A little dreaming by the way; A little toiling day by day; A little pain, a little strife, A little joy—and that is life. A little short-lived summer's morn, When joy seems all so newly born, When one day's sky is blue above, And one bird sings—and that is love. A little sickening of the years, The tribute of a few hot tears, Two folded hands, the failing breath, And peace at last—and that is death. Just dreaming, loving, dying so, The actors in the drama go— A fitting picture on a wall, Love, Death, the themes; but is that Love, Death, the themes; but is that all? —Paul Laurence Dunbar. * * * Anyhow, Bishop Walters has "come back." * * * If you haven't written a book, prepare to write it at once. * * * The grafter "gets his"—for a season—and then he is "gotten." * * * The National Negro Business League is an annual commercial inspiration to the race. * * * Jack Johnson would make an ideal Chicago alderman.

The bride wore white charmense silk with draperies of point lace. The reception which followed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wylie Lee Watson was elaborate and very much enjoyed. The bride and bridegroom received the guests in the drawing room, which was decorated in pink, palms and ferns before which the receiving party stood, surrounded by the charming bevy of young ladies who had acted as bridesmaids at the wedding ceremony. A handsome gold watch was presented by Mrs. Jackson, the mother of the union, in the name of the B. Y. P. U. The bride is very popular in social circles. The bridegroom is a well-known and successful business man. He has a beautiful home prepared for his bride. EXPOSITION TOO BIG FOR "VEST- POCKET." The Rodenber-Taylor resolution providing for the creation of a commission of seven to pass upon the feasibility of a semi-centennial exposition, showing the progress of the Negro since emancipation, failed to become a law. The white Congressmen did their duty, but the Negro people of the capital scarcely turned a hand in its behalf. When Negroes want anything, they must "leg" for it. It is said that another attempt will be made to pass the measure at the next session of Congress, but if a few fellows try to "vest pocket" it, as they did at the last session, the project will fail again.—The National Industrial Enterprise, Washington, D.

The only colored graduate of the Omaha High School this year rejoices in the unique cognomen of Kymphus Workcuff. He labored with might and main to win his diploma and finally landed in good shape.

Church, Dayton, Ohio, is to take charge of a church in Monrovia, Liberia, at the request of Bishop W. H. Heard, who is the superintendent of the work of his denomination in West Africa. The friends of Dr. Robinson would not be surprised to hear one of these fine days that he had been elected President of the Liberian Republic. Dr. Robinson comes from an old Georgia family of hustlers and bears the magic "open sesame" from Bishop Henry McNeil Turner, who has done more than any other one American to induce the Negroes of this country to return to their "Fatherland."

Dr. William Tindall, of Norfolk, Va., and J. Frank Wheaton of New York made appropriate responses, thanking the gentlemen for the freedom of the city, which had been so generously extorted.

Several thousand uniformed men were in line; fifteen bands disguised musical music; officers rode in autos, and the crowd marched in riages, traps and turnouts of every variety came a vast concourse of well-known citizens. The ladies, handsomely gowned, added to the grandeur of the event, and granted the unusual courtesy of being allowed to march through the Capitol grounds, and a few moments later the Grand Lodge was photographed on the steps of the stately nation's Capitol—the seat of the proudest Last night a grand reception and ball was held at Convention Hall, and that immense structure was crowded from K to L streets where the brilliance and presented the appearance of a scene drawn by magic from Fairyland.

The company is also the one to see the cause of the wonderful cut in prices, thereby hangs the tail. The Western Casket and Undertaking Company is gradually forcing into obscurity the phrase "Our Family Undertaker," as the company has been given more value to him than any maudlin sentiment.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. News of the Sporting World IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO. "CHICAGO, Ill., July 26.—The most interesting game that has been seen here this summer was played last Sunday at Normal and the Stars of Cuba. In the Leland Giants and the Stars of Cuba, the Leland Giants and the baseball in the city of Chicago "Home Run" Johnson won the game in the eighth inning, and S. H. Dudley, the great comedian, and did much to enliven things during the game. There was present the largest crowd that has been at the park this season, and everyone came away shouting, "Hurrah for the Leland Giants." Johnson was playing baseball, science of the game, hitting, in and out fielding, classy baseball was all brought into play at this game. The Stars of Cuba started off like demons and succeeded in bringing in four scores. The game in the eighth inning and not a score was scheduled. In the sixth the Leland Giants were able to bring in three scores. "Home Run" Johnson, after saving the game in the eighth inning by a one-handed stab, came back in the ninth and walloped the ball over left fence, scoring Duncan and Hill, and winning a hard-fought battle from the Stars of Cuba by a one-handed stab. Wickever struck out four men, and Parera four. Johnson made two two-base hits, and Hill one. R. H. PO. A. E.

