XXIII. NUMBER 25 DR. W. D. CRUM HAS BEEN APPOINTED TO LIBERIA There is a rumor affair that Dr. Lyon will be given an appointment in this country, but his friends say that he is not a lawyer. He will be an assistant for either the Registrationship of the Treasury or any other place at the time his name was mentioned in this connection some time ago. He will be a lawyer in Maryland, in accord with plans formulated long ago, and will devote much if his time to church, with his family, church with which he has been prominently identified for many years. Dr. Lyon's recall is no reflection upon the character of his laborers in Monrovia. His department firmly approved by the State Department. . . . Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds is at his home in Atlanta, recuperating from a delicate nasal operation and is now undergoing a difficult battle. His health is improving and his return to his post is expected within the next fortnight at least. He is making progress in his medical force as he found the organization perfected under Mr. John C. Dany all that could be desired. Mr. Robert W. Dutton remains as chief deputy. Mr. W. D. Johnson, special agent of the Office of the station, is the city for an audited examination and may remain permanently. It is stated that Mr. Johnson, who is an experienced journalist, is the author of paper in the journal which will be understudied by the official spokesman of the Taft administration. Mr. W. Clarence Hueston, a leading member of the bar of Kansas City, Mo., has been in the city several days of this year and is an affable entertainer, an eloquent orator and his winning personality has made for him a host of friends during his brief journey in the city's capital. He has been a number of notable functions have been given in his honor. On Monday he was a dinner guest of Register and Mrs. W. T. Hathaway, the famous Kentucky sculptor; Wednesday he was entertained by Dr. and Mrs. John F. Hurst at the financial department of the A. M. E. church; Thursday he was a Childs director of music at Howard University; Friday, luncheon with Assistant Attorney James A. Cobb, and Frist dinner, our he was an old school cook; dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson; Saturday he was guest of Judge and Mrs. Robert H. Terrell at a box party to witness the dinner, our he was a school cooks; Sunday, breakfast with Mr. Charles E. Hall, winding up Dr. and Mrs. Arthur S. Gray, winding up Monday with him, with Mr. C. Leo Smith of Baltimore, who has gone out into the growing West and "made good." For some time he has been the local representative of the city committee in charge of the interests of City and vicinity, and the Kansas City Star has made editorial comment upon what as a man and a citizen who has the highest the ideals in thought, morals and everyday problems that the race must post. Mr. Hueston addressed the Y. M. Lexington, KS., Sunday and is working in the way by easy stage management in home in Kansas City to visit Washington and had a very satisfactory interview with the Magistrate of the nation. It is worth mentioning that the very few colored leaders who have visited Washington with no desire for pub- --- Another visitor of prominence who has made a good impression upon Washington B. G. Shaw, presiding elder of the Chicago district of the A. M. E. church. He came to commencement exercises of Livingstone college at Salisbury, N. C., where he had conferred JUN 18 1910 upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity, he was awarded Sunday morning at John Leslie's, and in the evening he spoke at Trinity. He is a rising young man in his church and there is a hint that his sermons here were of such a rare quality that a call will be coming at an early date. Dr. Shaw is also very favorably mentioned in connection with one of the principal offices that will be filled by the Zion General Conference at Charlotte in 1912. It is expected that the bill to reimburse the depositors of the Freedmen's Bank for the expenses of the Congress. The support of the Democratic members is being brought to the measure, and they seem very favorably disposed toward a bulk of the million or dollar appropriation will be distributed throughout the Southern States among a thrifty and industrious class of colored people, who will make a contribution to the House and homes. The Senate committee has voted to recommend its passage and the House will take similar action and the House will take similar action. To make assurance doubt sure, over New York, the Senate will urge him to vote for the measure when it come up for action. Denial is again made that Mr. Emmett J. Scott, private secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, will relinquish his position at Tuskegee Institute to accept an important post in Washington by stating with emphasis that there is no place open to him at the nation's capital that he would have, and announces his intention to stick to his life's work—the task of upbuilding the nation's capital. Mr. South—and to push on the great enterprise which he has been helping the "wizard" for lo, these many years to place upon a firm foundation. Mr. Scott was not a candidate for the Liberian mission, but he was a member of the office of Recorder of Deeds or Registrar of the Treasury. ... Mr. Charles Steward, the globe-trotting representative of the Associated Press and general correspondent, better known in the journalistic circles of the race as *Col. Bob Steward*, the *National Negro Ledger*, Baltimore, delivered a highly entertaining and inspiring lecture Thursday evening at the Metropolitan Baptist church. His subject was "Sambo Waxed Knife." He was a native of the closest attention of his large audience with an artistic admixture of humor and pathos that sent every one away feeling that he had been both amused and in shock. New paper of