The most recent week was the finest and most classy that has been presented to the Louisville public. They were as follows: Mr. J. Francis Mores, formerly of the Williams and Walker's great show, the greatest of the show, the greatest of the delineler. Mr. Mores alone is well worth the price paid for the whole performance.

The Young Men's Progressive League Club of this city, with quarters at 11th and Walnut streets, is in the hands of the constable. It was the swellest, most active and select organization of its kind, and made of ordinary dust could not enter its portals. People wonder why they called themselves "progressive" unless they intended to make great progress accumulating in their dooway, and the event was concerned, they may have been aptly called the "retrogressive league," like a crab, they ever went backward, lived true to the motto over their dooway, and gave gift letters, "oward and Upward." They went onward for a while and now they have gone upward. Wilkins & Bowman, the undertakers, took over the job for a poor and the poor junior. Mr. Taylor Becker, was found in the midst of the club's assets, "Bachelor for her children crying, and could be comforted. When asked about the club, he amid amid the noise, "Indeed, indeed, indeed it is a daylight club now, for, for the man has turned off the lights." Back, the president, did all he could to help the club, the club but could not produce enough of the kind of medicine to effect a cure. Besides, it was chaperoned and nursed by those indeed undertakers, who nightly sung that oil and familiar birilad. It Haved Wanted, Honey, Waited Long for You. The club boasted of having the "champion and whist players," but in the final game, when all was at stake, the most astute and finest players, the undertakers, took them. Mrs. Norn K.

OBSERVE CHARITABLE DAY BENEFIT OF PROVIDENT HOSPITAL AT CHICAGO LELAND GIANTS AND GUNTHERS TO PLAY Double Header—Mayor Busse Will Throw First Ball—Jack Johnson to Umpire the Game—Society Notes. (BY Cary Lewis). Bureau, 2933 State street. Special to THE FREEMAN CHICAGO, Ill. Aug. 3—August 18 has been set apart by the colored people of this city as one of the greatest days of the year. The colored people of this city will be the day when the citizens of Chicago (white and colored) will turn out by the thousands to witness the baseball game for the Leland Giants and the hospital. The Leland Giants and their mothers have already consented to give their services on this day, and two other teams will do likewise.

And he would do everything in his power to make the financial success. Mrs. Busse, wife of mayor Busse, will donate the balls for the game, and Senator Lorimer the bats.

People of all sorts and conditions; societly people, business men and professional people, music will be engaged to help their support, and the game promises the most largely attended ball contest ever seen in the city of Chicago. Red Sox and the Giants will be engaged and the Park Owners Association will be given a cordial invitation to be present. The levated railroad officials have promised to advertise the game at all their stations, and the game promises to be promised to do likewise. The colored papers have biven much space to the coming event already, and it looks as though the teams will be encouraged to realize a handsome sum for the hospital. The institution is well known and has done as much for the colored and white people of this and other cities as any other institution in the city. All the physicians in the city of Chicago have purchased tickets for the game and are urging their patrons to do the same. The scarcity are now on sale at Provident Hospital, the only one on sale in the city, and the secretary urges that the first come will be given the preference.

"Come and dance with the Kentucky Girls" was the invitation sent out by Dr. Katherine O'Neill Tuesday night of this week at Rasch's Park. The young society people accepted an invitation to be present. They had a fine time. It was a select affair, and a most delightful dancing and partaking of refreshments. The Kentucky girls are just "having the time of their lives," and making many friends. "They are often seen motoring, go to the movies, and always present at social functions. Quite a number of affairs have been in their honor. Quite the most charming social function of the season was the reception given last week at the Appomato Club in honor of Mrs. Thomas Cole, Miss Georgia A. Lattimore, O.N. of Lafayette, and Mrs. Anna Todd O.N. of Frankfort, Ky. The reception was from 5 o'clock until 7, and during these hours there was a steady stream of callers.

Everybody Happy Over the Victory of Johnson—Our Special Correspondent Tells of the Outcome. (By Leo. W. Daniels, special correspondent of The Freeman at Glasgow, Scotland.) Glasgow, Scotland, July 12. To the Editor of The Freeman. Sir—The great fight between Jack the Giant Killer and Jeff, the white man's hope, created great excitement here among all classes, races and conditions of men. I get many hearty handshakes and congratulations and even cheers when passing through the city or suburbs. As far as I can hear it is "Good old Johnson!" "The best man won!" "Long may he remain champion!" "Are you a friend of Johnson's?" "Good old chap!" and nothing but good nature and good will of heart shown except in a very few isolated cases. They are true sportsmen here. The American whites are now showing up their ignorance, unjustness and brutality to the world in a way that will make them less popular than ever in sporting circles at any rate. There is no doubt but that the whole population of the white world would rather have seen "the white man's hope" at the top of the pole. He was not able to get there; that is a clear fact. The true sporting spirit them admires the hero who did get there—"our Jack." If the civilized world knew more of what the American Negroes were doing, it would go a great way in obtaining world-wide respect for the race and more denunciation of the treatment dealt out to them by the unjust white Americans, who wish so much to be at the top of the pole in all things. Come Away. 'American Blacks.' Get out into the open, out from under the white American's prejudice bushel. Let the world know you have qualified lawyers, doctors, bankers, real estate men, property owners, churches, colleges, schools, universities, with men among you able to conduct their own business. The above you can't drum into a foreign white man's head. They think the black American is now like he was 45 years ago if not worse. How is this? It's because you are contented to stay at home and allow the yellow journals of all civilized and semi-civilized people, as in America, go forth and black-guard, slander, deride and libel you without contradiction. That Jack Johnson's profession is not to my liking, I do not hesitate to admit. Nevertheless it's an art and a paying game—an art of which he is truly the master. He has established world-wide fame for himself and the down-trodden race. Let others go and do likewise in their art, profession, science or trades. Johnson has put the world to thinking; if there is a great muscular redevelopment and physical ability, there must also be great brain power somewhere. So there is. It is in the race that has supplied the world with the greatest fighting machine known or unknown. The Conqueror of "the White Man's Hone." It is the power of brain and muscle, judgment and tact. There will undoubtedly be a world-wide move made to prevent the exhibition of the moving pictures of the great fight. Why? Because the black man was the victor. Our victories must not be kept before the youth of a white man's country; it's too humiliating. Here in religious Glasgow the town council has been petitioned not to allow them to be shown at the music halls, and a similar petition is being sent to the London Parliament to prohibit the pictures in South Africa, India, etc. Had Jeffries won would this be so? No, they would have been used to cower these poor, simple, good-hearted natives, to make them fear the power of the white man and make them feel their own insignificance before him. The world must know only of the white man's superiority and only of the inferiority of the Negro and all dark races, robed in its shadiest garb. How can you colored journalists sit at ease under this? Publishers, give the world the history of this great battle in book form as it would have been shown on the screen. Give the biography of the champion, also that of others of your good men, and let the world read. Let it go down into history. Give the comments of the $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, falling memory and lame back, brought upon excessively drugs so the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and am convinced that the cure of deficient manhood and virility failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that any man anywhere who is weak and disquieted, dragging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and the most common remedy. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson, 3331 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich, and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. Doctors will send you $3.00 to $5.00 for writing out a prescription like this, but I send it entirely BY HAROLD C. McGATH. sporting world's presses of the injustice shown in that country to an inoffensive people and your champion. Let this great work be written by a brainy colored man. Lose no opportunity to get your best reading matter before the uneducated world and let them know what you are doing, what you can do and what you have done. Nearly every news agent in Glasgow today shows Johnson's big profile outside the shop doors. The real champion of the world! It is very nice, in fact, it is inspiring, to another man of color to see it. But oh how humiliating when you see the picture of a black man displayed as being lynched and in most cases for alleged offenses against women. They are sometimes displayed in big, bold letters 6 to 10 inches deep. The following headlines are usually seen: "Another Negro Lynched by Whites in America for Assaulting a White Woman"; "Negroes Shot in America"; "Negroes Burned at the Stake." There is only one conclusion for the populace here and that is that all Negroes are alike and that they are as represented by the yellow gutter papers. The press, as you all know, is the greatest educator today. Why not take your place there? You can get correspondents if you wish to fall in line with other newspaper enterprises. You must extend to outside the confines of the race-hating hordes of America. Bear in mind that there are many here, and elsewhere, as bitter toward the black man as can be found in America. Why drink in all the poison of the one-sided press against the colored man, who is stigmatized as being possessed of all the vices America contains and not a single virtue. I have been residing in Britain for many years, sixteen of which have been spent in this city, mixing and mingling with all classes of men and women. I have not been asleep. My eyes are open to all that is going on through the press, commercially, socially and otherwise. One thing is certain: The black man must make his own way; no white man will do it for him, nor yet help him to do it. Why not? Because the united white press, the united white Christion civilization (?), and the united white state rulers are at one in all things where a Negro's interest is at stake. In America they are bold with it—out and out—in other countries they are sneaking. They would rather not offend the American cousin. He is generally wealthy. Why should he not be rich. I often ask after obtaining for nearly 250 years the unpaid labor of from three to ten millions of slaves. They usually stop at that and then give credit where credit is due. Your press before the world is the black man's hope. Jack, the slayer of the white man's hope, which I hope may be forever, has opened many new avenues for the Negro if he will take the opportunity to work upon them. Take new courage now. Three cheers for Jack the Giant Killer and the same for the colored journalists and the Afro-American press, the black man's hope. Leo W. Daniels. 8 Cartside St., Langside, Glasgow, Scotland. P.