Jockson, secretary of the Chicago Giants, is at Fortfort, Ky., this week attending the State encampment of the Knights of Pythias. Harry Buckner, Monroe and Bowman are starring down East with the Royal Giants. Billy Earl of the Brooklyn Royals is one of the fastest men on baseball teams. Rube Foster seems to be very much elated over his team. He has a Jack Johnson smile that won't wear off. Both Rube and Johnson are from the grand old State of Texas. Wickwear of the Leland Giants is the most sensational pitcher seen in these parts for some time. "Wick," like Johnson, says that he has never extended himself. Chapple Johnson of the Chicago Giants is playing some great ball. Chapple is there with the goods. It's hard to tell who is the Beau Brummel of baseball players, Chapple Johnson or Walter Ball. In fact all the boys play well and dress well. Artie Ball and Rube Foster are setting the pace when it comes to dress, but when the Chesterfieldian Lloyd strolls the stroll, they all ant the tailors. The veteran Jimmy Smith, formerly with the Lelands and St. Pauls, was capering around down the country on last Sunday. * * * Tis said that Jimmy Smith will lead the team that Rube has organized to play Sunday dates. Look out, Chicago Giants! * * * Dave Wyatt, manager of the Illinois Giants, has a great team together. Wyatt is one of the most widely known baseball men in the country and is up on all points of the game. In 1930, Nate Harris, Jr., will be playing around the middle sack in the big league association. Also Pete Hill, Jr., will be playing around the home run the same as his daddy. The youngsters claim that they hope to follow in the footsteps of their fathers. Padrone, the Cuban pitcher, who has been playing with the Kankakes is now with the Stars of Cuba. Chacon, the Star of Cuba shortstop, is playing the game of his life these days. When it comes to fielding and retiring runners, Bucky Barton of the St. Paul Gophers ranks with big leaguers. They all fear him. Hidalea, the big Cuban center fielder of the Stars of Cuba, can sure hit the horse hide. Petway, the champion colored catcher, plays with broken bones and other injuries just the same as if nothing had happened. He is a ball player of the first water. Wallace of the Chicago Giants is a great worker when the game is going on. He is a favorite of the fans. Hutcherson of the Lelands makes more one-hand plays than any player in the business. When Foster carries the team East he will have one of the best organized teams in America among colored players. Albert Toney of the Kansas City Royal Giants continues to play great ball. Readers are watching him with interest. 'Tis whispered around that owner Mosely and manager Foster are thinking seriously of organizing a colored league. He is a big fan of the game, but with these two successful men at the head it may be and ought to go. Baseball fans and players were very sorry to hear of the death of Sr Hayman, the big pitcher for the Philadelphia BY CARY B. LEWIS. Special to THE FREEMAN. BASEBALL NEWS. ```markdown ``` --- Glants. He was run over while on his way to play a game. Hayman was one of those big, jolly fellows and always kept the bleachers in an uproar when pitching a game of ball. The Leland Giants are the first colored team in Chicago to own their own grounds. Roy Robinson, a former Chicago boy, is now on the Nokomis, Ill., baseball team. Geo. Wilson, the pitcher, is one of the most well-to-do colored baseball players in the business. Haynes, the former Union Giant player, is going to put in a team for a syndicate in Louisville, Ky., his home town. It is to be a salaried club. There can not be any improvement on Dad Johnson of the Leland Giants. Danger Talbert, one of the best third basemen in the game, the star batter of the Chicago Giants, has been released. Comiskey says, "I want hitters; too bad, old man, your color stops you." Does hitting win games? Ask the Leland Giants and look over the daily scores. During his prime as a ball player, Dave Wyatt was one of the best batsmen that faced a pitcher. Among the scores of critics in the West are Nate Harris, M. Haynes, Jimmy Smith and Dave Wyatt. They know baseball and can discuss it from all its angles. Clark, the West Baden short stoy, is a very clever player even though he does wear glasses. Baseball fans are discussing the motive of the release of Talbert. Ray Wilson, the manager of the Philadelphia Giants, who in his heyday was the best first sacker in the game, has become somewhat demented, we learn, since the tragic death of Hayman. Report comes that the Chicago Giants are having a great time at St. Paul. At the three games they will return home and play a game Sunday at their park. Booker, the star catcher for the Le兰d Giants, has developed into a first baseman. --- Next season owner Mosely will rearrange his boxes and bleachers so that his park will compare with other professional baseball parks. Mr. Mosely belongs to the progress class of owners. Lloyd expects to become a first baseman when his shortstop days are over. The way he can clutch the leather now will make many years yet. Geo. Wright is playing star second base now, having been moved over for Siden a youngster, who seems to be making good. During the series between the Stars of Cuba and the Leland Giants, Foster says he is going to win the whole of the series but the giants are expected, the Stars of Cuba can go some in this weather. Rube must have cleaned up on Jack Johnson. He was seen with a roll that would make any millionaire take notice. LIVELY BALL TOSSER. Bronchos Bloomer Girls Attracted Attention.

