Among the third of a million dollars has been put into permanent improvements, practically the facilities of the institution for the college work. In the Science Hall students are taking practical laboratory instruction and academic faculties have been based three-fold. The student body is raised from $80 five years ago to 100 today in preparing for the teaching of engineering, which will be inaugurated with a special department next year.

Tuesday was alumni day at Howard University. A business session was held in the morning and at noon Prof. H. C. Scurlock delivered the annual address. In the afternoon the I. S. A. track and field events were held and in the evening came the grand banquet. At this function covers were laid for 150, and in point of personnel and quality of speeches the gathering has not been excelled in the national hall. The other Thomas H. W. Clarke, formerly Judge Advocate in the Spanish-American war, acquitted himself splendidly as toastmaster. At the business session a resolution was unanimously adopted denouncing disfranchisement of the Negro race in certain states and decrying the spread of the lynching evil. Pians were laid to raise a fund of $10,000 for the erection of a gymnasium on the same day. The meeting was held at the欢迎 Hall. Dight O. W. Holmes, of Baltimore, was elected president of the Association for the ensuing year, and James C. Waters, Jr., was chosen as secretary. A felicitous event of the week was a election of Hon. James C. Napier as a member of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Napier is a graduate of the Law Department, the University, and is the first of the members with a place on the Board. He fills a vacancy that has been standing for a long time. Mr. Napier is the son-in-law of the late Congressman John Mercer Langston, at one time president of the institution and one of the founders of the law department. President Taft Opposed to Lynchings President Taft Opposed to Lynchings. The local papers have not been dispatched concerning the visit of the delegation of colored citizens who waited upon President Taft last week to urge him to send the lynchings to the state, lynching the lynchings that have taken place in such large numbers in the past month. The inference given out by the local press is that the President passed over the matters of the lynchings with sympathy with the request of his visitors. The whole truth will place the President on record concerning the sympathy with the purpose of the delegation and his response to the memorial submitted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was promised a future date with the requests contained in the document. The memorial, after dealing in detail with the evil of lynching, stated that the state would order and lessen the spread to such an extent in this country that human life—if it be that of a black person—is not safe anywhere in America. The President was also suggesting, suggesting that steps be taken to afford the Negro adequate protection under the laws of the land, and to remedy the ills that the state governments seem unable to deal with. President Taft, with characteristic frankness, told the delegation that as much as he abhorred murder—and he never inexcusable form—the punishment of such crimes, under the constitution, is a state function, with which the federal government has no power to interfere. He had to make effective, nor prove, that the establishment of offenders against state laws, and he could see no wisdom in attempting to exercise a power that he could not make effective, nor prove, that he law. He could not accede to their request at this time. He could not see his way to send a special message to Congress not only to give him the regular message to the national lawmakers in December next he would make clear his disapproval of the lynching evil, and urge the American people to restrain the delegation from the punishment of the Negro race, and stated that it was eminently fitting that the lynching evil should be thus brought to his attention as a means of attracting the sympathy of the people everywhere. He would go as far as the law allowed in putting down anything subversive to American principles. The delegation was presented to the President, who mentor Charles Curtis, of Kansas, who is taking a healthy interest in the fortunes of the colored people at the capital, and he remained to memorialize the event in an interview. The delegation was made up of Dr. W. M. Sinclair, of Philadelphia; Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, of Newport; R. I. Dr. Foster, formerly State of Arkansas; and Mr. Terrell Prof. A. H. Grimke, Rev. J. T. Warris, W. H. Harris, Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, L. M. Hershaw and Rev. J. Milton Waldron. Mr. Lewis to be Confirmed. William Henry Lewis, of Boston, will be confirmed as Assistant Attorney General of the United States to handle the long-delayed report of the Committee of the Judiciary. Monday the Senate judiciary committee announced the nomination of Mr. Lewis, and with a Republican majority in control, there cannot be any doubt that the recommendation of the committee has been referred to a committee composed of Senators Root, Sutherland and Bacon, Bacon and Southern Lawyers, and Lewis, but it thought, that they will no longer INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1911. THE SCOUT TO THE PARK Wanted--June Brides. offer objections, as it is shown very conclusively that there is no social significance to the committee's decision. Mr Lewis has been assigned. It is believed that the committee's findings will be sustained. Upon confirmation, Mr. Lewis will begin to draw salary. His salary will be determined. If his formation, must be authorized by a special bill to be introduced into Congress. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell Retires From Board. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the brilliant and energetic member of the Board of Education, retires from the position she has so long adorned, having declined to serve in the Board of Education. Day the Board met and elected Mrs. William Harris as her successor. Mrs. Harris is a lady of refinement and culture, ably equipped mentally for directing large public affairs, and she should make a great contribution to the system. The inability of Mrs. Terrell to serve longer, however, is regretted by every class in the community, with whom she is immensely popular. She will devote all her time for the present to the Board of Education, and she will be held June 14 at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church. The News in Brief.