L. W. D. HOW CUBA REJOICED OVER JACK JOHNSON'S VICTORY. Big Reception at Isle of Pines—Everybody More Than Happy—Citizens to Present Valuable Present to Great Champion. (By John D. Clair, Special Correspondent to The Freeman.) Santa Fe, Isle of Pines, Cuba, July 20.—This is just to let the old folks at home know that the Fourth of July and the big fight was not forgotten in the Isle of Pines. Though we are far away, we did not forget our duty. We began to celebrate on Sunday night, July 3, at midnight. The village blacksmith was kind enough to loan us two anvils, which we converted into canons and to hear them fired would remind one of the Battle of San Juan Hill, and we kept it up until daybreak of July 4. Then cannon crackers and rockets took the place of the anvils, and then at each boom there were cheers for Jack Johnson with such words as "Eat 'em up, Jack!" "Show him how to fight, Jack!" "Kill him for me, Jack!" By 8 o'clock the fight fans from every part of the island were in the city of Santa Fe, and at Dave's Place, headquarters for all sporting events. There were a few Jeffries admirers and they played their change; but there was Johnson money everywhere and they were good sports. They gave all kinds of odds to get bets and a few dollars. The largest winners were Mr. and Mrs. John D. Clair. Mrs. Clair won a beautiful Singer sewing machine valued at $55 and Mr. Clair won $60 in cash and three tubs of beautiful begonia plants worth $10. There were many smaller wagers. Dancing began at high noon and continued until 6:30 a. m. Tuesday, July 5. At 1:45 I received the first confirmed message of the fight, and in a short time we had the whole bunch at the house reading the bulletins. Some one in the crowd suggested a dance, and to tell the truth we could not have done any better if we had planned the affair a month ahead. At 8:30 o'clock the crowd was back ready for business and everybody wore a Jack Johnson button. Then all one could hear was "Oh you Jack!" and other expressions of like character, Dancing, singing, speaking, etc., was indulged in and refreshments were served. Prof. F. D. Sulis, our pianist, composed a two-step entitled "Our Champion Jack". Some were dancing, jumping and doing every funny stunt that they could think of. Some were THE FREEMAN.

THE EASE WITH WHICH JOHNSON HANDLED JAMES JEFFRIES BEING APPARENT. standing on chairs, tables—well, I can not describe the scenes. The people fairly went wild Our menu: Ice cream, cake, punch, Spanish wine and cigars. Many toasts were said in honor of Jack Johnson, with many best wishes for our champion. We all hope never to see Johnson and Langford meet. If they ever meet, we sincerely hope that Johnson will put on Langford what he will ever remember. The cabinet maker is just completing a box made of several kinds of native hardwoods with "J. A. J." inlaid in black ebony grown on the island. Some of the wood is historic, being of the first bell post from the Catholic church built on this island during the Cuban slavery days. This box will be presented to our champion through The Freeman by Mrs. John D. Clair of Santa Fe, with the wish that he may retain the title won by him in his big battle. Everything went O. K. until one Mr. Roberts of Barbadines was invited to attend the Jack Johnson entertainment. His reply was: "I won't be there, since there is so much yelling for Jack Johnson. I am working for an American white man and may lose my job." So Mr. Roberts was not there and the fun went on just the same without him. Little Anne For- SCENE IN FOURTEENTH ROUND.

Criticise America for the Many Outrages Which Occurred Between the Races Here. (By George M. Johnson.) Special to The Freeman. LONDON, England, July 20.—Serious English journals have begun a discussion of the Jeffries-Johnson fight at Reno, the queer part of it being that the English, who usually take delight in anything it believes reflects adversely to the credit of America or Americans, suddenly reverts to advice for supression of the Negro. The London Afternoon Star is practically the only afternoon paper that has criticized the outbreak of anti-Negro violence which was reported here—doubtless with great aggravation—to have occurred all over the United States immediately after the result of the fight was announced. Even the Star's criticism was due to a desire to retaliate upon ex-President Roosevelt for his strictures upon the failure of England to keep better order in Egypt. The rest of the British press takes the surprising attitude—surprising for the British—that it is quite natural for white Americans to have resented the defeat of their champion. As serious a paper as the London Times, commenting on the fact that Americans dislike to see a white man beaten by a Negro, remarks: "The feeling, we think, is not confined to America. It is very easy for us in England, where we have no color problem, to talk with indignation and abhorrence of the lynchings and the outrages which occur so frequently in the Southern States of America. We have yet to see how the English would act if confronted with entirely similar conditions. There is much reason to fear that our attitude would be no more tolerant." The Times also shows indications of considerable mortification at the Negro's victory, but consoles itself that this single instance has "nothing whatever" to do with the relative qualities of the black and white race. "A thousand picked American white men would probably beat on equal terms a thousand picked Negroes in any conflict or any form of physical endurance. An average muscular Caucasian of the northern provinces would probably stand a strain of prolonged fatigue under which Johnson would break down utterly," it says. The Telegraph, another heavyweight London daily, agrees with the Times. it deplores lynchings and violence, "but behind them," it says, "lies the absolute necessity of keeping the Nego race a little in check, for if it gets out of hands collectively mad with excitement there would be worse scenes under the Stars and Stripes in the Twentieth Century than have ever been seen there." INDIANAPOLIS LIGHTWEIGHT TO GO AGAINSTWOLGAST. Bout at Muncie in August. Arrangements have been practically completed for the eight-round bout LEASE WITH WHICH JOHNSON HANDLED BEING APPARENT. that is to be bpelled off here Aug. 9 between Ad Wolgast, world's lightweight champion, and Freddie Cole, the Indianapolis lightweight, who aspires to fistic honors greater than he now has. No decision will be given at the ringside and the Magic City Athletic Club, under whose auspices the affair will be given, has promised that the Indiana laws governing boxing matches shall be fully observed. Cole has selected Jack Dillon, the Indianapolis wetterweight, as his sparring partner in his training for the Wolgast match, and began hard training in the quarters of the athletic club. Cole has become popular with local fight fans, and while outsiders may figure that Cole has no chance whatever against the champion, he has some friends who believe he will be able to show up the Cadillac boy.

Answer—Joe Gans and Battling Nelson fought three decisive battles and the first one ended in Gans' favor, he winning on a foul in the forty-second round. In the second and third battles Gans was easily defeated inside of twenty rounds.—Hill. THE FREEMAN AT BALTIMORE.

