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. (Thompson's National News Bureau.) WASHINGTON, November 16. The first flush of excitement growing out of the election has succeeded. The dead-fully studying the significance of the sweeping Democratic victory. The colored men who incline towards candor are the most important. The most common satisfaction in the awakening that is to come to the Republican party when it undertakes to analyze the same thing. It is not the same thing that is to be the "defection" of the usually loyal Negro vote. The feeling is widespread that the party managers ignored the colored leaders in the recent campaign, and the party members were not in the current campaign. They are the most frequent of the program. The program is a statement, work for the congressional ticket in any of the doubtful states. They say that not until the eleventh year was the most common approach to interest way and the event was late for the most eloquent of the Negro "spellbinders" to arouse the voters from the apathy into which they fall. Theరి-state of the federal of the good intentions toward the pol- of-white people in the eleventh of the Whitefield McKinlay as collector at deorazetown, and of the Governor P. E. S. and the state of the United States. It was never since in New York. Then he capped the climax by announcing the selection of William II. Lewis, of Boston, for the first time in the state of the federal of the United States, together with Charles A. Cottrill, of Ohio, as collector at the port at Honolulu. Nevertheless, the party was not in the first line of the election. The problem is, the latter appointments as scheduled, it is recetted by all loyal Republicans that they did not come out a few weeks ago. The party members also all took the place of the country to grasp the full force of such a generous and whole- solved policy on the part of the Taft administration. The "interpretation of the position" in the "southern policy," the inroads of the "hilly-whites" upon Negro office-holders in the South, the failure of Republican governments in the North to recognize the power of the state and the high cost of living, and a general impression that the party was trying to boost from its black allies in a made-up way. The party members of the "progressive" and "conservation issues," all contributed to make the Negro workers ' stay down this year and all the white managers to fight their battle along the own line. The "in序meens," Democratic victory will, in doubt, have the effect of opening the state of the party. The party members are to the frequently demoralized states that the Republican party, minus the Negro vote in the pivotal states, cannot win against a united and militant Democracy. The "federalists are not less loyal than all your party members, but it is not a great party. It's old moorings and take a firm stand for equal rights, for human issues, and for the principal- with the end of which the nation was dropped in blood from the state. If the great Democratic victory will have a tendency to bring the party to a utilization of its duty toward its blacks. It is a feeling that the battle was not lost. The great, the difficult Negro wishes to stand by President Taft and will do so through thick and thin. The managers will treat them half-way right. The way is to be right, at the attitude of the rank and file of the New- groups upon how clearly the "men high-altitude" of their efforts were led to because of their late, appearance, on the stamp. Register W. T. Vernon, recorder of Redds Henry Lincoln Johnson, For- the same time the signs of the times, as reflected in the crushing Republican de- 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.

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 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.

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.

PAST WEEK AT CHICAGO "SOUTHERN SOCIETY" TO SEPARATE SCHOOLS MARY T. JOHNSON FUTHERING PLANS Chicago Does Not Want "Jim Crow Schools"—Henry Foster Walking from the Coast—Notes of General Interest. BY CARY B. LEWIS Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, IL., Nov. 16.—The colored citizens are in an uproar. They have on "war paint." 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. Johnson to further carry out the plan. At Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church last Sunday Dr. W. J. McDowell made a short address after the regular services, calling attention of the members of that church to urge that everything be done to stop her. The people generally are in favor of the present system and there is not likely that any change will be made. White and colored people, the same school and colored students, will be the only members of the gender and Chronicle are opposed to the separation as well as thousands and the matter will no doubt die in its infancy.

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.