the church, presided and the speaker was introduced by Mr. R. W. Thompson. Mr. Steward left immediately for New York, from which point he sailed for Edinburgh. Scotland to attend the World's Religious Conference. Washington's principal editors, correspondents and newspaper workers general correspondent, attended an dinner at an early date. A feature of the occasion will be a "heart-to-heart" discussion of the outlook for the New York convention of the National Negro Press . . . Mr. Henry A. Rucker, Jr., of Atlanta, Ga., eldest son of the popular Collector of Internal Revenue at that point, has assumed his duties here as a clerk in the Office. Mr. Frank Turner of Dumapallus, Ind., is also here the commission. Miss Cora J. Hawkins of Chicago, Ill., conceded to be one of the most proficient typewriters and stenographers in the Census Office, was promoted last week from $1,200 to $1,400 per annum. At the Friday night meeting of the Mu-So-Lit Club it was decided to give a "stag" on Tuesday evening, August 23, as a feature of the open-handed hospitality which the representative citizens of the capital will extend to the stenographers. The National Medical Association, which will be in session here at that time, the readiness with which the organization agreed to take a prominent part in welcoming new members to Dr. M. Curtis, the energetic and much loved president of the Mu-So-Lit Club, is largely responsible for the record this city makes in enclosing the great wealth of the nation, who have had at their previous sessions the very best that other cities could offer. Dr. Curtis has been a tower of strength to the association as the chairman of the secretary of the national is very favorably mentioned in connection with the presidency of the national. The address of Mr. George W. Els, its secretary, is the future of the black republic was a masterly cott and was greatly appreciated. Rev. Sylvester L. Corrothers, who has just been returned to the pastorate of the Graibraith A. M. E. Zion church for the eighth year, has been invited by the eighth Council of his denomination for the seat on the Zion Bench of Bishops, made vacant by the death of Bishop M. R. Franklin of Atlanta, Ga. It is evident from the address given by the already gathered around him that he will be a formidable factor in the race at Charlotte, N. C., in 1912. . . . Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the well-known exclousionist, is again in Pittsburgh, reading the proofs of her forthcoming "Book of Recitations and filling incidental passages," in Monongahela district, where she enjoys a widespread popularity. The book is to contain a hundred or more of varied selections of the higher grade of literature, especially adapted to the needs of the dramatic reader who faces the most cultured audiences, and will be handsomely illustrated. Portraits of Frederick Douglass, her earliest patron, will adorn the pages. The "Foreword" will be by R. W. Thompson and will be accompanied by a likeness of his own. The plans an extended tour of Europe and will visit Africa, including Liberia, Sierra Leone and points on the Gold Coast. The Independent Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World will hold its session in this city next month, beginning on the 26th. The leaders of both of the heretofore warring factions of the elite will attend, and the agreement entered into by the dele- SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE THE ILLUSTRATE Before a Full Fountain. gates to the "peace conference" at Wilmington a few weeks ago, the outcome of the approaching meeting will be a perennial topic, known as the Howard and the Atkins factions. The meeting will bring to the city several hundred of the most substantial men of the race, hailing from every sector and people in what have been King and J. E. Collins will extend the glad hand in royal fashion to all who come. The trial of Capt. S. P. Lyon of the 25th Infantry on charges growing out of the alleged conflicting statements made before the Senate investigating committee and the court of inquiry as to the ammunition raid, is to begin at Fort Myer, Va., June 20. The court-martial, with Capt. C. R. Howland as judge advocate, waded by Gen. Hoe, commanding the Department of the War Department. The detail for the court includes no member of the infantry arm, hence no charge of unfair treatment can pass on the case. They represent the cavalry, artillery and engineer corps. Some sensational developments are expected to be brought out in this investigation. Rev. L. A. Carter of Knoxville, Tenn., recently appointed chaplain in the army, has been confirmed by the Senate. By order of the War Department, he has been appointed at Fort Ethan Abbott. He succeeds Rev. W. T. Anderson, retired on account of ill health. Chaplain Carter will be washing shortly and will be given a warm reception by his Tennessee friends. A delegation of Washingtonians will go to Wilmington on the Fourth of July to participate in the great mass-meeting which will be addressed by Dr. Booker T. Washington. This conference includes a speaking tour of the State of Delaware. This tour will be under the general direction of Dr. Samuel G. Elbert, a leading business man of Wilmington. Dr. Elbert will lead business leagues throughout the State. Dr. Elbert is conversant with the needs of his people and enjoying as he does their highest respect and confidence, he will have a large following and give the masses a treat that they will long remember. ... The officers of the general committee which will have charge of the arrangements for the entertainment of the National Medical Association are as follows: Dr. W. S. Lofton, chairman; J. W. Mitchison, vice chairman; Dr. J. C. Dowling, assistant secretary; Dr. G. W. Cabaniss, treasurer. Executive Board of Management and Control; Drs. J. H. Johnson, W. C. McNeill, Dr. J. C.

