THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL EXCITEMENT OVER RECENT ELECTION SUBSIDING Of the Sweeping Democratic Victory—Discussion of Reorganization of "Black Cabinet"—Notes of Interest. Thomas R. John C. Dancy, Lawyer Thomas L. Jones and others did some very active campaigning in New York Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania. THE COMING OF LEWIS. The coming of Mr. William H. Lewis to Washington as assistant attorney- general of the United States will give measure to his host of friends at the capital. Mr. Lewis is a lawyer of many offices and both in pleading and in the preparation of court courts, fall in love with any, if peers, in either race. He prove to be a tower of strength in the building of those infractions of the law which like peaage and kindred courages, fall in love with black people of the country. He is a scholar and a man of intense force of character, yet is unassuming in bearing, but is a genial, whole-souled good fellow. Good fellowship will that his name will be sent to the more shortly after the convening of congress in December. As his compet- ence in the place has been so aptly known in the speedily confirmed. The social duties as assistant district attor- ners and superintendent of the Natural- laws in bureau in Boston, no one doubts that he is speedily confirmed. The social duties as assistant district attor- ners a certain local clique, will not weigh the question. Mr. Lewis is too sensible a man to obtrude himself anywhere that he not wanted, and just as other high officials would, will adjust himself to the situation as fits it and stir up nothing akin to a pamphlet among the bourbons. President studied out the entire matter before he was appointed appointment, and he will not now per- mit himself to be swayed by reactionaries who are trying to frighten him by bugbears which have no foundation save in their fervid imagination. It is important that not only will Mr. Lewis secure his appointment at an early date, but that the nomination of Charles A. Cottrill, of Ohio, will be pushed through, others of the profession, by the men of prominence in several states including something handsome in the South. It is evident that President Taft intends to run his administration in his own hands, and that he depend upon being granted a square deal. The lion's share of the credit for bringing about this happy consumption belongs to Mr. Emmett J. Scott, of New York, and to the heart talk with the president at Beverly, and Collector Charles W. Anderson and Assistant District Attorney James A. Cobb, who lent valuable assistance. The rumor is again rife that there will be an effort made at the coming session of congress to reduce the representation of the South, but doubt is expressed both as to its feasibility and its possibility. Now that J. C. Napier is to come as register of the treasury and W. H. Lewis is on his way to be assistant president of the field McKinley, already in the saddle as collector at Georgetown, there is serious discussion as to the wisdom of reorganizing the treasury. The Black Cabinet, preparing reinforced by the Auditor Tyler, Johnson, District Attorney Cobb and Judge Terrell, ought to be an invincible combination, willing to win any of the administration for himself in the way of thinking. The race is insisting upon leaders at Washington who can pull more than their own weight, and great things are expected of these sages to stand as our "Watchmen on the wall." AN EVENING WITH DIRECTOR LEWIS. The Amphibian Glee Club, which for years has stood at the head of the musical activities of the race in Washington, spent "an eventing with Director Helen H. Amphibian and Wednesday in commemoration of the twenty-first(?) birthday of its founder, business manager and "music master," Lewis Lewis, the occasion was one of rare enjoyment. Prof. Lewis acted as toastmaster, by general request, and the club rendered a number of choice selections before the principal songs presented were "A Medley from the South," the march, "Onward," "Over the Hills, at Break of Dawn," the song "Man Am Coming," and "Annie Laurie," besides two special quartettes by members of the organization. The toasts, which were fine examples of the forementioned songs, were presented by President J. H. Washington; "Our Club," C. B. Jefferson; "Our Aim," D. Barbour; "The Ladies" Charles A. Champ; "The Journey through the Rain," R. Johnson; "The Influence of Higher Music" Edward H. Lawson; "The Amphibians as I Have Known them," Amphibian; "The Influence of Higher Music" Journalism; Oliver Randolph; "Book-Lovers" and Music-Lovers; John H. Wills; "Music in Y. M. C. A. Work," Lewis E. Johnson; Prost, Dr. R. Johnson; Elementary remarks were made by Messrs. Walker, Hardy, Diggs, Beal, Robinson and Tolliver. A handsome gold-mounted fountain pen was pre-printed in the magazine and other valuable gifts. The Amphibians are in the twentieth year of their existence and have sung with satisfaction before presidents of the United States, justices of the Supreme Court, and representatives in congress and members of the cabinet and of the diplomatic corps. Its enduring success is due in part to the measure to the presence of deliberate and logical leadership Director Lewis, whose anniversary was thus fittingly observed. --- W. R. Griffin, the chief of the True Reformers of the District of Columbia, is optimistic as to the future of the order. He is of the opinion that the organization of the Reformers must be pursued by the future of the bank at Richmond, and expresses the hope that all may be yet settled to the satisfaction of those who have represented the Reformers in the case presented by the True Reformers. The local body has voted to stand together. Chief Griffin believes that with $120,000 unnumbered assets and an income of $100,000 the order will be able to meet all demands. President James C. Waters, Jr. of the president of Upper Classmen of Howard University, announces the appearance of Prof. W. H. Hart, of the law department, who will deliver his masterpiece, the Classmen in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, Friday evening, December 2, at 8 o'clock. Prof. Hart, having promised last winter to deliver this address, has spent the remainder of the year in unresolved. Permission is free, and the public is invited. The Upper Classmen expect to give the learned educator a rousing welcome. A revival of large proportions has been opened by Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, at the Cosmopolitan Baptist Temple. The board of education has recommended the establishment of a preschool, accessible from the west gate of Howard University as the site for the Normal School No. 2. Rev. J. Milton Waldon, heading a citizens' contingent, protests excessive tuition and demands expensive to grade, and suggests the corner of 4th and W streets. Congress appropriated $40,000 last year for a site for the normal, and the board found a more appropriate location for that sum. The matter will be laid before Congress by Dr. Waldron. An athletic league has been organized in the public schools, under the direction of E. B. Henderson. The Mott School was awarded the Johnson-Duffield trophy for proficiency in athletics. The Mott School is the Howard playgrounds, defeating its nearest competitor, the Orphan Home, by 100 points, and winning the championship. The cup, which is twelve inches high, was presented by Thomas Johnson, physical director of Howard University, and W. S. Duffield, physical director of the Cardozo playgrounds. Miss Georgia G. Moore, late of the Lice School in Washington to take the chair of English and History at the National Training School for Girls at Lincoln Heights. Miss Washington to take the chair of president of this institution, is leaving no stone unturned to make it the best of its kind in the country, and she is constantly building its facilities. The dining hall, erected this summer, is already overcrowded, and steps are being taken to put up a $50,000 building. The newly-installed heating plant is working satisfactorily. Miss Moore is an accomplished instructor and will be a power speaker. Burroughs has been thoughtful enough to provide for this neighborhood, where capable domestic service is at a premium. --- Miss Minnie Brown, the talented vocalist, is playing a return engagement at the Foraker Theater on 20th street. The Howard Theater Stock Company is reproducing L. Leubrie Hill's successful musical comedy, "My Friend from Dixie," this week by special request. "The Black Plum" by Mr. Hill, is in course of preparation. --- Frank Fowler Brown, the popular Hoosier tenor, is booked for an early appearance at Ford Dabney's Theater. Mr. Brown will be remembered for his excellent interpretation of the song "The Red Moon," of Johnson's "The Red Moon last season, and for his splendid rendition of sacred music at St. Luke's P. E. Church and the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on Sundays. * George W. Hamilton, manager of Ford Dabney's, is seriously ill at the Freedman's Hospital. * Capt. J. W. Lyons will be in the city shortly to push the passage of the bill to reimburse the depositors in the ill-fated Freedmen's Bank. Captain Lyons has given several years of free work endeavoring to get the remaining 38 per cent of the bank's old bank, and looks now as if his efforts will be crowded with success. The measure was favorably reported last session by the committee, both houses, and had the report President Obama set a high probability the bill will pass this year, but to make assurance doubly sure, let every Negro in the land make the matter a personal one and urge his member to vote. The report indicated a distribution of over a million and a quarter of dollars where it will do the most good. * . . . Allen M. Daniels, in addition to getting married last week, was promoted to $840 per annum in the office of the commissary general, War Department. Henry P. Slaughter has assumed the editorship of the Odd Fellows Journal at Philadelphia. His family will irremain here for the present. Chester W.

