SPEAKING TO THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 11.—Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion of the world, the heavyweight champion of several days, edited to the city to transact some business. From conversation with his personal friend Mr. Johnson seems to have almost given up having another battle with his home and stairs since there has been so much criticism about the Reno. What he is most interested in now is "buying property." Speaking of fighting he said: "The successful attempts which have been made in this country to kill horse racing will eventually kill prize fighting, Johnson said, in speaking of the fight game. "The same might be said of footwear," he said, "and it has changed to such an extent that it is not the same kind of a game it used to be. They killed horse racing in this city and state and they have put a quietus on it in California. The decision to end to fighting in California, a state which has become the world over because of the important battles fought there. "Of course, they allow six and ten round fights in certain states, but these championship in the different classes never can bump on the result of these short battles and the time is sure to come when the big fights of twenty rounds or more will have to be decided in either Australia." Packey McFarland, the stockyards lightweight, will leave for the east on Thursday to sign up for some fight in New York. He will attend Philadelphia the latter part of the month. On Monday afternoon Jack Johnson held a long conversation with "Bob" Motts, a longtime Fakir and Saturday he attended Tory Brown Memorial and also saw the first part of the "Down in Dixie" miniseries, which is playing at the Theater. It is also that Johnson has $200,000 in cash and much of this he is investing in property. It is reported that he has purchased three flats in city, together with some valuable property in the east. While it is not clear how looking after the wants and desires of his mother, Mr. Johnson is seeing that mother and relatives are cared for in the city. He will comment from all classes of people. Mr. Johnson has a family automobile and it is one of the handsomest seen in the city. Charles Johnson, one of the brothers of Jack, was accidentally hurt last week by a car and is under the medical attention of De Dan Williams. The girls of Kentucky have fairly cleaned up" since their stay here. There has not been a night at which time these visitors have not been entertained and entertained royally. Charming, agreeable, caustant and vivacious, they have been the most entertaining parties, outfitting dinners than any other set that has visit'd this city. One of the most beautiful days of the summer season was a lawn party, even on Monday night by Mr. and Mrs. Ruth Schaefer, 4221 Oakenwald avenue, in honor of her husband and Miss Georgia Lattimore, of Louisville. In the center of the beautiful lawn at the Schafer home stood a tall pole, two feet in the air, beautifully decorated with red, white and blue colors and incandescent lights. Dropping from this pole were electric bulbs and all around the yard were numerous Japanese lanters. Surrounding the yard were canes and canes of varying colors. THE OLD MASTERS FINAL COUNT.

It was left for the state of Kentucky to have Armount's Band, colored, known as the Elks Band, to march in front of the Kentuckians.

JOE GANS MEETS THE INVICIBLE BALTIMORE, Md., August 10.—The "Old Master" has taken the final count. "My next fight was twenty-five rounds and the purse was $8. Then I began picking up the fight, boxing, boxing, boxing, and earned outward and exhibitions and earning a few dollars here and there. I took it all home to my mother, and I took it all home to my father, and I told her I would a shooting cart. But she thought I was stealing it, so I had to take my uncle one night to see me fight. My mother tried to make me stop, but I loved her. I didn't have days I didn't have much of a punch, but I was awfully fast, and I could jab with my mother's great shape. I didn't know I had a right. His Early Fights. One of Gans' early fights was with the "Kentucky Rosebud," who had just knocked out George Dixon. Gans beat him in six games, and he was the only player, career, which took him to the top. Gans first chance for the championship came in his fight with Frank Erne, in New York, on March 23, 1900. Erne won in the twelfth game, and he was the only blinded when Erne "butted" him. He was unable to get another fight with the champion until May 12, 1902, when they met at Ft. Erle, Canada. Gans won in 1 minute and Gans had things all his own way as the lightweight champion until July 4, 1908. His first fight with Nelson had taken place in September, 1906, at Goldfield, Nel. Wisconsin, where he drew, while Gans got but $11,000, though the house drew $67,151, up to that time the largest gate receipts ever taken in at a ring contest. Not only did Gans agree to give the fight to Nelson, but Nelson forced Gans to weigh in twice. Gans won in the forty-second round, in one of the most grueling fights ever seen in the American prize ring. After that fight he defeated John McCain, George Memalc, Spike Sullivan and Ruddy Unhloz. Was His Fatal Move. In the meantime Nelson was clozing for a return match. He and Gans met on July 4, 1908. "It was my 'fatal move,' said Gans. "I went to the two rooms in the seventh floor on September 8, 1908, we clashed for the ball. We valiant struggle to wrest back the lash I had on my face." 1900— Rnds. Feb. 9, Spike Sullivan.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-The Forty-third Annual Communication of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Kentucky, convened at Georgetown, Kentucky, and 6. The attendance of delegates and friends of the order was very large, and this fact alone tends to show that the order is growing very rapidly in the State. One of the factors is that the order is that a majority of its new members and young men. The trouble with the most of our fraternal and benevolent organizations is that the men that have ruled and reigned for years are not able to dull the sharpest of brains. With young men and new brains entering the subordinate lodges the outlook is bright, they should not be held back, as the future of the lodge depends upon the young men. The relief or insurance department of the order, the best and most praiseworthy of any army, is much good among the widows and orphans.

