Jones, editor of the Strand Magazine. Stage News. The Houston Theater, in this city, is conceded to be the best built, the most commodious and best arranged colored play house in the country.

The theater is a place of the shame and degradation of being boxed up in Jim Crow seats in the white theaters.

Since what is true of one Face, is true of another. It te dua, te the ‘conditions of the — country wher brought here a slave; and to the elviliz, ation that now confronts him. ‘When the Negro was brought to this country as a slave, unlike the whit man who found no civilization’ existing he found that civilization through het civilizing forces had instituted a com: mercial, agricultural, industrial and co: operative system in’ America and this system was far beyond the Negroes comprehension, therefore it’ became 1 problem, or rather a question, as. to Whether or not the Negro would’ ever be able to master or use these systems t hig advantage. ‘The Negro is now a problem that awaits a solution, In solving _har¢ mathematical, problems there*are man} different factors or methods to be ap- plied before the final solution can_ be kiven, “nl giving this solution ‘some. times you are applying the method of addition, sometimes the method of sub: traction? of multiplication and” some: times the method of division. All o1 these methods must play a distinct part in-the final solution of the problem. ‘The same was true in solving the railroad problem. First a trial by the State legislature, then by the United States court of appeals, and finally. the method of the ‘supreme court of the United States before a final solution of the question was given. So it is with, the saiution of the Negro problem. ‘There are many meth- ods to be applied before a final solutior of the problem will be made. ‘The methods that are concerned in thé solution_of this problem are, war, the United States constitution, Christianity education and the part of the Negrc must play for himself. War with her compelling force has broken the bounds asunder. The U, 8 constitution fas played her part "by granting the Negro the privilege of en: Joving equal rights ax a freeman anc a citizen regardless of color or previous condition of servitude. Christianity anc education have played and are playing their part in teaching the Negro that he has a God to serve and a mind to be developed ere he takes his place amon the great races of the earth. Now Is the Negroes’ time to play his part, He must play. his part ‘Uhrouxh Feligion, education, co-operative move: ments, industry, commerce, banking in: stitutions, manufacturing establish- yuents, race pride and’ race patronage ‘These, my friends, and these only, will constitute the Negroes part in the s0- lution of this. problem. How are these results to be obtained? If the Negro preachers would do theit whole duty, they would preach the doc. trine of peace and good will toward all men, a doctrine that would strengthen and’ maintain’ a friendly relation. he- tween the white and blaek races of the South. They would preach the doctrine of race pride and race patronage among the race and try to instill in the minds of the layety these principles that mean so much to us as a race. If the Negro teachers would teach such doctrines in the class rooms and on thelr play grounds, and if the Ne- gro parents would impress and. instill Such doctrines in the minds of thelr children as they play about, Mother's Knee, less prejudice would exist in the South and & more peaceful and friendly relation would. be maintained between the white and black vaces of the South and ‘ere long hatred because of color would vanish and this old Southland would become the home of peace, the xarden of paradise and a fit habitation for the kingdom of God. If such doctrines were preached and taught by our Negro preachers, teach- ers and parents, there would be need Of more banking instiutions, more farms Operated, more manufacturing establish- ments, more. business. collezes and co- Operative movements owned and con- trolled by Negroes. If we had more banking Institutions we would have control over a much larger amount, of money to invest and derive profits that would go to enrich the race and give more of our boys and girls banking po- sitions which Would demand for them respect from the other races. Tf We