Mr. Hammond is an able young man and is regarded as one of Grand Rapids' solid citizens. The November dates of Clarence Cameron White, the eminent violinist, are: November 21, Detroit, Mich.; November 22, Columbus, Ohio.; November 25, May. His tour this season is successful from every point of view. His engagements last up to May 29. Those who have not booked this excellent attraction should write him at once at 1835 11th street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Rumor has it that John C. Ashbury, the rumor may be named as sub-treasurer at Philadelphia. Such an appointment would give great satisfaction to his host of friends in and out of the three-link order. Mr. Ashbury and possesses a public spirit that has made him a valued citizen wherever his lot has been cast. George H. DeReef, formerly of South Carolina, has been made a regular assist- ant clerk in the Municipal Court at a salary of $1,000 per annum, and is the only colored clerk serving in any of the local courts. His designation was the Court of Appeal, H. Terrell who has been trying for many months to have Mr. DeReef regularly assigned.

The pres and prominent citizens are often some American who is an effort to start "Jim Crow" schools in this city. "Separate Schools are not wanted in Chicago," is the slogan of the press and colored people. This has been evidenced by the etching opposition among colored physicians and newspapers. One Mrs. Mary T. Johnson is said to have been around the city with a petition and had as many as fifty names signed for a segregation organization known as the "Southern Society" is responsible for the scheme and is using Mrs. Mary T.

The meeting was larger than expected and made enduring the idea which is being launched by Dr. Cooper, one of Chicago's female physicians. During the past week there has been a number of colored enterprises launched. Several have opened up in the heart of colored districts which should mean their success. Business thrift and enterprise are biogas of the people on the South Side. --- Several colored policemen are on the closest street to their office, their appointment.

Mrs. Jennie Johnson has sent out 500 invitations to the marriage of her daughter Elizabeth. Two hundred were to St. Paul, the home of the groom to be. During the past week Chicago has been very quiet. The social calendar has been very small. It is expected to be extremely large on and after Thanksgiving. Scott & Savington is the name of the new enterprise that has opened at 2636 State street. Dr. P. J. Scott is the older member of the firm and has been practicing oculist. He has a great success, and the colored people have found him one of the best in the city. Consequently, the oculist, who will sell toilet articles and all kinds of goods in this line, Mr. Savington is a brother-in-law of Dr. Scott, and the two have fitted up a neat room for the oculist to do a large business. They ask the patronage of the people of Chicago. Charles Lett, who is famous all over the country for knitting just how to run a cafe together with Walter Harrington, a former member of the city, has opened up the Twentheenth Century Cafe at 3132 State street.

BATTLE CREEK MICH Special to THE FREEMAN The pastor, director of the Second Baptist church, has resigned to take a larger field in Illinois, his home state. We are sorry to give him up, as he has done such wonderful work since he has been with us. When he came to us as a missionary, he gave up medication very small and members somewhat scattered. Our building was in a bad condition. He set to work immediately, and added membership. He accomplished the following work: The appearance of the building was greatly improved by three coats of paint, a new chimney was built, also cement steps at the front entrance, baptistry was put up and new beds both of the church was beautifully decorated making our church building one of the most beautiful houses of worship among the churches in the city. Rev. Cooper's resignation was not accepted and the church tried to persuade him to stay, offering to increase his salary, but he feels his duty calls him away, and hence he must go. He will be missed in his well-deserved evening, November 27. Our loss will be their gain. May the blessings of Jehovah rest upon this worthy man of WEDDING BELLS Special to THE FREEMAN.