Ample preparations will be made for the accommodation of students from abroad, and many will come from Washington. Four Negro "Democrats" attended the convention at Indianapolis. They have returned footsore and weary, sadder and more irritated than the regulars, Charles L. Barnes, L. C. Moore, C. Curtis and W. C. Payne, openly repudiated the alleged convention, knowing that it represented nothing more than the organized leaders of the Nerro wing of the party, but they insisted that the men go out to Indianapolis when they found that money had been collected from the convention to defray the expenses of the convention and railroad fares of the "delegates." This, they thought, was the best way to expose the weakness of the "sooners," who sought to get next to the plums that might fray the democracy that they are wondering why the "convention" was not held somewhere near—in Baltimore, for instance—for Washington sent four of the six who constituted the body of the convention. They went from here were H. W. Grant, the signer of the call, J. S. Greene, W. H. Nelson and Lymus Roulac. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, has introduced a bill to erect in the District a home for aged and infirm colored people.

She reunites the separated, makes peace when there is no need for the life of a man who, but will love you and marry you sooner if you will only heed this lady's consultation. Read what several ladies of the city say, "You are well-known Godsend to us. My husband and I separated over a year ago, and just think, since I called on this lady, he returned to me.

I don't care to be a hero And wear medals on my breast; I don't pimp me on my breast; And be famed for quulp and jest; I don't hanker for a million; Sordid riches are my dread; I just want to be protected I want to be my head. I desire not fame and honor In the field of politics. I despise the game, by ginger— It's too full of pesky tricks. I want to be to conquer, To be mighty in the hurst. All I want is to eat melon Without sloshing up my front. No one ever heard me sobbing I don't want to be conquer, I have been across the water, But for me—oh, not again. What I'd like to do, though, brother— It's my one great burning wish— I want that won't take summer And just smoke my pipe and fish. I'm not like a lot of people Who want that and who want this. Maybe, though, in feeling this way I want that won't take summer I just crave some simple blessings; I have mentioned just a few. Lastly, let me sleep each morning, Unmolested, till I'm through. —St. Paul Pioneer Press. The Tuskegue Summer School will be the best of the series. Prof. J. R. Lee, an educator of thoroughness and executive ability of the highest order, will be in charge. Will the administration salvage corps look after the colored "lame duck" also? Rucker, Lewis, Cohen, Dancy, Vernon, Goss, and are somewhat interested in this question. If the Washington Bee wants to be in touch with an editorial association, it will need to flock by itself. It is on the black list of the respectable journals of the country. Rev. S. D. Ferguson, son of Bishop Ferguson of the Church, West Africa, has written a valuation production called "The Liberian Hand Book," containing useful data of Liberian history. Dr. H. W. Wiley, the pure food expert of the Department of Agriculture, is turning his attention to the composition of mince pie. That other mystery—hash—is next on the list for analysis. Managers of entertainments should not neglect to send at least two complimentaries to the newspaper man, if they expect to have their affairs given proper attention. Many mean well, but do not know what etiquette calls for; hence this gentle hint. We can scarcely realize it now, but it is a matter of fact that convention at Chicago in 1884, John R. Lynch, of Mississippi, was temporary chairman, and Ex-Senator B. K. Bruce received eleven votes for the vice presidential nomination. White corporations fail, but no white man isolates himself from the world of business through want of faith in the integrity or capacity of his brethren. He is not a man who is successful as to the character of the men with whom he deals—but keeps on dealing. Worse things than the moving picture shows happen, the man against which the moralists inveigh well. There is no harm in the moving picture exhibits on Sunday or at any other time, if the pictures are instructive and the surroundings are what they should be. No voice was more potent for the real uplift of the race in this commencement of the University of North Carolina, Stafford, the Supreme Council of the District of Columbia, who spoke for Howard University and for the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C. Charles C. Amey, secretary and manager of the Durham Textile Mills (incorporated), is one of the Old North State's most entrepreneurial and resourceful business leaders, and is building solid basis. His goods are competing on equal terms with the best manufacturers in the market. The neat booklet, showing the whereabouts and what the graduates of Tuskegee Institute are doing, is a splendidly designed booklet that will want. It is interesting from cover to cover; and now that its existence is known, prominent educators and men of the country over, are writing for copies. The Negro does not lack money. It is estimated by a writer in the Banker and Investor Magazine that the colored people in the city are not at least $20,000,000 on deposit. In one bank in Washington, D. C., alone, they have more than $500,000. What the Negro must learn is the art of investing his money wisely. Bishop Coppin is "after" the preachers who are in the high-salled gentry he sees, and he isn't camping on the brethren of small means who would pay if they could; he is outting into the high-salled gentry he sees, and he isn't camping on the brethren of small means, and who think that tricky methods of "getting by" will be tolerated because of their cloth. Bishop Walters' Episcopal address at Washington last week was a "bell-ringer." While fully appreciating the friendship of the fellow men, he is right, the Bishop of Washington that it is the right of the Bishop diplomatically pulls the fans of the enemy who may be in a