THOMPSON Perhaps Sam Langford needs the advertisement. * * * The shiftless Negro must be made to move on. * * * It may be safe, but it is awfully ungenerous to wait until a man is dead to praise him. * * * In addition to the ballot, do the dear suffragettes desire the privilege of asking men to marry them? * * * Married life is unquestionably best for both men and women, if—but why pursue the subject in this limited space? * * * We just naturally have our suspicions about spasmodic virtue. Too often there’s a colored gentleman concealed in the woodpile. The Liberian natives have not revolted now for more than a week. They must have heard that "Bwana Tumbo" Crum is on his way. * * * * The saloon is open six nights in the week; the church is open from one to two nights. Is there any wonder that the saloon often draws the larger patronage. * * * * When "T. R." gets the country's politics in proper working condition and the tariff problem is adjusted by President Taft to the satisfaction of both Massachusetts and Indiana, the aviators will be ready to wrestle with the question of Jim Crow cars for aerial liners. A coming man in the A. M. E. Zion Church is Rev. B. G. Shaw, the energetic presiding elder of the Chicago-Detroit district of that connection. He is an able organizer, a magnetic pulpit orator, and knows how to "mix" with the people without sacrificing the dignity of the "cloth." Just watch B. G. Shaw rise! If there is to be a semi-centennial exposition of Negro progress, some tall lobbying in Congress will be necessary, to say nothing of developing a strong sentiment among the masses through the medium of the press, the pulpit and the school. The exposition, as planned, is too big a proposition to be carried in anybody's vest pocket. Drs. C. V. Ronnan and R. F. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn.; Daniel H. Williams, A. Wulberforce Williams and George C. Hall, of Chicago, Ill.; S. A. Furniss, of Indianapolis, Ind.; Willis E. Sterrs, of Decatur, Ala.; John B. Hall and Samuel E. Courtney, of Boston, Mass.; H. F. Gamble and R. L. Jones, of Charleston, W. Va.; and Gustavus C, Hall and P. A. Roberts, of New York, will be among the "giants" at the Washington convention of the UNION NOTES. The Union movement is moving forward. June and July were reported as the two biggest summer months in the history of the Union. The new Union mercantile service is pleasing the Union members. They are now able to buy anything to eat, wear or use at wholesale prices. Just think of the best sugar at 5 cents and lard at 12 cents. That is what the Union members are getting it for, and other things accordingly. The furnishing of protection to members for sickness, accident and death was a wise move. This department of the Union is very successful. Claims are paid right on the day of final proof. The Union reports that the memberships issued have now passed the 60,000 mark. This is a wonderful record, when one stops to think what a great number that is. Union members throughout all jurisdictions are making great preparations to celebrate Labor day. This is a great day among all Union members. Picnics will be held, speeches made, good things to eat will be dispensed, and a general good time enjoyed by all. The official journal of the Union, known as the Union Journal, has doubled its circulation in the past six months. Every new member gets the Journal, also many outsiders subscribe to it. Wm. L. Blocher, the Grand Vice-President of the Union, was the one who loaned Paul Laurence Dunbar the money to issue his first book of poems. Dunbar and his mother, Matilda Dunbar, both held Mr. Blocher in high esteem. Five different memberships are now issued by the Union, and more are contemplated. Sick benefits are paid from $3 per week to $132 per month. Policies are issued as high as $2500. There is maintained on deposit the sum of $100,000 to safeguard the policies issued through the Union. Every member is guaranteed honest dealings in every way. The new guarantee of the Union says that if any member is not satisfied after joining, he may have his money back in full. This shows great ability to please and satisfy members. No other society or order does this. Any reader wishing information in regard to the Union, or wishing to take up the Union work, should write a letter and enclose 10 cents (in coin or in stamps) for a three months' subscription to the Union Journal, and address it as follows; The International Liberty Union of the World, 328 Home Office Union Temple, Dayton, Ohio. NEGROES AS BANKERS. Recently a bank run by Negroes failed at Vicksburg, Miss. The news must have been distressing to the stumbled and fell, rose again, builted promoters, whom we have reason to think were worthy men, but who, unfortunately, got caught on the "short side of the market." Bank failures do not always mean dishonesty on the part of officials. Shrinkage in real estate on which loans were placed and bad collections are chiefly the cause. It was the cause assigned— National Medical Association in August. * * * Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, has succeeded in organizing a strong State Business League in Louisiana, which will send a big delegation of commercial factors to the New York convention next month. It is said that the recent State convention of the league had so many distinguished visitors as well as members of substantial quality, that it looked more like a national gathering than a State "confab." Dr. Jones never knows such a word as "fall" when he sets out to accomplish an object. Vry properly, Dr. Jones is president of the Louisiana League. Walving all consideration of the ethics of prize fighting in general, isn't an endorsement of the suppression of the Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures, under existing conditions, a dangerous concession to the dictum of the mob, which is ever alert to cut off all that tends to breed in a Negro the sense of equality with the whites? Would there have been such a spasm of virtue if Jeffries had "won out" at Reno? Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, one of the founders of Provident Hospital, Chicago, treasurer of the National Medical Association, and a philanthropist and man of affairs of the most useful type, was the only representative of the Statae of Illinois at the recent annual meeting of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, held in St. Louis. He was one of the 84 delegates and was appointed by Mayor Busse of Chicago. Despite the fact that Dr. S. L. Corrothers, one of Zion's ablest divines, is wont to preach the doctrine of the "soft answer," it is difficult for him to forgive a certain distinguished American for pausing in the heat of a campaign not long ago and calling him by the "short and ugly" term, usually employed to initiate members in high standing in the Ananias Club. Dr. Corrothers must possess his soul in patience. Time makes all things equal. We beg to acknowledge the receipt of the Teachers' Quarterly, the Scholars' Quarterly, the Juvenile Lesson Paper, the Young Allenite and other religious literature from the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, through the courtesy of Secretary Ira T. Bryant. Mr. Bryant is "making good" as the generalissimo of this up-to-date printing and publishing house, and his reelection by the General Conference of 1912 is a foregone conclusion. In two years Mr. Bryant has brought order out of chaos and placed this debt-ridden institution firmly upon its financial feet. bad collections—by the Vicksburg institution. Bank failures are incidents to business life. With the very best care they cannot be wholly avoided. Such being the case, banks by colored men will not be proof against the things that beset institutions by white men. The same opposing conditions will confront Negro institutions as confront white institutions. Colored men, however, will have to try to avoid as much as possible such happenings as bank failures, since they are on trial in that higher department of business life. The banks by colored men, so far as it is known, have been at least safe. Whether they have made money is a matter known only to the officials. The public is not interested so much in that question, yet it is reasonable to think the depositors would prefer to know that the managers are making money; otherwise they would not feel secure. Colored bank officials cannot afford to take chances that would not be taken by the very best financial institutions. This from a race viewpoint, since similar institutions by colored men are held as sort of financial suspects, ever under suspicion of inability to grapple with the finesse of finance-finance at its best. The thing of integrity must be preserved and added to. Extra precaution is necessary to guard against failure. The failure of one such institution greatly reduces the stock of confidence in all. Colored bank officials are aware of the feeling toward their institutions, and from all indications are sacrificing by way of scant pay for services and in various ways are holding down expenses in order to withstand the charges of incompetency so often alleged. Negro banks are being filled with excellent men, who have become expert accountants; they no longer confound capital and interest or capital and profit, as in the past, thus assuring an intelligent conduct of deposits and assets, which means financial prosperity and insurance of depositors' funds. The growth of the banking business has been phenomenal. The one or two failures say that it has been sane and conservative, warranting the present confidence, and as it now appears warranting the fullest confidence. HOW TO GET ALONG IN LIFE. "What is the secret of success?" asked the Sphinx. THE DIFFERENCE between "prejudice" and "preference" is the difference between "harsay" and "experience." Smart Dressers are prejudiced in favor of Leviathan Hats because they have developed a prejudice for "Leviathan Hats" because they have found out by personal experience that they match any $'s style and any $'s quality—in fact, they believe that "None are Better." So will you after having once worn a Leviathan. Any Style—$2.00—Any Color Is one of the big monopolies, full of extortion, exploited and fostered for profit like any other monopoly. The people are defenseless. The fact is that the cost of dying and death are about prohibitive, as conditions are to any workingman's household. Even people in fairly easy circumstances are stunned by the expense. The Western Casket and Undertaking Company has been organized to enlighten the people on this vital subject. In our Catalogue we show the ways and means by which it places funeral expenses on a just and equitable basis. It is yours for the asking.

Since Director Durand has adopted the group system for his colored clerks it is understood that it is his plan to select a number of the students to fill the place in charge of the sections formed from members of their race.

The alley problem is again being acitated with vigor by the public-spirited citizens of the district.

Woodward, the district health officer, prescribes education as the panacea of poverty and filth, for, says she, with the help of a woman will endure the unsanitary conditions that exist in the Washington alleys. Wake up, somebody! Warning is again given to the publishers of newspapers throughout the country not to give space to alleged "news letters" unless the name of the writer accompanies them.

