The Rev. Jordan Bishops, chaplain of the regiment, offered the warrior. The band played "Nearer, My God, I will go to the battle," the subject of the address delivered by Rev. Mr. Chavis. He spoke largely from the gospel of St. Paul and gave some special instructions to the soldiers that were so much needed by them while in camp. He did do myself no harm; respect your superiors; be careful when you are emphasized, and he said further: want you to save your money; don't spoilly, for your loved ones at home will expect you to keep it." Rev. Chavis did
careful where they laid their money. He spoke of them being a reserve army. The United States Army and the high honor it was to be a national guardman. He encouraged them to respect the soldiers to take their work with diligence and obedience. He complimented Col. Marshall and his staff and the entire regiment and the soldiers to play the music rendered by the Eighth Regiment and said that it was the proudest moment in the life of Col. Marshall when he was in front of the regiment with the band playing their music.
After the sermon the band played "America" and the entire regiment joined in singing. It was one of the most inspiring pleasures of the week and from pleasures of contempt he the soldiers was evidence that they are Christian gentlemen. "Diplomat," by Sousa, was the selection played by the band as the soldiers marched to their quarters.

Monday.
The real work of the regiment was begun practicing maneuvers. All of the regiments were out on the field bright health. Nothing serious at the hospital, hence the Eighth had the largest number on the field of operations. All the officers of the regiment are well versed in army tactics, having seen the regiment's work. Spend the soldiers that saw service in Cuba are members of the regiment.
Battallion drill, close and extended orders, constituted the major portion of the regiment's work. Every move in the Infantry Drill Regulations was executed. The regimental officers of the Second Brigade were called to the Second Brigade morning at 7 o'clock the entire regiment and the Fourth took a trip across the country, covering 15 miles. All the commanding officers went except the officers of the Fourth, Ratcliff and Maj. Wesley, who remained to carry out other duties at the camp.
The soldiers carried nothing but their guns, belts and canteens. The regiment marched to the river out. The Eighth marched to the river and was supposed to have crossed a bridge, having left camp before daybreak. The Fourth was stationed some miles from the river. The Fourth and completely surrounded the Fourth, taking up her spies and made a complete defeat of the opposing regiment.
The Eighth left camp at 7 a. m. and did not return until noon. The boys showed that they were right up on military affairs and Col. Marshall displayed rare military skills and offensive sides. The Eighth boys were healthy and vigorous and withstood the march admirably.
Word came to the regiment from the "front" that the regiment performed its task of action with intelligence and ability.

The "grandpa clause," the proposed amendment to the State constitution, was passed in 1972. It goes to the federal courts to be fought out in the forum. In the counties in which Negroes predominate in politics, the state legislature votes white Republicans; in communities in which the whites predominate the sentiment was against the measure, though plurality; in many instances by a resolution in school management throughout Georgia, the moral and literary standing are being supplanted by a more competent corps.

Mines and Buried Treasures Discovered
Mines and Buried Treasures Discovered
THE mineral wealth of this country has hardly been scratched. Untold millions in gold, silver, iron and copper mines are the fortunate men or women who discover their true location.
A wonderful instrument called the Spanish Magnetic Needle has recently been perfected. It has been used with wonderful accuracy in discovering both mines and treasures. This needle has interchangeable parts designed for use to indicate mineral sought for. Lost and buried treasures of money, gold and silver are located.
Successful Miners Use These Needles
One writes: "Have got $10,000 in gold located." Another: "Located $400 first time I went out." Another: "I have discovered a silver mine on my plainsland with this mineralogy and mineralogists value this silver mine at $80,000." In the past these needles have been almost impossible to get, but now thanks to the Miners and Prospectors of the area, these needles and other mineral rods can be supplied at low prices.

"For months I had great trouble with my stomach and used all kinds of medicines. My tongue has been actually as green as grass, my breath having a bad odor. Two weeksago a friend recommended Cascarets and after using them I can willingly and cheerfully say that they have entirely cured me.