He claims that he stayed at home until eight years of age, when he was born to work or his Father, God in heaven. For the first eight years he has been preaching, teaching and healing around Lexington, Ky. In his wild and ghostly talk to the most ignorant of the people of his work in a very short time, and by that as soon as he has struck terror to their hearts, and they are neglecting their work to fast and to pay the police to take some kind of action against such persons as this man and his companion. --- Mr. Alonzo Lewis, a colored man living at 533 S. 12th street, was found dead in bed late last night. He was fifty-four years old and was depicted as a helper at Abrens & Ott's foundation. He was a very honest and industrious man, and was liked and respected by his employees and all of his friends.

MAJORS OF CHICAGO HURLS SOME PHILOSOPHY AT THE WHITE RACE. Is that only right which is favorable to the white man's vanity? Is that only right which is unfavorable to the Negro's ambition? Are these the tidings proclaimed by our civilization? Some years ago a Negro was accused of committing an awful crime in Paris, Texas (he was not tried). The camera was focussed upon the conduct of white people burning this Negro alive and chopping off slices of his cooked besh for relics, and these pictures were displayed on the canvas throughout the civilized world to create in the human mind the awful visitation of the wrath of civilization. The punishment, swift and certain, as a warning to fiends who would commit such crimes as the Negro Smith was accused of committing. Why did our Christian organizations and civil institutions pay fabulous prices to see so ghastly a sight as the scene produced? Then later ever and anon there were illustrations in the leading daily papers of lynching Negroes, and big scare headlines telling of "big, burly black brutes," etc. And finally came "The Clansman" and "The Leopard's Spots" and lastly "The Nigger" shows, whose performances were not only disgraceful, but capable only to produce race hatred and intense race prejudice to fever heat, as well as to demoralize the public peace; and against these our great religious and civic organizations and newspapers have been perversely dumb and only until very recently has public sentiment been aroused over the "awful" white slave traffic which seems wellnigh to have girdled the earth with its foul infamy and debauchery. Pugilists have met in many arenas to decide individual mastery. However brutal the game has been, the color line has been offset by the ability of one man pitted against another man. Fighters seem to have recognized the brotherhood of mankind in the manhood of the fistic ring, and those who have the money have perpetuated the game. When Joe Gans lost his title to Battling Nelson the moving pictures did not seem to create any race antagonism, nor when Nelson lost the title to Wolgast the moving pictures did not prove demoralizing nor tend to portray the infamy of the game. Now, when Johnson knocked out a Canadian white man in Australia, the moving pictures intensified no race feeling; nor when he whipped Ketchell and Kauffmann. The great civilization of this country paid out thousands of dollars without a murmur or complaint to see the pictures of these physical encounters. Now the world has seen a great light; it discovers that the hope of the white race is hidden in the loins of one Mr. James J. Jeffries and it wagers millions that he will nearly kill one of the members of a greatly despised but hustling race. Both men are equally matched, having physical and mental poise for the great event. The day and hour appointed arrives. The rest is too well known. The thing which the white man failed to do makes the whole thing appear to be a ghastly wrong. The thing which the black man did makes him unpopular, and here is food for a world of thought. Why should the moving pictures demoralize society at this late day? If the fight had ended as disastrously to Johnson as it did to Jeffries, would there have been any agitation against the moving pictures? Is the great white race that has harnessed the oceans, geared up the vast forces of electricity, tunneled under rivers, conquered nations, poured its millions into heathen lands, brought the great touch of civilization up to this day from the teachings of Jesus Christ and planted the gospel of the Golden Rule wherever language is a synonym of progress, afraid to applaud the triumph of a single Negro? The Negro race makes good citizens as well as good soldiers. He has shown his valor upon every American battlefield, and in slavery days when his master marched bravely to battle against the aggression of the North, he stood guard at his mistress' chamber door, provided food for those left to his care with such honorable vigilance that as Henry W. Grady says, "The confidence between master and slave stood disclosed and his noble conduct gave a new meaning to faith and loyalty." The white race has not descended to a race of prize fighters, and the Negro has not a characteristic trait of prize fighting. If now and then one occasionally beats his way into the limelight. Moving pictures of nude women doing the Salome dance, moving pictures of train robbers, moving pictures of robbing banks, and various scenes of hold ups do not arouse the decent lovers of propriety as the pitiful and degrading scene of two brutes in human form beating each other about the prize ring for money. Why don't our public sentiment become aroused in the right place and keep women out of wine rooms, and sentence the confirmed criminals who take life very cheaply, to prison for life instead of giving them two to three years' rest in some institution where they study the art of criminality by comparing notes and exchanging experiences? Race prejudice should not only not be encouraged; it should not be tolerated in this free land of ours. What good did it ever do any community? The great spirit of the great white race now in its zenith should teach forbearance, charity and love. When it fails to use such a mantel it has sounded a death knell to law and order, and tends toward anarchy. There is much reason to feel that those who cherish very much sincerity for the good of the unborn, are acting too suddenly this very sober drama which makes for them a sad scene. On the other hand, we are inclined to believe that, had Jeffries knocked out Johnson, the Negro would be now suffering from intimidation and bluff from the bluster of the low element of the white race, who are following their chief occupation only when they are venting their contemptibleness on the Negro.

