy colored citizens. He lives in a handsome home on Calumet avenue, the most select streets in the city on the East side. Mr. Moore still continues ill at this writing, the physicians claim that it will only be the matter of time before the end will come. Confidence in the management of the Inna Bank is causing a large number of people of the city of Chicago to place their savings at that institution. A bank is indispensable business men are going right up the ladder along business and commercial lines, basically we hear the knocker, but them we have to wait the time. This success is due to Nerous's ability and honesty. Several enterprise have impressed us since our stay in the city, Chicago will impress anybody that is not so good. in their nature and seduced in their passion and prejudice. We are not reckless in our writing when we name the Binga Bank, Motta Theatre and the Eighth Regiment. We are not reckless as a credit to the Negroes of Chicago. All successful men are pursued by carping critics. This is natural but it does not keep this class of men from moving forward and outwardly expanding. There are hundreds and hundreds of individuals in the city of Chicago we have not met, that are not only a credit to themselves, but to the race. As the days go by, the people of Chicago will keep these enterprising citizens. We will not go into the sewers to get such matter, but will be contented to keep up with all the people that are doing things "worth of cleaning and roping." We will keep with all the people, the humblest as well as the upper crust. To give the news, to encourage the colored people in the business enterprises and other organizations, to be the friend of the printers ink, to be the mission of the Freemasons dependant. Perhaps there are but few, if any, milliners in the city that has a more up-to-date parlor than Madam Seymour, 3531 Street state.

Miss Luila Crawford is her assistant, and for a hat decorator she is one the best in the fashion industry. At the place she does a thriving business, and it is said that her trade is unusually large.