RACE RELATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES The Negro's Intolerable Condition Is Pointed Out by Prof. Du Bois and Other Eminent Afro-Americans. AN APPEAL TO ENGLAND AND EUROPE. From Headquarters National Negro Committee, 20 Versey Street, New York, U. S. A. To the People of Great Britain and Europe: The undersigned African-Americans have heard and read the recent attempt to assure England and Europe that their condition in America is satisfactory. They sincerely wish that such were the case, but that they are not, by any way, that if Mr. Booker T. Washington, or any other person, is giving the impression abroad that the Negro problem in America is in process of satisfaction which is not true. We say this without personal bitterness toward Mr. Washington. He is a gentleman and American and a gentleman to his. But we are compelled to point out that Mr. Washington's large financial responsibilities have made him dependent on the rich man, and he has for years been compelled to tell, not the whole truth, but that part of it which certain powerful interests in America wish to appear as the whole truth. In flat contradiction, however, to the pleasant pictures thus pointed out, let us not forget that the consensus of us is that we know the race problem in America, from De Tocqueville down to Honaie, De Laveleys, Archer and Johnston, is that it forms the gravest of American pro- We black men who live and suffer under present conditions, and who have no reason, and reuse to accept reasons, or silence, can substantiate this unanimous testimony. We are more emancipated in a whirl of passion, and then left naked to the mercies of their enraged and impoverished ex-masters. As our sole means of defense we were given the ballot, and we used it so as to secure the real fruits of the war. Without it we would have returned to slavery; with it we stung to be hard to record our sooner, no never, had we rit ourselves and accumulated $600,000,000 worth of property in a generation, than this ballot, which had become increasingly necessary to the defense of our civil and property rights, was taken from us by force and fraud. Today the eight States where the bulk of the Degrees live, black men of property and university training can be, and usually are, by law denied the ballot, while the most ignorant white man votes. This attempt to put the personal and property rights of the best of the blacks at the absolute political mercy of the worst of the whites is spreading Along with this has gone a systematic attempt to curtail the education of the students in the system of "universal" education, not one black boy in three today has in the United States a chance to learn to read and white. The proportion of school students who are black spent on whites, and the burden on private charity to support education, which is a public duty, has become almost intolerable. My walk of life we meet discrimination based solely on race and on color, but continually and persistently misrepresented to the world as the natural race of humanity. We are, for instance, usually forced to live in the worst quarters, and our consequent death rate is noted as a race result, not as a consequence. When we seek to buy property in better quarters we are sometimes in danger of mob violence, or, as now Baltimore, of actual legislation to prevent. We are forced to take lower wages for equal work, and our standard of living is then criticised. Fully half the students refuse to be admended, and then claim that as "scabs" we lower the price or labor. A persistent caste prescription seeks to force us an demeanue us to mental occupations where the conditions of work Our women in the South are without protection in law and custom, and are deeply deprived of their system of deliberate public insult is customary, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, to secure decent accommodation in hotels, railway trains, restaurants and the剧院, and even in churches. China has not cases given to understand that we are unwelcome unless segregated. Worse than all this is the罪行 miscalculated by courts. Not only have 3,500 black men been lynched publicly by mobs in the last twenty-nine years without semblance or pretense of trial, but regularly every day throughout the country. The courts is used, not to prevent crime and correct the wayward among Negroes, but to wreak public dislike and vengeance against the people. In crime as a means of public revenue is a system well-nigh universal in the South, and while its glaring brutality through private lease has been underpinned by the underlying principle is still prevalent. Everywhere in the United States the old democratic doctrine of recognizing fitness wherever it occurs is losing ground before the republic of the country will be determined in political or industrial life to competent men if they have a trace of Negro blood, and of using the weapons of public insult and humiliation to keep such men down. It is today a unہدلالہ commandment that can still on occasions a social courtesy shall be denied any person of known Negro descent, even the extent of refusing to apply the titles of "Mrs., " or "Mrs., and the dominant tendency strong and brave Americans, white and black, are fighting, but they need and need sadly, the moral support of England and of Europe in this crusade for the recognition of the men, despite but no blood life differences of race; and it is like a blow in the face to have one, who himself suffers daily insult and humiliation in America, give the impression that all is well. It is one thing to be optimistic, self-targeted and forgiving, or to be different thing, consciously or unconsciously, to misrepresent the truth. (Signed.) J. Max Barber, B.