OMAHA, Neb.—Two weeks ago the Western Bureau gave a brief survey of what some of the colored people are doing in Omaha. It purposes in this article to speak of that class which, perhaps, does more for the race than any other, the artisans. In addition to these, it shall also set down something about the men and women who are holding positions of trust and responsibility within the civil service and out of it. There are a number of colored men here who are engaged in their callings in an independent way. They are: Messrs. J. W. Alexander, Louis Spady, H. O. Woods, A. McQuater, plasterers; Frank Peoples and G. L. Lee, carpenters; and Essex Williams, contractor; and W. J. Johnson & Son, painters and paper hangers. The men herein named are all making creditable headway in their callings and their work is of the highest order. Not only is this true of them, but they are solid citizens. For the most part they are buying their homes and each man gives his sum to the betterment of the city in which he lives. They are the backbone of the churches and organization with which they affiliate, and thus render conspicuous service to the community. W. J. Johnson has charge of a large club here which he has made the basis of a Y. M. C. A. In this way he has contributed very largely to the betterment of our race life. In his endeavor he has the staunch support of all the better thinking people of the city. Omaha has four colored men in the postal service here. They are: Messrs. E. S. Clenlans, J. C. Parker, Reuben W. Freeman and H. W. Black. Mr. Clenlans has been employed here for twenty-five years as a clerk, and his record is excellent. J. C. Parker, a graduate of Oberlin College, has worked in the mail service here as a carrier for nineteen years. His contribution to the cause of racial uplift has been very marked through his splendid church work and his record in the postal service. Mr. Freeman is noted for his piety and proficiency. H. W. Black has* had a varied career as bootleg, newsboy, fireman, railroad porter, soap mixer, now mail carrier of the vrst class and owner of a beautiful home and is the head of a lovely family. His struggle is that of tens of thousands of black boys from the lowly hut and abject poverty to a place of respectability and promise. He came the same way of nearly all the rest, through hardships, the night school, the discouragements of the black world to a decent living and a home. What he has done was true of the colored men who have worked with him through the years that have come and gone. Where they work negrophobia sometimes draws her ugly, shambling form from the dark walls of her hiding place, and stalks abroad unmasked. Yet they press on. J. Merchant, an analytical chemist in the pure food laboratory here, is a genius. Small of stature, but big of soul and mind, he has proved that the Negro is just as proficient in the very difficult branches of applied science as men of any race. He has won the confidence and respect of the men for whom and with whom he works, and stands as one of the best equipped analysts in the pure food department of the government. M. L. Singleton, the custodian of the buildings of the Cudahy Packing Co., has had a very remarkable career. For a number of years he held a position here as storekeeper and gauger in the revenue service, and was wise enough to save what he made. He now has a competency and in the esteem of the owner of the Cudahy packing plant he stands second to none. He was several times a candidate for the State legislature from this district and failed of election by only a few votes. He has reared a good family of children and is the highest type of representative citizen. Guy Singleton, the son of the father to whom we have referred, is now a storekeeper and gauger in the revenue service, where he has duplicated the work of his father up to this time. Among the other custodians of the larger buildings here are G. W. Hibbler, Jasper Brown and several other men who hold similar positions. They are doing well in the community life. * * * Leon Smallwood is a messenger for one of the biggest banks in the West, where he is trusted in every way. He is a Washington boy, and has come West and made good. He has a good home, which he has procured through dint of hard work and sensible sacrifice, and his family is one of growth, happiness and promise. * * * There are two colored messengers in the headquarters of the Department of the Army of the Missouri here. They are Warren Brooks and Christopher Fox. Omaha boasts a colored fire company, one of the best companies in the city, and her three policemen are among the best on the force. They are making a record for themselves and the race. John Smith, who is a clerk in the office of the county assessor, is all right, and Rufus Long, who has a clerkship in the office of the clerk of the district court, under one of the fairest men of the white race, Mr. Robert Smith, is doing well. The office of scale inspector of the city of Omaha is filled by a curbstone politician, who is a distinct discredit to the better elements of the race. He is a Negro. * * * C. C. Cochran is one of the shipping clerks for the biggest jobbing firm in this city. He has been with the company for many years and has made an excellent record. But Omaha is not without race prejudice. This monster stalks abroad by day and by night and enters every walk of life. It is now impossible for a colored man to rent a decent office in a decent building unless he pays a rent equal to the rent a white man would pay and as much more because he is black. She has her opportunities, but the skeleton of race hate will not rest. Every month it increases, and it is so rank that it shows itself in a bank account. It has come to the place where a dollar owned by a receive the same chance which a white black man in the bank is not as good man receives. Black men of America, as one owned by a white man in the you who vote and make the laws, this bank. The black man does not re is the awful truth. Sister Woman!

He served with the War Department, No. 124, issued by the War Department under date of May 27, tells the story in brief: "The President, First Lieutenant David J. Gilmer, Philippine Scouts, having been found professionally disqualified for promotion to the grade of captain by an examining board, was recommended by said board, and by the commanding general. Philippine Division, is honorably discharged from the service, to take effect May 29, This is a rather queer ending of a case that has attracted no small degree of attention in recent months, both at the public at large. So the Department and the public at large. Some will be recalled. Lieut. Gilmer was accused of some infraction of the military having beenOUNDguilty by a court-martial he was recommended dismissal from the army. An appeal to the Secretary of War resulted in a mitigation of his sentence to a reduction of the prison term. The case was then carried to President Taft, who, after carefully reviewing it, decided that a reduction of fifteen numbers was sufficient punishment for the offender. He also noted that the leniency of the President resulted from the friendly activities of Dr. Booker T. Washington, Judge Robbins, and others, who pointed out Lieut. Gilmer's excellent record as a soldier and urged that he be given a chance to redeem himself from any possible error of judgment. The particulars in this latest phase of the situation, culminating in the honorable discharge of Lieut. are not available at this time. The wife of the officer came out upon his return to the States. Lieut. Gilmer entered the Third North Carolina Volunteers at the beginning of the war, and was mustered American for the close of hostilities he served for a period as a clerk in the office of the Recorder of Deeds in the Army, and served as the army as a second lieutenant of the Philippine Scouts, rising later to the first lieutenancy. He was regarded as a capable officer and his record prior to the present difficulty was without a flaw.