His Phenomenal Success Causes Enmity of Doctors ARRESTED MANY TIMES. BUT ACQUITTED BY JURIES AND JUDGES AND PERMITTED TO CONTINUE IN A WORK THAT HE ALONE CAN DO, AS HE IS THE ONLY MAN IN THE WORLD USING HIS SYSTEM—PATIENTS MAKE STARTLING STATEMENTS OF HIS SUCCESSFUL METHOD OF TREATING CONSUMPTION, BRIGHT'S DISEASE, KIDNEY TROUBLE, BLINDNESS, FITS, CATARRH, HEART DISEASE, CATARACTS, NERVOUS PROSTRATION, DROPSY, HAY FEVER AND MANY OTHER DISEASES THAT BAFFLE THE SKILL OF THE ORDINARY PHYSICIAN. WICHITA, Kas.-The almost miraculous cure of hopeless invalids made by Professor Samuels of Wichita, Kas., have been of such a startling character that they have aroused widespread wonder, admiration and curiosity. Time and again he has taken cases pronounced hopelessly incurable by the medical profession and restored the patients to health in a most phenomenal manner. There is considerable mystery attached to Professor Samuels' method of accomplishing these marvels, and it is known that he does not use the drastic drugs and medicines that doctors depend upon. And it is a matter of proof that with the system this discovery gives him, he has made the blind see and the lame walk. He has revived the filckeging spark of life in bodies on the very verge of the grave, and restored to health men and women given up to die by doctors and specialists. Professor Samuels came into note several years ago by his almost miraculous cure of "Blind Joe" of Topeka, Kas., who was well known in that city, having sold peanuts and popcorn on the streets there for years. He had been blind for ten years and had exhausted all the means in his power to be cured, but had given up in despair until he fell into the hands of Professor Samuels, who effected a cure. Professor Samuels has been arrested many times for practicing his system without having a diploma. On being interviewed a few days ago relative to his many arrests, Professor Samuels said: "Yes, I have been arrested many times for practicing without a license, but in no case have I been convicted. Naturally, the medical profession are jealous of my success, and are fighting me most of the time, but how are they going to convict me? Do you suppose any jury, when my patients come into court, as they did at Alva, Okla.; Newkirk, Okla.; Ponce City, Okla., and other towns, and tell how they have been cured of all manner of trouble, do you suppose for a minute that any jury hearing these_people and seeing with their own eyes what has been accomplished, is going to convict me? My trial at Alva was before a very able judge, Jesse J. Dunn, who is now chief justice of the State of Oklahoma. After hearing the evidence for and against me I was acquitted. At Newkirk I was tried before Judge Hausley, a very able judge. Judge Brown, a noted lawyer, was the prosecuting attorney, and fought the case very hard, but I was acquitted. These persecutions were brought because I have no license. Being the originator and only practitioner of my system of healing, how am I to have a diploma? I cannot it to myself, and the medical fraternity, trotting along in the same harness for half a century, too blind to accept my discovery, which accomplishes actual results, make it impossible for me to procure a license as a representative of any of the recognized schools. So what am I to do but to proceed in my own way and accomplish results that astound humanity? The professor here showed a reprint from the court records, showing the proof of his assertions that the court had not convicted him. Professor Samuelis is a remarkable man. Bright, alert, progressive and, although 60, he is straight and active and gives one the impression that he is much younger. He talks with such an earnest conviction and enthusiasm of his work that the listener must believe him and believe in his work. "What is the nature of your treatment?" was the next question. "That is a secret that has taken many years of my life to accomplish. I can only say that my results are obtained treating diseases by dropping a colorless liquid, which I prepare into the eye. Strange as it may seem, so-called incurable cases of consumption. Bright's disease, dropy, epileptic fits, nervous prostration, are treated in this apparently miraculous way. My system is based absolutely on scientific principles. The eye is the window of the soul. I have evolved a system of treating other bodily ills based on the relation of the eye to the system as a whole. This may seem strange, but here are the proofs." Thereupon the professor placed before his interviewer his "Message of Facts," affidavits and letters in great numbers, many of them from responsible and well-known people, all bearing on his statements. This proved that Mr. Frank Hoff, now in business at 249 North Main street, Witchita, Kas., had been given up to die of consumption. He had been treated by the greatest specialist in Brooklyn, N. Y. It was some seven years ago, and when he had tried everything else without avail, that he came to Professor Samuels and was cured. He is a large, strong man and weighs 240 pounds now, and when called upon by the interviewer, stated that he owed his life to Professor Samuels. Mrs. Minnie B. Tarver, living at Hesterville, Miss, had what was pronounced to be a very bad case of tuberculosis. A large number of her family had died from the same disease, among them her mother, two sisters, one brother and one brother-in-law. She had practically given up hopes when hearing of Professor Samuels and began taking his treatment. She was having fever, a cough and night sweats, and now and then a hemorrhage. She weighed only 120 pounds. After beginning treatment, she noticed an improvement the very first day. She gained in weight until she weighed 150 pounds, her usual weight. Mr. L. W. Shufelberger, living seven miles northeast of Wichita, was almost blind and deaf, was led by his daughter to the office of Professor Samuels, and was suffering a great deal of pain from his eyes. Professor Samuels restored his eyesight after three weeks' treatment. He goes everywhere unattended and transacts his business and writes almost as well as he ever did in his life. After being entirely deaf in one ear for twenty years he can hear the tick of a watch. Miss Ida Garrison, who resides at 963 Roberts avenue, Wichita, Kas., was said to be very low with consumption by leading physicians. She tried all sorts of climates and very best doctors on lung trouble and was pronounced incurable by all. Miss Garrison took my treatment about seven years ago and she treated about nine months and is still in good health. Mr. W. E. miley, of Fairview, Dane county, Oklahoma, had doctored for years for rheumatism, but without avail. Mr. Smiley could not even stand straight, could not straighten his hands or raise his arms. He had to be fed and dressed. Mr. Smiley placed himself in the hands of Professor Samuels and within thirty days his hands began to lumber up, and within three months he was in such a condition that he was able to work on his farm. The people of his home town think that a miracle has been performed on Mr. Smiley, but his cure is simply due to Professor Samuels' secret treatment through the eye. Mr. P. R. Robey, who resides at 309 North Walnut street, Wichita, Kas, brought his mother, Mrs. P. Spidal, to Wichita to be treated by Professor Samuel's. She was unable to move hand or foot; she was even unable to speak. Her case was paralysis. Physicians had given her up and considered her case hopeless. She was taken in an ambulance to the home of her daughter. After using Professor Samuel's treatment a few months she was restored to health. Mr. Harry Evans, a wholesale lumberman, located at 307 Winne building, Wichita, Kas., had what the best physicians called Bright's disease. The doctors could not give him any hope and he continued to get worse. He was also losing his eyesight from what was said to be paralysis of the optic nerve. He took treatment from Professor Samuels and began to improve from the very start. His eyesight came back, and all symptoms of Bright's disease left. After taking Professor Samuels' treatment he was examined by leading physicians, and they stated he had not 'the slightest trace of Bright's disease. Mr. Evans is known all over the country, a leading business man, whose word can be relied upon, and he would be glad to write or tell anyone of his experience with Professor Samuels. The young son of W. W. Lyon, located at Augusta, Kas, had been suffering for a long time with a severe case of asthma. He was treated by Professor Samuels, and is now in good health. In a recent letter Mr. Lyon writes: "It was the best investment I ever made." Mary A. Stout, who lives at Burlington, Kas, had what was pronounced to be a bad case of diabetes. This disease is pronounced incurable by regular practitioners. This case was treated by Professor Samuels. In a recent letter to Professor Samuels, she writes: "I feel well, and have no marks of diabetes. May God's richest blessing ever be with you." "Is it necessary for your patients to come to see you to be treated?" was asked. "No, my treatment can be sent by mail. Many of my patients come to see me, but it is not always necessary. My treatment is sent to hundreds, and, in fact, I am as successful in treating that way as though the patients were right here. To people from a distance who write me, an information blank is sent to fill out. In this way I am enabled to send them the treatment with full directions for its use." "I should think with your ability to cure you would be in a position to demand big money from your patients," remarked the interviewer. "No, I do not do that now. My charges, when the patients used to call on me in person used to be pretty high. I am getting old, and I feel that it is my duty in my last years to place my treatment in the hands of the poor as well as the rich. I believe that I owe a duty to mankind, and that as many people as possible, no matter what race or nationality, nor where located, should be benefited by my life's work. On this account I have reduced my charges so they are within reach of all. "My greatest aim in life from now on will be to relieve the lills of humanity, and when death shall claim me, I have arranged so that my secret will not die with me, but will be known, so that men in all ages to come will reap the reward of my life's work." Everyone who is sick, no matter what their troubles may be, should write Professor Samuels, room 152, Samuels Bldg., Wichita, Kas., for his "Message of Facts," and they will find something in it of interest to them.