had more farms we could em ploy hundreds, yea thousands, of our Strong and vizorous young meh and women Who are loafing the streets of our towns and citles trying to find em- ployment and find none, Tf we had more manufacturing estab- lishments we could train more. young men to become manufacturers and would derive much Wealth from the sale of the manufactured products which would tend to strengthen the race financially. If we had more business college swe could train more young men and women to be prepared for business when they get out in the world. If we had more co-operative move- ments owned and controlled by Nesroes it would mean that we are @ united race for mutual ood, Some writer has said that “In union ‘there is strength” and in strength there are forces to keep baeq evils and compel things to move. Tt is to unity that 1 contribute the sue- cess of the other races and it Is to unity that we must look for success, God grant. that the day may come when my people will realize more fully the ‘saving and ‘resisting power that there is In unity.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT IS SPREADING Standing Up for Men in Tennessee The Colored Voters Are Getting Wise. The following resolutions were adopted recently by the Independent Colored Republican Party of Tennessee, headquartered Nashville: We, the representatives of the Colored Independent Republicans of Tennessee, in committee assembled, deem it just and proper to exist condemning affliction and oppression. We represent Democratic parties in the state of Tennessee, to declare our independence and support and vote for men and measures which we conceive to be necessary for the exercise of regardless of political party affiliation. We do not seek by this movement political preferment of office, nor social equality, and lawful right to demand equality before the law, protection of life, property, and the pursuit of happiness, as guarantor of the rights of all States. We unequivocably condemn the action of leaders of the Republican party of Tennessee for their treatment of the World Republican voters, and the White House, and loyal and long suffering colored voter from the party in order, as they hope, to win disgruntled Democrats, the Republican anks, and the Tennessee Republican state. Such nefarious schemes, ingratitude and injustice are unworthy of the fundamentals of the party of Abraham Lincoln Love Joy, Garrison, Wilson and Summer. We believe the time has come to repudiate certain carpet baggers and booled leaders of the Republican party by acclimatizing them to the Democratic Democrats for the Negro, to do this would be illogical, and neither would it be desirable for either the Negro or the Democratic Party to just of the so-called Negro problem at the South, by the Southern white man and the Southern Negro, the Negro is not the South's Poor Party, will between the races should be encouraged. While we are citizens and tax-payers of the state, we do not administer the state, nor do we believe that the administration of the same should be economical, humane and enlightening. We favor the building of state reformations for youthful criminals without further delay before enforcement. Resolved, That we call upon all Independent Republicans to give support to the legislative tickets in the respective states that are in harmow with this money. It is simply the thing of using the suffrage which respect we are not different to others, who use the suffrage for ends which means generally the promotion of citizen- DINES WITH THE KING. Booker T. Washington in Denmark- Significant Comment on the Event. Special to THE FERMAN Denmark proper has no color question and hence the fact that the King and Dr. Booker T. Washington, the noted Negro educator, dined at the palace with the royal family did not cause the comment that Washington did not by Dr. Washington by former President Roosevelt did in America. Nevertheless there are some who are acquainted with conditions in the Danish West Indies who are quietly suggesting that the King's indies are colonies, where there is the same color question which exists wherever the white and colored races are brought into contact. The color question is not so acute perhaps in the Danish West Indies as it often points, but it is there, nevertheless. JACKSONVILLE. ILL.