SATURDAY, AUG. 13, 1910. Be a "blazer of the way." Will "Teddy" come back? The best test of a plan is what it brings to pass. Is William Jennings Bryan really on the toboggan? The successful man reads the Book of Life in the original. Keep your eye on Nicholas Longworth. He is a rising man. The new Tompkins Hall dining room at Tuskegee Institute is a "daisy." Beware of the Negro who has no good word to say for Negro enterprises. In the world of sport, as well as in the world of politics, Johnson is "a grand old name." Will it be E. H. Morris, E. P. Jones or J. C. Asbury for Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F.? Does the Negro race want the semi-centennial exposition? If so, why doesn't some one in authority say so? Mr. L. M. Hershaw, of the Washington Horizon, is not yet satisfied about the ownership of the New York Age. The National Negro Press Association is managing to get along without the support of the "bonehead" editor of the Washington Bee. The Baltimore Times suggests "I'm Going Back, Back, Back to Baltimore," as a fitting song for the retiring Minister Ernest Lyon, of Liberia. That "press dinner" at Washington is a bright idea. Why may not the press in each of our great cities imitate the Nation's capital and have a "press dinner?" Newspaper managers who wish to know something about how to get advertising and hold it, are respectfully referred to Editor Thomas Kennedy, of the Zanesville (O.) Advocate. Perhaps Editor J. H. Murphy can give us something of an inside nature concerning the generosity of Maryland in providing a $100,000 hospital for the insane Negroes of that State. It is reported that Roscoe Conkling Simmons, late Grand Chancellor of the New York Knights of Pythias, was triumphantly vindicated at the recent session of the Grand Lodge, held in Utica, Bully for Roscoe! The selection of Bishop Henry M. Turner, the "old Roman," as the successor to Bishop Lampton as the presiding episcopate of the Mississippi and Louisiana Conferences, was a wise one. The eminent Georgian is a religious "live wire." In the passing of Dr. N. C. Brackett, for many years president of Storer College, Harper's Ferry, Negro education has suffered a severe loss. He was one of the "Old Guard," whose ranks are rapidly thinning. Jim Corbett says he will never rest until he develops a white man who can lick Jack Johnson and restore the championship to the Caucasian race. Jim is going to get mighty tired before his resting period sets in. The Washington Bee is again making itself ridiculous by attempting to pose as the mouthpiece of Dr. Booker T. Washington. Indeed, the "Tuskegee Wizard" needs to pray to be delivered from his bumpious "friend" at the Nation's capital. Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the new Recorder of Deeds, has got the fellows guessing at Washington. They cannot tell where he is "at." There is no doubt that his hand will be shown very effectively at the psychological moment. The "group system" is being ably worked out in the growing membership of the National Negro Business League. With its bankers, press, undertakers and bar associations as auxiliaries, it is widening its sphere of usefulness at a rapid rate. Every doctor, dentist and pharmacist worth while will take in the meeting of the National Medical Association in Washington, August 23 to 26. The capital city will outdo itself in extending the "glad hand" to the useful men and women who will become its guests on this occasion. Whitefield McKinlay, the new Collector of Customs for the port of Georgetown, will be confirmed. Nobody is fighting him save one or two soreheads who have neither character nor influence. McKinlay is fortunate in the kind of enemies he has made. Their opposition is his best recommendation. The National Negro Business League will break all records as to attendance this year. The speech of Teddy Roosevelt alone will be worth traveling across the continent to hear. Of course, the press gang, the bankers the undertakers and the bar will have their interesting powwows on the side. All roads lead to New York this month. The meeting of the National Medical Association at Washington will be a liberal education to the men of medical science. A sight of the magnificent $750,000 Freedmen's Hospital alone is worth traveling all the way to Washington, to say nothing of the other 1,001 attractions that the local committee is offering. The chairman, Dr. W. S. Lofton, is a "peach." The frenzied opposition to the pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries fight has subsided. We said at the outset that the fuss would not last long. The American people are too busy to stav "mad" about any one thing for any considerable period. There is no good reason why the pictures should not be displayed. Those who do not care to see a black man whip a white one do not have to do so. Jim Corbett shows up his littleness when he admits that he has a prejudice against Jack Johnson, based upon color. He does not like the idea of a black man holding the heavyweight championship, and purposes to spend the balance of his lifetime trying to find some white fighter who can whip Johnson. If Corbett were a real man, he would not refuse to give due credit to a ring general who has won his spurs through sheer science and grit. Real men are never narrow J. C. Gilmer, editor of the Advocate, Charleston, W. Va., led a masterly fight against the renomination of Congressman Joe Gaines, and came within an ace of putting him out of business. The West Virginia colored voters will get him next time he comes before the primaries, if they do not "get him" this fall at the polls. This is a good year to knock out the congressional "four-flushers." The Tuskegee Messenger tells of a colored woman in Macon county, Alabama, who raised 137 spring chickens this year, has 35 dozen eggs to be hatched, sold $8 worth of eggs and $3 worth of chickens, gave six chickens to the sick, has five acres of knee-high cotton, two acres of corn and one acre of peas. She does all of her farm work herself except the plowing, cares for her two cows, does her own housework and makes 75 cents each week washing, and has enough spare time to lead in the church and entertain a large host of friends who visit her frequently. Her name is Mrs. Irene Smith, an dhives live at Zion Hill, Ala. The Freeman is in hearty sympathy with the National Negro Press Association, headed by Mr. R. W. Thompson. The organization is a good thing and can be made a better one, if the fraternity goes ahead and assists in bringing to a fruition the plans that have been so carefully and thoughtfully marked out. As far as we can see, the press is more united on the proposition to-day that it has been in the past two decades, and the outlook for the New York convention is bright. We hope every editor, correspondent and publisher in the land will make it a point to be in New York on the 16th and lend a hand in helping Negro journalism to come into its own. DALLAS, TEX.