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.

SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1910. The weather needs encouragement, that's all. More of the soft and dreamy right on Indiana avenue. Just call him the Aviator, the man that does the steering or driving, it will do all right. The sensible Negro is showing a marked disposition to "paddle his own canoe," politically. The Second Baptist church of Kansas City has raised $400 to send its pastor to Europe. Guess that's progress. The court has decided that the bar- ber shop law is invalid. It had a sickly appearance from the very be- ginning. The Negroes of Philadelphia again scored, knocking out the play "The Clansman," based on the known race antagonism. It seems that the last word is yet to be said on the Brownsville problem. Let justice be done, though the heavens fall! Editor Fortune said: "I was fully qualified," anent his arraignment of the conference. What has Bishop Gaines to say? J. C. Napier, the well known finance, would prefer seeing his name on the United States money; it's in his line, don't you know. The race question is developing some principles, one of which seems to be that where there is more liberty there is less occupation. The door of opportunity is not closed. We've been laboring under a delusion or hallucination or something. We've got to do things ourselves, that's all—it's the whole story. The New York Sun, in a recent editorial referring to "The Story of the Negro," by Booker T. Washington, said: "It will be listened to with respect in the South as well as in the North. He presents his facts and supports them by interesting examples." The summer schools for teachers at Tuskegee, Hampton, Durham and other places of convenient access, should be well patronized. This is an age that demands expert equipment along all lines of endeavor, and only the fittest can hope to survive amid the terrible competition. Go forward, young educators, by taking advantage of the golden opportunities that these institutions are offering at a minimum of cost. Mound Bayou is making a noise like a great big city. Such a push of energetic fellows has never assembled before on the same extent of ground. A beautiful book describing minutely the town is the latest thing. It is filled with illustrations. Men and enterprises are set forth in an attractive manner, with the vie wof winning strangers to the town. Nothing is left undone to make Mound Bayou what it should be—a first-class Negro city. Mayor Shank has been converted from his way of thinking concerning the celebration of the Fourth. It shouldn't be felt necessary to die in order to swear to one's patriotism, his Fourth of July patriotism at any rate. Of course no one starts in for being shot to pieces on that day, but why argue the case in face of the annual report? The day in this respect, celebrated as it has been, stands convicted on circumstantial evidence before the facts—giant firecrackers, little big cannons, etc. The assurance that Registrar W. T. Vernon is to be retained is good news. He is a remarkable man in many ways and has worked his way to the front by sheer merit and force of character. As an orator he has no superior in either race, and the administration will find him its best asset this fall, when an account of its stewardship is to be rendered to the brother in black. Dr. Vernon has always had the ardent support of The Freeman, and we hasten to congratulate him upon this new evidence of the success that has attended his high-purposed career in Washington. If the various parties care for the Negro vote this fall, they have a wonderfully backward way of indicating it. The wise colored man is growing independent of political bosses and parties, but he has no notion of getting out of the game. He is attending to his business, making a solid foundation in the professions and trades, but he will not be slow to grasp the issues intelligently at the proper time and cast his vote for the men and measures that seem best for the country and his people. The Negro's silence on political matters is ominous. It indicates that he is thinking—as a preliminary step toward action that may surprise somebody. President Thirkield's letter on the Sunday school parade exclusion in Washington has had a wide circulation, and has done a mint of good in allaying the feeling among some of our folks that no white person possesses a religion that can withstand the color line. At Howard University President Thirkield's broad Christian policy has infused a new life, a loftier spirit of brotherhood and unity of purpose, and his outspoken denunciation of the disgraceful attitude of the local "Christian (?) soldiers" at the nation's capital, has been of incalculable benefit to the uplifting work that real followers of Christ are carrying so grandly on. All honor to the Thirkields of this land! They are indeed the "salt of the earth." Our thoroughly dependable Washington correspondent shows a praise-worthy degree of poise and dignity in refusing to be drawn into petty disputes and useless controversies with the few two-by-four critics who make a practice of trying to misrepresent him on every possible occasion. They are wholly irresponsible, stand for nothing in the equation of race progress, and can attract attention only by their facility at mud-slinging and in the use of the valest billingsgate. Busy men have no time to waste on editorial fices and cut-throat writers, who seek cheap notoriety at the expense of the good name of the faithful workers of the race. The Freeman has a habit of allowing puppies to bark on and on unnoticed, and does not begrudge them any of the satisfaction they find in so doing; and we are glad to see our valued correspondents taking the same safe and sane course. CRUM CONSUL TO LIBERIA; APPOINTED BY PRES. TAFT Special to THE FREEMAN President Taft has nominated William D. Crum, of South Carolina, to be minister resident and consul general at Monrovia, Liberia. Crum is the Negro whose ancestors were from the coefactor of the port at Charleston, S. C., raised such a storm of protest in the South. TAFT WILL NOT REMOVE REGIMENT OF NEGROES The President has flatly refused to accede to a demand from the citizens of Seattle, Wash., transmitted through Senator Robert F. Kennedy, to infronty, colored, because a soldier is accused of attacking a white woman. The explanation of the reason which infronty contained in the following statement issued by Secretary Dickinson: "Senator Jones, of Washington, presently enlisted in this morning a telegram from S. S. Steiner, mass meeting held near Ft. Lawton, stating that a member of a Negro regiment there had committed an outrage and demanded a transfer of the Twenty-fifth regiment. The President stated that the request could not be complied with; that if any of the officers in the regiment were law they should be apprehended and turned over to the local authorities for punishment; that necessary discipline and the interest of the public required prompt investigation. "He added that the United States troops are to be stationed in the United States, and that they must be ment to see that they made as little disturbance as possible, but to remove them on unproved charges would be merely to give them a chance to might probably arouse a protest, from such community, and, that until there is a thorough investigation of the charges, the charges must be complete proof can be taken, the removal of the troops might not only withdraw witnesses, but possibly the guilty parties, from the courts having jurisdiction over them." "The secretary of war sent word to the commanding officer at Ft. Lawton, directing prompt and complete investigation, finding and arresting witnesses, if belonging to his command, and that in view of the state of feeling reported, his command should be confined strictly to the reservation pending report was ordered." COCKRAN MAKES ELOQUENT PLEA FOR LIFE OF NEGRO Former Congressman W. Bourke Cockran turned the race prejudice argument to account the other day in eloquently pleading for the life of a penniless Negro who was wrongly assigned him to defend. Mr. Cockran asserted that his client, Victor Nelson, had proved that his act in shooting and killing Claude Humphreys, another Negro, was one of self defense. He reminded the jurymen that all save one of them had said they had no prejudice against Negroes and that one was accepted because the defense felt that a man so honest in avowals would fair, and that no one should be prejudiced against the Negroes," said Mr. Cockran. "I feel it myself." "While you said you would treat this defendant without prejudice, and though you said that a dog that bites peer, yet it could be hardly expected to have any jury treat a Negro as a peer." "Then treat him as a dog." dramatically exclaimed the lawyer. "A dog that bites peer, that a dog that bites peer, in defense of his own master's home is a dog we protect. Give him the same shirriff you would give a dog." Assistant District Attorney McCormick summed up for the prosecution. GALVESTON, TEX. Special to THE FREEMAN THE FREEMAN.