In the Census Office he has exerted a powerful influence in seeing it to the extent that both in coming to them both in the matter of accurate statistics and in the distribution of patronage to the worthy. Dr. Jones is the example of the type of men we wish to in places of trust and high responsibility. The defeat of the commission to inquire into the feasibility of holding a semi-centennial exposition of Negro progress in the town of the town. The blame is placed on a few selfish individuals, who wanted to "hog" the entire credit, plus the patronage, and keep the commission in office. A number of prominent citizens said that they had known the measure was coming up on that ill-fated night they could have raised their hands and be made to make the two-thirds. Nobody's help was asked, no effort was made to arouse popular enthusiasm. So one of the things to continue, there will not be a corporal's guard of support for the measure anywhere in the land. No Congress will appropriation bill on the representation of any "three tailors of Tooley街." --- The Interdenominational Ministers' Association of the city has adopted a resolution objection to the site recommended by the Board of Education for the committee waited on the District Commissioners Saturday to urge that the ground in question be not selected. The proposed site is situated between Sixth and Eighth Streets, the grounds of Howard University, and is known as the "Ballock property." The reasons advanced in opposition are, in brief: That it is too near the youngest students, not desirable for that it is out of the way and not easily accessible to the large majority of the colored people of the district; that the character of the thoroughfare leading to the school is not suitable for the use of the girls who must attend the institution. The committee presenting the objections was made up of Revs. J. Milton Waldron, R. B. Hale, J. Hale, C. Vaillant, D. E. Wiseman, A. C. Garner, R. K. Harris, and C. C. Alleyne. Are we to have a repetition of the Brownsville episode, with the racial aspect reversed? On a trolley car across the Fiatonace on a train, the officers took place between some Negroes and a number of white soldiers stationed at Fort Myer, said to have grown out of a dispute over the race of the Negroes is said have stabbed one of the white men, and as a result the latter is reported to be in a critical condition. To avenge what seemed to have been wrong, the officers attacked the Virginia jail a few nights ago, with the intention of lynching the accused Negro. They were outwitted, however, by a ruse of the jailer, and were put in a situation where the ring leaders are under arrest, and their action in thus disgregating the uniform of the United States army by participating in an attempt to overthrow the government. It is likely that severe punishment will be meted out to the offenders. An investigation is in progress, but will the witnesses prove guilty or guilty known? Will the Brownsville episode be repeated?

Mid the strains of "Down in Dixie," On one Independence Day, Day of the Dead, the crowd floated Many hearts were blithe and gay. Now the throng is called to order, And each speaker takes his place; In that crowd was represented Almost all men and women. The men tongues of gold and silver, They were flattered o'er and o'er, Till their cheers sent through that valley Thrills it never knew before. The crowd was in progress Of the German and the Swede, Of the Irish and the English, And Old Glorys mighty deeds. When was ended one bent figure, With tears of his face, Noticeed nothing had been mentioned Of his poor, down-trodden race. Then in fun someone suggested That the last and best should be A man of the crowd and the crowd went wild with glee. With faltering step he reached the platform. To the banners trampled down, And reveal to that blind audience The stars in Ethiopia's Crown. I was born in Old Kentucky Years before that war was fought, And children were born. Just like cattle sold and bought. I am not much of a speaker, But I'll do the best I can To tell you of the rapid progress Of what proft he the colored man. We have many men in the army. Who, through trials make a mark, And won respect from every mortal, Even though their skin was dark. Died in battle. With the whole world made a hit; Despite the features of the Negro, Douglass had both brains and wit. All useful men, though, black or white, Fearless, fearless. Although we see the lafres not, Their deeds and names shall live forever, Long was the memory of Lincoln, God bless his resting spot. Through months and years and centuries May he never be forgot. They had black men in that rebellion, And they saved it. And they shed precious blood, for which The world gives them no credit. Today we have doctors, lawyers, teachers, and our soldier boys in blue. Ready to fight. For the old red, white and blue. At the battle of San Jaun They fought a gallant fight, And won the battle to the time, "Down Tonight." Some now sleep on that battlefield, The rest came marching back; But to this day one half the world has been black. I have not mentioned scores of great men. If you doubt it, read and see; Last, but not least, I can't leave out the great minds have done great things. Striving to prepare our boys and girls To compete with every race. Then when our great men do step down There'll be some one to take their place. Although great minds have done great things I do not think it best To use their names, their deeds and fame That great minds have done great things Or get back to a safe retreat And at the conflict stare; Then, when someone else has fought and won. Come on and say "We" killed the bear. Join life's battle with thy might. Forward "till the victory's won.

The Bright Side of Terre Haute, Ind., Showing Some of its Strongest Colored Citizens, and their Part in its Struggles. 7 Within the next twenty years Terre Haute will rank second to Indianapolis among Indiana cities. Already she outstrips many cities much larger. She has the colorado people are rapidly acquiring habits of thrift and economy. The idea of conducting business and carrying on trade is rapidly settling in Terre Haute. You may find in this city three groceries, one meat shop, two coal offices, a dozen barber shops, two contractors and contracting carpenters, one concrete contractor, one plumbing contractor, one mall clerk, ten teachers, two doctors, two policemen, one lawyer, two ice cream parlors, two restaurants, three tailor shops, three church churches. This shows in a general way what the people of Terre Haute are doing. The fraternal spirit is shown by the fact that there are two lodges of Masons, lodges of Odd Fellows, two Calanthe Courts, two Eastern Star Chapters, a lodge of Tabernaes, a household, a good Hod-carriers' Union, and organizations representing the higher degrees of each order. The lodges of other orders their own building, worth $5,000, three stories high, and in which most of these orders meet. The Masons meet on a monthly basis, worth $24 monthly. The Hod Carriers have a large lot on which they expect to build a hall soon. The lodgists and the Baptists have very creditable edifices with an aggregate value of more than $12,000. A remarkable fact is that very few of the churches are in debt. The nearest cent. of our people are buying homes. This property, in many cases, contains modern improvements and is situated in a good part of the city. For work are splendid, there being few who really deserve work who are idle. Tere Haute has a population of about 50,000, probably three thousand of whom Taken all in all the people of this city have a bright future before them, and in years they will be a power in politics and commerce second only to Indianapolis.

Washington will sail for Europe on the 20th, the day following the close of the Negro Business Men's League convention. He will gather material for magazine articles which he contemplates writing. An appeal to erect a monument to the former slaves of the South has been issued in New Orleans from the headquarters of the United Confederate Veterans by Gen. George W. Gordon, commander in chief of the veterans. The appeal is in the form of a general order, which quotes the resolutions favoring such a monument adopted at the Birmingham reunion in 1908. E. Smythe Jones, the Negro poet, who was arrested last week on a charge of vagrancy after walking all the way from Natchez, Miss., to Cambridge, Mass., in order to enter Harvard this fall, was discharged in the District Court today. Considerable interest has been taken in Jones by the authorities at Harvard and they have given him employment as a janitor. While in jail there Jones wrote a poem entitled "Harvard Square," and dedicated it to the judge who dismissed his case. COLORED ODD FELLOWS MEET The State convention of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, the Indiana Grand Household of Ruth and the Fifth Regiment of Patriarchs of Indiana and Michigan, all Negro organizations, met in Richmond, Ind, last Tuesday. The Odd Fellows elected a committee on credentials composed of Louis Harris, chairman, and William E. Lounds, secretary. The Patriarchs and Odd Fellows heard the annual address of Mary E. Washington, president of the Grand Household of Indiana. LIBERIAN PROBLEM SOLVED. Through the medium of the State Department at Washington, arrangements have been perfected by which the Liberian Government is to receive a loan of $1,500,000 from American bankers. This will not only give Liberia enough money to refund its national debt, but will also leave $250,000 to be used in financing the country. For this magnificent result credit is due to President Taft, to Secretary of State Knox, as well as to former President Roosevelt's administration, and, of course, especial credit is due the recent commission which went to Liberia, studied conditions and made the recommendations in regard to financing the country. These recommendations the State Department has followed. President Taft and his administration deserve the deep gratitude of all who are interested in the preservation of the territorial integrity and national entity of the little republic.

Church, Twenty-fourth and Wabash avenue, preached a powerful sermon on the importance of his text "Acquaint thou thyself with God." The doctor stated and proved that he was thoroughly acquainted with the Christian to-day to venture in sin and folly just as far as possible without falling over. "Be a good Christian, or get down and go to church," he said, in blocks. Churches to-day are suffering for Christians pure in heart and deed. There are enough church members, but too few to be able to attend. The church pays live above the world." At the close of his sermon many were rejoicing and the spiritual tide was high. Quite a number were anxiously waiting to unite. Wayman Chapel A. M. E. Church, on the north side, has had a most prosperous history. Rev H. E. Stewart, formerly pastor of the Institutional Church.