Second game: "Chick" Fraser opposed Wickarey. In this game Capt. Pet Hill and Duncan smashed out home runs, the Leland winning by a score of 3 to 2. The Logan Squares loaded up for the Leland Giants by securing McNichols and "Chick" Fraser, the ex-big Cub, both now of the West Ends, the City League leaders. The Leland Giants and the West Ends play at Dodgenville, Wis., Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. "Rube" says he will "bring the bacon home." The Chicago Giants should have won the game on Sunday against the West Ends. After having the game on the ice in the second inning, they began to toss the ball around, and the West Ends piled up four of the game ending 4 to 2 for the white boys. Although the Stars of Cuba delayed the game almost three years because McAllister's injunction, this made the Leland Giants hustle all the more winning by a score of 8 to 6. *Contains* 236 pages New Testament, Illustrated *Whirl* is inder.

It will resemble the scene on Tuesday's week, when the Knight Templars turned out. The Loaand Giants pulled off a play that is seldom seen in semi-pro baseball park. With Booker in on second and Petway at the bat, he laid down bunt, but being hit a little too hard, it straight to the pitcher, who fired it home, but in the middle he stopped the ball, and before he could recover it again. Payne, by fast base running, scored from second, although the ball was not over five feet behind the catcher. Baseball players and fans all over the country read with regret the sad disappearance of Hans Wagner. Ray was styled the colored Hans Wagner. Ray was time was the king of first basemen, one time with Handon's Baltimore League team, and lately has been manager of the Philadelphia Giants. Every indication is that August 15 will be the biggest day that the colored people be the biggest fan that neglected for some time. Tickets are going fast for the great game, and more prominent people are, and their support. Jimmy Smith, Dave Wayn, Brown, the barber, and The Freeman sporting writer, of this city, have purchased a box. Bobby Winston showed his good eye on late Sunday by finding "Chick" Fraser, the ex-teaguer. Winston polled out four hits off Fraser. * * * * Winston and Pettus made two-base hits off the West Ends. These two never fail to do good work, win or lose. Johnson, Pettus and Wallace made double plays in the game Sunday against the West End. * * * * The Cubans made it so hot for "Rube" on last Sunday that it made the famous pitcher dish out some of his Cuban language. * * * * At the rate Bob Marshall, the goobers' first baseman, is going this season, he will be the premier first sacker next season. * * * * Everybody is getting ready to attend the game for the benefit of the Providence Hospital, August 18. As stated in the last week issue of The Freeman, it is expected to be the best attended game of the season. Box seats are on sale at the office of the Providence Hospital, by Mr. Alfred Anderson, the secretary. "Dad" Johnson, the grand old man pulled off a stunt in Sunday's game that was a hummer. He slipped and fell flat on his back, and was unable to get up, while the runner scored and the batsman gained first with ease. * * * * * Frank Leland and Major R. R. Jackson say they have even played that they will be in first place at the close of the season. * * * * * The runner, a Leland fan and a Freeman subscriber, followed the Leland Giants to Fenimore and cashed in on the colored champions.

The Billy Henderson's "Tennessee Troubadours" is the "hit of the twentieth century and the town talk of Mobile. With its music as Beulah Henderson, Alma Hughes, the Musset, the Massot," Billy Mills, Mose Graham, White and that ever popular "Shadow," the show is unexcelled in this vinty. Beulah Henderson as a "con shouter," of being the greatest that has ever set the soil of Mobile county. She is at present singing such great successes as The Grizzly and other great hits. Also Miss Alma Hughes. That Tantalizing Kid, one of Louisiana's subtreates, singing that storming success, is the grit and that "feasting lag," which is a scream and that knowledge fact that the Billy Henderson's Tennessee Troubadours is the best that has a record in this section.

SHOP NEWS GATHERED ALONG THE STROLL—MISS ABBIE MITCHELL TO WED. The act is a novelty. Miss Harris is suspended in mid-air in a balloon and moves around the theater in darkness with her hands up. She is dressed during the suspension she sings several catchy songs. It is regarded as one of the big acts in vaudeville and the securing of this number is evidence of Mr. Motts desire to give his patrons the best in the "Dude" Kelly and Amon Davis, the well-known dancing comedians, were a "scream." For twenty-five minutes these two young men kept the house in a conspicuous spot, and they been at The Pekin before, but on this occasion they gave out some new "stuff" that was well saturated with humor. It was their pleasant effort to keep one of the comedians off the stage got off a joke. Kelly is a clever straight man and was at one time with S. H. Dudley, Davis, the low comedian, is funny and his "make-up" with his comical accents is uneven and his sing voice and the clorus of "Kaffle" These two comedians have been together for the past six years and their success in the vaudeville field has been rapid. They began work in San Francisco with the Orchestra and will soon play on the Orchestra time. Jackson and Margurite were two entertainers that received a warm reception. Wonder How the Old Fokks Are at Home? How the Old Fokks Are at Home? Shines Bright in My Old Kentucky Home" was the other that was sung in a log-cabin room. They made a hit by singing "My Southern Rose." Joe Simms was the single comedian of the evening. He sang "Makes Me Think of You" first time and "Why Shines Good humor on "women," and his lines were exceedingly sprightly. The last of the week he will sing his new song, "Aint Nothing Doing What You Are Thinking About." Das and Quintaraw did some good work standing on a globe, the most of it being juggling. A set of new pictures and good music was a part of the bill. Monogram. The Monogram has a very heavy bill this week. Miss Mitchell is the head liner, and her friends, the clever people, are drawing crowds and making them laugh. Brooks is singing and making them laugh. Lewis is singing and making them laugh.