The place of holding the principal sessions will soon be announced. The great promenade at Convention Hall on the Thursday night of the association season will be the most famous place held in this city since the inaugural ball. Work will be resumed on the Y. M. C. A. as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. The fund of $50,000 needed to finish and furnish has been pledged, and it is not thought there will be any difficulty in making the collections promptly as they will be completed and will stand as a --- . . . model for all other institutions of the kind to be established by the race in other sections of the University. Great credit is due to Lewis E. Bolden, the founder for his work in engineering the recent campaign. It marks the beginning of another campaign of salvation for the young colored men of this long-neglected community. Noted visitors in town this week have included Mr. B. J. Davis, editor of the Independent, Atlanta, Ga.; P. B. Young, editor of the Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. Charles W. Kansas the author, of Cleveland, O.; Bishop J. S.

He reports that the Zionites have just acquired a fine $60,000 edifice in Philadelphia, which places the connection on a higher plane than ever before in the history of the United States. He gone to Salisbury, N. C., to attend the commencement exercises of Livingstone College. Word comes from Bishop G. W. Clinton that the tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington through North Carolina, planned for June, has been postponed until fall, as it is the desire of Dr. Washington to visit at this season of the year the majority of them will be closed. The trip will positively be undertaken in the early fall, and will be of great value to the people of both the towns of North Carolina and Bishop Clinton will be in charge of the party. A new normal school is to be built for colored students and the town is greatly divided as to the location for the school, educational quadrangle about Howard Hill, monizing with Howard University, the new Mott School, Freedmen's Hospital and the Howard Medical School. Others think this is Negro population. Petitions for and against the Howard Hill site are being circulated. The Citizens Association, the school question, is making preparations for a mass-meeting about the end of the month, at which time the whole matter is dressed out. The Marshal presides over the Nell will be secretary. Mrs. A. M. Curtis is among those actively opposing the uptown site. The Howard Parkites are for it tooth and toenail. By the action of the executive committee of the board of trustees of Howard University, he has been an occasional lecturer in the law department of the institution, will continue in that capacity during the coming year. He has been a success and the results are encouraged over his clean-cut exposition of legal points. His series of lectures on the "Power of the Inferior Courts" was especially well received. The court will well prepare grading about Science Hall, which will be ready by the opening of school in the fall. Flag Day was observed in all of the schools of the District Tuesday. The four colored divisions and the high schools had colored speakers of ability, who told the students about the Street High School, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell was the speaker; at Armstrong, Mr. Charles E. Lane delivered the ad, and Mrs. Mary Church No. 2 Lieut. T. H. R.

(Bureau 2339 State St.) Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, Ill., June 14—Politics in the city of Chicago is brewing, and that very fast. While there are no indications of public meetings, yet things are assuming themselves very freely and even the leader of the Second ward has come out with a statement. Leaders in the various are expressing themselves very freely and even the leader of the Second ward has come out with a statement. Chancey Dewey, leader of the famous Second ward has just been reported to hake the following statement: All candidates for senator, state representatives and persons residing in the Second ward, are being appointed to the county ticket should come into the regular Republican organization and submit their claims to the executive committee for endorsement and be willing to saddle the committee with the demands of the committee. Those most worthy and deserving need have no fear, as the committee will be absolutely unhampered by either side of higher influences. I am confident that the committee will return to and remain, especially, will return to and remain the Republican organization, because every perfectly sane and unselfish colored Republican realizes the movements there is nothing for the colored people to gain by the movement movements, or following false moses. Mr. Holt is fast gaining the reputation that he can serve the people without over charging and his room is filled with up to fifty cents per night. It is located right in the heart of the colored district, convenient to the courtyard, the street and the office lines. Mr. Holt is a fine gentleman in disposition and temperament and cordially welcomes customers on the merits of his place. The Freeman highly endorses the Brunswick to the traveling pub- ... Miss Marie Burton, Chicago's famous soprano singer has written the following article on "Rose Malden," that was rendered Monday night at the Chicago Music Club. The church was crowded with Chicago's elite and music lovers. It was the greatest musical that has been given this season. The orchestra was composed among four members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, prepared with precision and harmony. The tone and sweetness of each instrument was easily distinguished. Mr. Kemper Herrard deserves much credit for the securing of a commission. The church was grand and showed evidences of much training. Much credit is due Prof. P. T. Tinsley who has given his best corts to the organization since 1891. The chorus was not melodic and shading, but accuracy of time, a virtue that marks "The Choral Study Club." The soprano solist of the evening was Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, she sang and has had the best soprano training of any singer in the city. She sang with expression and sweetness and her carriage, breathing, appearance, fact everywhere in "Rose Malden" is long and by no means easy, but the way Mrs. Anderson rendered the part showed her to be an artist of the first rank. Her voice was clear and reached the highest notes with perfect ease. Mrs. Anderson is a post graduate of the Oscar's Music Institute. Dellia Riggs, Riggs, sang contrata Public Library 149 part and like Mrs. Anderson, was well received and loudly applauded. She showed culture and artistic training. Her voice was rich and full, especially in her lower voice, and she was able to show appreciation of her singing which is an evidence that Chicago music lovers are advancing in the appreciation of the higher art. Mr. W. M. Hockney, a tenor singer of Washington, D. C., has played club several times before, made quite an impression with his pleasing voice and fine stage appearance. His voice was clearer than ever and he reached the ever higher note he not only knew how to take high notes to sustain them and the audience did not fail to liberally applaud. Mr. Theo Taylor sang the baritone and he demonstrated that he was well fitted to the piano and that he accompanied the accompanist, was very clever at the piano, it being seen that she was an indispensable member of the club. Five hundred of Chicago's swellest people are an ideal night and young society people are present and had reserved seats. The club is very grateful to the citizens of Chicago for turning out in such large numbers and showing their appreciation by applauding the numbers of the solosists and the choruses. SING.NG MEMBERS.

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 flickering 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.; Newwirk, Okla.; Ponca 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 Newwirk 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 can't issue 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 240 North Main street, Wichita, 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 im- provement the very first day. She gained in weight until she weighed 150 pounds, her usual weight. Mr. I. 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. Mrs. Josie Townsend, of Geary, Okla, writes: "I feel that I owe you my life, for when I commenced treatment with you a few months ago I had been given up to die. I had been sick for twenty- four years and had been treated by some of the best doctors in Kansas and Oklahoma, but they could do me no good. When you commenced to treat me I had one large sore on my leg, which was sore to the bone, and several small sores around it, and just the least bit of work would burst a vein and I would almost bleed to death. I was all bloated up with dropsy and could not sleep; would almost smother at times. Every one claimed that I could not live, and I thought so myself, as I could hardly walk around the house. My feet and hands were almost paralyzed and are now so that I can use them again, and God knows I thank you more than I can tell. Professor, you are a wonder. All the people here who know me, just look at me and say: "Is it possible that this can be you, and all the medicine you used was the drops in your eyes?" 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 Samuels. 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 Samuels' 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 pay, are higher. 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 pay for the charges, possible, no matter what race or nationality, nor where located, should be benefited by my life's work. On account I have charged so they are within reach of all." "My greatest aim in life from now on will be to relieve the lills of humanity, and I will do that by finding a ranged so that my secret will no die with me, but will be known, so that men in all ages to come will reap the reward in them. 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" to find something in it of interest to them.