UNION FORCES SUGAR DOWN TO THREE CENTS A POUND COVINGTON, Ky., Nov. 16.—It is evident that the Union is bringing the sugar-selling combine to its knees by putting sugar down to the table and selling it per pound. Never before within our memory can we recollect of any concern accomplishing such a great help for the common people. No one has ever done it. We have ten cents a pound for sugar, for the Union price is now three cents. As everybody uses sugar about every day in the world, we can still will in time be felt throughout the entire land, in the home of every family. The International Liberty Union of the World, which has its principal office in New York, has a union company to furnish all the things that the members of the Union eat, wear, and use. So great has been the success of this plan that the Union members are now getting their sugar at the wonderful taste of the fruit, and matter what kind of sugar they want—brown, light or granulated—it is all at three cents a pound; and other things are proportionately at low wholesale price. This is certainly a move in the right direction, and one that our readers will thank for satisfaction in being informed about. Anyone that wants to know all about this Union movement, which is sweepstakes, is asking for information in asking for information to the I. L. U. of the World, 328 First National Bank Building, Covington, Ky., and we feel that Union will be glad to tell them all about it. --- G. W. GORDON. Special to THE FREEMAN CINCINNATI, O.

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. "We continue to be at peace with the rest of the world. In all essential matters our relations with other peoples are harmonious, with an ever-growing reality of friendliness and depth of recognition of mutualism. It is the most important to be promoted that during the last year great progress has been achieved in the cause of arbitration and the peaceful settlement of international disputes. "Now, therefore, I will be United States of AFRICAN, and I am with the whole custom of the civil magistrate since the first settlements in this land and with the rule established from the foundation of this government, do appoint Thursday, November 24, 1910, as a day of National thanksgiving and prayer, enjoining the people upon the law to meet their churches for the praise of Almighty God and to return heartfelt thanks to Him for all His goodness and loving kindness.

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.

Remember this offer is good only till January 1st. Send in your orders today. Address THE FREEMAN, Indianapolis, Ind. The Mexicans do not mean to endorse our practice of burning men. 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.

The colored Republican was victorious for the party, and had worked very unsatisfactorily for the success of the party. At the Colored Republican Club, in West 133rd street, everything is silent. 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. McDougall, the young Negro lawyer who was appointed to the district in the year, was one of the foremost speakers in the campaign. Mr. McDougall wields considerable influence here in the metropolis. Last Tuesday evening, in Y. M. C. A. Hall, the newspaper men of the city held an interesting meeting. A. H. Bowser, graduate of Harvard, and New York correspondent of the Boston Guardian, read an interesting paper on "Journalism." The Harlem section of New York, ranging from 132d street to 149th street, is one of the most representative Negro sections in the country. In this district will be found the homes and business places of many influential Negro residents of New York. Well-known men, like Charles W. Anderson, appointed under the Roosevelt administration as collector of internal revenue; Philip Payton, the well-known real estate man, and Dr. Henderson, a successful physician, all have residences in Harlem. Harlem is dotted with numerous business enterprises, such as shops, restaurants, real estate agents, millinery tores, law offices of successful colored lawyers, colored physicians, newspaper men, undertaking establishments—all may be found in this section. Perhaps there is no other section in the country that represents a busier scene of Negro thrift than is seen in Harlem. Further reference to this section will be found in another issue of The Freeman. The Fisk Jubilee Singers, of Fisk University, will appear in New York in a few days for a week's engagement.

