NUMBER 38 AFFAIRS PLAIN TO EVEN TO THE UNTRAINED EYE To the Republican Leaders- Negroes Will Split Votes—Dr Parkhurst Speaks of Belt for Champion—General Notes. BY CARY B. LEWIS. (Bureau 2333 State St.) Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, Ill., September 14.—The political situation in the city of Chicago deserves more than a passing mention. It requires no more than a politician to struggle for leadership either among the old-line Republicans or the insurgents. The right is a hot one among the white politicians, it is equally as boiling among the colored leaders. This has been demonstrated during the past week or so at various political rallies. The white politicians will take place Thursday of this week, and this day will decide whether the "old guard" will continue to control or the insurgents to have the up- The situation here is similar to that in all parts of the country. It seems that this is insurgency year, and it remains to be addressed. We have the city office to the Democrats or not. In this fight "The Negro is in it." Several prominent Negroes are lined up with the insurgents or anti-regulators, and the independents are running a candidate for county commissioner and the State Legislature. It is everywhere admitted that these running for these two offices are being sworn in. Say what you will, the situation is alarming to the leaders of the G. O. P. With Ed Wright, Hamilton and Editor Hunter on tour during his lunar visit, the department is reported to be done the Republican party locally. It must be admitted that Ed Green has a splendid organization. He is with the insurgents and well known, and has it, is said many a friend. Frank Hamilton is popular, and, it is believed, will make a good fight. Our herees are lying up with the idea of Hon. Geo. L. Knox, publisher of The Freeman, on the stand of voting independently. One enthusiastic admirer quotes from the Freeman editorial Sep. 14 that 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 Nairobi himself, from a political point of view, is a purely economic questions, as it concerns military affairs, there is no reason to挤 together. All men do not see alike; differences of views should also be with him, and the course to do their part in seeing that they are carried out. Don't vote as you want, but vote as you thought.* While we are fighting and valued in the colored race in the city of Chicago who are Republicans and have bed and are now holding office, others who are Republicans from choice and印制 office are hundreds here that are interested. Among the Democrats are Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, "Jim" Miller and others argue of their connection and make arguments of their relationship with Democrats. Speaking of the local situation, Mr. Miller says: "I have every reason to feel that the Democrats are going to win this next week. We are going to win their vote more this year than ever before. His vote will be felt in the districts where the are the most densely populated. The Democrats are in the most populous Negro in every department. The Democrats put on the first colored fire department, and now there are only six men in the Republican administration. Negroes are going to win nationally and they are going to do the same this fall. You may say for me that they will pull a heavy vote during the voting election and will divide just like the * * * For styles and fashions Chicago is one of the leading cities in the country. This is no place for shabbiness of dress. We here certainly go some, when it comes to the street. While it is the streets, the women are usually well dressed, and at social functions they go the mobble skirt and the loop skirt are all the rage. They are made of the finest materials and exceedingly stylish. We know not how they are made and what they are made of, but other follows that they "look good." We notice with the coming of the cool weather that browns, mixed weaves, navy hues, grays and blacks are worn a great deal. Sooth effects, rattie, serges and moires having their day. From our viewpoint, this will be the year of the tailor-made. Stylishness does not only belong to the women, but also the men. They are "tired to sniff" when it comes to looking like a tailor-made suits, blue and black with brown as the predominating color. In Chicago is a leader in styles for both the men and the goods. The "brother" is "there with the goods." --- Dr. C. H. Parkhurst, who contributes regularly to the Chicago American, delivers a half column on Jack Johnson and the $3 million diamond belt that is expected to be given to a champion. Dr. Parkhurst states that the money and investment be more to the advantage of the race, but he says further: "To be sure, the distinction which he has gained is not of the highest order, but it is not a disgrace, but an honor, to be able to be a superior, exceptionally superior, type of a development. And Johnson has done that." A good many of us may well wish that we could him in point of a thoroughly robust body, even though we might prefer one that is frescoed a few shades lighter. He may have been taking in Johnson for his race to be proud of. "They may have no representative that could stand alongside of representatives of beauty, or mental acumen, or intellectual culture, but they have shown that they have a man that very white whites would with muscle, and that they must be too harshly criticised if, having few among them that are remarkable for any kind of superiority, they make the most of an instance when it occurs. A very charming theater party was given last Friday night at the Pekin Theater with muscle, and that they must be too sociag social circles occupied boxes and were served a dainty menu after the second performance at Mott's Inn. Those John R. Marshall, John L. Frye, Miss Maule Keys, Baltimore, Md.; Mrs. Chas. Pickell, Washington, D. C.; Miss Essex, Lucie Lindsey, Essie Arnold, Willie Hart, Indianapolis, Ind., and Elliore Curtis. The Rev. Cook, pastor of one of the leading Methodist churches, is receiving numerous letters, urging him to think seriously of running for a bishop at the next General Conference. Mr. Sam Frye, one of the popular young men of the city, has been at his home, Fort-eighth, and Wabash avenue. Reports come that he is much better. Miss Elizabeth Slaughter, the popular milliner, will have her opening on Saturday of this week. The cool weather has caused the people to forsake the parks and hunt for their wraps and overcoats. The theaters along the river will do a booming business from now on. Mr. John W. Hardy, president of the North Fork Coal and Iron Company, who is an adoring fan of the Lexington Fair or Lexington to attend the Lexington Fair. Mr. Hardy stated that his company would have an exhibit at the fair and would tell The Freeman all about it. *** Many strange things happen right along in the city of Chicago. On Sunday, while being removed from her hospital, Mrs. Brush Stavacos, twenty-one years old, gave birth to a nine-pound baby in the ambulance of the East. On the same day James Hale, aged fifty-five, committed suicide by turning on gas in his room. Later, another man committed suicide in jail by using a belt that was despondent over a quarrel with his wife, and did not want to face trial. During the coming campaign, it is reported, the young colored men of the city are going to assert themselves and take an active part in the fall elections. There are also people who are deserving of rewards, if they would only take an active part in civic affairs, said one of the old-line politicians, as well as Major Frank Denison, who aspired and were successful. One of the duties of the young men, continued their strength, push the men that are deserving and don't stand back. It is claimed by those who know that both parties will need the assistance of the politicians, Mr. Geo. M. Teeters, of Kansas City, Mo. has been in the city for a week visiting friends. He left Wednesday for his home. The many friends of Montana well known in the city are the Tennesseans who are regretted to hear of his attack of hemorrhage on last Saturday.

Smith, 4528 St. Lawrence avenue, for one week. Miss Lillian Crutchfield, of Indianapolis, Ind., who has been in the city for several weeks, has returned home. Mr. Wiley M.

