Word reached here last Friday from Galveston, Texas, that eight men were made happy by Jack Johnson winning championship. The remembrances from winning the championship were for remittances reaching from $250 for FIRE. The biggest order was $750 for Ed. Harrison, an old timer, who taught Johnson how to fight when he was a boy. He taught first lessons in the fighting game. Jack Johnson he would remember him if he ever became champion and he kept his word. It is said that while Johnson was swimmer in the bay at Galveston he was sucker for a vessel and would have drowned had it not have been for Caferty Williams. Williams was remembered with $500. ...

Persons coming to the convention will be asked to "stage" the ticket agents at their respective starting points. Western delegates may get excursion rates to Atlantic City, via Washington, as the B. & O. and Pennsylvania lines, New York and the West, allowing stopover at Washington when so requested. Washington is all agog over the social, intellectual and scientific treat that the convention will extend with like cordiality to all who can come within our gates. Washington was shocked beyond expression last Saturday, when a telegram to Dr. John F. Hurst, financial secretary to Mr. D. M. McCormick, told sad tidings that Bishop Edward W. Lampton had passed away suddenly at Petoskey, Mich., whither he had gone several weeks ago with the hope of restoring the family's fortune, short months ago Bishop Lampton was in this city, mingling with old friends and looking the picture of robust manhood, sapped his vitality, and his people, which became more and more pronounced after he had been honored with a seat on the Episcopal Bench, gradually sapped his vitality, and his career just as he was reaching its zenith. The remains were taken this week to Greenville, Miss., Bishop Lampton's daughters and a host of friends they were committed to the earth from whence they came. Bishop Lampton was a man of unusual ability both as a gospel minister and of business of business an expert financier, and as financial secretary of his church he established a new system of accounting, modeled after that of the Federal Government, and make all the necessary changes to the various conferences. As a bishop he showed power, firmness and executive talent that had already made him a successful businessman. He was Grand Master of the Stringer Lodge of Masons in Mississippi, and made the organization and its beneficence auxilaries a medium of culture throughout the Southland, encouraging thrift, industry, economy, right living and civic and racial pride. No Negro in the South possessed the same degree of eminence of the white people than did Bishop Lampton, and the Negro people loved him as a father, brother and friend. In the untimely passing of this noble man, the community paid a loss that cannot now be estimated. John C. Dancy, former Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, is back in town aftr a successful lecture tour, which carried him from Rochester, New York, to the address in rememoration of the unxelling of the monument to Frederirk Douglass, through North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee, not forgetting a jaunt to Oyster Bay, where he had a delightful interview with former President Donald J. Trump. He asked "Mr. Dancy 't' and always been a favorite with Mr. Dancy "R" and the greeting which the former President gave his erstwhile appointee was cordial but the extreme. Some pleasant experiences he had were recounted and Col. Roosevelt gave a splendid talk of his skill in chopping down an elm tree while his visitors were on the grounds. He laughed gleefully as Mr. Dancy and his companions filled their chairs with flowers from the massive tree. Cigars were passed around not be smoked by the recipients. They are cherished souvenirs of a happy occasion. The New York Herald, speaking of the visit of Mr. Dancy and his friends to Col. Roosevelt last Saturday, said: "Four prominent Negro Republicans from the South made the pilgrimage today. They were John C. Dancy, until recently Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, who made his pilgrimage torum, whom Col. Roosevelt appointed Collector of the Port at Charleston, S. C.; Harry S. Cummings, a member of the city council of Baltimore, Md., who seconded the Recorder of Deeds to the convention of 1904, and Gloria B. John Richmond, Va. They came here to ask Col. Roosevelt to go to Richmond in October to attend a Negro State Fair. He would take the matter under consideration and gave his visitors a cordial greeting. He engaged Mr. Dancy in private conversation for quite a while, speaking to him in a warm earnestness. He congratulated Dr. Crum with his recent appointment by President Taft to Liberia resident and consul-general to Liberia. He asked Dr. Crum to visit Sierra Leone to report to him on conditions there. The Washington American of last week "others, a rumor that Mr. Dancy is under investigation for the much-discussed collectorship of customs at Georgetown-Said the American; Champion Jack Johnson is expected here on the 28th as the guest of the two men who will be the key bearer of the order and an effort will be made to have him present the prizes to the winners of the competitive drill, which he be held during the convention nert week.

Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh has been discussing the Georgetown college football game, and it is expected that the question of Mr. Nyman's successor will soon be settled.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Johnson Jeffries Fight EXPRESSION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Culled from the leading Journals throughout the union Yet Jeffries was the most perfect specimen of the white man's superior physical manhood.—Exchange. Jack Johnson enjoyed the Fourth day of July with more glee than any other American.—Wagner, Okla. Johnson was cool from start to finish and proved Jeffries' athletic superior at every stage of the game.—The Forum. Both Johnson's "yellow streak" and Jeffries "superior statina" received some severe jolts Monday.—Detroit Informer. The prize fighter is not the standard of the man. Don't lose too much time with Jack Johnson's victory.—The Baptist Vanguard. No one thought for a moment that the much-talked-of champion would be beaten to a frazzle in fifteen rounds.—Durham Defender (N. C.). Jack Johnson is yet champion of this world, and he is all Negro and a man for himself and for his race and for his country.—Pensacola Brotherhood (Fla.). and skill the white race is master. They voluntarily declared this issue and compelled the Negro to take the short end of the proposition to fight the matter out.—Denver, Colo. Before the sun had hidden his face behind the western hills on July 4 the news had been flashed in every little town in the United States that Johnson, the great Negro pugilist, had knocked out Jim Jeffries with a touch. Jack is still champion of the world.—The Home News, Wilmington, N. C. Well, the white press and white sports, and as for that matter, the whites generally, made the Johnson-Jeffries fight a race issue. Then why get mad? If the whites had ben victorious they would have been yelling yet. Let us have a little fun out of the victory.—The eGorgia Broad-Axe. We knew that the white man is drunk with power and pride, but we contended that since he has so many monuments to his achievement, he must point to that he could stand a "little thing" in a Negro whipping a white man in an exhibition of Johnson is now the champion of the world, with an undisputed title. The first incident of importance after the visit of Halley's comet—The Southern Age (N. C.). Thenceforward the Fourth of July has a different significance with the fight the Johnson Day' is what they will call it—The Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va. The Atlanta Constitution published for the first time in its history a Negro on the grist page when it placed Johnson on there. Great Scott—The Chicago Defender. If every colored man would train as faithfully in his sphere of action as did Jack Johnson for that Reno fight the problem would be no more—The Baltimore Times. The victory of Jack Johnson over Jim Jeffries on last Fourth of July at Reno, Nev., settles all question as to the supremacy between the two men—Zanesville Advocate (Ohio). Jack Johnson is only a prize fighter, but the best prize fighter in the world. The best man in the world for the job that he is on—Odd Fellows' Journal. Why wouldn't the proposed around-the-world trip of Jeffries be a good thing for Jack? "Old kings, princes and powers bailing to kill the warm receptions?"—The Savannah Outlook Johnson has fully demonstrated what a man can accomplish when he proposes himself to be ready to grasp the opportunity at the psychological moment.—The Mountain Leader, Charleston, W. Va. If the white man decides to stop prize fighting the colored man can claim credit for having assisted toward high civilization. We hope so. Just as well have two credits.—The Leader. Johnson's victory over his white antagonist proved only one thing—that he was physically the best man. It developed absolutely nothing new in so far as the race is concerned.—The Illinois Idea. The white Philistines throughout the country bet on their Goliath and when he was done up they got sore in the head as they bolted in the pocket and began to maltreat black people.—The Philadelphia Tribune. Why suppress moving pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson fight and allow Dixon's lying, vulgar book to be sold and theaters to the disgusting dramatization, the Clansman"?—East Tennessee News, Knoxville. Pugilism is a brutal sport, but the majority of the would welcome either the loser's or winner's end of the Reno purse if it could be had without the accompanying risk—The Advocate, Charleston, W. Va. We have never believed that Jeffries was Johnson's equal when it came to scientific boxing, but were of the opinion that he could protect himself from punishment better than he really did—Rome Enterprise (Ga.). Now that Halley's comet has come and gone and Johnson has knotted Jeffries with the other safely back from Africa, this old world of ours may return soon to normal conditions—The Journal, Huntsville, Ala. Well, the Johnson-Jeffries fight ended as we had predicted, Johnson winning, and the only "hope of the white race" going down and out on Independence Day. We Americans are wont to look forward to with much anxiety.—Texas Freeman. If the Negroes are boasting and rejoicing elsewhere in the United States as they are in and around Jaffreys, their actions in Iowa over Jaffreys, their actions are going to damage the race in many sections—Baptist Informer, Muskogee, Okla. Johnson is undoubtedly the most skilled fighter that ever donned a glove. Thus we plainly see that when individual members in America they prove the equal of the best of the Anglo-Saxon and often their superior—Iowa State Register. Johnson has met Jeffries and the world knows the result. Johnson was an easy winner over Jeffries, defeating him in the science and endurance triumphing over bigotry and egotism—The Columbian, Louisville, Ky. The Negro race rejoices over the victory, and why not? The white people would have done the same if the result had been the opposite. We needed a black man to be Paul Lawrence Dunbar and certainly a jack Johnson—Amsterdam News (N. Y.) It is to be regretted that Jeffries and Johnson were pitted against each other as race prizes and as order prizes. Jeffries to fight his race pride and race prejudice were appealed to strongly and sustained throughout the time of training. The Standard, Lexington, Ky. In this hour of Johnson's victory the Negroes of the country should exercise their country should ignore discrimination and discretion and should refrain indulging in demonstrations and participating in discussions over the outcome in Reno. The Southern Reporter, Charleston, S. C. That the Negro race should feel highly esteemed is proud of their members their race is champion of champions is to be expected. There would be something wrong with us if we felt otherwise. All other Negroes are proud of their members achieve objective goals why not we?-Lester, in New York Age. The glorious Fourth was much enjoyed by both races. Jeffries-Johnson battle. All Christendom opposes prize fighting and wishes there was no such thing as a prize fight. As race we have nothing to gain. As race fighting with the white man. The Piedmont Voice, Glenwood, S. C. The success of Jack Johnson on the Fourth of July should be an inspiration to the Negro of this country. He has shown in unmistakable manner what can be done by through preparation for anything he undertakes.—The Star, Newport News, Va. Jack Johnson, the Negro, knocked out Jim Jeffries, the pride and last hope of the white race, at Reno, Nev., on the Fourth of July. That is the whole story condensed. But it was a matter of white people had made it so, because they wanted to prove that in the perfection of athletic knowledge and skill the white race is master. They voluntarily declared this issue and compelled the Negro to take the short end of the proposition to fight the matter out—Denver, Colo. Before the sun had hidden his face behind the western hills on July 4 the news that he was the very little veto of the United States that Johnson, the great Negro pugilist, had knocked out Jim Jeffries in the fifteenth round. Jack is still champion of the world.—The Home News, Wilmington, N. C. Well, the white press and white sports, and as for that matter teh whites generally, made the Johnson-jeffries fight a white man in an exhibition of whites had benn victorious they would have been yelling yet. Let us have a little fun out of the victory.—the eGorgia Broad-Axe. We knew that the white man is drunk with power and pride, but we contended that since he had so many monuments to his achievements to point to that he could stand the thing to be a Negro white man in an exhibition of brute force without any display of feeling.—The World, Indianapolis. The world was made to feel that it was the white man against the black man, and that in order to show the superiority of the Saxon brain and brawn over Negro of the English, he must win. He was published up as the hope of the white race, and as their representative must show his superiority over the Negro.—The Afro-American, Baltimore. Mr. John Arthur (Jack) Johnson of Galveston, Tex., the world's champion prize fighter, still holds all laurels of the ring titles of the whole world, and that means something to Galveston, as well as to New York, where he must square a square one between two clever men in the art of pugilism.—The City Times, Galveston, Tex. The victory of Jack Johnson over Jim Jeffries in a prize fight in Reno, Nev., last Fourth of July has caused a great commotion in this country. We fail to see why it should be so. The Negroes are of course proud of J. Arthur Johnson, but they are not going to lose their minds in the victory.—The Nashville Globe. Mr. Jack Johnson, a Negro, stands today the champion heavyweight pugilist of the world. It can hardly be said that his success in defeating the great Jeffries was a miracle. He was the champion in his blood. It is to be hoped that Mr. Johnson will make good use of his great fortune so deservedly earned.—The Yonkers Standard (N. Y.). Johnson, cool, deliberate and determined, made a punching bag out of the boilermaker. Pride of race made the white man's friends beg the black champion to give him a race' be saved the humiliation of a knockout at the hands of the greatest fighter the world has ever known—a Negro.—The New Century, Norfolk, Va. We fear the victory of the brutal encounter of Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries and the success that came to the Afro-American, if extra precautions are not exercised, will stir up racial strife. It is hoped that such will not be the case, but already in some of the cases a feeling hardy in the evidence that tendency.—The Philadelphia Courant. The thing in this fight we as a race value most is that through all the insults and misstatement Jack Johnson was acted upon his lips and courteous words to all. If true politeness is the mark of a gentleman, it should be Gentleman Jack in place of Gentleman Jim.—The Beacon Light, Salt Lake City, Utah. Is it possible that the men who lost the money in Jeffries are the last monkey witch go down the sports? Jeff was not doped; that was sure; he was examined by the best experts in the business, such as Corbet, Monroe, Cornert, Farmer Burns, Gotch, Bob Armstrong and a host of others.—The Seattle Searchlight (Wash.). The Johnson-Jeffries fight may have injured us in some sections and increased race prejudice in some others, but on the other hand, in showing that certain traits and characteristics are inherent in us and when fairly and fully developed make us one of the most powerful races of people on the most of the globe.—Richmond Planet (va.) Yes, the Fourth of July has come ane gone. The big fistic contest between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries is but a small part of the world's great sporting records. The fight was, contrary to the expectation of many, a square game. As Jeffries said after being defeated, he was won by the best man, the team he was on by and about it."—spokane Citizen (Wash.). The great prize ring contest has been pulled according to agreement and appointment at Reno, Nev., thus ending the long-drawn, agonizing suspense of the "sporting world." May we not dare hope that we will win the country at large, from the violent contagion of that morbid sentiment which characterizes that part of the American republic suffering from Negrophobia?—Wadesboro (N. C.) Enterprise. That Jeffries was beaten, merely serves to saps the vigor of early manhood. The exhibition of race and color hatred was the most marked feature of the whole affair. But the amount since the battle clearly shows how far away we are from the sentiment which has made the Star-Spangled Banner of the United Nations a national tribute (Texas Express). Stand up, thou brawny son of African lineage, and let the world see thee! Bare they form and let all admirers of the physical hero behold thy muscular frame. He is the man of the world, soles of thy nimble feet to the tips of thy hammer-like hands, with which thou didst lay low thine antagonist and thereafter lay low thy antagonist to claim to the title of heavyweight champion of the world.—Birmingham Reporter (Ala.). Somewhere between Oakland and this city between the acquaintance Jeffries is mumbling his sorrowful excuse for defeat. That which the daily press tried for months to make a racial contest for supremacy passed off as a more contest for the public, and won fairly. Now that same daily press is trying to recede from the position it has been holding and is offering such opportunities as same, fearless organs should have offered ago. The New Age, Los Angeles, Cal. Before the battle was waged the public press, with all energies that it was capable of, declared that this would prove the Caucasian race, with its thousands of officers, could not achieve the physical condition; could not undergo the stamina that the Caucasian race, with its thousands of officers, could not achieve the physical condition. They claimed it absolutely impossible; the developments of this fight have emphatically refuted this argument and have proven that such is not the case. —The Advocate, Portland, Ore. The most intense race prejudice was the occasion of the Johnson-Jeffries prize fight, the most bitter race feeling. The price could handle the mob. Hundreds of fights were allowed to go on, and dozens of colored citizens were arrested under the most bitter police without being treated of cours, the defeat of Jiffries was a bitter pill for a prejudiced class to swallow, the more thoughtful white people took in the fight, and the white men could also. The white man cannot expect always to be in the front rank without competition, and we all should look at this thing —The Bee, Washington. For lessons, Voice and Piano. Reasonable rates.