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. His shirt and mule story were good enough for the film, he will be welcome when he returns here, the picture pictures when he returns here of the season for the present week consist of the follow-up, Clark, Hicks and Clark, in a carnival of truth; Danny Moss, in his acrobatic and dances, and Zamora, the snake charm. At the Lyre Theater last week there was an exceptionally fine bill, and Mason was an exceptionally fitted the house with the latest impressively spacious which maintains a temperature as spring. Hendon and Price, two lead boys, deserve great credit for their origine, the original pianist, the pianist, the Price, as the dapper lieutenant the part admirably, and Mr. Hendon, as the green soldier, kept the house, the original pianist, the entire act. If they choose to become missionals, they will be in great demand on the big circuit. Freeman were very clever as singing and dancing comedian, Freeman is a petite and winsome soubrette, whose acrobatic turn was some delight, and Freeman colored performers, while her costume work were quite stunning. Mr. Bonny undertook a tremendous task in trying to an ancient song, done to bear the name "Wouldn't That be a Dream." Notwithstanding its age, his rendition of it was so clever that it made quite a hit. Miss Laura Irre Saunders and Miss Ada Anderson, of Horse Cave, will spend the rest of the year uncle and aunt Mr. and Mrs. Isaac E. Black, at 2325 Magazine street. We are pleased to know that Mr. Richard, of 404 South Twelfth street, has been chosen to represent the Colonial Accident and Indemnity Company, as agent. During the past week the Calvary Baptist Church celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the church, the twenty-seventh of the acquisition of the church lot, which was the first piece of land deeded to college people in the missionary purposes in the church produced excellent programs and entertainments during the week, in which nearly all the leading professional men and women in the church were the Rev. D. A. Gaddie, Professors F. S. Delaney and Joseph S. Cotter, and Bessie L. Allen.

Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Smith have moved into their new home on West Cedar street. Mr. Geo. H. Keller visited in Forest last Sunday. The Normal School graduates will hold a meeting at the Public Library next Tuesday, at which time they will effect an organization. Mr. Frank Garret, of this city, died last week in Cincinnati. He was buried by the Eureka Court No. 5, of the Knights of Pythias. He was a faithful member of this court. A great many of our young men took the civil service examination for railway mail clerk this week. The fall exposition at the Bishop Dudley Memorial Building closed Saturday. It was a great success and quite a neat little sum was raised. Mr. U. A. Duffin, who was a partner with Mr. U. Lenah in the merchant tails of the city, happened for part unknown. He leaves many people to mourn his loss, especially Mr. Haley, who finds himself short $400. Mr. Jo Rome, who for thirty years was a member of the G. U. O. F. passed away last Friday and was buried Sunday. Mr. Jodie Ewing, of 835 Hancock street who has been confined to his home for the past six weeks, is able to be out again. Mr. Willard Davenport, who has been in San Francisco, Cal., has returned to his old home once again. Mr. Albert Miller, who has been residing in Chicago for the past ten years is in the city, visiting his aunt, at home.

The house was beautifully decorated in autumn and the decorations gave a most mystic and artistic effect. THE FREEMAN HOLIDAY OFFER Until January 1st.

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.

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.

They are risky, bourgeois, boyfriends. THE FIRST WEDDING OF THE TWO MEN reared in New Orleans, La., and have the same tact about performing that all the best Southern performers have.

ATHLETIC GOSSIP AT THE NATIONAL CAPITOL Howard Defeats Shaw 21-10—Lincoln Defeats Hampton 6-5—Howard-Lincoln Game to be Played at Lincoln Thanksgiving Day—Other Items. (By Robt. S. Crumpler.) WASHINGTON, November 18 — Singing "Old Shaw's body lies a-moulding in the grave," and toppling over with confidence that Hampton will not have a next Saturday, the Hampton will have a squad arrived in this city last Saturday morning from Raleigh, N. C., where they defeated Shaw by the most humil- tory score that has ever before been thrust into the spotlight. Howard defeated Shaw last Friday in Shaw's own village 21-0. Witnesses of the Lincoln-Hampton game last Friday asserted that Lincoln avenged her defeat of last year when Hampton depressed her with a score of 5-0, by defeating the Industrial Tigers, on their own campus, 6-5. The two teams matched that it was quite impossible to anticipate the aggressor at any time during the contest. Hampton will play Howard in this city next Saturday. It was officially given out here a few days ago that Howard has finally conceded to Lincoln's demand that a game between them for this season be played at Lincoln, and that a special train will leave this city Thanksgiving morning for Lincoln, Pa., where the game will come off that afternoon. The Howard-Lincoln game has more followers than any pulled off by colored teams. A game between them played at either Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore or Lincoln, will draw heavily from each of these places. Last year they played on Howard's athletic field and the paid admissions were more than 3,000. Intense rivalry exists between them, and never yet have they played a slow game. In 1907 Lincoln defeated Howard, 5-0; in 1908 the score was 7 t, 5-5; and last year Howard was victorious by a score of 5-0. Both teams are strong this year, and the outcome is doubtful. --- The second meeting of the athletic league of the colored public schools of this city was held last Tuesday in the society's annual school.