SMART SET COMPANY IS BIG HIT ALL WEEK (Thompson's National News Bureau.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 7.—The Smart Set, the race's leading road attraction of the season, nominally successful engagement this week at the New Howard Theater. The company embraces forty talented people, and are presenting a revised version of the set, including the role of Honor, the Barber." With S. H. Dudley as chief funnaker and music by James T. Brym, together with artistic stage effects by W. H. Lytell, the piece will be one of the best drawing cards of the year. Mr. Dudley's effervescent humor is constantly on top, and he has never appeared to better advantage than in his role. He will be one of the best ambition in life is to shave the President. He has several splendid musical numbers and his comedy is of a brand peculiarly his own. His interview "Mr. Patrick," continues to be a taking feature. Assisting the star are three of four "top liners," who are entitled to the role of the star on the stage, the best dancing comedienne on the stage, received an ovation at every performance. She has three strong numbers in the cast, including her child's dress, pleasingly reminiscent of "Pickaninny Days"; a beautiful terpsherian specialty, "Porto Rico," in the second act; and a picturesque musical, "The Thief," by Jesse Me Shine, in the third act. All three of these productions are by that popular and accomplished song writer, Ford Dabbs. She is also the director, see that they were properly put on and that the orchestration was all that it should be. From the repeated encores at the hand of the star, audiences, and finished interpretation, by Miss Walker, they bid fair to be the music hits of the show, Miss Ellis Anderson, and Miss Merry Widow in "Consolation Lane," and Miss Widow Brown. Her gowns were stunning, and she looked every inch the part. Andrew Tribble, a Washington fan, affinity, with a naturalness that stamps him as the best impersonator of female comedy roles in the business, and the fact that he was on the stage. His customers were up to date, and his "hobble skirt" was a wonder to behold. Mr. Tribble was given a big "hand" nightly, as he made his appearance, shared honors with Mr. Dabbs throughout. A surprise was the singing of Miss Lillian Brown, of Philadelphia, who possesses a voice of pure prima donna quality and a sense of the beauty of the music. An ease and grace that made everybody predict for her a brilliant future. Miss Brown is working in the chorus, but there is no doubt that stellar honors await her. She is a fine and beautiful woman. Wheeler Wilson: "Miss Lottie Grady as 'Lily White'." James Lightfoot as Weltington White; William Ramsey as "Moose Lewis" and Grumman as "Moose Lewis" filled out a cast of exceptional dramatic and musical merit. Miss Grady's rendition of "Rubbernecking Moon" merits especial mention, Mr. Dudley was the only one to have a music of light, "I was a tremendous hit, and gave his unctuous comedy full play, but there is an insistent demand that he retain in his repertoire that hayy 'get-up-up' and 'get-up-down'." He has a fine and hearty, never weary. The lion, the bear and the monkey, played by Messrs. Will Everly, George McClain and John Warren, respectively, were to join the乐团. The band made music of their situations. The great strength of the "Smart Set" of the 1910-11 season lies in its chorus, which is well-balanced, and sings with a blend that delights the audience. It is not just the single, the soloists and each of the climaxes are positive triumphs of melody. The stage management was in the competent condition, and the band's performance in unapproachable style. The show has drawn capacity houses all the week, and the heart of that splendid manager and the 如歌如乐 of the 1910-11 season has been made to overflow with joy. The engagement was the best that the "Smart Set" has played here, and has been a great success in the management fixture in the dramatic and social life of the nation's capital. The Independent Order of St. Luke, through its officials, has purchased the office of the Thirteenth and at the corner of Thirteenth and U streets, northwest, at a cost of nearly $7,000, and the office of the Fourteenth and headquarters. The location is in the heart of the best colored section of the city and the purchase price is regarded as very reasonable for so desirable a corner. --- The Washington Commercial Council, an organization of the capital's leading business and professional last Friday evening with a farewell reception last Friday evening at 11:30am. Mr. Anderson, 1918 Eleventh street, northwest, in honor of Mr. John Anderson Lankford, the president of the council, who departed the next day for Wiberg University to commence his professional mechanical arts and civil engineering in that celebrated institution. He will also have charge of the machinery division and will be visiting the university that are to go up on the college campus. Mr. Lankford is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute and has served as an instructor at Shaw University in North Carolina. Mr. Anderson is a graduate of Ala. He carries the degree of master of mechanical science, conferred by both of these schools and by Wilberforce. He was a graduate of the school in which he will now labor. Mr. Lankford is the pioneer architect of the race, being the first Negro in the profession, and of that profession and to devote his entire time to architectural work. He has been in Washington since 1900, and has more large structures for the great Negro community than any expert. Principal among his triumphs is the True Reformers' hall in this city, which at the corner of Twelfth and U.S. streets was illuminated that section of the town and made it possible for Negroes to own fine homes which they would never have secured but for foresight and characteristic enterprise. He founded the first branch of the National Negro Business League in Washington, and last winter formed the Washington Business League in 1884, a national, commercial and civic betterment of the Negro people. It has been a pronounced success and embraces the ablest of the Negroes. It has been a most strict, taking front rank as an organization for really constructive work. To go to Wilberforce University in this respon- dation, he was a member of the University of a gratifying recognition of his great executive ability. It is the oldest college for Negroes in the United States and is controlled by the African Methodist Episcopal Church. At the reception Friday evening Prof. William Jenifer, of Texas, chairman of the committee on arrangements, called the assembly to order and after pronouncing the meeting, that the meeting be held in the work of the guest of honor, introduced Mr. R. W. Thompson, the Council's corresponding secretary, as the toastmaster. He was also the head of the conference, sponsored to toasts and paid high tribute to the splendid career of Mr. Lankford, wishing him abundant success in his new field of work. He was a excellent man, the Municipal Court; Hor. Ralph V. of the Auditor for the navy department; Th. John C. Dancy, former recorder of deeds for the District; Dr. John P. Turner, T. R. W. Thompson, and Mr. R. W. Thompson, L. M. Hershaw, Prof. W. H. H. Hart, C. R. Richardson, Oliver Randolph Rev. James D. Pair, W. Preston Bayless, Dan- Gwathney, and others. A dainty and toothsome luncheon was served by Mrs. Grace Lucas Thompson, assisted by Miss Lucille Nooks, a fairy- taker, and the present wife of the present wife. Mrs. J. A. Lankford. A toast to Mrs. Lankford was gracefully spoken by Judge Terrell and all drank to the health and health of the guest of honor, as well as to the hostess and her obliging helpers. Mr. Daniel Freeman, owner of one of the finest and best equipped photographic studios in the country, and first vice president of the company, J. A. Lankford as president of that body. He will make an efficient and progressive leader. Mr. Charles Banks, first vice president of the company, J. A. Lankford as president of the Mississippi State Business League, spent several days in the city following the New York meeting of the board of directors by his charming wife, and both renewed old acquaintances and made a host of new friends during their all too brief sojourn at the capital. Mr. Banks proved to be a strong supporter of the National Medical Association by reason of his unique career as a pioneer town-builder, a pathfinder in the business and business of roads to the national independence of the Negro people. Mr. Banks is the vital force in the government of that marvelous Negro city, Mound Bayou, Miss., where he is the president of the senger agent of the railroads are Negroes, and where all of the business is carried on by men and women of our race. The great cotton oil mill now approaching the commercial oil mill is the duct of the engineering genius of Mr. Banks, as is the prosperous bank, of which he is cashier. The Bank of Mound Bayou is the largest enterprise of institutions in the South and "clears" at sight with the principal banks of New York, Atlanta and St. Louis. It is able enterprises of the race in the vicinity wield difficulty, and with Mr. Banks, is the motive power behind the moving of the finest at the Memphis markets, the largest market for that staple in the world. Mr. Banks is the right hand man of Dr. Booker T. Washington in the management of the National Negro Business League, and is the trusted friend of the founder of Mound Bayou, Hon. I. T. Montgomery. In 1900 he was one of the two supervisors of the census representing the U.S. State of the State, and was a special agent of the census, having the naming of four hundred and eighty-seven enumerators and special assistants. In 1908 he was a delegate to the national republican convention, and was a member of the committee appointed to notify the Hon. James S. Sherman of his nominations for his president of the United States. His speech was of the highest degree, delivered on that occasion and attracted favorable comment at the hands of such eminent republican leaders as Senator Chauncey M. Depew, Governor Hughes and Congressman Olcott. A recent honor conferred upon Mr. Banks was an election of a secretary and treasurer, the Mayor's chief of the State, the State of Grand Lodge of Masons, succeeding the late Hon. E. Perkins. This is the wealthiest organization controlled by Negroes in the State of Mississippi, and disburses annually a sum of money for the benefit of the widows and orphans of the Stringer Masons, besides paying thousands of dollars in the money. In the order, Mr. Banks is an honor to the race and there is no distinction which his neighbors and friends would withhold from him if it were within their power to confer it upon him. Rev. D. Foster Davis, "militant soldier of the cross, lecturer, orator and humorist, will probably be formally called next week as the pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, to succeed the late Rev. George W. Lee. Dr. Davis will preach his "trial sermon" next Sunday evening. It goes without the saying that the spacious edifice will be crowded to the doors. All of the Baptist ministers in the city have been invited and a big delegation is expected from Richmond, Dr. Davis' home. It is safely predicted that under the efficient pastorate of Dr. Davis this time-honored institution will enjoy an era of unprecedented prosperity. 2 What Every Woman Ought to Know Every woman knows that nothing is more annoying or reflects more upon her reputation as a careful housekeeper than rats, mice, cockroaches and other pests in the house.