Chicago, Ill. that Allen's Troubadours present at the Sky Dome are very good and strong, and are appreciated by the audiences at each performance, matinee and night, making it one of the best shows in the city. The audiences never tire of the performances. The show is just as fresh to them the last night of the week as it was the first night. The entire company is well, and the audience is very good. Allen, Madam Lazell Allen, Mary Jackson, Jim Dixon, Lue Pearkins, Belk Gibson, Susie Williams, Zellar Gibson, Willie Owens, Ed. Davis and the Troubadours mascot. All you can hear is the talk of the town. All you can hear is the Allen's Troubadours at the Sky Dome. The company sends regards to all friends in and out of the profession. Mr. Allen says, "We are the Troubadours the road. Managers of all colored theatres to me, as I am getting ready for my fall and winter tour of the theaters. I have the company with the goods, and also have costumes. G. W. Allen, 114 Fourth avenue, Copeland Hall, Nashville, Tenn. GOOD BILLS ALONG THE STROLL Miss Marie Burton Makes Her Debut. Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, Ill.—The Monogram, one of the neatest and coolest theaters in the city of Chicago, has in twelve new electric fans, and its patrons have been complimenting the manager for his wisdom these warm nights. Although Sunday was the hottest day in nine years, we still stop large crowds every night, present at the theater. On Monday night there was the usual new offering, with Mr. and Mrs. Joe Britton as headliners. "How's that?" They just arraigned and as soon as the patrons of the "Stroll" heard that these two artists were on the bill the house was packed four performances. At one of the performances the writer was an eye-witness. There is nothing new to be said about Sade and Joe Britton, and they are keen to see that they had a number of new steps, which they pulled off that they did not do the last time we saw them. In this and other countries they have been heralded as the most successful rock dancers, and they more than sustained their reputation on last Monday night. Their presence at this theater was due to the urgent requests made by patrons of the theater, and so that they will be held over for the next week. It is the general opinion of those that frequent theaters that Mrs. Britton is one of the handsomest and best dressed theatrical profession. The other favorites were the Griffin Sisters. These two actresses have been on the "Stroll" for many moons, yet they never stanced a song or costumes make them greatly sought after by those that like their work. "Chief of Binga Boo" is the song that "takes the house down," and Joelle Hoola" is another song that goes big. Kitty Sherman, one of the fattest and shortest we have seen in vaudeville, enters from County Mayo, "Mollie Lee" and "Yip-Iady-Ady-I." Naturally her size caused much merriment and when she danced—and she dances well—there were ripples of applause Roy Bland, a character artist, as he is billed, sang "Where the Nebranna Flows." He was garbed in Indian costume and acted as a cowboy, and he sang "My Cowboy Lady." His last number was "Since Arrah Wanna Married Barnary Carney." For next week the manager has secured Biltong in Ringgold. The Brittons and the Horace George musical act. The Pekin Theatre. For variety Motts' Pekin Theater had a most excellent bill on Monday night. It has been and is now the intention of Motts to present the theatrical market. Large crowds were present on Monday and Tuesday nights at both shows, and all came away much pleased with the performances. Motts was what out of the ordinary that has not been at the Pekin for some time was that of the "Messenger," in which was featured Miss Lottie, Grady and Mr. Tom Brown. Both are well known here and the performance voiceless among the stage is unquestioned. The sketch was a bit of acting admirably suited for both characters. It consumed about fifteen minutes and the performance voiceless among the most pleasing numbers of the evening. Miss Grady has long ago won a reputation as a clever actress, while Mr. Brown belongs to the same group. Motts entertained a wide knowledge of how to please and entertain, and does this with skill, art and ability. They succeeded in pleasing the "first nighters," and they will do more than Miss Marie Burton made her debut as a vauduillian singer on Monday night. Her heartfelt performance this cultured and refined young woman, beautifully dressed and with magnificent stage presence, open her heart by singing a beautifully choreographed act brought from the audience much applause and after singing the first number society favorite, she sang her own dreds, gave her a most rousing reception. The second number was "The Garden of Roses." She wore a most charming white hat with beautiful plumes and a crown. The closing number was "O. You are the Idol of My Dreams." Miss Burton's voice never seemed better. Her voice was rich, full and sweet. She sang with feeling and a great deal of realism. She realized that she was a trained and talented singer. Miss Burton is a product of the Chicago Conservatory of Music, having made a high average at this institution when she was 16. She was a son that she went to New York and made a hit in one of the big musical concerts at that city. Her appearance at Mottie Pekin Theater in Chicago was taken that hereafter Miss Burton will be heard playing on big time. One of the features at the Pekin is the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Oliver Perry. One of the hits of the week is their playing of "Some of These Days." plymys Tom Brown's Perlott Minstrels will be the bill for Aug 1 at the Pekin. the bill for Aug. 1 at the Pekin. In the waiting room, placing the entreaties in front of the chair, where cool drinks of all kinds can be served those waiting for the next show, and also served the patrons of the theater as well as the passing public. Mr. Motts has a regular ice water boy to serve ice water boy to show. Every encouragement possible is assured the Emmys to make them comfortable. At the Grand this week Clayborne Jones, Walker and any one of Crosby and the Trio are on the boards. Their acts are said to be fairly good. Matt Marshall and Harrison Stewart, the two colored comedians that have made good laughs and are in both Chicago for several days. They left on Tuesday for California. While they were with Foster, and they talked over the many good times on State street in the palmy days Stewart and Harrison were in the best of spirits and looking fine. Every one was glad to meet them and sorry that they had such a short time to stay at their old home. Once more they will be gone until some THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER John Smeadleay of Columbus, O., is rehearsing with the Down in Dixie Minstrels. Evelyn Jovner, the popular entertainer at the Little Savoy, is scoring heavily each evening singing the popular melodies of the day. He is perhaps one of the best known entertainers of his type in all Chicago. Jeff Graham, the proprietor, was fortunate in securing his engagement. Chicago's newest wrinkle in amusement is the Hippodrome Garden, 4518-20 State street. This garden is under the management of the Bassett Foundation, which ensures the public its moral character and Allen's Troubadours have broken all recits intrinsic worth. Some of the best vaudeville acts in the business are appearing there nightly to large and refined audiences. Two performances are given nightly. Barton and Briswell's Minstrels are expected to be the greatest thing that has ever been staged by colored people. The band was out on last Sunday and played for Postman Foster in the theater and everyone was much pleased with the music. Pewee Williams, the Wizard Tramp Jugger, closed a successful week at the Pekin and New York theaters with his wife, with McCabe's Georgia Troubadours, using a feature act. THE DOWN IN DIXIE MINSTRELS NOW IN CHICAGO. Opens at the Weber Theatre. To those that like to be entertained in a manner fitting any environment Barton & Wiswell's Down in Dixie Minstrels is cheerfully recommended. This troupe of stewartes and the United States, are now in rehearsal at the Alhambra Theater. The show is in an advanced state of preparation and every indication now points to one of the greatest and most costly minstrel aggregations commercial public has ever known. The management is featuring John Rucker, the original Alabama Blossom, without doubt one of the funniest black-face comedians of today. Rucker is a star of the show, and the original and originality all his own. This year his funnaking propensities have full sway. The company is composed of forty people well versed in the way of vocal gifts and the ability to dance. He has the famous Gold Seal Band, noted for its masterful ability to dispense sweet and harmonious music. As extra features there will be vaudeville acts by the great Marsh Craig, Clark and Taylor, John Pamplin and Campbell, and the organization will give a street parade, to be superior to anything similar in the history of modern minstrels. The show opens Sat. There is not a parallel in past or present Negro minstrelsy wherein the entire music of the show was especially written. Not only is the music original, but every feature of the show is centrally mounted first part is a dream of art, every number is of a jingling, whistling character. The Freeman will run for twenty-six consecutive weeks large display advertisements of this organization, giving date and place of future production. Our readers also will be given notices of all the facts and circumstances incident to the tour of this company. ANNEX BAND WITH SELLS FLOTO CIRCUS. At Witchhill, Kas, the company was highly entertained by Mrs. Duke and friends. At Topeka Pri Jackson's band gave a ball game. At Park, Kas, the company was good and crowds turned away. Prof. Hutt has added E. Maddy, tuba. Frank Perryman, trombonist; Bert Smith, trap drummer. "Slim" Mason, stage manager, is much pleased with his minstrel NORFOLK SHOW TALK. By Geo. H. Bell. This week in Norfolk has been a memorial week to the theater-goering public, if sentiment and enthusiasm count for much. The company opened a the Globe Theater Monday night with about 15 or 18 people on the stage and a six-piece orchestra, which they sell why he added such big expense on his pay-roll he just simply remarked: "When I put on a number I want to see it go, if for nothing more than my own satisfaction." I requested that the company order the great George Walker. I happened to drop into the city, not expecting to spend a few days of my vacation in New York, but eager for the company. I am forced to say frankly that Bob Russell, Billy Owens and Marlon Brooks have the best theatrical entertainment for the best colored theaters in New York and New York, where the colored show-houses hustle awfully hard to get a hit in their houses, especially and this is why the hour-long-hour-and-a-timelight entertainment I ever witnessed in a small showhouse of 600 seats. Their policy is to work no house that gives out tickets but blame them, for their shows are on the order of the big musical comedies that run three acts. Their plays are condensed and besides, they offer Those I met and know are Bob Russell, Billy Owens, Marlon Brothers, Speedy Smith, Michael Crawford, John Crawford, Crampton, Larry Brown, Pauline Crampton, Theresa Burroughs, Vola Stewart, Emma Alcott, Jennifer Jenkins, E. B. Dudley, Alice Alcott, E. B. Dudley, Mrs. E. B. Dudley, H. P. Paschel, Dope Andrews, Samuel Foster, Landon Howard, a member for kind treatment shown during my stay in Norfolk. BILLY KERSANDS MINSTRELS. In spite of the rain and knocks we have managed to hold our heads above the tide, and with 14e assistance of our manager, B. J. C. Reeves, we managed it right back to Ark. bago and brought back the big new top size tent. 80x30, which assures us that we are the biggest of them all. When we spread rain if it rains, we are in a full-rigged ship. The big band lined up in front, making one think it was a circus. The doors opened. 7:30 o'clock, and by 8:15 p.m., we were only Prof. J. C. Turner joined us at Poplar Bluff, Mo., and proved himself beneficial to both band and orchestra, is receiving rolls of music daily, and is using every effort to keep up to the standard. Bud Smith joined us at Cairo, Ohio. Our James Crosby, is well pleased with Mr. Smith. As a comedian Smith is making dood. Mr. Jesse Reeves, our principal trombone player, is home where he visited his mother and friends. Mr. Joe Miller, the little man with the big horn, is still getting his. The many hands are making their usual hits, tightly. Our stage manager, Mr. James Cosby, has a hard time daily tryng to convince the people that he is not Jack Johnson and when he is, he is not Jack Crowd's beginling. "Oh, you Jack Johnson"; but Crosby just laughs, and says, "I wish I was Jack Johnson." The boys say: "You are a junior just another back you against any for a heavyweight comedian, and as a singer and dancer we will offer ten thousand dollars for your best. Wish to all. NOTES FROM THE EPH HILLIAMS TROUBADEURS. Nothing succeeds like success, and this company is getting the well-earned success that it deserves. The company was in Ohio in new territory and established an enviable reputation. Professor Williams, our genial proprietor, and managuer, constantly improving the show, is a true leader. is always looking out for the comfort and welfare of the members. He may parade of which our military band is the most important, is the treasured of much comment and applause. The name "Sillas Green from New Orleans" is a byword to this section of the country, and the occasion of opinion is that our show is the best ever. The entire company sends regards to our many friends. Goff Kennedy has just purchased a Moffitz phone, making five new instruments purchased during the past month. Look out for our fall tour, our proprietor is coming to get new uniforms and other paraphernalia. Another car will be added in the near future. Ross H. Jackson, our hustling advance agent, sends regards to his many friends. THE RUBY THEATRE. GALVESTON, Tex.—The Ruby Theatre is still making excellent progress. The performers are playing to record-breaking audiences every night, and they are hard to come by. Davis, the star comedian, has everyone screaming, by singing his favorite songs. Miss G. Rogers is whooping up things with her song, "Stop that Rag." Fred Drew, the eccentric juggler and slack-willie comedian, Lily Melda Luson is making a storm hit with her favorite song, "I Love My Study, but I'm Crazy for May Once in a While." Kid Rags is making good with his electric guitar, dancing. Martha Althia Cummings, the cashier, is still drawing large crowds with her smiles. Frank Chester, the speaker, is still here. Alma Duge and Butler May write. Willie Wheat, pianist. Mary Douglas Douglass would like to hear from John Dennis. Write in care of Ruby Theatre. PLAYING TO PACKED HOUSES. Special to THE FREEMAN. MACON, Ga.-We are playing to packed houses every night, and every one is well played. We are M. Charles Collier, a smile all the time. Our coon shouter, Miss Evaline White, who is the best in the business, brings the house down when she sings "Those Shaky Eyes." Mary Nobles, our leading soprano singer, gets the house when she sings "If I Had a Thousand Lives to Live." Jones and Jones clean up with their dancing act. Miss Lillie Walker is the only buck and wing dancer of the South. Miss Minnie Carroll, is given up to be the best in the country. Happy Howell, Budie Nelson (Rastus), Edgar Johnson, Fred Nelson (Jimmie Dick) and Johnson, Fred Nelson. Mr. Newsom is our straight man. Little Rastus takes four and five encores singing, "The Way Things Are Going on I can't Going to Be Here Long." He says he has the goods to give his people. Mr. Jones, the man with the funny face, pleases everyone. He is better known as the drummer. We must not fall to mention our orchestra which is small but render good music. Mr. Greathouse, our villonist; Eddie Dodd, our drum player; Larry Lee, at the piano, and the favorites when they strike up sweet dreams of music. We send regards to all friends in and around us. PEKIN THEATRE, CINCINNATI, O. The Pekin, in this city, is still flourishing. We cannot seat the people that have to wait for more performance to another. Brooks and Brown, Cincinnati favor, and are drawing cards. Can you blame the people? Kelley and Davis made a decided hit last week in the Pekinites. They played the Gather The Thunder, and took Miss Daisy Collins, our very popular singer and actress, who was the talk of the town in the "Bogus King" series. The Pekin three weeks ago, is quite ill, owing to a serious throat trouble. She expects to undergo an operation soon. We hope for her success and we hope she will see her before the footlights again soon. We are sorry we have not the space in which to write more, far we have much to ROUTE PROF. R.