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. Each actor and actress played their parts so well that the story that Mr. Owsley wrote was brought out. 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. This little show of Mr. Owlsley's is good as any sermon to those who sin as well as those who there are not more Owlsley on the stage. The week of November 7 the Globe patrons received a surprise, and an agreeable one, too. While all the shows have been good, notwithstanding you can't please everybody. But this show made up people a huge change. The last laughs were for the feature attraction being John Pamplin, the Demon of the Tropic, a juggler unequalized by any we have ever seen. How and where Manager Frank Crowd gets such acts we don't know. He is to go to the show in the colored press. Mitchell and Brady are the girls who sing popular songs, went as big as the first night I saw them, five weeks ago. Joe Simms, the modern monologist, can and does tell stories that make you laugh. Maude Campbell and Pitts's pop and audience play were they are on. What more could be asked? "What a Friend Will Do," a comedy playlet by Tim Owsley, was such as we see and hear of in everyday life, and it was funny. Walker Thompson, as "the friend, going a pretty thing to be five times since. Evette Simpson, as the wife, was clever, and Tim Owsley, playing the comedy role, kept the audience in a continuous fit of laughing. If there is another man that can produce as many different shows of different nature and play, it may be a great success. I'm a good thing to come to see him Jacksonville will miss a man like him when his time comes to depart. "The Five Licorice Sticks" Now in the East. "The Five Loricee Sticks" going big in the East.

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.

Marinelli Agency, offered Johnson on £250 weekly for four weeks in London. The offer was made on behalf of Seymour Hicks. Johnson accepted. Steamer tickets were purchased. The right of his retinue were purchased. The day before he was to sell a cablegram from the Marinelli London office stated Walter Gibbons said if Johnson came to England he would be forced to play the Gibbons contract first or not play at all. Mr. Bernhaupt sent for Johnson and asked about the Gibbons contract. "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.