GEORGE L. KNOX,
Publisher and Managing Editor.
ELWOOD C. KNOX,
Business Manager.
Little Rock, Arkansas, was too strong for Indianapolis, Chicago and Atlanta in the bid for the next meeting place of the National Negro Business League Convention.
Theodore Roosevelt carried the Negro Business Men's Convention by storm; he was cheered and cheered again, finally support was tendered him for anything he cared to seek. The Colonel came back at any rate.
Insurance companies are notable features of the enterprise of Southern States. The growth within the last few years has been great, both by the way of new companies and the amount of business done. "My company," declared C. C. Spaulding of Durham, N. C., at the Negro Business Men's Convention, "collected about eleven years ago $800. Last year we collected more than $20,000. Such too had been the progress of Dr. W. A. Attaway of Greenville, Miss., Thos. T. Jackson, Pittsburg, Pa., and E. F. Johnson of Richmond, Va.
"I speak with sorrow and with a sense of humiliation and shame when I call attention to the fact that within in a period of thirty days during the six summer no less than twenty six colored men were wantonly murdered by mobs—shot down or hanged as if they had been so many wild beasts. In one case, that near Palestine, Texas, the sheriff of the county, a Southern white man, says: 'Men were going out killing negroes as fast as they could find them, and so far as I could learn without any just cause. These negroes had done no wrong that I could discover.' What a blot upon our Christian civilization does such lawlessness indicate. What a blush of shame does such barbarous acts bring to every American citizen. Let this truth never be forgotten, that whatsoever a man or nation sows, that it shall also reap."—Booker T. Washington on lynching, at the Negro Business Men's Convention.
W. P. PERKINS. PATENTEE.
W. P. Perkins of Willis, Texas, is in the city for a few days looking forward to the sale of his patent on railroad rails. Mr. Perkins' invention does away with the bolting at the ends of rails, a groove system whereby one rail overlaps another, giving the entire track a look of continuity. The inventor claims strength owing to the simplicity and economy because it is possible to reverse the rail when worn too much on the side that receives the greater pressure. Those in position to know think he has a good thing. Partial arrangement has already been made for a practical test of the invention. One of the great railroads will have rails made and laid according to the inventor's plan. As the matter stands these have only to make good his claims, the rest being merely a matter of terms between the patentee and the railroad companies.
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.
Dr. Booker T. Washington in his speech before the Negro Business Men's Convention at New York called attention to the South as a section of opportunity for Negroes in business. Restrictions, he said, came from other directions while in business the race had things pretty much its own way.
Mr. Washington does not say in so many words that the restrictions in other directions contributed to the good of the Negroes in a business way. It is true, and it is the compensation for the ills endured if we will see it that way. For after all, as things go in the world affairs, the money influence is much the greater. He that hath will be given unto him is a strangely true doctrine, absolutely opposite to the preaching tenets of men, but actually in accord with the practice.
Most of us are inclined to consider as questionable the advice of the man to his son when he said to him that he should get money, not how, but get money. The advice here is tendered, but with moderation. In the North too, we think the Negro has a great opportunity, near about the same that he has in the South. This is especially so where Negroes live in considerable numbers. For in such localities the race finds that in the most part it is not expected in affairs excepting those conducted by it. The condition is revealing itself more and more and the colored people are finally learning to take advantage of the disadvantages under which the race labors.
Prejudice and discrimination simply means opportunity, such as present no other people. And so plain
is it that the race can make itself financially whole while enduring them that it seems a part of a divine plan. It at least is an admirable example of economical adjustment which shapes itself out of conditions, granting opportunity for remedy at the weakest point. No other race enjoys this peculiar business franchise. If the race fails to make good financially it will have the race only to blame.
RACE RIOTERS INDICTED.
Five indictments, containing twenty-two charges of murder in the first degree, have been returned by the grand jury against seven white men alleged to have participated in the recent race riots near Slocum, in which eight Negroes were killed. Six of the men indicted are in jail. They are Jim Spurger, B. F. Jenkins, Curtis Spurger, Isom Garner, — Jenkins and Andrew Kirkwood. The seventh man indicted is not under arrest and his name is being withheld.
The disgraceful happening at Palestine, Texas, not long since is having an airing in court. The happening where Negroes were pursued and shot down as so many dogs was nothing short of massacre only paralleled in the border wars with the Indians of years ago. It seemed fairly beyond belief. Race men did not seem willing to write or talk on a situation which was simply staggering, owing to the unexpected ferocity of individuals who as much as they were suspected of being equal to many things that struck at the Negro race, did not think them capable of this. It is extremely well that the court act in the matter. The country is not prepared for such unusual slaughter. The Negroes in some respects, in some matters, wear the attributes of Him that is slow to anger. But it is presuming to think they can not be aroused to the point of resentment at all, that they are the spiritual sloths of the land, in one continuous torment.
If our country would not raise up individuals who distrust the sincerity of government as displayed them it will see to it, that if there will be murderous outbreaks, that those committing them will come to justice. Such cases as the Palestine affair do not pave the way to peace. If they clarify the atmosphere it is for the time being only. The resentment is nursed, it is natural, whether men speak freely or hold their peace.
Nothing can happen with which the law or the courts cannot cope. If they fail for any reason whatsoever, they are less respected, lose the high import attached to them by those who know nothing but to walk within the laws, and finally justice becomes a questionable thing—a thing of doubt, being administered in behalf of classes.
In Indianapolis a series of papers by eminent lawyers and others appeared recently in the newspapers all touching on the thing of delayed justice and defeated justice, decisions and reversions of decisions, seemingly in the interest of a known thing or individuals making plain the possibility of having rights that are not bound to be respected.
As much as this kind of reform is needed, it is nothing to what is needed as it regards outrages by way of lynchings of Negroes. A wave of reformation might sweep over the country as it seemed to sweep over the state of Indiana, making it planner that the courts are to adjust wrongs between individuals and not unauthorized persons, and who are no more than subjects of the same courts when opposing the law.