The game was played against Rogers Park, and the team ended 6 to 5 in favor of the colored boys. A great crowd was present to see the game. It was snappy and interesting throughout. It proved more exciting when it was played ninth by singing, with two gone and Pettus on second. Just ahead of the colored team's success the Rogers Park team tied the game up on a single by Gertenier and Zangeri's double, but the Giants were too chance to win, but the Giants were too clever. The white team had an excellent chance in the seventh inning, but Ball gamely held them down. Ball pitched a great game and his舒rt-att was magnificent. Pettus, Wallace and Winston made two-base hits, Frank Leland told "Chappie" Johnson that if he made a hit in the ninth inning, the Giants would make the five, came to bat smiling, and said, "Boys, I got 'em." With this happy expression, he made a hit, broke the tie and won the game. During the remainder of the day and the end of many competitions, With the winning of this game the Giants are now in third place in the City League standing.

The new games by sensational ninth innning rallies. The Leland Giants may soon become the world's champions. The Chicago Giants returned to the city from St. Paul, where they carried off the honors of the week. They won the championship game. The Giants received great newspaper notice, the best, possibly, that any colored team has been given this season. The champions are holding their own and are climbing to the top of the City League. Major R. R. Jackson, secretary of the Chicago Leland Giants, has returned to the city after a deep visit to the Kentucky Grand Lodge, K. of Fort Franky, Ky. Mr. Jackson was not only heralded as a Pythian, but as a baseball magnate. He says Kentuckians are great people for hospitality. A five-dollar bill is the best that's been done yet this season in a financial way. "Chapple" Johnson leads the rest when it comes to drawing down "extra." "Chapple" wears the honor with becoming dignity. Walter Ball, one of the most polished baseball gentlemen among colored players, is still holding his own at the mound, and he will give his arm gives out he will go in vaudeville. This, however, is no likely to happen soon. Pettus, of the Chicago Giants, got two home runs off Johnny Davis, the St. Paul star pitcher, and in the same game "Chapple" Johnson banged a home run. Next we will hear of "Home Run Chapple." In the series between the St. Paul Gophers and the Chicago Giants, "Bob" Marshall, the W. and W. football star, who was released early in the season by the Giants, played the most sensational game he has played this season. He also made a home run. Taylor, the former Chicago Giant third baseman, played a good game of ball during the series. Since the season has opened, Capt. Pete Hill, the demon slugger of the Leland Kirkman, has handed out fourteen home runs, sixteen triples and twelve doubles. Can you beat it? Dave Wyatt has been declared the baseball critic of the minute. Jimmy McGee, the manager of M. Haynes of the week. For any kind of information these four gentlemen are not-topnotchers. For baseball information the manager correspondent acknowledges their work. ... During the series of the week, when the Leland Giants were playing the Cubs, the Giants made a run for the maker and premier, entertainer, mule haste to be present at each game. Mr. Dudley is from Texas, the home of "Rube" Foster and Jack Johnson. He has a large fan base of friends, but to his native State. They claim that Texas is the greatest State in the Union and has produced more men and national character than any other State. . . . Padron, the former Carter Star player, has got two home runs, besides playing a star game since joining Eddie Hahn's Red Sox, of the Chicago League. The mighty "Rube" Foster returned to his old-time form on Sunday, at Gunther Park, and took the Gunthers on their tour. The big manager has everything his way. "A mighty man is he." Duncan, Lloyd, Hill, Duncan and Booker are batting in the 350 class this season. On the basis one can depend for a hit at most any one time, especially at the critical moment. Bill Lindsey, of Kansas, and Earl, the star pitcher of the Brooklyn Royal Giants, are expected to be in the team that will go with "Rube" Foster to Cuba this winter. Capt. Nate Harris and his men are making a great showing these days for sensational baseball playing. Mr. Harris is one of the best captains in the country, and he has been showing the game and displaying his knowledge on the field. Miller, the former St. Paul and Chicago player, is scoring some great points for Jack Johnson's Kansas City bunch, and he appears faster than ever. During the Stars of Cuba and Leland Giants series at White Sox Park, Ed Walsh, Billy Sullivan, Lange and Gandil were eager spectators. Walsh said that Hill was equal to 'Ty' Cobb. William Adams, the popular taller, is a hard rooter, and never misses a game. He is the one of the best baseball critics on State street. The question is being asked here. What has become of the A. B. C.'s? No one reads them any more. Are they sewed up? Peters' Union Giants have hit the road and won several games. The team is said to be in excellent shape and doing well. Success to them. Pettus, with his clouting, is one of the mainstays of the Chicago Giants. When it comes to batting a ball, he is leading the other boys. Wallace, Moore, Seldon and Wright, of the Chicago Giants, are in all the games with heart and mind. They are doing well in the City League. While they play in favor upon their weekly salary, they also look with honor to be victorious. Duncan, Hill and Pryor are a trio in the outer field hard to beat. They are numbered among the very best in the country. There is some talk of Jimmy Smith launching in the game again. "Jimmy" is a veteran and well up on the game. Mr. Frank Leland has not said anything. The talk of the city is the great benefit for Provident Hospital. Mr. Alfred-An- derson expects this to be the greatest game in the history of ball playing in the city of Chicago. Reserve seats will be on sale at Provident Hospital. Wickware lost his first game, Sunday, when the Roseland beat him 3 to 1. "Wick" is all right. He is a credit to the Leland Giants' pitching staff. The West Baden Sprudels left the city very sudden last week. They went up against several pitches and made it pretty warm for their opponents. Manager Wyatt, of the Illinois Giants, had several new faces on his team last Sunday the puzzling question to the boys around Brown's is, Where does he get them? officially to the Freeman correspondent relative to his coming candidacy. He is, however, a candidate for county commissioner. Seldon, of the Chicago Giants, continues to play a good game at short Binga, of the St. Paul Gopher's is one of the veterans who still makes the youngsters hustle. The Fennimore, Wis., Gazette a white paper, contains the cut of "Rube" Foster, of the co-operative team, who are booked to meet the team at Fennimore, Thursday and Friday. Says he will bribing the bacon home. --- The fans are anxious to see the Chicago Giants and the Leland Giants have a chance. There is doubt that a series of games will be pulled off before these two teams later in the season. The fans want it, and the will of the people usually win. The Freeman continues to be read by fans all over the country. Letters are received here from all parts of the country stating that readers rely upon the section. After Monday there is a Freeman to be found at any of the news stands, which handle the paper by the hundreds. Mayor Busee has been invited to throw the first ball at the Provident Hospital game, Jack Johnson to umpire, S. H. Dudley to umpire, and everybody to be on the field. The Provident correspondent has secured one of the best boxes for himself and local newspaper critics. JOE GANS, FORMER CHAMPION LIGHTWEIGHT, DYING. Joe Gans, former holder of the lightweight and wetterweight pugilistic titles, fought as a cattle he. He is dying. Prescott, Arizona is several months ago in an effort to get cured of that dread malady, tuberculosis. When he left Baltimore Gans went to Phoenix, Aziz, but found himself growing worse after being there only a few weeks, and removed to Prescott, which watches over him in his dying hours. Before leaving Baltimore Gans felt that after remaining in Arizona several weeks he would be able to continue on to Rome. Aziz left for Jeffries, Arizona it was non go, and the best he could do was to read the dispatches sent on from the ringside. He would go to Arizona for a recommendation of rival and the man who took away his laurels, Battling Nelson. Gans' last fight was with Jabee White of England who was Yokoyama for poor showing. He was always one of the most modest boxers in the ring, notwithstanding the great record he made. He was a humble man.