E-AWAKE DEPUTIES— 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 frying 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.

The subject of the sermon was "Heavenly Visions." The theme was handled in a masterful way. The speaker added in a laid stress on the importance of lives of service his notable utterances were, "He lives best who serves most; the greatest, noblest, is who ministers best and most to his day where he transforms. The vision may not here be transformed. The vision may not be here attained, but the striving and reaching for, but make us better." Remember that true merit lies not in success, but in devotion. The devoirs will be honored and crowned." The speaker was eloquent. His peroration was a gem. His sermon was considered by critics to have been perhaps the finest sermon ever written.

Make the managers know what you are doing by advertising in the Free-man theatrical and sporting number to be issued July 9. Now is the time! The flying'men held the attention of Indianapolis and vicinity this week. The "Back-from-Washington" Club is again showing signs of restlessness. Last Tuesday was the 123d anniversary of the birth of the American flag. The day was quietly observed, yet sufficient to make for the permanence of the sign and for the thing signified. Those who go to Washington in quest of offices seldom come back with anything more substantial than a "satisfactory interview." Maybe that is better than nothing, however. The permanently successful leader does not cajole his enemies at the expense of his friends. He places a premium upon loyalty, and is not deceived by bluff, deception and intrigue. Dr. Booker T. Washington and his son David were in Chicago last week, taking in the sights. He stopped at a news stand and purchased, among a few other publications, The Freeman. The little vanity on our part will be excused, but we do like it known at times just who our patrons are. It has been learned that several Negro preachers have been collecting money from members of their congregations to placate in Halley, whose comet is now in the West. Money was to be given Halley to guide the comet clear of the earth. And poor, dear Mr. Halley has been dead for so many years. Just think of it! Not infrequently the biggest load a leader has to carry is a bunch of superserviceable "friends," who make a mess of his best-intentioned efforts through pursuing a narrow-guaged policy which disgusts and alienates useful men who would normally be pleased to give him their heartiest support. Here is looking at the polished and thoroughly competent Mr. Charles Dyer Norton, the newly appointed secretary to the President. We bespeak for him a brilliant administration as "Assistant President." He knows "who is who and what is what," without which knowledge no private secretary can hope to be a success. The Freeman's editorial last week on "Booker T. Washington Simply a Good Citizen," has been warmly praised by oral and written expressions from persons of influence and standing in both races. It is the purpose of this spokesman of 100,000 progressive Negroes of America to take high ground upon all questions of the hour and to give every man, woman and child a "square deal." We thank our friends for their good opinion of us. The Freeman hopes that the Octoroons will push their legal advantage by disregarding the customary barriers, as it is the right thing to do, under the circumstances. The Freeman further thinks that a law ought to be enacted compelling the white man to marry his black sweetheart—or, with her, be banished to some isolated island, where they may be free to carry on their illicit relations, and never again to be permitted to approach the shores of christian civilization, thereby both races would get rid of a disease as horrifying as the leprosy. In justice to a common humanity, the Freeman trusts the decision will stand. Let the white man bear his own burdens. A MISTAKE CORRECTED Mr. J. E. Bush, of Little Rock, Ark, and his many friends, will please kindly excuse us for using Bishop Clinton's cut to illustrate his (Mr. Bush's) mention in the past issue of this paper. We likewise beg pardon of Bishop Clinton. We have hastened to correct the blunder by inserting the cut of Mr. J. E. Bush in its proper place in this issue of The Freeman. TO BE REMOVED. Financial Agent Stinson of Morris Brown College. It appears that Financial Agent Stinson of the Morris Brown College of Atlanta, Ga., got in bad when he attempted to have the present college site sold. His object for selling was that a different site be purchased, and where industrial features could be incorporated with the institution. Stinson was supported in the movement by Bishop H. M. Turner. The movement, however, did not meet with favor. According to report Stinson's plan was opposed by Bishop C. S. Smith of Detroit, Mich., chairman of the board of trustees; E. W. Lee, president of Morris Brown, and T. N. M. Smith of Savannah. It is needless to say that the question caused intense feeling, and through the heated discussion the old question of industrial versus classical education showed up right along. Bishop Turner made a strong plea for the proposed change, insisting that it would be beneficial to the institution's future. The power of the trustees to confirm such a sale was questioned, and the matter was finally sidetracked by leaving the question up to the different congregations of the church for decision and final action. The shot that told was when T. N. M. Smith of Savannah offered a resolution asking that R. D. Stinson, who has been the financial agent of the college for several years, be deposed from that office, and that C. A. Wingfield of Detroit, a graduate of the college, be appointed in his stead. At this time it is not quite so sure about the deposing of Stinson, yet it is probable that the financial agent is no more as such of Morris Brown College. It is said that he will endeavor to carry out his design at any rate, establishing a school in the vicinity of Atlanta modeled after Tuskegee. PARIS, KY. Special to THE FREEMAN The Rev. G. R. Bryant, pastor of St Paul M. E. church, has just returned from Jackson, Tenn., where he preached the first Sunday service. He also preached the Colored M.

He also makes a visit to the city in New Haddam. He is one of the leading headwaters in the country, having charge of the finest hotel in the South. He saw both the colored teams play, and it was his opinion that the team would be bored team in the country. Mr. McLane has much experience with teams, professionals of both races coming to Jacksonville for winter quarters. The Leland Giants were there last season, and were highly entertained by the team, which is dedicated to him he will go again next season. While here Mr. McLane was shown Chicago by Mr. Foster.