BV CARY B. LEWIS. CHICAGO, June 7.—"Steel" Arm, Johnny Taylor, of the Chicago Giants, was the hero on last Sunday, in a game with the Chicago Bulls, pitching form and pitch eda no-hit game. The Indian Athletics were helpless and were unable to score. The game was quite a surprise, the team had to win by a record, but the Indian champions by such a large margin. Leland's colts were in splendid form. They knew that they were going up against a bunch of Indians, but the record or no record, he was going to pitch the game of his life. This he did. Not an Indian got as far as second base. Johnny Taylor was the team's star player. He has quite a way of holding up his right foot, twisting his toes and sending the sphere over the plate like lightning. Petway, the steady thrower, was at home plate to hold The Chicago Giants started off by making two scores in the first inning, one in the fourth one in the fifth and one in the seventh. All the scores were brought in by some excellent playing, a characteristic of the team, and the Giants were able to win. Petus was the sticker of the day. He was given the blue ribbon for knocking the ball away out in the field. He made a big play in the third. Wallace showed some great head work when he made the pitcher throw the ball to third, coming home like a flying man, and the catcher dropping the ball, seemingly dazed. Throughout the game the Indians showed poor judgment, the second and third basemen getting liners, but held the ball well. The Indians' occasional occasions kept the bases full for the Chicago Glants, and it was an easy matter to score by an easy bunt by the semi-professionals of the Yankees League. But the Indians seemed to completely lose their heads, their playing lacking energy and speed. The in and outfielding of the Glants was seen as a sign that Taylor's pitching was a bewildering assortment of spitters that the Indians will never forget. He sent ten men to the bench, and we believe could have sent The bleachers were crowded. The threatening weather did not have anything to do with the crowd. The grand staircase was in Gaud, filled with five women, with their company. Le兰 and Major Jackson claim that they expect to continue to have such crowds all the season, and, when the weather gets warmer, to double the attendance. The core: Saints R. H. H. O. A. E.

