AN ADVERTISEMENT PLACED IN THE COLUMNS OF THE FREEMAN IS NOT AN EXPERIMENT, BUT AN INVESTMENT. RATES FURNISHED ON APPLICATION. SE THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER INDIANAPOLIS TROOPS INSPECTED BY HEAD OF STATE On Wednesday, previous to Governor's day, the Eighth regiment held its dress day, the Eighth regiment special review for the Governor and his staff. At the time no one was upon the field but the Eighth. This was the day the regiment was reviewed and dressed in dress parade maneuvers. Thousands of visitors were present and it was one grand sight to see the colored boys hold up their hats and stand in formation that the Eighth regiment band made a hit. They played such pieces as The National Emblem, "Diplomat and the Emblem," and the touch. The music was so fine and grand that the martial airs caused waves of apache to come from the grandstand, the Davenport and General Young and his staff. Every soldier of the Eighth took part in the dress parade except those on guard and upwards of 900 were reviewed by the FRIDAY Brigadier General Wells was joined with two soundrons of cavalry and secretly moved out to bluffs, which line was this position. The Fourth continued this line through the woods, constructing intricate interiors crescent about a mile long. The Eighth crescent about a mile long of the brow of the bluffs, Major R. R. Robinson and Lieutenant Louis Anderson left right wing, while Major Duncan the left. Major Denison was stationed in the city, back of the Governor and his staff for reinforcements. **BURY BEINING.** At 8:30 o'clock, the opposing army was swarming through the streets of Awert- SEP 3 1910 Wilie, a northern suburb of Peloria. At 8:45 sharp fire began on pickets. The signal corps, equipped with a full field armor, knocked up by telegraph and field telephone the location of the respective commander of the Governor and his staff. From 9 o'clock on until 11 o'clock there was rapid firing on both sides. The opposing armor was to make a flank attack due to the almost unseen ravines. The Third and Sixth regiments got in their positions and part of the Third came up the Rock Island railroad. This wing of the First was pepered by the enemy and was heard nothing but firing and people began to close in from parts of the surrounding country to see and hear the shooting. Governor Deneen, who wore a white handkerchief on his hat, which was neutrality, rode along the battle and watch all the maneuvers. About 11:30 o'clock there was a general engagement of firing. The opposing army was shelling Peloria. The First and Second armor began firing after volley, riles cracked and machine guns ripped. General Young said to Colonel Marshall: "The Eighth regiment did some fine work on the day of the battle and they held their position remarkably well." General James B. Smith, ex-adjutant-general of the State and one of the best friends of the Eighth was ever bad, said Marshall: "The Eighth was one of boys. They are the finest drillers of all the regiments in the State, and I am always their friend." Other such ex-adjutants of the State and one of officials, including General Wells, who commanded the second division of which the Eighth was a part. Another of kindness was despatched by Adjutant General Dickson, who told Colonel Marshall before boarding the train for home Saturday, to telegraph the nearest station and have 800 ham sandwiches and 40 quarts of water. The encampment was also instructed to have enough trains for all the boys that their travel might be comfortable. The encampment was a national guard of the National Guards of the State of Illinois. In this success, much of it can be attributed to the Eighth, which represents all the Negroes of the Union, for it is the only regiment of colored soldiers in the State. REGIMENTAL NOTES. "The war correspondent" got off very light. He was only initiated by two companies. He was thrown up in blanket. He was forced to leave. He was foured that he would be tried by the kangaroo court, of which Major Denison was judge, but his behavior after missing the first morning's hike over added to his guilt. He was added to him go. After Monday he was at every FOLLY Is Relinquished Over a Fire maneuver, right up near the colonel and on the firing line the day of the battle. One of the missing personages was Bert Williams. Hundreds and hundreds of people wanted to know the whereabouts of the distinguished actor and soldier. They were told that he was with William of 1910" and could not be present. --- Colonel Marshall and his entire staff, including the "war correspondent," paid a visit to the officers' day night. The officers were in their new suits and looked military from head to foot. Each was presented to the Gov- --- The Eighth regiment band was the "cream" of the encampment. The papers and people were unsparing in their praise of the very early music renderby our military unit, but come from other camps to hear music under the direction of William Barry, who is the band master. On one evening the band gave a concert at Hagan's place a few steps outside the camp. One little colored boy, who was afterwards called the Tiger of Eligh, sent the roaring the trucks. He was called in the car by Colonel Marshall. He was interviewed and found to be a very bright boy, age 15. He was taken up by the band, and was taken up by "Swy" Jackson. Major Denison looked him over and then decided to take charge of him. It was afterwards learned that Major Denison was going to adopt him. The boy's name was Purnell and lived at Centralia, Ill. --- The companies at the camp were under the command of the following captains: Company A, Captain Betts; Company B, Captain Alexander; Company C, Captain Alexander; Company D, Captain Company E, Captain Hill; Company F, Captain Arnett; Company H, Captain Hoige, Springfield; Company K, Captain Williams, Metropolis; Company L, Captain Byrd, Quincy; Company L, Captain Klnabrough, Jacksonville; Company G, Jacksonville, Bloomington. He was importantly represented that the above captains and their subordinates had their companies under excellent control. One officer of the white regiment said that he rode over at the west of the camps on the front of the battlefield. His men's men on guard were the only ones that had properly saluted officers. Captains Nelson and Frye were recipients of many congratulations from the "front." The heads of the Second division said that these two men had performed their duty with great pains and the section to the State government officials. Major Wesley reports that the head surgeon in charge conditioned the sanitary condition of the Eighth. The army surgeons rode over the camp and found everything in perfect condition. Drs. White and Sheppard were valuable assistants to Dr. Wesley. The officers of the regiment were much surprised at the visit of Hon. Ed Green at the camp. These two distinguished citizens from Chicago were Pearla on a special visit to Governor Deneen. They arrived in time for mess at the camp. The colonel's quarters, where they were given a feast. Both are warm supporters of the regiment. Bert Williams being absent, Lieutenant Louis B. Anderson supplied the colonel's staff with the fun. Attorney "Lewy" is very witty and almost at every moment a man of the officers and their bravery. He never lost an opportunity to tell a good story, to the merriment of all present. Report has it that he is in line for a higher regimental office. * While it might seem that the bulk of the praise goes to the high officials of the regiment, this is not exactly so. The praise really went to the privates, the officers, the top officers, the trees in the camp and cleaned up for the tented city. It was the privates who arose early in the morning and patrolled the camp; it was the privates who were there right at night and day. It was the privates who made ten and fifteen-mile hikes across the country, marching over the hills and through the ravines; it was their ground do the ringing; it was their ground do the battle. It was the privates who put up the tents and took them down; cooked the food, and in fact kept the whole machinery until it departed. Colonel Marshall saw that all his men were given the best of comforts during their stay in camp. Dr. Claudius Bell and Sergeant Gerguson were "Johnny on the spot" with the ambulance wagon. Wherever the flag and bugle went, teey were there for any emergency. An idea of the immensity of money spent at Camp Deneen will be shown from the table compiled at the adjutant's office. Transportation ..... $65,000 Subsistence ..... 17,000 Pay ..... 63,000 Horse hire ..... 10,500 Horse feed ..... 1,500 Civilian labor ..... 1,000 Water ..... 4,000 Ammunition ..... 4,000 General expenses ..... 10,000 Total ..... $175,000 W. J. Warfield, act commissary, was among the young men that contributed much to the success of the regiment. Lieutenant Warfield never saw a moment of illness and was always doing something new and in the best manner. Private Patterson was mustered in as a stenographer and assistant to Morris Lewis, Sergeant Major Lester Harrison who was one of the young men that valuable work and was awarded with a promotion. The actual busy man at the regiment was Adjutant Robert Ratrliff. All of the clerical work and numerous field duties was done under this gentleman's supervise. He was very workable how well he performed so much work with apparent ease and intelligence. . . . . Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, the "soldier of the regiment, was always up along over the camp, seeing that his men were ready for their morning's hike. Colonel Marshall could have no better man as his assistant than Lieutenant John Johnson. --- Major Frank A. Denison was never happier than when he received the report that he was to reinforce Prospect Heights. He was to reinforce the real estate hours before it was called upon to take part in the battle. When the word came, the boys went to the front like lions and fired every bit of their ammunition. When they ceased, the battle was over. --- Mr. and Mrs. Newsome of this city were among the visitors at the camp. They were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Cotton of Peoria. They were also guests at dinner several times at the colonel's headquarters. Mrs. John R. Marshall and Mrs. R. Jackson were among the other distinguished visitors. Bessie Arnold was ill and unable to be present at this encampment. The following is an observation of the "war correspondent" last Wednesday: Observed troops moving in a westerly direction from extreme southern end of camp. Later followed another body of troops moving in a central location of the camp. The last Wednesday was at 7 a.m. First body arrived at point of rest at 8:10 a.m. This was at crest of hill lying in extreme easterly direction west of the Illinois river. From observation of the troops, indications were that one battalion of the Eighth infantry detailed these men for duty while the other two battalions formed reserved bodies. This formation was completed at 9:30 a.m. Attacking *Continued on Page Four.* MANY VISITORS FROM THE SOUTH IN THE CITY Indications Point to Democratic Victory-Editor W. D. Johnson in the City-Prominent K. of P's in Conference. Special to THE FREEMAN. OCTOBER 20, 2000 — Chicago was infested with thousands of visitors last week coming from the South. They came on an excursion. Their tickets were sold to be good for fifteen days. State street was very prominent in social and business life of the various communities from which they hall. The local theatres up and down the Stroll were benefited by the Monogram have had splendid houses for the past week, and with cool nights it is expected to be even larger. William Adams, the popular taller, 2939 State street had a firm time to visit Louisville and Harrodsburg, Ky. The latter city is the home of Mr. Adams, and he went there to visit his relatives. Mr. Adams found his people to be in the best numbers of old friends and those for eleven years, and all his younger relatives had grown to be large young men and women. He stopped over in Louisville for a short time and number of old friends. He says that he is now ready for work and is open day and night for business. . . . Lleut.