Denlson, Robert T. Motts, Jesse Binga, and others were out in their automobiles to witness the game between the Chicago Giants and the Cuban Stars.

The Leland Giants are still winning. Only lost one team in thirty-seven. Everybody gives it to them as having one of the best teams in the country. Foster and Wickear are pitching some great ball. It was an unlucky day for "Cyclone" Williams on last Sunday. He only struck out in those Cubans are stickers and great with it. Green Taylor and Ball were on the bench Sunday.

"Bellieve me, the men look good too," said one of the duels as she gazed into the boxes that were crowded with gentleness and their company.

CHOCOLATE DROPS MAKE BIG HIT AT MOTT'S THEATER Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, Ill., June 14—Mr. R. T. Motts, manager and owner of the Motts Theater, made no mistake in having the Chicago Knights and King and Bailey are the headliners and it is an undisputed fact that they are the very best colored team in vaudelle. They were given the most enthusiastic response any team that we have seen at this house. To use the common term that is in vogue in Chicago, "they have em." They have them in every way mentionable. The team is the most natural comedians, and it takes no critic to discover it. They possess that dash and ginger that takes an audience by storm. The music they use is catchy, the costumes beautiful and the comedy a laugh provoker. King is the comedian and Bailey the straight man. They do work that is their own. While they are styled Will Rogers, the costumes Drew Duggs seem not to be imitators; they are working out a future of their own and putting on a new style of amusement. It was the opinion of many that crowded the house on Monday and Tuesday nights that they were young men are in a class all to themselves. King sings a song, "Going Out." His expression and actions during this number brought forth laughter after laughter, the chorus the house was in an uproar. Four dashing, prancing, tantalizing mahogany bows sang, Love Him Just the way it was, captivating in their dancing, and this was evidenced by the lond and loud applause given by them by those in boxes as well as the girls in the song and dance turn with the four charming browns that was artistic and pleasing. The Chocolate Drops tell a story that indicates the Negro's attitude and audiences without leaving a blush of shame on the race. All their stuff is pitched high. Ahey are a credit to the profession. They are less than thirty years of age and have a brilliancy. The Wootens returned to the city after a stay of two years out West. He and his wife are trick blower girls. When they were over and under the bars of the wheel and she does likewise. They do numerous clever stunts that bring much applause. The wheel is unjointed and he rides one wheel in the whole bicycle. Riding down an inlined ladder is the closing feature of the act. The three English Girls do an acrobatic dance and sing. This was a good number and they exhibited some singing in dancing and singing and the number went big. J. M. Kayne, a ventriloquist, amused the audience for twelve minutes, and the musicians that kept the house laughing from the time they began talking until the close of the nimber. Francis Curren, a monopeaked acrobat, brought to the evening's program, which Cottrell and Hamilton were two fine singing and talking comedians in "The New Recruit." Their jokes were fresh and new, and they are far above average comedians, that are heard here-corndelley. The bill as a whole was about the best that Mr. Motts has had for some time, and with the Chocolate Bar, he has drawn very large crowds. Once more Miss Lottie Grady is on the famous stroll. She made her appearance Monday night, and she said, "That Big Pig Tree," "Gray Bonnet" and "I Would Rather Be Broke on State Street That Have $100,000 Down South." She said, "Believe Me" in a dancing turn. To say that the act went big is putting to moldy. Miss Grady has always been a drawing caricature, does fine work and is excelsed. "It will be remembered that she took a prominent part in "Mr. Lode of Koad company and recent returns from the "Smile Set". One likes to think from the "Smile Set". One likes to think overton Walker, Abby Mitchell and Miss Grady because they are a top-notchers. They are the best of the best, have made good the public likes them, the duties must give it to them, for they have advanced beyond expectations. Miss Grady is a student of the late Ed Greem and a pupil of the Ed stock company. She graduated with her degree, she is not resting on her diploma. She is working and drawing a bright "juicy" salary for four weeks; she is vivacious and charming with perfect natural beauty. The management of the stock company was much pleased with her act. She is another one of the many that loom up as a product of the Pekin stock company, which was a school for numbers that are now making a success She was just in town long enough to see the Chicago Giants play a game of ball and take on the Pittsburgh Steelers to appear in vaudeville. It was Miss Abby Mitchell. THE FREEMAN representative saw Miss Grady and she talked interestingly of the stage. It will be remembered that took the part of Minneah in the "Red Moon." It was then that Miss Grady arose high in the estimation of the theater-goer. She lived and temperament than ever exhibited by a female of the race. In vaudeville and in stage life Miss Grady came to the highest round—about as high as any colorless actress gone. She sings and goes big, draws a handsome salary without a natural talent. She possesses most charming voice. She is petite, dashing and charming. She is a student of the stage. She has traveled. She has a wonderful knowledge of the English and Miss Mitchell has set the pace for others to follow. She has made the way clear. Press reports from all parts of the country give her fine mentionings. Within about six weeks Miss Grady said she appeared at the annual "Breaking" record, for hundreds and hundreds are anxious to see her in ravidence this season. STAGE ITEMS The C. V. B.

