Leaving there, as I came out, I met Mr. Thompson, the secretary of the Mississippi. He started me to the state department. I went to the office of R. W. Thompson, the great writer.

He was glad to welcome me to his office, and went with me to the office of the secretary of state, Mr. Thompson, and walked across the sea. You see they must put your description on this. Let me give you these items one mine: "Mouth large, large large complex teeth." I will give you this comment. "Then I went to the office of Dr. B. F. Watson, who presented me with a fine Stetson hat; so you see I have a new hat to go to Scarlett and I will remember him and his kindness. I went over to the financial department and was again met by Miss E. D. Lampton; and she called on me to meet Dr. Hurst, who was attending the New England conference, but his wife received me and insisted that I take dinner with her. It was a fine dinner.

OMAHA, NEB. Special to THE FREEMAN. Primaries are over and the standup papers rejoicing the outcome. But there may be a loss which comes from such an attitude. For, be the utterances of the standup papers what comes from a sentiment in this country which will interest them that are raping the nation. Iowa is not alone in the fight; it is on in Maine and Massachusetts. Black men must be the leaders in all of all who are submerged. Miss Dean Walker is in the city in the interest of the Working Girl's Association of Indiana. Ind. Wednesday evening she spoke to the audience the cause which goes to submerged in t church and received additional aid. Miss Walker is a wonderful crator, and her appeal is irresistible. She is enangered in street cause, the cause which goes to submerged in t church and received additional aid. Miss Walker is getting results, for the reason that she has placed her whole being upon the altar of her cause there, and she deserves the race. She has a unique plan for resi ing the money. She does not want to get it from white men; she wants $3000 (for the protection of colored girls) from $3,000 (for the protection of men). What a great cause! What a noble mission for a good fight. The West has never been wicked more lovely spirit, nor has a nobler cause been presented here. God has chosen her this mission and she has been properly blessed. The struggle is in a great struggle to overcome the vastating forces of evil and crime. The moral forces are being led by a lawyer named of Elmer E. Thomas, and standing with him. Yet believes that souls of men and the virtue of women many able ministers and business men. He is fighting police corruption and the brewery rule. Behind him is the state of the city. They will not die without a weapon. They are dangerous and desperate foes. With God, God will win. May we hope that the movement reaches the floodtide that our Negro ministers will join the movement. We know they will; they will be the only Republican candidate will be the only Republican candidate will go before the Republican primaries in August. After his nomination he will enter the fight for re-election. that will be the wom without a struggle, for democracy is militant in this state. OWENSBORO, KY.

It is said that the Mexican government has offered certain conditions to Negroes for establishing the largest colony of Negroes in the world excepting Liberia. Negroes are expected from all parts of the country, but mainly from Texas and Louisiana. The Negro Medical Association met recently at Little Rock, Ark. It was advised by Dr. Williams, assistant secretary for the Rockefeller Canary Commission, on the "Hook Worm." The play, "The Clansman," has been barred by the mayor of Philadelphia. It was opposed on the grounds that it raised prejudice. Bert Williams, Negro comedian, receives $1,100 per week for his work in vaudeville.

The white citizens of Galveston, Tex., have started a fund to erect a marble statue of the old black mammy, which is to cost about $500,000, $200,000 of which have already been pledged. In speaking of the matter one of the leading citizens of that city has to pay a tribute to one of the greatest characters which the history of the world records. We purpose to build a marble statue as pure as her good old soul and of granite as steady and sound as her devotion. J. J. Grover, the potato king of Kansas, lives in a house of 22 rooms, costing $22-900. He is one of the richest Negroes in the country. William H. Lewis of Boston delivered the annual address at Tuskegee.

The celebration of May as the eighth annual anniversary of the International Liberty Union was a big success in every way. Reports just received show that the members responded in great fashion to the call for a record-breaking month. The Union has the biggest month in the history of the Union. More members were admitted than any previous month. More dues were paid. In every way the month showed up the biggest of all. Over 59,000 memberships have now been issued. And the number is fast mounting upwards. The wholesale mercantile department of the Union met with quick response. Orders immediately began to come in, and they are now being filled at strictly wholesale prices to members. Good news. Another move started by the Union is worthy of notice. The Union now pays its claims on the same basis. This is a remarkable move. It means that members will receive their money right at the time most needed. Every member should certainly acclaim this change with joy and gratitude. The anniversary month was also the biggest month in point of claims paid. More money and more claims were paid than in any one month before. All claims were paid in the day of final proof at the Grand Lodge. This paper is doing business with the Union, and our dealings are satisfactory. This is a union conducted upon strictly business principles, and it is worthy of invoices. We are interested.

SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1910. THE FREEMAN TO SPRING A GREAT SURPRISE. To Get Out a Big Theatrical and Sporting Number Combined—The Date Changed for Better In order that we may be given the desired amount of time to issue one of the largest and best theater and summer theatrical numbers that has ever yet been produced by the management of The Freeman, the date has been changed from June 25 to July 9. In addition to the theater number extra pages will be added to give a complete account of the outcome of the Johnson-Jeffries fight, with the best illustrations obtainable. No doubt you have always admired our Christmas numbers, but we are certain that you will be wonder-struck and filled with congratulations for the "Negro Theater and Summer Edition of Theatricals" when you receive it. It will contain interior and exterior views and accounts of the most popular colored playhouses in America. A special department will be given over to sketches and illustrations of new acts, the hits of the best vaudeville circuits in the field, the future stars and the prospective beginners who are now creating marked attention on the variety stage; the progress of stock companies and the colored artists of the circus world. In the last two or three seasons the colored musician has become a great favorite with about every circus that travels, although little has been said of him. It will be our aim to give the many artists of the circuses special mention in this number. A feature of this number will be the well-written articles to be contributed by some of the most widely known authorities in the business. The coming of the Negro theater and its success will be discussed by knowing persons. Then the vaudeville stage and the colored performers' march of progress will come in for a share of space. What about the most popular colored theater and the favorite stage critic? You will be allowed to vote on that, and THIS YOU SHOULD REMEMBER: That there will be just lots of space for your picture and write-up or any advertisement that you may have. This issue is for the manager to know what you are doing and for you to know what all managers are doing. We want you to write to us right away on this matter, as we are making these write-ups to you at a very low rate when you consider the good it is sure to do you. Remember, the date is July 9, and the forms close Wednesday, July 6. Well, if Mr. Crum thinks he just must have the job, let him have it. At last we are prepared to say—what's so rare as a day in June? Who is getting the breathing spell in Marion County, the candidates or the people? Bear in mind that fine clothes are not all of it, nor fine airs when not based on superiority. Thoughtful colored men are beginning to see danger ahead for the race. They are urging young men not to abandon the farm for the seductive swirl of city life—the advice is timely. The graduates are now looking about in the real world. Varied experiences will be theirs yet, if they run the race with patience the prize of the calling will not be denied them. Who made the assembly shine? Robin, Robin, Robin Adair. He's home again, He's home —mid the tumult and the throng. All hall! lest we forget. Respectfully dedicated to Mr. Teddy Roosevelt. Rumor has it that a colored banker of Robey, Okla., made away with a considerable bunch of the funds. Well, one-sided development is no better for the colored people than for the white people. Don't be deceived by the glitter and glare of the moment. What the race needs is enduring things, enterprises that stay and grow. In this city we have a few. There could be many more according to the need and opportunity. CRUM FOR LIBERIA. The Richmond Planet in speaking of Crum's appointment as Minister of Liberia says, "Why he should be willing to accept such an appointment is a mystery to us." We thought something like that when the appointment was announced, but did not feel called on to say so. Since the Planet has spoken it proves that there are others who are thinking about it and incidentally (this to the Planet) that "great minds run together." It may be thought a little reflection on the job to express it that way, yet it is hardly that, the personality of the man as it is understood to be is rather it. The Planet says, "He is reported to have a large and lucrative practice in his home city and he must necessarily accept the position at a financial loss to himself. The honor though is something to be considered. It is evident that he desired some other recognition and that it was a case of "take this or nothing." President Taft has made no mistake in his selection, but we fear that our distinguished southerner has made a mistake in consenting to accept the appointment." The appointment is a good one personally considered; that is to say, Mr. Crum is evidently fit. But we cannot quite see why he feels that he just must have office at any price unless he feels a sense of vindication. CLARKSVILLE, TENN. Special to THE FREEMAN. GALVESTON, TEX. AURORA. ILL.

The two teams made fifteen errors. In the beginning it looked as though the "Phillies" would have a wail on the field. The Philadelphia Glants made seven hits and only made five scores, while the Chicago boys made one hit and five scores. Walter Ball started to pitch and did not show form in the first three innings and "Cyclone" Williams went in the box in the fourth inn- It was what might be termed a see-saw game; yet this seemed to please the thousands that were present, for they yelled and clapped, and the disarranged in favor of the home boys. It was evident that there were many rooters for the Philadelphia Giants, but the Chicago Giants were the most famous of State" of State street were equal to the task when it came to pulling for the Lelanders. I took two hours and fifteen minutes to play the game, most of the time being taken up in the eighth inning, when the Chicago Giants began hitting the ball and bringing in scores like boys on the combo field. The Chicago Giants at Auburn Park, and they did themselves the proud honor of leaving with a victorious game. It was next Sunday the Chicago Giants would hereafter play at the Red Sox Park, 61st and St. Lawrence streets. As usual, the boxes were jammed, and the players were playing the game to their hearts' delight, while the grand stand and bleachers were overrun with fans. It is estimated that 4,000 people saw the game. The score: Chicago Giants. R. H. O. A. E.