position to do harm by and by. The Negro needs friends in all parties. We cannot tell into whose hands we may fall before the game is ended. There is a "real editor" at the head of the existing National Negro Press Association. There isn't a cleaner or better man in the profession today than M. M. Carr, the "real owner" who are not willing to support Mr. Lewey are two-by-four "editors", who are mad because they cannot run the organization, and who, probably, would not be admitted to membership. Mr. Lewey is a great people whose room is better than their company. Dr. C. V. Roman, the noted specialist of Nashville, Tenn., would be an excellent successor to Prof. H. T. Kelaiang as editor of the A. M. E. Church Review. He is a man of great integrity and has a fine conception of what an interesting, live and informing church magazine should be. He would institute modern and unique features, without sacrificing the statistical dignity. Dr. Roman is just the man for the Review's sanctum turumor. Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the second district of New York, is a versatile genius. He knows more things besides politics. Recently Mr. W. Anderson, partner in patient care, was elected to membership in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This action was taken at the suggestion of the national metropolis. The officers of the Metropolitan Museum of Art are the museum manager, the museum officer; Joseph H. Chatee, vice president; and Robert De Forest, who manages the Sage Foundation, secretary. Mrs. Lella Coleman Walters, the accomplished wife of Bishop Walters, is a platform speaker of no mean ability as was demonstrated at the recent session of the Baltimore and Philadelphia conference in Washington, D. C., when she spoke with convincing eloquence on the duty of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society in the upfit of our brethren in the Dark.

THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. an agent, if any lone, lorn individual of either sex wishes to be put next to this rare chance for happiness, a letter sent by a bishop, accompanied by a stamp, will place him or her in possession of the desired information. W. Calvin Chase, whose occasional editorial in the Washington Bee has been distinguished from the contributed ones by the deadly assault they invariably make upon the king's English, is advocating the formation of an editorial association. There is already such an organization in existence, and M. M. Lewey, editor of the Florida Sentinel, one of the cleanest and best men in the craft, is its president. However it simply beats the pressure that neither the National Negro Press Association nor any other body of reputable journalists would permit the unsavory "editor" of the Washington Bee to become a member. Try it and see if we are not right! ! ! ! The presence of a live Bishop in a given locality is an asset to any denomination. The community where there is an episcopal residence with the community which sees a Bishop only once in a great while. Bishop G. W. Clinton has accepted an invitation extended by W. N.

NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD New Terminal Station Opened June 1 —Colored Men and Red Caps Are Employed. The massive doors of the new terminal of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad were thrown open to the public June 1. The structure which is costly in architectural work, is said to have cost over $20,000,000, and is one of the most thoroughly equipped stations in the world. The traveling public have been anxious—looking forward to the opening of this beautiful station to prove its progress. After much persuasive, the company has decided to install colored men in the new station to replace the whites. When the Northwestern directors reached this decision they decided upon Mr. Henry Anderson, one of their oldest and best employs, to have full charge of the "red caps" of 27 men to look after the wants of the public. He also procured William Bell as his excellent assistant. Among the successful men, Mr. Joe Peaks, Joe Curry, Joe Shoecraft, Wm. Cawwell, Richard Jackson, Mr. Saunders, Wm. Owens, Mr. Solomon, Mr. Curtis and others. It is the consensus of opinion that if the colored men prove efficient other railroad companies will do likewise. THE BAR hotel is the beautiful grill room. The management has engaged the full Abyssinian Orchestra to render afternoon and evening entertainment in the room dainty during the entire season. The open air amusements available to the guests are numerous. The lawn of the hotel contains both croquet and tennis court. The sea bathing at Cape May is unsurpassed on the Atlantic Ocean.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1911. Wanted—A Fourth of July without a casualty list. Just as Mexico is jubilating over her peace, then comes a catastrophe such as that city will long remember. The Governor defended his constitution right valiantly the other day, including the bit of disfranchising. It is being said in some quarters that Dr. W. H. Furniss, minister to Haytij, will be asked to stay at his post, owing to his efficient service. President Taft will be in Indianapolis July Fourth. Set it down as a big victory for this city. Well, Bookwalter always did say that Indianapolis was no mean city. There can be no objection to any committee.telling the President things, just so it sticks to the truth. Keep yelling, "Wolf, wolf;" he might come sure enough. The judge of the Atlanta court who told an attorney that he had to cut out calling Negroes "Niggers" should be congratulated. Ought to get a show in the courts anyhow. And just as the sun works all nature and the rest of us up to a most glorious pitch, it then suddenly faces the other way as if it had human understanding. June is the last month of the advancing sun. Well, a $10,000 per annum is worth the wild scramble. The timid ones are growing hold—coming out for the Haitien ministers—men who had never dreamed of such a thing. Jack Johnson, the champion, and his wife have been holding a levee on shipboard on their trip to see the king. It is thought that the king will not be able to monopolize the world's attention while Jack is around. Jack