In the Field of Sport. THE JOHNSON-JEFFRIES FIGHT. Johnson has troubles in his camp, while Jeffries has other troubles—overtraining, under-training and so forth. The big wager of $10,000 to $6,000 in favor of Jeffries is considered a game of hit to reduce Johnson's courage and that of his friends. George Little, former manager for Johnson, claimed a gilt-edged contract. It took the show of law before he agreed to quit Johnson's camp. The trouble with Little, Johnson's former manager, caused a temporary flutter, then all was quiet again. The report went out that Billy Nolan has the contract of managing Johnson. Nolan confirmed the statement, but 'twas not to be. It was a Flanagan—a gentleman of Celtic origin presumably. Jeffries is said to have given a delightful exhibition last week when he and Joe Chokyanski did a little stunt before 500 spectators. He was surprised about the bolsterer, feeling sure that he has tacked to his own. Some one has figured out that the railway porters would lose something like $25,000 to $300,000 if Johnson lost Joffries. He intimates that of the $5,500 porters most of them would think also thinks that the coed student will wager something like $10,000,000. He did not seem to consider the gain in the event Johnson won. Rickard did not look with favor on Billy Nolan as manager of Johnson. Johnson took a hint and cut him out. Little says Johnson owes him $25,000. He says he will take the matter to court. The former manager said the blame between him and Johnson began when he took the mother and sister of the champion to come to the training camp to do the cooking. According to the manager's story Johnson objected so strongly to the punishment. This trouble culminated in a row that led to the replacing of Little as gmatekeeper by Sig Hart. Johnson tells a different story about the trouble between himself and Little. He says he was punished his friend Hart to enjoy privileges of the camp. He got redestressed when he took Hart joy riding in his big car. Johnson said it was time to quit. The threats of gun play became so frequent during the management mixup that some excitement was caused by a man who had been accused of recording to the chief, he was asked to settle the quarrel, but declined on the ground that he had no right to interfere in a matter over which the civil courts had ruled. The man that besides the $10,000 forfeit money he declares he provided for Johnson, the champion owes him $15,000, paid out on debts contracted with his charge. The man that besides the $10,000 forfeit money the expenses of Johnson's brother Charles, who is said to be dying in a Chicago hospital, is Little's contention. This payment according to Little, was resented because who was not inclined to authorize it. --- Big Bob Armstrong is making a hit with Jeffries in their punch bouts. The Negro heavyweight's conscience is the one that makes him a bit of his shows with Jim, Jeffries, it is said, reserves some strength when tapping Armstrong. One observer said as follows: "There is no denying that Armstrong is the best wrestler in the Jeffries stable. Jeffries himself says so. Through going on the road and being Jeffries partner in contests, Armstrong probably than ever before. He is a grand boxer and he hits out freely when he faces Jeffries. Jeffries likes him for his toughness, but he never, Armstrong can take a stiff "wallop" without wincing or crying for mercy." Johnson, speaking of himself, said: "I have a big, husky gentleman to push and haul around, and believe in all the things that I do. Jeffries is great and as strong as a lion, if he can show Bob Armstrong and those bows around he must be right. I had Armstrong with me in the Ketchup box, and Jeffries is great and bird can stand. If Jeffries wasn't there he would not be throwing Bob around. I don't want to get into that ring under the table, but he has thirty pounds on me it's going to hurt in the cinchens. I'm strong and right just now, but a little hardening won't hurt me as long as I don't lose any JEFFRIES PLEASES GOTCH. Boilermaker Able to Stand Training, and Gossip About His Unfitness Is Premature. Saves Wrestler. Frank Gotch, the world's champion wrestler, who is scheduled to go to the coast soon to help get Jeffries into shape, said he was scheduled at San Francisco on Independence Day, declares that the Californiaian is in good physical condition despite recent reports to the U.S. Department of Health that Jeffries and his "troup of athletes" and declares he is in a position to speak positively of Jeffries' condition. How is knowing what Gotch has to say about Jeffries going is what Gotch has to say about Jeffries. "We have been hearing a great deal recently about Jeffries' poor condition. Simple question he has been suffering from bells he has gone to school stand training; that he is all in, and that his vitality is so low that he never able to get into shape to meet Johnson. $3.50 RECIPE CURES WEAK MEN----FREE SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY —YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS.