Mrs. Watkins stopped over in Washington, Baltimore, and New York. While awaiting the guest at a number of social functions. Quite a number of changes have been made at the Pekin Theatre and bar. There are no other old places. Some are not there, while others have different duties to perform. Mr. Bell remains at the Pekin Inn, while changes have been made at the box office and bar. There is much speculation as to the theatrical situation along the Stroll. With the audience going to put out the very best not only this the public is going to demand. Some claim that the situation will be critical, while others will be matter with no significance; but the building of the new theatre at Thirty-first and State streets is causing many to think that it will affect the attendance of other theaters on the Stroll when it is completed. Miss Blanche Shaw is in the city of Pekin and she is shaw visited Camp Deneen when the English was in camp and was the guest of Col. Marshall and staff at dinner. Cook and Jeffrey have written a new song, "Maybe I'll Come Back." It is being sung by Stella Mayhew and the song is meeting with success.

A double header game was played between Jackson and Jackson, 5 to 4, the second to Brookhaven, 15 to 4.

Can accolored box stand the championship pace? This is a question worthy of a great amount of consideration and perhaps more right now, on account of the fact that he was remembered as the "Old Master." The passing of Gans, who, by the way, was one who helped to uplift the game, recalls the finish of other Negro fighters in the past. He only to drop back suddenly from the pugnistic limelight. Just as suddenly have these few been claimed by the grim reaper and the spartan who there was on Peter Jelsdau, the veteran of a seaching heavyweight battle, but who, on account of his color, never attained his one ambition—that of champion of the big It was the fate of these three, and they were all marvels more or less in their respect for the sport. They were bound victims of tuberculosis. That three of them should meet the same kind of an end, and the fact that they were all Negro boxers account for it. In addition, there were any number of other Negro boxers who, while never considered champion possibility, had never faced every one of them have passed into objection in so far as the outside sporting world is concerned. One could name almost a score of these, but most of them have been Wolcott Drops Out. Chief among them was Joe Wolcott, who in his prime was a terror, but now seems to have dropped from the race of the best players in the face of long career in the ring has left him in a state popularly classed nowadays as "all in." He was last heard of some time last year, when he appeared up in Portland, Me, but like the rest of the "old boys," he is through. Speaking of Wolcott, a glance at his record brings forth a few interesting facts. He was a pugilist as interesting as any of the past pugilists. In his time he never did much bickering about weights, but he took on any one willing to meet him, and never even bothered to do so. He fought two draws with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and battled Sam Langford to a draw in fifteen rounds near Boston, even though unwieldy by many old-fashioned players. He old-foes, and the two fought a sizzling 20-round draw at Frisco back in September, 1904. In his other battles were included in the 1905 World Championship, Henkel Mellody, Joe Grimm, Young Peter Konson and a host of lesser lights. Wolcott was usually known as the "Barbados Terror," the place from whence he hailed himself, since his appearance on the pugilistic horizon. Jackson Barred from Title. Going back to Peter Jackson, we find another colored fighter who was always known as a hard hitter, but on account of his color was never conceded a clear claim to the heavyweight championship. Sullivan held sway over the heavies, and as the latter would never consider meeting a Negro, Jackson was eliminated entirely. It was much like the situation we had in the past year when Jack Johnson was held sway over the heavies, but because of the fact that Jeff was never beaten a number were inclined to take his claim somewhat lightly. Johnson was luckier than his predecessor, however, for he at least received the opener, and that he was the superior of the white man. An idea of just how good Jackson really was is furnished by the mere fact that he fought a memorable 61-round draw with the Rangers in 1891. The battle was one of the longest ever witnessed on the coast, and it was at this time that Corbett was looming up to the defense of the ice-clad livan. It was only a little more than a year later, September 7, that "Gentleman Jim" knocked out the veteran of bareknuckle days in the twenty-first round at the Rangers' home in New York, much as will be the recent battle at Reno, when fans from all over the world gathered in the little desert city to witness the day's event. It was back to the game to the very end, and it is even said today that when Jeffries knocked him out in the third round he was more dead than alive, due to the ravages of the white plague that occurred May 18, 1898, and it was not long after this when the great Negro boxer breathed his last. Dixon Fought Much. In George Dixon was a fighter who lived with his mitts and one who was never happy unless facing some kind of a ring. He was a man of about 160 fights, and in that number were men who, in weight, far outclassed the little feather—but never in gameness. His many ring engagements and battles were all of time, and it was perhaps as much as anything else which hurried him to his death. For cleverness he was the original fighter, Joe McCormick, "Old Master," followed his speeches more or less, and he never knew the sting of a knockout until the last battle of his career, when he went down under the blows of his many enemies. His many encounters took him to almost every corner of this country and even to England. In Chicago he is-remembered for his battles with Terry McCormick, another singer, a few others, these taking place back in 1899 and 1900. Joe Gans' untimely death recalls a career probably more brilliant in the eyes of a man who have gone before him. Gans was as well, if not better, known than any of the fighters of the present generation, and his few big battles stand out prominently now. His fights with Battling Nelson were the one thing which brought him into prominence, and he was the one when he attempted to bring back the title he had lost, cost him his life. The exacting conditions demanded by the Dane literally took the life out of him, and he was forced to set down to the weight, and since that time he never regained his vitality.