"Rube's sat on the bench, but Wickwear struck out fourteen men. The Giants fielded perfectly, no an error being made, while only two men reached base.

Baseball Gossip in Chicago All aboard for the Cuban Giants and the Chicago Giants on Sunday. Game called at 3:30. Get the habit of reading The Freeman. The Lelands play the Senecas next Sunday. Pryor, of the Leland Giants, is hitting the ball right along. Capt. Pete Hill is said to be the fastest outfielder in the game. Only one ball hit to the outer field off Wickware, and Capt. Hill captured it. Buckner, Monroe and Earl are some of the stars on the Brooklyn Royal Giants. Booker and Petway got 24 of the Le兰's 27 putouts. That's sure some record. Moran, the Cuban Stars' third baseman, has had several offers from big league teams. Billy Horn, of the Illinois Giants, has got his arm back, and is playing great ball these days. Danny McClellan, of the Philadelphia Giants, still holds his own as an all-round ball player. Pierce and Boles, of the Philadelphia Giants, are both good batters and hit the ball often. Albert Toney, Campbell and Jack Johnson are playing great ball for the Kansas City Royal Giants. Big crowds are finding their way every Sunday to Le兰's Park, Sixty-eighth and Halstead streets. The Le兰 Giants have won thirty-five straight games. They will have to get the Cubs to break the ice. Wickware, of the Foster team, is one of the best finds seen in this part of the country for many a day. Frank Leland says that they still have the Auburn Park. He says whenever they can't get that one, there are others. Pettus is one of the heaviest hitters in Chicago. A three-base hit on last Sunday was followed by two two-base hits. Manager Roy Wilson, in his best days, was the champion of the sacker of all teams. He is still in the game. In Second Baseman James, of the Philadelphia Giants, the team has one of the cleanest infielders in the game. In Hill, Duncan and Payne, the Leland Giants have an outer garden that even the White Sox would feel proud of. Every man on the Leland Giants team got a hit except "Dad" Johnson—certainly hard on any pitcher they go up against. Parpettis, the big first baseman of the Cuban Stars, is one of the best in the game. He is very clever with the stick. Winston is sure playing some left field. Muddy or dry field, he never fails to go up in the air after 'em and then hold 'em. "Cyclone" Williams was on the bench last Sunday. It is claimed that he has not lost a game this season. At any rate, he is the pitcher of the day. Harris, right, and Moore, center, are a pair of felders that are worth their weight the day the Meyers word now is, "They never miss 'em. They are just as clever at the bat as out in the field. For holding them down at second Wallace has but few equals. When he is mukked for wrist he gets 100 per cent. Top of the class, Wallace. Talbert is the man that helps to make those double plays, a good sticker and an all-round ball player. The Chicago Giants are fortunate in having a Talbert. Jack Johnson, the champion pitter-fighter, sends word that he reads The Freeze, the Meyers team, the sporting page. Glad you like it, Mr. Johnson. The Philadelphia Giants, while not the Giants of old, are away ahead in the number of games played this time last season. Fans around the town are eager to talk to the series between the Chicago Giants and the Leland Giants. Walt, boys; it's coming. The Cuban Stars are beating all the teams in town. Great bunch of ball players. They are fast and furious and know the game. Wyatt's Illinois Giants seem to have a shade the best of the Union Giants. They shut out the Elkins, 2 to 0. Johnson allowed only two hits. No-hit games are all the rage in Chicago. Taylor and Wickware have hung up their record. They expect to duplicate the same the next time they go in the box. Walter Ball and "Chappie" Johnson are about the swellest dressers in the game. They wear their clothes made at Adams, the tailor. "Hube" Foster is a patron of Mr. Adams. "Chappie" Johnson was on first last Sunday. He plays there as well as he does at home. There ain't no files on "Chappie." He is with the goods. Walter Ball won his game on last Saturday and was given a rest on Sunday. He will be in the box this week during the twenty-one series with the Cuban Giants. Gentlemanly baseball is what the Chicago people are going wild about. If you don't think it, just go out on Sunday to one of the colored games and see them in their professional form. Grace, Bethel and St. John teams are attracting a great deal of attention on Saturday at Washington Park. Young Nash put up a great game on last Saturday. The Leland Giants and the Chicago Giants in the White Sox game talk about the close of the season. Just say one of us. good seat in the press stand, for we will sure be on hand. Major R. R. Jackson, Frank Leland and Louis B. Anderson are all smiles when the grandstand gets full and the bleachers run over. Good ball playing will certainly attract the crowd. It's a delightful ride on Sunday out State street to Seventy-nine and get right out at Auburn Park and see it at the game of ball. The crowd last Sunday was a "peach." The boxes were filled with some of the most popular people in the city usual, there were those beautiful chandeliers, handsome gowns. If you don't believe it, go out next Sunday and see for yourself.