BASEBALL IN CHICAGO
DURING THE WEEK
In the game, which was well patronized, for the benefit of Provident Hospital, the Leland Giants snowed Mc7 to 0. Wickware, the Leland's star player, but was not the only team having everything in a pitcher reporte, and was ably supported by the colored champions. Wickware not only struck out 8 men, but slammed out a total of 10. In Comiskey's new $1,000,000 ball yard and the elite of colored society was in attendance. Foster's champions not only played an errorless game, but stung the Giants with a third-sacker. Lloyd and Wickware all starred at bat for the Giants, each starred out a three-bagger. The Giants trimmed the Gunthers in a benefit game at Comiskey's Park by a score of 9 to 4. Earl Ruger, the Gunthers' star southpaw artist, proved an easy proposition for the colorful team, played sensational ball getting 3 hits, and making a great one-handed catch off Hutton's ball. It was one of the greatest catches ever seen in a game. The Chicago Giants journeyed to St. Louis and defeated the St. Louis Giants 3 games. The Giants played great ball during all the games, and from all ap-
In Saturday's game between the Leeland Giants and Roseland Eclipse Pat Dougherty, the big sidewheeler of Fosseville, scored 3 measly hits, while the Giants banged out 12 for a total of 7 runs, the score beamed 7 to 0. Hill, Payne, Petway and Dougherty got doubles, while Duncan got 3 hits, including 2 doubles.
In Saturday's game between Chicago Giants and Rogers Park the Rogers Parks took a wei- contested game by the inability of the Giants to hit at the right time. The score was 2 to 1, with the Giants hitting first baseman of Pettus, the hard-hitting first baseman of the Giants, is now leading the City League with an average of .385.
The batting averages of the Giants are as follows: Pettus, .385; Ball, .359; Justin, .290; Wendell, .238; Moore, .213; Sten, .200; Wendell, .193; Moore, .198; Williams, .199; Wright, .187;
The Louisville Cubs, who were scheduled to meet Foster's champions Sunday, were delayed by a wreck and could not journey. The Athletics niled in the date.
DIAMOND DASHES.
Pryor of the Lelands is fast developing into a star player, being of the Devilin type on the diamond in action.
The rumor will not down that the Lelands will play on Comiskey's grounds next season when the White Sox are absent.
As a fielding team the Chicago Giants are superior to any team in the City League. Their weakness is their inability to hit.
Bobby Winston, who is way up in the City League averages, is still hitting the ball hard. Bobby got 2 hits in Saturday's game.
With Wickware pitching in the form he is now next season may see the Southern boy champion colored pitcher of the country.
Nate Harris, the able leader of the Chicago Giants, has returned to his old team while seems that he is the peer of all second baseman.
Gabbie Millner, who formerly played out and played on the St. Paul Gophers, is hitting at a terrific clip for Jack Johnson's Kansas City Giants.
The Union Giants are now touring Michigan and have met with great success. They will play all the way back home, arriving here in about five weeks.
Albert Teeter, the Leland Giants' fan and betting commissioner, will make the Eastern trip with the colored champions and will carry the money of the John Club.
Dad Johnson pitched great ball Sunday; the Athletics do nothing with him, only 1 clean hit, a home run by Reilley, was given by the "Grand Old Man."
It will be a long time before another player of the type of Lloyd of the Lelands breaks into the game. Lloyd is a finished player in all departments of the game.
Rube Foster, the gallant leader of the Leland Giants, says he will have to go to hold his title, as Dougherty and Wickware are now pitching shut-out games.
Chapple Johnson of the Chicago Giants, is the only semi-pro. catcher in these games that wears shin guards. Chapple says it makes him look like a big jugger.
Dad Johnson, the Leland's second baseman, is now playing the same game as when he was leader of the famous Columbia Giants and gained the title of "Home Run Johnson."
Baby Webb, the greatest pitcher in the South, now may be seen in a Chicago uniform next season. Both Leland and Webb hit a hot on the trail of the Southern demon.