BLAZED A WAY WHICH OTHERS ARE FOLLOWING—NEW IDEAS ‘Thousands of men and women have remained out of Fraternal Or- ders because they objected to the time-worn custom of marching under fying banners and streaming Regalia, also the practice of doing naught ut 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 Frater- nal Orders in the world. OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION IS OUR BEQ-ROCK OF STRENGTH— DON’T OWE A DOLLAR By careful and conservative business methods we place our finan- clal 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 goon 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. BIG MONEY FOR WIDE-AWAKE DEPUTIES— WRITE FOR INSTRUCTIONS Deputies can reap a rich harvest setting up Mosaic Lodges. For instance, a Deputy sets up a Lodge of thirty members at $3.50 each; that is $105.00, His Charter will cost him $15.00 and the Policy for each member 75¢, which would amount to $22.0, leaving the Deputy a clear profit of $67.50 on one Lodge. A Deputy of ordinary ability should set up two Lodges per month; a wide-awake hustling Deputy should set up four or five. If you are not a member of the Mosaic Templars of America, join at once. If there is not a Lodge in your community, write to headquarters and we will send somebody to organ- ize one. We have 25,000 members scattered over the United States. Women enjoy the same rights, benefits and privileges as the men. We ure helping these thousands and will help you if you will only em- brace the opportunity that we are holding forth.

GEORGE L. KNOX, Publisher and Managing Editor. ELWOOD C. KNOX, Business Manager. Rare July days. Jack seems to have an affinity in the bastile. Maryland has provided for a $100,000 hospital for the Negro insane. The House of Representatives of Georgia, by a vote of 70 to 29, refused to go on record as being against Negroes holding office in that State. Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma, has issued a proclamation calling a special election for August 2 to vote on the "grandfather clause" constitutional amendment, which, his opponents say, will disfranchise the Negro. The colored business men of Chicago are showing the right business spirit. A large delegation will visit New York for the purpose of influencing the meeting of the convention to that city next year. It's the way to do it. Yellow Bridge is gone now and "Indiana Avenue" is threatened with extinction. O thou sacrilegious! ye will be for filling up the canal next, destroying our venetian dreams of the future. But "Speedway," the proposed substitute is not so bad. The Hon. Herbert F. Wright, United States Consul at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, arrived in New York Monday morning, accompanied by his wife, on a leave of absence. They left for their home in Marshall, Iowa, where Mrs. Wright will remain, owing to ill health. Dr. Booker T. Washington was very fortunate in securing ex-President Roosevelt to make a speech at the forthcoming Negro Business Men's League convention. Mr. Roosevelt chose to speak the last day. No breaking for home at the close of the second day is assured. Dr. Booker T. Washington called on ex-President Roosevelt last Tuesday in New York, the chief purpose of which visit was to have Mr. Roosevelt consent to address the Negro Business Men's League, which holds its convention in that city, August 17, 18 and 19. Mr. Roosevelt agreed to address the body on the last day of the meeting, August 19. The New York meeting had already promised to be a record breaker, but will be much more attractive now since the distinguished ex-president will appear. The league is a very worthy organization; it has done much good by way of encouraging colored people in the trades and business enterprises—industrialism in general. Hundreds of delegates will gather from all parts when they will exchange ideas, offer advice and in all ways contribute to the sum of knowledge gained by experience in the respective fields of endeavor. The league owes its origin to Dr. Booker T. Washington, who seems to have the faculty for knowing the great needs of the race. He has been by it in its many successful meetings, giving his support and advice, until today the organization is a synonym of industry and respectability. BISHOP E. W. LAMPTON DIES The Rev. Dr. Edward W. Lampton, bishop of the A. M. E. church, is dead. The sad intelligence came as a shock to the members of that great church, and to the Negroes in general, who knew him, owing to his services to his race and to the great great church to which he belonged. The bishops, it pleases us to say, of the various Negro churches have the esteem due the class. They are known and honored as good, God-fearing men, leaders of the race in all matters by virtue of the high calling. They stand in the front ranks, and thus when one falls a rift is made that is plain and unmistakable. It is needless to say that the Negro nation mourns his taking off, feeling that a very great loss has been inflicted. This from a worldly viewpoint, however, since we have been taught that "not a sparrow falleth but what its God doth know." Surely He will not think less of man—one who gave Him the glory and honor, doing his utmost in raising up those standing most in need of it. Bishop Lampton died, July 16, of nephritis, at his summer home at Petoskey, Mich., where he was spending the summer. He had been financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Society seven years, and served as grand master of the colored Masonic lodge of Mississippi the same length of time. His wife died four years ago, but four daughters survive. The burial will be at Greenville, Miss., his late home. Because the three days' emancipation celebration held in San Antonio, Tex., resulted in but one arrest, Judge Buckley, of that city's court, decided to dismiss the man arrested in token of the quiet and exemplary observation. He suggested that the colored people could do wonderful things if they were of a mind to do so. He spoke a simple truth. They can do very much more than they do—the many. GEORGE LITTLE WORSTED IN A SUIT AGAINST CHAMPION JOHNSON. George Little, former manager for Jack Johnson, sued the champion in a Chicago court last Wednesday to recover a $1,200 diamond ring worn by Johnson. Municipal Judge Hume ruled at the request of Johnson's attorney, Gustave E. Beerley, that Little must file a specific statement of his claim. He insists on knowing where, when and how he got the ring. A continuance was requested until August 29, at the request of Johnson's attorney. It is thought that Johnson has the better of the argument so far. POLITICS IN CHICAGO. Two Colored Candidates in Race. BY CARY B. LEWIS. Special to THE FREEMAN 9—In the making of the Republican slate two colored candidates have been put on the ticket. Frank Ireland has been put on the campaign slate and Ed. Green to run the legislature in the First District in this city. They are very popular men and they have been receiving congratulations from their friends from all sections of the city. They have not as yet begun to make the campaign campaign statement to the former correspondent they will make the "fight of their lives." The Democrats are getting out of a harmony ticket and a number of Negroes, headed by attorney S. A. Watkins in the courts, with play politics during the coming election. PAST WEEK AT LOUISVILLE BY W. H. GOODALL. Office No. 308 Center street. LOUISVILLE—(Special)—Only a few days have passed since the gates of the city swung wide open upon the hinges of hospitality, to bid welcome to the National Association of Colored Women, the city of Chicago. It was a magnificent gathering, and seldom do our citizens have an opportunity to behold such an assemblage of wif, beauty, learning and good clothes. Some of the students have a fertile imagination, apt illustration and exhaustive treatment. The speeches were fully up to the standard, and the music, under the Louisville Choral Society, was well received. After a preliminary meeting in the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, the body went into its business sessions at the Central Methodist church on Chestnut street, closing Friday with a grand banquet at Lederkron hall. The visiting guests and delegates had scarcely departed from the confines of the city, where they had spent many happy and pleasant hours, more trouble than usual in organizing the big-handed manner in which the committee on arrangements had conducted the affairs. There were charges of grafting, counter charges of bribery, and other crimes and re-criminations and re-criminations were all hurled to and fro, ad nauseum. On the whole, we may say that the meeting of the N. A. C. W. failed most signally to further the aims and purposes for which the committee had planned. There is a coalmant "bunch" in this city who are so incurably afflicted with "itching palms"—limited in number but incomensurable in gall—to whom no occasion can be sacred enough, and to whom no other lofty in its purposes as to make them forget themselves. Now the question arises in the minds of many, what good has been accomplished in the way of bettering the condition of the city, and what answers, "What." When will the Negroes who need "uplifting" feel the beneficial effect of all this fuss and feathers? Echo answer, "When." How is the Negro "uplifted" by being "shaken down" for his money to the man's coffers. Echo answers, "How." Mrs. Nora K. Bell composed a song and dedicated it to the Kentucky Federation, bearing the title, "What Is the Alm? The Answers, " No one ca ntl, for nobody knows." Which would be be the better, to collect all this vast sum of money that has been raised for the students to it give scholarships to colored orphan children, or to gather all of these funds and dump them into a white man's lap? Echo answers, Which. The pretenitions are the splendid halls owned and controlled by colored people, either of which is better fitted in every way for a banquet hall; and notwithstanding the pretensions, they can build up the Negro race, the committee on arrangements deliberately passed up the Negro halls and rented a white man's hall. And the people follow such blind teachers? How are you uplifting the Negro, when you take his hard-earned pennies with your papers and collection baskets and entrance fees and make a large fund to be given to the man? Now, as to the grand feast which marked the closing scenes of this extravaganza, I gave up the prize in four midst of colored caterer, a Mr. Jordan, who, with his corps of helpers, is capable of servicing a banquet fit for a king, and who has varied experience, who well knows all the arts of fine service from the culinary department to the dining hall. To have such a feast would be a great task for this feast would have certainly been in keeping with the expressed intention of this body to help the race and teach what is the best way to run, the committee was expected to do. Now, what was the course pursued? Why, they employed a white caterer to serve the guests, and who would rather lose his right eye than to allow one members of that committee, who gave him the contract, a glass of soda or eat a dish of cream in his house. The committee visited the colored caterer and instructed him that they were considering his bid, and that if it should be approved, he would give the spoons. Then the committee got their heads together, like dark clouds consulting on foul weather; the result of their discussion was that the man called upon the white man and gave him the contract, willing to use wooden spoons or to eat with their fingers, so long as a man would condescend to take their money. Such vertebrateless subservency, such base spaniel fawning, such cringing, groveling sycophancy, quite overcrows the spirit, lacrature the heart and gives one a sense of being in the wild to get away from the fresh and the scene; we rush out into the fresh and pure air and gaze at the stars in heaven; we wonder and ponder; we feel our lips pucker in scorn; we feel the air in the air of contempt; we wring our hands and in the agony and delirium of despair we THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. cry aloud, O! Ignorance, thy name is "nigger." All the excuses, subtertues and evasions have been used to justify the giving of the thunderstorms to the preference to a colored man are trifling and idiotic in the presence of the stubborn fact that all this "federating" is claimed to be based upon the desire to uplift hate and prejudice, on numerous occasions, so absurd as to stagger belief, was made by-this committee when it requested a certain man to deliver the welcome address, who had, on numerous occasions, characterized Negro women as "cow." Fortunately for all, he was not in the city to address them. It may be that from the loins of futurity there will be a need to publicize people who will have that high self-respect and disinterested desire to blaze the path to nobler and better things, as becomes the dignity of leadership; but for the present, at least, we must endure these soul-sicknesses and publicize our courage and fortitude. For we do know, as has been truly said, "Misery is trodden on by many, and being low is never relieved by any." Miss Deadman, of *St. W.* street, entertained Mrs. Dr. Hayes and Mrs. Etta Turner, of Indianapolis, Ind. Mrs. W. H. Lyles, of Chicago, Ill., is the guest of Mrs. Foster, of No. 1228 W.