The very important subject, "The Contribution of the Colored Newspaper to the Progress of the Race," was among those discussed at the Hampton Conference this week. The Negro press has gotten on somehow without definite understanding as to plans and aims. That it has had so nearly a oneness of purpose in the past was due to the all absorbing race question. What to do was instinctively known, and the attempt was made to do it. The attempts at defense, at praise and encouragement have not at all times been judicious, but at all times in the right direction. In short, there has been unanimity of purpose, and supported by more or less intelligence, according to the occupant of the editorial chair. Time is advancing; changes have come about since colored men found it necessary to be editors, to be publishers of newspapers; consequently a studious effort on the part of the press to outline a sort of general work would be no bad thing for the future. The race question has broadened out—is finer, more subtle, seemingly having reached the stage where advance of a kind is difficult and requiring consummate ability. The recently organized press association at Louisville, Ky., was thought to have had some such purpose for organizing—unanimity of purpose and method in dealing with the more vital questions in order to secure the greatest good with the least "expense." Other organizations in the past were suggested and promoted by good, earnest men, who had the best of intentions in mind. They were only lightly considered, and very soon they were things of the past, notwithstanding the importance of their mission. The white race, one will think, does not stand very much in need of such organizations, yet it is to be doubted if there is a single State without its association of newspaper men. The white people sacrifice time and money in making their meetings. In the past colored men have not been able to sacrifice either time or money. It is different to-day; they are much better prepared, and should feel it an opportunity and a pleasure to meet annually or semi-annually in order to proceed in the most intelligent manner toward the thing of contributing to the progress of the race, according to the Hampton discussion. The newspaper by colored men, on the whole, has been the most intelligent factor in public affairs. With due respect to rostrum and pulpit, with great regard for the eminent ones of those callings, they have not measured with the newspapers as to the intelligence of the output nor as to the efficiency of the "vehicle." The growth of the newspaper as an intellectual quantity has been much more rapid than that of the others when viewed as purely agencies for the uplift in civil affairs, a function assumed by pulpit and rostrum in the past, and with reason owing to the first condition of the race. The newspaper has fairly displaced the other factors along this line, both being more able and better fitted to grapple with questions where morals and religion are not concerned. The newspapers by white people, owing to their character, giving the news daily and hourly, will not permit the rapid evolution of the Negro press. The enlightened Negroes expect the news as the white people expect theirs. Competition shuts the race out of this field. Race discrimination, however, may be relied on to "engender" enough race pride to warrant the continuance of Negro publications where Negroes live in considerable numbers. These will in turn contribute to the ways and means of making least effective and least obnoxious this prejudice—the reason for their existence. The Negro newspaper as a business enterprise has not been a notable success. In that fact lies the greater reason for congratulation, in that the spirit of philanthropy has prevailed, and race zeal, where the thought was to serve rather than profit. Say what one will, there is considerable of that Garrison spirit to-day right among Negroes, who are fired to do as were martyrs of the early church. Indeed, when it comes to sacrifice to-day, in a way, the Negro newspaper men have claim to the first place. They better than they knew. Out of it all depositors, and scarcely less so to the came the splendid promise and hope. Chances for financial success of publications by Negroes have improved tenfold within the last ten years. The business is recognized as legitimate where it was considered a makeshift and excuse for lazy men. Respect attaches to the opinions of the editors, who in the most part are those of the best intelligence of the race. To speak of what the Negro newspaper does by way of employing members of the race would be a very lengthy story. It has, in short, contributed to the material prosperity of the race by way of employment to thousands of managers, editors, clerks, compositors and agents, as well as by that unmeasurable good through cheer, sympathy and encouragement—the support of the other half of man, the spiritual side, and which must-be fed as surely as the physical man. That these things should sound eternally in the ears of the race should also be the purpose of deliberative bodies, and which, in the end, would mean greater appreciation of the newspaper. SCOTLAND PAPER SAYS FIGHT WAS ONE OF FATR PLAY. It Says the Best Man Had to Win. GLASGOW, Scotland.—In the Evening Times of July 5 appeared the following editorial under the caption "Fair Play in Nevada": Whatever view may be taken of the moral aspects of the big fight at Reno, it must be confessed that the beating of the favorite and the whole tenor of the proceedings throughout bear at least a strong testimony of fair play. This is a point deserving of emphasis. We hear a good deal regarding the barbarity of such affairs, and real learned disquisitions upon their being the survival of the primitive instinct in civilized man. Without questioning the fundamental truth in both of these assertions, it is only reasonable to remember that when our troglodyte ancestors sniffed the battle from afar and went forth to fight no fundamental idea of fair play entered into their "scrap." The man who could get the knock-out blow administered first, by fair means or foul, was the hero of the moment. Not so yesterday. Both men had the opportunity of availing themselves of every legal aid in the way of training. We may take it that both were fully aware of the task in hand, and each did his best to become physically fit for its accomplishment. The better man from the physical point of view unquestionably won. Jeffries passed his palmy days some years ago. A few years hence some other Titan of the ring will arise, and the fate which was Jeffries' last night will probably be the black man's in the years to come. Emphasizing still further the point regarding fair play is the fact that into the contest entered the very strong racial feeling of black and white. It is difficult for the citizens of this country to thoroughly appreciate the depth and the vehemence of these feelings in America. The animosity which unfortunately exists between the white man of the Southern States especially and the Negroes can not be exaggerated. It explains the vast difficulty surrounding that bugbear of the American statesman, the color problem. Yesterday's exhibition of a white man getting publicly pummed into partial unconsciousness by a representative of the hated and despised Negro race, must inevitably tend to fan the flame of racial hatred. Perhaps the best feature about the business is the fact that despite the existence of these feelings, Johnson was permitted to defeat Jeffries. That is at least a further evidence of fair play.