Boils are no fatal affliction for athletes, nor are they uncommon. Every wrestler suffers from them from them to tend and how often do you hear of the members of a big football team having carbuncles? The fact that Jeff was forced to lay off from his training owing to his slight infliction in spandex, is a good thing for him, as he was teaming up work at a tremendous clip, going perhaps a trifle too fast for a fellow two months away from a fight. "All the big fellow's bad condition, however, do not affect me in the least. I have been with him too much not to know well his physical fitness, and I am as certain that he will step on as I am as sound as ever be as I am as am the wrestling champion of the world. "I thinggy that Jeffries has done exactly right in planning the secret boxing. I have no doubt that he will not do anything that Jeffries might fight fans that he is in good condition and fully capable of giving the Negro champion the fight of his life. He owes this much to the public, but certainly he is not to be expected to exhibit himself to the crowd, now who happens to appear at his camp. "I still expect to see Billy Delaney with the Negro, and am hoping that such is the case, for if there is a man in the world who can show us shape to battle Jeffries on practically even terms, that man is Delaney." BETTING BIG MONEY ON THE COMING FIGHT. Boosting the White Man. Chicago is getting in first on the big betting on the coming fight between Johnson and Jeffries; $10,000 to $6,000 were wagered last week by a couple of members of Jeffries. It was this way; a Party of sporting men met in the Poppelian room of the Congress Hotel, Chicago, when in question arose as to the merits of the fight. The men don't argue very long. The result of it all was a $10,000 to $6,000 bet as a matter of faith in their views. The bets were by Andy Craig and Edward Dickinson. The big odds are thought to be a boost for big Jim Jeffries, spreading the news, as it were, in order to reduce Johnson's risk of the faith that his friends have in him. It is said that faint heart never won fair lady. Some such notion holds to an extent in everything. Spiritual cowardice is as much of a hindrance to success as fear of the unknown. But that if it could be made to appear to Johnson that if he were not the favorite by such great odds he would have some serious reflection if he didn't become cowardly. Johnson does not affect all men alike. Some buy up under knocks and cuffs of any kind. It declares the stuff they are made out of. Johnson may be one of these. Or he may be callous to it all, either one way or the other. He is a strength as a horse of pedigree and youth. "I bet this amount of money at 10 to 6 because I am sure Jeffries will be the winner," Craig said. "I have known Jeffries for a number of years and I have given him his great fights, and I don't believe that he has to be as good as he ever was to win from Johnson. I don't believe the Negro is in the same class with the big fellow and Jeffries will win in short order. I have a lot more money I intend to bet on Jeffries." It will be noted that the object is to have the white man win if there's any way to do it. It is squarely a case of brawn and nothing will be undone to make for the supremacy of the white man. The Negro has youth and known strength on his side. The white man will be more spirituous and best scientific advice a sto methods in recalling him from the past. And it is said that Jeff has not only come back, but shows up in better form than ever, he more spirituous, inflexible, calculated to make the white man the meanwhile depress Johnson. However, as intimated, Johnson may not know anything about the finesse of such games and he may be thankful that he must. He to all intents is a bulldog at his game and will fight on that principle. TOM FLANAGAN, JOHNSON'S NEW MANAGER, SATISFIED WITH CHAMPION'S CONDITION Events are rapidly transpiring in Johnson's camp. A few days ago the sporting world got a good scare when it was announced that Johnson had made a mistake in his agent. Report had it as follows: The discharge of George Little and the hiring of Billy Nolan as his manager by Jack Johnson caused the public to wonder whether he was an infidelity has in store. Little refuses to be dismissed, "Sometimes," said Little, "a blind hog roots around and finds an acorn. Well, I'm not going to let loose of this." The heaves he has an iron contract with the law and an infidelity has until May, 1911, by which he is to receive 25 per cent. of all profits that accrue from the pugilist's ring activities. Furthermore, he asserts that he was who furiously insisted that he be taken to Johnson, and he declares he will stop the big battle if he is not recognized as the Negro's manager. Johnson insisted that he wasn't tied up so tight as Little would have it appear. Tom Flanagan is broken and Tom Flanagan is now doing duty as Johnson's best man. Billy Nolan was mentioned as Little's successor, but somehow Flanagan drew the lucky car. The new manager has satisfied with Johnson's condition, saving. "The reports that Johnson has been taking off weight too rapidly, either because of managerial troubles or overweight as a consequence," I have watched Jack very closely since my arrival from Canada and I can truthfully say that I never saw an athlete round to condition in more satisfactory manner. When he went into training Johnson naturally had a lot of superfluous weight that he gathered during the winter. This is easy flesh to take off and the hard road to recovery is a long process of weeks of his training reduced his weight at a fast clip. "Johnson at the present time weighs around the 20-pound weight before letting him go to the training facility, he will not fall below the 205 mark—the weight at which he expects to fight—by July 4. "Consider AI Kaufman a valuable acquisition to the training camp. Kaufman is not only a big man, but is a clever one as well. Johnson will become accustomed to shooting at a mark similar to the one he will teach him in dependence Day. He will teach him how to stand off a man of Jeffries' stature. "Johnson will pay strict attention to the boxing end of the game from now on. If the present program is carried out he will be able to cut out a portion of the road work." WEST BADEN SPRUDELS WIN LOUISVILLE CUBS The West Baden Spruedls beat the Louisville Cubs June 2 and 3 in two of three games, and the Cubs beat Ball Park this season. The Cubs had their usual lineup the first day, with Martin in the box for the first five innings, and Prim as receiver. But Martin went on to score a home run and to take his place, but showed up a shade worse. Clark, who is fast showing the public that he is the best ball player that the Spruedls and had the Cubs at his mercy at all times, having struck out 14 men and kept the few hits received by the Cubs from the receiving for the Spruedls and is fast coming back to himself. Wiley has THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER been suffering from rheumatism for the past few months and at times thought he would have give up playing but the last time he outsmarted by putting the ball over the canvas in the sixth for a home run. He played a hard battle, with Ben Taylor in for the Spruels and West for the Cubs. West was effective at times, but Taylor held the boys spell with a hard fight. The feature of eht second game was a beautiful catch by Brown, the Spruels' center fielder, while Bingham easily led the backcourt with 0 0 3 1 0 0 0 1 0 -5 Cubs. West Baden ..... 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 3 West Baden and the Plutos played a fast and interesting game Sunday, which ended in one of the prettiest plays seen on the Plutos' diamond. In the ninth inning, Inside knocked a long layup to the big French Lick catcher near third. Bingham started for the ball at top speed and it seemed utterly impossible to get it, but he made a phenomenal one-handed catch out of it about two feet inside the foul line, the big French Lick catcher near third. Binghe slammed it to first and Lewis sent her to Clark at second, which completed one of the triple plays ever seen on a baseball drills game, and us for the Spruedels and only allowed the Plutos five hits, three being in the second inning. The score: West Baden 0 1 0 0 1 2 0 2 3-3 French Lick 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0-4 Nick-Nacks of the Game nick-snacks of the Game Houston is the hard ball player and always in the game. C. I. Taylor made a home run, and we are told he made a double there. Jerome Lewis is back in the game again and better than ever. Bingham is going some with the stick. Ben Taylor is leading with a batting average of .477. Moore, Brown and Bingham are batting .300. I guess Sam Wiley ain't a third-sacker. Webart? er W-h-a-t? Oilman, captain during O.