White, of 1512 W. Chestnut street, was called to Rivanna, Va., on account of the illness of her sister, Mrs. Emma Cook. Mrs. White is a member of the Sunshine Embroidered club and a active worker in club work. Her presence was sadly missed at the N. A. C. W., as she represents one of the few persons in her club, noted for her wit, vivacity and powers of entertaining. She is the husband of a charge of the cafe at the Fountain Ferry Amusement Park, as head waiter, and by his genial manners has endearled himself to all of the patrons of that very popular cafe. He is a full crew of the efficient waiters and is respected and admired for his stern but gentle qualities. He resides in a most beautiful residence on W. Chestnut street. Mrs. F. L. McGee and daughter, of St. Paul, Minn., have been here in attendance upon the N. A. C. W., after having been royally entertained by the "Elite" of the Louisville society for two weeks, left on last Thursday for their home. Miss Mattie Ellis, of Lexington, KY, is in the city, and last week was the guest of Miss Carolina Steward of St. Joseph's Church, where she will be the guest of Miss Lucille H. Annis, at 2404 Magazine street. A twilight reception and dance was given by Mrs. Mattie Oliver and Miss Marletta Oliver in honor of Mrs. L. W. Cooper's house party.

Manager Mills, of the St. Louis Giants Baseball Club, has one of the best colored uniforms the country under his wing; and this has been demonstrated by the wonderful article of ball they have been playing in the past several weeks. On July 5 and 4 the St. Louis Giants defeated the Chicago Bears before the largest crowds that ever assembled under one roof to witness a semi-professional ball game in the city of St. Louis. The Giants gave Memphis two wallhouses. St. L. Giants.....3 0 2 0 3 0 4 2 *—14 Memphis Union.....1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0—1 Batteries—Lyons and Primm; Talbot, Lee and Turner. Attendance, 4,250.

His brilliant catching and accurate base throwing are certainly a pleasure to the face. Oh, you Stevens, keep up your brilliant work in the box and you will be reckoned among the greatest boxmen in the country. Big Chief Nathan Knight has gained the title of Home Run Knight. The player can't keep him from hitting it over the fence. Manager Mills is all smiles these days. Alex Jones is now quite a favorite with the ball, because of their wonderful one-hand catches he has been making in left field and saving several games. It seems as if the Giants are going to set a new record in winning victories. They have annexed their twenty-sixth victory. CHAS. A. MULLS. A VERY FINE GAME. Special to THE FREEMAN. The Pensacola, Fla., Cubs and the Pensacola Stars played a very fine game last week, and the winners by a score of 5 to 4.

KEYSTONES, OF SAN ANTONIO, TEX. COMING NORTH. Special to THE FREEMAN. The Keystones are the coming club. When the Chicago club was here some of the players said that William Gatewood couldn't pitch ball. He is the best pitcher in the league on day. None of them can pitch like him. James Shawles knocks home runs whenever the fans ask for one. Eugene Barton makes all kinds of crazy catches out of the pitcher's strike zone. John Weibe, another Petway, throws like him, and the Texas players won't run on him. Gatewood got him from out of the sticks. The fans nearly cried Sunday when little Davis hurt his ankle. He be out of the game for a week or two. The Keystones leave here August 15 bound for Minneapolis. The first stop is St. Louis. And from there to St. Louis Memphis, and from Indianapolis, Chicago and Minneapolis. News of the Sporting World IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

SOME DOINGS OF THE WHITNEY MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY Beginning on the night of July 11, "April Fool," by Mr. S. Tutt Whitney, was presented for three nights, starring Mr. Whitney and Miss Mable Brown. It was a celebration of the matte the Whitney many shows. It was well atten- ted. The next half of the week saw many things to do to the company, the company. The opening blast being a real old-time Negro minstrel, followed by vaudeville olio. Miss Mettle Taylor appeared in her famous fire dance, and Went exceptionally well. Then she so lost. Mr. Blake as a softer soloist, and gave good account of herself. Misses De Heard and Dean appeared as a sketch team and took the house by storm. Miss Dean has created quite an excitement in this section as a cone- tainer. She and Dean Hard go to the Pekin at Norfolk next week. If one was asked in what Mr. Whitney showed up the stronger, tragedy or comedy, it would be a hard question to answer. Mr. Whitney showed up the stronger, followed De Heards and De came "The Miser," by Mr. Whitney. In this Mr. Whitney, Mr. L. P. Gardner and Miss Mable Brown were shown to be real actors. Mr. Whitney showed up the daughter brought screams from the audience, when she finished her lines. Mr. Whitney's song not only showed his ability as a song writer, but disclosed the role he played. The act, so rumor has it, is one of the greatest ever presented in Newport News. Mr. J. J. Weaver closed the oloo with a tragic comedy monologue. As a monologue he surprised the entire bunch, as he did with his monologue work before. Following his monologue he rendered "A King of the Desert," the rendition of which showed him to be truly a great baritone. Both monologue acts were that of Mr. J. J. Weaver. The show was closed by a sketch of Mr. S. P. Gardner's, which left the audience yelling with joy. On the second night of this show Miss Brown was born to Golde Chapple, appeared behind the sketch and took their share of encounters, and took their share of encounters. The company soon makes another site its regular course of vclsstude. And, next THE ROYAL PAUM THEATER, GREENVILLE, MISS. The Royal Paula was reopened on Friday night. July 8, by the Savoy Stock Company. The company arrived in the hotel in the gorgeous City, and it was fully 9:30 o'clock before the curtain rose on the opening act. The house was filled from the pit to the dome, and each of the performers was at their feet with the thought that it was the best colored show that has ever played in Greenwich, Miss. Allen sang in Bamboo Land, followed by Jack Akers and Eugene Liggins, that ever-piecing song and dance team; and the boys went some sure. "Bam," what do you think of the Ransoms, James on May, were next on in a comedy skit entitled, "Captain Zabo, and the house went wild," and Howards in their latest screen called "A Crap Shooter in Society," and they put it on. The company gave three cheers for Jack Johnson for bringing home the bacon; but Ed. Howard says that Jack carried home the entire Armour Packing Company. But Mr. Savoy Smith says hello to Jas. Clark.