Cries of 1912 rent the air. Bishop Clinton got real zealous and promised him anything he cared to aspire to. The following excellent expression dropped from the lips of Mr. Roosevelt at the meet of the Negro Business Men in New York: "This league represents general constructive work for the race. It teaches you not to whine and cry about privileges you do not happen to have, but to make the most of the opportunities at your doors." Negroes must find their way into all parties or such parties as best represent their views on political questions. And more, if it becomes expedient to divide up the vote on no other grounds than mere expediency in the sense of making terms, it is the proper thing in view of the fact that sets of men find it expedient to array themselves against the party of the Negroes' choice, which in the reduction means the Negroes themselves. This when there is no sacrifice of principal in the sense of stultification. MORE MONEY FOR TUSKEGEE By the death of Mrs. Flora L. Dotter, who died at her home in South Orange, N. J., this afternoon, the bulk of her estate, estimated to be worth $1,000,000, will go to Tuskegee Institute, of which Booker T. Washington is the head. The German Hospital at Philadelphia will receive $10,000. Old John Brown of glorious memory is the theme today out West, at his old home, Osawatomie, Kas., where lay the scenes of his early activities in behalf of the freedmen of America. John Brown struck at his government, an offense, however, overshadowed by the blow delivered in the defense of the human kind. He will not be held up as an example of patriotism, for he was the chiefest rebel of them all. Greater yet is his place in the annals of men's affairs. He shook the chains of his shackled brother and the chank was heard around the world. Why was not he a Negro striking for his kind? If so, then come on history, poetry and song, bring forth another man. As a deliverer he stands first among mankind, excepting Biblical Moses, who also smote right and left in the name of God. Alas, John Brown could not deliver, but his intent and effort were not mistaken. And as it concerns his soul decision and effort he is accorded his high place in the affections of men. John Brown and liberty, thou art the same. A GREAT MEETING New York has a peculiar distinction anyhow, presumably because it is the metropolis of the Western Hemisphere, the entrepot and mart in a manner of the new world. One's "stature" is considerably added to when hailing from the city of "castles in the alr." Its reputation has long since gone forth and every man knows it. And when it went out that the meeting of the Negro Business League Convention would be held there, at once tone and distinction were lent in accord with the reputation. Then the promised extension of hospitality and cheer, such as the prodigality of little old New York could afford contributed towards making the New York meeting of the Negro Business Men's League Convention great. What, with the twin attraction of the occident, Messrs. Roosevelt and Washington, why how could the meeting have been otherwise than the greatest of them all? ROGER R. SHIEL DEAD A Man of Affairs—Friend of the Colored People. In the death of Roger R. Shiel, which took place last Monday morning at a sanatorium at Oakford, Ohio, the community loses a valued citizen, one who had been long identified with its business and municipal interests. Owing to his large individual interests by way of property and business, he was a foremost figure and had been for many years. He was respected and appreciated. Mr. Shiel fought with bravery through the civil war, at the close of which he came to Indianapolis. During the war he learned to have regard for the colored man, an easy thing, according to his large humanity. Until his death this regard continued, manifested in many ways. He gave employment, stood for them at the ballot box; acting with the party he thought responsible for the colored man's freed condition. In politics he was able and willing; seemed to love the thing as a cause rather than a matter of promoting political ends as they pertained to himself. If he were ambitions at all for office it were most moderate—the glamour of the politics seemed to appeal to him—a sort of glorious activity which complemented his nature. To a certain extent he preferred his own way in politics, a pardonable trait, since it was an individuality which in the business world caused to flow through his hands over a hundred million dollars, all subsequent to the war from which he came an undecorated soldier—merely an orderly. The fact that Mr. Shiel was a mere orderly, rising from an Irish lad of eighteen years with nothing to his name, without influential friends to give him a boast at "court" hence unbrevetted beyond an orderly is conclusive proof that amid the thousands he had to be a particularly bright and shining star—the same peculiar worth and determination were ever noted of him in whatsoever relation of life, toiling unseen of men, but who in the final account had to be reckoned with. Truly could he say, and did say it in a manner, "I have carved out an empire for myself which the praises of men can not widen nor can their condemnation make less." A little-egee here, and Mr. Shiel had it, as all should, to a saving degree. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS. Colored voters may as well make up their minds at once to divide up their votes. Long since the point was reached when they rendered the best service to the party and to themselves at the same time. It was when the Republicans were fearless in championing the cause of colored men, seeing to it that the Constitution with its more recent amendments was a fact in force and not merely a meaningless set of words. That time is now gone when the colored people had those who stood especially for them. And the pity is that the conditions remain fairly the same. Race prejudice and discrimination have not given away in the interest of that broad peace and civil sanity we like to think and talk about. Again we insist that much good in the past has been rendered the colored people through the vigilance of the Republican party. Not altogether the party, but the party allied with good men and women who allowed nothing to thwart them in doing good for this, another species of the humankind, whose fate and eternity were not different to their own, as far as they knew. But this onward march of the race somehow has been arrested, it seems. Prejudice and discrimination, like descending night, is slowly settling down over the land and with a certainty, it seems, as if directed by a master hand. It may not be so virulent, but it is malignant, baleful in aspect, because an assuring end is not promised. The race can ill afford to assume any fixed place in the affairs of this nation, hence it is necessary to avoid those things which tend to bring about this condition—civil and political calm, insensible to the law of change. A GOOD POST ABEGGING. The evening Post of Frankfort, Ky., recently had the following on the vacant presidency of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial school for colored students at that city: "State Superintendent Regenstein has addressed letters to Booker T. Washington and to other well-known Negro educators of the country, asking them to suggest a Negro for the post of president of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, located here, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John T. Jackson, and the refusal of A. E. Mayzeck, of Louisville, to accept the post." Well it's a real good sign if colored men and women are finding their way in other pursuits, like the white people, where the pay is better and where there's not that peculiar restraint that goes along with the job in most places. In the past, educated men and women of the race found it necessary to teach something worse; they preferred teaching. Now it is reasonable to think that all are not "called" for their line of occupation. School teaching is a sort of fine art, and you know 'tis said, artists are born. The exhaustive style of the school work of the day thrusts home the fact much sooner than formerly. This together with the persistent wooing of the busy world wins from the school room all, excepting those who must teach as the poet must sing or the painter delineate. The condition is not so assuring to our greater educational institutions, but it means race expansion. Other professions are calling. In the more strict business sense, banks, counting houses, real estate companies, insurance companies are demanding and with fairly the same pay as go to the white men. The newspapers are coming up also, requiring broad training, men who know things from every angle of observation. The unlearned preacher is becoming obsolete, an anachronism and more, a travesty, owing to the calibre of the instrument. By the hundreds yearly, men and not a few women are dispersing, threading their way in these more congenial pursuits. Institutions like that at Frankfort call for well-trained school men, and effort will have to be made to keep men in readiness, knowing what their work is as the preacher or doctor does, with some certainty and not altogether a thing of chance and caprice as the teaching profession has been. Men will not do a lifetime of preparing to take a chance if a certainty presents with much less preparation. INDEPENDENT VOTING. Independent voting is one of the means by which the Negroes will help themselves greatly in their struggle for greater recognition. Voting solidly, always against the white man, means that he will not forget to do his duty as he sees it when the time comes. We would have a country where one man equalled another and all that, yet we oppose one-half of the white race at the polls every election day. And strange enough, we expect these white men to go right along as if nothing had happened. And to be honest, in a way, that is just what many do; giving food, shelter, cloth THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. ing in spite of being fought to the finish at the polls. That kind of thing, however, is against human nature, and consequently it is no wonder that indifference and cruelty are shown elsewhere in civil and political matters. We have shown the same spirit of destruction, causing the men of other parties feel that their chances of existence would be slim if we had our way. George L. Knox of this publication and a few other colored men have long since taken the lead In this thing of independent voting. In 1902 at Anderson, in an Emancipation address, Mr. Knox took an avowed stand for independence, holding that the salvation of the race as it concerns its civil activity depended on it. He has not seen cause to change his views since that time, if anything, grows stronger in the belief that the time is now ripe when the colored voters should get away from the one badge—of Republicanism. The fact that colored men are not disturbed by the presence of colored men of other political views is proof that the race is growing broad and tolerant and in the spirit of self-defense. Here is that peculiar Americanism that has given our country its go. The one and only one party idea is a poor one for these times when white men are learning to present a united front to the race, and owing as much to the Negro himself, from a political viewpoint, as to the white man. On purely economical questions as it concerns municipal affairs, there is no reason to flock together. All men do not see alike; the difference of views should also be with colored men, and they should have the courage to do their part in seeing that they are carried out. Don't vote as you shot, but vote as you thought. JOHN BROWN Thousands Pour Into Old Osawatomi to Honor Memory of Abolitionist. OSAWATOMIE, Kans.—Not since that time, fifty-four years ago, when John Brown's men withstood ten times their number of Missouri guerrillas in the state, that number of Missouri guerrillas in the state been so exciled. Wednesday the celebration of that anniversary began. The town stretched itself for the thousands of visitors from all parts of the State. The town was called Theodore Roosevelt made the address dedicating to the State as a park the wooded hillside where the battle was fought. The battlefield, for half a century a peaceful pasture, where cattle grazed, was invaded and its turf trampled to the hardness of pavement by loyal Kansans who filled the maze of new pine benches under the trees and heard the speakers of the State's glory and praise its first here. Enthusiasm for John Brown. So much enthusiasm for John Brown has been awakened that a movement for a statue of the Western Abolitionist in Statuary Hall, at Washington, was started by resolution at Wednesday's session. "From boulevards o'erlooking both ny-anzas, The statued bronze shall glitter in the sun. With marked lettering: "John Brown, of Kansas: He dared begin; he lost, but, losing, won." This was the last stanza of a poem, "John Brown," by Eugene Ware, recited at the celebration by Miss Bessie Yeater. The prophetic inscription probably will be placed on the base of the statue, now proposed shall "glitter" in the Hall of Led to War of Rebellion. The resolution for the monument was prepared by George R. Morehouse, of Topeka, and presented by Major J. B. Wendell, who said he was a rela- tion to John Brown. It asks the appointment of five old soldiers as a legislative committee to urge the erection of the statue. He came here at Osawatomie, where the incipient conditions that precipitated the war of the rebellion began. It was here that John Brown, who had come out from prison, met the five men who organized his forces and began his fight. That Kansas, since that time when she struggled with herself as to which side she was on the side of the Union, always has been a turbulent State, unmistakable in her views and ready to take her share of the responsibility in any national question. In principal, of Topeka, the orator of the day. Mr. Waters even went so far as to say that was "Potomac's serious handicap that he was not born in Kansas." "Conceived in struggle, turmoil and poverty, he had no place in the war. He needed no accommodation at the breast of encountering all that is adverse in nature, the advancement of our people has been proportionate to their impediment. The spirit of Kansas holds the Nation." John Brown's Career. Summing up the career of John Brown, Mr. Waters said: "Measured by the little standards of men, he may have been insane, but in the avenging purposes of his life he was the most right a wrong. With a torch of liberty held in his unrelenting hand, he was God's own incendiary to purge the land with fire. John Brown sleeps, shadowed by his death, and his grave is a shrine. Misunderstood, reviled and despised, he lived a life apart from men, beyond their touch, possessed of one purpose, and died a martyr for its fulfillment." Mr. Roosevelt was first taken to visit the old John of Brown, then took part in a parade, with a military escort. At about 2:30 in the afternoon he was introduced by Governor Stubbs of Kansas, and made the speech dedicating the park.