Never Belore within our memory can We recol- Tect of any concern accomplishing such 4 great help tor the common people. No longer need anybody pay six or eight or ten cents a pound ior sugar, tor the Union price Is now three cents. As ev- erybody uses suxar about every day in the year, the great effect of Uils move will In time be felt throughout the en- tire land, in the home of every, family. "The International Liberty Union of the World, which has its principal office in this city, has formed a co-operative union company to furnish all the things that the members of the Union eat, wear and use at whole ale prices. ‘So great hag been the success of this plan that the Union members are now xetting thelr sugar at the wonderful low price of three cents per pound. No matter what kind of sugar they want— brown, light or granulated—it is all at three ‘cents a pound; and other things are sold proportionately at low whole- Sale, prices. ‘This is certainly a move in the right direction, and one that our readers will take great satisfaction in being In- formed about. ‘Anyone that wants to know all about this Union movement, which is sweep- ing the country, should write a letter asking for intormation to the I.

THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER At the Detroit convention, held in 1868, a colored delegate from the New York Colored Association, in addressing the convention, said he had been received by the convention. This was never more fully experienced by any group of colored men attending the convention than in Toronto, at the thirty-fourth convention of October 28-31, 1910. The president of the convention made the following comment: "Wonderful unity. Men of many Christian churches, of many nations, of differing faiths, of different classes, socially, educationally, etc.; all men of strong convictions and feelings, and yet not a jar of discort." This fully characterizes this great gathering, and the section of the American continent, with representation from the remote parts of the earth. This convention meets every member of the association, the United States and Canada, regardless of color, have the privilege of representation. This meeting was of especial interest to us as a race, for it was in Toronto, thirty-four years ago, that this convention was held. The men which resulted in a liberal subscription being made by delegates present. Sir George Williams, of London, England, founder of the association, was present, and he gave the key to only gift he ever made to an American association. At this convention there was no colored delegate, though a number attended previous conventions, beginning with the Kind-hearted Christian, white men from the South and North plead our cause. It is interesting to note that Southern men who were true friends made the first applause, and the theatric men from the North, and many of these men, on both sides, had fought against each other in the great American conflict. The convention just closed there were eighteen colored delegates present, covering a territory extending from New York to New Orleans, and as far west as Iowa. A number of the men were trained secretaries, and this important work among colored men. The work had grown in the thirty-four years from a few feeble efforts to 135 association, with 12,000 members. At this time, the organization had grown to Ga., the organizer of two associations, namely, New York and Augusta, Ga., was our representative on the program. No man who appeared on the platform was given greater influence with this exceptional audience, and no man's address was more favorably commented upon by all the delegate than his. His appeal for Christian practice greater influence on practical Christianity, including every race, was simply wonderful. The daily press gave a very full report of his wonderful address. It was a straightforward and clear message of life and development of a race which loves the country and its institutions. Rounds of applause punctuated his most trenchant statements, showing that the heart of the Christian community rests to right and justice; and as truly as the night follows the day, when the temporary nightmare of designing politicians and avaricious novelists has passed, we will be surrounded by the consequences of defiled Christianity alone can bring to races and nations. No one can read the following resolution, adopted unanimously by this convention, without taking fresh purpose. "Resolved, in view of the urgent need for aggressive effort among colored young men, that this convention urge upon the International local boards of directors, the claims upon our associations of this work and these young men." And when it is remembered that memorials are desired such recognition by resolution and were denied it, and the department for colored men so recognized, it is an additional reason for reloicing and hopeful owner of the land, the American Indian, with only one representative, who was only allowed to stand up before the convention without a word to say as against eighteen strong, forceful men, who were derated from bondage, given a conscious place on the program for one of their own number, to plead for his race as well as his nation, it is clear evidence of the ability of men to rise to the scale of true civilization. With the final word, recommending in the strongest Christian terms the agency of the church and kindred organizations as a solvent for all problems, as the means best suited for the adjustment of the church and for the quartette softly chanted Harriett Beecher Stowe's famous hymn, "Still, Still with Thee," we all determined to so work at the beginning of this new epoch in the field of two millions of young colored men, that great generosity could be dreaded of by those in the past. THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION. Growth and Progress of Country Mentioned and Blessings Which Over- WASHINGTON, D. C.—President Taft, in his annual Thanksgiving day proclamation, "of Almighty God and to return heartfelt thanks to Him for all His goodness and loving kindness and compassion for owls." "This year we draw to a close. The records of population and harvests, which are the index of progress, show vigorous growth throughout this land and in our possessions beyond the seas. These blessings have not descended upon us in restricted areas, but they are the blessings and bounty of God. At Peace with the World. PRINCIPAL WASHINGTON ABROAD Probably this country has now, and rarely has had, an unofficial representative abroad, representing his countrymen with more dignity and credit than Booker Washington, on a European tour of investiture in Denmark the Balkans, Italy and Germany. Incidents of the flattering reactions that have been tendered him in the highest social and official circles have been from time to time, but as yet we have had few inside glimpses of the impression he has been making upon his entertainers and the classes that they represent. A writer in the London Christian World, who has been particularly interested in taking the measure of this leader's personality, has given his little with respect to his experiences in England, through which he has been merely passing on his way to more intimate practical studies. It has long been known here that Mr. Washington was a native of the United States, a sentative of his country and his cause abroad, the exercise of that quality rises almost to the level of diplomacy. One afternoon he held a levee for journalists after we were so many of them that they had to sit on steamer trunks, portmanteaus and stools, as well as on sofas and chairs, and watched the Negro leader parrying at hot and incessant fusillade of questions. It was combat of wits, one wit pitched in opposition to a smoker pressing for opinion, views and opinions of * * * * . Not all the combined ingenuity of the interviewers could invigilege him, but he shows himself a level-headed, keen-witted man of affairs, consciously bent on stout regarding the truth, and, above all, not to be in透�ured into controversial depths. The same observer saw him again in a quite different circle, and "the splendid dignity of the man" made a deep impression upon him. He "was holding his own hand" and "he was the leading members of the National Liberal Club. Speaking of the honors which have been bestowed on Dr. Washington by American universities, and their effect on his life, it remains a simple, unaffected, courtly, quite unsnoiled and without a suggestion of the bumptiousness which prosperous Negroes are admittedly prone to affect." Asked if the Negro had a better chance in the job than the Englishman, laughingly said he would shelter himself behind the ophion of an Englishman, and quoted Sir Harry Johnston's conclusion in his book, "The Negro in the New World, to the effect that in America he better gets a better labor than in almost any country in the world."-Editorial in Boston Transcript.