Flat pocketbooks are "all the go" after the summer's vacation trip. And Bishop Walters simply smiles as he gazes upon the gory field. The National Negro Business League is still unvexed with the "pint of order." The New York meeting of the National Negro Business League was "the best ever." Theodore Roosevelt is right. Property rights are much, but manhood rights are more. The sixty-two Negro banks in the country are indisputable evidence that "we're risin'." One of the very best antidotes for the lynching fever is to make sheriffs, mayors, chiefs of police forfit their jobs whenever they surrender a prisoner to a mob. Bishop G. W. Clinton is to direct the tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington through North Carolina in October or November. It bids fair to become of the most significant of the entire series. "Close corporation" methods have had their day in Washington and elsewhere. They need to lead must take the people into their corporate headquarters are foredoomed to failure. Mind this! Again Washington and Walters are "golden" the university two new students who have received the solid gold decoration of the Liberian Republic. They are two of Afro-America's noblest sons. Wealth is a sign of thrift, industry, economy and business sagacity, but it must not be a finality, if our highest moral standards and loftiest ideals are to be preserved. Money is a means—not an end. The people who are in charge of the proposed 1913 exposition want to "get a move on them," if they hope to toop off a chunk of Uncle Sam's coin in promotion of the same. A hint to the wise is sufficient. M. M. Lewey, editor of the Florida Sentinel, Pensacola, Florida, and owner of one of the largest and most complete printing companies in the South Carolina president of the National Negro Press Association, is "the right man in the right place." His "here luck to 'B. T.' who is taking a much-needed rest on the other side of the big pond. He will "come back" stronger, broader-visioned and more experienced in the working out of life's great problem than ever before. In proof of the claim that Alexandria, Va. is still on the map, the next session of the Guild on the map will be to convene there on the 20th of this month. The Alexandrians should hail them as "Good Samaritans," indeed. Ossawatomie, Kansas, is now famous for more things than the site of the gallant stand of Old John Brown. With the help of the nation's marching on, the nation finds the sturdy personality of the living Theodore Roosevelt. The contest for grand master at the Baltimore meeting of the B. M. C. will be a "battle royal." It is a matter of congratulation that whether the lucky man be Asbury, Morris, or Jones, the G. O. of O. F. is certain to be capably served. The average Negro thinks more of a single line in a white paper than half a column in a paper conducted by a Negro. Now when a white man asks how anything can be seen he seeks the information from a Negro journal, or asks a trusty colored man. Mississippi, Florida, Arkansas and Louisiana are "going some" with their strong and progressive State Negro Business Leagues. What is the matter with Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and the backs of the United States? Dixie is setting them a fine example in the art of how to bring things to pass. The Washington Herald seems to be getting "out of the way" to appease macy' issue. It says: "It is to be hoped that no Caucasian person will imagine it is up to him to vindicate the white man by shipping Johnson in the fist arena. Our idea is that this is one white man's burden that need never be picked up." A well-known salary merchant of Washington has had so much trouble retaining the services of young and pretty clerks Sixty-two banks controlled by Negroes is the report up until this time. Knoxville, Tenn., is to have a foundry that will employ only Negro labor. Owing to the prejudice in Oklahoma, Negroes are leaving that State for Mexico. The oldest bank owned by colored people is said to be the Dime Bank, in Kingston, N. C., established in 1882. With the recent opening of the Presidential Savings Bank, of Birmingham, Ala., that city now has its third institution of the kind for and by Negroes. The friction heater by C. S. L. Baker, of Chicago, has been introduced on several railroads; thousands of cars are being heated at a great saving over the former method. Hon. Alexander Lane, colored, present member of the Legislature from the First Senatorial Council of Chicago, will not be a candidate for re-election to the next General Assembly. W. P. Perkins, of Willis, Tex., has a patent for a groove system of railroads, which looks to be a good thing. Negotiations are pending for its use on some of the big roads. **Booker T. Washington is now in Europe, where he will study the problem of the "man farthest down" with the view of securing information first-handed for his forthcoming book.** The first Afro-American ship is advertising from Los Angeles for passengers for Liberia, Africa. The new steamer Rupert City will be launched by Nov. 1. Rates low as per advertisement. E. M. Bannister, the Negro artist of Providence, R. I., received $1,000 for his painting, "Under the Oaks." It was purchased by the late John Doff, the railroad capitalist of Boston. The artist died a few years ago. The Leland Giants, sometimes known as the Chicago Giants, claim to be the Chicago team's greatest. A challenge has been uttered by the managers to the effect. The claim is supported by $1,000, all comers acceptable. On February 9, 1907, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the race's greatest poet, breathed his last. He has been all for the race, and he wrote his last poem for his Christmas book, "Howdy Honey, Howdy," just before Christmas. Edward J. W. Faten, a colored caterer of Baltimore, Md., being a widower without children, left on his death recently the whole of his estate, amounting to $15,000, and a farm of 500 acres for the establishment of an industrial school in that State. It is estimated by a writer in the Banker and Investor Magazine that the Negroes of the United States have $300,000 in the banks of the United States. In one bank in Washington, D. C., alone, they have more than $500,000. The United States has acceded to Li- --- RACE NEWS. and stenographers in his office that he has felt called upon to advertise for an assistant who is "too old to love, and who will settle down to work," and who would like to help our good friend out of his dilemma, but, notwithstanding our wide acquaintance among the ladies, we know of no one who, in our opinion, "too old to love," and hence will not meet our requirements. Mr. J. C. Napier, Tennessee's favorite son, deserves well at the hands of the federal judge Judge Taft when friends were few among the Negro people, and turned minorities into majorities for the man who now occupies the presidential chair. Mr. Napier makes his convictions, and spent his money to promote the welfare of the party. It is now up to the republican party and its allies to make the reward due a faithful and result-producing fellow worker. Negroes who have been moving steadily to Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Washington and New York and congestion has reached apples orocculent pears, he doesn't care rap about the color of the man who owns the orchard. Delaware has a Negro population of about 40,000, and there is ample room for 10,000 more, who will meet with a warm welcome just before Noah D. Thompson, manager of the Tuskegee Student, the Messer and other Tuskegee publications, struck off the promise of already helpfulness of his presence is distinctly noticeable in the promptness and accuracy of the service he is controlling. Thompson's long experience in business at the State Express Company in Chicago, eminently fits him for this work and he is a valuable addition to the hustling staff of Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Scott could not have found him, but congenial night hand man" than Mr. Thompson is preparing himself to be. The finest home owned by a colored man in the United States, all things con- sidered, is the home of G. Elbert in Wilmington, Del. The building is a magnificent type of the colonial, and has spacious grounds extending back the length of a city block. It is in the heart of the city, and the site the county court house. The mansion, which was purchased by Dr. Elbert several years ago and thoroughly re- covered, is the home of the estate of the famous Bayard family, the "prince unto the manor born" in the State of Delaware. Mrs. Elbert dispenses open-handed hospitality here with the grace of a queen of the realm. Little Rock deserved to have the next meeting of the National Negro Business Association, and his faithful band worked like Trojans for their victory and everybody was glad that they "brought home the bacon." Little Rock will show her contemporaries the beauty of the city, and the hospitality she will dispense will be worth traveling many hundred miles to enjoy. Besides those who will come to the city, the next year will be especially helpful to the people of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Kansas, Missouri and Florida—states that have heretofore been distant from the "seat of war." The polished and high appropriate speech of Bishop G. W. Clinton, expressing the sentiments of the National Negro College, and the inspiring address of Former President Theodore Roosevelt was one of the finest bits of oratory to which it has ever been our pleasure to listen. The eminent prelate bellowed the words bore the impress of absolute sheer tenacity in a conversational tone, yet there was eloquence in every sentence—an eloquence that carried a deep significance and tense conviction of war all who heard him. Colonel Roosevelt, away with the speech and noted each expression with unfeigned interest. The country is proud of Bishop Clinton's ability to lead the nation's umbo "come back," the Zion leader will carry a latch key of the White House offices. Every doctor, dentist and pharmacist who attended the Washington meeting of the National Congress will come an active booster of Howard University—and there's a reason. The kindness of President Thirkield and his sassiness granting them the freedom of the Howard commanding site in the District of Columbia—was enough to win the everlasting gratitude of men of stone—to say of such warm-hearted and appreciative leaders as the race's greatest scientific organization. beria's call for assistance. One million five hundred thousand dollars has been raised to the Black Republic by United States dollars and fifty thousand dollars will be used to pay off a debt contracted a number of years ago while the balance goes for internal improvements. At the recent convention of the National Press Association in New York City, the following officers were elected; President, M. M. Lewy, editor of the *New York Times*, encausola, Fla.; vice president, N. D. Brassard, recording secretary, Horace D. Slatter, Hopkinsville, Ky.; corresponding secretary, R. W. Thompson, Thompson's National News Bureau, Washington treasurer, Dr. L. G. O'Connor, Louisville. The following information is good, if true: Major Taylor, of Worcester, Mass., S. A., was made president of one of the cities of Paris, France, and is on a farm to become wealthy. Mr. Taylor was for several years the world's champion cyclist. His gentlemanly conduct while there won for him the admiration of all France. Taylor is an Indianapolis boy. Nearly 1,100 delegates from various states of the Union filled the convention hall at the Palm Garden, and nth the elevator of the Negro Business League was called to order. There were bankers, newspaper men, lawyers, physicians, clergymen, dry goods men, druggists, and, in fact, representatives of the most esteemed endeavor—a body of men who took themselves and their callings seriously, and who discussed them not only with insigne, but with eloquence and humor, knew in gatherings of business men.

AT WILBERFORCE COLLEGE Prof. Scarborough Makes Address at Opening Fall Term. In the few opening words that I propose to address to you at the beginning of the session of Wilberforce University, for coming back to the early years of myself as the emphasizing only a few points, as thoughts to leave with you for encouragement and possible inspiration. The educational world to-day is turning its attention more closely to the individual, the making of worthy human beings, to intelligent race culture, to recognizing the worth of both heredity and environment as factors in this world. The whole world of schools are being considered more and more as safe investments to bring about the best results, and educators everywhere are asking what to best to be done, be able to live in the world and how best to prepare for it. True educators are always seekers after truth, and to-day they are endeavoring to make school and practical, just for the people who must with wider fields of knowledge. To-day we have advanced far enough to recognize the great well of truth in Ruskin's words: that he who works with his heart only to work with his friends, and the who works and head is an artisan; and he who works with hands, head and heart is an artist. Now, to be an artist in all that is implied, we are here as Ruskin uses it, means a great deal. It has reference to far more than being simply a form-maker or a colorist in the general sense. What is mean by the term "the man" is the truth of the world, and the time a man is a man who developed along the lines of the good, the true and the beautiful, and by this development are enabled to discover and produce the good, the true and To my mind there is no greater thing than to have such training that the human soul blossoms out of the grazed and combined, so as to lay hold of all that goes to artistic character building for a race. We, as a people, need this training. We must have leaders of thought, teachers of truth; and there is no other way to obtain such except by this all-round training being given to our students, sigited, but penetrating as well. We must change much in the race and we must learn in schools how this is to be done. We must teach our students to plish this. The untaught, emotional masses must be made over into educated, serious, reasoning beings, for our salvation as a people. We must our curse how this may be done. I repeat, then, that our institutions of learning must be the centers where we may lay the foundations for race buildings, to teach children how to us into true artists, built up from the best models which the training of head, heart and hand can present. I can conceive of no greater thing. I say again, than that this should be the land. From the primary grades through the highest universities of learning. To such work our institution, Wilberforce University, is committed. Wilberforce University is dedicated to day for day the work of the whole man—the heart, the head and the hand. We lay here special stress upon the fact that the future of the Negro people depends almost entirely upon its trained men and women himself. We own leadership of strong, sturdy character, who are to take the lead in shaping its destiny. More than ever, the Negro must depend upon himself, look to the own leadership for guidance God forbid that this should be other than a wise one—the very best along all lines that the race can afford. That is asked for our boys and girls is that they be encouraged to make of themselves all that they can be for good; that they be allowed to climb, untrammeled and unhampered, as high as possible, with all their strength, with all their experience outside, with here and there a word of cheer and an occasional helping hand, that they may work for the social betterment of our country. Somewhere it is told of those of the Orient that five hundred years after the death of Buddha, the historical founder of the religious system of Buddhism in India, we have been covered that set for the eight fundamental and eternal principles of truth. They were given as follows: Right views; Rights masses; Right professions; Right judgments; Right applications; Right memories; Right Writings; Right meditations. Now it seems to me that much can be learned from Buddha; and that if we look at it closely we see that we have here, in the young people who to "square themselves" for the making of that true artist who is to be rightly educated so as to be able in turn to help others. So, as I see it, if the young people who to "square themselves" with these eight divisions, they are on the high road to a successful life—they are becoming master builders for self and the race. I feel very certain there can be nothing of more worth than to strive for this. This is the purpose of our university life; we are extending to the youth adequate means for the intellectual upbuilding. We ask the young people to remember that a teacher is able to "square themselves" to control, to control, to give security, to increase usefulness. We that brains must not lie idle any more than hands, to urge one and all to see to it that some intellectual course be pursued, unless one has come here already equipped with that training in sufficient measure to specialize. But here also the hand receives that instruction that gives mechanical skill in the various industries; and every youth and hand must be trained. This choice should be carefully made, however, and then there should be brought to bear full determination of purpose to be chosen one of the class best. This skill who takes up an industry. Every step should be mastered and one should be able to put the industry to practical use when a carpenter to graduate who cannot miter corners exactly, any more than we want to graduate one from literary courses who cannot speak English in moral urprightness. This artist that we are striving to make here is to be an all-around model when we are through with him, and so hearty and strong in our culture, as we say. The Bible and all that we make our strong foundation. Here it is that the founder of Buddhism has given us strong teaching which squares itself with the world. We would emphasize the idea of "right" in everything as a governing force from within and from without. If we can get the heart right in the student body, a very well done part of the work of shaping lives well is done. And this brings me to the point I wish to place before you last of all. These young people are here to be educated—to be molded into the artists described, who will go out to make the world better by their lives and their teachings. We are here to teach it how to live well and how to get the most out of life that is really worth while. Our young people have no time to lose—to be more productive. They are here to learn to look seriously at life from this standpoint, and, as I have just said that the training of the heart is the most important part of a day of greed and graft it is absolutely necessary to guard well one's personal honor. Dr. Rhees emphasized this idea as the central point in his baccalaureate address to the students, and seems to me that it is most fitting that we emphasize it at the beginning of university life. He defined honor as "the man's bow of respect to himself, his measure of virtue, and his soul." I am sure I could not better that definition. The student who does not seek to guard his honor in everything from the heart to the soul, the "spirit's supreme treasure." We read of "honor"—how men have fought for it, and how chivalry is the expression of virtue in the heart, but glory is too much in the act. What is needed is that we make its concrete pos- session our own. I would, then, have every student stand upon honor at all times from the beginning of his career, and to the end of the time they would have the daily strengthened. This lengthening, the concluding thought. Looking upon the work here committed to our care as rest- I would be a very kind of honor. I would have even to self-alone. We are our brother's keeper, and the student is ex- at least the student of the school's future. I remember that life's first social duty is found in the school's life, and the spirit of service—the spirit that calls for the strong to help the weak. We have now had the long-term time to be easy for the young who has said that it is as good to be weak. With this thought in mind we should know that honor and social service call for this helping of the people. They are strong, both by example and precept. We all need to do the right way to the path of the strong. Only thus can we build up here a great school—what we do is what its students are—what they make to the end of their direction and guidance. Such a school we aim to make Wilberforce University. As a task in conclusion that students are now faculty of learning, the school has to be a school year in setting the standard high for self and others, that they help all possible in this all-around training of head, body, and body. It has to be a program and women in out of those who come to a life and lives and characters shall be made most beautiful and helpful because they are holding close to the highest of which the human soul is capable. (Extracts from an address delivered by President W. S. Scarborough at the opening of the School School, 1910.) University, Tuesday, September 1910. THREE GREAT FRIENDS OF THE NEGRO. To the Editor of THE FREEMAN: Sir—Dr. Booker T. Washington encourages me to hope that possibly you may in the future be able to visit the end of the eighteenth and early in the nineteenth century three great workers for the emancipation of slaves, to visit the Wilberforce, Zachary Macauley and Henry horton, lived at Clapham, near London. The reputation of Wilberforce is worldwide, but comparatively few know the names of the two friends, who were not one whit behind him in work for the slaves. Macauley indeed had more practical knowledge of the sufferings of plantation workers than either of his friends, slave trade than either of his friends, early life he had been a bookkeeper on a plantation, and had subsequently taken over the farm and later information at first hand. He described the crucibles practiced on board and the futile efforts of some of the slaves to escape by suicide from their threatened fate. He was a friend of the frall health, but his great philanthropy led him never to spare himself in the cause of humanity. In his house, which at one time was a large garden, he attended conferences on the abolition of slavery were held, and he threw himself heart and soul into the cause. Not long ago this historic house was raided by the Abolitionists, which was formerly gardens and fields where the Abolitionists walked and talked over their plans, is now being rapidly covered with small houses, involving a popular garden. There has never been any adequate memorial to the three men, who, as friends of the friendless, conferred fame and honor with the Abolitionists. To Wilberforce there is indeed a monument, and to Zachary Macauley a tablet in Westminster Abbey. To Henry Thorton only his name on a tablet and tomb in a disused churchyard at Clapham. It has been said, perhaps not untruly, that the emancipation of millions of the hindu population as the greatest event in the world's history since our Lord preached the gospel on earth. It is now proposed to put a church, to be called the Redeemer, in the neighborhood where the slave emancipators lived and labored. It has occurred to me that Negroes might be interested in knowing that the emancipation of the slaves is honored in England, and also that possibly some of the descendants of freed slaves might like to show their sympathy for the emancipation building on the site which has been secured. It is a case where possibly the cents of of the many would be more appropriate than any of the millions, any of your readers would care to help in this matter, any contributions you might forward would be most gratefully received and acknowledged by Canon Erion, the emancipator, Ramsden Road, Balham, London. I am, sir, your obedient servant, A GRANDDAUGHTER OF HENRY THORNTON. PARKERSBURG, W. VA.