Mr. Bryan's speech was a beauty. The well-known orator was in excellent voice and in felicitous mood. Senator Beveridge is working hard to maintain his own. He is working everything he knows, including "Mary in the Vine Clad Cottage." We don't fail to give it to President Taft. He's working overtime. Don't be disturbed, however, about national affairs. We live right here, not in Washington. Everything else being equal vote for those who are your known friends. It used to be considered a political virtue to work every day in the year for a man, take his money, then on election day declare to support some other man one knew nothing about. Talking about the possibility of disfranchising the Negro in this state. Nothing impossible, but a most excellent way to head off such a thing is to make terms with men who might do it. Disarm your enemy with love; it's better than force-lasts longer. Good men on the Republican ticket, good men on the Democratic ticket, Select them and vote for them. Bear in mind that the race question is not a party question. Make friends of members of either party. These will think a long time before voting against your interest. Don't be hobbled as it concerns your voting. Clothing and food are to be taken into considerationoto ETAOIN taken into account. Parties don't furnish these, individuals do. We don't ask after a man's politics when seeking work; we ask for a job. One man is as likely to give it to you as another. All must concede that President Taft is doing well by the Negroes by way of appointment to office. The selection of Napier and Pinchback for important offices has met with general approval. Now comes the information that W. H. Lewis, present Assistant District Attorney at Boston, is to be made an Assistant Attorney-General of the United States. This office will be the highest ever tendered a colored man by a President of the United States. Mr. Lewis has made can acceptable official in his state. His scholastic ability and experience in his line of duty assures him fit for the high post that will be assigned him. The Free man congratulates Mr. Lewis on his selection, feeling that it is but one of the many that rejoices in knowing that such distinguished consideration has been paid one of the race. THE A. B. C. OF IT. Not many more days before the voters will have a chance to tell who they want to fill the offices, the public offices of county and state. We have said time and time again that the colored man should get into all of the parties as a thing of intelligent political conduct. These various parties stand for various ideas, men take to various ideas just as they select their clothes and food and where they show that their tastes and notions are not one. If 7,000 colored men always saw just alike on all questions it is not likely that they would long remain as acceptable citizens. The influences that change white men should not fall when they come to colored men. We've also said that the race is facing a new condition the future of which it knows nothing, but it is its business to help shape the future to their best interest. We may not longer rely on parties for protecting the colored people in their rights, but men regardless of parties are to be won, and held, so when the serious times come there will be those of all parties who will stand up for the colored man. Men will not be found so ready to stand up for the colored people if these same men are fought to a standstill always by the colored voters. And in voting for the one party, the Republican party, the colored man has found that his presence in such numbers has hurt that party, if one is to believe by recent utterances. Vote for those who vote for you. They vote for you when they decide to employ you. Democrats do this, as the Republicans do. JACK JOHNSON BEATEN BY BAR: NEY OLDFIELD. Jack Johnson just had to keep on monkeying until he got what he wasn't looking for. Now he has been beaten in his automobile race by the well-known Barney Oldfield, whose class he had no right to expect that he was in. He took on over the fact that Sam Langford wasn't in his class as a prize- fighter; yet he must go out and engage the best in a business of which he knew nothing, actually hounding the man until he had to turn on his heels and deliver him one. The Freeman tried to argue with Mr. Jack, fairly prayed to him, virtually saying, please don't make a fool of yourself, O, please don't Mr. Jack. You don't know a thing about this new game. And in the language of that delightful Homer, "Let others in the field their arms employ, but stay my Hector, here and guard this Troy." But Troy be — well be hanged. "Tse got more'n one talent and I se not go'n" to put 'em undah no bushel either, and he didn't. But perhaps it would have been better, this particular one at any rate. Oldfield played with Johnson, just as a cat plays with a mouse, and at the proper moment simply consumed him. It is to be hoped he is cured of his strange fever and for all time. He ought to have known that he stood no show whatever. The automobile, as to construction, is a thing of science. Experience and experiment have succeeded in fixing the finest theories and principles and which are not yet given out ad lib. To a novice like Johnson an experienced man with one of his own contrived machines can beat him just as regular as the clock ticks if he cares to. And to think Johnson sought to beat Oldfield at his own game. Well, Barney put him out and nobody is sorry. We are all chagrinned, however, of course, to think Johnson insisted on this display. We hope he is cured, and that he stays cured. W. J. BRYAN IN INDIANAPOLIS. The coming of Mr. Bryan last week was the signal for the gathering of the clans. Mr. Bryan spoke from the platform erected for Mr. Roosevelt. The scene was fairly enacted over again. The crowd in kind with its thousands reaching high up the steps of our greatest of monuments. The enthusiasm