A couple of colored people furnish comedy of the 'coon' brand. When the sextet is working with the music instruments, they furnish entertainment in excellent and round rounds of applause.

Webber's Theater in Chicago Scene of Splendor at the Initial Performance—Jack Johnson and Party Occupy a Box. The opening performance ran as smoothly as first performances usually go, and the few rough places were gone over without any serious hitches. The introductory end of the performance received, paving the way for a warm reception for Manzie Campbell and "Chicken" Jones who, as a second contingency of funmakers, were introduced with much emphasis by J. C. Boone, the interlocutor Mr. Jones, who was a long-time locator of ability and forceful expression, in his neat little speech hearding the entree of the peeless and one "Alabama Blossom". John Rucker. His entrance was the signal for almost deafening applause, and all were well received. A knockout right of the reel. Many clever songs, among them some corking good ballads, were offered during the first part, and all were well received. "Only a Broken Owl Powers, perhaps carried off the ballad honors, while the comic songs, "Mina" and "Barbershop Cord", rendered by Manzie Campbell and "Chicken" Jones, respectively, in the order named, were big individual hits, and has the making of a classy comedian. Of course, Rucker was the one big noise as the feature in the ollo offerings. His monologue was excruciatingly funny, sparkling. Rucker knows how to "put over." Each verse of his song, "Why Don't it Rain on Me," was an ovation. It was new to the audience, and something awful. Mr. Rucker has been provided with a splendid after-piece called "The United Brothers of Possum Catchers," of Uller and Lyles the well-known authors of the song. Pekin Stock Co. on a long run a few years back, and also the "Oyster Man" and other well-known successes. Some of the situations he has handled are many opportunities to display his ability as a comedian second to none in the business. In this sketch the comedian "shoots over" another screening song hit, "The Sun Do You Know?" and he takes action during the farce, and some clever song ensembles and dances are introduced. The costumes used in this skit are varied and sufficient in quantity, both male and female. This statement is made purely as a matter of fact, that the public may have an idea of the extent to which the management has worked. A musical number by Will H. Vodrey, "From Natchez to New Orleans on the Mississippi," was a distinct novelty. From the piece to the scene, a grandure the piece is a revelation, and much if its equal as an ollo number in a minstrel show will ever be seen again. In this act the big steamboat "Natchez" is inundated, lending a realism strong and convincing. Marsh Craig is with the show and, therefore, I need not dwell farther on the subject. I am not sure what to see are seen in a good musical and talk act that pleases. John Pampin, billed as "The Demon of the Tropics" was a new quantity about ten minutes duration. The "set-away" about ten minutes duration. The "set-away" specially designed, dining table high with the air on a long pole, got considerable hands. The parade is one of the stand-out fea- tures of the organization. It is richly dressed. Long, black Prince Albert coats, light pink trousers, silk hats, gloves and with a white collar, colored banners, make up the paraphernalia. The band is under the direction of Harry St. Clair. He is a musician of ability and knowledge, who know him before the season closes. As a teacher, he one wise to look shy. Atrus Hughes has the directorship of the orchestra. He is a young composer and I present a brilliant future for him. Atrus Hughes by my old friend Jerry Mills—enough said. "Jeremiah" knows the game—that all. Mr. H. D. Collins eta eto eta eto eta etanolon Al D. H. Coltens, advance representative, are pleasant and affable gentlemen.

She was more happy than otherwise, but she did not fail to make it known’ that the “moon was bleeding.” You know Billy sent several letters over from Brussels, Belgium, wherein he re- flected on his wife’s character.