After the—well, what kind of inti- lelligence shall we call it?—from Maine, politics ought to pick up at any old date. A new theatrical venture of class in the interest of colored people of this city is proposed. Bring it right on; been looking for it. Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, is spending several days during his European visit as the guest of Andrew Carnegie at Skibo Castle in Scotland. Golden sunshine minted into money, was the way they put in concerning Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the Indiana State Fair, owing to the bright blue weather. Our colored people of this city and of the State are beginning to take interest in the great Indiana State Fairs. This is as it should be. Formerly the opinion has been that fairs savored of farms, and being opposed to the latter, where would the fairs come in? The residents of a district in Hamilton county report to Dr. J. N. Hurty that the school house had not been cleaned since the closing in the spring, and that tramps and other "birds" of passage had lighted there from time to time, hence the necessity. The teacher ought to get there in the middle of the week previous to the opening. The Harry Wallace Club has "surrendered" its charter and passed out of existence. From all reports the expiration was by no means voluntary but an unconditional surrender to "General" Judge Collins. In the defense Harrison, the manager of the club, maintained that it was run just like the Columbia Club. The judge couldn't see it that way. He set it down as one plain case of "blind tiger." It was rumored that in the very near future a new theatre will be built on Indiana avenue, and which will cater to colored patrons. The well-known firm of Dickson and Talbott, the successful managers of playhouses, it is said will build the new theatre. A new playhouse that would be in every way worthy of the patronage of any and all has been contemplated. It was not known that the Dickson and Talbott people were interested. It may be as rumored; we have no information to the contrary. We say in advance, however, no matter who may put on the new theatre, that if it comes up "clean" it will be able to get the business. Many of the colored people are tired of being "overseen" in other houses, and want a home, no matter how humble. TEXAS LEGISLATURE WORKS FOR REPEAL OF FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT. AUSTIN, Tex.-The Lower House of the Texas Legislature by a vote of 51 to 34 instructed senators and representatives to work for the repeal of the fourteenth amendment to the Federal constitution conferring franchise upon Negroes.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Special E. P. Maris, Civil War veteran, school teacher, minister of the gospel, and a real leader of his race, has passed beyond the twilight's purping hills and left us to memory of a brave and unglory world who has prolated a circle of stance of life "dare do all that may become a man." He was courageous, kind, benevolent and forgiving. He believed that the other was the science of the race, with all its marvelous achievements, had only started upon the course of its ultimate triumphs in the arena of life. He was optimistic and would not be discouraged by all the adverse legislation and would be impacted by the impact of the negro. He knew that above and beyond all human laws were the immutable laws of God. He was large of heart, generous of soul and with a dishonestness of the power subdued by its disinterests, he poured out his affection for all mankind, regardless of race. Throughout his long, laborious and useful life he was the champion of the world, the legacy of his love for pressed. A thousand times has he proclaimed the personal creed of his everyday life, by saying "Let all the ends thou almost at by the country's God's life." Then, when you first, last, the fullest he blessed martyr." To this doctrine he subscribed and he taught it on a hundred battlefields, in the hospitals of pain and death, in the rude log schoolhouse and in the pulpits of the churches. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Tolbert and Mrs. W. H. Marshall, of West Walnut street, have returned from a visit to their friends and the guests of Mrs. Henry Roberts, of Vernon avenue.

Robinson, of the Christian Church, left last Monday for Knoxville, Tennessee, where he has fallen heir to an estate valued at $5,000, through the death of his father, who would excite the envy of Jack Johnson. The John Brown Club met Wednesday night at 308 Center street and completed its permanent organization by electing officers and raising funds to secure larger quarters. An old soldier presented the club with an ancient looking Huntington armor the "perpetual Ferry." He claimed that it was taken in the raid by John Brown, and it will be put on exhibition.

Pottiern, of Washington, D.C., in the city stopping at 809 West Walnut street. The Rev. Herbert McClelland, a colored minister, sued Patrolman Mullivan D.C., in the city stopping at 809 West Walnut street. This week, charging that the patrolman assaulted and killed a new pet near Broadway, and then falsely arrested him, the minister states that he was on his way to the church or the station, where a pastor, who was on duty, charged that the patrolman, without provocation, rushed across to htm, assaulted and beat him, took him to the station, where a pastor, who was on duty, charged that the patrolman, without provocation, rushed across to htm, assaulted and beat him. He declares that he was dismissed in the police court the following day. For the purpose of discussing provisions to be made for colored patients at the new City Hospital, a committee of leading Negro physicians and surgeons met with the hospital commission last month to correct the errors in the monthly session of the Fall City Assoc- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. ctation of Physicians, Surgeons and Dentists endorsed the hospital project and were invited by the commission to meet for four evening queries as to the provision to be made by the general physician. The result of the conference was that the colored physicians were highly elated and pledged their enthusiastic support of the million-dollar bond issue which will be made available to the patients in the fall election. The commission decided that while separate provisions would be made for white and Negro patients in the hospital, the commission would also, and that suitable provisions would also be made for such colored people as might be able to pay for accommodations. The colored physicians requested that the commission be made available to nurses in the negro wards, where the patients may wish it, but as this is an administrative matter, not within the jurisdiction of the commission it was requested to meet with the commission was composed of Dr. Sol Stone, Dr. E. D. Wedebe, Dr. J. Merchant, Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore, Dr. P. Flack, and D. R. Hallard.