KANSAS CITY ROYALS AND TO PEKA GIANTS PLAYED BE- FORE 1,600 SUNDAY AT SHELLEY PARK The Kansas City Royal Giants started bad with the Topeka Giants, but finally become a puzzle in the first inning. The team was mercy. He was hit hard in the fifth inning. Topeka's second baseman, was the first one to hit innovation did not bring good result. Hardy, who seemed to have the burschlein mercy, he was hit hard in the fifth inning. Topeka's second baseman, was the first one to hit innovation from an error made by the first baseman, which made Toney safe at first. Milliner, the royals center fielder, was the next one to hit. Warner comes to base running he is in Class A two-bagger, placing Toney on third. Jackson Johnson was the next man up, who seemed to have the pitcher's work up his head to obliterate the pitcher to bring it over which he would Johnson for a two-base hit, scoring Toney Milliner. Sterman, the Royals' left fielder, was the next man up, who put the ball into the box, saving the score 5 to 1 in favor of the Kansas City Royal tern known as Peanuts, the Royalts third baseman, who is making one of the greatest bunters in the country. The fans in Kansas City are going wild about the Kansas City Royals, having the score 5 to 1 will meet the Kansas City, Kansas City series of three games, Saturday and Monday, June 11 and 13, at Shelley Park Sunday, June 12, at Riverside Park, Kansas City, as both teams are a shutout to their credit.

CHICAGO, Ih, June 8.—Tt_ was a great week at Mott's “Theater, last week, and the people are still talking about “Consul the Btonk.” ‘This eight-year-old monkey, born in South America, and with much ‘training and patience given it as the ordi- ‘nary. child, brought out the largest attend- ance in the history of the. theater. So great was the act that Manager, Mots Tas received hundreds of requests for the return of "Consul the Great.” and it may be that he will play a return engagement. ‘Another large crowd was. present. at Mott's Theater on Monday night, and wit- nessed a very pleasing show. ‘The, ‘Ten Georgia Campers headed the bill. ‘They have been seen in this elty before and aire great favorites. Bowen and Jones are the leaders. ‘The costumes of the ten peo- ple are new and flashy. ‘They sing cho- ruses of the "Dixie Land” nature, and this is recelved with much applause. Brown and Jones do a-soft foot dance, handsomely, costumed, which proves a hit of the evening. ‘They close with “South Before the War" buck and wing dancing, therefore pleas- ing a large number of the Pekin's clien- tele ‘that like this kind ‘of stage work. ‘The "Ten Georgia Campers have “made good” and will be @ strong attraction the remainder of the week, and will no doubt draw large crowds on Saturday night, Sunday matinee and Sunday night. Last, week there was the trained mon- key. This week Is the. trained "dom. Frankie La Marche, as Buster Brown, and ‘Tige will not be’ forgotten.

She very. clev- erly imitated Lillian Russell and Chaun- cex Olcott, ‘The act went very big. Brooks and Brown, two of the old Pekin Stock Company players, was one of the features of the evening.’ ‘They are favor- tes in Chicago, and appeared at thelr best. “Some of ‘These Days,” a new rag sons, was one of the most catchy numbers of the evening. It was certainly appreciated, judging from the manner in which the large audience applauded. Miss Brown has the proper attitude and motions that go along with such songs, and Mr. Brooks, Of the Bert Williams style of comedy, gets & some. poetry that” proves a. scream, ‘They dance and sing well. The Sully Duo, comedy spring board ac- Tobats, was an opening act that consumed fifteen’ minutes. High jumping and spring- ing from a board and turning over and over are feats in their work. ‘The Venetian Four, a musical act, was one of the best numbers of the evening. ‘Three violinists open with this number. followed by a Venetian scene, with a harp- ist playing Italian airs. Several numbers Of class were given, and they closed with “Manda Lane” and other popular numbers, The whole bill was a good one. and, to sav the least, it was not @ bad one to fol- low “Consul the Monk.” ‘The music from the orchestra was well recelved, also the new moving pictures.