Ms. Barnett, with the complete success with her Cowboy Girls, and said: "Why don't my Cat write?" Mr. Bonnie Clark, our female imperiousness, was quite a hit at Alonquin, was quite a hit at Alonquin, Mrs. Blanch Beechman is the town talk at Geneva Lake, Wis., with her big act, singing "On the Road to Murrey."

Bebec, the regular hot-foot maid, a big hit at Marengo, Ill., is singing, "I Am Crazy, I Am." He will see Frank for the first or 4st half of the winter. THE LYRE THEATER, LOUISVILLE. Special to The Freeman The show this week is simply a riot. Brown and Wallel in character sketch open the bill. Next came a buck and a dancer, who stopped all would-be dancers from moving a foot. Next came Pauline Dempsey, a woman of a wide reputation. She is a dancer who gets through its peaches. She responded to several encounters nightly. Next came Joe Simms, a head liner act special from Chicago, and he simply cleaned up; he was a dancer who him to bow. The orchestra consists of Wm. Taylor, piano; Fanning, clarinet; Harry Hoskins, drums. They play some nice music and are thorough music-cla SWISS AIRDOME, DALLAS (LON- DON) TEXAS. This is the place where too many people go. "Oh, Mrs. Austin, please sell me a ticket, I want to see that show so bad," am sorry, Mrs. Austin replies, "but the arena is too small, and there is not enough room in the big arena left for a baby to cut teeth in." Now that might sound a little fishy, but it might right dope for people are being turned into the biggest night's special police are kept busy keeping the sidewalks clear. We have built two compartments of circus seats and still the place is crowded every night and Skiing is the only sport they can play. The ticket seller is being besieged with the people saying "Don't you turn me away; please ticket," the same tune of Alabama Bomber, even if along nicely. Mr. Stack Moore and Hesekiah Mobley, two or our crack show people, went out to the Dallas-Oklahoma City ball game in their autos, and I can say they are the most popular in the city; in fact, it is hard to find a more aristocratic bunch than those holding down the boards at the Swiss Airdome, whenever any of the bunch are in public, we even have them "They work at the Airdome; ain't they sporty, and haven't they got a show?" S. A. Austin produced "Coontown Justice," the night's lights, and it was some of the Austin men in his wearing apparel. Mr. Dave Lowe is playing the titled role in the big success this week, "Hop Sing, The Chink, or Trouble He is sure there with the Chink goods," and he will handle the "fun" role. Nuff said. The show has been greatly strengthened by getting that very funny character comedian, Sandy Burns, late of the People's and Palace Theaters, at the Houston, and the Coon sketching, Burt Barn, at Barn Mobley was a scream, and called for coores than their wind would allow. They can sure run "standing still." MissDot Mobley is without a doubt a Dallas favorite, for she gives her the hand when she passes the screen for they know something is going to happen. Reed Connors has won the distinction of being the best illustrated songwriter, for she has given whole lot, as it is a very hard job. The orchestra is on the level with any doing vaudeville, and Prof. Jack Johnson is all smiles over it; but I think he is getting home for a visit. We, like Prof. Johnson, missed her very much, as she was one of the factors that went to make the show a success. John Walton, the trap singer, gave better and better. Dave Lowe says, "I missed White, Billy Henderson and company Austin would like to hear from good performers at all times. State all in first time. The performers in Dallas read The Freeman. LAGMAN'S THEATER, MOBILE, ALABAMA. Nothing but the Billy Henderson Tennessee Troubadours"; they reign supreme in the city of Mobile, and "believe me" they can make him making good. Hir or shine, it's a crowd and that may why it is the best show that has even played the city. The name of the illly Henderson Tennessee Troubadours, and the company of such artists as: Minnie Jones, that pleasing little soubrette; Alma Hughes, Peningeau, a favorite rag-timel artist; Maud Campbell, a favorite rag-timel artist; Maud Dearborn, the smallest soubrette on the American stage; Little Willy Lofton, the funny comedian; John Day, the "Strawberry Singer"; and the ever popular "Shadow." Without a doubt this is the most popular "burch" that has ever played this season; they are making good week they are making good. lily has really got the Mobile people's goat; and they say that they must have him and his company five more weeks. Well they have five more weeks, and Twelve weeks is not so bad, especially when they have just closed a twenty-five weeks engagement in Houston, Tex. The jump from Houston was just $128.25, and the company that lily has, 200 don't hurt The company sends kindest regards to the profession generally, excepting the management of Palma Palace Theatres, Houston, Tex.