News of the Sporting World CHICAGO, III., September 14.—It was a lucky day for the Chicago Giants last Sunday. They won everything in sight. They outplayed, outstretched, and every day they played. The Park and It was a double-header and one of the largest crowds of the season saw the two interesting games. It was Williams that won the game, off the diamond with his colors flying. The two victories decided second place in the Chicago League standing, with the Chicago Giants winning 10-4. None of the other League teams were in action on that day, and the two games brought out a very large crowd, with 11,000 fans. The grand stand, bleachers and boxes were crowded, and every one seemed to take an active part in *hurrying* or *squealing* at the crowd, Louis B. Anderson were chief rooters, and hundreds of others were with them. All the candidates for office, it was said, were seen shaking hands with their constituents. "Cyclone" Joe Williams was the whole show, twirling some of the best ball of the season. The white boys could not find the first game. In the second game, which went eight rounds, he was touched up for seven raps, but he had such a lead that the white boys only made two runs, while the other players extended himself. Williams and Pettus were stars with the willow. Williams got two doubles in the first, and many, many hits in the second. Winston came clean and the other players extended himself. Pettus made a double play in the second inning, and Wallace got a two-bagger in the same inning. Mike Moore made a splendid catch and a circus steal home. Both games were fast and interesting.

Bob Welch's men tossing in errors at bad times also. Johnny Taylor twirled for the Giants and was slammed hard, but kept the wops well scattered. The hitting of Danny Pettus was the feature.

BASEBALL NOTES Walter Ball, the champion pitcher of the Chicago City League, is laid up with a bad knee cap. He claims that he is playing well and will be able to play Saturday or Sunday. * * * * Capt. Nate Harris and his men did some fine work on last Sunday. They showed that they are full of their old-time fire and vigor and that none of the other teams of the city have any edge on them. "Rube" Foster and his men are in the East. They expect to be gone for several weeks, and will later go to the South. Captain Gilkerson and his Union Glants arrived in the city Monday. This is the team's thirty-second year. They played 42 games on Saturday and Sunday. Harvey and Jessup pitched two no-hit games; Jenkins pitched two one-hit games. On last Saturday and Sunday they played 42 games. They pitched 8 to 4, the second to 0. At Madison they were met by Mr. Peterson, the owner, and brought to Chicago for a rest. They left the state of Wisconsin. The line-up; Ramsey, first base; Gilkerson, second base; Parks, shortstop; Jackson, third base; Jones, left field; Jenkins, right field. Lee, center field; Jessup and Harvey, pitchers. Green has established a reputation as being one of the best coaches hereabouts. He does not mince his words when he says, "Go! Go! Go!" The Chicago Giants will play Saturday and the St. Louis Cardinals will play them. There will not be many more games. A HOT GAME. St. Louis Giants Win Out. Special from St Louis Mo. Special from St. Louis, Mo. Special from St. Louis, Mo. and away with the Orphan Boys (white), runners-up for the pennant in the Missouri-Illinois Trolley League. The Giants won as they pleased, making it three out of five for the pennant. They loaded to the gear, having katz, of Columbus, O.; Comstock and Patton, of the St. Louis National League Club, through courtesy of Roger Bresnahan. Another big difference was much talked of the Memphis Tigers, headed by Bill Washington. The Giants fairly curried the Tigers' tails and at no time were the boys from Memphis dangerous. They played the Chicago Giants thirteen innings last Thursday, were tamed down by the St. Louis boys in a hard-fought form, but the bats of the St. Louis boys brought in use at the right time. This boy Mills is sure the limit—a good talker, a good sport and in fact the right boy in the game. He is good his boys play, he is the same little jolly fellow. He has a host of friends and is one of the kind that appreciate good-fellowship. Give us a few more like this coming from a bank messenger to a successor park manager and manager is mighty nifty for a lad. Giants ..... 1.30 4 0 2 0 0 0 1 R. H. E.

Everybody looking towards the Chicago trip of the St. Louis boys. They surely will make things hum on State street. Taber, at second for the Giants, seems to have been the hero this year and we have seen all the kids. Dude Lyttle is a corker. Mills made a ten-strike in grabbing him. I am sure he Hewitt! Do you notice how Mills threw this boy comes to the bat? A sure bet. Warmack at first. Enough said. Winter, master of THE FREEMAN? We sure miss him. Wake up, Jones. Harrison is on the bench. Th ebows are going mighty fast, Th Murray played a sweet game at third. Green, you are all right, boy. Do this sass, chicago, and there will be another story to tell. Chicago-bound in a special sleeper will the St. Louis crowd go. Go as far as you like. Mills, the town is with you, and surely proud of you.

The West Baden Sprudels played the Chicago Giants four hard games, which were defeats for the Sprudels in every game except the last one, and that game was a slug feast. The Sprudels out-hit the Giants in the last game, and two or two of the Sprudels could not be accounted for, as we had never seen such weed base running done by these players before. **Giants** 6-Score: R.

The Giants had been easy on the Sprures in the three days, and as this was their first game at all, they would show the Sprures that they luck broke even. The game at all, but luck broke even, game was called on account of darkness, game being 5-6—a tie in 13 innings. Score: R. H.E.

Umpire The feature of the game was the batting of George Brown and James Taylor. Brown in six times at bat made one arricure, three singles and one two-base. James Taylor, out of six times at bat, was the only one two-base. The home run was made the tenth inning with two runs on base. That is going some. S. D. DICKINSON BENTON IS BACK Everybody was delighted in the return of Benton, the famous twirler, who had with Louisville Cubs during the season and pitched against the All Stars, the white chanter Dayton. Benton pitched wonderfully, fanning even all Stars, and with the worst of them the Marcos easily defeated the All Stars, winning 9 to 2. The players of the Marcos Boots, c; Benton, p; Grisby, ss.

The J. R. K. game that is heart-breaker. The boys from Indianapolis can certainly play some ball. West really pitched ball Sunday, only two hits in the pitch. Little William gift-edge ball. Wallace and looked play the game that is bound to win. In fact all the boys played good ball. Following is the score: R. H. E.

Wallace played a great felding game. Rodgers is still a good, reliable player, going after everything, and a gentleman player at all times. He is great, having perfect control at all times, striking out eight men, and he did not give a base on balls. I guess that is pitching some Martin seems to be at home on the first sack. You are working for yourself, old fellow. Watson is still playing the kind of ball that wins. His fielding is perfect and he is batting like a Ty Cobb, and base running. He leads the team, with Watt and a close second. Woods is swatting the ball in fine style. If he would use a little more judgment he would be a wonder. Emory takes to right field the same as a duck to a dough pile, throwing out runners on bes hits from right field seems as easy to Jim as taking candy from a baby. Keep at 'em, Jim, old boy. Capt. Griffin did not have anything to do with look was a and watch his boys bring home the bacon. By the way, Griffin is the most popular player on the team. His gentlemanly conduct and fine ball playing have won a host of friends. Little showed the fans that he can really catch. Too much credit cannot be given to the little fellow. That's right, old boy. Keep in the game going for themselves they play ball. Keep together, boys. Don't forget the Keystones next Sunday. Game called at 3:30. YOUNGSTOWN.

CHICAGO, IL, Sept. 15.—The seven musicians at Mott's Theater, under the direction of Prof. Oliver Perry, are the talk of the city. They are playing nightly some of the latest music heard at the down-town theater, and they are also heard if one wishes to hear some real good music. Mott's Theater is the place. Augmented with these excellent numbers on Monday night were six bills that were written by the band Jack English, the hoo-rolling "king," was a knockout. It was our good forume to see Mr. English and his wife three years ago in Louisville, with the "Black Pink" company. They were good then, and are much better today. Manager Sam J. Corker, Jr., made no mistake in securing Mr. English for the Pelican patron pattern. He was also wooden hoops and he does wonders with them. "Every chick and child" seemed pleased with this performance. As he touched the chick, he drew closer to move with life and obey his every command, performing impossible evolutions speedily and with accuracy. English has a marvelous act and a big bit of fun. Then comes his wife, Mrs. English is heralded as "Queen of Light." She is a most attractive looking women and her costumes are pretty. She does the serpentine dance, rainbow, electrical ribbons and a drivelift fashion movie. Her stage is the "lighting." In her dazzling creations are seen portraits of all the great men of this and other countries, including Booker T. Washington and Hon. Fred Douglass. Clermonto and Minor in "Dem Black Dragons" was and was colored by that, just reached the city to the Washington. C.C. where they played for a week. They sang into songs and danced. They were well received. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lancaster was a musical act of a novelty nature, and the playing of Mr. Lamberton on the new was very clear. The husband made a lightning change from a black-face minstrel man to a soloist with a clean face in two minutes. For real classy acting the McGinnis Brothers were the real thing. They were far above the average singing and dancing conditions that they had been on the "stroll." They were very good and went big. The Henry and Alice Taylor Co. was the big number of the evening. Mr. Taylor balanced anything of the lightest and heaviest nature on his nose and forehead. The wife proved to be an expert sharp shooter and was so good as all the showing from the gallery, breaking small whips with a rife, the bulbs hanging from the stage. The Grand The Grand opened Monday night with a crowded house. Barton and Taylor opened the bill. It was a new one and it had a xery warm reception. The first night re- ceived the number with clapping hands. The straight man sang "For the First Time Call Me Sweetheart." The comedian was loudly applauded after singing "Aint Goin' Let No Body Make a Fool Out of Me." Goodloe and Goodloe, of Louisville, were compelled to make a return engagement. They had new costumes, new songs and new stuff. Goodloe got off a soldier stunt that was amusing and funny. Mrs. Goodloe sang "Aaint Nothing Doing in the Loving Life" and then the chorus. She has just enough ginged her songs and actions to make them go and they—and she sends them flying. They leave next week for the Lyre, at Louisville. There was Madam Dempsey. She is that dear, sweet woman that has a clever act. Don't wake her up when she gets happy. She dances all over everybody, and when she sings "Back, Back to Kentucky Where I was Born," maybe the house don't roar. She danced so Monday night that her $1,000 ear rings dropped out of her ears. The novelty act of the evening was the Famillade. They were a hold-over. It is well to note that they were gone much farther than merely singing; they make some very good music from several instruments that they have mastered. The Monogram. Manager Kline claims that he always has a good bill. Well, the way they pack his house he patrons must think. So Young and Taylor must also have a long instrumental selections, also a following. The bill was opened with Taylor and Taylor. They are two clever dancers from the Falls City, and have won all the prizes in the competition. Windy City. They sang "Till Go the Route for You." "Next to Your Mother Who Do You Love?" and on the last song they dance and dance artistically. At the evening and a hit wherever they go was Henderson and Thomas. These are the two young men that mean business. They have the "goods with them" and they are not ashamed to push themselves from the front, as one boys said. They got it by singing a strel band" and use "If He Comes, I'm Going Out" and other good numbers. They are side splitters and took big. On Monday night, their misfortune on Monday night. On their way they lost their trunk, but it was received on Tuesday and Tuesday night they appeared in all their glory. They sang "I Want One One Carrier" and "Barbers' Ball" and "Alba My Sweet Potato." All in all, the Grand has a good bill and with the cool nights that are in store for the season, she will have crowded houses; an entertainment that is well worth it. It is reported that Miss Elvira Johnson, late of the Chocolate Drops, will be attending the rate she will be an attraction the next week. Stage Notes Miss Lizzie Hart has returned from the cities of Louisville and Cincinnati, where she has been making a success in stage life. Were you surprised that she was a big hit at the Lyre Theater and was also charmingly entertained. Mrs. and Mrs. Tom Brown passed through the city Sunday and spent the afternoon at the Pekin Theater.