Prey carried off the honors with the stick, they making three-base hits, while Lloyd, Johnson and Booker made double plays. Dougherty struck out seven men. This makes about 40 percent of the Leland Giants have proved and only lost one game.

There are two vaudeville houses in Memphis, the Royal and the Gem Theatre, and there are many, too, ready to do the same, although I had been drawing my salary up to the time I put in my notice. I was figured up to owe them a tittle of my salary, all because the man was going to work against other theaters here. They did not want me to give the Pekin Theater manager an engagement, as he assaulted one of the performers, John Laundry, who pay him at all, claiming he had lost a piece of property, and that it took all of them. They also assaulted Eugene Diggins, their former stage director, and threatened my life if I let other performers know of their methods. And as I am once more in God's part of the country, I am letting you all know. For further proof ask the performers who have mentioned. They also tried to do Mr. Mullen, but she was too clever for them. The houses have been under good man- agement of the Mr. Tom Kernage things are terrible. I hope all in the profession will take notice of my advice Now I am across the Mason and Dixon line and here we are man to man. Come and see me, my former managers.

BELMONT ELECTRIC THEATER, PENSACOLA, FLA. Special to THE FREEMAN. Kenner and Lewis Amusement Company have without a doubt "got 'em" at this popular little playhouse. For the week past there was a contest to guess the performers, especially with one Lew Kenner, who lived to celebrate his birthday on Wednesday, June 15 inst. and had a jolly good time. Lew forgot his age and was about 23 years old. But his partner being a wise old owl simply smiled. So after a awhile John and Lew got in an argument about Wallace King, the great tenor singer, who knew him well. He strelts when they played in New Orleans, La. He went to see the show; said he was 22 years old then. So they figured it out, found Lew guilty at first, and found the one of the best that has been at the Belmont for a long time. It is clean, bright and spicy from start to finish. Every one is a performer and singer, he can sing one ones. Every boy puts forth for themselves. The team of Effie Means and Millie Williams made an instant star in singing "Savannah Jane," Sidney Coleman, the coon shouter, is getting hers as usual singing "Lord, How That Man Can Care," love the singing "Get the Money," Kenner and Lewis are still in the hunt. It's a case of everybody quite a success singing "Old Gray Bonnet" and "That's the Rose Said to Me," during the duel in "Jim Bloodsaw" on Thursday night, the 16th inst., with Lewis of Kenner and Lewis as one of the prinals, he almost got his left hand severed. His partner, his partner's knife, turning in his hand. Kenner and Lewis send regards to Manager Bailey of the Arcade to thank him also Whitman Sisters, Al Carroll, Tom and Lizzie Thomas, Marion H. Brooks, Slim Henderson, Viola Marion and Theresa and Bob Slater here is Zumby and the Florida Blossoms. ATTRACTIONS AT THE CHICAGO NEGRO THEATERS. Special to THE FREEMAN: CHICAGO, Ill., June 21. — The hot weather does not reduce the number of star attractions at Motts' Theater. The limit in bringing to his house the best bills in the country. Skilled artists are always among the features and Manager Motts fears that the patrons crowd his house in appreciation of the celebrities that come from the Doyle Circuit. Vaudeville, the music that is closest to electrifying is characteristic of the numbers. The music from the orchestra is an attraction that seems almost irresistible. On Monday night, Motts brought to drive away the terrors of hot weather. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. while the gigantic fan, with its multitudinous revolutions and the exits open, made the house cool and pleasant. He seemed to have struck a responsive chord in the hearts of Motts playgoers. This is the second successful season of this happy and amusing aggregation. He played, they went big Monday night. The members of the brass band were dressed in handsome military suits and the opening number was a good one. The merger, did work that was clever throughout. After the band played the curtainrose on an old plantation scene. At this juncture a number of melodies were played, which enabled training. The mixing of these voices brought out sweet music and harmony that was generously appreciated and applauded. He sure did some running and dancing by the tune of "Chicken Reel." It was a "scream." B. Collins calls the old favorite song, "Old Black Joe." His singing possessed a rhythm and sweetness characteristic of an aged man. He was well supported by Wizak of Zuzibar" was the song of Jack Smith, which made a hit. He was assisted by James Brown, who shares some of the comedy with Smith. The number closed with jubilee singing. Joe and Sadie Britton have been heralded as the king and queen of buck and wing, hard shoe and shuffle dancing, wilt comedy, played and returned engagement, a new hip-hop in line of work. Mrs. Sadie Britton sure looks her part and does some very clever dancing and singing, while Joe just kept the house in an uproar from beginning to end of the show, with their pectations, but went beyond. They were simply immense and are a big addition to the bill. A host of their friends were present to see them, and others are expected to come the remainder of the week. Eva Ray and Company, one of the very big acts in saudeville, styled "In Somnolency." Mrs. Ray is the mysterious man and although she is a dozen moons from the time on the show, trying the hands, feet and head, she performed some dazzling feats which the naked eye could not behold in less than a second.