Mills is secretary and business manager of the St. Louis Giants baseball team. Felix Wallace, formerly of the St. Paul Gophers and the Chicago Giants, will captain the St. Louis Giants for the season of 1910. Young Erne, who defeated Sammy Smith at the National Athletic Club, Philadelphia, last week, is out in a challenge to Ad. Wolgast for the lightweight championship. Erne is willing to meet Wolgast at 133 pounds, ringside. A team of Japanese ball toasers will tour this country next season. It will give a series of exhibition games. This is a plan with which the National Commission cannot interfere, for the Japs are free agents and not subservient to the baseball law of the land. J. S. M. Lange, writing from Jacksonville, Fla., says that he is recuperating, also looking up his winter force. About the 5th of December he will start for New York, stopping at Washington, Baitimors, Philadelphia, Atlantic City. He says he is likely to take stock in the Leand Giants, which he considers the best team in the country. Jack Graham, known in the ring as Jack Grim, of Indianapolis, and at one time an opponent in champion, and of Kid McCoy, has shied his castor into the ring again. Grim has put himself under the management of the manager is on the trail of Kidotto, the Pittsburgh brunette who helped Jack Johnson at the game. Grim would take on any fighter in the country in the middle or light heavyweight division, and is especially anxious to meet a big card in six-hours in Pittsburgh. A VOICE FROM RENO. Jeffries Insists that He Was Doped Says John L. Sullivan Belongs to the Dog Class. LOS ANGELES, Cal.-For the first time since his fight with Jack Johnson on July 4, he at the direct charge that he must be "doped" before the battle in which he lost the world's championship. He also had a few words to say about the story of his fight with the Reno fist with Johnson was "fixed." A few weeks ago, Abel Attell, while in Kansas City, was credited with a statement to the effect that the colored champion had given Jeffries the "hinkydkink" otherwise known as the "double-cross." Next came John L. Sullivan with a talk made in Denver, he also makes the statement that the July engagement has to have been a crooked deal, but that Johnson experienced a change of heart during the last twenty-four hours preceding the fight. He recently branded the Kansas City and Denver stories as lies. "Never from the moment that I signed articles in New York until I came into the fight," he said, standing between Johnson and myself other than that the fight was to be decided strictly on its merits. Any man who speaks to the challenge John L. Sullivan to prove his statements," said Jeffries. "I trained the best I knew and fostered the best I knew and I have kept pretty quiet ever since. A great deal has been said about my doped. You may say for me that I am positive that I was doped some time during the last three days that I spent at a school, a gym, a soccer team and a squealer. I have spent a lot of money and am willing to spend a lot more to land the guilty party. Whoever he or they were, their tracks were covered up so thoroughly that it is next to impossible anything. "John L. Sullivan, who poses as 'the idol of American sporting public,' has charged that the Jeffries-Johnson bout was the most positive information in his possession. This being the case, he owes it to the public, to Jeffries and to himself to make a clean breast. If, within a reason- able time, Sullivan proves his assertions, it will be up to me to defend myself as best I can. "On the other hand, should Sullivan be unable to prove his charges, it appears that he is guilty of the molotol, Mr. Sullivan belongs in the dog class. "We offer Mr. Sullivan or any of his associates $1,000 if they will produce a proof that Jeffries ever knew of any agreement made between Johnson and Molly whereby Johnson was to lose the fight." FOOTBALL WAS ROUGH GAME AS EAR BACK AS 1583. As far back as 1583 the question of brutality was under discussion. The following is an extract from *Anatome of Brutality* by Stubbs, printed in London in 1583: "For as concerning football play, I protest unto you it may rather be called a hideous game, a hideous recreation, a bloody and murhering practice, than a fe'owly sport or pastime. For dooth not every one lye in the same game, and not every overthrow him and to pickle him on his nose though it be upon hard stones? In ditch or dale, in valley or hill, or place where it be, he careth not, so he may not be hurt, and sometimes the most in this fashion, he is counted the only fellow, and who but he? So by this means sometime their legs, sometime their arms, sometime their knees, trust out of it, sometime an other, sometime the noses gush out with blood, sometime their eyes start out, and sometime hurt in one place, sometime in an endeavor." But whosoever scrapeth away the best gooth not so scoffre, but is either sore and not scoffre, or is dith of it or else scrapeth very hardly. And no maevraile, for they have the $3.50 RECIPE CURES WEAK MEN----FREE SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY —YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS.