Not so barbarous as one might imagine. Meat has come tumbling down from its high pinacle; not very hard, it is said, but just enough to show how it got up there. Perhaps when the mayor gets in his new official home he will be "at home" for a few weeks. He is all torn up owing to his prospects of moving. The Negro voters the country over showed the spirit of political independence. Why not? The problem of race progression is not between Negroes and Democrats. Mr. Geo. L. Knox, of The Freeman, wants it understood that he started out as a progressive in 1902. His Anderson speech of that date declared his stand. THE BEUTIFUL CITY HALL. Mayor Shank wants to get in the city hall right away for fear the Democrats in their winning streak may get it away from him. Don't blame the mayor very much for being in a hurry to get into such a building. Not on account of any fear of the Democratic obstruction, but because it is a temple of beauty whose possession should not long be delayed. Very much should be thought of Chas. A Bookwalter for his great efforts in making it possible for this monument of pride before he retired from office. Many a man would have cared nothing about the future in that enduring sense when he saw no prospects of enjoying it himself. This temple, that appears at this time tucked around the corner is vastly more than the people think of it today. It does appear a trifle out of the way, but it will be but a short time before willing feet will find its whereabouts, the loveliest block of granite in all the land. Well, not so strong, perhaps, As delightful a pile of marble, stone, granite, bronze as the human mind and hands could conrive, it appears. The hand of beauty was most lavish here. Architect, sculptor, mason, plumber conspired against the ugly and monstrous; called up this creation as some Aladdin. O, it's a beauty and a joy forever. In the language of Sheba, the hall has never been told. For no one excepting the workmen have seen this "enchantment" as a whole. The glimpses from the outside, however, have been sufficient from which to make the story complete with a little imagination. Take it from us that the citizens of Indianapolis have a gem of a hall where they will fondly loiter, intoxicated by the delights that meet the eye. The mayor ought to make an excellent officer in such a building. Indeed the citizens will expect as much from Mr. Shank and his officials as is typed in Corinthian columns and other representations of past art and which had its equal in letters. Art-equalled men, letters equalled men, meaning liberally, breadth of view and such like, a scope in which all men may be found if they will it. We hope the building will be none too good for the men from the standpoint of fitness. THE HOME SANITARIUM Through the energy of Dr. H. Kennibrew, of Jacksonville, Ill., the Home Sanitarium has been established in that city. Dr. Kennibrew is justly proud of his institution and in referring to it says, "We have been operating this institution for seventeen months and have performed eighty-three operations with the loss of only three." The nurses also are colored, hence the cause for gratification. It is pleasing to note the pride exhibited by the doctor; it is an evidence of race soul having in mind that peculiar aid and benefits that come through such channels. Hospitals and sanitariums are more or less the work of charity, meaning at the bottom charitably disposed individuals who do not count their gain in dollars and cents, but feel well paid in that they have the approbation of men. Many communities where colored people live in considerable numbers have these worthy institutions—hospitals and various asylums—for the care of the sick, poor and aged. These are aside from the public institutions, which, as careful as they may be, will not appeal as private kept institutions. The sick and afflicted above all know this, and since an element of psychology does enter the healing art—a hapy soul, a whole soul, so it is wisdom to bring those things to pass that contribute to this state of mind or soul or whatever it may be that must be satisfied that the best results follow. Dr. Kennibrew is to be congratulated in being the pioneer in the movement in his town. Jacksonville is not a large city, but the qualities seem to be there, and it appears that the doctor has pitched his tent aright. In common with similar, institutions everywhere, we hope him success. FOR BISHOP TO AFRICA Rev. Dr. J. W. Wood the Logical Candidate. The Rev. A. J. Rogers, D. D., presiding elder of the Mobile District of the West Alabama Conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, is not a candidate for the bishopric of Africa, but is a candidate in common with others for the bishopric. The Rev. J. W. Wood, D. D., is pastor of the State Street A. M. E. Zion church, Mobile, Ala., and is the only logical candidate for the episcopacy for the African work. Dr. Wood will sail for Africa about January 20th next. He will spend two or three months on the west coast. He will visit Quittah, Gold Coast, West Africa, Brewerville, Cape Coast, Monrovia, Freetown and perhaps all the out stations and mission schools in the interest of his church. The story of his travels and experiences will be given to The Freeman for publication. Dr. Wood is a personal friend of the management and editor of The Freeman. ANNISTON, ALA.

PAST WEEK AT NEW YORK National Association for the Advancement of Negro Meet SUSAN FREEMAN. NEW YORK, N.Y. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which Dr. W. E. B. Dubois is director, held an interesting public meeting on the subject of the race. M. E. Church. Dr. Dubois, the distinguished sociologist and economist, and formerly of Atlanta University, outlined the problems of the race and said the aim of the movement was to combat race prejudice and open up places on work for the Negro. Others who spoke at the meeting were Rev. Dr. M. C. B. Mason, of Cincinnati, secretary of the Association; Rev. Lovinggood, president of Sam Houston College; O'Connor, of Mississippi, and Mrs. A. W. Hunton. Dr. Dubois has taken up residence in a New York, and will devote his life to the cause. He has associated with him some of the most influential men and women of the country. The headquarters of the association are at the Evening Post building, 20 Vesey street. --- The Abyssinia Baptist Church, one of the largest of the Negro churches here, is making preparation to celebrate its one hundredth anniversary.

The leaders refuse to discuss the defeat, but it is thought that in a few years the usual spirit around the club will be resumed. Hon. C. W.