Mr. Franklin, O., were entertained by them last Wednesday at Miami Valley Chautauquan. The outing was enjoyed very much, and after a sumptuous supper the family went to the hotel hostess by Mr. Hall's 60-horse-power auto. The evening was very pleasant, and each lady was presented with an elegant souvenir by the host. They returned to the hotel early in the morning...Company C. Ohio National Guards, under command of Capt. J. Ed. EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Special.-A white fellow by the name of W. O. Christianburg was tried and dismissed in the Police Court last week on the charge of criminal assault, said to have been committed upon the person of a colored female child, eleven years of age, named Jackson, at her home, 1115 Esquire street. It was shown that the man was an agent for one of the many insurance companies doing business among our people, and that he was the habit of "tooiling" with the colored girls on his route. The people are very indignant, both at the alleged crime and the fact that in spite of the evidence the accused was dismissed. Of course, as the police steps to take, and at present they are raising funds in the useless effort to bring him to justice in the higher courts. They have retained the services of a white lawyer to prosecute. The accused was, in the case of the man, mitten, in the employ of the National Sick, Accident and Insurance Company, as a collector. This company does a land office business among our people, and though this capital crime is charged, the police too little respect for the "Niggers" either to investigate him or to suspend him from duty pending the court's inquiry—they are simply going on raking in the money himself and sending his umbrella on his behalf in the name of our people to destroy and debauch. If the colored people had the courage and the common sense to meet this issue, they would have been able to avoid evil in a very short time. If, instead of hiring white lawyers to pretend to prosecute, who laugh at the Negro's simple-mindedness, they would wring from the hands of the poor, and of passing resolutions and holding meetings, they would cancel or destroy every company and by touching the white man's pocket, there would be such a force arrayed against the criminal by his own hands, that would be compelled to flee from their wrath. Alas, the poor Negro is ever found erecting fortresses behind which his encampment rests possessions. Every white vagabound, no matter how deprived or wanting in the first elements of decency, too dirty to be seen, he must be a street car, may always get a job collecting among the Negroes, with one of these companies. The Negroes have quite a few of these companies of that kind, among themselves, owned, controlled and directed by their own race, with clean, moral and politic standards. We will continue to patronize these white companies and expose our wives and daughters to the schemes and insults of the very deeds of hell. We furiously attack the Negroes. We open wide the doors of our homes that the serpent may trail his filthy slime athwart its threshold. We feel its venomous fangs piercing our flesh and then they may sheer desperation, to others for the antidote. The Palistine Commandery, of this city, has returned home from the Knight Templars conclave at Detroit, Mich. This event was attended by many, and came back covered with the highest honors. In the grand drill contest it was under the command of that famous drill master, the late John C. Moore, who prized awarded was $300 in gold and from the moment the first command was given until the men retired from the field, there was no one to take the palm. For many years Mr. Black has been their most earnest and conscientious drillmaster and his work upon this occasion beyond all praise. Palistine commandery has in every contest won some prize. --- The Parkland Chautauqua, conducted by some of the best people of the city, has closed a most successful meeting after a week of discussions. (1) Let Negro communities be clean, sober, cultured, intelligent and orderly; (2) Attend your church and have regard for the people of your community; strive to become a substantial citizen; (4) Let every family in Parkland take a good Negro paper; (5) Let us stick to our principles; (6) Organize the reopening; (7) Let parents unite to form and maintain a strong domestic government. The colored people of Parkland have been followed by every Negro community in the country. Dr. Lucian Smith, a young physician of our race, has recently opened a large practice, which keeps him constantly on the go. The colored grocery which was recently opened is also doing quite a large part in the Negro race of the whole country. Lead of and follow the example of Parkland. A number of prominent white citizens took out articles of incorporation last week for a society to be known as the Committee on Colored Evangelization of Kentucky. He is a church Church. The object and aim of this society will be for the uplifting of the Negro race in Kentucky. They will begin by establishing industrial classes throughout the State. He is always been a church friend of the Negro, was elected chairman of the committee.