Johnson, who sailed to see the king last Tuesday said that he has not requested an audience with the king. He thought the king, however, would like to see him, and if he did he would stick around. If we get the proposed constitution it will be the first one in the history of the country that was prepared without advertisement. The people might have been apprised of the fact that the thing was coming off. The "mimic" life of the school room has prepared its thousands for the real life. The master has bade his last fond adieu, and with fear and trembling, knowing that the world of truth and reality is rigid in its requirements. The centenary of Harriett Beecher Stowe, the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," will be observed in many localities throughout the country, June 14, her birthday. The book is noted for its great influence on the slavery situation. It was greatly admired wherever there were civilized people. It compares in some respects to that other beautiful story, "Black Beauty." George L. Knox is home again after a trip to Tuskegee and other Southern points. He was very much impressed with what he saw. He speaks enthusiastically of the evidences of progress of the race. Everywhere Mr. Knox was accorded consideration; he was called on for addresses in various places. In all ways those whom he met showed appreciation for the man and his institution. The Freeman. The Indianapolis Freeman says: "The colored people of Harlem think of establishing a penny savings bank. T. Thomas Fortune, the veteran editor, thinks very well of the idea and advocates it through his publication, The Amsterdam News." And they will have what they "think of establishing," not necessarily because our Mr. Fortune "thinks very well of the idea," but because the children of Harlem are crying f$ it and the Amsterdam News stands for it. When the children of Harlem cry for a thing the men give it to them, so that there may be peace among them.—Amsterdam News. We acknowledge the correction. TELL IT AS IT IS. The committee that called on President Taft last week in opposition to the lynching evil said, among other things, that "The spirit of murder and lawlessness has spread to such an extent in this country that human life—if it be a black person—is not safe anywhere in America." Perhaps the statement of the condition had nothing to do with what the President had to say in his reply to the committee. We think he spoke as he thought to see the situation, and honestly of his own limitations in the matter. We are very much afraid the committee was not so frank in what it had to say. As a thing of self-defense, we, the Negroes of America, do not care to have it advertised broadcast that our lives are especially in danger in all parts of this country. Perhaps no importance was attached to the statement, yet it is extremely important, because of him to whom the appeal was made. And furthermore, appeals, petitions or what not of the nature are, in the reduction, generally addresses to the nation, and which finally means the world with which the protest is also registered. They are supposed to be authority on the points covered—not overstated or understated—but truths as thoroughly established as facts in sciences. The committee will know, if it reflects, that there are many sections of the country where the Negroes are as safe from violence as white men. This does not mean here and there, but generally so. Violence is the exception; nor is this pleaded in extinction; but in the interest of the truth. The mob is a truth; it exists now and then, here and there, but it is not universal. The foreigner too often entertains the notion that the Negroes are beating about the bushes in America like African Hotentots. And why should they entertain such a notion? The committee evidently meant simply to state its case as strong as possible. It should, however, remember in doing so, that it spoke in the name of the Negro race of America. Every member does feel the blighting influence of the mob, and doubtless sees some propriety in the committee's action. We will not think that any member cares to have it thought that he were living in a reign of terror. For our part, we insist that if committees feel called on to see the President concerning any thing that in a general way affects the race, that they go representing truthful conditions. We think that the race will not object to us saying, that in most parts of the country the Negroes are in no ways subjected to violence. WILL HE BE CONFIRMED? It is said that the confirmation of William H. Lewis as United States Assistant Attorney-General is by no means assured. From the very beginning doubt was expressed anent the confirmation, because the appointment was thought a little high class. Perhaps the appointment came at an unfortunate time, in view of the political maneuvering that begins about this time quadriannially, that is, immediately preceding the national conventions for nominating candidates for the presidency. The Lewis appointment is of importance and significance. In our political idealism we sometimes forget, at least, temporarily, that there is ever a play for party advantage. We push the offices as far from view as possible in the interest of our patriotism, yet it is plain enough that our patriotism at times need encouragement by way of power—office —to reduce it to the common understanding. And this is no peculiar position. The world before us found it expedient to mix its patriotism. If Lewis fails in confirmation it will be due to the supposed influence the appointment will have as it concerns party success. In these preliminary days every little move added to the one before, makes just a little bit more, to paradize a popular song. The personal claims of Lewis whatever his ability or fitness may be, we think, will not stand for much. They will be overtopped by the weightier claim of party success with its mixed blessing. Individuals are pawns in times immediately preceding nominating conventions. And a year is immediate for such monster happenings—there must be time for results else the finely played hands would count for nothing. The claims of the race, doubtless will be weighed, are being weighed, the