He will His next season's make the pennant a permanent fixture like Mike most comedians, Mr. King is a close student to his work, has written several songs and parodies galore. In the first part he plays opposite our star, Olaren King. Olaren has his instinctive humor that would appeal to any one given over to minstrel comedy. His olio number, entitled "Billy King's Belles," critics say is a show that made Pamirose famous, whose the last act and original military satire from this bright young man's brains never falls to bring hilarious laughter. He is a gentleman and the swell head, an author manager he is strictly business, treating every one with courtesy from cook to star, and will call the manager down as quick as he would like once if occasion arose. The well-liked by Mr. King, the top man at the helm. Sydney Kirkpatrick, our dramatic barytone, is singing better than ever. I rave over his work, and one has a voice in praise of him. One St. Paul critics compared him favorably with Scotti in technique and round, full tones. Mr. Kirkpatrick, and his look, paddles the part in every word and move, as his gestures are almost perfect. And when he walks down to the footlights and introduces a number of his plays, he comes next, for he speaks each word distinctly and can be heard all over an auditorium with ease, which shows his mastery of the English language. Being quite good looking and of an athletic build, he is quite naturally a matinee idol, and in his part as colonel, he has a real his-english ability that like to see. VON REX VISITS PEKIN THEATER AT CINCINNATI Last night I visited the Petkin Theater to see Joe Simms' stock company. It was certainly a musical comedy, "A Bogus King." The company consists of Richard Lewis, Jerome Johnson, La Beille Glenn, Daisy Collins, Cliff McGee, Odessa Mee, Joe Simms and Joe. The management of this theater has certainly produced some real talent. The show opens with "Yankee Lunch" and "comes under What's the Matter with My Eyes." Mr. Reed sang the "Rosary," which went well. Mrs. Simms renders the Lily, by the Lily. Mr. Simms renders the "Sumbo" with a company of ladies, well staged and arranged. Miss Daisy Collins rendered the "Pathway of Love." This was a knockout, the next number from the bogus king. La Belle Glenn, the Creole teterena, rendered "Crimisla." Miss Odessa Massingale sang "You're Getting Sweeter All The Time." Under cortex, she and dance like She is a real soubrette, Mr. Lewis, the real king, arrives in Chief Bungalo, a real African number. The finale is a medley of popular songs as a Much credit is due Mr. Joe Simms as a musical director and stage manager. LAGMAN'S THEATER. MOBILE. ALA. Special to THE HERALD "The Mack Brothers of Tennessee Troubleshooters are 11, their second week at the Lagman Theater and are making good as usual. Billy Henderson, "the Georgia honey box," manager and amusement director, joined the company Monday, Elbert White, the phenomenal baritone singer, says he's happy when it come to work time. "Well, he likes the Mobile girls." The Mack Brothers are just the card and are cleaning up with their double buck and wing dance, of which he was a part of the director, has pleased throngs of patrons that packed the theater nighly. Mimie Jones, leading soubrette THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. of the company, has all the people singing "Keep Your Foot on the Soft, Soft Pedal, and Maud Campbell, "the baby and the teacher, and Mussierizing Mendelsson Tune." Now comes that famously funny comedian, Gulfport Willie, and he's a riot whenever he appears. The company is seen to adhere to the rules of the Ball, the Leaders of the Ball," with Billy Henderson and Gulfport Willie in the title role. The company has played Mobile lately, and this is saying a-plenty, for you have got to go some to arouse their curiosity. The company sends regular to all friends in the company, Mussierizing Mendelsson Tune, and says Hello to the Houston bunch. BILLY KERSANDS' MINSTRELS. The Billy Kersands Minstrel, one of the oldest shows on the road, still makes good. It is because they have good people who write well. We have with us the following: Mr. and Mrs. Kersands in a very act of cross-ire talking. They are singing the biggest song hits of the season, "Just Be Me," and the mechanic Out of the White Folsk Yard, "Hanable," "Angel Eyes." We have the famous James Crowse, our stammer man, who writes "The Your Little Bell Outside," "Keep Your Foot on the Soft Pedal," "Just Take Me as I Am." We have with us the biggest man in the town, who keeps him in an