Special to THE FREEMAN GOVERNOR'S DAY AT CAMP Concluded from Page One. bodies were observed advancing from western hills. Relative position of troops were inspected by mounted officers of the army. This inspection determined which of the imposing troops were the technical victors, because they reserved. Troops returned to camp. Such were the actions of the various regiments until the day of battle on Friday. There is much of the United States having war again soon. He saw Freeman's representative hopes to be "on the spot." While it has been had already to hear his father tell about the war of the 60's, the first time that he has had an actual observation of how armies get together and fight. The only thing missing at the Crane society on last Friday was the Red Crane society. Had bullets been used, we would seen a number of the graduates of Provident Hospital on the scene of battle. The army officers in camp were; Cantein H. J. Price, Captain J. M.A. Palmier H. Cainhers Herschel Tuples, Lieutenant W. F. Cloon, Tenth Cavailry, Colonel Glassford, signer of theutenant Philip B. Peyton. These were the men that spoke highly of the Eighth. And these are the men that know. The colonel's staff, major's staff, regimental officers and non-commissioned officers, hospital staff and band had the own mess table separate. This proved to be one of the best schemes ever. Many of the companies had excellent food that were furnished from the company's fund. There no buying trash from peddlers, for this was prohibited by order of the colonel. --- The camp was beautifully located amid a large number of high trees. The rubbish was cleared away and it soon resembled a pine forest. This was done by Captains Neilson and Frye in advance of the regiment. Not one cross word was heard on the grounds. Many of the boys went to the city, but nothing but good reports were heard from the city officials. Rev. Chavis told the boys the first Sunday they arrived the wanted them to be on their good behavior and instructions the boys carried out to a letter. ... One of the Godsends to the camp was the shower bath rooms. There were separate rooms for the officers and privates and plenty of them for all. There was no excuse for not keeping clean. Word was received here that people from all parts of the country were much interested in The Freeman containing an copy of The Freeman was left in the city of Chicago, so great was the demand for the paper. This week's copies can be found at all newstands on State street and by Montage, The Freeman agent. An attache of Col. John R. Marshall's quarters was C. A. Williams. He has been coming to the camp for a long period of years. He was very polite in dispensing fine cigars and refreshments to all the Colonel's guests. Sergt. William Berry of the Eighth Resiment Band was called to Chicago on Monday, but returned to the camp the following day. The Sergeant received numerous compliments as director of the band. --- Mr. Hagan, a prominent citizen of Peoria, opened up a stand for the boys and sold a large amount of refreshments in the way of soft drinks. Col. Marshall and his staff had a most delightful place for meals. The dining-room was filled with quilio bar. Meals served here were delicious. The "war correspondent" had the pleasure of messing at these quarters. He never missed a meal. George Patterson, regimental stenographer, won the commendation of all who came in contact with him. He is the United States Emigration Bureau, Chicago. Company F, under Capt. Pasew Arnett and Lifter Jane Jones, has the honor of holding two silver loving cues for marksmanship and company attendance. Company F stands out as one of the successful companies in the organization. --- Col. Marshall has shown a remarkable degree of d'plomacy since he has been a soldier of the National Guard. He has been an admirer of every Governor and is now senior colonel of the State Guard. The Clover that grew beneath the cross where Christ was Crucified Are you a lover of rare flowers or plants.

The Pekin Trio was applauded greatly and made a sound impression on the rear and coming down the isle to the stage singing and playing a selection which would serve well as a curtain-riser for any of the high-class showhouses anywhere.

It was on last Friday morning I thought that I would go With my old friend Elwood Knox To the Hagenbeck-Wallace show. They were showing out in Greenfield, I went to look the interurban car And went the day. What a glorious welcome we received What we there met the bunch! But the first Elwood Knox cried out Was "P. G., lead me to lunch." The luncheon was a fine one, And how we brothers ate! We came very nearly missing it. Because we got in late. And after lunch was over We went to the big show, Which certainly is a wonder As everybody knows. We strolled around the big top To see who we could meet, And 10! behold Tom Monahan Right up in the first seat. He had a friend there with him, A gentleman of fame; Perhaps some of you may know hom— Mr. Chappell was his name. And after the watch was over, We called on him in a body With Monahan in the lead, And Murphy, said, "Welcome, my dear friends, I have everything that you need." Then it was time for me to leave, I had to be getting out. I had to be getting along; I had to listen. I had to be doing what I had to. To that until I had sung, I sang. The cry was, "On to Richmond!" For that was their next stand; So Monahan and the bunch stayed on. For that, thought the trip would be grand. And after the trip was over And Brother Knight home again, He shook his head and loudly said, "I'll never do it again!" Kansas City (Kas.) Giants beat the Stars of Cuba in an eight-game series. The first game was played at Association Park Sunday, Aug. 21, before one of the largest crowds that has witnessed baseball games and the games that have brought burgers were there to root for their team, yet there were plenty who believed in the Cubans. Captain Jim Norman sent his men to the field and 4,000 people yelled their apprehension and the games and Figarola.

I wish to state that each and every man of the Giants is playing perfect ball. Asher Jackson, playing second base, has more than made good this season. The fans are wild about Asher, and he was showered with money more than once during the game. Asher is certainly playing the game. Lindsey, shortstop, is fielding perfectly and throwing like a rifle shot. Mr. Smith has discovered one more first baseman in Reed, and too much can have an effect. He is fine and is the best stick man on the team. Can they come back? Well, I should say they can. Dee Williams is the fastest outfielder in the business today, and West Wilkerson is fielding fine and killing them all. The Giants will open a series of six games at Ft. Riley, Kas, returning home Sunday and Monday to meet the Stars of Cuba. DAYTON, O., HOD CARRIERS WIN CHARITY STRUGGLE. The Colored Hodcarriers defended the White Bricklayers at Highland Park, 20 to 17, in their benefit game for the two hospitals. The game was close until the fifth, when the color boy broke through. As the color boy of the game the treasuries of the Miami Valley and St. Elizabeth Hospitals were each benefited to the extent of $17. Eats Defeat the Leans. A terrible battle between the "fats" and "leans" was fought last Sunday before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a game on the Marcos grounds. The score ended 11-10 in favor of the "fats" was very comical throughout. The "fats" were composed of men weighing from 200 to 250 pounds.