if anything was greater, because Mr. Bryan is a more acceptable type of a speaker. In fact very few men in the world are in his class. Not so fine and finished as Mr. Parker, not so tedious as Mr. Roosevelt, not so irksome as Senator Beveridge, when not on his high horse. Mr. Bryan proved the greatest attraction of the season. One is reminded of the great speakers of the past when oratory was a more prized possession than it is today when he speaks, appearing as the final court for the adjudication of earthly affairs. Earnest, sincerity together with the most skilled manipulation of words and sentences and logic for the moment settle all questions beyond doubt. Mr. Bryan had everything in his favor. Mr. Roosevelt had just preceded him a few days before, his "ancient enemy." He insisted that Mr. Roosevelt had stolen his thunder, and made it plain that as a thing of principle that he was more interested in the institution of principles he had set forth from time to time than he was in setting them in motion himself. Here was the beautiful theory of abnegation that was noted all through his speech in effect making it ring true. According to the audience, Mr. Bryan made short work of Mr. Roosevelt's pretensions as the chief political scavenger of the day. He insisted that nothing new in the way of great reforms had been advanced by the former president but what had long since been advocated by the Democratic party. All along, Mr. Bryan illustrated his propositions with humorous sayings that were happy in their effects. Mr. Bryan helped the Democracy of Indiana. VOTE RIGHT. The colored voters of Marion county will please bear in mind that partisan politics does not help their cause very much. Not only in Marion county, but in the whole state, and throughout the Union where colored people live in considerable numbers the condition is about the same. In the past we've sought to trace all of the civil ills and political ills to one cause; that cause was the Democrat party as thought. And to be fair in the matter that party in the most part was responsible for the wrongs in the past. It is different today, when we find that the question of race has grown so greatly that it exceeds party lines. No party cares for the Negro vote as a whole, for with this condition comes that of responsibility, having in mind redress, relief and so forth, the objects of the ballot as with other men. According to the times redress and relief, the kind we expect and which is special, will not come through political organizations. Political organizations are made up of units, these are the individuals; as they think and act, these individuals, so will the whole think and act. The units may be more or less influenced by superior minds who help them to come to conclusions, but at no time is there much doubt about the notions of the individuals. It is plain that if the Negroes expect more and more consideration instead of less and less, that they must be busy, doing missionary work. This will not be confined to one class of men, since the protection by a class only proves a menace to the class but to the protected. The Republican party is today confronted with just such a condition. If it were to the good of the health of that party there would not be that exceedingly discriminating care in the selection of Negro office, and particularly as it pertains to certain sections. The Negro voters know the conditions, yet they haven't had the nerve to make a move that counted for very much. Some of the farsighted have looked beyond the present day, seeing the hopelessness and folly of clinging to a party with the expectation of that party doing battle for them in the time of need. They have seen that the salvation here, as in religion, is an individual thing. The friends of the race are to be made whenever and wherever it is possible to do so. Parties as such have become valueless as vehicles to carry Negroes into favor. Individuals must be won, regardless of party tags or labels, since we know so well that tags and labels cannot do the work. Really, it is up to the Negroes above any other race to cut loose from the ancient moorings. No other race in America finds itself the THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. object of party suspicion and distrust. This suspicion and distrust is entertained when the race as a whole, when the Negro voters as a whole, think their home is in a particular party. TAFT PICKS NEGRO FOR HIGH GOVERNMENT OFFICE Will Make W. H. Lewis Assistant Attorney-General. NOW ASSISTANT AT BOSTON. WASHINGTON—President Taft, it has been announced, has decided to appoint a colored man to the highest office in an executive branch of the government ever held by a member of that race. William H. Lewis, at present an assistant district attorney at Boston, is to be made an attorney-general of the United States. Lewis is a graduate of Amherst and Harvard and was a crack athlete when he was in college. He is regarded as a leader among members of his race in the New England states. The President will also appoint Charles A. Cotterell, of Toledo, collector of customs in Hawaii. Cotterell has been more or less prominent in politics in Mr. Taft's state for some time. The appointment of Lewis has been agreed upon by the President and Attorney-General Wickersham. Just what duties will be assigned to the new assistant when he takes office has not been decided. The appointment is in line with President Taft's policy of recognizing Negroes in the government service, but taking these appointments as far as possible out of the southern states, where friction has been caused in the past by Negro federal officeholders. Lewis served one year in the lower branch of the Massachusetts legislature. Lewis was appointed an assistant United States district attorney in 1903, and has been connected with that office ever since. IN MEMORIAM. LATE JNO, W. STRAUTHER, K. P. Owing to the death of Sir Jno.