value, however, is relative; it fluctuates. Compensations for losses is ever in mind—possible losses as the greater bulk of the vote is affected by the selection of Negroes for office. Perhaps this is a disagreeable thought; politicians are not given to discussing it "out loud," but it's an unwise politician that does not enter the item into the account. It will also be admitted that such offices as Lewis has been appointed to is grudgingly conceded even when there is no danger of the loss of votes, but of course due to the same racial feeling. If he fails, however, it will not be due to his race in that strict sense, but due to what may be thought the influence of the appointment will have on the votes of those other than the race. WE ARE NOT SO BAD. A Jamaican Negro, discussing the race situation in the New York Age, had the following in a recent issue: "It is well known that in the Island of Jamaica the Negroes are provided with first-class schools, that they suffer under little or no racial discrimination. Since they have good school facilities, equal civil and political rights with the white man, why is it that they leave a country where they enjoy the same opportunity to get an education that the white man enjoys, and the same opportunity to use all the conveniences of travel, hotel accommodations; etc., without discrimination?" We've been preaching that gospel for quite a while and we scarcely got an Amen. We do not mean that everything is as lovely as marriage bells in this country, but observation teaches us that we are way ahead of all other Negroes of the globe. We have much to contend for, since with our heritage has come that aggressive American spirit which believes in seeing the other fellow as much as he is, and then going him one better. We are restless, reasonably restless, meaning the preservation of present liberties and the acquiring of others. What has been considered slipping backward has proved to be an advance, although by another route. And what's the difference. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. when all roads lead to Rome? Money possibility has come through civil halting. What else could have made it possible? Could a weak, moneyless people have competed successfully with unlimited means and the sharpened wits of the world's elect? We think not. O, yes, there are causes for congratulation along with those for regret. CHARLES E. EMERICH DEAD The death of Charles E. Emerich, formerly principal of Manual Training High School of this city, was a very regrettable happening of last Tuesday. Thousands of persons, pupils, teachers and those in the various walks of life in this community are saddened, owing to the news of the passing of the veteran teacher. Indeed, the intelligence of his death will carry very far. Many of those who came before him in the thirty-seven years of his teaching career are in various parts, some are in foreign lands. Wherever they are they will pause to reflect. They will see, momentarily, again the strong featured German master under whose leonine guise flowed the rich warm blood of life. To the pupil, on first sight, Mr. Emerich appeared quite ferocious, and he was rather stern until he dominated the situation, after which his real nature showed forth. But at all times as a disciplinarian he was as the velvet sheathed iron hand. He was intensely for duty; he made it his business to see that the pupil was also intensely for duty; the fact being established one could make it with Mr. Emerich. For a number of years Mr. Emerich taught German in the Shortridge High school. He followed as supervisor in German in the schools in general, after which he was made principal of the Manual Training High school, one of the very best schools of the kind in the country. He had much to do in bringing about this very excellent institution, and for which the citizens will prove grateful to his memory. The distinguished educator added to the educational zeal of this community. His life appeared one devotion, and that to school interests. School boards, superintendents, and teachers noted this ruling passion and turned it to good account. In adding to the educational zeal he added to the name of the community as an educational center whose doing became noised abroad, thus attracting many who came to profit by what was being done here. In this way Mr. Emerich's educational light illuminated further than here—further than we know. COMMENCEMENT DAYS IN LANTA—TEACHERS APPOINTED. Special to THE FREEMAN.

They were well received. These boys have some good live stuff that has not been, as a rule, in this class of houses. Notes Mr. W. H. Smith has been in the city several days making preparations for the opening of that which he will have charge after it is remodeled. The Suanee Trio at the Pekin last week featured Iowan Lawson's latest composition, "What a Time." It was the hit of the act. Miss Mabel Gant has gone to Dahomy Park, Dayton, Ohio, to fill a week's engagement. Next week, at the Pekin, The Clippers and Harper and Gillam will be among the attractions. May and May are the big sensation of Brownsville. FOSTORIA, TEX.

Everything seems at its brightest, And the world seems to be gay; People shout with hearty laughter, Gayly passing time away. I say, seems so bright and happy, For who sees behind the mask? Who sees the heart that sings so gayly? Tis like the wind that beats the mast. 'Tis like an object freshly painted, Gaudy, bright, in bold relief. Yet who sees that flaring scarlet, Thinks perhaps black lies beneath? 'Tis like the actor being funny, Telling tales to make you gay. Who stops to think perhaps that morning His beloved was laid away? 'Tis like the dancer in the ballroom, Its glittering lights and music grand. Laughing gayly with her partner, Everything at her command. Yet beneath that mask she's wearing No one sees the anguish pain, Or tears or sorrow in song. Which in solitude will reign. We are all not masqueraders, Each deceiving foes and friends, To be unmasked, But there'll be one great unmasking Before our God, on Judgment Day. Thus is the world, and will continue So long on this earth we stay. STAGE NOTES. Otis H. McDaniel is stage manager of Robinson's Park, Dyersburg, Tennessee.