CHICAGO — A change in the performance at Motts' Pekin Theatre on Monday night seems to have met the hearty approval of its patrons. Tom Brown, of Barn and Nevane, was responsible for lots of acts, and was the first performance of Brown's Perriott Minstrels. Bones, tambourenes, costumes, scenery and fresh jokes were the highlight of the show, more than a passing notice, on account of the notable absence of aught that could offend the most fastidious. Not a face was visible, but Tom Brown made to make Tom Brown look the part of a real clown and he proved to be a most amusing entertainer. There was a freshness about the minstrel, and the performance is entitled to fultest praise, considering that it was only a few days that Mr. Brown, assisted by Fred Burke, the musician, had to complete his set at his teacher. There was just the first part of a minstrel, and it agreeably met the approval of the audience and the troupe made a decided decision. The troupers happily filled a void which existed in the amusement field. The singing which is always a big part of a minstrel show is always mixed voices in the chorus that far outreach the usual range in a minstrel—there being songs of class well selected by Mr. Brown and harmoniously trained by Mr. Brown, who were funny, were funny, there being Jimmy Smith and Jimmy Brown of the "Ten Dark Knights" to make the patrons laugh, and this they did. The minstrel opened with a well rendered chorus, "Welcome to Spring." Each performer seemed happy and glad, as Tom Brown was the leader of the Lost Girls, John McIntosh, and Jacqueline W. C. Washington and Walter Hill rattled the tambos, and Jimmy Brown, Harrison Nail and Tom Brown rattled the bones. The song by Mabel MacCraary, was the well received. During the singing of the chorus this little miss did some clever dancing that was in minstrel form. W. C. Brown of the "Ten Dark Knights," sung "Deep in the Mines." His voice was deep, rich and full. This number was followed by a song by Gertie Brown, "Tm Yoddisher Cowboy." It was good to good to good, well selected for the singer and occasion. Miss Lottie Grady and the big chorus sung "Some of These Days." This very song, sung by the chorus, is "What a Time," a happy song by Jimmy Smith and the entire chorus was another hit. It was Miss Anna Wilkins and I loved her. It was sung of "What Is the figure of us." Miss Wilkins has wide reputation as a saprano solist, she having figured conspicuously in a number of colored shows of some time ago. In her work, she made a D that was real sweet, clear and rich. The other numbers were "Garden of My Heart," by Leon Diggs, a sweet lyric tenor. The other numbers were "Big Cry Baby in the Moon," and a song quartet by Messrs. J. C. Thomas, H. Tapley, W. C. Collins and I. Gregg. The finale was When Hear the O'Qualifier by Keith Sack and company. It is expected to have another week's run. Miss Ella Anderson, the leading lady of the "Smart Set," and one of the most cultured singers, greeted with a rousing reception at the same show in which place were some of the most fashionable people of the city who occupied boxes and choice seats secured in Her singing on this occasion elicited the unmistakable evidence of gratification. Both her high and low notes were heard with her singing more than with her sweetness. Her singing more than met the expectation of her hearers and received the heartiest applause. Miss Anderson is a woman of dignity and beauty, and her experience was made her success in the theatrical world. In her repertor write "Angel Eyes," "For the Last Time Call Me Sweetheart" and "Consolation Lane," the last number being the best rendered. Most artistically several selections that brought forth much applause. Holland and Webb presented "Bill's Partner," an episode of western life, in one act. The scene was set in a small town in Nevada in the winter. The work of the two men was very clever and was a decided novelty to the patrons of Motts' Theatre. Novelty wire artists and moving pictures constituted the remainder of the bill. Mr. Kline, of the Monogram, had one of the best bills of the season on last week at the Monogram and he has another this week at the Monogram. The bill and wing dancers, are hold-overs. It was hard to tell who were the features on this bill. Brooks and Brown, who have scored hits time after time at all the theatres on the Strohman on some new work, and were very big. Miss Jennie Ringgold made her appearance for the first time for many moons, and she was a star in the stage, the possessing ability to please and charm addl much to the big numbers on her wardrobe. She singing and dancing came Claude Winty. His monologue work deserved the many hands that went in his favor. Next week Mr. Kiline has secured the services of Miss Abbie --- The Grand continues to have good bills. This is evidenced by the large crowds that ususually greet the performance in a concert throughout the night. One of the leading attractions at this house is that of Miss Oma Crosby's Kinker serves complements given the three actors. Thomas and Cumby, who have been seen on the "Stroll" for a number of times, applaud the performance and applaud the Red Moon Trio and Chas. Glipen are the other numbers on the bill. STAGE NOTES. Kelly and Davis are back from Cincinnati where they scored a big hit. Kelly and Davis aer at the Bush-Temple Theatre the last half of the week. Lyles, of Miller and Lyles, has been very ill but is reported to be very much better. "Slap Rag" and Joyner wrote the "Last Quadrille" for Jimmy Smith in Brown's Minstrels.

Mr. Shelton has been very ill and has been in the hospital since his many friends here and elsewhere will be glad to learn that he is much better and on the road to a complete recovery. The benefit given for Mrs. Beulah White at Odd Fellows last week may not have been a success in point of attendance, but from the number of tickets sold it was said to be a grand success. But very few of the tickets were sold. The large number bought tickets. The Pekin orchestra gave their service gratis and they played some of the best music that has been heard at a dance around Chicago. There came to the city last week Mr. Sam J. Corker, Jr., formerly business manager or the Red Moon, to take charge of the week's orchestra. This week the week Mr. R. T. Motts, owner of the theatre, called the attaches of the house and had them meet Mr. Corker, and turned the management over to him.

It is made up of the best aggregation of coached performers, and the best choreographers are expected to be things of beauty. RUBY THEATER, GALVESTON, TEXAS.

The Two Sweets are still the favorites, and have added a new feature to the act in the person of "Little Cuba," a Memphis favorite and a popular dancer. He has quite a future before him. The management is to be complimented on securing the services of Mr. Tim Wlsly as stage manager and producer. This young man, judging from the reports, has risen to be one of our foremost writers and producers and bids fair to become our second (Bronze Chesterfield) otherwise our late brother, J. Ed. Green. There will also be two more added to our company in the persons of the Raineys, a very clever song and dance team. Mr. James Hamilton, Mamie Johnson, our famous "Hot Con" girl; and Miss Julia Jones and Joe White, trap drummer, departed Sunday to join the No. 2 Company at Greenville. The Two Sweets will also leave in a week or so for a return engagement in Jacksonville, Fla. Our Prof McGill is still busy with the musical end of the show. Along with the assistant management of the house it keeps him busy. This week we are to have two very funny sketches entitled "The Burglar" and the "Deceiving Wives," which keeps the house in an uproar. There is a pretty fair oio. We are working to a little disadvantage the first part of the week, owing to our company being short of three people, who went to Greenville, Miss. The company sends regards to all of their friends, and will be pleased to hear from them at any time. THE OUTLOOK IN THE SOUTH: S. Tutt Whitney. Booker T. Washington has always maintained that the South is the natural field of endeavor for the colored man. No sober-minded person will dispute him. Booker T. Washington was hardly thinking of the theatrical profession when he made the statement. But a trip through the South will convince one that there has been no more rapid progress along any line than in things theatrical. Every town of any importance has its colored play-house, and for the most part they are well attended. From empty storerooms and lots in the walls there have grown many creditable theatres with all the modern equipments, capable of seating from 500 to 1,000 persons. New Orleans, Jacksonville, Norfolk, Richmond, Petersburg and Newport News stand at the head at the present time. The outlook has been so promising that white managers are becoming interested. Jake Wells has bought or leased the Globe Theatre in Richmond, which caters to colored patrons only. It is a sad fact that it is next to want to interest the colored men of money in this "sure thing" venture. If a colored man opens a theatre for colored people and expends $200 and does not make that back the first week with a 9 0 per cent. profit he is ready to close down. There are exceptions, of course, but they only prove the general rule. What is needed now is an organization of the colored managers, whereby they can exchange companies and talent and discuss things of mutual benfit. They must work in harmony. There should also be a vaudeville exchange and booking house, and by all means let it be controlled by colored men. I am afraid that when the colored managers of the South finally stop "knocking" each other and awake from their lethrap it will be to find white men in complete control and reaping the benefits of their pioneer work. There is a great field for colored professionals in the South. While the wages are not so high as in the North, the expense of living is low and the jumps smaller. There is a crying need for producers. More men are needed in the South like Bob Russell, Marion Brooks, Tim Omsley and others. I cannot think of a present intelligent man who can produce something original, who will give the public good clean shows and lift the moral standard of performances and performers. Everywhere the managers will tell you that they can get the patronage- if they can get the shows. Many good performers of the North would rather remain idle than venture South. To tell the truth, you will be molested almost as quickly in New York as in the larger cities of the South. You have practically nothing to fear, and the generous hospitality of the southern colored people will more than compensate for the ride in the Jim Crow and other salient reminders that you are a Negro. NOTES. S, Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt now starring with the Smart Set Company (South) are natives of Indiana, being born in Logansport, afterwards making their residence in Indianapoin in the show business about 1894, with Puggsley Bros.' Tennessee Warbiers. Salem, the older brother, started. In 1898 he organized a company known as The Famous Troubadours, presenting the "ex-President of Liberia," a two-act musical comedy of exceptional merit. Owing to a lack of capital, so necessary to the successful launching of a show, the "ex-President" Company was only out long enough to prove the merit of Mr. Whitney as a comedian and producer. After this play was withdrawn Mr. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Whitney organized a tent show which played successfully through New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia. In 1905 Mr. Whitney joined Gus Hill's Smart Set Company as stage manager, and was understudy to S. H. Dudley in 1906. Homer entered the show business, joining the Smart Set Company, enacting the character of Silas Jackson, a one-legged soldier. In 1906-7 the brothers joined the Black Patti Company, Salem doing the principal comedy, Homer doing the leading straight role. From that time their success as a team has been phenominal. In 1909 they headed the S. Smart Set Company and created a sensation in the South. This season they are being featured with the same company by Barton and Wiswell in the most elaborate colored production ever seen in the South. They are recognized by all who have seen them as the legitimate successors to Williams and Walker. Both are fortunate in having a good education. Both are musicians of more than ordinary ability. Since the death of J. Ed. Green Salem is rapidly becoming recognized as the leading producer. In the spring of 1910 the Whitney Musical Comedy Company played repertoire in the leading theatres of Indiana, changing programs nightly on week stands. The shows met with the highest approval and were the immediate product of the Tutt Brothers. At the present rate of rapid progress, two more seasons will undoubtedly place the brothers at the top of the ladder THE FASHION OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY THE LADY OF THE ROOM MRS.