Special to THE FREEMAN The Pensacola Glants left last week for Mobile, Ala.; Moss Point, Miss., and New Orleans, La., where they will play a series of games in each city. With Mose Point, they will play New Orleans, 16, 17, 18. The boys have been playing some fine ball this season. Three of our players have been laid up for some weeks. Hannon, who has been sick since the arrival from New Orleans, but again will play with the team while it is on the road. Captain Oliver is getting along as well as could be expected. He received a bounce hand while he was hedged. He is getting along nicely. He is one of the local players of the city and has done fine with the Glants. The Pensacola Glants defeated the Mose Point Glants in the very first Lincoln Park. Some very fast ball was played by the local Glants. The Moss Points were very easy to win from Lewis and Scotland were the battery. The Pensacola Norman Park team will play the Mose Points new Friday at Lincoln Park, and there will also be a picnic at the park, given by the school boys. The Pensacola Glants will soon have one of the strongest teams in the South when they return from their road trip. The Stonewalls returned last week from Marianna. Fla., after winning two straight from the team of that city. The local boys came very near having to wipe back home because the gatekeeper from that city left with all of the proceeds. THE SOUTHERN CHAMPIONS A Banner Day—5,625 Admissions—St Louis Bloomier Girls Drawing Card. Special to THE FREEMAN. MEMPHIS, Tenn.—There will certainly be a hot time in "Dixie" when the Bluff City Tigers return from their tour through Kentucky and Indiana, meeting Memphis (Memphis) June 25, 26 and 27, at Varsity Park. The colored people of our city are supporting the Tigers better than any club which ever represented Memphis, there being from 2,000 to 4,500 people at a game every Sunday, and we are very proud of the last Sunday (May 29 broke all records with 5,625 paid admission tickets. The St. Louis Bloomer Girls were certainly a drawing card. It looked very nice, but since our all-star aggregation of ball tossers has got together under one strong determination and understanding success looks assured. Captain Bloomer, the grand old man of the game, is certainly cutting capers on first base like a two-year-old. Chick Cummins, second base; young Colbert, shortstop, and Skinny Williams, third base, are a brick wall infield, and hard place hitters is a common offense. Walton, the crack left fielder, is covering more ground in that garden than Advance Guard did in the Brooklyn Handicap. Steel Arm Meridy of center is killing them as usual in trying to go home from the on the long n. Trying Vasy, the new college recruit, hasn't booked an error in 5 games, within 21 chances. Can you beat it? Gillard and Wall, the two crack twirlers, are in the pany, and their control of crooks and benders is quite a puzzle to all hard batters. M. L. Clay, our owner, has a standing reward to anyone who duce a club that will take three straight games from the Tigers at home or abroad. Jake Redwood, our manager, would be very glad to book any first-class club at Memphis in the near future. KANSAS CITY, MO. Albert Toney is burning up the West. He is back in his old form. Enough said. This season he is playing on second base, and as a player he can fill any white people both out here calling him Johnnie Evers. He must be going some ATHENS BESTS THE MACONC. WIN THREE OUT OF FIVE. Special to THE FREEMAN. Athens arrived from Macon, Ga., having gotten the best of the series three out of four. 2 to 1; second, 11 to 4; third, 12 to 6. Our southpaw, Rowland, won't let the boys onto his tricks. Williams is known as the "don't lost kid." O. Lester, the young curve line and is a wonder and will have everything his own way next season. We are bragging as the best willow of the northeast. Our northeast fielder, S. Thomas, has got our .220 battles guessing who will reach the .200 mark first. "Home Run" Joe keeps up his gait. E. Strickland and Bacon are sometimes. "Pop" Shields, the backstop, is the strike-out getter. F. Moore will let you get in striking distance of second then throw you out. We will get the best of all series. A NEW BASEBALL CLUB Another Aggregation of Giants. Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, IL.—A new colored baseball club, crowned the season and has registered the Internet association. The club will be manned by James A. Newton, the former first baseman of the Illinois Giants. Manager Newton has a fast bunch of youngsters and he is very anxious to meet some of the best teams in the country, so they may be able to show the public that the team is as good as any in the West. The lineup for the Royals: J. Mitchell, If; L. Green, 3b; H. Prior, 2b; J. Watson, c; J. Logan, ss; C. H. Conway, c; W. B. Thomas, cf; H. G. Parker, p; Wm. Talley, p; C. White, p; T. B. Ridley, rf, secretary and treasurer; J. A. Newton, 1b and manager. They are ready to book games with all first-class teams. Address all mail to James A. Newton, 33081-2 State street, Chicago, Ill. BASEBALL NOTES The baseball game between the letter carriers and the business men of Jackson, resulted in a victory for the business men of Jackson, and the carriers who went over to Jackson, Miss, to help the carriers out were: P. M. E. of Yazoo City, and John Edwards of Violet City. John Edwards is a terror to butters and would do any team credit as a pitcher. SHREVEPORT—2 TO 0 VICTORY The Jefferson Glants were whitewashed by the Shreveport Greens in a fast and exciting game. It was a pitchers' battle between Lewis for the Greens and John-nie Nelson for the Greens, Nelson had a shade the better, as he allowed but one hit, while Lewis allowed two. Neither team scored until the eight innings, when the Jefferson's catcher made a cost to the one score. They then secured the third in a play. The Greens played an erroneous game.