Every reference to the life of the noted woman authoress was recorded, a feature of the meeting was the singing of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK Republicans Unable to Account for Wholesale Defeat. Special to THE FREEMAN. Another striking instance of the necessity for this reform grew out of an altercation between one of the young lady professors and another of the professors of a young professor. A few years ago one of the young professors married a girl out of the class that he was teaching, the good fortune of this young lady was looked upon as a sign of envious eyes. From that moment the girls of our high school began to carry their books as a mere perfunctory matter, not increase their intelligence to study, not increase their intelligence to please some professor. Many of our boys are also in love with the girls, but handicapped by lack of funds, and unable to keep up with the demands of study, to rival so formidable, become disheartened, leave school, deprived of the proper training that the State owes them, to make ourselves good citizens and to meet the needs of our school. The parents argue that our boys and girls are exposed to every odious temptation, while around the white boys we have a pure shield and safeguard for their protection, we press publishes with great gusto the fortunes of our race whose names are written on the annals of crime; when, as a matter of fact, if a little care was taken to the age of discretion, it would be a great saving to the State, a true uplifting of the race, and a purer moral atmosphere for the training and moral culture it is still felt necessary to shield the white child from tendencies in the case of the black child, who is the home life and an idea of duty. This newly elected commission was chosen from a group of gentlemen, eminent in character, to give the young professors a great trust committed to their hands. After they have taken charge of the school affairs they will be memorialized upon this subject, and it is its firmly believed and accepted that its consideration very highest and best thought, and a due appreciation of the magnitude of its importance. We have no harsh word of censure for the boys, and no fault of either, but merely the result of a vicious system. The Houston The bill at the Houston last week was a hummer. It consisted of Taylor and Taylor, who are mother and son. They did a song and dance, with a running conversation of witticisms that was clear, clear, crispy, and as a team they are hard to beat. Mr. Earl Walker is very comical in his manners and sayings, and his song, entitled "The Green Grass Grows All Around." The Green Grass Grows All Around. Cleopatra, in whose time it was composed, age cannot wither it, nor custom stale its infinite variety. The man who can make a hit with this song must be full of client and would be a scream in anything else. The song is a great deluge of the duet from "Il Trovatore" brought the audience to their feet. They were applauded to the echo. Their singing was of a very high order and quite a great deluge of rag songs that lower the tone of their work was simply beyond all praise. The bill for the present week consists of Willie Davenport, comedian and dancer; Jerome and Leroy, an acrobatic team; and the band. We wish the greatest measure of success to the management of this house, and therefore we offer the following criticism in the most kindly spirit: First, the show that is being performed by the stage manager contains some one vtm, dash and dispatch behind the curtain. In the next place, the orchestra, though composed of individuals who are masters of their respective instruments, the stage manager striving to see who can play the loudest, and oftentimes very few words can be understood from the singers. They lack expression and soul in their music, and we want instructions to the players. Another mistake that has been very much noted is that during the time the orchestra is playing, the lights are turned low and the reverse should be the case. The gentleman who beats the drums must be subdued. He has a force and aggressiveness that would do credit to Jack Johnson. This is a most beautiful playhouse and deserves support. The co-operation between the Houston and the Love have been a fruitful source of mutual helpfulness. The sensation of the week was the first appearance of city, since her trip abroad, of Madame Lafayette, whose reputation as a prima donna has needed her here, and excited much anxiety here. She people to listen to her singing. She voice of great range, flexibility and sweetness, certainly did herself great credit and described what is possible of achievement of hard work. After hearing her singing her number, it seems a sacrifice to hear that, in response to an encore with a rascal but such is the public craze after that kind of muscle that the performer must give the voice of the singer. In the Mr. Joe Sandifer film, himself the sobriquet of "The Laugh King, and he is very secure in his title.