BASEBALL AT KNOXVILLE, TENN. Two interesting games were played in this city this week between the Coca Cola team and the Greenville (S.C.) Glants. The first game was played at the Coca Cola las, by a score of 4 to 1. The second game was won by the Stars, 12 to 3. The Coca Cola Stars will be in Louisville, Ky. They will be open for challenges from any Class A team until the 14th of this year. This date they will return to Knoxville for games during the Appalachian Exposition. Notes of the Game. Colonel Mitchell and Mrs. Mitchell were seen to be good toers. They were seated in Manager Mills, bearded and Mr. Mitchell attracted considerable attention with her diamonds, looking like a blaze of fire. Warmack, formerly of the Plutos, is playing the game of his life at first base for the Giants. He is sure some sticker. Manager Mills claims he has one of the strongest clubs lined up for 1911. Mighty far off, but this boy never talks much, and it pays to watch him. Jones' throw from left was a corker, catching two men in Sunday's game by a foot.

Chestnut St., Louisville, Ky The Stage. 6 A LIVELY COMEDIAN. I feel poetical to-day, and, therefore, rather than for any better reason, certain poems are more popular methods on the stage, or I may say before the footlights, carry our reveries through the poem with through the treacherous medium of memory, take a form like this: "There was a worthy actor who saw with grief and care. He and cared. His unattainable sleep, or—what was worse—elsewhere." "Next Monday, of his monologue, the words when he had said. He slid down the stage steps and stood He slid down the stage steps and stood on his head: By hundreds flocked the people, this actor great to hear, And the manager raised his salary to $50 a week for the year." As to the meter, that is as one may choose. But that the phenomena on this side was noticed some time since is shown by the remarks, about like this, of London Punch: "His antics amuse and his gestures design us Lee al like St. Paul, but he is like St. Vitus." In fact, the performer faces many difficulties to-day: it is hard to be interesting without being striking or picturesque, and it is hard to be these things without danger of losing the dignity that spiritual life places. Our profession has more severe problems in adapting itself to the conditions of our time. WM. H. BUTLER Belmont St. Pasacola, Fla. P. S.—Regards to Speedy Smith, Barbara Santane and Billy Reaves.

This is Prof. St. Clair's home and everybody is congratulating him on having such an excellent band. The concert was performed by Prof. A. Hughes is playing in grand style. When the company was in St. Louis it visited the well-known Anheuser-Busch InBev to play the band testes. A pocketbook and card case were given each member as a souvenir. The company also witnessed the ball game between the Chicago Glants and the St. Louis Glants at Athletic Park. The Eureka Lodge of K. O. T. attended the show in a body and was greatly pleased with Rucker when he plays the part of a president in a lodge room. The lodge gave us a banquet at the Chicago Glants and the Eureka Lodge of K. O. T. Mr. Turpin spared no palms in giving us a grand time. The Down in Dixie orchestra furnished the music. We left the Mound City with many regrets. Hope to see the band soon.

St. Clair. RICHARD AND PRINGLE'S SHOW. SWISS AIRDOME. The House of Hits—Dallas, Tex. We are still turning them away every night with the biggest and best show in the South. Where are they going tonight? We are going to the coolest place in the city, and you know good and well there is not another show in town half so good. That is all you can hear them saying all over the town. We are going to the latest show, "Austin's Troubles with His Wife," and from the way everything is working it will be a scream. Look out, Ed Wilson: things are getting better and we are going to let the ladies alone for a while or else. Miss Dottie Moby made quite a hit in Dave Lowe's Denver Town last week, and I must say Dot did very well for a small group. Miss Carrie Huff as a cowgirl did well also. How are the clubs, Carrie? Miss Nana McDade has joined our company and we have all the blues most of the time; outside of that she is all right. Never mind, Nana, George was nice. Never mind, Nana, George was nice. Montgomery, the leader, is very proud of her orchestra and she is trying to break all records in this town by playing all of the latest music. She sends regards (set) Hicks and also Frankie. Hello, Dixon. Stack Moore is still holding his own and pleasing them all the time with his singing and dancing. He it up, Stack; some day he will send you. Dave Lowe has been acting something out of his lines. Say, Dave, that last part it too heavy for you. It was all right for you but you would have done better if you would have stuck to your own language, but of course we can't blame you-for trying Bam Mobly made the biggest hit in his whole life when he put on the "Stranded instrelle." Well, Bam, every one knows got behind before, so you see it comes natural. How is it you are always telling some one about their necks and you don't try something new, you know good and well you need it. Dallas's long lost want has at last been answered. We have at last gotten a trap for the new boy, Fritz. Jack is all right, but the next time you go to get a job, Jack, that the head in your drum is all right before you start to play. Jack, did you ever try buying a toy, did you think you need one and Mr. Wilson says he would like to have the room in his office. Kid Rags is with us now and he is doing well for a new man. Kid you are a good boy, you know he is better than not the only seed in the lemon. Do some comedy, Kid, and you will make it. Will some one tell Frank Chester not to so much? He will do much better in Dallas if he will only keep his mouth closed. Reed, when you go to a barber shop and you want to get a haircut and then you will not have to go out to work. Mr Austin, our funny man, is having the time of his life now trying to put on the best shows in the State, and he is doing it all the time. Dixon. How are the shows in your town. GLOBE THEATRE, JACKSONVILLE FLA. The Globe Stock Company, under the direction of Tim Owley, offered to its patrons a one-act musical laugh, entitled "The Celebration of the Devil," the cast in this one-act playlet was one of the best that has ever played on the stage. "Mr. Jones," the Indian cigar sign, was one big laugh. R. V. Cross (poor boy1), as "Ucle Silas," showed himself a real colored shirt. "Mr. Jones," the Notsville College, proved to us all that she is a real character woman. Lulu Too Sweet. Zenobia Jefferson, Sidney Colman, and Waltas handled their parts with credit. CHE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. BILLY McCLAIN, THE LETTER WRITER To Whom It May Concern: I know that Billy McClain, more or less known to theatrical fame, formerly of the United States but now of Belgium, where he was a professor at theatres de Varieties," Brussels, Belgium, did write to this paper, The Freeman, of Indiapolis, a communication wherein he declared to him he had secured a divorce from his wife Cordella. He has written to this office again a letter which has just been received denying that he made such a statement. We presume that he has also made also the same denial as he did when making the statement. In defense of our statement some time ago saying that he had secured a divorce from his wife Cordella, we feel compelled to make statements now as proof of the authority we had for saying he had assumed. The assertion was based on McClain's letter to this office wherein he not only stated that he had secured a divorce, but named the cause, alleging specific conduct that he had committed an imprudent to publish, owing to the very ugly character of the charges. We did not think it necessary to help Mr. McClain de- A few weeks ago Mrs. McClain called at this office, knowing that the letter had been sent to her. We told her that one of her colleagues, a publishing do with the charges against her, publishing only the bare fact as advised by him that he had obtained a divorce. Mrs. McClain insisted on having the letter, but it was destroyed. She insisted his wife where she went when separated from her husband. She then insisted on knowing the contents and she was told. She then insisted that his wife to have all of his belongings, house, furnishings and jewelry, even a divorce if she desires, is nothing to us; it is up to them. All we wish is to make it clear that Mr. McClain is the owner of the Variety Theatre, Brussels, Belgium, did write a letter severely impeaching his wife's character, also declaring that he had secured a divorce from her. Very respectfully, ELWOOD C. KNOX, Manager of the Freeman. BLACK PATTY MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY. Fifteenth Triumphal Season—Open at Passaic Opera House. The Black Patti Musical Comedy Company opened their fifteenth triumphal season at the Passaic Opera House in Passaic, N. J., Thursday, August 11, to an overarching audience of 10,000. The company aroused the show bids fair to be the grandest effort ever put forth. Jolly John Larkins is ruler of the mithmaking department, and with his character, Mr. Jerry, he is a prominent mediated and with no apparent effort convulses them throughout the show. A valuable acquisition this season in the company of Mrs. Jerry Glenwang Larkins as subbette is the jerking appearance of the show. Her sunny disposition, smiling countenance and artistic work and singing places her easily in the front rank. "He is a great again," is acting in the capacity of stage manager and general understudy and as his qualifications as a performer is known everywhere no comment is necessary regarding working with him. He proves a formidable foil for his popularity extracts the best work of all, a rare compliment in his position. H. Morgan Prince is playing "straight," and with his Broadway dress and consolation he proves a formidable foil for the comedian. The "Trip to Africa" is embellished with new scenery and stage effects under Master Mechanic Earl May. The songs are new and gorgeous. The management has exercised rare judgment in retaining the services of Prof. D. L. McGraw, the founder of the musician of great merit and his congeniality compels all the members to exert all their energy to respond to the commands of his baton. A. A. Mitchell, Madam Sisslerette, Jones, thrilled the audience as only an artist can and was forced to respond to deafening encores and easily re-established herself the queen of song. Her costumes this season are adorned with exotic fabrics she has worn and exites no little admiration each time she appears on the stage. Mr. R. Voelckel, owner and manager, has spared neither pain nor money to assemble the ensemble in the history of colored theatricals, and as his business methods are of the highest order and looking for the welfare of his people is his motto, too much praise cannot be given to him, and gentleman. This is the beginning of the usual trans-continental tour. CAST OF CHARACTERS Prof. Smart, Principal of the Long Creek College. H. Morgan Prince Miss Diah Green, a teenager. Jennifer F.