BOB MARSHALL. ATHLETE. Big Bob Marshall, the famous colored athlete, ran down from Minneapolis last Saturday to Indianapolis, as a scout for the University of Minnesota to witness the football game between the teams of Indiana and Wisconsin. Marshall was favorably impressed with the work of the Indiana team, which won over the Wisconsin team by a score of 12 to 3. He thinks the Wisconsin team a very worthy rival. Marshall has won quite a distinction, both in baseball and football. He is now assistant coach for the University of Minnesota, in which institution he gained seven M's reward for four years' baseball and football. He is of the well-known Gophers baseball team of Minneapolis, one of the foremost teams in the country. In his summary of the Indiana football team he said Indiana is fast and shifty with a splendid defense. The men know football and are in good condition.

October 23, ‘The three thea- ters, the Fairyland, the Orpheum and the Princess, had musical acts where the xylophone ‘was used. It occurred to Manager Callahan, of the Fairyland, that Xylophone contest would be a good thing. It was agreed. ‘The managers xot toxether and raised fa purse of $50. Mr. Toomey's manager put up $80, the other two managers put tip the balance, Phe contest was. pulled of at the Fairyland after the regular show. Four judges were selected. Qach of the players played three numbers. |The judges selected the “Spring Song” to be played, by each.

Special to THE PReeman, CHICAGO, October 27.—"Consul the Great,” the ‘man monkey, held the bill at the Pekin this Week, and this human wonder was again the’ cause of all the seats being taken at the two perform- ances on Monday night, Consul has heen at the Pekin before, and he aroused the curiosity of a large’ number of col- ored people. Many Were there who saw him before and others who missed the treat. ‘Consul did the usual stunts, and they are numerous, In many. instances he does everything a small boy could do, save talk, and he makes game attempts todo this. It is exceedingly amusing to children and "to a great many xrown- ups, how he skips and dances, rides bi- exeles, eats, smokes and has His attend- ant wait upon him the same as a person. Dressed in citizen's” elothes, Consul had an automobile ride on Monday, and he seemed to enjoy It to his hearts’ eon- tent. ‘The bill is one of the biggest in Vaudeville “and” Well” worth — seeing, Three other numbers were on the pro- gram, and the whole bill was a novelty. ‘The Grand, . Claybourne Jones, one of the young men on the “stroll” who is pushing him- Self forward and not giving the public the same old thing, was a hit at. the Grand on Monday ‘night. Jones, isa clever comedian and he, sang the “Teas- ing Rag.” “Jama Man” and "Hard to Find a King.” Jones is far above the average seen at the Monogram and Grand, and the large audience appreci- ated every line of his work; which goes to show that if the rest of the low com- edians would piten their “stuff” high and get out of the rut, they weuld take as well, Jones is a notable* exception to this case. ‘Mr, James Douglass, the baritone singer, was given a nice reception, and featured Dave Peyton's latest, ballad, “The Hose and the Violet” und “No One Town.” ‘The Hendersons were hold- overs. ‘They were bristling with fun in black-face, singing successfully, “ "Lone in’ Dixie,” “ "Stop “that Rag,” "Stop Scorching’ that Ham,” and “Are You On;" Hayden and Vaughn, two comedi- ans from Louisville, made their first ap- pearance on the ‘stroll. They _ sang “Good Luck, Mary,” “Stop, Stop,, Stop,” and “Glad to Be a Soldier Man." The Russells, opened the bill with “cotton Town,” “Girl;from U. 8. A." and “Lit- tle Kangaroo.” i nea aed Shelton Brooks, Chicago's favorite comedian, and one of the funniest young men in the business, was, ax usual, re- ceived with an avalanche of applause Brooks has a mortgage on applaust along the “stroll,” for wherever he ap: pears he gets the hand, He tells some very amusing stories, and it's the way he tells them that elicits the applause. He sings a parody of “Casey Jones,” and he does it so cleverly, that in. the end he Is forced to make a little speech "The Clarks, Who have come from the West and have “made good” in Chicago was another good team, singing “Iand, Band, Band ang “Stop, Stop, Stop.

Replying to a little comment in an article headed "What You Think," by E. Thunk, in issue of September 24. Mr. E. Thunk, who hever is, and I think I have wanted to say that I am very busy with my act, the Arantes, Billy and Grace, which I have been very busy with for nearly three years in Europe, over the largest tours on the Continent, and only sickness prevented me, on my return to America a few months ago, playing the time a colored act can play in America. Being of Southern birth, like many of our profession, I was desirous of showing my act to my native friends, and when I met them I looked forward to something different than trying to steal little acts and shows from the would-be Southern producers, who speak of a performer and are ashamed to sign their names to articles. The reason is that in Southern opinion, is the cleverest bunch playing Southern time, and the best producers playing the same time, who are Bob Russell and Marion Brooks, of the Russell-Owens-Brooks Stock Company. The combination that will soon begin preparations on a big act to be headed by Bob Russell, Billy Owens and the Arntes, with thirty people, Marion Brooks as manager. Then I would go on again, worry about Billy Arntes putting on your acts. The Russell-Owens-Brooks Stock Company joins me in deepest sympathy for our dear friend, James Grundy, who for our Russell especially wishes to extend bursary grants to Mrs. Grundy. All we wish him speedy recovery. NORFOLK, VA., SHOW TALK. Norfolk is all astir theatrically.