Truck Gardening at Its Best Under Best Supervision. Perhaps one of the most interesting departments to the many visitors who are so often honoring us with their presence is the nursery, situated in the southwestern part of the school, next to the little village known as Greenwood, bringing into details it might be in recessing to the reader to note that the first industry which was started at the school was farming. It was started on a small scale in the year 1883, on the land of a farmer, and the canning factory now stand. The farm at that time consisted of about forty acres, raising only such things that might be used for food, and also included in this limited number of acres. To-day the farm consists of 2,400 acres, divided about as follows: 100 acres cultivated for fruit and 900 fruits, 963 acres devoted to general farming, 795 acres devoted to woodland and other purposes, and 80 acres used as a truck garden, which supplies both the fruit and the fruit. A great deal, if not all, of the credit for the present condition of the truck garden is due to Mr. C. W. Greene, who is now in charge of the division, Mr. Greene, who is now in charge of the division, Mr. Greene, who is now in charge of the division, after his graduation from the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institution. After having been an instructor on the farm one or two years, he was then placed in the position of director of the agricultural department by Mr. Geo. W. Bridgeforth. After having been in this position for four or five years, where he served in a most creditable manner, it was then, or soon afterwards, that the school decided that a good teacher was needed, and what is now known as the truck garden, one of the most important divisions of the school. After looking around for quite a while for a good, substantial man, he was then hired, and wanted, it was unanimously decided that no better man could be found than Mr. Greene. He was then placed in this position, where he has remained ever since. As it has been already stated the truck garden is the textile of the soil, for the most part, is a sandy loam, rolling and undulating. Where fertilized it will produce three to four crops each year, as many different vegetables of the common kind handled in this colony. Many of the Fracula family, such as rutabagas, collards and rape, thrive very well in this climate. It might be well to state in this comparison that the past year, 90,457 pounds of greens, 340 dozen bunches lettuce, 2,000 dozen bunches of onions, 2,577 dozen bunches of rutabagas and turnips, 2,740 dozen ears of green corn, 2,670 men's shirts and 1,600 potatoes and 700 dozen egg plants. One can now readily see the advantage and necessity of having such a man as Mr. Greene in charge of such an important position. His division runs daily three wagons, one carrying vegetables to the dining hall and the others to the city and vicinity of the school. The writer was told that Mr. Greene would graze between 3:30 and 5:30 in the morning. There are at present thirty energetic young men in this division, touching every phase of the work. A student succeeding well may finish the work and a student succeeding poorly may receive eight young men who will receive their certificates, with diplomas, this year. It is very pleasing to note that the greater proportion of the young men who finish from this department have continued working at their Mention might be made of one or two who are doing exceptionally good work. For instance, Mr. Shanklin, who received both his diploma and certificate, is doing much praise cannot be given Mr. Shanklin for the wonderful success he has made since his graduation. Mr. Jinkins also is doing excellent work trucking for the Vorschella School, in South Carolina. Mr. Shanklin, who is a graduate, who received his diploma, doing a very good work near Mobile, Ala. Mr. Wallace Hayes is also doing an excellent work in trucking for the Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute, and last, but by no means least, for the Improvement Companla, located in this county, whose work speaks for itself. The wise trucker who is seeking a suitable place to start his truck farm, finds a fertile spot near some thirtyft away from his success depends almost wholly upon the number of people he supplies with vegetables. He also situates his business near the city, where that his success depends almost wholly upon the number of people he supplies with vegetables. He also establishes truck garden and planted many kinds of vegetables, he then purchases one or two neatly built vegetable wagons. These wagons are sent out to the city to be used in different sections of the city. The city people always prefer buying vegetables fresh from the wagons. The vegetables are stored in the city's well-arranged wagon that increases the customer's appetite. Only the truckers who pay the proper lowest rate to small farmers that his success mountain is but a combination of atoms" E. DAVIDSON WASHINGTON. AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE, NORMAL ALA.

JACK JOHNSON BROUGHT DOWN TO DATE. there will be a fight ac- At any rate, there will be a fight, acceding to the authority of the five-five-road go having issued. This happy piece of information has acted somewhat as an on the waters, yet it is said all is not as serene as might be, that is, in John- son's calm. Says information, speaking of Johnson, there isn't a man connected with the establishment who hasn't a grouch. The joy is a great big 0-10-second power rail car, in which Johnson has been doing considerable "training." George Little. Johnson's manager, is sure because Johnson insists on keeping his automobile around. He will paint it, thing out of business if Johnson doesn't quit riding about in it. He "don't mind him driving his car, for there is little danger that he will get hurt. But this big car is a constant menace. Why, it would break chine if it bobbled." The management is looking after all the big men it can get to spar with Johnson. The champion will be delighted to meet Corbett, whom he will meet in exhibitions. in one. The fact that Johnson so eagerly expounded a desire to meet Corbett started a war of words between the fictional giants. Corbett started a war of words with Jeff wooled Johnson inside of fifteen because the Negro is flatfooted, doesn't know how to fight and has a yellow streak. Johnson replied that Corbett was a cornbelt. Corbett replied by offering to be 15,000 (real money) that he would go to Johnson's training camp and put on the gloves with the Negro. Little statement is the latest word. It is a foregone conclusion that Tex Rickard will reference Johnson-jeffries fight, a makeshift to shift, to be dawned when the fighters agree," he said. "I shall referee. There are his 'if's or 'and's, I conferred with Johnson before I, and the proposition if I withdrew, and Johnson said I would be satisfactory to him. You can therefore take it from me that the Tex Rickard will be the third man in the ring on --- Former Lightweight Champion Nelson says that if everything is up and up, Jack Johnson will win. Nelson, however, does not think very much of Billy Nolan, who is a manager in the Johnson team. Nelson says what he is talking about. Johnson is not dismayed; he knows pretty much what to do himself. Managers are more or less ornamental for him. Governor Gillett of California created a little scare the other day, or rather, a report said to have come from the Governor, created a little scare, which allowed the forthcoming fight was mighty frame-up and his son's nothin' better. The rumor can move true then he will give his end of the money to clarity. The general managers think that the Governor has been misrepresented. They say verification of the Governor's alleged interview before they will bother about saying anything in the way of a reply. "I hardly think that Governor Gillett talked that way. If he did, however, I want to say this much for you, my niece. And of this will be willingly turned over to any clarity if it can be shown that I am a party to any conspiracy formed for the purpose of hoodwinking or victimizing the party and any contest if I had reason to believe that my opponent or any one connected with it contemplated jobbery. I have watched this pretty clever side of it has any idea of taking. It seems to me there is not a thing in the connection which warrants the suspicion that it is not to be a fair, stand-up match." The Governor has since denied the report that the fight was for her. He said, the whole mess and heartily sick of the whole mess, and declines to submit to any more interviews on the fight, as he says they are distorted and he is made to say He wishes the fight might have been held in some other State, since it has attracted so much unfavorable comment and criticism every city during his Eastern trip. As far as venturing an opinion on the outcome or as to the honesty and squareness of his views, he said that personal views he expressed on prize fighting in general were distorted so as to make him say the Jerrries-Johnson match was crooked from the begin- JOHNSON TALKS OF HIMSELF.