unroar all the time, taking eight and nine curtain calls every evening, singing his latest song hits, in Town, "I Want to Be the Music Man." Richard Edwards, the boy wonder, does the bumps and fails in his songs as he sings and dances and makes good and is getting better every day as a youngster, and last but not least, E. J. Ellott, the tall bass drummer, is doing some very clever stunts as a comedian, singing that Happy Rag" and doing some more dancin' Coy Herndon, one of our ballad singers, is making out very good singing a very good song. Were Mere also making the hit of his life as a hooprolling artist and pugger. Richard R. Matthews, Jr., the world's first hooprolling artist, doing some very dangerous feats. He is known now as the American sailor baller jumper and acrobat, who is a big hit, and somewhat of a star, singing a beautiful song, "Why Did You Break My Heart?" Our baritone soloist and interlocutor, Mervyn McCormack, talked to an end man until he says enough. The Billy Kersands Solo Concert Band is headed by Prof. White Lewis, the first bassist of the band, R. J. Mitchell, second cornet; Fred Richardson, clarion soloist; Jesse Reeves, first trombone; Ralph Redman, second trombone; and the bassist the Joe Miller, the man with the big bass; Ed Collins, alto; Joe White, the trick drummer; E. J. Elliott, bass drum. The show is going big everywhere, playing to S. R. O. every night. The management is well pleased with the show, and there is none better. THE IDLE HOUR THEATER AT MILLEDGEVILLE, GA We opened at 3:30 p. m. and in a short time we had the S. R. O. sign out at each performance until the hour of H. p. m. and we were mended with a high-class ballad, which was well rendered by Mr. James De Costa of Boston, Mass. tenor, entitled "Promise Me," after which Prof. W. R. Jackson, a professor of music, proved Edison kinetoscope moving picture machine, entertained the audience with the film showing the true life of Jesse James in Missouri, which brought down the house with heavy fire. Then he left with another Prof. L. H. Hawk who left the house spellbound when he sang and illustrated upon the canvas the only colored song slides in the business, known throughout the country as "Good Then we next had a thousand foot film of "Rescued from an Eagle's Nest—A Woman's Child," which enthused every fan of the movie, but her Madame Susie Carwin and Jas. E. Rogers in their high-class singing and talking act, monologues and funny sayings. Madame Carwin has been taking three and four encores, singing her favorites and playing a fine hit with the illustrated song slide, entitled "Sweet Adeline." Jas. E. Rogers has his share of the applause when he tells the audience to "Keep Your Foot on the Soft Pedal," assisted by Madame Carwin, in her high-class song, "Shine On. Harvest Moon." AMERICAN THEATER, JACKSON, MISS All is well that ends well. But the package that our manager, F. A. Barron, has to deliver is handed to him by the management of the attraction park in Vicksburg. Miss, was The gifted clairvoyant, the great female wonder, born with the double (caul) veil. She is one of the old, ancient outherland Clairvoyants of New Orleans. She is a liveliest, most intelligent, and most tells plainly what you are adapted for in life by reading your brain and mind. With a grasp of her hand she gives you a course of influence to enable you to overcome all obstacles. She has made thousands of homes happy. Read with the faith of a verse of St. Matthew: "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God." She reunites the separated, makes peace where there is conflict, and makes peace where there is heart will never forsake you, but will love you and marry you sooner if you will only heed this lady's consultation. Read what several ladies of your city say: "We, too, are not afraid of the heart and I separated over a year age, and just think, since I called on this lady, he returned to me. eW are together and happy. This young lady says: The one I loved refused to call or write me. I called on this lady and I refused to afford to miss consulting this gifted lady. She is gifted to read characters. She challenges the world to excel her advice on losses, business, family and financial matters. She is gifted to speedy marriages with one of your choice. No cards allowed in her place of business. No one's ill wishes filled; strictly a Christian lady and tends entirely on her heavenly gift. If you are painful or sailing, think you are not allowed to spend eighty years in the jungles of Africa. --- a bird, and the park and theater there is a joke.