Any way Marion Brooks is well known and liked by the public, they all wish him success. Crampton and Taylor's Cuban-American Stock Co. with Walter L.

Tom seemed well ROSA LE While the race can boost of its great educators, professional and business men, prize fighters and comedians, it can also shape of its great singers. Madame Sissierer Jones (Dinki Patti) Saleka, the Hyer Sisters, and others are still fresh in the memory of those that appreciate artistic musical talent. They live in Chicago and is classed among the prominent singers is Madame Rosa Lee Tyler. Madam Tyler is a vocal actress and rather stale herself. In herself she possessed a natural sweet voice. This voice was trained and cultivated. She studied German, Spanish and Italian. This enabled her to go deep into the souls of the great music teachers to those that had contributed much to the musical world. She studied and practiced. She wanted to be a success. Madam Tyler first came to the stage eight years ago as a society singer. She also attracted the attention of such celebrities as William and Walker. She signed and took her place in the first soprano section of the Williams and Sissierer Jones show. Here her rise began as a singer. It was "nl Dehomy" that she made the hit of her life and caused people from all sections of the country to be captivated by her charm and melodious voice. It was a big company and there were others that nature had endowed with sweet voices, but it was Madam Tyler that held up the reputation of that show for grand singing and trained voices.

She later took up concert work in Chicago, and was finally induced by Mr. Robert T. Motts to take lead in the original Pekin Stock Company.

Evette Simpson, as a fabricating youth, was clever; in fact, Miss Simpson, as an impersonator of a male character, is real Miss, as was good as one could expect. Carrie May Hall, as a forward pupil, played her part as Carrie always does. Jim Owsley, as the Educator, did what Miss, as was good as one could expect you laugh.

To the Editor of THE FREEMAN: Seven years ago I put Indian after my name, and it has been a savior to me. Then, again, "I can't fight." Last week a big vaudeville agent told me of the present conditions, and told me to take a few things around the theater, even if I was not a fan. He told me to hit anybody. He also said that a record was kept in all the offices of acts. sign of "standing room only" was hung out. In the stock company were such well-known actors as the late J. Ed Green, Harrison Stewart, Miss Lottie Grady, Jerry Mills, Miss Sadie McCarver, Lawrence Chenault, Miss Pearl Brown, Chas.unning chorus of twenty excellent women. By this time her ability as a singer had reached the ears of vaudeville managers and they induced patrons to up that line of work with greater financial results. She joined hands with Miss Ethel James in a Spanish arc and they went "big" all over the country. Guss Hill, a successful manager of colored companies engaged her to take the leading role in the "Smart Set." success. When her contract expired, Shelton Brooks and six others grouped with Madam Tyler, she being the star, and this added popularity to her work in There is a demand for her services now as a single feature and she has played many of the leading vaudeville houses in nearly every city in the United States, including living in Boston about Madam Tyler. is her ability to please audiences of various nationalities. She sing selections from German composers delightfully and the next week can envelop them in a new idea to run the gamet of Spanish numbers; doing them all with expression, temperament and ability. Shortly she will present a new idea to Madam Tyler, Misty Hubbard, and the act is being looked forward to be one of the neatest and cleverest turns seen in vaudeville. Madam Tyler is a great believer in swell costume and is used will be attractive and stunning. While the patrons of theaters are singing her praises for her beautiful singing, her near and dear friends are growing up and her motion and coilent attention given her to who lives with the Madam at Fifty-second and Wabash avenue. Madam Tyler's voice is still sweet, rich and musical, and her well wishers have every moment in their lives having melodies for many years to come.

Ball--15th In the Field of Sport. AN ENGLISHMAN MAYBE. Will Meet Jack Johnson—Bombadier Wells One of the Hopes among those in the minds of the sporting traternity to contend with Champion Jack Johnson for his rare distinction is Champion Bomadier Wells. He was also weighted. Some Bomadier has been mentioned before. Immediately after he was held to be among the very few to be mentioned in the same breath with Bomadier. Not since it was Sharkey who said it out that he was yet good for a training and that he had been in a constant trunning thus losing the ability that cooling makes men like individuals so stale for the rehash. But this Bombardier Wells that the English have trotted out may be the stuff. The chances are, however, that he is in the midst of a new British are, and in keeping with the murky weather. He, however, of the formidable ones, stads well, with his sporting countrymen. And by the way, the English people know of some sport. Here he is, of En-ge land, but, as in most names, she has been distanced by her oldest offspring. So when Mr. Wells concludes to face our Mr. Johnson, he may well tremble, for one thing, that it is Mr. Johnson. Wells had the distinction of knocking out a henryyeight rival last week in round. He did the work in the tenth round. The fact has caused his stock to go up. The fact that it may he Johnson will be called on to defend himself at no distant day. . . .