I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of rigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame hands, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains or follicles, that has cured so much worm and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many powers, ability, strength, and quietly should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest-acting contraption for the cure of deficient manhood and I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that any man anywhere who is weak and disorganized with repeated failures may stop sending himself with a harmful patent medicine. I am a quickest-acting, restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. I just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E. Burcham $33.99 to Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary doctoree free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing the prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. cation arising concerning the management of the club.

TEX RICKARD, REFEREE "I'll referee the fight unless there's a flood, and that goes. No one is going to chase me out of this job unless it's with me if we get it. You're going to iron myself if it comes to that. They decided upon me and I are going through with it. All this talk about Eddie Smith and Eddie Graney is the bull-durham. Don't fall for that for a second. Texas has a lot of people who job up to the queen's taste. Neither man will be favored by me. The moving pictures will show that.

Jim Smith Surprises Light Heavy weight in New York Fight. Joe Peanette, the light heavyweight, fresh from honors in Paris and with ambitions to become the heavyweight champion, said he would earn as much as a draw from Jim Smith, a newcomer, in a ten-round bout at the National Sporting Club. Smith was older and longer than Smith, but the latter was so clever and fast that Jeanette had to extend himself to the limit to save a defeat. There were two champions and both men were strong at the finish. HOT SPRINGS, ARK. HOT SPRINGS, Ark. May 31—Just a line from the Reds of Hot Springs.

Few men know more about fitting a man for a prize-rise battle than Tom O'Rourke. For many men in every class of fighters, in including such champions as George Dixon and Joe Wailcott. As an expert in such matters he has issued a guide to the coming Jeffries-Johnson fight is worthy of consideration. O'Rourke is very deeded in his claim ring in the condition he is sent into the ring in the condition he believes can be attained by proper and intelligent training. He says. I must have to put many provisions in my opinion regarding defries. I think he will win and would have no doubt of it, providing he has some good man training him like Bill Delaney, a present president of the wrestling club him who know less than he does himself about putting a man in shape for a long battle, which this is likely to be. Should he go stale in his training Johnson will "If Jeffries gets a good man with him—one of the Delaney experience—who can tell his condition any hour and who can keep him for a few days, who can tell Jeffries will whip. I think it will be a long fight and may go the limit. I feel sure that Jeffries can get in condition if properly handled. He is in the prime of life and has never dissipated." "Johnson is a very clever man and has the principle of fighting down to a science. He fights as a man is taught and should fight. He lacks in aggressiveness, which is not a fault. As to his gameness I can say nothing, never having seen an example of it. He is game he will be haunted." To get somewhat of a line on the probable gate receipts of the Jeffries-Johnson fight O'Rourke was asked the amount of the largest gate receipt he would have given from his pocket and, opening it, pointed to a page on which was written: "Jeffries-Sharkey, Nov. 3, 1900, $87,760 for any fight ever held in this country," said O'Rourke, "and the amount would have been much larger than the weather been favorable. The advance people on the bleachers owing to the bad night and the poor travelling accommodations to Coney Island. I firmly believe that with all things favorable there would have been no trouble in the night." Judging from these figures it is almost a sure thing that a phenomenal gate will be the result of the coming fight, as much larger arena than the arena and there is little question that the prices for seats will be doubled. It is the prospect of such an enormous sum being forthcoming that is causing all the trouble between moters andatticism as to the prices of the arena, which may not be settled for some time.