Although the happy faces of Taylor and Clark are missing in the performance of E. D. Lee's Minstrels at Fourteenth Street, great crowds are laughing themselves fat because Mr. ann Mrs. John Goodloe and a clever actress bunch, who are under the guard of the public, have a ful eye. The show is good all around. Even Lew Simon says it is, and he is hard to make laugh. But the best evidence is that one comes over also to see what one body is saying is good and to see it is really worth talking about. Ed Lee, the manager, does not anything else go with it, and maintains his valuable reputation. That's all. MRS. JORDON ENTERTAINED BY LEE'S MINSTRELS HERE. Tuesday night was "Jordan night" with Lee's Minstrels, at Fourteenth and West streets, and it was a gala one for a well-known songwriter. But the happiest person under the canvas theater was Mrs. Jordan, mother of the well-known song writer and musician of the late 1960s, the third of many successful compositions. By special request Mrs. John Goodloe sang Mrs. Jordan's latest song success, "That Tantalizing Song," which she wrote while Mrs. Jordan's face gave us a picture of glory and pride. Mrs. Goodloe sang it even better than any one present had barred her from singing. But she got enough of it, most decidedly so, for Mrs. Jordan and her party, for they enclosed her time and again. However, "Jordan was one of the best nights of all, up to date. THE GRAND CENTRAL THEATER AT DALLAS, TEX. George Coleman writes: We are still holding our own, playing to S. R.

R. Dixon, our stage manager, is very much pleased with his company. Jack Harris, general manager, is sure "Charlie on the spot" with the ghost, and would like to hear from good performers at all times. Friends and friends in and out of the profession. Dixon says, hello, Austin, he'll be good. BELMONT THEATER, PENSACOLA, FLORIDA. The shows at the Belmont Theater, given by the Kenner & Lewis Amusement Company, are far above the average with their capable company of artists. They are racking the house for comedy, which captures the audience. It can be truthfully said that every act is put on with a vim that pleases the most fastidious. The singing numbers are simply the best in the world. Bertha Smiley catches the audience every time she makes her appearance. She responds to several encores nightly, singing "I Am Mad with You." The singing of these numbers is simply the best in the world. Coleman holds the audience spellbound. The dancing of Chas. Mack was something out of the ordinary. The ever laughable act "Zeke" from Horseshoe Bay, a creature from the sea and Lewis, which is a production of our erstwhile friend, G. W. Allen. Kenner, as Zeke was there, as he always is in a line of comedy. Lewis played the "Good-time" from the movie "Beezle." Kenner part to perfection. On the 14th the company was tendered a maccaron supper by one of Pensacola's best chefs, Mr. Alexander Tasker, with plenty of delicacies the season, with plenty of French claret to quench their thirst. The party lasted until 2:30 a. m. Those present were Misses Alberta Smiley, Carrie Hall, Mildred McKenzie, and Lewis Leonard Miller.