Gatewood and McMurray, who were formerly of Chicago, were the batteries for the Chicago Giants in one of the St. Louis games, but they were unable to get by the boys from the Winds City. Pettus, the Chicago Giants' first sacker and catcher, is stillounding the leather.

LOSE ONE AND TAKE TWO
DAYTON, O—The Marcos, semi-professional colored team, lost to the Dayton White Sox (white), in a close and furious game, the exception of seving, the errors, the games winning, and it was one of those nervous kinds of games that kept the crowd wondering who would be victorious. In the ninth inning, the team stood in favor of the Sox Sloan, at the time, but was greatly dismayed by the wonderful catch by the Sox center-fielder. Elks, knowing they could not play before leaving home, went down in defeat, 10 to 2, in a seven-inning game, last Wednesday. The last Sunday the Piqua Cubs, a fast-track team lay the record of winning came to the Dayton Marcos grounds to win the title from the Marcos, the present title holder in Ohio. Anderson, the team's second-fastest and famous ball. He fanned twelve Cubs allowed only two hits. Then Sloane was put in the box. He fanned four and allowed five hits. The features were Anderson's three-bagger and Russell's greenie and Greene's two-baggers. The R.E.H. Cubs. 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 - 4 7 6 Marcos. 2 2 0 2 0 - 8 15 3 Marcos—Samuel Miu.

SATISEACTION
To the man who has his clothes made to order there's a personal satisfaction in knowing he is well dressed and up to the minute in style.

While all clothes made here are always in the prevailing style, care and judgment is used to give the merchant the most becoming to him, the drapping of the clothes being correct in every detail.

Great Crowds Storm the Doors—S. R. O. Sign Out.
Not since colored vaudeville houses have been established in Indianapolis has Nate Dyer stars in a bill that could come any way near approaching the standard of the one being presented at Lee and Simon's fourteenth Street Theater, this week. Monday night calls of city's select theater-goers flock in in the large "tented playhouse," at Fourteenth and West streets, to witness what proved to be one of the most successful performers in the real stage, viewing it in a strictly critical real
Anita Wilkins, who will be remembered as one of the principals in the movie *Tufus casts the Company*, appended her name to the hand and "hand" from about every person in the audience. Anita Wilkins, as it was seen, was born with a soprano voice not to be heard by her mother, but by anyone. Her selections for Mondays night met the approval of all and two of the three songs that she sang were "Cannon's Bleeding Moon" and "In the Gate of the Moon" had occasion to hear several of our prima donna sing "Bleeding Moon" and each of them sang exceptionally well in our opinion, we think that Anita Wilkins finds the song that goes to the musical heart with a force of delight that holds you in some sort of a rapturous joy that can be expressed. Her higher notes are so beautiful.
tenderness that you are ever bent on calling her back when she finishes. On her tones you cannot discover that metallic ones are the other voices. Then, too, she has a winning expression in her face and cosy smile that blend harmoniously in accord with her.
After noting the passing of such comedians as Ernest Hogan, Tom Logan, J. Ed Green and many other lights it is to look upon the face of C. D. Wintrey. For the comedian, a comedian for this great little company. Looking on his face gives you hopes in the coming generation of natural performers, and for Wintrey is certainly born comedian. For the amount of ability to take up the desired Bert Wintrey, S. H. Dudley or Tutt Whitney may leave off. Seldom do you find so young a colored monologist who sees us better lines of surreality for certain wit and stage business, but not enough to accomplish was not mostly Wintrey's. In the afterpiece, and there is surely one good one—he takes the character of an ignorant man who is trying to get talent for a road troupe and to become natural. Really, this young actor is one who relies on boisterousness, uncle, stagnated pursuits to amuse you, but she takes the pure wit and humor and then takes the pure wit and humor kept them all laughing and seemed dery why he could do so, but a born comedian can always provoke laughter.
Arthur Wollige, the "Original Rags" who was once over stageland, simply knocked them higher up the stage, speak, last Monday night. It had been several years since "he" had been here to make everybody happy and he came back to make everybody happy and he glad to see so many of his old friend's over glad to see him, for they fairly roared when he told them of his recent visit across the water to see some acquaintance and to see it was amusing for all, as he related those experiences of his. But the part that captivated the audience was an ex-temporaneous song entitled "I Know What I Am." He happily told which he composes rhymes about various persons in the audience. It seemed that the people would never grow tired of hearing the song, for they laughed in the song until he was exhausted. We know of no comedian or performer in the business who can even make any pre-tensions at imitating such ability. But we know of a comedian and therefore Mr. Woolige well earns the "Original" part of the stage name. We also notice that he can lay some on good acting, as he gave us reason to laugh, especially clever. He has a bearing that is striking, which adds great force to his other talents. His lines in his monologue are especially clever. "Rags" is a hit today, tomorrow and every day in the week.
There is a "sister act"—as they term it—that cuts much of a figure in the lives of the young. The act we have reference to is that of the Misses Mamie McCrea and Ada Smith, who do a bit of singing and dancing that is very special to them. Kind. They are vivacious and appealing to everyone. The two ladies wore costumes of quality and they sing nothing but the most beautiful songs of the weak order. Really the act needs just a little touching up and with a little more zeal on either's part can be a great help. They say that the act goes begging for the want of real talent and merit, for that of hundreds that are far in advance of
Manager E. D. Lee and Mr. Louis Simon are to be congratulated for securing the company that they go to sell, that they are in dead earnest about pleasing the people. They want them to have the best. Of course the performance is refined in its final form, but the captain in the audience who did not roundly appreciate and applaud every number. It is to be hoped that the name comes to be known and called "Bontons" for several weeks longer. But, however, we wish to felicitate Mr. Gilpin and his excellent company of colleagues. We are in keeping Negro comedy and again hope them continued success. C. D. M.
MADAME CLOSES HER ENGAGEMENTS HERE—HAS NOT MADE ANY FUTURE PLANS.
Madame Holden, who was formerly Mme. M. L. Terry, has just closed her son-in-law's show at Fourteenth and West streets. Mme. Holden has long been known in musical circles as one of the best soprano solistas in the country. She has been a major part of domas of her race, being noted for her exceptionally clear, sweet voice. Some years ago she won great fame through her work with the Clover in a way that electrified every one who heard. Just now Mme. Holden has not made any definite plans as to what she will do next, as she has not accepted the offer, and will remain in this city for a short period.