I am confident that I can stay with him," were the further remarks of his coach, who no evidence thinks he is a matron for him. CHAMPION FAILS TO SHOW UP. BOSTON, Mass — Jack Johnson failed to show up in this city last week, accorded a visit to considerable esteem, and was much disappointed at the turn of the affair. Johnson sent a note stating that it was impossible for him to come to Boston. Johnson said he was going to Atlantic City to spend a week with the view of refreshing himself. Bob Armstrong Receives Big Reception on the Stage. Special to THE FREEMAN TO THE FREEMAN. NEW YORK, August 12.—Sam Langford, the one great fighter and challenger of Chance Johnson, is now pairing in a closing show on roof of Hammerskeip's Victoria Theater. According to what the managers are saying, $3.50 RECIPE CURES WEAK MEN---FREE BEND 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 drains, brought on by excesses, unnatural strains, the follies of youth, that has cured so many warm and nervous men right in their own homes—without any national help or medicine—that I think everyone who wishes to regain his many power and vitality, and purity should have a copy. So I have determined 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 who convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor. I think I owe it to my fellow mun to send them a copy in confidence, so that and then anywhere who is weak and discontented, or repeated failures may stop drugging him or harmful patient medicines, secure what harmful patient sick-acting restorative, upbuilding, STOUCHING remedy ever devised, and cure himself at home quietly and quickly, drop him or nurse like this, Dr. A. E. Ibbott, nurse 1831 Larkin, Mich., Mich., and I will send you a copy of the spendled recipe in a plain ordinary envelopes of free charge. A great many doctors were charged $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing my description like this—but I send it entirely free. SAM LANGFORD. BY HAROLD C. McGATH. it doesn't look as though the fighter is going to prove a big attraction in New York. Only fair business prevailed Monday over the victoria, not promising much for the remembrance week. The performance he gives lacks the interest that even some of these kindies. After punching the bag for a few minutes Langford does these hands with Bob Armstrong, the great traitor who was in Jeffries' training camp, acting as official trainer. It is said that Armstrong received a much better reception than Langford, remark that Langford is too small to have a chance with Johnson was general. LANGFORD MUST BEAT KAUFMAN AND BURNS CHICAGO, August 12—Though Jack Johnson will not actually say so, it now seems certain that he never will give Sam Langford a chance at the real title after he has beaten, and decisively, too, both after he has of San Francisco, and Tommy Burns, of Canada and several other places. Jack never told Sam to go out and best this man or that man, and then having to take the title, Inasmuch as AI Kaufman, the big California heavyweight, was Johnson's sparing partner in the recent doings at Reno, Langford naturally picked him out as an opponent upon whom to start the foundation for the reputation that Johnson insists upon. And, again, as Tommy Burns was the last good man that Johnson fought prior to the fight, the man who made the memoir collapse, the Canadian also is on Langford's list. If he can whip this pair, then he can go before the Senegambian king and murmur another request for a meeting. In the meantime, Langford is going to take on Kaufman in Philadelphia in a six-round affair Wednesday. He simply must whip Kaufman, or there will be such a big guffaw the man with the golden smile that Langford never will hear the last of the echoes. SAY LANGFORD IS REALLY TOO SMALL To Fight a Man Like Champion Jack Johnson. It is now a settled fact that Sam Langford a Jack who the rest称称 opponent of Jack Johnson the Specialist of the East will tell you in a hurry that SAM L. Sam is too small, and he certainly is. A man of the stature of Langford would just take the challenge to a champion. But Nelson would have a Adwolgast, should they ever meet again. Few men of the powers in science and strength combined that Jack Johnson now possesses are born to have that kind of strength that we have had any number of fighters who were equally as good, if not better than Sam Langford. Just to humble Ewes one short speech of David Wootton, Gass and Bicknell rarely does the time come when there are a half dozen fighters of the type of Johnson, who are able to master the situation of the old Jack. The champion's quirk is of the same much so that there is not a man living who is his equal in the prize ring. Before Next Spring, and Has Canceled Passage. Special to THE FREEMAN WY NOLY, AUSTRALIA, JUNE 12.—Jack Johnson, the champion heavyweight fighter of the world, will not go to England, as was the case for his last season, canceled his passage a week ago. He was booked by the Tansig agency for an early departure, having closed the run of three weeks at Hammerstein's Victoria Theater on June 12. M. M. Thiese is understood to have placed Johnson under contract to appear in the final round of the wheel this coming season, along with Thiese's shows. In that case, such cities as Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville and Indianapolis will be the champion of all champions once again. SPORTSMAN SAYS JACK ACCOM PLISHED WHAT OTHERS HAVE FAILED AT. Thinks Jeffries Tempted Fortune Once Too Often. (From the London Sportsman.) The boxing expert of the London Sportsman in his comments has this THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER to say, among other things: "Jeffries has met his Waterloo and in doing so has followed in the path of the once all-powerful men like Peter Jackson, John L. Sullivan, Jim Corbett and the equally famous Bob Fitzsimons. Jeffries held his own at the start by reason of his strength and his boring at close quarters. "All the same, Johnson was never at fault, and superior in speed and footwork and armed at all points, his wonderful defense enabling him to always steer clear of the dangerous blows his heavier opponent endeavored to land. Jeffries may or may not have failed to get back to his old form of ten years ago. All reports again made him at his very best, and, this being so, the colored man must be given credit for a great and many victory. What man like Sharkey, Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Gus Ruhlin utterly failed to do, has been accomplished, not only decisively but, with ease, and the man with the best of it in the matter of height and weight, the man who had never been knocked out or even knocked off his feet, had to bite the dust inside of an hour. "Johnson does not appear to have made much of a running fight of it. He was seldom on the retreat, but proved quick enough and skillful enough to wear down a man, many of whose blows got no further than the glove of his opponent. Jeffries in this way expended his strength and lost the speed he possessed at the start, and, despite his boast of power and astounding stamina, he was finally at the absolute mercy of his opponent. "Although Jeffries as a boxer is, as was Burns at Sydney,a richer man by many thousands, one can but regret that he tempted fortune once too often. Apparently he was beaten at all points, both in defense and attack, and, though his long spell on the shelf must be taken into account, it should not be forgotten that he was NGFORD. little more than three years the senior of his conqueror. If all one heard as to the remarkable condition to which Jeffries had been trained is true, then there is only one conclusion to arrive at, which his that the white man at his very best would have been no match for the Negro. "Johnson put on the finishing touch like a thorough workman, and his power of punishment is in every way equal to his science and skill." WHAT THE JOHNSON JEFFRIES PICTURES MEAN.