GEORGE FREEMAN AND HIS TWO CLEVER MAN JACK- ONVILLE, FLA Special to The Freeman. George Freeman, stage manager of the Paradise Theater, 170 Peters street, Atlanta, Ga., has just closed a successful engagement and spent week's vacation with his people at Birmingham, Ala. Freeman and his two clever "picks" opened at the Globe Theater July. It in attendance was a well-known comedy, which was the hit of the bill. Freeman sends regards to all of his friends in and out of the profession. Web Williams and Monroe Tabor and the writers, write. Would like to hear from Silas Freeman of the Golden Gate Quartette. AIDA OVERTON WALKER TO JOIN THE SMART SET COMPANY. Next season Alda Overton Walker will be a member of the Smart Set Company, which is headed by S. H. Julley. It is the first time he has signed a brittle signed with the Barton and Wiswell to appear with the show as an extra act. The show will be on September 11. The show will open early in September. When Miss Walker joined the Red Moon Company last season it was with the understanding that she was to be put out in the fall. She was to play the road Cole and Johnson wrote the play in which she was to appear, but a few weeks ago it was privately announced that she would be part of many of their houses, the proposition was abandoned. It is said that Barton and Wiswell will production during the season of 1910-11. The withdrawal of both Bert Williamsm and Cole and Johnson from the producing field leaves Barton and Wiswell in sole possession of the colored amusement park, which will be between the firm and the various booking syndicates, only companies under their management will be played in the various productions. The manager Stair & Havlin and the Affiliated Theatres Company. Barton and Wiswell announce that, in addition to their attractions, which consist at present of the D. H. Dreyer, who will be assisted by Aida Overton Walker, the Southern Smart Set headed by S. Tutt Whitney and Homer Tutt, and the Down in Dixie Minstrels, headed by the D. H. Dreyer shortly produce two new musical comedies. BIG SHOW TOP DESTROYED. Just at the opening of the evening performance of the Ringling Bros. World's Greatest Shows at Watertown, S. D., July 14, 2014, the ringling bros. came and destroyed the big top, blowing it over and causing it to catch fire from the hanging lights. No one was seriously hurt. The Annex had closed and the ringling bros. had been routed to the cars, but were overcome by the storm and forced to seek refuge in ditches and cling to big rocks and telegraph poles to prevent be blown away. The ringling bros. were the worst of its kind in twenty-five years. James Jackson was blown into the river, but was not hurt. Frank Bell prayed and cried for his sister. The day it was the last day and does not allow anyone to talk South Dakota to him. Messrs. Pope, Walker, London and to him reached the cars ahead of the storm and missed the sand shower. George McCoy and Walter Hinson are authority on making sand sand sands, and they firmly devoured that proverbial peck of dirt. Sad, but true. the wind blew the hair off the top of the George Israel's head, changed Jesse Dockett's b-flat clarionet to an flat London and Franklin are still trembling. At Sioux Falls, July 6, the show gave two performances with honly side enclosed. Since we are all O. K, we thank Him above. We regards to all friends, we are the boys who bet on Jack with Ringling Bros, Circus. ALLEN'S TROUBAADOURS AT THE SKYDOME, NASHVILLE, TENN. Feet So Sore Couldn't Walk Down Stairs A they made, and were forced to take encore after encore. Mr. Allen is well pleased with his experience at the season. He believes that he has the best behaved bunch of performers that are on the road. He has been very careful in selecting them. The company is as follows: G. W. Allen, Madam Lazell Allen, Mary Jackson, Mr. Gibson, E. Gibson, Zellar Gibson, Willie Owens, Ed Davis. They are cleaning up for every company on the road. The entire aggregation was happy when they read the fifteenth round of the Johnson-Jeffries tournament. Johnson had knocked Jeffries out. The show was about half way through the after-piece when this event occurred, but when the news arrived the show stopped right there and the curtain went down, and the crowd was shouted and yelled until they were all hoarse, for every member of Allen's Troubadours had their money up on Jack Johnson. After the night performance the company had a banquet at the Copeland Hotel. The company sends regards to all in and out of the profession. Mr. Allen says hello to the team, Kevin Kenner and Louis, Earthquake, Leroy Knox and Blossom bunch, also Jennings and Jennings, Johnson and Watts, and was at? Managers of all colored theatres, write, also friends. Address. G. W. ALLEN. 111 Fourth Ave. S. Copeland Hotel, Nashville, Tenn. SPECIAL NUMBER SOLD LIKE HOT CAKES And Theatrical Folks Were Overjoyed with Fight. The mid-summer theatrical and sporting number issued July 9 by THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY was a success in some particulars, but not in the sense that the management had hoped for. At least every performer, theatre and musical organization throughout the country in the special number, we found it almost a matter of impulse in every manner. The person who would give us their support, viewing the fact that we had been so faithful to them in the past, could not be heard from at all. The reason of these disappointments to the strong interest that was built about the Johnson-Jeffries fight, for their were numerous performers who either placed all their money, time and attention toward the company, gave up their savings to go to the ring side. We are now certain that all interest in newspapers, and everything else under the sun went begging for the sake of the press. We are now aware that there are in a measure, just proud of the results. However, we hope that the issue proved of pleasant reading to you and that it had the desired impression upon the theatrical and sporting world, as well as the general public, that we have it amid trying circumstances. We had asked for the write-ups and illustrations of many colored theatres, and not one responded, even though we have had to unabashed them all, but they saw to cause to rally. Sometimes we wonder why our people have the nerve to ask Negro newspaper publishers why they don't publish larger papers, when they won't support an eight-pair of fre advertisements. BUT THE FREEMAN is not discouraged, for some day soon we intend to issue a real theatrical number of a very classy and well-dressed play, for your continued patronage and wish each and all success and continued happiness. Clever Attraction at Fourteenth and West Streets. At Fourteenth and West streets there is a good sized tent standing where one of the best vaudeville shows that has ever been conducted by Mr. E. D. Lee, one of the best-known showmen in the country. In fact, the crowds that attend there each week are astonishing. Theance is of the best and is surely pleasing the public, which is a very critical one. One finds every comfort available in visiting this canvas playhouse, and last Tuesday night he saw a good show and the crowd inside and out reminded one of a real carnival of fun, with all its brilliant lights—the music, songs and mirrith—walt-along with a body present, even to Bonnie at the gate. As to the attraction or performance, I don't think I ever saw a finer company than players. My姐妹's aggregate of finish to finish they entertain in the best manner possible. The opening begins with a first part minstrel that is a corker, and, believe me, gets the applause because there is nothing better. But what we want to say is that Goodwill is an artist, bubbling over with genuine humor. All told Manager Lee has put together one of the clearest little companies of the world, but without a doubt they will make good, for it is seldom that you can find seven people so clever as to be able to take any part in a story, a story long story short, they can all do something. IDLE HOUR THEATER AT MILL EDGEVILLE. GA. We are tills in the business here, and are getting along O. K. Monday, July 4, we were visited by the baseball team from the University of Michigan's Milledgeville's club, for a series of three games, which brought to our city a good crowd from out of town. The game was very bad. We had run most of the day, but nevertheless, it did not keep the people from THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER James De Costa, the well-known tenor singer, opened the big show at 7:30 in the evening with one of F. B. Haviland's late compositions, "Somebody Else." Always a hardy singer, he hit of the season. Mr. W. R. Jackson, the electrician, next placed the Edison moving picture machine in operation, introducing a high-class film, entitled "An American Dream." Through Dreamland." Then Prof. C. E. Hawk sang that only colored illustrated song, "Good Evening, Caroline." With the rendition of this song the house just went wild with applause, one after another, but he was compelled to sing the chorus over. Next to be heard from was the two jolly fun producers, Madam Susie G. Carwin and James E. Rogers, who kept the band on the road and start to finish of their singing and talking act. James E. Rogers them go when he sings F. B. Haviland's latest song hit, "A Good Old Dollar BILI" after a good clean up, singing "Cupid's L O. U." and one Vilzer's latest out, "I Never Knew This Town at All" Till My Wife Went Away." The performance of the evening was closed with a high-class mind-reading machine or single, anything you blind-folded with her back to the audience.