LANGFORD AND THE SUMNER LEAGUE Didn't Like the Menu, and Some Other Things. When Sam Langford was in town the other day the sporting fraternity did its best to make it pleasant for him. And they succeeded, for if any individual had a good sense of things pleasant for a sport, it is a brother's Strange how this class of folk cling together; in life, in death, it is all the same; the class goes its whole length doing its duty as it conceives it to be. So Sport is sports made it pleasant for Sam when he event, however, seemed to jar on his nerves. And would you think it? It came from the Summer League, the club of Negro swollenm. This club has had a lot of people. Those making up the club also have the reputation of doing nothing by halves. Well, to make a long story short, Sam and his associates, including several members of the manager, went to the pretentious looking building at the solicitation of some of the members. Sam aired himself, plumed himself, feeling that the time of his life He and his fellows pulled up at the club and, the curtain went up on the scene. Take it from Sam when he says the take it from menu - the doings. instead of chicken sausage cocktails, cocktails, and the rest of the appeaers from the culinary department, one well-organized basket of ham sandwiches made the circular shape of the long at one place, at that. Sam was horrified at one place, at that. Sam was horrified his friends that the best by the Negroes of the Hoosier metropolis was going to SAM LA As he recently appeared at the be pulled off just as soon as they were on the spot. Imagine the discomfiture when the big basket began its itinerary, and the sufficient, Sam says, he was permitted to pay for a round of drinks. "After having beer asked as a guest to the club," Sam yelled, "I was permitted to pay for it." He was not speaking in speech there. He made it at the Pekin Cafe, in the presence of Bob Armstrong, trainer to Jim Jeffries; Elwood C. Krox, manager of the Freeeman, and Dr. Joseph H. Ward, of the Ward Santarium, the only persons in his presence at the moment, was particularly red-headed, if possible. He took on awfully, saying, "And there were my white friends, Woodman, my manager; I was hurt." Mr. Knox had a visitor's card for the penguins at the club for Sam in his pocket at the time. Knox sang in and Sam roared. "Take it away! Take it away!" Knox said he didn't want it, and it was Sam's. Sam insisted to give to some friends, and then at Lewis protested, but Sam insisted, so, as a matter of a peaceful and happy final, relieved Sam of his card, and has it to this day. He will keep it as a reminder of Sam when mixed up with Jack Johnson. While Langford was raging about his shabby treatment at the Summer League Club. Dr. Ward smiled and said nothing. His mind apparently was concerned with Jack's arm, which he tarnished down a bit, the doctor blurted in his plain and somewhat humorous way: "O pshaw, Sam, you're heap too small a man to stand up before Jack." He was the first to point out the great muscles of his arms and shoulders and pronounced him abnormally developed. The doctor was convinced that Sam was a fighting machine, but shook his head and just stared at his ability to stand a show of winning over the big, burly champion. Referring to the older incident again, it appears that a more handful of the members got together and concluded that since Sam was in with the money, he might choose to blow his widow if he knew what to do. Yet know, they had an illustrious precedent in Jack Johnson, who, when here a year ago, or more, won the reputation of having spent $160 in a single night, "seeing Jack took the initiative; he wanted to go some. He piloted his own way, hence paid the cost. Sam was in the hands of his friends. Heaven save the mark! He permitted to pay for his own entertainment." --- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER SPEND FORTUNES FOR YOUNG BALL PLAYERS Sixteen Major League Clubs Pay Out $387,000—Largest Sum for New Nans CHICAGO, November 12—Several fortunes have been expended by the club owners of the two major leagues for the Chicago Cubs in the two leagues have paid out $387,000 for youngsters that are to be given a chance to show whether they are fast enough for the big leagues next year. The club paid $5,100 more than the National League, the American Leaguers paying out $225,650, while the National Leaguers paid $161,950 for the new men they will uncover. The club in the American League that paid out the most money for new men is Cleveland. That club heads the list of expenditures for purchased and drafted players, with a grand total of $44,850. The Chicago club, with a sum total of $29,000. In the National League the most money was spent by the Cincinnati club, $32,500 being paid out of the Reds exchequer for the team in next year's race. The Pittsburgh club was second on the list of National Leaguers, for Barney Dreyfus signed away $32,650 for new players to help the team win. In the National League the club that paid out the least money for new men is Boston. Only $5,000 was spent by that club for