C., Sept. 15.—"The Smart Set," after playing all last week to capacity houses at the New Howard, is filling another marvelously successful engagement in Baltimore. The mass media in attendance are the students of the B. M. is adding materially to their audiences. The people of Washington are sild praising the management of the Howard for their business sense in securing so talented a company as "The Smart Set" thus early in the season and are hoping that the new project will be being made for a later period. The company made a wonderful impression upon all who saw its work, and especial commendation is due Mr. S. H. Dudley for the generous opportunities he is giving the clever men and women associated with the new project. In the short Walking Back, Ella Anderson and Andrew Tribble he has a trio worthy to shine as co-stars, and he does not restrict them in any way from getting all the glory they are capable of garnering unto themselves—and they do get away with the country's only money to intelligent industry and conscientious attention to the details of their art. Yet, in allowing each of the principals every inch of the spotlight to which they are entitled Mr. Dudley does not suffer by comparison. He has always held his own with the best of his experience, the Negro character and abso-sluref� mastery of his many humorous situations, and place him easily at the head of his special line of acting, and his laurels are in no danger of falling into other hands. He takes a just and praiseworthy pride in the development of the world. He is to his credit that, while being the barclays of all life, he has a well-preserving stands out with a brilliance that admits of no dispute as to where the stellar honors be.

Address Kersands & Dixie Minstrels Tulsa, Oklahoma. WANTED! Comedians, straight men, leading ladies, soubrettes, chorus ladies and gentlemen for the Fall and Winter season. Address Wm. H. Smith, Mgr., Howard Theatre, Washington, D. C. long. Mr. Dudley's comedy is clean and wholesome and his naturalism appeals to the student and the sociologist as well as to those who wish to laureate. He is a comedian of the rarest type, but a manager and producer of the highest quality. Mr. Dudley can mind a hole far more ambitious than any other comedian, not too much to say that in a few years Mr. Dudley will be found in the ranks of the best performers delineated in the class represented by Nate Smith de DeWoer per and the late Sol Smith Russell. Mr. Dudley is stronger this year than ever before, and his strong aggregation by which he is surrounded. Miss Walker has a part which fits her like a glove and never appeared to such excellent advantage, and Miss Lottie Grady had added immensely to the prestige she has been gaining as an ingenuine. The company is adveniently located in the setting and expensive. The music is in a high grade and the numbers without exception are rendered with a skill, precision and enthusiasm that speaks with equal eloquence for the artist and for the stage managemen- tors. The Smart Set" is out for the very best season of its long and prosperous career. Ford Dabney, the author and composer of Miss Alda Overton Walker's three musical masterpieces in "The Smart Set," is interested in composing plaintive and produces of melody, from New York last week expressly for the purpose of seeing to it that Miss Walker's songs and dances were in accordance with the composer's own style. Mr. J. T. Brymnn was "there with the goods," and the orchestra was flawless. In "Golly, Ahl't I Wicked," Miss Walker has been asked to play the piano, like asked as her "Pickaninny Days" and her dressy masculine impersonation "That's Why They Call Me Shine," is one of the finest pieces of work that has been anywhere since Miss Walker's debut with her Miss Walker's "Puerto Rico" quartet and dancing will take rank with her "Salome," in effectiveness, without the gruesome historical significance of the latter. It is understudied, but Miss Walker's head to head a company of her own next season is still on foot. The singing of Mr. Dudley's new discovery, Miss Lillian Brown, is the talk of the town. Miss Brown has a voice of bird-like clearness, of remarkable range and power, and her interpretation shows careful study of the music and the musical art. Miss Brown is the first "lucky find" of the season and she will be heard from in a grafting way in the future. Miss Maggie Davis, of "The Smart Set", is a bride, having been married only last week. She is the daughter of a known dramatist. Miss Ella Anderson, the "Widow Brown" of the company, was also united in marriage recently to a prominent less man, whose name escapes us at this time. ```markdown ``` Clarence Cameron White is to be the star of a grand concert next month at Lincoln Temple, and will be the principal attraction in another brilliant musical festival at one of Philadelphia's principal opera houses. His Washington engagements Mr. White was a special card on last Sunday night's sacred concert at the New Howard, and added 16 his already rich cluster of laurels. Miss Lottie Grady's "Rubberneck Moon" made a hit with the "Whistling Rufuses" hereabouts. Ford Dabney's Theater at 9th and Ustreets is crowded nightly at all four of its performances, and the show offered is invariably of the best quality obtainable from the stage. The show is a great show of the new. M. Dabney's personal popularity is a big factor in the success of the house, but he is indebted in no small degree for the tremendous following the theater has won to the courteous, shrewd and palestaking man-مسلمanship. Theater at W. Gambay has known the business from the ground up. This week the cultural Miss Minnie Brown is filling out the fourth week of her return engagement, and seems good for as many more, as her drawing power shows no signs of waning. The show was presented to repeaters, including the new performance, rendering in exquisite style a romantic selection entitled "Pearl of My Life, I Love You." The merit of the song is best attested by the fact that the words are by G. Luther Saddam and the muster was the most important. While the White Two of the capital's most skillful composers, The song is especially written for and dedicated to Miss Brown by Messrs. Sadgar and White. In addition to Miss Brown, this week's bill includes George Hamilton, "the little black man," and Miss Sara Venable, a clever singing soubrette and dancer. Miss Ferrietta "Tintor" Davis the race's premier elocutionist will rest a month or so at home, prior to undertaking her trip to London and the European continent. Park 5 Her new "Book of Recitations" is selling well and a second edition is in preparation. It is to be introduced into the public schools of Iowa and the Paludan town. Miss Davis is planning to put on a strong production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" next June as a fitting adjunct to the proposed celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Boehner Stowe—a movement fostered by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. Miss Davis will be seen in her familiar role of "Eliza Harris," doubling "Cassy" in the last act, and it is probable that the veteran Samantha will be vaulted upon to appear as "Uncle Tom," a part in which he has achieved enviable fame all over the country. Miss Madeline Cooper ("Kinky") is in Norfolk. The Lincoln, on 7th street, near S, has reopened for the fall season. George E. Battle, the capable pianist and singer, is at the Minneaha. Coleman L. Minor, the black-face monologue and singing comedian, is doing a catchy stunt at the Maceo.

C The bill at the Howard Theater met with great and well-deserved success last week. It was composed of Queen Dora, the famous singer and electrical dancer; Marrarrn and Nugent, the conductor; and English, the hoop-rolling marvel who is the greatest colored performed of his kind on the stage. Libby and Trayer presented to the audience a symphony of satire; Rose Fox was good, but the Little African Knights were the best pair of singers and dancers seen in this city in many a year; the amateur and gymnast extravaganza, were thrilling. The Darktown Trio, and Brown and Delk in a singing and dancing turn. The entire bill was quite an improvement over last year by keeping up to this standard in a short while the house will be playing to S. R. O. The splendid improvement of the orchestra under the direction of Professor Will O'Donnell, former instances he has proven himself master of the situation.