An unkempt letter from New York said the writer would be able to furnish some important information about the murder. The letter stated that D. P. Dickerson, to whom the letter was addressed, would remember him. Dickerson believes Ketchel was the victim of a plot to murder him. Dickerson states that Ketchel had enmeshed in New York.

I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weak and manhood, failing memory and lame brought on by excesses, unnatural drama, and irritability. I have encured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any oral help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many powers, and quietly, and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of price in a plam, ordinary sealed en- velope to any man who will write me for it. this prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and can convinced it is the surst-acting local and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send me a copy in confidence, so that any anan anywhere who is weak and discomposed can bring himself with harmful patient medicines, secure what I believe is the surst-acting restorative, upbuilding, ST-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Dr. A. E. Robinson, 2831 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary doctrine free of charge. A great many doctors charge $3.00 to 5.00 for merely writing a motion like this—but I send it entirely free. Jack Dillon is ready and willing to meet either of them. Dillon can strike as hard a blow as can either Klaus or Jack, who is sciented and has the nerve. We have been given the task to get a match with Klaus; in fact, that is the object of our visit to Pittsburgh. Dillon is ready to post a forfeit to bind a match with either Klaus or Papke.

MAJORS, OF CHICAGO, WRITES ON WHAT JOHNSON OWES THE RACE. The subject of this short article, as an individual, is indeed worthy of serious thought by every Negro in the world. As a mere man, he is an incipient of the civilized world, and he is lightly as merely an accident. As a person or individual no Negro in the civilized world has ever before become so generally known for having done so, he is not to be weighed in the scale by the side of the work done by hundreds of able Negroes, when it is to be regarded as promoting the good of the world. The skills which help him to shine in the regard of serious minded persons. The mere knocking out of the "white man's hope" with his fist entitles him to the right to be a man who feed upon the grosser aspects of life. Athletics know no man by his color, and in this department of the sport he has reached the highest pinnacle, and shines as the king so far as punishment goes. The game of the fisticious arena has ever been attractive. It pays to be a strong man, able to give and take punishment, and to win titles. It pays better in the field of mugilism. From the racial standpoint, the victory of Johnson over Jeffries furnishes helps the Negro range the world that opportunity is its greatest need in any avenue of life. He has done for Jack Johnson is the same old story repeated over and over. George Dixon, Joe Gans, Major Taylor, Frank Hart, and the rest of them have all made good at opportunity and every day they applied to the Negro who has achieved distinction in what walk of life he strove. Jack Johnson, as the world's heavyweight king of pugilism, can then be regarded as an asset from purely the racial point of view. Now, then, Mr. Johnson is in a realm of respect and appreciation, having done some over the future progeny of the entire Negro race. Therefore, he should conduct himself just as if he possessed a real value to every Negro living. He should have learned that Mr. Johnson will read it and regard the responsibility he has assumed and discharge his obligation becoming the great position he holds to-day before Johnson cannot afford to do a great many things that ordinary people do. He cannot afford to do reckless things, he cannot afford to be a racist, he cannot race buses. Before a fighter he can defend himself, but on a race course he cannot. I have often heard that he is a great man, but he is a solicitudinus that is the case, and we take this opportunity to say that in every city where it is his pleasure to exhibit, the eyes of our children are always on him. He much credit on himself and his race should he cut off the saloons, clubs and other resorts where infamous pleasure holds by the throat the cheap Nero. He is a man of faith and dutiful son to a mother worthy of him. This doubtless gives him greater honor than possibly he could hope to enjoy with his achievement. The fist fight. The papers throughout America said, the day after the fight, "His mammy prayed for him to win against jeffries, doubtless a great great great and invulnerability Gatsby that helped him to 'bring home the bacon.'