The Russell-Owens-Brooks stock company playing them and to On last Thursday I visited this playhouse and watched the fifty-minute laughing man and watched the fifty-minute laughing man, Billy Owens, by Billy Russell and Billy Owens, supported by Speedy Smith, Billy Reeves and about a dozen others. After that was over I figured that the show was over, but instead I watched the show, which he called "Henry", and the way he made those 500 people laugh was awful. I learned later that his name was John Woods, Well, I was not sure, but in a singing and dancing turn. He looked to be about ten or twelve years of age. I noticed in the lobby as I came in he was billed as Master Tommy. A great boy. He was a very funny person, all twenty-minute afterpiece was thrown in for good measure that was as funny and clever as anything like it I ever saw. It was a very funny show. So was Speedy Smith, John Woods, Miss Pauline Crampton and Miss Theresa Burroughs. The longer this company remains in the city the more I learn of them. I learn from Mr. Carter that this company could have been a great company, Mr. Russell and Mr. Brooks depend on themselves to produce new shows every week. I thank Theresa Burroughs, the dainty little soubrette of the Russell-Owens-Brooks stock company, left Monday for New York City to visit her mother and will be greatly missed. She is a wonderful woman and Miss Burroughs has been with Messrs. Russell and Brooks all winter in Florida and came to Richmond and Norfolk this summer with them. When asked if she would be back, she said she would be prised that I should ask. Said she: "Why, who could blame me for coming back? Living on the sea shore in summer and Florida in winter; two shows a night; no time to watch the day shows. Oh, go! guess I'll be back." ALLEN'S TROUBADOURS AT THE SKY: DOME, NASHVILLE, TENN. Allen's Troubadours are in the seventh week at the Skydome. The company has broken the record of all colored stock companies of today. A complete change of dress for the skydome and dren's matinee every Friday. The same stars and actors of Allen's Troubadours with their new songs and funny sayings, have been added to the company's seventh week as they were at the opening of their engagement. They receive many encores and applause with every movement, act songs and dances that are so lively and exciting that nothing but praise can be heard for the company upon the streets of Nashville. Allen's Troubadours is the talk of the town, and their acts and funny sayings is the best in the city. The Skydome is packed from pit to dome every night and matinee with the highest and best society people, ladies, gentlemen and businessmen. The company presented a big musical production entitled "The New Floradora Swells." Three big numbers in the ollo, closing with a big low comedy force entitled "My Couisir." From the skydome, the company starts to finish. This week was known at the Skydome as ladies' week and many valuable presents were given the ladies and in all it made it the best week in the his- The entire company is well and happy. On account of some pressing engagements that were made early in the season, Mr. Allen is forced to take his company on a road trip to some of the great engagements; but everybody in *Allen's Troubadours* says they hate to leave dear old Nashville, for we have certainly had a good time here, for we have been living in the city for a long time to a champagne banquet. So I guess that's going some. The entire company sends their best regards to all friends in and out of the profession. *Troubadours* is as follows: G. W. Allen, Madam Lazelle Allen, Mamie Jackson, Jim Dixon, Lew Perkins, Bethel Gibson, Susie Williams, Zella Gibson, Willie Owens, Ed Davis and Frank Amos, the mascot of the school. *Troubadours* is Dudley and wife, Kenner and Lewis, Billy Earthquake, Silm Henderson, Williams and Stevens, James Crosby, and Mr. and Mrs. Kersands. Why don't you write me and say, "I'm going to the "Kitchen Mechanic." I see in The Freeman that you are cleaning up with it. All old friends write me, also all managers of colored theatres write, for I have the our small bunch of actors on the road, the small group. 325 Eighth avenue, North Nashville, Tenn. NAVASOTA, TEX.

WEST BADEN, Ind.—When the Dallas team took the field ‘Tuesday of last, welt their practice was nothing short of ‘sen- sational, but when ‘the game was ended there was quite a difference, as the Spru- Geis showed the boys some. selentifie points about the game. Jacobs went, Rest for the Giants and put the first ball pitched forty feet out of “Old Brown's” Way, but the little star made one of the most phenomenal catches of the season Dut of ie and started the day off in a SRorran.”” “Dismukes, the new © recruit from, St. Louis, was’ on. the mound for the Sprudeis, and showed some form by holaing the Giants down to four hits and Riso getting two hits to his eredit, when there were only four hits made off Block during the game, Bingham, the old re- Hable. also put the wood oh the leather and was In-the game by getting two hits.

Ben Taylor, the younger brother THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. of the famous ‘Taylor brothers, was on the mound for the Sprudels, and held the Giants down to three hits.’ He also had six assists and struck out four. Geo. Johnson can well be said to have, stolen 91d Dad Jobnsen’s good name as “Home Run” Johnson, having swatted the pea for two more home runs. Jerome Lewis, the big second sacker for the Sprudels, sure can add this game to his credit, hav- ing put the ball over center field fence in the fourth inning, with one man on base, Ben Taylor was the master of things during the rest of the game, and held’ the boys hitless until old G. John- son came with his homer.

" Clark was the star of the day, and showed the Sprudel critic, “Richard,” that he was ready for fast company. Clark has had a litle slump. in his bat- ting here of late, but he showed he was back in form by ‘getting two doubles and asingle. “Red Horse,” who pitched such a fine game against the Sprudels the day before, relieved Block in the fifth, but it was certainly to his sorrow, as the Spru- dels had on their batting clothes and hit him for ten runs. ‘The score: RED.