McGATH. eities have been manifesting their Sportsmanship by shooting down the Negroes for no other offense than that they made merry over the victory of their black champion. Of course these hoodinms are no more typical of Americans than were the hoodlums of Clerkenwell and the New Cut typ- ical of Londoners. I much prefer to turn from these outrages to the jubi- lations over Johnson’s victory in his native town, Where Negro women car- ried the champion’s old mother shoul. der high and called for a speech from er.” The writer deplores the fact that his own country “has it” mildly; the English House of Commons has been petitioned not to allow the exhibition of the fight pictures—perhaps a bad example. Municipal bodies through- out the kingdom are being implored to “let the cup pass.” It is said that the banquet declared off by Jeffries was outdone by another when James Corbett after defeating Sullivan actually took Sullivan's seat of honor at his own “proposition,” he (Sullivan) being “unavoidably” de- tained elsewhere. So thus it is one is not prepared to say that he will live in his own house after the building of it, or eating the venison that un- erring sight, rifle and trusty dog brings him. ‘It is no wonder that Cor- bett and Sullivan did not fall on their “mutual” shoulders and weep at the sight of one another at Reno. Cor- bett was decidedly austere, but Sul- livan Was a newspaper man pro tem, so the little thing of incivility did not count for much. He had to have news even with the tilts included; the more the merrier. Corbett tumbled and grew civil, John also wrote that up —incivility and civility. ‘The Englishman quoted so freely spoke of the 30,000 pounds as a ‘‘con- solation prize” to poor old Jeff. It is fairly “hevident” that were it not for this prize Mr. Jim would tuck in under the pressure of the white man’s criticism. Never in the history of living things has one man been so universally assailed. The chorus of condemnation has been civilization’s anathema maranatha. Poor old Jeff's spiritual epidermis may be callous to it all and for the better. But the tragedy to hope has been enacted and civilization viewed from the white man’s side will neither forgive or forget. At any rate Johnson did his work so thoroughly that not a single voice has been raised against the decision. In fact, the battle was a “self-decided” one; ‘no exeusepresented itself for anything else but what followed. The licking was so profound that only a few deep curses mostly unheard were the fitting balances from the white man's viewpoint. The writer quoted, put It like this, “I do not want to be unfair to Jeff- ries, but his own countrymen are boiling with rage today that Jeffries should ever have been represented by’ himself and by his trainers as the: proper man to take the championship from Johnson, He absolutely never shaped during their fifteen rounds like a man worth laying a stives on.” ‘And then again: / “The simple truth is that in all’ America, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, they have failed to find a man worth his salt in Johnson’s company.” An advertisement in ‘THE FREEMAN ‘eines ueeultn: and has traveled through 34 States doing good wherever the went.

JOHNSON SETTLES DISPUTE, New Haven, Conn.—Jack Johnson settled a disputed question here when he admitted that he got his start for fighting in this city. He tramped into town in 1899, and was Janitor of Becky Stanford's ‘cigar store in Con- gress avenue for several months. Be- tween sweeping the store and clean- ing up the poolroom Johnson prac- ticed boxing. He sparred with Kid Conroy, then the cleverest lightweight in New Haven, and got him into shape for his best fights. While he was in New Haven, Johnson was given his first ideas of physical con- dition by Sid Cook, the Yale colored athlete trainer, who took a fancy to him. He began winning his fights as soon as he left here, and has never stopped. Johnson said that he has an offer to sign a twenty weeks’ engagement in London, but he doesn’t think he will accept it, When ‘asked who he thought was the best white fighter among the present-day pugilists. Johnson _re- plied: : “Kaufman in a long fight.” “Do you think you will ever fight Sam Langford?” “I will if he puts up $20,000 as a side bet and some club will offer a large enough purse. As for being knocked down, the only man who has ever knocked me down .was Joe Choynski.” Changing the subject slightly, John- son was asked if he thought he would ever fight Jeffries again. “L would if a large enough purse were offered.” A GREAT GAME.

BASEBALL AT LOUISVILLE. By Jesse Palmer. ‘The Pensacola Giants ended their series of games with the Cubs Mon- day. All of the games were well played by the Pensacola Giants. In fact, the Giants have about the best team in the South, barring none All they need is team work. The team won five and lost six of the games played. In Sunday's double-header Pitcher Smith pitched remarkable ball in both games. The Giants outplayed the Cubs in every part of the game. In the second the Cubs evened up things a little with West in the box. The Cubs won the second game. The erowd got a run for its money and was glad to break even. Notes. : Jf proper support had been given Benton in the first game, there would have been a different story to tell. Keep at ’em, Benton; we are with you. “Old Nat plays to win at all times; goes after everything and is batting in good form, Woods and Emory are only playing fair ball. Wonder what's the matter? Benton, West and Griffin are a nice buneh of twirlers. All we need is a right fielder and another catcher. Haywood Rose is doing nicely at present. Let the good work go on. Get in the game, Wallace, old fel- low. We know what you’ can do. Come on and give us a lift; now is the time. Watson seems to be rather listless at times. Wonder what's the matter with “Pup”? Bloomer Girls Sunday and Monday. _ The Freeman is on sale at Spring Bank Park every Sunday. Martin's playing at first gives gen- eral satisfaction and should be kept at first base. There is something loose some- where. The present Cubs are not the Cubs of old. I don’t know who is to blame.

Kansas City, Mo.—Over 3,000 fans cheered at Shelley Park last Sunday. The Royal Giants took two games from the Kansas City (Kansas) Gi- ants. In our last week's issue we spoke of the battle that was to be fought out at Shelley Park by our two crack baseball teams. We have seen exciting games, witnessed sen- sational plays, seen fans almost fren- zied with enthusiastic cheers for their baseball teams, but never have Kan- sas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., fans witnessed better games upon the diamond, nor have they shown so much feeling and spirit before as was displayed at Shelley Park last Satur- day and Sunday. Saturday's game was a hummer all the way; it took eleven innings to pick the winner. Chin Norman, Childs and Lee were the serving boys for the Royals, while Hardy, Skinner and ‘Tenney were the battery for the Gi- ants from Kansas. Norman was good all the way and pitched in his usual steady form. In the tenth the game looked long. Childs was sent in by Captain Jack because he was fresh. He helped to add glory to the good work already accomplished by Nor- man, Hardy was stingy at first, but by giltedged support from his team- mates was able to last six innings. At this period the Royals showered balls over the lot, and when the smoke had cleared away five bunched hits and two scores were chalked against him. Captain Norman gave him the “23” sign for the bench, Skinner, who came in advance of the Oklahoma ‘Monarchs, was called to the mound and pitched good ball till the eleventh inning, when by a wild pitched ball the game was ended. The score was 3 to 2 in favor of the Kansas City Royal Giants. Sunday was the big day. All fans from both sides were there 3,500 in number. They yelled and cheered while their respective teams battled for the second game of the champion- ship series. ‘The Lacy boys’ band was there also; they paraded from 24th and Vine and played well for a bunch ‘of youngsters. GREAT BALL PLAYING. Chicago Giants Worst St. Paul Goph- ers in a Series of Games. The Chicago Giants, formerly the Leland Giants, and the Gophers of St. Paul, Minn., had a great go last week in the latter city. The two clubs are rivals for the distinction of the lead- ing club of colored players in Amer- ica, The reputation of the Chicago Giants has been enviable. In the last year or so the inclination has been to go against the former Lelands as a sort of test of strength if nothing more. A few clubs, however, have had the hardihood to buck up against the Chicago Giants with the hopes of taking a little of the lustre off of them, among these being the Gophers of St. Paul. The Gophers started in at a merry z did Music. A Perfect Carnival of Attractions.