M. A. MAJORS, M. D. Chicago, Ill. Manager and Owner of "A Rabbit Foot" Comedy Company, Writes His Views on the Present Theatrical Outlook for the Neuro. Mr. Editor, if space is available, you will kindly publish the following article, which hope will be of some help to the business and will therefore need a time from time to time a number of articles on the theatrical business, and in the most of these articles the advice of the writer will be given to the foundation, and in a very few cases has the writer spoken from practical experience, but just simply spoke in an office. Now, to begin with, a performer is not a manager, as there is as much difference between the two people as there is between the two actors, both of these mechanics work together upon a building, but there is a great difference between the two workmen, and the same thing applies to a performer One of the greatest mistakes in the theatrical business among the Negroes is that you don't have to know anything about the business, but that all a man has got to do is to have the money and go ahead and open his show and make money, as no knowledge of the business is necessary; that misunderstanding the business will be at the door of poverty than most any other legitimate business. I know over a score of good men who are now past the age of fifty years, who at one point had no money and had dollars in the banks and their homes paid for, and were well well and had normal credit in the towns and cities where they lived; but on account of being ill advised they had to be induced to enter into this business just because they had the money. So they started into the theatrical business and run for a few weeks or months, and then they went to a poorer but wiser man. I rather think that the theatrical press should give a little attention to this particular evil, just as much as they do to other enterprises which are of less dan- In my judgment, for a man to make a success in the theatrical business, he must have some knowledge of the business, or at least of the business of success in the theatrical business depending upon the advice of some would-be manager or some performer who tells him that he has been a performer for a while, even for a few years. He will advice and he will get the money. Some performer will always tell the green manager with the money. "Look at Pat Chapman," he says. "You have to fortune. You can do the same. All you have got to do is to open the business." The performer gets the theatrical papers, shows this green manager some article about the business of success, how they are turning them away, etc. which helps to get the green manager PAT CHAPPELLE. further in the hole. After this man gets in the hole this same performer and other manager that he has not got a good show, doesn't pay money enough, etc. In the morning the green manager has lost all his home, and has to go back to working as he was at first. In hopes to get back to where he was before he made his theat I noticed an article in the New York Age, date September 29. I presume written in a book, "Tip to Theatrical Promoters," Now, Mr. Walton means well in his article, but I am compelled to take issue with him in his article. I make this statement hardly think that Mr. Walton has had a sufficient practical experience as a theatrical manager to properly advise a green manager; make this statement more clearly in his point; carefully advise another in any particular business, why, the adviser must have some practical experience in said business; and make this statement more clearly in his article. Mr. Walton's article, I note that he comments upon a certain rumor that was given out by some real estate dealer in New York, and that colored amusement enterprises are very poor business ventures. I rather think that such advice is not very helpful to the business and to the edge of the business and in reading this article further, I note that Mr. Walton has made some comments upon the Howe Theatres in Washington, he collaring, was no surprise to me to read. this house closing, as the same thing applies to this house as to all the others in the business, closed, as it is due to the lack of management and the proper knowledge of the business. Looking over the theatrical field, more especially the little colored vaudeville man, finds one per cent. hardly, of the little house owners, or owed managers. In most cases it's a young white man, who has had some show experience on some carnival or circus shows, in that, being white, he can easily handle the business, because this performer has more confidence in the white man and his management. The little colored manager has more confidence in getting the people, even after paying more, more per week than this white grafter does. The reasons for this are that the grafter performs has more confidence in the white man, the grafter has learned a little more about the business from the carnival and side show of some circus, which gives him a greater business. This class of amusement house managers is to reduce the Negro profession than any other kind of business. It is daily reducing the profession, and those who may be interested in years from to-day will see a big difference. Now, I trust that the press, Mr. Walton and the public will not take the wrong side of this article, as the same is not written in the book and as I have no ax to grind. My business has been a success, as I have made and saved out of my business in the past fifteen years. I have business, sand dollars, and to-day have a rental income of $600 per month from my real estate. Am now on the eve of retiring from my business, not because my enterprise is not a business, am tired and have a sufficient income to support myself and family. Trusting that you will see fit to publish the above, and that it will have some effect, I remain. Yours respectfully, PAT CHAPPELLE, Owner and Manager of the Foot's Company.