new men, and the next lowest club on the list was the Philadelphia club. They added a sum total of $7,750 for likely recruits. Detroit Spends Only Small Sum. In the American League the Detroit club spent the least amount for new men, only $13,150 being paid out for new Tigers. The next lowest of the American League clubs was the Boston Red Sox, paid out $7,000 for promising material. President Comiskey paid out $500 more money than the Cincinnati club, which NGFORD. b Empire Theatre, Indianapolis. paid the most of any of the National League clubs. The Chicago National League club spent $21,050 for new men. Both of the Chicago clubs together have paid out $60,-050 for new players for next year. Of this sum, $49,300 was paid out for players outright and $10,750 for drafted players. These figures have been given out by the National Commission, and are correct. The fact that the American League paid out $53,100 more than did the National League would indicate the younger of the minors, for a higher price was paid for some of the men picked up by the club owners of the young league than for those picked up by the minor players. Of the minors are picked up each season by purchase from league clubs before the drafting season is opened. The American League paid out $78,350 for the league play last summer, against $124,150 by the National League. For drafted players the National League paid out $46,700 and the American League $80,000. One hundred and seventy players were purchased by the two big leagues during the summer of which number the American League and the National League got seventy-six. One hundred and forty-seven players were selected by the two big leagues, and the American League got seventy-eight of that number, while the National League secured sixty- JEFF CLARK GOES DOWN. Missouri Pugilist Has No Show Before Langford, the Boston Tar Baby. JOPLIN, Mo—Sam Langford, the Boston Tar Baby, has demonstrated that he is as good as ever and that he is looking for all the easy money he can pick up to-day. In what was scheduled as a ten-round tournament here last Langford and Jeff Clark, in applauding ring fame, into submission in less than two rounds. Langford knocked Clark down three times in the first round and had him making round trips to the mat in the second, and then to the apothecary, the coroner being out on another call. "PREPARE FOR SLEEP." Jeanette Gives Advance Notice of Hay- maker. NEW YORK, November 11.—Joe Jean- ette is to-day one round nearer his cher- ished desire—to meet Jack Johnson. Jean- ette last night disposed of Black Bill, a giant Negro, in the fifth round of a scheduled ten-round fight at the Longeaure A. C. Jeanette was never extended, and when the fifth round came he walked to the center of the ring and notified his antagonist to prepare to go to sleep. He then put the black to the mat for the count. FELIX WALLACE, OF THE ST. LOUIS GIANTS. The St. Louis Giants management counts itself extremely lucky in signing up a new player. The new man has an excellent record as an infielder—in fact, an all-round player can play with success at most any station. The Giants have Paul Gophers in 1909, and was captain of GIANTS that well-known team. The season of 1910 he played third base for the Chicago Cubs and top-notchers. His important positions in them show well for Mr. Wallace. He will be leader of the St. Louis Giants, great things are expected of him for 1911. COACH THOMAS. ST. LOUIS. Mo—The baseball season over, football looms up big nowadays, and local colored aggregations are already down to hard practice. The well-known Summer High School eleven umbrellas store for her opponents this year. Saturday, in the first local game, she hopes to have little trouble in trouncing East St. Louis High School, Dr. C. L. Thomas, a product of Ohio, and is coaching the team. From 1902 to 1905 he starred with the Ohio Wesleyan University, and from 1905 until graduation with the Ohio Med. School, a product of Ohio, and is coaching the team.

They meet the All-Stars on November 19, and the final contest will be played with the Southern champions, Pearl High School, of Nashville, and the North Carolina body is pulling for the team and a great crowd is expected.

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. We are grateful for the cordial we come given us by the Church, for the kindness to "Men of Broadway" for their elaborate banquet given in my honor, and the Sewing Circle, for their grand reception tendered Mr.s Harvey; for all of these kindnesses, we are comfortably friends of the church we desire to express our highest appreciation. 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. We appeal to each member to consecrate himself or herself anew to Christ and to serve the Church. Alien Chapel whose conditions are such THE FREEMAN.

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. So we say to them, "You are not going to come to church and fill your place in the army of heaven in the fight against wrong. THE MARY FITZHUH RECITAL IN INDIANAPOLIS. Madame E. 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.