BARON WILKINS PROVED TO BE TOO WISE White Man Who Failed to Pay Bet tors Gets Boomerang. Special to THE EFFEEMAN SUNDAY, NEW YORK, July 22.—If you deposit money with a stakeholder and win, and he chooses not to give you the winnings, you have no redress under the laws of the state. The legislature's decision in discharging R. R. Saltz, former manager of the Hotel Albany, whom a group of Negro sporting men, including Jihlin Jack Johnson's son and one of Johnson's co-workers, the country, had arrested in Buffalo, charged with grand larceny. The Nebraska attorney and place it with Saltz to be wagered on Johnson at 7 to 10. When the fight was over they claimed they had trouble getting the money and Saltz was arrested. The Nebraska attorney and place it with Saltz to be wagered as betting was illegal, the winners had no legal title to the money, and that no crime had been committed. The court shared the charge, however, he was immediately rearrested for violations of the section of the penal code which provides that acting as stakeholder is made against the men who had put up the wagers. A WELL KNOWN A. B. SIDNEY D. DAGO Russell D. Dago, of the firm Russell and Dago, Saloon Proprietors, Chicago, Illinois is perhaps one of the best known all round business and sporting men in the city. Their place in business is well known, and business principles. Mr. Dago has a congenial disposition and is well liked by all who know him. He was formerly of Indianapolis, and as a businessman he was interested in him. Since coming to Chicago, he has made good with a vim and bids fair to outstrip any of the old timers who are ahead of him. He is a admirer of all athletics and sporting events and he is considered by his friends as an anthority on base ball and prize fights.

BOSTON, Mass., July 20—Sam Langford, best in the business, to my opinion, arrived here last night along with the famous Bob Armstrong and George Byers from California. Their coming together made it all easier. Bob Armstrong have a frame-up for Champion Jack Johnson, whom I understand is to be here next week. Every one is awake and ready to play one of the best trainers in the country and his tacking on to Sam Langford, the Boston Tar Baby, places the idea in my mind. I am ready to play or condition him for future ordeals that might terminate in a great battle with Jack Johnson. Of course there may not be a great battle, but there is nothing impossible these days, and we know not what will happen next. PENSACOLA GIANTS. Special to THE FREEMAN. LOUISVILLE, KY.—We have been on the road four weeks and have played 21 games in the first two games played at Memphis July 3 and 4; on the Fourth we played a double-header, winning the first two games played and losing the last game of the edouble-header, Ky. and the first eight men up hit the ball over the fence.

It was most unfortunate, owing to the outlay of money and the loss of time. There should be some way in the future to assure visiting clubs or else the game would be out. We had bad weather all the way, but the owners of clubs stuck to their contracts. The boys send regards to Bud Davis of the Yale Park, Frank Duncan of the Leland Park, Goldstucker of Pensacola.

Park and his cousin Richmond, Dahoney Park and Richmond, and other surrounding towns. Everybody seemed to have enjoyed themselves and spent time in skating, playing basketball in the grand reception shooting gallery and riding on the merry-go-round. At 3:30 the umpire called the game at the Marcos grounds. Then follow the game at the Marcos grounds and Mar THE FREEMAN.

The score should have been 1 to 0, but because of the infield, the score ended 4 to 0. The Marcos defeated the Dayton White Sox the white champions of Dayton, in a game that ended with twelve players and made three homers. Anderson, the star third baseman, allowed nine each third. The Marcos scored the Piqua, 5 to 2, on account of a bad umpire. EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA. Special Fees C. Rouse was down from Entwistle last week... L. L.