RICHARDS AND PRINGLE'S MIN STRELS GLOBE THEATER, JACKSONVILLE The Globe patrons were greeted with a surprise last Monday night. The surprise was Tim Owsey, also produced by himself, and well acted by the Globe Stock Company. It is a fact beyond a doubt that Tim Owsey was the most clement every now and then. Well, they got it, in Tim's new show. But a dull moment and fifty pistol shots. Not a dull moment, but a very clement title Mr. Owsey's new show, and what interested me so much was to see how cleverly Mr. Owsey could act as a director. It can be honestly said Mr. Owsey has some clever ideas, and he knows how to bring them out. The cast, including the most clement played them, Jack Wigglus as Chief Strongheart looked the part of a real Indian, and his spoke his lines as one would have supposed a real Indian would have. Sidney Colman, as Arrowhead, did not in the�terstole, and his plan was a dian buck. Lena, Wiggins, as Wildflower, made a good Indian squaw. Carry Hall as Red Wing the half-breed squaw was good, as she always is. R. V. Cross, the son of boy), is an upland water the digger, did credit to his part, notwithstanding he is generally known as a comedian. Annie S. Clare, as Mabel Hete, whom Chief Strongheat condemns the "be turned" the line, as a red her part, Zenobia Jefferson, as Songbird, was clever. Willie Too Sweet as Jake Moth took the comedy role and got as many laughs as could be gotten. Tim Owsley, as Dick Overton, the vil- theνιωστικὸν τοῦν τοῦν καὶ ἐπὶν, and the vip- ored actor to do. The climax of this act was so exciting when the Indians were burning Annie St. Clare at the stake, that the audience yelled out, "Save her all, I'll have to be the curtain call, I'll have to be the curtain call." The vaudeville entertainment opened with Wiggins and Wiggins. This act ended as last week with a scream. Jack Ginger, as he is called, is some of the most famous shows. Too Sweet Trio kept the audience in an uproar every moment they were in front of them. Annie St. Clair, the Maiden in Red, closed the bill. The audience was with her from start to Manager Frank Crowd, as well as F. D. Joel, told me that Tim Owlsley's shows were all box office winners, and I believe it, because every night I see the Globe Theatre Company will do well to keep a man like Tim Owlsley as long as they can, as well as a supporting stock company such as they have. AT FOREPAUGH AND SELLS BROTHERS CIRCUS Rawles Annex Band and Minstrel a Big Hit. Labor Day I journeyed out to the show grounds of this city to see what I could of the Adam Forepaugh & Sells Brothers Circus, and to my expectation I saw the best that eyes could ever look upon when to real, sure for certain shows of this life. I noticed that a very large crowd was swarming to "the good old side show," the show that always suits everybody's taste, and certainly the pocket books. I was surprised by the chapel choir by H. L. Rawle's Annex Band and Minstrel. So charmed with I that I don't think I ever paid the least bit of attention to anything else in the show during W. I had to say that what was nothing else as attractive as this great band and minstrel of Mr. Rawle's in the side show, but rather to express my feelings as being satisfied with one of the best shows of the circus this season. In Rawle's Minstrel I saw a clever performance put on by real actors and musicians. And they got applause because "we were all in the band, everybody here thought them the best in the whole show, and oh, how true! The roster is: Thomas May and J. L. Davis, soio coralion; Mary May and J. L. Davis, soio coralion; Jackson and W. Howard, first and second clarionets; B. W. Lee, first alto; Alex Parker, second alto, and S. F. Ford, third alto; A. Valentine, from brom. H. L. Rawles, Smith band; H. L. Rawles, baritone; Edward Wood, e-flat bass; J. L. Holmes, snare drum, and Logan Kitchen, bass drum. There is no use to say a word, for Logan Kitchen is surely becoming a genuine good comedian, as we always thought, and he will certainly be in demand next season. Did you notice how to ladies made over him? He's a winner. R. J. Jackson, first clarionet, shows marked ability on the reed, and he is getting the music out of his instrument that few men of color can do anything with. Maybe his wife and hundreds of friends weren't glad to see him back home. Sam Jenkins knows what a cornet needs. Prof. H. L. Rawles is not only a musician that you can't find laying around every day, but a business manager of the first rank. He certainly has an excellent band, who play out of the ordinary. He, himself, gets so much more out of his instrument than the average player. We thank him for his appreciation of The Freeman and wish him added success. Why Holmes can beat his way anywhere. Luck to you, old may. What's the matter with Valentine? May was some time because a certain hun "Big Boy," don't dance too much, for they say you're cute. C. D. M. CLARK, HICKS AND CLARK HAVE A STAR ACT Should Make Good Anywhere They May Go. At the Crown Garden, 521 Indiana avenue in this city, last week was seen one of the best acts in high-class vaudeville that has been our lot to see in years. The art was filled as "Clark, Hild, and the old states," he says. The most original sketch with Lamona and her snakes," a trio of performers, instead of four as one would imagine had they not seen the act but no one, two, three, and four people could be found in any place, or who's a think could say it over the Clark brothers and Miss Hicks. What made us take our hats off was the genuine novelty of the act. Just think of two of the most insignificable works of the age along the line of Ben Hunn, Sam Lucas, Billy Kersands, Tom McIntosh and others of the like being able to cross their feet, use the tamboine and bones as well as they did back in the world. It is a kind of a point yet that is, indeed, important for the is much to say. Joe and Jean Clark are known the world over as real performers and have been known for the last forty years of life with the best works that have been having. The old days they were known to be splendid performers, but what strikes most forebilly is their ability to maintain their standard in these days when things materialistic are the same. While the performance being able to do buck and wing at 65 in a very nimble sort of a way. That is what Joe Clark can do. Fact is, they are both very spry and really do a great deal. The man is the best one, but it is a little more of a good one. The information is the old man and old woman is great and is surely out of the ordinary. They have some lines of the same original. They are really and honestly the most. Their makeup cannot be excelled in any particular. But what comes next is a rare treat. We have seen our women do a lot of wonderful and marvelous as well as daring things, but we have no time to do so. We have one Negro woman handle a real, live snake fifteen feet long in her hands. However, Miss Hicks or Lomanna dances with and among two of the largest boa constrictors in captivity as we suppose. She is a great spectator and a great sense for these great vipers follow her over the stage like children. She even wraps them around her neck and waist without the tie. They look like they kiss and move about shows us that they certainly live. This act drew great crowds while here and caused much comment to appear in the newspaper. But to refer to Clark, Hicks and Clark we will say they should be a great card of a large order anywhere they appear be seeing at all times. BERT WILLIAMS IN CHICAGO. The Big Hit With the Follies of 1910. Ashton Stevens, theatrical critic on the Chicago Examiner, heralds Bert Williams as the "Mark Twain of his color; with one smile he makes you forget the past." In Tuesday's Examiner, Mr. Stevens, on the "Folles of 1310," says of Bert Williams: "This time Mr. Williams had the stage to play songs. He was the needed desert in this wild garden of stockings and other laundry. He was the needed artist in this great assemblage of good-looking no-nonsense New Yorker songs, to butlist, wide-eved, to the vamp THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. for his opening character song, and all the tinsel and the clocklings and the oglings and the digestion dances were clean forgot, with an accent on the clean. Here was a human being, whose veins ran blood, rather than champagne or beer; whose black countenance was—I say it modestly—as unbeautiful as Linnaeus. His simple art was the form of the entire production. With a single smile he made you forget how many, many thousands of dollars had been expended on the 'show. “Bert Williams—again I say it modestly—is the Mark Twain of his color. His humor knows no limit, save that it invariably stops for a long time from the function of the innocent. His success cleanliness ought to be a modal for the rest of the revue—doesn't it seem that way? But honest managers will tell you that without 'suggestiveness' a Ziegfeld revue is a failure. “I heard an honest theatrical man say that at the Colonial last night, and I believe him, for this very ‘Follies’ had been tried without it, a abominable abdominal dances and had failed to impress New York until they were put it.” "But even so, Bert Williams does point a moral that is not without its profit. He writes that he is glittering fizzle. It is his ebony muff that wins over all, even when that all is a typical 'Follies' audience—loom vagrants rich and hungry for the flesh-pots, barbecues, gourmet dinners, and virtuous dames squinting through phantom fans, bored husbands and rampant husbands, paper-pated youths with cigarette leers, and perhaps the honest town with his whiskers and automobile. "All of these belong to Williams when he took up his songs and shocked the atmosphere the war of human-kind. The remotest men tendlerou marked his word or action. There was none of the 'flick nigger' telegraphing to his aunt-baby. There was none of the man-fa-faced human kindly humor, human kind made humans of us all. "It was kindly humor even when Williams sang that 'he'd lend you anything he'd give you life—and he'll make you a present of her." "Constanty" was another of those 'Nobody' classics, creaming with dismal fun, a minor epic of hard work that was at his deadliest. His funeral joy in that song laid us out, and we forgot that we were dead only when we waked to applaud for more. He was a man of humility in ditty of fabulous humor—at least so Bert Williams made it sound and look. He has remarkable taste in songs, even in those that are not written by himself. They nearly always contain the three vital qualities for Williams peculiar stage personality: Humor, mournful tunefulness and utter resignation. His resignation is to be compared only with Mr. Heath's (of McIntyre &) heart-rending hunger." THE TENT THEATRE REMOVED TO 16TH AND YANDES STS The Tent Theater, at 14th and West streets, under the management of E. D. Lee, has removed to 16th and Yandes streets, where the nightly performances will be held. The company gives the people their moneys worth of good show. He promises the same at the new stand, where he expects to see many of his west side patrons. The excellent company sen for the past week will co-work with Mr. Lee. They are versatile as a bunch as ever got together. They answer in the finest kind of way for a stock company, doing a variety of work, and often enough to appear always fresh and new. Wednesday night finished the show at 14th and West streets. The attendance was great; crowds jammed the amies; the yells almost deafening at the players, and the happiest moment of the day. Arthur Woolgie, "Original Rags," is the man of the hour in stagedom. Perfectly at home at any phase of the business, measuring up with the best in his monologue and extemporaneous Gig. It is another all-round actor, a character man of exceptional ability. C. D. Winfrey, the young comedian, is a downright good one. He is naturally funny, rather refined in his way, as has the greatest interest among them. Anita Wilkins still entertains and en- courages her students. "She is a little aunt, going to make a good, first-class actress some of these days. Minnie also does some nice turns and is good to serve." FORTHCOMING MAGAZINE ARTICLES CLEARING T. WARNING!