AT THE CHICAGO THEATERS BY CARY B. LEWIS. Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 15.—Mr. Clarence Cameron White appeared at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church last Wednesday night, and was joined by his wife, the Club. It was one of the most successful musicals that has been heard here for quite awhile. It was an occasion when a distinct definite line could be drawn between the two groups. Art. A and that line, distinct as it is, is always decernable even to the ordinary lover of music. It was welcomed before a most appreciative audience and the artist very faithfully interpreted for us the classic design of Mendelssohn, the tuneful romanticism of Schuman and d'Ambrosia, Wagstaff and the Renaissance, the evening elegance of the Belign Vieuxtemps. He played the Mendelssohn Concerto with a plan and finish which invariably puts an audience at ease. This was its purpose. Mr. Clarence Cameron's Trammerie was somewhat original and smooth and rythmic and his interpretation was decidedly pleasing. With dash and vigor and it brought forth tremendous applause. But in the final number the "Fantasie Caprice" of Vieuxtemps Mr. White appeared at his best. The second section of the recital was eriously bumpy and pleasing. It is seldom in the field of artists that we meet a personality so gracious, so sinister, so obstructive. Mr. Whit attracted many new acquaintances and he made a lasting impression with his glowing evidence of Chicago's people organization worth by crowding the house at an early hour and remained until the last number of hours. Mr. White was ably accompanied by Miss Gertrude Jackson and was assisted in the program by the Umbrian Glee Club, Chicago. He warmed congratulations for its good work along musical lines. Under the direction of a nable elader it has shown success in the future. It did its best work with Tosti's "Goodbye." Mr. White left on November 14 for a visit to the University, and The Freeman representative takes pleasure in urging all who have an opportunity to hear him to do so. Before leaving Mr. White paid The Freeman headquarters a The Goodloe's Mr. John Goodloe and Mrs. Ella Hoke Goodloe is the team that is attracting more than unusual notices in Chicago, the city where he and his househouses have played returned dates after return dates at the Grand in Chicago, and on each occasion they are a big success, with many of the guests being Louisvillians, and Mr. Goodloe has been in the show business for over a decade, working with Oliver Scott and P. G. Lowery. Five years ago he went into vaudeville. Since their appearance in vaudeville they have traveled all through the city, and they have great praises from managers and patrons. Mr. Goodloe is one funny comedian. While he has ten or more sketches in his repertoire, he has a distinct hit. He has a song and make- HE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Up for each one, also a change of comedy. He has a clever soubatee and dances with ease since the season. The "Dying Rag" and "Lovie Joe." At the Grand this week they have with them Blink Mason, another Louisville boy. They bring out in a humorous way what a friend will do with a friend's wife. They introduce a new song, "My Friend," which is always at the Goodloe's are always welcome at Louisville, Cincinnati and Chicago. and would like to hear from them any time. We also send best wishes to Nos. 3, 4 and 5, our favorite Jacksburg, Greenville and Jackson, respectively. Regards to all the profession. THE CINCINNATI THEATERS—THE PEKIN, THE GAITHER. At the theaters, during the week past, the bills were well balanced, the Pekin succeeding in getting quite an improve- The Monogram. Madam Arnita Wilkens opened the bill Monday night. She is the high soprano singer that makes notes with perfect ease and though very hoarse on Monday night Madam Wilkens sang very effectively and pleasing "All I Ask is Love," "Arcadia," a concert song, and Ideal of My Dreams. She is just as funny as any team seen at the Monogram, and the audience certainly appreciates their fun. They sing "Camp Meeting Time," "What You Don't Expect" and "Ode to the Cowboy," the pretty number of the evening was that of the James Sisters. It is a neat act and above the ordinary seen at this theater. In fact, there is some class music to be played. It is in these two women. Their notes are sweet and blend harmoniously together. Their costumes are pretty from the audience and present a most pleasing effect. They sing "Carmen," just "Too Sweet to I" and "Jazzing of the Singing." The Carolina Four, composed of Clarence Chase, Phillip Johnson, Fred Davis and Demosthenes Jones, is that laugh-provoking four and singers. They close with a beautiful song, and Madam Davis do most of the singing, while the quartet rounds out some excellent numbers. Mr. Kline has a good show and it will be well patronized the rest of the The Grand. The Grand is still keeping up its reputation for good shows for the small sum of one thin dime, and those that have thin folds are more popular, and those who follow 'Jes' make 'em laugh. Goodoof and Goodoof were the hit of the bill on Monday night, using Slim Mason to get out more comedy in their act than usual. They were also the roars of laughter and they sing "Road," a song that tells a story of the sketch. There is Miss Lillian Brown, the girl with the bright and charming eyes that make her a standout. She touches the soubrette that scored a big hit at the Grand two weeks ago and she did not to "make good" on Monday night. Her song, numbers "Dreaming Man," loved the two numbers "Miss Brown" makes a lightning change and a peapars as a Mexican and sings with motion effect "Afro Mexican Queen." On Tuesday night Miss Brown sang, but danced, making a bigger hit. The Ransomss are holdovers. At any rate they went big as ever. They do a Samoan dance and feature rag time gildes and close with a dance. Both get many Taylor and Price are a dancing team. Miss Price sings "Sugar Moon," O, I the dancer in the dance, and Taylor is a clever dancer and tumbler. The whole bill was