NOTES FROM EPH WILLIAMS FAMOUS TROUBADOURS. By W. Goff Kennedy. After a few stands in Virginia, we are back in North Carolina. Our season has been one triumphal march; greeted everywhere by the fans. Ms. Jones is proving quite an addition to the company. Her rendition of "My Heart is Yearning for You," stamps her as a true artist, and the big number in which she plays is the one she brings voiciferous applause. Our minstrel show, which opens at Durham, N. C, June 5, has everything necessary for a first-class show. A few old Troubadours will bring Goff Kennedy, R. J. Anderson, bandmaster R. C. Puggsley is manager and Edward Baskle, treasurer. Thomas Brawn, one of our comedy stars, is well placed with the other stars of the wire. L.

A letter dated April 15, in "The Player," by a white actor or man, whose name I have forgotten, seems to be imbued with all the brightest qualities of prejudice and ignorance imaginable. Let us pass up the 14th amendment and the will up and go down to the facts regarding actors. The actors of the colored race have no reason to be alarmed because one weak, ignorant white man says that "Negroes should not be placed on the same bill with white actors as it is." Such an argument is unworthy of notice, but as it was published in the organ of the White Rats I can dismiss it by stating that this man is about twenty-five years behind modern civilization. He thinks that white musicians do not take up from the music and formers. The only reply to that is that nobody cares whether such musicians resign or not. He says the white and black races cannot and must not mix. But they can and do and have mixed, so he can't help it and nobody cares. The White actors to refuse to work on a bill with colored performers. It would be out of the question to get even a small percentage of white actors to listen to such twaddle, and managers would not submit to it. The public demand would be more strongly everything to please them for their money. They say for it and must have it. And, furthermore, it is an open insult to the entire white race of performers, and it is a statement impossible things that make white actors a laughing stock for the black ones. Here I will state, as I have before, that white actors are more laborer than the weakest end of a great defender unions form a most decided bad, uneven combination. The moment that white actors joined with stage hands and other laborers, that moment they became the most passionate body of laborers, who have been contending for their rights by opposing the Negro laborers, then taking them in to have safely side-tracked. I had made the philosophy of the labor union to be a safe place, and finally came out in the New York Clipper to show that there is only one safe journey for colored actors to pursue, and that is to remain outside as an in-between step, so that any other move would be a lost hope to the business tact of a winning hand. The White Rats, a body of actors, whom personally I have nothing against, have erred to such a distance, together with affiliating with labor as the weakest end of a struggling and very often ill-advised organization, that any proposition they might offer to the colored women of the war of a million, would be utterly out of the question of safeguar and a false alarm. The future strength of actors as an organization in America will lie only in the effort of one unbiased body of men, regardless of race, creed or color, and no other kind of a body, either sectarian or affiliated, can ever hope to win. I could dwell at length upon this subject so favorable to color and perform the because of the ig- sment mistakes of the White Rats by some of their members. We must bear in mind that B.F. Keith is the father of modern continuous high-class vaudeville in this country, and had among his earliest headliners Black Patti, Ernest Hogan, Williams and Walker and Cole and Johnson. To those who know the true history of America it need not be told that the condition will never totally change, and new great colonists will shine again. SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING. The Memorial Benefit to the Late George Walker. The George Walker memorial benefit, conceived and promulgated by the H. C. T. Walker, a prominent musical Club, of Washington, D. C., has passed, and will be remembered as one of the greatest affairs of its kind yet. The George Walker artistic social and financial success, and marks a new epoch in the world of players. Much that is good has been said of the late George Walker. He was undefeated in the stage and man, and not have greatness thrust upon him, but a man who achieved greatness over seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The immortal Shakespeare tells us, "All the world's a stage, and man a merely players." George Walker's talents and artistic ability made him one of the most conspicuous characters in the world of players. True, a great achievement, but more important to petulate the memory of the man is indeed commendable. But the first movement to perpetuate his work came from his fellow-low-payer, but was received curried to successful fruition by some of the most intelligent minds and some of the most aristocratic and conservative leaders. Not only may he be said with immunity that this THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. THE FATHER AND THE CHILD PRINCESS WEE-WEE. Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Annex Attraction — Featured as the World's Smallest Lady. Princess Wee-Wee, the world's smallest lady, is the feature attraction this season with the Barnum & Bailey circus annex. This little woman is indeed one of the most interesting bits of humanity before the American public today. If one will imagine a child about two years old just beginning to walk and be curious about the world, she will be wee-Wee. The little woman is actually so small that one can easily hold her at arms length in the palm of the hand. Princess Wee-Wee was born at Bryn-marr, Pennsylvania and is 21 years of age. Her height is 17 inches and she weighs seven and one-half pounds. The lingerie consists of infant's apparel in size purge and simple and her shoes are of the dimensions of an ordinary doll. This case is a rather puzzling one to the medical profession everywhere. Both parents are of normal size and no member of the family on either side are of diminutive stature. The Princess has been on exhibition five years and demands a salary of one hundred and fifty dollars per week. James and Lacy Thompson are the parents and they reside at 1520½ North Mount street, Bacchus, Id. HOWARD. benefit marks a new epoch in the world of players. Not long since, the Negro on the stage was burdened by this same class of people as "non ens," or, as the French say, "mauvias sujet"—a bad subject. But later the field has been invaded by talented minds, the believing all art is possible. We have many artworks of the highest art their ambition, and the evolution towards the highest and best is becoming so marked that the Negro on the stage is forcing recognition from It is doubtful if a more representative audience was ever assembled to pay tribute to an actor of any color, country or race. It is doubtful by intelligence and culture. The ladies were handsomely gowned and the air was redolent with the perfume of many flowers. Col. Lincoln Johnson, Judge Terrell, Judge Melvin and other men were the commissioners and service were there. The field of journalism was represented by Calvin Chase and R. W. Thompson. Every art and science had notable exponents in the audience, which was in very truth an audacious achievement. The program to their greatest endeavor. The entertainment opened with remarks from the president of the club, R. G. Dogget, to whose indefatigable labors the credit of credence to the success of the benefit must be given. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. Robert Pelham and Mrs. A. M. Curtis were the next contributors, and were enthusiastically received by the club. The following artists peared in turn. Clarence Cameron White, the Jeter String Trio, Miss Edna T. Gordon, M. Curtis, J. Rosamond Johnson, Barrington Guy, Misses Thompson and others. Andrew Trible, S. Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, and concluded with Aida Overton Walker, assisted by Belles and Beaux of Washing-ton, composed of students from Harvard University, was efficiently directed by James Reese Eutope, conductor of the famous Clet Club Orchestra. The merit of the program was fully attested by the generous manifestations of approval the au- The greatest monument Mr. Walker erected to his memory exists in the person of his wife, Aida Overton Walker, the embodiment of grace, the culmination of the artistic. Mr. Walker was a great man; Mrs. Walker is as great a man; you realize the maximum, "Ars est colare artem"—"True art is to conceal art." BUSBY'S WORLD'S GREATEST MINSTREL SHOW. J. M.

I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weak manhood, failing memory and lame drunks, brought on by excesses, unnatural curse so many conflicts of youth, that has affected in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and health should have a copy. So I have decided to send a copy of the prescription of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who writes me for it. the prescription comes from a physician and is written a special study of bone and I am concerned with combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. think I owe it to my fellow man to meet him a copy in confidence, so that man, who are who is weak and disarmed with injuries may stop harassing himself with him, secure what I believe is the quickest, restorative, upbuilding, TOUCH-TOUCH-TOUCH-remedy ever devised, so cure himself just drop me a line like this: A. P. Robinson, $231 Luck Building, detroit, M. of this man, and I will send you a very enery envelope free in a plain doctor's doctors would charge $3.00 to $10.00, merely writing out a precription like this—but I send it en- ley Ketchel, but the only one who had nerve enough to cover it and fight was Ketchel, Woodman, who is Langford's friend. He tacked right down when he found that he was not hurt, but ever since then he has been telling me, Langford can't get me into the ring." "Now, to settle this tiresome controversy," continued Johnson yesterday, "may say that if any responsible promoter in ammunition hangs up a suitable bunch of coin and there is no interference, I will fight Langford under any conditions Woodman may name. If Langford wants to buy $1 million, $2 million, or the Lil Arthur will accommodate him. But I'd rather box with a white man, because that's where the interest is, and also the money. I don't want to be a man worthy of a battle with me. I am interested in the proposed fight in Oklahoma between Jim Flynn and Cad Morris. I knocked Flynn out several years ago, but he was improved a lot. He must have shown the ability to stop Kaufman the way he did. If Morris can put Flynn away in a hurry he'll look like the only white heavyweight in the world, and just say that he is ready. Personally, I think Morris is ready. Personally, I think Morris is on the level he'll be an exploded phenom. But they tell me that sharp felts will be known how to make things sure, just the way they do at the winter race tracks. "Mr. O'Rourke deserves credit for getting up his white hope tournament. It is a very promising sure enough "alzer" in a very promising fellow who needs experience. He is game and likes to fight. That's half of it, my boy. If a fellow is chicken-hearted and doesn't boxing, good-night? I'm not worrying about it, but I don't cause I don't see anybody that can make me perspire. But young fellows are springing up all the time, and some day we may discover one who can give me a fight. Then, I say, may the best man win. EASY FOR CHICAGO GIANTS.