C., July 15—The National Religious Training School and Chautaquau, which is a distance departure from the normal school, offers half of the Negro, appears to be more of a success than its promoters hoped for. The close of the second week found the enrollment of 1,000 students, made up of teachers, ministers and people from various walks of life among the Negroes. Instruction is being given in normal and preparatory history, geography, grammar, pedagogy, domestic science, dressmaking and millinery, basketry and vocal music. Rev. Jesse J. Jones, pastor of Jesse completed his series of lectures on Bible instruction, and now being followed by Dr. W. X. Chapman, pastor of the celebrated Rosville Presbyterian Church, Glen Hemingway, the well-known child story-teller, has entertained Chautaquau during the past week on the art of story telling, illustrating its value to children. For the next week such attractions as Samuel J. M. McCracken, one of his best lecturers, is lecturing on best dressed; Hon. B. Broughton, the Sunday school worker; Bishop G. W. Clinton and Prof. W. E. B. DuBois are also to appear. Professor D. W. B. DuBois, Normal and Industrial Institute, has resigned that position to become vice president of the Normal and Industrial Institute, and Chauquita, Du Shearp is being congratulated on all sides for the wonderful showing being made in the character of the Normal and other fea- tures furnished, and in the neat and commodious building erected. THE TWELFTH ANNUAL SESSION OF THE NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, AT WASHINGTON, D. C., AUGUST 23, 24, 25 AND 26. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 15—The elaborate committee on arrangements indicate that the twelfth session of the National Medical Association is to be held in the beautiful and progressive organization. Such cities as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, Baltimore and others have entertained the association, but the people of Washington, recognition, feel that it is incumbent upon them to establish a new record in the matter of extending open-handed and lavish hospitalization. For many years the extensive experience of ideas as to the form the various entertainments should take, and now that the announcements are beginning to come from official sources, it is evident that th' hard work done in chambers is bearing fruit of a most useless The Place of Meeting. The buildings and campus of Howard University, admirably located on a hill commanding a magnificent view of Wash- ington as the location of the university as a place of meeting, through the courtesy of Dr. W. P. Thirkield, president of the university, and Dr. W. C. McNell, secretary of the Medical College. Nine students from the University of Wash- ington, H. Brooks, has kindly tendered the use of its spacious auditorium for the public meeting on Tuesday evening, Aug. 23, at which time the address of the involved officials and citizens of the District, with responses by the visitors. Papers on topics of vital interest will be presented and handled by the general work of the association will be carried on at the meetings on Howard Hill. Trials will be held each day from $ 8 to 10 o'clock a. m. Freedmen's Hospital, the finest and best equipped in the city, and excelled by few in America, in the work of the association in-chief, has been placed at the disposal of the convention for these clinics, and sample facilities will be provided to make them thorough and instructive. A notation of the clinical clinic, which will attract much attention, the dental clinic will be held at the infirmary Hospital, across the way from the main building, at a time to be announced. Group Organizations to Meet. Group Organizations to Meet The heads of the subordinate or group "organization" in the National Medical Association, are; Dr. A. M. Curtis, chairman of the Surgical Section; Dr. C. W. Childs, chairman of the Medical Section; Dr. L. H. Singleton, chairman of the Perinatal Section. and the Washington University. Herbert W. Ross of Boston is chairman of the Dental Section. The separate sessions of these groups are of extraordinary interest and can be visited by laity and professional with equal profit. The exhibits this year are the surgical sections and care is being taken to see that they are attractively displayed. Some of the Social Features. Some of the Social Features. The social features will be especially elusive on Tuesday night, Aug. 23, immediately following the public session of the N. M. A., the visiting doctors will be entertained at a stag at True Reformers' Hall, given by faculty from the Dr. A. M. Curtis, a prominent member of the N. M. A., is president. The Mu-So-Lit Club includes in its membership 75 men, all prominent in professional and business. In the afternoon the day a lawmaker—air-curry cert will be given in honor of the ladies of the N. M. A. by the wives and daughters of the local profession. At the head of the committee, the Mitchell wife of Dr. W. Mitchell, Howard University Medical College, Associated with Dr. Abbie Mitchell are a dozen of the best known social leaders of Washington, whose homes will be thrown into the public eye for situations of a more or less private character. The principal social function of the week will be the grand reception and dance banquet of the visitors' convention Hall which is said to have a dancing capacity of 4,000. Hamilton's celebrated orchestra of 30 pieces will furnish the music. The arrangements for this magnificent afternoon event are headed by Dr. A. M. Curtis, who gives assurance that it will rival, if not surpass, in brilliance and social importance the inaugural ball in connection with the inaugural ceremonies a year and a half ago. On Friday an all-day outing at Washington Park on the Potomac river, has been planned. His affair is in charge of the event. Wormite, C. Sumner Wormite, a well-known dentist, and a popular baritone vocalist. In each of these functions a citizens' committee of 100, with Judge Robert L. Hill, will be involved in vice-chairman and Shelby J. Davidson as financial secretary, is co-operating with a degree of activity and unanimity and public spirit that spells success. It will be here from all parts of the country. It will be here from all parts of the country, including many who will come down from the New York meeting of the National Negro Business League, and the number to be entertained will not fall short of Officers and the Elections. Mindful of the exciting scenes attending some of the contests for the presidency of the N. M. A., the conservative element is making an effort this year to implement feature of the deliberations than has heretofore been the case. Particular stress is to be placed on the presentation of the electoral offenses of the gery, etc, and not so much on who is to hold this or that office. Nevertheless, the contest for the presidency bids fair to be spirted. Among those whose names will be used for the presidency are Dr. Curtis, Dr. W. N. Lotton, Dr. G. W. Cabanis and Dr. C. W. Childs, all of Washington; Dr. H. F. Gamble of Charleston, Va.; Dr. George H. Hale of Charleston; Dr. F. Boyer of Nashville, and perhaps one or two others. As it is customary for the presidency for the ensuing year to be taken from the city which entertains the convention, it is likelier that the president be a single candidate before the sitting of the body. The tenure is restricted to one year. The present official roster of the National Medical Association stands as follows: President, Marcus F. Wheatland, M. D., Newport, R. I.; W. S. Loffon, D. D. S. Washington, D. C. vice-president; secretary, John A. Kenney, M. S. Mackeee M. S. Mackeee, G. Elliott, M. Portsmouth, Va. assistant secretary; A. W. Williams, M. D.

Jeff he was a good man As ever struck a brace. But when he walked up to Jack, Jack struck him in the face. Harrah for the champion of the world! For he is of our race; Harrah for Jack Johnson!