good and standing room on the outside is at a premium to get a seat on the insite. Miss Marie Barton returned to the city Monday from Cincinnati. Madam Rosa Lee Teyler and Mrs. Ivy Hubard have returned to the city from a trip to Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Louisville. They were very successful at each place and will return before the season closes. Mr. Clarence Tisdale, the celebrated singer is no longer with the Pekin Stock Company. Mr. Frank Fowler Brown passed the thrilling Fowler Brown passed brother Harry and wife in an Indian act, Mr. Frank Brown is the well-known tenor singer, formerly with the "Red Moon." Ten thousand of Chicago theatergoers will try to gain admission to the Grand during the first opening, opening to Stewart and Marshall, will be the headliners and will open the new Grand. Already Mr. Smith and the manager have been besieged by friends of the theater and his assistants to put their names down for tickets. The contract has been made and sealed and these two admirers of the "stroll" will be born to play in the new playing the ney playhouse. Although Stewart and Marshall will be East, the contract states that they can be notified a week beforehand that they can appear in the new house, have their other engagements put back. They left Sunday for the East and will be back on Monday, they will be the only house that they will positively play in Chicago at any time soon. Miles Harris, trap drummer at the Chicago Theater, will be nearly two years. One year and a half he has been at the Grand. Harris is a Louisville boy and is making good in the "Windy City." We do not know Miss Mildred Miller, but she certainly has a most cleverly written article in The Defender last week, "A Critic Critized" was her subject and she handled it nicely, quoting Catline and Pope's "Essay on Criticism." Catline and Pope. Russell read the article, for it referred to the "foremost critic" of the race. --- W. C. Sweatman's "Down Home Rag" has been sold to Will Rossiter for a neat sum. Mr. Miller, of the Monogram, will have a four-foot vestibule in front of his theater. We have received a number of letters asking why something has not appeared in these columns about the Pekin. "No Place Like Home" was the title of the last play we saw at the Pekin and the criticism was not to the liking of the proprietor and he refused to sell us a ticket. Dudley and his "Smart Set" is due to arrive in Chicago December 4 and remain until December 17. Welcome, Dudley, Chicago is awaiting you. Lillian Brown sends regards to all friends in and out of the profession. C. M. McDonald, of Memphis, Tenn., is in the city and sends regards to friends at Memphis. William Dorsey, Sweatman and Peyton are the big trio that are doing all the music arranging around Chicago and points an over country, country, country, it could make good, send it to them and they will larrange it ready for the publisher. All of them are clever young musicians and have been very successful time. Read Dorsey's ad in The Freeman. SAVOY THEATER, MEMPHIS. We are packing them nightly. We opened this week with a very funny farce comedy, "A Stranded Minstrel Show. The action takes place on an Indian seascape, with a giant elephant leading the role as owner of the show; Mr. Billy Mills as big Chief Sitting Bull; Mr. Earthquake and Slim Henderson carrying off the comedy roles. The rest of the cast includes Indian actors in the war dance, taken from the famous Yaqui Indians of Mexico, and arranged by Prof. McGill, who is quite familiar with that tribe of Indians. Mr. Mills makes a huge effort to portray the Indian with a monologue and features Bert Williams' latest hit, "You Going to Get Something You Don't Expect." Miss Essex, who plays the Indian, "In Dear Old Tennessee," Mr. Dave Perdue is singing "Big Sensation" with much success. Miss Kite Fisher is featuring "That Chinatown Jack," and getting her usual encores. Mr. Memphis Pleick kept the house in an uproar. It opened with Miss Estelle Smith, singing "Play That Rag," Miss Estelle Harris following her in the role of the earthquake followed with "Christening the Baby." Mr. Boyd sang "Dixie Dan." Slim Henderson closed with "Dinner Is Now Ready in the Dining Room. Mr. Mills is portraying the Indian, German, Spanish and the tramp. Our stock company is fairly balanced at present. We are expecting new acts in most any time. We are also expecting new actors who are at the Temple Theater at present. and would like to hear from them any time. We also send best wishes to Nos. and companies which are in Vicksburg, Greenburg, Regina and effectively. Regards to all the profession. THE CINCINNATI THEATERS—THE PEKIN. THE GAITHER. At the theaters, during the week past, the bills were well balanced, the Pekin succeeding in getting quite an improvement over their other bills for several weeks. Jacy Shepherd opened the bill as usual, and Shadney have a very funny act, and were well received during the week. Frank Montgomery and company close the bill with a nice turn, and the bill is very good. They choose between the bill this week and the one last week. Clifford Green, who has been seen here a number of times before, has a new partner by the name of Johnson. They have a good act. Green's work is very good, and he often good team on the bill is Thomas and arm. They have a neat, very funny turn. At the Gather, Carrie Stitche and Dolly Sweeney were held over for another week. Two women, who were good: in fact, this is the first team that has been held over, that, really, has been held over. That, really, Miss Marie E. Burton, a vocalist, who has unusually sweet voice, followed them on the bill and proved to be one of the best vocalists in this section. In this section for a long time, Clark and Taylor closed the bill with a very clever act. These two boys are good and should be given a chance to house this week has entirely new acts Hayden and Vaughn open with a good house. They are followed by a Mexican Trio, a group of three ordinary, especially for these class houses. KENNER AND LEWIS IN VAUDE- VILLE IN THE SOUTH.