After leaving Chicago last week, Jack Johnson went to New York, where he was the gyroscope of all eyes. Chicago was been in the city for Twenty Century Limited that pulled in it more than three hours later, but the little thing of waiting did not tend to the crowd. The sixteen thousand people assembled to tuck off their hats to the conqueror at Reno. One hundred mounted police were on duty to help things in awe, in event on gossip, with mounted reserves abeyance. But the good-natured Neagroth scarcely needed so much show of authority, and thus seeing honor him. the key to refusal of Police Commissioner Baker to allow several brass bands to lead a procession of one hundred automobiles through the streets. The angered his friends and admirers, who planned to hold the automobile parade at words. all kinds of owners of garages and private automobiles refused to rent machines to the colored people for use in the parade, but two of them were in the carriage, willing to drive cars away, if necessary, to have plenty on hand. Seventy-colored people were found who own cars, and these were commandeered. The monster reception planned by the cooled Godothamus was sheared of some of its more interesting functions. Johnson was not permitted to make a speech at Baron Wilkinson's win $10,000 the champion and stood ready to expend considerable of it in making the wokin ring. This by.way of lunch and sundries, which affair was disarranged by the delay of the train. In order to keep up with the following in circulation: the hail, Jack Johnson, the absolute champion of the world! "To every colored man, woman and child in Greater New York. 'Be at the central station at 5:30 a.m. Monday morning and let us shake the hand of the staiwart athlete any way you can—in vehicles or on foot—but come any way. Be sure to come. Be Johnson appeared at Hammerstein's Boot Garden last week at $3,000." The great question in pugilistic circles is Who will be the undoing of Johnson? After gazing in all directions, sweeping arms with any certainty to contest the rare distinction. One Earl Van Meter Lang known as the Harvard strong man, who has won two major awards that costs him merely one dollar per week, feels that it is the white man bounded duty to cut Mr. Jack down, but it this way: "It looks to me that it devolves upon me to have something to say to Mr. Johnson. It is the man who has had his against him, one would think, if he expects to become a fighting machine, a man who can a Greek gods and with good muscles for ordinary purposes, but not for battering rams the requisite to the game. A poplar tree takes up as much space and looks as much space, but what a difference a little difference makes. Some few have hopes that Jeffries has one more good fight in him; he has suggested that he is the man, with much enthusiasm, succeeded in getting within halfway distance of the "erstwhile" the other day after his long spell of reflection. Up until this time one no one had had opportunity to learn about his home. He had not even spoken to his wife, so it is said. After condescending to be once more congenial, Jeffries said that he was done with his work. He must be the final word anent Jim and Jack. Jim has no confidence in his ability to dislodge Jack at this day, and has the courage to say so. The effort to get up a go between Johnson and Langford is amusing. "Jack has not to gain, nor will food," and such like captions are beginning to appear in order to compel a fight. No one blames Langford very much, since he has not to gain, nor will food. There are a few fortunes picked up in a few weeks. So the nagging may be expected right along, since the investment is very small and the probable returns so great. Nagging some- Tommy Ryan says he has a good one getting in shape for the heavyweight championship. Tommy is a retired and unbeaten middleweight and also a trainer. He brought Jeffries into fame and thinks he is good for another champion. The new man is Con O'Kelly, a young Irishman, who has never trained. He unhorses Frank Gottch, champion wrestler of the world. Ryan says that within a week he have him as good as he has been, he gives a glove. They go it hard each day and with plenty of determination. Tom says O'Kelly will make a great fighter and Ryan is since declaration. Ryan's man only three months in the making. In that time, says Ryan, "He has learned more about the fight game than the average man could learn in a fight, he has had hard battle, knocking out Con O'Connor in three rounds. Ryan again says: "This big guy is awful and when the proper time comes put him on the board." But, on the level, this big harp gets better every day. I saw Jeffries come up from a no-account to the best scrapper in the world, never showed anything like this fellow. Apparently Ryan has something mighty to take to take some time from the public to finish. He is OF $3.50 RECIPE CURES WEAK MEN----FREE SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY —YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weak- ened manhood, failing memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drama or the follies of youth, that has cured it, and many others, that man right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think a man who wishes to regain his many power and ability, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed en- velope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a phys- ician who has made a special study of men who I am convinced it is the surest-acting commission for the cure of deficient man- hood. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that man anywhere who is weak and discounted with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with a harmful patient medicines, acting as a quickest-esteering restorative, upbuilding, FOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, to cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Dr. A. E. Robb set me a line like this: Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary docteur free of charge. A great many docteur charged $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing a prescription like this—but I send it certainly. course, Tommy isn't in the game for his health, and whatever he may say will need weighing. He may be talking for an audience and an audience of size at a "distic seance" is generally a realization of dreams. O'Kelly is only twenty-three years old. He stands 6 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches in his stocking feet and is as straight as a string. He weighs 225 pounds in fighting togs and trains not to take on weight, but to carry an and distribute his avoidupids in the proper manner about his big frame. This is Ryan's idea of how he should train. Tommy says O'Kelly will never enter the ring at less than 225 pounds. He says Con's frame is smaller than this weight. The Corkoman's rear greater than that of any man who ever entered the ring. With arms extended he measures $79\frac{1}{2}$ inches from finger tip to finger tip. His chest measures 44 inches, with a $4\frac{1}{2}$ expansion. His waist is 35 inches, his high 25 inches and his calf 16 inches. This powerfully built man keeps himself in perfect physical condition by careless physical advantages, his mode of living and the greatest ring masters who ever fought to guide him, there appears every chance of Ryan's prediction coming true. He is a master of the ring. Johnson. He probably would fight him now, but Ryan says no, and like the dutiful student he is, O'Kelly has left all his destinies in the hands of his master. --- Hugh McIntosh, the Australian fight man, is in and about New York. He brought about the Johnson-Burns fight. McIntosh won the championship. McIntosh won some weighty weights at his bidding in his far-away home, but he does not think there’s a man who can whip Jack. McIntosh knows who he is. Reno he hanked his coin on the black whirlwind, consequently he goes home several thousand to the good. He accompanied McIntosh to Reno. Lang is anxious to meet Langford or any heavyweight barring Johnson. Lang defeated Fitzsimons last winter, hence claims some share of the public’s attention. The Johnson-Little imbrogio is the top-liner on the pugilistic boards, Little being very much incensed at what John Fitzsimons did, and that it is nothing more than a gold brick. When he got in from Frisco he got busy at once, heading off rumors that struck him. He made disclosures that would startle the pugilistic world if Johnson didn’t behave himself. But Johnson can’t behave; he has given his story out and it is plain charges and denials. To begin with, Little said that "Johnson had not fought a square battle since he Kicked him in, and that the go with Kickin had just punched him had been fixed." This merely to start the ball rolling. If Johnson will answer this charge, he says he will open up a tale of entertainment such as class anything in the history of the ring. "The charge that I tried to bribe him to throw the fight, or ever for a moment entertained such an elaborate elaborate "It's ridiculous." could I gain by having the fight thrown when I already had money up that Johnson would win? Little gave it out that he was going on Gaga's career in college. Johnson. He offers this in evidence of his right doing. But the people are willing to hear the titing out in spite of his assertion. One Shakespeare might have said, like not this over-much protest- innocent hath ways of her own," and so forth. Little tells some close-up things about Johnson's family—his wife—making reference, they disembody, wore, more, the jacket they borrowed to his Gus. Jack won't like that very much, true or false. Such assertions ought to get things going, yet he did not. He can afford a jacket cool, since he has the shirt his strong box, where moths and other "extraneous possibilities" may not make inroads on it, nor be attached by any proxies. Little says that he did not "bust" some one over the head with a banjo while in camp. He makes numerous other denials and charges, of which are silly and insulting, like "I knew he had come to me with a proposition to divide everything 55 and 45, win, lose or draw, the long end to go to Jeff, but this version was made it should be half and half. We couldn't agree, and the division was made 75 and 25." "But although Johnson never openly approached me with an offer to throw the fight, he acted queerly in lots of ways in the past. He was a bit of a villain to him. He has had battles since I have been around, has been queer, and naturally I got rather dubious, for I was a little bit of a villain. Little got his $10,000 forfeit back and $16,500 from the fight pictures, receiving all tolled, according to his own statement, $47,000, which was clear money, less the $10,000 forfeit. He contends for $21,000 forfeit. He was not from his seat, carried out his threats made several days ago. Little appeared unexpectedly at Hammerstein's Theater last week, where the champion was performing, from his seat, walked down the aisle and attempted to mount the stage. Great excitement prevailed among the crowd, as several ushers ran forward and hurried the former manager. "I'll see him in my dressing room," shouted Johnson from the stage. More than six thousand people were gathered about the outside of the theater, talking about Going to the stage door, he again attempted to reach the stage, but was frustrated by stage hands. Then he went to Johnson's dressing room, where he and the champion began a confab that lasted for more than an --- Johnson, after finishing this week's engagement at Hammerstein's, New York, will go to London, England, and show at the Metropolitan Opera, where he will return reception in England, where race prejudice is scarcely known. The other day at the Vitascope plant, down in New York, Johnson had the distinguished honor of reviewing the fight, seeing it as it was, blow for blow. According to report "John Arbutin of the Metropolitan Opera in the encounter," not to mention one Jim Jeffries, who, by the way, was absent. Like the old soldier in the "Deserted Village," Johnson was crutch and showed how fields were won. Johnson leaned his big body forward with a grunt of satisfaction when the pictures flashed on the screen. Before the fight, he was keeping up a running monologue. "That's where he got to me good," he would ask. "What did he do?" Johnson, the white man's stiff struggle against his face, "But that didn't even jar me," he added, as the next blow was pictured. He caught his own expression as he was chaffing with Corbett across the room, then used, All through the exhibition he explained the tactical importance of each blow and the importance of the representation. His hearers were astonished to find that many of the blows which looked fiercest were recognized by the big crowd, but many of the blows which seemed to lack power, had been mighty factors in the result of the battle. After the moving pictures were shown selections from the individual pictures of the attack, the crowd came more once, as they gave him an opportunity to analyze the situation at leisure and to study on the face of Jeffries the man who followed each blow of the final pounding. "I never saw better pictures," Johnson said when it was all over. "We sold all those pictures, and certainly like living that fight over again." THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER AMONG THE FIGHTERS. Among the light heavyweights Sam Langford seems to have every nailed the must and calling for assistance. Witnessing it on the field, it is usually against men like Sandy Ferguson or Jim Barry, Jim Flynn never was built for a champion's clothing. The outcome of the lightweight fight at Ritz Carlton in New York, a day stamped Ad Wolgast, the Michigan Cyclone, as the real king of the 133-pounders, although this division holds a number of likely boys, all bent on forcing the opponent to fall. The son has grown old in the harness. He may come back and in a return fight overcome his younger opponent, but I have my own challenge. I am in Chicago lightweight, and Freddie Welsh of California both of whom are picking up a lot of money in the boxing clubs conducted on British soil, must be reckoned with. Then there are young boys down in the main theatrical halls have been the geared to travel six or ten rounds, and no more. Near-champions must show their staying powers if they want to be in the ring. Among the wetterweights there are just enough classy boys to keep the division from fading into obscurity. Jimmy Clabby of Milwaukee, Harry Lewis of Chicago, Jimmy Gardner of Lowell Mass, and Mike (Twin) Sullivan are best. GILLETT HAD TIP THAT BIG FIGHT WAS FRAME-UP Just when George Little had gone all the way down the line with his fake charges and the local fight fans had decided that his box of trunks was exhausted, the scattable box of trunks was sensational. This time it is that he was responsible for Governor Gillett prohibiting the Jeffries-Johnson fight in California. He just before starting for New York said: "My attorneys whom I secured in San Francisco to adjust my claims with Johnson were directly responsible for the shift from the box to the box to Reno," declared Little. "When they heard of a 'frame-up' to have the fight go fifteen rounds to help the pictures they showed, how matters stood. Then he acted accordingly. He lost no time in having the fight chased out of the State of California. Although I was no party to the frame-up, I was not a party to Reno, something was the matter with the match. I bet my money on Johnson, and when I found out from Rickard that the $5,000 side beetle in New York was off by the Jeffries-Johnson, I began sit up and look things over. In all I had a trifle more than $8,000 wagered on Johnson. Then the muchtalked-of side bet was dropped, leaving me with a little more money." "When my split with Jack came my attorneys got busy. They started an investigation of the result that the dishonesty of the bout resultued. Dishonesty is Rampant. "Ive had very little experience in the fighting game, but in the little time that I was mixed up in it I had my eyes on the fighters in it. I connected with the fights and promoters on the coast. Nearly all the matches were fixed out there. For instance, Owen McRam admitted to a false account that he confessed to using the McCarthy, that he agreed to let him stay fifteen rounds. Then the Papke-Thomas fight brought out another frame-up, to say nothing of Johnson's crooked bouts. He said it before and will say it again, that Johnson and Ketchel even went so far as to practice the knockout. Can you beat that for crookedness? Why, Johnson and Stanley went through the knockout, and I saw them times one in Willis Britt's room. They piled pillows on the floor and rehearsed it. In Johnson's fight with Kaufmann it was agreed to fake the ten rounds. Both Johnson and Stanley tried to put either it makes me laugh when I read that Johnson has demonstrated that a Negro can be honest. He's a fine example of Negro. Hed'd double-cross his best friend." IN A LEAGUE OF WHITE PLAYERS. Chance to Win Pennant at Salt Lake City, Utah. Special to The Freeman. I write to your paper to give you a list on our colored baseball team, the Occidentals, of the berth in the Utah State League, of which they were a member in 1908. This is the only colored baseball team to have a berth in the Utah State League, of which that I ever heard of before, and I am proud to let you know that they are making good. Mackford, the big St. Joe, Mo, pitcher, is more than making good. Lankford is in rare form and is good enough to make good in any company. The Occidentals are the staffing staff W. Mooney of Texas, Mr. Mooney is also doing good work for the team. I am sure that we will win the penalties trip East, and if Manager Frank Black can get arrangements made with his team you may see the Occidentals in the East. The team wintered in California and won the most of their games while down there. I guess I have given you all the dope for this writing and will close. I am, Yours truly. J. F.