I hope he long may live And bear his distinction with grace. Judicious maintaining your honor, For you are one of the race. JACK JOHNSON HAS WON THE DOUBLE CROWN The Most Costly Victory, in Every Way, in Modern History. (BY JULIEN) Jack Johnson has wone the double crown. He has defeated the champion, Tommy Burns, and finished his task by climbing up the rounds of pugilistic fame and wiping out James J. Jeff It is the most costly victory ever, second only to Cleveland's election over Blaine. Johnsons defeated Jeffries, has undergone the true color of the average American white man. It has undone all of the good work of ex-President Roosevelt in Europe. It has undergone that nineteenth of the better class of citizens will do it to get their man in the daily press. This fight has drawn action from Johnson and won proves behind the slightest doubt that the brain and blood of this fair country which is advertised the world over is under attack from Johnson'sisters laid down the Bibles, lawmakers set aside their deties to middle with the much-called low, degraded pastime of photo-fighting. All the people who are publicists in the public has selected from among the thousands of men to help lead the nation to peace and prosperity, turned and advocated race riots on the whole. In offering their opinions regarding the moving pictures after the fight was over not one of them was heard. Both men would say either before or after. Had the lower class, whom the higher class of both races take advantage of, the overwhelming opinion of the best of the men, the North to the South Pole. Their reason for objecting to the pictures being shown is that it would ruin the morals of the young American-American, defended James J. Berries, white-born American, the child must not see this horror; yet they have seen. The Clansman's children read for years what Vardaman had to say and kow the art of burning Negroes at the stake by heart. All this they claim as pastime, a Nero can do. If he is given a fair chance would ruin their little pure hearts. When looking over this grave situation, the Clansman's children might over the black man. They would have supplied the children with books of "The Clansman" and the "Leopard Spots" free to read nightly before going to bed. They would give them courage. This fierce roar about the fight pictures comes from the free advertisers of the North and has robbed the solid South of its advertising potential, feeling in the future. Here are a few of the big city kicks of the superintendent of public safety of Washington, D.C., the city's law that any representative from the South can shoot a defenseless Negro while lying helpless on the ground and should be punished. Yet it is a state's prison offense to show a picture where a Negro defeated a white fair and square. In the list, the mayor of San Francisco, who at one time was going to defy the Governor of the State and have the fight pulled off in the heart of the city, now says that the pictures would not be allowed. The Governor of Connecticut laid aside his official duty long enough (about six months) to read up on the fight to the state, and says that the pictures will not be allowed to be shown in the State. The city worth taking the time to mention is the only individuals who have helped off of thrs free train of advertisement, including one of Chicago's offices, which is knocking the pictures by them all from day to day—anything to do with the So if prize-fighting is a disgrace, the papers that live only by the disgraceful cartoon and reading matter are a disgrace owned by one individual starting from Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles on to San Francisco that has done more to create race hatred than all of the newspapers in the world that has promoted every race riot of any note for the last ten years. Thanks to God, the lower set of both races did not answer their call to prize fight. Public sentiment relative to the race riot has promoted especially from the white man's view. Their opinion is that this is such a setback to the whites and such a victory for the Negro race. The battle was left to the man own affair. Had he been left to the man own affair to promote the fight right, Johnson and Mr. $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, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the fores of youth, that has cured so many women and man men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think any man who wishes to regain his many power, will be virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. I have also needed to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and is convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and virility. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that my man anywhere who is weak and disconnected with repeated failures may stop drunkling himself with harmful patent medicines, and take care of the quickest-acting, restorative, upbuilding, TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. R. C. Luck Building, Detroit, Mich., and I will send you of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary doctoree free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it. BY HAROLD C. McGATH. Jeffries would have received about a two-thousand-dollar guarantee, and it would have a hard matter to collect the guarantee with the privilege of holding Philadelphia or Chicago, if they had depended on the Negro for their support. Reports have it in the next chapter of the big fight that the Negro sports won such a huge victory, sections of the country that white men lost millions. Some lost every dollar they had and their business. If reports are true the money won by the white men by white men, it is fair, let that the whole colored race did not win, $40,000 they won a billion. I told you so and a big bunch of boisterous noise. Had the sporting white men gone direct to the big colored sports and offered to bet them $5,000 Jeffries he could not have gotten his bet. The reply would have been that there is something wrong; that the fight was a fixed-up affair; that Johnson had sold America, no matter how much noise was made after the fight. Where this fight could have been centered out as a race supremacy one no one Negroes have been fighting and winning champions of fifteen years, have held the honors from bottom up; have shown themselves to be as true as steel against all kinds of odds winning champions, he is only following the path of his predecessors—John L. Sullivan, Jack Dempsey, Fitzsimmons, James Corrigan, Bob Jackson, Bokse Dobbs, George Dixon, Bob Dobbs, Frank Ernie Terry McGovern, Young Corbett and Joe Gans. All of the above were champions who now but fought on until the referee counted the same way. Why should the public take Jeffries' defeat to heart? The past champions in their day were as good as the current players, must fall or the game will die out. They have fallen and will fill. There will be prize fighting as long as the world stands. That the last heavyweight fight has been fought in this world. There will be another fight here in this country just as soon as a man shows up who can beat him. That the last hollowing will demand it. Don't be worried—Johnson will not return. The sporting writer will not allow the fight to be done, the price, the same as James J. Jeffries, who returned to the ring to get that pile of money regardless of whom he was to win. This man will continue to make life one sweet dream. Let the suckers fight out the race question. It was the same case with Johnson, who won. Gods in his hands before he became a superstar in the loose easy. As to the fight pictures, this cruse only makes them popular. The film concerns could not have gotten such popularity, and the country under the sun has had something to say except China and Abyssinia. Do not worry. The Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures will be shown the world over. The movie is another dollar the ver dollar is another. When the narrow-minded crowd gets their whooping all worn out of them they dig down and pay to see them themselves. But let us use the movie as our not our deciding point anse to which race is superior, which of the two races is superior over the other. We have given the other part of the civilized world enough talks about the pole to advertise the country it is not necessary to fill it up with fight noise. Some people in the foreign lands are the biggest set of four-fushrers under the sun. HEAVYWEIGHTS IN THE MAKING TO MEET THE NEGRO CHAMPION. As thick as berries on a juniper tree they come who would wrest of J. Arthur Johnson his rare distinction. Each week sends forth some new candidate to be sized up by the public as to fitness to stand before his ebony highness. Most of them one will suspect are more tempted by the vision of a pot of gold than hope to cut Mr. Johnson down. However that may be, last week sent forth a Croesus, one Warren Barbour, who rolls in wealth, and who is in the game for the glory, thus relieving the phase of pure commercialism. Mr. Warren Barbour, the would-be new hope, is a millionaire. His old man made the money by making and selling thread, passed the wad on down to the boy. The young man always athletically inclined, kept at it until he has attracted the attention of those that know things. Jaack Cooper has the new man in training. He predicts great things for him. Cooper as his trainer has an especially prescribed course for him in event of the match. Among other things he says: "The hardest men in the business should fight him, and I wouldn't be afraid for him, either. Then, after he'd get used to handling himself in the professional ring we'd make the match with Johnson. That would be in about a year." Barbour is a young giant, standing 6 feet 2-1-2 inches in his bare feet; weighs 208 pounds when in fighting trim. Cooper says that he is a "cagey boxer—so shifty as to be hard to touch and full of tricks of his own." Soon after the fighting aristocrat had won confidence of himself and his admirers he felt that it was his duty to go after the aamteur heavyweight championship of Boston. This was no mean prize, since the city of books enjoyed the reputation of being the rendezvous of men of muscle as well. In the training for the Boston championship it is given out that Barbour tried himself out on everything that dared come before him, all of whom declared that they would have preferred to have gone through the real thing. Jeffries boxed with him and then begged Barbour to join the training camp in California. In all these bouts the gallery of Cooper's gym was filled with society folks cheering Barbour. Joe Burke held the championship of the pork and beans city, and a good