Manager Frank Crowd recently offered to the patrons of the Globe Theatre a dramatic playlet by Tim Owsley entitled "When your Sins Find You Out"; and I watched him play the role who saw it.

Mr. Owsley was a Mose Green, the father, Joe Simms; Tilly Green, the mother, Lena Mitchell; Tilly Green, the daughter, Billy Higginbotham; hand, Billy Higginbotham; Salle Brown, who told of Dr. Hyde's sminn, Bessie Brady; Jim Stokes, who loved the daughter, Walker Thompson; Dr. Hyde, whose sons found him out, Tim Owlsley.

JACK, WIGGINS (GINGER) AT MEMPHIS, TENN. I take this opportunity to thank you for the many past favors you have done me through the columns of your great friend, I wish to say, however, that I am still working and am receiving letters every week from managers here in the South where I am certain to hear of their engagements, to thank them, say that I have not been idle for lack of some place to work in the last six months. I would have had people that we have hosted, and thank you for our work as being performers of good ability, we thank our friend knockers that we have been in Memphis, Tenn., working at Pekin. There we have about twenty more weeks to fill in this section of the South. This is a nice house here with a good manor, and we have a charge of the stage and is putting on shows that please the Pekin patrons to a certainty. He is now rehearsing a show for Thanksgiving week, that, from the handouts, will surpass all his past efforts. Our chief knocker, however, was in the person of the male party of the team we were with Cox—I think the first name was Jimmy. Now, Mr. Cox, I wish to say that as a dancer I have never lost a contest since I have been in the South, and have enlisted in the Army. I have over Kid Brooks, the best ever seen in that city before we danced for a good side bet. Ask Mr. Joe—he won on my finishing first. I won easily. The management even held the show for the contest, and I was very impressed. Can you say the same? You also told Mr. Sword of Chattanooga. CHE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Tenn., that I could not do anything, not even dance. This was said in the presence of one of my friends—one Gus E. Butter. Do you know this? Now to you, all of your other dancers. All of you meet all for a side bet. You can be accommodated anywhere from $25.00 to $200.00. Now et set you to take some of it. We pay your expenses back if you lose, providing you bet above the sum of $150.00. Hoping you will not take the meaning of this challenge as an insult, I am sincere in making this statement as a fair one. My best regards to all friends in and out of the profession. My brother, Kid Thomas (the expert dancer), write to me. Yours respectfully, JACK (GINGER) WIGGINS, Team of Wiggins and Wiggins, 98 South 4th street Memphis, Tenn. "A RABBIT'S FOOT" COMPANY, ME RIDIAN, MISS. JONES' FAMOUS OLD PLANATION SHOW. LYRIC THEATER, NEWPORT NEWS, VA. BY LA MOTTE. JOHNSON'S VAUDEVILLE CAREER INTERESTING. "I think," responded Johnson, smilingly, "do you sign some such paphe. I ain't got to be a bit surprised if Mr. Gibbs has it." The trip to appear for Seymour Hicks was delayed, and he returned at a loss. This was before Jeffries had consented to make a spectacle of himself for something like $250,000. The Gibbs contracts and the Marriott "these guys" contract with Mr. Theise makes more. Johnson will have more English contracts than any English manager has titles. DR. M. A. MAJOR, OF CHICAGO, WRITES ELOQUENTLY OF DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Although it may not be news to the readers of The Freeman that Dr. Booker T. Washington, during his stay in Europe, was entertained by a king and queen, and was also a guest at Skilo Castle, the name of Andrew Carnegie, the founder of the American that he was a guest of the Confederated Reform Societies of London and other great cities; yet there may be some kind of a lesson wrung out of it all in philosophical deduction that may redound to the ambitions of aspiring colored manhood. Mr. Washington was interviewed by the great papers of London. This, in itself, was a great honor coming to the man who was the great "cheap niggers" frothing at the mouth because he saw fit to say that he ought to know better than Dr. Washington how the Negro is getting on in the United States? Is it not a fact that he is making states the excursions through the South and studying the unequal population between the races, and their general welfare? It is a foolish notion that every Negro that is killed or cruelly punished treats the white man for worse than the Negro is being treated. (Pardon this disgression.) Whenever a distinguished Negro receives consideration in the world that is commensurate to his portion in life, then it is a kindly favor bestowed upon every Negro throughout world. It is a credit to the American Negro that Booker T. Washington is popular throughout the whole world, and other in fact, the American people are proud of Booker T. Washington. Mr. Roosevelt recently traveled over the continent telling the people higher up that he would travel over the continent telling the people of the lower down how they can daid themselves to rise. We are fully confident that our greatest asset is his ability and position, leaving no great thing for the good of his race undone, if it was in his power to do it. Any people indeed may feel proud to have been a part of Mr. Washington, and have him sojourn in their midst for a short season. There is no question as to his great magnetism and character power, then his spirit of the dead selfs into the optimism where his great soul abides. After all, what does it protend? Here is the greatest character of the world, fully the most noble spirit of our dead selfs into the optimism where his great soul abides. After all, what does it protend? Here is the greatest character of the world, fully the most noble spirit of our dead selfs into the optimism where his great soul abides. More than words can express this moment at the gates of the Philistine. It is portentous of peace, of plenty, and the surest of right and privileges in rapid advance. Boker T. Washington, like Douglass, is God appointed to perform a work that could never be committed to feeble hands. He is high tide of "least resistance" in the wake of Dr. Washington's service to his race gives more to the race than the race gives to the candidate of the best civilization in taking him freely, acceptably and seriously is a divine prophecy, fortelling the noble spirit that must are lone伎 act all manking. The world has waited thousands of years in a slumbering drowse, dull to the deep import of brotherly love, or the deep import of what the message he brings to a prejudice world? "No man shall drag me down by making me hate him." Here is the answer. You will and reckon as you may, it can not be disputed by his rankest enemies that his power is great and adequate to the work to which God has assigned him. Nothing has diverted him from the noble course of his stalwart ambition. His life is calm and serene, and the surmount in every simple act of his the gladdening theme of race progress and race uplift. Every age has had its potent advocates and benefactors; and for every patriot for whom a grave is marked in letters of gold and for whom a monarch always will be, infamous bigots by the hundreds who only become known by becoming hated for advancing irritating opinions. He must an honor to the race to have as one of its members so noble a character, whose position and personality is not even dimmed when standing at aounts of kings or queens, the president of the greatest republic on earth. His work and worth will shine when the competence must shine out, and give inspiration to the poet who delights to sing of noble men. The present age in dealing with its complex problems must be by the work of him who does the most. It will often times turn its human ear to the frailties and frivolities of the same. So another age must write his same lyrical Whoever the coming poet or historian may be, when dealing with the noble impulses of Booker T. Washington, who he possesses, the elegance of defiance will climb himself to fame in handling properly a subject which holds the entire world entranced.

To the Members and Many Friends of Allen Chapel A. M. E. Greetings. It is with great pleasure that I address this, my first, letter to you.

The trustees have fitted up our home, at 12345 Avenue of the Americas, which we give every member and friend a cordial invitation. We are glad of the spirit of fellowship and community among our members, and let each member do his part in the continuation of this unity.

In order to make Allen Chapel what God wants it to be, we must make it holy to him or her to be. Let no member say "I am not needed or wanted to work in the church," for God and the church want to devote themselves to God, to devote themselves to Christianity. All that God and the church ask of any man or woman is to be a Christian and live so that their conduct will not bring a reproach upon the church.

Azalia Hackley presented her protege, Mary Fitzhugh, the blind orphan soprano, to an audience of music and a timeless admiration of aampson's Chapel last Wednesday evening. Much has been said of Miss Fitzhugh since her discovery at St. Louis a short time ago. Madame Hackley has been unstinted in praise of the girl's voice, her talents in various directions, causing many to think of her as another Helen Keller. She has been the model for the house, was not long in deciding that Mary Fitzhugh was a real find. This has in mind her voice, her singing ability, her memory and so forth. Very much may not be said of her literary effort, reciting, declaiming or her posing, since in these she may be the subject of opinion, be set aside as simply good. Mary Fitzhugh excels in voice, in execution, things sufficient enough to distinguish her if carried to their utmost. Nature was niggarly when waiting on her to mature snatched a voice divine, and implanted it there; and by this right divine she belongs to the class of the immortal. It is the best singing voice in the world. It has that peculiar warmth, or mellowness, or magnetism that appeals to all. It is a broad voice, a soul voice, so remarkable in the duets sang by her and the madame. Liquid, limp are the two discursive forms that be applied to listening for her one of the sweetest singers of the age and destined to be one of the greatest. She is yet a student, and one who, if properly cared for, will pay Space will not permit meeting of her various renditions. Sufficient to say that she runs readily the whole gamut of her operas, classical, sentimental songs, down to the ballad, treating all with artistic consideration. High voice or low voice—all she touches turn to gold, setting her forth with so much assurance: she is justified in asking the public to see to it that this woman of the one great talent does not bury it or hide it. Her success means race success. Just so it is with Mary Fitzhugh. Madame Hackley finds that she will not be able to continue the tour with her owing to the lack of success, and paired by the absorbing attention to the debutante. The public, however, does not need to give her up. Her success is the race's success. Madame Hackley in her dues with Miss Fitzhugh she shared that she has lost nothing of her art. She, too, is touched with the spark divine to which she has added incessantly the toll of the years, until she stands fond of the greatest creations of art. She is a most lovely woman to whom nature was most prodigal. JOTTINGS FROM SHEFFIELD, ALA. Special to THE FREEMAN SPRINGFIELD, MA. Bishop Washington of the Independent A. M. E.