Young, owner, is well pleased with his strong aggregation since he has secured the services of Chas. B.

Hill is in a class to myself in this section of the country. He plays. Captain Donald says his infield is stronger now than ever. These men have made a great reputation with the fans of Oklahoma City. How to keep your club in harmony and get ball playing out of your men; It don't matter what position a man can play or how many positions he can play, but he must have his way. The March were in Kelowna, Kas. The Fourth of July, when one stone killed three men, T. McAdoo, first baseman; J. Norman, third baseman, and D. Willett, both, were given their unconditional releases. They were making whatever. They broke the rules of the club by playing the morning of the Fourth with Jack Johnson's Royal Giants of Kansas City, Mo, and they intended to get back in Kansas City, Kas, so they play a double-header with their own team. The game was delayed by waiting on them. They want to get back to the Monarchs but, will never have success. CROWN AIRDOME GIVES BIG BOXING SHOWS Great Crowds See Good Bouts—E. C. Knox Is chosen Referee. While Jack Johnson was taking the measure of James J. Jeffries for the championship of the heavyweight division, he was not the best man in the business, this was because thousands of fight fans were held spellbound by the great feats exhibited by two of the best men in the business, this was a manner as could be expected anywhere when it comes to real scientific boxing by sure-for-certain stars of the limelight. James Johnson, or "Jimmy Nick," was his monolith in the ring, circled, was the real cause and promoter of the great card that was made in the vicinity, long since dead in the stadium, and Brothers, with the co-operation of a few other friends, equally assisted Jimmy in giving one of the cleverest boxing shows in the world, and some great while by sport followers, and the success of the thing was largely due to the long years of experience of the one Jimmy Nick, a leading fight promoter in Indians. The thing all happened at the Crown Air Dome Theater, 523 Indiana avenue, a man constructed a house, a man and managed by Mr. S. Geyen and especially built for the race. Just about 1 o'clock in the afternoon of the Fourth of July, the city opened a large stream of the city's best sports began to file past "Jimmy Nick," who stood near the box office, which was as good an advertisement as could be made, honest program of sport anywhere. Knox Appears on Scene. About 3 o'clock Mr. Elwood C. Knox, manager of The Freeman, appeared on the scene and when it was announced that the wonderful little whirlwind light- weight champion of Indiana, Ben Harper, would go up against the Hoosier heavy- weight demon, Shine Stanley, everyone had been watching, and through his good nature Knox accepted. Of course the large crowd that filled every space of the Air Dome was eager to hear the returns of the Johnson-Jefferson when Referee Knox, as an eye-opener, called Kid Moran (white) and Morris Harris to the center of the ring to do battle. The lad went at it in a very lively manner, and the crowd for five rounds. So fast did they exchange blows that only a white and black streak was visible while they were in action. Harris, who seemed to have a shade of white, shook his head while white fighter during the encounter. Moran will surely make a great pugilist if he continues to improve as he seems to do each time he enters the ring. He is a very good fighter, and durance has reached the high-water mark of perfection. But Harris's stinging right-hand jabs to the ribs proved a little more than the kid could take care of at times, and the crowd was very impressed. Knox shook his head as if awakening from a peaceful slumber. The returns had begun to arrive and Ben Harper came into the ring to give expression to his team. Jack son round by round and Shine Stanley did likewise, acting as James J. Jeffries. So clever are these two boxers that a better team would have been given anywhere. So well did they deliver every blow as it was that it seemed that they had it down by heart. The applause of over 500 persons was deafening and grew alarming at the end of the game, and it was announced that Johnson had won. As the crowd slowly wended its way to the outside one could hear, amid the cheers, here and there a voice exclaiming, "The heat shows Tye, ever seen here." AIRDOME BOXING NOTES. Jimmy, whoop her up and let us have it again. Everybody likes it. Ten nights in a bar-room, or one night in ten bar-rooms, is not one-half so bad as spending every night and day of your life sucking Polo Club and "white line." Did you ever see anybody smile like West did, and the boys waited for him to celebrate, but he went direct to the bank. What made Referee Knox look so pale when the announcement of the finish of the fight was made? The Indianapolis Star can ever have its sayings of praise for Jack Dillon, Ray Bronson and a ew other white fighters of Indiana that have done little if anything worthy of notice in the fight game, but it will happen. May give its attention to Kid Moran, an unknown lightweight, who is sure to lead 'em all. Ben Harper, like wine, grows better with age. Did you ever see a nut that was so hard to crack as this real "spit devil"? It always took old Jimmy Nick to wake up the old town. Where was Scipio Williams, anyway? Just wait until Monday, July 18, and go to the Air Dome and ask for Mr. Geyer. FIRST EIGHT MEN UP HIT HOME RUNS OVER FENCE PADUCAH, Ky.—The first eight men up for the Pensacola (Fla.) Giants against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers each knocked a home run over the right field fence in a game here recently. The Paducah pitcher then settled down and allowed one only to score the score re-entered for Pensacola. HARPER AFTER STANLEY. Would Try Him for Twenty-Round Bout. Rumor has it that Ben Harper, Indiana's clever lightweight, has become confident that he can be Shine Stanley, one of the best heavyweights of the Middle West, in a twenty-round bout before any club at any time. The two fighters met in a little sparing match that took place at the Crown Air Dome, $23 Indiana avenue, July 4. In that mix-up many of the leading sports stated that Ben showed much evidence of being the better man and expressed that the injury that Harper might defeat Stanley inside of fifteen rounds after careful training.