No doubt some of our many readers have seen something of the sort elsewhere, but as we have been informed that a greater number of our readers have not had the opportunity of seeing them we make an effort to accommodate such readers. A large number of the white dailies would not publish them because of the outcome of the greatest ring battle ever fought in America was a victorious one for a black man. Recently the sporting writers have been saying that Jeffries was not in good condition when he fought Johnson, but if you will notice the strength he displayed while training (that is shown in one of the pictures) you will have every reason to believe that he was in tiptop shape so far as age would allow. Nature did not intend to allow him to do any more than any THE GUARANTEED EXTERMINATOR Get a box of 2 oz. box 25c; 16 oz. box 81.00. Sold by druggists or sent express prepaid on receipt of price.

However, we hope that you will not be disappointed with our effort to give you a few long-to-be-remembered scenes of the one great battle of the century, and that, when you may have the time to spare, you will take your knife or scissors and cut these out and place them in your scrap book so that when you want to turn to pleasant memories all you will have to do will be to open your book and look upon these scenes. WHY SHOULD THE FIGHT FILMS BE BARRED? Asks the Chicago Tribune of Its Many Readers. The Tribune has received and printed a number of communications calling attention to the ludicrous inconsistency of the newspaper protest against the display of the Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures. The correspondents say that they do not approve of the pictures, but that they are appalled by the journalistic hypocrisy which can devote a year to giving publicity to the preparations for the fight, surrender pages to a detailed account of it, supplement this by printing photographs of its most agonizing moments, and then complacently demand the suppression of the moving pictures. The Tribune comments on this merely to say that it is in full accord with its correspondents and to call their attention to the fact that it has not lifted its voice against the films. It borrows a phrase from numerous letters on the subject, and says that it does not approve of the pictures, but it values consistency a bit too highly to put itself in the attitude of the Pecksniffian protestant. The Tribune gave its readers everything about the pride fight that it could get worth printing, and possibly something that was not worth printing. It did so because the public was more interested in that fight than it has been in any other event of the year, so the circulation managers inform the editor. It suspects that the public was more interested in it than in the Lorimer exposure. It gave nearly a page to the report of the Legislative Voters' League, but because it thought its readers ought to be interested rather than because it was certain they would be. All the hypocrisy is not journalistic. A plentiful supply of it can be found in estimable homes. That, however, is not the point. The thing the Tribune wishes to emphasize is that for the reasons which have come so readily to its readers it is not protesting against the fight pictures. It is printing the news regarding the protest. That is all. The hands—journalistic and otherwise—raised in protest must be clean hands, and we fear that they will be sadly in the minority—Chicago Tribune. LONDON "SPORTING LIFE" SAYS JOHNSON PROVED BETTER MAN. (From London Sporting Life.) One of the best sporting writers in all of England closes a three-column article on the recent great fight by saying: "Six, seven, eight, nine, out!" went the fatal count, and Johnson had earned for himself forever a niche in the temple of fame. The contest simply proved the impossibility of a man's returning to the ring after a lapse of years with any hope of success. Outpointed, outboxed and outgeneralled from the start to the finish Jeffries never had a ghost of a chance to win after the sixth round, and the magnificent condition in which he apparently took the ring proved to be merely a beautiful shell from the interior of which the kernel had disappeared many a day ago.

Bert Carroll, the genial and ever-popular advertising agent of the Empire Theater, Indianapolis, has just returned from an extended visit with Mr. J. M. Busty and the manager of the Harrison Bros. Bld. Colored Minstrel, a two-car show, playing under canvas. Mr. Carroll speaks in glowing terms of the play and players, and says it is undoubtedly the best show of the season. There are forty artists, including a band and orchestra and the stage performance could not be excelled by any one. For pastime the boys have formed a crack baseball team, and they play in the stadium. The role and usually carry off the laurels. Mr. Carroll thinks so well of the show and its members that he will go over to Metcalf, Ill., Friday, and spend a few days with the boys before going to the games, which opens its regular season, Monday, August 22. "THE MAID AND THE INDIAN" A GREAT SUCCESS L. Tishe Lee Shows Marked Ability as a Writer. There is no question but that Ike Early is as good as they get to be in character work, for he was simply fine as the gold miner. His portrayal of the experience was touching and minding is very touching. The actor has full knowledge of every step in stage business, and he is a clever, hardworking artist at all times. Madame Holden was decidedly a hit. She gave the writer a reason to remember the character, and she drew new her as Madame Terry, one of the most charming singers of the day. In fact, she has always been a real prima donna, and we are glad to note that she has not lost one mite of the glory that we found in her voice in Mrs. Nettle and Lovie Taylor do credit to the characters of Hope and Chappie Goldfind. During the dramatic parts of the act there is absolute silence, and each person is aware of the other. The singing numbers of the show are all very well accepted. Big Chief Battle Axe, by Mr. Lowry and chorus, and "Indian Talk," by Mr. Early and chorus, make the biggest hits. The first part of the show, as well as the second, is comparable Goodloes, Madame Holden, Lee, Early and Lowry, and Taylor and Taylor. The last named team is, in the mind of the writer, the best that ever has been seen in Indianapolis. Their execution is like clockwork, and the characters respond to the word—real, up-to-date high-class workers, and always respond to two or more encores. Mr. Love Taylor is classed as the prize buck and wing dance around this part of the country. Mrs. Taylor, who by the end of the show is one of the best performers in the busi- THE FREEMAN.