one he was, according to report. When Barbour and his trainer thought he was in form for his maiden effort Mr. Burke was invited to get ready to get busy. It was a hard-fought battle. Burke was a rusher. Barbour a sidestepper. It was slap-bang for a few rounds. Then came the finish. Burke swung with his right to the jaw. Barbour knocked the fist over his head and put a straight left into Burke's ribs that felled him. Burke came back for more. Barbour knocked him down with a right and left on the jaw. Burke was a beaten man, but he struggled to his feet. The knockout blow was a terrific left that landed almost on top of Burke's head. The champion went down like a log, and his seconds and doctors were 20 minutes bringing him around. So Barbour scored. But will he go up against the real thing? He has not THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER said, his trainers have not said so. He is merely suggested as one more of the eligibles—those in the class to make things interesting for Champion Jack. *** Jim Corbett, ex-champion heavyweight, and Hugh McIntosh, Australian fight promoter, have entered a combine—a sort of pugilistic trust—to produce a man that can toe the line and a "leetle" better, in short, to squeeze Jack out of his title. The pair is mum as to who the discovery is, simply referring to him as the "unknown." McIntosh, who staged Tommy Burns in Australia, offers to stage the fight for a greater purse than that of the recent fight. And to make matters more interesting, Corbett has quit work, threw up his stage contracts that he may give all of his time to the training of the "new hope." It is thought that Johnson will not accept a challenge within a year's time. He recently turned down an offer of $75,000 made by McIntosh for a year's tour, including three fights with Sam Langford, Tommy Burns and Bill Lang as his opponents. Joe Woodman, Langford's manager, is ever so earnest about a go with the champion. He says that he has already posted $5,000 and has $20,000 in good United States money to wager on the side. But catching his bird seems to be the most interesting part of the program. Johnson is a rara avis and worth while catching, seems to be the opinion among the plungers in high finance. Langford is forty pounds lighter than Johnson. What's the excuse for insisting that he can stand against the champion? Well, it won't be long before the "Tar Baby's" rating will be known. Langford will have a go next month with Al Kaufman in a six-round affair before the National Athletic Club of Philadelphia. The mill will be watched with considerable interest, since it is said that Johnson holds Kaufman a worthy opponent. The corrected version of Langford is that he is 24 years old, and not 30; has a wife and one baby, and not seven or eight children. He was born in Nova Scotia, is fond of home, avoids loud clothes and also avoids the society of whitepeople. * * * * And rumor still has it that Jeff will make one more fight. Sam Berger, Jeffries' manager, and Jack Gleason, who helped Tex Rickard stage the Johnson-Jeffries fight at Reno, have become more communicative, admitting that there was a strong possibility of Jeffries making another try for the championship. It is said that Jeff feels his defeat very keenly, not to speak of his many friends. But the chance of another crushing stares him in the face and such an event might be too severe a blow for him. Opinion is general that the grand old manof the fight game is done for. He and his efforts are now history. * * * It may have been meant only for a little boast, but Johnson willhave to pay for the talking. This information from Chicago: The champion heavyweight will have to turn $700 over to Cook county as a result of boasts following a recent controversy with George Little, his former manager. Johnson at that time asserted in disputing Little that he had $30,000 in the bank, a valuable automobile and diamonds worth $16,000. The statement was printed and a copy retained by the County Board of Assessors. Now he will be assessed on this amount of personal property. His profits of the fight July 4 are not subject to the tax under the illinois law, having been acquired since April 1. HOW THEY BROUGHT THE NEWS FROM RENO. Some very interesting things of the recent great fight are just beginning to show up. Those things which gave the fight its finest flavor are now being brought out. Who would have ever thought that a Negro would have figured as a principal in an affair which drew on the newspapers of civilization—English-speaking peoples, at any rate—for represatives at the ringside? The French Figaro sent its Monsieur Depuy from the gay Parce to note the tilt of Messieurs Jack and Jim. Big, old dullish London, the home of the fight game; also Australia (Kangarooland) sent men to see things for themselves. The two latter countries are where the sport spirit is hottest—patterned after the kings who set the example, keep alive the spirit of contest ever since the hawking days. When the 20,000 people sat encircling the small ring devoted to the fighters among them were 300 and above writing men, representing every known phase of secular journalism in its biggest and best sense. Many prize fighters—men who had seen-better days—were drafted especially for the fight, and who scarcely knew what it was to pen a paragraph. But they were there because they knew every inch of the game, because they could speak most intelligently about every move that would come under their observation. And then, too, money is no object in such times. Deliver and name your terms is it. John L. Sullivan was there and Battling Nelson, and scores of lesser lights, who had nothing much to do but look wise, grunt occasionally, talk some and the pencil-shovers de facto were "Johnny on the spot" to interpret every sign, grunt or word and to hatch it out into varns that were readily, eagely devoured by feverish eyes. No bit of intelligence was too poor for reverence. Respect attached to every man's opinion. Some of the newspapers had headquarters as completely fitted up as those seen at our great national conventions. Everything was stripped for the race—the race of news delivery. One San Francisco paper had fourteen fabulously paid special writers, including two red-blood novelists, one of whom was accompanied by a manager at least, if not by a trainer, and all trying to say each day the same thing in fourteen different ways. The layman would have thought that they would have run amuck, but in such times a scratch of the pen is important and it is very likely that no two will say things in the same way; the angle of observation and all that makes a difference. Twice-told tales don't cut any figure, just so they are differently worded. So there was something for everybody. A rival camp of this very heavily officered journal, not to be outdistanced, threw its papers off the train and into an automobile on the west side of the Sierras and shot through the night over Nevada and to Reno two hours ahead of the train. It was going some. The wild, wild ride of Tam O'Shanter and the bringing of the news to Ghent, or Cambridge, Lexington, Middlees towns and the rest of it wasn't in it with this modern transit. Some one writing of a mishap to one of these pencil shover's communications by wire, said that this man "dicated the story of each round as it was fought directly into his New York office, lost his wire somewhere in the neighborhood of Omaha just after his paper had beaten everybody else in town by eight minutes. Blocked but not dismayed, the story went flashing westward over the Sierras to San Francisco, down to Los Angeles and eastward by the southern route through Yuma. It was astray there a little later, and he had to swing it round to New York by way of Butte and St. Paul, and we could hear, as we sat there, code calls reaching for it from cities all over the West." Such was the hurly-burly and crush of business that the writer's stuff got lost in the shuffle. He was fortunate in finding it and we may hope got in his scoop or at least preserved himself against being scooped—the zest of the business—an asset as sure as bank accounts. An account of Jeffries as told by one of the army of correspondents; "There was nothing winsome about Jeffries. He was as surly and ugly as a caged bear. He would ride past you on a country road, returning alone from a fishing trip crouched in the rear seat of his automobile, swartly, glowering, chewing gum, and never so much as notice your greeting by the flicker of an eyelid. After the machine had stopped at the gate of his training quarters and a crowd of harmlessly demented admirers had gathered about it, he would sometimes sit there without moving for five or ten minutes, still glowering straight ahead, chewing gum and seeing only, as it seemed, the vision of his black rival coming to meet him across the ring. There was something peculiarly sinister in this static ferocity, and he did not lessen the impression when he climbed down at last aand walked slowly aaway, seeing no one, with his huge right arm partly contracted and slowly sawing the air as if aimed for a blow." When the formidable pose was seen—legs astride, defiance and victory—10 cents would not have been offered for Jack's chance. "Never was seen a human being more calculated to strike terror into an opponent's heart than this scowling brown Colossus as he came through the ropes, stamped like a bull pawing the ground before his charge, and, chewing gum rapidly, glared at the black man across the ring." "If looks could have throttled, burned and torn to pieces, Mr. Jak Arthur Johnson would have disappeared that instant into a few specks of inanimate dust." "Lil' Artha' Johnson, the Negro, was as different as could be. About twenty pounds lighter than Jeffries, with a rather lathy underbody and superb shoulders and arms, he was as smooth and sleek and supple as a seal just coming out of the water. Light-hearted, humorous, witty, even, as he showed—even during the thick of the battle—when any one ventured to engagehim in repartee, he yet had the good sense or cleverness to keep the respectful ingratiating ways of the Southern darkey. He was quiet, well-mannered, generous in what he said of his opponent, and, indeed, not without an almost winsome charm. "In the ring he at once became fascinating. There was mystery in that slow, flat-footed shuffle, in the way his gloves, moving slowly about his opponent's biceps, turned like lightning either to block a lead or shoot in a blow." Biliousness "I have used your valuable Cascarets and I find them perfect. Couldn't do without them. I have used them for some time for indigestion and biliosness and am now completely cured.