All the fans' who saw the Langford-Janette bout—and every fan who could be talking about Langford to-day, holding post-mortems on the fastest heavy-weight contest ever seen in Boston, and not figure the chances that Langford would have in a battle with Jack Johnson. Hugh McIntosh, the international boxing champion, the only one I have heard of who fails to see how great a boxer Langford really is. McIntosh says that Sam would be a beat Langford in a finish contest, and that Tommy Burns would beat either of them. I don't know much about Burns' ability to beat Langford, but was suffering with myopia when he says that Jeanette would beat Langford to a finish. Tuesday night it looked as if the farther Jeanette went the less chance he --- As to Sam's chances against Johnson, we may all go a little easy. As great a boxer as Langford is, there is no discount; the greatest heavyweight boxer is ring known, and his tremendous advantages of weight, height and reach are not to be discounted, as he had Ketchel but defeat Langford, that he had Ketchel but defeat Langford that Langford would give Johnson a harder battle than any man now in the ring. Charley White is an excellent referee, and handled Jeanne and Langford splendidly, but the Armory Club didn't do its own game any good by giving in to the demand of Jeanne's manager that White this bout, said McKettrick, "and I want an even break on the referee." That was an insinulation that he wouldn't get an break from Mae Kettrick; the Sheehan team in to the armory the Armory Club allowed McKettrick to get away with a "knock" at Boston referees, who are just as fair and just as competetive for every out-of-town boxer who appears here to dictate on the referee question. The club should stand behind its referee, or also have no regular referee at all but select their own official—Bill Bailey. LANGFORD IN THE LIMELIGHT. According to fight experts, Sam Langford is now entitled to an engagement on Jack Johnson's card for a go. Joy ought to prevail generally—that is, if Mr. Jack thinks the Langford-Jeanette bout was a crucible sufficient for the making of Mr. Sam. You know, Johnson has not had very broad views on Langford's ability, telling him to go to and prove himself. Langford's manager got busy, tried his best, as far as the public knows, to pull off a scrap with Kaufman, but which did not pan out very well. The pugillistically inclined were put out at the fizzle, thinking that if it were not Kaufman, then who? --- As far as known at this time, the "who" has been found. Joe Jeanette, who has a title of respectability in the big class, was thought on, and accordingly a mill was arranged, to wield power. Expert right opinion has it that Langford is now eligible to a trial with the master of masters. But there are at least two to every contract. What has been said about the arms with him? Jack is no dummy, he knows that Sam and crew are after pulling up by him. Reputation and money—the greatest forces in the world—are at his disposal in the event Sam and his crowd make Jack see like they do. What will Jack say? --- If Johnson consents that Langford is fit, it will be some time before he will be able to play. He will meanwhile Langford, it is said, will have to wait and sup off of the hopes of a fight not under a year, since he, too, has outclassed him in the game of "Jaylock." He might fight Tommy Burns and Al Kaufman. Neither of these, it is thought, care to take Langford on. He will be able to play the money matters, since his stock has gone up, and there are many folks who will be pleased to meet the man that will meet Johnson. In the meantime he plays the play, the sport was content merely with shaking the hand that Sullivan shook. And you know Sullivan didn't like a man in the days fin de siècle, days of "lowermort" of records,航业, etc. The pugilist, when successful, is simply a bank account. Money, money everywhere, as for him. He can't get so effete, so obsolete, but that he can do something. The stage is always ready to receive the celebrity; he may teach the many art, and he may teach the many to bed unless he insists on it. No other class of men is so favored. John Sullivan and his class reporting a fight are the mons, Choynski and others of the bunch of notable "has beens," and something is still doing in your favor. So one will think Langston, who is able to keep health until he meets his life's dream—one Li'r Al J. Johnson. LANGFORD IS MAN TO MEET JACK NEW YORK—"It was the best fight I ever referred," said Charley White, as he arrived here from Boston, where he presided over a dozen rounds Tuesday night. "I gave the decision to Langford because he outfought, outpunched and outpointed Jeanette, but the latter put up the greatest outsmoke when the fifteenth round came to an end. In a finish fight I'd find it hard to predict the winner. Jeanette is nearly a head taller and weighed at least thirty pounds, but the latter curried the fight to him all the way. "It was Jeanette's superb physical condition and defense that enabled him to stand up under the heaviest kind of hitter, and that allowed about science. His punches were perilous THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER and would have stopped an ordinary pupil, but Jeanette's wonderful recuperative powers saved him from a knockout. Langen had him on the verge of one several times, but he was able to handle and advised and knew how to stay. "In my opinion, Langford is the man to fight Johnson. They would put up a sensational battle, omme so than the recent utterance, but is a temperate, and knows how to read from almost any angle, so that I believe even Johnson might find it difficult to avoid his heavy artillery. You can quote me as a champion. Jeanette bout was the best heavyweight combat between Negroes ever held anywhere." Jeanette's manager also arrived here yesterday, and said that while he had no fear of the referee's decision, he wasn't satisfied that Langford could win in a fight to a finish. SAM LANGFORD WINS. Bests Joe Jeanette—Entitled to Meet Jack Johnson. Sam Langford, of Boston, earned the right to recognition from Jack Johnson, who is the heavyweight champion, when he gained the title. He rival, Joe Jaehnette, of Hoboken, N. J., in fifteen rounds, Thursday night, at the N.C. State Championship. The length of the contest was a new feature at the club, and the present of Charlie White, of New York, as the third man in the ring, was another unlocked-forward. The distance went a long way towards settling the long-standing question of suing Langford, by his forceful work and dureless methods, had a clear lead at the end. Referee White's decision, as well as his willingness to bring the men gave perfect satisfaction. New York was proved onward during or after the encounter. He handled the men in the clinches in a faultless manner, and his clever work had much to do with the strenuous battle that the "runners-up" for the heavyweight title have a walk-over in the bout with Joe were disappointed. Although Sam had a big lead at the finish, there was no stage for him, and that Jaehnette was not a dangerous opponent. Those who expected that Langford would "blow up" after the six rounds were wrong. He was in the same same pace throughout, and it cannot be said that he slowed up at any stage. He went about his work in the final round as well, and aggressiveness as he did in the first round. No Evidence of Fatigue. While he outscored Jeanette and punished him severely at times during the engagement, there was no evidence of tiring or weariness on the part of the New Yorker. A few left shots to the jaw temporarily checked him when he became industrious, but stopped many a vicious rush on lungpower and jarring left-hand habs. Sam's shifts were invariably knocked askew by Joe dividing his intentions and shooting his left hand. There was little variation throughout. Both had their minds made up to get to close quarters and work there. Each round would find both dashing to the center and extended and Sam crouched and ready to hook with either hand. Jeanette was first to land on most of these occasions, but the second round was the position of his arm, and when they fell on Langford, they did so only lightly. It was when Sam rushed to close quarters, then series of exchanges, which he felt the impact of Joe's gloved fists. Boxers in Superb Shape. Langford's assortment of blows were the kidney variety with the right hand, the left hand, and the right was sent to the heart or stomach in short, straight arm jolts. Both boxers were in perfect condition. Neither were as fast as bantams on account of the excellence of their physical condition. When the bout ended they were still gassing. The opponent was a tenette had decidedly the worst end of the encounter in the closing sessions. The boxer was possessive; there were no periods of hostile demonstration at any stage of the bout, and in view of the importance of the event, he best managed affairs even before at the club. Every seat had an occupant, and standing room was at a premium. Some of the boxers touched arms with State and city officials at or near the ringside. In fact, it is a long time since such a representative gesture had a contest between big fights. Big Tom Overby Here. Big Tom Overby, of Allentown, Pa., was introduced; so were Jack Twin Sullivan, of Cambridge, and Tommy Quill, who meets Young Loudrey against next week. Three preliminaries were staged prior to the main event. J. Atwater and Jim Stanton, two colored aids, fought six in a tie. The final round that Atwater should have been given the award, and loudly voiced their disapproval of the verdict. Frankie Barrett, of Cambridge, and Tom Kelly, of this city, startled the crowd with a few twists and misses they settled down to business and fought six live rounds. Barrett getting the award. Johnny Hayes defeated Young McAuliffe in one round. Young McAuliffe defeated the preliminaries—S. J. Mahoney. The bout in detail by rounds: the bout in detail by rounds. Row 10.

Her illness of age was so severe that her family and friends for the worst. She had, however, rallied from one of her severe attacks and was supposed to be getting along nicely when the grim invader entered and claimed her Mrs. Knox came to Indiana from North Carolina in 1848, but when six years old, age 14, she moved to state. She was united in marriage with George L. Knox in Indianapolis in 1866; lived in Greene County, where children were born unto them. Leaving Greenfield in 1884 the family has lived continuously in Indianapolis, where Mr. Knox has considerable business. For years Knox was connected with the management of the Alpha House, serving in the capacity of treasurer of the kind, spoke of his work with his well known charitable institution having for its object the care of aged colored women, and other movements of the kind, spoke of his kindly, genial nature, made her a most lovable woman. Relatives, friends and acquaintances speak of her excellence as a woman, wife and husband. Mrs. Knox was a Christian woman, having long since been a member of the Second Baptist Church, Moses Day, the day of the Christian practice as well as in theory, and in her goings in and out, "let her light shine." She leaves by way of immediate relatives to mount Mount Hebron and her husband, one child, a son, Elwood C. Knox, manager of THE FREEMAN, and a sister, Alice Harvey, of Chicago, Ill. She leaves other kindred and friends of friends too soon to place at residence Thursday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Drs. Prinz, Smythe and Tate. The Sisters of Charity, an organization of which she was a member, took part in the ceremonies. Interment at Crown Hill Cemetery. THE PASSING OF W. T. GOODALL. A Well-Known Young Man of Tihs City Passes Away. Such deep sorrow, after such glad meriment! O prince of hearts of patience, love and cheer. cheer, Could you speak to us yet, I doubt not Should catch your voice, still blithely eloquent, Above all murmurings of sorrow here, Calling your love back to us laughingly, For you sleep well! William Thompkins Goodall passed away at the home of his parents, 428 North Amherst street, New York, after a short illness of nearly a year. Mr. Goodall was 34 years of age and was born in Gallatin, Tenn., coming here when he was about 4 years old, and then for the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Mimus Goodall, and was a member of Simpson Chapel, who survive him are; a mother and father, a wife, Mr.s Grace Goodall; two sisters, Ella and Emma; two brothers, John and Abel, and a little niece, Thelma. Wednesday night the remains of the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Pereterm, after hundreds of friends had viewed the body day and night since the end. During the afternoon Rev. Tate, of Simpson Chapel, held a short ceremony and "Billy" Goodall, as the deceased was familiously called by nearly everybody about town, was a very striking character, and he was very kind, best known for was his love and devotion to his relatives and many friends. He never went back on them. He could not afford to be alone, and circumstance. When they wanted advice, aid or help in any way they always hunted up "Billy," and they got it, for he was ever for them. He was most generous and kind, and required deep concern. He loved music in the highest sense, which is a safe guarantee of a loveable disposition. For years I had heard him sing among the churches of God's work. What had not heard the Goodall Trio in the days gone by, which consisted of his sister, Emma, and brother, John, and himself, was truly musical. Now as look back I can see in my mind's eye a man that always carried a heart within him that was Godly from his birth, all the time. He was little allurements that come alike into one's life. He was not without his faults, as he had said, but he was always kind, and he could solve anyone, unless it be himself. He lead in everything that he set his head to, be it for good or for bad. He was no half-way. Whatever may be said of him, he was always with the true faith of a Christian in the Lord Jesus Christ, and now sieces well. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