Umpire, Thompson, July 25, The pace set by the Goph- ers on the first day aroused the “an- elent” blood of the recognized cham- pions.

To the Australian Evening Times, Sir—Hats off to the Yankees! By their cowardly treatment of the Ne- groes because Jack Johnson did not “lie down” to big Jim Jeffries, and also by their boycotting the “living pictures,” they have “clearly demon- 7 strated the superiority of the white race.” Methinks they have disgraced the white race. More cowardly and unsportsmanlike conduct could hardly be found. Sportsmen throughout the world, whose sentiments led them to hope ‘for a Jeffries victory, will now, I imagine, be thankful the fight-fin- ished as it did. By the way, I wonder if Sir Thomas Lipton would get that blessed cup if he happened to win it? Tam, ete, S. Stanwall. WHAT OTHERS SAY OF US. San Francisco, Gal., July 15, 1909.

Mebane, of the State Normal Schooi, of Franktort, Ky., and to the mechanical’ so- clety by Prof.’J. H. Green, of the Willis- ton’ Graded ‘School, Wilmington, N.C. Both of these graduates received the de- gree of Master of Science at this time. On this qocasion also it was, possible: te that the A. and M. College had the good will and Kindly, sympathetic interest of the best white people of the South, Mr. Poe, the editor of the Progressive Farm- er of Raleigh, delivered the commence- ment address, which he termed “The Mes- Suge of the White South to the Colored Race," and in which he showed how earn estly’ the best element in the white South was in favor of Negro education. But aside from the exhibition of practical work in the shape of garden plots, which were the theses of the graduating class, a strong racial note was struck in the Grama composed by the versatile and ac- complished wife of President J.B. Dud- Tey, and rendered at the close of the week by ‘the student body, in which the lesson Of responsibility to the race, the family, the school and the state of North Caro- lina were enforced in a vivid and artistic manner. A ‘But hiardly had the last set of students left for home when the doors were thrown open to the county teachers in or- der that they also might enjoy the im. mense advantages offered by the state at the A. and M. College in the summer school. “Courses were offered in cook- ing and sewing, basketry, primary work, arithmetic, Engiish, physiology, ete.; and ho one who earnestly desired mental im- provement and better preparation for teaching 1 nthe primary grades could fall to derive benefit from these courses, In addition to the work done under the di- fection of the regular instructors special- ists In education delivered inspiring lec- tures, showing the dignity and honor at- tached to the teacher's profession. ‘The A. and M. College, therefore, looks after’ the ‘education of the whole "Negro Citizenship, from the child inthe pri- mary grades to the finished mechante and prosperous farmer, It was at this school In the early part of the year that the Negro farmers of Norta Carolina met to draw. inspiration for improvements in their methods, for stating their difficulties and. deriving help for overcoming the Same from its agricultural department and from experts sent especially for this farmers’ institute by the state department in Raleigh. Its graduates are spread- ing its principles and teachings in their commtunities, and doing this in the, sprit © the mottoes 0 the class of 1909—"Serv- fee, Our Mission”; and that of the class of 1910—"Deeds, hot Words. In short, there is no other school in the whole of North Carolina which touches the life of the colored race at more points than the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Grosnaharc. A SUCCESSFUL SESSION. State Business League Meets at Mound Bayou, Miss. MOUND BAYOU, Miss., June 28, 1910. <Full_ of enthusidsm and representing the business and professional. brain of the state, one, thousand Negroes met here June 211928 to ‘celebrate the sixth an. hual session of the.

Perhaps no state in the Union could assemble so much Negro capital, either through individuals or in the agregate, ag came together at Mound Bayou during these three dave, ‘There was Mound Ba- you, worth itself a cool million at least. There was Dr. 5. P. Jones, Grand Master of the Order of Odd Fellows, representing two million dollars worth of resources ; John Strauther, the sixty thousand dollar banker of Greenville; C. W. Gilliam, the forty thousand dollar grocer of Okolona ; WW. L. Mitehell, the Columbus banker,—in short, bankers) business and professional men. ‘whose capital exceeded five. millions of dollars, assembled here in this little Negro town for three days. ‘And What more suitable place for Ne- gro wealth to manifest, itself than at Sfound Bayou? "The delegates went to and fro under the shadow of a one hun- dred thousand dollar oil mill, designed by Negroes, constructed and how nearing completion by. the hands of Negroes and Supported by Negro capital. ‘They lodged ‘and feasted in Negro homes whose value Bauer thom one thoussad 65) five Aton sand dollars each; bought what dry goods they needed from’ Negro merchants; rode in Negro carriages, ate in Negro hotels, drank their soda water from the bottles of a Negro bottling firm; bought their tickets from a Negro ticket agent; cashed their checks at a Negro bank, and went and came in perfect security’ under. the rule of a Negro mayor and a Negro marshal. Surely nothing was more thrilling than all this; and race consciousness, race con- fidence,’ struck a new note, many keys Righer’ in the scale, For onee in thelr lives, as many delegates expressed it, they felt ‘that they were welcome, truly welcome, to the city they had entered, Finding’ themselves. thus “welcome the dolegates’ removed. thelr coats and got down to actual work.

Speaking of Mississippi's service to the National ‘League, he sald: “We are proud of Mississippi." From the beginning. it has been one of the strongest links in the chain of local and state Negro. Business ‘Leagues which give the parent organiza- ‘tion strength and potentiality; it~ has Walked in the vanguard and never brought up the lagging rear; it has, through its strong men, nurtured the young giant we all so affectionately loye—the ‘National Negro Business League.” After sketching the early history of the National League, the speaker pro- ceeded to outline the’ policies that stim- ulate the parent organization and keep it alive, | "The Negro problem, as it is calied,”" he continued, “is one’ of those probléms destined to ‘be solved in detail, that is, by each individual man and woman ‘of the race striving to make him- self or herself indisputably an instance of success. “The funetion, the purpose, of the Na- tlonal Negro Business League is to bring together these individual. instances of success, to induce them to tell, for. the encourdgement of others, of thelr success, and how they have done it.

He said: "I ‘have attended several of the meetings of the National Negro Business League. ‘These gatherings remind me of a great experl- fence meeting, a Kind of apotheosis of the old-time’ camp meeting.” Its chief work during the years of its existence, Htscoms to, me, has been to gather and put in circulation the stories of individual Successes, and what is most Important, is that, in the main, these stories deal with the "so-called common man and. woman ‘whose instinct led them to seek essential ‘things and in so doing to lay a founda- tion for the progress of the race In thrift, industry and honest achievement. Our meetings bring together each year the largest body of Negroes actually succeed- ing, actually doing things, than come to- gether anywhere in the United States. ‘Our men and women represent, in the main, the achievement of the race. “The Business League, as strong and yirlle an organization as it is, does not feel that cll the problems of the race are committed to its care for solution. — It realizes that there is work for other or- ganizations to do, and has not in the past, as it will not in the future, give up much Of its’ time tothe discussion of those ‘which may be referred to as social ques- tions, ‘Yet it has nevertheless dealt with, at considerable length, those that con- gern, the underlying foundations of the face's existence: the servant girl prob Jem, the loss of the Negro in the gainful occupations, the death rate, and others, at various times, have engaged our atten tion.” What this organization ‘means to the "masses of the race cannot be com- puted. “Tt has taken the man of meager am- bition and transformed him into an am- bitious creature, anxious to accomplish as much as. some other whom he has Met, or heard, at one of the annual meetings. ‘We’ have developed ‘a, consid- erable “body of exceedingly. interesting 4nd valuable information, useful alike in spurring us all to greater achievement, and as proving to our white friends that we quite readily have taken up the tasks: of civilization and improved some of. the.