JACK JOHNSON MAY GIVE WELLS CHANCE AT TITLE. Hugh McIntosh Says Match is Assured—Bout Planned for London. LONDON.—A battle for the heavyweight championship of the world between Jack Johnson, the titleholder, and Bombardier Wells, who claims the title. The winner, McIntosh, the Australian promoter, who is usurping with his club the place for THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER merely held in British sporting circles by the National Sporting Club, will stage the bout. He showed a telegram to Johnson, asking terms. The bout will come off next autumn. McIntosh insisted that the big fellow will make a great showing. He said that he that Johnson Wells how to stall off the giant leg. He instructed "If Wells can keep away from Johnson for five rounds", said McIntosh. He said that Johnson one of the hardest hitting pugs I have ever seen. He is a wonder, and we will have him in shape to annex the title by next autumn or winter. Johnson some time ago asking him if he would fight Wells. He agreed, and then I wired hi ma tentation, and then Johnson formal challenge and said he was coming over here and would sign articles." McIntosh said the terms would not be made until Johnson signed up. He will stage the twenty rounds at his new club in London. BOOM THE BOXING GAME DOES JACK JOHNSON HELP Someone writing recently under the caption "Boom the Boxing Game," gives some valuable information concerning some of those of the game. He speaks about the game, the fight, and the heds of the white ones. He has the following to say of McVey, the big Paris Negro, with whom Langford recently fought in t hat city. McVey draws in t hat city, and he chooses of scene from Paris. For years the California Negro reigned in France as the uncrowned king but his recent fight with Langford tumbled him off his throne and he fell with him. He was the idol of the Parisian mobs, acclaimed and cheered wherever he made his appearance, today he is hissed and hooted openly, and the change in public sentiment makes him wish to get away from the Lumiere. McVey is the second to tween McVey and Jim Johnson. They have fought twice before, a fifteen-round fake draw in Paris, which led up to a return match in which McVey knocked out twenty-one rounds. Both took place in Paris. There is at least one man who believes that McVey is better than Langford, and another who believes that Armstrong, who has trained and seconded Langford for and in his last few fights. Bob says that he knows that McVey can beat the Tar Baby, and is making his way over to McVey. Armstrong will train McVey for his next go with whatever it may be and hopes to see McVey again. Armstrong will return to the other side of the water." --- Thus will one note that burly Bob is again at it, giving out opinions about the fighters. He will be remembered as the officious individual who gave it out that the fighters would put him to sleep at Reno. He wasn't good at the guessing business, and nothing has transpired that now proclaims an anaclit. According to the book of *Renon* the oracle will bet against Armstrong's advice. But the tail and brawny may have a method in what he says. In fact he defends his mistake by saying he is in the business to make sure that he will win, but it may be studious. O! you wily Bob! It is plain enough, however, that the betting fraternity don't want to become enamored of the Armstrong tips. It is the book of *Renon* Game. The writer speaking of Joe Gans, says: "When Joe Gans met Frank Erne in New York in their first battle, Gans quit in the twelfth round after Erne had butted open. Gans was not otherwise hurt, but nevertheless he stopped, and Erne was declared the winner. But despite this episode Gans showed clearly in his battles that he was not a bad player and stand up under a hard heating without exhibiting any lack of gameness." The memory of Gans will help the boxing game when it is remembered that he was a little gentleman, had gentility of conduct, as well as being a little master. He was a man of great repute, comes repugnant when it is the dumping ground of human refuse. I mean the cullings. Manly men, gently men, should be the slogan, men that are jealous of the game's reputation. The game is as bad as those who make it up—no better. The little master did not hurt it; he helped it. On the street he would have gone to a business man—a successful lawyer, doctor, dentist or professor. He was undemonstrative; he wore no loud clothing, nor did he appear to care to attract attention, and those things were in his favor and which took to as readily as if born to the purple. The writer says again: "There is no doubt whatever that the late Stanley Ketchell believed that Jack Johnson possessed the streak of yellow until he went against the big Negro and then shared the same belief, but the opinion has not had many supporters since the Reno disaster." Many more thought the champion a great individual, an individual accident became champion, defeating a somewhat obscure man—the Australian Burns. Really there had been no way of knowing Johnson's fitness. The great big fellows offering up men to take their places, Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Choynski and a few more of the first rank were going well up into the wears. Physical endurance has its limitations. These men had passed the successors were physical degenerates. And that no one yet appears with his prospects of doing successful battle with the champion of champions. Jeffries had retired, but so recent that he might not be neglected forth as the modern Achilles and thus save the day. His retirement was fatal. He was like food—meat, potatoes, coffee, that lose his boquet when the original out. The recall is humanly impossible notwithstanding some close counterfeits. --- Has Jack Johnson contributed to the respectability of the fighting game? It is quite a question. He has scared it up; he has questioned it; that much is also certain. In some respects Johnson has conducted himself sanely enough; in others not so sane. He appa- nies himself, though, when he man with the money has has and the applaun- dant Either is sufficient to turn an ordinary head. He feels sore because he thinks the police lay on him because he whoops up in his automobile. He says "I don't go faster than other people." He may not, but he should remember that all eyes on him and that if he would enjoy liberty he will have to be very circum- spect. Johnson has not been considered an extravagant dresser. However when he con- duces it, he sees the king he gave it to that it would have to fit him out cap-a-ple. Well, a man with that much money perhaps should have a good wardrobe. Whether he should advise it is another question. LEWIS. DALLAS, TEX. Special to the FREEMAN. With high school at the Coliseum Monday night, June 5...Hon. C. H.