Jack London, the novelist, described the end as follows: Round fifteen and the end as follows: Round fifteen opened
to Jeff bitterness that he had so often made others taste, but which for the first time, perforce, he was made to taste bim-
Sel. He who had never been Knocked down was knocked down repeatedly. He who had never been knocked out was knocked
out. Never mind the technical decisions, Jett was knocked out and through the ropes by the punch he never believed Jack
Johnson possessed—by the left, not by the right. As he lay across the lower rope while the seconds were tolled off, a cry that
hhad'in t'tears and abject broken pride went up trom many ot the spectators.
“Don't let the Negro knock ‘him out! was the repeated cry.

If you want to see baseball done right,

Last week the St. Lous Giants had_ the

fact, one writer in-treating the game said
that if these men had the same Kind of

‘Sport writers on the ‘St. Louls papers
aldn't care for space when writing on the

fhe on, amounting to more than informa-

‘Whose colors they wore,
‘And by whom they swore.
‘The rooters were there also; they lent
their voices to the general hurrah, but all
in vain, for like the redoubtable Jack
Johnson the Leland Glants were nothing
daunted, finally succeeding In cracking the
Iife out’ of the St. Louis people to the
‘tune of 12 to 0. Such a defeat! Where,
‘oh. where, heretofore thas it been written?
‘The Chicago boys could easily have dou-
bled the 12 sf they had cared to do 50.
‘It was a tragedy—it was a shame.
‘The St. Louls writers were all praising
the work’ of the individual players of the
Chicago team. H.W. Lanigan of the
St. Louis ‘Times says, when speaking of
the ‘batteries :
“one "beauty-bright, batters —Ball_and
Johnson. ‘There's Rot a whole lot of bat-
teries in either big white baseball body
that has a thing on them. Ball ts the
pitching member of the firm, and Manager
Frank states that he has two other rub-
ber artists just as clever as Ball. One of
the others, the renowned Wililams, is
down to do the heaving in the getaway
show Thursday. If he has it on Ball, he
is a sure enough topliner.
“Aside from Bresnahan there isn't a
catcher in St, Louis as reliable, clever,
classy or stylish as Johnson. He goes
by the cognomen of Chappy, and it fits
him snugly. Johnson is out ‘of the same
mold as Indian Meyers of Johnny Me-
Graw’s Giants, and he's several shades a
better receiver.
“Iiis every motion 13 that of, the high-
class workman, and, Bo, this is no kid.
His receiving 1s flawless. His pegging is

the ‘pitcher, and he works ‘without the
slightest effort. Give Jack O'Connor a
eatcher like him—and Johnson is the
demon’ batter with It—and a big per-
